Chapter five hundred and seventy-four. The compassion of the prince Zhu Heyu.
…
…
Before Zhao Shancai assisted Crown Prince Zhu He, Crown Prince Zhu He's ability to collect intelligence was really unflattering. Even some important intelligence that could not be ignored was often only discovered after the fact, or even not noticed at all. .
Fastest update
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. On the other hand, if you can't even detect the basic dynamics of your opponent, then it's no wonder that Prince Zhu He was always plotted by the foxes in the court.
In fact, Prince Zhu He's slow response cannot be blamed on Prince Zhu He to a large extent. After all, it takes a lot of money to set up an efficient intelligence agency. Although Zhu He is the crown prince, he
He has never amassed money. He only has a fixed salary for the prince every year. He has to maintain the operation of the East Palace and support a large number of people under his command. It is quite stretched. Where can he have spare money to buy informants and collect information?
However, after Zhao Shancai officially moved into the East Palace to assist Prince Zhu He, he gathered all the resources of the "Prince Party" together through series and integration methods, and actually set up a small-scale intelligence agency for Prince Zhu He.
, although the efficiency may not be so efficient and the actions may not be so covert, at least Prince Zhu He is no longer a hindsight.
Therefore, later that day, Prince Zhu He also received news that Shen Changmao and Zuo Lanshan had met and had a secret meeting.
When the news was received, Prince Zhu He was writing a memorial in his study.
Since Prince Zhu He helped Emperor Deqing successfully join the cabinet, the relationship between father and son has eased a lot, so Prince Zhu He wanted to strike while the iron is hot and take the opportunity to express some political opinions to Emperor Deqing.
"Oh, Shen Changmao and Zuo Lanshan met in private and had a secret conversation?" After hearing the report, Prince Zhu He stopped writing, raised his head and frowned and asked, "Do you know what they talked about?"
Zhu He's subordinates were not as talented as the "Zhou Party". Of course, it was impossible to guess the content of the conversation between Shen Changmao and Zuo Lanshan through clues, so after hearing Prince Zhu He's inquiry, they just shook their heads to express ignorance.
Fortunately, Prince Zhu He has made great progress during this period. After thinking about it for a moment, he also noticed some clues and sneered: "I'm afraid the two parties of 'Shen' and 'Zhao' are secretly colluding. It's nothing more than Shen Changmao wanting to stabilize the situation."
They want to hold on to their own power, while Zhao Junchen covets the vacancy of Minister of the Ministry of Industry! ... Huh! These treacherous officials and corrupt officials really have no bottom line and only have interests in their eyes. A few days ago, it was life and death, and now they are colluding together.
!”
The person who reported information to Zhu He was named Li Cheng. He was originally just an ordinary clerk in the East Palace, but he was diligent, thoughtful, and attentive in his work, and rarely made any omissions. Although his intelligence was only average, he could still be regarded as a talent.
After Zhao Shancai settled in the East Palace, in view of the lack of talents under Prince Zhu He, he discovered Li Cheng and asked him to take on part of the work of compiling and summarizing intelligence.
At this time, Li Cheng did not express any response to Zhu He's words. He just asked: "Your Highness, this information should not be taken lightly. Do you want to inform Mr. Zhao about it?"
The "Mr. Zhao" in Li Cheng's mouth naturally refers to Zhao Shancai.
Zhu He naturally understood the importance of this information. The connection between the two parties "Zhao" and "Shen" was likely to cause changes in the situation in the court. If Zhao Shancai knew the news, he would definitely be able to formulate practical plans and arrangements, even if not
Fighting for the interests of the "princeling party" will at least make Zhao Junchen, Shen Changmao and others suffer a hidden loss.
However, Zhu He hesitated.
Without him, Zhao Shancai's physical condition has been really bad during this period of time. He would experience severe pain in his stomach from time to time. Even if Zhao Shancai is determined, it is unbearable and he breaks out in cold sweat. Now, this severe pain has become more and more severe.
, became more frequent, even day and night, so Zhao Shancai had not slept peacefully for many days.
In the past two days, Prince Zhu He invited the miracle doctor Zhang Decheng to diagnose and treat Zhao Shancai. However, even a highly skilled doctor like Zhang Decheng could not find out the cause of Zhao Shancai's illness. He could only use acupuncture to relieve Zhao Shancai's pain.
Not long ago, Zhang Decheng came to the Prince's East Palace to administer acupuncture and analgesia to Zhao Shancai. Zhao Shancai, who was suffering from pain, finally got some relief, and then was forced to sleep and rest by Prince Zhu He.
Because of this, Zhu He really didn't want to disturb Zhao Shancai at this time.
Finally, after Zhu He hesitated for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, Mr. Zhao has been working hard and suffering from illness during this period. Now that he has finally rested, it's better not to disturb him! This information will wait for him tomorrow.
Just tell him when you wake up, it won't delay anything."
According to Prince Zhu He's thinking, even if the two parties "Zhao" and "Shen" are in tandem with each other, they will not take action immediately. Even if the two parties "Zhao" and "Shen" take action immediately, as long as he and "Taiwan"
With the concerted efforts of all the "sub-parties", it can be delayed for a day or two, which will not allow the "Zhao" and "Shen" parties to successfully achieve their goals, so even if the news is told to Zhao Shancai a little later, it will be the same.
On the other side, although Chen Cheng was diligent in his work, he never had any independent opinions. After hearing Prince Zhu He's decision, although he felt something was wrong in his heart, he did not dare to object after all, and just nodded in agreement.
There is no doubt that Prince Zhu He is kind and compassionate and a good boss who is considerate of his subordinates.
Unfortunately, kindness and mercy are the same as bravery and endeavor. Although they are good qualities, if they are used at the wrong time, they often lead to bad things.
At the same time, Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian also received relevant news.
However, Zhu Hejian was not surprised at all about Shen Changmao's secret meeting with Zuo Lanshan.
After all, at this time, limited cooperation between the "Zhao" and "Shen" parties would be beneficial to both parties. As long as Zhao Junchen and Shen Changmao are not fools, they will know how to choose.
Zhu Hejian is a firm person who puts interests first, so he has predicted these things a long time ago and takes them as a matter of course.
Looking at the various information in his hands, Zhu Hejian paid more attention to another seemingly insignificant news than the news about Zuo Lanshan and Shen Changmao meeting and having a secret conversation.
"Zhao Junchen plans to formally bring Fang Ru into the palace and take him as a side chamber? And let Zuo Lanshan personally help him invite guests to witness it?"
While muttering to himself, Zhu Hejian's eyes fluctuated slightly.
"Zhao Junchen pays more attention to Fang Ru than the rumors... But he suddenly made such a decision and made such a big fanfare. Does it mean that he has finally decided on his wife? Is it Duke Chen of Jing State?
You's daughter Chen Zhirong? Or Su Xiuning, the daughter of Su Changzhen, the governor of Southern Zhili? If it's Su Xiuning, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns in my plan... just in case..."
It is precisely because Zhu Hejian is a firm person who puts interests first, so he directly ignores the possibility of Zhao Junchen marrying Cui Qianxue. In Zhu Hejian's view, Zhao Junchen and he are the same kind of people. If he marries Cui Qianxue,
The benefits gained were too small, and Zhao Junchen would never make this choice.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Hejian suddenly raised his head and said: "Come here, please invite Duke Jing to come to the mansion to see me!"
