Chapter five hundred and ninety-four. The beginning of man.

"Regarding these three points, will His Royal Highness be able to do it in the future?"
During the inquiry, Zhao Shancai had a serious expression and looked directly at Prince Zhu Heyu.
After Prince Zhu Heyu hesitated for a moment, he also solemnly replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely do it!"
Different from Emperor Deqing's great achievements and self-centeredness, Prince Zhu Heyu's excellent qualities include following the good and humbly accepting opinions without touching the principles.
In addition, Prince Zhu Heyu now felt guilty about Zhao Shancai, so although his promise at this time was only a short sentence, it was absolutely not false or perfunctory.
After hearing Prince Zhu Heyu's assurance, Zhao Shan raised his head and took a deep look at Prince Zhu Heyu, nodded slowly and said: "A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold! Since His Highness the Prince has given such a guarantee, then I am relieved."
, I just hope that when His Royal Highness encounters problems in the future, he can recall today's promise and never forget about it."
As he spoke, Zhao Shancai's expression was calm, but a trace of worry flashed deep in his eyes.
On the other side, Prince Zhu Heyu quickly spoke again and promised that he would remember his recent promises, but did not notice anything unusual about Zhao Shancai.

Zhao Shancai did not doubt Prince Zhu Heyu's determination and sincerity, and knew that once Prince Zhu Heyu made a promise, he would try his best to change himself. However, Zhao Shancai had no confidence in Prince Zhu Heyu's ability and emotional self-control.
Although Prince Zhu Heyu has made a solemn promise now, whether he will still remember the promise he made today when encountering problems in the future is another matter.
It's just that every time Emperor Deqing's confidence and expectations for Prince Zhu Heyu were destroyed, it would be more difficult to build it up again next time. But how long can Emperor Deqing's patience last? If Emperor Deqing's patience
If all is used up, I am afraid that Prince Zhu Heyu will completely withdraw from the stage of history.
"It seems that the most urgent task now is not to reverse the disadvantage of the 'Prince Party' in the temple, but to try to reverse the character of His Highness the Prince. Even if it cannot change his character of hating evil and being unable to rub sand in his eyes, it still needs to be done.
Let him learn to be patient, otherwise the results of my hard work will only be in vain... However, His Highness the Crown Prince's character has been set, and it will not be easy to change it in a day, but I don't know how long I can last with my current physical condition.
…”
Thinking of this, Zhao Shancai's eyes became more worried.
Zhao Shancai is very aware of his current physical condition. Although he cannot be said to be terminally ill and incurable, it is not far away. In recent days, Zhao Shancai has been bleeding heavily every time he goes to the toilet. The amount of blood is getting larger and larger each time, and all
It was smelly black blood, followed by bursts of dizziness; when eating, he would experience severe abdominal pain, and the pain became more and more frequent each time, making it unbearable. If this trend continues, Zhao Shancai may soon die.
Died young.
Thinking that his life was not long, even Zhao Shancai was a little panicked. However, Zhao Shancai had a strong character and never showed his panic. Instead, he seized all the time to plan for the future of Prince Zhu Heyu.
If you don't finish many things now, you will have no chance in the future.
While his mind was ups and downs, Zhao Shancai shook his head gently and suppressed all the emotions deep in his heart.
In the next moment, Zhao Shancai was still the calm and wise Jiangnan talent, and did not show any abnormality.

After receiving the assurance from Crown Prince Zhu Heyu again, Zhao Shan nodded and said: "I have heard about today's court meeting. In the next ten days, His Highness needs to stay in the East Palace behind closed doors to think about his past, and he has to prepare for a while.
It is not a bad thing to submit a memorial to His Majesty to express his repentance. It is a good opportunity to avoid the limelight. After ten days have passed and His Majesty's anger has subsided, we still have a chance to restore the situation."
Prince Zhu Heyu nodded repeatedly and said: "This is natural. As long as we have Mr. Zhao's assistance, we will definitely be able to reverse the situation in the future."
Zhao Shancai did not answer, but continued: "The top priority now is still the memorial to express reflection on His Majesty. If this memorial is written, then Your Majesty will forgive His Highness again. On the contrary, if this memorial is not written,
At this point, I am afraid that the situation your Highness will face in the future will be even worse. Now that the situation in the temple has changed, Your Highness cannot leave His Majesty's support."
Prince Zhu Heyu asked: "In your opinion, how should this reflective memorial be written?"
Zhao Shancai shook his head and said: "This time, I will not directly help His Highness. It is better for His Highness to come up with this memorial himself. After His Highness has finished writing it, he will give it to me for review. If there is anything wrong, I will highlight it."
Let Your Highness rethink it until you get it right."
Obviously, Zhao Shancai hoped that Prince Zhu Heyu could think independently and rely on his own wisdom to write this memorandum of repentance, and also take the opportunity to let Prince Zhu Heyu reflect on something.
Having said this, Zhao Shancai's expression became slightly colder, and he actually clearly expressed his intention to see off the guests: "We still have ten days, which are both generous and compact. Your Highness, you'd better not delay, and we'll do it now.
Let’s think about how to write that memorandum of repentance. If Your Highness, you haven’t got to the point, these ten days may not be enough. And I still have many things to deal with, but I can’t accompany Your Highness.
.”
After saying that, Zhao Shancai picked up the book again and continued to read, but he never looked at Prince Zhu Heyu again.
Seeing Zhao Shancai's performance, Prince Zhu Heyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he did not dare to go against Zhao Shancai's wishes, so he planned to turn around and leave Zhao Shancai's study.
However, out of curiosity, Prince Zhu Heyu took a look at the book in Zhao Shancai's hand before leaving, wondering what Zhao Shancai was planning now, but found that the book was actually a directory of officials from the Ministry of Personnel!
Then, Prince Zhu Heyu couldn't help but ask: "The book in your hands is the directory of officials in the Ministry of Personnel? Why do you want to read this?"
Seeing Prince Zhu Heyu asking about his purpose, Zhao Shan pondered for a moment and felt that sooner or later Prince Zhu Heyu would know about this matter, so he did not hide it and said: "I want to find some available talents for you, Your Highness.
Now His Highness the Prince only has the full support of Qingliu. However, although Qingliu can build momentum, they are lacking in ability, achievements, means, etc. Just relying on them is not a long-term solution. After all, Your Highness the Prince, you still need some capable people.
Assistance from people who do practical things. If these people help His Highness the Crown Prince to make some achievements, then His Highness the Crown Prince’s situation in the temple can be greatly improved, which is a long-term solution."
As he spoke, Zhao Shancai's expression was indifferent, but he concealed a crucial thought, that is, if he himself suddenly died of illness one day, with today's preparations, the prince would not fall into the dilemma of having no one available.
In fact, it was out of this consideration that Zhao Shan asked Prince Zhu Heyu to write the self-examination memorial alone!
