Whether it is in the officialdom or in the court, there are always clouds of eyeliner from all sides, and they infiltrate each other, and it is difficult to hide any secrets.

Therefore, the news that Emperor Deqing planned to select a woman of appropriate age among the court officials and eunuchs to marry Zhao Junchen and personally gave Zhao Junchen a marriage had spread throughout the court and the opposition before the next day, and it made a lot of noise about it.

Among them, the officials of the court and the central government are the most concerned about this, and after hearing the news, they can't help but secretly speculate - under the personal inquiry of Emperor Deqing, which wealthy family will Zhao Junchen marry with? And after such a marriage, what impact will it have on the situation between the government and the opposition?

After all, Zhao Junchen's current power influence in the court is already not to be underestimated, if he marries a meritorious family in the future, his influence may be further enhanced, and the situation of the government and the opposition will naturally change, for the hundreds of officials in the court, it is a major event that everyone is looking forward to.

Among the various forces, the first to get the news was Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince who had a close relationship with the inner court!

…………

In the evening, in the Seven Princes' Mansion, Zhu Hejian's study.

At this time, the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, under the service of the maids and servants, was reading the twenty-four histories with a focused expression, while drinking a decoction that nourished the body.

Zhu Hejian's health has always been not very good, especially in recent times, the situation has deteriorated a little, and the night before yesterday was a violent cough all night, and now Zhu Hejian only feels hot in his chest, throat paralysis and sore throat, all kinds of discomfort, which makes him miserable.

It's just that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian's heart is the most tenacious, except for the sickly pale cheeks, there is no other abnormality now.

Suddenly, a middle-aged Confucian student entered Zhu Hejian's study, and stood quietly not far in front of Zhu Hejian, but did not speak, just waiting for Zhu Hejian to take the initiative to ask.

Zhu Hejian was not surprised, but after glancing at the middle-aged Confucian student, he asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

This middle-aged Confucian scholar is the confidant and strategist of Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince, and has always been responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence.

The middle-aged Confucian said slowly with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, there is news from the inner court, saying that it is Your Majesty He didn't know why, he suddenly cared about Zhao Junchen's marriage, and asked for a list of women of appropriate age under the major meritorious families in the court. ”

Zhu Hejian's eyes flashed, and after muttering for a while, he suddenly raised his head and drank the remaining decoction in the medicine bowl in his hand.

The taste of the decoction was extremely bitter, but when Zhu Hejian entered it, he didn't even frown at all.

Then, Zhu Hejian handed the medicine bowl to the maid beside him, and slowly instructed: "You guys go down first, Mr. Guo and I have something to discuss." ”

Then, after the servants left, Zhu Hejian finally said indifferently: "This is also expected. Now that Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong can have the upper hand, it is beyond the expectations of many people, and his father is afraid that he has only because of this that he has understood the depth of Zhao Junchen, and knows that he can no longer treat Zhao Junchen as usual, so he began to change his attitude, which is to show favor to Zhao Junchen. ”

Mr. Guo's face was clumsy, always deep and unpleasant, and after hearing Zhu Hejian's comments at this time, he also said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, you can see it clearly." However, this incident may be an opportunity for His Highness. ”

"You mean......" Zhu Hejian's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a look of thought in his eyes.

Mr. Guo said slowly: "A few years ago, Your Highness and Chen Luoyi, the eldest daughter of Jing Guogong, made a marriage, although because His Royal Highness's body has not been very cool, and has not officially married, but the relationship between Jing Guogong and His Royal Highness has always been close, and as far as his subordinates know, in addition to the eldest daughter Chen Luoyi, there is another second daughter under the knee of Jing Guogong, named Chen Zhirong, whose family background is a good match for Zhao Junchen, and now he has also reached the age of marriage, it is rumored that he has a good appearance, and is smart and lovely, If this Chen Zhi can be married to Zhao Junchen as his wife, then wouldn't Zhao Junchen become a brother-in-law with His Royal Highness? ”

While speaking, Mr. Guo saw that Zhu Hejian was thoughtful, and added: "Your Highness, you have always wanted to marry Zhao Junchen as a foreign aid in the court, and from now on you can help each other inside and outside, but unfortunately although Zhao Junchen has also shown kindness to His Highness, his attitude is lukewarm, and people can't see through his mind, but if the two sides become brothers-in-law in the future, and Chen Zhirong is agitating by the pillow, I think that Zhao Junchen can only serve Your Highness." ”

Hearing Mr. Guo's advice, Zhu Hejian was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled coldly and said, "Dead hearted? A person like Zhao Junchen, even if it is his father, I am afraid that he will not be able to make him die to the effect, I am now just a useless prince who is weak and weak, how can I easily subdue him? Your speculation is a bit taken for granted...... However, I don't need his loyalty now, as long as he is willing to ally with me, it will be a good result, and you can try such a plan. ”

"Your Highness is wise."

Zhu Hejian ordered: "I will write a secret letter, you will immediately send someone to send it to the Duke of Jingguo, since the father has made up his mind to marry Zhao Junchen, I think that the matter will come to an end soon, we must also do our best, and we must not delay." ”

"Subordinates obey."

Seeing that his idea was finally adopted by Zhu Hejian, a trace of self-satisfaction flashed in Mr. Guo's eyes, and he agreed solemnly.

…………

After "Mr. Guo" left with Zhu Hejian's secret letter, Zhu Hejian's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

In fact, when Mr. Guo mentioned that Emperor Deqing planned to choose a wife for Zhao Junchen to marry, Zhu Hejian immediately had the idea of taking this opportunity to marry Zhao Junchen.

It's just that Zhu Hejian didn't mention such an idea, but pretended not to think of it and asked Mr. Guo to take the initiative.

The sovereign must not compete with his subordinates, nor should he think of his subordinates in front of him in everything, otherwise, the subordinates will feel that they are useless, they will feel that their talents cannot be displayed, and they will lose their enthusiasm and enterprising spirit when doing things.

For the current Zhu Hejian, his power is still hidden in the shadows, and subordinates like Mr. Guo can't show their faces, let alone be taken seriously.

In this regard, Zhu Hejian naturally calculated very clearly.

Therefore, Zhu Hejian never cared, let Mr. Guo's subordinates give full play to their "talents and minds" in small things!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the other hand, Zhao Junchen is now cooperating happily with the inner court, and now Emperor Deqing wants to arrange a marriage for Zhao Junchen, which is a happy event anyway, so the eunuchs in the inner court naturally reported the news to Zhao Junchen as soon as possible in order to please Zhao Junchen.

However, not long after Zhao Junchen returned to the house, Zhang Xiu, the apprentice of the eunuch Zhang De and the eunuch in charge of the Yangxin Palace, had already rushed to the Zhao Mansion to ask for a meeting.

"Oh? His Majesty is so concerned about my private affairs? Not only do you personally intervene, but you even plan to personally match it for me? ””

In the study, after hearing Zhang Xiu's report, Zhao Junchen's eyes narrowed slightly and said softly.

Seeing that Zhao Junchen was just thoughtful after learning the news, but he didn't look happy, the eunuch Zhang Xiu couldn't help but wonder, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Zhao, Your Majesty personally has a heart for your marriage, this is a great honor, why don't you seem to be very happy, my lord?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled and said, "How come? His Majesty's marriage, and even personal matchmaking, for the courtiers, can be described as a rare imperial grace in a hundred years, how can I be unhappy? Naturally, I was happy, but I was a little surprised when I got the news suddenly. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm not happy now, I'm afraid it's those major meritorious families who may marry me...... I have a bad reputation among the government and the opposition, and now His Majesty wants me to marry one of them, which is like a basin for them, and it will not help them in the long run, how can they be willing? Now that they've got the news, they're panicking, right? I was afraid that His Majesty would appoint a woman from their family to marry me. ”

Saying that, Zhao Junchen smiled again: "If when His Majesty matches the marriage for me, those meritorious families refuse one after another, I'm afraid I will be embarrassed." ”

Zhang Xiu thought about it, with Zhao Junchen's current status, although it seems to be beautiful, but there are countless hidden worries, such a situation is really possible, but he had to be relieved: "My lord, you are too careful, a promising young talent like you is the son-in-law of those meritorious families, how can they refuse?" Not to mention anything else, it depends on the fact that you are now in the court to overwhelm the elder Huang Yourong, and if you are a clear-eyed person, you understand the weight of your authority, and now Your Majesty personally cares about your marriage, which shows that your holy family is grand, if you can marry your lord, how much benefit can it bring to them? They wish they could marry adults. ”

"I hope so."

While speaking, Zhao Junchen turned his head and nodded slightly at Xu Qingyan, and then saw a trace of pain flash in Xu Qingyan's expression, and took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve, came to Zhang Xiu's side and stuffed them into Zhang Xiu's hands.

"Thank you father-in-law for informing me of this, a little heart, and I hope my father-in-law can accept it."

Seeing the amount of silver tickets in his hand, Zhang Xiu's face showed joy, and then he said a lot of good things, congratulating and currying favor with Zhao Junchen again and again.

After Zhao Junchen finally knocked Zhang Xiu away, before he could sort out his thoughts, Fang Ru had already come to the study. (To be continued.) (Go)
