On this day, after the end of the early dynasty, the prince was in the east palace.

The crown prince Zhu Heyu, the pavilion elder Cheng Yuandao, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Lu Chunxiao, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Bao Wenjie and others, all gathered together, and after Zhao Shancai lost his official position, he was now taken in by the prince Zhu and Yu and became guests of the prince's East Palace, and they also sat aside.

A few days ago, Zhao Shancai was removed from the Southern Tour team in private, and was dismissed from his official position and fame by Emperor Deqing.

If such a heavy blow is placed on other people, if the psychological quality is a little worse, it is common to seek death and life, even if the person with a strong heart is very likely to collapse from now on.

However, at this time, Zhao Shancai was as handsome and indifferent as ever, and his eyes were still bright and wise, and he didn't seem to care about this matter at all.

For Zhao Shancai, fame and official position are not everything, but just a way for him to achieve his goals.

In Zhao Shancai's view, after he was deprived of his fame and official position, he may also be a blessing to lose his horse - first of all, he has no mundane affairs from now on, and can assist the prince Zhu Heyu wholeheartedly; Secondly, this incident also made the prince Zhu and Yu feel guilty about him, and wanted to make amends, but he valued Zhao Shancai more and more. The party's low-key behavior in the temple also originated from Zhao Shancai's suggestion.

The most important thing is that as long as the crown prince Zhu Heyu can successfully ascend the throne in the future, then Zhao Shancai's official position and fame that he has lost now will naturally receive a tenfold and hundredfold return.

Therefore, such a blow not only did not defeat Zhao Shancai, but instead stimulated Zhao Shancai's fighting spirit and arrogance.

In the past few days, Zhao Shancai has moved into the prince's east palace to live and become a guest of the prince. sub-party" all the forces.

Zhao Shancai believed that his lurking was only temporary, and when he appeared in the temple again, it was when the situation in the temple was turned upside down!

*****

At this time, the prince Zhu and Yu were full of helplessness between their expressions, and said to everyone: "In the early court today, the officials of the 'Shen Party' rose up to impeach Zhao Junchen, the momentum is quite huge, it was originally a great opportunity, if we take advantage of the situation to cooperate and act at the opportunity, it may not be able to shake the foundation of Zhao Junchen, but Mr. Zhao thinks that we should now keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity to change, so I will be patient for the time being, but I missed a good opportunity." ”

Hearing the faint complaint of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai sighed lightly and said: "Please bear with your Highness for the time being, the current situation in the DPRK and China is not good for us, not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at our every move, but even His Majesty is quite dissatisfied with us in his heart. ”

After a pause, Zhao Shancai said again: "In addition, Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't look at Shen Changmao as the first assistant of the cabinet now, but the 'Shen Party' does not have the ability to shake Zhao Junchen's foundation, at most it can only cause some trouble to Zhao Junchen, even if we add our strength, I am afraid it will be useless, so today's 'Shen Party' impeachment of Zhao Junchen seems to be huge, but it will not have any effect...... What's more, His Majesty and Zhou Shangjing are now making every effort to stabilize the situation in the government and the opposition, and they will never allow a fierce conflict between the 'Shen Party' and the 'Zhao Party'. ”

As Zhao Shancai's words fell, Lu Chunxiao also echoed: "Your Highness, what Mr. Zhao said is reasonable, you see that after the people of the 'Shen Party' impeached Zhao Junchen, they were immediately reprimanded by His Majesty, if we impeach Zhao Junchen together, I am afraid that it will cause Your Majesty's dissatisfaction again, so Your Highness, you should still follow Mr. Zhao's advice, it is better to be still, and wait for the situation to change." ”

In the past few days, Zhao Shancai's intelligence and character have long been the key to making the "prince. The party "everyone is secretly convinced, so although he is still young, he is only white now, but whether it is the prince Zhu Heyu or the "prince. All the officials of the party called Zhao Shancai "Mr. Zhao" to show their respect and attention to Zhao Shancai.

Prince Zhu Heyu shook his head and said: "I'm not questioning Mr. Zhao's suggestion, but I just watched those traitors and corrupt officials in the court do whatever they wanted, but I could only sit on the sidelines, and I was inevitably a little depressed and impatient in my heart, but I didn't know how long I had to endure it." ”

Seeing the depressed appearance of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, Zhao Shancai secretly shook his head.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, on weekdays, is also like a fluent admonition, and can humbly follow the advice of others, but only after encountering something related to Zhao Junchen, he will become impatient and stubborn.

In a way, after the crown prince Zhu Heyu was repeatedly defeated by Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen has become his inner demon and flaw, and he may be used in the future.

"This kind of situation can be small or big, but it can't be ignored, and we still have to find a way to slowly resolve it in the future." Zhao Shancai thought secretly.

However, Zhao Shancai did not show what he thought in his heart, but explained to the crown prince Zhu Heyu with a calm expression: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will never wait too long, then Zhao Junchen confidently received the errand of rectifying the commercial tax, and then he will inevitably do a big job, no matter whether he succeeds or fails in the end, the situation between the DPRK and China will inevitably change again, and at that time, there will naturally be many opportunities." ”

After hearing Zhao Shancai's explanation, Prince Zhu and Yu seemed a little helpless, but they still nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the young master of the crown prince, Guo Tang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Actually, the old man sent someone to contact His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince yesterday, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince also thinks the same as Mr. Zhao, and also thinks that we should be patient and wait for the situation to change now, dilute the impact of the previous events, and wait until Zhao Junchen's business tax rectification action begins, and then look for an opportunity to act again." ”

After hearing Guo Tang relay the views of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, everyone on the field nodded, even the crown prince Zhu Heyu, the impatient expression on his face was slightly lighter.

Zhao Shancai and the intellectual vision of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, "Prince. The party "everyone is convinced, since the two of them have the same idea, there will be nothing wrong with thinking about it, so" the prince. "The party can only wait patiently for the opportunity.

However, after hearing Guo Tang's story, Zhao Shancai frowned slightly.

In the past few days, Zhao Shan has gradually discovered that whether it is the crown prince Zhu and Yu, or the "prince. The party's "officials" have reached a deep-rooted level of dependence and trust on the Seventh Prince, Zhu Heyu.

However, Zhao Shancai did not trust the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian because of the reminder of his ancestor He Ming, and he had always been secretly vigilant, so he had been trying to downplay the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian's "Tai. sub-party".

So, Zhao Shancai suddenly spoke: "Senior Guo, you should not contact His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince privately in the future, it is a taboo for foreign courtiers to contact the prince privately, and the current situation is a little sensitive...... In addition, I heard that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince's condition has been recurring a little these days, so let's let him rest in peace. ”

On the other hand, considering Zhu Hejian's physical condition, the crown prince Zhu Heyu also sighed, and agreed: "Indeed, the seventh brother has not been in good health in recent days, let's not let him bother, let's wait for him to get a little better." ”

Seeing Zhu Heyu say this, Guo Tang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

At this moment, suddenly a eunuch of the East Palace walked into the living room quickly, holding a post in his hand, and reported to the crown prince Zhu and Yuyu: "Your Highness, an invitation has been sent from the house of Zhao Junchen, the secretary of the household department. ”

After hearing the report of the eunuch of the East Palace, everyone on the field was stunned.

Zhao Junchen is the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but now he has sent an invitation to the prince's East Palace, and the situation is inevitably a little weird.

Prince Zhu and Yu frowned and said, "Zhao Junchen sent an invitation? What exactly did he have in mind? Bring me the post to see. ”

After reaching out to take the invitation, Prince Zhu and Yu took a look, but they were stunned again, and then turned their eyes to Zhao Shancai, and said: "Although this invitation was sent to the East Palace, the person Zhao Junchen wanted to invite was not me, but Mr. Zhao, and said that he invited Mr. Zhao to meet in Tianhai Pavilion at noon today." ”

While speaking, the crown prince Zhu and Yu handed the worship sticker in their hands to Zhao Shancai.

After Zhao Shancai took the invitation with both hands, he glanced at it slightly, and then showed a thoughtful look.

At the same time, the crown prince Zhu and Yu said: "Mr. Zhao, that Zhao Junchen has always been scheming and ill-intentioned, and he invited you to meet today, I am afraid that he is also uneasy and kind, in my opinion, you don't need to pay attention to it." ”

As the words of Prince Zhu and Yu fell, the "Prince. The party also expressed their approval.

In their opinion, no matter what Zhao Junchen's intentions are, getting together in private with a corrupt official like Zhao Junchen is itself a matter that damages his reputation, and he should naturally avoid it as much as possible.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Shan said: "Your Highness, I think it's better to go and see Zhao Junchen to see what his intentions are, and you can also take the opportunity to inquire about his specific plan to rectify the commercial tax, which will also be beneficial to us in the future." ”

Seeing that Zhao Shancai wanted to meet Zhao Junchen, Prince Zhu and Yu frowned slightly, but finally said: "Since Mr. Zhao has his own considerations, then I can't stop it, I just hope that Mr. Zhao will not fall into Zhao Junchen's trap." ”

In fact, Zhao Junchen sent the invitation to Zhao Shancai to the hands of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, I am afraid that he also had the intention of dividing the relationship between Zhu and Yu and Zhao Shancai, but the stubborn character of the prince Zhu and Yu also has benefits, that is, he will never be suspicious of the people he trusts, so Zhao Junchen's ill intentions are naturally in vain.

On the other side, Zhao Shancai also thought of this, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't know whether the prince Zhu Heyu's excessive trust in the people around him was a good thing or a bad thing, and he said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have my own response, and I will never let Zhao Junchen find an opportunity to take advantage of." ”
