After a period of busyness among the imperial doctors, or massage, medicine or acupuncture, Zhu Hejian finally stopped coughing, but his face was still pale and scary, as if he would fall ill again at any time. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

As for what happened to Zhu Hejian's body and why he suddenly coughed sharply, the imperial doctors didn't seem to be able to say why, but in this case, the imperial doctors naturally didn't dare to say it clearly, and could only deal with it with the same reasons of "weak body" and "need to recuperate".

……… Of course, these news were all inquired by Zhao Junchen and the eunuchs in the palace, but as for the specific details, Zhao Junchen is no longer clear. The palace is forbidden, Zhao Junchen is not suitable for going deeper, and it is not easy to follow Emperor Deqing again, so after Zhu Hejian was carried to the harem, Emperor Deqing, the crown prince Zhu Heyu and a group of princes also followed. However, Zhao Junchen was led to the side hall of the Yangxin Palace, where he waited for Emperor Deqing.

"If this Zhu Hejian is really sick, it's fine, if he deliberately pretends to be sick, it will be very difficult."

In the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, recalling the scene in the prince's study, Zhao Junchen thought secretly.

Zhu Hejian's health is indeed not good, this is for sure, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it from the doctors of the Tai Hospital. If he fakes his illness, such a deliberate violent and continuous cough is not a joke for a person like Zhu Hejian who is born weak and sick, and if he doesn't get it right, the fake illness will become a real illness, which will hurt his vitality.

If Zhu Hejian's illness was really deliberate, and his purpose was just to interrupt the crown prince Zhu Heyu's counterattack against Zhao Junchen, so as to show favor to Zhao Junchen, then this person is not only deep in the city, but also his resolute heart is even more terrifying in Zhao Junchen's eyes.

After all, in this world, in order to achieve the goal, the vast majority of people can be cruel to others, but there are always very few people who can be cruel to themselves.

"Lord Shangshu, you should sit and wait for Your Majesty, Your Majesty is accompanying the Seventh Prince, and I estimate that you will have to wait for a while."

Just when Zhao Junchen was thinking about it, several little eunuchs brought tea and snacks, and the young eunuch who was the leader of them also brought a stool and said to Zhao Junchen flatteringly.

Thinking that he was waiting in the side hall of the Yangxin Palace, and even if Emperor Deqing came, he would only summon himself in the main hall, even if he sat and rested for a while, he would not be seen by Emperor Deqing, and it was no big problem, so Zhao Junchen no longer shirked, but took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver, stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch, and said with a smile: "Thank you to a few fathers-in-law, this little tea and wine silver, a little meaning, you can take it and divide it." ”

The eunuch glanced at the amount of the silver ticket in his hand, and the smile on his face became more humble and respectful: "I have heard Master say a long time ago, Lord Shangshu, you are the most polite to us subordinates, and it is also our blessing to be able to serve you today." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile, and after sitting down, he asked, "This father-in-law has seen him for the first time, I don't know what to call it?" ”

The eunuch said respectfully: "Our family's cheap name is Zhang Xiu, who has just joined the celebrant eunuch, and now he is working in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and his foundation and qualifications are shallow. ”

Zhao Junchen smiled: "Father-in-law, you are a close eunuch next to Your Majesty, but I am a foreign minister, where did you come from?" However, you were able to enter the celebrant at a young age, and you became the steward eunuch of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and your future is immeasurable, your master is Zhang De and Zhang Gonggong, right? Why don't you see Zhang De's father-in-law driving today? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Eunuch Zhang Xiu's expression became even more humble: "My lord is wise, Zhang De's father-in-law is indeed the master of our family, and it is also the blessing that our family cultivated in the previous life. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said again: "However, His Majesty's birthday is coming, this is a great joy, these days, the palace and the palace are all in Zhangluo, all the palaces and palaces, are also being renovated, Master He is trusted by His Majesty, and understands His Majesty's intentions, these days have been helping to do things, so the time to serve His Majesty is a little less." ”

"I see." While speaking, Zhao Junchen's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Now with the birthday of Emperor Deqing approaching, it is the end of the year, the so-called "double happiness is coming", in order to create a celebratory atmosphere, the palace is being renovated everywhere, and the palace is buying aggressively, these things Zhao Junchen knows, he is in charge of the inner treasury, the renovation and purchase of silver, these days like flowing water from the inner treasury expenditure, just over a month of time, the silver in the inner library is less than 200,000 taels, although it is not his own silver, but Zhao Junchen is still distressed.

Emperor Deqing is used to being poor, and now after making a lot of money because of the pancreas, he is more and more extravagant, and the renovation of the palace Zhao Junchen only cares about the silver, and does not know the details, only knows that there are many old palaces and even plans to demolish and rebuild, and the palace is purchased, and the accounts of the inner library are detailed, but Zhao Junchen is very clear about the generosity of Emperor Deqing, simply put, no matter what it is, it is only sold the most expensive, best and most rare, and the number is often calculated in thousands.

Take the charcoal used in winter as an example, in the past, because of the lack of money in the treasury, the palace used more white charcoal, and the smokeless and burn-resistant black charcoal, only the favored beauties above the concubine level can afford to use, and the wood purchased is also based on the ordinary wood used to make white charcoal, but this year's wood purchased in the palace is mostly expensive oak wood, and the production is mostly black charcoal, so that I am afraid that the eunuchs with a little status in the palace can use black charcoal this year.

In addition, according to the gossip obtained by Zhao Junchen, the daily consumption of the concubines and princes in the palace has more than doubled under the will of Emperor Deqing.

With a peep at the leopard, it can be imagined how generous Emperor Deqing is now using silver.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but shake his head secretly for Emperor Deqing's extravagance, it was because of Emperor Deqing's extravagance and great rejoicing in his achievements, whether it was the treasury or the inner treasury, it was difficult to turnover, but now it seems that Emperor Deqing was afraid that at that time Emperor Deqing was still restrained.

In fact, Zhao Junchen only learned next that he had underestimated Emperor Deqing's ability to profligate the loser after all.

……… However, Zhao Junchen talked to this Zhang Xiu, but not to find out the news that he had already known, after a few words of gossip, Zhao Junchen changed his words and suddenly asked: "The body of the Seven Princes, looking at it makes people worry, I heard that he was born to the same mother as His Royal Highness the Prince, and when the Seven Princes were sick today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also the most anxious, presumably their brotherly friendship is very good, right?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "That's natural, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has been weak since he was a child, and when he has an illness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is always the first to take care of him, and the Seventh Prince has also supported His Royal Highness the Prince the most over the years." The Seventh Prince has already reached the age when he leaves Beijing, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about brotherhood, and can't bear the suffering of the Seven Princes leaving Beijing, and repeatedly makes suggestions to His Majesty, so the Seven Princes have been staying in Beijing to recuperate. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu looked at the left and right and saw that there was no one else, and then lowered his voice and said: "As far as our family knows, when His Majesty was canonized as the crown prince, because the princes in front of him either died prematurely or were abolished, the oldest are the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince, and His Majesty does not like the temperament of the current prince very much, and feels that the Seventh Prince is weak and sick, so he is hesitating, or the Seventh Prince took the initiative to give up, and His Royal Highness the Prince was canonized as the prince by His Majesty." ”

Zhao Junchen looked thoughtful in his eyes and asked, "Oh? In this way, there were many people who supported the Seven Princes as the prince at that time? ”

Zhang Xiu was slightly stunned and said: "I haven't heard of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been smart and capable since he was a child, his reputation has become premature, and he has the support of Qingliu, the Seventh Prince is weak and sickly, and his appearance is not as good as His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is younger, so it seems that no one supports him." ”

"I see." Zhao Junchen seemed to be smiling, and asked again: "I don't know how the Seventh Prince is a person?" He and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are brothers, I'm afraid they have similar temperaments, right? ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head again and again, and said: "This is not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is upright, and he is quite strict with us in the palace, our family is afraid of him when he sees him, in comparison, the temperament of the Seven Princes is much more easy-going, although we are said to be lowly, but the Seven Princes are also quite polite to us, sometimes the eunuchs in the palace make mistakes, and the Seven Princes will intercede on their behalf." ”

……… After Zhang Xiu and Zhao Junchen talked a little, they left, and in the side hall, only Zhao Junchen was left to sit there thoughtfully.

These Seven Princes were not famous before, and Zhao Junchen only knew that there was such a person, but when it comes to today's overtures, this Seven Princes Zhu Hejian is afraid that it is not so simple.

At least, he and the crown prince Zhu Heyu seem to have a deep brotherly relationship, and they are frail and sickly, and they also took the initiative to give up the position of prince when the shape is unfavorable, so if he has any careful thoughts and small actions, I am afraid that with the imperial skills and suspicious nature of Emperor Deqing, it is difficult to suspect Zhu Hejian, let alone the crown prince Zhu Heyu.

The Ming Dynasty's princely feudal system, in addition to its purpose is to consolidate the country, did not have the intention of protecting the crown prince, the princes and queens left the capital, subject to all kinds of restrictions, even returned to Kyoto It was more difficult, far away from the central temple, there was no possibility of competing for the throne. However, because of his frail health, the seventh prince delayed leaving Beijing without the title of king, so that internal and external contact is convenient, and it may not be deliberate.

It seems to be all kinds of accidents, but if Zhu Hejian really has the intention of competing with Zhu Heyu for the throne, all the basic conditions have been met.

However, this qiē is just Zhao Junchen's conjecture, and this conjecture is also full of malice and villainous thoughts, whether this is indeed the case, Zhao Junchen is not sure in his heart.

However, Zhao Junchen believes that if Zhu Hejian really has the intention of competing for the throne, his fox tail will be exposed sooner or later, and there will be follow-up actions, just wait and see what happens.

"If this Zhu Hejian really has the idea of competing for the throne, he can secretly support him, but this kind of person is afraid that it is not easy to master, and he is not the most suitable candidate......

Just as Zhao Junchen was thinking about it, that Zhang Xiu came to the side hall in a panic and said, "My lord, Your Majesty is here, go and greet you." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, stood up, and under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, walked towards the main hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After entering the Heart Cultivation Palace, before Zhao Junchen had time to salute, Emperor Deqing had already waved his hand and said, "That's it, no need to salute." ”

Seeing Emperor Deqing's brows furrowed, Zhao Junchen cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, how is the Seventh Prince's body?" ”

Emperor Deqing shook his head and said: "What else, this child is frail and sickly, and he will get sick every few days, this time the prince took the school exam, I thought that Lao Qi was more energetic these days, so he called him over, but I didn't expect ......"

While speaking, Emperor Deqing sighed and said softly: "It's also strange to me, at that time, Concubine Hui had just given birth to the crown prince, and the vitality in her body had not been replenished, so she was pregnant with the seventh child again. ”

While speaking, Emperor Deqing sighed again, but it was rare to show his fatherly heart.

Zhao Junchen was just about to say a few words of relief, but Emperor Deqing didn't seem to want to show such a look in front of Zhao Junchen, so he had already regained his usual majestic appearance, and asked, "That's it, don't talk about it, what are you looking for me today?" ”

Zhao Junchen took out Wen Guanliang's 9.25 million taels of silver from his arms, and handed it to Emperor Deqing from the little eunuch who was waiting on the side, and said at the same time: "Wen Ge Lao he plans to return to his hometown, but he feels that he has not done anything for the king and the country all these years, and he feels ashamed of his majesty, so before he returned to his hometown, he sold his family wealth and property, and presented these silver to his majesty to make up for the guilt in his heart." ”

Emperor Deqing took a thick pile of silver tickets into his hand, and he didn't count them, but just asked, "How much silver?" ”

"Nine million two hundred and fifty thousand taels."

Zhao Junchen replied respectfully, while secretly looking at Emperor Deqing's expression.

But seeing that Emperor Deqing looked natural, as if he didn't know that a clean official couldn't accumulate so much silver even in ten lifetimes, he just said: "Elder Wen Ge is loyal, just let him enjoy his old age in peace." ”

Seeing Emperor Deqing like this, Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "Your Majesty is merciful, after Wen Ge Lao knows about it, he will definitely be grateful to His Majesty." ”

Although he had a smile on his face, Zhao Junchen was thoughtful in his heart.

When Zhao Junchen handed over more than 1.4 million taels of silver obtained from the auction of pancreas to Emperor Deqing, Emperor Deqing was ecstatic, and Zhao Junchen still remembered it clearly.

But now, in the face of 9.25 million taels of silver, Emperor Deqing has a normal complexion, although the former is flowing silver continues every year, and there will be more and more, the latter is only a one-time, but after all, the number is six or seven times that of the former, Emperor Deqing has a flat expression, compared with the two, the conclusion is obvious.

Wen Guanliang's family wealth, Emperor Deqing has not only regarded it as his own, but has been eyeing it for a long time.

Wen Guanliang sighed secretly in his heart, seeing that it was not early, Zhao Junchen planned to retire.

However, Zhao Junchen was just about to retire, but Emperor Deqing suddenly spoke.

"Zhao Aiqing, I still have some things to explain to you."
