A few days ago, after hearing that Zhao Shancai suddenly suffered from a serious stomach problem, Zhao Junchen had doubts in his heart and has been collecting relevant intelligence during this time.??
Now, coupled with Zhang Decheng's evidence, Zhao Junchen was certain that Zhao Shancai's stomach trouble was most likely caused by him taking diamond powder.
Moreover, Zhao Junchen could also guess that Zhao Shan took the diamond powder, and it was definitely the seventh prince Zhu Hejian who was behind it.
When Zhao Junchen passed through Xuzhou on his southern tour, he went out to play incognito. During this period, he had a conflict with the local "Rong Chuan Company" in Xuzhou. Wu Youzhen, the owner of "Rong Chuan Company", was naturally shocked when he learned about Zhao Junchen's identity.
Terrified, he quickly went to Zhao Junchen to apologize and gave him a heavy gift as an apology.
This great gift is two rough diamonds.
Wu Youzhen took the diamond as an apology gift because it was not produced in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the brilliant brilliance of the diamond made it a valuable treasure. However, after Zhao Junchen saw these two diamonds, he was
I immediately thought of another use of diamond, which is to poison people!
Because diamond has hydrophobic and lipophilic properties, after humans ingest diamond powder, the diamond powder will stick to the stomach wall. After long-term friction, it will cause gastrointestinal ulcers. If not treated in time, people will die from the stomach.
Bleeding is a chronic poison that is difficult to guard against. With the level and knowledge of doctors in the Ming Dynasty, even an autopsy after the event would not be able to detect traces of poisoning!
Of course, although diamond can be regarded as a kind of strange poison, Zhao Junchen is not prepared to use it personally for many things. Although the effect is very fast, Zhao Junchen does not intend to do it himself, that is, he does not have the ruthlessness to use any means.
Unwilling to bear the consequences and risks, Zhao Junchen went around in a circle and handed the diamond to the seventh prince Zhu Hejian through the hands of Dongchang.
Zhu Hejian has a cold and decisive personality, and does things by unscrupulous means. It would be best if Zhu Hejian's hands were used to handle certain things.
The most important thing is that if Zhu Hejian really uses diamond powder to harm people, then his control will fall into Zhao Junchen's hands, and he will have no choice but to be slaughtered by Zhao Junchen!
However, after Zhao Junchen secretly gave the diamond to Zhu Hejian, he originally thought that Zhu Hejian would use it to murder the prince Zhu Heyu, or some cadres of the "Princeling Party", but he did not expect that the target Zhu Hejian found first was Zhao Shancai!
Isn't Zhao Shancai's current condition a symptom of ingesting diamond powder?
But this is a matter of course. The risk of poisoning Prince Zhu Hejian is too great. Even Zhu Hejian, who has always been careless, will think twice before taking action on this matter.
Not to mention Prince Zhu Hejian, even if the officials of the "Princeling Party" suddenly died under mysterious circumstances, it would attract the attention of the court.
On the contrary, it is Zhao Shancai who is now the advisor and right-hand man of Prince Zhu Heyu. The performance rebound of the "Prince Party" during this period can almost be said to be the result of Zhao Shancai! However, Zhao Shancai himself is just a person who has been deprived of his fame.
No one cares about the scholar even if he dies, but once Zhao Shancai dies, Prince Zhu Heyu will return to the previous situation of being plotted by others, and his downfall will be a matter of time. From this aspect, Zhu Hejian set out to murder
Zhao Shancai is the best choice.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, Zhao Junchen had received intelligence and knew that someone was planning to murder Zhao Shancai.
However, the prince Zhu Heyu believed deeply in his seventh brother Zhu Hejian and had no idea that Zhu Hejian had been coveting his throne. Therefore, the prince's east palace was basically undefended for Zhu Hejian. Under such circumstances, Zhu Hejian wanted to
It would be too easy to do something secretly and mix diamond powder into Zhao Shancai's food.

However, although Zhao Junchen guessed the whole story, after thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Junchen decided not to interfere.
Although Zhao Junchen has always admired Zhao Shancai, Zhao Shancai's position is different from his. Not only is there no benefit to saving Zhao Shancai, he will have to face all kinds of troubles brought by Zhao Shancai in the future, and it will also destroy Zhao Junchen's plan against the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.
It’s really not worth the gain.
This is probably the ruthlessness of politics. Politicians' decisions are often contrary to personal feelings, and everything is only related to interests.
"At the beginning, I tried my best to dissuade Zhao Shancai, but he accepted his death and was not willing to abandon the crown prince Zhu Heyu no matter what, let alone surrender to me... The path of a person is chosen by himself. Since he has already chosen
The road ahead, then you have to bear the consequences yourself... Zhao Shancai, it is really a pity..."
While he was thinking deeply, a complicated look flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes, which seemed to be pity and yet also cruelty.
In fact, at this time, Zhao Junchen not only did not intend to save Zhao Shancai, but actually planned to push Zhao Shancai further, causing Zhao Shancai to completely fall into the abyss of death.
Since Zhao Shancai's death has been determined, it is better to die as soon as possible. In this way, Zhao Shancai can not only reduce some pain, but Zhao Junchen can also reduce some troubles.
After making the decision, Zhao Junchen sighed lightly, then raised his head and asked Zhang Decheng: "Doctor Zhang still have to go to the East Palace to diagnose and treat Zhao Shancai tomorrow?"
Zhang Decheng nodded and said: "We can't confirm the condition, and Zhao Shancai's condition is very serious. Naturally, I have to go again."
Zhao Junchen said slowly in a soft voice: "A few days ago, the mansion collected some Qinyuan golden grain corn. This kind of corn is very rare. Only a few hundred kilograms can be harvested every year. Most of it will be used as tribute.
I bought it from the palace... I heard that corn is the best for nourishing the stomach. Since Zhao Shancai has a stomach disease, when the miracle doctor Zhang goes to the East Palace tomorrow, he will also send these corns over and let Zhao Shancai eat some every day. Maybe there is some benefit, and it can be regarded as mine.
A piece of heart.”
Zhao Junchen's words sounded very nice, but his intentions were extremely sinister.
Corn, also known as millet in later generations, although it is true that it has the effect of nourishing the stomach, but it also needs to be eaten at a certain time. Corn particles are small and difficult to digest. After eating, it will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and increase gastrointestinal peristalsis... and Zhao Shancai is now among the top of the stomach wall.
There is already a large amount of diamond powder stuck to it. If Zhao Shancai's gastrointestinal motility is increased further, Zhao Shancai's death will be greatly advanced.
However, although Zhang Decheng was the most outstanding miracle doctor of this era, he was limited by the perspective of the times and could not discover Zhao Junchen's sinister intentions. He thought that Zhao Junchen was sincerely thinking about Zhao Shancai, so he readily agreed to Zhao Junchen's request.
.
Then, Zhao Junchen pretended to be concerned and reminded Zhang Decheng a few words. For example, he asked Zhang Decheng to remind Zhao Shancai not to eat oily meals during this period. After taking diamond powder, the most effective way is to take a large amount of oil and use the lubrication of the oil to remove the diamond powder.
The powder rushed out of the stomach and intestines. Zhao Junchen's reminder was still uneasy and well-meaning.
When Zhang Decheng left the study, Zhao Junchen looked at Zhang Decheng's back, sighed softly again, and murmured to himself: "Since it is irrevocable, let me see you off as a farewell... everyone can feel a lot more relaxed!"
Zhao Shancai, don’t blame me, I told you a long time ago that the path you choose leads to an abyss, but you just don’t listen. In this case, you can only bear the consequences yourself!”
