While various political parties are working hard to plan for their own interests, as the most hidden conspirator and careerist, the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian is naturally not idle either.?
While Prince Zhu Heyu was talking with Zhao Shancai, the miracle doctor Zhang Decheng came to the residence of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian and once again diagnosed Zhu Hejian's body.
Speaking of which, it has been nearly two months since Zhao Junchen arranged for Zhang Decheng to diagnose and treat the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.
In the past two months, Zhang Decheng's diagnosis and treatment of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian has been fruitful. So far, Zhu Hejian's body, which has always been ill, has improved greatly. Especially in the past month, Zhu Hejian's body has become healthier and healthier.
I have never had any symptoms again.
It is said that after Emperor Deqing heard about this incident, he once praised Zhang Decheng's medical skills and rewarded Zhao Junchen and Zhang Decheng with many things.
At this time, in the living room of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Zhang Decheng was reaching out to feel the pulse of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian.
After a moment, Zhang Decheng nodded lightly, and then asked the seventh prince: "His Highness's pulse has become more stable and strong, but I don't know what his physical condition has been like in the past few days? Is there still any discomfort?"
The Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian shook his head, with a smile on his face: "Speaking of which, since I can remember, my physical condition has never been as good as it is now! Since Dr. Zhang diagnosed me, my physical condition has been getting worse day by day.
Things have improved, especially in recent days. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I feel refreshed. I used to feel physically weak, as if there was a heavy burden on my body, and I would fall ill if I was just a little tired. But in the past few days, I have been full of energy.
, you rarely feel tired, and your appetite increases..."
Having said this, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian showed just the right amount of gratitude on his face, nodded to Zhang Decheng and said, "All of this is due to Dr. Zhang. If it weren't for Dr. Zhang's superb medical skills, I would have to be a doctor for the rest of my life."
He’s a sick man.”
Zhang Decheng shook his head and said humbly: "Your Highness is serious. I'm just doing my best. The diagnosis, treatment and prescription of medicine during this period are actually just to strengthen His Highness's physical strength. Now that His Highness's physical condition has improved, it will only dissipate on its own after the physical strength increases."
I really don’t dare to take credit for my illness.”
Zhu Hejian shook his head and said: "Doctor Zhang is too modest. Without Dr. Zhang's careful care, how could my body's vitality be enhanced? It's not too much to say that Dr. Zhang's kindness to me is like reincarnation. I will be grateful no matter what.
.”
After speaking, Zhu Hejian raised his hand and saw a servant bringing a plate of gold and silver to Zhang Decheng. The amount was about three hundred taels.
Zhu Hejian continued: "Unfortunately, I am now just a powerless and idle prince. I have not yet left the capital to become a king. Apart from a few gold and silver common things, I have no ability to repay the kindness of Doctor Zhang. But my current
My physical condition is getting better, and I will have a king and a fief sooner or later. At that time, Doctor Zhang, you will always be my honored guest. No matter what requirements you have, Doctor Zhang, I will try my best to satisfy... But now, I can only get
I would like to thank Doctor Zhang for some gold and silver common things, and I hope Doctor Zhang will not dislike them."
When speaking, Zhu Hejian's expression was sincere and his attitude was sincere, which made people feel good about him.
In fact, after this period of contact, although Zhang Decheng has always felt that Zhu Hejian's condition is strange, he also has a very good sense of Zhu Hejian. He thinks that although Zhu Hejian is a prince, he has no airs, has a humble attitude, is sincere, and often acts for Zhu Hejian.
From other people's perspective, this point is stronger than that of Prince Zhu Heyu.
At this time, seeing the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian gifting him a plate of gold and silver, Zhang Decheng pondered for a moment, but did not refuse. He just nodded and said: "In that case, I feel ashamed to accept it."
Zhu Hejian smiled and said: "I know that Doctor Zhang is definitely not a pedantic person who is pretentious. This plate of gold and silver given to Doctor Zhang will definitely benefit countless patients in the world. It can be regarded as me accumulating virtue through the hands of Doctor Zhang."
"
Hearing what Zhu Hejian said, even a person with a weird temper like Zhang Decheng couldn't help but feel happy, and his sense of Zhu Hejian became even better.
At this moment, Zhu Hejian's eunuch Jia Lun quickly came to the living room and reported to Zhu Hejian: "Your Highness, the Duke of Jing is here to visit."
Upon hearing the report, Zhu Hejian looked surprised and said, "Oh? My father-in-law is here? Please invite him in quickly!"
Judging from Zhu Hejian's expression at this time, it was like an ordinary son-in-law hearing about the visit of his father-in-law. The joy and surprise were just right. But who could have guessed that Zhu Hejian and Chen You, the Duke of Jing, actually had a subordinate relationship?
On the other side, after hearing that the Duke of Jing Chen You was visiting, Zhang Decheng also stood up knowingly and said goodbye to the seventh prince Zhu Hejian: "Since it is the Duke of Jing who is visiting, I will take my leave now and do not dare to disturb His Highness anymore."
In this regard, Zhu Hejian did not continue to persuade him to stay, but stood up to see him off and said: "I hope that after Dr. Zhang returns to the Zhao Mansion, he will say hello to Mr. Zhao on my behalf. Speaking of which, if Mr. Zhao hadn't invited you to diagnose and treat me, I would have
My health will not be as good as it is now, I really owe Mr. Zhao a favor."
Zhang Decheng nodded and agreed: "I will definitely convey His Highness's greetings to Mr. Zhao. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhao has always been very concerned about His Highness's condition. Every time I treat His Highness, Mr. Zhao will inquire in detail."
"Oh? Really? Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhao even more for your concern."
As he spoke, Zhu Hejian smiled sincerely, but his eyes couldn't help but waver.

After Zhang Decheng left, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian came to the study room of the mansion.
In the study, Chen You, Duke of Jing State, has been waiting for him for a long time.
After nodding to Chen You, the seventh prince Zhu Hejian sat behind the desk, his expression returned to his usual cold expression, and he said slowly: "I have heard about what happened in court this morning. It's up to you, Lord Jing, to do this."
She was very beautiful and easily overthrew Su Changzhen. In this way, Su Xiuning became a prisoner's family member, and Zhao Junchen would not choose her as his wife. In addition, Cui Qianxue has been kicked out of the house by Cui Mian, and Chen Zhirong's
The opportunity will become greater... If Zhao Junchen marries Chen Zhirong as his official wife, then after I officially come to the forefront in the future, I will have the support of allies in the temple, and I will be able to gain a firm foothold."
Hearing Zhu Hejian's praise, Chen You quickly replied: "The Seventh Prince has over-praised me. If the Seventh Prince hadn't prepared a large amount of detailed evidence in advance and seized the right opportunity, a deep-rooted feudal leader like Su Changzhen would have
Officer, how can it be so easy to collapse? Everything is the result of the Seventh Prince's clever methods. I just followed the Seventh Prince's instructions."
The Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian smiled lightly, and did not deny Chen You's statement, but continued: "However, the biggest gain from today's court meeting is not the downfall of Su Changzhen, but the fact that the prince did something stupid again.
He disobeyed his father in public and made him very angry. He ordered him to shut up for ten days and not participate in court meetings within these ten days... Haha, all Zhao Shancai's hard work during this period was wasted by the prince!
"
Chen You still kept a smile on his face and said: "Although Zhao Shancai has the false reputation of being a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, how can he match the methods of the Seventh Prince? Even if he can temporarily reverse the decline of the 'Princeling Party', it will not last long!
Sooner or later, the position of the Crown Prince will belong to His Highness the Seventh Prince."
Zhu Hejian shook his head, with a rather cautious expression, and said slowly: "Zhao Shancai is not inferior to me in terms of vision and means. He has learned the true inheritance of Master He Ming, but he is in the light and I am in the dark.
I act without too many scruples, but he has the prince to drag him down, so he is one step behind. But we must not underestimate him. As long as he still assists the prince, the prince will not fall easily... Fortunately
, he won’t be able to assist the prince for much longer, otherwise it will really be a big trouble.”
Hearing Zhu Hejian's words, and thinking that Zhao Shancai's physical condition had suddenly taken a turn for the worse in recent times, and that he had suffered from severe stomach problems for no apparent reason, Chen You, the Duke of Jing, vaguely guessed something, but felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to continue talking.
The seventh prince Zhu Hejian did not pay attention to the change in Chen You's expression, and just continued: "This time the prince was punished by his father to think about his mistakes in isolation. He could not even participate in the court meeting, nor could he meet the saints for questions and answers at any time, but it was a great opportunity... If
If everything goes well, the crown prince position will soon fall into my hands."
As he spoke, a captivating light flashed in the eyes of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian. At this moment, Zhu Hejian, who had been holding back for many years, finally made up his mind and decided to officially go to the front of the curtain.
Therefore, even if the city is as deep as Zhu Hejian, there are some expression changes at this moment.
In fact, Zhu Hejian's "condition is getting better and better" during this period of time, which is also the pavement for him to move from behind the scenes to the front desk and prepare to seize the position of crown prince!
After all, if he still looks sick and sick, no one will support him as the new crown prince. Even Emperor Deqing will not be willing to hand over the Ming Dynasty to a sick man.
On the other side, after hearing Zhu Hejian's statement, Chen You was shocked at first, and then looked excited and excited, and asked: "Your Highness, are you... finally planning to take action against Zhu Heyu?"
Zhu Hejian nodded slowly, his expression seemed calm, but his eyes couldn't help but twinkle: "After what happened in this morning's court, I estimate that my father's patience with the prince has reached the limit. He is just one step away from doing it."
Make up your mind to depose him!... Therefore, the time is ripe."
Having said this, Zhu Hejian suddenly smiled and said: "My father's temperament has always been a bit fond of success. People with this kind of temperament are often very concerned about the evaluation of history books. After seeing through this, I also found the whole
The best way to defeat the prince...but I have always been unable to bear it because the time has not come yet!"
After making the formal decision, Zhu Hejian seemed calm, but his mood was inevitably a little agitated, so he, who had always been concise and concise, could not help but reveal his true feelings that he had hidden for many years.
I saw Zhu Hejian sighing softly: "The position of the prince and prince, half king and half minister, both king and minister, is the most embarrassing. However, my father has a sensitive and suspicious temperament, so this position is even more difficult to sit in! In fact,
The prince's jealous and stubborn temper was completely cultivated by his father. Because his father was too suspicious and he knew how ruthless the royal family has been since ancient times. Even the relationship between father and son would be full of overt and covert struggles, so he
I never taught the prince any strategic skills, I only taught some high-sounding principles, but I didn’t expect that the prince would become what he is now..."
At this point, Zhu Hejian sighed again: "It is precisely because of this that I have always been patient in the past and did not really compete for the position of prince. I just kept shaking my father's trust in the prince, and then waited until my father was completely disappointed with the prince.
When the time comes, I will step forward to take over this position. At that time, with the previous crown prince as a comparison, I will be much more relaxed."
After hearing Zhu Hejian's true thoughts, Chen You was full of admiration and said: "Your Highness is wise and has a keen eye for fire. No one in the world can match him!"
After saying that, Chen You raised his head again and asked: "I don't know, Your Highness, how do you plan to fight for the position of crown prince?"
Zhu Hejian smiled softly, his smile seemed gentle, but there was a hint of coldness, and said: "As I said just now, my father is very happy with his achievements, and he cares very much about the evaluation of future history books. As long as he makes good use of this, it is not enough to overthrow the prince.
What a difficult thing!"
As he spoke, Zhu Hejian turned to the eunuch Jia Lun and said, "Go and make arrangements. Now is the time to let your father know about the rumor."
Jia Lun's expression was silent, he just nodded without saying anything, and quickly left the study to do some work.
Seeing the riddle between the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian and Jia Lun, Chen You, the Duke of Jing, was a little confused for a while. He didn't know how the Seventh Prince planned to bring down the Crown Prince, and what the "rumors" he mentioned just now were.
However, seeing that the seventh prince Zhu Hejian did not explain, Chen You knew it and did not ask further questions. He just sat aside with some embarrassment. He found out that he was Zhu Hejian's father-in-law, but he couldn't understand Zhu Hejian's thoughts anymore.
Seeing the change in Chen You's expression, Zhu Hejian smiled slightly, picked up a memorial from the desk and handed it to Chen You, saying: "After you return home, you will make a copy of this memorial and submit it to your father."
Chen You was stunned for a moment, then he took the memorial and read it carefully. Then his face was full of shock and he exclaimed: "Feng Wang and leave the capital?!"
Zhu Hejian still looked calm and nodded: "Yes, you have to submit a memorial to my father, requesting him to make me a king, grant me a fief, and let me leave the capital! You are my father-in-law, and you are qualified to express yourself in this regard.
Opinion! Compared to a powerless prince, you would naturally prefer that your husband-in-law is a wealthy prince. If you come forward to present this memorial, your father will not be suspicious... Now my health is getting worse.
After recovery, it is natural to seal the king and leave the capital. As an adult prince, he cannot stay in the capital forever. This is not in line with the rules of the court."
"But far away from the center of the capital, how will you compete for the position of crown prince, Your Highness?"
Hearing Chen You's question, Zhu Hejian smiled again and said slowly: "Don't worry, this memorial is just a test of my father! If he is really completely disappointed with the prince, then he will not let me go."
Beijing! Of course, if my father really agrees to your memorial, then my condition can relapse at any time..."
