After arriving at the living room of Cui Mansion, Prince Zhu Heyu naturally sat in the center, Cui Mian accompanied him at the guest seat next to him, and Zhao Junchen consciously sat far away.
In normal times, when Prince Zhu and Yu saw Cui Mian, a senior Qingliu man, they would have had a few animated conversations, exchanging their views on the situation in the temple and expressing their respective dislikes for the corrupt officials and traitors in the court. By the way, I would like to express my mutual admiration between the two...
However, Zhao Junchen, the big candle, is now sitting shamelessly next to him, looking calm and smiling, and constantly taking the initiative to talk to the two of them, as if he is also a member of Qingliu, so Prince Zhu Heyu also He didn't care to talk with Cui Mian in detail, he just wanted to end Zhang Decheng's matter as soon as possible and stay away from this annoying guy Zhao Junchen as soon as possible.
"Not only the juniors, but also His Royal Highness admire your character, Mr. Cui. His Royal Highness has expressed to the juniors many times that when Mr. Cui was still in the cabinet, the atmosphere of the court was much better than it is now. , this is all due to Mr. Cui’s leading role..."
At this time, Zhao Junchen smiled calmly, talked eloquently, and his expression was very sincere. He constantly took the initiative to create topics, but unfortunately the content was all nonsense.
At least, even if Prince Zhu Heyu really admired Cui Mian's character, he would never say this to Zhao Junchen. Zhao Junchen said it in such a serious manner, as if Zhao Junchen and Prince Zhu Heyu were talking about everything. They were talking like close friends, which made Prince Zhu Heyu feel as if he had eaten a fly.
However, Zhao Junchen's words at this time were all about praising Cui Mian, but it was also difficult for Prince Zhu Heyu to refute.
In the end, Prince Zhu Heyu chose to ignore Zhao Junchen and Zhao Junchen's endless talk, and said directly to Cui Mian: "Senior Cui, I came to visit your mansion this time. In addition to paying a visit, I mainly came to see the miracle doctor. Zhang Decheng, I heard that he is in your residence now, and I want to meet him."
After hearing what Prince Zhu Heyu said, Cui Mian was slightly startled. He didn't know why Prince Zhu Heyu came to him specifically to look for Zhang Decheng.
However, Cui Mian still quickly replied: "His Royal Highness, you are here at an unlucky time. Divine Doctor Zhang has just left, but the time is short. Divine Doctor Zhang should not have gone far yet. How about I send someone to chase him back?"
Zhu Heyu glanced at Zhao Junchen first, then pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This matter cannot be delayed forever, it is better to see Doctor Zhang as soon as possible. In this case, please ask Mr. Cui to send someone to chase Doctor Zhang." When I come back, I want to invite him to live in the East Palace this time, so I hope Mr. Cui's people will treat him more politely."
After hearing Prince Zhu Heyu's explanation, Cui Mian did not dare to neglect and quickly called the servants in the mansion to chase Zhang Decheng.
Next, Prince Zhu Heyu no longer gave Zhao Junchen any chance to express himself. He took the initiative to talk to Cui Mian and commented on the current changes in the temple. During this period, he inevitably criticized the corrupt officials and treacherous ministers in the court, and Zhu Heyu did not have any scruples about it. Zhao Junchen is sitting aside now. He clearly mentioned Zhao Junchen's name many times during his criticism, as if he wanted to deliberately embarrass Zhao Junchen.
Seeing Prince Zhu Heyu's angry behavior, Zhao Junchen's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of gain in his eyes.
Since coming to Cui Mansion, Zhao Junchen has been deliberately "teasing" Zhu Heyu. This is not because Zhao Junchen is bored, but because Zhao Junchen wants to arouse Zhu Heyu's impetuous mood. In this way, Zhu Heyu only had Zhao Junchen in his eyes, and he only wanted to embarrass Zhao Junchen, so he naturally ignored many issues that he should not have ignored in the first place.
For example, because of Cui Qianxue, Cui Mian's attitude towards Zhao Junchen has quietly changed. Although he is not eager, he is not as disgusted and deliberately alienated as before. Under normal circumstances, even if Prince Zhu Heyu is slow, He must also be aware of these changes, which are not conducive to Zhao Junchen's future plans, so Zhao Junchen changed his style and deliberately "teased" Zhu Heyu, making Zhu Heyu become restless and naturally ignored many details. .
Now seeing Zhu Heyu's performance, Zhao Junchen knew that his plan was successful.
On the other side, Cui Mian had been in the officialdom for a long time, but was more experienced than Prince Zhu Heyu. After looking at Zhao Junchen from the corner of his eye, he seemed to realize something, and his heart moved faintly.
Just when the three of them were thinking about each other, Cui's servants finally caught up with Zhang Decheng and brought him back.
After Zhang Decheng returned to Cui Mansion, his expression was a little confused. He didn't know why Prince Zhu Heyu came to Cui Mansion to see him.
However, Zhang Decheng was a man who had seen the world after all. He had met Prince Zhu Heyu many times when he was treating the seventh prince's body. Therefore, he did not panic after seeing Zhu Heyu this time. He just saluted and greeted him calmly.
On the other side, Crown Prince Zhu Heyu was extremely polite towards Zhang Decheng, the world-famous leader of Xinglin. Without waiting for Zhang Decheng to salute, he stepped forward and held Zhang Decheng's arm, showing the virtuous appearance of a courteous corporal.
"Doctor Zhang, there is no need to be polite. You have been doing your best for my seventh brother's illness during this period of time. Under the treatment of your holy hands, my seventh brother's health has improved greatly. This is your kindness to my royal family, Divine Doctor Zhang. Speaking of which, I should be the one to salute you and say thank you."
Prince Zhu Heyu had a gentle tone and a sincere expression. Even Zhang Decheng, who was used to the storm, was flattered and humble for a while.
Then, Prince Zhu Heyu deliberately praised Zhang Decheng's medical skills and ethics. It could be seen that he had done his homework carefully before, and actually listed Zhang Decheng's proud deeds one by one, which annoyed Zhang Decheng even more. I just felt that Prince Zhu Heyu deserved to be a virtuous man with a reputation spread all over the world. He not only respected himself, but also understood his ambitions very well.
Therefore, adhering to the ethos of reciprocity, Zhang Decheng also paid a few compliments to the prince Zhu Heyu, believing that the prince would definitely become a sage king in the future.
For a time, the atmosphere between Prince Zhu Heyu and Zhang Decheng was harmonious, and the distance between them became much closer.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Prince Zhu Heyu finally showed his intention to recruit, saying: "To be honest, Doctor Zhang, I came to see you this time because I want to take you to live in the East Palace. I believe that after arriving in the East Palace, , your medical skills will have more room to display, and will be more in line with your original intention of benefiting the world. I wonder what Zhang Shen’s medical intention is?”
When Prince Zhu Heyu thought about it, it should be a certainty that he would invite Zhang Decheng to the East Palace this time.
Firstly, Zhao Junchen had no chance to get in the way; secondly, he and Zhang Decheng had initially established a friendship; thirdly, Zhang Decheng’s temperament was well known to the world. He hated the rich and loved the poor, and would often ask for sky-high prices when treating corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen. When he was treating the common people, he often received nothing in return, and often paid for the medicine. Naturally, he was not the same person as Zhao Junchen. On the contrary, he was closer to the character of Prince Zhu Heyu.
Therefore, Prince Zhu Heyu firmly believed that Zhang Decheng's temporary stay in Zhao Mansion was just a temporary measure. As long as he invited him, Zhang Decheng would definitely agree to it outright.
However, what happened next was completely beyond the expectations of Prince Zhu Heyu, and even made him feel embarrassed.
