According to the rules of the early dynasty, after the noon gate was opened, the officials passed through the noon gate, gathered in front of the Taihe gate, and then about a stick of incense, the officials who were qualified to rank in the court class lined up to enter the Taihe Palace, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Deqing.

On the way into the Taihe Palace, Zhan Shanchang walked beside Zhao Junchen, but he was dissatisfied, and reminded Zhao Junchen softly: "Lord Zhao, with your current momentum, why are you so forbearant to Wen Guanliang and Bao Wenjie?" โ€

It turned out that after Bao Wenjie's provocation, when he was just forming the team in front of Taihemen, when Wen Guanliang passed by Zhao Junchen's side, he also said in a weird way: "Zhao Shilang, do you remember what the old man said to you that day?" If you make the wrong choice, it is difficult to turn back, I hope you will not regret it today. โ€

In the face of Wen Guanliang's faint provocation, Zhao Junchen did not have the slightest business appearance, let alone refute, but arched his hand to Wen Guanliang and said: "Thank you Wen Ge for your advice, the lower officials have been taught." โ€

Zhan Shanchang was dissatisfied with this qiฤ“, and only felt that Zhao Junchen was too forbearant and weak, so he couldn't help but remind him.

On the other side, hearing Zhan Shanchang's reminder, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, with a look of indifference, and said slowly: "The face is not really fierce, let alone whoever says that it is beautiful is who wins, they will be fierce if they are willing to be fierce, and if they are willing to say beautiful things, they will say beautiful things, as long as we win in the end and can get actual benefits, that is." โ€

Although Zhao Junchen said this, Zhan Shanchang disagreed, and said: "But, my lord, what if you have been so forbearant and weak, and you are underestimated by hundreds of officials in the court?" โ€

Zhao Junchen smiled again: "As long as we win in the end, who dares to underestimate us?" On the contrary, they are so arrogant that they can't wait to win or lose when they are undecided, and if they lose in the end, in the eyes of the officials of the DPRK and China, they will be like clowns jumping off the beam. โ€

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen glanced at Zhan Shanchang and said leisurely: "Lord Zhan, you have to remember that doing things in a low-key manner and being a low-key person are completely different things, and you can't be too low-key and forbearant, otherwise you won't get benefits, but it's best to be low-key and forbearing, just to save face, not only to get the favor of hundreds of officials, but also to make people unable to see through the depths, why not?" โ€

While speaking, Zhao Junchen pointed to Zhou Shangjing, the first assistant who stood at the forefront of the court, and added: "You have been following Wen Guanliang in the past, and you are used to Wen Guanliang's set, and now you are not used to this kind of practice, but it is normal, but although Wen Guanliang is named Ge Lao, but in the final analysis, it has not become a big climate, and has been repeatedly played with and applauded, we can't learn from him, but should learn from Lord Shoufu, people have been in the court for many years, and they have not fallen, not without reason." โ€

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zhan Shanchang frowned and thought for a moment, and finally came to his senses.

Indeed, Zhou Shangjing has been just as Zhao Junchen said over the years, the description of "being low-key and doing things in a high-profile manner" is appropriate, Zhan Shanchang originally thought that this was just Zhou Shangjing's human nature, but after Zhao Junchen said this, after thinking about it, he felt that this style may not be the reason for Zhou Shangjing's success.

"I see, Xia Guan understands, thank you for your advice."

Seeing that Zhan Shanchang figured it out, Zhao Junchen nodded, but didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, it was Zhan Shanchang, after this conversation, he became more confident in Zhao Junchen, and felt that he was not following the wrong person, perhaps, Zhao Junchen may not be able to become the second Zhou Shangjing in the future.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

In Zhan Shanchang's view, what Zhao Junchen did was learning from Zhou Shangjing, but in fact, he misunderstood Zhao Junchen.

The object of Zhao Junchen's study was not Zhou Shangjing, but those officials in later generations.

In this era, officials in the DPRK and China have always attached great importance to the word "official authority" and have been accustomed to putting on a show of grandeur and putting on a score everywhere in order to show their status and honor and make people feel awe.

But Zhao Junchen is not a person of this era after all, he comes from later generations, and has been a government civil servant for several years, and he is more accustomed to the style of those officials in later generations.

Those officials of later generations, no matter what they actually are, but on the surface, they are all gentle and cordial, even if they hate each other in their hearts, and the expressions on the surface are still sincere and friendly, making people unable to distinguish whether they are friends or enemies, true or false, but in private, these politicians who seem to get along well do what they do more completely than anyone else, and they never leave room for it.

And "being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner" is also a common motto of later generations of officials.

This kind of practice can be said to be "inconsistent between the inside and the outside", or "hiding a knife in a smile", or "false hypocrisy", but Zhao Junchen is used to this set, and he is used to this set, and thinks that this set of methods is very useful, so he uses it.

Therefore, whether it is for the crown prince Zhu Heyu, or for Wen Guanliang, or Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen's attitude towards them has always been humble and friendly, but only Zhao Junchen himself knows what Zhao Junchen really thinks in his heart.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

After the ministers entered the Taihe Palace, they didn't wait long, and with Zhang De's "Your Majesty arrives, the ministers kneel to greet him", Emperor Deqing has already arrived at the Taihe Hall with a smile on his face.

In a way, Emperor Deqing may be an emperor who is easy to see through, and of course, this may also be his intention.

For example, if he calls Zhao Junchen "Junchen", it means that he is very satisfied with Zhao Junchen, on the contrary, if he calls Zhao Junchen "Aiqing", it means that he is in a bad mood.

For another example, every morning in the court, the time when Emperor Deqing appeared, can also explain his mood, if it is like today, early to the Taihe Palace, it also shows that he is in a good mood.

Although Emperor Deqing is in a good mood, but the crown prince Zhu Heyu is in a bad mood, everyone knows that today is the time when he and Zhao Junchen's bet is decided to win or lose, Emperor Deqing is in such a good mood, doesn't he say that he hopes Zhao Junchen wins, and hopes that Zhu Heyu loses?

Therefore, Zhu Heyu's face was already extremely strict, but when Emperor Deqing came to the Taihe Palace, he became even more and more cold.

Zhong Aiqing got up.

After Emperor Deqing sat down, he raised his left hand and said with a smile.

After the ministers got up, without waiting for the hundred officials to report, Emperor Deqing was already the first to say: "Zhong Aiqing still remember, the gambling contract between the prince Zhu and Yu and Zhao Aiqing, the household servant, a month ago?" I was the notary of the bet, but I remember it clearly. There are still three days to go until January, but in my opinion, the dust has settled. Yesterday, Zhao Aiqing used the pancreas that swept the capital to account for more than 1.4 million taels of silver for the inner treasury, and aside from the artificial materials, it actually increased the income of at least 800,000 taels of silver for the inner treasury! And this is still the first year, according to my estimates, when the use of pancreas is popularized among the people, the inner library can further increase the output, and after three or five years, this kind of profit can increase to about 1.5 million taels! โ€

With Emperor Deqing's words, including the prince's party, the whole dynasty sounded exclamations in unison.

Although they knew that in yesterday's pancreatic auction, there must be a lot of silver in the inner treasury, but they didn't expect that there would be so much!

After exclaiming, many people turned their eyes to Zhao Junchen, only thinking it was incredible.

And Zhao Junchen, who was watched by hundreds of officials, was low-brow and pleasing to the eyes at this time, with a low-key and humble face, Emperor Deqing saw it in his eyes, quite satisfied, and continued: "I have decreed a few days ago that in the future, the profits obtained by the inner treasury with pancreas will subsidize the treasury 200,000 taels every year, so that the gambling contract has been won by Zhao Aiqing, since this is the case, according to the gambling contract......

Emperor Deqing was only halfway through his words, but the crown prince Zhu Heyu suddenly came out of the ranks, with a stern expression of determination, and said in a loud voice: "Father, the son wants to impeach Zhao Junchen, the head of the household department, and there are three crimes, and the crime should be dead!" โ€
