Chapter 470. Pattern changes (II).

……

……

Regarding the impeachment of Su Changzhen by the imperial historians, Zhao Junchen smelled the smell of conspiracy, and his first reaction was to think of Chen Zhirong, the daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, and thought that this woman was very likely to be the person behind the scenes.

Speaking of which, before the southern tour, there was no friendship and connection between Zhao Junchen and Su Changchen, and Su Changchen was just an ordinary feudal official for Zhao Junchen.

However, before the southern tour, perhaps for the purpose of enveloping, Emperor Deqing saw that Zhao Junchen had never been married when he reached his age, so he took the initiative to be a matchmaker and introduced the three daughters to Zhao Junchen, Cui Qianxue, the granddaughter of the former cabinet elder Cui Mian, Su Xiuning, the daughter of Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, and Chen Zhirong, the daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo.

Emperor Deqing took the initiative to be a matchmaker, which can be described as condescending and giving Zhao Junchen a great honor, but because of this, out of respect for Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen lost the room for independent choice, and could only choose one of the three daughters to marry as his wife - otherwise, if Zhao Junchen chose other women to become his wife, it would be a refutation of Emperor Deqing's face, which would be disrespectful, and it would attract the anger of Emperor Deqing.

Among the three daughters, Zhao Junchen has always been noncommittal about the choice of his future wife, and has not shown any inclination.

This is because Zhao Junchen does not have any special feelings for these three women, although the three of them are all famous ladies, talented and beautiful, and have their own advantages - Cui Qianxue is innocent and willful, but she and Zhao Junchen are not all the way, and their values are completely different; Su Xiuning is a talented woman, who can be described as dignified and virtuous. It's a pity that Zhao Junchen didn't fall in love with her; Chen Zhirong has scheming, means, and even some undeserved ambitions for women, and Zhao Junchen can be said to be similar. But Zhao Junchen didn't trust her at all.

Of course, the main reason. or interests - the background of these three women has its own advantages and disadvantages for Zhao Junchen, but it also makes it difficult for Zhao Junchen to choose for a while - Cui Qianxue's grandfather Cui Mian is the leader of the clear stream, if Zhao Junchen marries Cui Qianxue, he may be able to improve his reputation, but in addition, it cannot bring Zhao Junchen any substantial help; And Su Xiuning's father, Su Changjian, is a feudal official of the imperial court, which can be described as a powerful and powerful official, but he is also a notorious corrupt official. If Zhao Junchen marries Su Xiuning, although he can enhance his network and power, he may be implicated by Su Changzhen in the future; As for Chen Zhirong, she is the youngest daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, and the eldest daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, is the fiancée of Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince, if Zhao Junchen marries Chen Zhirong, the advantage is that he can deepen his connection with the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, and even take the opportunity to spy on Zhu Hejian's details, but the disadvantage is that Zhao Junchen will be tied to Zhu Hejian from now on, and his own power is easy to be infiltrated by Zhu Hejian.

So. Under the unpredictable pros and cons, Zhao Junchen has been dragging on Emperor Deqing's matchmaking and has not made a decision for a long time.

Meanwhile. These three women also have different feelings about Zhao Junchen, Cui Qianxue's feelings about Zhao Junchen are probably just curiosity, while Su Xiuning was forced to approach Zhao Junchen under the pressure of her father Su Changchen. But only Chen Zhirong, a woman with a different heart, out of various considerations. actually hoped that he could marry Zhao Junchen, and continued to work hard for this.

In fact. Chan is a doer and was quick to act.

Chen Zhirong knows very well that when Zhao Junchen chooses a wife, he mainly considers the interests factor, so she also starts from this aspect, trying to weaken the advantages of Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning, according to Chen Zhirong's thoughts, as long as Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning cannot bring Zhao Junchen clear benefits, then Zhao Junchen will not marry them, and at that time, Chen Zhirong will become the only candidate for Zhao Junchen's wife, and she can marry Zhao Junchen as a matter of course and become the mistress of Zhao's mansion - from a certain aspect, Zhao Junchen is indeed a person who puts interests first, so Chen Zhirong's idea is not wrong.

So, before the start of the southern tour, Chen Zhirong first used rumors to frame Cui Qianxue, so that Cui Qianxue's reputation was discredited, and finally the former cabinet old Cui Mian was forced by public opinion pressure, so he had to drive Cui Qianxue and Cui Qianxue's father Cui Yu out of the Cui family's house, cutting off the Cui family's contact with them, so that even if Zhao Junchen married Cui Qianxue, it was impossible to improve his reputation, so the possibility of Zhao Junchen marrying Cui Qianxue was extremely small.

It is precisely because of this previous conviction that after Zhao Junchen saw that someone deliberately collected evidence and secretly encouraged the imperial historians to impeach Su Changyi, he immediately thought of Chen Zhirong, and subconsciously thought that Chen Zhirong was the person behind the scenes.

This approach is in line with Chen Zhirong's interests and Chen Zhirong's thinking - as long as Su Changyi falls, then even if Zhao Junchen marries Su Xiuning, he will not be able to enhance his own power, but will be affected by Su Changyong, so with Zhao Junchen's interests first, how can he marry Su Xiuning?

At that time, out of various pros and cons, Zhao Junchen was left with the choice of marrying Chen Zhirong - this was probably Chen Zhirong's wishful thinking.

******

"No wonder, when the Southern Patrol Fleet arrived in Nanzhili, Chen Zhirong was unusual, no longer entangled with me, at that time I thought she understood that I needed to deal with too many things during that time, so she didn't bother me, but if the matter of the impeachment of Su Changzhen by the imperial historians was really promoted by her behind the scenes, then she was probably not idle during that time, but was collecting evidence of Su Changzhen's crimes everywhere, maybe she was busier than me, so naturally she didn't have time to look for me......"

Between dark thoughts, Zhao Junchen's brows furrowed slightly.

To be honest, Zhao Junchen can understand Chen Zhirong's various small actions, but he doesn't like it.

Zhao Junchen is also a person who does not compromise means, but after all, there is still some bottom line, and he will always try to avoid implicating the innocent when doing things, but Chen Zhirong is different, in order to achieve the goal, she has ruined Cui Qianxue's family before, and now she still wants to destroy Su Xiuning's family - although Su Changning is indeed a corrupt official, and he deserves to be destroyed, but Su Xiuning is always innocent.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

Zhao Junchen knows very well that with Chen Zhirong's scheming methods, as long as she wants to destroy Su Changrong's father and daughter, then today's impeachment of Yushi is just the beginning, and there will inevitably be other actions in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should take a shot at Su Changyi.

The relationship between Su Changzhen and Zhao Junchen is just average, if it is an ordinary time, Zhao Junchen will not deliberately help him, but now it is related to the choice of Zhao Junchen's future wife, but Zhao Junchen is not willing to let Chen Zhirong be too wishy-washy.

******

Nowadays, Zhao Junchen's prestige in the "Zhao Party" is deepening, when Zhao Junchen left the Imperial Palace, although there are Zuo Lanshan, Tong Huan, Qin Huaiyuan and other "Zhao Party" officials with him, but when they saw Zhao Junchen frowning and thinking, they didn't dare to speak out at all, for fear of disturbing Zhao Junchen's thoughts, but they followed quietly step by step.

And at this time, behind Zhao Junchen, someone suddenly raised his voice to call, interrupting the quiet atmosphere around Zhao Junchen.

"Lord Zhao, please stay!"

After hearing the call, Zhao Junchen turned around to look, but found that Huo Zhengyuan and Chen Dongxiang were leading several "Yellow Party" officials to walk towards him quickly.

Seeing Huo Zhengyuan so blatantly contacting him, he was not worried that it would attract suspicion, and Zhao Junchen knew that his plan to annex the "Yellow Party" was about to start the next stage.

Sure enough, after coming to Zhao Junchen, Huo Zhengyuan said: "Lord Zhao, Xia Guan and some close colleagues in the court will have a banquet in the Fushou Pavilion in the south of the city tonight, those colleagues have always admired Lord Zhao and hope to deepen their friendship with Lord Zhao, so they entrusted Xia Guan to invite Lord Zhao to the banquet together, but I don't know if Lord Zhao is willing to appreciate his face?" ”

Obviously, this gathering was not simple, but an opportunity deliberately created by Huo Zhengyuan -- an opportunity for Zhao Junchen to meet privately with those "Yellow Party" officials -- through this gathering, Zhao Junchen could take the opportunity to encircle the "Yellow Party" officials, and the "Yellow Party" officials could also express their intentions to Zhao Junchen who took the opportunity.

It can be said that how many "Yellow Party" officials will defect to Zhao Junchen in the future will largely depend on the outcome of this banquet.

After thinking about this, Zhao Junchen naturally would not refuse Huo Zhengyuan's invitation, but said with a smile: "I see, since your colleagues look up to this official so much, then this official will definitely go to Fushou Pavilion on time tonight, and also take the opportunity to get close to your colleagues." ”

PS: As you know, during this time, the bugs have had something going on at home, and they don't want to say more about the specific situation, otherwise they will be suspected of winning sympathy - and in this matter, the bugs don't want to get sympathy.

It's just that tonight, the family talked to the insects, thinking that the insects take care of family affairs and official affairs, and they have to take out the time code words every night, and often can't sleep until after the early morning, worrying that the insects' bodies can't stand it; The most important thing is that this book is difficult to write, but it doesn't make money at all, but it will delay things, so the family hopes that the bugs will have a choice.

So, the bug thought about it for a while and decided that he still wanted to continue to code, but he could give up his cheap reserve and the little rest time he had.

Prior to this, the bug's update has been unhelpful, so the bug is embarrassed to ask everyone for subscriptions and tips.

But from today onwards, I beg everyone to give Bug some practical support, so that the income from this book can be slightly more visible, so that Bug can withstand the pressure of the family and continue to write the book with peace of mind.

Of course, at the same time, under the premise of ensuring quality, the update will also be accelerated.

Thank you!
