"Your Majesty, the minister recommended Shaobao Zhao Zhenghe to join the cabinet to become an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, Zhao Shaobao has made outstanding achievements over the years, his ability and experience are sufficient, and he has always had a high reputation among the hundred officials, and he is the best candidate for the public......"

"The minister recommended the scholar Li He, the experience, ability, and reputation of the scholar Li are the best choice, and he once had the experience of entering the cabinet, but because of the death of his mother, he returned to his hometown for three years, but his performance during the cabinet is also obvious to all, and now let him enter the cabinet again, it is also a ......matter of course."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is an excellent candidate to enter the cabinet, and now several cabinet elders in the cabinet are already dying and old, and it is time to add some young and energetic important ministers of the court, and Zuo Shangshu has just passed the year of knowing the mandate of heaven, but he is already experienced and meritorious, and he is the right person to enter the cabinet......"

"The minister supports the university scholar Huo Zhengyuan to join the cabinet to assist the government, Huo University scholar is rich in learning, astute, and familiar with the ancient and modern laws and regulations, which is an excellent supplement to the cabinet......"

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended Zhao Junchen, the secretary of the household department, ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks ......"

As the short silence ended, there was an endless surge of light and darkness in the Imperial Palace, and the major factions in the DPRK and China began to recommend their own candidates. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In fact, the political game of various parties around cabinet seats has been quietly unfolding for a long time.

After all, Zhao Junchen, Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao and others are all top-notch among the hundred officials, and when Huang Yourong showed signs of collapse, several of them immediately foresaw the changes in today's situation, and also made targeted arrangements.

Therefore, after hearing Emperor Deqing's inquiry, the major factions were well prepared, and most of them concentrated on promoting the most promising candidates within their respective factions, and there were not too many differences.

Among them, the "Shen Party" from Shen Changmao to Shen Changmao has wantonly created momentum for Shaobao Zhao Zhenghe, wanting to promote Zhao Zhenghe into the cabinet, and Zhao Zhenghe's reputation is indeed a more suitable candidate.

Under the leadership of Zhou Shangjing, the people of the "Zhou Party" recommended the university scholar Li He one after another, and Li He's prestige and qualifications were higher than Zhao Zhenghe's, and there were more voices supporting him to enter the cabinet.

In contrast, the "Zhao Party", which has been the most active in recent days, is a little silent at this time, and even shows great differences of opinion: most of the more senior "Zhao Party" officials, such as Zhan Shanchang, the head of the household department, Gu Quan, the right servant, and Liu Changan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, all recommended Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; For example, Lin Youlun, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Situ Han, the right deputy capital, and Wang Wei, the left Tongzheng Wang Yi, these officials who have just joined the "Zhao Party" have recommended Huo Zhengyuan, a bachelor with a similar background to them; There are even some "Zhao Party" officials who are bent on patting Zhao Junchen's ass, and they are not afraid of attracting ridicule, and they actually strongly recommend Zhao Junchen, who has serious lack of qualifications and prestige......

In this way, the "Zhao Party" became the only party in the imperial court that did not unify its internal opinions, and its performance was poor.

In fact, the clumsy performance of the "Zhao Party" at this time was all deliberately done by Zhao Junchen.

After all, if Zhao Junchen led the "Zhao Party" to support Zuo Lanshan into the cabinet from the very beginning, it means that Zuo Lanshan is deeply trusted by Zhao Junchen, or Zhao Junchen is completely sure of controlling Zuo Lanshan, so he doesn't mind Zuo Lanshan entering the cabinet at all, and he is not worried that Zuo Lanshan's status will be higher than his own!

In this case, Emperor Deqing will definitely re-examine his plan to use Zuo Lanshan to split the "Zhao Party", and at that time, in order to prevent the "Zhao Party" from becoming further powerful and begin to meddle in the affairs of the cabinet, he may oppose Zuo Lanshan entering the cabinet, and in this way, the difficulty of Zuo Lanshan entering the cabinet will be multiplied!

Therefore, Zhao Junchen deliberately did not unify the opinions within the "Zhao Party", so that the "Zhao Party" showed great differences in front of Emperor Deqing, all of which was to imply that Emperor Deqing - Zhao Junchen did not trust Zuo Lanshan very much, and was also worried that Zuo Lanshan would lose control after entering the cabinet, so he would not be able to make up his mind for a long time, and caused differences of opinion within the "Zhao Party" - after seeing this scene, Emperor Deqing would further strengthen his confidence in using Zuo Lanshan to split the "Zhao Party", It is more likely that he will support Zuo Lanshan to enter the cabinet.

Although, in this way, the momentum of calling for Zuo Lanshan to enter the cabinet will be much lowered, but as long as Emperor Deqing is deceived and Emperor Deqing supports Zuo Lanshan to enter the cabinet, everything will be worth it! As for the differences within the "Zhao Party", as long as Zhao Junchen is willing to express his attitude, they can be unified soon, and Zuo Lanshan's momentum will naturally rise sharply at that time!

Anyway, this political game around cabinet seats is by no means something that will be settled in a short period of time, and Zuo Lanshan's weak momentum in the short term will not affect the long-term, but will make several other factions careless.

Sure enough, after seeing the differences of opinion within the "Zhao Party", Emperor Deqing's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and he felt that his plan to split the "Zhao Party" was promising.

Moreover, Emperor Deqing also secretly observed the changes in the expressions of Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan at this moment.

Under Zhao Junchen's orders, Zuo Lanshan was silent and did not express his position, but deliberately revealed a trace of resentment in his expression, as if he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the "Zhao Party" did not fully support him.

Officialdom is like a theater, and Zuo Lanshan is also an old actor, so his performance at this time can be described as vivid, and Emperor Deqing did not find any abnormalities.

And Zhao Junchen showed obvious hesitation, occasionally looking at Zuo Lanshan, occasionally looking at Huo Zhengyuan, and occasionally bowing his head in contemplation, it seemed that he still couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know who he should support to enter the cabinet.

Zhao Junchen's acting skills are also good, and he also concealed Emperor Deqing.

Therefore, after seeing the performance of Zuo Lanshan and Zhao Junchen, Emperor Deqing's idea of using Zuo Lanshan to split the "Zhao Party" became more and more intense.

Zhao Junchen did not look up to observe the change in Emperor Deqing's expression, for fear that he would reveal a flaw.

In fact, when Emperor Deqing secretly observed Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen was not only acting, but also secretly observing the performance of the other major factions in the court.

Among them, the attitudes of the "Shen Party" and the "Zhou Party" are quite clear, and the candidates they recommend are also expected by Zhao Junchen.

However, "the Prince. The attitude of the "party" and the "imperial party" has attracted Zhao Junchen's attention and vigilance.

When the major factions in the DPRK and China have put forward their own candidates, "the prince. The party's performance was unexpectedly low-key, and there was no competition for this vacant cabinet seat.

Of course, this is also something that can be imagined, after all, since Cheng Yuandao entered the cabinet, "Prince. "There is no suitable candidate within the party to compete for the cabinet position, or the ability is insufficient, or the prestige is not enough, even if it is reluctantly recommended, it is impossible to win the approval of the hundred officials."

Plus these days since the "Prince. The party's performance has always been low-key, so their quiet and low-key performance at this time is also to be expected.

However, to Zhao Junchen's surprise, "The Prince. The party's silence and low profile are only temporary.

When some "imperial party" officials began to recommend the trilateral governor Liang Fuchen to the cabinet, "the crown prince. The attitude of the party's "people" suddenly changed, and they were no longer silent, but they came out to speak one after another, and they also recommended Liang Fuchen to join the cabinet and auxiliary government!

After seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen thought thoughtfully: "Interesting, 'Prince. Is the party's position actively moving closer to the 'imperialist party'? Well, this should be Zhao Shancai's plan, and it is indeed a clever plan...... In addition, the officials of the 'Imperial Party' recommended Liang Fuchen, the governor of the three sides, which is what Emperor Deqing meant? ”
