Seeing Zhao Junchen walking towards him, Zhou Shangjing was slightly stunned, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, Zhou Shangjing said to everyone on the left and right: "This Zhao Junchen personally came to talk to the old man...... He has always been shrewd, and he must have guessed that our target today is his 'Zhao Party', you say, he is here to fight this time? Or are you here to beg for mercy? ”

Zhang Bochong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, snorted lightly and said: "I think that Shen Changmao is now the first assistant of the cabinet, and now he is in the limelight, and after being impeached by us, Zhao Zhenghe is also a turtle with a shrunken head, not only do not dare to resist, but also afraid that we will take advantage of the victory to pursue ...... Shen Changmao, as the first assistant, has always had a strong personality, and he is still like this, this Zhao Junchen is just a scholar, young and cautious, how dare he confront us head-on? He met with Shousuke-sama, naturally to seek peace! ”

On the other side, Song Qiwen, the secretary of the ministry, shook his head lightly and said: "I'm afraid that it may not be, Zhao Junchen's personality seems to be supple, but in fact, he is bold and careful, and he must not be underestimated. ”

Then, after pondering for a while, the scholar Li He also expressed his support for Song Qiwen's statement, saying: "I have only received an idle position in recent years, and I have not had much contact with Zhao Junchen, but I also know that when Zhao Junchen was not in power, he did not have any friend assistance, so he dared to compete head-on with Wen Guanliang, the second assistant at that time, and also completely defeated Wen Guanliang and incorporated Wen Guanliang's powerful connections. At that time, Zhao Junchen was still not giving an inch, how can he compromise now? In my opinion, Zhao Junchen is at least here to spy on the truth. ”

Hearing the views of Song Qiwen and Li He, Zhang Bochong was a little unconvinced, and said: "The two adults inevitably think too highly of Zhao Junchen, then Zhao Junchen used to be beaten and scolded like a grandson in front of His Majesty and the crown prince, so I know that he has a cowardly temperament, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, how can he have such ambition to dare to compete with us?" ”

Seeing that several core members of the "Zhou Party" were arguing endlessly because of Zhao Junchen's attitude, Zhou Shangjing smiled lightly and said: "There is no need to fight, you will know when you meet......

After speaking, Zhou Shangjing also lined up the "Zhou Party" people in front of him and greeted Zhao Junchen.

At this time, Zhao Junchen had already come to the "Zhou Party" and stood not far away, under the gaze of the officials with different meanings, Zhao Junchen still looked calm, just quietly waiting for Zhou Shangjing's arrival.

As Zhou Shangjing moved to Zhao Junchen's side, the officials outside the noon gate looked more and more solemn, although they were still far away and couldn't hear the voices of Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing, but they were still snooping intently, secretly guessing the content of the conversation between the two, most of them were faintly nervous.

Although the officials were in a nervous mood, after Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing met, the atmosphere was unexpectedly relaxed, and there was no atmosphere of a big war at all.

When Zhou Shangjing came to Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen preemptively saluted and said: "I have seen Zhou's seniors, speaking of which, since the end of the southern tour, the juniors have been busy with mundane affairs, so they have not visited their seniors or asked their seniors for advice, and I am very sorry in my heart." ”

Zhou Shangjing smiled and said: "Junchen's talent and intelligence are far beyond his peers, he has his own furrow in his chest, and he has always been determined, once he has made up his mind, he will never easily regret it, what do you need to ask the old man for?" Although the world is big, there are only a few people who can teach Junchen, and the old man thinks that he is not among them. ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "The seniors have praised it, how dare the younger generations be a little clever with the seniors." ”

Zhou Shangjing's expression was full of admiration, and he also shook his head and said: "What the old man said is not hypocritical, let alone false. Junchen, what you have done in recent years, the old man is in his eyes, and his heart is also admired again and again, compared with Junchen, the old man is just more experienced, if he changes positions, the old man may not be able to do better. ”

After Zhao Junchen sighed, he said: "The seniors value the juniors so much, and the juniors are even more reluctant to be enemies with the seniors. ”

After Zhou Shangjing coughed lightly, he also sighed: "Actually, at this time, the old man is not willing to be an enemy of Junchen. But the old man has come to this point, it seems to be majestic and glorious, but many times he can't help himself, after the cabinet is vacant, everyone is eyeing it, and everyone under the old man regards this position as a bag, if the old man does not take it, I am afraid that he will be complained. ”

After hearing Zhou Shangjing's emotion, Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Don't the seniors know the truth that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind?" Although the younger generation is far inferior to the seniors, if they resist desperately, the seniors may not be able to win easily, and if others get a glimpse of the opportunity during the period, the seniors and the juniors may have to lose both. ”

Zhao Junchen's words were naturally a metaphor for Emperor Deqing.

Zhao Junchen believed that Emperor Deqing yesterday encouraged himself to confront Zhou Shangjing head-on, and he must have the intention of profiting from the fisherman.

In this regard, Zhou Shangjing naturally knows it.

However, Zhou Shangjing didn't care about Zhao Junchen's warning, but just said: "If the praying mantis's means are clever, the yellow finch may not be profitable!" ”

Zhao Junchen counterattacked: "If the cicada is smart enough, the praying mantis may not be able to hunt, and then the praying mantis will not only fail to achieve its goal, but will be unable to advance and retreat, even if the means are clever, it will still let the yellow finch find an opportunity." ”

Zhou Shangjing was still unmoved, and said lightly: "In this way, it seems that the cicada, the praying mantis, and the yellow finch will benefit in the end, and it depends on their respective means." ”

Zhao Junchen glanced at Zhou Shangjing deeply, and saw that Zhou Shangjing had no intention of changing his mind at all, so he nodded and said, "Yes, after all, I still have to see the real chapter for my subordinates." ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen didn't say anything more, and after saluting Zhou Shangjing again, he turned around and left.

Although Zhao Junchen was fully prepared, he was still unwilling to start a war with Zhou Shangjing easily until he had to do so, and he met with Zhou Shangjing in advance this time to confirm it and see if there was room for redemption.

If Zhou Shangjing's attitude still has room for maneuver, it can also reduce a lot of losses.

Today, the answer is obvious.

For this answer, Zhao Junchen didn't want to see it, but he was already prepared in his heart, so he didn't feel disappointed, but returned to the front of the "Zhao Party" people, and with a calm smile, he slowly announced: "Everyone, I went over and asked just now, Zhou Gelao's goal today is really us, and his attitude is resolute, and there is no room for redemption, so let's stop taking chances and prepare for war." ”

When everyone in the "Zhao Party" agreed, Zhao Junchen turned around again, and also looked at Zhou Shangjing again, secretly recalling Zhou Shangjing's unintentional words in his heart - "At this time, the old man is not willing to be an enemy of Junchen."

"Since Zhou Shangjing mentioned the word 'current', does he think that sooner or later he will be my enemy? In that case, why did he secretly help me so many times before? ”

Zhao Junchen was thoughtful, secretly guessing Zhou Shangjing's true thoughts.

At the same time, Zhou Shangjing also returned to the "Zhou Party".

I saw Zhou Shangjing glance around at Song Qiwen, Zhang Bochong, Li He and others, and said slowly: "Song Qiwen and Li He, the two of you guessed correctly, Zhao Junchen is indeed here to fight." Tell to go down, let the people below be vigilant, today's things are not as easy as yesterday, and Zhao Junchen is not as strong and easy to deal with as Shen Changmao, if he rebounds violently, he may encounter a big trouble today. ”

As Zhou Shangjing's words fell, everyone in the "Zhou Party" also agreed.

And just when the "Zhao Party" and the "Zhou Party" made up their minds, a majestic bell suddenly sounded above the noon gate, and the noon gate slowly opened, which means that the early dynasty is about to begin.

The officials were either expectant or nervous, and lined up one after another, and entered the noon gate, ready to participate in today's morning court.

The curtain of a great chaos has also slowly opened.
