At this time, all the officials were worried about Zhongzhong, because the cabinet has always been a representative body of the ministers' power, and if the Deqing Emperor is allowed to intervene in the cabinet, and it is still the most important cabinet auxiliary minister appointment power, it means that the imperial power is greatly strengthened, and the minister's power is greatly weakened.

Emperor Deqing himself is a relatively strong emperor, and he has never paid much attention to the feelings of the officials, if the power of the Deqing Emperor is further enhanced, then the future of the officials will be even more sad.

Unfortunately, at this point, the "special Jane" was a foregone conclusion, and it was irretrievable, so the officials had to turn their attention to the cabinet candidate list - after all, according to Emperor Deqing, he would draw up a list based on the recommendation of the officials, and the cabinet candidates would only be selected from this list.

After all, Liang Fuchen, the trilateral governor of the "Imperial Party", will definitely appear in this recommendation, list, and finally Emperor Deqing will also push Liang Fuchen into the cabinet, and then take the opportunity to meddle in cabinet affairs through Liang Fuchen, but this recommended list is the only comfort in the hearts of the officials.

In addition, Emperor Deqing announced that there would be at least two ministers who would join the cabinet this time, and this situation also made many officials who thought they were qualified have their own thoughts and think about the cabinet candidate list.

At the same time that the officials began to accept the facts and seriously consider the matter of joining the cabinet shortlist, Zhao Junchen was thinking about another thing.

Zhao Junchen is an egoist, and he is more concerned about his own interests and losses - and because of this, Zhao Junchen at this time noticed some details that the officials ignored.

That is, as the dust settles on many things in the court this morning, the relationship between Emperor Deqing and the crown prince Zhu Heyu has begun to ease!

Originally, although Emperor Deqing and the crown prince Zhu Heyu were named father and son, the relationship between them was not harmonious, the Deqing Emperor was disgusted with the stubbornness and recklessness of the prince Zhu Heyu, and was also jealous of the outstanding reputation of the prince Zhu Heyu, and the prince Zhu Heyu thought that the Deqing Emperor did not distinguish between right and wrong, sheltered the treacherous and evil, and harmed the Ming Dynasty handed down by the ancestors.

Therefore, although the two are both father and son and monarchs, they always have some momentum with each other, their political views are opposite, their positions are different, their personalities are very different, and there are often disputes, and there has been no close communication for a long time, especially in recent years, unless necessary, Emperor Deqing will never summon Prince Zhu and Yu alone to talk, and Prince Zhu and Yu always look like a businessman after seeing Emperor Deqing, and they can't see the feelings between father and son at all.

Although, Emperor Deqing will still consider the crown prince Zhu Heyu, and will help the prince Zhu Heyu from time to time, but it is only for the sake of the inheritance of the country, and the prince Zhu Heyu is loyal to Emperor Deqing, but he is only abiding by the way of his sons.

In front of Emperor Deqing, the crown prince Zhu Heyu was a model courtier, loyal and dedicated to his service! In front of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, Emperor Deqing was also a model emperor, sheltered from the wind and rain, and had many shelters...... But on the contrary, there is absolutely no father-son relationship between the two.

Zhao Junchen does not think that such a relationship will last long, these two fathers and sons because of their different perspectives on the problem, they both think that they are simply giving, but they don't get anything in return, they will inevitably get tired of it for a long time, and then it will be time for their father and son to break up completely.

But today, with the crown prince Zhu and Yu taking the initiative to help Emperor Deqing get the right to appoint cabinet candidates, the situation has changed subtly.

At the end of the early dynasty, Emperor Deqing suddenly summoned the crown prince Zhu and Yu to the imperial study to talk—a situation that had not been seen for a long time.

In addition, when Emperor Deqing summoned the crown prince Zhu and Yu, his expression was gentle and his eyes were pleased, obviously very satisfied with the performance of the prince Zhu and Yu this morning, thinking that the prince Zhu and Yu were finally mature, and such an expression finally had some fatherly appearance.

In such a situation, as long as the crown prince Zhu and Yu are not fools and are willing to show due filial piety and humility in front of Emperor Deqing, then it is inevitable that the relationship between the two will tend to ease!

After all, the two are father and son, and as long as they take a step back from each other, the relationship can soon gradually be harmonious.

Although the crown prince Zhu Heyu is stubborn and reckless, he is by no means a fool, and Zhao Shancai, the staff behind him, is even less a fool.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that the relationship between the Deqing Emperor and the crown prince Zhu and Yu will tend to ease. The party will gradually tend to cooperate!

This means that the situation between the DPRK and China will further change.

In this way, Zhao Junchen's future situation will also deteriorate further!

"Emperor Deqing has always had the idea of unloading the mill and killing the donkey to me, and the prince Zhu and Yu hate me even more, the relationship between the two of them was not harmonious in the past, and I still have some room for development, but then I'm afraid it won't be so easy...... This Zhao Shancai, the more he understands him, the more he feels that he underestimates him! I didn't expect him to take advantage of the opportunity of the cabinet vacancy to plot against Shen Changmao, and let the crown prince Zhu and Yu take the opportunity to curry favor with Emperor Deqing and save the relationship between the two, in this way, the relationship between Emperor Deqing and the prince tends to ease, and Emperor Deqing will also be more active in protecting the prince, and after Emperor Deqing has the ability to intervene in the cabinet, the ability to protect the prince will also be greatly enhanced, so that the prince's position as the prince is much more stable! …… It's really remarkable, the crown prince's already precarious situation was easily reversed by Zhao Shancai...... This son is too threatening, fortunately, there is also the existence of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, otherwise it ......"

Thinking of the news that Zhao Shancai suddenly visited Shen Changmao secretly a few days ago, Zhao Junchen could naturally deduce that the various performances of the crown prince Zhu Heyu today, as well as Shen Changmao's fall this time, were all due to Zhao Shancai's secret promotion, and the fear of Zhao Shancai in his heart was even deeper.

While thinking in secret, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, seriously thinking about his future direction.

At this time, a group of "Zhao Party" officials followed behind Zhao Junchen.

Like the hundred officials, they were more concerned about the election of the cabinet candidates by the hundred officials, and they all had the intention to ask Zhao Junchen for advice, but when they saw Zhao Junchen's frowning and serious thinking, they didn't dare to disturb, just quietly followed.

Zhao Junchen was thinking about his own affairs, and it was not until he was about to get on the sedan chair and go back home that he found that everyone in the "Zhao Party" was following him and looking at him with blank eyes.

Seeing the appearance of the "Zhao Party", Zhao Junchen secretly sighed in his heart and thought: "Forget it, let's take one step at a time, the top priority is to send Zuo Lanshan into the cabinet first......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen smiled lightly at the "Zhao Party" people, and put on a confident and confident expression, and said: "This is not the place to talk, if it is convenient for you, how about going to my house to talk in detail?" There is a storm in the morning today, and there will be many changes in the temple in the future, so we should also plan in detail! ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's performance like this, everyone in the "Zhao Party" thought that Zhao Junchen had a plan in his heart, and they were sure in his heart!

Zhao Junchen's various means and mentality shown in recent years are almost invincible, and they have already convinced them and made them have great trust, so after Zhao Junchen made a decision, they also felt that the future was bright!

So, after the "Zhao Party" people got the order, they left one after another, got into their sedan chairs, and followed Zhao Junchen towards Zhao's mansion!

At the same time, Pavilion Elder Zhou Shangjing also left the Forbidden City silently, preparing to return home in a sedan chair.

However, Zhou Shangjing's silent performance was a big deal for the "Zhou Party" behind Zhou Shangjing.

You must know that Zhou Shangjing is the most powerful minister in the court, and he is also a representative figure of today's ministers, he has firmly controlled the cabinet over the years, and now seeing that Emperor Deqing is about to intervene in the cabinet, the "Zhou Party" people are naturally anxious, and they just want to find a way to reverse the situation as soon as possible.

After all, once Emperor Deqing intervenes in the cabinet, it means that Zhou Shangjing's power will decline a lot, which means that the "Zhou Party" is going to decline, and the "Zhou Party" will naturally not be able to benefit at that time.

It's a pity that Zhou Shangjing still showed an unhurried performance, and he didn't have the slightest eagerness, but left the Forbidden City without saying a word and prepared to return home in a sedan chair, and the people of the "Zhou Party" were naturally even more anxious.

Seeing that Zhou Shangjing was sitting in the sedan chair and was about to leave, Song Qiwen, the secretary of the ministry, finally couldn't help but step forward and stopped the sedan chair, and bent down to ask Zhou Shangjing in the sedan chair: "Elder Ge, do you think we will go to your house to discuss the matter of the court this morning?" ”

Zhou Shangjing's face remained unchanged, but his expression was a little tired, and he said slowly: "The old man knows what you are worried about...... But there is nothing to worry about, His Majesty's methods are clever, but he can't change people's hearts after all...... So we don't have anything to lose...... Since ancient times, have you ever seen someone rebel against themselves? No matter who he is, no matter how loyal he is, once he enters the cabinet, his position will quietly change...... If your colleagues are worried, tell them what the old man has to say, and they will understand......

After speaking, Zhou Shangjing leaned back in the sedan chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked like he wanted to rest quietly.

Zhou Shangjing is old, and his energy is the most weak, and today's morning dynasty is too long and there are too many things, which is tantamount to a torture for him.

Seeing Zhou Shangjing's performance like this, Song Qiwen didn't dare to disturb anymore, and hurriedly dodged out of the way and let the sedan chair drivers of the Zhou Mansion carry the sedan chair away.

At the same time, thinking of Zhou Shangjing's words, Song Qiwen also thoughtfully and faintly realized something.
