Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the same time that Emperor Deqing summoned Zhao Junchen to talk privately, the core figures of Huang Yourong's faction had already gathered in Huang Yourong's mansion, ready to discuss with Huang Yourong how to retaliate against Zhao Junchen.
Huang Yourong has served as a cabinet elder in the court for many years, his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and his foundation is solid in the government and the opposition, and now in the Huang Mansion, although it is only a gathering of core figures, there are already seven or eight people in the list of young master Zhang Cheng, Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Huo Zhengyuan, Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Pengfei, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, etc., looking at the momentum.
Huang Yourong is different from Wen Guanliang at the beginning, Wen Guanliang is the most greedy for money, and the power in his hands at the beginning was mainly concentrated in the Ministry of Industry, the Salt Envoy Department and other fat and shortage yamen who are easy to be greedy for ink and silver, but Huang Yourong is even more greedy for power, so his friends in the DPRK and China are more high-ranking officials who hold real power and can express their opinions in the early court.
It can be said that if Zhao Junchen wants to deal with Huang Yourong, it will definitely be much more difficult than dealing with Wen Guanliang at the beginning, and once the hostility is over, the counterattack he faces will be much more intense.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Everyone, everyone has seen what happened to the court this morning, Zhao Junchen's actions like this clearly do not take us seriously, and he has been planning for a long time and is ambitious, if we don't retaliate, there will be no place for this temple center to stand...... Tell us what you think. β
Sitting on the main seat, Huang Yourong gritted his teeth and said slowly, obviously restraining the anger in his heart.
Seeing Huang Yourong's appearance, everyone in the guest hall was secretly frightened.
Young Master Zhang Cheng, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar Huo Zhengyuan, Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lin Wei and others, as Huang Yourong's hardcore friends, are the Xingzi who knows Huang Yourong best.
In this era, there is no concept of "split personality", but Huang Yourong may have been hypocritical for a long time, but there are obvious signs and trends of this kind. Pingri always looks kind and kind, and Ren greets everyone with a smile, but once things are out of control, they are always furious and devastated, which makes people look frightened.
Just now, Huang Yourong had just returned home, and he had already dropped four or five cups in front of everyone, and finally relieved the anger in his heart a little.
It's just that in the past, there was only Zhou Shangjing in the Manchu Dynasty who could make Huang Yourong lose his temper, but now there is another Zhao Junchen.
Young Fu Zhang Cheng, Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Huo Zhengyuan, and Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lin Wei have a high status in Huang Yourong's party, but after listening to Huang Yourong's inquiry, they didn't mean to speak, they all muttered and didn't know what they were thinking.
Yan Pengfei, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, saw that he was a little cold, and after hesitating for a while, he finally said cautiously: "Ge Lao, this morning, although we let Zhao Junchen take some advantage, but it is also because we were caught off guard, Ge Lao, you have been operating in the court for many years, and where is Zhao Junchen within reach?" If they dare to impeach our people, we will fight back, and we will definitely win in the end. β
Huang Yourong snorted coldly, and when he was irritable, he looked at Yan Pengfei with an unkind look: "You say it's good, but it's all nonsense!" What Zhao Junchen did today is extremely profound, and it has cut off our biggest means of counterattack, don't you see it?! Extremely dull!! β
Hearing Huang Yourong say this, Yan Pengfei was a little puzzled, obviously not understanding the true intention of Zhao Junchen to impeach Tang Zheng in the early dynasty.
Seeing that Yan Pengfei was so stupid, Huang Yourong snorted coldly, but he didn't bother to explain, but he became more and more displeased with Yan Pengfei.
Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was more patient, and explained softly to Yan Pengfei: "Now Zhao Junchen's power is mainly concentrated in the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, one of these two yamen is responsible for producing silver, and the other is responsible for spending silver, which is complementary and helpful to each other, and now it is operated by Zhao Junchen like an iron bucket, which is the foundation of Zhao Junchen, it can be said that as long as these two yamen do not have accidents, no matter how we attack Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen will not hurt his vitality, but compared with Zhao Junchen, the distribution of our power is inevitably scattered, It is also easy to be attacked and impeached by Zhao Junchen, which is where our difficulty lies today. β
On the other side, the young master Zhang Cheng also added coldly: "Originally, Tang Zheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, was a nail we planted in Zhao Junchen's territory, as long as this nail is there, we have the means to fight back, I never thought that Zhao Junchen was suddenly difficult today, and we pulled out this nail while we were defenseless, but we also lost the biggest means of counterattack." β
After a pause, Zhang Cheng shook his head, and then said: "And he pulled out the nail so suddenly, and he didn't give an inch to the old Huang Pavilion in the court, it was Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword with the intention of Pei Gong, what the intention is, it has been undoubtedly revealed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be good with us." β
Only then did Yan Pengfei understand the far-reaching impact of Zhao Junchen's impeachment of Tang Zheng this morning, and he couldn't help but change his face. I also knew that I was shallow and couldn't understand the stakes, but then I didn't dare to express my opinion lightly.
But Huang Yourong didn't want to listen to these things that he had already understood, showed an impatient look, and frowned: "What the old man wants to know now is how we should take revenge on Zhao Junchen now!" Don't patronize the analysis, do you have any ideas for it? β
Lin Wei also frowned, but said a little helplessly: "Zhao Junchen impeached our people this time, according to the usual practice, we should also impeach his people, but Zhao Junchen has obviously been planning for a long time this time, I am afraid that he and his friends have now hidden the evidence of the crime, and looking at the charges they impeached Tang Zheng in the early dynasty, the people of the Ministry of Industry have transferred all their guilt to Tang Zheng, and now we want to impeach Zhao Junchen's people, but there is also some trouble, without evidence, I am afraid that they will not be able to help them at all. But if you want to collect evidence, you need at least three or four days to prepare. β
Zhang Cheng also sighed and said: "Yes, if we want to effectively fight back against Zhao Junchen, we need at least three or four days of preparation, but I am afraid that in these three or four days, Zhao Junchen will have any actions, so that we will have any losses, and we will inevitably be tired of coping." In any case, Zhao Junchen has been planning for a long time this time, but we are careless, and after losing the opportunity, we are already passive step by step. β
Huang Yourong's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Is it possible...... We haven't paid attention to Zhao Junchen's shortcomings before? β
Lin Wei shook his head and said: "I have paid attention to it, but firstly, Zhao Junchen and his faction have been cautious since they have been doing things carefully, and secondly, since they have been planning for a long time, they are afraid that they have already had countermeasures for the handles we have been looking for before, although they can give it a try, but there is little hope of success." What's more, His Majesty may not be on our side. β
"Bang!"
The sudden sound of porcelain shattering made everyone startled, and when they looked up, it was Huang Yourong who dropped the cup again.
"Could it be that we don't have any means of counterattacking Zhao Junchen!?"
Huang Yourong gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Thinking that after the early dynasty today, Emperor Deqing summoned Zhao Junchen alone, but he didn't pay any attention to him, who kissed and who was sparse at a glance, Huang Yourong's heart couldn't help but be even more angry.
Zhang Cheng, as a young master, saw Huang Youronghuo, but he didn't worry too much, but just said honestly: "At present, it seems that we can only find some people to impeach Zhao Junchen at will first when we go up tomorrow morning, but it is just a try, just to find some trouble for Zhao Junchen and them, so that the officials know that we are not easy to bully, but if we want to fight back effectively, we can't be in a hurry." β
Seeing that Huang Yourong was about to become angry again, Huo Zhengyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Actually, it's not difficult to really find some trouble for Zhao Junchen."
Huo Zhengyuan didn't talk much, but his vision and resourcefulness were the most convincing, and when he opened his mouth at this time, everyone was happy, even Huang Yourong calmed down the irritability in his heart a little, and then looked at Huo Zhengyuan with expectation.
Although Huo Zhengyuan was in the spotlight, he was slow and unhurried, first sorted out his thoughts, and then said slowly: "Now that Zhao Junchen's power has been established, if you want to impeach him and his people, you naturally need conclusive evidence, but if you want to find some trouble for Zhao Junchen, let him deal with one thing and the other, and delay us for some buffer time, it is enough to have some excuses, and if things go smoothly, or even bring down Zhao Junchen in one fell swoop, it is not indispensable." β
"What do you mean?" Huang Yourong asked.
Huo Zhengyuan's scheming and vision are good, but he can only assist Huang Yourong, but he can't become a cabinet elder like Huang Yourong.
However, at such a time, Huang Yourong did not blame, but waited eagerly for Huo Zhengyuan's explanation.
Huo Zhengyuan smiled slightly, and replied: "The household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, which is the most prone to problems, and it is also the most eye-catching, Zhao Junchen is a well-known corrupt official, even if he manages the household department as airtight as an iron bucket, but as long as we find some excuses, add fuel to the fire a little, and arouse the suspicion of hundreds of officials and the world about the whereabouts of the household department's money and grain, then even if His Majesty protects Zhao Junchen, but under the will of the public, it is inevitable that the household department will be audited." β
Hearing Huo Zhengyuan say this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Auditing accounts is indeed the easiest way to deal with Zhao Junchen, and in their understanding, a big corrupt official like Zhao Junchen will not be able to withstand strict investigation no matter how he does fake accounts.
Seeing that everyone understood, they all looked at themselves with admiration on their faces, and their expressions were excited, Huo Zhengyuan's expression flashed with self-satisfaction, but then he looked light, and his speech became more and more slow.
"As for the excuse, it's easy to find, so I asked a few local yamen to fold together, saying that the money and food approved by the household department during this period were insufficient, and their whereabouts were unknown, and we also followed a few words, and the next thing came naturally...... Checking the accounts department is a big deal, once this matter starts, in the next few days, the hundred officials will have no time to take care of others, and Zhao Junchen will inevitably divert his attention because of this, and he will argue about it, in the end, it is naturally best to be able to check the accounts, but even if His Majesty tries his best to maintain it, in the end he still can't check the accounts, but we have a buffer time. β
With Huo Zhengyuan's idea, everyone nodded again and again.
But after Huang Yourong was pleasantly surprised, he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly frowned. (To be continued.)
