……

Seeing Zhao Junchen's gaze, Zeng Wei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The student thinks that after I become an official, I should learn the practice of Qingliu. ”

Clean?

After hearing Zeng Wei's words, including Liu Zimin, everyone in the new science and technology was shocked.

Didn't Zeng Wei know that those Qingliu people in the court all regarded Zhao Junchen as their mortal enemies?

Over the years, the Qingliu people have caused countless troubles to Zhao Junchen in the temple, and the impeachment of Zhao Junchen for corruption and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, and other crimes has been a daily homework for the Qinglius, and Zhao Junchen despises the Qingliu people the most, and they have been suppressed more than once, and the two sides can be said to be an endless situation.

At this time, if he said that he wanted to learn Qingliu, wouldn't he be afraid of making Zhao Junchen angry? Aren't you unhappy for yourself?

What's more, what's so good about clear streams? has no power, no power, no wealth, and is not even treated by the emperor, only a mouth and a little clear name are left, where is it like Zhao Junchen, who is powerful and powerful in the officialdom, calling for wind and rain, and spending a lot of money on weekdays!

Just when the new scholars were half gloating, half amazed, Zhao Junchen's expression remained the same, but asked with interest: "Oh? Learn the clear stream? It's interesting, let's go into more detail. ”

Zeng Wei said: "Students also agree with Liu Gongzi's point of view, now the world has a lot of misunderstandings about Lord Zhao, we are deeply favored by Lord Zhao, and we should share the worries and solve problems for Lord Zhao, but we have just entered the officialdom, whether it is prestige or power, but we are powerless." Therefore, the students think that although Liu Gongzi's idea is good, he still needs an effective method. And this approach. It's about learning the clear stream!

Forgive the student for saying a word beyond the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. Over the years, it has been tied to the court, although the status is noble, but it is also inaction, and in recent days, some things have finally been done, but whether it is the preparation of the southern tour, or the preparation of the southern tour fraud case, it has all been messed up. It's just that, in such a situation, the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unmatched. Before he succeeded to the throne, he was already regarded by many people as the master of Zhongxing in my Ming Dynasty, why does Lord Zhao think this is? Isn't it because of the repeated praise of the clear streams? But in fact, only the praise of the Qingliu has an effect, because the Qingliu have a clear name and reputation, and the government and the opposition also believe in them! If it is touted by others, I am afraid that it will be useless. ”

While speaking, Zeng Wei glanced up at Zhao Junchen, but saw Zhao Junchen nodding appreciatively. It is also a boost of confidence.

As mentioned earlier, it is a well-known thing that Zhao Junchen and Qingliu do not agree, so Zeng Wei said these views. It does take some risks, after all, Zeng Wei is still meeting Zhao Junchen for the first time, and he doesn't know Zhao Junchen's personality. At this time, seeing that Zhao Junchen was not disgusted, he was naturally a lot more relaxed.

And then. As Zeng Wei's confidence increased, his words became more and more convincing. continued: "However, how can the Qingliu have such a clear name and reputation? From the student's point of view, there are no more than two points, one is to lead by example, compared with most officials in the DPRK and China, the style of the Qingliu is indeed more honest, but the second point is more important, that is, to praise and build momentum among each other, so that the reputation of one person is the reputation of the whole of the name, and it has been repeatedly superimposed and increased.

Of course, it is not advisable to blindly learn Qingliu, although Qingliu is always a posture of pointing the world, but rarely practice and hard work, after all, there are some suspicions of being high-handed, so in addition to learning Qingliu, we must also be like Lord Zhao, do more practical things for the court and the people, so as to create prestige and reputation, it is also twice the result with half the effort!

After this, we have the credibility and prestige to win the trust of others, and then share the worries and solve problems for Lord Zhao and create momentum, which is the best strategy. ”

After Zeng Wei finished speaking, he looked up at Zhao Junchen, waiting for Zhao Junchen's evaluation.

However, Zhao Junchen was still noncommittal, but looked at the other new science and technology scholars, but saw that most of these new science and technology scholars, except for a few people, were silent, although they had not yet clearly objected, but they were all reluctant.

The reason why they studied and became officials was naturally not for the well-being of the people and the society of the country - compared with those Qingliu officials, Zhao Junchen was their real goal in life, and it was precisely because of this that they would take refuge in Zhao Junchen early.

Now, Zeng Wei is actually asking them to learn from the Qinglius, how can they be willing?

So, they were naturally silent, although because of Zeng Wei's face, they did not explicitly oppose it, but they did not agree either.

It's just that such silence is already the biggest opposition.

……

In fact, Zhao Junchen agrees with Zeng Wei's remarks.

Now, Zhao Junchen, as one of the powerful ministers in the court, in addition to the support of Emperor Deqing and his own painstaking management, is also because he has gathered a group of corrupt officials around him, and these corrupt officials are also full support for Zhao Junchen, which has created Zhao Junchen's current momentum in the court.

It's just that the corrupt officials under Zhao Junchen, such as Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhan Shanchang, the head of the household department, and others, although they do not lack the ability to do things, and they have helped Zhao Junchen a lot in terms of power, but in other aspects, they are already a big tail, not only did not help Zhao Junchen, but always dragged his feet!

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Zhao Junchen has been trying his best to improve his reputation these days, but his subordinates are full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and these people rely on Zhao Junchen to do whatever they want, so Zhao Junchen wants to improve his reputation, naturally he will get twice the result with half the effort, even if he occasionally has achievements, he will soon be defeated by these corrupt officials!

In addition, the countless gold and silver consumed by Zhao Junchen in order to satisfy the greed of these corrupt officials, and the various hidden dangers caused by the various crimes of these corrupt officials to Zhao Junchen made Zhao Junchen often have a headache.

It's a pity that these corrupt officials have been up and down in the sea for many years, and their behavior has already been fixed, and Zhao Junchen wants to reverse it again. But the heart is weak.

In this way, Zhao Junchen naturally pinned his hopes on these new science and technology scholars. It is hoped that the style of these new blood of the Zhao Party can be more honest and honest, and gradually replace the old blood of the Zhao Party. Under such a metabolism, the Zhao Party can also gradually transform, from a pure corrupt official group to a real court faction.

……

Therefore, Zeng Wei's remarks are very much in line with Zhao Junchen's true intentions.

It's just that seeing that the new scholars didn't agree with this very much, and even faintly rejected it, Zhao Junchen sighed secretly. But there was no way to directly agree with Zeng Wei's remarks, and asked these new science and technology scholars to forcibly act according to Zeng Wei's methods, otherwise it would only make them feel rebellious.

So, Zhao Junchen just nodded and said: "Zeng Gongzi's remarks are quite meritorious, and now in the court, it is the time of turmoil, so I also need to be cautious in my actions in the future." Don't be too out of line, otherwise I won't be able to cover up for you in the court, as for what is out of line, and what is not out of line. It's up to you...... My court's Yulu is not high, if I just stick to a Yulu, then let alone the officialdom to usher in. I'm afraid I can't even afford to raise people in my own house, but everything has a degree. Those who are officials must also have the deeds of officials, and you must also know about these things...... Of course. If you can have a reputation and reputation that is not inferior to Qingliu as Zeng Gongzi said, I will not mention what benefits it will do to me for the time being, but I will also have sufficient reasons when I promote you in the future, and in addition, there are some other benefits, which I will not understand now. ”

Zhao Junchen's words were just to the point, although there were some vague hints, but they did not force it, how much these new science and technology scholars in front of them could comprehend depends on themselves!

These new science and technology scholars, although they have misconduct and are a little shallow and ugly in their ambitions, are not like Zuo Lanshan, Zhan Shanchang and others after all, they are already greedy and deeply rooted in the bone marrow and can no longer be reversed.

Therefore, with Zeng Wei's words, Zhao Junchen's hint, and Zhao Junchen's deliberate guidance in the future - increase the training of those who are a little incorruptible, and even give rewards to all aspects, suppress those who do not know how to converge, and even deliberately give up, then most of these new science and technology scholars will follow the path that Zhao Junchen pointed out to them.

As the saying goes, "if there is something good at the top, there will be a lot of goodness at the bottom", and now Zhao Junchen is the "superior" of these new science and technology scholars, as long as Zhao Junchen shows some bias, then these new science and technology scholars will inevitably change whether they are sincere or false, even if they will still be greedy and bribe-taking, but at least they will know how to restrain their actions and decorate the façade.

For Zhao, this change is enough.

As long as their style can be a little more honest and create a good reputation for Zhao Junchen, coupled with Zhao Junchen's own business efforts, then there will naturally be more noble scholars willing to take refuge in Zhao Junchen in the future, which is a virtuous circle process, which may take a long time, but Zhao Junchen is not impatient with this.

It's just that before that, Zhao Junchen also needs to reduce the contact between these new science and technology scholars and other Zhao Party officials, so that they will not be lightly damaged by other Zhao Party officials, and only then can Zhao Junchen's hard work be in vain.

So, after pondering for a while, Zhao Junchen added: "Now that the palace examination is over, according to the will of His Majesty, you each have different official positions, here, I give you a promise, in the future, when you are an official, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can contact me directly, and I will try my best to solve it for you, and now in the court, there are many officials who are good friends with me, such as the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zuo Lanshan Zuo, the household servant Zhan Shan Chang Zhan, the general political envoy Si Tong Hengtong and so on, However, your current rank is a little different from theirs, and you are not familiar with it, and they have their own things to do, so you don't need to disturb them, and if there is anything that needs their help, I will naturally arrange it. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, a group of new science and technology scholars were overjoyed, with Zhao Junchen's guarantee, the rugged and dangerous road of officialdom has become a smooth road to heaven for them, so everyone didn't have the heart to think about the deep meaning of Zhao Junchen's decision for a while, but hurriedly thanked Zhao Junchen!

In fact, among the new scholars, only Zeng Wei can understand Zhao Junchen's deep meaning.

In doing so, Zhao Junchen obviously wanted to split the Zhao Party into two parts, one part was the "old Zhao Party" and the other was the "New Zhao Party", and the "New Zhao Party" would be relatively clean and honest under Zhao Junchen's deliberate guidance, and then after the "New Zhao Party" gradually grew, Zhao Junchen would gradually replace the "old Zhao Party" with the "New Zhao Party" and let the "New Zhao Party" become the real main force of the Zhao Party.

Thinking about this, Zeng Wei's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he only felt that his choice to take refuge in Zhao Junchen was indeed not wrong, Zhao Junchen had his own great ambitions, and he was not like other corrupt officials who only knew how to be corrupt and take bribes, and be mediocre!

So, Zeng Wei also learned from other new scholars at this time to salute and thank Zhao Junchen, but with a hint of admiration in his expression.

……

On this day, there was a tendency for the princelings to split, and the Zhao Party, which was the princeling's sworn enemy in the court, also showed a tendency to split.

It's just that although the two are also split, the former is uncontrolled because of differences of interest, and the latter is deliberately done for the sake of improving nature, and the profound meaning contained in it is very different!
