With the end of the early dynasty, Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong's party struggle in this round finally came to an end temporarily, and the war stopped for a while.

Considering that Emperor Deqing is about to tour the south, Zhao Junchen will accompany him on the southern tour, and Huang Yourong will stay in Beijing to assist the government, and then the two sides will enter a period of armistice.

At least, before the end of Emperor Deqing's southern tour, the two sides will be patient for the time being, after all, Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong both know that Emperor Deqing has very high expectations for the next southern tour, and they don't dare to disturb Emperor Deqing's interest lightly.

…………

And this round of competition, on the surface, it is difficult to tell who wins and who loses.

Huang Yourong took advantage of the "Huai River Flood Case" to get rid of Zhao Junchen's cronies and officials in the Ministry of Industry and Household Affairs in one go, a total of 19 people, or demoted officials, or exiled, or imprisoned, all of them were the backbone of Zhao Junchen's disciples.

And Zhao Junchen was not to be outdone, and he suddenly bit back, which also made the two core figures under Huang Yourong's door - Yan Pengfei, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and Liu Quan'an, the inspector of the imperial history, suddenly fall and lose power, and were taken into custody pending trial.

As a result, in this competition, Zhao Junchen lost more cronies and officials, but he did not lose the core figures in the party; Although Huang Yourong's friends are only two, the status and influence of these two people are higher.

It seems that the two major factions have come and gone, and each has its own losses, which is comparable.

But in reality, this is not the case.

Although Zhao Junchen lost 19 cronies and officials in one go in the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, the highest official positions of these 19 people were only four or five grades, and the two major yamen of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry have always been Zhao Junchen's confining and basic position in the court. It was run by Zhao Junchen like an iron barrel and was as airtight as an iron bucket, so it was impossible for others to interfere, so these losses could be quickly made up, and even if other factions took the opportunity to mix sand into it, Zhao Junchen could easily squeeze out the sand.

But Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an. It is an important chess piece for Huang Yourong to maintain influence in the Three Law Divisions, and now that these two have lost their positions at the same time, it is difficult for Huang Yourong to find a replacement for them in a short period of time, plus the Three Law Divisions have always been intertwined and intricately intertwined by all forces, and it is not a place where Huang Yourong can do whatever he wants, which makes Huang Yourong's influence on the Three Law Divisions suddenly decrease a lot. And it is difficult to recover in a short period of time.

From this point of view, Huang Yourong still suffered more losses.

However, for Huang Yourong and his party, this time they had contacts and losses with Zhao Junchen in the competition, and finally ended the situation of being suppressed by Zhao Junchen one after another a few days ago and had no power to fight back at all, and slightly saved some morale and confidence. It's also a gain.

However, if we take into account that all of these things were secretly planned and promoted by Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen's "losses" were just a purge of Zhao Junchen's forces under his command by Huang Yourong, and it would not be an exaggeration for Huang Yourong to say that he was "completely defeated" this time - of course, not many people knew this, so in the eyes of the hundreds of officials in the court, the battle between Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong was still just a draw.

And this perception. is what Zhao Junchen is happy to see.

In officialdom, after reaching a certain level of position, it is a good thing to be underestimated.

…………

Also out of this view, after the end of the early dynasty, Huang Yourong and Zhao Junchen's friends were mostly in a somewhat complicated mood, half relaxed and half strict, Zhao Junchen's friends thought that they had finally defended the counterattack of Huang Yourong's faction and controlled the form, while Huang Yourong's friends thought that they had finally gained a firm foothold in the party struggle. Turned the tide around.

Relatively speaking, it is still more relaxed, after all, although the two major factions have their own losses in the conflict, it is not themselves who have been lost. What's more, with the southern tour of Emperor Deqing, the party struggle was suspended. They can also be a lot more relaxed.

Therefore, after the next dynasty, when Zhao Junchen just walked out of the Taihe Palace, his main friends, such as Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhan Shanchang, the servant of the Ministry of Households, Liu Chang'an, the waiter of the Ministry of Justice, Li Lide, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Chen Dongxiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, the right deputy inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Shi Gu Quan, the political envoy Tong Huan and others, have gathered around Zhao Junchen, and they are full of admiration and compliments.

Today, Zhao Junchen took control of the early dynasty, not only blocked Huang Yourong's further counterattack, but also made Huang Yourong lose Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an, the means can be described as superb, so that they were relieved in their hearts, but they would not let go of this opportunity to flatter Zhao Junchen.

"Good means, adults!" Zhan Shanchang was the first to open his mouth and complimented: "This time, because of the 'Huai River Flood Case', we lost nearly 20 cronies and officials in the Ministry of Household and Industry in one go, and that's it, but the lower officials were afraid that they would implicate us people because of this, but I didn't expect that your lordship would actually plan it, arrange for them to confess and then retract their confessions in court, but it was Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an who also lost their official positions, and let Huang Yourong and them steal chickens and rice, such a subtle means, Xia Guan is really admired!" ”

Zuo Lanshan smiled and said, "Oh? Lord Zhan, are you worried about this? I have been convinced of Lord Zhao's methods from the very beginning, after Lord Zhao assured us yesterday, I firmly believe that Lord Zhao will be able to protect us, this morning, Lord Zhao turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, so that I admired Lord Zhao's methods, but also became more and more confident in the future of our people. ”

"That's right, speaking of which, we are more profitable this time, those officials who were impeached by Huang Yourong and them are not a good thing to hide from us in private, and it is not a good thing to keep them sooner or later, it is good to get rid of them by Huang Yourong's hand, but it is Huang Yourong who lost Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an, these two people are his cronies. As long as we follow Lord Zhao, what are we afraid of in the future? Tong Huan also nodded again and again.

Relatively speaking, among the people, Li Lide, the waiter of the Criminal Department, is the happiest, although he and Yan Pengfei are both the waiters of the Criminal Department, they have been suppressed by Yan Pengfei, and now Zhao Junchen has completely defeated Yan Pengfei, which makes Li Lide feel that the sky is high and the sea is wide. So he also said: "Yes, speaking of which, because of the 'Huai River Flood Case', we can't afford to lose anything this time, but after all, the losses are only some middle-level officials below." Under the counterattack of Lord Zhao, Huang Yourong lost a squire and an inspector Yushi, and his influence in the Three Law Divisions will be reduced a lot in the future, even if he wants to fight back in the future, it will be difficult to threaten us. ”

Liu Changan also said: "It's a pity that His Majesty is about to tour the south next." It's not good for us to have another conflict at this time, otherwise with Lord Zhao leading us to pursue the victory, we may not be able to defeat Huang Yourong's party in one go, and at that time, we will not be afraid of anyone in the DPRK! Even if it is Fu Zhou Shangjing, he must give us three points of courtesy"

Although Liu Changan now serves as a servant of the ministry. But because the most important yamen of the Ministry of Officials has always been Zhou Shangjing's territory, he naturally will not let Liu Quan'an, Zhao Junchen's cronies and friends, control the real power, and now Liu Changan has already been hollowed out in the Ministry of Officials, so he has a deep grudge against Zhou Shangjing, and very much expects Zhao Junchen to break hands with Zhou Shangjing.

But among Zhao Junchen's friends, Gu Quan served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he was more cautious. But he said thoughtfully: "However, this time, although we relied on Lord Zhao's means to control the people, and did not let Huang Yourong take advantage of them under the counterattack, but the 'Huai River Flood Case' is such a thing, after all, it is better not to regenerate!" According to the lower officials, Huang Yourong and his faction were originally pressed by us, but they suddenly found a lot of conclusive evidence of the 'Huai River Flood Case', and therefore had the means to fight back, which is really strange. You must know that this matter was hidden from us by the people below, and we didn't even know about it! So let's investigate this matter and see how the matter leaked out, otherwise the lower officials are really unsure. ”

After hearing Gu Quan's words, Chen Dongxiang, who had been silent, showed a strange look - but after hesitating for a moment. After all, he didn't interject, just silently followed everyone to the noon gate.

…………

Zhao Junchen didn't need these compliments, but Zhao Junchen also knew that although he didn't need them, his friends did--this was a major means of contacting friendship in the officialdom, and if he didn't accept it, it would make his friends feel uneasy, thinking that Zhao Junchen was dissatisfied with them.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen just listened with a smile, and after everyone said the good and obedient again, Zhao Junchen diverted the topic.

"As you said, although we and Huang Yourong have their own losses this time, we didn't let him bargain, and the advantage is still on our side." Zhao Junchen said lightly: "However, if we want to turn our advantage into a victory, we can't be careless." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's face was solemn, and all his friends followed Yan SΓΉ a little.

"So, after you return to your respective yamen, don't relax, we still have a lot of things to do." Zhao Junchen's expression was full of calmness, and he methodically instructed the group of friends: "This time we have suffered a lot of losses after all, especially the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, which lost nineteen officials in one go, all of whom are the backbone of our two yamen, and their positions are now vacant, but they also need to be filled as much as possible, otherwise they will be preempted by other factions." Zuo Shangshu, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, how to fill in the Ministry of Industry, I will not overstep the bounds, I will leave it all to you, I only have one principle, the officials of the Ministry of Industry who make up for it must put their ability first, and they must not be as greedy and lack of restraint as their predecessors, otherwise they will only fall into the hands of others like this time and cause trouble to our people. ”

Seeing Zuo Lanshan nodding and agreeing, Zhao Junchen instructed Zhan Shanchang again: "Lord Zhan, speaking of which, since you came to the Ministry of Household as a waiter, you have not been in charge of anything, and I will hand over the vacant positions in the Ministry of Household to you this time, how to fill the vacant positions, you and Jiang Qian will discuss it together, the principle is the same as that of the Ministry of Industry, the officials who make up for it take ability first, and their character should not be too bad." ”

Hearing that Zhao Junchen handed over such a big benefit to himself, Zhan Shanchang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded again and again.

Then, Zhao Junchen turned his head to look at Li Lide again, and ordered: "Li Shilang, now that Yan Pengfei has been dismissed and taken into custody, it is your great opportunity, if there is no accident, Yan Pengfei's guilt is inevitable, and Feng Po, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is too old to be used, and secondly, he has been reusing Yan Pengfei all these years, and he will not be able to escape the involvement, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit down in the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, this is your opportunity, you must also take advantage of it, and make some achievements during this time." And do your best to receive Yan Pengfei's power and influence, and I will naturally fight for you for the position of Shangshu next. ”

Li Lide was also overjoyed, and also patted his chest again and again to promise not to mention it.

"And Gu Quan, Liu Quan'an's influence in the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been not small. He is now dismissed and detained along with Yan Pengfei, as the right deputy inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you should also take the opportunity to make a difference and expand our influence in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is very important, and the greater our influence. The better things will be in the future......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is also Liu Changan, I also know that you have been wronged in the ministry, but don't be too anxious, sooner or later I will find it back for you, but don't sit back in the ministry, and after you go back, check the official position changes of the various yamen in recent days. Especially those local political envoys, we are competing with Huang Yourong Hebang this time, I am always worried that Zhou Shangjing wants to make a profit, but we can't be too cheap for him. ”

With Zhao Junchen's continuous instructions, he was clear and thoughtful, and more or less gave many benefits and promises to his friends, and everyone admired and thanked Zhao Junchen. I just feel like I'm with the right person.

And Zhao Junchen did this, naturally he had the intention of further winning people's hearts and showing favor to his friends.

Yesterday morning, Huang Yourong's party's counterattack can be described as both sudden and violent, although under Zhao Junchen's post-control, in the end, stealing chickens and rice, but Zhao Junchen's friends, I am afraid that they are still apprehensive, and even question Zhao Junchen's decision to take the initiative to provoke this party dispute.

After all, this party fight so far. It has not brought any benefits to these friends of Zhao Junchen.

Don't look at the constant compliments they made to Zhao Junchen just now, as if they were completely convinced, but the flattery in officialdom is often the most false thing in the world, and Zhao Junchen will not take it seriously.

Next. Emperor Deqing is about to tour the south, and then Zhao Junchen will accompany him to the south, and Huang Yourong will stay in Beijing to assist the government, and no one knows what will happen at that time. Although Zhao Junchen has already had a countermeasure to this, he also needs to appease his friends in advance, and they will betray Zhao Junchen lightly under Huang Yourong's coercion and temptation.

The so-called friends are maintained by interests.

So, at this time, it is also necessary to promise them some benefits first.

…………

At the same time, Huang Yourong also left the Taihe Hall with the support of a group of friends.

Relatively speaking, they were defeated by Zhao Junchen under the condition that they originally had an advantage, and lost two main figures, at this time, compared with Zhao Junchen's party, their feelings were more depressed, and their expressions were more dignified.

Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Cheng, the young master, Huo Zhengyuan, the university scholar, and others were surrounding Huang Yourong, saying something, maybe comforting, maybe cheering, or maybe coming up with ideas.

But for this qiΔ“, Huang Yourong didn't listen to it, just a blank face, his expression was very strange, not like anger, not like frustration, of course, it has nothing to do with joy and happiness.

In fact, since Emperor Deqing issued an order to detain Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an, Huang Yourong has always had such an expression without any change.

Since the start of the party struggle with Zhao Junchen, Huang Yourong has always had a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and it has become more and more intense.

Originally, Huang Yourong thought that this sense of uneasiness was due to the party struggle with Zhao Junchen, after all, Zhao Junchen now has the strength to defeat him.

But after today's early dynasty, after seeing the attitude and position of Emperor Deqing, Huang Yourong suddenly appeared, the sense of uneasiness in his heart did not come from Zhao Junchen - no matter how powerful Zhao Junchen was, but after all, he had not yet entered the cabinet, Huang Yourong was the elder of the cabinet, the maker of order and policy, and his identity was natural, even if he failed in the party struggle, he would be able to recover sooner or later - the sense of unease in Huang Yourong's heart actually came from Emperor Deqing!

This morning, Emperor Deqing's attitude seems to be impartial, but when you think about it carefully, there is a big problem!

First of all, when Liu Quan'an impeached Zhao Junchen's "Nine Deadly Sins", he was suddenly interrupted by Emperor Deqing's words, and Emperor Deqing seemed to be angry at that time, but in fact it interrupted Huang Yourong's party's attack on Zhao Junchen, and alleviated the unfavorable situation of Zhao Junchen at that time - if Liu Quan'an read Zhao Junchen's "Nine Deadly Sins" one by one at that time, the atmosphere of the morning court would definitely be completely different!

Then, Emperor Deqing left Zhao Junchen room to defend and attack, and blocked the opportunity for Huang Yourong and his party to interject during the period, so that Zhao Junchen could calmly counterattack Huang Yourong and his party!

In the end, when Zhao Junchen's faction impeached Liu Quan'an and Yan Pengfei in turn, Emperor Deqing suddenly lost his attitude and just let the ministers discuss, but this kind of discussion was actually so that Zhao Junchen and his party could complete their plan step by step!

It can be said that in today's early court, Emperor Deqing seems to have a neutral attitude, but as the controller of the rhythm of the court, he has been secretly helping Zhao Junchen and secretly suppressing Huang Yourong.

In fact, Huang Yourong is very familiar with Emperor Deqing's means of "helping" and "suppressing", but in the past, it was Huang Yourong who was secretly helped, and it was Fu Zhou Shangjing who was secretly suppressed!

But now, Huang Yourong is now, and his position in the eyes of Emperor Deqing seems to have changed.

This change is also the real source of the uneasiness in Huang Yourong's heart!
