"So, Zhou Lu, what do you think of Zhao Junchen?"

Zhou Lu was thinking about the truths that Zhou Shangjing had just mentioned, and when he heard Zhou Shangjing's sudden change of topic, he couldn't help but be stunned.

But Zhou Lu is a smart person after all, and after thinking about it, he quickly understood what Zhou Shangjing meant.

"Master Fu, do you mean ......" Zhou Lu asked hesitantly: "This Zhao Junchen didn't find his position in the officialdom?" ”

Zhou Shangjing shook his head and said, "It's not that he didn't find his position, but he didn't find his position at all." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shangjing's expression actually showed a little regret: "This Zhao Junchen, since he came back from the disaster relief in Lu'an Mansion, his personality has changed greatly, he is not as arrogant and domineering as before, he has not only learned to forbear and the city, but also has the means and scheming that should not be underestimated, but in just a few months, he has formed his own faction in the court, and his power and influence have increased greatly, which is really remarkable......"

After a pause, Zhou Shangjing sighed and said, "However, for the old man, it is easier to deal with him. In the past, Zhao Junchen, although he was just a favored minister in front of His Majesty, except for the means of financial management, he didn't have any other skills, but if the old man wanted to deal with him, he would immediately attract His Majesty's protection and intervention, and he couldn't do it for a while; On the contrary, now, he seems to have grown in power, but with the things he has done these days, as long as the old man provokes a little, I am afraid that when the time comes, he will not need the old man to do it himself, and His Majesty will be the first to let him go! ”

Zhou Lu couldn't help but agree, nodded and smiled: "What Lord Fu said is very true, this Zhao Junchen, although his power has risen sharply in recent days, he has been promoted to the head of the household, has the power of Xichang, and has also recruited many henchmen, but in the end, all of this is still relying on His Majesty's support for him, but he and His Majesty are not of the same mind, he has done a lot of all kinds of things that are contrary to Yin and Yang, and he has also dealt with the prince with Lord Fu and several other elders, if these things let His Majesty know, I'm afraid this Zhao Junchen will end up worryingly. ”

Hearing Zhou Lu say this, Zhou Shangjing finally nodded in agreement, and said lightly: "This is Zhao Junchen, he can't grasp his position, and he is vacillating between the power of the minister and the imperial power. If he positions himself as a favored minister who is attached to the imperial power and works for His Majesty wholeheartedly, then at least before His Majesty dies, he will be rich and worry-free, even if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, considering his support, even if the prince dislikes Zhao Junchen, he will leave some of his descendants, so that his Zhao family will not be cut off. ”

Shaking his head, Zhou Shangjing continued: "If he is unwilling to be subject to His Majesty today, and is worried that he will be killed by the prince in the future, then he should get rid of the imprint of imperial power on his body as soon as possible, and instead rely on the power of the ministers, and advance and retreat together with the hundreds of officials in the court. On the one hand, Cheng Yuandao, who supported the prince's party under the instruction of His Majesty, entered the cabinet, which seemed to please both sides, but in fact offended both sides. ”

Zhou Lu nodded and added: "Yes, according to the information I have got, since Zhao Junchen became the supervisor of the West Factory, the relationship between the other two pavilion elders and him has gradually become estranged, and after Zhao Junchen supported Cheng Yuandao to enter the cabinet the day before yesterday, the two pavilion elders were even more dissatisfied, and they said a lot of Zhao Junchen's gossip behind their backs. ”

Zhou Shangjing smiled and said: "This is inevitable, the Xichang Cun Zài itself is a shackle of imperial power on the necks of hundreds of officials in the court, Zhao Junchen has become the governor of the Xichang factory, how can Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao's two old guys not guard against Zhao Junchen?" As for Cheng Yuandao's entry into the cabinet, Zhao Junchen directly offended them...... In the past, Zhao Junchen, before the power was completed, wanted to meet the source left and right, and curry favor in the cracks, no one would care, but now Zhao Junchen's power has gradually become bigger, and the previous cracks are no longer able to tolerate him at all, and then like in the past, the snakes and mice in the cracks will only make everyone feel uncomfortable, not only Huang Yourong Shen Changmao and them, but also His Majesty, these days for the prince's various changes, has made His Majesty a little guarded against him, and the Luo family's descendants are sent to the West Factory to do things, which is proof. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of essence flashed in Zhou Shangjing's eyes, his voice was low, and he said slowly: "Actually, not to mention His Majesty, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, they feel uncomfortable...... Now even the old man and I feel a little uncomfortable......"

…………

If Zhou Shangjing is uncomfortable, then the person who makes Zhou Shangjing uncomfortable will definitely be unlucky.

At least, in Zhou Lu's view, this is a truth, and there has never been an exception for decades.

Thinking like this, Zhou Lu couldn't help but sigh a little for Zhao Junchen.

In fact, not long ago, Zhou Shangjing still admired Zhao Junchen, and even had plans to cooperate, and personally mentioned Zhao Junchen's question about the position of the camp.

However, Zhao Junchen has never been able to get rid of Emperor Deqing's control, but unconsciously, he has become more attached to Emperor Deqing.

If that's all it takes, that's all, but while Zhao Junchen is attached to Emperor Deqing, he also helps Emperor Deqing expand his imperial power and suppress the power represented by Zhou Shangjing!

Since Zhao Junchen became the secretary of the household department, the money and grain of the household department have been controlled by Emperor Deqing at will, and Zhou Shangjing, the cabinet assistant, is difficult to intervene; And after Zhao Junchen served as the governor of the West Factory, he directly expanded the power of the factory guard in the hands of Emperor Deqing, not to mention that Zhao Junchen was forced by Emperor Deqing to support Cheng Yuandao's entry into the cabinet.

Therefore, as Zhou Shangjing said, Zhao Junchen's current existence has made him a little uncomfortable.

In fact, Zhou Shangjing also understood in his heart that Zhao Junchen did this most of the time as a last resort, and with Emperor Deqing's methods, Zhao Junchen would never be able to escape the control of Emperor Deqing.

But it is clear that the position is the position, Zhou Shangjing, as the representative of the ministers, cannot watch the imperial power gradually rise, and finally completely suppress the ministers.

A few days ago, Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen cooperated to deal with the crown prince, and before the shape was decided, Zhou Shangjing was still forbearing, and he would not deliberately target Zhao Junchen.

But now, the layout for the prince has been completed, and it doesn't make much difference whether there is Zhao Junchen or not, so Zhou Shangjing's attention has finally shifted to Zhao Junchen!

…………

On the other hand, after listening to Zhou Shangjing's words, Zhou Lu finally understood why Zhou Shangjing had always been silent, but today he talked so much to him.

As an old man in Zhou's mansion, Zhou Lu is very clear about some of Zhou Shangjing's habits.

Whenever Zhou Shangjing wants to deal with someone sincerely, there will be more verbal discussions with the people around him.

In this way, even if the person doing the work understands Zhou Shangjing's thoughts, it is also for Zhou Shangjing to clear his mind.

Therefore, Zhou Lu didn't say anything more, but just asked, "Master Fu, what do you want to do?" ”

During the inquiry, Zhou Lu himself was also thinking about how to deal with Zhao Junchen.

After all, Zhao Junchen's current power and influence are not small, and it is not so easy to deal with him.

Reveal to Emperor Deqing that Zhao Junchen framed the crown prince? I'm afraid not, Zhou Shangjing is also involved in this matter, once it is exposed, everyone will be in trouble, but they will help the prince Zhu and Yu get out.

used Chu Jiayi's identity to make a fuss, saying that Zhao Junchen harbored Qin criminals? No, after all, King Gong'an's case was handled by Zhao Junchen himself, and Emperor Deqing would not suspect Zhao Junchen because of this, as long as Zhao Junchen said that he didn't know Chu Jiayi's identity, there would be no trouble.

Impeachment of Zhao Junchen for taking bribes and forming a party**? I'm afraid it's even more impossible, the crown prince Zhu Heyu has already used these charges to impeach Zhao Junchen countless times, but in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, these are just small sections, and they don't care at all, and they don't hinder Zhao Junchen in the slightest.

……

After thinking about all the methods, Zhou Lu suddenly appeared, although according to Zhou Shangjing's description just now, Zhao Junchen seemed to be very easy to deal with, and he was completely precarious, but in fact, Zhao Junchen knew how to do things very well, and was quite cautious, although he had done a lot of things, he did not leave any flaws, and if he wanted to deal with him, he had nowhere to go for a while!

couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Zhao Junchen.

In such a dark thought, Zhou Lu shook his head lightly, no longer thinking about it, but just listened carefully to Zhou Shangjing's instructions.

Zhou Lu knew that although he couldn't do anything about Zhao Junchen, Zhou Shangjing was different.

Although it was refuted by Zhou Shangjing before, Zhou Lu still believes that Zhou Shangjing's mental means are definitely the first in the dynasty.

Sure enough, Zhou Shangjing already had a way in his heart, and after hearing Zhou Lu's inquiry, he just said lightly: "Zhao Junchen is now being leaned on by His Majesty's arm, but he can't knock him down in one breath, otherwise it will only attract a backlash from His Majesty...... Let's test it first, and by the way, we will separate some of the relationship between Zhao Junchen and His Majesty. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Shangjing raised his head slightly and confirmed to Zhou Lu: "I heard that refugees from all over the country who came to Beijing to file a complaint have been relieved by the porridge shed opened by 'Yuerong Fang' on the road?" ”

Zhou Lu nodded and said: "That's the case, if it weren't for the relief of these 'Yuerong Fang's porridge sheds, I'm afraid that many refugees would have starved to death on the way to Beijing." ”

Zhou Shangjing smiled lightly and said: "It seems that this Zhao Junchen's change of heart is greater than I imagined, he is much softer than before, and he cares more about his reputation than before." ”

After a pause, Zhou Shangjing's voice was slightly cold, and he said slowly: "In this case, we might as well help a group of Zhao Junchen, you immediately send someone to spread some rumors among those refugees, just say that although the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are unwilling to accept their cases, Zhao Junchen and the prince have always been hostile, and they will definitely make decisions for them. ”

Listening to Zhou Shangjing's instructions, Zhou Lu couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Master Fu, what are you doing ......?" ”

Zhou Shangjing's voice was even colder: "Think about it, the crown prince is now discredited because of these refugees, but Zhao Junchen has established a good reputation through these refugees, what will his majesty think?" What will you think of Zhao Junchen? Even, did His Majesty allow Zhao Junchen to reverse his bad reputation? ”

Zhou Lu's eyes lit up, and he bowed down and said, "Master Fu is clever!" ”
