In the early days of the next dynasty, the officials of Zhao Junchen's faction, from Zuo Lanshan, Zhan Shanchang, Chen Dongxiang, Liu Changan and others, were all elated and red-faced.
West Factory! Supervisor of the West Factory!
Being in officialdom, they naturally know what this means!
From today on, although Zhao Junchen has not yet entered the cabinet, but with the right to supervise and arrest Xichang, his influence is enough to stand side by side with Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong, and even surpass it!
And they, the people of the "Zhao Party", will finally be able to go sideways in the government and the opposition in the future! Even the power-leaning auxiliary Zhou Shangjing, or the crown prince Zhu Heyu, I am afraid that they will not dare to target them at will in the future.
Although Emperor Deqing only asked Zhao Junchen to "temporarily concurrently" serve as the governor of the West Factory, but considering Emperor Deqing's favor to Zhao Junchen, and the West Factory was organized by Zhao Junchen, everyone knows that Emperor Deqing said this just to block Youyou's mouth, and Zhao Junchen is so "temporarily concurrent", I am afraid that he will have to serve for many years.
ā¦ā¦ā¦
But unlike the officials of Zhao Junchen's faction, the officials of other factions looked at Zhao Junchen at this time, but they were full of awe, for them, Xichang is almost synonymous with "persecution of the government and the opposition", Zhao Junchen is now in control of Xichang, how can they not be in awe?
However, no matter what the thoughts of the officials were, after Emperor Deqing left the Taihe Palace, in addition to the prince's party, which was full of hostility to Zhao Junchen, they still gathered around Zhao Junchen, either politely or flatteringly, and said all kinds of congratulations to Zhao Junchen.
In the face of the congratulations of the hundred officials, Zhao Junchen still showed a low-key abnormality, and humbly returned the courtesy to the officials around him, without the slightest arrogant and proud appearance.
It's just that the influence of a person's power is not based on whether he is arrogant or modest, but on what kind of authority he holds in his hands. At this time, Zhao Junchen, no matter how low-key and humble he was, the officials did not dare to underestimate him.
In fact, seeing that Zhao Junchen is still so low-key and humble, Zhao Junchen's image in the eyes of hundreds of officials has become more and more unfathomable.
Between the polite responses with the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China who had different thoughts, Zhao Junchen looked up and looked around, but saw that the officials of the prince's party were leaving with silent expressions under the leadership of the prince Zhu Heyu at this time.
And Zhou Shangjing, the cabinet assistant, was also supported by his own officials, slowly walked towards the outside of the Taihe Palace, and after noticing Zhao Junchen's gaze, his expression remained unchanged, and he still nodded to Zhao Junchen with a comfortable expression.
Then, the other two pavilion elders Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, but for some reason, they came to Zhou Shangjing's side by side, and after talking a few words, they left the Taihe Hall with Zhou Shangjing.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen subconsciously frowned slightly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the hundreds of officials left one after another, it didn't take long for the Taihe Hall to be the only officials of the "Zhao Party" faction.
It seems that he knows that Zhao Junchen will be very busy next, and Emperor Deqing has no intention of summoning him in private again.
After seeing that there was no one else, a group of "Zhao Party" officials gathered around Zhao Junchen, and many remarks dared to be put forward unscrupulously.
"Congratulations to Lord Zhao, in the future, we should call you Zhao Shangshu? Or is it the factory superintendent? Ha ha! From today on, those of us who have the protection of adults in the DPRK will no longer be afraid of anyone. Zuo Lanshan smiled very happily at this time, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he had the most respected status in the Zhao Party, and he was more casual in his speech.
"Yes, yes, it's just that you hide from us so hard, since you recovered from your illness, I have asked to see the adults many times, but the adults always avoid it, just send a secret letter, let me wait for a while, don't be impatient and wait for the opportunity, we people still think something big has happened, these days have been worrying, I didn't expect a big thing to be a big thing, but it's a big thing, I'm waiting here to congratulate the adult."
Zhan Shanchang, the head of the household, has always been the closest to Zhao Junchen, and he is also the most excited at this time.
"Since I met my lord in Lu'an Mansion, Xia Guan has always been convinced that the future of my lord must be limitless, and now I look at it, it is really so!" Liu Chang'an, the servant of the ministry, also hurriedly interjected, but he was reminding everyone that although he entered the center late, he was the first old man to take refuge in Zhao Junchen.
Li Lide, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was not far behind, and said: "Colleagues, but it is not Lord Zhao who deliberately conceals it, this time the secret preparation of the West Factory is the meaning of His Majesty, if I am not in the Criminal Department, I have some relevant experience, I am afraid that I will not know the news before my colleagues." However, now that the West Factory has finally been rebuilt, and Lord Zhao has also been appointed to the position of factory supervisor, it is not in vain that the officials have been busy these days. ā
When he spoke, Li Lide was proud, which was to explain to everyone that he had known about the reconstruction of the West Factory for a long time, and he had made a lot of efforts.
"What your lords said is very much, such a happy event, but it must be celebrated, the lower officials know that Lord Zhao you like the dishes of Tianhailou, today we will hold a banquet in Tianhailou, how about celebrating for your lordship?"
Gu Quan, the right deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, raised yƬ to celebrate, and received responses from the people around him.
On the other side, Chen Dongxiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, seized the opportunity to lean to Zhao Junchen's side and said loudly: "Lord Zhao is in charge of the world's money and grain, and now he has the power of the West Factory, and the support and support of these people such as me. If you want to talk about this next step, that is, find a way to enter the cabinet, if the adult can enter the cabinet, I am afraid that even Zhou Shangjing will have to avoid the adult for three points, I have to plan well for this matter, and do my best for the adult. ā
Chen Dongxiang is an extremely selfish person, although Zhao Junchen was able to bring down Wen Guanliang at the beginning, this Chen Dongxiang has made great contributions, but Zhao Junchen has always been uneasy about him, and Chen Dongxiang himself is not at ease in the "Zhao Party", and even ran his own small circle behind Zhao Junchen's back, and was beaten by Zhao Junchen several times.
But now, Zhao Junchen has the power of the West Factory, and his influence has risen sharply, but Chen Dongxiang no longer dares to have other thoughts, and at this time he is seizing an opportunity to curry favor with Zhao Junchen.
Chen Dongxiang's remarks were warmly cheered and responded to by a group of "Zhao Party" officials.
It's just that watching the "Zhao Party" everyone talk more and more happily, Zhao Junchen couldn't help frowning.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Zhao Junchen's hands pressed slightly, and he said in a calm voice: "Please listen to what this official says." ā
Seeing Zhao Junchen say this, all the "Zhao Party" officials kept silent, just looked at Zhao Junchen quietly, waiting for instructions.
Zhao Junchen looked around him, these officials in front of him are his support and influence in the court now, but unfortunately they are not good officials and clean officials, they are all corrupt officials and traitors.
Sighing softly, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked Zhan Shanchang: "Lord Zhan, do you still remember what I said to you on the day Wen Guanliang fell and lost power?" ā
Listening to Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Zhan Shanchang finally understood that Zhao Junchen was a little unhappy, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, you once said to the lower officials at that time, that is, 'do things in a high-profile manner, and be low-key'. ā
Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the surrounding officials: "Colleagues, I said this sentence to Lord Zhan at the beginning, and I want to mention it to you today. Now that I am in control of the West Factory, I can be regarded as a great increase in power, but because of this, I have become the first bird, which will cause hostility and suppression from other factions in the DPRK and China, have you noticed just now? The two elders, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, actually got together with Master Fu Zhou Shangjing and left together, you can guess, what are the three of them talking about now? ā
Seeing that the officials had different expressions and thoughtfulness, Zhao Junchen said again: "As the saying goes, 'the higher you climb, the heavier you fall', and now it is just like that." Since we are in the limelight, we might as well be low-key and humble, because we have the authority in our hands, no matter how low-key and humble we are, no one will dare to underestimate them, but we can also leave no handle, attract people's favor, reduce hostility, on the contrary, if we are rampant, it will make people look down on us, and even increase the hostility towards us, do you say this is the truth? ā
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, no matter what the "Zhao Party" officials thought in their hearts, whether they were really convinced or falsely obedient, but for a while, they all nodded their heads one after another, indicating that they were taught.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
When Zhao Junchen left the Forbidden City with the support of a group of friends, Wei Huai was now waiting outside the noon gate in a neat line with a group of stall leaders from the West Factory.
With the appearance of Zhao Junchen, the stall leaders of the West Factory did not hesitate, and knelt down to Zhao Junchen in unison.
"I've seen the factory superintendent!"
These stall leaders of the West Factory are all elite forbidden troops carefully selected by Zhao Junchen from the 26 guards in the capital, and at this time, between the salutes, the voice is fierce, the movements are capable, and the momentum is full, attracting the attention of people outside the noon gate.
is accustomed to the soft salute between civilian officials, and when he first saw such military etiquette, Zhao Junchen had a different feeling.
On the other side, Wei Huai, who was for that, also bowed to Zhao Junchen in a wheelchair, calling him "Lord Factory Supervisor".
Today's Wei Huai, doing things for Zhao Junchen, has regained his dignity and meaning, and he finally has a little more human appearance, but he still has a gloomy expression, which makes people look cold in their hearts.
"You're here?" Came to Wei Huai with a group of henchmen, motioned to all the people of Xichang to get up, frowned and asked: "Now that Your Majesty has just issued an order to rebuild Xichang, you have just come to the noon gate with such a crowd, it's too eye-catching, right?" ā
Wei Huai still looked gloomy, and replied slowly in his unique hoarse voice: "Lord Factory Governor, now the address of the West Factory Yamen has been selected, close to the Chengtian Gate, on the west side of the Thousand Steps Corridor, not far from the Jinyi Guard Yamen and the East Factory Yamen. Now the top and bottom of the West Factory are waiting for the instructions of the adults in the yamen, and the lowly people are here to lead the way for the adults. ā
"You're moving fast enough, but there are too many people leading the way, right?" After frowning and saying this, Zhao Junchen pointed at Wei Huai again and introduced to the officials around him: "His name is Wei Huai, the former Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi's pacification envoy, and now the head of the West Factory is his own person, you can get closer to him in the future." ā
It's just that although Zhao Junchen said it normally, the Zhao Party officials looked at Wei Huai's pale complexion, thin figure, and yin owl expression, like a poisonous snake-like temperament, but their expressions were a little unnatural.
However, Wei Huai's appearance is very compatible with the temperament of the personnel in the West Factory they imagined.
On the other side, hearing Zhao Junchen's introduction, Wei Huai only looked like Zhao Junchen in his eyes, and he didn't mean to get close to these Zhao Party officials in front of him, but just looked at the officials with gloomy eyes and remembered their appearances in his heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, it is said that on the east side of the Forbidden City, there is a very inconspicuous building called "Wenyuan Pavilion", and the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is located here.
Although the building is inconspicuous, it is here that determines the major events of the court and the trend of the country, and is the core of power in the Ming Dynasty. The biggest and most dream of countless officials in the Ming Dynasty is actually just to be able to have a place of their own here.
At the same time that Zhao Junchen was escorted to the Yamen of the West Factory under the escort of a group of Xichang stall leaders, the three elders in the cabinet, Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, were also discussing something here.
Huang Yourong sipped the fragrant tea in his hand, and said leisurely: "It's really a miscalculation, I didn't expect that Your Majesty would take advantage of He Ming's extermination case to rebuild the West Factory this time, and we didn't get any news, hey, Your Majesty is not a drunkard, we courtiers, the future will not be easy." ā
While speaking, Huang Yourong's expression seemed leisurely, but his eyes kept secretly looking at Fu Zhou Shangjing.
On the other side, Shen Changmao didn't make a detour, and asked Zhou Shangjing directly: "Although I don't know the news about these people, I'm afraid that Master Fu has already known it, right?" ā
After Zhou Shangjing was silent for a moment, he also picked up the tea cup in his hand, and changed his words, with a little old age and exhaustion in his voice, and said slowly: "From now on, we old guys will not be able to work with Junchen anymore." The old man once had a lot of hopes for Junchen, but he couldn't get rid of His Majesty's control, now it seems that the authority is heavier, but its dependence on the imperial power is also deeper, and now he can't stop, and we old men, but he is no longer a person all the way. ā
Huang Yourong saw Zhou Shangjing's words, his expression flashed with a little relief, and he said with a smile: "Yes, since ancient times, courtiers who are attached to the imperial power, even if they can get a moment of rampant, few can end well. ā
Shen Changmao snorted coldly and said: "The old man didn't think that this Zhao Junchen and a few of us were all the way, at the beginning, the three of us set up a situation for the prince with him, although Zhao Junchen also participated in the initial plan, but the specific implementation after that, he didn't have the slightest intention of joining, and he also tried to get rid of the relationship." ā
Zhou Shangjing didn't seem to be willing to go deeper on this topic, but asked Huang Yourong: "Speaking of the layout for the prince, Huang Ge Lao, how are you preparing over there?" ā
Huang Yourong said with a kind and harmless smile on his face: "Under the guidance of the old man's people, some people who have been displaced or even destroyed because of the preparations for the southern tour have rushed to the capital, with a total of no less than 100 people, and are preparing to sue the emperor. ā
Zhou Shangjing nodded and said slowly: "That's good, just in time for the Spring Festival to try, and I'm not afraid that things will not make a big fuss." The reason why the crown prince's position is stable is because of the protection of His Majesty, and secondly, because of his reputation as virtuous, but after this incident, it is enough to shake his foundation. It's a pity that He Ming's case of destroying the door came unfortunately, and the effect is afraid that it will be discounted, but ...... It's enough, too. ā
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the same time, in the prince's mansion, the prince's party gathered together and discussed all kinds of things that happened in the early dynasty today.
"Father and Emperor are too conniving at these traitors and thieves!" The prince's face was full of anger: "Give all the positions of the examiner of the current science examination to Zhou Shangjing's people, this is not enough, he even rebuilt the West Factory and appointed Zhao Junchen as the supervisor of the West Factory!" With a villain like Zhao Junchen and a bad reputation like Xichang, doesn't my father think that our Daming country is not messy enough? ! ā
The crown prince and the prince Xiao Wenruan frowned, and said in a trembling but stern voice: "Prince! Be careful! ā
Zhu Heyu was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that his remarks were inappropriate, and hurriedly confessed to Xiao Wenruan, and then sighed again, looking quite lost.
Seeing Zhu Heyu like this, Xiao Wenruan sat a little tired on the prince's chair specially configured for him, and said slowly: "Don't worry about the prince, what if Zhou Shangjing is tried in this department?" There is a subject every three years in the Spring Festival, and it is only one session of this subject, so I am afraid that Zhou Shangjing can monopolize the talents of my dynasty? I'll take it back next time. As for the affairs of the West Factory, there is no need to worry, although Zhao Junchen has become more powerful because of this, but there are more places where people are prone to mistakes and grasp the handle. What's more, I set up the West Factory twice, but they were all abolished in the end, and the two West Factory Supervisors did not end well, Prince, do you think this is an accident? Just be patient and watch. As a ruler, be patient and remember to remember. ā
Seeing the prince get up and salute him, indicating that he was taught, Xiao Wenruan sighed secretly.
There are some things he didn't say explicitly after all, but he just hoped that the prince would be able to understand them himself.
Emperor Deqing set up the West Factory, in fact, it may not be without the meaning of the prince, now the prince is hostile to many important ministers in the court, and the West Factory suppresses, the prince will succeed to the throne in the future will be more secure.
Moreover, although Xichang is powerful, it is the power in the hands of Emperor Deqing, and it will also be the power of the crown prince Zhu and Yu in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Wenruan will stop the prince in the early court.
"Old, old." Xiao Wen Ruan only said a few words, and he already felt physically exhausted, and couldn't help but think secretly: "It's a pity that Brother He Ming was killed, and my energy is not as good as before, once there is any accident, with the prince's temperament, what should I do?" However, I heard that Zhao Shancai, a talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, is a personal disciple of Brother He Ming, and he has obtained the true inheritance of Brother He Ming, or ......"
