Chapter 879. Emperor Deqing's precautions.

……

……

However, he said that after the discussion between the monarchs and ministers ended, the ministers left the imperial study one after another, and Emperor Deqing's originally majestic and calm expression suddenly became gloomy.

I have to say that Zhou Shangjing is indeed a master of eye medicine, and his words did pierce a thorn in the heart of Emperor Deqing, and it was very deep!

In fact, even without Zhou Shangjing's hints, Emperor Deqing could sense that he was gradually unable to control Zhao Junchen.

Before Zhao Junchen left Beijing, Zhao Junchen's power was getting higher and higher, and there were more and more friends, but Emperor Deqing didn't care much in his heart, after all, Zhao Junchen's foundation was unstable, his qualifications were insufficient, and his reputation was also very poor, and Emperor Deqing naturally had countless ways to deal with him, and at that time, Zhao Junchen never showed his intention to disobey Emperor Deqing.

Moreover, when Zhao Junchen stayed in the capital, there was the suppression of Emperor Deqing above, the constraints of several powerful ministers around him, and countless eyes staring at him below, he could only make a small fuss, and he was completely unable to fundamentally reverse the situation.

But after Zhao Junchen left Beijing this time, he was quite a bit of a tiger out of the meaning - the tiger about Shengzhong, no matter how fierce and strong, it is just an ornamental pet, and there is not much difference from the house cat, but if the tiger is released from the cage and returned to the mountains, then the tiger will soon recover the demeanor of the king of the mountains and forests.

During this period of time, Zhao Junchen's means of acting and ambition and courage seemed to be a different person in the eyes of Emperor Deqing - Emperor Deqing never knew that Zhao Junchen still had the courage to make decisions on the spot, cut first and then play, nor did he know that Zhao Junchen still had the ability to lead troops to fight and kill the enemy, and he never thought that Zhao Junchen would take the initiative to wade into the troubled waters of Shaanxi and Gansu!

The most important thing is that Zhao Junchen's several slashes and then preludes obviously reveal his intention to break away from the control of Emperor Deqing!

In just one month, Zhao Junchen has accomplished many major things - he has stopped the cowardice of the governors of the northwest, stabilized the defense of Shaanxi and Gansu, and even gained a lot of military achievements, thus accumulating political capital that people cannot ignore!

During this period, Zhao Junchen's various methods were certainly a little excessive, and also caused a lot of controversy, which seemed to have left many handles and flaws, but in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, it was naturally possible to see that these flaws and handles were all handed over by Zhao Junchen on his own initiative, just to delay time and paralyze the center of the court.

If you wait until Zhao Junchen successfully realizes the plan, exterminates the Mongol coalition army, or even recovers the Hetao area, he will become the first hero of the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years, and he is destined to be famous in history and famous all over the world.

In this case, it will be very difficult for Emperor Deqing to deal with Zhao Junchen in the future, and it will inevitably be a situation where the tail is too big to fall, just like Zhou Shangjing, people have nowhere to start.

In fact, Emperor Deqing now wants to make a stern decree and immediately forcibly recall Zhao Junchen to the capital, if Zhao Junchen is allowed to stay in Shaanxi and Gansu to exert his hands and feet, no one knows what big things Zhao Junchen will do!

But for Emperor Deqing, the temptation to recover the Hetao is too great, and it has always been taboo to change commanders in battle, so Emperor Deqing can only grit his teeth and continue to let Zhao Junchen go for a while.

However, it was obviously impossible for Emperor Deqing to let Zhao Junchen go for too long, and Emperor Deqing had secretly made up his mind in his heart that once the situation in the northwest provinces was stabilized or Liang Fuchen's illness was cured, he would immediately summon Zhao Junchen back to Beijing!

At the same time, in order to prevent Zhao Junchen from completely getting out of control in the future, Emperor Deqing must also take precautions and make some arrangements in advance, try to weaken Zhao Junchen's influence and secretly suppress Zhao Junchen's rising momentum!

"I have always thought that Zhao Junchen is just an ordinary corrupt official and courtier, although he is good at financial management, but he is short-sighted, ordinary means, and his cowardly personality does not dare to disobey me at all, and it is not enough to be afraid, so I can let him expand his power, and even help him attack each other with the major factions of the imperial court many times, but looking at his various practices after leaving Beijing, it is obvious that these are just his disguises, but I didn't expect this person's city government to be so deep, he has hidden it from me for so long!"

Thinking of this, Emperor Deqing secretly gritted his teeth, his expression became more and more gloomy, he only felt that he had been fooled, and the idea of suppressing Zhao Junchen in his heart became more and more intense.

"From now on, we must not continue to let Zhao Junchen expand his power, we must suppress him, if he is allowed to continue to expand his power, wouldn't he become the second Zhou Shangjing? Considering his age, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with than Zhou Shangjing in the future! After the funeral day, how can the new emperor still control the temple? ”

"Looking at Zhao Junchen's attitude, he seems to be very sure of the total annihilation of the Mongol army and the recovery of the Hetao area...... Therefore, I must take action to weaken the power of his henchmen in the capital before he can make a meritorious deed......"

“…… Speaking of Zhao Junchen's henchmen, Zhan Shanchang, the household servant, has been with him for the longest time and is the core figure in the 'Zhao Party', but since the rise of Zhao Junchen, the remaining core figures of the 'Zhao Party' have either been promoted to official positions or have gained a fat difference, but only this person has not received too many benefits...... I have also noticed in the past few days that because of Zhao Junchen's various controversial practices, hundreds of officials have played to impeach Zhao Junchen, and the officials of the 'Zhao Party' naturally tried their best to defend Zhao Junchen, but only Zhan Shanchang's performance was not very enthusiastic, obviously he was dissatisfied with Zhao Junchen in his heart, and it seemed that he could become a breakthrough...... I originally planned to use Zuo Lanshan to split the 'Zhao Party', but now that Zuo Lanshan doesn't have the courage to confront Zhao Junchen at all, I just hope that this Zhan Shanchang will not disappoint me......"

"In addition, if Zhao Junchen is really ambitious, during the period when he presides over the military administration of Shaanxi and Gansu, there will inevitably be some small moves, either to recruit the Peng Party, or to buy the hearts of the soldiers, and the 'new army of soldiers' he formed obviously wants to meddle in the military power, but he has to guard against ......"

"Also, I appointed Zhao Junchen as the deputy envoy of the plenipotentiary mission this time, although it is an expedient measure and a last resort, under the current situation, I must give him an official title, but it is also to use this status to reduce his meritorious glory, after all, Liang Fuchen is the minister with all powers, even if Zhao Junchen annihilates the Mongol army and recovers the Hetao region with his own strength, his apparent identity is only Liang Fuchen's deputy, and even if Liang Fuchen does not make any effort, he can take half of his credit...... But after all, my appointment is a little late, and after such an appointment is passed to Shaanxi and Gansu, Zhao Junchen may have annihilated the Mongol army, and if Liang Fuchen is forcibly given half of the merits at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the officials and people of the government and the opposition, so I must build momentum for Liang Fuchen in advance...... It is best to hide the matter of Liang Fuchen's serious illness, so that everyone thinks that Zhou Shangjing is the person who has presided over the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu during this time......"

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Deqing finally had a rough plan in his heart.

Emperor Deqing didn't notice it, and the jealousy and importance he attached to Zhao Junchen in his heart were almost the same as Zhou Shangjing.

Then, Emperor Deqing slowly raised his head and issued an order to Zhang De, the great eunuch beside him: "Spread my will, let the two factories and one guard send additional personnel to all parts of Shaanxi and Gansu as soon as possible, and carefully investigate all the things that have happened in Shaanxi and Gansu recently, no matter how big or small, they must be reported to me in detail...... Sent an edict to the celebrant and asked them to collect all the notes of the impeachment of Zhao Junchen and Zhao Junchen's friends by the hundred officials of the imperial court in recent times and give them to me for review...... After tomorrow morning, I will send someone to summon Zhan Shanchang, the servant of the household department, to come to the imperial study to see me......

After hearing Emperor Deqing's instructions, Zhang De naturally guessed that Emperor Deqing was going to deal with Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly, and he bowed down and said, "The slave understands, let's go and arrange it!" ”
