……

Although Huang Yourong is a little arrogant and his methods are not clever, he can become an old man in the court, and he is not a stupid person.

In fact, Huang Yourong has long seen his position in the court very clearly.

If it is said that the situation in the court is like chess, then in the past 20 years, there are only two people who can be called chess players in the Manchu Dynasty - that is Emperor Deqing and cabinet assistant Zhou Shangjing.

As for the others, no matter how powerful they are, no matter how high or low they are, they are just a pawn in the eyes of the two of them.

Although Huang Yourong is a pavilion elder, it is the same!

For Emperor Deqing, Huang Yourong was just a chess piece that could be used to balance Fu Zhou Shangjing.

Therefore, Emperor Deqing has been secretly supporting and sheltering Huang Yourong in recent years, which is to prevent Zhou Shangjing's power from being too inflated and the situation in the court out of his control.

For Fu Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong is also just a chess piece that can be used to confuse Emperor Deqing.

Therefore, Zhou Shangjing and Huang Yourong are fighting in the dark, no matter how much he has the upper hand, he will never kill them all, this is to avoid the formation of his own family dominance in the court, which will make Emperor Deqing more scruples and suspicions.

But in any case, Huang Yourong is just a chess piece - maybe a more important chess piece, but no matter how important the chess piece is, it is just a chess piece after all!

In this regard, Huang Yourong will naturally not be reconciled!

Therefore, Huang Yourong has always been crazy about fighting for power and profit over the years, and he will do his best to fight for any yamen, any authority, or any official position, and he is the most greedy one among several cabinet elders.

In a way, Huang Yourong and Zhao Junchen have the same goal. They all urgently need more power and influence in order to reverse their fate as a pawn.

However, although Huang Yourong was reluctant to admit it, his scheming, methods, and city government were compared with Emperor Deqing and Fu Zhou Shangjing. It's really far from each other, and no matter how much he struggles, he still can't resist.

Huang Yourong is not a firm-minded person, after continuous setbacks, after showing that no matter how hard he tries, he doesn't know when to start. Huang Yourong began to gradually accept the reality that he was just a chess piece.

Then, Huang Yourong appeared, and the chess pieces also had the benefits of chess pieces - Emperor Deqing would protect him, and Zhou Shangjing would also show mercy to his subordinates, and he could compete for power and profit openly without worrying about defeat and revenge - such a life can actually be very nourishing and comfortable.

It's just that deep in Huang Yourong's heart, there has always been some kind of fear and worry - chess pieces. After all, it is just a chess piece, and once it loses its use value, it will be abandoned at any time!

…………

And now, Huang Yourong's fear and worry seems to have finally become a reality!

In today's early dynasty, Emperor Deqing has been secretly helping Zhao Junchen - this is not surprising, after all, Emperor Deqing has been the most favored by Zhao Junchen over the years. And Emperor Deqing is inseparable from Zhao Junchen's financial management skills for the time being-Huang Yourong has long expected this.

But Emperor Deqing secretly helped Zhao Junchen, but he watched Huang Yourong's power suffer, and allowed Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an to be taken into custody pending trial, which is very worthy of scrutiny.

Emperor Deqing should have continued to protect Huang Yourong! If Huang Yourong's power in the court is greatly damaged, then how else can he check and balance Fu Zhou Shangjing? If Huang Yourong can't check and balance Zhou Shangjing, wouldn't the balance of power between the major factions in the imperial court be broken?

Some time ago, another henchman of Huang Yourong, Tang Zheng, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, lost his position under the impeachment of Zhao Junchen's faction, and he could barely find some reasons, after all, Zhao Junchen acted suddenly. He was well prepared, and even Emperor Deqing had no way to turn the situation around.

But this time, the reason why Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an were taken into custody pending trial, although the main reason was still Zhao Junchen's insidious and vicious methods, if it weren't for Emperor Deqing's secret fueling the trouble. Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an would never lose their positions so lightly.

Obviously, Emperor Deqing's attitude and positioning towards Huang Yourong have quietly changed!

What does this mean, Huang Yourong has been up and down for many years, and he still has political sensitivity, so the more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes.

- In fact, unconsciously by Huang Yourong, with the fall of the former cabinet elder Wen Guanliang, Cheng Yuandao of the prince's party entered the cabinet and became the new cabinet elder, the prince and the prince Xiao Wenruan passed away, and Zhao Junchen's sudden rise and formation of his own faction in the court, so that all the forces in the court have long lost their former balance!

That is to say, in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, Huang Yourong, as a chess piece to balance Zhou Shangjing, has long lost his original value, and for the same consideration, Zhou Shangjing no longer expects Huang Yourong's storage zài to continue to confuse Emperor Deqing!

With the imbalance of the situation between the DPRK and China, Emperor Deqing and Fu Zhou Shangjing will inevitably reintegrate the various factions in the court out of their own considerations, so that the forces of the DPRK and China will reach a state of balance again.

It's just that, judging from the attitude of Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, in the next plan of the two of them, there is no place for Huang Yourong! - That's why Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing acquiesced to Zhao Junchen's attack on Huang Yourong!

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, with the change of the shape of the court, Huang Yourong has lost his original use value!

But as mentioned earlier, once a chess piece loses its usefulness, it will be abandoned at any time!

…………

In fact, all of the above qiē has already vaguely conjectured in the depths of Huang Yourong's heart, so in recent days, Huang Yourong's heart has always had an inexplicable sense of unease, but Huang Yourong has never dared to think deeply, because such a result is too terrifying for him!

After the old Wen Guanliang of the former cabinet became an outcast, how depressed and embarrassed he was, Huang Yourong always remembered it!

However, when the cruel reality was really unfolded in front of him, Huang Yourong had no room to evade, but he could only accept the reality and seriously consider these changes and realities that were very terrifying to him.

Time. Huang Yourong thought of a lot!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Huang Ge Lao! Huang Ge Lao! What's wrong with you? ”

Between trance and deep thought, Huang Yourong heard the voices of Huo Zhengyuan and others.

Then, Huang Yourong finally came back to his senses, and now unconsciously, he had left the palace with the support of his friends. Came to the outside of the noon gate.

"What's wrong?" Huang Yourong asked slowly, but his voice was a little hoarse: "The old man was a little dazed just now, what are you talking about?" ”

Since the early dynasty, Huang Yourong has been indulging in his own conjectures, although he also knows that Huo Zhengyuan, Lin Wei, Zhang Cheng and others next to him are saying something to him, but he has not heard a word.

Seeing Huang Yourong, he was dumbfounded. Young Fu Lin Wei thought that Huang Yourong was not satisfied with the result of going up this morning, so he was relieved: "Ge Lao, although we failed to bring down Zhao Junchen this morning, we were bitten back by Zhao Junchen, but after all, we still reversed the original situation of having no power to fight back, and also made Zhao Junchen suffer a lot of losses. So you don't have to be frustrated or angry, the days ahead are still very long, and sooner or later we will find a way to get back on the field! ”

Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also had the same opinion, thinking that Huang Yourong was unhappy about what happened to the court this morning, and he also said excitedly: "Yes, even if Zhao Junchen gains for a while, he is just a household secretary after all." You are the elder of the pavilion, and the influence of power is far from being comparable to that of Zhao Junchen, even if you suffer some losses, you will be able to recover sooner or later, not to mention, during the next southern tour of Your Majesty, you will inevitably come to stay in Beijing to assist the government, and Zhao Junchen will accompany you to the south, and at that time, all matters in the court and China will be decided by the elder of the pavilion. Can't we find a way to fight back? Besides, although it is a pity that Yan Pengfei and Liu Quanan were taken into custody pending trial, we did not let Zhao Junchen get benefits. ”

On the other side, Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar, frowned and considered: "What Lin Shangshu and Young Master Zhang said is reasonable, but. Today's counterattack by Zhao Junchen seems to have been prepared for a long time, but it is really strange, is it possible, he knew our plan in advance? Did we accidentally leak the news? Or did Chen Dongxiang betray us? In the opinion of this official, this matter must be investigated, otherwise we will suffer losses in the future! ”

Seeing that these friends of his own were either comforting, encouraging, or giving ideas to him, Huang Yourong sighed secretly.

Whether it is Young Master Zhang Cheng, Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, or Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar, they are all smart people, and they are not lacking in experience and ability, especially Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar, in terms of intelligence and quick intelligence, in fact, he is still above Huang Yourong!

However, they are not cabinet elders after all, they stand at different heights, and they also lack the kind of political sensitivity and long-term vision of the overall situation! Therefore, even now, they still have no real crisis, and their eyes are only fixed on the party struggle with Zhao Junchen.

In fact, Huang Yourong is not much better! It wasn't until he saw Emperor Deqing's attitude in the morning today that he realized these things!

However, Huang Yourong didn't intend to explain to them, otherwise it would only cause unnecessary panic!

Although Huang Yourong is not a real powerful minister like Zhou Shangjing, who is scheming and deep in the city government - Zhou Shangjing will keep Huang Yourong in the position of the pavilion elder, in fact, it is precisely out of disdain for Huang Yourong that Huang Yourong cannot pose a real threat to him - but after all, he has been the cabinet elder for many years, and at least he still has the will to bear the panic alone.

Therefore, Huang Yourong hid all kinds of feelings in his heart in the depths, and once again squeezed out a smile on his face, barely recovering the smiling tiger appearance of the past.

"You're right, it's not the worst yet, it's still a long time, we'll always find a way." As if to convince himself, Huang Yourong said slowly: "But because of this, we must prepare early, and we must not be a little lazy!" …… Now that we have not been able to take advantage of the fight with Zhao Junchen, I think the officials below will inevitably have some ideas, and they want to find an opportunity to appease them, Young Master Zhang, you have always been highly respected, and this matter will be handed over to you, at such a time, our rear can not have any problems.

As for Zhao Junchen's post-production this time, it seems that he has been prepared for a long time, and if he thinks about it carefully, it is indeed a little strange, whether it is the leaked news, or Chen Dongxiang's rebellion. You must also find out, Master Huo, this matter will be handed over to you.

In addition, these days we are busy fighting with Zhao Junchen, but our official business has been delayed a lot. The others are okay, but Lord Lin, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, with His Majesty's southern tour approaching, it is the busiest time for your Ministry of Rites, and many things cannot be delayed. Otherwise, it will only make Zhao Junchen and them find an excuse to attack. ”

After a pause, Huang Yourong muttered: "The more we get to this time, the more we can't be looked down upon, and now it's time to prove the ability and value of our people, if it's next...... Maybe there's room for redemption. ”

Seeing that Huang Yourong finally returned to normal, although some of the words were inexplicable. But Lin Wei, Zhang Cheng, Huo Zhengyuan and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, because of Huang Yourong's instructions, they didn't stay anymore, said goodbye to Huang Yourong one by one, and went their separate ways.

Among them, Huo Zhengyuan is the best at observing words and feelings, when leaving. couldn't help but subconsciously glanced back at Huang Yourong, and a trace of exploration and doubt flashed between his expressions.

He knows Huang Yourong very well, although Huang Yourong always looks like a "smiling tiger" on weekdays, pretending to be a dangerous person in the city, but in fact, Huang Yourong is not as dangerous and deep in the city as he pretended, the more things he encounters, the more irritable Huang Yourong becomes.

After the end of the dynasty this morning, Huo Zhengyuan was already ready to bear Huang Yourong's anger, but what he didn't expect was that Huang Yourong didn't know what he was thinking at first. Then he quickly regained his composure and arranged for everyone to do things in an orderly manner - this was completely different from Huo Zhengyuan's original imagination.

"What's going on here? There seems to be something that I didn't expect...... Huang Ge thought of it, but I didn't think of it...... What exactly? Huo Zhengyuan thought secretly, with a pensive face.

…………

Wait until the rest of the friends leave. Huang Yourong also came to his sedan chair.

After the long entourage waiting next to the sedan chair saw Huang Yourong appear, he didn't dare to slack off, and while opening the sedan curtain for Huang Yourong diligently, he asked cautiously: "Master, are we going home?" ”

Huang Yourong didn't answer, just sat in the sedan chair, closing his eyes and thinking about something.

And Chang Sui didn't dare to make a private decision, just waited quietly,

After a long time, Huang Yourong suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "After the morning court today, can Shen Changmao and Shen Ge go out of the palace?" ”

Generally speaking, after the early court, the cabinet elders have considerable freedom of movement, sometimes staying in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace to deal with court affairs, and sometimes returning directly to the house.

And today, after the end of the early dynasty, Huang Yourong was thinking about his own affairs, but he didn't pay attention to the movements of another pavilion elder, Shen Changmao.

"Back to the master, the villain saw Shen Ge Lao leaving in a sedan chair behind him, thinking that he was going back to the house."

After Huang Yourong hesitated for a moment, a trace of firmness flashed in his expression, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Go back to the house first, and after returning to the house, send someone to send the old man's name to the old mansion of Shen Ge, and say that at noon today, the old man invited him to gather in Shangxian Building." ”

After hearing Huang Yourong's order, Na Chang couldn't help but be stunned.

You must know that although Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao have cooperated from time to time, they have more hostile times, especially in recent days, because they had to compete for the errand of staying in Beijing during Emperor Deqing's southern tour, and the two pavilion elders did not get along happily.

At this time, Huang Yourong suddenly asked Shen Changmao to meet, which was really strange.

However, Chang Sui didn't dare to question Huang Yourong's decision, but hurriedly agreed.

In fact, after Huang Yourong thought about it, he was not only going to meet with Shen Changmao, but also to form an alliance with Shen Changmao!

Huang Yourong is unwilling to become an outcast! But he also understood that once Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing made up their minds, he had no way to resist at all!

Therefore, at this time, Huang Yourong needs Shen Changmao's help!

To be precise, it's the mutual help between the two!

After all, the situation of Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong is almost no different!

Therefore, as long as he gives up some benefits to Shen Changmao and makes the stakes clear, Huang Yourong is confident that he can still form an alliance with Shen Changmao.

And as long as the two of them form an alliance, in the face of Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, as well as Zhao Junchen who is fishing in troubled waters, they will always have more self-protection power!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Huang Yourong is the elder of the court, and his every move is watched by the eyes of other factions.

Therefore, the news that Huang Yourong made an appointment to meet Shen Changmao also spread quickly - in fact, Huang Yourong did not intend to hide the news!

And the major factions also have their own opinions on Huang Yourong's approach.

…………

The first to get the news was Fu Zhou Shangjing.

Although Zhao Junchen has the West Factory in his hands and the intelligence network of Tongji Temple, Zhou Shangjing also controls Shuntian Mansion and has been operating for many years, and he is well-informed in the capital, and he is far above Zhao Junchen.

When Yin Xuegui of Shuntianfu asked to see Zhou Shangjing, Zhou Shangjing was practicing calligraphy, which was Zhou Shangjing's habit.

"Oh? Huang Yourong made an appointment to meet Shen Changmao? After hearing Xue Gui's report, the wolf in Zhou Shangjing's hand suddenly paused slightly, then raised his head, and raised his gray eyebrows: "Is the news accurate?" ”

"The lower officials have confirmed it again and again, and it is absolutely accurate." Xue Gui hurriedly replied.

Zhou Shangjing seemed to be smiling, but the old eyes that seemed to be faint flashed brightly, and said: "I originally planned to wait until after His Majesty's southern tour to reorganize the distribution of forces in the court, but I didn't expect Huang Yourong to be a little smarter than he imagined...... However, after all, it is a little late, and the next thing is to depend on their creation...... If it were ordinary, the old man would have taken the opportunity to do something, but now that the southern tour is approaching, the focus is not here...... Hey......"

…………

When Zhao Junchen got the news, he was handling official business in the household yamen.

At such times on weekdays, Zhao Junchen always likes to bring official business to his house and deal with it in the study.

But now that there is turmoil in the household department, Zhao Junchen needs to sit in the household department to calm people's hearts and prevent accidents.

After getting the news that Huang Yourong had an appointment to meet Shen Changmao, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, but he didn't care, just thoughtfully.

"It seems that after the incident, Huang Yourong has finally understood the changes in the situation between the DPRK and China, and has also figured out where his real worries are...... It's a pity that he felt too late, with my next plan, he is destined to be buried for the crown prince Zhu and Yu, and now the alliance with Shen Changmao not only can't protect himself, but will also involve Shen Changmao, but this is good for me, anyway, my next goal is also Shen Changmao's turn........."

Thinking like this, Zhao Junchen smiled lightly and instructed the Xichang fanzi who sent the news: "This news is conveyed to His Majesty, our Xichang is the inspection yamen of His Majesty, and if we get this kind of news, we must let Your Majesty know." ”

After Xichang Fanzi agreed, he turned around and left.

According to the news that Zhao Junchen got afterwards, when Xichang conveyed the news of Huang Yourong's appointment with Shen Changmao to Emperor Deqing, Emperor Deqing was originally reviewing the folds, but after getting the news, his expression remained unchanged, but after snorting coldly, he said: "Huang Yourong, this old thing, is finally not stupid yet!" ”

……

Well, it's still a big chapter of 5,000 words!
