After the offensive of the "Zhou Party" ended, the early dynasty of this day returned to its previous trajectory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The general process is not much different from the early dynasty a few days ago, and it is still full of calculations and games.
Some "imperialist" officials continued to impeach Huang Yourong and exert pressure on Huang Yourong, while others followed suit, and under the impeachment of the officials, Huang Yourong's prospects became more and more precarious.
In addition, some officials impeached Zhao Junchen, accusing Zhao Junchen of repeatedly violating the rules when setting up a pilot shipping company, and privately giving a large number of benefits to Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen without the permission of the imperial court, which seriously damaged the interests of the imperial court, and the pilot shipping company established by Zhao Junchen was not just a shipping company, but a union of many shipping companies, which was completely different from Zhao Junchen's original promise, and completely violated the original intention of the imperial court.
It's a pity that Zhao Junchen has been prepared for these impeachments, and under Zhao Junchen's bribery, Emperor Deqing also resolutely stood on Zhao Junchen's side in this matter, and after the main force of impeachment of Zhao Junchen, the "Shen Party", was attacked by the "Zhou Party", it was when morale was low, and the combat effectiveness shown was not strong, so these impeachments naturally ended up in failure.
In the end, it is the continuation of Tingtui!
As for the candidates to join the cabinet and auxiliary government, the various factions in the DPRK and China still have their own opinions, and the candidates nominated by the "imperial party" are still the trilateral governors Liang Fuchen. The "party" still fully supports the position of the "imperial party", and the internal opinions of the "Zhao party" are still not unified, some people elect Zuo Lanshan, and others elect Huo Zhengyuan, but after Zhao Junchen's beating yesterday, these two voices are much weaker.
In addition, because of the impeachment offensive of the "Zhou Party", Zhao Zhenghe is now full of controversy, and he is suspected of sheltering corrupt officials, and has completely lost the qualification to join the cabinet and assist the government, and the "Shen Party" cannot find a new candidate in a short period of time, and has been hit by the "Zhou Party" and has low morale, but it has become much more silent and low-key, and he is no longer active in the past, and it seems that he has completely withdrawn from this competition.
In the end, none of the major factions in the DPRK and China could convince anyone, and Tingtui was still inconclusive!
In this way, in the midst of mutual calculations and games between all parties, this early dynasty finally came to an end.
In Zhao Junchen's view, the greatest significance of this day in the early dynasty was not that Zhao Zhenghe completely lost his qualifications to join the cabinet and assist the government, but that after the officials saw that the "Shen Party" did not have any resistance under the attack of the "Zhou Party", they finally recognized a reality.
That is, even if he loses the position of first assistant, Zhou Shangjing is still Zhou Shangjing, even if he becomes the first assistant of the cabinet, Shen Changmao is still just Shen Changmao!
The difference in strength between the two, although it can't be said to be a world apart, is still incomparable, and it will not change with the change of status, even if Zhou Shangjing is just an ordinary elder, as long as he is willing, he can still completely defeat Shen Changmao at any time!
Therefore, after Shen Changmao became the first assistant of the cabinet, he seemed to have a noble status, but he was just a paper tiger.
In this way, after seeing Zhou Shangjing's strong strength and Shen Changmao's external strength, the officials of the DPRK and China also gave full play to the advantages of the grass falling in the wind, and their attitude towards the two of them also changed completely.
A few days ago, since Shen Changmao became the first assistant of the cabinet, every time before and after the early dynasty, no matter where Shen Changmao appeared, there would be a large number of officials following him, either complimenting and currying favor, or asking for advice on government affairs, which can be described as very lively, and it seems that Shen Changmao is not majestic!
On the other hand, after Zhou Shangjing lost his position as the first assistant to the cabinet, the surrounding situation was much more deserted, except for a few core ministers of the "Zhou Party", not too many officials took the initiative to approach.
However, after the end of the early dynasty on this day, the situation was diametrically opposite, when Zhou Shangjing left the Imperial Palace, the officials who followed him were no less than twenty or thirty, and the momentum was huge, almost not inferior to when he was the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shen Changmao's surroundings were much more deserted, except for a few "Shen Party" officials, there were no more officials to follow!
In the Imperial Palace, seeing this scene from a distance, looking at Shen Changmao's gloomy face, Zhao Junchen thought thoughtfully, and secretly thought: "After the events of the early dynasty today, Shen Changmao's prestige and appeal have plummeted, and it is absolutely impossible to control the situation in the temple again, I am afraid that his position as the first assistant is not yet hot, and it will be in danger!" ”
While thinking about it, Zhao Junchen did not have any sarcasm or schadenfreude in his heart, but just seriously thought about the future changes in the situation.
After all, this is a predestined thing, and Zhao Junchen also expected it, and there will not be too many mood swings.
After thinking about it, Zhao Junchen led several "Zhao Party" officials to leave the Imperial Palace.
After leaving the gate of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Junchen was just about to give some instructions to several "Zhao Party" officials beside him, but found that the great eunuch Zhang Dezheng was walking towards him quickly.
So, Zhao Junchen also closed his mouth and headed towards Zhang De.
Coming to Zhao Junchen's side, Zhang De announced softly to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao, Your Majesty invites you to come to the imperial study to meet you. ”
Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh? I only met His Majesty yesterday, so why am I summoned again today? But what does Your Majesty have to command? ”
Zhang De repeatedly accepted bribes from Zhao Junchen, so naturally he would not hide it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's intentions, how can our family guess it?" However, when His Majesty sent our family to invite adults, he seemed to be in a good mood, so it shouldn't be a bad thing. ”
Zhao Junchen thought for a while, only felt that things were not so simple, but his face was impassive, and he just nodded and said, "In this case, please ask Father-in-law Zhang to lead the way." ”
Then, after letting the "Zhao Party" and everyone leave first, Zhao Junchen followed Zhang De to the imperial study.
After arriving at the imperial study, Zhao Junchen was soon summoned by Emperor Deqing.
After entering the imperial study, Zhao Junchen first saluted Emperor Deqing, and then asked, "Your Majesty, you summoned Weichen to come, but what do you command?" ”
When asking, Zhao Junchen secretly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Deqing's expression.
As Zhang De said, Emperor Deqing was in a good mood at this time, with a gentle smile on his face - at least it seems.
I saw Emperor Deqing smile and say, "I summoned you to come to the audience, it's not a big deal, it's just that I suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you about the progress." ”
Seeing Emperor Deqing's casual appearance, Zhao Junchen's heart became more cautious, and he lowered his head and replied, "Oh? I don't know what's going on? Although His Majesty asked, the minister must know everything. ”
Emperor Deqing waved his hand and said, "I have said it, it is not a big deal, Junchen, you don't need to be so cautious and respectful...... I suddenly remembered that before the southern tour, I had promised you that I would let you choose a woman of appropriate age among the Zhao family and send her to the palace, and I would give her the status of a concubine, which can be regarded as the glory I gave to your Zhao family, but I don't know if you have arranged this matter? ”
Emperor Deqing deliberately summoned himself to come to the audience, but it was just for this matter?
Zhao Junchen had some doubts in his heart, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "This is the great honor that Your Majesty has bestowed on the minister and the Zhao family, and the minister naturally does his best and does not dare to slack off!" I also hope that Your Majesty knows that when the minister accompanied him on the southern tour, when he passed through Yangzhou, he had carefully selected a Zhao family woman, this woman's name was Zhao Yinger, and the conditions were excellent in all aspects, and the minister had brought her to the capital, and now she was temporarily living in the minister's house. ”
Emperor Deqing nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How old is this Zhao Ying'er now?" What is the relationship with you? ”
Zhao Junchen replied: "This girl is twenty-eight years old, she is the granddaughter of the elder of the Zhao family, and in terms of generational relationship, she can be regarded as the cousin of the minister. ”
Emperor Deqing nodded again and said, "Since you are your cousin Junchen, you don't have to wait until the harem chooses a concubine before sending it to the palace, as for the court etiquette...... It is enough to teach some of the most important rules, and the rest of the rules can be learned slowly after entering the palace......"
Hearing Emperor Deqing say this, Zhao Junchen was stunned again and asked, "Your Majesty, are you saying that the minister can send her to the palace in a few days?" ”
Emperor Deqing still nodded, and said very casually: "That's right, you are my close minister, and your relatives want to enter the palace, so naturally you don't have to pay attention to too many rules." ”
After getting the confirmation of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen looked deeply glorified and excited, and saluted again: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, and please rest assured that Your Majesty has sent Zhao Ying'er into the palace in recent days, so that she can serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly!" ”
Seeing Zhao Junchen's grateful appearance, Emperor Deqing finally revealed his true intentions.
I saw that Emperor Deqing's tone was full of meaning, and he said slowly: "Since you are Junchen's cousin, then after she enters the palace, Junchen, you can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, I am afraid that many people will call you uncle in the future, and it may not be ......."
Zhao Junchen showed just the right amount of pride and happiness, and said with a smile: "This is all Your Majesty's promotion to the ministers. ”
Emperor Deqing raised his hand and said, "I am willing to promote you, also because you are my close confidants, and from now on, I will be even more close to you!" With such a relationship, your foundation will be more and more stable, and when you do things for me, you will not have to worry about the constraints and attacks of others, and if someone deliberately makes things difficult for you, I will naturally make decisions for you......"
After hearing Emperor Deqing's words, Zhao Junchen's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this point, Zhao Junchen finally understood the deep meaning of Emperor Deqing.
Today, the "Zhou Party" has shown extremely strong strength, and under their impeachment, the "Shen Party" has no power to resist at all, and Zhao Zhenghe has completely lost his qualifications to join the cabinet and assist the government.
Moreover, everyone with a discerning eye can see that the actions of the "Zhou Party" have just begun, and the next target may be Huo Zhengyuan and Zuo Lanshan of the "Zhao Party"!
At this time, Emperor Deqing suddenly summoned Zhao Junchen and instructed Zhao Junchen to send the Zhao family woman into the palace in advance, and also claimed that he and Zhao Junchen were a family, and even claimed that Zhao Junchen would definitely make decisions for Zhao Junchen if he encountered difficulties in the future......
At such a time and such a move, Emperor Deqing is obviously encouraging Zhao Junchen to support him, so that Zhao Junchen should not be afraid of the strong power of the "Zhou Party", and after the "Zhou Party" turns its target to the "Zhao Party", he must resist the "Zhou Party" to the end and never retreat!
"Don't be afraid of Zhou Shangjing, don't worry about the consequences, let go and fight with Zhou Shangjing, I will support you!" - Although Emperor Deqing went around in a big circle and his attitude was very vague, what he meant was probably like this!
And the real purpose of Emperor Deqing to agitate Zhao Junchen like this, in addition to using Zhao Junchen to balance Zhou Shangjing, also wanted to take the opportunity to test Zhao Junchen's true strength now.
In addition, this is probably a foreshadowing move by Emperor Deqing to support Zuo Lanshan into the cabinet.
After thinking about Emperor Deqing's deep meaning, Zhao Junchen's face was full of ecstasy, and he thanked Emperor Deqing again and again, but Zhao Junchen's heart was full of sneers.
Emperor Deqing's wishful thinking was very good, but he would never have guessed that Zhao Junchen had already had the idea of making a big fuss, and the next movement would be far beyond anyone's imagination!
