Chapter 405. Chaos (II).

……

……

Compared with the Canglang Pavilion, the scenery of the Humble Administrator's Garden is more exquisite and charming, and the layout is more ingenious.

Therefore, after Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen lived in the Humble Administrator's Garden, they were in a good mood while visiting the scenery.

But leisure and elegance is only temporary, as the sky is getting late, Zhao Junchen said goodbye to Emperor Deqing, and immediately invited Xu Qingyan after returning to the room, asking him about the current situation and progress of the Canglang Pavilion of Nanchan Temple.

After all, the reason why Nanchan Temple is in this predicament is mainly because of Emperor Deqing's planning, but there is also the "credit" of Zhao Junchen who secretly contributed to the trouble.

In addition, the changes in the situation in the Canglang Pavilion of Nanchan Temple were closely related to Emperor Deqing's next plan, so after Zhao Junchen came to the Humble Administrator's Garden, he sent Xu Qingyan to the Canglang Pavilion to observe the situation.

Zhao Junchen believes that after Emperor Deqing returns to his room, he will also pay close attention to the situation, and everyone's leisure and leisure are just disguises.

……

After receiving Zhao Junchen's summons, Xu Qingyan soon came to Zhao Junchen's room and told Zhao Junchen in detail about the changes in the situation in Canglang Pavilion.

After listening carefully, Zhao Junchen smiled lightly: "As expected, Your Majesty is really waiting for Zhou Shangjing here!" Because the people besieged the Canglang Pavilion, the matter of the Suzhou Wokou Rebellion could not be covered up no matter what, and at that time, the charges of bullying the king, covering up, forming a party and so on. Zhou Shangjing is afraid that one is indispensable! If Zhou Shangjing mishandled it, the people who surrounded Canglang Pavilion would have a civil uprising. The entire Zhou Party will be ruined! Now, His Majesty's layout has been completed. It depends on whether Zhou Shangjing has a reversed hole card! ”

Zhao Junchen was greatly admired by Emperor Deqing's layout, but Xu Qingyan disagreed, pouted and said: "Young master, if you want me to say, Your Majesty, in order to deal with Zhou Shangjing, it is really too difficult!" The matter of the Japanese Invaders cannot be covered up no matter what, as long as some evidence is found. You can go directly to find Zhou Shangjing's trouble, why bother to make so many bends! ”

Zhao Junchen laughed and said: "So you are short-sighted and unclear-sighted!" Of course, the matter of the Japanese can not be covered up no matter what, as long as you put your mind to it, you will always find some ironclad evidence, but then what? These ironclad evidence can only involve Zhou Suhai, the prefect of Suzhou, but they can't help Zhou Shangjing! However, His Majesty's ambition is very great, not only against Zhou Suhai, but also against Zhou Shangjing! not only to bring down Zhou Shangjing. It is also necessary to wipe out the entire Zhou Party! ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "Over the past few days, Your Majesty has been making calculations step by step, and his methods are really clever...... On the shore of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou. He first asked Zhou Shangjing to guarantee that Suzhou was fine, and after coming to Suzhou, he asked Zhou Shangjing to lead the Zhou Party officials to investigate the hidden circumstances of the Japanese Rebellion. But it gradually involved Zhou Shangjing and all the Zhou Party officials in this matter, and they can no longer get out of their involvement! Wait until Your Majesty is poor and dagger-free. From Zhou Shangjing downwards, all Zhou Party officials will be convicted! Until that time. The entire Zhou Party will be uprooted, and Your Majesty will have a great victory! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen suddenly sighed, and said: "It's a pity that those people who besieged Canglang Pavilion were not only used, but Your Majesty may cause a civil uprising in order to expand the impact of this matter, and they may encounter a catastrophe next!" ”

……

Just when Xu Qingyan nodded as if he didn't understand, someone outside the door suddenly came to report, saying that it was Huibao, the host of Nanchan Temple, who asked to see Zhao Junchen.

After getting the report, Zhao Junchen thought about it for a moment and decided to meet Huibao.

Soon, Huibao had already come to Zhao Junchen's room.

Then, before Zhao Junchen could speak, Huibao knelt in front of Zhao Junchen with a "plop" and said in a mournful voice: "Lord Zhao! Please save Nanzen Temple! Now only you can save us! ”

Seeing Huibao like this, Zhao Junchen asked knowingly, "What's the matter?" Your Majesty and I only left Nanchan Temple yesterday, and it was only a day before and after, could it be that Nanchan Temple encountered some trouble? ”

Huibao nodded again and again, and then explained in detail to Zhao Junchen about the people's siege of Canglang Pavilion.

Huibao's description was quite miserable and pitiful, but Zhao Junchen was unmoved and said: "Since there are people who besiege your Canglang Pavilion for no reason, why don't you turn to the Suzhou government for help?" ”

Huibao said: "The people besieged the Canglang Pavilion in order to see Your Majesty and sue the emperor, if I reported to the Suzhou government, and the Suzhou government drove the people back, then my Nanchan Temple would not hinder the heavens?" In the future, if you attract the blame of your majesty......"

Zhao Junchen waved his hand and said disappreciably: "Master Huibao is too worried, Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the co-master of the world, not only has a valuable status, but also has to manage every opportunity, how can anyone see it if he wants to?" If the people have grievances, they should go to the local government to complain, even if they want to see His Majesty, they should report it layer by layer, and they must not break the rules, so you can notify the Suzhou Yamen with peace of mind! Rest assured, in the future, no one will blame you for obstructing the Holy Hearing, and if anyone uses this to make things difficult for you, I will naturally bear it. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Huibao had no choice but to agree for a while.

However, vaguely, Huibao always felt that Zhao Junchen asked him to inform the Suzhou Yamen for some kind of calculation, but the identity and status of the two sides were very different, and Huibao could only be led by Zhao Junchen.

For a while, Huibao regretted more and more that he invited Emperor Deqing to live in Canglang Pavilion, who would have thought that Nanchan Temple was involved in a treacherous and complicated political struggle because of this, and was used and could not resist?

However, it's too late to regret it, and Huibao can only take one step at a time now.

In addition to being frustrated, Huibao had no intention of staying, so he said goodbye to Zhao Junchen.

It's just that when Huibao left, Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "By the way, I forgot to congratulate Master Huibao, since these days, you have served well, and Your Majesty is also very satisfied, and now it has made a decree to canonize you as the abbot of Nanchan Temple!" From now on, you will no longer be the host of Huibao, but the abbot of Huibao! ”

The abbot and the presiding officer, both of whom are the heads of a monastery, seem to be the same, but in fact they are very different.

The so-called "presiding" is only the leader elected by the monks in the temple, while the "abbot" is the leader canonized by the imperial court, which is officially recognized and has many privileges.

In the Ming Dynasty, although there were countless Buddhist monasteries, there were less than ten monasteries with abbots, so the abbot of a monastery often became a leader in the local religious circles and was supported by the surrounding temples.

After Huibao was canonized as the abbot of Nanchan Temple, both Huibao and Nanchan Temple will have a rising status in Buddhism, which is also the benefit that Huibao diligently pursues! At the beginning, Huibao tried to invite Emperor Deqing to live in Canglang Pavilion, and it was for this purpose.

Now, the goal has finally been achieved, but Huibao doesn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

After all, if you can't get through this crisis, everything is nothing.

……

After Huibao left in a complicated mood, Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, and then instructed Xu Qingyan: "You go and find Xiao Wenxuan, Su Xiqing, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun to see me, I have something to discuss with them." ”

When he was in Yangzhou, Zhao Junchen finally formed his own staff team through Su Xiqing's front bridge. Among them, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun are all the most outstanding figures.

Now, the conflict between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing has turned from dark to light, and Zhao Junchen brought these staff members here, naturally to discuss countermeasures.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Junchen can also further examine their hearts, abilities, and positions.

After all, the various conflicts between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing have nothing to do with Zhao Junchen's secrets, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun have assisted Zhao Junchen for a short time, and their loyalty cannot be guaranteed, but in this matter, Zhao Junchen is also willing to talk to them deeply, even if they leak the news, it will not damage Zhao Junchen's interests, but can take the opportunity to examine their loyalty.
