The next day, morning upwards.
Just like the scene a few days ago, Zhao Junchen and his party still clung to Yan Pengfei, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and did not let go, and the attitude was fierce and impeached; And Huang Yourong and his party are still fully protective of Yan Pengfei, and they will not give in an inch.
As a result, in the Taihe Palace, with Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong as the two people, the dispute between the two parties is still as smooth and lively as ever.
And for this situation, after these days of adaptation, Emperor Deqing and the hundred officials in the court have become accustomed to it, and no one has any intention of stopping it.
In this way, between the two factions attacking each other, by the time the morning dynasty was over, it was already close to noon.
…………
said that after the next dynasty, although Huang Yourong still had a harmless appearance like a smiling tiger, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with inexplicable anger, which made the officials who followed him secretly frightened.
It's no wonder that Huang Yourong is so suffocating, in the court this morning, although Huang Yourong's faction once again resisted the attack and impeachment of Zhao Junchen's faction, but it was on the defensive, and was pressed and beaten by Zhao Junchen.
More importantly, the partisan struggle between Huang Yourong and Zhao Junchen has been going on for four or five days now, but in the face of the vigorous momentum and continuous impeachment of Zhao Junchen's faction, Huang Yourong and his party have not yet formed an effective counteroffensive.
Although the audit of the household department is still ongoing, everyone knows about it. This is doomed to be fruitless, this is a well-known thing, so I will not mention it for the time being.
And these days. Huang Yourong sent people to search for evidence of the crimes of Zhao Junchen and his subordinate officials, and wanted to impeach and fight back in the court, but Zhao Junchen and his faction had already been prepared, and they had been thinking about this party struggle for a long time, and they had already taken the opportunity to wipe their butts clean!
Therefore, Huang Yourong has indeed searched for a lot of criminal evidence these days. But there is very little evidence that can prove these crimes.
In this way, even if Huang Yourong wants to impeach Zhao Junchen and his subordinate officials in the early dynasty. But it is also impossible to sustain at all, let alone pose a real threat to Zhao Junchen.
In short, although this partisan struggle has only lasted for four or five days, Huang Yourong's faction has already fallen behind!
And so it goes. How can Huang Yourong not hold back his anger?
Now I can barely maintain a slight smile on my face. It already shows that Huang Yourong is quite a city government.
…………
However, when he was about to walk out of the noon gate, Huang Yourong thought about all the things he had been doing in the past few days, but he finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, his steps suddenly paused, and he turned around and angrily reprimanded his friends behind him: "It's been four or five days!" You can't find out the evidence of Zhao Junchen and his friends at all!! Let the old man be pressed and beaten by juniors like Zhao Junchen these days!! I lost face in front of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China!! You say, the old man has worked hard to promote you people all these years! What exactly is the use!? ”
Between the angry reprimands, Huang Yourong not only did not ease his anger a little. On the contrary, the anger in his heart became stronger and stronger, and his voice became louder and louder: "Have you seen the expression of Shen Changmao facing up this morning?" The old guy hadn't left the old man all morning. With a wicked smile on his face, Cheng Xin is watching the old man's jokes! The old man has been fighting with that Shen Changmao for so many years, how could he have been ridiculed by him like this!? That Zhao Junchen is just a courtier in front of His Majesty, and he can't even deal with this guy! What else can you do in the future!? ”
Hearing Huang Yourong's continuous loud shouting, and seeing Huang Yourong's face red and his chest rising and falling, knowing that Huang Yourong was angry, all the officials did not dare to refute, but just lowered their heads to listen to the training.
It's just that at this time, they haven't left the palace yet, and it is just after the early court, and there are constantly Korean and Chinese officials passing by, seeing that Huang Yourong is so out of shape, although the passing Korean and Chinese officials dare not stop to watch and point, but they can't help but secretly look sideways.
Finally, it was the young master Zhang Cheng who relied on his qualifications to be older and his status was higher, and after sighing, he walked to Huang Yourong's side and dissuaded: "Huang Ge Lao, we haven't left the palace yet, if you are not happy in your heart, it's a big deal to go back to the mansion and reprimand again, why make people laugh in front of the public?" Isn't it even more contemptible? Although Zhao Junchen has the upper hand now, after all, the foundation is shallow, as long as he continues to consume, he must be the one who can't hold on in the end. Why would you be so out of shape for a short period of time? ”
Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also persuaded: "Yes, Lord Ge, you dissipate your anger, we didn't suffer a loss today after all, so why be so angry?" In fact, my colleagues have done their best, and they have been doing their best to find the evidence of Zhao Junchen's party's crimes these days, but Zhao Junchen and his friends are obviously prepared, and they have hidden the shortcomings of the handle, and it is not easy to find, and the household department and the Ministry of Industry are now run by Zhao Junchen like an iron bucket, and the needle cannot be inserted into the water and splashed in, and it is really difficult to find the exact evidence of their crimes for impeachment. ”
For Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei's face, Huang Yourong still has to give it, and snorted coldly: "The old man has been an official for more than 30 years, but he has never been so humiliated, and he was pressed and beaten by a junior like Zhao Junchen!" You let the old man press it, but the old man is afraid that he will be suffocated to death!! ”
After finishing speaking, Huang Yourong snorted coldly again, then turned around and continued to walk briskly outside the noon gate.
Despite this, after the persuasion of Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei, Huang Yourong finally did not become angry in front of hundreds of officials.
Seeing Huang Yourong's statement, Huang Yourong's friends couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they all hurriedly followed.
Among them, Huo Zhengyuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, walked quickly to Huang Yourong's side, and said softly: "Huang Ge Lao, what Young Master Zhang said just now, Xia Guan feels that it is very reasonable, you have been running the government and the opposition for decades, and you have a solid foundation, and even Zhou Shangjing can't deal with you lightly, let alone a mere Zhao Junchen?" Although we are a little unfavorable now, it is only because Zhao Junchen is suddenly difficult and we are caught off guard. It's only temporary. ”
After saying such insincere words, Huo Zhengyuan changed his words again and continued: "However. In order to do your best, do you have to change your methods of dealing with Zhao Junchen a little? ”
Huo Zhengyuan is the Xi think tank of Huang Yourong's faction, and Huang Yourong has always attached importance to his opinions. He asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Huo Zhengyuan explained: "Elder, Zhao Junchen is now in a dispute with you. In the final analysis, it is still this person's wolf ambition, relying on the protection of His Majesty, who wants to compete for power and power with you. However. The shape of the temple has been stable for so long, and the distribution of the interests of the various factions also has a tacit understanding, and now Zhao Junchen is so nonsense, so that the shape of the temple has given birth to a lot of variables, this situation is something that many people don't want to see, such as Zhou Fu and Shen Ge Lao. ”
"You mean......" Huang Yourong muttered thoughtfully.
"Zhao Junchen is ambitious and insatiable, and he is not only a threat to you. Even for the other cabinet elders, sooner or later it will be a problem. Take this time, for example. This dispute between him and Ge Lao, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, I am afraid that he will not be satisfied, and he may have a dispute with Shen Ge Lao again. If Zhao Junchen relied on the protection of His Majesty, he really won against you and Shen Ge Lao, and his power and authority could probably compete with Zhou Fu, for this point, I think both Shen Ge Lao and Zhou Fu would see it clearly, and they didn't want to see such a scene. In this case, why don't you join Shen Ge Lao and Zhou Fu to deal with Zhao Junchen together? If that's the case, then how can Zhao Junchen still be our opponent? ”
After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's construction, Huang Yourong was silent.
In a way, what Huo Zhengyuan said does make sense.
Zhao Junchen is now making waves in the temple like this, so that countless variables have appeared in the originally stable temple shape, which is naturally happy to see it come to fruition for Emperor Deqing and some careerists. But for those with vested interests such as Zhou Shangjing and Shen Changmao, it will be resistant.
From this point of view, the basis for Huang Yourong, Shen Changmao, and Zhou Shangjing to join forces to deal with Zhao Junchen is indeed preserved.
It's just that after Huang Yourong thought calmly for a moment, he shook his head and said: "If it is normal, you can do this, but now in such a form, it is not possible." ”
Seeing Huo Zhengyuan's puzzled face, Huang Yourong explained: "Now, I not only have a conflict with Zhao Junchen, but also Shen Changmao, so at this time, it is absolutely impossible for me to join forces with Shen Changmao, after all, although the dispute between me and Zhao Junchen has fallen into disadvantage, it is not a crisis after all." ”
…………
Huo Zhengyuan is a smart person after all, and he understood what Huang Yourong meant when he heard it.
Since Emperor Deqing decided to tour the south, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao began to fight openly and secretly for the errand of staying in Beijing to assist the government, and in such a battle, it was Huang Yourong who had the upper hand.
Seeing that Emperor Deqing is about to set off on a southern tour after the imperial examination, according to today's shape, the candidate for staying in Beijing for auxiliary politics will be Huang Yourong.
In this way, Shen Changmao is naturally dissatisfied with Huang Yourong, even if he understands the long-term threat brought by Zhao Junchen, but compared to Zhao Junchen's long-term threat, Shen Changmao is probably more willing to see Huang Yourong embarrassed at this time.
And if Huang Yourong wants to join forces with Shen Changmao to deal with Zhao Junchen, with Shen Changmao's character, he will inevitably ask Huang Yourong to make concessions in the matter of staying in Beijing and assisting the government.
But this kind of concession is something that Huang Yourong will never accept.
In this way, it is impossible for Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao to join forces to deal with Zhao Junchen, at least in the short term.
…………
Thinking of this, Huo Zhengyuan sighed secretly, and asked again: "Huang Ge Lao has far-reaching plans, and the lower officials admire them, but since we can't cooperate with Shen Ge Lao, what about Zhou Fu?" If we can get Zhou Fu's help, Zhao Junchen must not be worried. ”
After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's question, Huang Yourong was solemn, and after being silent for a long time, he finally said slowly: "Cooperating with Zhou Shangjing may not be a good thing, although Zhou Shangjing's influence is great, but if he participates in this conflict, His Majesty will no longer be as impartial as he is today." His majesty's jealousy of Zhou Shangjing, I think you also know it. If it is not a last resort. But I am also reluctant to cooperate with Zhou Shangjing, otherwise it will add a lot of variables. ”
As he spoke, Huang Yourong glanced at Huo Zhengyuan, who was thinking beside him. I shook my head secretly.
This Huo Zhengyuan, although he is very smart and has good means between actions, but he is not good at the overall situation.
On the other side, Huo Zhengyuan heard Huang Yourong's explanation, and after thinking for a while, he finally understood what Huang Yourong meant.
Although Zhao Junchen is said to be a favorite minister of Emperor Deqing. But in this party struggle, Emperor Deqing did not favor Zhao Junchen, but was impartial. After all, Emperor Deqing didn't want to see Zhao Junchen grasp too much power at a young age, so it became more and more difficult to control.
However, if Zhou Shangjing also participated in this party struggle, he helped Huang Yourong suppress Zhao Junchen. Then Emperor Deqing's jealousy of Zhou Shangjing. and the favor of Zhao Junchen, and will inevitably help Zhao Junchen.
In this way, although Huang Yourong received Zhou Shangjing's assistance, it aroused the hostility of Emperor Deqing, whether it was good or bad, it is very difficult to say, but the shape will definitely get out of control, and this is what Huang Yourong never wants to see.
…………
After figuring out the pros and cons. Huo Zhengyuan sighed and shook his head secretly. I thought in my heart: "This Zhao Junchen, it is really good luck, he caught up with the most appropriate time to conflict with the old student of the Yellow Pavilion, if he changed the time, the old man of the Yellow Pavilion can join forces with Zhou Fu and Shen Ge Lao without any scruples, Zhao Junchen is so ignorant of the sky and the thickness of the sky and the thickness of the struggle for power and profit with others, I am afraid that I don't know how to die!" ”
In the middle of such a secret thought, Huo Zhengyuan's heart suddenly came up with another thought.
If this qiē was calculated by Zhao Junchen a long time ago, then what?
If it was, Zhao Junchen had long expected that Huang Yourong would not be able to join forces with Shen Changmao and Zhou Shangjing at this time, so he seized the opportunity to attack Huang Yourong unscrupulously, then, Zhao Junchen's foresight, is it too terrifying?
And since Zhao Junchen is so far-reaching, and dares to seize this opportunity to clash with Huang Yourong, does it mean that Zhao Junchen has a certain grasp of defeating Huang Yourong's party?
Thinking of this, Huo Zhengyuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If this is the case, then Zhao Junchen is too terrible.
So, Huo Zhengyuan comforted me: "Impossible, Zhao Junchen is young, and he only has such a status today because of His Majesty's favor in him, how can he have such a strategy and means?" It must have just been a coincidence. If Zhao Junchen really has such scheming and means, coupled with his current power and influence, I am afraid that we will lose. ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And just as Huo Zhengyuan was thinking about it, Huang Yourong and a group of friends had already left the noon gate and came outside the palace.
When Huo Zhengyuan sent Huang Yourong to the sedan chair, he saw that Huang Yourong suddenly seemed to think of something before getting into the sedan chair, and turned his head to Huo Zhengyuan and ordered: "Don't go to my mansion to discuss matters today!" If anything comes out of my deliberations, I will send someone to inform you. The matter of bribing Chen Dongxiang is our top priority now, you should hurry up first, we don't have many ways to deal with Zhao Junchen, and whether you can reverse the decline depends on whether you can successfully rebel against Chen Dongxiang! ”
In this regard, Huo Zhengyuan was full of confidence, and swore to Huang Yourong and assured: "Please rest assured, I had a secret conversation with Chen Dongxiang yesterday, and I saw that Chen Dongxiang was already tempted, but the matter was serious, and he couldn't make up his mind, but as long as he wavered in his heart, it proved that his loyalty to Zhao Junchen was gradually lost, and he was not afraid that he would not join us." Today, the lower officials will meet him again, and I think that within two days today and tomorrow, there will be a definite result. ”
Hearing Huo Zhengyuan's assurance, Huang Yourong finally showed a satisfied look, nodded to Huo Zhengyuan, and then sat in a sedan chair and went home.
Then, Huang Yourong's friends also followed in sedan chairs.
In the past few days, because of the party dispute with Zhao Junchen, Huang Yourong and his friends in the DPRK and China will go to Huang Yourong's mansion almost every day to discuss countermeasures, but they can't even take care of the official affairs of the DPRK and China.
Huo Zhengyuan did not go to the Huangfu with the officials because of the task of plotting against Chen Dongxiang.
However, when Huo Zhengyuan came to the position of his sedan chair, he saw Huo Zhong, the long-term attendant waiting next to the sedan chair, quickly greeted him, and reported softly to Huo Zhengyuan: "Master, when you went to the court, the long-term follower of Chen Dongxiang and Chen Shilang secretly stuffed me with a secret letter, saying that he wanted me to hand it over to the master, and asked the master to read it. ”
As he spoke, Huo Zhong took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Huo Zhengyuan.
Huo Zhengyuan was slightly stunned, turned his head to look around, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, he opened the letter and checked it carefully.
When he saw the contents of the letter, Huo Zhengyuan's body suddenly shook, and then his face showed ecstasy!
It turned out that Chen Dongxiang's letter not only showed that he was willing to turn his back on Zhao Junchen and turn to Huang Yourong, but also listed many crimes and evidence of Zhao Junchen's officials!
And these accusations and evidence are the best petition for Huang Yourong and his party, which are now in urgent need of counterattack.
After carefully reviewing the letter and seeing that there were no flaws, Huo Zhengyuan ordered Huo Zhong with joy: "Quick, let's go to the old mansion of Huangge!" I have a great joy to report to the Yellow Pavilion Elder! ”
