Chapter 92. Good intentions and bad intentions.

"You mean Eunuch Alley. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"

Zhao Junchen sat at the head of the chuΓ‘ng, listening to Fang Ru's report, speaking softly and slowly, thoughtfully.

Fang Ru sat aside, quietly waiting for Zhao Junchen's reply.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "This is a good way to infiltrate the inner court, in the future, we can indeed pay more attention to the Eunuch Alley, if there are available people, you can also contact them, if we subsidize the silver two, it is easy to choose some people from them to enter the palace, and these people who enter the palace may be of great use in the future." ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "However, there is too much chaos in the Eunuch Alley, and those eunuchs who have not been able to enter the palace are uneven, and most of them are scoundrels, Ru'er, how inconvenient it is for you to contact them, so Qingyan will be responsible for this matter." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan on the side nodded yes. However, a hint of loss flashed in Fang Ru's eyes.

Such a loss is not because Zhao Junchen handed over the matter to Xu Qingyan to be responsible, and Fang Ru himself was not willing to have much contact with those eunuchs.

It's just that this method of infiltrating the inner court through GuΓ² Eunuch Alley is just a flash of inspiration for Fang Ru, but Fang Ru also has great expectations for it, thinking that it will attract Zhao Junchen's attention, but he didn't expect that after Zhao Junchen learned about it, although he agreed to her plan, but between the gods, he looked very interested.

Fang Ru's loss naturally did not hide from Zhao Junchen's eyes.

"Ru'er, you don't know much about the inner court after all." Zhao Junchen explained in a loud voice: "Now those eunuchs in charge of the inner court, all of them are literate and hyphenated people, if they don't know a few big characters, it is difficult to get ahead in the inner court. And the inner court has also had its own standards when selecting new eunuchs over the years. Among them, the first choice is to be literate and hyphenation, of course, this kind of person is only a very small number after all, after all, with the ability to read and hyphenation, he can't be a eunuch; Next are the young people, among whom the smart and clever ones will be sent to the inner study hall to teach their knowledge; The twenty-four yamen of the inner court, each palace and palace, and many eunuchs in charge are all from this background. For the rest of the places, some strong and healthy people will be selected, but after these people enter the palace, they can only do some rough work, and most of them will not have any interest. ”

After a pause, seeing that Fang Ru was thoughtful, Zhao Junchen continued: "And those people in the Eunuch Alley, ten out of ten are all unsuccessful people, it can be seen that they have their own flaws, or their hearts are not good, or they are too old, or they are lacking in ability, it is not difficult to bribe the eunuchs in charge with some silver, and it is not difficult to send them to the palace, but these people want to get ahead in the inner court, but it is even more difficult, and it will not help us much, at most they can only pass on some irrelevant news, and if you want to control the inner court, the focus is still on the inner study hall, The three major yamen, the celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor. ”

"I see." Although Zhao Junchen explained clearly, Fang Ru became more and more disappointed, only feeling that he had made a fool of himself in front of Zhao Junchen, and said in a low voice: "The master still understands it, and the concubine body takes it for granted." ”

"I can't say that." Zhao Junchen raised his hand and waved lightly, smiled and said with relief: "Your plan is actually not bad, the investment is small, the risk is small, but the harvest is not necessarily low, although it is difficult for these people to enter the palace, but as long as we invest more silver and let them work up and down, it will not necessarily be useless." What's more, Wei Zhongxian was so powerful back then, why didn't he even know how to write his own name? It can be seen that everything is inevitable, but if we are lucky, it may not be impossible to achieve things. ”

was just a word of relief to Fang Ru, but when he said it, even Zhao Junchen himself felt that such a method might not be impossible to try. So as soon as the words fell, Zhao Junchen said to Xu Qingyan again: "Qingyan, since this matter is in charge of you, you must also be careful, if you can really find some talents, we can help each other, speaking of which, the inner court is about to replenish manpower." ”

Xu Qingyan nodded in agreement, and said, "Young master, don't worry, there are countless eunuchs in Eunuch Alley, and there are always a few available people, and I will choose them carefully for the young master." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, and didn't say anything more, just picked up the fold in his hand, hung his head and continued to check.

Zhao Junchen has been preparing for many days, and after several revisions, it is finally almost completed, and the last inspection is being carried out at this time.

Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Fang Rushen couldn't help but flash a trace of helplessness.

Although Zhao Junchen has been calling himself sick these days, he still doesn't see the slightest rest, not only all the winds and grasses in the center of the temple, but he has been keeping an eye on them, never negligent, and all kinds of plans are constantly draining his mind, and there is no relaxation.

For Zhao Junchen, although Fang Ru has persuaded him, Zhao Junchen is now accustomed to thinking about everything and planning from time to time, although he listens to Fang Ru's advice, he can't always be idle.

………

Now, according to Zhao Junchen's illness to the outside world, five days have passed.

However, it is still undecided who should be responsible for the various arrangements of the southern tour.

It's just that when the plan was made, Zhao Junchen and Zhou, Shen, and Huang still underestimated Emperor Deqing's determination to protect the crown prince Zhu Heyu, so thankless, and it is very likely to damage the name of the errand, Emperor Deqing can be handed over to Zhao Junchen, and even to anyone in the court, but will never be handed over to the crown prince Zhu Heyu.

In this way, although Zhu Heyu will petition Emperor Deqing every day, although Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao have been competing for help, although the prince's party is now the most powerful candidate, but because of Emperor Deqing, everyone still can't do it.

And such a stalemate, it can't be decided for a long time, and it will change at any time, which is naturally not conducive to the plan, Zhao Junchen couldn't stand it, and finally decided to take action and "help" Zhu Heyu get what he wanted.

………

And Zhao Junchen's method is the fold in his hand.

After checking the excerpt again, Zhao Junchen suddenly handed it to Fang Ru and said, "Ru'er, look at it, how did I write this excerpt?" ”

Fang Ru was slightly stunned, because Zhao Junchen hadn't let her participate in the affairs of the court for a long time, but he still nodded obediently and took it, opened it and checked it carefully.

However, the more Fang Ru read this excerpt, the more surprised she became.

After reading it, Fang Ru's face was even more incredible, and she asked Zhao Junchen: "Master, do you really want to present this fold to Your Majesty?" ”

It turned out that Zhao Junchen's excerpt was about some preparations for the Southern Tour.

The cost of the southern tour is huge, but it can be summed up in nothing more than five aspects: the honor guard of the southern tour, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the entourage, the arrival and delivery of officials from all over the country, the construction of the palace, and the preparation of the southern tour route.

However, now the central government's advance preparations for the southern tour have only one aspect, that is, "the preparation of the southern tour route".

It is easy to say, but in fact, it involves all aspects, such as the survey of routes, such as the repair of roads, such as the widening of river roads, such as the preparation of dragon boats and carriages, and so on.

And these things are the most likely to cause labor and money.

Zhao Junchen's letter is precisely in view of this, and he came up with a countermeasure.

In general, the construction yì in Zhao Junchen's excerpt can be summarized into three aspects.

First, the survey of the route, the preparation of dragon boats and carriages, etc., were directly responsible for the central center of the imperial court without the hands of the local government, and the required expenses were also borne by the household department and the inner treasury.

In this way, fairness and justice can be achieved, and civil symptoms can be reduced.

Second, road repair and river widening require a large number of migrant labor, in order to reduce the people's grievances, the collection of migrant labor can be left to the people's voluntariness, but once the people join the work, they can get rewards, and the local government can rely on the people's work and efforts to reduce taxes in the next three years, and even those who are good can also get silver rewards. And the people who participate in the work are given priority to those from poor families.

In this way, it can not only save people's power and reduce people's grievances, but also give wealth to the people, give back to the people, and support the poor people.

Third, in order to ensure the quality of the construction of the road and river work, the center can be divided into sections of the road and river, and each state and county of the southern tour path is specifically responsible for the local government, and the center is only responsible for supervision, and according to the length of the road and river section, as well as the difficulty of repairing, the silver is allocated after the audit, but it is not directly involved, and the county is judged after completion, and the speed and quality are excellent.

In this way, not only can the energy and manpower of the imperial court center be saved, but the quality of the project can be maintained, and most importantly, even if something goes wrong in the future, the fault lies with the local government, not the center.

At least in Fang Ru's view, if you do things according to Zhao Junchen's suggestions, the person in charge will not only not provoke public resentment and lose his reputation, but also get praise from both the government and the opposition, which is fame and fortune.

………

Thinking of this, Fang Ru couldn't help but say: "Master, once you present this letter, Your Majesty will definitely hand over the matter to the prince when he sees the benefits, and if the prince also acts according to the policy, this preparation for the southern tour will not only not harm him, but will increase his reputation in the court and the opposition, and win the trust of His Majesty, in this way, isn't it diametrically opposed to your plan, master?" ”

Hearing Fang Ru say this, Zhao Junchen seemed to be smiling and asked, "Do you really think these are good strategies?" ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's leisurely expression, Fang Ru couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking for a while, he still nodded.

Zhao Junchen smiled and said leisurely: "In this world, good intentions and malice, the two are actually the most indistinguishable, take the preparation of this southern tour as an example, I want the prince to be personally responsible for this matter, it seems to be well-intentioned, but there is the idea of framing him in my heart, and the three 'good strategies' I am preparing now, in addition to secretly helping the prince get what he wants, the effect is also the same." ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen sighed a little more emotionally, and said: "Throughout the ages, between the government and the opposition, there are countless so-called good policies, but how many can end up with good results?" Why? First, the timing and environment are inappropriate, second, it is taken for granted, and third, the person who is specifically responsible has different intentions. However, my three so-called 'good policies' are all accounted for, and they seem to have good prospects, but after they are implemented, I am afraid that the harm will be even greater than that of the usual practice. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Fang Ru lΓΉ out of a thoughtful god.
