Over the past few days, Zhao Junchen has experienced in officialdom and experienced countless open and secret battles, but he finally understood a truth.
That is, the more elaborate and complex a plan is, the more steps are involved, the more prerequisites are required to succeed, and the more likely it is to have unexpected deviations during the plan.
This is the truth that Zhao Junchen learned when he and the three elders of Zhou, Shen, and Huang calculated the prince Zhu and Yu together.
…………
At the beginning, Zhao Junchen and the three pavilion elders calculated the prince Zhu and Yu together, the integrated power is not strong, and the plan designed is not ingenious, through the prince Zhu and Yu to take over the preparations for the southern tour, through guò private troublemaking and deception, so that the prince's original virtuous reputation was ruined, so that Emperor Deqing began to doubt the ability of the prince Zhu and Yu, so that the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who supported the prince was completely eradicated!
If such a plan can really be achieved, now the crown prince Zhu Heyu's position as the prince is already crumbling!
However, the final effect is greatly reduced.
Today, although the power and reputation of the crown prince Zhu and Yu have been damaged, they have not shaken their foundation. Moreover, Emperor Deqing also sent Cheng Yuandao, a die-hard supporter of Zhu Heyu, into the cabinet as a cabinet elder, and intended to let Wang Baoren, the secretary of Nanjing's official department, serve as the new prince and prince, so that the forces of Nanjing's six departments could join the prince's camp!
Although Zhao Junchen still has a series of follow-up plans, he doesn't care about the gains and losses at this time; Although the fundamental purpose of Zhou Shangjing's participation in such a plan was to take the opportunity to eradicate the former prince and master Xiao Wenruan; But I have to admit that after such calculations, in a way, the power influence of the prince's party has become more and more powerful!
And the reason for this is because the plan designed by Zhao Junchen and the three pavilion elders was too elaborate and complicated, and once there was an accident in the middle, it would backfire.
Outcome. An unexpected situation really appeared, that is, the sudden birth of He Ming's extermination case! But it disrupted all the deployments of Zhao Junchen and others.
Coupled with the unexplained death of Xiao Wenruan and the death of the two princes and teachers in succession, Emperor Deqing suspected that someone was deliberately targeting the prince, so he changed his original position and began to fully support the prince Zhu and Yu. And with the full support of Emperor Deqing, the power of the prince's party. On the contrary, it is more and more powerful!
It was also this incident that Zhao Junchen learned a lesson and understood the drawbacks of the so-called "conspiracy".
The so-called "conspiracy" is, after all, just a trick, and it can only be used for a while, and only odd and positive complement each other. is the key to success.
…………
It is still the case to deal with the prince Zhu Heyu, who has not succeeded in his power and acted in a tenacious manner, and now Zhao Junchen wants to be enemies with Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, the three elders of the pavilion, at the same time, and start a comprehensive party struggle for power, which is naturally even more so.
The partisan struggle between the temples, everyone controls a lot of resources, and small actions in private. No one can hide from anyone, and if you want to win by trickery, I am afraid that it will backfire.
Therefore, this time, Zhao Junchen planned to attack the three pavilion elders in a dignified manner. The first step of the plan was to collect all kinds of criminal evidence from the three officials under the old cabinet through the inspection power of the Guò West Factory, and start investigating the minor crimes. Impeachment starts with low-ranking officials, and attacks from the bottom up!
And the reason why Wei Huai suddenly asked to see Zhao Junchen tonight was precisely to hand over all the incriminating evidence collected by Xichang to Zhao Junchen for review.
…………
In the study, Zhao Junchen took over all the criminal evidence collected by Wei Huai from Xu Qingyan, although it was only the criminal evidence collected in the early stage, but among the three subordinate officials of the elder, it was obvious that few of them were clean. It's still a thick pile. Between flipping through the pages, Zhao Junchen nodded from time to time, and his expression flashed with satisfaction.
On the other side, Wei Huai was in a wheelchair. Waiting quietly not far in front of Zhao Junchen, although he still looked silent, but in his originally gloomy gaze, there was a little hesitation and hesitation.
In fact, when Zhao Junchen announced to the core officials of the "Zhao Party" that he would launch an offensive with the three cabinet elders to seize power in an all-round way, Wei Huai did not agree.
Because Wei Huai believes that with Zhao Junchen's current power and influence, it is not enough to be enemies with the three pavilion elders of Zhou, Shen and Huang, even if Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao are not discussed, just assisting Zhou Shangjing, regardless of the influence of power or mental means, it will be far superior to Zhao Junchen.
It can be said that being the enemy of the three pavilion elders at the same time like this, even if it is not considered a suicide, is definitely asking for trouble.
However, at that time, Wei Huai, firstly, believed in Zhao Junchen's mental city, and secondly, he was to maintain Zhao Junchen's majesty, so he did not refute it face-to-face, but just acted according to Zhao Junchen's instructions.
However, in the past two days, no matter how Wei Huai scrutinized and collected information, he still couldn't guess Zhao Junchen's true intentions, let alone find any chance that Zhao Junchen and the three pavilion elders would have any chance of winning behind enemy lines at the same time.
…………
And just when Wei Huai was thinking about how to speak, Zhao Junchen had already read all the criminal evidence collected by the West Factory, and then put the thick pile of criminal evidence in his hand, nodded to Wei Huai and said with a smile: "The West Factory is really reassuring, but in just two days, it is difficult for you to collect so much criminal evidence." ”
Wei Huai was silent for a moment, and then replied: "My lord is too prestigious, because I think that you will use these things sooner or later, so after taking over the West Factory, I have been paying attention to collecting, and the three subordinate officials of the elders, Zhou Shangjing and his faction still know a little bit of restraint, but the subordinate officials of Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, relying on the support of the elders of the court, are unscrupulous, and it is not very difficult to collect evidence of their crimes. ”
After a pause, Wei Huai finally couldn't help it and asked, "My lord, do you really plan to be the enemy of those three pavilion elders at the same time?" ”
Zhao Junchen smiled and asked rhetorically, "Didn't I already explain things to you the day before yesterday?" How? Even you think I shouldn't have done that? ”
Wei Huai lowered slightly: "I think that with your mental means, you have your own reasons and chances of doing this, and you will never act blindly, but those three pavilion elders have been operating in the court for many years, and their influence has long been deep-rooted, and they are enemies at the same time, and they feel that our chances of winning are not high." ”
Wei Huai's words, although they are good, have a meaning outside the words. But it is reminding Zhao Junchen that if there is no necessary reason and a certain chance of winning, he should never do this.
Zhao Junchen naturally understood the meaning of Wei Huai's words.
Speaking of which, among Zhao Junchen's subordinate officials, if it comes to scheming, Wei Huai should be the highest, and now even Wei Huai has not guessed his true intentions. A hint of satisfaction flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes.
Although Zhao Junchen trusted Wei Huai's loyalty to him, his next plan was very important, and he was unwilling to let Wei Huai know his detailed plan.
What's more, in this era, the mysteriousness of the superior is also one of the commonly used means of the emperor.
But. Wei Huai's position and role are important after all, so after Zhao Junchen pondered for a while, he decided to reveal more of his plan to Wei Huai, so that Wei Huai could know in his heart.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen smiled again, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I'm not so blind and arrogant." Now I can still see the difference in strength between me and the three elders. And next, although it is said that I want to be enemies with the three pavilion elders at the same time, there are also predecessors and backs, there are masters and secondaries, at least before His Majesty's southern tour, I will only focus on Huang Yourong, as for Shen Changmao and Zhou Shangjing, it is only maintained in a small-scale conflict. It is just to lay the groundwork for the expansion of the conflict in the future, otherwise, after the southern tour, it will be difficult to clash with them again. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Wei Huai seemed to have guessed something, but he couldn't think clearly. couldn't help but hesitate: "My lord, what do you mean......?" ”
Zhao Junchen didn't answer the question, and said, "Mr. Wei, now that His Majesty is about to tour the south, Zhou Fu and I will accompany you." The ministers who stay in Beijing and the auxiliary government have to be chosen between Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, so in your opinion, which of these two people has more hope of staying in Beijing? ”
Wei Huai pondered for a moment and replied: "I heard that His Majesty is more inclined to Huang Yourong to stay in Beijing as an auxiliary government, and I want to be the old Huang Ge to stay in Beijing to serve as an auxiliary government. ”
Zhao Junchen nodded and smiled, and said: "Therefore, I have to rush before His Majesty's southern tour, conflict with Huang Yourong, and weaken the power in Huang Yourong's hands as much as possible, and only in this way, when His Majesty is on his southern tour, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who stayed in Beijing to supervise the country, can have an advantage over Huang Yourong and not be suppressed by Huang Yourong. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, and then connecting with Zhao Junchen's words before and after, Wei Huai's eyes lit up, and he finally grasped the context of Zhao Junchen's plan!
Although Zhao Junchen is now clearly planning to be enemies with the three elders of the court, in fact, he is only mainly targeting Huang Yourong. And after Zhao Junchen struck at Huang Yourong's forces, during Emperor Deqing's southern tour, Huang Yourong's powerful influence will inevitably usher in a period of weakness, and he can no longer suppress the crown prince Zhu Heyu who stayed in Beijing to supervise the country! And the center of the capital will also form a situation in which the prince and one party dominate in a short period of time!
And with the heart of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, as long as he teases it slightly, it is enough for him to do a lot of thankless "right stupid things" during this time, and the government and the opposition will inevitably usher in a period of turmoil because of these "right stupid things".
Then, only when the situation in the government and the opposition was turbulent, and Zhao Junchen returned to Beijing after his southern tour, he was able to take advantage of the chaotic situation to fish in troubled waters and truly expand the power in his hands.
It's just that at that time, in the face of the chaos in the court, Emperor Deqing will inevitably do his best to stabilize the situation and prevent other things that will further disturb the situation in the government and the opposition, which naturally includes partisan strife in the court.
And Zhao Junchen's upcoming party struggle with the three elders, at that time, will become a foreshadowing, as long as this conflict is slightly expanded, he can naturally participate in the chaotic situation, even Emperor Deqing, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop. And because this conflict was born before the chaos of the situation, Emperor Deqing would not think much about it, and would only regard it as part of the chaotic situation.
The best thing is that at that time, even if Zhao Junchen is unfavorable in the party struggle, if he wants to get rid of this conflict, under the mentality of Emperor Deqing to maintain stability, with the strength of Emperor Deqing, it is very easy.
And these are Zhao Junchen's real plans.
As for being enemies with the three elders at the same time, the all-out party struggle for power seems to be huge, but at this time, it is just a cover to cover people's ears!
Although Zhao Junchen did not explain to Wei Huai the core part of this plan - that is, how to provoke the crown prince Zhu Heyu to do those "right stupid things", and what "right stupid things" he planned to let the prince Zhu and Yu do, Wei Huai did not ask.
In fact, now that Zhao Junchen can explain his plan to Wei Huai, he already treats Wei Huai as a real confidant.
Thinking of this, Wei Huai's expression rarely flashed a little gratitude and admiration, and he said: "Your Excellency is far-reaching, and you are humble and admired." ”
Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said: "I treat you as a real confidant, and these things, even Zuolanshan Zhan Shanchang and they don't know about them, you have to pay attention to this, don't disclose it to others." ”
Wei Huai nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, the plan of the adult, the humble duty will definitely be tight-lipped and will never live up to your trust in the humble position." ”
"That's good, I can trust you too." While speaking, Zhao Junchen patted the pile of incriminating evidence on the desk, turned his head to look at the night outside the window, and said leisurely: "Now that everything is in place, we are just waiting for the show to appear."
