Next, Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen left the "Tongji Temple" in a carriage and returned to the capital.
Halfway through the journey, Emperor Deqing had been reading the "Three Treatises Sutra" given to him by Zhang Daoquan with a serious face, and his expression was unprecedentedly focused. He expected to gain some enlightenment from such a sutra, but he was no longer idle.
I ignored Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen was also happy and relaxed, just thinking secretly about everything that happened in the "Tongji Temple" today.
Before this, Zhao Junchen had never looked down upon Zhang Daoquan as a magic stick - no matter how talented a stick he was, he was just a stick after all - but after what happened today, Zhao Junchen had a different view of Zhang Daoquan.
After looking at each other, I just felt that Zhang Daoquan's method of leading Emperor Deqing to deceive himself was worth learning from.
"But at the same time, the control and monitoring of Zhang Daoquan must be further strengthened, because Emperor Deqing obviously has deep trust in him. If nothing else happens, this trust relationship will be further deepened and strengthened in the future...
....
Under such circumstances, just a few words from Zhang Daoquan were enough to influence Emperor Deqing's decision. It was so important that he could no longer be regarded as an ordinary chess piece! If he is still willing to be driven by me in the future, there will naturally be countless benefits.
Get twice the result with half the effort, but if he develops dissent and does his own thing in the future, it will undoubtedly be a serious problem and must be guarded against...
In fact, today because of my hint, he was forced to directly reject Emperor Deqing's proposal to build a temple. This matter will inevitably arouse his dissatisfaction, and may have planted the seeds of dissatisfaction in him. He must try to appease him as soon as possible.
He is the best...
However, Zhang Daoquan was extremely ambitious about missionary work and wanted to establish a sect and call him his ancestor. Emperor Deqing's proposal would undoubtedly make his dream come true quickly, but in the end he was blocked by me.
How to make compensation to satisfy Zhang Daoquan is also a big problem... If we give him too much benefit, it will undoubtedly be a waste of resources, and I myself won't bear it, but if I can't appease and compensate him as soon as possible, he will
The dissatisfaction in the heart will become stronger and stronger, and eventually there will be worries of losing control...
In this way, it seems that the only thing we can do is give him a picture. Although we cannot give him real benefits in time, we can definitely promise him some bright prospects for the future... As for whether the promise can be realized in the future, it is another matter.
....
Hey! I always feel that because Emperor Deqing was so obsessed with the matter of finding immortals and visiting Taoism, my plan to use the Tongji Temple to confuse him turned out to be surprisingly effective. However, this situation has the opposite effect.
This is a sign that the development of things is slightly out of control. If you do not operate properly, you may even shoot yourself in the foot..."
While thinking deeply, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but frown.
In this way, Emperor Deqing read the scriptures carefully, while Zhao Junchen focused on thinking about his follow-up plan, and the carriage fell into an atmosphere of silence for a while.
Because Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen were both focused on their own thoughts, time passed quickly. Zhang De drove the carriage and quickly returned to the capital.
However, when the carriage entered the capital city and was walking in the middle of the road, an accident happened in front of the road.
I saw a carriage transporting goods suddenly overturned and blocked the road. In the end, not only the driver was injured and the goods were scattered, but the injured driver also had a conflict with several passers-by. They claimed that these passers-by crossed the road and caused the overturn.
After the accident, the surrounding people stopped to watch. It seemed that the dispute would not be resolved for a while. The entire road was blocked. Zhang De had no choice but to stop the carriage and wait.
In fact, this accident was not an accident, but a deliberate arrangement by Zhao Junchen. Xu Qingyan was not with Zhao Junchen during this period just to arrange the matter secretly.
According to Zhao Junchen's original plan, he should have suggested that Emperor Deqing go to a nearby teahouse to wait for a while, drink tea and listen to the storytellers in the teahouse telling stories. At this time, the content of the stories told by the storytellers was naturally from
It was Zhao Junchen's deliberate arrangement that Song Huancheng, a famous upright official and a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, fainted from hunger in public at the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
In Zhao Junchen's overall arrangement, his next plan is to promote the salary increase for all officials. At this time, Emperor Deqing heard this story with his own ears by "coincidence", and also let Emperor Deqing witness it with his own eyes.
Seeing the "true reactions" of the people around him after hearing the story will naturally pave the way for his subsequent plans.
However, after Zhao Junchen experienced the "Tongji Temple" incident, he temporarily changed his mind.
As the saying goes, "the beholder is clear". Zhao Junchen was a clear observer of Zhang Daoquan's method of guiding Emperor Deqing to deceive him. He could even surmise that Zhang Daoquan wanted to take advantage of the human habit of "thinking day by day and dreaming at night" to make Emperor Deqing deceive him.
He mistakenly believed that his future dreams were inspired by immortals, which further deepened Emperor Deqing's obsession with seeking immortality.
Zhang Daoquan is still under Zhao Junchen's control, so Zhao Junchen does not intend to destroy Zhang Daoquan's plan. Naturally, he does not want Emperor Deqing to be distracted by other things at this time. It is best to let him continue to focus on thinking about immortals.
Due to fate, the probability that Emperor Deqing will be "entrusted with dreams" by immortals in the past few nights will be greater.
According to Zhao Junchen's speculation, Emperor Deqing will visit "Tongji Temple" many times from now on, so there will be many opportunities for Emperor Deqing to accidentally enter the teahouse to listen to storytelling, so there is no need to rush.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Zhao Junchen did not propose to Emperor Deqing to leave the carriage and go to the teahouse to drink tea. He completely ignored the situation that the carriage was blocked in the middle of the road and was still thinking about his own affairs secretly.
However, at this moment, perhaps because Xu Qingyan, who was hiding in the dark, saw that Emperor Deqing and Zhao Junchen had not appeared for a long time, a teahouse waiter suddenly appeared around the carriage and rushed towards the people who were blocked in the middle of the road.
There were several carriages and sedans, loudly publicizing and soliciting customers: "Dear guests, the road ahead will obviously not be clear for a while. You are always uncomfortable sitting in carriages and sedans. Why don't you come to my 'Zhang's Teahouse' for a drink?"
Are you waiting for tea? 'Zhang's Tea House' is just a few steps away. The tea is always fragrant and reasonably priced. Mr. Zhang, the most famous commentator in the capital, is about to stop in the tea house to give a lecture. All guests are drinking tea.
Wouldn’t it be nice to listen to a book while waiting for the roads to be restored?”
In this era, people who could use carriages and sedans to travel around were all wealthy and did not care about a little tea money. Moreover, they were obviously impatient to wait and felt that they were trapped in carriages and sedans for a long time and could not stretch their bodies.
Feeling uncomfortable, they all left their carriages and sedans and entered the "Zhang's Tea House" next to them one after another.
But Zhao Junchen remained unmoved, pretending that he didn't hear it, and hoped that Emperor Deqing didn't hear it either.
However, Emperor Deqing was not deaf after all. Not only did he hear the teahouse waiter soliciting customers, but his expression changed after hearing the teahouse waiter soliciting customers, as if he had thought of something.
It was also because of Zhang Daoquan's words in the "Tongji Temple" that Emperor Deqing now dared not ignore any accident he encountered in his daily life. He was worried that these accidents were opportunities arranged by God and that he would miss them again.
It was precisely because of this mentality at this moment that Emperor Deqing adhered to the idea of "actively trying when encountering any accident", but he took the initiative to look up at Zhao Junchen and said: "What this guy said makes sense, that's it.
Being trapped here is not an option. I am tired from running around today, so I just happened to go to the roadside teahouse to drink tea to relieve my fatigue."
Zhao Junchen advised: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, we'd better return to the palace as soon as possible! If we delay the time and let Qingliu know about your private visit again, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.
...Since the road in front of us is different, let’s take a detour.”
Emperor Deqing shook his head, but stood firm and said: "We are now blocked in the middle of the road. Not only is there a rollover accident in front, but there are also several cars blocked behind. Moreover, the road is not wide, so why not
Is there room to turn around? Or go to a roadside teahouse and drink tea while waiting. It shouldn’t take much time.”
After saying that, Emperor Deqing took the "Three Treatises on Sutra" in his arms and walked out of the carriage first without waiting for Zhao Junchen to continue to object.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Junchen shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to follow.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen secretly thought: "In the past few days, there have always been various accidents that disrupted my plans. Although the results are pretty good, there is always a situation that gradually gets out of control.
Feel......
Maybe it's because I have too many calculations in my mind? You know, the more careful the calculations and the more complex the plan, the more susceptible it is to various unexpected situations...
Perhaps, as my own strength further increases, I should abandon my current style of doing things and instead follow Zhou Shangjing's example of following the trend and guiding the general trend...
After all, with my current status and power, the most important thing has become to guide the situation and control variables, rather than using conspiracies and tricks to gain more profits for myself... These conspiracies and tricks certainly bring a lot of benefits,
But after all, it is not on the table, and there are many variables, which will naturally give people a sense of hesitation with unknown pros and cons..."
In this way, while reflecting on himself, Zhao Junchen followed Emperor Deqing into the "Zhang's Tea House" next to the road.
