Zhao Junchen said that Emperor Deqing was suspicious and difficult to deal with. In fact, once a person is in a high position, he will inevitably subconsciously trust the people around him less and be more wary. (Novel Network)
Even Zhao Junchen himself is now accustomed to thinking about problems from the perspective of "evil nature". He is always secretly guarding against his colleagues in the court, his subordinates, and even his close associates when they use him.
Since coming to this world, the only person Zhao Junchen truly trusted was Xu Qingyan, but Xu Qingyan's ability and mind made him unfit for reuse.
Sometimes, Zhao Junchen even wonders whether the reason why he trusts Xu Qingyan so much, in addition to knowing Xu Qingyan thoroughly, is also because Xu Qingyan's ability and mind are only ordinary, and his mind is simple, so he can easily be manipulated and seen through by him?
Although Zhao Junchen always hated Xu Qingyan, but thinking about it conversely, if one day Xu Qingyan's ability and mental ability soared beyond Zhao Junchen's expectations, and even made Zhao Junchen feel that he could not control it, then would Zhao Junchen still be able to do it?
Do you trust him as much as you do now?
This kind of thought has often appeared in Zhao Junchen's mind in recent days, but Zhao Junchen always subconsciously did not dare to think deeply.
Because, if he thought it through, Zhao Junchen was afraid that he would even hate himself.
“People say that ‘it’s always cold at high places’, but does the cold at high places come from the environment or from the human heart?”
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen murmured to himself.
………
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's soft words to himself, Fang Ru next to him asked curiously.
Zhao Junchen smiled and shook his head, calming down the sudden complicated thoughts, and said: "Pour me a cup of tea to moisten your throat. Holding this cinnamon in your mouth will make your throat hoarse, but it is also really uncomfortable."
Fang Ru quickly went to pour tea for Zhao Junchen, then held it in her hand and blew it gently until the temperature was right, then she held it in front of Zhao Junchen and watched Zhao Junchen slowly drink it with a focused expression, quite like a little woman.
the taste of.
While Zhao Junchen was drinking tea to moisten his throat, he was thinking about his arrangement with Fang Ru.
After these days of observation, Zhao Junchen was basically relieved about Fang Ru's thoughts. Considering Fang Ru's ability, it would be a waste to just let her idle like this.
Zhao Junchen does not intend to let Fang Ru intervene in official affairs, but Fang Ru can help with some arrangements under the si. For example, the matter of "Yue Rongfang" seems to be just an ordinary shop, but it is
It involves many interests of Zhao Junchen's faction.
Moreover, according to Zhao Junchen's established plan, the manufacturing and sales of glass, and the development and arrangement of Jenny's spinning machine will soon be put on the agenda. The profitability of these two things is much higher than that of "Yue Rongfang"
Soap and perfume are most suitable for wooing court officials and tying up with certain forces and interests.
In addition, Zhao Junchen still lacks an effective intelligence network to monitor various changes in the government and the opposition.
As for the arrangement and responsibility for these matters, Fang Ru is a more suitable candidate.
Thinking like this, Zhao Junchen raised his head and said to Fang Ru: "Ru'er, the affairs at Yuerongfang have always been in charge of the house steward Zhao An. However, although Zhao An is more than safe, he is not courageous enough.
No matter how big or small the matter is, he always asks me for instructions, not to mention how much time he will waste by doing so. I don't have time to take care of the affairs of Yuerongfang. During this period, the branches of Yuerongfang are expanding, and therefore
It’s a lot slower. What I mean is, you will be responsible for arranging things over there from now on, what do you think?”
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Fang Ru couldn't help but look happy. Firstly, Zhao Junchen called her "Ru'er", which made her feel much closer than before. Secondly, Fang Ru had become accustomed to working for Zhao Junchen over the years and treated her as such.
In order to increase his weight in Zhao Junchen's heart, Zhao Junchen now uses her again to show his trust and make Fang Ru feel at ease.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Fang Ru nodded in agreement, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and said softly: "Master, if you believe me, then I will help share the burden. I will not let you do anything for Yuerongfang anymore."
It just takes trouble."
Seeing that Fang Ru looked ordinary but couldn't help but secretly be happy, Zhao Junchen smiled and shook his head and said: "Over there at Yuerongfang, it's actually difficult for me not to bother. Things are not what you think.
Simple, the dividends of each period of "Yue Rong Fang" are related to whether my power foundation is stable and cannot be ignored. In addition, with the expansion of "Yue Rong Fang", I also intend to take the opportunity to cultivate a group of available manpower.
, I will open two other properties in a few days, and the profit will be much higher than that of Yuerongfang. With available manpower, it will be much more convenient then."
Having said this, Zhao Junchen's face straightened, and he said: "In addition, among these available people, I also have the intention to select some smart and loyal people to build an intelligence network in the center of the capital. Now we are just like blind people in the capital.
Like a deaf person, let alone the slightest sign of trouble, even some big things are always an afterthought. If this situation continues, you will suffer big losses sooner or later in the future, but you must prepare as early as possible."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Fang Ru's face became serious. After thinking for a moment, she nodded seriously to Zhao Junchen and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will start to arrange these things."
Zhao Junchen also nodded and said with a smile: "I can rest assured that you will do the work."
Seeing Zhao Junchen's attitude like this, Fang Ru couldn't help but feel happy again, her big eyes curved into two crescents.
On the other side, Xu Qingyan was not very happy. Although Fang Ru had gained Zhao Junchen's trust and was no longer a hidden danger, due to the various conflicts between the two in the past, there were countless old grievances and conflicts. For Fang Ru's existence
, Xu Qingyan still disliked it.
Seeing that he couldn't get in the middle of the discussion between Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Master, after all, it's just a trivial matter at Yuerongfang. If you claim to be sick now, even if it's
Officials who are close to Zuo Lanshan and Zhan Shanchang also avoid seeing each other. Do they really not care about the matters in the temple?"
Zhao Junchen said softly: "It's okay. I just fell ill now, and I will act like I'm ill when I'm sick. Naturally, Zuo Lanshan and Zhan Shanchang can't see each other yet, otherwise they will show their flaws, and I can just take advantage of the opportunity."
, look at the ability and loyalty of these people. What's more, His Majesty's attitude is clear now. Even if Zuo Lanshan and the others can't handle my rights and interests in the court, Your Majesty will help me. If necessary, I can.
You can recover at any time, so you don’t need to worry about it. We can just watch the show with peace of mind about the turmoil in the temple."
After a pause, Zhao Junchen smiled softly and said: "Actually, I pretended to be sick this time, and of course I was acting according to the plan, but those seniors probably had their own plans. As I retreated behind the scenes,
The mutual checks and balances among the factions in the center of the temple will also be broken. If my prediction is correct, I am afraid there will be some chaos in the court. The arrangement of the southern tour is only one part of it.
In contrast, what I really look forward to is what actions Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao, Huang Yourong and Prince Zhu Heyu will take advantage of the chaos. If the time is right, although I am not good at fishing in troubled waters, I can
