After hearing Wang Baoren's words, Zhu Hejian's eyes flashed slightly, his expression was solemn, and he whispered to himself: "Yangmou..."
Zhu Hejian was actually most worried about Zhou Shangjing's conspiracy methods, because conspiracies often have solutions, and Zhu Hejian himself was good at conspiracy, but conspiracy often meant that there was no solution and a decision had to be made.
In fact, Zhu Hejian was forced to come to Nanjing to work because of Zhou Shangjing's conspiracy.
Therefore, Zhu Hejian's attitude became more sincere and he said again: "I hope Grand Master Wang will not hesitate to teach me."
Seeing Zhu Hejian's respectful attitude, Wang Baoren's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
He is the prince's grand master and is responsible for teaching and assisting the prince. His future career is also closely related to the prince. Zhu Hejian is a well-known quasi-prince, so now not only Zhu Hejian wants to win over Wang Baoren for his own use, but Wang Baoren also wants to
To deepen his influence on Zhu Hejian.
Therefore, Wang Baoren finally stopped talking and said slowly: "The best thing about Zhou Shangjing is that he is good at setting up some idle chess foreshadowings. These idle chess foreshadowings may seem temporarily useless and unattractive, but at certain moments they are
Can play a key role...that's the case now!
A few months ago, Zhou Shangjing's protégé Ma Sen, the former minister of household affairs, was kicked out of the household ministry by Zhao Junchen, so Zhou Shangjing arranged for Ma Sen to be sent to Nanjing to serve as the left deputy censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate... When the temple party struggle failed,
The loser was often sent to Nanjing to idle for a period of time. This was the court's practice, so no one thought there was anything wrong at first.
But according to my opinion, Zhou Shangjing’s plan for His Highness the Seventh Prince has already started since then!"
Hearing this, Zhu Hejian's expression became more serious.
When Ma Sen was expelled from the Ministry of Household Affairs and transferred to the position of deputy censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhou Shangjing had not shown any hostility towards Zhu Hejian. If Zhou Shangjing had already begun to secretly plot against Zhu Hejian at that time, such deep scheming would be extremely terrifying.
!
Wang Baoren's expression was full of praise, as if he truly admired Zhou Shangjing's tactics, and continued: "After Ma Sen came to Nanjing officialdom, his words and deeds did not look like a 'Zhou Party' official at all, but more like
The loyal supporters of His Highness the Seventh Prince spread the word to everyone about His Highness the Seventh Prince's benevolence, righteousness and wisdom...
At that time, Zhou Shangjing had not used public opinion and newspapers to roast His Highness the Seventh Prince on the fire! Therefore, after Ma Sen’s unremitting publicity and campaign for several months, the expectations of all walks of life in Nanjing for His Highness the Seventh Prince were abnormal.
So high, and when Zhou Shangjing uses public opinion and newspapers to force the Seventh Prince, the impact on all walks of life in Nanjing will be even deeper!"
Hearing this, Zhu Hejian's expression changed again, and he had vaguely guessed the truth about Zhou Shangjing's conspiracy.
Seeing Zhu Hejian's thoughtful expression, Wang Baoren was also very satisfied with Zhu Hejian's intelligence and acumen, and said again: "Originally, I was a little surprised by Ma Sen's performance at the beginning, but after Zhou Shangjing saw it, he understood everything.
!
Your Majesty's idea was originally a good one. Let His Highness the Seventh Prince come to Nanjing in the name of ancestor worship and hide in secret to assist me in dealing with the Six Ministries of Nanjing. After the dust settles, if the plan succeeds, His Highness the Seventh Prince will make great achievements.
If the plan fails, no one will be able to discover His Highness the Seventh Prince's mistake. It can be said to be foolproof...
However, Zhou Shangjing has been fighting openly and secretly with His Majesty for decades, and he is very familiar with His Majesty's methods. He has obviously guessed this situation, so he arranged for Ma Sen to arrive in Nanjing in advance to lay out...
Hehe, His Highness the Seventh Prince now has a very high prestige in the hearts of all the forces in Nanjing. Moreover, all walks of life in Nanjing have suffered a lot of injustice due to the various chaos in the Sixth Department of Nanjing in recent times. Many people are secretly looking forward to it.
I hope His Highness the Seventh Prince can uphold justice for them!
Under such circumstances, once the central government's plan against the Six Ministries of Nanjing proceeds to the next step, and a riot occurs against the Six Ministries of Nanjing, all it takes is a little guidance from someone who is concerned, and all walks of life in Nanjing will not worry about whether His Highness the Seventh Prince is.
With the relevant power, they will inevitably come to His Highness the Seventh Prince, hoping that His Highness will step forward in time to take charge of the overall situation. At that time, there will be no way for His Highness the Seventh Prince to stay out of the matter and will inevitably be involved in this turmoil.
!”
Hearing this, although Zhu Hejian had vague predictions, his expression still changed drastically!
When he came to Nanjing this time, his biggest reliance was the strategy of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages proposed by Emperor Deqing. But now he discovered that Zhou Shangjing had been prepared for it. Emperor Deqing's method of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages would not work at all.
No matter what happens, Zhu Hejian must stand up and bear the responsibility and consequences. He is undoubtedly in danger!
Thinking of this, Zhu Hejian hated Zhou Shangjing's insidiousness and despicableness in his heart, but on the surface he just showed a hint of helplessness and hesitation, saying: "It seems that this junior's hunch is correct. Zhou Shoufu has indeed set up a trap for this junior in Nanjing."
A trap!
Moreover, Zhou Shoufu's methods are as clever as ever. Just like what Wang Taishi said before, if you want to forcefully stop such a conspiracy, it will only be counterproductive. The younger generation can only be forced to accept it and face the challenge head-on!
When people from all walks of life in Nanjing beg the junior to uphold justice, the junior must make a decision immediately, whether to agree to the request and stand up to take charge of the overall situation...
In fact, the junior has no other choice. At this time, he can only stand up and uphold justice for all walks of life in Nanjing. Otherwise, it will not only affect the reputation of the junior, but also make everyone in the world think that the junior is cold-hearted and irresponsible. When things go smoothly in Nanjing Sixth Department
After the solution is resolved, the younger generation will not be able to share the credit, nor will they have the opportunity to reverse their weak image of lacking independent opinions!
Therefore, under the current circumstances, the only thing that juniors have to consider is what should they do when the time comes to stand up for justice for all walks of life in Nanjing, so as to minimize the risks and disadvantages and reap the maximum benefits!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Hejian showed hesitation, as if he could not come up with a proper solution in a short period of time, so he asked Wang Baoren again for advice: "However, the situation in Nanjing is too complicated, and I can't think clearly at the moment."
Detailed, but you, Grand Master Wang, have already understood everything and must have prepared countermeasures, but I wonder if you can give me some advice to the younger generation?"
Zhu Hejian's performance was just right. It not only showed a certain degree of calmness and wisdom, which made Wang Baoren very satisfied with his quality performance; it also reflected his trust and dependence on Wang Baoren, making Wang Baoren feel that Zhu Hejian valued him.
meaning.
In fact, since he discovered that Wang Baoren had regained his former sharpness and sharpness, Zhu Hejian had already made up his mind to win Wang Baoren onto his ship. Once he had Wang Baoren's full assistance, Zhu Hejian would definitely be even more powerful in the future. This time
The trip to Nanjing is totally worth it!
Therefore, at this time, Zhu Hejian's main thoughts were already on Wang Baoren, and he wanted to win Wang Baoren's favor with all his strength, but he was not particularly worried about the trap set by Zhou Shangjing.
In Zhu Hejian's view, Zhou Shangjing is still thousands of miles away in the capital city center, and is beyond his reach to Nanjing. As long as he and Wang Baoren combine their wisdom, they will be able to successfully overcome this difficulty!
On the other side, seeing Zhu Hejian's humbly asking for advice, Wang Baoren was indeed extremely satisfied.
Although Wang Baoren has regained his original sharpness and sharpness, he did not know Zhu Hejian's true temperament, and it was inevitable that he had misjudged it. At this time, he only felt that Zhu Hejian was a piece of fine jade, and the calmness and wisdom he displayed were enough to convince Wang Baoren.
Wang Baoren has high hopes and a bright future, and the respect and humility he shows are enough for Wang Baoren to play his role. He can be said to be an ideal prince.
Therefore, after Wang Baoren nodded with satisfaction, he had obviously already thought of a countermeasure, and said slowly: "The biggest advantage of Zhou Shangjing is the word 'both public and private', so even if he has other ideas, he will never
Secretly sabotaging the central government's plan to regain power would only create some variables at most!
Therefore, as long as Zhou Shangjing does not secretly stumble and hold back, the imperial court center's plan to take back power has reached this stage and there is absolutely no chance of failure. Even if there are some uncontrollable variables, everything can be done at any time by me.
Take action!
In my opinion, Zhou Shangjing's current approach is actually just the first step. It is just to force His Highness the Seventh Prince to stand up and take responsibility, and to test His Highness the Seventh Prince's courage and responsibility! But after His Highness the Seventh Prince stands up and takes responsibility, he will inevitably
There is also a follow-up method, which is to constantly raise various problems and force His Highness the Seventh Prince to deal with them personally!
However, as long as you understand the bottom line of Zhou Shangjing's principles, you can guess that the difficult problems he has prepared, even if they are a bit tricky, will never affect the court's overall plan, but they will definitely put His Highness the Seventh Prince in a dilemma!
Therefore, although I cannot accurately guess all of the difficult problems Zhou Shangjing has prepared, I can still estimate the general range!"
After speaking, Wang Baoren raised his hand and waved lightly.
The next moment, a young scholar standing behind Wang Baoren had already taken out a booklet from his arms, and then presented the booklet to the seventh prince Zhu Hejian with both hands.
In fact, Zhu Hejian had long noticed that Wang Baoren was always followed by six Confucian scholars. These six people were old and young, with different images, but all of them were distinguished, shrewd and confident. Wang Baoren was always talking with Zhu Hejian.
I never thought of avoiding them.
Obviously, these six Confucian scholars are Wang Baoren's confidants, and they are deeply trusted by Wang Baoren in terms of ability and loyalty.
But when Zhu Hejian welcomed Wang Baoren to Beijing last time and had first contact with Wang Baoren, he only met two of the six Confucian scholars, and the other four met them for the first time.
"It seems that Wang Baoren has been staying in Nanjing for more than half a year, not just to implement the imperial court center's plan to take over power, but also to take the opportunity to find many outstanding talents to assist him... Moreover, these staff are only on Wang Baoren's face.
Harvest, I must have prepared more things in private! From this point of view, when Wang Baoren returns to the capital after finishing his affairs in Nanjing, he must be fully prepared and it is inevitable that he will win!"
While thinking about it, Zhu Hejian paid more and more attention to Wang Baoren's future role.
Afterwards, Zhu Hejian quickly calmed down his thoughts and focused on reading the booklet in his hand.
The contents listed in this booklet are obviously the problems that Wang Baoren speculated Zhou Shangjing had prepared for Zhu Hejian.
As Wang Baoren said, these problems will not affect the court's plan to regain power, but once Zhu Hejian takes over these problems, he will inevitably be in a dilemma!
For example, since the six ministers of Nanjing were replaced by those incompetent and short-sighted people, the quota of Gongsheng students in Nanjing Gongyuan has been monopolized by the children of wealthy families in Jiangnan. Scholars from ordinary family backgrounds have been excluded and suppressed!
Under such circumstances, if Zhu Hejian needs to deal with this matter in the future, he will inevitably be in a dilemma. Should he seek justice for ordinary scholars and offend the more powerful Jiangnan wealthy families? Or should he favor those Jiangnan wealthy families and offend the larger number of ordinary scholars?
?
There are many similar examples in this booklet.
After seeing these examples, Zhu Hejian finally understood what kind of difficult choices he would face next, and his expression became more serious.
If Zhou Shangjing throws these problems to Zhu Hejian, it will still fall into the category of conspiracy. Zhu Hejian cannot avoid it at all, he can only grit his teeth and make a choice!
After seeing Zhu Hejian's solemn expression, Wang Baoren did not give specific suggestions this time, but just let Zhu Hejian make his own choice.
In fact, Wang Baoren also wanted to take the opportunity to test Zhu Hejian's true character.
Therefore, after Wang Baoren saw the change in Zhu Hejian's expression, he just said slowly: "As I said before, all these problems will ultimately depend on your own decision, His Highness the Seventh Prince. I will not make any suggestions this time.
At most, they will only help deal with the situation when it gets out of control!
However, if His Highness the Seventh Prince is responsible for so many things, it would probably be a bit inadequate. Moreover, I think His Highness the Seventh Prince does not have many reliable staff around him, so if His Highness the Seventh Prince wants to find some experienced staff to assist him,
If you make your own decisions, I can help you!"
Zhu Hejian's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "If this is the case, you have really helped this junior a lot, and I don't hide it from Grand Master Wang. I really lack reliable staff around me!"
Wang Baoren nodded again, then turned to look at the six Confucian scholars behind him. After a moment of hesitation, he called by name: "Lu De, Fu Pingsheng... In the next period of time, you two are willing to accompany His Highness the Seventh Prince.
To assist His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
After hearing Wang Baoren's roll call, Zhu Hejian was slightly stunned.
Because after he heard the name "Fu Pingsheng", he felt vaguely familiar.
