Chapter 204. Fuqi and closing on the Internet.

The next day, go to the morning.

Just like what happened a few days ago, Zhao Junchen's party still clings to Yan Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and fiercely mobilizes for impeachment; while Huang Yourong's party still fully protects Yan Pengfei and takes a firm stand.

Don't let it.

Therefore, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, headed by Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong, the dispute between the two parties was still as lively as ever.

As for this situation, after adapting to it these days, Emperor Deqing and all the officials in the court have become accustomed to it, and no one has any intention to stop it.

In this way, between the two factions attacking each other, by the time the morning court ended, it was already approaching noon.

…………

But after the next court, although Huang Yourong still had a smiling and harmless look on his face, his brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes kept flashing with inexplicable anger, which made the officials who followed him couldn't help it.

Secretly shocked.

It’s no wonder that Huang Yourong is so suppressed. In today’s morning court, although Huang Yourong’s faction once again withstood the attack and impeachment of Zhao Junchen’s faction, they were still on the defensive and were suppressed and beaten by Zhao Junchen. The face of Huang Yourong, the cabinet minister,

It has been completely lost.

More importantly, the partisan struggle between Huang Yourong and Zhao Junchen has been going on for four or five days now. However, in the face of the fierce momentum of Zhao Junchen's group and the continuous impeachments, Huang Yourong's party has not yet formed an effective counterattack.

Although the audit of the accounts department is still in progress, everyone knows that it is destined to end in vain. This is already a well-known thing, let’s not mention it for now.

In the past few days, Huang Yourong has sent people to search for evidence of the crimes of Zhao Junchen and his officials, and wanted to impeach Zhao Junchen and fight back in the court. However, Zhao Junchen's group had been prepared for this party dispute for a long time, and they had already planned for it.

They took the opportunity to wipe their butts clean!

Therefore, although Huang Yourong has indeed searched for a lot of evidence over the past few days, there are very few definite evidences that can prove these crimes.

As a result, even if Huang Yourong wanted to impeach Zhao Junchen and his officials in the early morning court, he would not be able to do so, let alone pose a real threat to Zhao Junchen.

In short, although this partisan battle has only lasted four or five days, Huang Yourong's faction has already completely lost the battle!

In this case, how could Huang Yourong not hold back his anger?

Now that he can barely maintain a smile on his face, it shows that Huang Yourong is quite capable.

…………

However, when he was about to walk out of the Meridian Gate, Huang Yourong thought about everything that had happened in the past few days, but finally could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He suddenly stopped in his steps, turned around and angrily rebuked the cronies behind him: "It's been four or five days.

!!You can't find any evidence of the crimes of Zhao Junchen and his cronies!! Let me be suppressed and beaten by a junior like Zhao Junchen these days!! I have lost all face in front of all the officials in the court!! You say,

I have tried so hard to promote you people over the years! What’s the use of it!?”

While scolding, Huang Yourong not only did not calm down his anger, but the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and his voice became louder: "Did you see the expression on Shen Changmao's face this morning? That old guy didn't take his eyes off him all morning.

The old man had a sinister smile on his face, and he was just looking at my joke! I have been fighting secretly with Shen Changmao for so many years, and how have I ever been laughed at by him like this!? That Zhao Junchen is just a jester in front of His Majesty, even this one

You can’t even deal with these guys! What future prospects can you have!?”

Hearing Huang Yourong's continuous and loud scoldings, and seeing Huang Yourong's face turned red and his chest rising and falling, they knew that Huang Yourong was angry, so all the officials did not dare to refute and just lowered their heads to listen to the instructions.

However, they had not left the palace at this time, and it was just after the morning dynasty. Officials from the central government kept passing by. Seeing that Huang Yourong was so rude, although the passing officials did not dare to stop and watch and point, they still

They all couldn't help but glance secretly.

Finally, the young master Zhang Cheng, relying on his seniority and high status, sighed and walked to Huang Yourong to dissuade him: "Old Huang Ge, we haven't left the palace yet. If you don't feel happy, I will reprimand you again at the worst.

Why make people laugh in public? Wouldn’t it make people look down upon even more? Although Zhao Junchen has the upper hand now, his foundation is shallow after all. As long as he continues to consume, he will be the one who cannot hold on in the end. Why should you be a temporary

How long is such a gaffe?”

Lin Wei, the Minister of Rites, also advised: "Yes, Mr. Pavilion, calm down your anger. After all, we have not suffered a loss today, so why are we so angry? In fact, my colleagues have tried their best, and they have been doing their best these days.

They are trying their best to find evidence of the crimes committed by Zhao Junchen and his party, but Zhao Junchen and his cronies are obviously well prepared and have hidden their weaknesses, making it difficult to find. And the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works are now

And they are run like an iron bucket by Zhao Junchen, a needle cannot be inserted and water cannot be poured out. It is really difficult to find the exact evidence of their crimes for impeachment."

Huang Yourong still wanted to give face to Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei, snorting coldly: "I have been an official for more than thirty years, but I have never been so humiliated. I was suppressed and beaten by a junior like Zhao Junchen! You guys

You asked me to suppress it, but I am afraid that I will be suffocated to death!!"

After saying that, Huang Yourong snorted again, then turned around and continued to walk quickly outside the Meridian Gate.

Even so, after Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei's persuasion, Huang Yourong finally stopped getting angry in front of all the officials.

Seeing Huang Yourong's statement like this, Huang Yourong's cronies couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and they all hurriedly followed.

Among them, Huo Zhengyuan, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, walked quickly to Huang Yourong and said softly: "Mr. Huang Ge, what Mr. Zhang just said is very reasonable to me. You have been running the government and the public for decades, and you are the most fundamental."

It is stable, even the chief assistant Zhou Shangjing cannot easily deal with you, let alone a mere Zhao Junchen? Although our situation is slightly unfavorable now, it is only because Zhao Junchen suddenly attacked and we were caught off guard. I think it is only temporary. "

After saying such insincere words, Huo Zhengyuan changed the topic and continued: "However, in order to reverse the situation as soon as possible, Mr. Ge, do you also need to make some changes in the methods you use to deal with Zhao Junchen?"

Huo Zhengyuan is the chief think tank of Huang Yourong's faction, and Huang Yourong has always valued his opinions. Hearing Huo Zhengyuan's words seemed to have some meaning, Huang Yourong was moved in his heart and asked, "What do you mean by these words?"

Huo Zhengyuan explained: "Mr. Ge, the dispute between Zhao Junchen and you now. In the final analysis, this man is still ambitious and wants to compete for power with you, Mr. Ge, relying on your majesty's protection. However, the situation in the temple

It has been stable for so long, and there is a tacit understanding in the distribution of the interests of various factions. Now Zhao Junchen is acting like this, which has caused a lot of variables in the situation in the temple. This is a situation that many people do not want to see. For example, Zhou Shoufu and

Mr. Shen Ge."

"You mean..." Huang Yourong muttered thoughtfully.

"Zhao Junchen is ambitious and greedy. He is not only a threat to you. He will also be a trouble to several other elders in the cabinet sooner or later. Take this time as an example. The relationship between him and you, elder Regardless of the success or failure of this dispute, I am afraid that I will not be satisfied, and I may argue with Mr. Shen Ge again. If Zhao Junchen, relying on His Majesty's protection, really defeated you and Mr. Shen Ge, his power and power , I'm afraid they can compete with Zhou Shoufu. Regarding this, I think both Mr. Shen Ge and Mr. Zhou Shou will understand clearly, and neither of them want to see such a situation happen. In this case, why don't you, Mr. Ge, join forces with Mr. Shen Ge? Together with Zhou Shoufu, we will deal with Zhao Junchen? If this is the case, how can Zhao Junchen still be our opponent?"

After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's suggestion, Huang Yourong fell silent.

From a certain perspective, what Huo Zhengyuan said does make sense.

Zhao Junchen is now making waves in the temple, which has caused countless variables to the originally stable temple situation. For Emperor Deqing and some careerists, they are naturally happy to see the results. But for Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao and others For those who have vested interests, they will feel conflicted.

From this aspect, the basis for cooperation between Huang Yourong, Shen Changmao, and Zhou Shangjing to deal with Zhao Junchen does exist.

However, after Huang Yourong thought calmly for a moment, he shook his head and said, "If it were normal, this would be possible, but under this situation, it is impossible."

Seeing Huo Zhengyuan's puzzled expression, Huang Yourong explained: "Now, I not only have conflicts with Zhao Junchen, but also with Shen Changmao, so it is absolutely impossible for me to join forces with Shen Changmao at this time. After all, although I was at a disadvantage in the dispute with Zhao Junchen, it was not a critical moment after all."

…………

Huo Zhengyuan was a smart man after all, and he understood what Huang Yourong meant as soon as he heard it.

Ever since Emperor Deqing decided to tour the south, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao began to fight openly and secretly over the job of staying in Beijing to assist the government. However, in such fights, Huang Yourong had the upper hand.

Seeing that Emperor Deqing was about to embark on a southern tour after the imperial examination, according to the current situation, the candidate who would stay in Beijing to assist the government would most likely be Huang Yourong.

As a result, Shen Changmao was naturally dissatisfied with Huang Yourong. Even though he understood the long-term threat posed by Zhao Junchen, Shen Changmao was probably more willing to see Zhao Junchen's long-term threat at this time. Huang Yourong was embarrassed and embarrassed.

And if Huang Yourong wanted to join forces with Shen Changmao to deal with Zhao Junchen, Shen Changmao's character would inevitably require Huang Yourong to make concessions on staying in Beijing to assist the government.

But Huang Yourong would never accept this kind of concession.

As a result, it would be impossible for Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao to join forces to deal with Zhao Junchen, at least in the short term.

…………

Thinking of this, Huo Zhengyuan sighed secretly and asked: "Old Huang Ge has far-reaching plans, and I admire him. However, since we can't cooperate with Mr. Shen Ge, what about Zhou Shoufu? If we can get help from Zhou Shoufu, Zhao Junchen can also It must be nothing to worry about.”

After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's questioning, Huang Yourong looked solemn. After a long silence, he finally said slowly: "Cooperating with Zhou Shangjing may not be a good thing. Although Zhou Shangjing's influence is great, if he is involved in this... During the conflict, Your Majesty is afraid that he will no longer be as impartial as he is today. I think you also know His Majesty's fear of Zhou Shangjing. If it is not a last resort, I am not willing to cooperate with Zhou Shangjing, otherwise it will increase the number of conflicts. Fewer variables.”

While talking, Huang Yourong glanced at Huo Zhengyuan, who was thoughtful beside him, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

Although this Huo Zhengyuan is very smart and has good methods in doing things, he just lacks a sense of the overall situation.

On the other side, Huo Zhengyuan heard Huang Yourong's explanation, and after thinking for a moment, he finally understood what Huang Yourong meant.

Although Zhao Junchen was a favorite of Emperor Deqing, in this party dispute, Emperor Deqing did not favor Zhao Junchen, but was impartial. After all, Emperor Deqing did not want to see Zhao Junchen at such a young age.

If you have too much power, it becomes increasingly difficult to control.

However, if Zhou Shangjing also participated in this party struggle and helped Huang Yourong suppress Zhao Junchen, then Emperor Deqing's fear of Zhou Shangjing and his favor towards Zhao Junchen would inevitably help Zhao Junchen.

As a result, although Huang Yourong received assistance from Zhou Shangjing, he aroused the hostility of Emperor Deqing. It is difficult to say whether it is good or bad, but the situation will definitely get out of control, and this is something Huang Yourong never wants to see.

…………

After thinking about the pros and cons, Huo Zhengyuan sighed and shook his head secretly. He thought to himself: "This Zhao Junchen is really lucky. He caught up with Mr. Huang Ge at the most appropriate time. If he had a different time, Mr. Huang Ge would have

He was able to join forces with Zhou Shoufu and Shen Ge without any scruples. Zhao Junchen, who fights for power and profit without knowing what the heavens and the earth are, I don’t even know how he died!"

While he was thinking this, another idea suddenly came to Huo Zhengyuan's heart.

If all this was planned by Zhao Junchen, so what?

If Zhao Junchen had long expected that Huang Yourong would not be able to join forces with Shen Changmao and Zhou Shangjing at this time, so he seized the opportunity to attack Huang Yourong unscrupulously, then was Zhao Junchen's foresight too terrifying?

Since Zhao Junchen has such far-reaching plans and dares to seize this opportunity to conflict with Huang Yourong, does it mean that Zhao Junchen is almost certain to defeat Huang Yourong and his party?

Thinking of this, Huo Zhengyuan suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

If this is really the case, then Zhao Junchen would be terrible.

So, Huo Zhengyuan comforted me and said: "It's impossible. Zhao Junchen is young and only relied on His Majesty's favor to achieve his current status. How could he have such a strategy and means? It must be just a coincidence.

That’s all. If Zhao Junchen really has such scheming and means, and combined with his current power and influence, we people will definitely lose."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Huo Zhengyuan was thinking secretly, Huang Yourong led a group of cronies out of the Meridian Gate and outside the palace.

When Huo Zhengyuan respectfully escorted Huang Yourong to the sedan, Huang Yourong suddenly seemed to have thought of something before getting on the sedan. He turned to Huo Zhengyuan and ordered: "You should not go to my house to discuss matters today! If I discuss it over there,

I will send someone to inform you of the result. The matter of buying Chen Dongxiang is our top priority now. You should hurry up and do it first. We don't have many ways to deal with Zhao Junchen. Will we be able to reverse the decline next?

It depends on whether you can successfully instigate Chen Dongxiang!"

In this regard, Huo Zhengyuan was full of confidence and assured Huang Yourong: "Please rest assured, Mr. Ge, I had a secret conversation with Chen Dongxiang yesterday and saw that Chen Dongxiang is already tempted, but the matter is so important that he can't make up his mind yet.

, but as long as he is shaken in his heart, it proves that his loyalty to Zhao Junchen is gradually losing, and we are not afraid that he will not join us. I will meet with him again today, and I think there will be a definite result within two days today and tomorrow.

"

After hearing Huo Zhengyuan's assurance, Huang Yourong finally showed a satisfied look, nodded to Huo Zhengyuan, then got into the sedan and returned home.

Afterwards, Huang Yourong's cronies also followed him in sedan chairs.

In the past few days, due to the party dispute with Zhao Junchen, Huang Yourong and his cronies in the DPRK and China would go to Huang Yourong's house to discuss countermeasures almost every day after going to court, but they could not even take care of the official affairs of the DPRK and China.

However, Huo Zhengyuan did not accompany the officials to the Huang Mansion because he had the task of instigating a rebellion against Chen Dongxiang.

However, when Huo Zhengyuan arrived at his sedan chair, he saw Huo Zhong, the chief attendant waiting beside the sedan chair. He quickly came to meet him and reported to Huo Zhengyuan softly: "Master, when you go to court, that Chen Dongxiang

Chen Shilang's long-term attendant once secretly gave me a secret letter, saying that he wanted me to pass it on to the master, and also asked him to read it. "

While talking, Huo Zhong took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Huo Zhengyuan.

Huo Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he opened the letter and looked at it carefully.

When he read the contents of the letter, Huo Zhengyuan suddenly felt a shock, and then his face showed a look of ecstasy!

It turned out that Chen Dongxiang's letter not only stated that he was willing to abandon Zhao Junchen and join Huang Yourong, but also listed many criminal evidence against Zhao Junchen's officials!

These criminal evidences are nothing short of the best evidence of surrender for Huang Yourong's party, which is in urgent need of counterattack.

After carefully reviewing the letter and seeing that there were no flaws, Huo Zhengyuan happily ordered to Huo Zhong: "Quick, let's go to Mr. Huangge's house! I have a big happy event to report to Mr. Huangge!"
