Seeing Zhao Junchen looking over him, Zeng Wei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The student thinks that after I become an official, I should learn from Qingliu's practice."
Clear stream?
After hearing Zeng Wei's words, every new scholar, including Liu Zimin, was shocked.
Didn't Zeng Wei know that all the noble people in the court regarded Zhao Junchen as their mortal enemy?
Over the years, the Qingliu people have caused countless troubles to Zhao Junchen in the temple. Impeaching Zhao Junchen for corruption, accepting bribes, forming cliques for personal gains and other crimes has become a daily homework for the Qingliu people. However, Zhao Junchen despises the Qingliu people the most for their high ambitions and low abilities.
, and also took action to suppress it more than once, and it can be said that the two sides have reached a fight to the death.
At this time, if you say you want to learn Qingliu, aren't you afraid of making Zhao Junchen angry? Aren't you making yourself unhappy?
What's more, what's the good thing about Qingliu? He has no power, no power, no wealth, and is not even welcomed by the emperor. He only has a mouth and a little reputation. How can he be as powerful in the officialdom as Zhao Junchen?
Calling for wind and rain, spending a lot of money on daily life!
Just when the new scholars were half gloating and half surprised, Zhao Junchen's expression did not change. Instead, he asked with interest: "Oh? Are you studying Qingliu? It's interesting. Please tell me more details."
Zeng Wei said: "Students also agree with Mr. Liu's point of view. Nowadays, people in the world have many misunderstandings about you, Mr. Zhao. We are deeply favored by Mr. Zhao, and we should help Mr. Zhao solve his problems. However, we have just entered the officialdom, no matter the reputation or power.
They all have low positions, but they are powerless. Therefore, the students think that although Mr. Liu’s idea is good, he still needs an effective method. And this method is to learn Qingliu!
Forgive the students for saying something that goes beyond their status. The current Crown Prince has been tied to the court for these years. Although he has a noble status, he has done nothing. In recent days, he has finally done something, but whether it is preparations for the southern tour or
The southern tour was preparing for fraud cases, but all of them were mishandled. However, under such circumstances, His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation is unparalleled. Before he succeeded to the throne, he was already regarded by many as the master of the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty.
, Why does Master Zhao think this is? Isn’t it because of the repeated flattery of the Qingliu people? But in fact, only the flattery of the Qingliu people has an effect, because the Qingliu people have a clear reputation and credibility, and the government and the public also believe in them! If it were replaced by Qingliu people,
If others praise me, it will be useless."
While speaking, Zeng Wei raised his head and glanced at Zhao Junchen, only to see Zhao Junchen nodding his head in approval. His confidence was also boosted.
As mentioned above, it is a well-known fact that Zhao Junchen and Qingliu are not on good terms, so these views mentioned by Zeng Wei do bear some risks. After all, it is the first time for Zeng Wei to meet Zhao Junchen and he does not understand
Zhao Junchen has a good character. Seeing that Zhao Junchen is not disgusted at this time, he naturally feels a lot more relaxed.
Then, as Zeng Wei's confidence increased, his words became more convincing. He continued: "However, how can the Qingliu people have such a clear name and credibility? From the students' point of view, there are no more than two points. One is to lead by example.
, compared with most officials in the DPRK, the style of the Qingliu officials is indeed more honest, but the second point is more important, that is, they flatter and build momentum among each other, so that the reputation of one person is the reputation of the whole group, and the reputation of the Qingliu is increased repeatedly.
Up, under the influence of others, the Qingliu people have become the Qingliu they are now!
Of course, it is not advisable to blindly study Qingliu. Although Qingliu people always have the attitude of pointing the world, they seldom practice and do hard work. After all, they are a bit high-minded and short-sighted. Therefore, in addition to learning Qingliu, we must also be like Master Zhao.
, do more practical things for the court and the people, and build reputation and credibility in this way, and get twice the result with half the effort!
After doing this, once we have gained the credibility and reputation to win people's trust, we can then help Mr. Zhao solve his problems and create momentum, which will be a foolproof strategy."
After Zeng Wei finished speaking, he raised his head and stared at Zhao Junchen, waiting for Zhao Junchen's evaluation.
However, Zhao Junchen was still noncommittal. Instead, he looked at the other new scholars, and saw that except for a few of them, most of them were silent. Although they did not express their objections, they were all unsympathetic.
An unwilling look.
These new scholars who are willing to take refuge in Zhao Junchen are naturally not people of high moral character. The reason why they study and serve as officials is naturally not for the welfare of the people. Compared with those upright and upright officials, Zhao Junchen is their real
Their life goals, and precisely because of this, they took refuge in Zhao Junchen early.
Now, Zeng Wei actually asked them to learn from the Qingliu people, how could they be willing?
Therefore, they naturally fell silent. Although they did not express any clear objection due to Zeng Wei's face, they did not agree either.
However, such silence is already the biggest objection.
…
In fact, Zhao Junchen fully agreed with Zeng Wei's remarks.
Nowadays, Zhao Junchen is one of the powerful officials in the court. In addition to the support of Emperor Deqing and his own hard work, it is also because he has gathered a group of corrupt officials around him, and these corrupt officials also fully support Zhao Junchen.
, which created Zhao Junchen’s current momentum in the court.
However, the corrupt officials under Zhao Junchen, such as Zuo Lanshan, Minister of Industry, Zhan Shanchang, Minister of Household Affairs, and others, although they are not lacking in ability and have helped Zhao Junchen a lot in terms of power, they have failed in other aspects.
It has become a strong force that cannot be lost. Not only is it not helpful to Zhao Junchen, but it is always holding him back!
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Zhao Junchen has been trying every means to improve his reputation these days, but his subordinates are all corrupt officials, and these people rely on Zhao Junchen to do whatever they want. In this way, Zhao Junchen wants to improve his reputation.
Your own reputation is naturally worth half the effort. Even if you occasionally achieve results, you will soon be completely ruined by these corrupt officials!
In addition, Zhao Junchen consumed countless gold and silver to satisfy the greed of these corrupt officials. The various hidden dangers caused to Zhao Junchen by the various crimes of these corrupt officials gave Zhao Junchen constant headaches.
It's a pity that these corrupt officials have been up and down in the officialdom for many years, and their character has long been fixed. Zhao Junchen is powerless if he wants to change it.
In this way, Zhao Junchen naturally placed his hopes on these new science scholars. He hoped that the style of these new blood of the Zhao Party could be more clean and honest, and gradually replace the old blood of the Zhao Party. Under such metabolism, the Zhao Party could also
Gradually transform from a purely corrupt official group to a real court faction.
…
Therefore, Zeng Wei's remarks are very consistent with Zhao Junchen's true intentions.
However, seeing that the new scholars did not quite agree with this, and even felt a little repulsive, Zhao Junchen sighed secretly, but could not directly agree with Zeng Wei's remarks, and asked these new scholars to forcibly follow Zeng Wei's words.
Do things the right way, otherwise it will only make them feel rebellious.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen just nodded and said: "Master Zeng's remarks are quite advisable. Nowadays, the court is in a turbulent time, so we need to be more cautious in our actions in the future. Don't be too cautious.
If you don't go out of line, otherwise I won't be able to cover it up for you in the court. As for what is going out of line and what is not going out of line, it's up to you... The salary in my court is not high. If you just stick to a salary
, then don’t say it’s a welcome from the officialdom. I’m afraid you can’t even support the people in your own house, but everything has a degree. People who are officials must have the deeds of being an official, and you must be aware of these things.
...Of course. If you can, like Mr. Zeng said, have a reputation and credibility that is not inferior to Qingliu, I will not mention what benefits it will bring to me, but I will have sufficient reasons when I promote you in the future.
In addition, there are some other benefits, but I don’t understand them one by one now.”
Zhao Junchen's words are just a hint. Although there are some vague hints, they are not forced. How much these new scholars in front of them can understand depends on themselves!
Although these new scholars have bad conduct and some shallow ambitions, they are not like Zuo Lanshan, Zhan Shanchang and others, whose greed has penetrated deep into their bones and can no longer be reversed. Although they cannot be said to be a blank sheet of paper, they are
After all, it has not been contaminated yet.
Therefore, with Zeng Wei's words, Zhao Junchen's hints, and Zhao Junchen's deliberate guidance in the future - to increase efforts in cultivating those who have a slightly honest style, and even give various rewards,
If those who do not know how to restrain themselves are suppressed, or even give up on purpose, most of these new scholars will follow the path pointed out to them by Zhao Junchen.
As the saying goes, "What is good at the top will be worse at the bottom." Now Zhao Junchen is the "superior" of these new science scholars. As long as Zhao Junchen shows some bias, then these new science scholars, whether it is true or false,
They are bound to change, even if they will still take bribes, at least they will know how to restrain themselves and show off their appearance.
For Zhao Junchen, this change is enough.
This group of new scholars are like "horse bones" to Zhao Junchen. As long as their style can be a little more honest and create a good reputation for Zhao Junchen, coupled with Zhao Junchen's own business efforts, then in the future
Naturally, there will be scholars with higher moral standards who are willing to take refuge in Zhao Junchen. This is a virtuous cycle process that may take a long time, but Zhao Junchen is not impatient for this.
However, before that, Zhao Junchen still needs to reduce the contact between these new scholars and other Zhao Party officials, so that they will not be easily led astray by other Zhao Party officials, and also to avoid Zhao Junchen's hard work being in vain.
.
So, after Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he added: "Now that the palace examination is over, according to His Majesty's will, you each have different official positions. Here, I make you a promise. In the future, when you are an official, no matter what happens,
If you have any difficulties, you can contact me directly, and I will try my best to solve it for you. Now in the court, there are many officials who are good friends with me, such as Mr. Zuo Lanshan, Minister of Industry, and Zhan Shanchang, Minister of Household Affairs.
Lord Zhan, Lord General Si Tong Hengtong, etc., but your current official rank is far away from them, and you are not familiar with them yet, and they each have something to do, so you don't need to disturb them, if necessary
Wherever they help, I will naturally make arrangements."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, all the new scholars were overjoyed. With Zhao Junchen's assurance, the rugged and dangerous road in officialdom had become a smooth road for them, so no one had any intention of thinking about it for a moment.
The profound meaning behind Zhao Junchen's decision was that he quickly thanked Zhao Junchen!
In fact, among the new scholars, only Zeng Wei could understand Zhao Junchen's profound meaning.
By doing this, Zhao Junchen obviously wants to split the Zhao Party into two parts, one is the "Old Zhao Party" and the other is the "New Zhao Party". Under Zhao Junchen's deliberate guidance, the "New Zhao Party" will have a relatively clean style.
, and after the "New Zhao Party" gradually grows, Zhao Junchen will gradually replace the "Old Zhao Party" with the "New Zhao Party", making the "New Zhao Party" the real main force of the Zhao Party.
After understanding this, Zeng Wei's eyes flashed with joy, and he felt that his choice to seek refuge with Zhao Junchen was indeed correct. Zhao Junchen had great ambitions, and was not like other corrupt officials who only knew how to take bribes and do nothing!
Therefore, at this time, Zeng Wei also followed the example of other new scholars in saluting and thanking Zhao Junchen, but there was a hint of admiration in his expression.
…
On this day, the princelings showed a tendency to split. As the princelings' mortal enemy in the court, Zhao Dang also showed a trend of splitting.
However, although the two are also divided, the former is out of control due to differences in interests, while the latter is deliberately done to improve the nature, but the profound meaning contained in it is completely different!
