Hearing the concerns of Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing, Zhao Junchen disagreed and shook his head: "Your concerns are indeed reasonable, but they are in the wrong direction."
"Please give me some advice." Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing looked at each other and said in unison to Zhao Junchen.
"Let's talk about the issue of controlling Zhang Zhaodi first... Of course, the blood relationship between Zhang Zhaodi and me is indeed estranged, but even if the relationship between the two parties is close, they may not be very reliable when making decisions about interests in the future. Even if they are brothers or
Husbands and wives, aren’t there too many examples of betrayal to each other in history? You must remember that the premise of loyalty is the combination of interests, a means of balancing kindness and power, not the distance of the relationship. After the Zhao family women entered the palace,
Although they will be my natural allies, this does not mean that they will be loyal to me. Whether it is Zhang Zhaodi or Zhao Yinger, they will have their own little thoughts, and what we have to do is not to let their little thoughts.
Small actions affect our plans."
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "I sent the Zhao family girls to the palace just to get a name and excuse at some point in the future, but not because the Zhao family girls will be more beautiful than other girls.
It’s easy to control. In fact, no matter who is responsible for such an important task, we all need a means of control. As for Zhang Zhaodi’s control, well, doesn’t she have a younger brother? The two siblings have been dependent on each other for many years.
The relationship is very deep. In this case, we can start with her brother. Wenxuan, I will leave this matter to you. As for the rest, I will find another way."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Xiao Wenxuan pondered for a moment and replied: "Speaking of which, after Zhao Deshun becomes the head of the Zhao family, he will definitely rectify the Zhao family school in the future. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can take Zhang Zhaodi's younger brother.
The Zhao family is in control. In name, it means teaching her brother how to read and write. This will not only make her grateful, but also make her scrupulous. Do you think this is good, sir?"
After Zhao Junchen nodded in agreement, he shook his head and continued: "Actually, in my opinion, although Zhang Zhaodi's temperament is rebellious, soft yet strong, he is relatively easy to control. Such a person is relatively easy to control.
As long as her bottom line is not violated, she will not resist anything. Compared to Zhang Zhaodi, I am more worried that Zhao Yinger will do some smart things after entering the palace... Of course, I will naturally take precautions against these things in the future, and
It’s not something we need to worry about now.”
Su Xiqing said: "Since you are confident that you can control Zhang Zhaodi, Mr. Xiao and I will not worry about anything anymore. However, the relationship between Zhang Zhaodi and Zhao Ying'er is indeed a hidden danger. After the two of them enter the palace, they may
There will be conflicts. And the name Zhang Zhaodi is really a bit indecent..."
Zhao Junchen still looked unconcerned and said with a smile: "Yes, Zhao Ying'er doesn't like Zhang Zhaodi, and even often bullies Zhang Zhaodi. After the two of them enter the palace together, there will inevitably be conflicts, but this is not necessarily the case.
This is not a good thing... You think about it, Zhao Ying'er is my tribe after all, and your majesty will definitely be wary of her after entering the palace. If your majesty discovers that Zhao Ying'er often bullies Zhang Zhaodi at this time, then your majesty will not only pity Zhang Zhaodi.
, we will no longer be wary of Zhang Zhaodi’s existence. This situation is only good for our plan, but not harmful."
As he spoke, a fierce look flashed across Zhao Junchen's eyes, but neither Su Xiqing nor Xiao Wenxuan noticed it.
According to Zhao Junchen's plan, after Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Zhaodi entered the palace, Zhao Ying'er was just a front, and the person who was really close to Emperor Deqing was Zhang Zhaodi. If Zhao Junchen's plan goes well. Although Zhang Zhaodi is acting as a maid,
Although she entered the palace with a certain status, her future favor will be far higher than that of Zhao Ying'er.
However, Zhao Ying'er and Zhang Zhaodi had conflicts in the first place. When the time came to see Emperor Deqing doting on Zhang Zhaodi more and more, but becoming more and more indifferent to him, would he do anything irrational when he was jealous?
Things that no one can control.
This situation is the real hidden danger of Zhao Junchen's plan.
Zhao Junchen was naturally aware of this. In fact, when Zhao Ying'er was selected to enter the palace, Zhao Junchen was also prepared to abandon Zhao Ying'er. If Zhao Ying'er still knew how to be patient and consider the overall situation, then everything would be easy to say.
If Zhao Ying'er gets carried away and does something detrimental to the overall situation, then Zhao Junchen will have no choice but to sacrifice her.
Of course, this kind of consideration of tearing down mills and killing donkeys and crossing rivers and burning bridges is not suitable to explain to Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan. In fact, Su and Xiao did not consider this at all, so Zhao Junchen felt relieved but also slightly disappointed.
Obviously, Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan are not thoughtful talents, at least not yet.
All kinds of thoughts just flashed through Zhao Junchen's mind. Then Zhao Junchen's expression returned to normal, and he continued to explain with a smile: "As for Zhang Zhaodi's name, it is admittedly a bit simple, but such a simple name is actually
It will make people feel at ease. Your Majesty may like this name. If your Majesty does not like this name, then your Majesty will naturally change her name himself. In this way, your Majesty will have a greater sense of accomplishment. We don’t need to do it for you...
"
…
After dispelling the concerns of Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing, the sky outside the window was gradually getting dark.
Before I knew it, a day had passed.
After the conversation between Zhao Junchen, Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing ended, Zhao Deshun, the new patriarch of the Zhao family, came to see him and invited Zhao Junchen to have dinner with the elders of the Zhao family.
Zhao Junchen naturally would not refuse this.
During dinner, Zhao Junchen took the opportunity to announce to Zhao Deshun and the elders of the Zhao family the list of Zhao family children who entered the Imperial Academy, and his decision to recommend Zhao Ying'er to enter the palace and become a concubine in the harem.
Regarding Zhao Junchen's decision, neither Zhao Deshun nor the elders of the Zhao family dared to raise objections and repeatedly expressed their agreement.
Of course, Zhao Junchen did not explain to them that Zhang Zhaodi would enter the palace as an accompanying maid. Zhao Junchen did not want too many people to notice this matter, and the more secretive the better.
In fact, at this time, even Zhang Zhaodi himself did not know Zhao Junchen's decision.
After changing the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Junchen's prestige in the Zhao family has been completely established. Regarding Zhao Junchen's decision, Zhao Deshun and the elders of the Zhao family all agreed, and neither dared to delve into it nor ask questions, so
Zhao Junchen didn't need to explain anything to them in detail.
For Zhao Deshun and the elders of the Zhao family, now that the list of Imperial College candidates and the candidates for the palace have been determined, the most important thing now is Zhao Junchen's ancestor recognition ceremony.
This matter concerns the face and reputation of the Zhao family, but it cannot be taken lightly.
