"Master, Zhan Shanchang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Tong Huan, the general envoy of the General Affairs Department, Wang Xin, the general secretary of the General Affairs Department, Situ Han, the right deputy inspector of the Imperial Procuratorate, Gu Quan, the imperial censor of the capital, and Lin Youlun, the young minister of Taichang Temple
Waiting for all the adults to come to pay homage to the master, they are now waiting for him in the main living room of the mansion."
As soon as Zhao Junchen entered the mansion, the manager of the mansion hurriedly reported to Zhao Junchen.
After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned.
With so many "Zhao Party" officials coming to see him, could it be that something big happened?
Thinking of the differences in identity and experience of these "Zhao Party" officials, Zhao Junchen's heart moved slightly and asked: "Did they come to the house together?"
The steward of the Zhao Mansion shook his head and replied: "To tell you what the master said, they came to the mansion in two groups. Lord Zhan Shanchang, Lord Tong Huantong, Lord Gu Quangu came first, but they didn't pass.
After a while, Lord Wang Xin, Lord Situ Han, Lord Situ and Lord Lin Youlun also came over."
After finishing speaking, the manager of the Zhao Mansion hesitated for a moment and then added: "However, I feel that after the two groups of people met, they did not seem to have a harmonious relationship. The conversation was full of sharp remarks, and there seemed to be some vagueness.
There seems to be some hostility to each other.”
"Oh? Are there some hostility to each other?" Zhao Junchen mused, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression, and whispered to himself: "It's no wonder that after the cabinet has a vacancy, it is the advantage, not only for the major factions in the DPRK
Everyone has their own ideas. Even if they belong to the same faction, people are still confused and fighting openly and secretly. Everyone has different ideas in their hearts and they have to strive for their own benefits. This is good, it is easy to check and balance."
After hearing the report from the Zhao Mansion manager, Zhao Junchen probably guessed the real reason why many "Zhao Party" officials came to see him.
It's nothing more than a cabinet vacancy.
After Huang Yourong took office, there was a vacancy in the cabinet. All the major factions in the DPRK were secretly well prepared, unified their internal opinions in advance, and recommended their own candidates. However, only the "Zhao Party" because Zhao Junchen had other plans.
There was no unified opinion in advance. As a result, everyone in the "Zhao Party" naturally had different ideas. In today's morning meeting, everyone in the "Zhao Party" also recommended the best candidates in their minds based on their respective positions.
.
Of course, the so-called "best candidate" is actually the candidate who is most beneficial to them.
The members of the "Zhao Party" are complex and have different origins. They seem to work together and are sincerely united, but in fact they can be subdivided into several small factions, and there are also some vague conflicts between them.
Among them, the most important faction is headed by Zuo Lanshan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and includes Zhan Shanchang, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, Gu Quan, the censor of Youqiandu, Tong Huan, the general envoy of the general affairs department, and others. These people were all members of Zhao Junchen and the cabinet cabinet at the time.
During the struggle between the old Wen Guanliang and the old Wen Guanliang, the former "Wen Party" officials who were bribed not only had the largest number of people and the most powerful positions, but also had followed Zhao Junchen for the longest time. Therefore, their voice and influence among the "Zhao Party"
They are also the most powerful, and even Zhao Junchen has to worry about their opinions many times.
Of course, in today's morning meeting, these people unanimously recommended Zuo Lanshan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to join the cabinet to assist the government.
In addition to these former "Wen Party" officials, the second largest faction within the "Zhao Party" is headed by Huo Zhengyuan, the new Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, a bachelor, and also includes General Affairs Secretary Wang Xin on the left and Deputy Inspector Yu on the right.
Shi Situhan, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Lin Youlun and others were all former "Yellow Party" officials recruited by Zhao Junchen after Huang Yourong's downfall. These people had just joined Zhao Junchen not long ago, and their numbers were not as large as the former's, and their authority was not as good.
The former is generally powerful, and its influence within the "Zhao Party" can only be ranked second.
However, precisely because these people had just taken refuge with Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen had not had time to divide them, and his control over them was not strong, so these people were more united than Zuo Lanshan and others.
In the morning meeting this morning, because of their similar backgrounds and positions, these people all supported the great scholar, Huo Zhengyuan, the new Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, to join the cabinet to assist the government!
As for the third largest faction within the "Zhao Party", it is represented by Liu Chang'an, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Qin Huaiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and others. They were all neutral factions in the imperial court and did not have any backers or parties. They just saw Zhao
As Junchen's power grew, he successively took refuge in Zhao Junchen. Although this group of people was large in number, they did not have a unified position, their official positions were not important, and their performance was not active on weekdays. In the "Zhao Party"
The internal voice is the least.
Interestingly, in today's morning court, most of these people recommended Zhao Junchen to the cabinet to assist the government, perhaps because they were unwilling to offend the first two factions, or perhaps because they wanted to please Zhao Junchen.
As a result, in today's morning meeting, the "Zhao Party" expressed completely different views. It actually recommended three people to the cabinet to assist the government at the same time, namely Zuo Lanshan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Huo Zhengyuan, a great scholar, and Zhao Junchen himself.
!
The cabinet seats were so important that the various factions within the "Zhao Party" were naturally unwilling to give in, and the conflicts between them gradually became clear.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that although the "Zhao Party" recommended three candidates in one breath, among which Zhao Junchen is still the unquestionable leader of the "Zhao Party", among these three people, there are still a few
Zhao Junchen has the lowest hope of joining the cabinet. After all, Zhao Junchen is too young, has too little qualifications, and has a mixed reputation. There is no possibility of joining the cabinet at all! In addition, those "Zhao Party" officials who support Zhao Junchen's joining the cabinet just want to
It's just flattering, and the position is not firm.
Therefore, the final candidate recommended by the "Zhao Party" will only choose between Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan.
In fact, Zhao Junchen had already made up his mind to let Zuo Lanshan join the cabinet, but because it involved many secret plans, Zhao Junchen did not make his ideas public. But this way, people will naturally be in confusion.
, Zhan Shanchang, Tong Huan, Gu Quan and others firmly believe that Zuo Lanshan is the natural candidate and deserves the full support of the "Zhao Party". Wang Xin, Lin Youlun, Situ Han and others believe that Huo Zhengyuan's qualifications and abilities are
In terms of intelligence and so on, Huo Zhengyuan is still superior to Zuo Lanshan, so Huo Zhengyuan is more qualified than Zuo Lanshan to get the full support of the "Zhao Party", but he still refuses to give in.
In this way, before Zhao Junchen made his position clear, the conflicts between them were naturally difficult to reconcile. In the end, no one could convince the other, but they all came to the Zhao Mansion to see Zhao Junchen and seek Zhao Junchen's support.
However, when they arrived at the Zhao Mansion, they found that the other party had the same idea. After meeting each other, the atmosphere naturally became discordant.
However, Zhao Junchen is also happy to see the outcome of this situation. Only when his subordinates have conflicts can the importance of Zhao Junchen's opinions be reflected. If all his subordinates are in the same position and advance and retreat in the same direction, then Zhao Junchen, the "Zhao Junchen"
Party leaders are no longer necessary.
While thinking about it, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly and sighed: "The external things have not been settled yet, and there is still a lawsuit internally. It is really troublesome. How can things in this world be so simple? They are all smart people.
, are not puppets on strings. Naturally, everyone has their own ideas and everyone has their own interests. They cannot simply obey me, but they also blame me for being mysterious and not expressing my position clearly."
After shaking his head and sighing, Zhao Junchen did not go to the living room of the Zhao Mansion to meet with the "Zhao Party" officials, but instead walked to his study in a detour.
For these people, Zhao Junchen planned to let them dry out first.
However, as he walked forward, Zhao Junchen ordered the steward of the Zhao Mansion beside him: "Send someone to invite Master Zuo and Academician Huo to the mansion. After the two adults arrive at the mansion, ask them to go directly to the study to meet with me.
When we meet, be careful not to let those in the living room find out."
"Yes, I'll do it now, little man."
After receiving the instructions, the Zhao Mansion manager quickly agreed and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements.
To be continued.,,Your support is my greatest motivation.
