Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan still have some abilities. After they met their respective supporters in the living room of Zhao Mansion, they immediately stopped the conflict between the two parties and repeatedly emphasized Zhao Junchen's sole leadership position in the "Zhao Party" and expressed Zhao Junchen's
The matter of candidates to join the cabinet has long been decided. Everyone in the "Zhao Party" just needs to follow Zhao Junchen's instructions. Then he reiterated the difficulty of the current situation and the importance of unity within the "Zhao Party"...
Some of the arguments in officialdom can be described as boring and the same, and they will not change much even after thousands of years.
These arguments seem to have no meaning and are just false and empty clichés. However, these false and empty clichés often represent changes in the political direction. In fact, the most important thing is to find truly useful information among these false and empty clichés.
A qualified official must have the most basic political qualities. Otherwise, he will stand on the wrong team and choose the wrong position, which will naturally lead to a disastrous outcome.
The members of the "Zhao Party" may have low moral character and poor abilities, but their political sensitivity is undoubtedly qualified.
Therefore, after hearing the speeches of Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan, they immediately understood the deep meaning and found several key points in these speeches.
First of all, Zhao Junchen was not satisfied with their behavior of coming to the Zhao Mansion to force Zhao Junchen to express his position. He was even a little angry. He thought that they had disrupted his plan, so he imposed great pressure on Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan.
pressure, and Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan obviously succumbed to the pressure;
Secondly, regarding the cabinet candidates recommended by the "Zhao Party", Zhao Junchen does not intend to discuss with everyone in the "Zhao Party", but wants to act arbitrarily and make his own decisions. As for the "Zhao Party", everyone only needs to express their support when the time comes.
That's fine, and Huo Zhengyuan and Zuo Lanshan, as the second and third figures in the "Zhao Party", have no objection to Zhao Junchen's approach;
Finally, although Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan are important figures within the "Zhao Party" and their power and influence cannot be underestimated, they do not dare to challenge Zhao Junchen's authority, Zhao Junchen's prestige, strength, and their influence on "Zhao Party".
The control power of "Zhao Party" is much higher than everyone expected, so their behavior of forcing Zhao Junchen to express his position this time undoubtedly stirred up a hornet's nest.
After understanding the profound meaning of Huo Zhengyuan and Zuo Lanshan's words, whether it was Zuo Lanshan's supporters Gu Quan, Zhan Shanchang, Tong Huan and others, or Huo Zhengyuan's supporters Situ Han, Wang Bin, Lin Youlun and others, they immediately
I understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly calmed down.
Gu Quan, Zhan Shanchang, Tong Huan and others finally recalled how terrible Zhao Junchen's scheming and methods were, and he also controlled a large number of handles and interests in their hands. It can be said that their future honor and disgrace have all depended on them.
In Zhao Junchen's case, if he offended Zhao Junchen, the consequences would be disastrous! Or, to be more precise, they had no qualifications to force Zhao Junchen at all! Under such circumstances, they still wanted to force Zhao Junchen to support them,
It’s so ridiculous!
As for Situ Han, Wang Xin, Lin Youlun and others, they are also aware of the reality of relying on others. They were originally defeated generals under Zhao Junchen, and now they have just joined Zhao Junchen's sect. They should keep a low profile and be more humble in order to win
Zhao Junchen's trust is the top priority. If they in turn force Zhao Junchen to retreat, how will Zhao Junchen treat them in the future?
After understanding these realities, these people broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, they should have realized these things a long time ago. Under normal circumstances, they would never do such stupid things in a hot head. It's just that the benefits of joining the cabinet were too tempting, which made them go to their heads, and Zhao
Junchen's performance was too low-key and mysterious, which also caused them to overlook certain factors that should never be ignored...
Later, they regretted their reckless behavior this time.
There is no "regret medicine" for sale in the world, but after all, there is still the principle of "making amends after a lost cause" and "apologizing for guilt".
So, feeling regretful, they all expressed their hope to see Zhao Junchen to beg for Zhao Junchen's understanding and forgiveness.
It's a pity that Zhao Junchen doesn't intend to express his understanding to them easily. He will at least leave them alone for a while to let them remember this lesson more deeply and take the opportunity to consolidate his prestige.
Therefore, when faced with requests from Zhan Shanchang, Wang Xin and others, Zhao Junchen once again refused on the grounds that he was unwell.
Finally, with uneasy feelings, Zhan Shanchang, Tong Huan, Gu Quan, Wang Xin, Situ Han, Lin Youlun and others finally left the Zhao Mansion, but they were destined to have trouble sleeping tonight in worry.
After everyone in the "Zhao Party" left the Zhao Mansion, Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan came to the study to meet Zhao Junchen again.
When the two of them entered the study, Zhao Junchen was sitting on the back of the chair, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing Zhao Junchen's behavior, Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan did not dare to disturb him. They stood quietly in front of Zhao Junchen, holding their breath with their hands down, waiting for Zhao Junchen to speak.
In fact, the official positions, qualifications, reputation, etc. of the two of them on the surface are not lower than that of Zhao Junchen, and there is no need to be so respectful. However, they do not feel anything wrong with their humble performance - after this incident, they also
He became clearer about his position within the "Zhao Party".
After about a cup of tea, Zhao Junchen finally came back to his senses. After looking up and seeing the performance of Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he kept saying: "I was thinking about something just now, and I couldn't help but
I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice the two adults. I'm really rude. Please sit down and talk... Well, the two adults have finished their business? Have all the guests left?"
Under Zhao Junchen's signal, after Zuo Lanshan took his seat, he said cautiously: "Master Zhao, Master Zhan and Master Situ have all left. Under the emphasis of me and Master Huo, they have been eliminated."
There are estrangements and conflicts, and we will definitely unite as one in the future. As long as Mr. Zhao follows the lead, today's situation will never happen again!"
Huo Zhengyuan tentatively said: "Sir Zhao, my colleagues do not mean to offend you. In fact, the current situation in the temple is complicated, and the matter of candidates for the cabinet is indeed important. However, my lord, you have not explained your thoughts for a long time. Let them
Just a little anxious..."
After hearing the statements of Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan, Zhao Junchen raised his hand and waved lightly, saying: "Don't worry, you two, I didn't blame my colleagues, and I also know that my colleagues did not deliberately force me to submit.
This matter is actually my fault for being a little bit mysterious. The people above did not express their position clearly, and the people below are naturally confused. This is a matter of course..."
When speaking, Zhao Junchen's expression was serious, and he indeed expressed his true thoughts: "This incident also reminded me that in the past, we had little power, few close colleagues, and it was easy to control people's hearts. Even if many plans were
It's a bit more secret, without letting others know too much about the situation, and it can still be implemented. However, as our power and influence increase, and we have more and more close colleagues, it becomes more and more difficult to control people's hearts. Many plans
If you continue to make a secret and let only a few people know about it, no matter how sophisticated and clever the plan is, many unexpected situations will inevitably occur, and people may take advantage of it, which will turn out to be bad... Because of this, since ancient times,
Conspiracies and conspiracies that only a few people are responsible for implementing have never been able to reach the level of elegance. Only upright conspiracy is the right path. In the past, we always had more conspiracies and less conspiracy, but this situation should change from now on.
Changed!"
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "In addition, there are many close colleagues, and we can't just take into account our own ideas. Although other people's official positions and powers are not as important as ours, their ideas cannot be ignored. After all, we
Being able to become the leader of everyone is also because we can seek benefits for everyone. If we don't pay attention to their ideas and intentions, how can they continue to follow us? Although I used the authority of the two of them to properly handle the internal conflicts today, I still suppressed them blindly.
In the end, whether it is a long-term solution or not, always excluding the following people from the plan will also dampen their enthusiasm, so we should also pay attention to this."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's emotion, Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan looked at each other and both said to Zhao Junchen: "Master Zhao, I admire you!"
At the same time, because of Zhao Junchen's words, they became more convinced of Zhao Junchen's broadmindedness, and some of the cracks that had appeared before had disappeared.
After hearing the praise from Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan, Zhao Junchen smiled again and said: "However, I was not thinking about these things just now, but about the current situation in the temple... I think it's time for us to take action.
