After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan were both refreshed!
Indeed, seeing the major factions in the DPRK and China taking action one after another, if the "Zhao Party" continues to fail to take action, not only will it be controlled by others, but many people will also feel uneasy.
What's more, when there is a vacancy in the cabinet, it is the time when the storm is surging. If you just keep quiet and wait for the opportunity, you will inevitably feel regretful about missing out on the excitement.
Therefore, as Zhao Junchen finished speaking, Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan focused their attention on Zhao Junchen, waiting for Zhao Junchen to continue speaking.
Under the gazes of the two people, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "At present, the 'Shen Party' and the 'Prince Party' have begun to join forces secretly, and they seem to be planning something, but their goals and plans are not yet clear, so we I don't want to pay attention to them for the time being, and wait until the details are found out before reacting... In comparison, the 'Zhou Party' is currently planning to impeach the remaining cabinet candidates, and I am afraid that we will also be one of their targets. There is a conspiracy, but the threat is much greater, but we have to guard against it!"
After seeing Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan both nodding in agreement, Zhao Junchen asked: "So, do you two adults have a way to resolve the conspiracy of the 'Zhou Party'?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, both Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan were stunned.
Before that, when they saw Zhao Junchen taking the initiative to mention the matter, they thought that Zhao Junchen had already thought of a solution. However, they did not expect that Zhao Junchen asked them what they thought.
Zhao Junchen naturally noticed the doubts in the minds of Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan, so Zhao Junchen further explained: "I did think of a way to resolve the impeachment of the 'Zhou Party', but it was just a matter of course. Strategies need to pay some price, so before I propose my own method, I still want to listen to your suggestions. Maybe there may be a better way."
After receiving Zhao Junchen's explanation, Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan understood what Zhao Junchen meant, and they both nodded to express their understanding.
After all, the two of them are important ministers of the imperial court, and they are not unscrupulous people. Naturally, they have some concerns about the current situation in the temple. After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, they will not be at a loss to say anything.
Then, after some humility between the two, Zuo Lanshan spoke first: "Now, our power and influence in the temple is not weaker than that of the 'Zhou Party'. Since the 'Zhou Party' wants to impeach the rest of the cabinet, Candidates, we can't just surrender. We might as well use attack against attack and concentrate all our efforts to impeach the candidate supported by the 'Zhou Party', Grand Scholar Li He, so that Li He will also be stained with fishy smell. In this way, all cabinet candidates will Everyone is impeached, which is fair. Although our troubles have not been solved, at least we will not be at a disadvantage."
After hearing Zuo Lanshan's suggestion, Zhao Junchen frowned and considered it for a moment, then shook his head, seeming to disagree.
On the other side, Huo Zhengyuan did not agree with Zuo Lanshan's idea and said: "The method of attacking with attack seems good, but when implemented, I am afraid it will not be effective! In recent years, Bachelor Li Hexian returned to his hometown to observe filial piety. Ding You was in trouble for three years, and after returning to the court, he only served as a sinecure as a bachelor. He had no real power in his hands and did not need to deal with too many government affairs. Therefore, he did not have many things to grasp. I think it was precisely because of this that he came to the "Zhou Party" Once you understand this, you will be able to impeach others without fear of retaliation. This is because even if Grand Scholar Li He is impeached, it will not be much trouble and it can be easily clarified. But other candidates It won’t necessarily change after someone is impeached.”
In fact, Huo Zhengyuan still has something to say, that is, among the cabinet candidates, Zuo Lanshan has the most flaws. After being impeached, Zuo Lanshan will be the most troublesome, while the situation of the bachelor Li He is even worse. It is completely the opposite. The "attack against attack" strategy proposed by Zuo Lanshan is actually using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. In addition to intensifying conflicts, it is also asking for trouble. It cannot be said that it is extremely stupid. Too much.
However, Huo Zhengyuan and Zuo Lanshan are now in the same camp, and they also have to worry about Zuo Lanshan's face, so Huo Zhengyuan did not say these words clearly.
But Zuo Lanshan still understood the implication of Huo Zhengyuan's words. A hint of shame and anger flashed in his eyes, but he asked: "So, Master Zuo, do you have any good ideas?"
Huo Zhengyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't have any good ideas. The plan of the 'Zhou Party' is a conspiracy, and it is the most difficult to deal with. Although under the impeachment offensive of the 'Zhou Party', the 'Shen Party' will also encounter difficulties." When we encounter trouble, we have the same position as the 'Shen Party'. Temporarily joining forces is also a feasible solution. But now, the 'Shen Party' and the 'Prince. Party' have secretly joined forces, and their intentions are unknown. Let's go with the 'Shen Party' again. If we cooperate, we may be exploited by others... In addition, after cooperating with the 'Shen Party', our true plan will be easily exposed, so this idea does more harm than good and has many risks, so I quickly abandoned it Already."
After hearing what Huo Zhengyuan said, Zuo Lanshan's expression was a little complicated, but he remained silent.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen sighed, looking a little helpless, and said: "In this case, it seems that I can only adopt my last resort."
Huo Zhengyuan asked: "I wonder what exactly the 'strategy for the next' you are talking about, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Junchen said concisely and horrified: "Fish in troubled waters, add fuel and firewood, completely disrupt the current temple situation, and then ask your Majesty to come out and clean up the mess!"
Then, Zhao Junchen saw that the two of them didn't quite understand what he meant, so he further explained: "My plan is somewhat similar to Mr. Zuo's. It is also to use attack against attack and use our influence to impeach others, but it does not It is not limited to the bachelor Li He, nor is it limited to the cabinet candidates. Among the civil and military officials, no matter who has the handle, we must hold on tightly and pursue them fiercely, even the chief minister Shen Chang. Mao, Ge Lao Zhou Shangjing, we will never let go, and eventually provoke their counterattack, causing the major factions in the DPRK to confront each other, causing every official to be impeached, and every official to impeach others. At that time , the situation in the temple will definitely be chaotic, and His Majesty has always been too stable in terms of personality. After seeing such a situation..."
Hearing Zhao Junchen's description, Huo Zhengyuan's eyes lit up and he said: "When the time comes, His Majesty will definitely take action to stabilize the situation, issue an imperial edict, implement the anti-sitting law, punish false accusers, and limit the mutual impeachment of ministers in the DPRK and China. In this situation, even the 'Zhou Party' would not dare to impeach others easily, and their conspiracy will naturally be solved!"
On the other side, Zuo Lanshan nodded again and again and said: "Brilliant plan! It's really a brilliant plan! With such a clever plan, we don't have to worry about the impeachment of the 'Zhou Party'! But, Mr. Zhao, why do you say this method is a trick?" Of the policy?"
Zhao Junchen sighed and explained: "After I encountered trouble, I created even bigger troubles and left all the troubles to His Majesty. Even if His Majesty suffers from this dumb loss, how will he treat us? What if?
What is the risk of His Majesty retaliating against us afterwards? What price do we have to pay to appease His Majesty's dissatisfaction? Therefore, although this method can solve the problem, it requires paying a high price, so naturally it is the next step.
It’s planned.”
Everyone has their own thinking inertia. For example, Emperor Deqing's thinking inertia was "Look to Zhao Junchen if there is a scapegoat", while Zhao Junchen's thinking inertia was "Look to Emperor Deqing if there is trouble."
After encountering trouble, he created even bigger troubles and threw all the troubles to Emperor Deqing, using Emperor Deqing's character of seeking stability to solve the trouble... Zhao Junchen has used similar methods more than once.
A fixed routine has been formed.
However, Zhao Junchen did not want to use this method repeatedly unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, Emperor Deqing would never want to be taken advantage of, and Zhao Junchen could not afford Emperor Deqing's wrath.
"It is true that there are some risks, and it does require paying a lot of price..." After hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, Huo Zhengyuan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "But now there is no better choice."
Zhao Junchen sighed again and said: "Yes, recommending Mr. Zuo to join the cabinet to assist the government is the most important thing for us now. It is related to our future development, so we must not let the 'Zhou Party' play... So
, there really is no better choice!”
Having said this, Zhao Junchen put aside the hesitation in his heart, his expression gradually became firm, and he said coldly: "Since there is no better choice, then we don't need to hesitate, we can only do this! ... Continue the order
, let all colleagues prepare their own preparations. As soon as the 'Zhou Party' starts to impeach Lord Zuo, we will take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the opportunity to fight! The situation in the temple will be turned upside down!"
Seeing that Zhao Junchen finally made up his mind, and his attitude was so firm and decisive, without any hesitation at all, both Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan showed admiration!
Many smart people can clearly analyze the relationship between pros and cons, but when it comes to choosing between pros and cons, there are only a few people who dare to face the risks and take advantage of the fire!
Therefore, with this decisiveness alone, Zhao Junchen will surpass most smart people in the world!
Especially for Zuo Lanshan, seeing Zhao Junchen taking such a big risk and price just to ensure that he can compete for a cabinet seat is undoubtedly a huge favor, so Zuo Lanshan was filled with admiration.
Feeling of gratitude.
Then, Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan stood up together and replied to Zhao Junchen: "I follow Master Zhao's instructions! I will make arrangements right away, and I will never let Master Zhao down!"
