If there is no special reason, such as irritating the opponent, Zhao Junchen will not deliberately humiliate the opponent or damage the opponent's face and dignity. In Zhao Junchen's view, this method is often harmful to others and does not benefit himself.
actual meaning.
Therefore, even if he encounters a political opponent who is equally powerful, Zhao Junchen will ensure the most basic etiquette. This is not to say that Zhao Junchen is a gentleman who respects the other party, but that Zhao Junchen has always only cared about actual interests and never
You don't get pleasure from humiliating others.
In addition, respecting the other party to a certain extent and allowing the other party to save some face is just a casual thing for you and does not require much effort, but it is often of great significance to others and can sometimes produce unexpected effects.
Such as now.
After seeing Zhao Junchen's humble attitude, Huang Yourong felt a little complicated, and even felt a little touched.
To this day, Huang Yourong can be said to be a phoenix, not as good as a chicken. How many people are willing to maintain a humble attitude towards him? Even though Huang Yourong knew that Zhao Junchen's attitude was just for show, he still had a lot of affection for Zhao Junchen in his heart. He was so
For a moment, Huang Yourong even forgot about his past hostile relationship with Zhao Junchen.
On the other side, after seeing Huang Yourong stunned, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly and reminded softly: "Senior Huang?"
After receiving Zhao Junchen's gentle reminder, Huang Yourong was slightly startled and finally came to his senses.
Then, Huang Yourong nodded to Zhao Junchen and said, "I'm delayed because of something in my house, but I'm late. I hope Master Zhao can forgive me."
Quietly, even Huang Yourong himself didn't notice that his attitude towards Zhao Junchen was actually a little more affectionate.
Zhao Junchen smiled softly and said: "You are a senior and I am a junior. It is appropriate to wait for a while. What's more, Senior Huang, you are not late at all... Oh, I'm rude, junior. This is not the place to talk. Please
Senior Huang entered the private room, the drinks and dishes are all ready, how about we talk while eating?"
After Huang Yourong nodded, Zhao Junchen led Huang Yourong into the private room. After both parties sat down, Xu Qingyan and others also left the room knowingly. For a while, only Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong were left in the private room.
So, it was time for a secret deal between the two parties.
After all, Huang Yourong was a little impatient. After accepting Zhao Junchen's toast, he asked directly to Zhao Junchen: "I am now a traitor to all my relatives, powerless and powerless. I have also been impeached by hundreds of officials. I am full of filth. Even if I can't protect myself, I will never do it."
It’s too much…”
As he spoke, Huang Yourong laughed at himself, while his eyes were fixed on the change in Zhao Junchen's expression, and he said slowly: "And Mr. Zhao, you are now in a prosperous state, and you are responsible for the rectification of business and taxation. It is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant, and I will meet you."
Compared with my situation, it can be said to be worlds apart... At this time, Mr. Zhao, you are still willing to take time out of your busy schedule to meet me, maybe there is something going on?"
After a pause, Huang Yourong added: "If it's a small matter, I might be able to help you a little bit, but if it's a big matter, given my current situation, I'm afraid I'll be helpless. Master Zhao would be better off hiring someone else."
Seeing Huang Yourong be so frank and directly telling his bottom line, which saved both sides the time of fighting, Zhao Junchen felt a little relaxed. He also confessed his intention and said with a smile: "Senior Huang, you are the former Pavilion Elder.
, disciples and old officials are all over the world, and their reputation and influence are far greater than those of the younger generations. It is really too modest."
Hearing Zhao Junchen's praise, Huang Yourong hummed slightly, but did not answer. He just waited for Zhao Junchen to continue speaking, and did not forget about it or waver in his position because of Zhao Junchen's compliment.
Seeing Huang Yourong's appearance, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly and said: "Especially, as far as I know, the current Minister of Rites, Mr. Lin Weilin, and Mr. Zhang Cheng, the young master, are closely related to Senior Huang. Although they are now They have taken refuge with Shen Shoufu, but as long as you are willing, Senior Huang, you can still persuade them to do something."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Huang Yourong felt a little wary and said, "Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng have just joined Shen Changmao. Although it hasn't been long, Shen Changmao treats them quite well, so the two of them People will never abandon Shen Changmao and then turn to others!"
Obviously, Huang Yourong thought that the reason why Zhao Junchen hosted a banquet for him today was to let him persuade Zhang Cheng, and Lin Wei and Lin Wei changed their families again and joined the "Zhao Party".
Huang Yourong would never agree to this kind of thing. Regardless of whether Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng were willing to join Zhao Junchen, if Huang Yourong really did this, then Huang Yourong would have to face the anger and revenge of his chief assistant, Shen Changmao. Although Shen Changmao's strength is not worthy of the position of chief assistant, it is more than enough to take care of Huang Yourong today.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Junchen opened his mouth, Huang Yourong refused outright.
However, Huang Yourong misunderstood Zhao Junchen's thoughts. Zhao Junchen did not intend to bribe Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng through Huang Yourong, and based on the qualifications, character, status, etc. of Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng, "Zhao Dang" There is no room for them. If they really take refuge in Zhao Junchen, they will cause a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "Senior Huang has misunderstood. This junior does not intend to let Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng change the position of the family, but this junior hopes that Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng can do it in the morning meeting tomorrow." One thing! Moreover, this matter will never make the two adults feel embarrassed!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Huang Yourong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his vigilance remained unabated and he asked, "Oh? What is it?"
Zhao Junchen replied: "Senior Huang, you are well aware of the current situation between the DPRK and China. The major factions in the DPRK and China are fighting endlessly over the cabinet vacancy. As of this morning, the 'Zhou Party' impeached the 'Shen Party' Zhao Zhenghe, the young security guard of ', also completely lost his qualifications to join the cabinet, and everyone in the 'Shen Party', from Chief Shen to Fu, didn't even have the courage to fight back..."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's description, Huang Yourong still snorted softly.
He is now extremely disappointed with Shen Changmao's performance.
Zhao Junchen continued: "The younger generation believes that the performance of the 'Shen Party' is too cowardly. Although the 'Zhou Party' is huge and unmatched, if they don't even dare to fight back, the 'Shen Party' will not be able to fight back in the future." What can they do? Therefore, the younger generation thinks that when the two adults, Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng, arrive at the court tomorrow morning, they should boldly stand up to fight back against the 'Zhou Party', and also take the opportunity to show their ambition to 'Sink the Party'. Presumably, they will 'Sink the Party'. 'The downturn will be swept away and morale will be boosted by the actions of these two adults. After seeing this situation, Shen Shoufu will never blame Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng."
Although Huang Yourong's vision and mind were far inferior to those of Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, he was by no means a fool to become a cabinet minister.
Therefore, after hearing Zhao Junchen's story, Huang Yourong immediately guessed Zhao Junchen's intention and asked defensively: "Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be so concerned about the 'Shen Party'... However, Zhao Your Excellency, you are doing this mainly because you want to use the hands of Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei to provoke a conflict between the 'Shen Party' and the 'Zhou Party', right? Then Mr. Zhao, you can reap the benefits... What a good plan! However, once there is a conflict between the 'Shen Party' and the 'Zhou Party', the 'Shen Party' will never be the opponent of the 'Zhou Party', and will definitely end in a disastrous defeat. At that time, Lin Wei, Zhang Cheng and the two will become the sinners of the 'Shen Party'. How will they gain a foothold within the 'Shen Party' in the future? Not only Lin Wei, Zhang Cheng and the others will not agree to Master Zhao's proposal, but I will also I would never agree to that.”
Seeing that Huang Yourong was so protective of Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei, Zhao Junchen was slightly startled, and his view of Huang Yourong also changed a bit.
Originally, although Zhao Junchen treated Huang Yourong with courtesy, in fact Zhao Junchen looked down on Huang Yourong.
In Zhao Junchen's view, when Huang Yourong has an advantage, he always likes to put on a smiling face, as if he has the winning ticket and a plan in his mind. But once he is at a disadvantage, he will get angry and anger others, without any trace of his anger. After he reached the desperate situation, he could not see any ambition and persistence. He simply surrendered to Shen Changmao and followed Shen Changmao... All these things, the four words "Strong on the outside but capable on the inside" are the words for Huang Yourong's most appropriate description.
But now it seems that Huang Yourong still has some merits.
At least, Huang Yourong sincerely considers Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei, his two loyal cronies.
Feeling a little emotional in his heart, Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Senior Huang, you have misunderstood again. This junior does not intend to let Zhang Cheng and Lin Wei provoke the conflict between the 'Shen Party' and the 'Zhou Party'. The junior said Well, what Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng are going to do will never arouse Shen Shoufu's blame! In fact, at tomorrow's morning meeting, the first person who will have a conflict with the 'Zhou Party' will not be ' Shen Dang', but the juniors and some of their close colleagues!"
Huang Yourong was stunned again and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Junchen did not hide anything and explained in detail: "With Senior Huang's perspective, he can naturally see clearly that the 'Zhou Party's large-scale impeachment of Zhao Zhenghe of the 'Shen Party' in court this morning is just the beginning, and the 'Zhou Party' 's next target may be Zuo Lanshan or Huo Zhengyuan, and these two adults have always been close to the juniors, so the juniors will never sit back and watch these two adults being criticized by the 'Zhou Party', let alone be like the 'Shen Party' We should just sit back and wait for death! If the 'Zhou Party' really takes action against these two adults, then the juniors will definitely fight against each other and refuse to give in, even if it causes chaos in the temple, they will not hesitate!"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's description, Huang Yourong seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.
