Nowadays, because of the vacancy in the cabinet, the situation is turbulent. All the major forces have their own plans, compete with each other, calculate with each other, sometimes become hostile, sometimes join forces, and all the officials are busy for their own interests.
With so much to handle, time naturally flies by.〔
The same is naturally true for Zhao Junchen.
On this day, after the morning court, Zhao Junchen first dealt with Emperor Deqing, then secretly bribed Huang Yourong, then convened the "Zhao Party" officials to secretly discuss the specific plan for tomorrow's morning court, and finally compiled intelligence for confirmation
News and so on, when everything was over, the sky outside the window was dark, and it was already the ugly time of the next day.
After resting for another two hours, it was already halfway through Yinshi. Seeing that the morning court was about to begin, although Zhao Junchen's physical and mental exhaustion had not been relieved in any way, he still did not dare to neglect it. After washing his face with cold water to cheer up a little, he
He hurriedly arrived at the Meridian Gate in a sedan chair, ready to light the candle and go to court.
This day is destined to be rough and chaotic, so Zhao Junchen naturally does not dare to slack off.
When Zhao Junchen got off the sedan chair, he looked up and looked around the Meridian Gate, and found that most of the officials were in similar situations to himself, whether it was Zuo Lanshan, Huo Zhengyuan and others under his sect, or the core ministers of other factions, such as Song Qiwen
, Cheng Yuandao and others all looked exhausted, not getting enough rest, but struggling to keep up their spirits and not daring to relax.
Obviously, the changes in the temple in recent days have made all the officials a little nervous, either for profit or for self-protection. Everyone is secretly preparing, and no one dares to be idle.
On the other side, after seeing Zhao Junchen appear, everyone in the "Zhao Party", led by Zuo Lanshan and Huo Zhengyuan, rushed to greet Zhao Junchen.
Nowadays, Zhao Junchen's power and influence are increasing, and there are more and more cronies. As everyone welcomes him, twenty or thirty officials gather around Zhao Junchen, and the momentum is quite huge.
In fact, Zhao Junchen has always had a low-key personality and never deliberately showed off his momentum. In the past, Zhao Junchen would not have allowed everyone in the "Zhao Party" to gather around him. Although this would give him a prestige, it would also attract others.
Jealousy, hostility and fear.
But today is different from the past. Officials of the "Zhao Party" already know Zhao Junchen's determination to confront the "Zhou Party" head-on. However, the "Zhou Party" is so powerful, deeply rooted, and has accumulated so much prestige.
Everyone was well aware of "Zhao Dang" and was deeply impressed, so they were all a little worried and did not have much confidence in escaping. Now that they saw Zhao Junchen, they subconsciously gathered around Zhao Junchen.
, wanting to seek some peace of mind from Zhao Junchen.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen was also able to guess what the people in the "Zhao Party" were thinking, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to show his current strength and influence to the officials, so he did not stop the actions of the "Zhao Party" people and let the two
Thirty "Zhao Party" officials surrounded themselves in the middle.
Then, Zhao Junchen looked around at everyone in the "Zhao Party" and saw the nervous or worried expressions in his eyes. He suddenly smiled softly and said slowly: "My lords, regarding today's matter,
There is no need to worry so much. Since I dare to confront the 'Zhou Party', I am naturally fully prepared. All you have to do is follow the plan. Even if the sky falls, I will naturally be there to support you.
!”
Everyone in the "Zhao Party" gathered around Zhao Junchen. In fact, they just wanted to hear Zhao Junchen's guarantee.
Therefore, after hearing Zhao Junchen's story, although everyone in the "Zhao Party" did not know whether Zhao Junchen's guarantee was credible, they were still more or less secretly relieved and felt less nervous. .
Then, everyone in the "Zhao Party" expressed their support and confidence in Zhao Junchen. Although these statements were half-true and half-false, and most of them were not true, the internal position of the "Zhao Party" was at least temporarily unified.
Zhao Junchen naturally knew the attitude of everyone in the "Zhao Party", but Zhao Junchen did not force it. He just continued: "Yesterday, the 'Zhou Party' impeached Zhao Zhenghe of the 'Shen Party'. As a result, Shen Chang Maogui was the assistant, but he was afraid of Zhou Shangjing's power and did not even dare to fight back. In the end, Zhao Zhenghe lost his position as assistant. Today, the next target of the 'Zhou Party' may be us. If we do the same If you are a coward like the 'Shen Party', how can you make a difference in the future? Is it possible that you will avoid the 'Zhou Party' all your life? If the 'Zhou Party' impeached Mr. Zuo today, we will remain silent and criticize Huo tomorrow. Grand Bachelor, we are still admitting defeat. When the 'Zhou Party' targets us again, how can we expect others to stand up for us? Isn't it that we come together to 'watch and help' the four of us? What's more, although the 'Zhou Party' is powerful, but because of this, sooner or later they will be a mountain we have to climb over. As long as we still have some ambitions, the conflict between us and the 'Zhou Party' will be It is unavoidable, so my lords, please do not take chances or be afraid of the enemy, just give it a try! If we win this battle, we will have a brighter future, and your lords’ prospects will be even brighter! "
Zhao Junchen's reasoning was both inducement and coercion. Naturally, everyone in the "Zhao Party" agreed one after another. Although their fear was still there, they finally had some fighting spirit in their hearts.
Seeing that everyone in the "Zhao Party" finally looked a little more excited, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction.
Today's "Zhao Party" officials are mostly corrupt and cunning, and Zhao Junchen never expects them to have the ambition to fight against the odds, but as long as these people can obey his orders and act, Zhao Junchen will be satisfied.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen finally asked the question.
I saw Zhao Junchen's eyes on Zuo Lanshan, Huo Zhengyuan, Zhan Shanchang, Liu Changan and other core members of the "Zhao Party", and asked: "Are you all ready?"
Zuo Lanshan, Huo Zhengyuan and others all replied solemnly: "We are fully prepared according to your instructions, and we guarantee that everything will be perfect!"
Zhao Junchen nodded again with satisfaction and said, "In that case, I don't have anything to worry about."
After saying that, Zhao Junchen suddenly looked beyond the "Zhao Party" people and looked at the "Zhou Party" people in the distance.
There, Zhou Shangjing, surrounded by a group of "Zhou Party" officials, was discussing something with Song Qiwen.
Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled and said: "Before the war begins, I want to have a few words with Mr. Zhou Ge, so you don't have to follow me."
After saying that, Zhao Junchen lined up the "Zhao Party" officials in front of him and walked towards Zhou Shangjing's position.
At this time, officials from the "Zhao Party" were seen gathering around Zhao Junchen. The scene was quite impressive, and the various factions in the DPRK also had different expressions.
Among them, Zhou Shangjing just glanced lightly and his expression remained unchanged, but everyone in the 'Zhou Party' looked a little serious; while Shen Changmao looked gloomy. After seeing that Zhao Junchen seemed to be deliberately showing off his power, he looked a little jealous. Hate; Most of the "Prince Party" people looked disdainful, while Prince Zhu Heyu had a serious expression, as if he had seen the abominable scene of treacherous people filling the government and the public; as for the "Emperor" officials headed by Wang Shou, most of them were the same. He looked like he was watching the fun.
However, when they saw Zhao Junchen taking the initiative to walk towards Zhou Shangjing, their expressions changed.
Outside the Meridian Gate, all the officials also fell silent, holding their breath and observing carefully.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that the target of "Party Zhou" today is most likely "Party Zhao".
At this time, Zhao Junchen suddenly wanted to come into contact with Zhou Shangjing. The officials were confused and naturally attracted much attention.
