Zhao Junchen said that Emperor Deqing was suspicious and difficult to deal with. In fact, once a person is in a high position, he will inevitably subconsciously trust the people around him less and be more wary. [No pop-up novel website]
Even Zhao Junchen himself is now accustomed to thinking about problems from the perspective of "evil nature". He is always secretly guarding against his colleagues in the court, his subordinates, and even his close associates when they use him.
Since coming to this world, the only person Zhao Junchen truly trusted was Xu Qingyan, but Xu Qingyan's ability and mind destined him to be useless.
Sometimes, Zhao Junchen even wonders whether the reason why he trusts Xu Qingyan so much, in addition to knowing Xu Qingyan thoroughly, is also because Xu Qingyan has ordinary abilities and a simple mind, making it easy for him to manipulate and see through?
Although Zhao Junchen always hated Xu Qingyan, but thinking about it conversely, if one day Xu Qingyan's ability and mental ability soared beyond Zhao Junchen's expectations, and even made Zhao Junchen feel that he could not control it, then would Zhao Junchen still be able to do it? Do you trust him as much as you do now?
This kind of thought has often appeared in Zhao Junchen's mind in recent days, but Zhao Junchen always subconsciously dared not think about it deeply.
Because, if he thought it through, Zhao Junchen was afraid that he would even hate himself.
“People say that ‘it’s always cold at high places’, but does the cold at high places come from the environment or from people’s hearts?”
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen murmured to himself.
………
"Master, what are you talking about?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's soft words to himself, Fang Ru next to him asked curiously.
Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile, calmed down the sudden complicated thoughts, and said: "Pour me a cup of tea to moisten my throat. Hold this cinnamon in your mouth. Although it can make your throat hoarse, it is also really uncomfortable."
Fang Ru hurriedly poured tea for Zhao Junchen, then held it in her hand and blew it gently until the temperature was right. the taste of.
While Zhao Junchen was drinking tea to moisten his throat, he was thinking about his arrangement with Fang Ru.
After these days of observation. Zhao Junchen was basically relieved about Fang Ru's thoughts. Considering Fang Ru's ability, it would be a waste to just let her idle like this.
Zhao Junchen did not intend to let Fang Ru intervene in official affairs, but Fang Ru could help with some private arrangements. For example, the matter of "Yue Rong Fang" seems to be just an ordinary store, but it involves many interests of Zhao Junchen's group.
and. According to Zhao Junchen's established plan, the manufacturing and sales of glass, and the development and arrangement of the Jenny spinning machine will soon be put on the agenda. The profitability of these two things. The soaps and perfumes that are much higher than those of "Yue Rongfang" are also most suitable for wooing court officials and tying them to the interests of certain forces.
In addition, Zhao Junchen still lacks an effective intelligence network to monitor various changes in the government and opposition parties.
And the arrangement and responsibility of these things. Fang Ru is a more suitable candidate.
Thinking like this. Zhao Junchen raised his head and said to Fang Ru: "Ru'er, the affairs at Yuerongfang have always been taken care of by Zhao An, the steward of the mansion. However, although Zhao An is more than safe, he is not courageous enough. No matter how big or small things are, they are always in charge. He was asking me for instructions, not to mention how much time he would waste by doing so. I didn’t have time to take care of the matters of Yuerongfang. During this period, the expansion of the branches of Yuerongfang was much slower. I What I mean is that you will be responsible for arranging things there from now on, what do you think?"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Fang Ru couldn't help but look happy. Firstly, Zhao Junchen calls her "Ru'er", which makes her much closer than before. Secondly, Fang Ru has become accustomed to doing things for Zhao Junchen over the years, and uses this to increase her weight in Zhao Junchen's heart. Now Zhao Junchen is again Using her showed trust and made Fang Ru feel at ease.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Fang Ru nodded in agreement, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and said softly: "Master, if you believe me, then I will help share the burden. I will not let you do anything for Yuerongfang anymore." Things just take care of themselves.”
Seeing that Fang Ru seemed to have a normal expression, but couldn't help but secretly be happy, Zhao Junchen smiled and shook his head and said: "Over there at Yuerongfang, it's actually difficult for me not to bother. Things are not what you think. Simple, the dividends of each period of "Yue Rong Fang" are related to whether my power foundation is stable and cannot be ignored. In addition, with the expansion of "Yue Rong Fang", I also intend to take the opportunity to cultivate a group of available manpower. , I will open two other properties in a few days, and the profit will be much higher than that of Yuerongfang. With available manpower, it will be much more convenient then."
Having said this, Zhao Junchen's face straightened, and he said: "In addition, among these available people, I also have the intention to select some smart and loyal ones to build an intelligence network in the center of the capital. Now we are just like blind people in the capital. Like a deaf person, let alone the slightest sign of trouble, even some big things are always an afterthought. If this situation continues, you will suffer big losses sooner or later in the future, but you must prepare as early as possible."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Fang Ru's face became serious. After thinking for a moment, she nodded seriously to Zhao Junchen and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will start to arrange these things."
Zhao Junchen also nodded and said with a smile: "I can rest assured that you will do the work."
Seeing Zhao Junchen's attitude like this, Fang Ru couldn't help but feel happy again, her big eyes curved into two crescents.
On the other side, Xu Qingyan was not very happy. Although Fang Ru had gained Zhao Junchen's trust and was no longer a hidden danger, due to the various conflicts between the two in the past, there were countless old grievances and conflicts. For Fang Ru's existence, , Xu Qingyan still disliked it.
Seeing that he couldn't get in the middle of the discussion between Zhao Junchen and Fang Ru, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Master, it's just a trivial matter at Yuerongfang. Now that you are claiming to be sick, even if it is Officials close to him like Zuo Lanshan and Zhan Shanchang also avoided seeing him, so do they really not care about the matters in the temple?"
Zhao Junchen said softly: "It's okay. I just fell ill now, and I will act like I'm ill when I'm sick. Naturally, Zuo Lanshan and Zhan Shanchang can't see each other yet, otherwise they will show their flaws, and I can just take advantage of the opportunity." , look at the ability and loyalty of these people. What's more, His Majesty's attitude is clear now. Even if Zuo Lanshan and the others can't handle my rights in the court, Your Majesty will help me. If necessary, I can. You can recover at any time, no need to worry about it. We can just watch the show with peace of mind as there are turmoils in the temple."
After a pause, Zhao Junchen smiled softly and said: "Actually, I pretended to be sick this time, and of course I was acting according to the plan, but those seniors probably had their own plans. As I retreated behind the scenes, The mutual checks and balances among the various factions in the center of the temple will also be broken. If my prediction is correct, I am afraid there will be some chaos in the court. The arrangement of the southern tour is only one part of it. In contrast, what I really look forward to is what Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao, Huang Yourong and Prince Zhu Heyu will do when they take advantage of the chaos. If the time is right, although I am not good at fishing in troubled waters, I can. I wouldn’t mind giving it a try.”
