Soon, Xiao Wenxuan, Su Xiqing, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun arrived at Zhao Junchen's room. Super fast and stable novel update, this article was first published by
After Zhao Junchen greeted everyone to sit down, he was not too polite, but went straight to the point, telling them in detail the history and current situation of the game between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing.
Then, Zhao Junchen asked: "This is the current situation. If nothing unexpected happens, the conflict between His Majesty and the First Assistant will turn from dark to bright in the past two days. It is precisely because of the sudden change in the political situation." At that time, what we should do to obtain the maximum benefit is very particular... Now, let's talk about your ideas."
They are all veterans who have been in the officialdom for many years, and now they are assisting important central ministers like Zhao Junchen. Most of them are from Jiangnan. They also know the details of last year's Japanese pirate rebellion, so even if Zhao Junchen doesn't explain, they will. You can roughly guess the current situation.
However, after receiving Zhao Junchen's explanation, their judgment of the situation became much more profound and clear.
In particular, Emperor Deqing's layout and calculations made them secretly frightened. They felt that the current situation in the court was far more complicated than they imagined.
However, apart from being secretly frightened, they also felt a hint of excitement.
Before assisting Zhao Junchen, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, and Li Chuanwen were among the best in the staff and were quite famous, but they had only assisted the governors, governors and other feudal officials, and participated in party disputes. Although there are not many plots, compared with the fighting game between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, regardless of the pattern, level, or influence, it is far inferior and cannot be compared at all.
As for the other three. Needless to say, Su Xiqing only assisted some minor officials before assisting Zhao Junchen; although Xiao Wenxuan was highly valued by Zhao Junchen. But he had just entered the staff job not long ago, and not long ago he was just a self-righteous scholar; Li Lun was certainly extremely smart. He also has a family background, but he is young and lacks experience.
Now, after just assisting Zhao Junchen, he can participate in the battle between the emperor and his chief assistant. Their suggestions and actions can even affect the world structure and historical changes. Naturally, there is an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
After all, in the hearts of all readers. "One word makes a country prosperous, one word harms the country" is the highest realm they pursue.
…
However, although they were excited and wanted to show their talents in front of Zhao Junchen, after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, several staff members did not rush to answer, but focused their attention on Su Xiqing.
After all, Su Xiqing has been assisting Zhao Junchen for the longest time, has the oldest qualifications, and has the most credit. Not only did Xiao Wenxuan study with Su Xiqing for a period of time, and he was regarded as half of Su Xiqing's apprentices, but Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun were also Su Xiqing's Introduced to Zhao Junchen, so although Su Xiqing's ability and intelligence are slightly lower. But he is still the leader of Zhao Junchen's staff team, and several other staff members will also give him enough respect.
Of course, if Su Xiqing fails to show enough ability. Sooner or later his place on the staff will be replaced by someone else.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Su Xiqing also wanted to show off his abilities, so he replied seriously: "Master Zhao, according to my judgment, Zhou Shangjing's defeat has been decided!"
"Oh? Why do you see it?"
"Your Majesty's layout is really clever. Under his serial calculations, the Zhou party has been trapped in the Japanese pirate rebellion and cannot extricate itself! After your Majesty moved into Canglang Pavilion, he first exposed his whereabouts, and then exposed himself to the common people. He escaped before besieging Canglang Pavilion. He came to live in the Humble Administrator's Garden, allowing himself to temporarily become a bystander. Leaving the big trouble of the people besieging Canglang Pavilion to Zhou Shangjing was a great move! Come down. Zhou Shangjing will be in a dilemma. No matter whether the people surrounding Canglang Pavilion are dispersed or not, the Japanese pirate rebellion will not be covered up. His crime of shielding Zhou Suhai will also be irrefutable. At that time, Zhou Shangjing will I can only let His Majesty slaughter me."
After a pause, Su Xiqing hesitated, and then added: "In fact, in order to further aggravate Zhou Shangjing's charges, His Majesty may take the opportunity to trigger a civil uprising. By that time, Zhou Shangjing will have no power to recover. , even if he can escape from the Japanese pirate rebellion, the civil uprising will be enough for him to drink."
Finally, Su Xiqing concluded: "In any case, your majesty has already taken advantage of this game. No matter how Zhou Shangjing plots, there is no way he can make a comeback. That's why I conclude that Zhou Shangjing's defeat has been decided." . Your top priority now, my lord, is to make complete preparations and try to take over Zhou Shangjing’s powerful legacy after Zhou Shangjing’s downfall!”
After hearing Su Xiqing's analysis, Zhao Junchen nodded noncommittally, then turned his attention to the others and asked, "What do you think?"
Xiao Wenxuan said: "My opinion is the same as Master Su. It seems that Zhou Shangjing is finally defeated! Next, the situation in the temple will definitely change drastically. Sir, you must make preparations in advance!"
Although Xiao Wenxuan immediately agreed with Su Xiqing's point of view, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun were all hesitant.
It stands to reason that Su Xiqing's analysis is not wrong. As this battle has developed to this point, the situation has gradually become clearer. Emperor Deqing has taken all the advantages, and Zhou Shangjing seems to have completely lost the chance to make a comeback.
Therefore, they could not refute Su Xiqing's point of view.
But the difference between them and Su Xiqing is that Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, and Li Chuanwen once assisted governors, governors and other officials of the imperial court and had a relatively high level of contact with the city, and they knew Zhou Shangjing's methods better, and Li Lun As the youngest son of Li Chuanwen, they had also heard Li Chuanwen tell many secrets of the imperial court. They did not believe that Zhou Shangjing would be overthrown by Emperor Deqing's scheme without any resistance!
So, after hesitating for a moment, Niu Fude took the lead and said: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle! Now, we have probably understood all of His Majesty's plans, but what about Zhou Shangjing's? In my opinion, with Zhou Shangjing's scheming and sophisticated calculations, I will never let His Majesty calculate, and there may be a trump card for a comeback. Now His Majesty seems to have an absolute advantage, but since ancient times, there have been many examples of using less to defeat more, and the weak to defeat the strong! However, if Zhou Shangjing wants to come back, , we must win by surprise! But what exactly Zhou Shangjing’s surprise weapon is requires further investigation.”
On the other side, Ouyang Bo said: "I think so too. Your Majesty seems to have the winning ticket, but Zhou Shangjing's scheming methods are no less than your Majesty's, and there may not be any possibility of turning defeat into victory. So just in case, sir, you must be prepared with both hands." Prepare, if His Majesty wins, how should we respond? If Zhou Shangjing wins, how should we respond? Only in this way can we be safe."
Li Chuanwen was the oldest, most experienced, and considered the most comprehensive, saying: "In addition, if you want to fish in troubled waters, you should also figure out what kind of benefits you want to obtain! Is it a position in the cabinet? Or is it greater power and influence? ? Or more followers? Or to further consolidate the Holy Family? After sorting out the priorities, we must make different preparations according to different needs!"
Regarding the views of Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, and Li Chuanwen, Zhao Junchen was still noncommittal and just nodded lightly.
Then, Zhao Junchen set his sights on Li Lun and motioned for Li Lun to express his opinion.
Among Zhao Junchen's staff team, Li Lun has the lowest status. Now that everyone has expressed their opinions, it is Li Lun's turn to speak out.
However, Li Lun was distracted and didn't notice Zhao Junchen's gaze at all. He was just thinking about something thoughtfully.
Seeing Li Lun like this, Li Chuanwen, as Li Lun's father, was worried that Zhao Junchen would be angry, so he coughed quickly and glared at Li Lun fiercely.
Then, Li Lun came to his senses and quickly apologized to Zhao Junchen, saying, "I couldn't help but guess Zhou Shangjing's response just now. I was distracted. It's really rude. Please forgive me."
Zhao Junchen did not blame Li Lun for being rude, but just asked: "Then what did you think of?"
Originally, Zhao Junchen just asked casually and didn't think Li Lun could think of anything useful.
After all, even Zhao Junchen couldn't understand Zhou Shangjing's various plans, let alone the fledgling Li Lun?
However, Li Lun said: "I probably have some ideas."
Zhao Junchen was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Oh? Tell me!"
