After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Li Lun organized his language a little and said: "Just now, Master Niu once said that His Majesty now has all the advantages. If Zhou Shangjing wants to save the defeat, he can only win by surprise. This sentence I am convinced by this! And I have read the history books over the years and found that the so-called "surprise victory" seems to have many tricks, but in fact there is only one point, that is to take advantage of the situation, divert the opponent's attention, and then concentrate on attacking Weaknesses of the opponent, and these weaknesses are often so hidden that even the opponent himself is not aware of them, so he does not take precautions."

After a pause, Li Lun continued: "So, I was thinking just now that Zhou Shangjing's 'win with surprise' must be that he found some of His Majesty's weaknesses, and then used this to force His Majesty to defend himself and give up the attack. But as the most powerful person in the world and the co-owner of the world, Your Majesty is already in an invincible position, so what weaknesses does Zhou Shangjing have that can be exploited?"

At this point, Li Lun felt a little embarrassed again and continued: "After I thought about this, I can't think of any weaknesses that your Majesty has that can be exploited. Please forgive me."

After hearing Li Lun's abrupt end of argument, the other staff had different expressions. Su Xiqing was disapproving, Xiao Wenxuan was thoughtful, Niu Fude had a serious expression, Ouyang Bo shook his head slightly, and Li Chuanwen frowned slightly.

As for Zhao Junchen, he was shocked.

Vaguely, Zhao Junchen felt that Li Lun's guess was very close to the truth!

Even, out of his understanding of Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen went one step further and found Emperor Deqing's weakness!

That is - imperial power!

Emperor Deqing's emphasis on imperial power is unparalleled! In fact, Emperor Deqing's attack on Zhou Shangjing this time was to weaken the power of ministers and strengthen the imperial power! But precisely because of this, if Emperor Deqing's actions against Zhou Shangjing not only failed to enhance the imperial power, but also damaged it, then Emperor Deqing must have stopped his actions!

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, and seemed to have grasped the idea and found Zhou Shangjing's strategic direction.

but. In an instant, Zhao Junchen was a little confused again.

What kind of methods should Zhou Shangjing use to make himself and the imperial power have a mutually beneficial relationship?

It seems that this is impossible!

Maybe. Only when Tu Qiong saw him could Zhao Junchen know the details!

However, no matter what, Li Lun's ability to think of this was enough for Zhao Junchen to look at him differently!

after all. Li Lun's ideas were something Zhao Junchen himself had never thought of!

This is why Zhao Junchen formed a staff team! The staff can help Zhao Junchen handle things and share the pressure, which is only part of it. Working together, brainstorming, making plans, checking for omissions and filling vacancies, etc., are the most important!

After all, limited by perspective, way of thinking, and experience, it is impossible for anyone to consider everything and cover everything. However, after forming a team of staff, they can learn from each other's strengths and discuss with each other, and sparks of thinking and inspiration can arise. .

The so-called "Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang". Although this saying is a bit exaggerated, it is not necessarily unreasonable.

Now, didn't Zhao Junchen suddenly become enlightened because of Li Lun's few unintentional words?



While thinking secretly, when Zhao Junchen looked at Li Lun again, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

However, on the surface, Zhao Junchen still looked noncommittal, and just nodded and said: "Well, your ideas are good. Unfortunately, they are not detailed enough and cannot be confirmed. Otherwise, we may be able to take advantage of the situation. Get greater The benefits.”

Zhao Junchen did not show his appreciation. After all, Li Lun was young, junior, and low in status. If Zhao Junchen showed too much appreciation and attention to him, he might arouse the jealousy of other staff members. After all, people like Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo and others are arrogant people. If Li Lun's limelight overwhelms them, they might not be happy.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen's plain expression was actually out of love for Li Lun.

Li Lun didn't know about this, but he could not hide his disappointment when he saw that Zhao Junchen had a dull expression and did not pay attention to his own ideas.

Zhao Junchen naturally saw Li Lun's expression, but Zhao Junchen still said nothing. He just changed the topic and discussed his next strategic direction with his staff.

Next, after detailed discussions, Zhao Junchen and several staff finally formulated a detailed plan. According to different situations and different needs, different strategies were formulated. It can be said that it is thoughtful and extremely detailed. In this way, Zhao Junchen can adapt to changes when the situation in the court changes.

By the time this discussion was over, it was already midnight.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Junchen stood up in person to see them off and sent several staff out of the room to show that he valued them.

When the staff left, Zhao Junchen stood outside the door. Although his eyes were a little tired, he was more satisfied!

Since entering the temple, Zhao Junchen has been going smoothly for various reasons, and has not encountered too many setbacks or regrets.

If Zhao Junchen were asked to choose one biggest regret, it would undoubtedly be that he missed Zhao Shancai and was unable to use Zhao Shancai for his own use.

Zhao Shancai was not only talented, but also inherited the knowledge of emperors. If Zhao Junchen could get his assistance, he would undoubtedly be even more powerful.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shancai was not willing to "complicit" with Zhao Junchen and flatly rejected Zhao Junchen's solicitation, which has always made Zhao Junchen feel very regretful.

However, today, Zhao Junchen has gradually looked away.

How big is the world? How many talents are there? How could I have it all?

On the other hand, it is precisely because of this that although Zhao Shancai is outstanding, he is not indispensable! Not to mention others, Li Lun, Xiao Wenxuan, Zeng Wei and others are all outstanding figures among the younger generation. If they are trained properly, they may not be too inferior in the future! What's more, after the formation of Zhao Junchen's staff team, with the collective efforts of everyone, the effect will only be better than Zhao Shancai's assistance!

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and suddenly felt a little relaxed.



After the formation of the staff team, although Zhao Junchen became more relaxed, the situation in the court was not easy, but became more severe!

On the second day after the people surrounded Canglang Pavilion, a sudden "accident" caused an uproar in the government and the public!

On this day, the people who surrounded Canglang Pavilion, under the guidance of some thoughtful people, actually attacked Canglang Pavilion with excitement! It caused a great chaos, almost a civil uprising!

Then, out of necessity, Canglangting turned to the Suzhou government for help. However, the total number of government officials and policemen in Suzhou city was only more than 200. How could they control more than a thousand agitated people?

In desperation, the Suzhou government had no choice but to report it to Zhou Shangjing!

By the way, Emperor Deqing "happened" to travel at this time and didn't know where to go.

At the critical moment, Zhou Shangjing had no choice but to use his connections to request the garrison in Suzhou to "pacify the chaos."

Then, under the joint suppression of the police, government officials and the army, the people's commotion was quickly calmed down.

However, with the help of some well-intentioned people, this crackdown became extremely fierce, and the people suffered a lot of damage. Three people were "accidentally killed" and seven others were seriously injured!

At the same time, thousands of people were arrested and imprisoned by the Suzhou government. For a time, the cells in Suzhou City were overcrowded!

As a result, it naturally caused an uproar!

By the way, the reason why the people besieged Canglang Pavilion was also found out! It was actually because of the Japanese pirate rebellion!

Just two days ago, Zhou Shangjing assured Emperor Deqing that there had never been a Japanese pirate rebellion in Suzhou! Nowadays, the people have a civil uprising because of the Japanese pirate rebellion. There is only one explanation!

——Zhou Shangjing committed the crime of deceiving the emperor in order to protect his eldest grandson Zhou Suhai!

——And Zhou Shangjing’s cronies are all complicit in colluding with Zhou Shangjing!

As a result, the upright Qingliu people became angry! Political speculators eager for promotion are excited! Zhou Shangjing’s political opponents are excited!

Therefore, in the evening, when Emperor Deqing returned to the Humble Administrator's Garden, his desk was already filled with impeachment notes!

A total of one hundred and seventeen pieces of information, all of which were for impeachment of Zhou Shangjing!

For a time, Zhou Shangjing's remarks that "there is no escape from guilt" were all over the court, and it seemed to have become the strongest public opinion in the world today!

At the same time, Emperor Deqing's layout and calculations against Zhou Shangjing were coming to an end!

In the eyes of most people, Zhou Shangjing's defeat is already a certainty!
