Yes, once the pilot starts, Zhao Junchen will gain the greatest and most benefits.
In comparison, Shen Changmao's various gains during this period pale into insignificance.
However, now is not the time to get carried away, so after hearing Emperor Deqing's instructions, Zhao Junchen just promised with a serious expression: "I will try my best and never let you down, Your Majesty."
The tone seemed firm, but the word "try your best" seemed to reveal Zhao Junchen's inner self-confidence.
Obviously, this was still Zhao Junchen's misinformation, and the effect was pretty good - after hearing Zhao Junchen's guarantee, the officials' vigilance was further reduced.
After all, Zhao Junchen's proposal is indeed a bit bizarre. Even if it sounds feasible, it is just talk on paper after all.
Even in the eyes of many officials, Zhao Junchen's pilot plan may be a good thing, which can effectively delay Emperor Deqing's actions to rectify commercial taxes and undermine Emperor Deqing's determination to rectify commercial taxes.
After seeing Zhao Junchen's performance, Emperor Deqing frowned slightly again, but did not say anything after all.
Then, after dealing with several backlogged government affairs, seeing that it was already noon and all the officials were a little tired, Emperor Deqing announced that he would go down to court.
*****
On top of today's big court meeting. Too many government affairs have been handled and too many decisions have been made, which will inevitably lead to many changes in the situation between the government and the opposition.
so. After Emperor Deqing left the Huangji Hall, the officials did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they gathered together to exchange views or discuss the situation.
Among them, the most popular person is still Shen Changmao, the new chief minister of the cabinet, who is at the top of today's court meeting. Because of business tax matters. Shen Changmao's reputation among the officials was getting higher and higher, and the number of officials surrounding Shen Changmao was actually more than before the imperial meeting began.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen also received a lot of attention because of the commercial tax matter. However, Zhao Junchen's performance was as low-key as ever. He only led Zuo Lanshan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Qin Huaiyuan, the minister of punishment, Tong Huan, the envoy of general affairs, etc. The person quickly left the Huangji Palace.
For Zhao Junchen, the layout has been completed, but how much he can gain in the end depends on Zhao Junchen's wisdom and skill. All in all, now is the time to keep a low profile, and Zhao Junchen does not need to be as public as Shen Changmao.
But when all the officials focused their attention on Shen Changmao and Zhao Junchen, few people noticed. Huang Yourong had left the Huangji Palace silently. Behind Huang Yourong, there were only six or seven "Yellow Party" officials accompanying him. Compared with before the great court meeting, more and more "Yellow Party" officials were willing to follow Huang Yourong. not enough.
Among them, Lin Wei, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Cheng, the young master, Huo Zhengyuan, the bachelor, and Chen Dongxiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, are all on the list.
But he said that after Huang Yourong left Huangji Hall with a few Huang Party officials, the group just walked in silence. At first, no one took the initiative to speak. After all, the signs that Huang Yourong was about to fall were obvious. In addition, Huang Yourong himself had lost the will to resist, so everyone was depressed and unable to lift their spirits.
After everyone left the palace, seeing no one else around, Huang Yourong, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. His voice had become extremely hoarse at some point, and he said slowly: "The current situation, everyone is You see, although I have been captured without any effort, Your Majesty still hasn’t let me go, and still wants to roast me on the fire rack... It’s just ridiculous that I have been in officialdom for decades, and in the end I can’t even retire and return to my hometown. When and for what reason I will retire, and even whether I can retire safely, I cannot make the decision myself, it all needs to be decided by others..."
Speaking of this, Huang Yourong's old face looked both crying and smiling, full of exhaustion and helplessness.
After hearing what Huang Yourong said, several Huang Party officials remained silent, not knowing how to comfort Huang Yourong.
Then, Huang Yourong said again: "Now, there are many people who don't want to see me escape smoothly, but they have made many accusations against me. However, I have lost my Sacred Heart and power, and I am completely unable to resist. Fortunately, there are Chief Shen is willing to help, otherwise I would have been dismissed from office and imprisoned pending trial..."
After saying that, Huang Yourong stopped, turned around and looked at the Huang Party officials, and continued: "At this time, you are still loyal to me, allowing me to save my last bit of face, I am very grateful, so I don’t want to hide it from you... In fact, I have planned to hand over all my connections, authority, and influence to Shen Shoufu. In this way, Shen Shoufu will do his best to help me leave the temple safely and return to my hometown for retirement. , and the power that I have been running for many years can continue under another situation...
Because of this, I have one last thing to ask you, hoping to get your full help, that is, please abide by the agreement between me and Shen Shoufu, and switch to Shen Shoufu's sect from now on... In addition, It is no longer convenient for me to show up in public, but I still want to ask everyone to come forward, summon all party officials, convey my thoughts to them, and try my best to persuade them to join Shen Chief Fu. Shen Chief Fu is now very powerful and is a good person. Family, and he also promised me that he will treat you as his confidants and will never treat you badly..."
After hearing Huang Yourong's statement, several "Yellow Party" officials behaved differently. Some were reluctant, some were secretly happy, and some looked silent.
Among them, Lin Wei, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Cheng, the Young Master, were both full of reluctance - they were loyal to Huang Yourong. Even if Huang Yourong was about to fall, they were unwilling to switch to others, let alone take the initiative to persuade him. "Yellow Party" officials changed their positions.
Therefore, both Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng remained silent.
After seeing the performance of Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng, Huang Yourong sighed softly.
Huang Yourong knew very well that his current performance had disappointed his two old friends, but he was unwilling to continue to embarrass them.
Therefore, Huang Yourong turned his attention to the academician Huo Zhengyuan. After all, apart from Lin Wei and Zhang Cheng, the only person qualified to summon the "Yellow Party" officials and relay Huang Yourong's decision was Huo Zhengyuan.
In addition, although Huo Zhengyuan's relationship with Huang Yourong is far away, his performance of repeatedly defending Huang Yourong today also proves Huo Zhengyuan's loyalty to Huang Yourong, so Huang Yourong can rest assured by leaving this matter to Huo Zhengyuan.
Under Huang Yourong's gaze, Huo Zhengyuan finally did not disappoint Huang Yourong and replied: "Since it is the order from Mr. Huang Ge, I will definitely do my best to handle it."
Then, Huo Zhengyuan said: "However, I'm afraid I can't handle this matter alone. I need help from others..."
While speaking, Huo Zhengyuan looked around at several "yellow party" officials and then said, "Let Mr. Chen Dongxiang and Mr. Chen handle this matter together with me."
Chen Dongxiang's performance today also made Huang Yourong feel reassured, so Huang Yourong agreed immediately without thinking too much.
Huang Yourong thought about it, with Huo Zhengyuan and Chen Dongxiang taking action, he would be able to convince most of the "Yellow Party" officials, and his connections and authority would be transferred to Shen Changmao smoothly.
However, Huang Yourong never expected that Huo Zhengyuan had been bribed by Zhao Junchen, and Chen Dongxiang had been an undercover agent sent by Zhao Junchen from the beginning, so the two of them would never act according to Huang Yourong's wishes.
In fact, after the two of them operated, the final result was contrary to Huang Yourong's expectations!
