Lin Youlun and Situ Han both had a close relationship with Huo Zhengyuan. Their separate statements and tit-for-tat confrontations were all due to Huo Zhengyuan's secret instigation.
However, the "Yellow Party" officials present did not know this. After hearing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Lin Youlun and Situ Han, they all subconsciously waited for the next step and wanted to hear their specific views.
However, when Lin Youlun saw Situ Han refuting his point of view, he still looked sarcastic and asked, "Oh? Brother Situ doesn't agree with Lin's point of view? But I don't know what brother Situ has to say?"
Situ Han shook his head and said: "Mr. Lin, I am not against your point of view. I also think that the real reason why Mr. Huang Ge wants us to switch to Shen Shoufu's sect is just the terms of his transaction with Shen Shoufu. From this point on, On the one hand, we people have indeed been betrayed, but this does not mean that it is wrong for us to switch to Shen Shoufu! Now, Shen Shoufu is in the limelight. If we join him, not only can we guarantee our original interests, but we may also We can get a lot of extra benefits, so even if we join Shen Shoufu, what's wrong with it?"
After hearing Situ Han's point of view, many "yellow party" officials nodded secretly.
For them, profit is the most important thing, and it is also the fundamental reason why they want to switch to Shen Changmao. Compared with this, things like being betrayed and allowed to be traded are a bit embarrassing, but Still acceptable.
However, while they agreed with Situ Han's point of view, they also subconsciously agreed that they had been betrayed by Huang Yourong. However, at this time, few people could detect this.
On the other side, after Lin Youlun heard Situ Han's point of view, his expression became more sarcastic: "Oh? I don't know where Brother Situ got the conclusion from, that we people can not only ensure the original interests after joining Shen Changmao , can we get additional benefits? Just because of Chief Shen’s promise? Brother Situ is so sure that Chief Shen will keep his promise?”
Situ Han asked back: "Shen Chief Fu is the leader of the cabinet after all, so how can he break his word on this matter?"
Lin Youlun sneered and said: "If it were just Shen Shoufu, I would believe his promise, but brother Situ, don't forget. There are many 'Shen Party' officials under Shen Ge's old family! Since Shen Shoufang can They can accommodate people like us, but can those "Shen Party" officials tolerate us? We have been fighting with the "Shen Party" for many years, and there are many conflicts, whether public or private. Brother Situ really thinks that these conflicts can be easily resolved What's more, there are only so many benefits that Shen Shoufu can obtain. It is impossible to avoid conflicts during distribution, and this conflict will only become more intense... We can put ourselves in his shoes and think about it, if Mr. Huang Ge is now the The chief minister, and chief minister Shen, are about to fall. When those 'Shen Party' officials defect to us, will we squeeze them out?"
After a pause, Lin Youlun continued: "It is certain that after we take refuge with Shen Shoufu, we will inevitably have conflicts with those old people of the 'Shen Party'. As for us newcomers, which side does Brother Situ think Mr. Shen will help when the time comes? When the conflict between the two sides becomes more intense and irreconcilable, we won’t get any extra benefits. I’m afraid even our original interests will have to be ceded. Come out with some of it!"
After hearing Lin Youlun's point of view, the expressions of all the "yellow party members" present changed slightly!

At the same time, Huo Zhengyuan was sitting on the main seat, watching the fierce debate between Lin Youlun and Situ Han, and watching the changing expressions of the Yellow Party members because of this debate. In his seemingly calm eyes, It was an unnoticed flash of pride.
As mentioned above, when Huo Zhengyuan put forward the suggestion, both Lin Youlun's opposition and Situ Han's support came. All were arranged by Huo Zhengyuan in advance.
In the final analysis, the seemingly heated debate between Lin Youlun and Situ Han was just a play directed and acted by Huo Zhengyuan.
This scene was naturally performed for everyone in the "yellow party" to see.
Huo Zhengyuan wanted to lead the "Yellow Party" people to join Zhao Junchen, but he knew it very well. Although Zhao Junchen's current strength is sufficient, his reputation, qualifications, and status are still low. Moreover, he just had a fierce party dispute with the "Yellow Party" faction not long ago. He wants to win over the officials of the "Yellow Party" It would be extremely difficult to switch to Zhao Junchen's sect together, if he forcibly made such a suggestion. You will definitely encounter strong opposition, and only a few people will follow you.
However, Huo Zhengyuan deserves to be known as "intelligent and courageous". Although he encountered an extremely difficult situation, he quickly thought of the best solution - although this method may not be able to solve the problem in one fell swoop, it can at least be very effective. Improve the feasibility and final effect of the plan to exploit corners to a great extent.
Huo Zhengyuan's solution is also very simple, that is - when Huo Zhengyuan himself puts forward the suggestion that all members of the "Yellow Party" switch to Shen Changmao's sect, let some of his own people take the lead in supporting this suggestion, and then let some of his own people take the lead in opposing this suggestion. , and have a heated debate with each other.
In this way, whether they are supporters or opponents, their own people will take the lead and set the pace. Supporters are our own people, and opponents are also our own people. Huo Zhengyuan himself will act as the host and judge. In this way, Huo Zhengyuan Naturally, it can guide the thinking of the "Yellow Party" officials to a large extent, and control the process and results of this debate!
For example, now, Lin Youlun is taking the lead in opposing the proposal of the "Yellow Party" to defect to Shen Changmao, and Situ Han takes the initiative to refute. In this way, Situ Han has become the leader of all those who want to defect to Shen Changmao. They are representatives of the "yellow party" officials, and the outcome of the debate between the two people will also greatly affect the judgment of the "yellow party" people.
During the debate between Lin Youlun and Situ Han, as Situ Han's arguments were refuted one by one by Lin Youlun, the determination of the "Yellow Party" officials to switch to Shen Changmao would definitely be shaken. At this time, Huo Zhengyuan Then stand up and express your position and choices, and show the role of "leading by example", and then you can change the minds of most "yellow party" officials.
In fact, the plan has been quite successful so far.
*****
With such a plan in mind, Huo Zhengyuan observed the situation and thought to himself: "Now, with Lin Youlun's continuous speeches, everyone's idea of taking refuge in Shen Changmao has been shaken, but there has been no fundamental change. , it is not the time for me to express my position, but I need a decisive factor to completely shake everyone's idea of taking refuge with Shen Changmao..."
Thinking of this, Huo Zhengyuan secretly signaled to Lin Youlun and Situ Han to continue the debate.
At the same time, Huo Zhengyuan winked at Chen Dongxiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and signaled Chen Dongxiang to be ready to speak at any time.
