Sitting on the dragon chair, watching the fierce conflict between the "Zhao Party" and the "Zhou Party", Emperor Deqing had no expression on his face and could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but his brows were slightly frowned and his eyes were slightly gloomy. .
Like the officials, Emperor Deqing also believed that the "Zhao Party" had overreacted and acted impulsively and recklessly. On the contrary, the "Zhou Party" behaved more restrainedly, and the "Zhou Party" now fiercely counterattacked , to a large extent just was angered by "Zhao Party".
Therefore, Emperor Deqing inevitably complained about Zhao Junchen, and felt that Zhao Junchen had posed a problem for him.
Indeed, I gave you Zhao Junchen some hints and expressed my support in a subtle way. I hope that you "Zhao Party" and "Zhou Party" can fight, but there must be a limit. You don't think about the consequences. He made a big fuss, completely broke up with the "Zhou Party", and completely aroused the anger of the "Zhou Party", but how can you, the "Zhao Party", be the opponent of the "Zhou Party"? Once a fight to the death occurs and Zhou Shangjing becomes ruthless, even if I want to help you, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything!
It is true that the "Zhou Party" impeached Zuo Lanshan today because they took the initiative to offend. But you, the "Zhao Party", are just going to take advantage of the situation. We all have a long way to go. If you don't bow your head and don't raise your head, why bother to deliberately create such an incompatible situation? situation? Can you, the "Zhao Party", continue to fight against the "Zhou Party"? Do you, "Party Zhao," have this ability?
Indeed, the cabinet position is very important, and all the major factions are jealous. The "Zhao Party" has no one in the cabinet, and they want to get it quickly. However, no matter how important the cabinet seat is, it is not worth completely falling out with the "Zhou Party" Ah, have you ever considered the difference between investment and risk?
All in all, you, Zhao Junchen, have made such a big deal, have you ever considered the consequences? How do you ask me to help you end it?
While thinking deeply, Emperor Deqing felt a little dissatisfied, and looked at Zhao Junchen with a slightly sinister look.
Abnormal things are demons. Although Emperor Deqing never believed that Zhao Junchen had any clever methods, he also did not think that Zhao Junchen would be so ignorant of advance and retreat and unable to see the situation clearly.
Therefore, with Emperor Deqing's suspicious character, after thinking of the abnormality, he soon began to doubt whether Zhao Junchen's actions today were impulsive and reckless without thinking about the consequences? Or use yourself and use the topic to your advantage! ?
Therefore, seeing the "Zhao Party" gradually falling into a disadvantage, Emperor Deqing remained indifferent and did not help, but just waited and watched.
However, Emperor Deqing soon regretted his decision.
Because the real chaos has just begun.
*
Just when the "Zhao Party" and the "Zhou Party" were in fierce conflict, and the "Zhao Party" was gradually falling into a disadvantage, Lin Wei, the Minister of Rites, could not resist Huang Yourong's pleading eyes. He walked out of the queue slowly with a heavy face and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Seeing Lin Wei suddenly come out to speak, everyone in Huangji Hall was stunned. They originally thought that "Shen Dang" had made up his mind to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers today, but they did not expect Lin Wei to suddenly express his position.
For a time, many people looked past Lin Wei and focused on the chief assistant, Shen Changmao, thinking that Lin Wei's statement was due to Shen Changmao's instruction.
But in fact, after seeing Lin Wei come out to speak, Shen Changmao was equally surprised and didn't know what Lin Wei wanted to say.
Just like that, under the surprised gaze of all the officials, Lin Wei said slowly and expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I believe that what the great scholar Huo Zhengyuan said just now may not be unreasonable! Now that there is a vacancy in the cabinet, Including Li He, the bachelor, Zuo Lanshan, the Minister of Industry, and Zhao Zhenghe, the Shaobao, are all candidates to join the cabinet to assist the government! But just yesterday, Zhao Zhenghe, the Shaobao, was suddenly impeached. Today, It was Master Zuo of Zuo Lanshan who was impeached, and the colleagues who impeached the two masters had many overlaps, and most of them were close friends with Grand Scholar Li He. The matter was a little strange. Maybe someone wanted to suppress dissidents. It is possible to frame the minister and secretly escort Li He and the Grand Scholar into the cabinet. I hope your Majesty will be wise to this!"
As Lin Wei finished speaking, the expressions of all the officials in Huangji Palace changed again.
In the eyes of the uninformed officials, Lin Wei suddenly mentioned that Zhao Zhenghe was criticized by the "Zhou Party" yesterday, which obviously meant that the "Shen Party" would unite with the "Zhao Party" to jointly resist the "Zhou Party"!
However, after hearing Lin Wei's statement, Shen Changmao's expression changed again, and he looked slightly panicked.
Unlike Zhao Junchen, Shen Changmao had no intention of conflict with Zhou Shangjing, and had no confidence in defeating Zhou Shangjing, even if he joined forces with the "Zhao Party".
Therefore, Lin Wei's sudden statement undoubtedly disrupted Shen Changmao's plan and made Shen Changmao a little confused. He didn't know how to react for a while!
However, although Shen Changmao does not know how to react, it does not mean that the "Shen Party" officials also do not know how to react.
Yesterday, under the attack of the "Zhou Party", the "Shen Party" showed no resistance and acted like a cow. This performance not only attracted ridicule from hundreds of officials, but also many officials within the "Shen Party". I felt like I was holding back my anger. Today I saw that "Zhao Party" was not afraid of the power of "Zhou Party" and fought with "Zhou Party" without giving in. Everyone in "Shen Party" felt even more ashamed.
Now, seeing Lin Wei finally stand up and show the tough stance of "Shen Party", intending to take the opportunity to retaliate against "Zhou Party", everyone in "Shen Party" also felt happy in their hearts.
Therefore, under the leadership of Lin Wei, many "Shen Party" officials only wanted to vent their anger, without seriously considering the pros and cons. They all made statements to support Lin Wei's views!
"Your Majesty, I think what Lin Shangshu said is quite reasonable. In the past two days, except for the bachelor Li He, the cabinet candidates have been impeached one after another, and the impeachment charges are quite far-fetched. I am afraid that the drunkard is not interested in drinking. It’s a move by some people to plot against the cabinet!”
"Your Majesty, the impeachment that Zhao Zheng and Mr. Zhao suffered yesterday is quite suspicious in retrospect. It is really far-fetched to suddenly implicate Mr. Zhao just because of the unconfirmed crimes of some local officials. Please ask your Majesty to ask for your help. Take a look!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the turmoil in the court in recent days is enough to show that some important officials in the court are forming cliques for personal gain and suppressing dissidents. I hope that your Majesty will investigate strictly."
"His Majesty"
In just a moment, seven or eight officials from the "Shen Party" came out one after another to stand on the opposite side of the "Zhou Party", and their statements were even more intense than those of the "Zhao Party" before.
On the other side, many officials of the "Zhou Party" were also blinded by anger under the repeated provocations of the "Zhao Party". They had completely forgotten about the city government and forbearance, and they were like firecrackers that exploded at one point. Now they see When officials from the "Shen Party" came out one after another to fight back against the "Zhou Party", they immediately took a stand and fought back without even thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, I believe that precisely because Zhao Zhenghe and Zuo Lanshan are both candidates to join the cabinet, their official conduct and character must be scrutinized more strictly. Otherwise, how can we allow some people with bad conduct to enter the core of the cabinet? Where?"
"Your Majesty, the various charges against Zhao Zhenghe and Zuo Lanshan are all proven beyond doubt. If there is no strict investigation, neither the government nor the public will be convinced. I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly!"
"Your Majesty, there are so many officials today who are forcibly defending Zhao Zhenghe and Zuo Lanshan regardless of the facts. This just shows that these two people have formed a clique for personal gain."
"His Majesty"
Under the counterattack of the "Zhou Party", more and more "Shen Party" officials were involved in this conflict.
Therefore, in addition to the "Zhao Party", the "Zhou Party" also had a fierce conflict with the "Shen Party", because the momentum and influence of the "Zhou Party" were much higher than that of the "Zhao Party" and the "Shen Party". Under the strong pressure of the "Zhou Party", it didn't take long for the "Zhao Party" and the "Shen Party" to unconsciously unite and jointly resist the "Zhou Party"'s attack.
In this way, although it was not Shen Changmao's original intention, the situation in which the "Shen Party" united with the "Zhao Party" to fight against the "Zhou Party" has in fact been formed.
At the same time, seeing the situation becoming increasingly chaotic, several treacherous ministers and corrupt officials in the DPRK were criticizing each other in a lively manner. The officials of the "Prince Party" who had always been unwilling to be lonely were also all excited and ready to act. Just like a snipe and a clam fighting, maybe you can become a fisherman and benefit from it
When such an idea emerged, it didn't take long for "Prince Party" officials to make statements, adding fuel to the fire in the name of upright speeches, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
*
Seeing the rapid changes in the situation in the Huangji Palace, it was originally just a conflict between the "Zhao Party" and the "Zhou Party", but the "Shen Party" and the "Prince Party" also got involved for their own reasons, and in the blink of an eye it turned into Both the chief minister Shen Changmao and Emperor Deqing, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, were a little stunned by the chaos among the major factions in the DPRK. It was no longer possible to control the situation!
Shen Changmao, in particular, felt that he had been wronged. Although he resented the "Zhou Party" for ruining Zhao Zhenghe's chance to join the cabinet, he had long been used to being suppressed by Zhou Shangjing and had no idea of revenge against the "Zhou Party". But now in Under the leadership of Lin Wei, the performance of the "Shen Party" was out of his control and began to confront the "Zhou Party". When thinking of the future revenge and counterattack of the "Zhou Party", Shen Changmao felt inexplicably shocked. chaos.
However, now, as more and more "Shen Party" officials are involved in this conflict, Shen Changmao is also unable to escape.
After all, if Shen Changmao, as the leader of the "Shen Party", acts as a coward again when the "Shen Party" people are in conflict with the "Zhou Party", then Shen Changmao's reputation in the "Shen Party" will be completely destroyed. .
Seeing that the situation was out of his control, Emperor Deqing felt anxious and finally stopped waiting to see what would happen.
"quiet!"
Emperor Deqing suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his hand, looked furious and shouted loudly!
ps: I have never given up on the idea of this book. It’s just that Chongzi’s thinking is a little confused now and his state is a little sluggish. Please try to cheer up! There will still be an update tomorrow!
