At this time, all the officials were worried, because the cabinet has always been a representative body of ministerial power. If Emperor Deqing were to intervene in the cabinet and hold the crucial appointment power, it would mean a great increase in imperial power and The power of ministers was greatly weakened.
Emperor Deqing himself was an emperor with a relatively strong style, and he never paid much attention to the feelings of the officials. If Emperor Deqing's power was further enhanced, then the life of the officials would be even more difficult.
Unfortunately, the matter has come to this, and the Special Jane is a foregone conclusion, which can never be undone. The officials have no choice but to turn their attention to the cabinet candidate list - after all, according to Emperor Deqing, he will come based on the recommendations of the officials. A list is drawn up from which the cabinet ministers will ultimately be selected.
Although all the officials knew very well that Emperor Deqing's rhetoric was just a way to cover his eyes. After all, Liang Fuchen, the trilateral governor of the "Imperial Party", would definitely be on this recommendation list. In the end, Deqing The emperor would also favor Liang Fuchen into the cabinet and take the opportunity to intervene in cabinet affairs through Liang Fuchen, but this recommendation list was the only comfort in the hearts of the officials.
In addition, Emperor Deqing announced that there would be at least two ministers joining the cabinet this time. This situation also made many officials who thought they were qualified have their own ideas and were considering the cabinet candidate list.

Just as the officials accepted the facts and began to seriously consider the candidate list, Zhao Junchen was thinking about another thing.
Zhao Junchen is an egoist, and he cares more about his own interests. Because of this, Zhao Junchen noticed some details that the officials did not notice.
That is, as many things in the court this morning have settled, the relationship between Emperor Deqing and Prince Zhu Heyu has begun to ease!
Originally, although Emperor Deqing and Prince Zhu Heyu were called father and son, their relationship was not harmonious. Emperor Deqing disliked Prince Zhu Heyu's stubbornness and recklessness, and was also jealous of Prince Zhu Heyu's virtuous reputation. Zhu Heyu believed that Emperor Deqing did not distinguish between right and wrong, sheltered evildoers, and harmed the Ming Dynasty passed down by his ancestors.
Therefore, although the two are both father and son as well as monarch and minister, they are always at odds with each other. They have opposite political views, different positions, and very different personalities. They often have disputes. It has been a long time since they have had close communication, especially In recent years, unless necessary, Emperor Deqing would never summon Prince Zhu Heyu to talk alone. When Prince Zhu Heyu met Emperor Deqing, he always acted businesslike, without seeing the father and son at all. The family affection between.
Although Emperor Deqing had already considered Zhu Heyu, and would help the prince Zhu Heyu from time to time, it was only for the sake of the inheritance of the country. Although the prince Zhu Heyu was loyal to Emperor Deqing, it was only for the sake of the inheritance of the country. Just abide by the way of being a son and a minister.
In front of Emperor Deqing, Prince Zhu Heyu was a model minister, loyal and dedicated to the public! In front of Prince Zhu Heyu, Emperor Deqing was also a model emperor, sheltered from wind and rain, and sheltered... But there was absolutely no father-son affection between the two.
Zhao Junchen does not think that this kind of relationship will last long, because the two of them have different perspectives on the problem. They both think that they are simply giving without getting anything in return. As time goes by, they will inevitably get tired of it. By then, they will be father and son. It's time for the two of them to make a complete break.
But today, as Prince Zhu Heyu took the initiative to help Emperor Deqing obtain the appointment power of the cabinet, the situation has changed subtly.
At the end of the morning court, Emperor Deqing suddenly summoned Prince Zhu Heyu to the imperial study for a talk - this had not happened for a long time.
In addition, when Emperor Deqing summoned Prince Zhu Heyu, his expression was gentle and his eyes were pleased. He was obviously extremely satisfied with Prince Zhu Heyu's performance in court this morning. He thought that Prince Zhu Heyu had finally matured, and his expression was finally satisfactory. He looked more like his father.
Under such circumstances, as long as Prince Zhu Heyu is not a fool and is willing to show due filial piety and humility in front of Emperor Deqing, then it is inevitable that the relationship between the two will ease!
After all, the two are father and son, and as long as they give in to each other, the relationship will soon ease.
Although Prince Zhu Heyu is stubborn and reckless, he is by no means a fool, and the aide behind him, Zhao Shancai, is even less of a fool.
Therefore, the relationship between Emperor Deqing and Prince Zhu Heyu will tend to ease, and the relationship between the "Emperor Party" and the "Prince Party" will gradually tend to cooperate!
This also means that the situation between North Korea and China will change further.
As a result, Zhao Junchen's future situation will further deteriorate!
"Emperor Deqing has always had the idea of killing me, and Prince Zhu and Yu even hated me for joining the shares. In the past, the relationship between the two of them was not harmonious, and I still have some room to display, but then... this Zhao Shancai, The more I got to know him, the more I realized that I had underestimated him! I didn't expect that he would take advantage of the vacancy in the cabinet to plot against Shen Changmao, and he would also take the opportunity to help Prince Zhu Heyu to please Emperor Deqing and restore their relationship. In this way, As the relationship between Emperor Deqing and the prince has tended to ease, Emperor Deqing will also be more active in protecting the prince. And after Emperor Deqing has the ability to intervene in the cabinet, his ability to protect the prince has also been greatly enhanced, allowing the prince to retain his position as crown prince. It has become much more stable!... It's really amazing. The prince's already precarious situation was easily reversed by Zhao Shancai... This son is too threatening. Fortunately, there is also the existence of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, otherwise..."
Recalling the news about Zhao Shancai's sudden secret visit to Shen Changmao a few days ago, Zhao Junchen could naturally infer that Prince Zhu Heyu's various performances today, as well as Shen Changmao's stumble this time, were all secretly promoted by Zhao Shancai.
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen frowned and seriously considered his future direction.
At this time, a group of "Zhao Party" officials followed Zhao Junchen.
Like the officials, they were more concerned about the official selection of cabinet candidates at this time and wanted to ask Zhao Junchen for advice. However, seeing Zhao Junchen frowning and thinking seriously, they did not dare to disturb him and just kept quiet. Accompany.
Zhao Junchen was concentrating on his own affairs. It was not until he was about to get on the sedan chair to return home that he realized that everyone in the "Zhao Party" was looking at him eagerly behind him.
Seeing the appearance of everyone in the "Zhao Party", Zhao Junchen secretly sighed in his heart and thought: "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. The top priority is to escort Zuo Lanshan into the cabinet first..."
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen turned around and smiled gently at the "Zhao Party" people, put on a confident and confident expression again, and said: "This is not the place to talk. If you don't mind, please come to my house." How about we discuss it in detail? There was a storm in the morning today, and there will be many changes in the temple in the future, so we should make detailed plans!"
Seeing Zhao Junchen's performance, everyone in the "Zhao Party" thought that Zhao Junchen had already made a plan in his mind, and they all believed in it!
Zhao Junchen has shown all kinds of tricks and mental skills in recent years, which is almost unfavorable. He has already convinced them and gave them great trust. Therefore, after Zhao Junchen made a decision, they all felt that their future was bright!
So, after everyone in the "Zhao Party" received the order, they left one after another, got on their sedans, and followed Zhao Junchen towards the Zhao Mansion!

At the same time, the elder Zhou Shangjing also left the Forbidden City silently, preparing to return home in a sedan chair.
However, Zhou Shangjing's silent performance made everyone in the "Zhou Party" behind Zhou Shangjing anxious.
You must know that Zhou Shangjing is the most powerful minister in the court and a representative figure of today's ministerial power. Over the years, he has firmly controlled the cabinet. Now seeing that Emperor Deqing is about to intervene in the cabinet, everyone in the "Zhou Party" naturally has deep feelings in their hearts. Eager, just want to find a way to reverse the situation as soon as possible.
After all, once the cabinet is interfered with by Emperor Deqing, it means that Zhou Shangjing's power will decline a lot, which also means that the "Zhou Party" will decline. By then, everyone in the "Zhou Party" will naturally not benefit.
It's a pity that Zhou Shangjing still acted unhurriedly, without any urgency at all. He just left the Forbidden City without saying a word and prepared to return home in a sedan chair. Naturally, the mood of the "Zhou Party" became even more anxious.
Seeing Zhou Shangjing sitting in the sedan and about to leave, Song Qiwen, the official minister, finally couldn't help but stepped forward and stopped the sedan. He bent down and asked Zhou Shangjing in the sedan: "Mr. Ge, what happened in court this morning, do you think?" Should we come to your house to discuss it in detail?"
Zhou Shangjing still looked troubled, but he just raised his eyes and asked Song Qiwen: "I know what you are worried about... But don't worry, although His Majesty's methods are brilliant, he can't change people's hearts after all... So we won't lose anything... Since ancient times, Since then, have you seen anyone rebel against you? No matter who it is, no matter how loyal it is to Your Majesty, once he enters the cabinet, his position will quietly change... If your colleagues are worried, you can put my If you tell them these words, they will naturally understand..."
After saying that, Zhou Shangjing sat back in the sedan chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he wanted to rest quietly.
Zhou Shangjing is getting older and his energy is at his lowest. Today's morning session was too long and there were too many things to do, which made him a little tired.
Seeing Zhou Shangjing's behavior, Song Qiwen did not dare to disturb him anymore and quickly stepped aside to let the Zhou family's sedan bearers carry the sedan away.
At the same time, thinking of Zhou Shangjing's words, Song Qiwen was thoughtful and vaguely understood something.
