After Zhang Decheng directly rejected the prince Zhu Heyu, the prince Zhu Heyu felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he had lost face in front of Zhao Junchen. Under Zhao Junchen's smiling eyes, Zhu Heyu felt uncomfortable all over, so He left quickly.
However, when leaving in a hurry, Prince Zhu Heyu did not notice that Zhao Junchen did not leave with him this time, but found a reason to stay in the Cui Mansion.
At the same time, the world only thought that Zhao Junchen came to Cui Mansion this time to compete with Prince Zhu Heyu for Zhang Decheng's ownership, and most of their attention was focused on Prince Zhu Heyu and Zhang Decheng. Not many people noticed Zhao Junchen I had a secret conversation with Cui Mian for a while afterwards.
Even if some thoughtful people noticed this keenly, their attention was quickly diverted by another more important thing.
That is, the candidate for the cabinet replacement, which has caused many turmoils, attracted the attention of the government and the public, and caused long-term debate among officials in the government and the government, is finally settled.
Because of the sudden rise of Prince Zhu Heyu, Emperor Deqing took the initiative in appointing cabinet ministers and changed the appointment method of cabinet ministers from "Ting Tui" to "Special Slip". All officials could only ask Deqing The emperor would write a memorial indicating the candidate he supported, and then Emperor Deqing would decide on the final candidate to replace the cabinet from among the most recommended ministers.
On this day, all the major factions tried their best to win over and lobby all parties, building momentum and canvassing votes for their supporters. During this period, they either made promises, or solicited, or traded, or coerced, and each used their magical powers to create a lively atmosphere.
In this way, everyone was attracted by this incident and ignored the fact that Zhao Junchen and Cui Mian took the opportunity to meet and talk secretly.
But in fact, the impact of this incident is extremely far-reaching.
Although, on the surface, this incident did not change anything at all. Cui Mian still stayed away from Zhao Junchen afterwards. Cui Qianxue was kicked out of the Cui Mansion by Cui Mian again after Cui Qianxue fully recovered. Everything returned to the original state, but in fact Few people noticed that it was after this secret conversation that Zhao Junchen's reputation and image among Qingliu and scholars began to gradually change.
Before this, although Zhao Junchen had been working to reverse his reputation, he mainly targeted the common people. Although it was gradually effective, it did not have much impact. After all, in this era, the right to speak is always in the hands of the people. Pure water and the hands of scholars.
However, from this day on, Zhao Junchen began to infiltrate and control Qingliu and Scholars!
Of course, Zhao Junchen's reputation was too bad in the past, and the Qingliu people were always known for their stubbornness. It was completely impossible to completely change his image in a short period of time, but this change still happened little by little, at least. The Qingliu people began to admit that although Zhao Junchen was a corrupt official, he was at least a capable corrupt official. The court's financial situation had improved a lot because of Zhao Junchen, but they were not as stubborn as before in thinking that Zhao Junchen was useless.
At the same time, when the Qingliu people recognized Zhao Junchen's merits and achievements, their attitude towards Zhao Junchen gradually and quietly changed.
Of course, these are all things for later, let’s not mention them for now.
But he said that after Zhao Junchen left the Cui Mansion, he had always looked thoughtful. He was just constantly considering and improving his plan to infiltrate Qingliu, but he did not pay too much attention to the replacement candidates for the cabinet.
Because Zhao Junchen really knew Emperor Deqing too well. After Emperor Deqing got the appointment power of the cabinet, Zhao Junchen was able to guess the subsequent changes.
Although some of these changes are not what Zhao Junchen expected to see, since they are destined to happen, Zhao Junchen will no longer waste energy and mind. Zhao Junchen is a very realistic person. Under normal circumstances, you will just go with the flow and strive for the greatest benefit for yourself.
In fact, Emperor Deqing's final reaction did not exceed Zhao Junchen's expectations!
In the early morning of the next day, all the officials came to the Huangji Hall to attend the morning court.
According to Emperor Deqing, he would decide on the new cabinet ministers on this day, so all the officials were extremely concerned and did not dare to miss any subtle changes.
After all, once the cabinet changes, the entire court structure will also change, which is related to everyone's interests.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Deqing arrived at Huangji Hall, and the morning dynasty officially began.
After all the officials shouted "Long live", there was silence in the main hall. No ministers went to Zhezi to ask for a holy judgment, and no officials reported government affairs to Emperor Deqing. The major factions also temporarily stopped attacking each other, even the "Princeling Party" "Officials are not as impatient as in the past to impeach a certain minister. All officials are quietly waiting for Emperor Deqing to announce the new cabinet ministers.
Obviously, Emperor Deqing enjoyed the feeling of being noticed by hundreds of officials and controlling the fate of others. Therefore, while the officials were waiting quietly, Emperor Deqing did not announce his decision immediately. Instead, he looked around in silence at the hundreds of officials in the hall. The official's expression was full of imperial majesty.
When the officials gradually became impatient, Emperor Deqing finally spoke slowly: "Yesterday morning, I decided to change the appointment of ministers in the cabinet from 'Ting Tui' to 'Special Jane', but I will not Acting arbitrarily, the officials still have the right to recommend. I will only decide the final new cabinet minister from the candidate who has been recommended the most by the officials! As of last night, I have received 113 memorials, and I am qualified to recommend them. The ministers of the cabinet and assistant ministers all expressed their opinions in the memorials. I dare not ignore them. I have read all these memorials overnight. I now know the attitudes and positions of the ministers."
At this point, Emperor Deqing paused for a moment and then said: "While I was reading the memorial, I did a little calculation and found that most of the candidates recommended by the officials were concentrated on three ministers, namely Liang Fuchen, the governor of the three sides, and the university governor. Shi Li He, and Minister of Industry Zuo Lanshan. These three ministers are all pillars of the country, and their merits and prestige are sufficient. I think whoever enters the cabinet will be able to convince the public!"
As Emperor Deqing finished speaking, the eyes of all the officials in the hall focused on Li He, the bachelor, and Zuo Lanshan, minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Today, Liang Fuchen, the governor-general of the three sides, has not returned to Beijing, but Li He, the academician, and Zuo Lanshan, minister of the Ministry of Industry, are both on the list. Both of them are likely to enter the cabinet and become one of the decision-makers of the temple from then on. Naturally, they are influenced by All officials are paying attention.
Under the attention of hundreds of officials, Bachelor Li He lowered his head and waited quietly. No one could see the changes in his expression, but he had learned 70% to 80% of Zhou Shangjing's elegance and low-keyness.
On the other side, Zuo Lanshan's city was slightly worse. At this time, his body was trembling slightly, and his face was even flushed with excitement. Anyone could see his complicated mood of anxiety and expectation.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, but Emperor Deqing had a flash of amusement in his eyes.

ps: Recently, the official drama taking place in the United States and South Korea has really made the world stunned! By the way, if the current events in the United States and South Korea were written into a novel, such a plot would probably make most readers scold the author for being mentally retarded and lacking common sense, right? All we can say is that reality is often more magical than fiction! Although novels are inspired by life, they are not necessarily higher than life.
