After the dust settled on Su Changzhen's matter, this tumultuous morning court finally came to an end. ??Want to read?Bookswbookw?w·1·com
It was approaching noon, and both Emperor Deqing and the officials in the court felt hungry and exhausted.
Zhao Junchen also felt tired, but when he left the Meridian Gate and got into the sedan chair, his face still looked thoughtful.
During today's court meeting, although Zhao Junchen remained low-key and silent most of the time, seemingly inconspicuous, the development direction of the court meeting has always been under Zhao Junchen's control, whether Chen Dongxiang took over Zhao Junchen single-handedly promoted the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry and Huang Yourong's appointment as imperial envoy to Nanzhili, and they were all the most beneficial results for Zhao Junchen and the "Zhao Party".
The only thing that surprised Zhao Junchen was that Emperor Deqing took the opportunity to recall Wang Baoren to the capital before the end of the court meeting.
Speaking of which, Emperor Deqing had planned to recall Wang Baoren to the capital a long time ago. This person's scheming, means, reputation, etc. were all better than those of Shen Changmao, Huang Yourong and others. He was once one of Zhou Shangjing's strong enemies. After the failure of the party struggle, He was exiled to Nanjing to retire, but Wang Baoren was not willing to retire. Instead, he used the Japanese pirates incident to work with Emperor Deqing to plot against Zhou Shangjing. However, in the end, Zhou Shangjing still came out ahead, even though he lost his position as the chief minister of the cabinet. , but it also forced Emperor Deqing to make concessions. Therefore, in order to temporarily appease Zhou Shangjing, Emperor Deqing allowed Wang Baoren to stay in Nanzhili for the time being, and did not let him return to Beijing immediately to take over the position of Crown Prince and Grand Master.
But this time, taking advantage of Su Changzhen's incident, Emperor Deqing recalled Wang Baoren back to the capital. ??Want to read??books?
In addition, Emperor Deqing successfully allowed Liang Fuchen to join the cabinet to assist the government. It can be predicted that when the two of them go to Beijing one after another, the situation in the temple center will definitely change greatly, and Emperor Deqing's control over the court will also increase unprecedentedly. .
"His Majesty seems to be very happy with his success, but in fact he is not easy to mess with. His power and scheming skills are as good as anyone in ancient and modern times. Now he has successively recalled Wang Baoren and Liang Fuchen to the capital. Liang Fuchen was originally a die-hard imperialist, so naturally he The horse follows the horse's lead, and Wang Baoren has left the capital for more than ten years. When he returns to the capital again in the future, he will definitely hug Emperor Deqing's thigh tightly in order to stabilize his feet. In this way, Emperor Deqing will have two people in the temple. With the full support of the heavyweight courtiers, by that time I am afraid even Zhou Shangjing will have to avoid the edge, right?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but feel a little stressed, and continued to think: "Emperor Deqing didn't seem to have made any big moves during this period of time, but he just took advantage of the situation and quietly took control of the overall situation again. Such scheming methods are really It's terrible. No wonder Zhou Shangjing backed down again after he gained the upper hand... That is to say, he has always underestimated me and thought that I was just a corrupt official with nothing but making money, so he tolerated my development to this point, but I If you despise him because of this and think that he is a troublesome emperor, the consequences may not be good in the future..."
"However, why did Emperor Deqing choose to recall Wang Baoren to the capital at this time? Did he want to support Wang Baoren to check and balance the power of the temple after seeing Huang Yourong's downfall and Shen Changmao's weakness? Or did he still have expectations for Prince Zhu He and plan to let him Wang Baoren assists and teaches?"
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly, somewhat confused about Emperor Deqing's true thoughts.
The emperor's mind is unpredictable. Even though Zhao Junchen has grown a lot now, he is still looking at things in the fog and has no idea.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhao Junchen stopped thinking about it. After all, Zhao Junchen's power has increased greatly now, and he is no longer as weak as before. He already has the ability to wait and see what happens and strike later. Although he can't guess the virtue. Emperor Qing's true intention, but don't panic too much, just take advantage of it when the time comes.
Then, Zhao Junchen began to think about Su Changzhen's impeachment.
"Su Changzhen will be impeached. I'm afraid it was the seventh prince Zhu Hejian who secretly instigated it. He did this to force me to marry Chen Zhirong as my wife...perhaps he thought that I would covet Su Changzhen's powerful connections and eventually marry Su Xiuning. As a wife, that’s why I took such a step to take money from the bottom of the cauldron. If Su Changzhen collapsed and lost power, then I would naturally not choose Su Xiuning... Unfortunately, he did not expect that I did not intend to choose Su Xiuning as my wife from the beginning. As the head wife, rather than increasing my power and connections, I would rather improve my reputation in the government and the opposition, so my final candidate for the head wife is Cui Qianxue..."
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen suddenly felt a slight shock!
Because of Emperor Deqing's personal matchmaking, Zhao Junchen could only choose Cui Qianxue, Su Xiuning, and Chen Zhirong as his main wife. The seventh prince Zhu Hejian has now taken action to defeat Su Changjin, making Su Xiuning lose the threat. As for Cui Qianxue He was kicked out of the Cui family a long time ago under Chen Zhirong's calculations. It seems that Zhu Hejian would not regard Cui Qianxue as a threat.
But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If after Zhu Hejian defeated Su Changzhen, in order to prevent changes from happening, he took action against Cui Qianxue again, then Zhao Junchen would suffer the loss of being dumb.
So, after thinking of this, Zhao Junchen immediately opened the sedan curtain and told Xu Qingyan who was next to the sedan: "Qingyan, you immediately send someone to secretly protect Cui Qianxue to ensure that she will not be harmed. However, although it is protection, but Remember to be hidden and don’t let anyone discover your traces.”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Xu Qingyan was slightly startled and asked, "Is there someone who wants to deal with Miss Cui Qianxue?"
"Not necessarily, maybe I'm just overthinking it, but it's better to be safe."
After getting Zhao Junchen's reply, Xu Qingyan looked a little serious. Because Cui Qianxue risked his life to save Zhao Junchen, and he has a simple temper, Xu Qingyan said to her good sense: "Don't worry, young master, I will arrange for people to secretly protect Miss Cui Qianxue after I go back." , will never let her suffer any harm.”
Zhao Junchen nodded, then thought of something, and ordered again: "Also, send someone to inform Gu Quan, the censor of Zuo Qiandu, and ask him to come to the house to see me as soon as possible. I have something to arrange for him to do."
After receiving Xu Qingyan's response, Zhao Junchen lowered the sedan curtain and sat back in the sedan with his eyes closed and meditating.
Gu Quan was summoned because of Su Changzhen's affairs. Zhao Junchen planned to let Gu Quan join the imperial envoy team to assist Huang Yourong in dealing with Su Changzhen's affairs, and also took the opportunity to gain some benefits for himself.
In addition, letting Gu Quan go to Nanzhili can also help Zhao Junchen secretly take care of Su Xiuning.
Zhao Junchen still has a good impression of Su Xiuning. Now that Su Changzhen is about to collapse and lose power, Su Xiuning, a lady of the family, will inevitably be implicated and may even be humiliated. After all, Zhao Junchen can't bear it, so he decides to take care of her secretly. Second, by preventing Su Xiuning from being wronged too much, it can be considered as a contribution to the fate between the two.
