Hearing the news that Zuo Lanshan asked to see Zhao Junchen, Chen Dongxiang did not move on the surface, but the corners of his eyes secretly looked at the changes in Zhao Junchen's expression, hoping to see some clues. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since being "tamed" by Zhao Junchen, Chen Dongxiang has completely accepted his fate, and soon changed his mentality and began to regard himself as Zhao Junchen's minions.

Therefore, he was eager to show himself in front of Zhao Junchen, naturally he wanted to know Zhao Junchen's opinion on Zuo Lanshan, whether he was afraid of suppression, or co-opting.

As the so-called "no two days in the sky", although Zuo Lanshan's influence and control within the "Zhao Party" cannot be compared with Zhao Junchen, his apparent identity is much more than Zhao Junchen after all, and the possibility of replacing him still exists.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Junchen's attitude towards Zuo Lanshan is possible, whether it is jealous and suppressed, or co-opted and bribed.

After the end of the dynasty this morning, although Zhao Junchen had secretly beaten Zuo Lanshan by using his means, these performances alone could not make Chen Dongxiang completely understand Zhao Junchen's true attitude.

And Zhao Junchen's true attitude is directly related to Chen Dongxiang's attitude towards Zuo Lanshan in the future.

In addition, according to Zhao Junchen's different attitudes, Chen Dongxiang was also able to take the opportunity to spy on Zhao Junchen's temperament and open-mindedness.

It's a pity that under Chen Dongxiang's secret prying eyes, Zhao Junchen still looks unfathomable and deep in the city, and after hearing Zuo Lanshan's request to see, he just had a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was considering some issues.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Junchen nodded at Xu Qingyan and said, "Please come in." ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen stood up and walked towards the living room in person, as if he was planning to lower his rank to greet him - Zuo Lanshan is now a noble status after all, and Zhao Junchen does not intend to deliberately ignore some due etiquette, otherwise it will not only attract criticism, but also appear to be too arrogant, prompting Zuo Lanshan to further centrifuge.

However, it was only a matter of demotion to greet him, and Zhao Junchen did not personally go out of the palace to greet him - although this was the proper etiquette - but if he did so, he would also send out some wrong information and mess up the priorities of the "Zhao Party".

Seeing that Zhao Junchen did not reveal the slightest inner thoughts, Chen Dongxiang was inevitably a little disappointed, but he was also more in awe of Zhao Junchen's scheming city, and finally restrained his inner desire to perform, in line with the principle of "don't do well", just followed Zhao Junchen to the door of the living room, and stood behind Zhao Junchen with his hands bowed, his attitude can be described as extremely humble, and he did not hide his intention to be completely tamed by Zhao Junchen.

Soon, Xu Qingyan had already led Zuo Lanshan to the outside of the living room.

Seeing Zhao Junchen greet him in person, Zuo Lanshan was quite flattered, and hurriedly walked to Zhao Junchen's side, and said, "Lord Zhao is waiting in the living room, why do you want to greet him in person?" That's so kind. ”

Zuo Lanshan has not yet gotten used to his status as a pavilion elder, and after seeing Zhao Junchen, he still unconsciously feels that he is going to be a head shorter.

Zhao Junchen's smile was flat, and he said: "Zuo Ge Lao's status is now noble, and it is rude not to go out of the mansion to greet him in person......"

After speaking, Zhao Junchen didn't seem to plan to continue to dwell on this issue, but just turned sideways and said, "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

Zuo Lanshan nodded hurriedly, and was about to follow Zhao Junchen into the living room.

Then, Zuo Lanshan suddenly saw Chen Dongxiang behind Zhao Junchen, and also noticed Chen Dongxiang's humble attitude towards Zhao Junchen.

Such an attitude surprised Zuo Lanshan's heart.

As Chen Dongxiang's old boss, Zuo Lanshan knows Chen Dongxiang's temperament best, this person is not only arrogant and arrogant, never takes anyone in his eyes, and has a cold heart, let alone anyone in his heart, such a person is the most difficult to subdue - at least, Zuo Lanshan, as Chen Dongxiang's top boss, has been trying his best to subdue Chen Dongxiang over the years, but he has never succeeded.

But now, looking at Chen Dongxiang's humble appearance towards Zhao Junchen, he is obviously completely tamed by Zhao Junchen.

For a while, Zuo Lanshan became more and more in awe of Zhao Junchen's methods, and once again put himself in the right position, so he naturally didn't dare to have the idea of fighting with Zhao Junchen.

Just when Zuo Lanshan's mood was fluctuating, the three of them had already returned to the living room of the Zhao Mansion and sat down separately.

After the Zhao Mansion served Zuo Lanshan fragrant tea, Zhao Junchen first took a sip of the tea, and then asked slowly in a casual tone: "Elder Zuo Ge has just entered the cabinet, so he can ask His Majesty to specially summon a conversation, and I am afraid that in the future, the saint will gradually rise, but I don't know...... Your Majesty, when he summoned Elder Zuo Ge, what did he talk about? ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen go straight to the topic, Zuo Lanshan was secretly shocked in his heart.

After all, the content of the conversation between Emperor Deqing and Zuo Lanshan was still a little sensitive.

But after hesitating for a moment, Zuo Lanshan still didn't hide anything, and relayed all the contents of Emperor Deqing's speeches, including Emperor Deqing's inquiry about the successor of the Ministry of Works, and Emperor Deqing's faint hint that he checked and balanced Zhao Junchen.

After getting Zuo Lanshan's answer, Zhao Junchen's complexion did not change at all, it was still as plain as water, and he just nodded and said: "Your Majesty's instructions are not much different from my conjecture, but they are also the proper meaning of the question, after you enter the cabinet, you should indeed have some of your own opinions, and you must not follow the trend and follow the ......."

Zuo Lanshan was shocked again, and hurriedly said: "It is natural to have an opinion, but I will not ignore the opinions of my colleagues in the DPRK and China!" Especially Lord Zhao, you have always been wise and thoughtful, but in the future, the affairs of the cabinet must be more and more advisers to Lord Zhao. ”

Seeing Zuo Lanshan so eagerly showing his loyalty, Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile, but he didn't continue to entangle, just turned his head to look at Chen Dongxiang and said: "Lord Chen, Elder Zuo Ge nominated you to take over the Ministry of Industry in front of His Majesty, so that your chances of serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry have greatly increased, don't you want to thank Elder Zuo Ge for his kindness?" ”

At this time, Chen Dongxiang, after hearing Zuo Lanshan's speech, although he had already been mentally prepared, he was still ecstatic, and after hearing Zhao Junchen's reminder, he quickly stood up and bowed to Zuo Lanshan and thanked him: "Thank you for the grace of Zuo Ge Lao!" ”

However, although Chen Dongxiang solemnly thanked him, he did not express any intention of repaying Zuo Lanshan, but after thanking Zuo Lanshan, Chen Dongxiang turned to Zhao Junchen and bowed to Zhao Junchen and said: "Of course, the lower officials also want to thank Lord Zhao for your kindness, if it is not for Lord Zhao's strategic planning, if the lower officials want to take over the manual department, it must be a slim chance, please rest assured that if the lower officials can successfully take over the manual department, the Ministry of Industry will definitely look forward to Lord Zhao in the future!" ”

Similar assurances, Chen Dongxiang had repeatedly said to Zhao Junchen before Zuo Lanshan appeared, and now the old words are recalled, in addition to showing loyalty again, but also deliberately showing Zuo Lanshan.

Chen Dongxiang's attitude towards the two was different, Zuo Lanshan naturally felt it obviously, and he felt a little bitter in his heart, obviously he was the elder of the pavilion, but the sense of restraint in the cage became more and more obvious.

However, Zuo Lanshan didn't dare to show it at all, just tried his best to maintain a smile on his face and looked at everything in front of him.

On the other side, after Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, he talked with Zuo Lanshan and Chen Dongxiang about some future plans of the "Zhao Party", especially the plan for Chen Dongxiang to smoothly take over the manual department, Zhao Junchen used a lot of thought.

After all, even with the support of Emperor Deqing, there are still several other cabinet elders in the court, and if these cabinet elders deliberately obstruct it, it is not so easy for Chen Dongxiang to smoothly take over the Ministry of Labor.

When talking about the attitudes of several pavilion elders, Zhao Junchen seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head to Zuo Lanshan and said: "Speaking of which, the attitude of our Lord Shoufu, Zuo Pavilion Elder can help find out the wind tonight." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zuo Lanshan was a little puzzled and asked, "Tonight?" ”

Zhao Junchen still looked flat, so that people couldn't see any thoughts, and nodded: "Speaking of which, Zuo Ge Lao came to me directly after leaving the palace, and he hasn't had time to return to the house yet, I'm afraid I don't know yet, right?" As soon as the early dynasty ended, our Shen Shoufu sent someone to send a famous post to your mansion and asked you to meet tonight! ”
