Emperor Deqing has been in power for many years, and he has already profoundly understood a truth, that is, many plans that seem foolproof are actually executed is another matter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now, although Zhao Junchen's plan is a bit shady and despicable, it seems that the probability of success is very high, but whether the final result of this plan is as expected, Emperor Deqing is not sure.

Therefore, Emperor Deqing frowned slightly and said, "Zhao Aiqing's plan is indeed a bit ...... It's unconventional, but it sounds like a viable solution. However, I have some doubts in my heart. ”

Zhao Junchen didn't expect that he would be able to convince Emperor Deqing with a rhetoric, and he had already prepared for the doubts in Emperor Deqing's heart, and after hearing Emperor Deqing's words, he immediately asked: "Please also ask Your Majesty for advice." ”

Emperor Deqing said slowly: "There is no problem with the first step of this plan, whether it is to implement the charges of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, or to purge the Nanjing officialdom and remove the officials of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, it is not a difficult matter; The second step of this plan is not a big problem, and sending some bad officials to serve as the Sixth Department of Nanjing may attract some criticism, but as long as our monarchs and ministers can take the same position, it is not a difficult matter; The third step in the plan is not a problem, most of the officials who served as the sixth department of Nanjing have no foresight, I am afraid that they do not need the central court to secretly push them, and they will be in chaos themselves...... As for the last step in the plan, it is not a difficult matter, but the imperial court has stepped forward in time to quell the people's grievances......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Deqing's eyes fell on Zhao Junchen and continued: "But I am a little worried about this fourth step of intensification, which seems to be a little inappropriate. ”

Emperor Deqing's character has always sought stability, so Zhao Junchen quickly figured out Emperor Deqing's concerns and asked, "Your Majesty is worried about the conflict between the Sixth Department of Nanjing and the people of Jiangnan?" ”

Emperor Deqing nodded lightly and said: "Provoking the contradiction between the six departments of Nanjing and the people of Jiangnan, or even directly causing a conflict, the risk of this matter is too great, if you are not careful, this conflict will get out of control, and maybe it will cause a large-scale civil uprising, and at that time, the entire situation in Jiangnan will be out of control." ”

After a pause, Emperor Deqing said: "What's more, I and several pavilion elders are worried about the matter of the capital's central government taking over the power of the six departments in Nanjing, and they were originally worried that it would cause turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River!" But according to Zhao Aiqing's plan, it was to deliberately create a series of turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River in order to take power from the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing, which seems to be putting the cart before the horse. ”

After hearing Emperor Deqing's words, Pavilion Elder Cheng Yuandao hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty Shengming! Lao Chen also thinks the same way! If it is for the purpose of centralizing power, then the imperial court will only calculate the six departments of Nanjing, but if it still wants to use innocent people, it is a loss of the style of the Holy Dynasty, once this kind of thing is known, I am afraid it will damage the people's hearts! In addition, as His Majesty said, once the contradiction between the six departments of Nanjing and the people of Jiangnan is provoked, maybe the matter will become more and more intense, the imperial court and the southern Zhili are thousands of miles apart, and may not be able to control the situation, if it causes a large-scale civil uprising, I am afraid that the whole country will be in chaos! ”

In fact, Cheng Yuandao has some doubts about the matter of the imperial court center's takeover of power from the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, because he himself is a Jiangnan clan and is also from the Jiangnan Gongyuan, so it can be said that he has also received the favor of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, so although he will not explicitly oppose the matter of the Beijing Center's takeover of power from the Nanjing Sixth Ministry, if there are some risks in the process, he will definitely jump out and oppose it.

However, Zhao Junchen didn't care too much about Cheng Yuandao's thoughts, but just said to Emperor Deqing: "Your Majesty, although according to the minister's plan, there will also be some turmoil in Jiangnan, but after all, it is a little different, if the imperial court directly takes power from the six departments of Nanjing, then the rebound and turmoil in Jiangnan is directly aimed at the center of the imperial court, and the imperial court is passive; If it is according to the minister's plan, this turmoil in Jiangnan is aimed at the six departments of Nanjing, and it will not have much impact on the center of the imperial court, as long as you pay close attention to the development of the situation and secretly guide the direction of the situation, the imperial court can control it at any time! ”

Seeing that Emperor Deqing had a contemplative look on his face, but was still a little hesitant, Zhao Junchen said again: "In addition, if Your Majesty is really not at ease, you can also add two guarantees to this plan to prevent accidents." ”

Emperor Deqing was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh? What are the two benefits? ”

Zhao Junchen replied: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that after Su Changyi was convicted, the position of Governor of Nanzhili was still vacant? Now that Huang Ge Lao has just finished the affairs of the Qin Mission, Your Majesty, you might as well make a decree to let Huang Ge Lao take over the position of governor of Nanzhili, Huang Ge Lao is an old man, and his ability and experience are sufficient, with him sitting in Nanzhili, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River will not be too chaotic. In addition, although Lord Cao Wenbin, the head of the household department in Nanjing, is in Nanjing, he has always been focused on the center of the capital, but he can also be reused; In this way, with the mutual cooperation of Huang Ge Lao and Lord Cao, one inside and one outside, one bright and one dark, it is enough to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan in the early stage. ”

Emperor Deqing was slightly stunned, and then thoughtful, and said slowly: "Oh? Huang Yourong, Cao Wenbin...... These two guarantees are not bad......"

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, according to the minister's assumption, the two of Huang Ge Lao and Master Cao together are just a guarantee!" ”

Emperor Deqing was stunned again and asked, "The two of them are just a guarantee?" And what is the second guarantee? ”

Since talking about the matter of Nanjing Sixth Division, Zhao Junchen has always been full of solemnity.

But at this time, after hearing Emperor Deqing's question, Zhao Junchen suddenly put on a respectful expression, turned around and arched his hand to the pavilion elder Zhou Shangjing, and then said: "The second guarantee of the minister is Zhou Shangjing Zhou Pavilion Elder Zhou Ge!" If you follow the plan of the minister, you can roughly grasp the specific time of the conflict between the six departments of Nanjing and the people of Jiangnan, and the imperial court before this conflict, you can find a reason to arrange for Zhou Ge Lao to go to Henan to inspect, the south of Henan is close to Nanzhili, the road is also very convenient, after Zhou Ge Lao arrives there, he can control the movement of Jiangnan in time, once the Nanjing Six Department and the people of Jiangnan have a conflict, you can rush to Nanjing to control the situation as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of this, the look of admiration on Zhao Junchen's face became more and more intense, and he complimented Zhou Shangjing: "In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, it is necessary to use Zhou Ge Lao's means to be the highest, the most capable, and the most experienced, if this plan can be presided over by Zhou Ge Lao himself, it will naturally be foolproof, is Your Majesty still worried that the situation will get out of control?" ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's suggestion, Emperor Deqing was really moved!

Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing have been fighting in secret for a lifetime, and they know best how strong Zhou Shangjing's ability and means are! On weekdays, it is true that he is full of fear of Zhou Shangjing, but if the two sides work together, it is undoubtedly the most reassuring to hand over the matter to Zhou Shangjing.

In addition, according to Zhao Junchen's suggestion, when this plan begins, Zhou Shangjing will have to leave the center of the capital for at least two or three months, which can be said to be a transfer of the tiger from the mountain, but during this time, it is enough for Emperor Deqing to do many things that he can't do on weekdays.

On the other side, after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Zhou Shangjing's old face changed slightly!

According to the original plan formulated by Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing, there was no Zhou Shangjing going to Nanzhili to sit in this item!

This time, in order to deal with the Nanjing Sixth Department and the Eight Kings Boat Company, Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen can be said to have cooperated seamlessly, but these two are both deep people in the city, and while working together, they are also secretly calculating each other.

Zhou Shangjing's performance today is a little low-key, although he teamed up with Zhao Junchen to act in a play, but did not give Zhao Junchen enough support, just let Zhao Junchen play alone, and pushed all this sinister and vicious strategy to Zhao Junchen alone, so that in the future, even if the plan is successful, Zhao Junchen will leave an image of a conspirator in the heart of Emperor Deqing, and Emperor Deqing will inevitably further guard against Zhao Junchen because of today's events in the future!

But Zhao Junchen is not a vegetarian, seeing that Zhou Shangjing gave up the stage to himself to perform, he temporarily added another improvisation, and suggested to Emperor Deqing that Zhou Shangjing personally go to Nanzhili to take charge of the situation, so that not only Zhou Shangjing will bear the main responsibility once the plan fails, but also can also transfer the tiger away from the mountain, in the two or three months after Zhou Shangjing left Beijing, Zhao Junchen can also take the opportunity to strive for greater development space!

However, except for Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing, no one knew about the secret battle between the two, and the "Zhou Party" and the "Zhao Party" only thought that these things were part of Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing's plan, but they did not react much.

On the other side, after Emperor Deqing pondered for a long time, he finally came back to his senses, and glanced at Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing respectively, his eyes were a little meaningful.

Emperor Deqing had already faintly discovered signs of Zhao Junchen's cooperation with Zhou Shangjing.

After all, the secret son of Cao Wenbin, the servant of Nanjing's household department, is obviously prepared by Zhao Junchen a long time ago; The new candidate proposed by Zhao Junchen for the six Shangshu of Nanjing is obviously the handiwork of Zhou Shangjing, and only Zhou Shangjing, who is most familiar with the situation of the hundred officials in the imperial court, can conceive it.

Thinking of all the things that happened in Nan Zhili during this time, as well as the various performances of Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing today, it is obvious that these two have secretly cooperated.

However, if it was just to deal with the Sixth Department of Nanjing, Emperor Deqing did not mind that Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing would work together.

In fact, if the authority of the six departments in Nanjing can be recovered, then Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing will gain the most, so Emperor Deqing also understands the reason for the cooperation between the two.

So, Emperor Deqing finally made up his mind in his heart and said: "If this is the case, this plan is much safer." ”

Then, Emperor Deqing turned his head to look at Zhou Shangjing again and asked, "So, for the sake of the overall situation of the imperial court, is Elder Zhou Ge willing to share the worries of the imperial court?" ”
