In Shangxian Building, while Zhao Junchen was tasting all kinds of delicacies, he didn't know that an event that would affect his life in some ways was inadvertently born.
…………
In the palace, in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Emperor Deqing was dealing with court affairs, but between his expressions, he was a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about other things.
Today's situation in the government and the opposition is relatively stable, and the things that can affect the hearts of Emperor Deqing, in addition to the matter of the crown prince Zhu and Yu leaving Beijing to handle the case, there is only the fierce party struggle between the two major factions of Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong in the court.
And what Emperor Deqing is thinking about now is also the party struggle between Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong!
Zhao Junchen's hands control the three major yamen of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the West Factory, and Huang Yourong is one of the cabinet elders in the court, all of whom are important figures in the court, and this party struggle between the two will inevitably bring great changes to the situation in the government and the opposition, so not only Emperor Deqing is paying attention, but now all the people with a heart between the government and the opposition are paying close attention and dare not miss any changes during the period.
But Emperor Deqing's angle of attention to this matter is different from that of others.
Emperor Deqing paid more attention to the changes in Zhao Junchen during this time.
Speaking of which, since Zhao Junchen returned to the capital after going to Lu'an Mansion for disaster relief, there have been so many changes before and after, even Emperor Deqing felt incredible.
And this change can be said to be both good and bad.
On the good side, Zhao Junchen is more capable of doing things, and he is more able to figure out the mind of Emperor Deqing, under the auspices of Zhao Junchen, not only the household department and the inner treasury of the silver turnover is becoming more and more abundant. It greatly satisfied Emperor Deqing's great joy and luxury, and many things did not need Emperor Deqing to take the initiative, Zhao Junchen had already prepared in advance, so Emperor Deqing was naturally extremely satisfied.
But on the bad side. However, since Zhao Junchen has been in the past few years, many words and deeds and actions have often surprised Emperor Deqing, such as the suppression and counterattack of the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate a few days ago, and now he has taken the initiative to provoke a party dispute with Huang Yourong, although every time Zhao Junchen will have a lot of legitimate reasons to persuade Emperor Deqing. But it still gave Emperor Deqing a feeling that it was not easy to control.
Therefore, for today's Zhao Junchen, Emperor Deqing's mood is quite complicated, that is, he feels that he is more inseparable from Zhao Junchen, and at the same time he begins to guard against Zhao Junchen more and more.
…………
However, this time Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong have a party dispute. It was able to gain the upper hand, which surprised many people, but also made Emperor Deqing understand many things - that is, unconsciously, although Zhao Junchen is not yet a cabinet elder, he has a powerful influence in the government and the opposition. But he is no less than an old man in the court.
After accepting such a reality, Emperor Deqing felt that Zhao Junchen was gradually out of his control, but he felt that it was somewhat acceptable.
After all, even if it is an emperor, it is impossible to completely control a court elder.
In fact, the attitude of the emperors towards their courtiers also changed with the change of the status of the courtiers.
For the court officials below the elder, Emperor Deqing can not care about their thoughts, he can forcibly control their words and deeds, and he can call them and abandon them like a man.
But those elders in the court who have a solid foundation and are full of people all over the world. But it is by no means comparable to ordinary courtiers, and he already has the confidence to bargain with the emperor, so while Emperor Deqing tries to control them, he also needs to envelop them as much as possible.
And now Zhao Junchen obviously has a powerful influence comparable to that of the elders of the court. But it made Emperor Deqing feel that his attitude towards Zhao Junchen also needed to change.
After all, today's Emperor Deqing is still inseparable from Zhao Junchen, and if he wants to continue to control Zhao Junchen, if he just blindly forcibly asks for it, it will only cause Zhao Junchen's dissatisfaction, but he also needs to give Zhao Junchen more sweetness, so that Zhao Junchen can continue to serve Emperor Deqing willingly!
It's just that how to envelop Zhao Junchen and how to give Zhao Junchen sweetness made Emperor Deqing a little nerve-wracking.
After all, Zhao Junchen is now young, he is already the head of the household department, the supervisor of the West Factory, and is also in charge of the internal transportation warehouse, if he is given what kind of authority, I am afraid that it will only attract the dissatisfaction of the government and the opposition, but it is not very suitable.
And if you add some false titles to Zhao Junchen, not to mention that Zhao Junchen's qualifications and prestige are too shallow, and it is not enough to enter the knighthood, and those false titles are only virtual after all, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve the effect of enveloping.
In this way, without thinking of an effective way, Emperor Deqing couldn't help but feel a little nerve-wracking, and subconsciously frowned slightly.
And just when Emperor Deqing was thinking about it, a fold at hand suddenly attracted the attention of Emperor Deqing.
This is Chang Hong, the daughter of Zheng Guogong Chang Wei, who plans to marry Zhang Mu, the son of Zhang Dai, the Duke of Ningguo, so Zheng Guogong and Ning Guogong jointly played and asked Emperor Deqing to give him an excerpt for marriage.
Zheng Guogong and Ning Guogong, although they are also considered to be generations of nobles, but in recent generations, there have been no outstanding figures, and their influence among the government and the opposition has gradually faded, so for the marriage of these two families, Emperor Deqing did not care, and he approved it casually just now.
It's just that this excerpt of asking Emperor Deqing for marriage provided Emperor Deqing with a way to show favor to Zhao Junchen!
That is, to give marriage to Zhao Junchen!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After thinking of a way, Emperor Deqing couldn't help but perk up, turned his head to the big eunuch Zhang De beside him and asked, "Speaking of which, how old is Zhao Junchen now?" ”
Hearing Emperor Deqing's inquiry, Zhang De naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to His Majesty, Zhao Shangshu is extremely talented, and he has the love of His Majesty, although he is already a second-grade Shangshu in the court, but he is young, and his real age seems to be only twenty or four years old. ”
Between the words, Zhang De secretly glanced at Emperor Deqing, and wondered why Emperor Deqing suddenly asked this question.
"He's twenty-four years old...... This day flies so fast, I remember that when he entered the court, he was not yet twenty years old, and now it has been four or five years......" Emperor Deqing nodded thoughtfully, and sighed slowly: "For the court officials, at the age of twenty-four, he became a member of the household department and the second rank of the court, although it is too young, but in terms of marriage, it is too late to be married at the age of twenty-four. ”
"What you said is that among the common people, there are many men who start families at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and as for the sons and daughters of the nobles in the court, although most of them are late, they will all marry wives and concubines before the age of twenty. And Zhao Shangshu has not married for a long time, and he doesn't even have a concubine, which is indeed a bit inappropriate. Zhang De echoed.
After thinking about it, Emperor Deqing asked again: "Then Zhao Aiqing, which family is he engaged to?" ”
Having said this, Zhang De had vaguely understood what Emperor Deqing meant, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as far as the old slave knows, Zhao Shangshu has not been engaged to anyone, but I don't know which young lady will have such a blessing to marry a young talent like Zhao Shangshu." ”
"That's ......," Emperor Deqing nodded slowly.
…………
In fact, both Emperor Deqing and the eunuch Zhang De knew the reason why Zhao Junchen was unable to start a family for a long time, but at this time, they didn't say it clearly.
In this era, men marry women, marriage and marriage, the most important thing is to pay attention to the four words "the right person", and although Zhao Junchen is not from a good background, after all, he became a second-class member of the imperial court at a young age, and he won the favor of Emperor Deqing, as if he has a bright future, so between the government and the opposition, the people who are qualified to marry Zhao Junchen are only those generations of nobles of the Ming Dynasty, as well as some powerful ministers in the temple.
However, Zhao Junchen's reputation among the government and the opposition is really too bad, and the hostile relationship with the crown prince Zhu and Yu is well known, and those who are qualified to marry Zhao Junchen, and the principals in the family are all clear-eyed people, so they can naturally see that although Zhao Junchen is now beautiful, but in the future, when the prince Zhu and Yu ascend the throne, I am afraid that it will be when Zhao Junchen is killed.
Therefore, these wealthy families who are qualified to marry Zhao Junchen, in order to avoid being implicated in the future, naturally will not marry Zhao Junchen for temporary benefits.
In this way, it also caused an embarrassing situation in which Zhao Junchen was powerful in the court, but he was unable to marry for a long time - qualified wealthy families were unwilling to marry him, and small families who were willing to marry Zhao Junchen were often not qualified.
Therefore, although Zhao Junchen is now twenty-four years old, he has already reached the age of marriageability in this era, but he still has not married for a long time, which is also a temple miracle.
…………
On the other side, thinking about the reasons why Zhao Junchen was unable to get married, Emperor Deqing pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "Yes, Zhao Aiqing is not young anymore, although he himself is not in a hurry, but after all, he is an important minister in the court, and I am a little anxious for him." Now there are many noble families in the court, and there are also many women of the right age, Zhang De, you go and send a list for me, if you can take the opportunity to promote a good marriage, it is also a wonderful thing. ”
Zhang De said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, you are planning to marry Zhao Shangshu, such a great honor, I think that after Zhao Shangshu knows, he will definitely be grateful to you." ”
Emperor Deqing smiled and said, "This is nature. ”
That being said, Emperor Deqing's eyes showed a look of deep thought.
Which meritorious family to find to marry Zhao Junchen, that is, to make Zhao Junchen feel the favor of the emperor and not increase Zhao Junchen's power influence too much, but then it also needs to be carefully selected by Emperor Deqing.
is different from the previous marriage between Zheng Guogong and Ning Guogong, but this matter must be carefully considered.
