……

Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao's meeting can be described as a very happy and smooth conversation.

It is rumored that when Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao left Shangxian Building, they not only smiled, but even walked hand in hand, looking intimate, as if they had completely forgotten the unpleasantness of the past.

Obviously, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, the two elders, have formed an alliance.

This is normal, for mature politicians like Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests.

But in any case, this is a big event that will shake the government and the opposition!

…………

When Xichang passed the news to Zhao Junchen, it was already afternoon Shenshi, and Zhao Junchen also returned to the mansion and was in the guest hall of the Zhao Mansion, discussing matters with Chen Dongxiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, who secretly visited him.

After hearing the report of Xichang Fanzi, Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "It seems that Huang Ge Lao is not small in his determination this time!" Although he and Shen Ge Lao are in a similar situation and have the basis for forming an alliance, the interests of the two of them sometimes conflict, and some time ago they were fighting over the errand of staying in Beijing to assist the government, and now even if both sides have the intention of forming an alliance, there are many prerequisites to discuss...... But the alliance was reached so quickly, and I think it was Huang Ge Lao who gave up a lot of benefits......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's expression flashed with a hint of admiration, and said: "Elder Huang Ge will have such courage and decisiveness this time, which is quite different from the previous calculations, but I underestimated him in the past. Therefore, setbacks and crises are sometimes not a bad thing, and today's Huang Ge Lao is an example. In the past, he had long been accustomed to His Majesty's protection and Zhou Fu's forbearance, and it has not been smooth sailing over the years. But it is also a rare setback, and I have long forgotten the cruelty and insidiousness of the party struggle, so this time I will be passive between the battles with us; But now after encountering setbacks and crises, not only did they not crush him and frighten him. On the contrary, it stimulated his fighting spirit and courage, if he had such a mind and courage from the beginning, I am afraid that he may not be able to fight him, but it's a pity...... It's still a little late after all......"

After learning the news of the alliance between Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, Zhao Junchen not only did not have any worries, but also commented on Huang Yourong's changes with great interest. After seeing this scene, Chen Dongxiang next to him couldn't help but be stunned.

Now, the party struggle between Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong has long been an endless situation. Although because of Emperor Deqing's upcoming southern tour, the war will stop for a while, but after all, it has already been concluded. After Emperor Deqing finished his southern tour, the struggle between the two factions would only become more and more fierce and cruel.

And between the battles between the two factions, although Huang Yourong is temporarily at a disadvantage, after all, he is not without the strength to fight back, and now he has formed an alliance with another pavilion elder, Shen Changmao, which can be said to be twice his strength, how can he easily deal with it? Maybe. Next, as long as you are not careful, Zhao Junchen's party will turn from victory to defeat and fall short!

Therefore, although Zhao Junchen didn't care about the news of Huang Yourong's alliance with Shen Changmao, Chen Dongxiang was worried.

So, Chen Dongxiang cautiously reminded: "Lord Zhao, although Shen Changmao's power is slightly inferior to Huang Yourong, it is definitely not to be underestimated, and now that he has formed an alliance with Huang Yourong, it can be described as a double pressure for us!" Especially these two people, one is vicious, the other is ruthless. If it's just one of them, we still have a way to deal with it, but if the two join forces, they will complement each other and their shortcomings will be difficult to find, so according to the lower officials. We should be careful and take precautions. ”

Seeing Chen Dongxiang's worried look, Zhao Junchen smiled again, waved his hand, and said: "You don't have to worry about these, although the alliance between Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao is somewhat unexpected, but it will not disrupt my next plan, as long as my next plan can be carried out smoothly, then Huang Yourong will not say that he is in alliance with Shen Changmao, even if he is in alliance with Zhou Shangjing, it will inevitably fall and lose power...... The timing, just after the end of the southern tour, we just need to wait quietly. ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen was full of confidence, Chen Dongxiang hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe Zhao Junchen, after all, Zhao Junchen had repeatedly proved to him how terrible his scheming methods were.

So, Chen Dongxiang said respectfully: "Since you have already prepared, then the lower officials will be at ease, with your means Lord Zhao, even if Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao join forces, they will never be your opponent Lord Zhao." ”

As for the "plan" in Zhao Junchen's mouth, Chen Dongxiang couldn't help but be a little curious, and he didn't know what kind of plan it was that made Zhao Junchen so confident, but since Zhao Junchen didn't say it in detail, Chen Dongxiang naturally didn't dare to ask.

…………

Zhao Junchen smiled lightly, but diverted the topic and asked, "Don't talk about Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, let's talk about you first." You came to see me this time, but what happened? Could it be that after Huang Yourong suffered a loss this morning, he began to suspect that your secret defection this time was just a counter-plot? ”

Chen Dongxiang nodded and said in a deep voice: "My lord is clever, the intention of the lower officials is exactly like this. After the morning court today, Huo Zhengyuan, a university scholar, suddenly made an appointment to meet with Xia Guan, although he did not say it explicitly, but the tentative meaning was very obvious. Thinking about everything that came up this morning, it already made them begin to doubt the true intentions of the lower officials to take refuge in them. It's just that because the list and incriminating evidence given to them by the lower officials really cost us a lot, so they are only suspicious now, and they are not sure of anything. ”

While speaking, Chen Dongxiang hesitated for a moment, and then asked Zhao Junchen again: "It's just that after this incident, I think that Huang Yourong and their intentions are cautious, and they will never trust the lower officials again." Therefore, please also ask your Excellency to instruct, is the lower official simply having a showdown with them, and from then on continue to work for your lordship in an open and honest manner? In the past few days, the lower officials have been between the two factions, and they have not dared to speak casually, which is really aggrieved. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Junchen shook his head and ordered: "Since you haven't shown your flaws yet, then let's continue to stay over there first, I let you pretend to take refuge in Huang Yourong and them, not just to bring down Yan Pengfei and Liu Quan'an, these two people are not worth my big fight, your real purpose this time is to try to get closer to Huang Yourong's disciples, and when Huang Yourong falls in the future, we can take over Huang Yourong's forces and friends first."

Next, it doesn't matter how much Huang Yourong and they suspect you, you don't need to find out the news, just try to have a good relationship with Huang Yourong's friends, after all, the list and incriminating evidence you gave them before really played a role, no matter how suspicious they are, they can't blatantly exclude you.

Of course, I also know that now you are still my person on the surface, but under my instruction, you secretly took refuge in Huang Yourong, and you are between the two factions, which is the most embarrassing, but bear with me for the time being, as I just said, after your majesty's southern tour, your task will be over. At that time, I will naturally give you something in return. ”

Seeing Chen Dongxiang nodding in agreement, Zhao Junchen thought for a while and said: "In addition, His Majesty is about to tour the south, originally I put you in the list of officials who accompany you, but now the times have changed, and the shape is very different from the beginning, so it is better for you to continue to stay in the capital at that time, and I will use you for other things." ”

Chen Dongxiang hurriedly said: "Please also ask your lord to tell me that the lower officials will definitely live up to their mission." ”

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "Your specific task, I am not convenient to talk about it now, but during His Majesty's southern tour, there will be many things in the capital, and when the time comes, I will send someone to send you a secret letter, you just need to follow the instructions on the secret letter, I think you can naturally understand my deep meaning when the time comes." ”

Listening to Zhao Junchen's instructions, it seemed to be related to the "plan" vaguely revealed before, which made Chen Dongxiang feel more and more that Zhao Junchen was unfathomable, and he also dared not slack off, and hurriedly agreed.

And just when Zhao Junchen was talking to Chen Dongxiang, Xu Qingyan suddenly appeared outside the door of the guest hall and reported to Zhao Junchen: "Young Master, someone has come to the palace, saying that it is Your Majesty, Young Master Xuan, you have entered the palace to discuss matters." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seeing that Zhao Junchen was summoned by Emperor Deqing, and seeing that Zhao Junchen had no other instructions, Chen Dongxiang naturally hurriedly left.

After Zhao Junchen changed his official uniform, he went out of the gate of Zhao's mansion and also saw the envoy from the palace, but it was Zhang Xiu, the eunuch of the Yangxin Palace.

Now Zhao Junchen has a good relationship with the inner court, and he is even more familiar with Zhang Xiu, so after a few polite words to each other, Zhao Junchen asked directly: "Father-in-law Zhang Xiu, but I don't know what happened when His Majesty suddenly summoned the official to meet him?" ”

Zhang Xiu knew that Zhao Junchen didn't want to go to Emperor Deqing unprepared, so he asked him for news.

If it is ordinary, for the purpose of currying favor, there is no need for Zhao Junchen to speak, Zhang Xiu will take the initiative to reveal, anyway, Zhao Junchen has always been generous, and he will never treat him badly.

However, this time, Zhang Xiu couldn't do anything, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Zhao, the reason why His Majesty summoned you this time, our family doesn't know, we only know that His Majesty suddenly made this will after reviewing the excerpts, and didn't reveal too much, but it shouldn't be a trivial matter, because Your Majesty is not just summoning you, but now Lord Fu Zhou, Huang Yourong Huang Ge Lao, Shen Changmao Shen Ge Lao, Cheng Yuandao Cheng Ge Lao, and the six Shangshu have all been summoned. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded thoughtfully, although Zhang Xiu didn't know more information, but the details he revealed were enough for Zhao Junchen to guess a lot.
