Chapter 339. Far-reaching planning (II).
……
……
From ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad, between the change of dynasties and the change of the throne, there are many emperors who are diligent and love the people who eventually become the kings of the country, and there are also many emperors who play and neglect to create the world of peace, similar situations are not uncommon, and there are several related examples in the Ming Dynasty alone.
It can be seen that the emperor's sanctity and deafness do not affect the general trend of the world in many cases.
Why?
There are many reasons, there are situational reasons, there are historical reasons, but more often than not, it is man-made!
After all, the emperor is only an emperor, although he is high, but he is also a loner, and his policies, ideas, and concepts can only be realized with the assistance of his courtiers.
No matter how holy the emperor is, if the officials under his command are all corpses and vegetarians, then the good government that should benefit the people will eventually become a bad government that will bring disaster to the country and the people!
In the same way, no matter how stupid the emperor is, if he is assisted by good ministers, then the evil government that troubles the country will eventually become the good government of Ze and the people!
After all, in many cases, the courtiers are more important than the emperor, and the people who carry out the policy are also more important than the policy itself!
Therefore, Zhao Junchen never minds offering advice to Emperor Deqing, whenever Emperor Deqing encounters difficulties, Zhao Junchen will always try his best to put forward some "good policies" and "good policies", these "good policies" and "good policies" seem to be completely considered by Emperor Deqing, and many of them will even damage Zhao Junchen's own interests, but Zhao Junchen never worries!
Because, no matter what kind of "good policy" and "good policy", Emperor Deqing needs hundreds of officials to help him implement it after all. Then these "good policies" and "good policies" will only backfire in the end.
And this possibility. It was exactly the opportunity that Zhao Junchen needed!
In Zhao Junchen's view, Emperor Deqing was not a fool. Although there will be some embarrassing situations occasionally, as long as Emperor Deqing thinks about it, he will eventually think of a way to solve it, in this case, why didn't Zhao Junchen propose his own method to Emperor Deqing before Emperor Deqing came up with a solution? In this way, you can not only win the favor and trust of Emperor Deqing, but also control the future shape in your own hands!
In fact, the crown prince Zhu and Yu have always been hostile to Zhao Junchen, and Emperor Deqing only raised Zhao Junchen as a "fat pig". It can be said that the contradiction between Zhao Junchen and the "imperial power" cannot be reconciled at all, but Emperor Deqing has never really doubted Zhao Junchen's position, although there will be occasional preventive measures, but it is just the emperor's balancing technique. For the most part, Emperor Deqing regarded Zhao Junchen as a hardcore cronie, why? It is because Zhao Junchen will put himself in the shoes of Emperor Deqing every time, whenever Emperor Deqing encounters a predicament, Zhao Junchen will help Emperor Deqing think of solutions, even if these methods will harm Zhao Junchen's own interests. Zhao Junchen never hesitated, so Emperor Deqing naturally thought that Zhao Junchen was "tame".
But in reality?
At the beginning, the crown prince Zhu and Yu wanted to get the errand to prepare for the southern tour. So Zhao Junchen did his best to formulate a seemingly "flawless" preparatory plan for the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but secretly united with Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong and other central cabinet elders, as well as local officials in various parts of the southern tour, and constantly secretly made evil. However, it made the crown prince Zhu and Yu mess up the errand, and caused the prestige of the prince Zhu and Yu to be greatly damaged.
And then. Emperor Deqing wanted to recover the prestige loss of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but Zhao Junchen still contributed his efforts. helped Prince Zhu and Yu get the errand of trying and handling the "Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case", and also formulated a seemingly beautiful strategy, but secretly added fuel to the fire, and finally not only made Prince Zhu and Yu offend many forces, but also let Prince Zhu and Yu handle many unjust cases like Li Xin's embezzlement case, it is foreseeable that Prince Zhu and Yu's troubles have just begun.
This is Zhao Junchen's strategy, on the one hand, he proposed to Emperor Deqing plans that seemed to be beneficial to the imperial family but not to himself, and on the other hand, during the implementation of these plans, he sought benefits in the cracks, and whether he could achieve his own goals through these plans in the end depended on Zhao Junchen's own means!
So far, Zhao Junchen has done well, under Zhao Junchen's strategy, the trust of Emperor Deqing is still undiminished, but the prestige of the crown prince Zhu Heyu has been constantly lost.
And this time, Zhao Junchen also has the same strategy, on the one hand, he proposed to Emperor Deqing a strategy that seems to be beneficial to the imperial power and the imperial family, but on the other hand, Zhao Junchen still has his own goals, and he will still secretly make evil, and finally reverse the shape in a completely different direction.
It's just that this time, Zhao Junchen's goal is not only the reputation of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but also the prestige of Emperor Deqing himself!
In fact, after Zhao Junchen left the temporary palace of Emperor Deqing and returned to his residence, he began to prepare for the next step.
This time, Zhao Junchen's follow-up plan is not complicated, but he is just preparing to reveal Emperor Deqing's thoughts through public opinion and rumors.
It is foreseeable that whether Emperor Deqing framed a well-known Qing official for the prestige of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, or Emperor Deqing was ready to condemn "the unknown origin of huge amounts of property" as a crime in order to expand his imperial power, once these things are revealed, they will inevitably cause an uproar in the court!
At that time, not only will the prestige of Emperor Deqing and the crown prince Zhu Heyu be lost, but Emperor Deqing will probably make some concessions to the hundred officials in order to calm the chaos in the court.
However, how to leak these news and not let Emperor Deqing doubt himself made Zhao Junchen think a lot.
Eventually, Zhao Junchen decided to leak the news to some "princeling" officials, and to publicize it through the mouths of the "princelings" officials, who were not strict enough to keep any secrets.
Moreover, today's Ministry of Rites Lang Bao Wenjie is very dissatisfied with Emperor Deqing's decision, and even expressed these dissatisfaction on his face, after Zhao Junchen revealed these things to the "princeling" officials, Bao Wenjie is a natural candidate for the black pot, and Emperor Deqing will not doubt Zhao Junchen's position at that time.
After making up his mind, Zhao Junchen began to write a letter to the capital, explaining his plans to Fang Ru in detail, and Zhao Junchen believed that Fang Ru would definitely handle this matter properly.
And just after Zhao Junchen finished writing the letter, Xu Qingyan suddenly pushed the door in and reported to Zhao Junchen: "Young Master, Chen Zhirong Miss Chen asks to see you." ”
