Chapter 665. Friend or foe.

……

Among several people, Zhao Junchen is the head of the household, Chen Dongxiang is the head of the Ministry of Works, and Zuo Lanshan is the cabinet assistant, all of whom are going to the imperial study to face the saint, if Huo Zhengyuan, the newcomer of the "Zhao Party", is not mentioned, among several "Zhao Party" old men, only Zhan Shanchang is just a household servant, and he has not been summoned by Emperor Deqing.

Therefore, after hearing the summons of the eunuch Zhang Xiu, Zhan Shanchang's expression was faintly embarrassed, and a trace of complicated and incomprehensible emotions flashed in his eyes.

Then, Zhan Shanchang bowed his hand to Zhao Junchen and the others: "Your Majesty, he suddenly summoned the cabinet elders and the six Shangshu, I'm afraid there is something important, don't delay, go to the imperial study as soon as possible, and the lower officials and Huo Daxue will leave the palace first." ”

Zhao Junchen was thinking about Emperor Deqing's intention to summon everyone, and did not notice the subtle changes in Zhan Shanchang's expression, but after nodding, he took the lead in the direction of the imperial study, and Zuo Lanshan and Chen Dongxiang also nodded to Zhan Shanchang and hurriedly followed.

However, Huo Zhengyuan noticed the change in Zhan Shanchang's expression, and just glanced at Zhan Shanchang meaningfully, but he didn't say anything, and quickly returned to his usual look, and walked towards the noon gate with Zhan Shanchang.

In the distance, a group of "Zhou Party" officials also dispersed, leaving only Zhou Shangjing, Li He, Song Qiwen, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhang Bochong, the secretary of the criminal department.

Under the leadership of Zhou Shangjing, several core figures of the "Zhou Party" did not walk directly in the direction of the imperial study, but walked in the direction of Zhao Junchen.

After noticing the direction of the "Zhou Party", Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned at first, but soon understood Zhou Shangjing's thoughts, but stopped and waited for the arrival of Zhou Shangjing and others.

Soon, Zhou Shangjing and others had already come to Zhao Junchen's side.

Then, the two sides stepped forward again, walking in the direction of the imperial study.

Among them, Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing walked side by side in front, including Li He and Zuo Lanshan, the two elders, and the rest of them consciously followed behind the two.

Zhao Junchen, as the head of the household, actually walked side by side with the pavilion elder Zhou Shangjing, and also walked in front of the other two pavilion elders and the three scholars, which seemed to be a little out of order, but no one felt that it was inappropriate, Zhao Junchen's current power position has reached such a level.

As he was taking a step, Zhou Shangjing opened his mouth and asked, "Does Junchen know why Your Majesty suddenly summoned the cabinet and the six ministries?" Looking at this posture, it seems that something big has happened. ”

On top of the temple, there is a process for handling things, and according to the importance of the matter, the way of handling it is also very different!

Generally speaking, many seemingly trivial matters can be resolved only after the cabinet votes and the emperor approves the red, and when there are more controversial matters, they need to be raised at the court meeting and discussed by hundreds of officials; However, if it is an important matter that is crucial, has a long-term impact, and is extremely controversial, the emperor will convene several core and important ministers in the temple to discuss first, and after consultation and ventilation, the matter will be reported to the hundred officials, which is also to prevent the controversy from being too big and affecting the stability of the temple.

Now, when Emperor Deqing suddenly summoned the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu, it was natural that something of great importance had happened and would cause great controversy.

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "Zhou Ge Lao has always been a perceptive and omniscient person, so why should he ask knowingly now? Huang Yourong's matter in Nanzhili has already come to an end, calculate the time, his recital should also be delivered to the capital in these two days, and now the overall situation in the temple is quite stable, and only those things in Nanzhili can make His Majesty pay so much attention to it, and specially summon us to discuss. ”

Zhou Shangjing nodded and said: "I think the same way, it seems that after we have laid out for a long time, all kinds of things in Nanzhili are finally about to surface, I am afraid it will cause an uproar in the temple." ”

Zhao Junchen still had a calm and calm expression, and said: "Only by letting these things surface, can we take action to solve it!" If these things have been hidden deep underwater, then we will not be able to do it! Those things in Nan Zhili may cause some confusion and controversy, but this is also an essential process, Zhou Ge and the younger generations have laid out for so long and invested so much energy, and now they should also reap the results. ”

Zhao Junchen's remarks seemed to be talking about the affairs of Nanzhili, but they seemed to mean something, faintly hinting at the matter of agricultural reform.

Zhou Shangjing didn't seem to understand Zhao Junchen's hints, but a pair of old eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Yes, Nanjing Liubu and Eight Kings Boat Travel...... These things should be solved once and for all! ”

After hearing the conversation between Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen, several core figures of the two parties behind the two of them all had expressions of perk, and there was some faint excitement!

Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen teamed up to deal with the Nanjing Sixth Department and the Eight Kings Ship Company, most of them had already known the news in advance, and they also knew very well that once the Nanjing Sixth Department and the Eight Kings Boat Company were resolved, what a huge reward they could reap!

Although it takes a lot of effort and a certain amount of risk, compared to those great rewards, everything is worth looking forward to!

Therefore, whether it is the "Zhao Party" or the "Zhou Party", seeing that Nan Zhili's matter is about to surface, they are all a little impatient and eager to do a big job!

Then, on the way to the imperial study, Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing also further reached a tacit understanding, and also formulated some detailed strategies.

Although, Zhou Shangjing only made a calculation of Zhao Junchen yesterday, Zhao Junchen is also full of precautions against Zhou Shangjing, as Zhao Junchen's power influence is getting bigger and bigger, conflicts and contradictions between the two factions have gradually emerged, and these contradictions and conflicts will further escalate sooner or later, after all, there is so much power in the temple, and now there is already a powerful Zhou Shangjing, but he can't tolerate the appearance of a second Zhou Shangjing, not to mention that Zhao Junchen's ambition is not just to become the second Zhou Shangjing......

But now, Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing have a common position, and they can be regarded as happy cooperation.

The two of them have roughly the same mind - hostility is hostility, cooperation is cooperation, there is no permanent friend or foe in the officialdom, and there is no complete friend or foe, they will not show mercy when it is time for a conflict, but after having common interests, they can also leave the past behind without hesitation and drink and talk!

It's just that with Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing reaching a tacit understanding, Nanjing Liubu and Bawang Boat Line will be unlucky!
