As Zhou Shangjing's words fell, Huang Yourong and Shen Yaowei both frowned, and Qi Qi turned their gaze to Zhao Junchen. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)

As mentioned above, in the eyes of Shen and Huang, in this banquet, Zhao Junchen was just a participant, not a decider, but because of the silence of everyone before and Zhou Shangjing's inquiry, there was a trend around Zhao Junchen between the topic discussions.

Regarding the changes in the gods of Shen and Huang, Zhao Junchen naturally saw it in his eyes, and chuckled: "There are three seniors here, these issues are naturally not the turn of the juniors to decide, the juniors are not qualified yet, it is all up to the three seniors to decide, as long as the interests of the juniors are not damaged, what should be done next, the juniors will fully cooperate."

After a pause, Zhao Junchen changed his words and said: "However, the juniors see that the three seniors are hiding and pinching, and they don't plan to speak first, and then I'm afraid that they won't say it directly. If you make a mistake, please give me a lot of advice. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zhou Shangjing looked Zhao Junchen up and down, and nodded with interest, and after Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong glanced at each other, they did not object.

"During His Majesty's southern tour, the prince stayed in Beijing and Zhenguo, but how the prince is a person, we all understand that if the prince is allowed to do what he does at that time, whether it is the three seniors or the juniors, I am afraid that they will be in trouble. In the past, although we fought each other in the temple, but during His Majesty's southern tour, the idea of suppressing the prince's party was the same, it was the same as the benefit, and the disadvantage of the division, the prince is now in the foreign dynasty after all, the foundation is still shallow, as long as we fully cooperate, the government affairs during the southern tour of His Majesty will inevitably be dominated by the auxiliary ministers who stayed in Beijing, and once the prince is emptied, the rest of us will have no worries when accompanying the southern tour. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao all nodded.

Zhao Junchen continued: "Therefore, although the auxiliary ministers who stayed in Beijing can make countless profits during His Majesty's southern tour, the juniors don't care about this, whether it is senior Shen or senior Huang, and how to choose, to tell the truth, it is not the turn of the juniors to intervene, and the juniors don't care about it." What the younger generation cares about is how to ensure that our respective rights and interests will not be damaged during His Majesty's southern tour, and how to suppress the prince's party from making trouble for us, whether it is Senior Shen or Senior Huang, as long as these can be guaranteed, then the younger generation will fully support it. If you can't guarantee this, and you only care about fighting for power for yourself, then you can't say that the younger generation can only interfere with it. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junchen turned his head to look at Zhou Shangjing, but saw Zhou Shangjing nodding slowly and said, "What Junchen said is reasonable, and the old man also means this." Since you are going to the banquet, you already understand that if the old man has just left Beijing with His Majesty, it will not be possible for the backyard to catch fire not long after. ”

Seeing Zhou Shangjing's statement, Huang Yourong smiled and nodded: "The concerns of Lord Shoufu and Junchen, I naturally understand that when His Majesty left Beijing in the past, it was always Lord Shoufu who was the assistant to Beijing, and what Lord Shoufu did in the first place, I have always seen it in my eyes, if I stay in Beijing as an assistant this time, I will naturally learn from it, and Xiao Gui Cao will follow, and I will never let the rights and interests of the three be damaged." ”

As soon as Huang Yourong's words fell, Shen Changmao already snorted coldly and said, "Really? Huang Ge Lao greedy for power, everyone here knows it deeply, if you stay in Beijing to assist the government, even if Lord Shoufu is not worried about the Ministry of Officials and Shuntian Mansion, and Junchen is not worried about the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, I am still worried that my little belongings will be targeted. What's more, over the years, the prince's party has been fighting openly and secretly with us, Huang Ge Lao, you have been shrinking back to pick up cheap, I don't believe it, if you stay in Beijing to assist the government, you will have the courage to tear face with the prince and them. ”

Hearing Shen Changmao say this, Huang Yourong smiled, turned his head to stare at Shen Changmao, and said, "When to fight and when not to fight, I can still understand these things." It's Shen Ge Lao, you, have always been the best at doing things over the years, and you have never shown mercy, and if you stay in Beijing to assist the government, I am also worried that you will be plotted. Besides, of course, I haven't competed with the prince's party in the past few years, but that's because there are always people who do this kind of thing, but do you really think I'll be afraid of the prince? ”

Without saying a word, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao had already started to attack each other, leaving no mercy.

And whether it was Zhao Junchen or Zhou Shangjing, they didn't pay attention to these, but just looked at Shen Changmao intentionally or unintentionally, and were silent.

Shen Changmao naturally noticed the gods of Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen, snorted lightly, and said in a cold voice: "If I stay in Beijing to assist the government, I will not touch the rights and interests of everyone here, on the prince's side, I have already torn face with him, and I will do my best to suppress it, and I will not let him make any moves." ”

After listening to Shen Changmao's assurance, Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing glanced at each other, and they both nodded lightly.

The two of them came here to the banquet in order to get similar guarantees from Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, although this kind of guarantee is only verbal, and the two may not abide by it, but if they say such a guarantee in front of everyone, they will never violate it at will.

And with such a guarantee, the purpose of Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing to come to the banquet has been achieved, and whether Huang Yourong or Shen Changmao will stay in Beijing to assist the government next, the two of them are not so concerned.

As Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing began to watch coldly, the battle between Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong also began to be fierce, either to benefit each other, or to compare with power, or to attack his shortcomings, or to promote his own strengths, for a while it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom, and no one could get rid of anyone.

In fact, Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong have their own advantages and disadvantages, even if it is Zhao Junchen, it is difficult to choose.

Shen Changmao xìngzi yīn cold and resolute, with the prince's strength and solemnity, by him to stay in Beijing to assist the government, under the conflict between each other, it will inevitably be a good show, between the two fights, the prince and his party are afraid that they will not be able to spare the energy to take care of others, but in this way, it will inevitably cause political instability, delay the business, and there will be chaos.

And Huang Yourong is a sleek and old-fashioned person, and if he stays in Beijing to assist the government, the situation between the government and the opposition can be more stable, but with his xìngzi, in the face of the prince's step-by-step pressure, he may not be able to cope with it.

In Zhao Junchen's view, Zhou Shangjing is afraid that he is inclined to Shen Changmao, and Shen Changmao stays in Beijing to assist the government, once the temple is unstable, he can shorten the itinerary of Emperor Deqing's southern tour, which is in line with Zhou Shangjing's interests, after all, Zhou Shangjing originally did not support Emperor Deqing's southern tour, Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong's forces are comparable, but now Shen Changmao has a slight upper hand, I think it is because Shen Changmao has the support of Zhou Shangjing.

And Emperor Deqing should be more optimistic about Huang Yourong, after all, Emperor Deqing attaches the most importance to the stability of the temple and the world, if Zhao Junchen expected it to be right, after seeing Huang Yourong at a disadvantage, Emperor Deqing will take action.

"Thinking about it this way, in the future, with Emperor Deqing's statement, I will have to favor Huang Yourong a little?"

Zhao Junchen thought secretly.

Gradually, the dishes were getting colder, but Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong still couldn't fight for a reason.

Seeing that there seemed to be no end to such a battle, Zhao Junchen shook his head secretly, although he knew that the purpose of this banquet was to negotiate, but he didn't think that he could really talk about anything, among Shen and Huang, who would stay in Beijing to assist the government, in the end, I am afraid that it will be necessary to go through a battle to come to a conclusion, not only the battle between the two of them, but also the battle between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen coughed lightly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he spoke: "A few days ago, the younger generation heard a new word, for 'seeking common ground while reserving differences' Now since the two seniors of Shen and Huang are still unable to fight for a result, then we might as well put aside the controversial places and talk about the things we need to cooperate with first." Hearing Zhao Junchen rashly interrupt the confrontation between himself and Huang Yourong, Shen Changmao frowned slightly and said, "I didn't know that there were other things to talk about at this banquet. ”

Although Shen Changmao had a bad attitude, Zhao Junchen was not angry, but said: "During Your Majesty's southern tour, with the gradual expansion of regulations, there will be more and more entourage, and we can't control the inner court of the harem, but the candidates of the previous dynasty, it seems that the younger generation needs to discuss it." ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong were both upright, but they suddenly found that compared with who will stay in Beijing to assist the government, the candidate for the southern tour of the DPRK and China is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

After all, the more people under his disciples who accompanied the southern tour, the weaker the power left in the capital would be, and his power and interests in the center of the temple would naturally not be guaranteed.

On the other side, Zhou Shangjing, who had been silent, nodded appreciatively at Zhao Junchen.

And Zhao Junchen continued: "According to the younger generation, Bao Wenjie, the left shì lang of the Ministry of Rites, is familiar with the etiquette system, shrewd and practiced, and he is indispensable for the escort during the southern tour. ”

Bao Wenjie, the most powerful cadre under the prince, if he accompanied the southern tour, the prince's strength in Beijing would naturally be weakened a lot.

And Huang Yourong nodded and smiled: "That's right, and the imperial envoy Lu Chunxiao, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, is well-read and strong-minded, has a wide range of knowledge, and is a person from the south of the Yangtze River. ”

The power of the prince's party in the foreign courts is now mainly concentrated in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the mainstay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is Lu Chunxiao.

Shen Changmao said slowly: "Cheng Yuandao, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, is also indispensable, His Majesty has valued him quite a lot in recent days, and he may not be the next candidate to enter the cabinet. ”

Cheng Yuandao, with Wen Guan Liang Zhishi returning to his hometown, now he has a high call to enter the cabinet, but the trouble is that he is the prince's person.

In this way, although Zhou Shangjing still had very few words, between the few words of Zhao Junchen, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, the capable generals under the prince's door were all inserted into the list of accompanying the southern tour. There are four people here, and they are not afraid of any big surprises on this list.

And when the crown prince was still grinding his fists for Emperor Deqing's next southern tour, he didn't know that his henchmen had been emptied by the corrupt officials he hated the most.

Next, Zhao Junchen said the names of several officials under his subordinates, such as Chen Dongxiang, who was regarded by Zhao Junchen as an unstable factor, and Zhou Shangjing, Shen Changmao, and Huang Yourong also inserted some of their own people into the list of southern tours. Although there are still a lot of vacancies left on this list in the end, it depends on the next plans of the four and the meaning of Emperor Deqing.

After the list was confirmed, perhaps because of mutual cooperation, the atmosphere between Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong became more harmonious, at least not as tense as before.

And at this moment, Zhou Shangjing, who had spoken the least before, suddenly spoke.

"It's rare that the four of us can get together, as Junchen said before, at this time, it is most necessary to seek common ground and seek differences, since Shen and Huang can't fight for a result, we might as well put this matter aside for the time being, let's not talk about it for the time being, and take the opportunity to say some things that we are concerned about so that we can discuss it together."

"Shousuke-sama, please."

Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao seemed to be a little unwilling, but since Zhou Shangjing had spoken, the two of them still said in unison with Zhao Junchen.

After Zhou Shangjing coughed lightly, he poured himself a cup of tea for himself slowly, and then said slowly: "The first thing, it is the matter of Chunqiu, the old man knows that you have always valued this test and the palace test the most, each has its own important candidates, their own juniors, the juniors under the door trust the relationship with the juniors who go to the door, these days I am afraid that I have asked for your disciples, but last year just came out of the three provinces of Qiufu fraud case, now it is the people's morale is unstable, but everyone here should be careful, to the world as the most important can not be rushed, Nor shall they tear each other down.

If there is news, you may wish to communicate with each other, and if you have something, you may wish to cooperate with each other, so that you can be stable. ”

Huang Yourong nodded with a smile and said: "I heard that Lord Shoufu, your little grandson Zhou Suwen is also going to participate in the Spring Festival Examination this year. ”

Zhou Shangjing didn't admit it, nor did he refute it, but just glanced at Zhao Junchen with a smile.

When Zhou Shangjing mentioned the words "too hasty" before, his tone was slightly heavy, but now he deliberately glanced at himself, Zhao Junchen knew that Zhou Shangjing was afraid that he had discovered Liu Zimian's actions in the past few days, and guessed Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and now this is a little beating.

The Spring Entrance Examination, as well as the subsequent palace examination, is the top priority of the imperial examinations in the past dynasties, and those who enter the list can become grassroots officials of the imperial court. But when the selection is made, it is mainly based on human factors, so where can we talk about real justice? The corrupt officials and powerful ministers in the court will naturally intervene and seek more or less benefits for themselves.

It's just how much food you can eat, and now Zhao Junchen is staring at the Spring Festival Exam with great ambition and great ambition, and has planted the nail of Liu Zigang to attract candidates who are interested in getting close to Zhao Junchen, but in Zhou Shangjing's eyes, he is a little too hasty.

For this, Zhao Junchen understood it, smiled at Zhou Shangjing, nodded his head, but did not guarantee anything.

Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Zhou Shangjing frowned slightly, and then said: "The second thing is the rectification of Sichuan salt affairs, although everyone here has benefited a lot from this matter, but over the years, the Hui merchants have always been respectful to us, and now because of the Sichuan salt reform, they are gradually dissatisfied with us. ”

Hearing Zhou Shangjing say this, everyone present was silent, but after a long time, Shen Changmao said: "At this point, let's first see what the wishes of the Hui merchants are, appeasement is necessary, but it is also not allowed to back down." Hui merchants have always been sī-oriented, and their profits have been huge. ”

Shen Changmao's comment seemed to be impartial, but the meaning of sī was to see how much benefit the Hui merchants could give to everyone present.

In this regard, Zhou Shangjing naturally understood, nodded and said: "In this case, during this southern tour, you might as well have more contact with those Hui businessmen to see what they think." ”

Listening to the conversation between Shen Changmao and Zhou Shangjing, Zhao Junchen was moved.

He remembered how to make the "Jenny spinning machine".

"It seems that this southern tour really needs to be in touch with micro-businesses."

Zhao Junchen thought secretly.

On the other side, Zhou Shangjing's god became much stricter, and said: "As for the last thing, it is about the prince, I am afraid that you are also aware of it, His Majesty has now begun to plan for the prince, first helped the prince to control the Imperial Procuratorate, so that the prince expanded his influence between the government and the opposition, and has the ability to control a few of us. ”

Listening to Zhou Shangjing say this, whether it is Shen Changmao, Huang Yourong, or Zhao Junchen, they are all upright.

They didn't want the prince to sit big, in fact, they all desperately hoped that Emperor Deqing would change someone to be the crown prince.

"Your Majesty is afraid that he is in a hurry, the prince is still young and inexperienced, and it is not a good thing for the prince to add a burden to the prince too early, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing for the prince and the court."

Huang Yourong was worried about the country and the people.

Shen Changmao also nodded and said: "That's true, Your Majesty is now in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is not a good thing to think about the prince too early and increase the power of the prince." ”

Zhao Junchen sighed lightly, but pointed to the core of the problem and asked, "In that case, seniors, how should we deal with it?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's question, Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong were silent.

Under the current system of the Ming Dynasty, for the establishment of the crown prince and the scheming emperor of Deqing, these foreign ministers did not have much to do.

Then, both of them turned the moonlight to Zhou Shangjing.

But Zhou Shangjing looked at Zhao Junchen.
