In the cunning and deceitful officialdom, especially when one reaches the level of Zhao Junchen, without realizing it, such a good quality as "trust" is no longer available. (].
Therefore, although Chen Zhirong's words were sincere, conclusive, and even pitiful, Zhao Junchen was still dubious - not to mention that Chen Zhirong's words were just one-sided remarks, even if Chen Zhirong really produced conclusive evidence
, Zhao Junchen will never blindly believe it - after all, the so-called "evidence" can also be forged.
However, on the surface, Zhao Junchen "believed it."
I saw Zhao Junchen, with a little surprise and a little hesitation, said slowly: "Oh? I see, I didn't expect Miss Chen to have such good intentions, but... I'm not afraid of the shadow being distorted, so Tongji Temple
It really has nothing to do with me, so I'm not afraid of people with ulterior motives using this as an excuse to catch me. It's just that Ms. Chen's thoughts are indeed rare, so I would like to thank you here."
Seeing Zhao Junchen's behavior, Chen Zhirong also understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts and sighed: "However, with Mr. Zhao's wisdom, he can naturally see the character behind the Duke of Jing. That is a
He only believes in his own people, so I am afraid that my reply can only be hidden from him for a while. He may send other people to investigate again in the future. Just in case, Mr. Zhao should make preparations in advance."
After a pause, Chen Zhirong smiled slightly and then said: "However, as long as Mr. Zhao is aware of it, these are just trivial matters. However, there are other things that Mr. Zhao has to guard against."
"I wonder what it is?" Zhao Junchen asked.
"You must have guessed it, Mr. Zhao. The person behind Duke Jing... has a big plan in mind. In order to achieve his goal, he has been working hard over the years. He has also been looking for reliable allies. Now Mr. Zhao is him.
The most ideal choice for an ally. However, that person's desire for control is too strong. Even his allies will inevitably be gradually cannibalized by him. In addition, that person has a long-term vision and always takes precautions. Now that he is targeting
If you fall in love with Mr. Zhao, you may not just wait for your response honestly..."
On the other side, while speaking, Chen Zhirong glanced at Zhao Junchen meaningfully and said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Zhao, you should pay more attention to the movements of your officials these days. I know that Mr. Zhao has always had a long-term vision and lofty ambitions.
.However, sometimes if you look too far away, you will inevitably ignore the footing, and if you always just stare at others, you will inevitably forget your own weaknesses."
Originally, Zhao Junchen still looked noncommittal, but when he heard this, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
Chen Zhirong has always helped Chen You, Duke of Jing, to do things, and Chen You is one of the confidants of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian. If Zhu Hejian has done something secretly, I am afraid Chen Zhirong will be more or less aware of it.
Could it be that... after Zhu Hejian hinted to him that he wanted to join forces, but saw that he had not responded yet, he actually started to secretly pry into his corner?
Because of Chen Zhirong's words, how sincere Chen Zhirong was in taking refuge in him suddenly became a secondary matter to Zhao Junchen. Now Zhao Junchen is just thinking about whether Chen Zhirong's hint is true or false!
However, if this matter is true, then Chen Zhirong's intention to surrender will have more credibility.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen asked slowly: "Oh? But I don't know what that person is doing now?"
Chen Zhirong did not answer directly, but asked instead: "In Mr. Zhao's opinion, what do you rely on to stand in the court now? And what is the advantage of that person hiding behind the scenes?"
Seeing the seriousness of Chen Zhirong's question, Zhao Junchen also replied seriously: "The reason why I stand tall in the temple now is relying on His Majesty's trust, and that person is hidden behind the scenes. The advantage is that no one is aware of his threat."
…”
Chen Zhirong shook his head and said: "Master Zhao is wrong. Your advantage does not lie in His Majesty's trust. In fact, you and I both know very well that with Your Majesty's mastery of the emperor's mind, he will never trust anyone. You
The advantage is that you have now firmly controlled the Hubu Yamen. Without your approval, it will be even more difficult for others to use a stone of rice or a tael of silver. In addition, Mr. Zhao's financial management is very difficult.
He is the best in the world, so Your Majesty not only wants you to help him control money and food, but also wants you to raise money and food for him to satisfy his various ideas. He has gradually become inseparable from Mr. Zhao, and it is precisely because of this that he has always protected him.
…”
After a pause, Chen Zhirong continued: "However, a person's greatest strength is often also a person's weakness. Mr. Zhao, your weakness now also lies in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Mr. Zhao, you can think about it, if one day, Zhao
Your Majesty, you can no longer control the household department. No matter how good your financial management skills are, you will not be of much use to His Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty will still protect you wholeheartedly? I'm afraid only
Will you discard it like worn out shoes?"
Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned - he had never considered the problem in this way, but he had to admit that what Chen Zhirong said made sense, so he couldn't help but nodded.
It has to be said that although Chen Zhirong's thoughts and ideas are a bit extreme and her views on people and things are a bit biased, her vision is indeed very poisonous. Although she and Fang Ru are both smart and capable women, in comparison, Fang Ru sees
When it comes to problems, the vision is much different.
Chen Zhirong saw that Zhao Junchen was thinking carefully about his words. He was no longer noncommittal, and satisfaction and joy flashed in his bright eyes.
She knew that Zhao Junchen did not trust her, and she also knew that it was very difficult to gain Zhao Junchen's trust, but many times, trust was slowly built up bit by bit.
Now, with these words, she at least has a good start.
While thinking secretly, Chen Zhirong commented: "The advantage of the person behind Duke Jing is not that he is unnoticed, but that he has a good relationship with the prince. Although he has always coveted the prince's position in his heart,
However, the prince has always been ignorant. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are brothers and brothers, and they are of the same body. Therefore, the position where the man is now is quite convenient. He can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. On the one hand, he can not attract people.
He carefully bribed the prince's officials, unknowingly draining away the prince's authority. On the other hand, in some respects, his statement could be misunderstood as the prince's own statement..."
At this point, Chen Zhirong's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked again: "Mr. Zhao, you yourself think that the officials under you are all crooked and corrupt, and there are countless cases of corruption and bribery. To them, the prince
The existence of Zhu Heyu is their hanging sword. But if one day, someone very close to the prince promises them that he will not only absolve them of all kinds of crimes in the future, but also give them official positions.
Jinjue, then Mr. Zhao, do you think the officials under you will still be loyal to you?"
Chen Zhirong's hint is now very clear.
Obviously, because of the secret manipulations of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, the household department, which was originally regarded as a taboo by Zhao Junchen, now has problems.
What's even more frightening is that Zhao Junchen's major intelligence systems, including Tongji Temple and Xichang, are completely unaware of this!
If Chen Zhirong's hint is true, and if Zhao Junchen is still ignorant, Zhao Junchen really can't imagine what will happen next!
However, after a moment of solemn silence, Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled and said, "Absolutely not, let alone them. Even I will probably be tempted when I hear such a promise."
Seeing Zhao Junchen smile, Chen Zhirong was stunned and asked: "Master Zhao doesn't seem worried?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "If what you said is true, then I am being kicked out of the cauldron without even knowing it. The seriousness of the situation has already exceeded my imagination, so how can I not be worried?
"
"Then why is Mr. Zhao laughing?" Chen Zhirong asked doubtfully.
"Many of the things I am doing now are to go against the trend, and I have already prepared myself to face difficulties. If I were to lose control when encountering some difficulties, then I would not be where I am today.
Zhao Junchen said leisurely: "What's more, with your character, Miss Chen, if things have reached an irreversible point, I'm afraid you won't tell me these things at all. Now that you have said it, it proves that the matter is not beyond control."
To the point where we can show the precious friendship you reminded me, am I right?"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Chen Zhirong's bright eyes flashed with admiration, and he smiled and said: "Master Zhao is indeed someone worthy of my love!"
"So..." Zhao Junchen looked at Chen Zhirong seriously and asked: "Miss Chen, can you teach me now? Maybe... do you know some more detailed information?"
