Compared with Canglang Pavilion, the scenery of the Humble Administrator's Garden is more exquisite and charming, and the layout is more clever. The pond is vast, the trees are lush, the courtyards are scattered, and the atmosphere is cheerful. As long as you pay attention, you will always find some ironclad evidence, but then what? These ironclad proofs We can only involve Zhou Suhai, the prefect of Suzhou, but we can't do anything about Zhou Shangjing! However, His Majesty's ambitions are very great, not only against Zhou Suhai, but also against Zhou Shangjing! Not only do you want to bring down Zhou Shangjing, but you also want to wipe out the entire Zhou Party!"
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "Over the past few days, Your Majesty, he has been working step by step, making continuous calculations, and his methods are really clever... On the bank of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou. He first asked Zhou Shangjing to guarantee that nothing happened in Suzhou, and after arriving in Suzhou, he Zhou Shangjing was asked to lead the officials of the Zhou Party to investigate the hidden details of the Japanese pirate rebellion, but Zhou Shangjing and all the officials of the Zhou Party were gradually involved in the matter, and they could no longer be separated from the relationship! When His Majesty saw the situation, From Zhou Shangjing down, all Zhou Party officials will be convicted! At that time, the entire Zhou Party will be uprooted, and Your Majesty will have a great victory!"
After saying that, Zhao Junchen suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity that the people who surrounded Canglang Pavilion were not only taken advantage of, but in order to expand the impact of this matter, your majesty may want to cause a civil uprising. What they will do next I’m afraid we will encounter another disaster!”
…
Just as Xu Qingyan nodded in confusion, someone suddenly came to report outside the door, claiming that it was Hui Bao, the abbot of Nanchan Temple, asking to see Zhao Junchen.
After receiving the report, Zhao Junchen thought for a moment and decided to meet Hui Bao.
Soon, Hui Bao arrived at Zhao Junchen's room.
Then, before Zhao Junchen could speak, Hui Bao knelt down in front of Zhao Junchen with a plop, and said sadly: "Master Zhao! Please save Nanchan Temple! Now only you can save us!" "
Seeing Hui Bao's appearance, Zhao Junchen asked knowingly: "What's going on? Your Majesty and I just left Nanchan Temple yesterday, less than a day ago. Could it be that Nanchan Temple encountered some trouble?"
Hui Bao nodded repeatedly, and then explained to Zhao Junchen in detail what happened to the people surrounding Canglang Pavilion.
Hui Bao's description was quite pitiful, but Zhao Junchen was unmoved and said, "Since there are people besieging your Canglang Pavilion for no reason, why not ask the Suzhou government for help?"
Hui Bao said: "The people surrounded Canglang Pavilion to see His Majesty and file a complaint. If I informed the Suzhou government and the Suzhou government drove the people back, wouldn't we Nanchan Temple be hindering Tianting?" If I attract His Majesty’s blame in the future..."
Zhao Junchen waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "Master Huibao is overly worried. Your Majesty is the most respected person in the world. Not only does he have a noble status, but he also has to take care of everything. How can he be seen by anyone who wants to see him? The common people have grievances. You should go to the local government to file a complaint. Even if you want to see His Majesty, you should report it at all levels without breaking the rules. So you can report to the Suzhou Yamen with peace of mind! Don't worry, no one will blame you for blocking Shengting in the future. If If anyone uses this to make things difficult for you, I will naturally bear the burden."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Hui Bao had no other choice but to agree.
However, Hui Bao vaguely felt that Zhao Junchen asked her to report to the Suzhou Yamen for some kind of calculation. However, the status of the two parties was very different, so Hui Bao could only be led by Zhao Junchen.
For a time, Hui Bao regretted even more that he had invited Emperor Deqing to stay at Canglang Pavilion. Who would have thought that Nanchan Temple would be involved in a treacherous and complicated political struggle because of this, and that he could not resist even after being taken advantage of?
However, it is too late to regret. Huibao can only take one step at a time.
Frustrated, Hui Bao had no intention of staying, so he said goodbye to Zhao Junchen.
However, when Hui Bao left, Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "By the way, I forgot to congratulate Master Hui Bao. You have served me well these days, and His Majesty is very satisfied. Now you have made a decree."
, canonize you as the abbot of Nanchan Temple! From now on, you will no longer be the abbot of Huibao, but the abbot of Huibao!"
The abbot and the abbot are both the leaders of a temple. They seem to be the same, but in fact they are very different.
The so-called "president" is just the leader recommended by the monks in the temple, while the "abbot" is the leader canonized by the court, who is officially recognized and has many privileges.
In the Ming Dynasty, although there were countless Buddhist temples, there were less than ten temples with abbots. Therefore, the abbot of a temple often became a leader in the local religious community and was supported by the surrounding temples.
After Huibao was canonized as the abbot of Nanchan Temple, the status of both Huibao and Nanchan Temple in Buddhism would rise. This was also the benefit Huibao pursued diligently! At first, Huibao tried every means to invite Emperor Deqing to live in Canglang.
The pavilion is precisely for this purpose.
Now, the goal has finally been achieved, but Huibao doesn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
After all, if we can't survive the current crisis, everything is in vain.
…
After Hui Bao left with a complicated mood, Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment and then told Xu Qingyan: "Go and bring Xiao Wenxuan, Su Xiqing, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun to see me. I have something to ask you."
Discuss with them."
While in Yangzhou, Zhao Junchen connected with Su Xiqing and finally formed his own staff team. Among them, Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun were the most outstanding figures.
Now, the conflict between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing has turned from dark to clear. Zhao Junchen naturally found these aides to discuss countermeasures.
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Junchen can also further examine their character, ability, and stance.
After all, the various conflicts between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing have nothing to do with Zhao Junchen's secrets. Niu Fude, Ouyang Bo, Li Chuanwen, and Li Lun have only been assisting Zhao Junchen for a short time, and their loyalty cannot be guaranteed, but in this matter
, Zhao Junchen is also willing to have in-depth discussions with them. Even if they leak the news, it will not harm Zhao Junchen's interests. Instead, he can take the opportunity to test their loyalty.
