Chapter 635 The big problem of the family is also big
Especially since the East Palace is the prince's power, His Majesty's dragon body is often not in good condition now. To put it bluntly, it may not be able to hold on for a few more years, or it may give up the throne to the prince in advance. Otherwise, with His Majesty's always suspicious character, it is impossible.
The power of the East Palace has been allowed to expand like this.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the East Palace is very powerful, and it is as powerful as His Majesty allows. Shen Jungao should certainly be proud of being able to control such a group.
But every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Shen Jungao also has too many helplessness and compromises he has to make. In the final analysis, it is actually because the East Palace is getting stronger and stronger. Naturally, some people within the East Palace are beginning to become restless.
The entire system of the East Palace can be said to be complicated or simple. In fact, it is a system of military commanders headed by Xiao Mohe and a system of civil servants headed by Shen Jungao, plus Zhou Que and other civil servants who have been sent to the outside, forming a separate but complementary system.
group.
It can be said that Xiao Mohe is more cooperative and appreciative towards Shen Jungao and Shen Jungao towards Xiao Mohe. There is no obvious contradiction or conflict between the two parties. If it is really said, I am afraid it is Xiao Mohe who insists on dealing with Li Xingchen.
They used softer methods, but Shen Jungao, Fu Yi and others had already reached an agreement, so Xiao Mohe did not argue any more and just retained his own opinions.
In fact, this has little impact on the strategy of the entire East Palace, because the top priority of the East Palace is to control the Jiankang Mansion court as much as possible, rather than dealing with outsiders like Li Xingchen who have clearly separated.
What's more, even if we are dealing with Li Xingchen, now is not the time to go to war, so Shen Jungao does not need Xiao Mohe's full support, and Shen Jungao has not yet figured out how to deal with this young man who knows the East Palace well.
What really worries Shen Jungao are the few people who have been surrounding the prince Chen Shubao. These young people who were appreciated by Chen Shubao for their poetry are represented by Kong Fan and Mr. Jiang.
To be honest, Shen Jungao had been hiding in the mountains and forests before. He actually didn't know much about these people who entered the East Palace even earlier than him. Moreover, their daily task was to accompany Chen Shubao on sightseeing tours, just like Chen Shubao's personal bodyguards.
They are similar, so Shen Jungao never takes them seriously.
As long as they don't come up with any bad ideas and don't interfere with Chen Shubao's acceptance of the suggestions put forward by Shen Jungao and others, Shen Jungao is still willing to maintain a colleague relationship with them.
But recently, Shen Jungao has noticed some clues. As the power of the East Palace continues to expand, some villains and opportunists also want to profit from the huge benefits obtained by the East Palace. You must know that the expansion of the East Palace system means that a large number of manpower is needed.
This would definitely be difficult for Dong Gong, who had always swallowed his humiliation, to be satisfied in a short period of time.
Shen Jungao has no intention of shutting out some upright and loyal people. Now the East Palace also needs to be enriched and developed. Naturally, it is impossible to just maintain an empty frame. This will become unbearable once conflicts with other enemies intensify.
hit.
The matter of selecting talents naturally falls on Fu Yi's shoulders. For Fu Yi, Shen Jungao is still very relieved. This straightforward colleague not only judges people accurately, but also uses the harshest language to cut off those who try to take advantage of others.
thought.
It's just that the selection and filling of this kind of talent takes a certain amount of time. After all, you know the person but not the heart. It's not that easy to know whether a person is suitable for you.
Shen Jungao wanted to sigh every time he thought about this problem, because in his heart, the three young people who are most suitable to support the next generation of Donggong are naturally Li Xingchen, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie. Unfortunately, now they have embarked on another path, and Donggong has already
No longer friends but enemies.
While selecting suitable people from outside officials is still a small problem, the big problem now is that Mr. Jiang, Kong Fan and others, who were just traveling around Chen Shubao every day, actually started to ask Chen Shubao to give them some
Task.
This naturally aroused Shen Jungao's vigilance. Of course, he would not be so foolish as to think that these people really wanted to share Chen Shubao's worries. The simplest and most direct explanation is that they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to join the Donggong system, and
Gradually occupy a more important position.
Once Chen Shubao ascends the throne, it will naturally be the time for them to flourish.
Although Shen Jungao has always scorned this kind of flattering villains, he has to admit that their method has great risks, but it is also a good way to achieve success.
Especially now, Chen Shubao seems to feel that these cronies have been with him for a long time, so he wants to give them a chance to experience and prove themselves, and has clearly expressed his intention to Shen Jungao and Fu Wei.
It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Although Shen Jungao wanted to refuse, he agreed temporarily because he didn't want to offend these villains at this time, otherwise if they had a grudge and whispered in Chen Shubao's ears,
That would be enough for Shen Jungao to eat and carry around.
After all, Shen Jungao couldn't guarantee that Chen Shubao wouldn't believe it because of his weak character.
In addition to this, Shen Jun and Gauguin are actually worried about the future of the East Palace. The East Palace has developed into a big business now, but it also faces the problem of nowhere to display it. The East Palace in the court seems to be the largest force. It was originally close to the East Palace.
Chen Shuling's officials have now remained silent and will not take the initiative to provoke, and the other neutral officials have always been careful, so it should not be difficult for the East Palace to control the court.
But if this continues, the East Palace will not be able to prove the ability of this group to the younger generation of talents, because the East Palace actually still lacks the achievements such as Li Xinchen's single-handed victory over Bashu, and lacks the ability to change the entire Nanchen's bloated and backward administrative system.
Courage and ability, so if you want to maintain the ability of the entire system and attract more capable and insightful young people, instead of just attracting a group of sycophants, you need to show more achievements to prove it.
At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Jungao can also prove to Chen Shubao that what Donggong needs are real talents who can do practical things. People like Kong Fan and Mr. Jiang who write gorgeous articles but can only flatter others are not what Donggong needs.
Therefore, Shen Jungao keenly seized the opportunity of the Northern Zhou turmoil.
Li Xingchen has no way to provoke him yet. If he can make the East Palace forces perform in this Northern Zhou turmoil, it will also be a good opportunity to prove himself. This is why Shen Jungao came to the door so anxiously. He also wanted to hear from Xu Ling
Views.
Xu Ling looked Shen Jungao up and down and sighed secretly in his heart.
The family is big, the business is big, and the problems are big. It is not easy for Shen Jungao to support the East Palace.
