Chapter 210: Take Control of the East Palace
The scribe had just walked on his front foot.
Li Gang raised his eyes, with anger in his eyes that could no longer be hidden.
Obviously, he didn't like Chen Zhengtai's way very much, and he didn't like Chen Zhengtai very much.
This is the East Palace, how solemn the East Palace is, and the prince's side should be humble gentlemen.
Only in this way can the prince become more self-contained, the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, on moral issues, this is not child's play.
This time, we must give Chen Zhengtai a dismount, and by the way, kill the atmosphere of this East Palace.
…………
Chen Zhengtai was leisurely drinking tea in the tea room at this time.
The tea in the East Palace is still good, after all, the tea is obtained from the Chen family, and the eunuch who pours the tea is very careful.
Xue Li will always be Chen Zhengtai's follower.
Anyway, wherever Chen Zhengtai goes, he will go, and there are a lot of people who have offended recently, so safety is the most important thing.
Xue Li also sat on the edge of the table, drinking tea, and said, "I don't know what to drink in this tea, I like to drink, but unfortunately my eldest brother doesn't allow me to drink it." ”
Looking at Xue Li's bitter appearance, Chen Zhengtai glared at him: "Drinking and making mistakes, don't you know?" Think about your responsibilities, if you make a mistake, can you afford it? ”
Xue Li hurriedly put away his bitter gourd face, and said as if flatteringly: "I know, I know, but it's ...... Big brother ......" He lowered his voice: "The eldest brother just came, and he used so much money, you know, more than 100 subordinate officials, that is, six or seven thousand yuan, and other eunuchs, scribes, and guards, there are countless more, I am afraid that it will take another 10,000 or 20,000." I really feel sorry for my eldest brother, why give it to them if I have so much money? This money is enough to eat and drink for a lifetime. ”
Chen Zhengtai is happy, he rarely confides in others, but Xue Li is an exception.
After all...... This guy is his bodyguard and driver, and he also serves as a sworn brother, Chen Zhengtai smiled casually: "Who said I spent money?" ”
Xue Li said with a painful face: "There are no flowers yet, even the dog has a share?" ”
Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "Do you believe it or not, this money is back in my hands today?" ”
"Huh?" Xue Li was stunned, what kind of operation is this?
"You don't understand." Chen Zhengtai said happily: "This is called making something out of nothing. You don't want to think about it, I send money everywhere, such a big movement. And that Li Zhan, you also saw it. ”
"You look at his meticulous appearance, at first glance he is a person who is not easy to get along with, I just came, he is obviously dissatisfied with me, after all, he is Zhan Shi, but he makes my junior of the younger generation do his Shao Zhan thing, he will definitely give me a dismount, not only that, but I am afraid that I will make it more difficult for me in the future. The more arrogant and senior people are, the more they are used to being a brother like them. ”
Xue Li nodded again and again: "He doesn't look like a good stubble, and then what?" ”
Chen Zhengtai continued after a long time: "What else can I do, I sent money, if he knows, he must jump up and scold, thinking that I have broken the rules of Zhan Shifu." How could he tolerate Shao Zhan breaking the rules he had set? So...... In my opinion, he must have demanded that all his subordinates and subordinates return the money, and only in this way can his authority be demonstrated. ”
Xue Li bowed: "Oh, I see, but ...... Big brother, isn't your money for nothing? ”
"Who said it was given away for nothing?" Chen Zhengtai glared at him: "You, learn more from me in the future, and use your brains more in case of trouble." Think about it, I gave the money, right? Since they took my money, even if it is returned, this favor is still there, right? It's not me who makes the money back, but Li Zhan, everyone owes me a favor, and at the same time they will resent Li Zhan and force them to return the money, this plus and one minus, I Chen Zhengtai didn't pay a penny, but I became everyone's favorite person in the Zhan Mansion, everyone thinks that I am a bold person, and thinks that I can be considerate of the difficulties of their subordinates and subordinates, and think that I am a good person. ”
"And what about Li Zhan? He forced people to return the money, and the money in hand was gone, how much hatred is this, everyone will definitely blame Li Zhan for not being reasonable, and will blame him for deliberately blocking people's money, think about it, if I have an awkward quarrel with Li Zhan in the future, who will everyone help? ”
When Xue Li heard this, he was shocked: "Ah, big brother, you ...... You are so cunning. ”
Chen Zhengtai said with a straight face: "This is not called cunning, this is called wrist, people live in the world, they always have what they want to do, this is called ideals, but it is impossible to do things with a single ideal." If a pragmatic person pursues what he wants, he must know how to use his wrists and use the lowest efficiency to do what he wants to do. You really don't think that being a brother can have today, all by giving his teacher a whisker and patting a horse, right? ”
Xue Li was silent, he was trying to think......
After a while, I saw a few officials coming.
The first one is the chief bookkeeper of the Economic Bureau, who cried and mourned, and came to Chen Zhengtai with a pile of IOUs, and reluctantly put the IOUs on the table, and then solemnly bowed to Chen Zhengtai: "I have seen Shaozhan's affairs." ”
"Huh?" Chen Zhengtai clicked the IOU on the table: "What's going on?" ”
The main book wanted to cry without tears: "On the order of Li Zhanshi, I am here to return the money, Shao Zhanshi...... This...... This...... Your kindness, the subordinates understand it, it's just ...... It's just that...... The East Palace has the rules of the East Palace. ”
Chen Zhengtai suddenly looked angry, and Xue Li on the side was stunned.
Chen Zhengtai said with a little annoyance: "What are these words? I, Chen Zhengtai, are sympathetic to the big guys, after all, who doesn't have a wife and children, and who doesn't have any difficulties? The so-called penny is difficult for a hero, and the purpose of giving this money is to hope that everyone can go back to buy a dress for their wives and some food for their children. How did it become unruly? Of course, there are rules in the East Palace, but the rules are dead, and people are alive, is it also a sin to love each other among colleagues? ”
The master and several officials behind him were about to cry.
This Shao Zhan thing really touched everyone's hearts, this Shao Zhan thing is really considerate!
"If I take out this money, I will never take it back." Chen Zhengtai said loudly: "This is what I said, if I am a little Zhan Shi, doesn't it count?" ”
The main book said with a bitter face: "Shao Zhan Shi is waiting for me, I really don't have to say anything, Xia Guan has been an official for many years, and I have never seen Shao Zhan Shi such a considerate Shangguan." It's just that this kindness, the officials and others really understand it, Li Zhan has already said that if anyone does not retreat, they will be expelled. So...... So ......"
Chen Zhengtai looked surprised: "That's it? If so...... I can't say anything, I can't ruin your job because of you, right...... I really can't say anything about this, how did it become like this, what was originally a good thing? ”
The chief bookkeeper and the others saluted again and again, left the money, and then respectfully withdrew.
As soon as the person left, Chen Zhengtai counted the money happily, kicked his IOU back into his sleeve, and said: "To be honest, let me send so much money out at one time, I am really a little reluctant in my heart, before and after adding up, tens of thousands of yuan, it is not easy for our Chen family to make money, we have to save some flowers, don't be stunned, come and help me count, don't have any bastard deliberately less returned." ”
"Oh, oh." Xue Li nodded stunned, and now he still looked a little unable to come back to his senses.
…………
After a while, Li Chengqian finally got up, and the eunuch hurriedly changed his clothes carefully, he remembered something, and said, "Is Chen Zhengtai here?" This guy, who leads our East Palace, won't be idle all day long. ”
The eunuch immediately said: "Come, come, Chen Zhan is a good person, he can work hard, up and down, who doesn't know that Chen Zhan has come to the present from this morning, for the affairs of the East Palace, it can be said that he is conscientious, Chen Zhan is handsome, has a good temperament, and is meticulous in his work......"
Li Chengqian felt that he hadn't woken up yet, and when he heard this, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
Is it?
Is that really the case?
"Let's go, see him go."
The eunuch who changed clothes smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but His Highness hasn't washed yet?" ”
He said, making a gesture with another companion on duty.
The companion quietly withdrew.
The eunuch went all the way to the teahouse, panting, and when he saw Chen Zhengtai, he immediately said: "Chen Zhanshi, Chen Zhanshi, Your Highness is up, up." ”
Chen Zhengtai looked at the eunuch and drank tea: "Get up and get up, what's there to be surprised about?" ”
The eunuch looked at Chen Zhengtai, his eyes showed kindness, he liked Chen Zhan Shi to talk to him like this: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was coming to look for you, isn't the slave afraid that Shao Zhan Shi You are drinking tea here, and you were bumped into by Your Highness, I am afraid that Your Highness will blame you......"
Chen Zhengtai thought about it and felt that it made sense, although he was not afraid of Li Chengqian's scolding, and he scolded him almost the same, but on the first day of work, he had to leave a good impression on the prince.
Okay, I, Chen Zhengtai, want to work hard, so I humbly said to the eunuch: "Thank you Lux for reminding me." ”
When the eunuch heard this, his body was shocked, and he immediately said: "What are you talking about Shao Zhan, they are all a family, what kind of thanks, if Chen Zhan is to thank you in the future, slave ...... Nuke was angry. ”
As he spoke, he seemed to be afraid of being caught by the prince, and ran away again.
Xue Li continued to be silent, he felt that his mind was a little messy.
Chen Zhengtai patted his head and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, go to work." ”
When I arrived at Shao Zhan's room, a scribe had already greeted him, and said with a friendly smile: "Oh, Chen Zhan, you are here......
The scribe saluted respectfully.
Chen Zhengtai put his hands behind his back and said with a serious face: "Don't be verbose, I want to work, and immediately take all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, oh, by the way, what am I going to do?" ”
………………
Another day is about to pass, and the tiger has insisted on one more day, and I always feel that persistence is the most difficult thing for people to live.
