"Prepare a sedan chair, bring your name card, and follow me to Zhou Shangjing and Zhou Fu's house to meet you." Zhao Junchen instructed: "At this time, this kind of thing, no matter what, it should be discussed with Zhou Fu. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Xu Qingyan was suddenly shocked!

Speaking of which, since Zhao Junchen returned to Beijing, this is the first time that he plans to meet with Fu Zhou Shangjing alone.

"Young Master, this matter of Liang Fuchen...... Are you planning to discuss with Zhou Shangjing? Is it appropriate? ”

Xu Qingyan couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Junchen smiled and said indifferently: "What's inappropriate?" Zhou Shangjing is today's assistant, and all kinds of government affairs in the court can't bypass him no matter what, and Liang Fuchen's request this time is a matter of importance, neither I can solve it alone, nor can I bear the problem alone, since this is the case, I naturally need to consult with Zhou Shangjing. ”

"But ......" Xu Qingyan hesitated: "Zhou Shangjing, this old fox is too calculating, let's discuss things with him, and we are always worried that we will be used." What's more, this time it was the trilateral supervisor Liang Fuchen who begged the young master to your side, if the young master can help him solve the matter alone, he can just take this opportunity to draw Liang Fuchen to our side. But if you find Zhou Shangjing to discuss, this favor will inevitably be shared with Zhou Shangjing, and it is impossible to say who Liang Fuchen will be close to in the future. ”

Hearing Xu Qingyan's doubts, Zhao Junchen first glanced at Xu Qingyan with a little relief, and then shook his head and said, "You can think of this, it seems that you have really grown a lot these days." But it's still a big deal. Zhou Shangjing and I, although we belong to different factions in the DPRK and China, but the party struggle on weekdays is the party struggle. However, with regard to major affairs between the DPRK and China, especially those important issues that have a bearing on the safety and security of the country, it is still necessary to put aside the defense and cooperate with each other. If you only focus on the difference between parties and factions, but because of this, you even leave the interests of the court behind, and only know how to fight for power and profit without doing the right thing, then the position of me and Zhou Shangjing can be regarded as the end.

You also heard Xu Wenqing's words just now, the trilateral military town is responsible for the defense of the northwest frontier. But the situation is so erosive today that it only makes people feel shocked, and once something goes wrong in the future. There is no benefit to me, to Zhou Shangjing, and to the entire Daming country, if you want to solve it, you need me and Zhou Shangjing to work together. At this time, if you have selfish desires again. In the end, it will only harm others and himself, I understand this truth, and I think Zhou Shangjing also understands it, otherwise he would not have been in the auxiliary position for so long. Since Zhou Shangjing became a cabinet assistant, I have always been stable, but it is no accident. ”

These words can be regarded as Zhao Junchen's true thoughts now.

After knowing the true situation of the trilateral military town, Zhao Junchen will certainly consider what kind of benefits and benefits he can obtain from this situation. But at the same time, Zhao Junchen will also be worried about the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty!

After all. Once Beimeng breaks through the barrier, tens of millions of people in the northwestern provinces will face the catastrophe of annihilation, not to mention the truth that "the skin does not exist and the hair will be attached", which is also the basic conscience and bottom line of Zhao Junchen as a person and an official.

Therefore, after learning of Liang Fuchen's request, from the very beginning, Zhao Junchen planned to discuss countermeasures with Zhou Shangjing. With the current erosion situation in the military towns of the three sides in the northwest, I am afraid that it can only be solved with Zhou Shangjing's old scheming and powerful influence. If Zhao Junchen wants to deal with it alone, I'm afraid it will only usher in a thankless ending!

After hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, Xu Qingyan nodded thoughtfully, but hesitated: "But if the young master, you borrowed the power of Zhou Shangjing to help Liang Fuchen solve the hidden danger of the trilateral military town, then Liang Fuchen finally took refuge in Zhou Shangjing because of this, then wouldn't we have contributed in vain but didn't get any benefits?" ”

"No, it won't." Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "In the final analysis, the person who asked Zhou Shangjing for help was me instead of Liang Fuchen, and it was me instead of Liang Fuchen who owed Zhou Shangjing favors in the future. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan finally relieved the doubts in his heart, and nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

And just between the questions and answers between Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan's master and servant, they had already come to the outside of Zhao's mansion, where the sedan chair that was going to Zhou's mansion was already ready.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhou Shangjing and Zhao Junchen are both members of the imperial court, according to the practice of "rich in the east and expensive in the west" in the capital, the two live in the western district of the capital, and they are not very far apart, so the sedan chair that Zhao Junchen took soon arrived at the destination.

Zhou Shangjing's mansion is located in the "Bachelor Hutong" in the capital, but today, the common people are more accustomed to calling this Hutong "30,000 taels of silver Hutong"!

This is because Zhou Shangjing's influence on the power of the government and the opposition is too great, and there is always an endless stream of officials and private tycoons who go to the Zhou Mansion every day to meet them. However, Zhou Shangjing has always been happy and pure, but now he is old and lacks energy, so after he returns home, unless there is something important, Zhou Shangjing will not see all kinds of visitors.

Under such circumstances, if you want the housekeepers and stewards in the Zhou Mansion to help transfer the name post and report the intention even at the risk of being reprimanded by Zhou Shangjing, the visitors need at least 30,000 taels of silver to make a point up and down! And the name of "30,000 taels of silver alley" also comes from this!

However, this situation is also divided.

Now Zhao Junchen is the head of the household department and the supervisor of the Xichang factory, and is one of the few powerful ministers in the court second only to Zhou Shangjing, in a way, the status of Zhou Shangjing is almost equal, and if you want to visit Zhou Shangjing, you obviously don't need to be so troublesome, and you don't need to use silver to dot up and down, just give the name card to the concierge, in the face of Zhao Junchen's visit, the stewards of the Zhou Mansion will never dare to slack off.

In fact, when he came to the door of the Zhou Mansion, Zhao Junchen had just gotten off the sedan chair and appeared, and he had already been identified by the concierge of the Zhou Mansion.

…………

At this time, in front of the Zhou Mansion, as rumored, it was a busy look. Guests who came and went to see him were lining up to enter and leave the concierge of the Zhou Mansion to leave a name post to inform him of his intentions. And the sedan chair and carriage they rode in filled the entire alley.

In such a chaotic situation, Zhao Junchen's arrival should not have been noticed.

However, the stewards of the Zhou Mansion were obviously well-trained, and they all remembered the physiognomy and characteristics of important figures in the court, the long-term entourage around them, and even the style of the sedan chair.

When a Zhou Mansion steward who was looking at the wind in front of the Zhou Mansion saw Zhao Junchen's sedan chair coming slowly, and Xu Qingyan following next to the sedan chair, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly instructed the subordinates next to him to go to the mansion to pass the preparations, and then quickly came to Zhao Junchen's sedan chair to greet him.

When Zhao Junchen stepped off the sedan chair, the steward had already waited respectfully aside, and after personally confirming Zhao Junchen's appearance, he bowed to Zhao Junchen and said, "The villain Zhou Mansion steward Zhou Shanren, I have seen Zhao Shangshu!" Zhao Shangshu, are you here to visit my family's Fu Daren? ”

Seeing that he seemed to have been recognized by a steward of the Zhou Mansion before he got off the sedan chair, Zhao Junchen secretly frowned slightly, but on the surface, he smiled and nodded, and said: "That's right, this official has something urgent to ask to see Master Fu, please pass it on." ”

While speaking, Xu Qingyan, who was on the side, had already taken out Zhao Junchen's name card from his arms and handed it to Zhou Shanren.

For a figure like Zhao Junchen, Zhou Shanren obviously didn't dare to let him wait outside the mansion, and after respectfully accepting the name post, he stretched out his hand to the mansion and said with humility: "Please also ask Lord Shangshu to go to the living room of the mansion with the villain to wait, and the villain will immediately inform Lord Fu of your arrival." ”

Zhao Junchen, who is relieved that Xu Qingyan has grown a little, now looks at an ordinary steward of the Zhou Mansion is already so advanced and retreating, as the so-called "people are more popular than people", he couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't move, just followed Zhou Shanren into the Zhou Mansion.

At the same time, seeing that Zhao Junchen was first greeted by the Zhou Mansion steward, and then welcomed into the Zhou Mansion without notification, those guests who still had to queue up in order to enter the Zhou Mansion Gatehouse naturally guessed Zhao Junchen's identity.

Among them, some people have already recognized Zhao Junchen's identity, and when they saw that Zhao Junchen suddenly came to visit Zhou Shangjing without warning, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they speculated a lot about it.

As a result, the news of "Zhao Junchen's sudden meeting with Zhou Shangjing alone" spread throughout the officialdom of the capital in less than the evening.

…………

And at the same time that Zhao Junchen entered the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shangjing, who was practicing Danqing in the study, had already received the communication of his subordinates and knew about Zhao Junchen's arrival.

"Zhao Junchen? How did he get here? It's rare, could it be that something happened, please? ”

After hearing the report, Zhou Shangjing thoughtfully put down the rabbit hair in his hand and muttered to himself.

Zhou Lu, the head of the Zhou Mansion who was waiting next to him, was secretly one of the intelligence chiefs under Zhou Shangjing, and after hearing Zhou Shangjing's inquiry at this time, he bowed down and replied: "Lord Fu, I was about to inform you that I just got the news that Xu Wenqing, the staff of the trilateral supervisor Liang Fuchen, secretly visited Zhao Junchen this morning, and then lived directly in the Zhao Mansion. But there was no news about what the two had discussed. However, Liang Fuchen's staff has just visited Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen has come to ask to see you, and I am afraid that there will be some connection between the two. ”

"Oh?" After hearing Zhou Lu's report, Zhou Shangjing's seemingly dim old eyes flashed with wisdom, and he muttered: "It seems that Zhao Junchen's request to see the old man this time is not a trivial matter, in this case, even if the time is sensitive now, it can't be gone." (To be continued......)
