Hearing Xiao Wenxuan's sudden proposal, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled lightly.

First, Zhao Deqing complained in the carriage that Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan had bad intentions and deceived their subordinates, and Zhao Junchen severely punished Su and Xiao; Now, it is Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan who criticize Zhao Deqing for being short-sighted and forgetting righteousness, and hope that Zhao Junchen will try to remove Zhao Deqing from the position of head of the Zhao family......

It seems that during this period of time, the two sides have not gotten along happily, but they have been on the bar in front of Zhao Junchen.

In Zhao Junchen's heart, compared with the unsuccessful Yangzhou Zhao family, he is still more willing to believe in Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan, who know the roots, and also agrees with Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan's judgment on Zhao Deqing.

However, trust is only relative, but suspicion is absolute, although Zhao Junchen is more willing to trust Su and Xiao, but he will not blindly listen to their advice.

Therefore, after Zhao Junchen smiled lightly, he asked calmly, "Oh? You don't like Zhao Deqing so much? Well, let's elaborate on your reasoning. ”

This time, it was Su Xiqing who spoke first, and said: "My lord, now you have reconciled with the Yangzhou Zhao family, and you are about to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, in this way, you and the Yangzhou Zhao family will be a prosperous and lossy relationship in the future, your glory is the glory of the Yangzhou Zhao family, and the trouble caused by the Yangzhou Zhao family is your trouble, that is, your trouble, in this way, the choice of the head of the Yangzhou Zhao family is very important, even if it is not a wise and resourceful person, but at least it should be a stable character, People who understand what's at stake, otherwise. The Zhao family in Yangzhou will not only not be able to help you, but will also bring countless troubles in the future. It will become a flaw for adults, and maybe one day it will be used by your political enemies. poked out a big hole, but at that time, it didn't end well. ”

As soon as Su Xiqing's words fell, Xiao Wenxuan already said: "And Zhao Deqing's character, you also know a little, we say that he is short-sighted, forgetful of profit, and there is absolutely no exaggeration, and it is not a blessing for you to be in charge of the Zhao family in Yangzhou by such a person." Instead, it will be a great trouble. ”

Su Xiqing said again: "At the beginning, when Zhao Deqing came to the capital to visit the adults, you had deliberately told him not to make things happen to himself during this time, to donate money and materials to create a good name, and to carefully select the candidates for the children of the Zhao family to enter the Guozijian, at that time he also agreed one by one, but after he returned to Yangzhou, he was full of interests and forgot all your instructions, this period of time. Not only did he not keep a low profile and create a good name, but he relied on the support of your lords to bully the good and take the good everywhere, as for the candidates for entering the country. He is even more nepotistic, among the children of the Zhao family, whoever is close to him will choose whomever he wants. Completely ignore the talents and morals of these children......"

Speaking of this, Su Xiqing shook his head and smiled bitterly. "My lord, if you hadn't had foresight. Send me and Xiao Gongzi to Yangzhou, and now the Zhao family in Yangzhou doesn't know what kind of mess to make. ”

Xiao Wenxuan said again: "Yes, my lord." A few days ago, Lin Yunpu, president of the Salt Merchants Association in Yangzhou, intended to use the Zhao family in Yangzhou to establish some relations with you, so he visited Zhao Deqing and offered to run a private salt business with Zhao Deqing...... At that time, Zhao Deqing only stared at the profits of private salt in his eyes, and he didn't think about the consequences at all, so he had to agree on the spot, if it wasn't for me and Master Su hurriedly blocking it, now this Zhao Deqing is probably already a member of the Salt Merchants Association. ”

Su Xiqing also shook his head again and again, and said: "My lord, you also know the attitude of the imperial court towards salt merchants, just like raising pigs, just wait for fattening to slaughter, so although the salt merchants in Huizhou and Zhejiang are all making a lot of money, and their net worth is richer than the national treasury, there has never been a salt merchant for a long time, and most of them have died in one generation." It is precisely because of this that there is also an unspoken rule in the DPRK and China, that officials and their families must never interfere in the illegal salt business, and it is okay to ask for bribes from salt merchants, but it is absolutely not feasible to run the illegal salt business by themselves...... However, Zhao Deqing couldn't even understand this truth, even if Xiao Gongzi and I explained it to him in detail, he was reluctant. ”

Xiao Wenxuan sighed and said: "According to the student's opinion, this Zhao Deqing has been carried away and doesn't know who he is since he fell in love with the towering tree of Lord Zhao. But because of this, Zhao Deqing will cause big trouble sooner or later, so he must no longer serve as the head of the Zhao family. ”

……

Listening to the detailed explanations of Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan, the continuous reasons, and the endless narratives, Zhao Junchen shook his head with a wry smile.

It seems that Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan are indeed very dissatisfied with what Zhao Deqing did, otherwise they would not have said so many reasons in one breath.

However, the various reasons listed by Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan were indeed reasonable, so Zhao Junchen also believed them, but after pondering for a while, he asked: "I am not familiar with the internal situation of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, but you have been here for a while, so you should have some understanding...... Since you say that Zhao Deqing is not suitable for the position of the head of the Zhao family, who is suitable? ”

After Xiao Wenxuan and Su Xiqing glanced at each other, they said in unison: "Zhao Deqing's own brother Zhao Deshun is a suitable candidate. ”

At the beginning, when Zhao Deqing came to visit Zhao Junchen in the capital, he also took Zhao Deshun with him and had a relationship with Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Junchen also had some impressions of Zhao Deshun, remembering that this Zhao Deshun was Zhao Deqing's think tank, he didn't talk much, but he was steady, and he also had a reputation for raising people.

However, Zhao Junchen's understanding of Zhao Deshun only stops there, so after thinking for a while, he asked again: "What is the reason?" ”

This time, Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan, who have always had the same attitude, gave different answers.

Xiao Wenxuan said: "Contrary to Zhao Deqing's character, Zhao Deshun has a calm temperament, knows the general situation, knows how to advance and retreat, and he does not agree with what Zhao Deqing has done during this period of time, if he is the head of the Zhao family, he will never cause trouble to you, Lord Zhao." ”

Su Xiqing said: "The subordinates recommended Zhao Deshun, firstly, Zhao Deshun is quite prestigious in the Zhao family, second only to Zhao Deqing, and he will take over the position of the head of the family, which will not cause too many waves and backlash, and secondly, because Zhao Deshun's temperament is a little weak, easy to control, when Zhao Deqing was the head of the family, although he did not agree with some of Zhao Deqing's actions, but he also did his best to assist Zhao Deqing, presumably after he became the head of the Zhao family, he would do his best to do things according to your instructions. will not be like Zhao Deqing, who deceived and deceived his superiors and made things happen to himself. ”

After hearing Su Xiqing and Xiao Wenxuan's respective reasons, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but smile again.

Xiao Wenxuan has been following Su Xiqing for a while, and he has indeed grown a lot, and he has gradually become a bit of a staff member.

However, compared with Su Xiqing, the veteran master, Xiao Wenxuan is still a little worse after all, and he still needs to hone and hone again.
