After returning home and changing into casual clothes, it was almost evening. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

Zhao Junchen did not delay, and took Xu Qingyan to Tianhai Tower, where he waited for Wen Guanliang's arrival.

For Tianhailou, Zhao Junchen is a big man, so he naturally needs to try his best to please, and after learning that Zhao Junchen was going to hold a banquet here, the banquet was still the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Wen Guanliang, and he did his best to prepare a good banquet early.

However, what is embarrassing is that although the banquet was set up early and Zhao Junchen came early, Wen Guanliang was late to appear.

Sitting in the private room on the top floor of Tianhai Tower, looking at the gradually dim sky outside the window, Zhao Junchen finally became a little impatient after waiting for a long time, and asked Xu Qingyan: "Old Wen Ge, did you really agree to come over?" ”

Xu Qingyan was also a little impatient to wait, and when he heard Zhao Junchen's inquiry, he frowned and replied: "Young master, when the post was sent over, Wen Guanliang agreed immediately. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, and asked again, "The time is not wrong, right?" ”

Xu Qingyan shook his head and said: "How can this be wrong, the time on the post is clearly written, it is the unitary time this evening." ”

Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, it must be this second assistant lord who already knows about my entry into the palace this afternoon, and now that the fraud case in the three provinces of Qiufu has been suddenly closed, Zhan Shanchang has also been saved by me, he feels that he has lost face, this is showing me a face." ”

After a pause, Zhao Junchen smiled again: "However, he is well-informed. ”

Xu Qingyan said hatefully: "This is called not knowing how to lift, just rely on his gentle and good-natured manners, and dare to set up a score for the young master." ”

Zhao Junchen raised his hand to interrupt Xu Qingyan's words, and said lightly: "I can't say that, no matter how old Wen Ge says, he is also the second assistant of the cabinet, and now in the court, in addition to His Majesty Xià and the first assistant Zhou Shangjing, he is the biggest, no matter the prestige power, he is more powerful and heavier than us, and now that we have made him lose face, why can't he show us a face?" Officialdom exchanges, eyes will be reported, but it is a common thing, and you can't be angry. ”

Xu Qingyan looked at the cold table of wine and food, and asked, "Young Master, then we continue to wait so stupidly?" If you want me to say, since he Wen Guanliang gave you a look at the young master, then why should you accommodate him, young master? Anyway, we protected Zhan Shanchang and prying Tong Huan away, it is no longer difficult to turn enemies into friends with him, this face effort, don't do it. ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said softly: "He broke the rules, we can't be bad, the old official of Wen Pavilion is higher than me, and he is older than me, he is the boss, he is the senior, and so on, not to mention, where can there be a clear distinction between friend and foe in the officialdom?" Today's enemy may be tomorrow's friend, yesterday's ally, or today's opponent, we must leave some room for everything, today he has lost face, we have gained prestige, since the benefits have been obtained, why not give him some face? ”

While speaking, Zhao Junchen glanced at the sky outside the window again, and said slowly: "However, although he is saying that he is putting on a face for me, it is already such a time, and it is estimated that he should come." ”

Xu Qingyan pursed his lips, but did not speak again.

………

Zhao Junchen was a little indifferent at this time, but in the face of Wen Guanliang's late appointment, he was actually a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face like Xu Qingyan.

Since Zhao Junchen came to this era, he has always adhered to the principle that one more enemy is better than one friend, and when dealing with various forces, most of them have the intention of making friends.

Today, Wen Guanliang got together, and the same is true, although he wants to have a showdown with Wen Guanliang, but he also has the intention of turning enemies into friends.

"Yuerongfang" is not only making pancreas these days, but also making every effort to develop perfumes, the process of perfume is more complex than pancreas, but it is not how difficult it is, and now it is about to succeed.

After all, Wen Guanliang is the second assistant of the cabinet, although Zhao Junchen kept Zhan Shanchang for various reasons, and also pried away the political envoy Tong Huan, and let him lose face, but Zhao Junchen does not intend to completely offend Wen Guanliang, if there is still the possibility of turning enemies into friends, Zhao Junchen does not mind giving up the perfume business to Wen Guanliang, although perfume is not a daily necessities like pancreas, and the cost is low and the sales volume is large, but if it is run well, it is also a business that makes money every day.

However, after such an incident, Zhao Junchen completely gave up such thoughts.

Without him, before and after the fraud case in the three provinces, this Wen Guanliang showed that his mind was too narrow-minded, and the methods of the city government were also average, such a person was not the best choice for an alliance.

Just look at the appearance of Wen Guanliang and the other two elders getting off the sedan chair every morning, and you can know how they behave.

In fact, this is also a matter of course.

The elders in the cabinet, including Wen Guanliang, can have today's prestige and power, in the final analysis, it is only because the first assistant Zhou Shangjing does not want to form a situation in the court that his own family dominates, which will arouse the suspicion of Emperor Deqing, so they deliberately have reservations.

Having said that, with Zhou Shangjing's foresight, he naturally would not tolerate the rise of characters who could really threaten him, so whether it was the second assistant Wen Guanliang or the other two pavilion elders Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong, being able to enter the cabinet under Zhou Shangjing's nose actually showed that their abilities were mediocre.

For such a person, although he can't be offended, he can't be offended, but if he is really offended, Zhao Junchen is really not afraid of him.

………

And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking in secret, outside the private room, there was a sudden commotion, and then he saw the shopkeeper of Tianhailou stumbling to the door of the private room, and said quickly: "Lord Shilang, Lord Cifu is here." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and took Xu Qingyan to greet him outside the private room.

Then, he saw Wen Guanliang walking slowly towards Zhao Junchen with the support of a group of entourage, although he was late for nearly an hour, he did not look in the slightest urgency.

Wen Guanliang is now nearly sixty years old, as his name suggests, with a kind face and a gentle temperament, giving people the impression that he is a very good old man.

Of course, this is just a façade.

Seeing Zhao Junchen greet him in person, a trace of resentment flashed in Wen Guanliang's eyes, but the next moment, a kind smile was already on his face, and he arched his hand while walking towards Zhao Junchen: "Oh, let Zhao Shilang wait for a long time, something suddenly happened in the old man's mansion, and it was delayed, sorry, sorry." ”

Zhao Junchen returned the salute with a smile and said, "Wen Ge is too worried, you are a senior, I am a junior, and so on." ”

While speaking, Zhao Junchen had already led Wen Guanliang into the private room and sat down.

After sitting down, Wen Guanliang looked at Zhao Junchen twice, and sighed: "Zhao Shilang doesn't know, the reason why the old man is late is to appease the old man's disciples, and it took a lot of effort. Zhan Shanchang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was originally pulled by the old man, but these days there has been a fraud case in the three provinces of Qiuqiu, all kinds of evidence are proved to be related to him, the old man is dedicated to the country, this time should naturally avoid suspicion, originally, although the old man will not help him, but he will not harm him, but he never thought that he was preaching to people everywhere, saying that the old man is cold and hypocritical, and he is guilty, and the people who make trouble are panicked. These days, I have become more and more estranged from the old man. ”

Listening to Wen Guanliang's meaningful exclamation, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, and after filling Wen Guanliang with wine, he said: "Wen Ge is always kind-hearted, and he is kind to people everywhere, and all the officials in the court and China are looking at it, how can he be a cold and hypocritical person?" Wen Ge was too worried. However, I have also seen Zhan Shanchang, but he is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, and I have never heard of him slandering Wen Ge Lao, in the officialdom, there are too many things without wind and waves, I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding, right? ”

Wen Guanliang heard Zhao Junchen say this, his eyes narrowed, but he didn't answer, but said slowly: "According to the news that the old man got today, under the construction of Zhao Shilang, His Majesty has announced that the fraud case of Qiuqiu in the three provinces has been closed?" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "Wen Ge Lao Gao has taken a look at the lower officials, where can the lower officials manage this kind of thing?" His Majesty is dictatorial and has made such a will, which is naturally considered by His Majesty. ”

Wen Guanliang sighed and said: "Zhan Shanchang is a person, the old man also understands something, although he is not lacking in ability, but he is a little greedy for money, and when it comes to all the suspicious points of the fraud case in the three provinces, he is afraid that he will not be able to get rid of it. The relationship between the imperial examination is heavy, there is fraud, and the evil should be eliminated, so Zhan Shanchang is said to be the old man's hand, but if it really has something to do with him, the old man, as the second assistant of the cabinet, will never let him go! ”

After a pause, Wen Guanliang said again: "The old man, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, should check and fill in the gaps for His Majesty, although the fraud case in the three provinces has been closed, but for Zhan Shanchang, the old man intends to continue to investigate strictly!" There is also the general political envoy Tong Huan, who has always advanced and retreated with Zhan Shanchang, and the three provinces have committed such a big thing as the autumn fraud, as the chief of the general political envoy department, he is in charge of the civil complaints of the Quartet, and he has never received any news, which is also strange, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get out of it. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Guanliang's words and demeanor all became meaningful: "The old man knows that these two people have been very close to Zhao Shilang in recent days, and the old man believes that the fraud in the three provinces has absolutely nothing to do with Zhao Shilang, but Zhao Shilang thinks about himself, but he also has to clear up the relationship with the two of them in time, don't be bewitched by the two of them." ”

Hearing Wen Guanliang say this, Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, and his heart was already abrupt.

Although Wen Guanliang said it was high-sounding, the meaning was very clear: Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan switched to Zhao Junchen's disciples, no matter what the previous reason was, for Wen Guanliang, it was a betrayal, and because of the fraud case in the three provinces, Wen Guanliang's reputation was now greatly damaged, so he planned to deal with Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan, kill a hundred people, and stabilize the internal faction.

And if Zhao Junchen does not object to this, then Wen Guanliang can not blame the past for the previous matter, and the two sides may even form an alliance. But if Zhao Junchen objects, then the two sides are friends and enemies, and you are dead or alive.

For this, Zhao Junchen naturally has no possibility of agreeing, after saving Zhan Shanchang, Zhao Junchen finally made a signboard, and now everyone knows that Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan are Zhao Junchen's people, if they watch Wen Guanliang deal with them, then what Zhao Junchen did before will not only be wasted, but no one will dare to take refuge in Zhao Junchen in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The fraud case of Qiuqiu in these three provinces, since Your Majesty has decreed that the case is closed, then the case is closed, why do you want to chase after it, Wen Ge Lao?" If it was just because of suspicion, it would be necessary to strictly investigate Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan, wouldn't it make hundreds of officials chill? Wen Ge is dedicated to the country, and the lower officials have always admired him, but there are some things that have to be passed. ”

Wen Guanliang heard Zhao Junchen say this, he seemed to snort lightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Zhao Shilang is now deeply favored by the saint, it is the spring breeze that is proud, and it is rare to be so polite to an old minister like the old man, but it reminds the old man of Guo Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works. ”

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh? Former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Guo Cheng? This person doesn't know about it, and he has to ask Elder Wen Ge to tell the official. ”

Wen Guanliang said slowly: "Zhao Shilang is young after all, and it is normal that things in the past are not clear. When Guo Cheng was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Shilang was afraid that he was still studying behind closed doors. However, that Guo Cheng is not a simple character, his sister is the concubine Shun back then, who is deeply favored by His Majesty, and even with that Guo Cheng is also a holy family, for a time there is no one in the government and the opposition. However, unlike Zhao Shilang, that Guo Cheng has always been unscrupulous with his holy family, even if he is against Lord Shoufu Zhou, he is also against him everywhere. But I didn't know that the holy family was just a holy family, and after Lord Shoufu couldn't bear him, but in three or five days, everyone in the court and the middle of the country impeached Guo Cheng, although His Majesty did not reduce Guo Cheng's holy family, but he could not go against the will of the people, and in the end he could only endure the pain and take him to prison, but he didn't expect that after Guo Cheng was imprisoned, within two days, he died of an epidemic, and the end was really pitiful. ”

While speaking, Wen Guanliang looked at Zhao Junchen and smiled lightly: "It can be seen that the holy family is just a holy family, although it can be beautiful for a while, but the temple battle is still a means of power, because even His Majesty has to worry about the thoughts of hundreds of officials, but it is a pity that Guo Cheng can't see this clearly, he doesn't know the severity, and if he offends someone who can't be offended, he doesn't even have a chance to turn over." ”

Wen Guanliang's words were threatening Zhao Junchen.

Zhao Junchen's face remained unchanged, he smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "Then Guo Cheng is indeed short-sighted, he can't tell who can offend and who can't offend, Shoufu Zhou has been running officialdom for decades, and his methods are old and spicy, how can he offend casually?" Xia Guan is different from him. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen changed his words and said: "However, in the opinion of the following officials, only the first assistant has such ability, if it is changed, I am afraid that Guo Cheng will not be able to be brought down so easily, right?" Maybe, not only did he fail to bring down Guo Cheng, but he would also be bitten back by Guo Cheng. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Wen Guanliang finally restrained his smile, and his eyes became cold.

Zhao Junchen's meaning is obvious, he can tell who can be offended and who can't, and Wen Guanliang is far inferior to Zhou Shangjing, the first assistant of the cabinet, in the eyes of Zhao Junchen, and belongs to the category of "it doesn't matter if he is offended".

In fact, Wen Guanliang also knew that he was inferior to Zhou Shangjing in terms of strength and means, and he had never bargained with Zhou Shangjing over the years, and he even knew that Zhou Shangjing could deal with him at any time, but he still kept him until now, allowing him to sit in the secondary auxiliary position safely.

It's just that officialdom is Vanity Fair, and he doesn't want to fight with Zhou Shangjing, but he has to fight.

Now, Wen Guanliang actually doesn't want to fight with Zhao Junchen, he is not Zhou Shangjing of the year, and Zhao Junchen is not Guo Cheng of the year, he is not sure of winning.

However, in the officialdom, I can't help myself.

Thinking like this, Wen Guanliang not only did not feel helpless, but his eyes became more and more cold.

Above the officialdom, there is no room for helplessness, and Wen Guanliang has long been aware of this.

I saw Wen Guanliang stretch out his hand and touch the dishes on the table, and then said slowly: "It's strange that the old man is late, this dish is actually cold." ”

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "The food is cold, let the restaurant guys relive it." ”

Wen Guanliang shook his head and said: "Although the dish can be revisited when it is cold, it loses its original taste, but this is still good. ”

While speaking, Wen Guanliang slowly stood up and bowed his hand to Zhao Junchen: "The old man is old, and he can't eat cold food, so he takes his leave." ”

Zhao Junchen also sighed, got up and said, "It's because the lower officials are not well entertained." ”

Wen Guanliang shook his head and didn't say anything more, just led a group of followers to leave.

"Phew! What is it! ”

Wen Guanliang had just left, and Xu Qingyan, who had been silent for a long time, was already spitting and saying.

Zhao Junchen frowned and said, "Qingyan, you're eating, are you disgusting like this?" ”

Xu Qingyan was not angry: "Young master, are you still eating?" I'm so angry, this old guy is so weird, he even dares to threaten the young master! ”

Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, and didn't seem to care.

The bottom line of the two sides is very different, and the sincerity is insufficient, and after the showdown, the negotiations broke down, and from now on, they will finally be friends and enemies.

For this, Zhao Junchen was mentally prepared, neither fearful nor helpless, just calm.

Seeing that Xu Qingyan was still angry and kept muttering something, Zhao Junchen shook his head helplessly, and intended to eat with chopsticks, but found that the food was really unpalatable when it was cold, and finally stood up and said: "What Wen Ge said is also reasonable, the food is cold and unpalatable, and it is difficult to recover it after revisiting it and losing its taste, so let's go back to the house to eat." ”

While speaking, Zhao Junchen took Xu Qingyan and walked towards the outside of Tianhai Tower.

While walking, Zhao Junchen said to Xu Qingyan: "Send someone to find Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan, I have something to explain to them." ”

Xu Qingyan nodded, already understanding Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and asked, "Young Master is going to strike first?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled lightly: "It's not that you start first, I think Wen Ge Lao has already started to prepare, but since the war has started, there must be some preparations." ”

While speaking, under the congratulations of the shopkeepers of Tianhai Tower, Zhao Junchen came to the outside of Tianhai Tower and sat in the sedan chair.

Faintly, there seemed to be a slight sigh coming from the sedan chair.

On the other side, the shopkeepers of Tianhailou, who only heard a few words, looked at each other after watching Zhao Junchen's sedan chair leave.

Got to war? What went to war?

They don't understand.

For ordinary people, some wars, with their might, will make them tremble. In other wars, the world has been turned upside down after the end of the war, but they are still unaware of it from beginning to end.
