In the same way, what kind of master there is, what kind of servant will be cultivated. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)
Before, Zhao Junchen had seen the stewards in Wen Guanliang's mansion, and like Wen Guanliang, they were all xìng sons who regarded wealth as their lives.
As for Xu Qingyan's arrogant and domineering villain, it is also in the same vein as Zhao Junchen in the past, although Zhao Junchen is now stiff and his heart is completely different, but Xu Qingyan's xìngzi has been fixed and cannot be reversed, which is a pity.
And Steward Li in Zhou Shangjing's mansion is the same, although it is only the first contact, but his demeanor and movements, between the subtleties, there are some shadows of Zhou Shangjing.
"Master Shoufu's subordinate steward Li Cheng has seen Lord Zhao."
After being led to the study, Steward Li saluted Zhao Junchen in a proper manner and said in a deep voice.
Although he came on behalf of Zhou Shangjing, he did not have the slightest appearance of a fox and a tiger, and his demeanor was humble and introverted, but his eyes were half-open and half-closed, which always made it impossible for people to detect his mood lightly.
Looking at Li Cheng's demeanor and bearing, and thinking about Xu Qingyan's consistent arrogance of "the emperor is the boss, the young master is the second, and I am the third in the world", Zhao Junchen sighed secretly in his heart.
People are more angry than people, Zhao Junchen's current talent savings can't be compared with Zhou Shangjing after all, this Li Cheng in front of him is just an ordinary steward in Zhou Shangjing's mansion, but when he saw it for the first time, his bearing and demeanor were already much higher than Xu Qingyan beside him.
Thinking about it, Zhao Junchen smiled and said, "Steward Li should not be polite, I don't know if Lord Shoufu sent you to see me, but what's the matter?" ”
Li Cheng looked up at Xu Qingyan who was waiting on the side, and saw that Zhao Junchen did not mean to let Xu Qingyan avoid for the time being, knowing that Xu Qingyan was Zhao Junchen's cronies, so he no longer covered it up, took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Qingyan on the side.
After Xu Qingyan handed over the secret letter to Zhao Junchen, Li Chengcai said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao, according to the meaning of my master, now that the shape of the temple has been decided, all plans have been prepared, and it is ready to go, and your body should also be taken care of and return to the temple."
"Oh?" Zhao Junchen chuckled and opened the secret letter, and while examining it carefully, he said casually: "I'm already in the time to recover?" ”
Regarding Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Li Cheng didn't say much, just hung his head and waited for Zhao Junchen's reply.
After Zhao Junchen finished reading the secret letter, his expression was strange, and he seemed to sigh vaguely.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Junchen slowly spoke: "You go back and talk to Lord Shoufu and say that I have been idle these days, and my body and mind are lazy, and I want to rest for a while, until half a month later, that is, before the start of the spring festival, I will not return to the temple. Now that the plan has been made and the preparations are in place, the next thing will make no difference with me or not. I'll just go back and watch the show. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Li Cheng, who has always been introverted, couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise and asked, "My lord really doesn't plan to make a comeback?" Now that the time has come, aren't you going to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally? ”
Zhao Junchen waved his hand and smiled: "There is Lord Shoufu, Huang Ge Lao and Shen Ge Lao here, there is no more than me, no less than me, there is no difference whether I am personally involved or not, I trust a few seniors to think that even if there is no me, they will be able to deal with it properly." ”
Li Cheng was silent for a moment and then bowed to Zhao Junchen and said: "Since the adults have made up their minds, the villain will repay my lord with the original words of the adults, but I still hope that the adults will think twice, according to my lord's intentions, it is better to advance and retreat together at this time." ”
When Li Cheng left, Zhao Junchen picked up the secret letter from Zhou Shangjing again and read it carefully.
Then, there was a sigh.
This secret letter was written by Zhou Shangjing to inform Zhao Junchen of the progress of the plan, which described in detail all the disasters caused by the preparations for the southern tour from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River in various places along the way, under the auspices of the crown prince Zhu Hepu.
To put it simply, all these lifelike harms, disasters to the country and the people, and the high losses of the people are far beyond Zhao Junchen's original imagination, after all, he still underestimated the reckless behavior of the local officials in the Ming Dynasty today.
Although the prince's party is still ignorant, in fact, because of the preparation and arrangement of the southern tour and the actions of the local government, the people are now full of complaints. Even under the persecution of the government, there have been many tragedies of broken families and displaced people.
According to Zhou Shangjing's plan, soon, such public resentment and resentment will converge in the capital, explode, and point the finger at the crown prince Zhu Hepu.
Although such a plan "was originally planned by Zhao Junchen himself, and was one of the main promoters, although Zhao Junchen was planning, he had already been conscious and prepared, but thinking of the miserable scenes of the people today, Zhao Junchen still couldn't help but feel a little related.
After all, he himself was one of the main responsible people for these civil tragedies.
Although there is not much left, Zhao Junchen still has some "conscience" after all.
Therefore, although he knew that his comeback at this time would increase the blow to the prince's party and share some benefits afterwards, because he didn't know what kind of mood he should use to face the upcoming public grievances and anger, Zhao Junchen still subconsciously didn't want to continue to participate.
"The mentality is still not good after all, obviously I have already been mentally prepared, but when the matter comes, I still don't dare to face it in person, I can't be like Zhou Shangjing, who only has interests in their eyes, but there is no ...... of good and evil", just between Zhao Junchen's secret thoughts, Xu Qingyan already felt that Zhao Junchen's feelings were a little wrong, and asked: "Young master, what are you thinking?" ”
Zhao Junchen said leisurely: "I have heard a remark before, saying that if a lion leads a group of sheep, the sheep will also develop a lion-like xìng son, brave and bloodthirsty. If a sheep leads a group of lions, the lions will also develop the sheep's xìngzi, cowardice and timidity. The sheep led by the lion can easily defeat the lion led by the sheep. ”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Originally, I thought that such remarks were quite reasonable, but now it seems that a lion is a lion, a sheep is a sheep, and a sheep leads a group of lions, or a lion leads a group of sheep, where can I change the nature of sheep and lions?" Lions get along with sheep, and sheep are destined to be eaten. It's like a corrupt official and a clean official, a clean official leads a group of corrupt officials, and only the corrupt officials below will be rectified, but a corrupt official leads a group of clean officials, maybe they will pull all the clean officials below into the water, and eventually join forces ......", Zhao Junchen's words, the argument of the lion and the sheep in front, Xu Qingyan seems to understand whether he understands or not, but the argument between the clean officials and the corrupt officials in the back, Xu Qingyan understands very quickly.
Therefore, Xu Qingyan said as a matter of course: "This is nature, greed is the foundation of human beings, although there are countless people in the world, but after all, they are obedient to nine out of ten, and there are very few people who have the perseverance and determination to resist this one, otherwise where are there so many corrupt officials in this world?" ”
Hearing Xu Qingyan say this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned.
Such philosophical words are not like Xu Qingyan can say.
Turning his head to look at Xu Qingyan, seeing Xu Qingyan's natural look, Zhao Junchen was stunned.
For a villain like Xu Qingyan, these seemingly profound words are just the most superficial truth in the eyes of villains.
And the most obvious truth is often the most unquestionable truth, even if such truth only exists in the eyes of villains.
After shaking his head and laughing, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked, "Qingyan, how much silver is available in our mansion now?" ”
Xu Qingyan secretly calculated for a while, and said, "There are always more than one million taels, young master, do you want to use silver?" ”
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "Take out 100,000 taels of silver, part of which is in the name of 'Yuerong Fang', to open some porridge shacks and free medical halls in various parts of Zhili, if I expect it to be good, then there will be homeless people who will come to the capital to sue the emperor, whether it is out of sī or out of their own hearts, they must always let these homeless people live." The other part is for people to take, along the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, in the south of the majesty Xià tour through various places, to find a way to relieve the damaged people, this time we have done a lot of evil, although there is some hypocrisy, but if it can be remedied, it is better to remedy it. ”
Just when Zhao Junchen was thinking about contradictory thoughts and planning to do something to make amends to comfort his little remaining conscience, Li Cheng had already returned to Zhou Shangjing's mansion.
In the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Shangjing was not the only one, Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao were also there, and the three of them were discussing something.
After listening to Li Cheng's confession, before Zhou Shangjing could say anything, Shen Changmao already snorted coldly and said, "What the hell is this Zhao Junchen doing?" If you don't come back when it's time to make a comeback, hide on the sidelines and watch the show, do you still want to treat a few of us as pawns and charge into battle for him? ”
Huang Yourong seemed to smile and said, "I'm afraid that Junchen is afraid that he will come back at this time, and then attack the crown prince Zhu Heyi with us, will be suspected by His Majesty, right?" Junchen was a little too careful sometimes. ”
Shen Changmao said coldly: "If you are too responsible, how can you achieve the climate in the future." ”
Zhou Shangjing sighed slowly and said softly: "That's it, whether there is him or not, the plan must continue." In fact, Junchen chose to avoid it at this time, he can't go against His Majesty's meaning now, if His Majesty forces him to support Prince Zhu Hepu at that time, we will have more resistance. ”
After a pause, Zhou Shangjing said again: "Since Junchen only plans to watch the play, then let's let him watch the play." Let's do what we do. ”
"First of all, the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Shen Changmao sneered: "Since the Metropolitan Procuratorate was controlled by the crown prince, it has caused us a lot of trouble, and now it is time to repay them." ”
With the three pavilion elders making a final statement, the center of the capital, the storm began.
