"By the way, do you know Zhao Shancai, a talented man in Jiangnan? I heard that he was born in the Jiangnan clan, and his surname is also Zhao, but what does it have to do with the clan?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Zhao Deqing's expression flashed a little complicated, and it seemed that envy and jealousy coexisted.
After hesitating for a moment, with a little reluctance, Zhao Deqing explained: "Then there is a slight blood relationship between Zhao Shancai and our family, but that was six or seven generations ago, and he belongs to a distant relative who can't be beaten by eight poles, and the Suzhou-Hangzhou Zhao family where he is located, and our Yangzhou Zhao family, in recent years, have been less and less, so about this matter, the two families are rarely mentioned."
Speaking of this, Zhao Deqing cautiously looked at Zhao Junchen's face, and asked, "I don't know why you suddenly mentioned Zhao Shancai, a descendant?"
On the other side, Zhao Deshun was also full of nervousness and worry, watching Zhao Junchen's expression change, waiting for Zhao Junchen's answer.
Without him, the Suzhou-Hangzhou Zhao family and the Yangzhou Zhao family, although they are both Jiangnan clans and have some blood relations, they are not used to each other. The Suzhou and Hangzhou Zhao families disliked the Yangzhou Zhao family and had a bad reputation for doing things, while the Yangzhou Zhao family thought that the Suzhou and Hangzhou Zhao families were hypocritical and pretentious. In this case, the connection and friendship between the two families will naturally gradually become estranged.
But it is irrefutable that the folk prestige, family style and upbringing, and the talent of the younger generations of the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou are much stronger than the Zhao family in Yangzhou today.
If the Yangzhou Zhao family is only a tyrannical local wealthy family in the eyes of the officials and people in Jiangnan, then today's Suzhou and Hangzhou Zhao families have become one of the few scholarly families in Jiangnan. It is also more respected.
Especially when it comes to the younger generation of the two families, the gap is even bigger, and the juniors who followed Zhao Deqing and them to Beijing are already considered to be the few talents in the next generation of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, such as Zhao Xuancheng's head. Another example is that Zhao Xuantong's knowledge is quite good, but compared with Zhao Shancai of the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is undoubtedly the difference between cloud and mud.
Therefore, whether it is Zhao Deqing or Zhao Deshun, they are unwilling to let Zhao Junchen know the relationship between the two families, for fear that Zhao Junchen will abandon the Yangzhou Zhao family. Instead, he contacted the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
After all, even if it is just a distant relative who can't beat the eight poles, it is still a distant relative after all, and Zhao Junchen still has some resentment towards the Zhao family in Yangzhou.
…………
On the other hand, Zhao Junchen ignored these careful thoughts. just nodded and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I've only seen that Zhao Shan a few times, and it's rare to cherish others, and I've always wanted to take it for my own use, but unfortunately that Zhao Shancai didn't appreciate it, but wanted to join my political enemies in the court, which made me feel a little sorry."
Hear Zhao Junchen's explanation. Zhao Deqing and Zhao Deshun were both overjoyed, understanding that the Suzhou and Hangzhou Zhao family and Zhao Junchen were afraid that they would not be able to go together.
It's just that although Zhao Deqing was happy in his heart, he looked angry, patted the table in front of him, and said angrily: "This Zhao Shancai really doesn't know how to lift!" It's just that your own family doesn't help your own family! I still want to go to your political enemies in the court.9 Please rest assured, after I return to Yangzhou, I will immediately contact the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou to explain the matter. Let the elders of the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou discipline Zhao Shancai well! ”
After a pause, Zhao Deqing looked embarrassed again, and then said: "However, now the relationship between our clan and the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou has become a lot more estranged. The Su Hangzhou Zhao family has always been pretentious, hypocritical, benevolent, and righteous, I'm afraid that even if I tell them, they won't necessarily listen, so I hope you don't expect too much. ”
On the other side, Zhao Deshun also nodded again and again, and said: "My lord, although Zhao Shancai and us are barely distant relatives, but after all, the relationship is estranged and dispensable, since he doesn't know how to lift, then you don't have to care about him, if you want me to say, although Zhao Shancai claims to be the 'first talent in Jiangnan', but the juniors in our clan are not bad, and if you have the experience of Guozijian in the future, it may not be worse than that Zhao Shancai, and you will definitely be able to help adults." And after all, it's my own family, and adults can use it with confidence. ”
Zhao Junchen nodded undeniably, but did not answer, but asked thoughtfully: "What did you just say...... The Suzhou and Hangzhou Zhao family is hypocritical and pretentious, and this family must be quite pretending to be famous. But a huge family has a large population, and it is impossible for every member of the clan to be like this. I'm afraid that in the Suhang Zhao family, there will always be one or two alternative clansmen, right?"
Zhao Deqing was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "As the adults said, as far as I know, among the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is a person named Zhao Boren, who is Zhao Shancai's second uncle, and his style of acting is very different from that of the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so he is not liked by the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he is quite excluded."
Hearing Zhao Deqing say this, Zhao Junchen suddenly laughed.
"Okay, after you go back, contact this Zhao Boren, no matter what method you use, you must let this Zhao Boren come to Beijing to take refuge in me, and he will get benefits at that time...... However, it is not possible for the Suzhou and Hangzhou Zhao families to know about this, let alone let Zhao Boren completely break off the relationship with the Suzhou and Hangzhou Zhao families. ”
Seeing that Zhao Junchen repeatedly mentioned the Zhao family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and now he can't recruit Zhao Shancai, and he wants to recruit Zhao Shancai's second uncle Zhao Boren, Zhao Deqing can't help but be suspicious.
On the contrary, it was Zhao Deshun, as a lifter, his head was more active after all, and he had vaguely guessed Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and gently kicked Zhao Deqing with his foot, and then assured Zhao Junchen: "Please rest assured, this matter will be handed over to us, and it will be done for adults."
Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "Since you say so, then I will be relieved."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next, Zhao Junchen's attitude towards the Zhao family was finally kinder, and he also asked some about the situation of the Zhao family in Yangzhou in recent years, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became harmonious.
Before you know it, as time passes, this family feast is over.
Before the family banquet dispersed, Zhao Junchen raised his wine glass for the first time and toasted to Zhao Deqing, the head of the Zhao family, and Zhao Deqing hurriedly raised his glass to greet him.
After taking a sip, Zhao Junchen issued an eviction order and said: "I am relieved to know that you have done everything I have explained, but it is rare for you to come to Beijing, and you should have been entertained to play around Beijing, but I think you had better prepare for Yangzhou quickly." Now that the southern tour is imminent, His Majesty has visited the private service in the first few southern tours, and this time I am afraid that it will be no exception, and I will follow His Majesty Xià when the time comes......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen pointed out: "And the beautiful scenery and humanity of Yangzhou are famous all over the world, and if he wants to come to His Majesty, he will definitely go there to have a visit."
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, he understood the meaning of Zhao Junchen's words, although he was ordered to be expelled, Zhao Deqing and others were all overjoyed and agreed again and again.
On the other side, Zhao Deshun heard Zhao Junchen mention Emperor Deqing's "private visit to Weifu", but he suddenly remembered the rumors between the government and the opposition about "Zhao Junchen is the illegitimate son of Emperor Deqing".
Such a question is undoubtedly extremely important to the Zhao family in Yangzhou, so although it was a little embarrassing, Zhao Deshun hesitated for a moment, and then asked Zhao Junchen in a low voice: "My lord, over the years, about the relationship between His Majesty and your lord, there have often been various rumors between the government and the opposition, and His Majesty's last private visit to Weifu during his southern tour happened to be in Yangzhou, and the time when he was pregnant with his cousin and you coincided with your adult...... My lord, you have often been by His Majesty's side over the years, but what are the relevant speculations? And what did he reveal?"
Although Zhao Deshun's voice was low, all the people on the table heard it, and they all pricked up their ears for a while, waiting for Zhao Junchen's answer!
If Zhao Junchen is really the illegitimate son of Emperor Deqing as rumored, then for the Zhao family in Yangzhou, the benefits will be great!
On the other side, hearing Zhao Deshun's inquiry, Zhao Junchen suddenly frowned.
He didn't expect that Zhao Deqing would ask such a stupid question!
