Chapter 262. Chan Tsz Rong's petition (II).
……
Zhao Junchen is not a person who loves to kill, at least so far, although Zhao Junchen has been constantly fighting and his political enemies are not counted, he has never moved the mind of "destroying the enemy physically".
This is not only for the reason of being a person, but also an unspoken rule in the temple.
You must know that above the temple, there are always changes, yesterday's allies may become mortal enemies today, and today's mortal enemies may be allies tomorrow.
What's more, if the court officials often use assassinations, assaults and other means, today you send someone to give him cold arrows, and tomorrow he sends someone to poison your food, everyone is unable to prevent it, I am afraid that it will not be long before there are few people left in the Manchu Dynasty, and when they get there, it will affect the stability of the government and the opposition, and ultimately affect the interests of everyone.
Therefore, including Zhao Junchen, they will not regard killing people as a clever means, and they will not use it unless they are forced to do so - even if they use it, it will be quiet, and they will never let others know, otherwise they will only be hostile to everyone.
However, at this time, Zhao Junchen, after hearing Chen Zhirong's words, really moved to kill!
…………
It is not a secret that there is a shrewd and powerful lady Ruyi in Zhao Junchen's mansion, whose name is Fang Ru;
This Fang Ru is quite valued and reused by Zhao Junchen, not only all the affairs in the house, as well as all the businesses under her name, are all handed over to her to take care of, and even when Zhao Junchen went to Lu'an Mansion for disaster relief, the household department was unpresiding. All kinds of account receipts and expenditures also need to be reviewed by Fang Ru on his behalf...... All of this is no secret either.
However. Except for a few three or five people, no one knew that Fang Ru was also helping Zhao Junchen manage the affairs of Tongji Temple!
But now, it is obvious that Chen Zhirong not only knows the relationship between Zhao Junchen and Tongji Temple, knows the role of Tongji Temple to Zhao Junchen, but also knows that Zhao Junchen handed over the affairs of Tongji Temple to Fang Ru to manage!
Therefore, in Zhao Junchen's heart, he was irrepressibly murderous against the charming woman in front of him!
Because. Tongji Temple is so sensitive!
Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of careerists using religion to deceive the people and rebel, and the teachings of Tongji Temple. There are also some nondescript and easy to be regarded as a cult, so if the relationship between Zhao Junchen and Tongji Temple is known by others, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the court. Until that time. I'm afraid that even Emperor Deqing will be secretly suspicious of Zhao Junchen, and it will never be as simple as "beating" again.
Originally, after Zhao Junchen was in Lu'an Mansion for disaster relief, although he bought Zhang Daoquan and let Zhang Dao come to the capital to establish the Tongji Temple, citing his own help in the opposition, he only held the idea of "planting widely and harvesting thinly" and "doing it easily". I think that if Tongji Temple can bring some help to itself, it is certainly a good thing. But if it doesn't bring benefits, or even brings a lot of harm to yourself, it's easy to get rid of the relationship, and it's a sure-fire deal, with little investment, but there may be surprises.
It can be said that at the very beginning, Zhao Junchen did not attach importance to Tongji Temple, and the relationship between the two sides was not close.
Later, because Zhao Junchen had too many things in his hands, Tongji Temple never had any effect, so he handed over the affairs of Tongji Temple to Fang Ru for management.
However, Zhao Junchen still underestimated Fang Ru's ability as a pillow man after all, and even ignored Fang Ru's determination to prove himself to Zhao Junchen at that time!
After the Tongji Temple was handed over to Fang Ru for management, in just a few months, not only did its influence in the people greatly expand, it was extremely convenient and easy to use for Zhao Junchen to collect intelligence, buy dark lines, and contact with each other.
In this way, Zhao Junchen paid more and more attention to the Tongji Temple at the same time, naturally increased the investment and support for the Tongji Temple, and at the same time of investment and support, it was gradually inevitable that the relationship with the Tongji Temple became closer and deeper.
In this world, there are always two sides to things, there are advantages and disadvantages, and this truth is most vividly reflected in Tongji Temple.
These days, Zhao Junchen is not unable to see the disadvantages brought by Tongji Temple, but the benefits brought by Tongji Temple are really many, so that Zhao Junchen is difficult to give up at the same time, but also gradually a little deeply involved.
Today, the preservation of Tongji Temple is not only one of Zhao Junchen's biggest secret helps, but also one of the few fatal flaws in Zhao Junchen!
And this fatal flaw was obviously caught by Chen Zhirong.
It's no wonder that Zhao Junchen suddenly made a killing move.
…………
However, although there was a hint of murderous intent in his heart, Zhao Junchen would not take action lightly without figuring out how many people knew about the Tongji Temple except Chen Zhirong.
What's more, many people know the news about Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong meeting here today, and with Zhao Junchen's current identity, he can't blatantly do it himself.
Therefore, after hearing Chen Zhirong's words, the murderous intent in Zhao Junchen's eyes only flashed, and he quickly covered it up, and at the same time showed a puzzled look on his face: "Tongji Temple? I have also heard of this temple, it is a newly built temple in the capital, it is also a Buddha and a witch, the doctrine is that the gods and Buddhas of the sky are the meaning of the world, it is quite inspiring, and there are many miracles after coming to the capital, so these days there has been a lot of momentum, and there are more and more believers, however, this temple has nothing to do with me, how can I listen to Miss Chen, what do you mean, as if this temple is owned by me, and handed over to Fang Ru to take care of? ”
Seeing that it was now Zhao Junchen pretending to be confused, Chen Zhirong smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That's true, it's a big taboo for the senior members of the DPRK and China to secretly make friends with this kind of nondescript religion!" How could an official with a clear conscience like Lord Zhao do such a thing? It was the little woman who lost her words just now, and I hope that Lord Zhao will not be surprised. ”
After a pause, Chen Zhirong said: "As far as I know, this Tongji Temple was originally a witch cult with great influence in Lu'an Mansion, and then during the period when Lord Zhao went to Lu'an Mansion to exterminate locusts, he was quite helpful, so he got a reward from Lord Zhao, although this silver is only a small number for Lord Zhao, but for Tongji Temple, it is a lot of money, so that Tongji Temple is ambitious and came to the capital to develop!" However, in addition, the Tongji Temple has nothing to do with Lord Zhao, after the Tongji Temple came to the capital, although it has always wanted to get closer to Lord Zhao, but Lord Zhao has always believed in Buddhism with His Majesty because of the taboo in the court, so they have all been pushed away. ”
When he said this, Chen Zhirong's expression was stern, but after he finished speaking, he smiled again, blinked his big bright eyes, and explained: "Because I am good at understanding people's hearts and have some talent for analysis and induction, so when Jing Guogong Chen You collects and analyzes intelligence, he is mostly assisted by me, and who is standing behind Jing Guogong, you also know it when you think about Lord Zhao, a few days ago, that person suddenly asked Jing Guogong to investigate the relationship between Lord Zhao and Tongji Temple, and this matter was handled by me...... And in the end, that's what I just did. ”
Hearing Chen Zhirong say this, although Zhao Junchen didn't believe it completely, the trace of murder in his heart also dissipated most of it, and thoughtfully, Zhao Junchen asked Chen Zhirong: "It turns out ...... Are you trying to reassure me with this? ”
"I heard that in the folk grassland, there is a rule, if you want to join the green forest, you must first hand over a letter of nomination to the leader of the green forest, so as to hand over a handle to the leader to show loyalty, and this remark is just a letter of nomination handed over by the little woman to Lord Zhao." Chen Zhirong sighed and said: "If this matter is known by Chen You or that person, and Lord Zhao does not contain me, I am afraid that in this world, there will be no place for a little girl, and when things come to this point, is it possible that Lord Zhao still doesn't believe me?" ”
