Lu Chunxiao, as the right inspector of the Imperial Palace, worships the second grade, and it stands to reason that he is a high-ranking person. However, Lu Chunxiao's mansion in Beijing looks quite simple, with low eaves and black tiles, mottled doors and walls, and the size is only two or three acres, and there are only more than ten houses. Compared with Zhao Junchen's luxuriously renovated mansion that covers an area of 100 acres, it can be said that it is far away, there is a difference between cloud and mud, but it is an honest style.

After coming to the door of Lu Mansion, under Zhao Shancai's instructions, Zhao Mu took out two letters of recommendation from his arms, and then knocked on the door to ask to see him.

Then, someone from the Lu Mansion opened the door to inquire, and after learning that the person who came was actually holding the recommendation letter from the former prince and master He Ming, and the former scholar of Wenhuadian University, Wei Dongcheng, he naturally did not dare to slack off, and first politely asked Zhao Shancai's master and servant to wait for a while, and then hurriedly turned back and went back to report.

It didn't take long for the people of the Nalu Mansion to appear again, and their attitudes became more and more polite and respectful, and they bowed to Zhao Shancai and said, "This son, my lord invites you to enter the mansion to speak." ”

…………

If it is Zhao Junchen's mansion, if you want to walk from the gate to the main hall of Zhao Mansion, it will take a cup of tea, but Lu Chunxiao's mansion is not big, and it takes a few steps to walk from the gate to the main hall of the mansion.

The main hall of Lu Mansion is also simple and simple, and there is not much decoration.

After walking into the main hall, Zhao Shan looked up, but saw that on the main seat of the main hall, there was a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe with a white beard sitting, the middle-aged man's temperament was elegant, but his expression was stern, his eyes were blazing and his expression was resolute, obviously it was the right inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yu Shi Lu Chunxiao.

Zhao Shancai took a few quick steps forward and saluted, "Student Zhao Shancai." I have seen Lord Lu, and I have taken the liberty to visit today, and I hope that Lord Lu will not blame you. ”

Lu Chunxiao didn't answer either. just sat there and looked Zhao Shancai up and down, but saw that Zhao Shancai's expression was calm and respectful, but he could look at himself calmly, and his eyes were pure and bright.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Chunxiao finally smiled, nodded and appreciated: "You are Zhao Shancai, a Jiangnan genius who moved the capital?" It's really terrifying. Even the Elder Master has mentioned you to me. It is said that you have obtained the true inheritance of Mrs. He, which should not be underestimated. In recent days, the situation between the government and the opposition has changed. I was thinking about whether to contact you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to the door, speaking of which, you and I are considered to be peers. No need to be polite. Sit down and talk! ”

Zhao Shancai smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu." ”

After Zhao Shan sat down, Lu Chunxiao's expression suddenly became cautious, and he asked: "I never thought that Zhao Gongzi, you would have a letter of recommendation from the old lady and the scholar of Wei, but you didn't take it out until today, and it was at such a sensitive time, I think there is something important, right?" ”

Zhao Shancai sighed and said, "My lord knows everything. Indeed, students are exam-takers. Now that the test has just ended, and the apricot list has not yet been announced, it is indeed a sensitive time to ask to meet adults at this time. The students originally wanted to wait until the palace examination was over, and then ask to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with these two letters of recommendation, but now that the situation is urgent and the matter is related to His Royal Highness the Prince, they can't care about this. ”

Hearing Zhao Shancai say this, Lu Chunxiao's expression became more and more cautious.

In fact, although there are quite a few officials in the court of the prince's party, Zhao Shancai only asked Lu Chunxiao to see him, but it was also carefully considered.

According to the news obtained by Zhao Shancai, Lu Chunxiao is not only one of the core figures of the prince's party, but also deeply valued by the prince Zhu Heyu, and among the prince's party, Lu Chunxiao is also a rare person who is not pedantic and knows how to be flexible in his actions. The most important thing is that Lu Chunxiao, as a disciple of Xiao Wenruan, understands He Ming's strength the most, and he will not underestimate Zhao Shancai's youth and qualifications.

Therefore, for some of Zhao Shancai's ideas and plans, perhaps only Lu Chunxiao will really pay attention to them.

Now, seeing Lu Chunxiao's cautious face and serious inquiry, without the slightest underestimation, it is obvious that Zhao Shancai's consideration is correct.

On the other side, after Lu Chunxiao heard that the matter was about the prince, his expression became more and more stern, and asked: "Since Zhao Gongzi has won the true inheritance of Old Master He, he must have his own splendid in his chest, if even you feel that the matter is urgent, it must be a big deal, you might as well talk to me in detail." ”

Zhao Shancai asked: "The student heard that now the court has handed over the aftermath of the mistakes in the preparation of the southern tour and the trial of the grievances of the people in various places to the prince, but I don't know if the news is serious?" ”

Lu Chunxiao nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Zhao Shancai asked: "So, according to the adult, this is a good thing?" Or is it a bad thing? ”

When Lu Chunxiao heard Zhao Shancai's inquiry, he couldn't help but be stunned, and replied: "This is naturally a good thing, if the prince calms down the grievances of the people everywhere and deals with the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the people, not only can the damaged prestige be remedied, but also help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince establish prestige between the government and the opposition...... Could it be that Zhao Gongzi, you have other opinions? ”

Zhao Shancai sighed: "The things in this world are treacherous, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the good or bad of a thing is often the most unclear. Many things seem to be good, but if some specific conditions are added, it will become a big disaster, and the prince's current situation is exactly like this! ”

"Please also ask Zhao Gongzi to speak." Lu Chunxiao frowned and asked.

Although he didn't dare to underestimate Zhao Shancai, Lu Chunxiao at this time still felt that Zhao Shancai was alarmist.

Seeing Lu Chunxiao's expression a little disapproving, Zhao Shancai explained in detail: "As the lord said, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dealt with the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various places and calmed down the grievances and dissatisfaction of the people, it would seem to be a good thing to reverse his reputation and increase his prestige, but now there are three more restrictions, which makes this good thing a disaster." ”

"Oh? I don't know what the restrictions are? ”

"The first is the two-month time limit, the second is the participation of the East Factory, and the third is the prince's uprightness."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shancai looked at Lu Chunxiao with blazing eyes and asked: "If what I expected is not bad, the time limit of these two months, as well as the fact that Dongchang will assist the prince in investigating the case, will even hand over this matter to the prince to deal with." It's all driven by Zhao Junchen, right? ”

Lu Chunxiao was stunned again, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slowly and said, "That's true." In the early days of the dynasty, His Majesty asked the hundred officials who should be responsible for the aftermath of the mistakes in the preparations for the southern tour, and Zhao Junchen unexpectedly recommended His Royal Highness the Prince, and the whole court was surprised at that time;

Then, Zhao Junchen announced that His Majesty's southern tour was imminent, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the important task of supervising the country. That's why there was a two-month deadline. Then, in order for the prince to be able to complete the task within the time limit, Zhao Junchen also recommended himself, wanting Xichang to assist the prince in investigating the case. But it was vetoed by His Majesty, and it was handed over to the East Factory to assist......"

Speaking of this, Lu Chunxiao also seemed to notice something, and couldn't help but look pale. Ning said: "I was reminded by you." Now that I think about it, it is not an exaggeration to say that this matter was promoted by Zhao Junchen from beginning to end. ”

Zhao Shancai asked: "So, Lord Lu, do you really think that Zhao Junchen would have such a good heart that he would actually think of helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turn his reputation around?" ”

Lu Chunxiao was silent, but his expression was between them. But it was full of depth, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Zhao Shancai sighed. He explained: "As the student just said, many things seem to be good, but if some special conditions are added, it will become a big disaster! That's exactly what it is today! The mistakes in the preparation of the southern tour, the grievances of the people everywhere, from the north to the south, involved no less than dozens of prefectures, prefectures, and counties! But in just two months, where can it be handled?

In order to complete the task within the time limit, the next case trial will inevitably be fast and strict, and mistakes will inevitably occur during the period. But if that's all there is to it, then that's all, but under the bewitchment of Zhao Junchen, in order for the prince to complete the task within the time limit, he actually sent people from Dongchang to assist the prince......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shancai sighed again and continued to explain: "Since Zhao Junchen was ordered to rebuild the West Factory, the West Factory has made great contributions repeatedly, and the limelight has completely overpowered the East Factory, so how can the East Factory be willing? Now it is bound to be bent on competing for favor with the West Factory! And this time, they assisted the prince in investigating the case, which is a great opportunity for Dongchang to make meritorious contributions!

It's just that Yidong Factory's consistent habit, in order to be able to make more meritorious contributions, will inevitably desperately weave big cases and serious cases, do everything possible to make things bigger, and even make things out of nothing and do not hesitate to frame Zhongliang! However, the prince only has two months to investigate the case, and he has no time to investigate and verify the various cases and criminal evidence found in Dongchang, and the prince is too upright in his heart, and he is bent on eliminating evil, what kind of consequences will be caused by the combination of these three points, Lord Lu? ”

As Zhao Shancai's words fell, Lu Chunxiao's face finally changed greatly!

The tight time limit, Dongchang's greed and deception, coupled with the prince's rigidity and strictness to eliminate evil, the consequences caused by the combination of the three are really terrible when you think about it!

That must be a large number of unjust, false and wrongful cases!

And once these unjust, false and wrongful cases are exposed, then the prince in charge of this matter ......

Thinking of this, Lu Chunxiao stood up abruptly and said with a stern expression: "Thank you Zhao Gongzi for reminding me!" I didn't expect that there was such a hidden danger in this matter, and I know the habits of Dongchang best, Zhao Gongzi, these worries of yours are indeed very likely to be born! If things really go so far, causing a large number of unjust and wrongful cases, then the prince's reputation among the government and the opposition will be completely ruined! ”

…………

On the other hand, seeing that Lu Chunxiao valued his opinion so much, Zhao Shancai was not only not happy, but subconsciously frowned.

Without him, it was Zhao Shancai who didn't expect that although Lu Chunxiao valued his own opinions, he only stared at the reputation of the crown prince Zhu Heyu in his eyes, and did not consider other aspects at all.

In fact, if it was only the reputation of the crown prince Zhu and Yu that was damaged, Zhao Shancai didn't have to worry so much at all, Zhao Shancai, who inherited the emperor's mental skills, didn't pay attention to the good or bad reputation, but just regarded it as true? Objective. The capsule is restored and the nephew is afraid of the pepper a6 谡飧鍪 bei 郏鎍 ongyi control, as long as a little bit of means, it can be completely reversed.

What Zhao Shancai is really worried about is that the crown prince Zhu Heyu in this matter, under the bewitchment and deception of Dongchang, fabricated big and important cases everywhere, and the local wealthy families and scholars were implicated, and then they would offend too many local forces!

The reputation is notorious, and there is still a way to make up for it, but if it offends too many local forces and creates a situation where both sides are fighting endlessly, how can it be remedied?

Before coming to Lu Mansion. Zhao Shancai once explained to Zhao Mu that the biggest advantage and foundation of the crown prince today is not the quality of his reputation. But among all the princes, there is no one to compete with him! In the absence of a better choice, Emperor Deqing can only concentrate on cultivating the crown prince Zhu Heyu!

However, if the crown prince offends too many local forces, coupled with the dissatisfaction of the major factions in the center, the future accession to the throne will cause too much chaos and turmoil, making Emperor Deqing feel that the accession of the crown prince Zhu and Yu will outweigh the losses and affect the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty. and questioned the ability of the crown prince Zhu and Yu to govern the country...... Then Zhu Heyu's position as the crown prince is no longer stable!

It is precisely with this in mind that Zhao Shan is so anxiously worried!

And Zhao Junchen's layout plan. It seems that there is no trace of pushing the boat along the river, but once it is realized, for the prince, it is tantamount to drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle! It will greatly shake the foundation of Prince Zhu and Yu!

But Zhao Shancai didn't expect it. Lu Chunxiao is in the prince's party. is also a rare talent, but he didn't see this at all, and he just stared at Zhu Heyu's reputation!

The prince's virtuous reputation was originally the biggest advantage of the prince's party, but now the prince's party has begun to be dragged down by such a virtuous reputation!

Therefore, Zhao Shancai couldn't help but remind: "Lord Lu, this reputation and public opinion are actually the easiest to control. Something can always be recovered, and you don't need to care. But in this case. The crown prince will also offend a large number of local forces, and these local forces will definitely try their best to oppose the prince's accession to the throne in the future, and the prince's ability to do things will inevitably make His Majesty suspicious, this is the most important place! I hope Lord Lu can think about it more! ”

On the other side, hearing Zhao Shancai say this, Lu Chunxiao was slightly stunned, but he didn't know if he had listened to it, so he just nodded and said: "What Zhao Gongzi said is reasonable, I will write a letter to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your consideration, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just left Beijing today, and it is still too late to think about it!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Zhao Shancai left the Lu Mansion, it was late, and the twilight in the sky was revealed.

And Zhao Mu followed behind Zhao Shancai, thinking back to the conversation between Zhao Shancai and Lu Chunxiao just now, he couldn't help but show admiration, and said: "It's still Gongzi's far-reaching thinking, I didn't expect that there are such hidden dangers in the matter, but Zhao Junchen's layout plan, no matter how clever and concealed, after all, it still can't hide Gongzi's wisdom." And with Childe's reminder, if you want to come to Zhao Junchen's plan layout, the next thing will be in vain! ”

Zhao Shancai didn't look happy, but sighed, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." ”

Zhao Mu was slightly stunned and asked, "Could it be that even with your reminder, there are still variables in this matter?" ”

Zhao Shancai smiled bitterly and said: "The prince is stubborn, and now he is bent on punishing those local corrupt officials who are in the preparation for the southern tour, and these speculations of mine are only words without basis after all, if I can meet His Royal Highness the prince in person, then I still have some permission to convince the prince, but if Lord Lu tells him, even if the prince listens, how can he take it to heart?" Even if he takes it to heart, the prince is inexperienced after all, and now that time is pressing, he can't see clearly Dongchang's deception of him, so this time, the prince is afraid that he will be in trouble again! ”

Zhao Mu was stunned again, and asked, "Isn't what you did today in vain?" ”

Zhao Shancai shook his head again and said: "This is not necessarily, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, but there is a possibility, I have to try it after all, if I can't do it, then when the prince makes a mistake in the future and causes a lot of trouble, he will inevitably think of me for the first time, and I can help the prince solve the trouble, from now on, the prince will definitely be convinced of me, from this point of view, it is also a good thing!" ”

Hearing Zhao Shancai say this, Zhao Mu nodded thoughtfully.

…………

In this way, during the conversation, the master and servant had already left the western district of the capital and came to the prosperous southern district.

I thought that everything had been decided today, but on the way back to the inn, between strolling through the night market, seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Shancai was planning to find some food.

Suddenly, someone behind him shouted, "Isn't this Cousin Shancai?" Cousin Shancai! Cousin Shancai! ”

Hearing someone calling him, he was still called "cousin", Zhao Shancai couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look, but saw a young man in luxurious clothes and a frivolous expression, walking quickly.

This person seemed to be extremely familiar with Zhao Shancai, but Zhao Shancai couldn't remember the identity and name of this person for a while, but he looked a little familiar, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

As the saying goes, "people with the same surname were one family five hundred years ago", and the surname "Zhao" is a big surname in the south of the Yangtze River, and many people with the same surname have a near or distant kinship.

And Zhao Shancai was born in the Suzhou and Hangzhou clans in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is only cousins within three generations of blood, there are no less than dozens of them, and if he brings those distant relatives who can only fight with eight poles, the specific number is probably countless!

Therefore, Zhao Shancai didn't know the young man in front of him who called himself "cousin", but he felt that the other party looked frivolous and full of condescension, and he subconsciously disliked it in his heart.

As for these things, Zhao Mu still remembered them clearly, and reminded Zhao Shancai softly: "Son, this person is the third son of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, named Zhao Xuancheng, and we have some weak blood relationship. ”

"Yangzhou Zhao family?"

After hearing Zhao Mu's reminder, Zhao Shancai frowned again.

The Zhao family in Yangzhou is also a big family, but its reputation is not very good, and there are often some rumors of bullying men and women.

Despite this, when Zhao Xuancheng walked in front of Zhao Shancai, Zhao Shancai still bowed politely and said: "It turned out to be the third son of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, I never thought that you would also arrive in the capital, and you met in another country, and you really had a fate." ”

Zhao Xuancheng is different from Zhao Shancai, although he is also from a big family, he is only a small person in the family, and even Zhao Shancai doesn't remember that he has such a distant relative.

However, for some reason, Zhao Xuancheng at this time was full of pride, and when he saw Zhao Shancai, he still remembered himself, and his pride became even stronger.

"Haha, you might as well tell your cousin that I came to Beijing with my father to visit relatives!" With some impatient show-offs, Zhao Xuancheng said proudly.

"Oh, the Yangzhou Zhao family also has a branch in the capital?" Zhao Shancai didn't care, just asked casually with some perfunctory.

Hearing Zhao Shancai's inquiry, Zhao Xuancheng was even more excited and proud, and said: "Hehe, it can't be said that it is a separation, people are now a hot big man in the court, and it is not certain who will divide the family in the future, but the adult had some disputes and grievances with the clan back then, and he has never been in contact with each other again, so we are also keeping it a secret, for fear that it will attract people's dislike."

But after all, it's still a family, the adult sent someone to contact the clan a few years ago, and he wanted to repair the relationship, this great thing, even the patriarch didn't dare to slack off, and not long after the New Year, he personally brought several elders of the clan to Beijing, and my father was among them, so even I came with me......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xuancheng asked again in a tricky show-off: "Cousin Shancai, you might as well guess, who is this adult who is close to us?" ”

Hearing Zhao Xuancheng's inquiry, Zhao Shancai smiled and said: "There are many high-ranking officials surnamed Zhao in Beijing, but ......"

Halfway through the words, Zhao Shan suddenly looked strange after thinking of some rumors in the officialdom.
