Su Changzhen is the governor of Nanzhili and a second-class member of the court, so Zhao Junchen will naturally not slack off and personally go out of the house to greet him.

After the meeting, Zhao Junchen welcomed Su Changyi into the room to entertain him, and he didn't mention all the polite words in his mouth.

It's just that when the two of them were polite, Zhao Junchen was still thinking about Zhou Shangjing's affairs in his heart, and he was inevitably a little absent-minded, but it made Su Changzhen see some clues.

So, Su Changyi asked with a smile: "I see that Lord Zhao is a little distracted, but what is the difficulty?" ”

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, and found that he had neglected Su Changzhen a little, but he smiled apologetically: "Thank you Governor Su for your concern, in fact, it is not a big deal, but some time ago I was just staring at some benefits in my eyes, and I didn't think about things in the long run. ”

According to Zhou Shangjing, in addition to Zhou Shangjing himself, Su Changjing, the governor of Nanzhili, and Jiang Bin, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, also participated in the concealment of the Suzhou Rebellion.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen was sure that Su Changyi would definitely be able to understand the deep meaning of his words at this time.

However, to Zhao Junchen's surprise, Su Changyi did not follow the topic to talk deeply, but sighed: "There are often eight or nine things that people are not happy with, although we are members of the court, we can't always take advantage of the benefits, and under the pressure of the form, it is inevitable to do things for free...... However, Lord Zhao, when you are doing errands, if there is a place where you need the help of the old man. Just come to the old man, the old man will do his best and never push. ”

Hearing Su Changyi's statement. Zhao Junchen was surprised in his heart, but he only felt that Su Changyi's attitude was a little weird. It seems that he is not very dedicated to the affairs of Suzhou, and he looks like "success is meaningless, failure is not hindered".

However, Zhao Junchen did not continue to test before thinking about it clearly, but just smiled: "Since this is the case, I thank Governor Su for his kindness, and if there is trouble in the future, I hope Governor Su will not be annoyed." ”

"Where, where, I hit it off with Lord Zhao at first sight. It is also necessary to support each other. After Su Changyi said a few words with a smile, he suddenly changed his words and asked: "Speaking of which, the Southern Patrol fleet will stay in Xuzhou for a day and a half, for us accompanying ministers, if there is no call from His Majesty tomorrow, there will be a whole day of leisure, but I don't know what arrangements you have for tomorrow, Lord Zhao?" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said, "I don't know if His Majesty will summon himself to accompany him." So there's nothing to do yet. ”

Su Changjian said: "If His Majesty doesn't summon Lord Zhao to accompany him tomorrow, Lord Zhao may be able to let the little girl Xiuning accompany her to play in Xuzhou City for a day. Xiuning's mother is from Xuzhou, she has also lived in Xuzhou for a period of time, and she is familiar with the environment of Xuzhou. If the little girl Xiuning leads Lord Zhao, you can also have some fun during the play. ”

Hear Su Changyi's construction. After Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he felt that if he refused, he would inevitably lose Su Changzhen's face. Then he nodded and agreed: "If Your Majesty doesn't arrange it tomorrow, the junior will trouble Miss Su." ”

Su Changyi saw that Zhao Junchen agreed, but he looked happy, and said again and again: "Since this is the case, then it is decided, if Your Majesty does not summon Lord Zhao to accompany him tomorrow, I will let the little girl find Lord Zhao to travel to Xuzhou together." ”

Next, after Su Changyi said a few more gossips to Zhao Junchen, he said goodbye and left.

It turned out that Su Changzhen met with Zhao Junchen this time just to arrange for Zhao Junchen and Su Xiuning to visit Xuzhou City together!

After sending Su Changzhen away, Zhao Junchen carefully recalled Su Changzhen's attitude, and after a long time, he finally guessed Su Changzhen's general thoughts!

Unlike Zhou Shangjing, who is cautious and does not leave a handle, Su Changyi's official reputation is quite disastrous, and he is not so restrained when he does things, I don't know how many things he has done over the years, such as corruption and bribery, and abuse of power for personal gain, and I don't know how many imperial historians have been impeached and reported.

It's just that Emperor Deqing's attitude towards corrupt officials in the court is like raising fattening pigs, just waiting for enough fat to be slaughtered, which can not only increase internal income, but also use this to calm down public anger, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

And Emperor Deqing's attitude towards Su Changyi, naturally will not be an exception, although the imperial historians have impeached Su Changzhen countless times over the years, but Emperor Deqing did not punish, but left the impeachment excerpt in the middle, only waited until Su Changzhen was "fat" enough, and then took out all these impeachment excerpts in one breath as evidence of the crime, and finally Su Changzhen naturally could not escape the palm of Emperor Deqing's hand.

In fact, it was with these impeachment excerpts that Emperor Deqing forced Su Changyi to take his daughter Su Xiuning to meet Zhao Junchen on a blind date.

Therefore, for Su Changyi, although it is strict to conceal the matter of the Suzhou Rebellion, the rest of his crimes are also bad, and the hidden dangers of Suzhou are not itchy when there are more lice and more debts, but not as worried and anxious as Zhou Shangjing.

According to Zhao Junchen's speculation, when Emperor Deqing forced Su Changzhen to take his daughter Su Xiuning to meet Zhao Junchen on a blind date, he must have given some promises - such as "If Su Changzhen marries Zhao Junchen, then Emperor Deqing will not pursue Su Changchen's past crimes for the time being" Yunyun.

Therefore, for Su Changyi, marrying his daughter Su Xiuning to Zhao Junchen and marrying Zhao Junchen is his top priority at present, if this matter is finally successful, then according to Emperor Deqing's original guarantee, even if the matter in Xuzhou is discovered in the future, Su Changzhen can temporarily protect himself.

In this way, Su Changzhen naturally didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Suzhou, but instead tried to match Zhao Junchen and Su Xiuning.

…………

Although he understood Su Changchen's position and attitude, Zhao Junchen still frowned slightly, and kept thinking in his heart.

Emperor Deqing's original promise to Su Changchen seemed to be to force Su Changzhen to agree to marry Zhao Junchen, but now, considering the matter in Suzhou, Zhao Junchen feels that this matter may not be so simple.

"Perhaps, Emperor Deqing gave Su Changzhen such a promise, just to shake Su Changjing's position and determination, so as to divert Su Changzhen's attention, so that Su Changzhen is no longer so attentive to the hidden dangers of Suzhou, and Emperor Deqing can finally use Su Changzhen to find Zhou Shangjing's flaws!"

When Zhao Junchen thought of this, his eyes flashed, and he only felt that his guess was very possible.

"However, if I can guess such a situation, then with Zhou Shangjing's foresight, I must also be able to guess! In this way, what is Zhou Shangjing's position and opinion on Su Changjing? Maybe ......"

Between dark thoughts, Zhao Junchen's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked like he was thinking hard, only to feel that his mind was a little insufficient.

These days, Zhao Junchen has been accustomed to opponents like Wen Guanliang, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, and then suddenly participated in the struggle between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing at such a level, Zhao Junchen found that he was a little unaccustomed!

Whether it is Zhou Shangjing or Emperor Deqing, their scheming, city government, means, and vision are far more than Zhao Junchen's former opponents, and the open and secret battles between each other are more obscure and more dangerous, and they are all early layout and planning, but it is Zhao Junchen, until now that he has discovered some traces of the battle between the two.

However, although it is embarrassing to realize it in hindsight, it is much better than not realizing it.

And this open and secret battle between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing is also a good learning opportunity for Zhao Junchen.

Just as Zhao Junchen continued to consider the layout of Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, Xu Qingyan suddenly pushed the door in again and reported: "Young master, someone is asking to see you again, this time it is Chen Zhirong, the daughter of Jing Guogong." ”

Although Chen Zhirong blended into the team of the Southern Tour, she was quite safe along the way and never disturbed Zhao Junchen, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly ask to see her at this time.

Zhao Junchen thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let her in." ”

A moment later, under the leadership of Xu Qingyan, Chen Zhirong entered the room.

Then, after greeting each other, Chen Zhirong asked directly in a coquettish voice: "Lord Zhao, do you have leisure tomorrow?" If it's okay, can you play in Xuzhou City with Zhirong? ”
