Zhu Hao didn't care about these things that might happen in the future, he only cared that this Hong Chengchou was a talent, and he must not let him fall into the hands of the Manchu Qing again, thinking like this, Zhu Hao suppressed the anger in his heart, replaced it with a pleasant look, and then said: "It turned out to be Lord Hong, Lord Hong is really young and promising, this king is disrespectful, since you want to answer for Cai Tixue, then you can talk about it!" What kind of work mistakes did Cai Tixue make! ”

Hong Chengchou didn't understand why Zhu Hao had a better attitude after he finished his words, but since Zhu Hao asked, he couldn't help but answer, so after Zhu Hao's words were finished, Hong Chengchou opened his mouth and replied: "Compared with His Royal Highness King Xin, the lower officials dare not call themselves young and promising, His Royal Highness asked the lower officials, what are the faults of Lord Tixue, and with all due respect, Lord Tixue has no faults." ”

Zhu Hao listened to Hong Chengchou's perfunctory answer, and scolded in his heart: "You dog traitor, are you amusing Lao Tzu?" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you now, saving you from being a traitor in the future! ”

Zhu Hao thought like this, even if he wanted to ask again, but before Zhu Hao could speak, Hong Chengchou spoke again: "The Holy Lord sent His Royal Highness to Zhejiang to visit the scientific expedition, which is a trust in His Highness, but His Royal Highness was in Zhejiang for the first time, and without verification, he questioned Lord Tixue, and the lower official thought that it was really inappropriate for His Highness to do this, and asked His Highness to think twice!" So as not to chill the hearts of Zhejiang officials! ”

Zhu Hao listened to this Hong Chengchou and educated him, when even if he couldn't hold back his anger, he just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand Hong Chengchou, but Zhu Hao hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Xiao Jingao, the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu, who was sitting next to him, stood up suddenly, and opened his mouth to scold Hong Chengchou and said: "Hong Chengchou, pay attention to your attitude when talking to His Highness, how His Highness does things freely and his proportions, and it is your turn to point fingers!" ”

After Xiao Jingao finished scolding Hong Chengchou, he looked at Zhu Hao again and said: "Your Highness, Hong Cheng is still young, Your Highness should not be concerned with him, you see that we are here to eat and give you a pick-up, the lower officials want not to talk about official affairs at this time, these official affairs should wait for Your Highness, and then talk about them when you go to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division!" ”

This Xiao Jingao seems to be reprimanding Hong Chengchou, but in fact, he is protecting Hong Chengchou, after he said this, even if Zhu Hao was full of anger, he had nowhere to vent.

As soon as Xiao Jingao's words were finished, Zhu Hao scolded in his heart: "He is young? TNND: What the hell, aren't you swearing? Compared with him, Lao Tzu can only be regarded as a child now? Are you saying that he is young, or that Lao Tzu is a little kid, this old thing scolds people without dirty words! Lao Tzu remembered you today! ”

Although Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, he didn't say anything more, because Xiao Jingao had already blamed Hong Chengchou just now, if he blamed Hong Chengchou again, it would be a bit of a bully, this in front of the officials in Zhejiang, Zhu Hao would not do such a cheap thing, and the second half of Xiao Jingao's sentence also pointed out that this is not an office place, which made Zhu Hao even more speechless, and could only scold Xiao Jingao in his heart: "What an old fox who has become a fine!" ”

Zhu Hao let Xiao Jingao's words make him fall into an embarrassing situation where he has no way forward, but fortunately, Zhu Hao's face is thick enough, and he didn't show too much embarrassment, just laughed dryly, and then slowly sat down in his seat, and then said: "What Lord Xiao said makes sense, this king is indeed a little anxious, and it is good to eat and drink well as adults, don't save money for this king!" ”

With Zhu Hao's joke, Chunjiang Tower, which was still a little tense just now, returned to a peaceful atmosphere at this moment, and after everyone was full of wine and food, they got up and left.

Of course, this wine and food are full, I am afraid that among the people present, there is only Zhu Hao, and the rest of the Zhejiang officials, this meal is trembling, walking on thin ice, after the banquet is dispersed, the dishes on many tables have not been touched at all, but a little wine has entered.

Zhu Hao looked at this wasteful scene, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, he called Wei Xiaobao to settle the bill, and then asked Li Shoujun, the political envoy of Youbu, to take their group to Qinchaxingyuan.

On the way to Xingyuan, Zhu Hao chatted with Li Shoujun, chatting and chatting, Zhu Hao suddenly asked Li Shoujun: "Lord Li, you and Lord Xiao are colleagues, you must know Lord Xiao very well, I don't know what kind of person you think Lord Xiao is?" ”

Li Shoujun was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Back to the prince, according to the lower officials, Lord Xiao is a good person, and he never offends people when he does things, and the officials in Zhejiang have a good relationship with Lord Xiao, which is not as good as Lord Xiao, I am deeply admired, but I ......"

When Li Shoujun said the word "just", he paused for a moment, and then stopped talking, Zhu Hao directly took over the words and said: "It's just that this kind of person is too tactful as an official, easy to indulge his subordinates, and breed corruption!" Although he is a good person, it is difficult to be a good official! Right? ”

Li Shoujun listened to Zhu Hao's words, bowed to Zhu Hao and said: "Your Highness, the lower official didn't say anything, according to the lower official, Lord Xiao can be regarded as a good official for the country and the people!" ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he shook his head and said, "Okay, don't cover for him anymore, this king knows it in his heart!" Lord Xiao is old, and the future of Zhejiang, this king will all depend on you, Lord Li! Zhu Hao said and sighed slightly.

The meaning of Zhu Hao's words is very straightforward, that is, to tell Li Shoujun that he wants to take down Xiao Jingao, and there will only be Li Shoujun as the political envoy of Zhejiang in the future.

Li Shoujun has been in the officialdom for many years, so he was naturally able to understand Zhu Hao's simple words, and hurriedly spoke: "Xiaguan thanks the prince for his trust, but Xiaguan is afraid that his ability is shallow and he will not be entrusted by the court!" ”

Zhu Hao waved his hand when he heard this, and then said: "Lord Xiao, don't be presumptuous, this king is very optimistic about you, and when this happens, this king will definitely protect you to the royal brother, but now that this king has just arrived in Zhejiang, there are a lot of troubles, and I will need a lot of assistance from Lord Li in the future!" ”

When Li Shoujun heard this, he understood that Zhu Hao wanted him to repay the favor, so he hurriedly replied: "Xiaguan Xie Wang Ye cultivates, the prince is in Zhejiang, what can be used to get the lower official, and please ask the prince to instruct that the lower official will do his best to help the prince and complete the things explained by the saint as soon as possible!" ”

Zhu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then he didn't say anything, and the group came to Qincha's Xingyuan, the so-called Qincha Xingyuan is actually a more exquisite three-entry mansion.

This mansion is very satisfied with Zhu Hao, who has no requirements for living in it, he nodded with a smile, and said to Li Shoujun: "It's good here, this king is very satisfied, Lord Li has a heart!" ”

Li Shoujun listened to Zhu Hao say that he was very satisfied, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Your Highness is satisfied!" Servants and subordinates have been assigned in this courtyard, if Your Highness has anything to do, just tell them to do it, if there is nothing else, the lower officials will not disturb His Highness to rest, and retire first! ”

Zhu Hao heard that Li Shoujun was leaving, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Li, you inform the officials in Zhejiang that tomorrow the king will be the director of the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, so that they must be here!" ”

After Li Shoujun finished saying Zhu Hao's words, he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the lower officials will definitely handle this matter, and tomorrow, the hundred officials of Zhejiang will definitely welcome the prince in the Yamen!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Li Shoujun's words, nodded with satisfaction, and then Li Shoujun said goodbye and left.

After Li Shoujun left, Zhu Hao asked Wei Xiaobao to settle everything, and he was in the main hall of the Qin Mission, sipping fragrant tea in a good way, not how idle Zhu Hao was at the moment, but how difficult everything was at the beginning, Zhu Hao was still thinking at the moment, where should he start this trip, so as to find out this fraud case as soon as possible.

Zhu Hao, who was thinking quietly, remembered the scene of today's contact with hundreds of officials in Zhejiang, and was thinking about who could be used by him, Wei Xiaobao, who had settled everything, walked into the room and said to Zhu Hao with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, are you tired?" The minions have settled everything, and His Highness can now bathe and change his clothes and rest early. ”

Zhu Hao was interrupted by Wei Xiaobao's words, and then felt that Wei Xiaobao's words today were a little abnormal, so he said: "You slave, do you have something to say to this king?" Don't sell it, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, don't you know what this king hates the most? Why did you come to Zhejiang and learn the twists and turns of those officials?"

Wei Xiaobao was embarrassed by Zhu Hao's words, lowered his head embarrassedly, and then snorted and said: "Well, the slave has nothing to do, it's that Qin Xiucai, he said that he had something to see His Highness, and the slave was afraid that His Highness would be tired all the way, so he ......."

When Zhu Hao heard this, he directly interrupted Wei Xiaobao's words, and then said, "What's the matter with him?" Let him come in to the king! This king's body is not so weak and does not need to rest! In the future, if you have something to say in front of this king, you will speak directly, and then play clever with this king, and this king will send you to the edict of Jinyiwei for a few days! ”

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he remembered all kinds of legends of Jinyiwei, thinking of his master, who came out of a coma from Jinyiwei's edict, and then thought about his identity and his small body, he must be in Jinyiwei's edict, and he couldn't live for three days, thinking like this, Wei Xiaobao shuddered, and then said again and again: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave really doesn't dare, Your Highness don't send the slave to Jinyiwei!" ”

Zhu Hao looked at Wei Xiaobao and heard Jin Yiwei's edict, and he was afraid of being like this, which made him feel a little funny.
