Although Zhao Junchen wants to win over Huang Yourong, he will not fully trust Huang Yourong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, after Huang Yourong was appointed as the minister of the Qin Mission, Zhao Junchen also arranged for Gu Quan to go to Nanzhili together, not only for assistance, but also for monitoring, in addition, Zhao Junchen also needed Gu Quan to help him deal with some things that Huang Yourong was inconvenient to know.

In this way, Huang Yourong did not attend the luncheon of the Zhao Mansion, but was in the hands of Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen could also take the opportunity of the luncheon to tell Gu Quan some things.

Compared with Wanguan's family wealth, Zhao Junchen's lunch is a little shabby, just ordinary home-cooked dishes, a total of five dishes and one soup, a small square table can be all set, this is because there are guests today, Zhao Junchen's food is usually simpler.

However, although the dishes were simple, Gu Quan's expression was still a little excited when he sat down.

You must know that even the core figures of the "Zhao Party", such as the elder Zuo Lanshan, the university scholar Huo Zhengyuan, and the household servant Zhan Shanchang, rarely have the opportunity to dine with Zhao Junchen alone, and Gu Quan's status in the "Zhao Party" is only in the second line, so such opportunities are not common.

For Gu Quan, this is a great opportunity, if he can take the opportunity to get Zhao Junchen's appreciation, then his future will be bright - with Zhao Junchen's current powerful position, as long as he has the heart, it is really simple to support a certain official, this only needs to look at Chen Dongxiang, who is now proud of the spring breeze.

However, it was precisely because he was too excited, so when Gu Quan was eating with Zhao Junchen, his performance was a little unbearable, a pair of eyes only stared at Zhao Junchen's change in demeanor, his buttocks were just lightly dipped in the chair, waiting for Zhao Junchen's lecture at any time, his mind was not on eating at all, and the chopsticks that were holding the dishes were almost inserted into his nose.

After the banquet, Zhao Junchen had just eaten two bites of food, and when he saw Gu Quan's appearance, he sighed lightly in his heart, and decided not to delay any longer and directly tell Gu Quan about things, otherwise this meal would not be at ease.

I saw Zhao Junchen put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Gu Quan: "The food is a little simple, which makes Master Gu smile." It's just that the official has always been dislike extravagance and waste, and he has never been very particular about eating. But today, Lord Gu is a guest, but he can't be inconsiderate, if Lord Gu doesn't like it, the official can also order the cook to add a few more dishes. ”

On the other side, Gu Quan also hurriedly put down his chopsticks, looked like he was sitting upright, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, where are you, it is already a great honor for the lower officials to be able to accompany you to dine together, where do you dare to have other extravagant requests." Besides, these dishes are enough, and adding more is a waste, in fact, the lower officials still need to learn from you, and try to avoid extravagance and waste in the future. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile, and no longer went around in circles, and said directly: "This official arranged for you to go to Nanzhili with Huang Yourong, but there are some things I want you to do, after all, Huang Yourong is not his own person, and many things cannot be relied on him, so he can only feel at ease by letting his own people do it." ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen mentioned the word "own person" several times in a row, with a look of heart-to-heart, Gu Quan only felt flattered, and hurriedly said: "The lower officials must do their best, my lord, just ask me." ”

Zhao Junchen didn't speak immediately, but picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Gu Quan with his own hands, Gu Quan hurriedly greeted him with both hands holding the wine glass, and then Zhao Junchen filled his wine glass again, and then continued to speak in a casual tone: "First of all, it is naturally Su Changyi's matter. According to my estimates, he has been corrupt and bribed and crazy to accumulate wealth over the years, and his property savings will be about three million taels of silver, and this stolen silver will be returned to the public in the future, and there are many things in the imperial court that need this silver, so when you interrogate and raid your home, you must be cautious and careful, keep your eyes open, and never let Su Changzhen hide the real number. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Gu Quan couldn't help but be stunned.

Su Changyi's qualifications are very old, he has been up and down in the sea for more than 30 years, and in recent years he has been serving as the governor of the richest Nanzhili, and he is greedy and addicted to accumulating money. It would not be surprising that this number could be doubled even more!

It is impossible for Zhao Junchen not to know this, but he made a mistake, and he misestimated the amount of Su Changchen's property, which made Gu Quan a little unsure of how he should answer, did he remind Zhao Junchen to make a mistake? Or should you pretend not to know about Zhao Junchen's mistakes?

On the other side, seeing Gu Quan's expression, Zhao Junchen sighed lightly in his heart.

Obviously, Gu Quan didn't understand his true intentions at all.

So, Zhao Junchen accentuated his tone and said again: "Therefore, these three million taels of stolen silver must be handed over to the imperial court in full, and there must not be any shortage, understand?" ”

When he spoke, Zhao Junchen's tone on the word "full" was particularly heavy.

This time, after hearing Zhao Junchen's reminder again, Gu Quan finally understood Zhao Junchen's true intentions!

Zhao Junchen's words, on the surface, mean "We must hand over the three million taels of stolen silver to the imperial court in full", but the actual meaning is probably that "Su Changyi's stolen silver only needs to be handed over to the imperial court for three million taels is enough", as for what should be done with the remaining silver, Gu Quan naturally does not need Zhao Junchen to remind him again - naturally he will hide it, and then give Huang Yourong a part, and take a little for himself, and the rest of the silver will be handed over to Zhao Junchen's hands!

So, Gu Quan nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials understand, Su Changyi's stolen silver will definitely be escorted to the capital, about three million taels of silver, this number is remembered by the lower officials, and there will never be too much of a gap." ”

Seeing that Gu Quan finally understood his true intentions, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Zhao Junchen instructed again: "Also, this time the imperial court has made a lot of determination to investigate Su Changyi, so when the case is tried, many of Su Changyi's accomplices and remnants of the party will definitely be involved...... It's just that Su Changyi has been operating in Nanzhili for many years, and there must be a lot of accomplices, if all these people are arrested by the imperial court, I am afraid that there will be a lot of chaos and shock in the officialdom of Nanzhili, and when the time comes, everyone will be in danger, and even most of the officials will be convicted and imprisoned, which is not good for the country's society and the reputation of the imperial court, so I hope you can pay attention to the proportions at that time, those heinous and extremely angry officials, of course, none of them can be let go, but if the crime is not particularly serious officials, As long as they show enough remorse, they can turn a blind eye, and we can't wipe out all the officials in Nanzhili, right? ”

With the experience of the last time, Gu Quan quickly understood Zhao Junchen's hint this time.

I'm afraid that Zhao Junchen wants to use Su Changyi's case to co-opt some local officials in Nanzhili for his own use.

After all, although the "Zhao Party" is now gaining momentum, its influence is mainly concentrated in the center of the imperial court, and it does not have a particularly large influence outside the capital.

The second one, there is one more today!
