……

Zhao Junchen doesn't like to take a sedan chair, in addition to the sedan chair shaking will make Zhao Junchen sleepy, but also because the sedan chair bearer will always hear a lot of things that they shouldn't know, so Zhao Junchen has to have an extra layer of guard.

Relatively speaking, Zhao Junchen prefers to take a carriage, although the carriage is bumpy, but it helps Zhao Junchen to keep a clear head, and generally Xu Qingyan serves as the coachman, Zhao Junchen talks and does things between cars, and is not afraid of confidential leakage.

In addition, the carriage of the carriage was more spacious after all, which also helped Zhao Junchen move his hands and feet.

Therefore, except for the early dynasty, Zhao Junchen mostly took a carriage when he went out.

In a way, this choice also reflects Zhao Junchen's character.

……

Regarding the subtle changes within the princelings, they can't escape the eyes of those who have a heart, and when Zhao Junchen got the news, he was also riding a carriage to Tianhai Tower.

There, Zhao Junchen will give a banquet to the new scholars who have taken refuge in him!

Carefully reading the information sent by Xichang Fanzi, Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly, although he was an opponent, he still couldn't help but have the idea of "being angry with him" against the princelings.

Such an idea is not because the princelings are so light that there are contradictions and rifts - this is expected by Zhao Junchen - but because the princelings are really unable to keep secrets, and they are so lightly inquired by Zhao Junchen's intelligence agencies.

You must know that Guo Tang and others advised the crown prince Zhu Heyu to fail, and left from the East Palace abruptly, it was only about half an hour ago, however. Whether it is the reason for Guo Tang and others to change their positions, or the change in the atmosphere within the princelings, or even Guo Tang's criticism of the crown prince Zhu and Yu when he left the East Palace, Zhao Junchen has now received detailed information!

"Qingliu likes to talk the most. The skills of a body are all in the mouth, and I want them to keep their mouths shut and keep secrets. Naturally, it is even more difficult, alas! Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed: "The princes are completely defenseless against intelligence secrets, and they have been found out in detail by me so lightly...... Fortunately, I calculated the East Factory in advance, and now the East Factory is in turmoil, and it has been paralyzed in a short period of time, even if I find out the information, I can't submit the information to His Majesty in time, otherwise if His Majesty knows that the prince intends to rectify the commercial tax. will inevitably stop it, and then my plan will end without a hitch. ”

Sometimes, the opponent is too straightforward and simple, which can be a problem.

Between sighs, Zhao Junchen carefully read the information, suddenly frowned, and muttered: "Guo Min? According to the information of Xichang, this person actually made Guo Tang change his mind in just a short period of time...... It's interesting. I really don't know how he persuaded Guo Tang, an old stubborn, could it be that he saw through the trap I dug for the prince? If so, this Guo Min is much more useful than his brother......

…… Well, I remember that there was a piece of information about Guo Tang. Among them, Guo Min is also emphatically described, saying that this person is quite talented, just relying on Guo Tang's signboard. He single-handedly set up a business bank with one of the largest scales...... Although Guo Tang is a prince and young master, his power is only average. His signboard can only scare some low-level officials who don't have a backstage, so to speak. Guo Min can make the business bigger, I'm afraid it's his own ability...... If he can see through the trap I designed, then he is really a great talent......"

Between muttering to himself, Zhao Junchen already had an idea, lifted the curtain of the car, but saw that the Xichang fanzi who passed the information to him was walking with the car at this time, waiting for his next order.

"You go and inform Wei Huai, let him focus on exploring Guo Min's roots, if he has different political views from the prince, he will be bribed for my use! As for what benefits he wants to give, just let Wei Huai have an idea. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's order, Xichang Fanzi hurriedly agreed, and then turned around and left.

And Zhao Junchen put down the curtains of the car windows and secretly thought about his next strain.

……

However, Zhao Junchen didn't think about it for a long time, but in the time of a stick of incense, the carriage had already stopped outside Tianhai Tower.

When Zhao Junchen stepped out of the carriage and looked up, he saw that at the door of Tianhai Tower, a group of new jinshi who had taken refuge in him had been waiting for a long time under the leadership of Zeng Wei and Liu Zimin.

At this time, seeing that Zhao Junchen finally appeared, a group of new jinshi showed excitement and joy, and they all greeted Zhao Junchen.

"Lord Zhao, you are finally here, student Zhang Chengwen is waiting here!"

"The student entered Wang Junshan, and the twenty-third place in the second class of the current science hall exam, meet Lord Zhao!"

"Student Li Gu, the thirty-seventh place in the top three in the current science hall examination, you have been fascinated by Lord Zhao for many years, and now you can worship under Lord Zhao, I am really happy!"

"Student Hong Chengtao......"

"Student Ma Chengwen ......"

A group of newly promoted scholars, since they took refuge in Zhao Junchen, a big corrupt official, before the entrance examination, and with the secret help of Zhao Junchen, they are naturally not arrogant and arrogant, in fact, it is not too much to say that they forget their righteousness for profit. At this time, in the face of Zhao Junchen, they were also flattering, and they rushed to report their homes loudly, for fear that Zhao Junchen would not know his name.

In fact, these new jinshi are all the fresh blood of the Zhao Party that Zhao Junchen attaches great importance to, Zhao Junchen not only knows their names, origins, and conduct, but even their answers in the palace examination and the examination have been carefully read one by one, and their understanding of them is far beyond their imagination.

At this time, in the face of the enthusiastic flattery of the new jinshi, Zhao Junchen's expression was quite relaxed and casual, and he nodded his head to respond to everyone, but it made these new jinshi even more ecstatic.

Among the candidates, only Zeng Wei and Liu Zimin were not too flattering, among them, Liu Zimin was because he was already familiar with Zhao Junchen and did not need to introduce himself, but Zeng Wei was out of self-confidence and thought that Zhao Junchen would inevitably attach importance to himself, so he disdained to squeeze together with other Jinshi.

In fact, after dealing with a group of newly promoted scholars, Zhao Junchen also walked in front of Liu Zimin and Zeng Wei for the first time, and took the initiative to speak: "Well, you are Zeng Wei, right?" There are countless talents in today's science and technology palace. You can get the third place Tanhua ranking, it's really a competition. and Liu Zimin, you took the seventh place in the second class. It is even more unexpected to me, it seems that in addition to helping me recruit talents, you have not given up your hard work these days, and I am also very pleased and happy for you. ”

When Zhao Junchen came to him, Zeng Wei and Liu Zimin finally stopped being reserved and saluted Zhao Junchen one after another.

Liu Zimin said: "I've seen Lord Zhao! The student hasn't seen Mr. Zhao for a long time, but now that I see you again, I find that Mr. Zhao is becoming more and more spiritual. Zimin is very happy, and being able to ask Lord Zhao for advice again today makes Zimin even more happy. ”

Liu Zimin's words were as flattering as ever, but they were not as explicit as other Jinshi, and between his words, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed his closeness to Zhao Junchen, but with a sense of showing off.

Zeng Wei, on the other hand, was much simpler, just said: "Student Zeng Wei." Meet Lord Zhao! I also hope that Lord Zhao will know that my father wrote a letter yesterday, expressing deep satisfaction that the students have entered the door of adults. And said that in the future, I will get closer to you, Lord Zhao. ”

Zeng Wei's words were reserved and respectful, and there was not too much flattery. However, between the words, it was implying that Zeng Congrong, the political envoy of Sichuan, would also join Zeng Wei to seek refuge with Zhao Junchen. But this carries more weight than any flattery.

So, Zhao Junchen also smiled happily: "I have heard the name of the Sichuan political envoy Zeng for a long time. Now that Lord Zeng wants to be close to me, he naturally can't ask for it! ”

Then, Zhao Junchen said to Liu Zimin: "Originally, I wanted to bring your sister Liu Rui with me, but unfortunately she went to Shaanxi and Gansu to visit a famous doctor a few days ago, and wanted to take in a little girl for me to treat eye diseases, but she has not returned yet, but unfortunately, your brothers and sisters have not seen each other for a long time, I am afraid that they will miss it very much, and Liu Rui If she knows that you have a good score in the exam, she will definitely be happy." ”

Zeng Wei smiled: "Thank you, my lord, the student will definitely convey it to his father!" ”

On the other side, Liu Zimin said indifferently: "Liu Rui, it is naturally a good thing that she can share her worries for Lord Zhao, and I am also happy for her, as for the rest, Lord Zhao doesn't need to care." ”

Seeing that Liu Zimin was so indifferent to his sister Liu Rui, Zhao Junchen frowned, he just praised Liu Zimin for his growth, but he didn't expect that his cold heart still hadn't changed.

However, this kind of affection was just a flash, and then Zhao Junchen had already regained his cordiality and harmony, and as the host of the banquet, he beckoned a group of newly promoted scholars to enter the Tianhai Tower for the banquet.

However, the change in expression at this moment fell into Zeng Wei's eyes, seeing that Zhao Junchen didn't like Liu Zimin's cool temperament, Zeng Wei's eyes flashed a trace of joy and relaxation.

First, Zhao Junchen's attitude shows that Zhao Junchen is not a cold-hearted person, just like Zeng Wei's previous conjecture about Zhao Junchen, it also means that Zeng Wei did not vote for the wrong person; Second, these new jinshi worship under Zhao Junchen, and they will definitely help each other in the Zhao Party in the future, and the leader is either Liu Zimin or Zeng Wei, Zeng Wei was originally worried that Liu Zimin and Zhao Junchen had a deeper relationship, so Zhao Junchen would be more inclined to Liu Zimin, but now seeing that Zhao Junchen actually doesn't like Liu Zimin very much, it means that his hopes have increased greatly!

……

Between everyone's different thoughts, they have already entered the Tianhai Tower.

Zhao Junchen and more than 20 newly promoted jinshi also filled the three tables.

Among them, Zeng Wei and Liu Zimin naturally sat on both sides of Zhao Junchen.

Because it was a banquet booked by Zhao Junchen, Tianhailou naturally did not dare to slack off, everyone had just sat down, all kinds of exquisite dishes had been served on the table, and the wine had been prepared for a long time.

Then, Zhao Junchen picked up his wine glass and took the initiative to toast to celebrate the title of the gold list of the new jinshi, and said that he would support and train them in the future, so that they don't have to worry about the hardships of their careers.

After getting Zhao Junchen's promise, a group of new jinshi were naturally deeply encouraged and excited, and they also raised their wine glasses, wishing Zhao Junchen every step of the way and good health, but also to ensure that they would be loyal to Zhao Junchen in the future.

Between toasting and drinking, there are many hints and promises, although the atmosphere is warm, but it is only the proper meaning of the question and a matter of course, so there is no need to mention it.

But it was said that after Zhao Junchen put down the wine glass, he sat down again, and between the muttering, he suddenly changed his words and said: "Now, you have all been appointed by His Majesty, and you have different official positions, and from now on, you will all be officials." However, I would like to ask you, how will you be officials in the future? ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, all the newly promoted jinshi were stunned.

According to their assumptions, it is natural to climb Zhao Junchen's thighs, climb to a higher official position, and at the same time try to accumulate money by all means - the so-called "promotion and wealth", isn't this the real reason why they study hard in the cold window?

"Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book; There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book; Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book; Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book; If the boy is determined to live his life. Six Classics read to the window and read ......"

Song Zhenzong's "Encouragement of Learning" is the reason why they persevered in the ten-year cold window.

It's just that although Zhao Junchen is a big corrupt official who is famous all over the world, he can't say these words clearly.

However, if you want to say some high-sounding and beautiful words, saying that you want to be a good official who works hard for the society of the court and the well-being of the people, it is as if you are ridiculing Zhao Junchen, but it is a bit risky.

So the new candidates all didn't know how to answer, and they were in a dilemma, and they didn't know the reason why Zhao Junchen asked like this.

In the end, after a moment of silence, the answers of the newly promoted scholars were surprisingly similar, and they all said loudly: "I wait for Lord Zhao to be the first to look forward, Lord Zhao tells us to be officials, we will be officials, and listen to your orders." ”

Hearing everyone's answers, Zhao Junchen nodded, but shook his head slightly.

Seeing Zhao Junchen's contradictory attitude, everyone was a little confused, and they didn't dare to express their stance lightly for a while.

Seeing everyone like this, Zhao Junchen sighed softly, but turned his gaze to Liu Zimin and Zeng Wei, and asked, "What do you two think differently?" ”

After all, Liu Zimin has been in contact with Zhao Junchen for a long time, and he understands Zhao Junchen's thoughts better, and when he saw Zhao Junchen asking, his heart moved, but he had an idea, and replied: "I am deeply favored by Lord Zhao, and during my future official period, I will naturally consider Lord Zhao, and focus on the interests of Lord Zhao!" Nowadays, there are a lot of rumors between the government and the opposition, which actually say that you are a corrupt official and traitor, and after we become officials, we must clear up the rumors, reverse the wind and criticism, and let the world understand that Lord Zhao is not only not a corrupt official and traitor, but a good official and a clean official for the country and the people! ”

Zhao Junchen smiled lightly and turned his gaze to Zeng Wei again.
