It's just that although he knows that Chen Dongxiang has the attribute of a "white-eyed wolf" and has many small actions in private, Zhao Junchen doesn't know how to do it to him. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
If you deal with it rashly, Zuo Lanshan, Gu Quan and others will inevitably have a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, which is easy to make people panic, and the reason why the Ministry of Industry abandoned Wen Guanliang and switched to Zhao Junchen, Chen Dongxiang can be called the first merit, but now although there is a backbone, there is no trace, Zhao Junchen can not start at will, otherwise it will inevitably affect his reputation.
And just when Zhao Junchen was thinking about how to beat Chen Dongxiang, under Zhao Junchen's gaze, Chen Dongxiang became more and more uncomfortable, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.
He is a smart man, and he has already thought of the purpose of Zhao Junchen's walk with him. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it.
Now, because of Wen Guanliang's matter, Chen Dongxiang's next life or death is completely in the hands of Zhao Junchen, so when facing Zhao Junchen, Chen Dongxiang has no confidence at all.
"Lord Chen." As Zhao Junchen suddenly spoke, Chen Dongxiang's body trembled slightly: "I heard that after Wen Guanliang and I tore face, you strongly opposed Wen Guanliang and my hostility, which can be called long-term, so in your opinion, why did Wen Guanliang lose in my hands in the first place?" ”
After Chen Dongxiang pondered for a while, he replied cautiously: "Naturally, the adult's means are superb, the people's hearts are returned, and they are loved by His Majesty. ”
Zhao Junchen smiled and said, "Lord Chen has a sentence that is right, that is, Wen Guanliang is beyond his strength. As the saying goes, 'know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles', but although Wen Guanliang knows the other, he does not know himself, at that time, because of Zhan Shanchang's affairs, his subordinate officials were already panicked, but they still couldn't wait to be hostile to me, but the influence of the forces was much higher than mine, but in the end, he was drawn from the bottom of my kettle, and the officials abandoned him one after another, and finally ended up alone and were left alone by his allies. ”
With a long sigh, Zhao Junchen continued: "However, in the final analysis, it is because he has mistreated Lord Zhan and made the officials under him disappointed, how can he win?" ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Chen Dongxiang reluctantly smiled: "My lord can see it." ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly and said, "It's not that I can understand it, but the cause and effect of this matter is very clear, and it's difficult to understand it or not." When I saw Wen Guanliang's fate, I told myself in my heart, I should know how much I am a person, I must know how much weight I have, how much weight I have, how much I can do, if I act rashly, I don't know the severity, the end may be even more miserable than Wen Guanliang, Lord Chen, do you say this is the truth? ”
Chen Dongxiang's face was slightly pale, still smiling, but he became more and more reluctant, and said: "The adults are wise, and what they say is extremely true. ”
This time, Zhao Junchen didn't answer, as if he was thinking about something, and in silence, he tapped the carriage with his fingers, and the percussion sound was crisp and rhythmic, constantly putting pressure on Chen Dongxiang.
Between Chen Dongxiang's forehead and sideburns, sweat traces gradually appeared.
Suddenly, Zhao Junchen sighed - Chen Dongxiang's body trembled again - and then said: "At the beginning, Wen Guanliang betrayed his relatives and left, which also brought great touch to the official, and the official has been reminding himself from time to time these days that he should be kind to the officials under him, only in this way can everyone return to their hearts, however, the official looked through the history books, but found that there are many monarchs who treat people leniently in history, but they have also been repeatedly betrayed and abandoned, so it can be seen that blindly lenient treatment is not enough, in this regard, what can Lord Chen teach me?" ”
Chen Dongxiang kept himself calm, although the carriage was dim, Zhao Junchen could also see the pale face of his face: "Don't worry, my lord, with your lenient temperament and means, everyone is looking at it, how can you be confused with Wen Guanliang?" And who would betray an adult? Who would dare to betray your lordship? If there is such a wolf-hearted thing, the first official will not let him go. ”
Zhao Junchen's face was abrupt, and he said: "I see, this official has been taught." ”
Chen Dongxiang didn't even dare to say it.
Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "However, Wen Guanliang's fate experience has brought us a warning, and also given me some hints, in the officialdom, as long as we can be self-aware and can ensure that we are united, then no matter what others do, we can't bully us lightly, Lord Chen, don't you say?" It is precisely because of this that this official has been focusing on integrating the factional forces under his sect these days, and now it has finally come to fruition. However, since ancient times, no matter when and what, it is always easy to destroy and difficult to build, and now we are a group of people who are stable and familiar with each other, which is not easy, and it is not easy for people to destroy, I can trust Lord Chen's vision and ability, and I will help the official to keep an eye on the point in the future, don't let those villains destroy your and my efforts. ”
Chen Dongxiang nodded again and again, and said, "Xia Guan understands, and he will not let the adults bother." ”
Zhao Junchen seemed to smile: "That's good." ”
As Zhao Junchen's words fell, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Outside the carriage, Xu Qingyan's voice sounded: "My lord, Lord Chen, the Chen Mansion has arrived." ”
……… After Chen Dongxiang got out of the car, he waited respectfully and humbly beside the car, waiting for Zhao Junchen to leave, but his head was lowered, so that Zhao Junchen couldn't see his eyes clearly at the moment, whether it was panic or resentment.
However, after this conversation, Zhao Junchen's goal has been achieved.
After this beating, no matter whether Chen Dongxiang had different intentions or not, at least in a short period of time, he was afraid that he would never dare to make any more small moves.
And after a period of buffering, after preparation, Zhao Junchen will deal with Chen Dongxiang again, and the impact will not be great.
"It's up to you to make your own choices, everyone has ambitions and selfishness, and for these, I still have the amount of tolerance, but the premise is that these ambitions and selfishness of yours will not have a negative impact on me......"
Looking at Chen Dongxiang in front of him, Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
After nodding to Chen Dongxiang, Zhao Junchen said to Xu Qingyan in front of the car: "Go to Tianhai Tower." ”
……… When Zhao Junchen came to the outside of Tianhai Tower, he had just gotten off the carriage, and the shopkeeper of Tianhai Tower had already come in a hurry.
"Lord Shangshu, you are finally here, Lord Wen, the old man of the Wen Pavilion, has been waiting for you in the private room for a long time."
The shopkeeper said flatteringly to Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, and asked Xu Qingyan beside him, "Qingyan, what time is it?" ”
Xu Qingyan replied: "Young master, the unitary time has not yet arrived, the post clearly said that we are not late for the banquet at the unitary time." ”
Zhao Junchen nodded, and while walking towards the Tianhai Tower, he asked the shopkeeper, "When did Elder Wen Ge come?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "Master Hui Shangshu, Wen Ge Lao has already come more than half of his time." ”
While speaking, Zhao Junchen had already come to the top floor of Tianhai Tower with the support of everyone, but found that Wen Guanliang was standing outside the private room at this time, his face was expressionless, but he seemed to be a little sad, and he was actually greeting Zhao Junchen in person.
Although Wen Guanliang lost power, after all, he was still the respect of the elders, whether it was out of helplessness or not, this gesture could be said to have given Zhao Junchen enough face.
Seeing that Wen Guanliang's expression seemed a little embarrassed, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but think of a month ago, when he was still entertaining Wen Guanliang, but Wen Guanliang made Zhao Junchen wait for more than an hour before he came late after hugging and shouting, and then it didn't take long for him to throw his hand away without speculation.
Wen Guanliang at that time, how arrogant and strong?
But now, the posture of the two has completely reversed.
As the so-called "people are poor and short-minded", this sentence is also somewhat appropriate here.
Secretly sighing in his heart, Zhao Junchen quickened his pace and arched his hand: "Please forgive Elder Wen Ge, it's too late for the next official." ”
To be honest, in Zhao Junchen's eyes, Wen Guanliang has almost no merit, but after all, he is old and a senior, so Zhao Junchen still gave him enough respect and politeness.
Zhao Junchen's respect and politeness, Wen Guanliang could feel it, and there was a flash of gratitude in his eyes.
"Don't blame Lord Zhao, it's the old man who came early."
Wen Guanliang's voice was hoarse and his face was old, as if he had changed compared to a month ago.
While speaking, the two of them entered the private room hand in hand and sat down separately.
Because Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong have not yet appeared, Tianhailou only served some cold dishes, but the wine pot and wine glass were prepared.
I saw Wen Guanliang pour himself a glass of wine, then raised it, and said to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao held a banquet today, and invited the old man and Shen and Huang, the so-called what, the old man has probably guessed it, although the old man knows that Lord Zhao is not doing this because of the old man, but the old man is stained after all, no matter whether this matter can be done in the end or not, Lord Zhao, your kindness, the old man remembers." ”
As he spoke, Wen Guanliang drank all the wine in his cup.
Zhao Junchen didn't even dare to say it, but he also accompanied Wen Guanliang to drink all the wine in the cup.
After putting down the wine glass, Zhao Junchen said: "Since Wen Ge Lao you understand Xia Guan's thoughts, then the next words are easy to say, now Shen Ge Lao and Huang Ge Lao have not yet come, Xia Guan just happened to talk to Wen Ge Lao about something important." ”
Wen Guanliang saw that Zhao Junchen looked serious, and also nodded and said, "Lord Zhao, please speak." ”
Zhao Junchen glanced at the entourage behind Wen Guanliang, and then said to Xu Qingyan beside him: "Qingyan, you go to wait outside the restaurant, Shen Ge Lao and Huang Ge Lao are afraid that they are also coming soon, you go and greet them." ”
Xu Qingyan was slightly stunned, but still nodded.
Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, where did Wen Guanliang still not understand what Zhao Junchen meant? also sent away his entourage.
For a while, in the private room, only Zhao Junchen and Wen Guanliang were left.
Under Wen Guanliang's gaze, Zhao Junchen played with the wine glass in his hand and organized the language.
And Wen Guanliang was also waiting quietly, without urging.
After a long time, Zhao Junchen finally spoke: "Elder Wen, you want to return to your hometown, although you have been blocked by Shen and Huang, the two elders of the Pavilion, but the lower officials have their own ways to persuade them. ”
Seeing Wen Guanliang's face showing joy, Zhao Junchen turned his head and continued: "However, in the eyes of the lower officials, the resistance to the return of the old man of the Wen Pavilion is not in the two elders of the Shen and Huang Pavilions, but in the current majesty!" ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Wen Guanliang's body was shocked, and his face showed disbelief.
Zhao Junchen explained seriously: "Elder Wenge, think about it, you want to return to your hometown, this matter has already been hinted at, but why when Shen and Huang are blocked, Your Majesty's attitude has always been undeniable? And let the matter of the elder of the pavilion be delayed again and again? ”
Wen Guanliang was silent, and a trace of coldness flashed on his face.
After all, he is experienced, and his vision is by no means inferior to Zhao Junchen, but these days, just Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong have already rectified him, and he has no time to think about the long-term and deeper things, and he doesn't dare to think about it.
Seeing that Wen Guanliang didn't speak, Zhao Junchen sighed lightly and continued: "I heard that Wen Ge has a good business, and over the years as an official, his family wealth has been no less than 10 million taels......
Wen Guanliang gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Zhao, do you mean that His Majesty is eyeing the old family wealth?" ”
"It's your embezzlement!" Zhao Junchen corrected slowly: "If you allow Shen and Huang to attack like this, Wen Pavilion Elder, you will definitely be imprisoned, and at that time, it is inevitable to raid the house, and the minister's income from the raid, according to the rules of our dynasty, will be attributed to His Majesty." ”
Wen Guanliang's face was pale, but he did not refute Zhao Junchen's words of corruption.
Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, and said: "However, the cabinet ministers took the lead in corruption, and the number was as much as 10 million taels, and when such a thing spread to the people, what kind of blow it would have to the morale of the people, Your Majesty knew it in his heart, and he didn't want to see it." Therefore, if Wen Ge Lao you take the initiative to hand over the silver to His Majesty, then not only can you keep your reputation and family, maybe you can also keep some pension, of course, for Wen Ge Lao, it may be difficult for some strong people to do this, but after all, the silver is embezzled, it is easy to come, and it is not distressing to lose it, compared to the life of the family, it is still very cost-effective to buy peace with silver, and please Wen Ge Lao should consider it carefully. ”
Wen Guanliang was silent for a long time, but Zhao Junchen was not in a hurry, and continued to play with the wine glass in his hand, leaving him time to think about it.
"Lord Zhao." After thinking for a long time, Wen Guanliang suddenly spoke: "Are you willing to help Lao Yu again and transfer the silver to His Majesty on behalf of Lao Yu?" ”
Wen Guanliang thought very clearly, it was imperative to give some of the silver to Emperor Deqing, as Zhao Junchen said, this is the "peace silver" that must be spent, but let him bribe the emperor directly like this, Wen Guanliang has no spectrum in his conscience, so he thought of Zhao Junchen, the favorite minister in the eyes of Emperor Deqing.
"Naturally." Zhao Junchen nodded, and did not refuse, it is not the first time he has done such a thing as bribing the emperor, although the silver bribed this time is extraordinarily large, and the matter is extraordinarily heavy, but after all, it is Wen Guanliang's silver, even if something happens, he will get out: "I don't know how much silver Elder Wen Ge is willing to give to His Majesty?" ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Wen Guanliang nodded gratefully, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and raised a finger.
Ten million taels? This is almost all of Wen Guanliang's family wealth! Could it be that Wen Guanliang plans to sell all his houses and fields?
Just when Zhao Junchen was shocked by Wen Guanliang's courage, Wen Guanliang looked distressed, and said slowly: "How about a million taels?" ”
As Wen Guanliang's words fell, Zhao Junchen almost choked on saliva.
Wen Guanliang's name of greed for money is worthy of his real name.
