……

In the deceitful officialdom, especially when the status has reached the level of Zhao Junchen, unconsciously, he has no chance to have such a good quality as "trust".

Therefore, although Chen Zhirong's words are sincere, conclusive, and even pitiful, Zhao Junchen is still half-convinced - not to mention that Chen Zhirong's words are just one-sided, even if Chen Zhirong really comes up with conclusive evidence, Zhao Junchen will never blindly believe it - after all, the so-called "evidence" can also be forged.

However, on the surface, Zhao Junchen "believed".

I saw Zhao Junchen with a little abruptness and a little hesitation, and said slowly: "Oh? I see, I didn't expect Miss Chen to be so well-intentioned, but ...... I am not afraid of crooked shadows, and the Tongji Temple really has nothing to do with me, so I am not afraid that those people with ill intentions will use this as a reason to grab my handle. It's just that Miss Chen's thoughts are really rare, thank you here. ”

Chen Zhirong saw Zhao Junchen's behavior, and he also knew Zhao Junchen's thoughts, and sighed: "However, with Lord Zhao's wisdom, he can naturally see the human nature of the person behind Jing Guogong, who only believes in himself, so my reply, I'm afraid it can only be hidden from him for a while, and he may send others to re-investigate in the future, just in case, Lord Zhao should prepare early." ”

After a pause, Chen Zhirong smiled lightly and said, "However, as long as Lord Zhao knows in his heart, these are just trivial matters, but there are other things that Lord Zhao has to guard against." ”

"I don't know what's going on?" Zhao Junchen asked.

"Presumably Lord Zhao, you can guess it. The man behind Jing Guogong...... I have a big intention in my heart, and in order to achieve my goal, I have been lying on my back for many years. He has always been looking for reliable allies, and now Lord Zhao is his ideal ally choice, but that person's desire to control is too strong, even if it is his ally, it will inevitably be gradually eaten away by him, plus that person has a long-term vision and always takes precautions. Now that he has set his sights on Lord Zhao, I'm afraid he may not just honestly wait for Lord Zhao's response......"

On the other side, between the words. Chen Zhirong glanced at Zhao Junchen meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Actually, Lord Zhao, you still pay more attention to the movements of the officials under your door these days, I know that Lord Zhao has always had a long-term vision and great ambitions. Sometimes, however, it is too far away. It is inevitable that you will ignore the foothold under your feet, and if you just keep staring at others, you will inevitably forget your own weaknesses. ”

Originally, Zhao Junchen still looked noncommittal, but when he heard this, his eyes narrowed subconsciously.

Chen Zhirong has always helped Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, to do things, and Chen You is one of the henchmen of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, if Zhu Hejian secretly has any moves. I'm afraid Chen Zhirong will be more or less aware of it.

Don't...... After Zhu Hejian hinted to himself that he wanted to join forces, he saw that he did not respond for a long time. Have you already started to pry your own corners secretly?

Because of Chen Zhirong's words, how much sincerity Chen Zhirong has to take refuge in himself suddenly became a secondary matter for Zhao Junchen, and now Zhao Junchen is just thinking about whether Chen Zhirong's hint is true or false!

However, if this incident is true, then Chen Zhirong's intention to take refuge will have more credibility.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen slowly asked, "Oh? But I don't know what that man is doing now. ”

Chen Zhirong did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "In the eyes of Lord Zhao, what do you rely on now that you are based in the court?" And that person is hidden behind the scenes, what is the advantage? ”

Seeing that Chen Zhirong asked seriously, Zhao Junchen also replied seriously: "The reason why I am standing tall in the temple now is because of His Majesty's trust, and that person is hidden behind the scenes, and the advantage should be that no one has realized his threat yet......"

Chen Zhirong shook his head and said: "Lord Zhao is wrong, your advantage is not in His Majesty's trust, in fact, you and I both know it, with His Majesty's mastery of the emperor's mental arts, he will never trust anyone, your advantage is that you are now firmly in control of the household yamen, if the money and grain of the imperial court does not have your nod, others just want to move a stone of rice, a tael of silver, it is also even more difficult, plus Lord Zhao's financial management is the best in the world, so Your Majesty wants you to help him control the money and grain, I also want you to raise money and food for him to satisfy his various ideas and desires, and he is gradually inseparable from Lord Zhao, and it is precisely because of this that he has been sheltered and ......."

After a pause, Chen Zhirong said again: "However, a person's biggest advantage is often also a person's weakness, Lord Zhao, your weakness is now also in the household department, Lord Zhao, you can think about it, if one day, Lord Zhao, you can no longer control the household department, even if your financial management skills are no longer good, for Your Majesty, your usefulness will not be great, at that time, Your Majesty will still protect you?" I'm afraid I'll just abandon it, right? ”

Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned - he had never considered a problem like this, but he had to admit that what Chen Zhirong said made sense, so he couldn't help but nodded.

I have to say that although Chen Zhirong's mental concept is a little extreme, and her vision of people and things is also a little biased, her vision is indeed very poisonous, although she and Fang Ru are both shrewd and capable women, but in comparison with the two, Fang Ru's vision is much worse when she looks at problems.

Chen Zhirong saw that Zhao Junchen was seriously thinking about his words, no longer the original noncommittal appearance, and his eyes flashed with satisfaction and joy.

She knew that Zhao Junchen didn't trust her, and she also knew that it was very difficult to gain Zhao Junchen's trust, but many times, trust was slowly built up bit by bit.

Now, with those words, she is at least off to a good start.

Between thoughts, Chen Zhirong commented again: "And the advantage of the person behind Jing Guogong is not that he is not unnoticed, but the good relationship between him and the prince, although he has been coveting the position of the prince in his heart, but the prince has always been ignorant, the two of them are in the eyes of outsiders, but they are brothers and brothers, and they are the same body, so the position where that person is now is quite ingenious, attacking and retreating, on the one hand, he can buy the officials under the prince's door without attracting attention, and unconsciously hollow out the prince's authority, and on the other hand, In some ways, his statement will be misinterpreted as the statement of the crown prince himself......"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhirong's expression suddenly became stern, and he asked again: "Lord Zhao, those officials under your command, you yourself think that they are all crooked melons and cracked dates, and there are countless things of corruption and bribery, for them, the existence of the crown prince Zhu and Yu is their hanging sword, but if one day, there is a person who is very close to the prince who promises them that in the future, he will not only exempt them from all kinds of crimes, but also add officials to them, then Lord Zhao thinks, those officials under your door, Will they still be loyal to you? ”

Chen Zhirong's hint is now very clear.

Obviously, because of the secret hands and feet of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, the household department, which was originally regarded as a forbidden by Zhao Junchen, has now had a problem.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhao Junchen's several major intelligence systems, including Tongji Temple and Xichang, don't even know about this!

If Chen Zhirong's hint is true, if Zhao Junchen is still ignorant, what will happen next, Zhao Junchen really can't imagine!

However, after Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Absolutely not, let alone them, even if it is me, I am afraid I will be tempted when I hear such a promise." ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen smiling, Chen Zhirong was stunned and asked, "Lord Zhao doesn't seem to be worried?" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "If what you said is true, then I don't even know that I was being pulled from the bottom of the kettle, and the severity of the situation has already exceeded my imagination, how can I not worry?" ”

"Then why is Lord Zhao laughing?" Chen Zhirong wondered.

"Many of the things I am doing now are against the trend, and I have long been prepared to meet difficulties, if I encounter some difficulties and am at a loss, then I will not be able to go to the point where I am today." Zhao Junchen said leisurely: "What's more, with Miss Chen's temperament, if things have reached the point of no return, I'm afraid you won't tell me these things at all, now that you have said it, it proves that the matter is not out of control, and in this way, you can show the precious friendship of your reminder, am I right?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Chen Zhirong's bright eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is really a person worthy of my love!" ”

"Then ......" Zhao Junchen looked at Chen Zhirong seriously and asked, "Now Miss Chen, do you have a way to teach me?" Perhaps...... Do you know anything more about that? ”
