Chapter 410: Do you want a face?
Chapter 410: Do you want to give face?
Zhao Ji was helpless. The other party was thick-skinned than the city wall. He scolded him. He spitted himself on his face and was proud, and regarded it as a family heirloom. If the Shen family passed on this order, God knew whether it was to give Chen Ao a good face or let him Zhao Ji laugh at him.
This smoke between the king and the minister came to an end. In fact, the reason why Zhao Ji was angry was that he was still unwilling to be in peace. He always felt that Chen Ao had taken advantage of him and wanted to get some benefits, but he was still deceived by Chen Ao.
With some conflict as a way to adjust, the lives of the two in Suzhou became more colorful. During this confrontation, Zhao Ji immediately became a deaf and mute. Chen Ao was eager to try it, and he also regarded it as if he could not see or hear it. He could not afford to offend him or hide. Zhao Ji was not stupid.
Of course, this relationship is limited to friends. If someone else dares to do this, it would be a deception of the king. As one story says, the close minister tasted the same orange and gave it to the king for food. The king was very moved and felt that the close minister tried it for him to contribute the best orange to himself. But if someone else did, the king would probably be furious and think maliciously that he would give me the leftover orange.
Different people enjoy different treatments for the same actions. What really determines destiny is not words or deeds but closeness, and relationships determine destiny.
After not seeing Chen Ao for a few days, Zhao Ji started to inquire about Chen Ao again. In his opinion, Chen Ao would not stop if he didn't make any outrageous things for a day. Why has it been calm these days? Could it be that he has changed his temper?
Zhao Ji shook his head secretly, unable to believe it.
After asking Yang Jian, Yang Jian had gone to Chen Ao for a walk in the past two days, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Chen Ao is writing a letter recently."
"Write a letter?" Zhao Ji suddenly felt something was wrong. I wonder which unfortunate guy wanted to receive Chen Ao's letter: "Who did it all?"
"There are so many people who write about it, including Tong Guan and Eunuch Tong, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and there are about a dozen people."
"Oh, it turns out that Chen Ao has such extensive social interactions?"
"It's not necessarily widespread, it's true that people have headaches."
Zhao Ji laughed: "I just see how Chen Ao makes Tong Guan unlucky." He felt quite happy and always felt that he had taken advantage of Chen Ao, and others should have suffered Chen Ao's losses. Otherwise, if Nao Zijing found his head, he would feel very uncomfortable.
After a few days of rest, Zhao Ji was calm and calm, and calmed down to start reviewing memorials sent from the Ministry of Education. In recent days, there were many memorials, and they were piled up like mountains, but most of the content was the same, and they were all apologizing.
From Cai Jing to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Censors, everyone was full of passion and regretted it seriously.
This has a great relationship with Hua Shigang. For example, Cai Jing, since he has taken care of the three-in-law affairs, he dares not apologize for such a shocking case. Although Cai You has already turned against him, even in public occasions, Cai You hopes that Cai Jing, the old guy, was buried earlier. However, Cai You is his son after all, and he has broken his bones and tendons. How can he not apologize for it? Besides, Hua Shigang was originally Cai Jing encouraged Zhao Ji to do it. Now the wind is changing greatly, and Cai Jing can't stand it.
Therefore, his apology was the most earnest, saying that he was inattentive, and that he was foolish, and in the end he was incompetent in teaching his children. He had been guilty of thousands of sentences and died. After reading it, Zhao Ji couldn't help but say to Yang Jian with regret: "This corruption case has little to do with the Grand Master. Fortunately, he is still worried at this age. It is not easy for him to be a good family for me, hey..."
A few sighs, and a few words of red pen were put down, comforting Cai Jing. It was nothing more than saying that I knew that you worked hard and made great contributions and failed to monitor for a while. It was also a common thing for those who ruled the country. You don’t have to worry about it. As for Cai You, I took it lightly for the sake of the Grand Master’s face, and the Grand Master would slowly discipline him.
The Grand Master asked for punishment, and of course he did not dare to slack off the rest of the fish and shrimps. All of them apologized for remorse. The Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Justice said that they were negligent in supervision, the Ministry of Revenue said that they did not supervise money and grain, and the censor said that they were confused for a while, but in comparison, Cai Jing's apology was the most sincere.
Zhao Ji was annoyed and simply stopped reviewing it. He asked Yang Jian to move the memorial out, stretched his waist and took a nap.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Although it is March, the flowers and grass are everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, the weather in Xihe is changing constantly, the sun is extremely hot, but at night it is cold and the ground is frozen, but occasionally a few buds grow from the bushes, which makes people suddenly realize that it has been spring.
Tong Guan has been frightened these days. Don’t look at his burly figure, but he is a meticulous person. News from Suzhou has already arrived. Cai You was completely finished. He was a grand tutor, and he became a prisoner like a dead dog. Tong Guan had already had a foreshadowing that it was different from the past. The methods used to be used now are no longer useful.
He is like a tiger. Although Tong Guan has a saint's family, he dare not be confident that he is more profound than Cai You. Cai You was completely swept out of the house, so how could he dare to play the trick of being arrogant because of favor.
So he couldn't sleep these days, and he was thinking about the matter of the fictitious situation. Since the fictitious situation has begun to investigate strictly, it is certain that he will be involved in him. But how would Shen Ao deal with himself? This is Tong Guan's heart disease.
He waited for today with fear. Tong Guan remained silent today, but asked someone to call Tong Hu. Tong Hu was his nephew and has now adopted him and adopted son. Tong Guan discussed with him many things.
Tong Hu is only in his early thirties, and his figure inherits Tong Guan's burly and bearded. At the same time, Tong Guan has a bit of carefulness. Don't look at his fierceness, but he is the think tank in front of Tong Guan. Whether it is marching and fighting, or checking logistics and food, many things, Tong Guan is not at ease, so he would rather ask Tong Hu to do it, first to increase his knowledge, and secondly, they don't have to care about anything. They can say anything that should be said or not.
"Hu'er, please take a look at this letter first." Tong Guan sat for a while and pushed the letter on the desk.
Tong Hu took the letter, opened it and looked at it. The letter was written by Shen Ao. He just read the signature and couldn't help but raise his eyes and said, "Dad, since Shen Ao has sent the letter, it can be seen that there is still room for maneuver."
Tong Guan just smiled indifferently and closed his eyes and said, "You read the letter first."
This is a passionate letter. Shen Ao's attitude was both modest and polite, and he said that the great military achievements made by Tong's elder brother-in-law in the border town. There is no false statement here. Tong Guan has been in the army for more than ten years, has been brave in fighting and can unite the soldiers, and has really made a lot of contributions. Shen Ao's good words would not be slapped on the horse's legs.
When Tong Hu saw this, he was puzzled: "Why did this Shen Ao speak so politely? Could it be that we misread him, he is a polite person?" With this fleeting thought, Tong Hu then shook his head secretly. If this person was polite, there would not be so many people in his hands.
After that, Chen Ao in the letter changed his subject and mentioned a person, saying that he was a stolen official named Zhuang Yan, who dared to say that his corruption was instructed by Eunuch Tong. Every year, Eunuch Tong gained a lot of benefits from him.
Tong Hu's eyes sterned and he sneered: "I have said that this solemnity is unreliable. It's a cartilage. It turns out that we have already sold us."
Tong Guan did not follow up, but just asked Tong Hu to continue watching.
Chen Ao said generously in the letter: This solemn and courageous one is really brave. He dares to pour sewage on Eunuch Tong. Eunuch Tong is honest and honest. The lower officials admire him very much and yearn for it. How could he be with such people and commit heinous crimes? The lower officials would never listen to him nonsense, and have asked people to confiscate his family wealth and flatten his three tribes...
Seeing this, Tong Hu sighed: "This Chen Ao is indeed very thrilling and decisive. He kills him as soon as he says he can't help but be scared when he hears it. But why is he protecting his father like this?"
Tong Hu continued to read curiously, and Chen Ao continued to write: But since Zhuang Yan has bitten Eunuch Tong, according to the law, Eunuch Tong should be a self-disputed person. Otherwise, if someone is interested, he really thinks that Eunuch Tong is a solemn accomplice and cannot argue with him. Wouldn't it be a destruction of his reputation?
The last sentence is even more strange. It actually listed the amount of wealth confiscated by Zhuangyan, such as 1,300 taels of gold, 4,900 taels of silver, 7,900 guan of money, and 7,900 guan of treasures. The total amount is 1,100 million guan.
Tong Hu sighed: "The amount is so big that I was so scared that I saw it. This solemnity is really capable. I can still accumulate such a huge amount of wealth every year. Unfortunately, it is all in the hands of Chen Ao."
Tong Guan said calmly: "Hu'er, what do you think?"
Tong Hu pondered: "Chen Ao is here to recover the stolen goods."
"Yes, it's indeed a stolen stolen. He was polite and then a soldier, asking us to spit out the things obediently. Otherwise, then solemnity would be a role model."
"Although his letter was sincere, it was actually just a step to give his father a step down. Father, what should we do?"
Tong Guan said: "Of course you have to eat toasts, otherwise you will be doomed if you eat them. This person is at its peak and cannot be offended. If you should pay it back, you will return it. It is important to save this life."
Tong Hu couldn't imagine that his adoptive father was so quick to show his weakness: "How many times will we retreat?"
Tong Guan smiled bitterly: "Didn't you look at the list he listed? Zhuang Yan's corruption totaled 11 million guan. What did he do to make this list? Humph, he was targeted, meaning to tell us that Zhuang Yan is our lackey and can even confiscate so much wealth. We are the behind-the-scenes drivers of Zhuang Yan and the mastermind. The amount of return of the stolen goods cannot be less than 11 million guan."
