Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Six: Forgive People and Forgive People
Chapter 436: Please forgive others if you want to forgive others
After meeting Mr. Lu, Chen Ao had to go to Suiya Mountain House to prepare for Wu Saner, and asked someone to invite Yang Jian to discuss business. Now, in Suiya Weekly, Chen Ao accounts for 50% of the shares, Yang Jian is 40%, while Wu Saner is not much, only 10%.
The three of them discussed for a while and Yang Jian was a hand-off manager. Chen Ao said that the sales of shares could soar more than ten times. It would be fine if he calculated this way. He was willing to give up 10% of the shares and gave them to the Lu family.
Chen Ao also sold 10% and collected 20% of them. The rest was to discuss recruiting workers and expanding workshops. After all, the printing craftsmen were not ordinary craftsmen, so they first asked to be able to read. Although there were more people who could read than dogs, there were not necessarily a few who could read literacy and work. Wu Saner complained for a while, but knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she had to ask people to recruit them everywhere.
Yang Jian was confident and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is also very concerned about Suiya Weekly. The article was well written yesterday. Your Majesty got up today and read it again. He also wrote a new plaque for someone to hang it in Wenjing Pavilion. Chen Ao, you still have a way."
Yesterday's article was actually a manuscript by Chen Ao. Lu Zhizhang asked him to write a copy according to his title. Now he has made a happy face. Chen Ao is not surprised and laughed: "I wonder what is the plaque that Your Majesty hangs in Wenjing Pavilion?"
Yang Jian said: "I wake up from my sins."
Chen Ao was speechless. The emperor was addicted to guilty himself. Now he kept hypnotizing himself, and even the imperial edict became his wise and martial arts excuse. Although he felt that he was shameless, Chen Ao also knew that Zhao Ji was also a human being, not only a human being, but also a sentimental person. It was nothing to have such a problem.
Yang Jian smiled and continued, "So, the maid thinks that the matter of Suiya Weekly must be reported to Your Majesty in time; if we don't say some things, your Majesty will know sooner or later. It's better to say it now, maybe you can make a big statement."
Chen Ao also felt that Yang Jian's words were very reasonable and nodded, "Then I'll bother my father-in-law to tell me, and I'll say that this matter is quite important and that His Majesty will decide."
After almost the discussion, Yang Jian had an errand in the palace, so he stood up to say goodbye. Chen Ao now regarded himself as a disciple and issued an order, which would be carried out by Wu Saner of the Shangshu Province. So he gave a few words and was still his boss.
After a few days of busy work, I finally stopped and changed into casual clothes to accompany my wife to stroll. It happened that the temple fairs these days, so I took a few family members from the mansion to join in the fun. Chen Ao was a restless person, and he had a lot of troubles along the way. He ran into a few friends on the way. The Prime Minister nodded to each other, and the other party didn't say anything because of the storm.
Chen Ji's maid, mute girl, sometimes goes out with her wives. Because Chen Ji has a high status and is considered an elder. This mute girl Yunnu has served Chen Ji for more than ten years, and no one regards her as a servant. Therefore, every time she goes out, four women spend a lot of money on Chen Ao. Fortunately, Shen Ao's family is now big and he will not feel heartbroken. When he sees them happy, he only flaunts the fan and smiles.
It was time to rest, so we couldn't help but go to the Honglu Temple to attend the meeting. After this trip, the Honglu Temple had a new understanding of Lord Shen. Even the emperor had to issue a self-destruction to protect him. What kind of holy relative is this? It is really unprecedented. Although Lord Shen is just a temple minister, anyone knows that even when Master Cai Jing saw him, he had to avoid his sharpness. Therefore, they were even more careful in serving him. Chen Ao said something, maybe someone would say: "Sir... the officials think...", but now they don't dare to do so. The officials think it's nothing. In front of Lord Shen, this is self-righteous and ungrateful.
The most frightening thing was Yang Lin, the chief clerk of Tongwenguan. This Lord Yang was also attracted by lard. He was also glorious back then. He passed the Jinshi in high school. Unfortunately, he was not lucky because he was ugly. Both the Ministry of Personnel and the bosses in the court did not look down on him. The new party and the old party had no share when they fought to the death. Later, Cai Jing, the headmaster, never even looked at him. He finally got the qualification of a chief clerk, but he was still a Tongwenguan. The chief clerk of Tongwenguan sounded quite brilliant, but in fact, the bachelor of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting was a bit miserable.
There are five departments under the entire Honglu Temple, one is in charge of monks. Needless to say, the rest are in charge of the tribute of the Hexi Fan tribes. The concierge houses that are in charge of the Uighurs, Tubo, Dangxiang, Jurchens and other countries, the Huaiyuan Office for the tribute of the Uighurs, Tubo, Dangxiang, Jurchens and other countries, the Huaiyuan Office for the tribute of the Nanfan Jiaozhou, Xifan Kucha, Dashi, Khotan, Gan, Sha, Zongge and other countries, and there is also the Tongwenguan for the tribute of the *** affairs.
The most leisurely here should be the Hexi vassal state affairs department and the Nanfan, Kucha, Dashi, and Khotan and Huaiyuanyi. After all, these are all vassal states, and there is no much trouble in dealing with them, and there is enough oil and water. As for the concierge houses in Uighurs, Tubo, Dangxiang, Jurchen and other countries, it is a bit troublesome. I think Shen Ao, the head of the concierge house, also worked at the time. It can be said that this is the real power department of the Honglu Temple. Although there are many troubles, there are not much power. As long as you have the ability and deal with them well, the emperor can see them and have the opportunity to be promoted in three to five years. The worst thing is the Tongwenguan, which is in charge of the affairs of the ***. Where is the ***? They are not bordering the Song Dynasty, and there are thousands of miles, and there are Liao and Jin countries in the middle. How do you deal with them?
Besides, the *** people were also very slick. On the one hand, they wanted to get some tribute rewards from the Song Dynasty, but on the other hand, they were also a fence-bearer. When the Liao Kingdom was strong, they praised the Khitan people, and when the Jin people were strong, they immediately threw them away and sent envoys to pay tribute.
Therefore, the national policy pursued by the *** people is to be grandsons of the Jin people. He paid a lot of ginseng, squids and silver and money to the Jin people every year, for fear of offending this strong neighbor. But on the other hand, they would never break off contact with the Song Dynasty. Every year, they even came to pay tribute with shamelessness and wait for the Song Dynasty to reward. He did not leave any of the benefits. As for asking them to echo the Song Dynasty, they immediately lost their shadow.
When you encounter such a scoundrel, the Tongwenguan will naturally not be popular. It is important to know that if you negotiate with such a person, you will not be able to get any result. In the Song Dynasty, you just turn a blind eye and get some money to pay. Besides, people only come once a year, and at most they are busy for a month, and no one takes them seriously. Over time, of course, even the head of the Tongwenguan will not be valued.
If there is no oil or water, there is no hope of promotion, Yang Lin is desperate. Now that this year is not young, he just wishes to find an opportunity to fight hard immediately. The impeachment of Shen Ao gave him the opportunity. As long as he can seize the opportunity and show his performance in front of Taishi Cai, he may be able to get rid of his current awkward position.
Anyway, it seemed that Shen Ao was already in a desperate situation. As Shen Ao's colleague, it was natural to find evidence of the crime, so he wrote a memorial in tears overnight and handed it over.
But who would have thought that Shen Ao was not hurt at all, but was even more popular. Yang Lin was frightened and felt that the disaster was coming.
Early in the morning, the chief clerks went to the temple’s hall to narrate, sorted out the letters of national envoys from various countries and some secret reports from various countries. Chen Ao was looking at the documents handed over by the Xixia people, and suddenly put down the documents in his hand and said calmly: "I heard that a few Japanese people were causing trouble in Bianjing a few days ago. It is said that they were the Japanese students sent by the Japanese. Why didn’t the Tongwenguan report on this matter?"
Yang Lin's face looked like earth and did not dare to speak out. Originally, Tongwenguan was responsible for the affairs of the ***, but the affairs of the Japanese were usually handled by Tongwenguan. Lord Shen suddenly came out to speak out, wasn't he just taking the opportunity to take revenge? Yang Lin was completely disappointed and thought that this was over. Not only did he not have any hope of promotion, he would even lose his job in Tongwenguan.
"Why don't you speak?" Chen Ao's tone was still calm.
"Master...Master..." Yang Lin thought of his words and said aiqi: "The Japanese have already caused trouble in Bianjing. This matter is not taken care of according to the usual rules. After all, the Japanese envoys are very respectful to our Song Dynasty and sent envoys to pay tribute to us several times..."
"What are these words?" Chen Ao interrupted him: "If you are very respectful, you can act recklessly and cause trouble in the territory of our Song Dynasty. Where did this rule come from?"
This stern shout scared everyone, looked at Chen Ao with breath, thinking in his heart: "Yang Lin is finished."
Chen Ao leaned against the back cushion of the seat, picked up the tea and drank slowly, and then said, "Everyone is out, Yang Lin stays."
In an instant, Shaoqing and the temple quietly retreated with the chief clerks in shame, and even the recorded records were hidden aside.
"Sir... I'm damn..." Yang Lin's servant knelt on the ground, and he didn't dare to show off his anger.
Chen arrogantly said: "It's not that damn it. You are responsible for the exchanges of ***. The Japanese people have to worry about it. They should take care of what they should be, otherwise what do you, the chief clerk, do you? Be careful, the murderer who caused the accident should take it. You don't have so much politeness, do you remember?"
Yang Lin heard Chen Ao's tone eased, and was shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly said, "Yes, the official understands, take it as long as it should, and he will be severely punished."
Chen Ao waved his hand and said, "Just follow the rules."
Yang Lin said yes repeatedly.
Chen Aocai said quietly: "I have read your memorial. It is well written, and it takes a lot of effort, right?"
Yang Lin raised his heart again and begged for mercy and said, "Damn it, Xia Guan is so worried after eating lard, he just wants to curry favor..." He didn't dare to say the name behind him, but just kept bowing, and cold sweat soaked his clothes.
Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "I have checked your files. You were a Jinshi in the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo, but you have no share of being released. First, I went to Dali Temple and later to Honglu Temple. Didn't you? I stayed in Honglu Temple for more than ten years. Although I was promoted to the chief clerk, I accidentally fell into Tongwenguan. Fortunately, you have not made any mistakes in Tongwenguan in the past few years, and it is still acceptable."
Chen Ao said that Yang Lin was so scared that his face was pale. He even figured out his own details. I guess the rumors that Lord Shen would be revenge is not groundless.
Chen Ao said, "You should do things with your heart, don't always think about taking advantage of yourself. To put it bluntly, even if you want to be accomplice Cai Jing to Hu, others may not be able to like you. I will keep an eye on whether you are doing well or not. As long as you do it well, you will naturally not be allowed to stay in the Tongwenguan for the rest of your life."
Yang Lin couldn't believe his ears, and then he felt a little bit of emotion after the disaster. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said gratefully: "Xiaguan is really damn. The lord is willing to say these words to Xiaguan. Even if Xiaguan is crushed, it will be hard to repay."
Chen Ao has no need to care about such a person who is not satisfied with talent. It is human nature to attract people to be strong and possess the power. If you really want to take revenge, he will not be able to take revenge. Giving him some sweetness now can also bring his gratitude. In the future, it will be fine if you have a confidant in the Honglu Temple.
Although Chen Ao was vengeful, he also knew the principle of forgiveing others and waved his hand lightly: "Go to do the Japanese affairs now, and just inform Jingzhao Mansion to get people."
Yang Lin thanked him very much.
Chen Ao picked up the Xixia document on the table again, couldn't help but press his temple, and sneered: "This Xixia man is really arrogant. Humph, let's see how long he can jump around."
Time passed quietly, and it was already spring, and the envoys from various countries also arrived one after another. Honglu Temple gradually became busy. Chen Ao buried his head in the case, gradually became a little anxious. Before he knew it, it was the end of the month. According to the principle, the court held a grand court discussion every other month, and all six ministries and nine ministers had to participate. This was a summary of the end of the month. As the minister of Dali Temple, Chen Ao, of course, was qualified to participate.
