Chapter 573: Hu Hansan is back
Zhao Ji's words were already very rude. No wonder he got angry. It would be fine if he slandered Chen Ao outside, but if he said too much, it would inevitably make Zhao Ji think of other things. In Zhao Ji's opinion, Chen Ao's trip was indeed wrong, and it would be good for people to scold him. However, after crossing the bottom line, he remembered that he cursed Chen Ao in a roundabout way and finally scolded himself. As the emperor, he was very happy to be successful. How could he allow people to criticize him like this? Even if he was an unintentional mistake, it would be unforgivable.
Zhao Ji looked cold and stood still, and continued, "There is another thing that I have heard that Qing dynasties said that the prince was humble and generous, well-educated, and more diligent and simple. Is it like a wise ruler?"
Yang Jian heard Zhao Ji's voice over, his eyelids twitched, and immediately realized that scolding Chen Ao was just an excuse, and the sentence His Majesty was going to elicit is the key point.
The evaluation of humility and magnanimity and knowledgeable knowledge is nothing, but the bad is the word "diligence and simplicity". Everyone in the world knows that Zhao Ji is a squandering emperor. Zhao Ji also knows this in his heart, but he has always had poor self-control and gradually has no interest in paying attention to other people's advice. But when the son squanders today, the prince is simple...
If the prince has a wise monarch, does not mean that he is a foolish lord today?
Now that the emperor is not dead, he just said that the crown prince is a wise king. He just said it privately, but he still shouted out loud, fearing that the whole Bianjing would not know. At this time, Zhao Ji couldn't help but wonder what these people wanted to do, could it be someone instructed behind the scenes and who was the instructor?
The answer is about to come out, but this answer hits Zhao Ji's worries. The royal family has always been able to trust foreign vassals and rely on foreign ministers, but there is always a bit of suspicion and estrangement between father and son, and between brothers and brothers. Before the emperor died, he just held the crown prince like this. Do you really think Zhao Ji is a dead person?
Zhao Ji looked back coldly, his eyes fell on Yang Jian: "What is he going to do to seek fame and reputation?"
I don’t know whether the word "he" refers to the prince or the Qing Notice. Yang Jian knew that he could not interfere with the affairs of the Tian family, but just buried his head and kept silent.
Zhao Ji continued: "As a grand crown prince, can't the court afford him? He insisted on him being simple and simple? The Zongling Mansion allocated more than 1,000 yuan of annual salary to him every year is not enough for him to eat and wear? Do you insist on him being diligent and thrifty?"
Yang Jian whispered: "Your Majesty, the night wind is chilly. Did you close the window?"
Zhao Ji said with a stern face: "You don't have to turn aside. I will only tell you these words. My prince is so distorted. He has a bit of filial piety in his heart when he does this. If he wants to be a perfect person, what should I do?"
This series of problems burst out like a cannon, and Yang Jian was even more difficult to say, just smiled and said, "I am ignorant of these things, Your Majesty..."
Zhao Ji interrupted him: "It is because you are ignorant that I am willing to tell you." He sat back on the desk and his face regained his normal expression: "The gossipers need to deal with it, and this is also for the prince's good and let him know the rules."
Yang Jian lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "To this point, it is not a clear discussion, but it is confusing. But what you are right. This matter cannot be left to others. All my ministers are sloppy. Such bad reputations must be perfunctory. When Chen Ao comes back, with him here, I can do more things on this side."
Yang Jian just smiled faintly, and carefully closed the window that Zhao Ji pushed open, saying, "Your Majesty, Chen Ao has not come back yet, there are so many things to point at him. It's hard to think about him. His reputation has become bad. He is doing things for his infamy, and it's also a blessing to him."
This seemingly unintentional sentence seemed to hit Zhao Ji's thoughts. Zhao Ji thought about it and suddenly laughed and scolded, "Who told me to trust him the most, and who made him so capable of doing things?"
After saying that, Zhao Ji's mood improved a lot, and a little warmth rose in his heart, saying, "I promised him to give him a landscape painting. I have to rest early today. I will start writing early tomorrow morning, and maybe a flash of inspiration will appear. Also, when Chen Ao returns to Beijing, there is no need to rush to summon him into the palace. Let him go home first and have a good rest. He sympathizes with me, and I should sympathize with him."
Yang Jian agreed.
Zhao Ji thumped, stretched his waist and went to rest. Many other palace servants came in and arranged for the eunuchs. Yang Jian quietly retreated from the attic, facing the dim starlight, and a smile appeared on his face. This smile came from his heart.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Chen Ao took a sea boat to Suhang. In Suhang, Zeng Sui'anhui and officials from various yamen were waiting for a long time. Chen Ao got on ashore, so he naturally had to socialize. At this time, officials from Suhang and Hangzhou saw Chen Ao's eyes, except for awe and fear. Those with the surname Chen went wherever they went, were really the nemesis of the officialdom. The rules in the officialdom were completely useless when they met Chen Lengzi. People were doing good deeds. They were obviously the top scholar, but they were not with you. They would not play with you or be honest. They would do anything against him, just drag their family and take their family out, wipe it a little, and everything was finished.
When you hit someone like this, you can only pinch your nose and walk around the road. You can't afford to offend, and you don't want to leave any impression in his memory. But when the king arrives, you can't take it with a smile, and you can't help but flatter. It's really a life.
Fortunately, Shen Ao didn't meet them. He just glanced at them and got into the sedan chair that had been prepared. Outside, there were also school captains guarding each other, pushing all officials aside. These officials didn't know whether to be angry or glad, and they didn't even dare to whisper. They didn't even dare to ride a horse in front of Shen Lengzi, so they had to follow him from afar.
They are usually glamorous, with five or six people, but now they are all porters. From the dock to the dusty area, there are at least seven or eight miles. Usually, everyone is pampered. In order to exercise their health, some people will take a few steps in the mansion, but such a long distance makes their legs and feet sore and they almost can't move. But they can't complain, so they can only grit their teeth and hold on.
When the reception was gone, everyone had to say some clichés, all of which were shining. When the banquet ended, Chen Ao called Zeng Sui'an inside to speak. People outside could only sit and wait with teacups in awkwardly.
Chen Ao's journey through Suzhou and Hangzhou was not once or twice. He was close friends with Zeng Sui'an, and he had no cover. He just went straight to the point and asked about the sea. Zeng Sui'an was prepared and answered one by one. In fact, his method was Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, how to do it in Quanzhou and how to do it in Suzhou, and how to do it in Suzhou, and there was nothing to say.
As for the officials and businessmen in Suzhou, of course, they are not as strong as those in Quanzhou. All the people in Quanzhou are dead. Suzhou dare not have any resistance. They are all trying their best to cooperate, for fear of being a ghost under the knife. Therefore, Zeng Sui'an's decree is more open than that in Quanzhou. If the rules are carried out, they will pay taxes if they are not met. They will be asked to pay taxes, and they will be pinched as they want to, and no one dares to say anything.
Chen Ao asked some questions and was generally satisfied. When he went to the dock, he also saw the difference between Suhang and Hang and the past, so he said to Zeng Sui'an: "Brother Zeng, I won't say anything to you. You have to watch Suhang well. If you do well, you will definitely have a good future in the future. I don't have to tell you about other things. When will you go to Beijing in the future? I will be the host. Please drink and see the beauty."
Zeng Sui'an heard it quite well at first, but the sentence he said to the beauty came out made him feel embarrassed and coughed.
After reminiscing about some old friendship, Chen Ao was tired, so he asked someone to go out and tell the officials that they didn't have to wait and let them disperse themselves. He rested in Zeng Sui'an's office that night.
He stayed in Suzhou and Hangzhou for three or four days, and his main concern was not about sea routes, but about checking the May Day decrees in various places. He was afraid that the decrees would not be implemented. The wealthy families here threw their fields and planted mulberry trees on their backs. However, after watching the whole way, they were relieved. There were also people who crossed the ball, but they all played the edge. The government agreed that they could only leave 20% of the land to plant mulberry trees, and some people quietly spread a few acres of land and the government could not take care of them. No matter how many, no one dared to do so. This was a matter of Chen Lengzi's repeated orders. No one dared to take such a big risk for the sake of profit.
Since that was the case, Chen Ao had no choice but to turn a blind eye, wandered over, set off on a canal boat and headed north along the way, and arrived at the capital.
Someone had reported the news of Chen Ao entering Beijing to the masters, and the various mansions had different reactions. Some were secretly happy, some were moved, and some were people who prepared gifts to visit. Qing Dynasty spokespersons, but became more and more fierce. Chen Ao hasn't returned to Beijing for so long, and no one cared about it. Everyone was scolding him, but now the master came back, and it was like a gunpowder barrel was detonated, and there were all kinds of rumors. There were even those who said that Chen Ao was raising a dead soldier in Quanzhou and planned to come back to kill the lord and rebel.
Most of them still scold, repeatedly scolding, and they don’t feel annoyed at all. Any articles that curse wonderfully will be copied everywhere and spread.
Some people have seen Chen Ao's weaknesses. Chen Ao killed them all confirmed the rebellion. At least they can be involved in it if they are far-fetched. What are they afraid of? Does Chen's name dare to behead them? If he dares to beat him in front of him, that would be even better. It just confirms Chen Ao's reputation and can enhance his reputation. Why not do it?
Fame, fortune, fame and fortune, and arrogance will damage others' profits and can also help others' fame. It's really a ghost if you don't scold him. Everyone is a person with fame and fortune, and I don't want to rely on the official position, who is afraid of whom?
In the past, Chen Ao was in Quanzhou, no matter how fierce you scolded him, he would be talking about right and wrong behind his back. He was not really brave. Now, Shen Ao came back and cursed him hard for a few words to be satisfied, and he could show his spirit. As long as there were a few bold people, the scholars who had already stopped were excited and even rampant, and there were endless ways to curse him. Such people, such as wine shops, Qingguans, and fireworks, and some people were not satisfied with poetry, and they even made jokes, made jokes and wrote stories. Anyway, they were all tricks for scholars to use the past to describe the present, taking an example from the previous dynasty and putting Chen Ao’s examples into it. Anyone who is more sensitive to this knows who they are talking about.
When Chen Ao entered the capital, he had no intention to send him to the palace, so he went home quietly and didn't care about anything else. When he returned home, the concierge came over to greet him in surprise. After a while, Liu Sheng came out and welcomed Chen Ao happily. But along the way, he became worried and secretly said: "Prince, there are many rumors in this capital..."
Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "I know this, why are you doing with a bitter face? It's okay."
Chen Ao stepped on his hands, calm and composed, and had a plan to deal with it. In fact, from the beginning, he had made arrangements to subdue these Qingliu, who could only speak and never do things. Chen Ao had some solutions. Before that, he had secretly asked people to let these Qingliu lead the topic to the prince. The prince had said good things last time for the Quanzhou official businessman, and Qingyi advised him to protect him. At this time, Chen Ao shouted that he would be too uncontrollable to promote the prince's wiseness.
Chen Ao knew very well that as long as these words came out, no matter whether it was Qingyi or the prince, there would be someone who would be in trouble.
Needless to say, the prince went to Quanzhou to rectify the maritime affairs. This guy suddenly jumped out to gain fame and was looking for his reputation. He actually wanted to protect the officials and businessmen. In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate his party members and wanted Chen Ao to make his wedding dress. How could Chen Ao take advantage of him? He has always been the only one who takes advantage of others.
As for the so-called Qing Discussion, it is actually a group of Quanzhou stakeholders in the capital who are clamoring. These people are more or less connected with Quanzhou officials and businessmen, and some of them have many wealth from Quanzhou. Now that Shen Ao has ruined their jobs, of course he has to scold them.
Since they were going to scold, Chen Ao would certainly dare to beat him.
