After the court meeting, Zhao Junchen left the Huangji Hall surrounded by his party members.
Along the way, many "Zhao Party" officials strongly condemned Young Master Guo Tang's bold behavior, and rushed to express their stance to Zhao Junchen, saying that they would never let Guo Tang go in the future and must vent their anger for Zhao Junchen.
Although the officials of the "Zhao Party" are all despicable people, they still have their own merits, that is, most of them are good at observing words and emotions, and know how to understand the intentions of their superiors.
Now, they naturally saw that Zhao Junchen was very angry at Guo Tang this morning, so in order to please Zhao Junchen, they all acted enthusiastically.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen was silent, secretly thinking about his method of rectifying Guo Tang.
Zhao Junchen's next action is not just as simple as "making Guo Tang look good"! Zhao Junchen has made up his mind to completely destroy everything about Guo Tang and take the opportunity to establish his authority!
After leaving the Huangji Hall, seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhao Junchen finally said slowly: "Tell me... what is the most important thing in Guo Tang's heart?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, the "Zhao Party" officials knew that Zhao Junchen had finally made up his mind to take action to rectify Guo Tang, and Zhao Junchen's action this time would not be light. They were all a little excited for a while, and they all
Provide suggestions and express opinions.
"The official thinks that the most important thing in Guo Tang's heart must be his official position. This person has never made any political achievements in his life. He only managed to get a post as a young master by relying on his moral articles and hard work. If
If we let him be dismissed from office, he will definitely be miserable!"
Chen Dongxiang himself is an official fanatic and has always been addicted to power. Now he uses himself to judge others and expresses his opinions first.
Zuo Lanshan shook his head and said: "Of course power and position are something that Guo Tang values but it may not be the thing that he values the most. In my opinion, Guo Tang has always considered himself a leader of the Qing Dynasty, always fighting for his reputation as a virtuous person.
He is so complacent that the most important thing in his heart should be the reputation he has worked so hard to cultivate!"
Huo Zhengyuan smiled and said: "Although Guo Tang has always claimed to be a leader of Qingliu, and always said that he will never take bribes, form factions, or seek personal gain in his life, but that is also because he has a brother who can make money.
His name is Guo Min, he secretly runs a business, and has been secretly involved in the smuggling business based on Guo Tang's reputation. He has made a lot of money over the years! It is precisely because of Guo Min's support that Guo Tang can live a comfortable life and be pampered.
It is said that Guo Tang lived a very particular life. Even the paper he used to practice calligraphy was Chengxintang paper worth twenty or thirty taels of silver, Xuande tribute paper, and Cao's rice paper. The pen and ink he used daily were Huzhou Zihao, Shan
The most precious objects are Lianbi, Jiangzhengxuan jade ink, and a pool of spring green ink. I also like to collect all kinds of famous inkstones, such as Tao inkstone, Duan inkstone, She inkstone, and even famous inkstones from ancient times such as Guo Tang.
It's even better... In addition, Guo Tang also likes to collect ancient calligraphy and paintings. A few days ago, he spent 16,000 taels of silver to buy the second running script in the world, Yan Zhenqing's original "Manuscript of Memorials to My Nephew"..."
Hearing Huo Zhengyuan's introduction, everyone in the "Zhao Party" present was dumbfounded. Although they were all corrupt officials with a bad record, their cost in this regard was far inferior to that of Guo Tang.
Huo Zhengyuan continued to laugh and said: "Guo Tang's luxurious life is all based on his brother Guo Min's money-making methods. Although Guo Tang always prides himself on being honest, he can only stand and talk without backache! If Guo was gone,
With Min's support, Guo Tang's small salary may not even be enough for his own food and drink, let alone support his six wives and concubines. As for his daily use of the Four Treasures of the Study and ancient treasures, calligraphy and painting
Du, don’t even think about it! So, in my opinion, although Guo Tang has always despised gold and silver, the business firm run by his brother Guo Min is his real lifeblood! Without Guo Min, I would
Let’s see what qualifications Guo Tang has!”
As Huo Zhengyuan finished speaking, all the "Zhao Party" officials nodded empathetically. They usually couldn't stand the aloof appearance of the Qingliu people.
At the same time, Zhan Shan met several core officials of the "Zhao Party" who put forward their own opinions, but he did not have any suggestions. He couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and he quickly thought about it, trying to put forward some different suggestions.
Then, Zhan Shanchang suddenly remembered Guo Tang's family situation. He was moved in his heart and said quickly: "According to the official, Guo Tang has another lifeline, and that is his grandson Guo Mingtai! Although Guo Tang has three sons, but he is not
Due to his talent, he has not made any achievements in poetry, books and articles. He only barely entered the top three in the imperial examination. Now they are just some insignificant officials and have never been valued by Guo Tang! At the same time, Guo Tang only has one grandson.
His son, Guo Mingtai, is said to be quite talented. He is now only sixteen years old and has already become a supervisor of the Imperial College. He performed extremely well in the provincial examination, so he is deeply valued by Guo Tang and regards him as his successor. If
What surprises have happened to Guo Mingtai’s future..."
Speaking of this, Zhan Shanchang's face was full of sneers.
Then, everyone in the "Zhao Party" offered their opinions and suggestions one after another.
After Zhao Junchen heard the various opinions of the "Zhao Party" people, he nodded repeatedly in approval, while on the other hand he secretly lamented in his heart that he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. The ancients cannot afford to be honest with me!
Zhao Junchen also considers himself a villain, but now it seems that he is not despicable enough after all, but he is not like the others in the "Zhao Party" who can come up with so many extremely sinister ideas.
Naturally, Zhao Junchen accepted all the sinister suggestions from the "Zhao Party" people... without hesitation!
By the time everyone in the "Zhao Party" expressed their thoughts, Zhao Junchen's expression had returned to his usual calmness, and then he said in a very calm and gentle tone: "In that case, everyone should do what you think.
Bar."
After saying that, Zhao Junchen narrowed his eyes slightly and said again: "I will make Guo Tang cry and die within three days! You all go ahead and handle it boldly. If anything happens, I will naturally help you."
Keep it going! Of course, when you make any moves, remember to report the news to me first! If there is no coordination, I am afraid it will mess up the overall situation!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, most of the "Zhao Party" officials became energetic and ready to take action!
Eliminating dissidents and undermining political opponents have always been what they are best at and what they like to do most.
In the past, Zhao Junchen had been deliberately suppressing them so that they could not give full play to their advantages. Now Zhao Junchen finally relaxed and let them do it boldly. These people are naturally excited!
So, in the next few days, everyone in the government and the public witnessed Zhao Junchen's revenge methods!
However, just when Zhao Junchen said goodbye to everyone in the "Zhao Party" and was about to go to the Hubu Yamen to work, the eunuch Zhang Deze suddenly arrived and announced to Zhao Junchen that Emperor Deqing had summoned him.
