"Li Xun is just a governor who is about to collapse. Why can he be my adoptive father?"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned, his expression was full of disbelief, and he seemed a little aggrieved.
In Xu Qingyan's eyes, Li Xun was just a governor who was about to collapse, and he was obviously not worthy of being his adoptive father.
Not to mention that Li Xun is about to collapse. Even if Li Xun is still in a stable official position, Xu Qingyan will not take him seriously.
Aiming high and aiming high, with an empty stomach and a high heart, probably refers to people like Xu Qingyan.
In the final analysis, Xu Qingyan was just Zhao Junchen's long-term follower. Even if he was a governor who was about to collapse, his status would be much higher than him, but Xu Qingyan just didn't like him.
In Xu Qingyan's heart, there is no difference between him and Zhao Junchen inside and outside. Zhao Junchen's success or failure is equivalent to his own success or failure. In the past, when Zhao Junchen was still in despair, he followed Zhao Junchen to share the joys and sorrows. Now,
Zhao Junchen was already one of the powerful officials in the dynasty, and he followed Zhao Junchen in wealth and status, so his vision and pride were exactly the same as Zhao Junchen. Zhao Junchen looked down on Li Xun, so he naturally looked down on Li Xun.
Xun.
But it is precisely because of this mentality that Xu Qingyan is selfless when facing Zhao Junchen, so he becomes the most trusted person around Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen knew Xu Qingyan's thoughts very well and did not want Xu Qingyan to change his thoughts. Naturally, he could not accuse Xu Qingyan of anything.
After seeing Xu Qingyan's disbelief and self-conscious grievance, Zhao Junchen just shook his head and laughed, and patiently explained: "What? After all, Li Xun is also a governor, and you are just a white man, and you still feel aggrieved?... I also know that you can't see it
Go to Li Xun, but the main reason why I asked you to recognize him as your adoptive father is to use this relationship to gain access to Annanbo's Zheng family!
As long as you recognize Li Xun as your adoptive father, Annanbo Zheng Zhilong can become your uncle! Such an uncle can't be said to have wronged you, right? You know, Zheng Zhilong's power, wealth, and status are all still there.
Above me!
There is a deep gap between the Zheng family and the imperial court, and it is not easy to establish a relationship with them. If I had direct contact with the Zheng family, the Zheng family would definitely be suspicious. Just to resolve the Zheng family's precautions, I decided to
It takes several years, which can be said to be half the result with twice the effort;
But if you become Li Xun's adopted son, you can easily meet Zheng Zhilong in person, and you will have the opportunity to win Zheng Zhilong's trust and favor! At that time, you will represent me to discuss cooperation with the Zheng family.
The hostility and rejection of the Zheng family can be resolved to a great extent, and many of the early troubles will be solved, and my ocean-going plan will be more effective with half the effort."
After listening to Zhao Junchen's explanation, Xu Qingyan was still a little reluctant and muttered: "If you put it this way, after I recognize Li Xun as my adoptive father, I still have to rush to Taiwan to meet Zheng Zhilong?... We are lucky.
It took such a long time to finally end the affairs between Shaanxi and Gansu, but before I can return to the capital, you want to send me to Taiwan thousands of miles away without letting me take a break..."
Seeing Xu Qingyan's attitude, Zhao Junchen looked a little confused.
In his spare time, Zhao Junchen also briefly talked to Xu Qingyan about ocean trade, so Xu Qingyan should be very clear about how much money Zhao Junchen can make and how much benefits he can get after reaching a cooperation with Annanbo's Zheng family!
It stands to reason that with Xu Qingyan's money-grubbing temperament, he should have been impatient after seeing such a business that was making huge profits every day, and would never care about his own grievances and hardships, nor would he complain about anything.
However, Xu Qingyan still looked reluctant, which made Zhao Junchen a little surprised.
Thinking back carefully, Xu Qingyan was already a little strange!
A few days ago, when Zhao Junchen was still staying in Huamachi Camp, even though he could get large sums of bribes every day, Xu Qingyan still complained from time to time, saying that the environment in Huamachi Camp was too harsh. During this period,
Life is too hard, so I can't wait to return to the capital.
It stands to reason that after seeing a large amount of foreign money coming in every day, Xu Qingyan should be happy and unwilling to miss Shu!
While secretly doubting in his heart, Zhao Junchen suddenly thought of something, and his heart couldn't help but move.
Then, Zhao Junchen looked at Xu Qingyan with a strange expression and asked: "You... have been eager to return to the capital during this period. Could it be that you miss Chu Jiayi in your heart?"
In fact, Zhao Junchen has long discovered that Xu Qingyan's attitude towards Chu Jiayi is somewhat different. Whenever Chu Jiayi appears, Xu Qingyan always likes to express himself.
As Zhao Junchen finished speaking, Xu Qingyan's expression suddenly changed, his voice rose an octave, and he said quickly: "Chu, Chu Jiayi? Why should I miss her? I just left the capital for too long, I want to
Go back and have a rest! What does it have to do with Chu Jiayi! ... Young master, stop talking! Isn’t it just that you recognize Li Xun as your adoptive father and then go to Taiwan to meet Zheng Zhilong? I just agree!"
After mentioning Chu Jiayi's name, Xu Qingyan immediately agreed to Zhao Junchen's proposal.
From this point of view, Xu Qingyan is indeed attracted to Chu Jiayi.
At Xu Qingyan's age, it is normal to have a sweetheart, and it is time to start a family and start a career.
Chu Jiayi is of course a very outstanding woman. Her appearance is not inferior to Fang Ru and Cui Qianxue, second only to Zhang Yuer. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It can be said that she has both talent and appearance, and she is outstanding in all aspects. When paired with Xu Qingyan, she is also a perfect match.
More than enough.
If we put aside Zhao Junchen's relationship, Xu Qingyan is the one who is not worthy of Chu Jiayi.
However, Chu Jiayi's identity is a bit embarrassing. She is a remnant of the former Prince Gong, and she is also the spy of Prince Zhu Heyu. She entered the Zhao Mansion to take revenge on Zhao Junchen. If her hostility remains unchanged, what will happen in the future?
will be a hidden danger.
Zhao Junchen understands Xu Qingyan's character very well. He can be said to be shrewd and even a little clever, but he is completely unprepared for his own people. If Xu Qingyan is allowed to marry Chu Jiayi, he will be
Many confidential matters may be revealed to Chu Jiayi, which will definitely be extremely harmful!
The most important thing is that Xu Qingyan was never in Chu Jiayi's eyes. Whenever Chu Jiayi appeared, her eyes would only stay on Zhao Junchen and never pay attention to those around Zhao Junchen.
Xu Qingyan.
Therefore, in Zhao Junchen's opinion, Chu Jiayi is not a good match for Xu Qingyan.
However, Zhao Junchen regards Xu Qingyan as a brother. If Xu Qingyan really likes Chu Jiayi, Zhao Junchen will not interfere with Xu Qingyan's choice. He just thinks that after returning to the capital, he should find an opportunity to have a frank talk with Chu Jiayi.
.
The reason why Chu Jiayi wanted to take revenge on Zhao Junchen was because Zhao Junchen had framed her adoptive father, Prince Gong. But in the end, Zhao Junchen did this because of Emperor Deqing's attitude, so Zhao Junchen wanted to
You need to explain this clearly to Chu Jiayi and let her understand who her real enemy is.
Chu Jiayi has long been useless. If it weren't for Xu Qingyan, Zhao Junchen would definitely be too lazy to waste his time and energy for her.
But if Chu Jiayi is still unwilling to change the hatred in her heart after Zhao Junchen has a frank conversation with Chu Jiayi, Zhao Junchen has no choice but to let Chu Jiayi die.
At the same time, Xu Qingyan also had to do something to impress Chu Jiayi.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen nodded calmly and said: "Now that you have figured it out, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I will hold a banquet tonight for you to recognize Li Xun as your adoptive father! This
After this matter is over, you should set off as soon as possible and rush to Taiwan to see Zheng Zhilong! This matter is very important and must be promoted as soon as possible!"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Xu Qingyan nodded with a grimace and finally stopped complaining.
Zhao Junchen said seriously: "A man should establish a career, and you can't always stay by my side as a long-term follower. Even if you don't want to change and are content with this, a man should still make a difference in his life...
…If you can help me gain access to Annanbo’s Zheng family and promote my cooperation with Zheng Zhilong, this matter will definitely affect the situation between the government and the opposition, and countless people will change their destiny because of you... I’ll wait until you
When you get married and have children in the future, this matter will also become something you can boast about when facing your wife and children!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Xu Qingyan's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and his expression became more motivated.
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "In addition to you, I will also ask another person to recognize Li Xun as his adoptive father. Afterwards, I will also ask him to rush to Taiwan with you to meet Zheng Zhilong! This person's character
He is quite perseverant and should be the type that Zheng Zhilong likes. If you two go to see Zheng Zhilong together, you will have a greater chance of success!"
Xu Qingyan was a little curious and asked: "Who is this person?"
Zhao Junchen replied: "You have also seen this person. He is my original substitute - Mo Xiaolin!"
During the Xiaochuan River War, Mo Xiaolin became Zhao Junchen's substitute because of his similar appearance. He rushed into the battlefield to lure the enemy, and personally killed a large number of Mongolian cavalry. In the end, Mo Xiaolin successfully completed the lure.
He was on an enemy mission, but his right cheek was also injured and his appearance was disfigured.
This person has a resolute and courageous character and outstanding martial arts skills. He is exactly the type of junior that Zheng Zhilong likes. After the Xiaochuan River War, Zhao Junchen promised Mo Xiaolin that he would give him a good future. This matter
It is also a great opportunity for Zhao Junchen to fulfill his promise.
