"Thank you so much for your attention, Mr. Zhao. I will definitely serve Mr. Zhao as a dog and horse from now on, and I will follow the lead of Mr. Zhao!!"
The speaker's name is Jin Duode. Although he is just in his early thirties, he is already a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy. To be able to serve in the Hanlin Academy, he is naturally quite talented, especially his eloquence. As early as a quarter of an hour ago, He had already come to toast Zhao Junchen. Seeing that he was from the Hanlin Academy, Zhao Junchen was quite polite to him. (lingdiankanshu)
However, no one expected that this man was so eloquent and could talk endlessly that he had already been chatting with Zhao Junchen for a quarter of an hour.
Seeing Jin Duode entangled Zhao Junchen in this way, Zuo Lanshan, Zhan Shanchang, Tong Huan and others were dissatisfied, and they frowned and stared to show their dissatisfaction. However, although Jin Duode was good at eloquence, his eyesight was poor and he did not notice at all. .
Looking at Jin Duode, Zhan Shanchang sighed helplessly. Didn't he notice that Zhao Junchen's tone had gradually become a little cold?
Zhao Junchen has always been friendly and courteous to officials in the DPRK, but he has never changed his title of "official".
This approach is to make the officials of the DPRK and China feel that Zhao Junchen treats others cordially without forgetting the identity gap between the two parties.
And this Jin Duode obviously didn't notice this. He just saw that Zhao Junchen's demeanor and tone were all kind, so he just wanted to take the opportunity to build some relationships, but he never thought about letting Zuo Lanshan, Zhan Shanchang, and Chen Dongxiang go to court like this. Isn't it inappropriate for senior officials to sit and wait?
The officials who had toasted to Zhao Junchen before had all accepted it as soon as they were pleased, but this Jin Duode was the only one who forgot about it.
In desperation, Zhan Shanchang could no longer care about his bearing and coughed heavily.
Noticing Zhan Shanchang's cough, Jin Duode realized that he had gone too far, looked embarrassed, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Seeing Jin Duode leave, Zhao Junchen laughed and shook his head. Just now he could not help but drive away people with a cold face.
"This Jin Dodd is a wonderful man. He is very eloquent, but he doesn't know how to be an official."
Seeing Zhao Junchen ask this, everyone at the table was slightly startled.
After the officials toasted, Zuo Lanshan and others have discovered the pattern. If after an official toasts to Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen does not ask any questions and just continues chatting with everyone, it means that Zhao Junchen is very dissatisfied with this person. Satisfied, he did not intend to pay attention to that person's intention to seek refuge; but if Zhao Junchen asked for details, it would mean that Zhao Junchen had the intention of recruiting that person as a friend. After some understanding, if he still felt that it was suitable, Zhao Junchen would I will make a few comments about this person to let the officials present at the table understand that I will try to win over that person in the future.
And that Jin Dodd was undoubtedly the one with the worst impression among these officials, but they didn't expect that Zhao Junchen would actually be interested in him.
Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and said, "Being eloquent and speaking is also a skill. It may be useful in the future."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, everyone at the table nodded in understanding and turned their attention to Zhan Shanchang. Zhan Shanchang was originally the Minister of Rites and knew the Hanlin Academy well.
Zhan Shanchang frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "This Jin Duode is a Jinshi in the 26th year of Deqing. He is quite talented, but he is a little restless and a little greedy for money. He is of course the Qingshui Yamen of Hanlin Academy." I don’t want to stay any longer and have been wanting to move somewhere in recent years.”
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "It's good to be restless. If you are too restless, you won't be able to talk to us. We can get to know his details these days. If so, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a good place. It’s suitable for him to perform, but I don’t know if he can bear the burden.”
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, the faces of all the officials present at the table froze, and they naturally understood what Zhao Junchen meant. With Li Chengru being appointed as the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Lu Chunxiao, the censor of the right censor, who was originally the prince, From now on, Prince Zhu Heyu's influence in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will inevitably increase greatly.
And once Prince Zhu Heyu takes control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, life for all the officials here will probably not be easy.
And if Jin Duode went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a disciple of Zhao Junchen, he would definitely be ostracized even more.
Originally, Zhao Junchen, Zuo Lanshan and others, because of the large number of people at this banquet, were just chatting and getting closer, and did not involve government affairs.
But when he heard Zhao Junchen suddenly talk about this matter, he couldn't help but change his direction.
After a moment of silence, Chen Dongxiang took the lead and said: "Your Majesty has transferred Li Chengru to the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time as Zuodu Yushi. I am afraid that in addition to making room for Mr. Zhao, he also has the intention of protecting the prince."
Zuo Lanshan also said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises hundreds of officials and is also the mouthpiece of various factions. It is the most troublesome and complicated. If the prince wants to have complete control, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort, but a purge , is inevitable, but if he can really do it, then with the Metropolitan Procuratorate in hand, he will be safe."
While speaking, Zuo Lanshan looked at Gu Quan, his face full of sympathy.
Gu Quan nodded, with a bitter look on his face. As the right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, life would definitely be difficult when his immediate superiors all became the prince's people. He wanted to ask Zhao Junchen to change his position, but Judging from Zhao Junchen's attitude towards Jin Duode, it is obvious that he attaches great importance to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and is afraid that he will not be willing to let him leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhao Junchen could naturally see Gu Quan's worries, smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Mr. Wen Ge couldn't make you suffer in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, let alone me."
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Gu Quan nodded and said, "I will need more support from Mr. Zhao in the future."
While several people were talking, Tong Huan, who had been silent, suddenly discovered something. His eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face, and he said, "I didn't realize that he was here!"
"who?"
Hearing Tong Huan's surprised words, all the officials at the table turned around one after another, only to see an extremely pale young official holding up a wine glass and hesitating not far away from the crowd, as if he wanted to toast Zhao Junchen, but they saw that everyone was holding a wine glass. He said something with a serious face, but he didn't dare to get close.
After seeing this young official, everyone at the table was shocked!
"who is he?"
Zhao Junchen had never seen this young official before. It was obvious that he was of low power and official position, but he was able to arouse everyone's surprise. Zhao Junchen was naturally curious and couldn't help but ask.
You must know that among the officials present at the table, apart from Jiang Qian, they were at least third-rank officials with extensive knowledge and their own affairs. Who on earth could surprise them so much?
