Let’s talk about Xiao Wenxuan. Although this person is a bit extreme in temperament and not tactful in his dealings with others, he is definitely not a stupid person. 【Read the latest chapter】
In fact, it's the complete opposite. Xiao Wenxuan is a smart man, both quick-witted and full of talents. Previously, he single-handedly suppressed Li Rui, Su Rao, and other three or four talented people in the battle of wits. The scholar is the proof.
And Xiao Wenxuan is so smart that he has long recognized that Zhao Junchen has an extraordinary status. Through Zhao Junchen's financial support to Li Ruiyin, he knows that Zhao Junchen has a good fortune; through the interior decoration of the carriage Zhao Junchen rides, he understands that Zhao Junchen has a distinguished status. , and even received tributes from the imperial court; and when he followed Zhao Junchen to Tianhai Tower, the shopkeeper did not reveal Zhao Junchen's identity, but claimed to be a "caomin". Obviously Zhao Junchen must be an official in the court; and through Zhao Junchen Junchen's conversation with the shopkeeper of Tianhai Tower revealed that Zhao Junchen was now "first recovering from his illness."
In this way, Xiao Wenxuan has obtained many clues, but these clues alone are still not enough for him to determine Zhao Junchen's true identity.
However, at this moment, as Liu Zimin said, "Master Zhao, he has recovered physically," Xiao Wenxuan suddenly thought that all the information about the person in front of him was related to the person he originally wanted to seek refuge with, Zhao Junchen, Master Zhao. They are all exactly the same!
He is wealthy, has a distinguished status, is an official in the court, has just recovered from a serious illness, and is even the same young age!
How many people in the capital can completely match these clues?
Thinking back to the person in front of me, he was very concerned about the information of Zeng Wei, Zhao Shancai and others before. He asked me in detail, but he did not mention Liu Zimin who brought them together. It seemed that he already knew everything about Liu Zimin. generally!
The combination of these clues gave Xiao Wenxuan an almost impossible idea.
Could it be that the person in front of him turned out to be the current Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister in charge of the internal transportation warehouse, who could overthrow the old Wen Guanliang of the DPRK and the most favored official of the DPRK and Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen, overnight?
Thinking about it this way, although it seems a bit unbelievable, the more I think about it, the more possible it becomes. This way. Xiao Wenxuan couldn't help but feel excited. He had lost his composure and wanted to prove it, but he didn't know how to say it. He was so helpless that he broke the plate in front of him.
Because of this, Xiao Wenxuan also attracted the attention of the surrounding students.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liu Zimin because of Zhao Junchen. Xiao Wenxuan's existence has already been discovered.
But because Xiao Wenxuan deliberately kept a low profile before, other students didn't realize that Xiao Wenxuan was sitting aside until now.
After seeing Xiao Wenxuan, some of these students showed sarcasm and sneer, obviously remembering the fact that Xiao Wenxuan was excluded by them a few days ago, and they were obviously more aggressive in temperament; others looked calm. He even nodded to Xiao Wenxuan, which was quite a bit like "gentlemen should keep in touch with each other without making any bad noise", but the city was rather deep.
As for Zeng Wei, he first looked at the reactions of the people around him, and then gestured to Xiao Wenxuan with a slightly reserved smile. His expression was gentle, but he did not show much closeness. It seems that he knows the reason why Xiao Wenxuan was excluded. So I didn't intend to arouse other people's resentment because of Xiao Wenxuan; as for Xiao Shancai, he looked at Xiao Wenxuan for a few times. But he focused his eyes on Zhao Junchen, showing a slightly thoughtful expression.
And these reactions can more or less explain their temperament and scheming, and they all fell into Zhao Junchen's eyes one by one.
"Oh, isn't this Xiao Wenxuan, Brother Xiao? Are you dining here today?" As if he had just discovered Xiao Wenxuan's existence, Liu Zimin said loudly to Xiao Wenxuan in a slightly pretentious manner: "Brother Xiao, you were once close to me. , but in recent days, I have gradually become distant for some unknown reason. Every time I think about this, I can't help but feel very regretful."
As he said that, he seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Wenxuan was squeezed out by him. Liu Zimin sighed and continued: "However, at today's party, I saw Brother Xiao again. I was really happy. Obviously Brother Xiao Ding is with me. When we are destined, I wonder if we can sit together at the same table?"
Seeing Liu Zimin's attitude like this, all the students were stunned. They didn't understand why Liu Zimin showed his acceptance of Xiao Wenxuan again, but they couldn't refute, they just looked at Xiao Wenxuan.
Zeng Wei was also stunned, but he quickly reacted, stood up and said with a smile: "That's right. It's a big regret for me that I can't discuss knowledge with Brother Xiao in these days."
Although he was invited by Liu Zimin and Zeng Wei, he was embarrassed at first and anxious to find out Zhao Junchen's true identity. Xiao Wenxuan was just about to refuse when Zhao Junchen, who was sitting aside, suddenly smiled and said: " That's right, Brother Xiao, you and these students are all candidates for the current examination, so it's appropriate to get closer to them, so you don't need to accompany me today."
However, Zhao Junchen already understood what Xiao Wenxuan was thinking at this time, but he did not want to tangle with Xiao Wenxuan anymore. He just signaled to Liu Zimin through his own statement that he would give Xiao Wenxuan another chance, and then see if Xiao Wenxuan can change his mentality next. Be on the same page with yourself.
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Xiao Wenxuan's expression changed, and he seemed to understand that Zhao Junchen did not want to tangle with him anymore, but seeing Liu Zimin's statement made him more sure of his suspicions, but he did not dare to go against Zhao Junchen's wishes. , hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, cupped his hands to Liu Zimin and Zeng Wei and said: "Since Brother Liu and Brother Zeng said so, and they respect each other as brothers, then I won't be polite to you."
With regret, Xiao Wenxuan stood up and was hesitating which table to go to. After all, Liu Zimin brought more than 20 students and filled three or four tables. At this time, Liu Zimin understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts and his attitude changed. Even more clearly, he called out loudly and affectionately: "Brother Xiao, come quickly and sit with me."
Seeing Liu Zimin's statement like this, all the students were stunned again.
As mentioned before, the seating arrangement is actually very particular. Being at the same table with Liu Zimin, Zeng Wei, and Zhao Shancai means that you are the core figure in their small circle.
Does Liu Zimin not only want to re-accept Xiao Wenxuan, but also focus on making friends?
Except for a few people on the field, most students were puzzled by Liu Zimin's sudden change.
Naturally, they didn't know that Zhao Junchen himself would conceal his identity and come to observe them secretly because of a coincidence. At this time, he was sitting at the same table with Xiao Wenxuan. And Liu Zimin had this in mind. After seeing the relationship between Xiao Wenxuan and Zhao Junchen, I will deliberately make friends again.
I originally thought that the matter would end there, but unexpectedly, when Xiao Wenxuan had just walked halfway, Zhao Shancai, who had been sizing up Zhao Junchen, stood up, clasped his fists at Zhao Junchen with a smile and said, "I don't know what the name of this brother is? Are you talking to me again?" What's the relationship with Brother Xiao? You have an extraordinary temperament. You must be an extraordinary person. Why don't you come with Brother Xiao and sit here with me?"
This Zhao Shancai's voice is different from his rough appearance, but similar to Zhao Junchen's imagination. It is gentle and soft, which makes people feel good.
at the same time. Zeng Wei also noticed Zhao Junchen's presence. He looked at Liu Zimin, Xiao Wenxuan, and Zhao Shancai with a thoughtful look in his eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say anything more. In silence, he looked at Zhao Junchen carefully.
Zhao Junchen stood up and clasped his fists in return. He smiled and said, "That's no need. I met Brother Xiao by chance today and talked about speculation. That's why we came here to eat together, but we don't know each other well, so it's not easy to sit with you all. Let's just feel free to do it."
Zhao Junchen rejected Zhao Shancai's invitation. Although he wanted to take Zhao Shancai for his own use, it was not now.
What's more, meeting a group of students with such a concealed identity, it seems like a chance encounter now. If we are at the same table with them, we still conceal our identities and meet them as equals. If our identities are revealed in the future, it will be looked down upon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After this episode, after Xiao Wenxuan sat down, under Liu Zimin's deliberate guidance, and Xiao Wenxuan was quite low-key at this time, just silent, except for a few interested people, most of the students ignored Zhao Junchen's words. His existence was just to continue talking about Zhao Junchen's "recovery from illness", and he seemed to be very happy about it. During this period, he did not mention the toasts and congratulations, but Zhao Junchen was happy to continue to observe secretly from the sidelines.
But after drinking for a few times, Zeng Wei raised his glass again and said to Liu Zimin: "As Brother Liu said, it is a great joy for Mr. Zhao to recover from his illness. However, Brother Liu and I are so lucky to know Mr. Zhao. But it is different. Although we are interested in paying homage to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao has a high family and a rich family and is not something we can easily see. However, our admiration and support for Mr. Zhao are also seen by Brother Liu, and we also invite Liu. Brother, we must explain our intentions to Mr. Zhao. If there is an opportunity, we must also ask Brother Liu to introduce us to Mr. Zhao. After all, these newcomers like us cannot compare with Brother Liu's qualifications, so we have to leave everything to Brother Liu. "
All the students agreed, but Zhao Shan was the only one who smiled and said nothing.
Hearing Zeng Wei's high praise for him, Liu Zimin couldn't help but feel proud. In order to show Zhao Junchen on the side that he had been working hard these days, he responded loudly: "This is natural. Mr. Zhao likes young talents like you the most. I know all this, and I have promised you a long time ago that as long as you are willing, Mr. Zhao will never treat you badly."
Zeng Wei smiled and nodded, and Bai Jun's face showed just the right amount of gratitude, saying, "Brother Liu is valued by Mr. Zhao. People like me and others have always understood that and can trust Brother Liu's righteousness."
On the other side, Zhao Junchen shook his head and laughed when he heard this conversation.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Zhao Junchen like this, Xu Qingyan asked curiously.
Zhao Junchen laughed softly and said: "This Zeng Wei is really capable. No wonder his status among this group of students is unknowingly higher than that of Liu Zimin. You must know that this Liu Zimin is supported by me among these students." He is the spokesperson. Although this Liu Zimin is a little clever, after all, he is still not as good as Zeng Wei with his family background."
Xu Qingyan was slightly stunned, but still didn't quite understand, and continued to ask: "Why did the young master say that?"
Zhao Junchen continued to explain: "Look at the conversation between these two people, Zeng Wei, consciously or unconsciously, classified himself and other students as 'newcomers' who intended to join my sect, and also classified Liu Zimin Classified as the "old people" who had already taken refuge in my sect, other students only felt that they were in a similar situation to Zeng Wei, and there was a generation gap between them and Liu Zimin. Although they wanted to take refuge in me, they felt that they were in a different situation for a while. He couldn't figure out the context of the factions under my sect, so in order to protect himself, he would naturally unite around Zeng Wei. It's ridiculous that Liu Zimin didn't realize it and still regarded himself as an 'old man', but he didn't know that this would draw a clear line between him and other students. .”
After a pause. Zhao Junchen shook his head again and said: "If Liu Zimin's own scheming methods, family background, talents, status and reputation can suppress others, then he can naturally take the opportunity to lead these students together by calling himself an 'old man' , became the leader of these people, but no matter what, he could not compare with that Zeng Wei, under Zeng Wei's deliberate creation. In the eyes of all the students, this Liu Zimin was just the leader who would join me in the future, but Zeng Wei was He is the leader of these students, yet Liu Zimin was unable to notice such a small trick, and was even proud of it. The gap between the two can be described as a judgment call."
After all, Xu Qingyan had seen a lot of ghosts and intrigues in the officialdom. After hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "The young master is still smart, and he can see through Zeng Wei's methods at a glance, just like the young master." As mentioned, Zeng Wei's father was a well-known old fox in the officialdom. His family had a long history of education. He must have learned a lot from him, but it was Liu Zimin. Although his father also served as an official in the court, he died early. Not to mention, before he died, he was just a stupid person played by Zhou Shangjing with applause, so he cannot be compared."
Because Liu Zimin treated his sister Liu Rui too harshly and ruthlessly, Xu Qingyan didn't like Liu Zimin, and he was quite gloating at this time.
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "But this Zeng Wei is indeed a talent. He moved closer to Liu Zimin decisively before, and he was quite decisive. Now when we look at him getting along with others, we find that he is still a cautious and careful person. You see He seems to get along with a group of students casually, but the changes in the expressions of the people around him are all reflected in his eyes. From small to large, he will be inspected for some time in the future. If you feel at ease, he can be reused."
Xu Qingyan nodded and asked, "Master, what do you think of the others?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "Others can't see anything for a while. I'm afraid they can only be regarded as 'available people' at most. They are not as outstanding as Zeng Wei, but take your time. I am now I started late and have a poor reputation. There are only a handful of outstanding talents in the world, and there are even fewer who are willing to use them. It’s pretty good to find these people now. Walk slowly and eat slowly. Be anxious. No."
Xu Qingyan nodded, turned to look at Zhao Shancai, and said, "It's a pity that Zhao Shancai is not sure whether he is willing to join the young master or not. Judging from his performance, it seems that he is still above Zeng Wei."
At this time, Liu Zimin and Zeng Wei were discussing something softly. They seemed to have opposite views. After Zhao Shancai made a few comments, they didn't know whether it was sincere or against their will, but they both nodded, showing a look of conviction along with the people around them.
This seems to be the reason why Zhao Shancai can gain a foothold in Liu Zimin's circle without ruining his reputation. Although this man has a rough appearance, he always has a rational and objective temperament that is convincing, just like a bystander.
Although Zhao Shancai was dining with Liu Zimin, Zeng Wei and others at this time, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Shancai's temperament was very different, but he was not like Liu Zimin and Zeng Wei. In the eyes of Liu Zimin, Zeng Wei and others, Zhao Shancai's existence was But he couldn't tolerate them being ignored, so he always subconsciously took the initiative to win over her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After observing for a while, Zhao Junchen had already finished eating the squirrel fish under his chopsticks. Feeling that he would never gain anything more, he decided to eat the squirrel fish. ?br />
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell in Tianhai Tower, and then I saw a book boy in green clothes and a small hat came to Tianhai Tower. After searching around, I found Zhao Shancai.
"Master! Master!" After seeing Zhao Shancai, the book boy's eyes turned red. Regardless of other people's opinions, he shouted loudly and quickly came to Zhao Shancai. Then he knelt down and said, "I just got the bad news. Teacher He Ming... …”
Hearing what the boy said, Zhao Shan's expression changed, his face turned pale, and he stood up suddenly: "Teacher He Ming, finally got news? He has always been in good health, how could there be bad news? What's going on? Tell me quickly! "
The book boy listened to Zhao Shancai's urging and said with a cry: "Just now, Shuntian Prefecture sent someone to find the young master, saying, Teacher He Ming, he just entered Zhili territory and encountered bandits who came from nowhere. The whole family No one survived, they were all mutilated, and then dumped in the mountains and fields for an unknown period of time. They were not discovered until yesterday. Because Teacher He Ming had a letter with the young master on his body, Shuntian Mansion is looking for the young master to question you. The news should be true.”
After hearing the book boy's words, Zhao Shancai let out a scream of "Ah" and passed out. His calm and rational temperament was gone for a moment.
The students around him were shocked by the news. They were shocked to see Zhao Shancai in this state and rushed to help.
On the other side, Zhao Junchen was also shocked by the sudden news.
He Ming, Zhao Junchen naturally knows this person.
Xiao Wenruan’s previous crown prince and grand master! He was not favored by Emperor Deqing because he taught the prince the emperor's mental skills too early, so he was replaced by Xiao Wenruan. Now, because of the prince's lack of mental skills in the court, Emperor Deqing has ordered him to return to Beijing and resume his duties as the crown prince. division!
And he was actually killed by bandits who came out of nowhere on his way to take office! ?
Even Zhao Junchen was confused when he suddenly received such news. He couldn't figure out how such an incident would change the situation in the court, and how he should deal with it!
But Zhao Junchen is sure that such an incident will definitely shock the government and the opposition!
Also, Zhao Shancai is actually He Ming’s disciple?
