Chapter 710 Chen Zhao is like an ant
The convoy started and headed towards Leshan.
Half an hour later, when we arrived at a post station, we were greeted by a group of richly dressed people.
Chen Zhao frowned slightly, glanced at Shi Wuzun, and said, "This Eunuch Cao doesn't shy away from traveling at all."
Shi Wuzun nodded and sighed: "Being ostentatious and taking advantage of opportunities to make money, the eunuchs of the inner court since ancient times are no exception."
It turned out that both of them had already seen that this group of gorgeously dressed people were all relatives of officials in the middle of Sichuan, or some wealthy businessmen clinging to the powerful.
Hearing that the chief steward next to the Supreme Leader of the Orthodox Dynasty was here, of course he had to receive him well and even offer gold, silver and delicacies to make Eunuch Cao happy.
In fact, as long as the officials in the government are not affiliated with Guozhou Prefecture, they are all local Bailihou, with great power. In the feudal era, it was easy and satisfying to become an official and make a fortune.
As for the Bailihous of the orthodox dynasty, as long as they don't offend the local martial arts sects and form a good relationship with them, they will naturally be less afraid of the mud-legged people making trouble, and it will be easier for them to become officials and make a fortune.
Because it is too easy to exploit the people and make money.
It's nothing more than a clever trick to find a way to get money from the mud legs, and then give [-]% to the martial arts sect and keep [-]%, which is enough for the officials to spend their days and nights.
Don't underestimate the [-]%, although the [-]% is rewarded by the martial arts school, but it can't stand the money and safety!
Therefore, most officials do not seek to make progress, but they must also serve the servants around the dignitaries.
They don't ask these people to give them a few good words, they just ask them not to say bad things about themselves, so that they can finish this job safely, and then everything will be fine.
"I didn't expect this Eunuch Cao to have such a prominent position. I also saw Daguan Chen, the younger brother of the magistrate in central Shu."
Shi Wuzun shook his head and smiled.
The dignified magistrate of Shuzhong, a third-rank official, of course can't communicate with the eunuch in person. Once the news is spread, it will inevitably hurt his reputation, but it is appropriate to arrange for his family members to come.
"Oh? The master has not been to Shu for a long time, but he knows the relatives of the local parents and officials."
Chen Zhao asked casually.
Dugu Meng also looked puzzled.
Shi Wuzun smiled faintly: "To be fair to Mr. Chen, most of the information about our Sima family can be shared. The prefect of Shuzhong is extremely capable and does things flawlessly. If our Sima family wants to live in peace for a long time, we will naturally pay extra attention to him. .”
They were chatting side by side, and when the officials over there saw Cao Huachun, they immediately surrounded him like flies seeing a cake, all tongue-in-cheek, showing the sincerity behind each other.
Cao Huachun's face was reserved, neither cold nor hot, like a high-ranking venerable man.
I only answered them occasionally, but instead of feeling neglected, these officials became more enthusiastic.
In their view, the chief executive next to Supreme is equivalent to traveling on behalf of the emperor. Of course, he is high above the ground, with an arrogant tone and a proud demeanor, so he should naturally have this kind of style.
After talking with the officials for a while, Cao Huachun arranged for a young eunuch to come over and say:
"Now that we have entered Jiazhou, we can lead the way."
Seeing that the little eunuch looked like a human and a dog, Shi Wuzun replied nonchalantly:
"Follow the road and turn right along the hill."
When Cao Huachun was chatting, he inadvertently glanced from a distance, and saw Chen Zhao sitting in the car, who was bigger than him, the chief executive, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
'Hmph, I'll let you be proud for a while, after you enter Lingyun Grotto, let's see how our family will deal with you. '
He was angry in his heart, his face was pale, he snorted coldly, and started chatting with the sycophants around him again.
Soon, some officials shouted:
"Leshan Giant Buddha, I know it well!"
"As a personal follower of Xiaguan, his hometown is near the Leshan Giant Buddha. It is most appropriate for us to lead the way."
Among the officials, there are those who still need to go back to work, some who are taking a bath today, and even relatives of the officials who can accompany Chief Cao around the clock. Since Eunuch Cao has requested, of course he can lead the way.
They rode through the city with chariots and horses, and the huge lineup not only alarmed the pedestrians along the road, but all the local government naturally welcomed them.
The Leshan Giant Buddha belongs to Leshan County, Jiazhou. I stayed at the largest inn at night, and even the county magistrate came to toast me.
When had this small county magistrate in a remote area seen so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, as well as the powerful Cao Cao?I just feel that I am very lucky. The county magistrate not only prepared water and wine, but also prepared thick gifts for everyone. I only hope that Manager Cao can say a few kind words in front of the emperor, and I also hope that these officials’ children in the provincial capital can Nor did he wear small shoes.
Cao Huachun sits high at the main table, next to him is Chen Kang and Chen Daguan, the younger brother of the magistrate in central Sichuan, and on the right is the county magistrate of Leshan County. , dare not disobey even a little bit.
Chen Zhao and the others sat obediently in the corner, watching everyone show courteousness to Cao Huachun.
"Hmph! Sure enough, he is the head of the Ouchi, with a high status."
Dugu Meng said sourly.
She is the princess of Wushuang City. She usually travels like a princess when she is at home, but in a remote county thousands of miles away, of course she cannot compare with the dignitaries of the orthodox dynasty.
What's more, he is a celebrity around Supreme.
Shi Wuzun looked indifferent, but it would be a joke to say that he has no grudges in his heart.
He came from a noble family in central Shu, but in the countryside of central Shu, he was not as noble as the imperial family, and he could do nothing.
"Let's have a good meal."
Chen Zhao was indifferent.
Although he also introspected and his thinking was rigid without knowing it, he was an emperor after all, so of course he would not take this small scene seriously.
At this time, Cao Huachun suddenly walked over with a wine glass in his hand.
I saw the dead eunuch's skinny smile, perfectly embodying the ability of a soft knife to kill people, and said with a smile: "Our family is traveling on behalf of the emperor to worship the Leshan Giant Buddha. Thanks to Mr. Chen for traveling all the way, if the worship is successful, Mr. Chen is a great contributor to the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people. Jane is in the emperor’s heart. Let’s borrow flowers to offer a toast to Mr. Buddha.”
After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
Everyone looked at Chen Zhao with a different look.
Seeing that Director Cao was offering glasses on his own initiative, other officials also rushed over and toasted Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao sneered in his heart.
No one likes a dead eunuch, but he can't hold back that he is a popular person next to Zhizun.
He had seen Chen Zhao's arrogance for a long time, as if he was supreme, so he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, how could Chen Zhao not see it?
But would he care?So I just said lightly: "I don't drink."
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. What do you mean?We take the initiative to propose a toast to you, but you are still putting on airs?
At this time, Chen Kang, the younger brother of the magistrate in central Sichuan, frowned slightly, raised his glass with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, I'll toast you, it's okay."
Chen Kangnai is a relative and friend of a senior official.When he thinks about it, his dignified magistrate's family, toasting you a glass of wine to an ordinary person, is considered a big face for you, how dare you not drink it?
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhaoduan could not sit still, and said flatly:
"Don't drink!"
The voice fell, and the whole place was silent.
Chen Kang's face froze, his smile suddenly froze, and the corners of his eyes became sharp.
Seeing that Chen Zhao didn't even give Chen Daguan the face, many people couldn't help but shake their heads secretly when they looked at him.
Where did this little guy come from to be so arrogant?He didn't even give Mr. Cao and Chen Daguan any face. It was really unbelievable.
Although I don't know why Manager Cao values this person, but what he said is beyond words, he just needs to contribute when worshiping the Leshan Giant Buddha. After the worship, what else can you use?
Seeing the anger in Chen Daguan's eyes, it seemed that he was about to get angry on the spot.The Leshan County Magistrate hurried over to smooth things over.
"Oh, I'm here to give you a drink, I'm the official. I'm the official, please do it first as a courtesy."
The county magistrate is Bailihou, a majestic seventh-rank official, who has been so respectful to Mr. Chen, so naturally Mr. Chen would not refute his face, and drank it bitterly.
Then he snorted coldly, slapped the wine glass on the table casually, and walked away.
Everyone looked at Chen Zhao with pity, knowing that he was hated by Chen Daguan.
Cao Huachun saw it from a distance, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He is not a fool. He cannot hide from the twists and turns of the subordinates in the government. He has also heard a lot about the actions of the officials' relatives. It can be said that in the market, these powerful people are intertwined with the government and have great power. Even he, a big internal manager, The celebrities around the Supreme are not willing to offend easily. This Chen Zhao is so arrogant. I really don’t know where he can get the confidence?
"Xiongba's son can only obediently be a head arrester of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. You are an ignorant young man, don't you know how powerful the sky is and the earth is so thick." He shook his head and decided not to pay any attention to it.
No matter how miserable the fate of an ignorant young man is, of course it will not be in Mr. Cao's heart. The gap between the two is like an ant and an eagle in the sky. I am afraid that if he hears this person's name in the future, he will be a dead bone.
