After Wei Changqing and Mao Pijiang had the experience of being trapped on the same road by the emperor for a day, they finally established a basic revolutionary friendship, and the atmosphere was no longer so tense when they met.
Mu Mu even once heard Mao Pijiang recommend a store run by Wei Changqing to others, saying that the price was fair and the quality was high, and he was definitely a good shop.
Since moving to Nanjing, Mao Bijiang has also been put in a high position. He has been promoted from the supervisory censor to the secretary, to the capital, and finally to the left deputy censor. It can be said that Ren Zanhua finally has a successor.
This position has never been a popular one. If you want to do it well, you will offend a bunch of important officials from the court who will chase you and shout to kill you every day.
If you join forces with them, it will be even worse. It won’t be long before the incident comes to light and everyone is killed. At that time, all the responsibilities will be yours alone. All in all, this is a high-risk position that focuses on orphans. Except for Ren Zanhua
Most people really can't control such a senior person.
As for Mao Bijiang, although he is not a senior minister, he has his own advantages. He is better known because of his high reputation. Everyone knows that he is a fair and impartial person who says whatever he wants. In addition, he is inherently right.
The situation in the imperial court was unfamiliar, so it was difficult for anyone to blatantly win over him.
With Lin Chong's support and good relations with several generals before, Mao Pijiang's work went very smoothly, especially since he really liked this kind of work where he had to speak out directly when he saw any injustice, so it was considered
It's like a fish in water.
After the relationship between Mao Pijiang and Wei Changqing eased, Lin Chong would often bring them together to discuss his official banknotes. One of them was a businessman and the other a scholar, which happened to represent the two most closely related forces. Let them quarrel with Lin Chong.
You often get new ideas.
What's more, Mao Bijiang and Wei Changqing were able to sit down and drink together despite their bickering. One of these two people was rich and the other was more sophisticated, so Lin Chong was happy to drink with them.
Mao Bijiang agreed with Lin Chong. If they wanted to keep the official bank bonds in their own hands after they were issued, they must have strength that others could not shake in the business field. Even if he was reluctant, he would
He still promoted Wei Changqing in a subtle way.
Mao Bijiang is notoriously difficult to talk to. Although he usually seems to be very talkative and has a good relationship with everyone, it is rare to hear him praise anything.
This suddenly aroused a lot of people's interest in the store he was talking about, and it spread the word and attracted a lot of people. Lin Chong was stunned by the effect of this advertisement, and often teased Wei Changqing that he should be fake
A publicity fee for Xinjiang.
Wei Changqing is not a stingy person, and one day he actually brought "publicity expenses" to Mao Bijiang, but he was very good at choosing, and the gift was not real money, but a few copybooks that are now rare to see.
The only copy.
Lin Chong's eyes widened when he saw Mao Bijiang, and he was still talking about things like no reward for no merit, and it was really hard to hold back his laughter. Seeing that Mao Bijiang didn't want to give up, he sighed with great regret: "Although you
It’s also a good intention, but since you don’t like it, you can’t force it on others. I just think this thing has some use, so why not let me take it away.”
Wei Changqing was curious: "What do you want this for?" He had never seen his Majesty copying any famous masterpiece, but he often called his cursive calligraphy that others could not recognize as a masterpiece. When did he learn about it?
Are you interested in these things?
Lin Chong thought for a while: "There is a small table in my bedroom that I like very much. It may have been worn out for a long time. I just use these books to cushion it. Isn't it a good use?"
Wei Changqing was just about to say how he could place such a precious and unique copy on the corner of the table when he saw Lin Chong blinking in the direction of Mao Bijiang and motioning for him to look that way.
He glanced at it suspiciously, and saw that Mao Bijiang was anxiously trying to say something but holding it back. It would be as funny as that. So the refusal he was about to say changed his meaning: "In this case, Guben
Of course, they must be given to those in need, so please take these copies, Your Majesty."
Before Lin Chong had time to speak, Mao Bijiang was really anxious now: "How can this be done? It's too much!" After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Chong and Wei Changqing staring at him, and suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.
But Your Majesty, there is nothing he wants. If he is willing, no one can say anything about using the original copy to build a new table, let alone pad the corners of the table.
"No, Wei Chen didn't mean that. It's just..." He didn't know how to explain it.
"A gentleman does not take what others like. This orphan copy was originally given to Master Mao. If Aiqing likes it, it is of course nothing. I think if Aiqing doesn't like it, I can't ask Wei Changqing to take it back, so I can let him use it.
A bit of residual heat."
Mao Bijiang sighed and bowed in the direction of Wei Changqing: "Since that's the case, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Thank you Boss Wei for your kindness." He carefully put the things away and stared at Lin Chong warily.
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows. It's not that he wanted something too much, but he had to be tough. He had no interest in grabbing that kind of thing from Mao Bijiang. To him, it was a unique copy, and to Lin Chong, it was no different than a pile of waste paper.
It's too hard to use as toilet paper.
Wei Changqing was also happy to see Mao Bijiang collect the things, and quietly gave Lin Chong a thumbs up. In one sentence, he showed his true colors, and he was truly worthy of being your majesty.
Lin Chong winked, "This isn't over yet. We can't just let him take the things away. That would be too shameful for me."
Before Wei Changqing could figure out what he wanted to do, he saw Lin Chong looking at Mao Bijiang with a sad expression on his face: "Since Aiqing likes me, I will do a good deed. But for the money of this meal..." He didn't have anything else.
He looked at Mao Bijiang deeply.
Naturally, Mao Bijiang quickly took over: "I'll treat you. Just order what you like, and I'll pay for all the meals."
Wei Changqing was surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Chong actually planned to blackmail Mao Pijiang. How much money can a censor with a cool sleeves give him? He just wanted to make two random ideas. But Lin Chong had already waved to someone: "Brother, come here.
.”
The waiter came over quickly and asked, "What do you guys want to order today?"
Mao Bijiang and Wei Changqing saw Lin Chong wave his hand: "Try all the special dishes you recommended to us before, and bring some good wine too."
Wei Changqing tugged on Lin Chong's sleeve: "There is so much, how can the three of us eat it? They have already eaten in the morning, and they just wanted to have tea and chat."
