Chapter 641 Business
"I am ashamed to accept such a great gift from Master Cui." Su Ziji said politely.

Cui Zhaoquan smiled wryly: "Cui does not know the status of acting Duke, so he offends him so much. Why don't you dare to accept this gift?"

"It's all in the past. Besides, Mr. Cui explained it to me before. When we returned from the southwest, we talked very happily. Today, Mr. Cui suddenly apologized again. Isn't this superfluous? Besides, you Just now I also said that you didn't know my identity before, and those who don't know are innocent."

"This is not a place to talk, why not Master Cui follow me there." Su Ziji said, and motioned Cui Zhaoquan to go to the roadside corridor with him to talk.

Cui Zhaoquan also felt that it was indecent for them to stand here and block the way, so they agreed.

When we got to the roadside corridor, Su Ziji didn't talk nonsense, and directly said to Cui Zhaoquan: "Master Cui, I'm actually going to ask you for favors."

Cui Zhaoquan was surprised when he heard this.

According to the Daxu system, Wang Chaopin is the first rank, Hou is the second rank, Dai Guogong is not what it used to be, and his status has directly risen to the point where Cui Zhaoquan can only look up to him. Under such circumstances, Dai Guogong today What else do you need to ask yourself?
Could it be that you want to win over yourself?
But although Cui Zhaoquan was a little surprised by Dai Guogong's actions, he had learned from the lessons of King Qi and Duan Yanxing, and he didn't believe that such a smart person as Dai Guogong would do such a stupid thing.

The thought flashed by, Cui Zhaoquan said to Su Ziji: "Mr. Dai, if there is anything I need to tell you, just say it. If you can help, I dare not refuse."

What I said is very measured. If you understand it in reverse, that is, if you can’t help, then I will definitely decline.

How could Su Ziji not know these thoughts?

Anyway, he didn't intend to do anything outrageous under the emperor's nose, he just smiled: "The emperor has ordered me to watch the government, but I have only been the county magistrate for a few months, and I don't even know much about government affairs. Four words are not enough, if I study with you elders, just like you just now, I will not learn anything, and I will be unfamiliar."

"Besides, I watch politics, and etiquette alone is actually a troublesome matter. I know that you are busy with business, so why don't you just give me a proposal every day?"

Cui Zhaoquan was still a cabinet minister even though his rank had not increased since his last mission. Hearing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be for this matter, he looked at the young man in front of him, and thought to himself: "There is nothing wrong with this, originally the emperor ordered Dai Guogong to watch the government and ask the cabinet for advice, so the cabinet can't ignore Dai Guogong , teaching must be taught.”

"But how to teach, everyone actually doesn't have a charter, it's not good to be fooled at all, but if you teach seriously, who knows if the emperor will think that he has turned to Dai Guogong? If he is considered to be a party of Dai Guogong, that is Big problem."

"Also offended the kings of Qi and Shu."

"It's very appropriate and easy to point out one ticket a day, and everyone will be perfunctory at that time."

Because the two had just opened up their conversation, Cui Zhaoquan was both joking and probing, and asked with a smile: "What will the Duke of the Dai repay?"

Unexpectedly, Su Ziji was already prepared, and directly took out a scroll: "Master Cui, what do you think?"

Let's expand.

In the morning light, this painting clearly caught Cui Zhaoquan's eyes, the small bridge and flowing water, misty rain, such a painting, it seems that all the charm of a water town has been incorporated into the painting, with aura.

A poem was also mentioned, and Cui Zhaoquan couldn't help but recite it aloud:
"Shuixiu Mountain has green eyebrows far away, and when I return, I lean against the small pavilion window."

"The spring breeze doesn't understand the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, laughing at the rain alley and looking for guests to taste."

"Good poem!" This poem and this painting really match, fully revealing the beauty of Rain Lane.

Although the painting alone is good, it is not so good as to be called a masterpiece, but it is also accompanied by poems, calligraphy is also so good, the combination of the three is perfect.

Next to the paintings and poems, there is a seal, which is Dai Guogong's private seal - Changchun Sanren!
Su Ziji smiled: "How about one month?"

Dai Guogong's poems have long been popular in the capital. Not only the circle of noble women likes them, but also scholars admire them and like to collect authentic works.

And this Dai Guogong's paintings are not inferior to poems, the paintings match the poems, and there is also Dai Guogong's seal, such a work, one piece per month, after a few months, Mr. Ge can at least make one This is certainly a good "remuneration" for the elder Ge who is happy to see Lie.

Moreover, once such an elegant business is done, everyone can also separate the relationship after the teaching.

Although Cui Zhaoquan is a minister of the Ministry of War, he was born in the orthodox imperial examination, and his talent is not in vain. Can't do it.

Reluctantly reposting the painting on the scroll, seeing Dai Guogong smiling and waiting for his answer, Cui Zhaoquan said: "It's certainly possible, with Dai Guogong's poems, calligraphy and paintings, Cui thinks, few people can refuse such an offer." proposal."

Not only is it possible, but it is too good. Presumably those old guys will be happy to accept a painting and give advice to Dai Guogong.

After all, even if the paintings are not brought out, this matter will fall on them, and they will also help. Now they can give people favors and get benefits. It is better to be so elegant that there will be no follow-up troubles. It's no big deal when we go out, so everyone is naturally happy to accept it.

Su Ziji was not surprised that Cui Zhaoquan agreed, and smiled: "Then I will go to see the place first, and I will come back in half an hour to meet you adults."

With that said, he left first.

Not far away, there was an eunuch standing waiting for someone. It seemed that he was looking for Duke Dai.

Cui Zhaoquan stood where he was, watching Su Ziji go away, shook his head with a smile, looked at the scroll in his hand, and walked towards the cabinet.

According to the rules of the Great Zheng Dynasty, the cabinet is not full every day. After all, those who can join the cabinet are usually first-, second- and third-rank officials. Who is not the chief official in each yamen?

Unless there is a need to gather to discuss things on special days, there are usually two or three people staying behind and taking turns in turn.

Today is a rare day to get together. They work here in the morning and go back to their respective yamen to take care of affairs in the afternoon. When Cui Zhaoquan brought Su Ziji's painting to the cabinet, several cabinet elders were already busy.

Cui Zhaoquan didn't use them to help open the curtain, but he opened the thick curtain to block the cold wind. Suddenly, a gust of hot air rushed towards him, and there was a faint fragrance of tea in it.

In the small room, several elders were sitting at their desks, reviewing the memorials. Cui Zhaoquan came in without attracting attention. Who, this really reduces work efficiency, and there is already a small pile of memorials that have been accumulated over the past year. They don't want to waste time here, and even go back to work overtime, all of them are immersed in work.
