Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Cheng Chumo asked like a stubborn man.

Chen Chu asked: "Chu Bi, at the beginning, I asked you to incite those merchants and gentry to besiege the Zheng family. What happened these few days?"

Cheng Chubi said honestly: "Uncle, according to your order, the past few days have stopped..."

"Tomorrow morning, let's do something big, the bigger the noise, the better." Chen Chu ordered.

Cheng Chubi nodded: "Yes, uncle, I'll make arrangements now..."

When Cheng Chubi left, Chen Chu asked people to prepare chariots and horses.

……

Zheng Guogong's mansion.

If one were to name the most luxurious of the tall courtyards in Chang'an City, it would be the Sikong Mansion.If it is simple, it must be Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Because Zheng Guogong's mansion is the mansion of Wei Zheng, the number one hater in the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Zheng was born as a royal censor, what he dislikes the most is extravagance and waste, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

For an ordinary official, if he dared to be extravagant and invincible, he would immediately make the censors flock to him and impeach him dozens of times.

Even the emperor Li Er, as long as there is extravagance, he will spare no effort to admonish him to the end.

Wei Zheng is very harsh on himself and his family.

Therefore, Wei Zheng actually doesn't have many friends.

There are many luxurious carriages parked at the gates of other mansions, but the gate of Zheng Guogong's mansion is empty.

A carriage stopped.

Chen Chu jumped down from the carriage, stepped forward, and said to the old man watching the door: "I am Chen Chu, Xibo Ping. If I have something to call on Mr. Wei, please let me know."

The old man was dozing off.

As a gatekeeper, his life is the most leisurely, because usually no one comes to the door.

Hearing Chen Chu's voice suddenly, the old man was startled, he made a quick bow, and then went in to report.

……

Chapter 369 The Conspiracy of Wei Zheng and Chen Chu

Zheng Guogong's mansion.

in the library.

Wei Zheng holds a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and is studying it carefully.The so-called classics mean that they can be read a hundred times without getting tired. Wei Zheng felt that even if he read the quotations of the sages a thousand times, he would not feel sleepy.

The old man Menzi came in and said, "Master, Ping Xibo and Chen Chu are asking to see you."

Chen Chu?

Wei Zheng's face moved away from the opposite side of the book, and he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, the old man Menzi thought that his master didn't want to see him, so he said: "Master, it seems that Ping Xibo is also here to ask the master to do something, so I will send him away."

Wei Zheng, as a servant and imperial censor, the people who came to the door naturally asked for something.

Wei Zheng hastily put down the Analects of Confucius, and said: "No, let him come in... Ping Xibo, unlike others, is young, but owns countless fortunes, and has won the emperor's heart. What can he ask the old man for?" ..."

"Yes!"

After the door went out, Chen Chu was brought to Wei Zheng's study within a short time.

Others meet guests in the main hall.

Fortunately, Wei Zheng was directly in his study.

"Boy Chen, I heard that you are in Chang'an City, and you never visit anyone. Today, why do you want to come to Zheng Guogong's mansion?" Wei Zheng said jokingly.

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Master Wei said, the boy is ashamed, the so-called, being able to be content with one's affairs, being generous in one's mind, being selfless, being self-sufficient, Master Wei has really put these two words to the extreme... Others While drinking and having fun all day long, Mr. Wei can read a book of Analects in his mansion, such a state of mind is admirable."

Since he came to see Wei Zheng for work, of course Chen Chu was willing to praise him.

Furthermore, Wei Zheng was a well-known virtuous minister of Zhenguan in later generations, and Chen Chu couldn't exaggerate it.

"Satisfaction with things, wide-mindedness, self-exaltation without pursuit?" Wei Zheng repeatedly chewed on the two sentences Chen Chu said, and laughed, "Your boy, you are indeed a great talent, and your words are so interesting...Come on, Serve tea, serve good tea, I heard that this kid is not used to tea soup, so he brews fried tea sold by Xidatang Company..."

"Thank you, Master Wei!"

Chen Chu said gratefully.

People like Old Wei drank the tea with ginger, garlic and goat's milk as sweet as sugar, but Chen Chu couldn't get used to it.

Soon, the tea for fried tea was served.

Chen Chu took a sip of tea, and then said: "Master Wei has a lot of things going on every day, so I won't hide them. I came to the door today, but I have a good thing to give to Mr. Wei."

"Oh?"

Wei Zheng was taken aback, his face full of curiosity.

Chen Chu explained: "Lord Wei should know that the West Datang Company was founded when I summoned the Sikong Mansion, Lu Guogong Mansion, and the imperial father's internal funds..."

"Yes, I heard a little bit."

"Now, I plan to sell part of the shares to Mr. Wei. I wonder if you are interested?" Chen Chu asked with a smile.

Ok?

Wei Zheng frowned: "Really?"

"It's true..."

The reason why Chen Chu dared to visit was because Wei Zheng had mentioned to him more than once that he wanted to become a shareholder of Xidatang Company.

Although Wei Zheng is a Qingliu censor, he himself does not reject merchants.

Zheng Guogong's mansion also has a lot of industries.

However, Wei Zheng's family is not good at managing money, and they will lose money in any business.

Hearing that the West Datang Company can make money as long as it is a shareholder, Wei Zheng has long wanted to join it, but he has never had the opportunity before.

Now, when Chen Chu said that he could become a shareholder, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

but……

wrong.

Such a good thing, if it were someone else, I would definitely join in.

Why did Chen Chu think of me first?

Wei Zheng felt that something was wrong, and then asked: "Boy, you came to the door in person, not just for this matter, right? If it's just for this matter, you can send a message, why come in person?"

Wei Zheng really thought carefully.

Hearing this, Chen Chu stopped pretending and said, "To be honest, Mr. Wei, Zheng Feiyuan of the Zheng family has made me unhappy in the past two days. Originally, the West Datang Company was going to buy all of Zheng's cloth business. Unexpectedly, Patriarch Shao Zheng is only willing to sell half of it now... Therefore, I want Master Wei to help me, give Zheng a wake-up call, and let Zheng know how powerful it is..."

Wei Zheng originally refused this kind of thing.

He has always disliked favoritism.

but……

If Zheng Guogong's government can join the West Datang Company.

If Xi Datang Company wins Zheng's cloth industry, it will definitely go further in the future.

So... Helping Chen Chu is helping himself.

Wei Zheng figured this out, and immediately said: "Okay, I will leave this matter to the old man... However, you said that I can join the Western Datang Company, how should I do this matter? I need Zheng Guogong's mansion to come up with a How much is it?"

Chen Chu comforted: "Your Majesty Wei, don't worry. I have to discuss this matter with all the big shareholders, but don't worry, there will definitely be a copy of Zheng Guogong's house... The most urgent thing is to beat Zheng to the ground first. Otherwise, everything is nonsense. Of course, I can guarantee that it will not exceed half a month at the latest."

Wei Zheng heard the meaning behind Chen Chu's words, that is, if Zheng Guogong's government wants to take a stake in the West Datang Company, it must first get things done.

He didn't take it seriously, and beat Zheng's. This matter was really too simple.

"Leave this matter to the old man..."

"In that case, thank you, Mr. Wei."

The two chatted for a while before Chen Chu left.

As soon as Chen Chu left, Wei Zheng called the steward and said, "Send someone quickly to invite Yang Yushi."

"Yes, sir."

……

Cheng.

The past few days have been calm.

Both Zheng Chengdong and his son thought that their plan was going to succeed, and they were overjoyed.

Just this morning.

Zheng Chengdong just got up, and was rinsing his mouth under the service of a maid.

boom.

The door was knocked open.

Zheng Feiyuan rushed in in a hurry, his face was very ugly.

Zheng Chengdong reprimanded unhappily: "Fei Yuan, you are not too young. In a few years, you will be in charge of the entire Zheng family. How can you be so reckless..."

Zheng Feiyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Father, something is wrong. I just received the news from my eighth brother. He said that the imperial court had already planned to let go of most of the officials who were involved with the Zheng family. Now, Yu Shitai didn't intend to let it go, but started to collect evidence, intending to kill those people from our Zheng family in one fell swoop..."

"puff!"

"what?"

Zheng Chengdong was shocked: "Why is this happening? Haven't the imperial edicts been issued already? Why are they repeated?"

Zheng Feiyuan slapped himself, and then said: "Father, I'm all to blame for this matter. The eighth brother said that he asked someone to find out that this time, it was Wei Zheng who asked Yushitai to take action, and Wei Zheng, it is said It was to help Chen Chu... At the beginning, I thought that taking revenge on the Zheng family would be impossible without the eldest princess, but who knew that Chen Chu did it himself without even telling the eldest princess..."

"Chen Chu, this kid actually has such great energy?" Zheng Chengdong was a little dumbfounded.

……

Chapter 370

Who doesn't know that Master Wei Zhengwei of the Tang Dynasty was born as a censor, and then served as a doctor of censors. He was so strong that he didn't even give Li Erlang face.

Even the Zheng family wanted to make friends with Wei Zheng many times, but unfortunately they all failed.

But Chen Chu, a Ping Xibo, could actually persuade Wei Zheng to deal with the Zheng family?

Both Zheng Chengdong and Zheng Feiyuan felt incredible.

Zheng Chengdong asked unbelievingly: "Fei Yuan, is the news reliable?"

Zheng Feiyuan said: "Father, it's absolutely true..."

Zheng Chengdong said helplessly: "This is really unexpected... Now it seems that Ping Xibo and Chen Chu are planning to warn us Zheng... Fei Yuan, we can no longer play tricks with him, that's all, cloth It doesn't matter if you don't want to do business, as long as you can keep the talents of my Zheng family, you don't have to worry about not being able to make a comeback... You go to the Nanshan mansion in person, ask Ping Xibo to make amends, and settle the matter of the cloth."

Zheng Feiyuan was surprised and said: "Father, but...to find Chen Chu today, our cotton cloth industry can only sell for [-]% of the price."

Zheng Chengdong waved his hand again: "Fei Yuan, nowadays, people are fighting for knives and we are fish for fish. We are no longer qualified to negotiate terms with Xibo... [-]% is [-]%. Right now, my Zheng family is full of holes, and I urgently need a lot of money to pay for it." To solve the trouble, let's get through this level first."

"That's all it takes..."

……

"Oh, Patriarch Zheng, I haven't seen you for two days. Your complexion has become more and more vicissitudes." Du He said, looking at Zheng Feiyuan opposite him with a smile.

Zheng Feiyuan was indeed much older than the previous two days.

He complained in his heart, it's not all because of you.

However, he doesn't dare to put on airs now.

I saw him waving.

A boy came forward with a box.

Zheng Feiyuan took it, put it on the table in front of Chen Chu, and said with an apologetic smile: "Ping Xibo is really sharp-eyed, he has been overworked these days, and his complexion is indeed not very good... Ping Xibo, this is a piece that my Zheng family has treasured for many years. The hundred-year-old mountain ginseng has infinite effects, and it is specially given to you, for your own use, or as a gift, it is an excellent thing, please accept it."
