Chapter 238 Black Material
Sheng Xuanhuai's face turned pale, and his eyes stared at the grand year, shouting, "Planting and framing! Planting and framing! How dare you search for my black materials in the grand year! Do you still fucking recognize me as your cousin!"
Sheng Xuanhuai realized that when he entered the door, Zhou Charter was talking to Shannian. Obviously, this booklet was compiled by Shannian and given to Zhou Charter.
Shannian is Sheng Xuanhuai's nephew. Speaking of it, it is also an inheritance of Sheng Xuanhuai's genetic genes. His brain is as easy to use as his cousin. However, Shannian is not as a good platform as Sheng Xuanhuai, and it is almost an opportunity. Therefore, he can only make small fights and can't become a big weapon.
At the beginning of the year, Shannian got the title of a registered magistrate, went to the shogunate in Zhang Zhidong as a staff, and also followed Sheng Xuanhuai to start some business. Shannian was shrewd and capable, and Sheng Xuanhuai's nephew, soon gained the trust of Zhang Zhidong and came into contact with some secrets. In fact, a large part of Sheng Xuanhuai's business was done by Zhang Zhidong. Zhang Zhidong does not ask for money, but he is very smooth and knows the truth that there is no fish in the water. For people like Sheng Xuanhuai, it is enough to close their eyes. Therefore, Zhang Zhidong mastered many illegal things of Sheng Xuanhuai, but he did not pursue them.
Shannian followed Zhang Zhidong and had a clear understanding of his cousin's invisible deeds. However, as a nephew, he only regarded it as not to see it and never told anyone.
Zhou Charter wants to keep Sheng Xuanhuai in Taiwan, please make a plan in the grand year. Zhou Charter has also heard that Sheng Xuanhuai's hands and feet are not clean. He asked Shannian about Shannian and Sheng Xuanhuai. Although they are uncle and nephew, Sheng Xuanhuai has always been arrogant and look down on his nephew. The relationship between the two is also very ordinary, while Shannian and Zhou Charter is a life-and-death brother. Of course, Shannian knows his eldest brother. He didn't say anything and told him what he knew.
Zhou Charter got Sheng Xuanhuai's little braids and was secretly happy. These days, he took Sheng Xuanhuai to investigate everywhere, so that Sheng Xuanhuai could first understand the actual situation of Taiwan. Sheng Xuanhuai was about to return to Beijing, and Zhou Charter and Shannian came to have a showdown with Sheng Xuanhuai.
Zhou Charter said, "Shengren is the pillar of my Qing Dynasty. In the past, I have always believed that Shanren is a dignified and clean official who refuses to corrupt!"
"Zhou Governor Mingjian!" Sheng Xuanhuai said, "This dog in Shannian is really useless. At the beginning, he sold arms, ah, and even went to North Korea to go shopping in kilns, and even his trousers were lost! Governor Zhou, you can't believe his nonsense!"
Zhou Charter nodded: "Shengnian is my Zhangjun brother who crawled out of the dead with me. Originally, I believed in him, but Lord Sheng Xuanhuai is the person I admire, and I have to believe your words. One is my good brother, and the other is a Qing official I admire. But you two hold your own opinions, and it is difficult to make a decision at the next moment. I think so. Anyway, Shanda people are about to return to Beijing. I want Shannian to take this pamphlet and go back to Beijing with Lord Sheng Xuanhuai to meet the emperor. Well, everyone knows that today's emperor is a wise king who has never been encountered for thousands of years. All difficult problems are naturally solved in front of the emperor. How can we be followed by laymen like us? Compared with the emperor. Shandaren, the emperor will definitely give Shanda people a satisfactory answer. In addition, Shanda people can resign from the post of postal minister and come to Taiwan to serve, which is killing two birds with one stone. I don't know what's wrong with Shanda?"
Sheng Xuanhuai almost lost his breath. If this pamphlet is in the hands of the emperor, Sheng Xuanhuai's head will fall to the ground!
"Zhou, Zhou, Governor Zhou, I don't think this matter needs to be so complicated." Sheng Xuan said anxiously.
"Does Shanda have a relatively simple solution?" Zhou Charter asked.
Sheng Xuanhuai gritted his teeth and said, "Governor Zhou, the subordinate thinks that the emperor is very busy every day. There is no need to bother the emperor about these ordinary things. Well, I don't think I need to go to Beijing for the grand year. I don't have to go back to Beijing to see the emperor for the time being.
"What does Shanren mean?"
"A few days ago, the subordinate followed Governor Zhou and traveled around Taiwan, but seeing that Taiwan is rich in minerals and the sea is smooth, it is really a treasure of modern industry and commerce. Governor Zhou looks far away and has a very pioneering spirit, which can't help but arouse the ambition of the subordinate to do a career in Taiwan! Xiaguan has long made up his mind to stay in Taiwan and contribute his youth and sweat to Taiwan's economic construction with Governor Zhou! If he is not abandoned, the subordinate is willing to follow Governor Zhou and do his best for Taiwan, and then die!" Seeing that there was no way out, Sheng Xuanhuai had to make bold words.
Zhou Charter was secretly happy, and his face was very serious: "Sheng people have such ambition, okay! Very good! However, Shanda people are now in the position of postal minister. The emperor and the empress dowager still expect Shanda people to open postal services for the Qing Dynasty. If Shanda people don't go back, the court will blame it, and it will not be easy to explain.
How dare Sheng Xuanhuai go back to Beijing? What is recorded in the pamphlet is only a small part of his embezzlement and bribery. If Zhou Charter digs out some more materials and enriches this pamphlet, Sheng Xuanhuai will run to Beijing, that is, send his head to the knife! Sheng Xuanhuai knew that Zhou Charter could definitely do this kind of thing. This guy is a complete warlord. The Empress Dowager and the emperor had to look at him. He just insisted that Sheng Xuanhuai was greedy, and the emperor had to take down Sheng Xuanhuai. What's more, Zhou Charter still had this pamphlet in his hand!
At this time, the safest place is Taiwan!
"Governor Zhou!" Sheng Xuanhuai said solemnly, "Although the postal service is also a major event in the Qing Dynasty, it is not worth mentioning compared with Taiwan's economic construction. Well, Taiwan is the sea barrier of our Qing Dynasty. Only by building Taiwan into a copper wall and iron wall can we resist the threat of Western powers to our Qing Dynasty! The emperor is talented and smart, and he must have seen this a long time ago. Therefore, I don't have to go back to Beijing. As long as I write a memorial and let Lord Zhang Menghuan take it back, the emperor must be grateful, and Governor Zhou doesn't have to worry!"
"Grand people really don't plan to go back?" Zhou Charter asked.
"No back! Never go back!" Sheng Xuanhuai shouted, "If I want to go back, I'm a turtle bastard!" Sheng Xuanhuai recognized the situation and now he is crying and shouting to stay in Taiwan. If he doesn't let him stay in Taiwan, he will be anxious!
"Good!" Zhou Charter said, "The future of Taiwan is infinitely beautiful. However, in Taiwan now, the land is barren, the people are poor, the supply is scarce, and the living conditions are very bad. I'm afraid that Shanren will stay..."
Sheng Xuanhuai shouted, "Lord Zhou, that's why I want to contribute my intelligence and youth to my fellow villagers in Taiwan! The more poor and backward the place is, the more it can reflect the value of my life! Governor Zhou, please leave me! I, I beg you!"
Zhou Charter laughed: "Okay! Shanda people are so resolute that they are deeply moved! I immediately submitted to the court, asking the empress dowager and the emperor to continue to retain the post of postal minister..."
"Governor Zhou, I really want to stay in Taiwan and contribute my youth!" Sheng Xuanhuai's tears are about to come out.
"The grand man misunderstood." Zhou Charter said, "I mean, Shanda people continue to serve as the postmaster of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, I submitted a report to the court, requesting the court to appoint Shanda as the 'Minister of Development of Taiwan and North Korea' to be in charge of the planning and implementation of the construction of Taiwan and North Korea. The Minister of Development of Taiwan and the Ministry of Post Affairs are co-located with the government. It will be very hard for Shanren to hold the post of Minister of Post and Minister of Development of Taiwan and Dynasties.
"Thank you, Governor Zhou, for your cultivation!" Sheng Xuanhuai was overjoyed. Zhou Charter not only allowed him to stay in Taiwan, but also asked the court to continue to serve as the postmaster general. Sheng Xuanhuai knew that with the current power of Zhou Charter, as long as the people and things he guaranteed were not a matter of principle, the court would inevitably follow the boat. Although Sheng Xuanhuai stayed in Taiwan, his power not only did not fall, but rose! Zhou Charter's means are a little dark, but it is still very humane. Sheng Xuanhuai is very grateful to Zhou Charter.
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "You don't have to be polite. We will be colleagues in the future. This pamphlet, ah, I think, is all hearsay in the grand year, which is groundless!" Zhou Charter said and threw the pamphlet into the brazier: "Grand man, I don't believe in the past, and I don't listen to it!" Of course, in the future, we will be colleagues, or we should be diligent and love the people, be honest and honest, and we should supervise each other. What do you think?
"Of course, of course!" Sheng Xuanhuai knew that Zhou Charter told him how much he had been greedy in the past, and Zhou Charter did not ask. In the future, if Zhou Charter commits something under his eyes, then Zhou Charter will not close his eyes like Zhang Zhidong!
Zhou Charter continued: "Grand people, Taiwan's many industries are waiting to flourish, and the affairs of the development minister of Taiwan will inevitably be very busy, and Shanda people may not be busy alone. Shannian is your nephew, and he is also very delicate. I think he will be your deputy and the assistant minister of development of the Taiwan Dynasty. Well, just now, your uncles and nephews had some misunderstandings, but they are all working for the country. I hope Shan's forgiveness.
Sheng Xuanhuai said, "The New Year is the rising star of my Sheng family. He has a lot of true biography and followed Governor Zhou's experience. Now he is both literary and martial arts, and he is the pride of my Sheng family! Da Nian is my deputy, which is exactly what the subordinates want!" Sheng Xuanhuai knew that Zhou Charter put Shannian by his side to let him work honestly. Now, Shannian is equivalent to Zhou Charter's imperial envoy, and Sheng Xuanhuai no longer dares to underestimate this nephew.
Zhou Charter picked up the teacup: "Then, let's use tea instead of wine. I wish you a happy cooperation!"
The three raised the teacup and drank it all.
