Hai Rui changed his mind and made Zhao Hao happy, and the breakfast was particularly sweet.

Zhao Liben's dentures were stuck by triangular barley. He was guarding the table of delicious food cooked by Qiaoqiao and couldn't move his chopsticks. He could only drink some porridge and barely fill his stomach.

The old man reminded his grandson unhappily: "Don't be happy to look for it too much. Is the one named Hai Leng Leng Sang going? I'm still shrunk..."

It turned out that not only did he not have enough food, but he also spoke invisible.

"Puchi..." Zhao Shouye sprayed out a mouthful of porridge, and Zhao Hao also held his stomach and giggled.

The maids who served the side were all trained and usually would not laugh unless they could not help it.

"What are you laughing at? You don't have any sympathy at all. You are not as good as a child!" Zhao Liben was so angry that his beard was raised. He pointed to his little granddaughter who was burying his head and said, "Kang Kang, Xiao Yun'er is shameless!"

Xiao Yun'er was rarely praised by her grandfather and grinned. It turned out that she was changing teeth and had no front teeth.

"Uh..." The old man rolled his eyes, patted the table and shouted at the butler: "Why haven't the tooth repair master come yet? Lao Zhi is still angry even if he is not hungry!"

After saying that, he angrily returned to the house and ignored anyone.

~~

An hour later, the tooth-making master re-invented Zhao Liben's dentures. The old man reopened his mouth and asked Zhao Hao with a dark face:

"The list of pre-tips has been decided. How are you going to add Heri to it?"

"As long as someone withdraws, that's all." Zhao Hao brought a bowl of sweet tomatoes made by Qiaoqiao to his grandfather, and said with a nice smile: "The tooth repairer instructs you not to eat hard food within three days."

"Hmph, this is almost the same." Zhao Liben glanced at him, then calmed down a little. He held the thin porcelain bowl and ate the tofu, and said, "Who are you going to let go?"

"I can try to persuade three of the four elders of Xu Ge." Zhao Hao thought to himself: "I made an appointment with Uncle Wu to meet at the Longjiang Shipyard in the afternoon. I will persuade him to take a look at it when the time comes."

"You can persuade three of you to withdraw, so just work harder and make them all shrunk." Zhao Liben suggested coldly.

"Ah, that's how?" Zhao Hao opened his mouth wide. "I'm afraid my grandson can't do it."

"What's this? Just follow the trend. Everyone knows that the next Governor Yingtian is not easy to do, and if he doesn't do it properly, he will be ruined. They will only thank you."

Zhao Liben finally regained some of his grandfather's dignity and proudly broke it up for his grandson.

He told Zhao Hao that you are a fan of the authorities, so you feel that everyone will be salivating as the position of Governor Tian. But in fact, it is not necessarily rare for the four people on the list.

When Wu Shi came to Caojiang, Zou Yinglong was in charge of salt, and he was clean and oily, and he was full of fat and shortage. He was not replaced by a governor. Who would even care about a governor?

Even if Jiang Bao, a fourth-rank Nanjing Imperial College Priest, can be promoted to the third-rank governor, it can be said that he has been promoted to three levels in a row. It is said that he should be unsuccessful, right?

But he was following the Hanlin Qingliu route, and the Minister of Rites was his goal. Turning to a local official would not help him much in his career. He would only reveal his shortcomings, so he would not be too interested.

Only Cao Sanyang, who was the governor of the mountains at the junction of the four provinces, would he really miss this governor Yingtian. But at the end of last year, he was driven out of the capital by the emperor from the position of Shuntian Prefecture by the emperor because of his affairs for the Nine Lords, and he would have fallen to that ghost place.

If he scared him a little, he would probably not dare to wade into the muddy water again.

Zhao Hao suddenly realized what the old man said, as if this was true.

"But grandpa, if we really press down on all four people on Mr. Xu's list, would it be too high-profile?" Mr. Zhao always kept forgetting the nine-character policy of Taizu of the dynasty, and never wanted to attract too much attention.

"Why are you more timid than me, an old man?" Zhao Liben said disapprovingly: "I just said that we are just following the trend. It's not like this. If you want to change the position of a third-rank official, you will have to come back at a huge price."

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded, he agreed with this.

Just as the Xu family's use of both soft and hard skills cannot change Lin Run's position, the independent officials have their own creeds, their own mountain, and their own pursuits - some pursue historical evaluation, some pursue continued promotion, and some pursue careers.

As for money, it is less important.

It's simply immune to money power.

"Even if you tell others that you have made all the four officials shrank, someone must believe it." Zhao Liben teased and said, "Will they still not tell others? Everyone will take it for granted and regard it as the general trend."

After a pause, the old man lowered his voice and said, "This is what we want."

"Oh." Zhao Hao understood and said softly: "It is to create a scene where the Xu family is over?"

"Smart is worthy of being my old Zhao." Zhao Liben nodded with relief, and finally forgot his hatred. "One of the officials, gentry, and people in the Ming Dynasty, all like to pervert and guess the direction of the court."

"It's no wonder, who made the court unexplained many things?" Mr. Zhao's face turned hot. As a big chess party in his previous life, he felt unintentionally hurt.

"Isn't this nonsense? Is it still a secret that can be said explicitly?" Zhao Liben said with a blank look: "Don't interrupt! Jiangnan is far away from Beijing, so that's even more so."

After a pause, the old man said in a vicissitudes of life: "What does the situation mean that the situation is gone? Everyone thinks that the situation is gone, but you are really the situation... Then you will wait to see the wall falling and everyone pushes it."

Zhao Hao clearly saw that there were tears in the corners of Zhao Liben's eyes, and it was obvious that the old man was not careful to hurt him.

Yes, isn’t this the reason why Zhao Liben fell in disgrace at the beginning? Everyone thought that Gao Gong was going to deal with him, so they drew a clear line with him, and even put in trouble to please Gao Gong.

In fact, before Gao Gong made a move, Zhao Li was already dealt with by his quick-witted colleagues...

Ah, what a painful realization.

The old man looked up at the roof at forty-five degrees and said, "I am fascinated by the ashes."

~~

Zhao Hao was convinced by the old man and decided to create a scene where the Xu family was in a desperate situation for the officials and civilians in Jiangnan.

But the problem is that he had never dealt with Zou Yinglong, and he wanted to find someone to be a lobbyist but didn't know who was suitable.

Seeing that he had no choice, the old man smiled proudly and said, "Grandpa should go there. Back then, I was in charge of Lianghuai Salt Insight in the Southern Ministry of Revenue and dealt with him a lot, and I still felt a bit incense."

Without this incense, Zhao Li was no matter how capable he was, and those arrogant and arrogant salt merchants would not recognize him as an outdated minister as a mediator.

"That's great. It turns out that at critical moments, it's up to grandpa." Mr. Zhao flattered at the right time and gave a psychological massage to the old man who was too injured today.

"Hmph, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, do you understand?" Zhao Liben knocked on his head and warned: "Don't laugh at me in the future!"
