Zhao Hao knew very well that there might be a butterfly effect, causing changes in the content of the letter Zhang Siwei wrote to his uncle.

But a slight discrepancy would not have any impact, even if it was close to the letter. Because Xiao Wei and his uncle had no way to defend themselves, they could not say, "My letter was not written like this," and they could not show the letter to anyone.

On the contrary, it must be burned as soon as possible.

But burning it is useless. Since ancient times, rumors have always been used to kill people with only three words: "groundless". The truth has never been important, what is important is "belief". As long as the government and the public believe that they did it, it is enough. As for what the truth is, no one cares. No one will believe you even if you show evidence...

As for whether this would ruin the proposal of enfeoffment and tribute, Mr. Zhao was not worried at all. Because with the judgment of his father-in-law and Mr. Gao, it is impossible for them not to see the solution he left for them, but this solution would sacrifice Xiao Wei and a certain eunuch in the palace.

This is a good thing. Zhang Siwei is a typical yin-yang person and conservative. He is the culprit who forced his father-in-law's family to death and eliminated the Longwan Reform. If he is not killed before the tribute is completed, Gao Gong will promote him to the position of Minister of Personnel after the success. Then he will be too powerful to be eliminated.

As for a certain eunuch in the palace, Master Zhao himself did not have any ill feelings against him. After all, Qiankun Yizhi was a range attack that affected all the eunuchs in the Silijian. Eunuch Chen also received a lot of extra fees because he was the eunuch in charge of the seal.

But the problem was that there was another eunuch Feng who did not want to reveal his name, but he wanted Chen Hong to die. For this reason, he asked Master Zhao for help and asked him to help him think of a solution. Since he was currently relying on him to deal with the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the future fortune of Eunuch Feng, Zhao Hao had to help him.

If the Chief of the Imperial Household Department had not passed on the information, how could Zhao Hao have been able to handle the situation so perfectly?

In fact, there is no perfect plan in this world. If you don't want to rely on luck, you have to rely on intelligence. The more and deeper the intelligence you have, the easier it is for your plan to succeed.

Therefore, Mr. Zhao’s great prophecy skills are truly unrivaled in the world!

After a cup of tea, Shao Fang and his son-in-law came out of the secret room. Shao Daxia clasped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, brother. Elder Gao has something important to tell me, and you must go and do it immediately. Let's meet again another day."

"Okay, another day." Zhao Hao smiled and stood up and said, "Today is over, I'll take my leave, and please do as you please."

"Some other day." Shao Fang sent him to the yard. Without waiting for Zhao Hao's carriage to leave, he also got on the blue wool sedan chair carried by eight people and hurried out.

Zhao Hao asked Gao Wu to drive the carriage to the side of the road so as not to block the way of Shao Xia.

Looking through the car window, Sister Ma couldn't help but smile as she watched the sedan chair carried by eight men, escorted by sixteen guards in red uniforms, driving away in a swagger. "This Shao master must be very good at playing Go," she said.

"How did you know that?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.

"Why else would you be so arrogant?" Sister Ma smiled and handed over the hangover medicine she had prepared long ago. In the evening, Master Zhao was going to host a banquet for the board members of Xishan Group at Weijixian. How could he resist without some tricks?

This is a hangover sobering product developed by Jiangnan Hospital. It is actually made by mixing fresh oyster meat with ginger vinegar and then

Store in cans.

Treasure Old Boy Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "oyster meat is sweet, warm and non-toxic. Cooking it can cure deficiency, regulate the middle, and relieve erysipelas. Eating it raw with ginger and vinegar can cure restlessness and heat after drinking and quench thirst."

This product was produced according to the recipe he provided. And it is well known that oysters can not only sober you up, but also boost your virility. Which rich man in this era is not overindulgent in drinking and sex? So as long as the publicity can keep up, no matter how high the price is, it will definitely be in short supply.

However, for the sake of prudence, this product is still in the small-scale trial stage. It will be put on the market for promotion one year after it is proven to be effective and has no side effects, so as not to damage the reputation of Jiangnan Hospital.

Master Zhao even thought of a domineering name for it, called 'Sea King's Golden Bottle'!

"Hiss, this smell is so pungent..." Zhao Hao tilted his head back and swallowed a big mouthful of grayish-white sticky substance, then quickly drank a few sips of honey water to suppress the fishy and sour smell.

"We need to ask them to adjust the formula. Such a strong smell will affect sales..."

"Okay, I'll report it to them." Sister Ma tasted it and found the taste acceptable. I wonder if it's because she likes eating fish sashimi?

"Oh, sir, Lord Zhao sent an invitation to invite you to his house for a chat."

"Oh?" Zhao Hao thought to himself that this cousin was really trying hard to turn the tables. It was a pity that not only could he not help him, but he also wanted to destroy him. Meeting him was useless and would only increase resentment.

"Forget it, find an excuse to go back for me..." Young Master Zhao ordered.

"Then what's a suitable excuse?" Secretary Ma asked. She didn't dare to make decisions on her own on such matters.

"Just say that my father-in-law doesn't allow me to go." Zhao Hao said, "Okay, that's a bit too shameless. Then just say that I caught a cold and will come to visit after I recover... Oh no, I will definitely come to visit after I recover."

"But you still have to go to Weijixian to entertain the directors tonight." Secretary Ma reminded them that there is no impenetrable wall in the capital, and Lord Zhao might find out.

"Oh, then he got sick tonight at midnight." Young Master Zhao smiled familiarly and said, "Go and get a doctor at three o'clock in the morning, and do the whole show. By the way, is Doctor Wang, who used to live next door to my brother, still here? If he is, just go find him. He is very familiar with this kind of thing, so there is no need to waste time."

"Uh, okay..." Secretary Ma twitched his lips twice and nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Master Shao arrived at the Sanjin Guild Hall in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Seeing that Mr. Chu Xiu, the spokesperson of Lord Gao who was now very famous in the capital, had come, Yang Sihe did not dare to neglect him. He quickly ordered the middle door to be opened and personally welcomed the sedan chair into the courtyard.

The sedan bearer lifted the curtain and Shao the Great bent down.

"Oh my, what brings Mr. Chu Xiu here? You really make my humble home shine!" Yang Sihe bowed with a smile on his face. "It's cold outside, please come in quickly."

"President Yang, don't be polite. Is Mr. Zhang here? I have something urgent to discuss with him!" Shao Fang asked in a cold voice with a stern face.

"That's right. Brother Ziwei is in charge of the Hanlin Academy. How can he just stay here without doing anything?" Yang Sihe said with a smile.

"Then let him come back quickly!" Shao Daxia ordered.

"Is it urgent?" Yang Sihe asked.

"It's extremely urgent. If it's too late, his life might not be saved!" Shao Fang flicked his sleeves and strode into the house.

"Ah?" Yang Sihe was frightened and quickly asked someone to call Zhang Siwei.

In fact, Zhang Siwei was not in the Hanlin Academy at all. During this period, he had been canvassing for votes everywhere, hoping to make a greater contribution to the next court meeting.

In his opinion, it didn't matter if he failed the first court meeting, which made Gao Gong rely more on the Shanxi Gang.

If it is passed in the second court meeting, my contribution will be more prominent.

At that time, he would be able to legitimately make the leap from a Hanlin scholar to a senior official in the imperial court.

Zhang Siwei was born in the richest family in Shanxi. He was famous at the age of seven. He won the second place in the provincial examination at the age of 23. Three years later, he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Because of his excellent articles and calligraphy, he was selected as a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy.

Among his elders were high-ranking officials such as Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu. The unique and superior growth conditions in the Ming Dynasty made him arrogant and insolent.

In Xiao Wei's opinion, he was born to do great things. He did not care about official positions below the fourth rank at all. He thought that his career had just started when he became a third-rank minister.

Gao Ge Lao had already promised him personally that after Altan Khan's tribute was approved, he would be promoted to the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Given that Wang Bengu's ability was mediocre and he was not favored by Gao Ge Lao, if nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be able to become Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!

This stage was a critical period for his career to rise. Zhang Siwei was in an extremely excited state, with selfless enthusiasm, spending money everywhere day and night. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, and wrote letters to his uncle almost every day...

When Yang Sihe sent someone to find him, he was in a high-end club in Goulan Hutong, entertaining Zhang Yuanshan, the Earl of Hui'an, who had voted against the nomination in the last imperial election.

In order to disintegrate the opposition camp, Zhang Siwei could only cater to their interests and defeat them one by one. This Mr. Zhang had a preference for men, so he invited several minor officials who were at the top of the imperial chrysanthemum list to accompany Zhang Yuanshan for drinking and entertainment. Zhang Yuanshan flirted with several handsome male prostitutes, and it was like entering the paradise.

Xiao Wei was also served by a heroic husband, and he and Zhang Yuanshan had a very pleasant chat. Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhang Siwei proposed that he hoped that he could support him for a while because they were all like-minded people...

Zhang Yuanshan couldn't refuse outright, and was hesitating about how to answer when Yang Sihe's son came in hurriedly and told him to go home immediately, saying something serious had happened!

After learning what happened, Zhang Siwei's expression changed drastically. He could no longer continue chatting with Zhang Yuanshan, so he had to make an appointment for another day.

But Zhang Yuanshan was not as self-conscious as Zhao Hao, so how could he miss this free opportunity? So he let Xiao Wei go first and let him have fun. Of course, the account would be registered under Zhang Siwei's name...

Xiao Wei hasn’t even enjoyed it yet, this is a huge loss!

~~

By the time Zhang Siwei hurried back to the Sanjin Guild Hall, it was already dark.

Shao Daxia had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and without being polite to him, he immediately cursed: "If you want to die, jump into the well, don't kill us all!"

"Why do I want to die?" Xiao Wei's face suddenly darkened. No one had ever dared to scold him to his face in his life.

"When you asked me about the cabinet draft that day, didn't you swear not to spread it? How come you turned around and wrote a letter to tell Wang Chonggu!" Shao Fang spitted on his face. Just as Gao Gong guessed, Zhang Siwei would indeed spend a lot of money to buy valuable cabinet drafts from Shao Fang.

Of course, this money is definitely worth it, because he can earn ten or twenty times the profit. Xiao Wei is a descendant of Shanxi merchants, how could he do a business that loses money?

"How can my uncle be considered an outsider?" Zhang Siwei subconsciously explained, but then his hands and feet turned cold, and he looked at Shao Da Xia as if he had seen a ghost, and his voice changed tone.

"But you, how did you know?!"
