The yard became quiet instantly.
The emperor looked at Zhao Chen as if he was about to swallow him alive.
Let Xiao Lizhi change his father?
Who will be replaced?
You, Zhao Chen, is your father?
Old Li's head and chest were undulating, and his heart was about to explode.
In the past, I wanted to be Zhao Chen's father, but I was indeed his father.
What about now?
Zhao Chen wants Xiao Lizhi to change his father?
What's wrong, Zhao Chen still wants to be Li Zhi's father?
Empress Changsun stared at Zhao Chen with a happier face.
This is what Zhao Chen said. If someone else dared to say such a thing, he would have been killed long ago.
Can you still stand here well?
"Ahem, actually, what I mean is, should King Jin recognizes the God of Wealth as his godfather? This way..." Zhao Chen waved his hand and forced an explanation.
The emperor and the queen would not believe Zhao Chen's nonsense.
"I think you are still young, so I won't hold you accountable for your crazy words. This is the case, the 300,000 you said, I..."
"Your Majesty, you are the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, how can you..."
"Ruoshuang, I'll have lunch here later. Take your aunt to the backyard to see what seasonal vegetables are there. Let Zhao Chen make two for me later." The emperor did not wait for Empress Changsun to finish,
Then he had to pay Empress Changsun.
The emperor's pockets were empty.
Now there is a huge sum of money placed in front of him, how can he bear it?
Moreover, this is originally my own money, why can't I ask for it?
Empress Changsun left helplessly with Li Ruoshuang, and glared at Zhao Chen fiercely before leaving.
Zhao Chenquan pretended not to see it.
Wu Xi and Xiao Li Zhi were also taken away, and only Zhao Chen and the Emperor were left in the yard.
"Brother Zhao, you are using me as a gun envoy. I know that even if I can't afford the money, I will ask you for the method of making the Eight-Nuo Crossbow."
"That's why I thought about letting me tell this lie."
"You guys have a lot of thoughts." The emperor sat on the recliner and looked at Zhao Chen without any expression on his face.
Zhao Chen knew the emperor.
The more calm the Old Li was, the more he wanted to try his method in his heart.
Otherwise, how could he have sent Empress Changsun away?
"As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, being able to contribute to the country is Zhao Chen's blessing, not."
When the emperor heard Zhao Chen's words, he kept rolling his eyes in his heart.
He wouldn't believe Zhao Chen's nonsense.
Sure enough, I heard it and continued: "But the Eight Niu Crossbow also took a lot of effort. It is normal for His Majesty to buy it for money."
"Even if the Ministry of Revenue cannot be His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty can be said that I, Zhao Chen, want 500,000 yuan. I will give you a 60% discount to Your Majesty. If you have an extra 200,000 yuan, you will get a kickback."
"Kickback?" This was the first time the emperor heard such a word.
But he also knew that many of the officials below had such transactions with merchants.
This time, I didn't expect that it was his own turn.
But what Zhao Chen said is reasonable.
When a person makes good things, he naturally has to pay for it if he wants them.
Zhao Chen only has 300,000 guan, and the extra 200,000 guan is considered to be a filial piety to me by his son.
The emperor suddenly understood it.
"Brother Zhao, I am also for the strength of the Tang army's combat effectiveness, otherwise I would never agree to you."
"I'll take me to see your more powerful Eight-ox Crossbow later!" The emperor said to Zhao Chen very seriously.
But the corner of his eyes was glancing on the pile of copper coins in the yard.
...
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, just now, the news came from Duke Chen's mansion that Zhao Chen not only wanted to leave the 300,000 guan, but also forced Hou Junji to hand over the 30,000 guan that the Crown Prince sent last night."
Donggong, Li Tai has been moving here for some time.
At this moment, he was copying a copybook given to him by the queen in the yard.
The copybook is written by Zhao Chen, but Li Tai copied it six points.
But it lacks the charm.
"I have to say that Zhao Chen is really capable. I have been copying his copybook for some time."
"I don't want to do it but I still have the same shape, but I can't get the charm of it." Li Tai put down his pen and sat down aside.
A maid brought a handkerchief behind her.
Even in winter, Li Tai often sweats heavily.
"You said just now that Zhao Chen forced Hou Junji to hand over the 30,000 yuan sent by this palace?" Li Tai asked the eunuch with the sweat on his face.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Then Zhao Chen said he was worried that the amount of money was wrong and asked someone to count it one by one. Hou Junji had no choice but to promise to give the 30,000 guan." The eunuch nodded and explained.
Although the eunuch is a eunuch, he has seen the world.
Why is Hou Junji also a Duke of the State? He is still a general with military power and is in charge of the Ministry of War.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a great minister.
But why was Zhao Chen ate it so hard?
Even the 30,000 stag of copper coins that the prince gave was forced to hand over by Zhao Chen?
"Let me count them one by one?" Li Tai frowned, then shook his head with a sneer, "Zhao Chen is really tricky and has taken shamelessness to the extreme."
"What are Hou Junji doing now?" Li Tai asked again.
"I didn't do anything. After Zhao Chen and the others left, they went back to the study alone, and they didn't hear the sound of smashing things." The eunuch replied.
"Okay, go back!" Li Tai waved.
It’s good that Hou Junji has no impulse.
Now what Li Tai needs most is to stabilize his position as the prince.
In another month, the emperor will tour the south of the Yangtze River.
This period of time is the best time for him to win over officials and stabilize his status.
Nothing can happen at this time.
"Come here, send the gifts I received today to Duke Chen's mansion." Li Tai said to the guards beside him.
...
"Your Majesty, you won't really agree to Zhao Chen to deceive the ministers in the court, right?"
"If this is exposed, it will be a huge thing."
After lunch in Zhao's Mansion, the emperor took Zhao Chen to see the Eight Cow Crossbow.
On the way, the queen remembered the bad idea that Zhao Chen and the emperor had come up with before.
To be continued...
