Old Wei felt that Zhao Chen had really been floating recently.
Since returning from the spring hunt in the northern suburbs, this guy has never left or has people come to visit.
These days, Old Wei took the betting documents from the ministers and came to collect money one by one.
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to court.
To put it bluntly, fortunately the emperor was sick, otherwise the emperor would not have let him go easily.
Now, Zhao Chen didn't even look at himself.
Old Wei is not going to let Zhao Chen go.
Before the gate of Zhao Mansion was closed, he pushed open the door and rushed in.
"Brother Zhao!"
"Brother Zhao, I'm talking to you. Why are you doing so fast?" Old Wei shouted with Zhao Chen.
Li Ruoshuang entered the backyard, Zhao Chen stopped at the bridge and looked back at Lao Wei.
"Have you eaten?" Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng said.
"Eat it." Wei Zheng nodded, but he didn't understand what Zhao Chen meant when he asked himself.
"Then are you full?" Zhao Chen said, turning around and continuing to walk forward.
He was hungry all the way, so he had no intention of talking to Wei Zheng.
"What's wrong? You're not going to the palace just now, but His Majesty scolded you?"
"I want to tell you, your temper really needs to be changed. Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all. How can you argue with Your Majesty?" Old Wei said to Zhao Chen with a serious expression.
Old Wei cares about Zhao Chen.
But Zhao Chen was really not in the mood to talk to him.
The two kept walking into the mansion, and Li Ruoshuang asked someone to send tea.
"What are you doing with me?" Zhao Chen drank a cup of tea and finally felt more comfortable.
Old Wei's head is like a tail, and he can't even shake it off.
"I'm not saying it, I'll discuss it with you if you have something to do." Wei Zheng drank tea and smiled again: "Hey, boy Zhao, didn't you say that Your Majesty has a very good relationship with you? Why didn't you even let the food eat?"
Old Wei guessed the reason.
Eighty-mostly the emperor was annoyed, so Zhao Chen asked the emperor to come back.
"You have received all the money?" Zhao Chen asked.
...
As soon as Zhao Chen left the Lizheng Hall, Crown Prince Li Chengqian arrived.
A monk from the Western Regions was also accompanied.
It is said to be a specialized treatment for various difficult and complicated diseases.
After reporting to others, Li Chengqian entered the Lizheng Hall.
The cups and plates on the table were not cleaned up yet. For a moment, Li Chengqian even felt that the emperor was pretending to be sick.
"My son pays homage to my father and queen." Li Chengqian knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor and queen.
Although the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not kneel down, Li Chengqian was his son.
The emperor and the queen were very happy when they knelt down.
"The prince is intent, get up!" The emperor waved his hand and leaned against the soft couch.
"Come, give me a seat." Queen Changsun shouted.
Someone brought a stool for Li Chengqian.
"Although the prince did not win the first place in the spring hunt, I am very satisfied with your performance this time. I will maintain it in the future. This Tang Dynasty depends on you." The emperor and Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Regardless of the rest, Li Chengqian's performance in this spring hunt is really eye-catching.
If Zhao Chen hadn't set up the trap too strongly, the number one in spring hunt would have been Li Chengqian.
"Qian'er, I've tried my best this time, and your father often talks about this matter." Empress Changsun also said with a smile.
After all, the child raised by himself is the one whom he raised himself. No matter what, he cannot completely ignore it.
Moreover, Li Chengqian's performance this time is indeed good.
They were all very satisfied.
"I thank my father and mother for the praise. My sons will continue to work hard in the future and will definitely set a good example for the prince." Li Chengqian was quite excited.
Since Zhao Chen appeared, he has not heard the praise of the emperor and the queen for a long time.
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded and said nothing.
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian should have stood up and left, but it is obvious that he came here this time not just to see the emperor's brief answer.
"Doesn't there be something else?" Empress Changsun saw Li Chengqian stopping in place, looking indescribable.
"Yes, the mother and son minister have something else to discuss with the father." Li Chengqian said.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Li Shimin frowned slightly.
"Father, my son-in-law thinks that with the ability of Zhao Chen, the Duke of Wannian County, would be a waste of his talents if he only became a small guard at the city gate."
"There were more than 1,500 counties in the Tang Dynasty, so you can ask the Duke of Zhao to be the county magistrate of a certain place..." Li Chengqian bowed to the emperor.
...
After drinking and eating, Zhao Chen was in a much better mood.
Old Wei was actually here to complain to Zhao Chen.
I have been saying how difficult it is for him to collect money these days.
He even asked about Zhao Chen's intention to tell the students about the animal trap in the academy.
Obviously, Old Wei was thinking about taking advantage of Zhao Chen.
Old Wei is jealous of money.
It seems that my wife is not allowed to make money.
"Old Wei, I was the only one who gave the lectures in the academy. You have the courage to take this money?" Zhao Chen felt that he seemed to underestimate the lower limit of Old Wei.
"What are you embarrassed about? You will definitely feel thirsty when you teach. I will serve you tea and water."
"Think about it, I am a dignified Duke and a counselor. I will serve you tea and water at that time, won't you be more respectful?" Wei Zheng said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
Sure enough, for the sake of money, Old Wei can do anything.
"Then how much do you want?" Zhao Chen asked casually.
According to Zhao Chen's perception of Lao Wei, although Lao Wei was greedy for money and liked to take advantage of himself, he still had this number in his heart.
However, when Old Wei said this, Zhao Chen felt that he had obviously underestimated Old Wei's degree of shadyness.
"If you think it's OK, then give me 50%!" Old Wei and Zhao Chen stretched out five fingers.
...
"The prince said, let Zhao Chen go to one place and be a small county magistrate?" Li Shimin leaned on the jade pillow and asked Li Chengqian expressionlessly.
Empress Changsun's face was a little unhappy.
Zhao Chen has been away from her for a full sixteen years. He has finally come back. Now the prince is going to drive Zhao Chen out of Chang'an again?
"God, why did you want Zhao Chen to be the county magistrate? Isn't he good to teach in the academy?" After all, Empress Changsun took into account Li Chengqian's feelings and changed her way of asking questions.
But anyone can hear the unwillingness in the queen's words.
"My mother, Zhao County has a great talent, and you can't stay in the academy all your life. This court is where Zhao Chen should stay." Li Chengqian said firmly, and then a ray of sorrow floated on his face again, saying:
"It's a pity that Zhao Chen is too young. Although he has the ability, he has no political achievements. He has allowed him to enter the center at this moment. What the ministers will never agree with is that it is difficult to explain to the people of the world."
"My son knows that his father and mother value Duke Zhaoxian, but the more he does this, the more he wants to give him more opportunities."
"What my son said is, please consider the father and the queen."
