"How is it? Can you discuss it?" Zhao Chen finished washing the pot, poured oil into the pot after it was red, and asked Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was a little hesitant.
He didn't want to feel wronged Hou Junji.
After all, Hou Junji did make great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin attached great importance to his heroes.
He also cherishes his feathers very much.
"Brother Zhao, I can't agree to you about this." Li Shimin was silent for a moment, shook his head, and rejected Zhao Chen.
Wei Zheng sat aside, feeling relieved.
He was really worried that the emperor would agree to Zhao Chen's conditions.
If the emperor really agreed to Zhao Chen, he would remove Hou Junji's name from the list of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Wei Zheng was completely disappointed with the emperor.
The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked.
This is what every hero is most worried about.
Today, the emperor was able to abandon Hou Junji for Zhao Chen's conditions.
In the future, you can abandon anyone for other things.
Such an emperor is terrible.
Wei Zheng had already decided that as long as the emperor nodded in agreement, he would write a letter to retire and return home tomorrow.
Fortunately...
Zhao Chen seemed not to hear the emperor's rejection, but continued, "The conditions I gave were very superior."
"Then the glass can be burned immediately. I can hand over all the fire methods."
"The annual output of glass can be estimated to make millions of trump cards, which is faster than collecting taxes."
"If you agree, I will hand over all the cement kilns."
"I can't let the Salt Bureau share the money."
"How about it, aren't you the most short of money? You can always fill in your private warehouse."
"Si—"
When the pork was put into the pot, a burst of white smoke rose, and a moment the aroma of meat spreaded.
If it were the usual old Li, he would definitely have a mouthful of saliva.
But now, he has no idea about this.
Zhao Chen's conditions are really tempting.
Not to mention Liuli’s income, this is not clear.
In the Salt Bureau alone, Zhao Chen can get about 1.5 million ounces of money every year.
And that cement kiln.
Now all rich people start to pour cement roads into their homes.
The demand for cement is very large.
At least one year, there are millions of traffic.
So much money is enough to fill his two private warehouses.
It is absolutely impossible to say that you are not moved.
But the money came in inappropriately.
Li Shimin was extremely short of money and wanted to sleep with the money every day.
But then you can’t do things against your conscience, right!
Wei Zheng looked at the emperor and Zhao Chen again.
This guy Zhao Chen is a little strange today.
For a collection of Hou Jun, I spent a lot of money on this.
This is obviously abnormal.
"No, you still have to consider this?" Zhao Chen asked.
The shallot peppers were thrown into the pot and sizzled.
The spicy taste accompanied by the aroma of meat makes people saliva flow.
"No, I don't think about it anymore. I will not treat my heroes in the Tang Dynasty because of anything." Li Shimin stood up and said firmly to Zhao Chen.
After saying that, he sat back on his feet.
Holding a fire stick in his hand, he picked up the firewood in the stove.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Zheng showed excitement and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.
The emperor did not respond.
He really couldn't bear to have the income of millions of dollars a year.
Thinking of his empty private warehouse, which was not even a mouse, he felt a little frustrated.
However, Hou Junji was a hero of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter how poor I am, I can't get on the pirate ship of Zhao Chen.
"I thought you would agree. It seems that you are the old Li I know." Zhao Chen took the spatula and stir-fryed the meat with the chili in the pan.
"Hmm?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
"Are you testing me?" Li Shimin suddenly understood something.
Wei Zheng was stunned at the same time.
Zhao Chen is actually testing the emperor!
And from beginning to end, I have never disclosed it to myself!
“Just ask…”
"Ask you uncle!" Old Li was completely furious at that time.
He poked the fire stick in his hand suddenly.
At that time, the pot was stabbed out from underneath.
All the dishes that have been fried have been left on the stove.
...
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty is angry?"
In the hall, Li Shimin's roar came from afar.
Hong Fu Nu looked at Empress Changsun in surprise.
They have not yet concluded the matter of whom Li Ruoshuang is taken care of.
As he was talking, he heard the emperor's roar from afar.
But it scared Hongfunn.
She had never heard the emperor's irritable voice.
I thought to myself, maybe Zhao Chen did something that made the emperor angry.
Then why don't you...
"Empress, Zhao Chen is still young and has many things that are prone to impulsiveness. If His Majesty blames you, please give me more comfort."
"Ruoshuang, let her live in the palace, I'll feel relieved." Hongfu Nu suddenly said to Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun was a little confused.
I had been worn out before, and I didn't see any Hongfu nodding.
Why did it suddenly...
"Sister, don't worry, sister, don't do your best to her daughter-in-law!" Queen Changsun said with a pun smile.
"If my sister wants to see Ruoshuang or if she wants to, she can move in with her."
"This is the token from the palace, I'll hand it over to my sister." Empress Changsun took out a waist sign and handed it to Hongfunn.
Empress Changsun is happy.
I was still thinking about what happened in the kitchen.
He actually helped him a lot.
...
"Give it a compensation!" Zhao Chen's faint words did not make Old Li irritated to death.
Looking at the hot peppers all over the floor.
As well as the iron pot that was poked back on the stove, Li Shimin looked a little embarrassed.
He was so angry.
When he was excited, he thrust the pot at Zhao Chen's house!
Isn't it just a pot?
Why did I even let myself pay for it?
Stingy, stingy like this?
"What should I do now?" Wei Zheng looked at the fried peppers all over the floor with a pity.
He has been thinking about it for a long time.
I finally tried Zhao Chen's skills, but why did I beat the pot over?
"What are you still eating?" Seeing that the two of them stared at each other and didn't say anything, Wei Zheng asked again.
"Forget it." Zhao Chen glanced at Old Li's head.
He took the fire stick and slowly embedded the iron pot back.
"The quality of your pot is pretty good, it doesn't leak, haha!" Old Li laughed twice in order to hide his embarrassment.
Zhao Chen ignored him.
The atmosphere on the scene was even more awkward.
Old Li sat silently at the stove, stretching his head to look at the bottom of the pot.
Zhao Chen was brushing the pot without even turning his eyes.
Wei Zheng hugged his hand and hugged in the corner, not daring to say a word.
"Si—"
The pork is put into the pot again.
The expressions of the three of them were a little relaxed.
"Brother Zhao, why do you want to test me?"
"What is there for me to make you feel inappropriate?" After a while of silence, Li Shimin raised his head and asked Zhao Chen.
If you are tempted, you will never feel comfortable.
And he believed in Zhao Chen so much, but he didn't believe in him.
This caused a great blow to Li Shimin.
Wei Zheng looked over and waited for Zhao Chen's explanation.
What people fear the most is temptation.
The human heart cannot withstand temptation.
Wei Zheng didn't understand how a smart person like Zhao Chen could do such an outrageous thing.
