"The master's calculation is quite good!" Liu Che praised...,

Wang Dao, who was next to him, misunderstood and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you want a servant to say hello?"

"Huh?" Liu Che was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Wang Dao meant.

From the perspective of the ruling class, this family is a troublemaker who jumps up and down and is restless.

For the traditional imperial power, only honest and silent people can be called good citizens.

Guys like Shijia jumping around are as annoying as flies, and they want to be slapped to death!

What's more, this master's family has given so many gifts, but they have not given any gifts to the palace.

The eunuchs and chamberlains in these two palaces, big and small, would be in trouble if they wanted to be happy!

Liu Che smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "No need, I can't tolerate this little thing..."

Wang Dao hurriedly bowed: "No! I know this..."

Liu Che glanced at this guy and didn't say anything. He just gave a leisurely instruction: "Go and send an invitation to Princess Guantao's house and let Brother Chen Xu enter the palace!"

"No!" Wang Dao accepted the order and left.

Liu Che watched the guy disappear from sight and shook his head, knowing that it was time to support another trusted eunuch to play against the king.

It's not a question of trust or not.

It's something you must do as an emperor.

Besides, that was for the good of the king. Liu Che did not want to have to deal with this loyal slave from his previous life in the future.

Two hours later, Liu Che's two cousins, Chen Xu and Chen Xi, arrived hand in hand.

"Your Majesty..." When the two brothers saw Liu Che, they immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty has summoned the ministers to come here. What are your orders?"

Liu Che looked at the two brothers.

Chen Xu is the elder brother. He is two years older than Liu Che. Chen Xu is the younger brother. He is fifteen years old this year.

These two brothers looked like they were quite talented.

But unfortunately, apart from the fighting cock lackeys, Liu Che could hardly see their advantages.

In addition, it may be because their mother Guantao is too strong and seriously favors girls over boys.

Therefore, the two brothers looked a little timid and did not look like relatives or uncles at all, but they looked stupid.

But, it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, there is no need for these two brothers to contribute to the Han family's country. They can stay at home and fight cocks and lackeys and play with maids. They do not go out to bully men and women and act tyrannically. This is their greatest contribution to the country!

"Get up!" Liu Che stood up and said, "Come here, give your two beloved ladies a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xu, who was older after all, took his younger brother to thank him, and then sat down on his seat respectfully.

"Is Tangyihou's health okay?" Liu Che asked.

"Thanks to your majesty, my father has always been in good health..." Chen Xu replied immediately, even a little moved in his eyes.

Liu Che nodded and quickly skipped the topic. Liu Che knew a little bit about the old Chen family's family affairs.

Whether it's Chen Wu waiting for him in Tangyi or Chen's brothers, they are almost all decorations. They are redundant.

Liu Che didn't want to get involved in this family's family affairs.

"I'm going to go hunting in Shanglinyuan tomorrow. You two dear friends, please prepare your own bows and horses and follow me around. How about that?" Liu Che asked with a smile.

Chen Xu and Chen Xi were immediately flattered and worshiped quickly: "No, I am waiting for the imperial edict!"

Going on a game drive is a rare opportunity to get close to the emperor.

Although the two Chen brothers may seem like idiots to outsiders, they themselves don't think so.

After their younger sister became the queen, the two of them expressed at a gathering with many other young men of the same age that they would become the three nobles and nine ministers in the future, or at least be a cavalry general.

"Chen Xi..." Liu Che suddenly looked at Chen Xi and ordered: "Have you taken a concubine recently? From Master Luoyang's family?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, this is the decision of my mother..." Chen Xi bowed his head and bowed, with a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

If possible, Chen Xi would never take a merchant's daughter as his concubine!

You know, for the son of a prince to marry a merchant, it is too cheap to mention it. What's more, he is also a dignified maternal uncle. As long as nothing happens, he will definitely be named a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in the future!

And accepting the daughter of a merchant will be a big stain on him in the future.

It is even enough to become the focus of criticism from others.

A relative of a noble prince, he associates with the untouchables in the city, sacrificing the good and picking up the weak, pursuing the profit of the villain...

Chen Xi could almost imagine how the public opinion between the government and the opposition would discuss this.

But Liu Che's next words dispelled all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Tomorrow, please bring your in-laws with you. Just in time, I have something I want to ask..." Liu Che casually ordered.

"No!" Chen Xi was overjoyed and kowtowed in the eyes of his brother who seemed to be envious and jealous.

………………………………

After returning home, brothers Chen Xu and Chen Yu were immediately called over by their mother for questioning.

Liu Prostitute was lying on the couch, looking lazily at the two brothers kneeling in front of him, and asked: "Why did the emperor ask you to go?"

"Your Majesty ordered your son to go on a safari tomorrow..." Chen Xu did not dare to hide it in front of his mother, and told the matter honestly: "In addition, Your Majesty also ordered my brother to take the people from the master's family to go with him...

…”

"Haha..." Liu Piao sat up, and a maid immediately came over to massage him.

"I know that the emperor will definitely fall in love with this master's family..." Liu Piao raised his eyebrows and said frivolously: "Go and call the master's family to me!"

"No!" The brothers didn't dare to ask their mother why the emperor would look at merchants like the master's family?

In the eyes of the two brothers, those untouchables were flattered by the first meeting.

But Liu Piao might be in a better mood today, so he sat up straight and gave his sons a rare lesson: "You two brats, how do you know the emperor's thoughts?"

"My nephew, the emperor, is more sophisticated and scheming than the previous emperor. Since his rise, every move he made has a profound meaning!" Guantao thought of many past events.

She watched her nephew, the emperor, step by step get to where he is now.

Especially the actions taken after taking the throne. She saw them clearly.

Others say that Guan Tao is the most corrupt person in Chang'an, no matter who he is. As long as he gives money, he will be able to buy it off.

But who knows, he doesn't get any money from Guan Tao.

Some money will be hot to hold!

She is not stupid, and she will not hate Weiyang Palace just for a little profit.

Over the years, outsiders have only seen that many people have stabilized their positions and received promotions through her. However, a few people know that most of those who have retained their official positions and received promotions are people whom the emperor did not want in the first place.

Disposal, or insignificant.

If it were true that giving money to Guantao could save him from death and get promoted, then the government and the public would have been excited.

When the time comes, even the old mother in Changle Palace may not be able to protect her!

In this palace, if you want to live a carefree life, the most important thing is to act according to the wind and observe what is happening.

For example, the late emperor was fond of women.

Guantao did not hesitate to choose the beauties from all over the world as the emperor's sister and eldest princess. Whenever the late emperor came, there would always be beauties with different charms from different places to serve him.

The late emperor was happy. Naturally, her status in the palace rose steadily.

As for the opinions of outsiders? What are they?

But nowadays, people don't care much about beauty. Every time I come to Guantao Mansion, I don't pay much attention to the beauties from all over the world.

On the contrary...

If others don’t know, doesn’t Guan Tao know?

Today, I have a big heart!

Like Emperor Taizong, he was reluctant to eat, let alone build a palace.

He only had three dishes and one soup for one meal. Not to mention compared with other princes, even the well-off families in Chang'an City had more food on their dining table than the emperor.

He was not very fond of beauty either. In addition to the young envoys and the like, the number of concubines who were canonized in the palace were only thirty or forty.

Compared with the hundreds and thousands of beauties of the emperors of the past dynasties, she is simply pure and devoid of desires.

But what is inversely proportional to his personal enjoyment is that since he came to the throne, he has been extremely generous to the people's livelihood and the army.

As soon as he came to power, he announced that he would never increase taxes and granted the people Dingnan four years. In addition to the previous food protection policy, Guandong Guantao didn't know about it, but in Guanzhong, his prestige today is almost the same as that of Taizong's period.

Guantao has no doubt that as long as he gives the order, millions of people in Guanzhong may take up arms and fight for him.

Not to mention, the waterwheel currently being tested in Shanglin Garden, as well as those new agricultural tools and 'flour', 'soybean oil' and other products will make the world crazy in the future.

Others didn't know it, but after Guantao himself went to Shanglin Garden, he immediately paid for the Shaofu to install a waterwheel on his family's manor and land, and also purchased a large number of new farm tools.
