"But you must also understand that the King of Han is an iron rooster whose feathers are plucked by geese. If you want him to pay, there is no benefit, and he will not be able to contribute." The emperor spoke, looking at everyone.
All the officials remained silent again.
Zhao Chen had dared to collect tolls at Mingde Gate before, and all officials, big and small, had their hair plucked by him.
It just so happens that people still have confidence.
None of the officials dared to threaten Zhao Chen with the righteousness of their family and country.
Otherwise, the emperor would not get any benefit from this, and would offend Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen is still angry because of Wu Jue's incident, so no one will deal with ministers like them.
"Why didn't you speak again?" the emperor asked.
The officials remained silent.
Wei Zheng stood up at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, Hedong is now asking for help, and the post of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is pending again."
"I wonder if the King of Han can be appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs and let him deal with the affairs of Hedong."
"The King of Han is resourceful and rich. He is the best candidate to serve as Minister of Household Affairs."
After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Changsun Wuji seemed to react.
Aren’t these people directing and acting on their own?
Isn't this just what happened after Zhao Chen arrived and asked him to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
The emperor is so scheming!
In this way, if the emperor later appoints Zhao Chen as the Minister of Household Affairs, there will be no reason for the officials to stop him.
You can also block it.
Whoever blocks it will go and solve the problems in Hedong.
The emperor's move was really wonderful.
All the officials remained silent. They knew what the emperor would say in response if they objected.
"What Xiang Wei said makes sense, and I mean the same thing."
"Where is the King of Han? It's already dawn, is it time to arrive?" The emperor was very satisfied with Wei Zheng's cooperation with him.
At this moment, all the officials who met were silent, but they were talking about Zhao Chen.
"coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an official saw Zhao Chen walking in from the door of Tai Chi Hall.
Along with him, there was a wheelbarrow.
Good guy, you have done all the preparations.
The emperor's expression also changed.
Didn't Zhao Chen agree to his conditions, so why did he use a wheelbarrow to push the bill to him?
"Auxiliary engine, what's going on?" The emperor lowered his voice and asked Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji shook his head, how could he know what Zhao Chen was going to do!
"Zhao Chen has met Your Majesty." Zhao Chen stood in the center of the hall and held hands with the emperor.
The emperor's face twitched, he didn't understand what Zhao Chen wanted to do.
It was agreed that Zhao Chen would not charge him any money and would give him the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Why is this...
"Hey, what is this?" Although he knew exactly what was piled on the wheelbarrow, the emperor still had to ask.
"Oh, this is the list of money your Majesty owes you in recent years."
"Your Majesty, you see, this is the money consumed in the first month of road construction in Tubo, three hundred thousand guan."
"This is for the second month, five hundred thousand dollars."
"And this..."
"Stop, stop, stop, what do you want to say?" The emperor interrupted Zhao Chen and continued.
After all these expenses were exposed, he couldn't pay Zhao Chen back?
After interrupting Zhao Chen, the emperor glared at Changsun Wuji fiercely.
Changsun Wuji also had a look of astonishment on his face, that was not what Zhao Chen told him at that time.
Why did you change your mind again today?
"Your Majesty, it's time to pay back the money." With Zhao Chen's words, the emperor almost lost his temper and chopped down Changsun Wuji with a knife.
Secretly scolding Changsun Wuji, is this the so-called thing you agreed with Zhao Chen?
All the officials also changed their expressions.
This is the second time Zhao Chen has chased him to the Tai Chi Palace.
The first time it was because of the road construction by the merchants. This time, well, from what Zhao Chen said, it seemed that it was still because of the road construction.
"I have no money!" The emperor was like a frustrated ball at the moment, sitting on the throne and saying expressionlessly.
The emperor understands that today, it’s better not to think about losing face!
It's better to lie down directly, so that Zhao Chen can't cut himself!
"Your Majesty, if you owe money to pay back the debt, it's not that Your Majesty said that you have no money, so you don't have to pay back the money, right?"
"Then if everyone does this, who in the world will still care about credibility?"
"Am I right, everyone?" After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he asked the officials of Tai Chi Hall again.
How could Baiguan dare to answer Zhao Chen's words?
If you say that the emperor should pay back the money, then you are not looking for trouble with the emperor.
He said that the emperor should not pay back the money, and the people of the world knew it, so he should not poke their spines.
"Changsun Wuji, after you retire from the court, I have to kill you!" The emperor got down from the throne, walked to Changsun Wuji, and whispered.
Changsun Wuji's face turned dark. He didn't know what was wrong with Zhao Chen's brain.
Isn’t this killing yourself?
Eh, something seems wrong.
That day Zhao Chen seemed to have told himself that he would have more conflicts with his eldest grandson Wuji in front of the emperor.
Could it be...
Changsun Wuji thought to himself.
"Little bastard, what do you want to do?" The emperor came to Zhao Chen again and asked in a deep voice.
"Should I ask you to marry Wu Jue to King Gaochang?" Zhao Chen replied, but he almost fainted from the emperor's anger.
The reason why Zhao Chen made such a big fuss was really because of Wu Jue's incident!
"You!" The emperor resisted the urge to punch Zhao Chen in the face.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs only has less than 500,000 guan of silver. If you want to get back the money owed to you by the imperial court."
"I can make you the Minister of Household Affairs, and you can find a way to earn the money back..."
"Your Majesty's plan is very good."
"Why don't I ask His Majesty directly for the money, instead of having to find a way on my own?"
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance, I don't care about you?" Zhao Chen said, but it could make the emperor's head smoke with anger.
But the emperor had no way to refute Zhao Chen.
After all, the matter of letting Zhao Chen serve as the Minister of Household Affairs was just a matter of discussion between a few of them, and Zhao Chen never mentioned it.
But Changsun Wuji was in a state of confusion at this moment.
He knew that Zhao Chen wanted to be the Minister of Household Affairs.
Originally, if you wanted to be the Minister of Household Affairs, you had to ask the emperor for permission.
In the end, Zhao Chen was fine.
I asked for food while standing up.
The emperor still has to beg him!
Hey, awesome!
Changsun Wuji has never admired a person as much as he does now!
"Little bastard, Wu Jue's matter can no longer be undone. If you agree to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs, I will give you some other benefits. Let's just forget about it. How about that?" The emperor was also forced into a corner.
Fortunately, he was in the Tai Chi Palace, otherwise Zhao Chen would have been eaten alive by the emperor.
"Benefits, tell me, what are the benefits?" Zhao Chen's voice was loud, not like the emperor's whisper just now.
The corners of Baiguan's mouth twitched.
By asking for benefits from the emperor openly and openly, Zhao Chen obviously took all the courage of a leopard in history.
The emperor was also so angry that his head was dizzy and his heart and liver were trembling.
The fists hidden in his sleeves hit his waist one after another.
Mudd!
I have really committed eight lifetimes of sin!
The emperor howled in his heart.
"What benefits do you want, write it down on this piece of paper and have someone bring it to me later."
"The king of Han, Zhao Chen, is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"Quit the court!" The emperor slapped a piece of paper on Zhao Chen's chest. After saying this, he ran away angrily regardless of the officials' surprise.??
