Chu Suiliang didn't want to end up like this, either.
He didn't even react, he just received a solid punch.
But what he knows is that his face today has been absolutely lost.
While the dignified Imperial Academy was offering wine, he was actually punched by a lowly businessman.
Still in the public eye.
If he just lets it go today, how will he behave in the court in the future?
And Zhao Chen, who clearly saw that Chu Suiliang was punched by a lowly businessman, actually thought about letting it go?
What do you think of Chu Suiliang?
"Come here, take this bastard to me. If you dare to attack me, I will definitely make him walk away with nothing to eat." Chu Suiliang shouted to the officials behind him.
The Imperial College officials behind him also recovered from their shock.
Several people rushed over and wanted to take down the shopkeeper Mobeiqiu.
Shopkeeper Mobei Qiu also regained his composure at this moment, and now he looked shocked when he saw that the person he had just beaten was Chu Suiliang, the imperial wine priest.
"Chu...Chu..." Shopkeeper Mobei Qiu was speechless at this moment.
Su Wo Qinghe looked at Zhao Chen at this moment. She always thought that the punch from the shopkeeper Mobeiqiu was Zhao Chen's instruction.
Otherwise, how could a shopkeeper dare to take action against people like Chu Suiliang?
But now seeing the appearance of shopkeeper Mobei Qiu, Su Wo Qinghe was a little unsure of his guess.
"Chu Jijiu, why do you need to embarrass a small businessman? This does not lower your status?" Zhao Chen said to Chu Suiliang with a smile.
Zhao Chen smiled, and Chu Suiliang knew that he could talk while standing without pain in his back.
More likely, the guy in front of him might be the culprit who instructed that person to get out and do something to him.
If you don't embarrass him, why don't you let him go?
"A small businessman? Making things difficult for him?"
"If it were you, Shangshu Zhao, who was humiliated today, I'm afraid you would have torn off this bastard's head by now."
"Zhao Shangshu, don't think that I can't see that this bastard is the person you arranged." Chu Suiliang said.
The last words came to Zhao Chen's ear, but his voice was gloomy.
He, Chu Suiliang, would not give up easily after being humiliated like this.
The people sitting next to him saw Zhao Chen standing up and seemed to be speaking for shopkeeper Mobeiqiu.
Everyone also speculated for a while.
"Prime Minister Wei, why do I feel that shopkeeper Qiu was under Zhao Chen's orders? Otherwise, how could Zhao Chen protect him?" Fang Xuanling was a little confused.
I think this is very strange.
Zhao Chen has never been a person who likes to fight against injustice.
He will not interfere with things or people that have nothing to do with him, but at this moment...
Wei Zheng looked in the direction of Zhao Chen. He felt the same as Fang Xuanling.
He even guessed that Zhao Chen had long known that Chu Suiliang and others would come here.
The shopkeeper of Mobei Qiu in front of him was Zhao Chen who stayed here waiting for Chu Suiliang.
"This matter is really unclear. I guess only he knows about it."
"But Chu Suiliang will not give up easily." Wei Zheng shook his head and said.
No one would take a punch from someone else and pretend that nothing happened.
What's more, the person who attacked him was a lowly businessman.
The emperor was also attracted by the situation ahead.
At least he didn't expect that a small businessman would dare to take advantage of the Imperial Academy's wine offering.
Even the emperor looked displeased at this moment.
In any case, if a businessman dares to take action against the dignified Imperial College's sacrificial wine, this is treason.
"Young man Zhao went too far. He allowed a businessman to attack Chu Suiliang in such a public place." The emperor frowned and said to Empress Changsun next to him.
Empress Changsun knew that the emperor was unhappy.
But at this moment, there is no evidence to prove that Shopkeeper Qiu was arranged by Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, please don't be upset. We still don't know what is going on." Empress Changsun said to the emperor.
The emperor said nothing and looked at Zhao Chen in front of him.
He also wanted to know how Zhao Chen would handle this matter.
The school grounds were very quiet at the moment. Everyone was looking at Zhao Chen, waiting for his answer.
Zhao Chen looked at Chu Suiliang, he was not very willing to conflict with Chu Suiliang.
But Chu Suiliang always found trouble in his face.
"Chu Jijiu, this is my Chang'an Military Academy, and they are all my guests."
"I hope you won't do anything drastic."
"In addition, His Majesty has given the nod to the matter of businessmen's children enrolling in the Imperial College. Although you are the Imperial College's minister, you cannot make the final decision on this matter."
"Finally, I would like to advise you, take your people and leave here." Zhao Chen's voice echoed throughout the school grounds.
Chu Suiliang's face was extremely ugly.
You were beaten, but you can't even get justice?
"Your Majesty, do you think I deserve this?" Chu Suiliang suddenly asked the emperor loudly.
"Your Majesty is here too?"
"I don't know, I didn't notice it."
"Look, it's over there!"
Chu Suiliang's words made everyone search for traces of the emperor.
After a while, someone saw the emperor and empress in casual clothes.
As soon as Chu Suiliang came over, he saw the emperor and empress sitting far away.
At this moment, he also wanted to ask whether the emperor paid much attention to him, the Imperial Academy, in offering wine.
The emperor also felt embarrassed at this moment.
He needed to raise the remaining five hundred thousand silver coins from merchants.
Otherwise something will definitely happen in Hedong.
But this damn shopkeeper Qiu was so desperate that he punched Chu Suiliang.
It is not good for you to protect anyone.
Protecting Chu Suiliang would definitely dampen the enthusiasm of businessmen, and Chu Suiliang would disrupt the situation.
If I were partial to him, the possibility of businessmen's children enrolling in the Imperial College would be almost gone.
Don't think about it even if you have half a million pounds of silver.
But if they favored that damn shopkeeper, how would Chu Suiliang and other officials of the Imperial College deal with themselves?
You little bastard, I wish I could punch you away.
The emperor secretly cursed Zhao Chen.
The atmosphere in the audience was a bit solemn, and no one knew how the emperor would choose.
Chu Suiliang looked very ugly.
The emperor didn't speak for so long, but he had already made a decision.
Otherwise, a dignified Imperial College minister would be offering wine to a lowly businessman.
Why is the emperor so difficult to make a choice?
Sure enough, things were just as Chu Suiliang guessed.
"Chu Aiqing, shopkeeper Qiu was impulsive just now and made a mistake first."
"Ask him to apologize to you. Don't be so unforgiving as it would be unworthy of your status as a wine-sacrifice in the Imperial College."
"In addition, I agree with the matter of businessmen's children enrolling in the Imperial College."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be as prosperous as we are today. If Chu Aiqing doesn't understand, just come to Ganquan Hall tomorrow and ask me."
"Stand down today!" The emperor walked up to the high platform and slowly said to Chu Suiliang.
The emperor's meaning has been expressed very clearly.
I just want to cover up what happened just now.
He even did not hesitate to damage the face of Chu Suiliang, the Imperial Academy's wine sacrificer.
Everyone looked at Chu Suiliang, but saw that Chu Suiliang's expression changed several times.
"Your Majesty's intention, I understand." Chu Suiliang held hands with the emperor.
After leaving such a sentence, he turned around and left.
All the Imperial College officials were stunned on the spot.
Looking at Chu Suiliang's leaving figure, everyone didn't know what to do.
"Is it not good for Your Majesty to do this?" Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng asked.
Of course it is not good for the emperor to do this.
Everyone can see this.
But the emperor still did it, and the reason...
"Perhaps Your Majesty has his own considerations!" Wei Zheng shook his head.
If you hurt a minister of the DPRK like this, you don't know what trouble will happen in the future.
Shopkeeper Qiu saw that Chu Suiliang had really left, and he felt extremely grateful to the emperor.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Shopkeeper Qiu immediately knelt down with the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand and signaled Shopkeeper Qiu to stand up.
Then he said to everyone: "I have personally appointed the businessmen's children to enroll in the Imperial College. The number of places is limited. Please continue, I will leave first."
The emperor has no choice but to stay here any longer, even if he really wants to see how much money he can make in the end.
But staying here makes everyone unable to let go, so he might as well leave.
The emperor and Empress Changsun left, and the auction began again.
This time, the prices shouted by the merchants were even more outrageous.
