Chapter eight hundred and sixty-eight of those fools of the Ministry of War
"I also feel aggrieved for General Hou about what happened yesterday."
"The Ministry of War spent so much effort to create the bed crossbow, but in the end it became Zhao Chen's tactic to collect money."
"My father loves Zhao Chen too much, otherwise how could he put such a loyal minister like General Hou in such trouble."
Li Tai and Hou Junji sat down one after another, and Li Tai and Hou Junji comforted each other.
Put all the blame on Zhao Chen.
Hou Junji felt panicked every time he mentioned Zhao Chen's name.
He really hated Zhao Chen.
He still hasn't collected 300,000 yuan.
It will be Chen time in more than an hour, and if the money is not collected by then, Zhao Chen will definitely use the topic to make things difficult for himself.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. His Majesty was deceived by Zhao Chen."
"My Ministry of War spent a lot of money, manpower, and material resources to develop the bed crossbow. Although it has some flaws, we can slowly find solutions."
"Then what did Zhao Chen do?"
"I just thought of a way, but I dared to ask for 300,000 yuan. These worms in the country will definitely harm our country in the future." Hou Junji's voice was a little angry.
Whether Zhao Chen is a moth in the country or not has nothing to do with Hou Junji.
But Zhao Chen's hand actually reached into his pocket, Hou Junji.
He wanted to take out Hou Junji's money bag.
One payment is 300,000 yuan.
Isn't this equivalent to killing Hou Junji?
In addition, he had a grudge with Zhao Chen before, and Hou Junji was even more furious at this moment.
"I understand how General Hou feels. I will also advise my father. How can I treat a former hero like this?" Li Tai and Hou Junji said.
As for whether he would tell the emperor about this, that's really not certain.
Moreover, even if he, Li Tai, said it, the emperor would listen?
I am just saying this now to let Hou Junji know that I am on his side.
Hou Junji said nothing.
He knew Li Tai's little thoughts, but it didn't matter. After all, their purpose was the same.
Get rid of Zhao Chen and let Li Tai secure his position as the prince.
Hou Junji also knew that even if Li Tai spoke to the emperor, it would not have any effect.
As the son of the emperor, Zhao Chen was also the eldest son.
Li Tai spoke ill of Zhao Chen because he was afraid that his position as prince was too secure.
Hou Junji didn't know why the emperor didn't choose to announce Zhao Chen's identity, but it didn't matter now.
If the emperor reveals Zhao Chen's identity, Hou Junji will really have nothing to do.
"General Hou, there is still an hour and a half before Chen Shi. With the 30,000 guan from me, have you collected 300,000 guan?" After a moment of silence, Li Tai and Hou Junji asked.
…
Zhao Chen slept pretty well this time.
If only the concierge Lao Huang hadn't knocked on the door early in the morning and said that the guys in the academy had prepared the carts and bamboo baskets.
Then you can definitely sleep a little longer.
It's winter time in Chang'an, and the sky has just started to light up.
After dressing and washing up, Zhao Chen went out.
Cheng Chumo and the others had been waiting at the gate of Zhao Mansion for a long time.
Lao Huang is too fierce and no one will be allowed in without Zhao Chen's consent.
The one who broke in forcefully was pinned to the ground.
Basically all the students in the academy were pushed by him.
Now, everyone is very well-behaved.
"Zhao Da, you have to come out. If you don't come out, I will press this damn concierge to the ground and rub it, and then I will go in and call you." When Cheng Chumo saw Zhao Chen, he immediately started to howl.
Cheng Chumo knew that with Zhao Chen here, the damn concierge wouldn't dare deal with him.
This concierge is also strange. Except for Zhao Chen's words, no one else can say anything useful.
He's really loyal.
"Cheng Er, I still recommend that you don't come here alone in the future, otherwise you will be beaten to death easily!" Qin Huaiyu laughed at the side.
He raised the cart he was pushing and said to Zhao Chen: "Zhao Da, should we set off?"
"Yes, yes, sir, it's time to go out and push the money back. We can't let that Hou Junji cheat."
"Three hundred thousand guan, tsk tsk, I guess that guy's heart is bleeding."
"A drop of blood will do the trick. The old guy is very cruel. No matter what, I want to make him sad and hurt his lungs this time."
"Sir, it's time to set off. You don't need to do anything by then. We guarantee that the old guy who we punched one by one will not be able to get up."
"Yes, we have been practicing a lot recently, and our hands and feet skills are much better."
Everyone shouted with Zhao Chen.
He couldn't wait to go to Hou Junji's house to ask for the 300,000 yuan.
Zhao Chen knew that it was impossible to clean up Hou Junji today.
After all, Huang Zhi had already lent the money.
But the problem is not big, and it is not good to keep making noises. The most important thing is to find a way to deal a fatal blow to Hou Junji.
Today, I'd better get back the three hundred thousand yuan with peace of mind.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please be quiet. Today we are just going to ask for money. Peace is the most important thing in everything."
"Of course, if there is someone in the Duke's mansion who doesn't have a good eye, then you can help him have a good memory."
"Now, push your cart and start moving!" Zhao Chen and the others shouted.
There are about twenty people in the academy, each with a small cart, and two bamboo baskets placed on the small cart.
The group of people walked vigorously towards Hou Junji's residence.
The people who had just taken to the streets along the way looked surprised when they saw the scene in front of them.
He secretly wondered what the hell these students from Chang'an Academy were going to do.
…
Looking at the baskets of copper coins in the yard, Hou Junji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before, he was still worried about how to make up for the 20,000 yuan that was not collected in the end.
Zhao Chen would not let him bargain.
I guess I wish I couldn't raise the money myself.
Unexpectedly, the money was finally collected.
"Master Shangshu, these are the remaining 50,000 guan. They are all here. Would you like to order them to be counted?" The right minister of the Ministry of War said to Hou Junji with tired eyes.
"No need, let's all go!" Hou Junji waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave.
As long as the money arrives, as for the rest, Hou Junji doesn't want to know.
"Yes." Everyone was slightly stunned.
I thought Hou Jun would say some comforting words in the gathering, but I didn't expect this to happen.
After saying yes, he walked out of the house.
"Liu Shilang, we have been running around all night for these 50,000 yuan, and he didn't even say a word of comfort?" Some officials were dissatisfied.
"If we don't sacrifice ourselves, Hou Junji will be disgraced in front of Zhao Chen today. I never thought..."
"That's too much. Do you really think that I have no temper when you treat me like this?"
"Okay, don't talk anymore. This matter is over. Let's all go back and rest!" The right minister of the Ministry of War looked gloomy and waved to everyone.
"Hey, today His Highness the Crown Prince personally sent 30,000 copper coins to help the master's family. I didn't expect that the Master's family has such an important position in His Highness the Prince's heart."
"Who says otherwise? Those officials from the Ministry of War also sent 50,000 guan, so my family can save 30,000 guan."
"Hehe, we have been busy all night. Maybe the master will reward us with some money when he is happy."
"That's right. Those officials from the Ministry of War are fools. I don't know how they got the money."
"Never mind him, the master doesn't care, we don't care what they do."
A group of military officials were about to leave when they heard two servants of Hou Junji chatting in the side corridor.?
