Chapter 539 Zhao Cheng: My brother-in-law is short of money again!
night.
Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhao Huan and Mu Zhaojun were sitting at the main seats. Except for Zhao Yang, all the Zhao Cheng brothers had sad faces. Especially Zhao Zhan, who looked a little angry.
"What Princess Qingling? I don't want to marry her, and I don't want to go to Changsui!"
Zhao Cheng said: "You have been nagging for a long time. Please calm down when things happen."
"Brother, although I am young, I am not stupid!" Zhao Zhan said excitedly: "The emperor asked me to go to Changsui City as a hostage in granting the marriage this time!"
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Huan looked at each other and said, "If you can understand this, you have indeed grown up."
Zhao Zhan said: "Even if I don't serve as a hostage, I can't marry Princess Qingling. I have agreed with Yucen for three lifetimes, how can I let her down? My father and eldest brother have taught me since I was a child that men from the Zhao family must never be silent.
letter!"
Mu Zhaojun said: "Zhan'er, your elder brother wants you to calm down, not just to ignore you. Mom is not willing to let you go to Changsui, but we have to find a way."
Zhao Huan touched his long hair, looked at Zhao Cheng, and asked: "Boss, what do you think about this?"
"My brother-in-law is short of money again!" Zhao Cheng sighed and said, "The more you feed me, the bigger your appetite becomes!"
Zhao Huan said: "You mean...this matter can be solved with money?"
Zhao Cheng said: "Otherwise, what else can we do? If we don't send the fourth child, will the imperial court send troops to our Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Lian Zhongyi stroked his beard and said: "At this juncture, the imperial court will not take action against the Right Prime Minister's Office. The military generals from the Left Party are still holding back their anger. If the Right Prime Minister's Office is angered again, the Right Prime Minister will raise his arms and those generals from the Left Party will
If you can start an uprising on the grounds that the right prime minister is the teacher of the left prime minister and supports the right prime minister to rescue the students, then the Dajing military will be in chaos."
Zhao Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, the generals of the left party did not move, mainly because the person who brought down Wen Tai was Wen Hu, and there was no response from Wang Ren, so they had no one to take the lead. If dad steps forward at this time, they will be happy."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Zhao Zhan interjected: "The emperor not only wants me to be a hostage, but also wants Yucen to go as well. In my opinion, we should unite with General Wang and rebel..."
Zhao Yan immediately covered Zhao Zhan's mouth.
"Third brother, third... uh uh!"
Zhao Huan glared at Zhao Zhan and shouted: "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!"
Zhao Yandao: "Dad, the fourth child is also impatient and quick-talking. Don't blame him."
"Fourth brother, listen to dad and the others' discussion, don't talk too much." After saying that, Zhao Yan whispered to his younger brother again, and then let go of his hand.
Zhao Cheng also glared at Zhao Zhan, and then continued: "The emperor now wants to enjoy himself and needs money, and this money is also a step forward for him."
Zhao Huan asked: "How much do you plan to give?"
"This is also a headache for me." Zhao Cheng touched his head and said, "If you give him less, he will feel uncomfortable, and he may continue to find excuses to ask for it. If you give him too much, he will ask for more next time. It's a bottomless pit!
"
Zhao Cheng looked at Lian Zhongyi and asked for help: "Sir, please think of a way."
Lian Zhongyi said: "When the emperor agreed to you to expand the scale of business and even open trade with the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he probably had planned this for a long time. He is not afraid of you making more. The more you make, the more he wants, which means you are
Making money for him."
Zhao Cheng said: "I am on guard against this. In terms of accounts, he can only get a small amount, but as long as I continue the business, he will never imagine the wealth I can accumulate."
"Then give the less!" Lian Zhongyi suggested.
Zhao Cheng asked: "Why?"
Lian Zhongyi said: "You just said that if you give me less, he may continue to find excuses to ask for it, but this back and forth will take time, right? Anyway, we are not afraid of delay, as long as we don't send A Zhan there.
.Now that the government situation is changing frequently, if this matter is delayed, it may be prevaricated."
Zhao Cheng snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Just Mr. Yi!"
Zhao Huan stood up and walked behind the door. After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "I'll give you another number. Maybe the emperor won't ask you for it this time."
Zhao Cheng asked: "How do you want to add more money?"
Zhao Huan said: "I will personally write a letter to resign as right minister. You can send the letter and the money together."
"Dad!" Zhao Zhan exclaimed in shock, "Isn't this price too high? If you trade your phase for me, I will feel guilty."
"Guilty ass!" Zhao Huan laughed and scolded: "My position is just for decoration, but I voluntarily resign from the position at this time to express my attitude to the emperor at a critical moment."
"I agree." Zhao Cheng also stood up and said: "The emperor has dismissed the left prime minister and divided the power of the prime minister to the central office. It is not appropriate to have a right prime minister outside the court. If dad doesn't take the initiative to mention this matter, the court will also
Let’s think about ways to do this. Instead of giving them the opportunity to do something dirty, we might as well come up with it ourselves.”
Lian Zhongyi nodded and said: "The title of right minister is of no use to us, but it is a thorn in the eyes of the emperor and those at the Central Committee. If we take the initiative to pull it out, they can breathe a sigh of relief and ease their relationship with us."
relation."
Zhao Huan looked at Mu Zhaojun and said, "Madam, what do you think?"
Mu Zhaojun said: "As long as I can keep Zhan'er, I don't have any objection to whatever you do. Just..."
Mu Zhaojun sighed and continued: "The marriage between Zhan'er and Yucen cannot be mentioned anymore for the time being."
"Yeah." Zhao Huan nodded and said, "We can't mention it anymore. The central platform has overthrown Wen Tai and is now targeting us. Going to marry Wang Ren at this time will give them an excuse to deal with me."
Zhao Huan looked back at Zhao Zhan and asked, "Fourth brother, can you bear it?"
Zhao Cheng interjected: "Why can't he help it? He is still a child!"
Zhao Zhan said: "I can wait!"
Zhao Huan walked towards the door and said: "Then the matter is settled. Boss, please accompany me for a walk."
The night breeze blows gently.
Father and son Zhao Huan and Zhao Cheng were walking along the path in the courtyard. The full moon above their heads illuminated the path under their feet.
"How is this girl Yanjiao doing lately?" Zhao Huan asked suddenly with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Cheng said: "The interval between poisonous attacks is longer than before. I am usually in a good mood and have never been in trouble."
Zhao Huan asked: "How many days?"
Zhao Cheng said: "Old man, you don't need to ask such details about this kind of thing, right?"
"What are you thinking about? I'm asking about the time when the poison will take effect."
"Is there a difference?"
Zhao Huan coughed and said: "During this period, Deng Fugui and I have corresponded several times. Both of them have made it very clear that they are willing to entrust Yanjiao to our family."
Zhao Cheng said: "Mr. Minghua is working hard to develop a detoxification method. Yanjiao may not always be like this."
Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Cheng and asked, "Even if the poison in Yan Jiao's body is cured, isn't she still your woman?"
"this……"
"Take it."
Zhao Huan raised his head and glanced at Yue'er, sighing: "I took advantage of my resignation and the court's opportunity to relax their vigilance towards me to do this. Not only for her, but also for our Zhao family. Deng Fugui is gone.
You have to make a choice, and you have to reassure him. He needs us now, and we will need him in the future."
Zhao Cheng frowned suddenly, realizing the deep meaning of his father's words.
