Chapter 557 When the storm comes, you won't greet us in advance
After the emperor fell asleep, Wen Hu winked at Wei You, and the two of them walked out.
"Master Wei, what kind of elixir did your Majesty take?"
Wei You looked around, leaned into Wen Hu's ear and said: "This is the elixir that King Xin asked an expert to refine. There are two types of elixirs. One can strengthen your Majesty's body and make you more energetic, and the other can make your Majesty more energetic."
Fall asleep instantly. The elixir refined by this expert is amazing, it is truly a miracle drug."
Wen Hu raised his head slightly, his eyes flashing brightly, and he understood why Yuan Xiu was in such a mental state.
Relying on elixirs to refresh yourself and fall asleep may lead to drug dependence over time.
As long as you don't take medicine, you will neither have energy nor fall asleep, and your nerves will gradually decline.
"His Royal Highness King Xin, you are really His Majesty's good brother..." Wen Hu sneered in his heart, but did not say anything.
Wei Youneng helped King Xin give the emperor medicine, and he obviously had an ambiguous relationship with King Xin.
Wen Hu walked out of the palace and saw Xu Shouli and others still sitting there, blocked by the officials and guards at the foot of the steps.
Wen Hu came out from behind Dian Chen and bowed to Xu Shouli.
"Qingdong Hou, are you still waiting?"
Xu Shouli stood up and returned the greeting to Wen Hu, and asked: "Marquis of Shaxian County, is your Majesty awake?"
Wen Hu said: "When I entered, His Majesty woke up for a while, but now he fell asleep again."
Xu Shouli asked: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is not in good condition?"
Wen Hu waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not true."
As he said that, Wen Hu glanced at the ministers behind Xu Shouli, leaned close to Xu Shouli and said softly: "Your Majesty is in good spirits at night and sleeps during the day. I hope Qingdong Hou will understand."
Xu Shouli thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand."
Wen Hu said: "Then let's not disturb His Majesty's rest."
Xu Shouli stopped answering, turned around and said, "Everyone, let's go."
He Yin became anxious and said: "Master Hou, I haven't seen the emperor yet..."
Governor Xu Shouli interrupted He Yin and said, "Let's go."
Seeing this, He Yin knew that Xu Shouli had an idea in his mind, so he said no more and left angrily.
The ministers bowed to Wen Hu one after another and followed He Yin away.
After the ministers walked out of the Yuxin Palace, He Yin finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Master Marquis, what is the situation at your Majesty's place?"
Xu Shouli stopped, glanced at the ministers, and said, "I don't know what your Majesty is doing in the palace. I only know that it will be harder for us to see your Majesty in the future than to reach heaven."
He Yin asked: "Then it disappeared?"
Xu Shouli shook his head and said: "The situation is very clear now. Internally, Wen Hu and Wei You control the emperor. Externally, Yuan Li and Chen Changyun control the court. If we act excessively, it may lead to death for you.
It’s a disaster, so we can only think about it in the long term.”
Li Shu frowned and interjected: "Master Hou, has the situation in the court become this serious?"
Xu Shouli looked at the sky. The dark clouds had only dispersed slightly, but not completely.
He said: "When a storm comes, they won't give us a greeting in advance."
Xinwangfu.
After receiving the notification, Yuan Li was already waiting in the meeting hall, with Gong Xue standing behind him.
After a while, the cultural guard strode over and bowed deeply to Yuan Li.
Yuan Li smiled and said: "This is the king's private residence, brother, there is no need to be polite."
Wen Hu was startled, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness must not call me that, I can't bear it!"
Yuan Li slowly helped Wen Hu up and said: "The late emperor also called Dongfang Jun this way in private. Work is work, and friendship is friendship. If I say you can bear it, you can bear it."
Wen Hu thought about Yuan Li's words and realized that this comparison was not quite in line with the rules.
It is true that the late emperor called Dongfang Jun his brother in private, but the late emperor was the emperor.
Believe in the king, it’s just the king.
Now Yuan Li uses these words to explain...
Wen Hu realized that Yuan Li's ambitions were getting bigger and bigger.
Especially thinking of the elixir, Wen Hu sneered in his heart: "The more anxious you are, the better. God helps me..."
Wen Hu cupped his fists and said, "Thanks to His Highness's respect, I won't be pretentious."
"Is this the right thing to do?" Yuan Li patted Wen Hu on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Brother, why did you come to see me at my house?"
Wen Hu said: "I have just been to His Majesty's palace."
Yuan Li immediately suppressed his smile and took Wen Hu to the door. As he walked, he asked, "How is your brother's health?"
Wen Hu said: "To be honest, His Majesty's body is not as good as before. Although he is resting in the palace, he seems more tired than before."
"snort!"
Yuan Li snorted coldly and said: "It's all Wei You's fault. I heard that he has found a group of male favorites for the emperor's brother. Everyone is interested in novelty, and the emperor's brother is no exception. How can he bear this body?
"
Wen Hu nodded and said: "I talked with Mr. Wei and asked him to let His Majesty take care of the dragon body."
"You are interested."
Yuan Li stopped in front of a rockery, casually crushed an insect clinging to the mountain wall, and said, "Why are you looking for Brother Huang?"
Wen Hu asked back: "Your Highness, you still remember what I told you about my concerns about Zhao Cheng, right?"
"Remember."
"Now his business has been completely spread out in Jingbei County, and supermarkets and money shops have been built in eastern Dajing. Now he is really different from what he used to be."
Wen Hu said seriously: "After the destruction of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, the three forces hanging outside the court, General Wang was suppressing the riots, the Champion King never left Yunjing, and only the Right Prime Minister's Mansion grew wildly. I went to remind your majesty,
Zhao Cheng has to be guarded against!"
Yuan Li thought for a while and said: "Compared with General Wang and Champion King, Zhao Cheng has no military power."
"He's rich!"
Wen Hu said excitedly: "When he becomes as rich as his country, what can he not buy with money?"
Yuan Li looked serious and asked, "What did the emperor say?"
Wen Hu said: "In order to test Zhao Cheng, your majesty increased the share ratio and asked Zhao Cheng to send him thirty million taels of silver next time."
"Thirty million taels??" Yuan Li was shocked and murmured: "Brother Huang has such a big appetite..."
"But the emperor brother is right to do this. Under heavy pressure, let's see if Zhao Cheng shows his true colors." Yuan Li added.
"This is not enough." Wen Hu shook his head.
Yuan Li asked: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Wen Hu said: "You are underestimating Zhao Cheng. Thirty million taels sounds like a lot, but to him, as long as he can stabilize His Majesty, he can still afford it. Your Majesty thought he could use money to test
Zhao Cheng is actually wrong. Because Zhao Chengyuan keeps getting money."
"Money is not that important to Zhao Cheng, what is important is the way to make money!"
"That's why I came to see His Highness. I hope that Your Highness can put the overall situation of the imperial court first, share your Majesty's worries, and check for Dajing's leaks and make up for them!"
Yuan Lidao: "How to check for leaks and fill them up?"
Wen Hu said: "In addition to asking Zhao Cheng for money, we also have to ask him for business!"
