Chapter 1261 Concubine Taizhen's Uneasiness!
Chapter 1261
Think about it, with Yang Zhao's character, he was appointed by the Holy Emperor as Tai Fuqing, in charge of the entire Tang Dynasty's wealth, so he is fully capable of getting in touch with this transaction. Just watching such a huge number of 700 million taels of gold fly away for nothing, how could it be possible not to be moved, and how could it be possible to bear it? !
You know, he only printed a total of one billion taels of gold dollar coupons.
"My dear brother, don't look at me like that. I know I'm disgraceful in doing this, but the 700 million taels of gold have already been eaten into my mouth, and then returned to others. The Confucianism is too dishonest... ..."
Yang Zhao was stared at by Wang Chong, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Haha, big brother, you are thinking too much! Not only did you not have the slightest fault in this matter, but you did it too right! There is no such thing as a fault, but it is a great achievement!"
Wang Chong laughed loudly,
Greed for money is greed for money, but sometimes, Yang Zhao can do the most correct thing instead. Yang Zhao exchanged 300 million taels of gold for gold dollar coupons, so the loss caused by Confucianism and Dashi peace talks to Datang is not so unacceptable.
At least Yang Zhao is stopping the loss for Datang in a special way.
"Yes, is it?"
This time, Yang Zhao himself was stunned. He didn't expect that what he thought was a huge mistake, but when it came to Wang Chong's place, it seemed to be a great achievement.
"Hehe, as long as you don't collect the gold you exchanged for the gold coupons into your own pocket, there is absolutely no problem with this matter."
Wang Chong said calmly.
"Where is this, how could I do such a thing!"
Yang Zhao immediately said loudly, a little unnaturally.
Wang Chong smiled and said nothing. With Yang Zhao's character, how could he not get some benefits from it, but as long as it is not too big and irrelevant, Wang Chong will not talk about it.
"By the way, brother, apart from the matter of the gold dollar coupons, I actually have a private matter to bother you this time, and see if you can help me out."
Yang Zhao took a sip of tea, and after putting it down, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something.
"Hehe, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it together, as long as I can help,
I will definitely help you to the end. "
Wang Chong smiled and said indifferently.
"Well, it's actually not helping, brother, you are smarter than me. This time my sister asked me to bring a few words, just hoping you can help her analyze it."
Yang Zhao said with a straight face.
"oh?"
This time Wang Chong was surprised. He immediately felt that what Yang Zhao was going to say was completely different from what he had imagined, and he immediately revealed a look of listening carefully.
"This matter is actually a long story. You also know that my sister is infatuated with the Holy Emperor, but for some reason, His Majesty has become weird during this period, completely different from before."
Yang Zhao frowned, and there was a look of memory in his eyes.
"Holy Emperor?!"
Wang Chong was taken aback and was greatly surprised. He never expected that the second thing Yang Zhao asked him for would be related to the Sage Emperor.
"...The Holy Emperor's love for my younger sister is well known in the world. In order to marry her into the palace, he almost did not hesitate to turn against the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. But recently, not only does His Majesty go to Yuzhen Palace less often, every time he goes, it is just After staying for a while, I didn't even sit on my buttocks. Sometimes, one moment, His Majesty even laughed at Yanyan with his empress, and the next moment, he suddenly left the table without the slightest sign or any reason. And now even my sister took the initiative Going to see His Majesty will also be rejected by the Holy Emperor with various reasons. ——This kind of thing has never happened before!"
When Yang Zhao said these words, he looked extremely disturbed. His glory and wealth, as well as his current status as Tai Fuqing, all come through his younger sister, Concubine Taizhen. If his sister loses favor, everything he owns now will be wiped out. This is what Yang Zhao is deeply afraid of. It's more than gold dollar coupons.
"Buzz!"
Yang Zhao himself didn't understand yet, but Wang Chong was taken aback and immediately woke up. At this moment, Wang Chong suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.
"...I'm a little worried now that my sister may fall out of favor with the Holy Emperor. Brother Yu, you are the one who has the most ideas among the people around Brother Yu. Last time, you wrote two poems with my sister, which made her smile. Help me Think about it carefully, what is going on, my sister and I have been thinking about it for a long time, but we still don’t understand. Recently, we have done something wrong, or something happened.
He did something else that made His Majesty unhappy. "
After Yang Zhao said, he became more and more uneasy. The gold coupons are only a temporary threat to him, but Concubine Taizhen's fall from favor is the most fundamental.
Wang Chong didn't speak, but his heart was full of waves. Yang Zhao and Concubine Taizhen were still in the dark, thinking that it was a matter of falling out of favor, but Wang Chong knew that things were completely different from what they had imagined.
"Brother! Apart from the appearance that the Holy Emperor came less often, and refused to see Concubine Taizhen, what else did the empress tell you?"
Wang Chong suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said in a deep voice.
"This... Your Majesty didn't say anything, but she just said that she obviously felt that His Majesty's love for him was not as good as before. In addition, once His Majesty came down, he would lock himself in the palace alone, and the time was getting longer and longer. Don't get close. By the way, once when the empress went to pay her respects, she heard the Holy Emperor talking to herself inside. The empress was going to listen carefully, but soon Gao Lishi came out and persuaded the empress to leave. Now except for Eunuch Gao, the Holy Emperor No one around you should come close—what's the matter, brother, do you feel something?"
Yang Zhao raised his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Wang Chong didn't speak, countless thoughts rushed through his mind in a flash.
From the first time he met the Holy Emperor, to the subsequent several morning courts, Wang Chong had been observing the state of the Holy Emperor in addition to looking for the mastermind behind the scenes.
After all, the Holy Emperor is the real pillar of stability for this empire.
But from the previous period of observation, although the Holy Emperor's aura seems slightly disordered, most of the time it is normal. At least several times in a row, the Holy Emperor lasted until the end, and there was nothing unusual about it. As for the things after the early court, Wang Chong couldn't see it, and never speculated. Wang Chong always thought that the situation of the Holy Emperor was not good, but at least it was much better than in his previous life.
However, after listening to Yang Zhao's words at this time, Wang Chong's heart was heavy, and he felt extremely bad.
If the Holy Emperor is in this situation every time he goes to court, it means that the real situation is much more serious than he expected.
"My dear brother, my dear brother..."
At this moment, a call came from beside his ears, waking Wang Chong up. Wang Chong blinked his eyes and came back to his senses, only to see Yang Zhao looking at him with his eyebrows frowned, his face full of doubts:
"My dear brother, are you alright?"
"Haha, nothing!"
Wang Chong smiled slightly and shook his head.
"My dear brother, you are smarter than me. Do you think His Majesty likes the new and dislikes the old, and is bored with my sister?"
Yang Zhao didn't care to continue asking.
"Don't worry, nothing like this will happen!"
Wang Chong smiled and comforted him.
"Your Majesty's affection for your empress surpasses everything else, and there will be no one in your majesty's heart that surpasses your empress."
"oh?"
Yang Zhao was skeptical. He shouldn't have asked Wang Chong about this kind of harem matter, but Wang Chong gave the impression that he was extremely smart. Yang Zhao unconsciously formed trust in him. What's more, Wang Chong is really It is in full swing.
"It should be true even if you say so, isn't it really something else?"
Yang Zhao left quickly. Behind him, Wang Chong watched his leaving back with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, everything was as usual. Wang Chong stood at the end of the train and looked up carefully. The Holy Emperor sat high upright, majestic and dignified. He looked the same as usual. However, Wang Chong felt in his heart. There is a strong unease.
Wow!
While Wang Chong was still thinking, a sudden change occurred. Above the main hall, while the courtiers were still arguing, the Holy Emperor's face changed slightly. He stood up suddenly, turned around and left without saying a word. It disappeared above the hall in just a moment:
"Come here for the morning, the rest will be left to the prime minister!"
At this time, Gao Lishi, Eunuch Gao suddenly stepped forward, and with a wave of floating dust, he said in a loud voice.
"Buzz!"
Wang Chong's body was shaken, and he raised his head suddenly, only to see a commotion in the hall, but the commotion lasted for a while, and everything returned to normal.
"Congratulations to the Holy Majesty!"
All the officials in the hall bowed down, but no one was surprised or surprised. Wang Chong's heart suddenly sank.
"You've seen it all!"
When the court meeting was over, King Song and Wang Chong walked down the long white jade dange together:
"In fact, it has happened several times before. At the beginning, everyone was flustered, but they gradually got used to it. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has been strong for so many years. Countless capable ministers and generals, through the prime minister, can also rule on court affairs. , coupled with the supervision of the censors, there won’t be too many mistakes. It’s just that it needs to be submitted to His Majesty for review later.”
"So the last Khorasan decision was also made by the prime minister?"
Wang Chong asked.
"Um!"
Song Wang sighed and nodded. The two walked side by side and left the palace,
As if it was some kind of signal, in the next few days, the Holy Emperor retired earlier and earlier. The first time, it was only half an hour early, and in the end, even the court meeting was only opened for a small cup of tea, and the Holy Emperor ordered Gao Lishi to retreat early.
All of this made Wang Chong feel even more uneasy.
...
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines into the study through the window.
In the study room, a young figure was sitting in front of the desk, flipping it non-stop. The oil lamp beside him had already been burned out, and around the young figure, there were thick piles of lonely books, and various books. ancient books.
"My lord, according to the fifth prince's order, we have brought all the relevant classics in the palace that we can get. We have entrusted all the empresses, concubines and princesses in the palace to borrow all the books that can be borrowed. , just see if there is any information you want in it!"
In front of Wang Chong was a middle-aged eunuch with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and an ugly face. On his waist was a badge of the fifth prince's line, which clearly showed his identity. He was the number one treacherous eunuch in the future, Li Jingzhong father-in-law.
