Chapter 1306 Asking for Food While Standing Up

"What Aiqing said is right."

"But you must also understand that the King of Han is an iron rooster whose feathers are plucked by geese. If you want him to pay, there will be no benefit and he will not be able to contribute." The emperor spoke and glanced at everyone.

All the officials remained silent again.

Zhao Chen had dared to collect tolls at Mingdemen before, and all officials, big and small, had their hair plucked by him.

But people still have confidence.

None of the officials dared to threaten Zhao Chen with the righteousness of their family and country.

Otherwise, the emperor would not get any benefits from this, but would also offend Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen is still angry because of Wu Jue's incident, so he may not necessarily deal with ministers like them.

"Why didn't you speak again?" the emperor asked.

The officials remained silent.

Wei Zheng stood up at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, Hedong is now asking for help, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is pending again."

"I wonder if the King of Han can be appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs and let him deal with the affairs of Hedong."

"The King of Han is resourceful and rich. He is the best candidate to serve as Minister of Household Affairs."

After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Changsun Wuji seemed to react.

Aren't these people directing and acting on their own?

Isn't this just a matter of letting him serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue after Zhao Chen comes later?

The emperor is so scheming!

In this way, if the emperor later appoints Zhao Chen as the Minister of Household Affairs, there will be no reason for the officials to stop him.

You can also block it.

Whoever blocks it will solve the problem in Hedong.

The emperor's move was really wonderful.

All the officials remained silent. They knew what words the emperor would use to respond to them if they objected.

"What Xiang Wei said makes sense, and I mean the same thing."

"Where's the King of Han? It's already dawn, is it time?" The emperor was very satisfied with Wei Zheng's cooperation with him.

At this moment, all the officials who met were silent, but they were talking about Zhao Chen.

"coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an official saw Zhao Chen's concubine.

Walked in at the door of Jidian.

Along with him, there was a wheelbarrow.

Good guy, that's all the preparations done.

The emperor's expression also changed.

Didn't Zhao Chen agree to his conditions, so why did he use a wheelbarrow to push the bill to him?

"Auxiliary machine, what's going on?" The emperor lowered his voice and asked Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji shook his head, how could he know what Zhao Chen was going to do!

"Zhao Chen has met your Majesty." Zhao Chen stood in the center of the hall and held hands with the emperor.

The emperor's face twitched, he didn't understand what Zhao Chen wanted to do.

It was agreed that Zhao Chen would not charge him any money and would give him the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Why is this...

"Hey, what is this?" Although he knew exactly what was piled in the wheelbarrow, the emperor still had to ask.

"Oh, this is the list of money your Majesty owes you in recent years."

"Your Majesty, you see, this is the first month of road construction in Tubo, which consumes 300,000 yuan."

"This is for the second month, 500,000 yuan."

"And this..."

"Stop, stop, stop, what do you want to say?" The emperor interrupted Zhao Chen and continued.

After all these expenses were exposed, he couldn't pay Zhao Chen back?

After interrupting Zhao Chen, the emperor glared at Changsun Wuji again.

Changsun Wuji also had a look of astonishment on his face. That was not what Zhao Chen told him at that time.

Why did you change your mind again today?

"Your Majesty, it's time to pay back the money." Zhao Chen's words made the emperor, who was almost out of breath, chop Changsun Wuji with a knife.

Secretly scolding Changsun Wuji, is this the so-called thing you agreed with Zhao Chen?

All the officials also changed their expressions.

This is the second time Zhao Chen has chased him to the Tai Chi Palace.

The first time it was because of the road construction by the merchants. This time, well, from what Zhao Chen said, it seemed that it was still because of the road construction.

"I have no money!" The emperor was like a frustrated ball at the moment, sitting on the throne and saying expressionlessly.

The emperor understands that today, it’s better not to think about losing face!

It's better to lie down directly, so that Zhao Chen can't cut himself!

"Your Majesty, if you owe money, you don't have to pay back the money, right?"

"Then if everyone does this, who in the world will still care about credibility?"

"Am I right, everyone?" After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he asked the officials of Tai Chi Hall again.

How could Baiguan dare to answer Zhao Chen's words?

If you say that the emperor should pay back the money, then you are not looking for trouble with the emperor.

He said that the emperor should not pay back the money, and the people of the world knew that he should not poke their spines.

"Changsun Wuji, after you retire from the court, I have to kill you!" The emperor got down from the throne, walked to Changsun Wuji, and whispered.

Changsun Wuji's face turned dark. He didn't know what was wrong with Zhao Chen's brain.

Isn't this killing yourself?

Eh, something seems wrong.

Zhao Chen seemed to have told himself that day that he would have more conflicts with his eldest grandson Wuji in front of the emperor.

Could it be...

Changsun Wuji thought to himself.

"Little bastard, what do you want to do?" The emperor came to Zhao Chen again and asked in a deep voice.

"Should I ask you to marry Wu Jue to King Gaochang?" Zhao Chen replied, but he almost fainted from the emperor's anger.

Emotional Zhao Chen made such a big commotion, it was really because of Wu Jue's incident!

"You!" The emperor resisted the urge to punch Zhao Chen in the face.

"The Ministry of Revenue only has less than 500,000 guan of silver. If you want to get back the money owed to you by the court."

"I can make you the Minister of Household Affairs, and you can find a way to earn the money back..."

"Your Majesty's plan is very good."

>

"Why don't I ask for the money directly from His Majesty, instead of having to find a solution on my own?"

"Minister of the Ministry of Finance, I don't care about you?" Zhao Chen said, but his words could make the emperor's head smoke with anger.

But the emperor could not refute Zhao Chen.

After all, the matter of letting Zhao Chen serve as the Minister of Household Affairs was just discussed by a few of them, and Zhao Chen never mentioned it.

But Changsun Wuji was feeling overwhelmed at the moment.

He knew that Zhao Chen wanted to be the Minister of Household Affairs.

Originally, if you wanted to be the Minister of Household Affairs, you had to ask the emperor for permission.

The result was good for Zhao Chen.

I asked for food while standing.

The emperor still has to beg him!

Hey, awesome!

Changsun Wuji has never admired a person as much as he does now!

"Little bastard, Wu Jue's matter can no longer be undone. If you agree to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs, I will give you some other benefits. Let's just forget about it. How about that?" The emperor was also forced into a corner.

Fortunately, he was in the Tai Chi Palace, otherwise Zhao Chen would have been eaten alive by the emperor.

"Benefits, tell me, what are the benefits?" Zhao Chen's voice was loud, not like the emperor's whisper just now.

The corners of Baiguan's mouth twitched.

By asking for benefits from the emperor openly and openly, Zhao Chen obviously took all the courage of a leopard in the past and present.

The emperor was also so angry that his head was dizzy and his heart was trembling.

The fists hidden in his sleeves hit his waist one after another.

Mudd!

I have really committed eight lifetimes of sin!

The emperor howled inwardly.

"What benefits do you want, write it down on this piece of paper and have someone bring it to me later."

"The king of Han, Zhao Chen, is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Quit the court!" The emperor slapped a piece of paper on Zhao Chen's chest. After saying this, he ran away angrily regardless of the officials' surprise.
