Chapter 843 Why Was He Promoted?

Wei Zheng would not completely trust the emperor's words.

Emperor, it is normal for him to have an idea at this moment.

It's not like we were talking about this in public. If the emperor doesn't admit it in the future, Wei Zheng can't tear him apart or pull him away!

Moreover, the emperor would only think of letting Li Tai and Zhao Chen fight unless he was crazy.

Are you afraid that what happened at Xuanwu Sect wasn't tragic enough?

Still thinking about doing it again?

But the emperor said this sincerely.

At least the moment these words were spoken, they were sincere.

And Wei Zheng mentioned what happened back then in one breath, which made the emperor's expression completely cold.

The emperor did not speak, but looked at Wei Zheng indifferently.

I gave Wei Zheng a promotion with good intentions, but he ended up mentioning what happened back then to me?

Are you complaining about the hidden prince Li Jiancheng?

"Get out!" Li Shimin suddenly waved and shouted at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned and did not dare to say anything.

He turned around and left Ganquan Hall.

The emperor was very angry and somewhat doubted whether his decision today was not appropriate.

…

Zhao Chen was dragged to Wei Zheng's house by Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

Before Wei Zheng came back, Mrs. Pei invited several people to sit in the hall and drink tea.

Although she is a female, Pei is not inferior to men.

In addition, the social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and there was no saying that women were afraid to come out to meet people.

"How come Zhao Chen has time to come and sit at his house today? The old man at home went to court in the morning and hasn't come back yet. He will probably have to wait for a long time!" explained Pei and Zhao Chen.

She was very grateful to Zhao Chen.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen, their family would still be vegetarian every day.

Unlike now, selling perfume makes them a lot of money, and they can go to a restaurant for a party every other day.

Much better than the days before.

Moreover, Mrs. Pei also found that since she met Zhao Chen, her old man obviously talked more.

through

He often talks to himself about some things about Zhao Chen.

Although sometimes he wanted to strangle Zhao Chen to death.

But the smile on this face is more ordinary than before.

"Ah, it's okay, we are here to let Old Wei head treat us to dinner today." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Although he knew that given how stingy Wei Zheng was, he probably wouldn't treat him to this meal.

But after getting promoted, you should always celebrate.

After all, the relationship with Lao Wei Tou is quite close.

"A treat for dinner?" Mrs. Pei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, Zhao Chen, if you want to eat from that restaurant, aunt will order it for you."

If someone else had asked her to treat her, Pei would have hesitated again and again.

Ask again why and consider whether it’s worth it.

If it's a worthy treat, you should also consider which restaurant with a suitable price range is more suitable.

But the person in front of her was Zhao Chen, and Pei agreed without even thinking about it.

"Did you see that? It must be Zhao Chen who asked her to treat her to dinner. If it were us, we would probably come out with brooms." Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong muttered.

"What are you talking about, you guys!" Mrs. Pei saw Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong whispering and knew that these two guys definitely didn't have anything good to say about her.

"No...it's nothing. Madam-in-law, don't you want to know why we are here today and why Zhao Chen wants you to treat us to dinner?" Cheng Yaojin's expression changed slightly, but he did not dare to offend Mrs. Pei.

Otherwise, if I am chased out of the house by a lady, I will be laughed at by the people of Chang'an City tomorrow.

"What is the relationship between Zhao Chen and my old man?"

"If he wants to eat, I, as the aunt, will naturally treat him. As for you..."

"Hey, no, we are here to tell you the good news today." Qin Qiong saw Pei's eyes scanning the surroundings and knew that she was looking for a handy weapon, which she would definitely use to chase them later.

This must be stopped immediately

Live her.

"Good news, what good news?" Mrs. Pei didn't believe Qin Qiong's words. They were foxes, but each one was better than the other.

He frowned unavoidably and continued to look for something he could take advantage of, preparing to be driven out by Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong.

"Brother Xuancheng has been promoted, and now he is the minister Zuopushe." Qin Qiong's words made Pei stunned.

She wondered if she had heard wrongly.

Wei Zheng, her husband-in-law, was promoted?

Or Shangshu Zuopushe?

How can this be?

Shangshu Zuopushe had greater power than the six ministers and was closer to the emperor.

This is very wrong.

Mr. Pei remembers that Wei Zheng was released from the prison in Dali Temple.

And she also knew that Wei Zheng had exposed all the scandals about Li Chengqian in the Taiji Hall.

Bringing shame to the entire royal family.

The emperor was so angry that he almost died.

Only then was he imprisoned by the emperor.

If Zhao Chen hadn't been there to help attract a lot of firepower to Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng would have been rushed home by the emperor at that time.

Besides, Wei Zheng said so himself after returning from Tianlao.

He and Zhao Chen ate and drank every day in the prison, spending a lot of money on the emperor's behalf.

The emperor was originally poor, with not even a drop of mouse droppings in his private treasury.

It cost the emperor a lot of money, but two people still went to jail.

It would have been better if the emperor had not pushed Wei Zheng into the river and drowned him. Why was he promoted?

This is very unreasonable.

"Promoted...promoted?"

"According to the day-to-day relationship between my husband and your majesty, shouldn't your majesty deal with my husband-in-law?"

"How come..." Ms. Pei still found it difficult to accept.

"What, I've been promoted, aren't you happy?" Wei Zheng walked in from the outside at some point and was slightly startled when he saw Zhao Chen here.

"How did you come?"

Wei Zheng's eyes fell on Zhao Chen.

If this guy has nothing serious, he never comes to his house.

today……

You're not here for a meal, are you?

Wei Zheng thought to himself.

"Duke Lu Guo said that you have been promoted to Shangshu Zuopushe?" Pei and Wei Zheng asked.

"Ah, yes, I'm surprised too."

"Before I went to court, I was worried that His Majesty would ask me to pay for meals in the prison. I didn't expect..."

"You also said that His Majesty is merciful, otherwise..."

"Hey, what are you doing here, and you kid, you don't usually come to my place."

"You're here today, aren't you here to cheat on food and drinks?" Wei Zheng interrupted Pei's words and looked at Zhao Chen and others.

"Why are you talking? If it weren't for Zhao Chen, you wouldn't be promoted now. I'm afraid you'd be on your way back home." Pei and Wei Zheng scolded.

She didn't like Wei Zheng being mean to Zhao Chen in front of her.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen, their Wei family would have been confiscated by the emperor, and they still dreamed of being promoted.

"Women are really long-winded..."

"What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts!"

In front of Zhao Chen and others, Pei grabbed Wei Zheng's ear and walked towards the backyard.

A few people were left at a loss.

"Zhao Chen, don't be like Brother Xuancheng and be bullied by a woman in the future."

"We men should have a manly attitude."

"What do you think?" Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Chen didn't say anything. He didn't really believe Cheng Yaojin's words anyway.

After all, when he went to Lu Guogong's mansion several times before, he saw Cheng Yaojin being chased by his wife all over the yard with a stick.

You can't be bullied by a woman like this. It's not Cheng Yaojin's turn to say this.

Moreover, Pei, who had just grabbed Wei Zheng's ear, appeared behind Cheng Yaojin again at some point.

Eyes full of anger.
