Chapter 888: Please Explain to Liu Shangshu

"Wait a moment!"

When he heard Zhao Chen shouting for Cheng Chumo and the others to smash it, Liu Zhenghui subconsciously stopped him loudly.

Cheng Chumo and others seemed to have not heard anything, and the stone ax was already raised above their heads.

This ax is obviously intended to use force.

As long as it hits, the Eight Ox Crossbow will definitely crack or even break.

"Okay, I agreed, give me the money!" Liu Zhenghui shouted loudly.

The ax did not hit.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. .??.

The look he looked at Zhao Chen was filled with fear.

This is not a good person.

Forcing a stubborn old man like Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Household Affairs, to admit his defeat.

Lao Litou's hand holding the hand warmer relaxed slightly.

He was really worried just now. If Liu Zhenghui refused to let go, Zhao Chen would definitely not compromise.

The Eight Ox Crossbow that he wanted to use to arm the Tang Dynasty army really became a dream.

Fortunately, someone finally gave in.

While the emperor was relaxing, he was still very happy.

Zhao Chen can get 700,000 guan, so I want him to get 300,000 guan. Isn’t it an exaggeration?

Thinking that he would soon have a huge sum of 300,000 yuan in hand, Old Li Tou felt a little uneasy.

"Since Liu Shangshu has agreed, please send the money to my house as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, you don't have to send them all, just 400,000 yuan."

"Send the remaining 300,000 yuan to His Majesty!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The last sentence shocked the emperor.

What does Zhao Chen want to do?

He is trying to push himself towards a dead end.

If Liu Zhenghui knew that he and Zhao Chen had deceived him, Liu Zhenghui would definitely fight against him.

Afraid of being here, I rushed to clean myself up!

What a little brat, yesterday I just beat him up because of a misunderstanding, and now he's doing this to me.

Old Li's heart was in his throat.

Even his breathing became a little rapid, for fear that Zhao Chen would expose himself.

exposed.

"What does Duke Zhao mean? Why do you want to send 300,000 yuan to His Majesty?" Liu Zhenghui looked at the emperor suspiciously and asked Zhao Chen again.

Zhao Chen was so decisive just now that he let people smash the eight-oxen crossbow.

Now that he promised to pay 700,000 guan, why did he send 300,000 guan to the emperor?

This is unreasonable!

"Your Majesty, why don't you explain to Liu Shangshu why these three hundred thousand coins are sent to you?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a smile and said.

Old Li Tou now wants to rush down and kill Zhao Chen, the bastard.

Let him explain?

How does he explain it?

Tell Liu Zhenghui that he and Zhao Chen defrauded money, and then divided the account between four and six?

Not to mention Liu Zhenghui, other officials may also have to fight to the death with him as the emperor.

Lao Li Tou felt that he had fallen into Zhao Chen's trap.

From now on, if Zhao Chen doesn't let Zhao Chen take advantage of him.

Damn it, I’ve been obsessed with money lately!

The emperor felt a little regretful.

But now Liu Zhenghui is staring at him, and all the officials are waiting for an explanation from him.

But how should I explain myself?

"I asked Zhao Chen to hand over part of the money to me for safekeeping. This boy spends money like water. I am worried that sooner or later he will spend all the money and eventually starve to death on the street." Queen Changsun's voice suddenly sounded. .

Everyone bowed to Queen Changsun.

Queen Changsun nodded, walked straight to Zhao Chen, and stepped on Zhao Chen's shoe.

If her hands weren't wrapped in gloves, she would have pulled Zhao Chen's ears hard.

"It hurts - it hurts -" Zhao Chen shouted softly.

"Little bastard, you don't care about any occasion. If Your Majesty doesn't come down to the stage, why won't Your Majesty deal with you?" Empress Changsun moved her feet and scolded.

"Who asked him to

He beats me every day, why can't I retaliate against him? "Zhao Chen moved his feet and muttered.

"You dare to quibble, you want to fight me?" Queen Changsun asked angrily.

"I don't dare anymore!" Zhao Chen gave in quickly.

A good man does not suffer immediate losses.

Queen Changsun is not Lao Litou, Zhao Chen does not dare to confront her.

If Lao Litou stepped on his feet like this, it would be Zhao Chen's mercy not to break his legs.

"Your Highness, the relationship between the empress and Zhao Chen seems to be better than we imagined." Du He said to Li Tai at the side.

Li Tai said nothing.

Although the queen mother said she treated her very well, she had never been so close to her.

Li Tai felt a little jealous.

But in the end, he didn't say a word.

All the officials had long known that Queen Changsun treated Zhao Chen like her own heir.

But what I saw today, although it was unexpected, seemed to be reasonable.

"Ahem, I don't know about this either. It turns out that the queen told Zhao Chen." The emperor coughed to hide his inner panic.

The emperor was almost scared to death by Zhao Chen.

If his intentions were exposed, today's matter would not be so easy to resolve.

Even now, the old guy Liu Zhenghui still looks suspicious.

Obviously he didn't really believe Queen Changsun's explanation.

It's just that there is no evidence.

"Even so, it makes sense. I just thought that Your Majesty and Duke Zhao were collaborating to defraud money, and Duke Zhao was sharing the money with Your Majesty!" Liu Zhenghui said quietly.

The emperor's heart skipped a beat.

Secretly, the old guy is indeed well-informed and can guess all this.

But on his face, he pretended to be very angry and shouted, "As the emperor, how could I do such an unethical thing?"

"Liu Shangshu, don't think that because you have merit, you can slander me at will."

"I dare not, your Majesty, forgive me!" Liu Zhenghui said with his hands in hand.

…

> Things seem to have been resolved perfectly.

Liu Zhenghui looked unwilling and asked people to push away the eight-niu crossbow that was almost smashed, and also asked Zhao Chen to send the drawings over as soon as possible.

Otherwise, no money will be given!

The officials dispersed one after another. It was freezing cold, but no one wanted to stay here.

There were footprints left in the snow.

Everyone left, and the emperor went straight to Zhao Chen.

How could Zhao Chen let Old Li Tou catch him? A big snowball went straight to Old Li Tou's head.

The snowball hit Lao Litou right on the forehead, and he was stunned immediately.

Being hit by a snowball hurts even if it hurts, and it doesn't hurt even if it doesn't hurt.

But, he was a majestic emperor who originally wanted to settle accounts with Zhao Chen, but he actually dared to hit himself with a snowball.

What is intolerable is unbearable.

At that time, Lao Li Tou was like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

such a pity.

He threw mud all over his face.

At some point, the snow behind Zhao Chen turned into mud under his feet.

This time it happened to cover Lao Li's head and face.

The emperor felt very embarrassed.

He lay on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Fortunately, there are only three of them here, otherwise how could Li Shimin be in charge of such a huge country in the future.

"Hey, are you angry?"

"Not that much."

"Besides, it was you who beat me first yesterday, and you wanted to beat me just now. I have to resist, right?"

"Even if you are the emperor, we still have to be reasonable, right?"

"We are reasonable people. If you don't embarrass me, I won't embarrass you!" Zhao Chen chattered on at the side.

After hearing this, Lao Li became very angry.

Without raising his head, he waved to Zhao Chen.

"What?" Zhao Chen frowned.

"Come here, I can't get up!" came the emperor's voice.

"Can't you get up?" Zhao Chen glanced at Old Li Tou suspiciously and walked slowly towards him.
