The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Although he was extremely reluctant, Qu Wentai did not dare to really fall out with Wu Jue.

After all, he didn't dare to really test how much Zhao Chen cared about Wu Jue.

He could only laugh and said: Queen, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to ask the queen to come down and have a rest.

But since the queen doesn't want to, let's have a good rest in the carriage.

Tomorrow, we'll set off again!

After saying that, Qu Wentai still stood there and waited for a while.

He thought Wu Jue would respond to him, but he didn't.

Qu Wentai looked extremely gloomy and left with clenched fists.

Lao Huang sat in the coachman's seat and watched the scene just now with an expressionless expression.

Xiao Wu, I seem to suddenly understand why Zhao Chen has been reluctant to let you go to the palace! Old Huang suddenly said to the carriage behind him.

Why? In the carriage, Wu Jue seemed to be interested.

Your trick of pretending to be powerful is very good.

If you go to the palace, I'm afraid the palace will be restless. Old Huang said with a smile.

As long as I have other methods, it won't be like this. Wu Jue's voice was a little low.

The smile on Lao Huang's face froze, and he understood what Wu Jue meant.

If someone can protect her, she won't act like a fox or a tiger.

Xiao Wu, before we set off, Mr. Zhao told me to let me protect you for two years. Within two years, he will go to Gaochang to take you home. Lao Huang said slowly.

He felt that he needed to tell Wu Jue about this.

Gaochang is not Chang'an. Except for him, Lao Huang, no one around Wu Jue can be trusted.

Lao Huang had to give Wu Jue the confidence to persevere.

Wu Jue in the carriage didn't speak, and Lao Huang didn't say anything more, but vaguely, Lao Huang heard slight sobs coming from the carriage.

…

Changsun Wuji came to Chang'an Military Academy.

He didn't expect that he would become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs so smoothly.

Set.

In addition to thanking Zhao Chen for coming today, I also came to ask Zhao Chen about his next plans.

From Changsun Wuji's point of view, what he hopes most is that Zhao Chen can become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Only in this way can Zhao Chen control Datang in the future.

His eldest grandson's family can also rise to great heights and be passed down for generations.

King Han, thank you very much for what happened before. Changsun Wuji and Zhao Chen handed over their hands with gratitude on their faces.

If Zhao Chen hadn't spoken, his eldest son, Sun Wuji, wouldn't know how long he would have to wait before he could return to the court.

Mr. Zhao Guogong and I are helping each other now. Whatever we do is for our own sake. There is no need to say thank you. Zhao Chen waved his hand.

The relationship between the two, to put it nicely, is that of helping and supporting each other.

To put it mildly, it means collusion and collusion.

It's all for their own interests, and there's no need to talk in a superficial way.

Changsun Wuji nodded, he felt that Zhao Chen was a real person.

Next, what does His Highness the King of Han need from me? Changsun Wuji and Zhao Chen asked.

Wu Jue's incident made me understand that I alone cannot compete with the imperial power.

If you want to control the court, you need the support of all officials.

Next step, I hope Zhao Guogong can let me sit in the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Zhao Chen looked at Changsun Wuji and said slowly.

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel is the highest official position in the entire Ministry of Personnel, except for the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Official positions in the Tang Dynasty were based on the left. The right minister should also be ranked after the left minister.

Changsun Wuji was stunned and immediately understood that Zhao Chen was trying to win over officials from all over the world.

But in this way, wouldn't it mean that he, Changsun Wuji, was being ignored?

King of Han, do you agree?

Believe me? Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and asked Zhao Chen.

Of course I believe it. Zhao Chen nodded.

The King of Han believed in me, so I suggested that the King of Han should be the Minister of Household Affairs.

The most important power of the Ministry of Revenue is to control the world's money.

The most important things in the Tang Dynasty were officials and money.

I am now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and can control the relegation of officials. If His Highness the King of Han controls the Ministry of Household Affairs, most of this court will fall into our hands.

Moreover, Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has died. To this day, the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is still pending.

This is an opportunity for the King of Han! Changsun Wuji and Zhao Chen explained.

After all, Changsun Wuji still has some selfish motives.

He was worried that Zhao Chen would be the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs under him, and he would not be able to handle Zhao Chen.

When Zhao Chen becomes the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his eldest grandson Wuji will have no place to go.

Zhao Chen glanced at Changsun Wuji and guessed what he was thinking.

He smiled and said, I also think about being able to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs.

But with the current situation, if I tell the emperor directly, he will definitely not agree.

So, I hope Duke Zhao can help me.

Help His Highness the King of Han?

What should I do? Changsun Wuji was confused.

…

The emperor did not expect that Zhao Chen would take the initiative to come to see him.

Thinking about Zhao Chen not giving him any face at the court meeting, the emperor became extremely angry.

However, the emperor still summoned Zhao Chen.

No matter what, he still looked forward to Zhao Chen.

Why, when you see me, you even forget the etiquette?

Zhao Chen walked into the main hall, but did not take the initiative to say a word to the emperor.

The emperor was very uncomfortable.

\u003c

br\u003e He, Li Shimin, is the king and the father, why should he say hello to Zhao Chen first?

I came here today to ask for a debt from His Majesty.

So today, I am the creditor and Your Majesty is the debtor.

According to the saying, Your Majesty should salute me. Zhao Chen said, making the emperor stunned for a moment.

What creditors and debtors?

When did I owe you a debt? The emperor looked at Zhao Chen doubtfully. He didn't quite understand what Zhao Chen wanted to do today.

Your Majesty has forgotten that it has been two years since Your Majesty lent me thirty million dollars to build roads in Tubo.

The principal does not count. Your Majesty should also settle the two years' interest with me.

In addition, Wangyou Baozi Shop supplies the imperial palace every day. It has been two years and I haven't seen a single copper coin. Should I pay the money?

There is also the Chang'an Military Academy. Since the beginning of the semester, all expenses have been paid for by me. Does your Majesty really intend not to give a single copper plate? Zhao Chen said to the emperor, holding a large handful ready in his hand. list of expenses.

The emperor sat on the throne, looking somewhat embarrassed.

In the past few years, he has indeed been using Zhao Chen's money to do things for Datang.

For example, the walls of Cangzhou City and the pensions for the soldiers who died in the battle of Cangzhou were all paid for by Zhao Chen.

At that time, the emperor did not expect that Zhao Chen would come to collect the money from him.

After all, he and Zhao Chen are father and son, and these accounts should not be settled.

But today, Zhao Chen collected all the bills in front of him.

Did he say not to give it?

Can Zhao Chen agree?

Did he give this money?

But God knows how terrifying this number is.

Besides, how could he come up with the money and return it to Zhao Chen.

Boy Zhao, you are deliberately taking revenge on me because of what happened to Wu Jue, right? The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.
