Although he was extremely reluctant, Qu Wentai didn't dare to really turn against Wu Xi.

After all, he didn't dare to really test Zhao Chen's care about Wu Zi.

He had to smile and said, "Queen, 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, then take a good rest in the carriage."

"We'll set out again tomorrow!"

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

He thought Wu Zhi would respond to him, but it didn't end up.

Qu Wentai's face was extremely gloomy and he clenched his fists and left here.

Old Huang sat in the coachman's position and looked at the scene just now without expression throughout the whole process.

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

"Why?" Wu Qi seemed to be intrigued in the carriage.

"You are a good method of pretending to be powerful."

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

"If I have other ways, it won't be like this." Wu Qi's voice was a little deeper.

The smile on Lao Huang's face was frozen, and he understood what Wu Yu said in his heart.

If someone can protect her, she will not be able to pretend to be a tiger.

"Xiao Wu, before leaving, Xiao Zi Zhao told me that I would protect you for two years. Within two years, he would go to Gaochang to pick you up home." Lao Huang said slowly.

He felt that he needed to inform Wu Xi of this matter.

Gaochang is not Chang'an. Apart from him, Lao Huang, there is no one around Wu Qi who can believe it.

Lao Huang must let Wu Xi have the belief to persevere.

Wu Yu in the carriage did not say anything, and Lao Huang didn't say anything, but vaguely, Lao Huang heard a slight sob from the carriage.

...

Changsun Wuji came to Chang'an Military Academy.

He didn't expect that he would become the Minister of Personnel so smoothly.

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

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

Only in this way can Zhao Chen control the Tang Dynasty in the future.

His Changsun family can also be passed down to the sky and spread for generations.

"King of Han, thank you for your previous incident." Changsun Wuji bowed to Zhao Chen, and he was very grateful.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen's words, Changsun Wuji wouldn't know when he would have to wait until he could return to the court.

"I am now helping each other. Whatever I do is for ourselves. I don't have to say thank you." Zhao Chen waved his hand.

To put it nicely, the relationship between the two is to help and support each other.

To put it bluntly, it means collusion and fraternity.

It is all for their own interests, and there is no need to say anything on the scene.

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

"Next, what does Your Highness the King of Han need me to do?" Changsun Wuji asked Zhao Chen.

"The Wu Xi incident made me understand that I can't compete with the imperial power alone."

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

"Next, I hope Duke Zhao can let me take the position of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel." Zhao Chen looked at Changsun Wuji and said slowly.

The Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was the entire Ministry of Personnel, except for the Minister of Personnel.

The official positions of the Tang Dynasty were respected by the left. The right minister should also be ranked behind the left minister.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that Zhao Chen wanted to win over officials in the world.

But in this way, wouldn’t it undermine his Changsun Wuji himself?

"King of Han, do you believe me?" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and asked Zhao Chen.

"Of course I believe it." Zhao Chen nodded.

"The King of Han believes in me, so I suggest that the King of Han be the Minister of Revenue."

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

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

"I am now the Minister of Personnel and can control the relocation of officials. If His Highness the King of Han controls the Ministry of Revenue, most of the court will fall into our hands."

"Besides, Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, died. Until now, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is still pending."

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

After all, Changsun Wuji is still a little selfish.

He was worried that Zhao Chen would be the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel under his command, and he could not beat Zhao Chen.

By then, Zhao Chen will become the Minister of Personnel, and wouldn’t he have no place to go again?

Zhao Chen glanced at Changsun Wuji and guessed what he thought.

He smiled and said, "I also thought I could serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"But if I told the emperor directly about the situation, he would definitely not agree."

"So, I hope Duke Zhao can help me."

"Help Your Highness the King of Han?"

"How to help?" Changsun Wuji was puzzled.

...

The emperor did not expect that Zhao Chen would come to see him on his own initiative.

Thinking that Zhao Chen would not give him any face at all at the court meeting, the emperor was so angry that he would not make a fuss.

However, the emperor summoned Zhao Chen.

No matter what, he is still looking forward to Zhao Chen.

"Why, when I saw me, I forgot even the etiquette?"

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

The emperor felt very uncomfortable.

He is Li Shimin, a king and a father, why do you want him to say hello to Zhao Chen first?

"I came here today because I wanted His Majesty to ask for debt."

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

"According to the saying, Your Majesty should be polite to me." Zhao Chen spoke, stunned the emperor.

"What creditors and debtors?"

"When did I owe you debts?" The emperor looked at Zhao Chen in confusion. He didn't quite understand what Zhao Chen wanted to do today.

"Your Majesty forgot that Tubo has built roads, and Your Majesty borrowed me 30 million jin of silver. It has been two years since then."

"The principal is not counted, Your Majesty should settle the interest for two years with me."

"In addition, Wangyou Baozi Shop supplies the palace every day. It has been two years since I haven't seen a single copper plate. Should I pay for this money?"

"And Chang'an Military Academy. Since the start of school, all the expenses have been paid by me. Does Your Majesty really plan to not give a single copper coin?" Zhao Chen said to the emperor, holding a handful of preparations in his hand.

list of expenditures.

The emperor sat on the throne, and his face was somewhat awkward.

In recent years, he has indeed been using Zhao Chen’s money to do business for the Tang Dynasty.

For example, the walls of Cangzhou City and the pensions of soldiers who died in the battle in Cangzhou were all taken out 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 counted.

But today, Zhao Chen received the accounts in front of him.

Did he say he wouldn't give it?

Can Zhao Chen agree?

He gives this money?

But God knows how terrifying this is.

Besides, where could he take out the money and return it to Zhao Chen?
