Chapter 1305 I have to find a rich man to solve it
Although the emperor agreed with Changsun Wuji's method, he was still not relieved.
After all, before hearing the accurate news, the emperor was still worried that Zhao Chen would be the turtle to eat the weight, and he was determined to repay the borrowed money himself.
If that is the case, Li Shimin would better not appear at the court meeting of the day after tomorrow.
Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed by that time, and he would be afraid that he would not be ashamed to see others in the future.
Therefore, the emperor came to Empress Changsun’s Lizheng Hall.
He felt that it might be a bit unreliable to send Changsun Wuji to test Zhao Chen.
It would be better to ask Empress Changsun to ask Zhao Chen.
But after telling Empress Changsun, the emperor clearly saw Empress Changsun’s face showing a look of embarrassment.
"Guanyin Bi, what kind of expression do you have? Is this difficult?" The emperor frowned, inevitably a little unhappy.
Empress Changsun was of course in a dilemma.
When she came back from Guoxiang Temple, she specifically thought about visiting Zhao Chen.
As a result, Zhao Chen avoided her.
Obviously, the incident between Wu Qi made Zhao Chen feel a grudge against her.
At this time, the emperor asked him to ask Zhao Chen about the money. Empress Changsun felt that she might not even see Zhao Chen at all.
"Your Majesty has said that you have already asked your brother to ventilate with Chen'er, so I don't have to go again." Empress Changsun asked the emperor.
"Is something wrong with you and Zhao again?"
"Last time you came back from Guoxiang Temple, I found something was wrong with you."
"Boy Zhao is making things difficult for you?" the emperor frowned.
He keenly realized that something was wrong with Empress Changsun.
In the past, Empress Changsun was very excited whenever she asked her to meet Zhao Chen.
How could he refuse like now?
"No, I just don't know how to meet Chen'er." Empress Changsun shook her head.
She didn't want the emperor to know what had happened before, so as not to have conflicts with Zhao Chen again because of herself.
"The matter of Wu Xi has nothing to do with you Guanyin maid. If you go to see him, if he dares to be ungrateful, see how I deal with him!" the emperor said coldly.
It's not like a joke.
Empress Changsun had no choice but to leave the palace early the next morning to see Zhao Chen.
The next morning, Empress Changsun's car arrived at Chang'an Military Academy, but she did not see any students in the academy.
After asking, I learned that Zhao Chen, Cheng Chumo, Li Ke and others were training outside with the students from the academy.
I have to wait until evening to come back.
Queen Changsun naturally would not wait in the academy until night, but this also made her feel relieved.
Since Zhao Chen avoided himself for the first time, if Zhao Chen was in the academy today, the same result would be compared.
It would be better to have such a result. If the emperor asks about it after she goes back, he can have an explanation.
...
Although the emperor received a reply from Changsun Wuji, he said that Zhao Chen was willing to agree to the emperor's conditions.
But Empress Changsun still did not see Zhao Chen, which made the emperor a little uneasy.
Thinking about tomorrow's court meeting, if Zhao Chen regrets it, he will be determined to pay it back.
Then, does Li Shimin still have the face?
I was a little uneasy when I slept at night. At the next hour of Mao, the emperor opened his eyes and his circles looked a little black.
After the palace servants who were responsible for serving the emperor, they went to Tai Chi Hall.
When we arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, all the officials had arrived, and they were lined up in two rows and stood on the main hall.
"I'm paying homage to Your Majesty." The officials shouted. The emperor just waved his hand and looked at Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji clearly told him that Zhao Chen had agreed to his conditions.
But in front of him, Zhao Chen did not appear in the Tai Chi Hall.
What about playing tricks on yourself?
"Auxiliary machine, where is Zhao Chen?" The emperor stared at Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched.
How could he know where Zhao Chen went?
However, his mind was quickly turned around and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the King of Han was still in the academy outside the city yesterday, so he would probably be a little late today."
"We don't have to wait for him, the Sixth Ministry still has a lot of things to deal with!"
The emperor didn't say anything, as long as Zhao Chen didn't come to collect money from him today, it doesn't matter.
"Well, let's discuss other things in advance." The emperor waved his hand.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Fang Xuanling stood up and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, news has been heard from Hedong area that the flood season this year is extended, and all rivers and canals may have the risk of breaking the dam."
"Hedong region hopes that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry can support it."
The so-called support from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry is nothing more than the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry and Industry.
Hedong is not too far from Chang'an.
As the birthplace of the Yellow River, Hedong was very important in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, in the Hedong region, there were millions of people in the Tang Dynasty.
If a river or canal breaks the dam, it is definitely not a trivial matter.
"What do they say?" the emperor frowned.
As long as the Ministry of Revenue is mentioned, it will definitely cost money.
But where does the Ministry of Revenue still have money now?
"Hedong officials said that they need the court to support one million jin of silver to strengthen the river embankment..."
"Millions of coins?"
"How dare they speak?" The emperor interrupted Fang Xuanling's words at that time.
The Ministry of Revenue has now hollowed out all the inventory, which is only 500,000 guan.
This requires other things to beware of.
How can I get millions of coins?
Fang Xuanling was interrupted by the emperor, so naturally he didn't say anything. He just helped handle the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.
He has no responsibility for specific things.
"What are you doing? Let's talk about it!" Seeing that all the officials were not speaking, the emperor was a little annoyed.
Where can all officials have any solutions?
This obviously needs money to solve. What can they do?
Could it be that the emperor ordered to increase taxes?
Whoever makes this suggestion must not let the emperor chop off his head first?
All the officials did not speak, which made the emperor even more angry.
I thought to myself that there are so many officials in the court, can they raise them for their own meals?
"Bang--"
"Speak!" The emperor slapped the table suddenly and angrily again.
All officials bowed their heads.
"Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you said." The emperor looked at the current Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, with a cold face.
The Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was an elderly old man. When he heard the emperor's name and let him speak, his heart immediately sank.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue now only has 500,000 jin of silver coins, so you have to beware of other things happening."
"I really can't afford that much money."
"But I know that His Highness the King of Han is rich, if he can get His Highness the King of Han to support him..."
When the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said this, he looked up and looked carefully at the emperor's face.
Seeing that the emperor's expression was slow, he knew that his words made the emperor think about it.
The courage in this heart inevitably became stronger.
"Your Majesty, the industries under the King of Han have made a much higher income every year than the court's income."
"The King of Han is His Majesty's prince, so it is natural to spend some money to help overcome the difficulties in front of him." The Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said with a smile.
The atmosphere of Tai Chi Hall has eased.
All the officials breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that the emperor would ask one, so they asked others.
They can't solve this moneyless thing.
Such a difficult problem, of course, I have to find rich people to solve it.
Chapter completed!
