Chapter 891 Don't be shameless
Liu Zhenghui felt that it was necessary to question the emperor.
It would be better if the emperor didn't cheat money with Zhao Chen, if he was really caught.
He, Liu Zhenghui, must shake off the emperor's scandal.
Let the emperor know that with him, Liu Zhenghui, the Emperor could not let the Emperor do whatever he wanted.
Liu Zhenghui went straight to the palace, but was told that the emperor had not returned yet.
Liu Zhenghui subconsciously thought that the emperor must have gone to share the spoils with Zhao Chen.
So I didn't come back at this time.
Old Man Liu has a stubborn temper and is standing outside the Ganquan Hall waiting for the emperor in the cold weather.
Fortunately, a eunuch brought the brazier, otherwise it would be so cold that Liu Zhenghui would have to freeze to death before the emperor came back.
The emperor and the queen came back in a carriage, and Empress Changsun returned to Lizheng Hall, and the emperor was about to change his clothes before going.
There were 300,000 guan immediately, and Zhao Chen had already agreed to hand over the cotton seeds to him for planting.
In less than two or three years, cotton will bloom all over every corner of the Tang Dynasty.
It can be foreseeable how comfortable life will be for the people of the Tang Dynasty in a few years.
The emperor was very happy and stepped on the last step with his hands behind his back. He looked up and saw Liu Zhenghui sitting on the threshold of Ganquan Hall.
There was a brazier in front of him, and Old Man Liu reached out to bake the fire.
This old guy is here to pursue the matter of 300,000 yuan again! The emperor thought to himself.
He coughed lightly and said, "Why don't you go home? But if you have something to do, you'll find me?"
"Why did Your Majesty come back so late?" Liu Zhenghui stood up and bowed to the emperor and asked.
His suspicious eyes glanced at the emperor.
"I told Zhao Chen something. I'm late to come back and it's too cold outside. My dear, please come in and talk about it if you have something to do." The emperor raised his foot and walked into Ganquan Hall.
Liu Zhenghui frowned and followed him in.
The door of Ganquan Hall was closed, and the inside of the room was slightly warmer than outside.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is here again today. I want to ask your Majesty again, that 300,000 yuan was given to Your Majesty by Duke Zhao?"
"Today, the Duke of Zhao County asked for a price of 700,000 yuan, but it was actually a discussion with Your Majesty. What I said is correct?" Liu Zhenghui was also straightforward and said it to the emperor's heart.
Where would the emperor admit it?
If this matter is exposed, how can he, the emperor, lead all officials in the future?
"There is no such thing, the queen also said that the money was kept by her and Zhao Chen." Li Shimin waved.
There was a little displeasure between them.
Liu Zhenghui is good everywhere, he just likes to be serious.
You gave all the money, but who did you care about the money that ended up falling into?
Why, can you still get back from Zhao Chen with the money you gave?
"Your Majesty!" Liu Zhenghui shouted.
"I know that Your Majesty has a strong relationship with the Zhao County Public, but the lord is the lord, and the minister is the lord. If the lord and the minister are not distinguished, the rules will change and the world will be in peace."
"Your Majesty is short of money, I understand in my heart, but if you join forces with Duke Zhao to cheat the treasury of the money, it would be a big mistake."
"I will ask, today's Eight Cow Crossbow, Your Majesty really did not conspire with Duke Zhao County..."
"Liu Zhenghui, don't be shameless!" The emperor slapped the table suddenly, showing a stern look.
This old guy seems to have concluded that he and Zhao Chen have jointly sold the Eight-Cow Crossbow for money.
Every sentence is said to his heart.
It is true that Zhao Chen gave him money, but if the eight ox crossbow is not worth 700,000, the emperor chopped off his head.
I wanted 300,000 guan from Zhao Chen's greedy ghost. What's wrong?
Is there anything wrong?
When did you conspire with Zhao Chen?
Not only did Li Shimin be right, he also cheated Zhao Chen and restored his dignity to the Tang Dynasty court.
This old guy Liu Zhenghui is not at all sensible.
It would be fine if you don’t say something nice, but you still question yourself again and again?
"I ask you, is the Eight Niu Crossbow worth 700,000 guan? Even if the 300,000 guan is for me, is it Zhao Chen lost, or is it your Ministry of Revenue? "
"I asked you to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue, not to hold my throat tightly. If you don't want to do it, I can let Zhao Chen be the Minister of Revenue."
"Your Majesty, old minister..."
"I'll give you this thing, take it for me to get out!" The emperor walked down angrily and stuffed the hand warmer in his hand into Liu Zhenghui's hand.
He didn't say anything anymore, so he went to the back hall to change his clothes.
Liu Zhenghui held the hand warmer in his hand and felt warmer in his hand.
He just couldn't figure out whether the 700,000 guan really gave the emperor 300,000 guan.
Liu Zhenghui walked out of the hall with a handwarmer pot in his arms, and saw Fang Xuanling coming towards him.
"Has Secretary Liu just met His Majesty?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"I've seen it, I've been scolded by Your Majesty for a while." Liu Zhenghui smiled with a slight self-deprecating smile.
"I forgot to tell Liu Shangshu just now that no matter whether the money is 300,000 yuan or not, the Ministry of Revenue will not lose money."
"On the contrary, if you really give your Majesty 300,000 yuan, then the Ministry of Revenue will still make a profit."
"What's the solution?" Liu Zhenghui frowned.
He didn't quite understand what Fang Xuanling meant.
"Shangshu Liu thought about it, first of all, let's assume that Your Majesty has not participated, and that 300,000 yuan is not given to Your Majesty."
"The value of the Eight Niu Crossbow is definitely more than 700,000 guan, but the Ministry of Revenue only paid 700,000 guan, and the Ministry of Revenue made it, right!" Fang Xuanling explained.
Liu Zhenghui nodded.
Think about it, it seems that this is true.
"Besides, even if the emperor told Zhao Chen in advance that he would divide 300,000 guan, the Ministry of Revenue would still only pay 700,000 guan, and the remaining 300,000 guan was in the hands of His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is rich, and you won't bother Liu Shangshu about asking for money again in the future."
"Thus, the Ministry of Revenue has not lost yet, right?" Fang Xuanling said again.
Liu Zhenghui frowned, although it sounded like there was no problem.
But I always feel something is wrong.
"Since the Ministry of Revenue won the Eight Niu Crossbow for 700,000 yuan, it would not suffer any loss."
"In this way, Shangshu Liu came over to make things difficult for Your Majesty?"
"Actually, it's not easy for Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling sighed.
He had seen with his own eyes how the emperor was humble in front of Zhao Chen.
But that's why the Tang Dynasty became better day by day.
If there was no emperor, would Zhao Chen sell such a powerful Eight-Nuo Crossbow for 700,000 s?
You know, the semi-finished crossbow of the Ministry of War military weapons supervised cost 500,000 ounces.
"No wonder His Majesty was so annoyed. He just stuffed this thing to me and told me to get out of here." Liu Zhenghui rubbed the hand warmer in his hand, as if he had figured it out.
"Isn't this the thing that Your Majesty has been holding in his hand just now? Why did you give it to you?" Fang Xuanling looked at the oval copper pot in front of him and said in confusion.
"Yes, Your Majesty just gave me this thing and left, but let alone it is quite warm, it seems like hot water is poured here." Liu Zheng smiled at the meeting.
Thinking about it now, the emperor is quite good to him.
At least he has never seen this thing in his hand.
Moreover, it's really warm.
"Touch me." Fang Xuanling became interested and reached out to touch her.
Liu Zhenghui took a step back, protected the hand warmer in his hand, and said, "This is a gift from Your Majesty, how can you touch it casually?"
