travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 134 is back

After returning to the palace, Zhao Fei wrote a statement about the lottery ticket and asked someone to bring it to Wang Qinian.

After all, I was planning to promote the lottery during the Cuju competition. As the person in charge of the organizer of the Cuju competition, Wang Qinian had the right to know his plan.

This can be regarded as a pre-ventilation, so as to avoid embarrassment in time.

Early the next morning, Zhao Fei received a notice from Anping, saying that Wang Qinian entered the palace early in the morning to ask to see Zhao Fei.

so positive?

Zhao Fei secretly thought, although this lottery ticket will be a great source of income if it is successful, but at present, it is just a small fight, no matter how you look at it, it does not require labor. The old man came to find him early in the morning, right?
Although he was slanderous in his heart, Zhao Fei still simply cleaned up and took Anping to the military plane.

After greeting each other with Wang Qinian, Zhao Fei asked, "Wang Aiqing, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?"

"Your Majesty, I came here because I have two matters to discuss with Your Majesty." Wang Qinian said.

"Which two things are they?" Zhao Fei asked curiously.

"The first thing is what was mentioned in the note His Majesty sent to His Majesty yesterday." Wang Qinian said.

"You mean the lottery ticket?" Zhao Fei thought to himself that it was really because of this, but such a small business shouldn't let the old man come to him early in the morning.

Wang Qinian looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, do you remember that I said that the funds used for the construction of the Cuju Field in Chang'an City this time were all donated by big businessmen in Chang'an City?"

"Remember," Zhao Fei nodded and said, "I also praised these big businessmen at that time. After all, at this time, being able to donate money to the country for construction is indeed a pillar of the country, and it is an act that everyone should emulate."

"Yes." Wang Qinian nodded, then took two steps left and right, looked at Zhao Fei and whispered, "Your Majesty, in fact, these businessmen don't have conditions when they donate."

"En." Zhao Fei looked at Wang Qinian noncommittally.

Zhao Fei knew one thing a long time ago, that is, the accumulation of capital is definitely full of blood. As the representative businessmen of capitalists, these people are definitely not generous people.

Poda's family business was also accumulated bit by bit. A group of people who absolutely understand the way of saving money will never become generous for no reason, and the main benefits should be.

I just don't know what the benefits are?
Zhao Fei looked at Wang Qinian inquisitively. He had a faint feeling that this benefit might have something to do with the lottery ticket he raised, otherwise the old man would never have brought it up alone for no reason.

Sure enough, Wang Qinian sighed and said: "The old minister did not hide it from His Majesty, these businessmen put forward some conditions, none of which were extraordinary, but one of them was related to the thing His Majesty sent yesterday, the old minister did not know How much is involved in this, I dare not be self-disciplined, so I had to wait at the gate of the palace early in the morning, waiting to see His Majesty, and clarify this matter face to face."

"Yeah." Zhao Fei's eyes flashed, and he said, "Tell me, what is it?"

"When the merchants proposed sponsorship, they once proposed to the minister that they should co-organize some gambling games with the Ministry of War during the Cuju competition." Wang Qinian said: "This is not without precedent, so the minister agreed at the time, but I didn't expect Your Majesty I actually thought of this, so I had no choice but to come here and inform His Majesty about it."

"So that's the case." Zhao Fei nodded and said, "I know, this business has always been about shopping around, and there has never been a principle of first come, first come first, so I do what I do, and they do theirs. What's the matter."

Wang Qinian looked at Zhao Fei, hesitant to speak.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Fei asked.

Wang Qinian gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. At that time, I agreed with the merchants that during the entire Cuju competition, all gambling related to Cuju will be managed by them."

"Huh?" Zhao Fei frowned and said, "Could it be that I can't do this business?"

"Your Majesty..." Wang Qinian didn't dare to say the word "No", but the expression on his face revealed the thoughts in his heart to Zhao Fei.

Zhao Fei's face immediately turned cold, and he said directly: "I don't care what you discussed with those businessmen, I only know one thing, no matter what, the only official means of gambling in this competition is the lottery."

"This..." Wang Qinian finally sighed and said nothing. He knew that Zhao Fei is not the Zhao Fei of the past, and it is easier to be fooled. The current Zhao Fei is more and more like an emperor. , Ministers are absolutely not allowed to disobey at will.

So Wang Qinian was very sensible and didn't contradict Zhao Fei. If it continued, Wang Qinian didn't think it would do him any good.

Forget it, there are a few businessmen on the left and right, and there is really no other way, so I sent them away with some coercive means. The small businessmen on the left and right dare to disobey my dignified Minister of the Ministry of War.

After pondering for a while, Wang Qinian decided to put this matter aside for the time being, and do whatever the leader says, there is really no need to disobey the leader's intention.

"You said there are two things, but this is just one thing. What is the other thing?" Zhao Fei asked.

Wang Qinian took out a roll of documents from his sleeve, handed it to Zhao Fei, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a piece of information that was sent from an insider of the Daqing Kingdom three months ago, because the contents of the records are really too convincing. People were shocked, so it took three months to spread from the Daqing Kingdom to the imperial court."

"What information is so important?" Zhao Fei opened the document curiously, and then opened his mouth.

Quickly closing the document, Zhao Fei looked at Wang Qinian carefully and said, "Is this true?"

"I don't know." Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "Except for a few people in the Daqing Kingdom, no one knows the truth of this matter."

"How many people in the court have read this document?" Zhao Fei asked again.

"At present, only His Majesty and ministers have read this document." Wang Qinian said.

"Where is the person who sent this document?" Zhao Fei said, "Does he know about it?"

"The minister has already sent him to guard the border." Wang Qinian said: "After all, he has done things for the court for many years. The minister did not kill him, but sent him to the most frontier area to guard the border. If you think about it, unless you get an edict from His Majesty, Otherwise, I will spend my whole life in the frontier, and if Your Majesty thinks that I am too kind, I will let people chase me..."

Wang Qinian put his five fingers together, and then raised it in front of his neck.

Looking at Wang Qinian, Zhao Fei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He deeply felt that this guy really deserved to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, and his words were full of blood.

For the imperial court, it is true that a piece of toilet paper has its own functions. Of course, after this piece of toilet paper is used, it can only be flushed into the sewer and turned into fertilizer to increase the soil fertility of the country's cultivated land.

Although Zhao Fei was not used to this kind of act of living in everything for the continuation of the court, but as an emperor, when things to be considered were more comprehensive and macro, Zhao Fei had to accept this "toilet paper theory".

Looking at the things in his hand, Zhao Fei frowned deeply. The things recorded in this document were really too surprising, which made Zhao Fei unable to react.

Zhao Fei didn't speak, so Wang Qinian could only ask in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?"

"That's the end of this matter." Zhao Fei said with a flash of eyes: "I don't care whether the things recorded in this document are true or not, I just want to emphasize one point, I don't want the things recorded in it to be spread."

"Yes." Wang Qinian nodded, and said again: "But since our people can find out this news, and it has been three months, it is likely to be a household name in Daqing."

"Don't worry about it." Zhao Fei said, "It's someone else's business if it is passed on by others. I just don't want that matter to be passed on from the court. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Wang Qinian nodded.

Zhao Fei glanced at the document in his hand again, then put the document in his sleeve and carefully put it away, sighed, and thought: It is not an easy task to be the emperor no matter which country you are in.

At this time, Anping walked to the door and whispered to a little eunuch for a while, then turned and returned to Zhao Fei's side.

"Is there something wrong?" Zhao Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Anping nodded, obviously paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, Sha Huwei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is now begging to see you at the palace gate."

Sahuway?
Zhao Fei was taken aback for a moment. If Anping hadn't mentioned the person's name and position, Zhao Fei would have almost forgotten this guy who had left a deep impression on him.

That day, at the court meeting, this man boldly stated the current abuses of the court, and at the same time, he let himself go to the imperial court to conquer in person, that was very prestige.

Later, I ordered Lin Wanrong to set up a research team headed by Sha Huwei to go to Hebei Province to check the local disaster situation in detail.

Later, Lin Wanrong declined the errand on the grounds that he was not in good health, so after thinking about it, Zhao Fei asked Sha Huwei to go to Hebei Road to check the situation by himself.

Unexpectedly, this guy has come back now?
Zhao Fei was a little surprised and said: "You said that Sha Huwei is back? But why didn't I get any news before?"

After speaking, Zhao Fei turned his head to Wang Qinian again and asked, "Do you know about Sha Huwei's return to Chang'an today?"

"I don't know." Wang Qinian racked his brains for a long time, and finally realized that he had never received the news that Sha Huwei had returned to Chang'an.

At that moment, Zhao Fei and Wang Qinian looked at each other in blank dismay.

There is a set of fixed procedures for doing anything in the imperial court, and this procedure cannot be changed casually.

For example, when a minister leaves and returns to the court, he must inform the relevant departments of the court of his itinerary in advance, and now a court minister with a heavy responsibility returns to the court, whether it is Zhao Fei, the emperor, or Wang Qinian, who is currently in charge of the largest intelligence department in the Song Dynasty. , I don't even know.

This is a very strange thing.

"Did the little eunuch ever say what is Master Sha's situation?" Zhao Fei looked at Anping and said.

Anping immediately said: "It is said that Mr. Sha has a dusty appearance, he does not look like a high official of the imperial court at all, until he took out the seal, the guard on duty at the palace gate sent someone to report."

"That's it." Zhao Fei turned to look at Wang Qinian, and then said, "Go and bring Mr. Sha here."

"Yes."
