travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 186 Can You Afford It?

Naturally, the gatekeepers of the palace are not qualified to report the situation at the gate to the two princes in the palace. This kind of thing can only be done by the housekeeper.

Although Zhao Si, the housekeeper of Luo County Prince's Mansion, was also an old man of Luo County's House, he was promoted after Luo County King Zhao Yu left home and came to Beijing, so he was not familiar with Prince Luo Zhao Xi.

Originally, Zhao Si didn't take Zhao Xi's arrival seriously. After all, although Zhao Xi was Zhao Yu's father, the two families were separated, and Zhao Xi was a guest of the county prince's mansion.

But it never occurred to Zhao Xi that just a little negligence would send off several scary people that Zhao Si liked on weekdays, but Zhao Yu didn't fart a single one.

From then on, Zhao Si knew that Zhao Xi had the final say on the county palace at this moment.

And unlike Zhao Yu who is strict with outsiders and loose with his own people, Zhao Xi is not only strict with outsiders, but also stricter with his own people.

But for a few days, most of the servants of the county palace called Zhao Xi a tyrant.

Seeing the tyrant's anger at this moment, Zhao Si walked forward frightenedly, and reported the situation in front of the Prince's Mansion carefully with some entanglement.

As a housekeeper, he naturally wouldn't just listen to what the guard said. After getting the news from the guard, Zhao Si went to have a look at the door himself.

I don't know if I don't see it. I was shocked when I saw it. There was a sea of ​​people at the door.

At the moment, Zhao Si didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't care that Zhao Xi was on fire at the moment, so he rushed to report.

Originally, Zhao Si planned to report the situation to Zhao Yu first, but who knew that Zhao Yu was watching his eyes and mind at the moment, and he was standing there motionless listening to Zhao Xi's scolding, without even looking outside.

Then all his little actions fell into Zhao Xi's eyes.

After listening to Zhao Si's report, Zhao Xi couldn't help but angrily said: "What are you doing with these idiots in the house? Why do you let these unscrupulous people block the door of our house?"

"My lord, there are too many people." Zhao Si explained in a low voice.

"You're nothing but nothing," Zhao Xi snorted coldly, "Don't try to find reasons to explain something, don't come to me when you have a problem, what do I spend money to support you? Isn't it for you to share my worries and solve problems? Now that there is a problem, if you don’t solve it yourself, you will look to Lao Tzu, what does Lao Tzu want you to do?”

Zhao Xi was also furious to the extreme, and he talked like an old man, and Zhao Yu secretly slandered at the side, thinking that if you were their old man, wouldn't he be imprisoned with these dog slaves.

Zhao Si knelt on the ground, feeling bitter. He thought that if I could solve the problem, I would come to you, an old man, to do something.

Zhao Xi got angry, seeing Zhao Si kneeling on the ground without saying a word, he couldn't help stretching out his feet to kick Zhao Si's body, Zhao Si's body was crooked, and he sat up straight again quickly.

"You," Zhao Xi pointed at Zhao Si, pondered for a while and said, "You lead people to drive away all those troublesome people outside the door, and dare to break ground on my Luowang mansion, this king sees them as impatient. "

Although Zhao Xi gave orders, Zhao Si did not move.

"Why, didn't you hear what this king said?" Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Si with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Zhao Si quickly raised his head and pleaded guilty: "The prince doesn't know something. There are too many people outside the door. The people in our house can't drive them away. They are all clamoring to see the prince."

"What a bunch of trash!" Zhao Xi said angrily, "Where are the people in the government? Could it be that they are just looking at my palace and surrounded by people, and they don't treat me as a prince?"

"My lord, there are a few government servants among the people around." Zhao Si said with a wry smile, "I heard that they were originally here to drive the crowd away, but they became part of the trouble when they were dragged by the crowd." member."

"Is there nothing we can do about these troublemakers?" Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Sidao.

"Father, don't they want to see you? How about you go out and meet them so that they can disperse." Zhao Yu raised his head and said cautiously.

"You mean to make this king obey those unreasonable people?" Zhao Xi sneered and said, "I am a dignified prince, how could I belittle these unruly people just because they besieged the palace."

"Yes, my father taught me that." Zhao Yu nodded quickly and stepped aside.

Seeing that Zhao Yu and Zhao Si looked incapable of solving it, Zhao Xi stomped his feet angrily, and said, "Forget it, since we can't drive them away, let them wait at the door, I don't believe it anymore, These people can still keep blocking the gate of the palace."

Seeing that Zhao Xi's attitude had been settled, Zhao Yu and Zhao Si didn't have much to say. Zhao Si withdrew to the gate and told the guard to watch over the gate, while Zhao Yu stayed in the room and waited for Zhao Xi to get angry.

But when Zhao Si left, Zhao Xi didn't get angry at all, but just looked at Zhao Yu fixedly.

"Father, what's the matter?" Zhao Yu asked Zhao Xi involuntarily, his heart aching.

"What do you know about Zhao Fei?" If Zhao Xi's words fall into the ears of outsiders, it will inevitably make people feel rebellious and disobedient, but at this moment when father and son get along, Zhao Xi doesn't care at all.

Zhao Yu acted as if he hadn’t heard Zhao Xi’s rebellious title, thought for a while and said, “Back to my father, when His Majesty was the prince, I was not familiar with him, and after he became the emperor, I was even less familiar with him, so I don’t know much about your majesty.” Didn't understand anything."

"You don't know anything about Zhao Fei?" Zhao Xi snorted dissatisfiedly: "Then what am I raising you for in Chang'an? Isn't it to make friends with the dignitaries in the court and China, and mainly to build a good relationship with the emperor?" ?"

"Father, it's not that I don't work hard, it's just that your majesty is too low-key." Zhao Yu said with a wry smile: "When your majesty was the prince, you couldn't see the chance with foreign ministers for a year. After becoming emperor, you mainly communicate with ministers every day, I don't have much contact with us clan children, but according to Zhao Yong, His Majesty is a very talented person."

"Neixiu?" Zhao Xi frowned.

"Yes, that's what Zhao Yong said." Zhao Yu nodded.

After Zhao Xi finished listening, he took two steps in the room, and said, "Then do you think this evaluation is right?"

"It should be pertinent." Zhao Yudao: "Your Majesty didn't show any leaks in front of people before. He seemed just a mediocre person. However, since he ascended the throne, although there have been many emergencies in the court, he has not shaken his will. Any foundation, on the contrary, it seems that the imperial court is somewhat prosperous."

"That's right." Zhao Xi sighed: "Actually, I came to Chang'an this time not only for you and Zhao Yong's affairs, not only for this cuju competition, but also because I wanted to see Zhao Fei up close. Man, I have heard many of his actions in Luoshui, and in my opinion, many of his actions can be regarded as old-fashioned."

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes, he didn't talk to him, and he didn't dare to talk to him. Zhao Xi's words sounded really scary.

Zhao Xi seemed to know what Zhao Yu was thinking, and said with a sneer: "Some things, if people don't know, unless they do nothing about it, since they have done it, they have to go to the end one by one, no matter whether it is a bright and smooth road ahead or a deep abyss Don't hesitate, otherwise you will miss the best opportunity and regret it later."

After that, Zhao Xi took a deep look at Zhao Yu, then turned and left.

After Zhao Xi left for a long time, Zhao Yu raised his head, his expression was unpredictable, and his heart was full of surprise.

Shouldn't this old man know all the things he did?
Zhao Yu looked at the place where Zhao Xi was standing before, and gradually frowned. It wasn't that he was suspicious, but Zhao Xi's words really made him feel as if everything had been seen through.

Different from the unhappiness of the two princes of Luojun Palace, Zhao Fei bid farewell to Liu Ruyun with a happy face.

Under Zhao Fei's patient "enlightenment", Liu Ruyun finally stopped caring about Zhao Fei's failure to tell her his identity. When the two spent a happy time together, Zhao Fei said goodbye to Liu Ruyun with a look of reluctance. .

As soon as he returned to the palace, Chen San came to apologize to Zhao Fei with a face full of shame.

Zhao Fei is currently enjoying himself. Although he still has a grudge against Chen San's actions, since the matter has been perfectly resolved, Zhao Fei does not want to pursue the mistakes of his current confidant.

So he waved his hand very generously and said: "Don't mention this matter again, but this kind of matter must not be decided in private in the future, otherwise I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Chen San let go of the heart he had been carrying all the time, and couldn't help but thank Liu Meihua outside the palace for the news that he had passed on to him. He said in his heart that he must repay her well when we meet tomorrow.

Fortunately, Zhao Fei didn't know what Chen San was thinking at the moment, otherwise he would have taught Chen San how to behave every minute.

After begging, Chen San gloated and reported the current situation of Luojun Palace to Zhao Fei.

As Zhao Fei's thug at the moment, Chen San certainly knew that Zhao Fei and the Luo County Palace were not on good terms, and the unlucky things in the County Palace always made Zhao Fei happy.

Since the master is happy, Chen San is naturally gloating, and doesn't mind exaggerating a bit to make the master happier.

"Escaping won't solve the problem, it will only make it worse." After listening to Chen San's report, Zhao Fei looked at Chen San earnestly and said, "Chen San, remember this sentence."

"Yes." Chen San nodded quickly, and said, "Then is there anything else the master wants me to do?"

"En." Zhao Fei pondered for a while, and said, "Well, if you go for a walk, you will say that the reason why Zhao Xi closed the door and never saw anyone is because Zhao Xi has always regarded fulfilling the demands of the people as his lifelong ideal. Zhao Xi already knew his appeal. He is now taking a bath and fasting at home. At the same time, he asked the masters of the county palace to make all kinds of tofu nao from all over the country. He wants to carefully taste the difference between salty tofu nao and sweet tofu nao. s answer."

The corner of Chen San's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that Zhao Fei was going to punish Zhao Xi to death!

But Chen San knew that he just made a mistake. Although Zhao Fei said he would not pursue it, the leader's words must not be taken seriously. Who knows if the leader will settle accounts with him if he fails to do something well tomorrow.

Therefore, Chen San definitely did the task assigned by Zhao Fei earnestly without cutting corners.

Thinking of the appearance in front of the Prince's Mansion after the news of himself spread, Chen San couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the two princes of the Prince's Mansion.

Why do you think you want to provoke His Majesty the Emperor?

Did you provoke His Majesty the Emperor?

Chen San shook his head secretly, and took the order to leave.
