As for the 10 million taels that Zhao Wuxian obtained by raiding the Ship Trade Guild, in their eyes, it was nothing.
What shipping guild?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just a business organization?
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!
Even though the status of merchants improved during the Song Dynasty, they were still at the bottom of the social ladder in the eyes of the scholar-official class.
The wealth accumulated by these people is due to their “unkindness due to their wealth”.
Zhao Wuxian is not only a royal relative.
He used to be a scholar, a student preparing to take the imperial examination.
In the eyes of the literati, this person is considered half one of their own.
In short.
For the sake of 10 million taels, Zhao Xu would never tolerate it.
Even the voices in the court were mostly in support of Zhao Wuxian.
Most of the voices of opposition and memorials were ignored.
Zhao Xu has always had a battle plan in his mind, and now with this large sum of money, his plan can be carried out.
For their own purposes.
He was able to endure and ignore all of Zhao Wuxian's inappropriate behavior in Jiangnan.
He has always been an emperor who is good at forbearance.
As long as the money is in place, everything can be negotiated.
I don’t know where Zhao Wuxian is.
Calculating the time, it’s time to go to Beijing, right?
Just as Zhao Xu was looking forward to it, a eunuch hurried in to report, saying, "Sir, there is a secret letter from Eunuch Mi!"
Ok?
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Read it!"
Mi You Bridge was not originally called Mi You Bridge, but "Mi Cang Qiong".
He is the direct disciple of Zhang Tianai, the master of Zhanjing Hall [Marquis Huaiyin Zhang], and the person with the most profound martial arts in the palace.
Since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, Mi Youqiao has been serving Zhao Xu.
therefore.
Mi Youqiao became one of Zhao Xu's most trusted people.
The other person is Master Xiao Wang.
Because of this trust, Zhao Xu allowed Mi Youqiao to go to Gusu.
The eunuch opened the sealed secret letter.
Read out the contents of the secret letter.
"What? Someone robbed us on the way?"
The first sentence in the secret letter made Zhao Xu break down. His eyes widened, he took a step forward and snatched the secret letter.
Zhao Wuxian was escorting his 10 million!
Zhao Xu had already regarded the 10 million as his own.
Who is so bold as to rob him of his money?
Zhao Xu was furious.
He has ten lines at a glance.
He quickly read half of the secret letter and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately.
My own ten million is fine.
After Zhao Xu's brows relaxed, they frowned again.
Because the escort team suffered heavy casualties and Zhao Wuxian was also injured, so Zhao Wuxian asked to take a temporary rest?
Zhao Wuxian was injured.
Ah!
It’s good news!
But what does it mean to take a break and rest?
Not going to Beijing?
If Zhao Wuxian doesn't come to Beijing, when will his 10 million taels arrive?
Now everyone in the court is waiting for the money to be made!
Zhao Xu's face was gloomy.
He held the secret letter in his hand, read it again, and sneered, "You are lying about recuperating from injury, but you are really asking for favors from me!"
Obviously, Zhao Wuxian was very dissatisfied with the attack and was protesting indirectly in this way.
Zhao Xu took two steps forward, speechless. Was Zhao Wuxian really trying to take advantage of every opportunity to blackmail him?
He discovered that whatever Zhao Wuxian did was for the sake of gaining benefits.
Whether it was the Gusu Lu family, the battle of Xiangyang, or the subsequent game, he was the one who suffered losses.
It's so weird and outrageous!
Damn!
Zhao Xu couldn't help but curse in his heart, who were those people who had provoked Zhao Wuxian?
Didn’t you see that I’m scared?
If you want to provoke him, you have to wait until 10 million taels of silver arrive in Beijing!
The money was not received.
Are you going to go against Zhao Wuxian?
This is not only an attack on Zhao Wuxian, but also a slap in his own face and a robbery of his own money!
Zhao Xu was furious and said, "Summon Zhuge Zhengwo and Cai Jing to the palace to meet the emperor!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Zhuge Zhengwo and Cai Jing arrived in a hurry.
Zhao Xu sat on the chair.
He sat upright, his face stern, his sharp eyes fixed on Cai Jing.
Cai Jing felt this gaze and his heart skipped a beat.
After all, Zhao Xu didn't hide the look in his eyes that showed he wanted to stab someone at all.
Just staring at him.
If Zhao Xu was at the second level of innateness and his gaze could kill people, Cai Jing would have died hundreds of times by now.
Cai Jing lowered his head.
He felt a chill down his spine and felt uneasy.
what happened?
I have been very low-key recently!
He didn't even get involved in things like impeaching Zhao Wuxian.
How could Cai Jing become the Minister of Revenue, a powerful official in the court, be a fool?
His talent and intelligence are beyond doubt.
Knowing that Zhao Xu had changed his mind, why would he go against the current and get himself into trouble?
For this 0 ....
He has been claiming to be ill recently and has been staying at home, refusing to see visitors.
The atmosphere in the palace was depressing.
After a moment, Zhao Xu looked at Zhuge Zhengwo and said, "Shen Hou, do you know that someone has tried to kill Prince Jing?"
Zhuge Zhengwo raised his head slightly and said, "I know!"
Cai Jing was stunned.
What, someone tried to kill Prince Jing?
It dawned on him.
No wonder Zhao Xu looked like he wanted to chop someone down.
Killing Prince Jing is not important.
The important thing is that Prince Jing is escorting 10 million taels.
Whoever touches Prince Jing now will be Zhao Xu's enemy!
Cai Jing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
Zhao Xu glanced at him and asked, "What are you accusing of?"
Cai Jing shouted: "God can see that the killing of Prince Jing had nothing to do with me, an old minister."
Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said angrily: "It has nothing to do with you, does it have anything to do with me?"
Zhao Wuxian postponed his entry into the capital, surely waiting for the imperial court to appease him, which was tantamount to nurturing an enemy for his own benefit.
But Zhao Xu had to appease her.
