Chapter 164 cold
“You are falsely accused!” He Zong angrily said, “The emperor is wise, how could he believe your words? How has Lao Fu ever forced her to step down!”
“You’ve let people go back to their mother’s house to recruit, but you’re still not forcing them to step down? Lord He is a tough talker!”
He Zong had always dealt with people who wanted decency, and he knew best how to deal with them. But this Zhao Su straight to the point, completely not in the point that he is good at coping with, he in addition to sinking his face is only left to stare at the part!
“Old me was just giving her an idea at the request of Grand Master Cheng, according to their family’s situation, the best way is for their daughter to recruit a family member and then give birth to an heir to take over the family’s business, what’s wrong with that?”
“You want to insist that it’s right, then you see if people are convinced?”
Cheng Yunhui heard this and came over, “Although I am a woman, I still have dignity and honor, your honor just asked my daughter to go down and take over the family, you are telling me what to do based on my status, where is the sincerity of the negotiation? On the contrary, it is this Miss Zhao’s courtesy, did not force me to force me, it seems to have come with sincerity. Lord Shangshu, why don’t you please return.”
He Zong had never been so humiliated, and immediately said angrily, “You womanizer, how dare you act so rashly! This imperial decree only says that it agrees with Zhao Su to look for the dockyard, it does not say that she should take over the presidency, not to mention that even if you talk to her, the Ministry of Public Works will also be the one to handle the matter in the future, is there any point for you to do so?!”
Zhao Su raised the decree and said: “He adults, I can not do things, does not mean that others can not do, rather than worry so much, or first worry about their own bad job, turn back can not stay in the Ministry of Public Works Secretary’s seat again say it! If you dislike the ‘woman’s family’ is not good to talk, then you go to find a man in charge of the dockyard ah!”
He Zong was so angry with her that he was about to roll his eyes! But being angry would only make him look incompetent, thinking that if he went back like this, the emperor’s side would not be able to give an explanation, and if this matter was really let by Zhao Su, then where would he put his face? He a majestic court for many years of the minister actually worse than a yellow hair girl, how can this make people convinced?
He said offhandedly, “Don’t you dare to talk nonsense here!”
“Bumped the nail in front of a woman and finally got annoyed, right?” Zhao Su laughed coldly, “You often put the woman can not do things, can not show their faces as an officer of this kind of words on the mouth, but now you open your eyes to look carefully, Wu family such a large industry, Wu master father and son passed away around the same time, if not relying on the Cheng big head of this weak woman to support, today would still want to have such a strong shipyard? You He Shangshu again capable, still not have to obediently run hundreds of miles to women to help?
“In the future, if you, Mr. He, is in the same situation, you still have to rely on the women of your He family to support the facade? Can you, Lord He, still crawl out from underneath the ground and set up your own house?
“I really don’t know where you men have the cheek to do this! The family, country and world are all yours, and the credit goes to you, and the evolution of civilization has half the credit for women! Do you believe that as long as you men don’t get in the way, women can do half of the work under the Great Liang? It’s only natural that you’ve met your match in front of women!”
He Zong had never been scolded by someone pointing at his nose like this?
He stumbled and could hardly stand up!
Zeng Peiying immediately rushed to support them, He Zong gasped like a bellows, trembling, pointing at Zhao Su, “You simply, you simply–”
Simply what, but couldn’t say any more.
Zeng Peiying felt that he could not do without saying something, one side assisted He Zong, one side angrily said, “Zhao Squire, you are now facing the court’s second-ranking officer, you do not have to be rude!”
“Don’t all of you sour showmen say that courtesy is the best thing to do? He claimed that women are useless and that women affect the court, has he been courteous to me? I put out the facts and say a few words and you call that rude? Why don’t you just admit that you are shameless!”
Zeng Peiying was also attacked and retreated back.
Zhao Su held the imperial decree and looked at them for a while, then turned around and said to Cheng Yunhui, “Da Dangjia’s deep sense of righteousness, I wonder if he is willing to take on this job of building sea ships for the court?”
Cheng Yunhui smiled and nodded, her eyes shining brightly, “Concubine is willing to promise Miss Zhao!”
Zhao Su turned back to look at He Zong and the others, “See? Without a man like Lord He stepping in, we got things done! I’ll go back and tell the Emperor what happened, the credit is all taken by you men, this time I’ll take the credit and see!”
“You stand still!”
He Zong immediately voiced out.
Zhao Su turned around, “Is there anything else, Mr. He?”
Of course He Zong had something to do! The Ministry of Public Works and the Emperor know that he is coming to Cangzhou, he is a second grade minister, he is in charge of the Ministry of Public Works, and he returned in defeat, how can he hold his head up in the future? Not to mention Zhao Su also threatened to go to the palace to sue him – other people sue him not afraid, Zhao Su sued him, he can not help but be on guard, she has done the bastard thing is not less?
He raised his foot and walked to the door, looking at Zhao Su: “Servant Zhao looks like he came prepared this time, can you tell me what it is you’re after?!”
Zhao Su blinks his eyes, “I don’t understand this, Lord He, the imperial decree is clearly written, I’m not here to find the dockyard?”
He Zong clenched his teeth, it would be strange to believe her! Seeing the tacit understanding between her and the Cheng family’s mother and daughter when she came in, she knew that both of them had contacted each other a long time ago. She didn’t even try to hide it! He said, “If you want to claim the credit, I can report you to the Emperor, but the negotiations with the Cheng family must be completed by the Ministry of Public Works under my leadership!”
Zhao Su looked at him, “On what grounds?”
He Zong inhaled deeply and gritted his teeth, “Dynasty politics is not child’s play! I know I’m loathed by you, but if I leave the Ministry of Public Works, do you think the next person to take over will be a good person? This time to build the sea fleet so big things, involving before and after a number of years, will continue in the future. The silver invested will also be countless. Do you think there won’t be people who take advantage of the opportunity to mooch off people? There are plenty of such people!
“I’ve been an official for many years, so I can at least say with a clear conscience that I’ve never accepted a single silver or two! Furthermore, with my He Zong’s prestige in the dynasty, I can also dispel many such thoughts. Old me hopes that Squire Zhao will not get carried away and misuse the situation!”
Zhao Su raised his lips, “Lord He is begging me?”
He Zong’s face huffed again. But he still couldn’t couldn’t press on, “What conditions do you have, why don’t you tell us?”
“What conditions can I have? What does your He family have that our Marquis of Qingyun doesn’t? I still don’t care if you bribe me?” Zhao Su looked at him. Seeing his cheeks bulging more and more, she said, “Now Lord He also knows what it’s like to be blocked?”
He Zong glared over, “What does that mean?!”
Zhao Su smoothly sat down on the door pier, “You’re so smart, would you not be able to think of what you’ve done? How many times has Minister of Rites Fang Qingxue approached you?”
