Chapter 165: Head Down and Seeing Duke Huang Again
He Zong was surprised, “You mean the Flower Moon Society?”
“Or else?” Zhao Su coldly related, “Lord He has always been high and mighty, and has never thought that he would also have a day when he was overwhelmed by a woman, right?”
He Zong said, “You are blackmailing me!”
“No one is blackmailing you! You can refuse.” Zhao Su raised the imperial decree in his hand again. “But Lord He is also dead-eyed, the money to be used for the Flower Moon Club will not cost much, that is, you really can’t get the money, and you won’t look for Lord He to ask for it, the court is going to allocate to the Ministry of Public Works has its own Ministry of Households scheduling, aren’t you clearly trying to thwart the empress dowager’s determination? If you have a practical reason to stop is just, on the contrary, is to make things difficult, is not this thing today, will not happen to other things?”
He Zong clenched his teeth again and again. In the middle of the day, he said, “What do you mean by this, if I don’t let Fang Qingxue’s folding pass, you won’t give in?”
“Although I don’t want this either, even if I want to give in, I have to make it comfortable in my heart! Think about it yourself, is what I said earlier the right thing to do? Can’t a woman also make a contribution? Cheng’s hard work to support the family after Master Wu’s death is not worthy of the title of inner master? Lord He has seen a lot of things, so why can’t he look at things from a different perspective? Isn’t sticking to one’s self a bigotry?”
He Zong’s face tightened.
Zhao Su waited for another half a moment without seeing him take a stand, so he sighed, “Think about it, I’ll return to the capital first to resume my orders.”
“Wait!”
He Zong called her to a halt and inhaled deeply to look over, “Old Husband can promise you!”
“Oh?” Zhao Su raised an eyebrow, “Lord He should think about it, don’t back out on it then.”
“Stop nagging!” He Zong said, “I’m not so bad as to go back on my word with a little girl like you. Go in and help the Ministry of Industry to finalize things, after returning to the capital I will naturally honor my promise.”
“Then you should make a note to save yourself the trouble.” After Zhao Su finished speaking, she asked Hua Qianrong to find a pen and paper.
He Zong glared at her, but there was nothing he could do about it and followed her through the door.
……
Every morning, the emperor will not stop dealing with the government, after lunch, things continue to be busy, things are not much on the book playing chess writing, or pass the Hanlin Academy’s bachelor to come to the feast lecture.
Four happiness today as usual wait for him after lunch, and then served him tea, see him toward the west hall, guess it is not busy, then hastily put the Luo Han bed to spread, invited him to the seat.
The emperor closed his legs, looked at the tea on the kang table, looked up and asked him, “Has He Zong come back?”
Si Xi bowed: “I haven’t heard any news from the front gate yet.”
The emperor paused briefly and added: “What about retainer Zhao?”
“Servant Zhao hasn’t returned either.”
The emperor then put the cup down, one side of the elbow on the table, holding the fan in his hand weighing around.
Four Happiness looked at him and probed, “Is the emperor not worried that guard Zhao will do something bad if he goes?”
The emperor’s hand stopped and raised his eyes to look at him, “When have you seen her do anything bad?”
Four Happiness paused, thinking about it like this lately it seems like there really hasn’t been. He bowed his body down again, “Then the emperor is worried that guard Zhao is in conflict with Lord He?”
To talk about conflict, Zhao Su has had too many fights and quarrels with people lately!
The emperor weighed his fan, but did not say anything.
Four Happiness also dare not ask more questions, can only pursed lips in the side stand.
A moment the emperor stood up, shuffling shoes in the house pacing up and down, pacing two circles, he stopped under the curtain bar: “On the imperial garden walk.”
Seeing that he was already pacing towards the door, Si Xi hurriedly followed him up, greeted the palace staff to follow him up, and smoothly took the fan on the kang table for him.
There were two masters in the palace court, and they were still a long way away, and there weren’t even many palace people walking along the way. To put it nicely, it is empty and quiet, to put it directly, it is empty, not much popularity.
“Have the several palaces on the east road not been inhabited for a long time?”
The emperor said as he walked.
Four Happiness thought for a moment and then replied, “Ever since the Emperor ascended the throne, the east side has been empty. The west side here since Yanping County Lord left, only Ci Ning Palace that piece of lively some.”
The late emperor is still at that time, no, the king of Qin has not been out of that time, the palace is only called lively, the emperor and queen are in, the palace at any time to see the figure of the three emperors, and then the king of Qin is out of the palace, the palace gradually cold down, and then the dowager queen to Yanping Sheriff Lord passed into the palace, but again lively, but with the end of the king then south, and then quieter, —. Lively originally is the king of Qin Wang Duan Wang, the emperor played a small quiet, with him without him in fact not too much difference.
It is also until recently on the face of more smiles, looking at some juvenile.
Speaking of which, the four joys can not help but recall, since Zhao guards into the Qianqing Palace, the palace is also lively, even because of her arrival, the emperor’s face more out of the expression, are in all likelihood is from Zhao Su. Looking at the emperor again before and after – together with this coldness today, it was actually because of the loss of vitality due to Servant Zhao’s absence?
Even the emperor is not used to this calmness in the palace when Zhao Su is not around?
He took small steps forward: “Servant Zhao doesn’t know martial arts, and I don’t know if it’s safe to go here, Your Majesty, should I send word to the guards to go to Cangzhou to assist in assisting Servant Zhao?”
The emperor slowly said, “When the guards go there, I’m only afraid she’ll be back.”
“Then ……”
Four Happiness’ words only took off, but the emperor in front suddenly stopped and turned back, “Where is Han Jun?”
“Should be in the Forbidden Guard Department at this moment.”
The emperor looked at the eaves in front with his hands folded, took a few more steps forward, and finally stopped at the tunnel. “Tell him to find a few guards who are familiar with the terrain of Cangzhou and accompany me on a trip out of the capital.”
Four Happiness was startled: “Your Majesty, you’re going out of the capital?”
Didn’t he say that when they went, Squire Zhao would be back soon?
The emperor turned around and walked back, swishing his eye blade straight to his face, “Shouting so loudly, is not wanting to head?”
“The little one does not dare! But Emperor you ……”
“The public said I have contracted a wind chill, to rest for two days, all the courtiers who come to seek an audience, all first sent to Lord Yao’s place. There are urgent matters, let Yao Ting first forwarded to the Empress Dowager to decide.”
“…… Yes!”
……
He Zong, this bad old man is stubborn, but he does things with a sense of humor. After Zhao Su turned into the house, he really wrote down the note, and then also took out his personal seal and stamped a private seal down.
Zhao Su of course does not go back on his word, and Cheng Yunhui mother and daughter side has long been greeted, her side of the matter is done, Cheng Yunhui naturally have nothing to say.
Each other agreed to go to the governor’s office the next day to sign the paperwork, today the Cheng family mother and daughter still have time, it is possible to think about what places need the Ministry of Public Works, or the court to help solve the problem.
After sending off He Zong them, Cheng Yunhui kindly invited Zhao Su to stay at home, but Zhao Su felt that the paperwork has not yet been signed, it is not appropriate to get too close to them for the time being, so he still went back to the post house to stay, but it was after lunch before leaving.
