Chapter 554: Kneel Down, Zhao Zhong Takes the Poisonous Hand
"Why haven't you come yet after waiting for the imperial edict?"
"It's been more than an hour."
"Are you angry?"
"..."
In the spacious room, a group of businessmen were as uncomfortable as ants on a hot pot.
Wang Tiande was sitting on a chair, drinking tea with a full belly, very calmly.
A Liao merchant came over in a hurry, "Old Wang, what does waiting for an edict mean?"
Wang Tiande said calmly: "It's not interesting."
"I couldn't help what happened last time! Besides, didn't Wait Zhao win in the end?"
The last time Shen An and Liao made a bet over the formula of fragrant dew, everyone thought that the Liao envoy would definitely win, so their stance wavered.
"Now the goods I'm waiting for are all stuck... I can only get half of the goods before. Lao Wang, I can't survive!"
"Who can't survive?"
Following this voice, Shen An and Zhe Ke walked in.
"Awaiting the edict..."
The Korean businessman rushed over with tears in his eyes, as if he were seeing his long-lost parents.
"stop!"
Shen An saw that he wanted to hug him, so he shouted.
But the Korean merchants rushed over persistently.
Choking!
The sound of the sword being unsheathed almost sounded, and the sword was blocked in front of Shen An.
Zhe Kexing's hands were very steady, and the Korean businessman suddenly stopped and blocked his chest with his hands, stopping the momentum of his body just before the long knife was about to touch.
Shen An glanced at these businessmen and said with a smile: "You are going to invite someone to dinner today, but you have something to do?"
The businessmen shook their heads and said, "Nothing, nothing."
If you have nothing to do, just eat.
The food and wine were served in a stream, and they were all top quality.
Shen An concentrated on eating, and when he was almost done eating, he said with satisfaction: "It's not bad."
The businessmen looked at him eagerly and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Unfortunately, these wines and dishes are the most expensive in Fanlou. Eating this meal will probably make an ordinary businessman bankrupt.
The standard by which businessmen measure value is money.
How to show sincerity in treating guests?
price!
Shen An burped and said, "Thank you very much, farewell."
"Awaiting the edict!"
The merchants were unable to swallow their food just now because they were waiting for news from Shen An.
But after this man finished eating and drinking, he was ready to run away with just a swipe of his mouth.
What's the difference between this and picking up your pants and walking away?
"What's wrong?"
Shen An looked at them and said calmly: "Do you want someone to pay the bill? Come here!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare!"
When the businessmen saw that his attitude was wrong, they became anxious. Someone ran over and pushed away the guy who came in.
The door slowly closed, and Shen An said coldly: "Where is the swordsman?"
Puff puff!
The businessmen all knelt down.
"Waiting for the imperial edict, last time we were obsessed with things. The Liao envoy also threatened us, saying that we were not allowed to be with you... We had no choice but to have some relations with them, but they were superficially inseparable and we were bedfellows. ah!"
"Taizhao is like our reborn parent. The idiot who is the envoy will definitely have someone mess with him after he returns. If he can't be killed, his reputation will be discredited..."
Liao merchants were all criticizing the Liao envoys, and other merchants were even more unambiguous.
"The Liao ambassador is narrow-minded, and he also has body odor. The smell makes you dizzy and dizzy when you get close to it. It's unbearable!"
"His guy is still young and pitiful... Last time we went to the toilet together, the villain saw him. Hey! It's unsightly to look at, it's unsightly to look at!"
"..."
These people are full of ugliness, and their purpose is just money.
Shen An said calmly: "You are very fair..."
The businessmen all raised their heads, with tears on their faces.
Wang Tiande got up and walked to the door, looking around.
Chen Luo appeared, and he nodded to indicate that no one was eavesdropping.
"Businessmen... For businessmen, making money is the first priority, and everything else has to come later. It is instinct for businessmen to value profits."
The merchants all shouted: "Thank you for your understanding."
Shen An nodded slightly and said: "Let's eat today. You can kneel down later...it's not appropriate, that's all. The prince of the Song Dynasty has just entered the palace. This is a happy event celebrated by the whole world..."
"Yes, yes, it is a happy event that there is a successor to the Song Dynasty."
The speaker was a Korean businessman.
Shen An glanced at him and said, "When someone talks, just listen."
Sweat immediately appeared on the Korean businessman's face, and he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands.
"This is a happy event, but underneath the happy event there is tragedy. This is not good, very bad!"
Shen An said: "Futian Courtyard... Since it is a happy event, it is natural that the whole world should celebrate it."
He nodded slightly and left the room.
A group of businessmen looked at each other, and someone asked: "Isn't Futian Court a place to raise orphans and beggars? There are also disabled people."
"yes!"
The Korean businessman said in despair: "It's very miserable."
"It is a happy event for the prince to enter the palace."
"So the tragedy has to be eliminated."
"How much do you want to donate?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and Wang Tiande was not there, so they didn't feel confident.
"Stop talking about...five thousand strings."
The one who spoke was a businessman from the Liao Kingdom. The Xixia businessman took a sip and said, "He offered a reward of 50,000 guan for a prescription... 5,000 guan. Why are you sending a beggar away?"
Everyone was confused, and then a wave of grievances came up.
"The envoys of Liao forced us to obey, and now we are being forced again. How come doing business is so miserable!"
A group of wealthy businessmen were feeling sorry for themselves. For a long time, someone said: "Ten thousand guan, at least I can round it up and use the prince's reason for entering the palace. It's not a taboo."
"This is blackmail!"
The businessman who spoke was looked at by everyone, and the look was like looking at a dead person.
"Combine the money. Pay according to the number of goods taken, from most to least."
…
Wang Tiande followed Shen An and said in admiration: "The King of Beihai is very good at chess. You can beat him. Later, there will be rumors in the capital about your versatility."
"It's just ordinary."
Shen An pretended to compete lightly, and then said: "I didn't want to give these businessmen a good look, so I took advantage of the situation and played a game of chess with Zhao Yunbi to show them off, otherwise so-and-so would ignore him."
Only then did Zhe Kexing realize that Shen An had agreed to play Go on purpose. Thinking of Zhao Yunbi's embarrassment, he smiled and said, "The King of Beihai County is an unforeseen disaster."
Zhao Yunbi didn't know that he was being used as a tool by Shen An. He was half drunk at home, and then said quietly: "Zhao Shu and the Queen are not getting along..."
The horse face of the staff member Zhang Wen wrinkled and he said: "Prince, if you don't agree with us, we will not be able to interfere with the follow-up matters."
Zhao Shu has been established as the successor, and there is nothing he can do if Empress Cao is dissatisfied.
There was an unknown coldness in Zhao Yunbi's eyes: "The prime ministers and assistants have not taken responsibility. The queen is just like the rain. Who is in charge in this court?"
Zhang Wen looked at him and took a breath, "The prince is saying..."
It is said that Zhao Zhen has three advantages and two disadvantages... There is a lot of chaos in the court, and this is an opportunity.
Zhao Yunbi raised his wine glass, his eyes dark, "I didn't say anything."
Zhang Wen was so smart that he smiled bitterly and said: "Prince, be careful."
Zhao Yunbi didn't speak, just drank one cup after another.
"I'm not convinced... I'm better than him, why? Why?"
Zhang Wen knew what was going on in his heart: Zhao Zhen almost saluted him back then, and that moment was forever etched in his heart, and the discomfort would gnaw at his heart every night.
That boy actually grew up alive and became an emperor.
It shouldn’t be!
This kind of pain is difficult for others to understand.
Zhao Yunrang also had a spare tire back then. He was in so much pain that he yelled and cursed all day long to vent his dissatisfaction.
His son Zhao Shu also worked as a spare tire, and then suffered a lot.
They all have one thing in common: after seeing the majesty and majesty of the royal family and its superior power, their hearts moved.
Take action when your heart moves.
Since it is a spare tire, then perform well and wait for the day when the substitute is successful and leap over the dragon gate!
But Zhao Shu failed and was driven back.
A young man who thought he would become an emperor was sent home to live an ordinary life... How many people can endure such a huge psychological gap?
In addition, his experience in the palace was not good, so he suffered a lot in his heart and finally became a psychopath.
Zhang Wen sighed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He was about to resign when a person came outside and said, "Shen An met with those businessmen from other vassals for a drink. Not long after they came out, those businessmen went to Futian Courtyard and donated 10,000 yuan."
Boom!
Without looking back, Zhang Wen knew that it was Zhao Yunbi who smashed the wine glass.
"For fame and reputation! He wants to use the donations from these businessmen to bolster his own family. He is shameless!"
Zhao Yunbi had a cold face. If Shen An appeared in front of him, he could bite off a piece of that guy's meat.
The visitor said in astonishment: "No, those businessmen said they were celebrating the entry of the prince of the Song Dynasty into the palace and the establishment of a national foundation in the Song Dynasty..."
puff!
Zhang Wen seemed to hear the sound of Zhao Yunbi vomiting blood behind him. He waved his hand and waited for the person to leave before turning around and saying: "Prince, calm him down!"
…
Zhao Zhen also received the news, and he said calmly: "What does Shen An mean?"
Zhang Ba said: "Those merchants favored the Liao envoy at first, but Shen An reduced their goods afterwards... Also, Shen An met some other merchants from other vassals a few days ago, so they panicked."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "This is the art of war. You can conquer the enemy without fighting. By insinuating yourself, you can make those businessmen look ugly. I also gave 10,000 yuan to Futianyuan... I said he is a famous general, and it is indeed good."
"Guan family, the prince is here."
Zhao Shu apologized as soon as he came, "There is no reason to celebrate when I enter the palace, but I feel ashamed to accept the good intentions from outside."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "As long as you are willing, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Shen An just found a reason to trick those businessmen.
"That young man... is a trap!"
pit?
Zhao Shu was puzzled, so Zhang Bian explained the reason for this matter.
It was indeed a trap, not only did it trap those businessmen, but also a certain person by the way.
Zhao Shu smiled bitterly in his heart and told Zhao Zhongzhen about it after returning.
"This is just to tease those businessmen. Dad, Futianyuan got money and built momentum for you."
Zhao Shu nodded and saw that he was making a fuss, so he said, "Let's wait for a few more days."
Their family had just entered the palace not long ago, but it was difficult for them to get out.
Zhao Zhongzhen agreed. Later, when Zhao Shu went out, a chamberlain came in and said, "Young gentleman, what do you want for dinner?"
This person's name was Qiao Er, and he was assigned to Zhao Zhongzhen as a personal attendant. He looked serious, but secretly communicated with the outside world.
Such a fool who eats everything inside and outside!
Zhao Zhongzhen said casually, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net When the food came later, he only took a few bites and said, "I don't want to eat it."
Qiao Er smiled and cared about his health for a few words, and then led others to remove the food.
Zhao Zhongzhen held the tea cup and said quietly: "I heard that you like to eat chicken legs?"
Qiao Er couldn't hear what he said, but when he went out, he took the big chicken leg away and gnawed it as he walked.
"As expected, I'm so unlucky that I won't even eat such delicious chicken legs."
Qiao Er became constipated the next day.
What does it mean?
He was a little confused. He used to have a bowel movement every day, why didn't he have a bowel movement anymore?

The third update is here, good night!
