Chapter 163: Catch and Beat
The emperor increased the night patrols, firstly to give face to the crown prince, the successor,
and secondly, he still trusted the master Mingdeng's skills.
He finally made up his mind to do something, but Minister Zhao insisted on singing the opposite tune.
What made the emperor hold a grudge was that it was so troublesome for Minister Zhao to move the money earned by Minister Zhao for the national treasury.
Now most of the money in the national treasury was the credit of Xuntao, and had nothing to do with Minister Zhao.
Therefore, even if the money earned by others entered the national treasury, Minister Zhao would manage it the same as the money of his Zhao family.
It can be imagined that the emperor's patience with Minister Zhao was really poor.
When the emperor had something to say about Minister Zhao, Minister Zhao thought too much and acted
like a loyal minister in front of the palace gate, saying that the emperor was not a wise ruler who could listen to unpleasant advice.
Minister Zhao smeared the emperor's image so much, and the emperor didn't give Minister Zhao face.
It was really a pity that Minister Zhao was usually cautious and liked to clean up his mess.
If the emperor caught a little braid, today's matter would not be over.
"This Minister Zhao is so bold."
After hearing about this, the prince was speechless about Minister Zhao.
Really, when he was thinking of ways to make money, he had never seen Minister Zhao so active.
Before, the national treasury was so empty, but Minister Zhao was not so anxious as he is today.
So, now, thanks to Zhu Xuntao, there is more money in the national treasury, and
Minister Zhao feels that he can rest assured, and no one can shake the position of Minister, so he starts to show off his power as Minister?
"Heh."
Xiao Jingzhan sneered: "Eating from the emperor, but not worrying about the emperor, Minister Zhao is not worthy of being an official."
In Xiao Jingzhan's eyes, Minister Zhao is just picking up Zhu Xuntao's efforts and enjoying Zhu Xuntao's blessings.
If there is no glass business, Minister Zhao will only be frowning now, thinking about how to make more money in the national treasury.
Today, where did he get so many little thoughts to sing against the royal family.
Looking for trouble!
The prince sighed:
"Jingzhan, you and I know what kind of person Zhao Shangshu is."
"Father has no choice but to use Zhao Shangshu."
"Although he is dissatisfied with Zhao Shangshu, he cannot rashly take action against Zhao Shangshu."
"These old foxes have complicated personal connections in the court, and the intricacies among them cannot be told to outsiders."
"If father rashly cleans up Zhao Shangshu, he will be forced into a desperate alley. By then, Zhao Shangshu will definitely become Wei Shoufu's man."
In fact, even if Zhao Shangshu has not yet surrendered to Wei Shoufu and looks like a neutral party.
But in fact, the emperor and the prince do not agree with Zhao Shangshu's heart.
If Minister Zhao was not from the same faction as Minister Wei, why did he tell Minister Wei about Zhu Xuntao's existence?
Minister Zhao pretended to be rich and powerful and could not indulge in debauchery because he was jealous of the royal family and wanted to please
everyone. "You must let Jing Shen learn skills from
Zhu Xuntao." "I don't want to see officials like Minister Zhao again."
When the prince mentioned Minister Zhao, his tone was more undisguised than the emperor's.
Eating corpses and being content with one's position.
If the time was not ripe, it would not be so easy to get rid of either Minister Wei or Minister Zhao.
Otherwise, the prince would not want to keep any of them.
Don't tell him that there are no fish in clear water.
What's the matter? People like Minister Zhao should not be allowed to stay.
"Don't worry, Prince. If Jing Shen doesn't study hard, Tao Tao will not let Jing Shen go."
Minister Zhao was indeed too much.
Minister Zhao was not so stingy with his own money.
But when it came to using the money in the national treasury, Minister Zhao was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Many times, Minister Zhao gave people the feeling that the reason why he was reactionary was not that he really thought that what he wanted to do was not worth it and did not need to use the money in the national treasury.
Instead, it was more like someone used the money in the national treasury and took the money out of Minister Zhao's pocket.
Every penny spent was not the money in the national treasury, but Minister Zhao's own money.
In this way, Minister Zhao's attitude was naturally disgusting.
Thinking of Zhu Xuntao, the prince's mood, which was disliked by Minister Zhao, improved a little:
"That's right, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother."
"What's wrong with Jingshen? She just teaches Jingshen, and I will support her in everything."
Understanding the meaning of the prince's words, Xiao Jingzhan smiled complacently:
"Prince, you are too suspicious."
"If Taotao is willing to teach Jingshen, your mother will be happy to see it."
"From the first day Taotao married into the Marquis's Mansion, your mother told Taotao that she could take care of the children at home."
"If anyone dares not listen to Taotao, Taotao will just beat him. A filial son is born under the stick."
"If Taotao still can't control these naughty monkeys, it doesn't matter. Tell her that she will do it herself. Whoever dares to escape will be beaten by her obediently."
"She is willing to catch the man for Taotao, and then let Taotao beat her."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem did not exist between his mother and Zhu Xuntao.
His mother liked Zhu Xuntao as a daughter-in-law very much.
"Really? Don't lie to me."
He knew how much his aunt hated Zhu Xuntao in the past.
Many times, when he went to the harem to visit his mother, he happened to see his aunt complaining to her that his grandmother and grandfather were stupid and
could not choose Zhu Xuntao as such a terrible fiancée for Xiao Jingzhan.
There are so many famous ladies in the capital who are praised by everyone, and which one is not better than Zhu Xuntao.
If Xiao Jingzhan really married Zhu Xuntao, Xiao Jingshen would certainly be held back by Zhu Xuntao.
The prince didn't know how other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law get along.
Anyway, his concubine came to pay respects to his mother every time, and his mother would not be like his aunt.
So the prince was sure that if Zhu Xuntao could really marry Xiao Jingzhan in the end,
she might not be able to live a good life after marriage.
Yongjing Marquis Mansion and Xiao Jingzhan are not a good destination for Zhu Xuntao.
As if seeing what the prince was thinking, the queen advised the prince to let everything go with the flow.
In the heart of every mother, her own child is naturally the best in the world.
In addition, compared with others, Xiao Jingzhan is so outstanding.
It's no wonder that the marquis' wife is unhappy that Zhu Xuntao, who is inferior to others in every way, suddenly has to stand next to Xiao Jingzhan.
After the two got married, the Marquis' wife could only accept this fact.
Also, people grow up. If Zhu Xuntao grows up and becomes sensible in the future,
with the way the people in the Marquis's mansion do things, Zhu Xuntao's life will be much better than the prince imagined.
How could the queen not know the situation of her own family?
She felt that her sister-in-law was just a soft-hearted person who complained to her a few times.
The queen advised so much, and the prince listened to it. As for whether the prince listened or not, only the prince himself knew.
But today, Xiao Jingzhan told the prince that the Marquis' wife was willing to catch the naughty child and beat Zhu Xuntao herself.
