For some reason, Tang Rui shivered.
His intuition told him that he had to leave immediately, or something unimaginable would happen.
But curiosity was also driving him, and he found himself walking in that direction.
When Tang Rui walked over, Yuan Ziyan happened to recognize him.
How could Yuan Ziyan know the prime minister's son?
His rank was certainly not high enough; he had only seen Tang Rui from afar. Yuan Ziyan, who had always wanted to curry favor with Tang Rui, naturally wanted to remember Tang Rui's appearance.
Yuan Ziyan immediately shouted in his hoarse voice, "Young Master Tang, what an honor to have you here!"
Everyone else turned around as well, and Wang Qi hurriedly said, "It's Young Master Tang! I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner! Please forgive me!"
As soon as Tang Rui arrived, Wang Qi immediately put away his previous arrogance, and even Shangguan Qi dared not be negligent and quickly bowed.
This man is no ordinary person; he is the son of a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and even the president of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce has to bow deeply to him.
The Tokyo Chamber of Commerce may seem impressive to outsiders, but in front of the powerful and wealthy people of Tokyo, it's nothing at all.
Tang Rui asked, "What happened here?"
Yuan Ziyan immediately said, "Young Master Tang, you've come at the perfect time! There's someone here who's insulting everyone on the spot, including the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce, and showing utter disrespect to you, Master Tang!"
Haha, you're dead meat now! This guy is the son of the current prime minister. Let's see how you act all high and mighty now!
You've offended the current prime minister; your whole family is doomed!
Yuan Ziyan spoke first, and Wang Qi frowned. He immediately said, "Young Master Tang, this is nothing but a petty person, but his words have indeed offended you, Prime Minister Tang. We have already sent someone to report to the authorities..."
Tang Rui frowned, wondering how his father had gotten involved in this situation.
You should know that my father has always been a low-key person. He usually stays at home except when he goes to the palace to work. He eats hot pot in winter and drinks iced drinks in summer.
Otherwise, how could he be so plump? His body is certainly commensurate with his mouth.
My father rarely shows his face, so why are we talking about him here?
Tang Rui looked over curiously, and what he saw...
He was terrified on the spot!
It's like a million alpacas are galloping through my mind.
What's wrong with me, Tang Rui? Ever since I almost made a big mistake when I met the Emperor at Chunhua Tower, I've been staying at home obediently ever since.
I finally managed to get out of the house!
Damn it! I ran into him again!
Tang Rui's expression froze for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he hurriedly walked over and bowed respectfully. He was about to speak when Zhao Huan stopped him.
Wang Qi was taken aback, Shangguan Qi was taken aback, and Yuan Ziyan was completely stunned.
That...that's the prime minister's son!
The others around were even more puzzled. Just now, the young master of the Wang family was exceptionally polite to the young man who came in, but the young man who came in was even more polite to the young man in white!
Based on this, the young man in white must have an even more noble status.
But just now, the young master of the Wang family wanted to take him to see the officials?
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely quiet.
Zhao Huan acted as if nothing was wrong, while Tang Rui started sweating in the cold weather.
Your Majesty, why are you out again?
Tang Rui wanted to say it, but the words stuck in his throat.
Zhao Huan continued, "You've come at the right time. Call Tang Ke over."
What arrogance! How can the current Vice Minister of State act like your subordinate?
Before Tang Rui arrived, everyone looked down on Zhao Huan.
But now, everyone is looking at Tang Rui, the prime minister's son.
Normally, Tang Rui is the person they talk about the most among these rich kids. They dream of currying favor with him. To them, Tang Rui is a real big shot.
Zhao Huan frowned: "Summon Xu Churen here as well, and Shao Chengzhang too!"
Holy shit! Who the hell are you?!
Why don't you just go to heaven?!
Everyone had doubts.
Do you think they'll come just because you tell them to?
Do you know who Tang Ke and Xu Churen you just mentioned are?
One was a Vice Chancellor, and the other was a Grand Chancellor!
You really think you're the emperor!
Zhao Huan then pointed at Wang Qi and said, "Go and summon all the members of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce. I want to see them today, and I don't want to miss a single one!"
Wang Qi was practically going crazy, while Shangguan Qi on the side was completely dumbfounded.
Tang Rui mustered his courage and asked, "May I ask why you summoned my father here?"
"I just want to ask everyone clearly what exactly the Jiaozi (paper money) value preservation fee is, who set it, why there is such a value preservation fee, and why I haven't heard of it before?"
Zhao Huan's words left everyone baffled.
If you don't know about the Jiaozi (paper money) value preservation fee, you can ask us. You'll need to call everyone from the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce, and also two prime ministers.
You're really asking for trouble!
Upon hearing this, Tang Rui turned pale with fright. He knew about paper money, but he had never heard of any paper money preservation fee.
His father hadn't mentioned this, so how did a "paper money preservation fee" suddenly appear?
This is bad!
This emperor was always stubborn and inflexible. He didn't care about anything else; if he felt something was wrong, he would just bring it up in the open.
I don't care about your face or not. You sons of bitches, now that things have turned out like this, all of you get out here and explain yourselves. Stop hiding and dodging. I'm too lazy to play guessing games with you guys anymore!
The paper money is related to the court's finances. I am now on the verge of bankruptcy, and Yue Fei is about to go to war. If the paper money is not implemented immediately, how am I supposed to pay the soldiers?
By obstructing the implementation of paper money, aren't you putting me in a very difficult position?
Since you want to put me on the fire to roast, I will of course let you taste what it's like to be roasted by fire!
Tang Rui quickly replied, "I'll go call them right now!"
Wang Qi almost vomited blood. Tang Ziming, you are the son of a Vice Minister of State Affairs, how could you go crazy with this idiot!
You still want to call your old man here to see this lunatic?
Zhao Huan stopped him: "Sit here."
Tang Rui was slightly taken aback, standing there motionless.
"sit down!"
Tang Rui sat down obediently.
"Have someone else call them."
Tang Rui hurriedly said to Zhang Yang, who had come with him, "Go quickly and call my father here. Tell him that an official surnamed Zhao sent him. My father will definitely come if he hears this. Then go quickly and call Master Xu over!"
Zhang Yang was Tang Rui's best friend. He knew that Tang Rui was a very serious person and didn't joke around easily.
Judging from Tang Rui's current demeanor, this matter is likely very serious.
He immediately turned around and ran out to the stable, grabbed his horse, and ran off.
Shangguan Qi could tell that this young man was someone important, someone he absolutely couldn't afford to offend. He quickly went out, grabbed his horse, and headed towards the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce.
Zhao Huan put aside everything else for today and waited here for everyone. He wanted to see what the value preservation fee for the paper money really meant!
