Not long after Emperor Wen and his companions left, Jia Yao rode his horse up to Yun Zheng.
Jia Yao got off the horse and looked at Yun Zheng with a smile: "How is it, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
"Very long face!"
Yun Zheng laughed, "Father just said that he would reward you later!"
reward?
Jia Yao's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked with a smile: "You won't refuse to give me the reward given by my father, right?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said jokingly: "Oh, if there is a reward, then he is the father emperor, if there is no reward, then he is your father emperor?"
Jiayao's pretty face turned slightly red, and she explained palely: "Didn't I just not get used to it before?"
"Yeah, I believe it."
Yun Zheng laughed, "Let's go, let's go back first! Don't worry, I don't even look down on the reward that the emperor gave you."
...
...
"That's more like it!"
Jia Yao smiled with satisfaction.
Although she didn't know what Emperor Wen would reward her with, she knew that no matter how bad the reward was, it would not be too bad.
For her, any money she can earn is good money.
She didn't dare to compare herself with Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng has Yun Li as his victim and can exploit him as much as he wants. He can easily get millions of taels of silver. Just thinking about it makes one envious.
As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.
On the way back to the headquarters, Yun Li and Emperor Wen both looked unhappy.
Yun Li originally wanted to ask what Emperor Wen talked about with Yun Zheng, but seeing that Emperor Wen looked strange, he did not know how to open his mouth.
After returning to the camp, Emperor Wen lay down on the bed to rest, and dismissed everyone, leaving Yun Li alone.
"You've been tricked by the rebellious son Lao Liu again..."
Emperor Wen sighed softly and looked at Yun Li with a lonely face.
"this……"
Yun Li was stunned, "I don't understand what the emperor means."
Emperor Wen sighed and said, "Old Six is afraid that you will just grab Meng Yunqi and throw him to him, and let him go to Meng Yunqi to collect the debt himself, so he used the bet to make this matter a reality! Now, you can't help but help him collect the debt..."
Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Yun Li's heart suddenly jumped.
yes!
I can easily catch Meng Yunqi and throw him to Yun Zheng!
In this way, wouldn’t Lao Liu have no excuse to lead his troops to collect the debts?
Damn it!
Why didn’t I think of this?
"I am ashamed!"
Yun Li lowered his head, his face full of shame.
"Is this something to be ashamed of?"
Emperor Wen glared at Yun Li in anger, "Do you think Meng Yunqi can come up with two million taels of silver? If he can't come up with it, and you lost the bet in public, where do you think the money will come from?"
Where does the silver come from?
When asked by Emperor Wen, Yun Li was suddenly stunned.
Yes, where does this money come from?
Two months, two million taels of silver!
Since Meng Yunqi can’t take it out, he will have to pay for it first!
It’s over!
As expected, I was cheated by that bastard Lao Liu again!
"Your son...your son..."
Yun Li buried his head tightly, tears almost falling out.
Although he helped to advance the money and Meng Yunqi could pay him back slowly in the future, who knows when he would pay it back!
"well……"
Emperor Wen sighed helplessly and said quietly, "You should be more careful in the future! If you continue like this, even your uncle will probably suspect that you are supporting Lao Liu in various ways..."
Yun Li opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Aid the enemy!
Aren't you just aiding the enemy?
How could I be the prince?
It’s obviously the tax officer of that bastard Lao Liu!
Frustrated, angry, helpless...
Various emotions intertwined in Yun Li's heart, making Yun Li almost burst into tears.
"Okay, it's done. There's no point in regretting it now."
Emperor Wen squinted at Yun Li and said, "Although you are seven years older than Old Six, you are not as good as Old Six in terms of strategy and intelligence! I hope that when you weaken the powerful families and clans, you will use your brain more and hone your skills more!"
Yun Li nodded heavily: "I will definitely train hard and never let my father down!"
"Um!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly and asked again: "How do you think we should reward Jia Yao?"
Um?
Emperor Wen's question suddenly made Yun Li a little confused.
How to reward Jiayao?
Need I say more?
It must be just a token of my appreciation!
Could it be that he wants to reward Jia Yao handsomely?
Won’t the rewards given to Jiayao eventually become Laoliu’s?
How big is the difference between rewarding Jia Yao and aiding the enemy?
I understand such a simple truth, so there is no way my father doesn't understand it, right?
But my father still asked this question.
What on earth does he mean by this?
Yun Li was filled with doubts and tried hard to figure out Emperor Wen's intentions.
As he was thinking about it, Yun Li's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that the emperor wants to... win over Jia Yao?
If Jia Yao is to be rewarded handsomely, it seems that this can only be the reason!
But the problem is, even if Jia Yao is rewarded handsomely, those rewards will not fall on Jia Yao!
Or maybe...
Yun Li thought hard for a while, and asked tentatively: "Father wants to provoke a conflict between Lao Liu and Jia Yao by rewarding Jia Yao heavily? Let Jia Yao do something behind the scenes to help us contain Lao Liu?"
If Yun Zheng snatched the generous reward given to Jia Yao by his father, Jia Yao might be dissatisfied, right?
This is the most reliable answer Yun Li could think of.
“I do have this idea.”
Emperor Wen showed deep worry on his face. "It's already difficult to deal with Lao Liu alone. If Jia Yao is added, it will be even more difficult! As the ruler of a country, I shouldn't have these thoughts. I should think about making my country prosperous for eternity! But now, Lao Liu is too threatening to the court! Lao San, what do you think I should do?"
Emperor Wen's face was filled with helplessness and helplessness, as well as a hint of pain.
Yun Li saw it and thought secretly in his heart.
It can be seen that my father is struggling internally.
He wanted to check and balance Lao Liu through Beihuan, but he didn't want to sacrifice the territory that Dagan had already occupied.
Yun Li thought for a long time and sighed: "Father's idea is of course good, and I understand your difficulties, but this matter may not be as you think! The Sixth Brother's army is at its peak, and Jia Yao may not have the courage to stir up trouble behind his back!"
Yun Li frowned, and his words were a mixture of truth and lies.
If possible, he even hoped that a large-scale rebellion would occur in Beihuan or even the Northwestern Protectorate.
Now, his own life is seriously threatened, how can he care about those territories that are not under the control of the court?
But he also knew that as the crown prince, he definitely could not say such words.
However, he was indeed afraid that Jia Yao did not have the courage to deal with Yun Zheng.
If Jia Yao had the courage, why would she endure the national hatred and family feud and marry Lao Liu?
If Jia Yao didn't have the courage, all his father's ideas would be in vain.
"Well, your concerns are also what I am worried about."
Emperor Wen sighed helplessly and began to think silently again.
After a long while, Emperor Wen sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's wait and see what happens! I'm tired, so I'll leave the matter of rewarding Jia Yao to you. You can decide how to reward her..."
As he spoke, Emperor Wen waved his hand tiredly, signaling Yun Li to leave.
"I'll take my leave."
Yun Li bowed, but he was secretly worried.
How to reward?
Having said that, a big reward is definitely out of the question!
But the reward promised by my father cannot be too bad.
At least it has to be presentable!
