Chapter 833 836. Goodbye
Hua Shunming pointed to the date on the back of the memorial and said, "I summoned him back to the capital just to give him a hint, but this old fox has already guessed it.
He submitted this soap recipe to assure our royal family that he, Gu Wenheng, had no rebellious intentions and was unwilling to get involved in the struggle for imperial power.
But he still underestimated me, I..."
The conversation got stuck here, and Hua Shunming felt that he was not being loyal enough. In the past few years, he had refused the share from Haimao several times, but he finally accepted it.
As for the soap recipe, he had already looked through it when the other party wrote it in the memorial, and now he was letting the prince take a look at it, as if he had already taken it for himself.
Hiss, this really damages his image as an emperor.
But the temptation here is too great. Even if he is the richest man in the world, he is still poor and his private treasury is not even full.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed as if Gu Wenheng had really guessed him completely, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
"Old fox, he is really an old fox," Hua Shunming suddenly looked at Hua Zhang with a complicated expression, "I don't know whether it is good or bad to put such an old fox by your side, but the only thing to be thankful for is that this person has a righteous heart, and for the people of the world, he will only do his best."
As for whether he would plot against the emperor? Hua Shunming patted Hua Zhang on the shoulder and said affectionately, "I will teach you everything that the emperor should teach. With your intelligence, even if you don't expand the territory, it is enough to maintain it.
As for the emperor's grandson, it's time for you to find a few good mentors for him. When the time comes, just name them and I'll help you check them out."
Hua Zhang: “...Yes.” He was despised before he even ascended the throne. Should he be glad that his grandson was still young?
The little grandson who just learned to climb mountains and walk, "..."
"Then Lord Gu..." Hua Zhang still remembered the purpose of this trip.
"You can help with this matter, but don't get too involved," Hua Shunming did not expect that the prince would come directly here, so the original plan had to be changed.
The Crown Prince is filial and is able to have such a great temptation placed directly in front of him, unlike the Fifth Prince who is planning to hide behind and make a fortune in silence.
Comparing the two, Hua Shunming is more satisfied with his choice.
"As for this memorial, you can take it back." Hua Shunming pointed at the memorial in the prince's hand. Anyway, the world would be handed over to the prince in the future, and there were some things he didn't want to keep in his hands.
Hua Zhang suddenly felt that the object in his hand was a little hot, and his tone was a little anxious, "Father, your son..."
"Today I will give you another one. You are the crown prince, and the world will be yours from now on, but you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
The national treasury belongs to the whole world, and is watched by the ministers of the court and the people of the world. If you, as the emperor, want to have some decision-making power, this is indispensable in addition to the military power. "Hua Shunming pointed to the memorial and reminded the prince.
Although it was a bit shameless to take over these things from Gu Wenheng, he was a very poor emperor and had too many places to spend money.
After all, he still had to save some face. Hua Shunming coughed lightly and said, "You should remember Gu Wenheng's loyalty in your heart and show him some grace when the time is right."
Hua Shunming gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. The benefit was accepted by the prince, so he would be the one to repay the debt later. It was such a happy decision.
Hua Zhang: "...As ordered."

Jin Qianqian's people retreated quickly, and when Meng Haotian and his men went to the workshop, it was already empty.
Looking at the empty workshop, they stood there, at a loss.
After spending so much manpower and financial resources, you get nothing and may even offend others.
This was like a bolt from the blue for their families, which were already on the verge of collapse.
"Did we come to the wrong place?" Huang Muen felt his hands and feet go weak, and asked with his last hope.
"Did you run to the wrong place? Don't you know?
Now everything is over, we all lose." Li Cong gritted his teeth, regretting deeply in his heart, why did he follow these people to get involved?
Even if your assets in Yongchang County are greatly reduced, you can still live a rich life.
It's all my fault for being too greedy and wanting to return to my former glory, but now I have nothing.
This place had been under surveillance since they first arrived in Beijing, so there was no reason for such a big mistake to happen.
“You said the news hadn’t leaked out, but look, everyone has run away.
We only told Lord Bai that we have been going in and out together these days, so the problem must be on his side." Wu Nanping looked grim, but he immediately found an excuse.
To be honest, he was the one who first proposed this plan. He knew he was not capable of accepting the anger of the other families, so he could only divert the blame elsewhere.
"So what? We can still run over and confront him." Meng Haotian shouted, "Even if he doesn't get the emperor's approval, he is still a first-rank marquis.
Now, we should think of a way out quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Meng Haotian asked them with a cold face, "Don't you find it strange that we are always one step behind?"
“…”
"Gu Wenheng and the others were able to be one step ahead of us. Didn't they have anticipated this?" Meng Haotian didn't think that Bai Jinglie would trick him. The most plausible scenario was that they had fallen into the trap set by Gu Wenheng long ago.
They were the same as before, making mistakes step by step without realizing it.
I thought this time it would be a surprise, but I didn't expect the same result.
"You bastard, what should we do now?" It would be difficult to protect themselves. If they were asked to pay money to avoid disaster again, the wealth of several people would not be enough to bear it.
Huang Muen, "I suddenly remembered that my nephew in Yongchang County is going to get married soon. It will be bad if I, as his uncle, am not there for the wedding.
I'll leave these matters to you, I'll set off today."
After saying that, he quickly left with his people. Li Cong laughed and said, "Who would believe his lies? When his second brother just passed away, they wanted to take all the family property in their name. They would eagerly attend the wedding banquet..."
As he said that, he slapped his thigh and cursed loudly, "This bastard, he ran away first..."
Meng Haotian, “This is indeed a solution. If you want to leave, just leave quickly.
But we have offended Lord Bai, so we dare not come to Beijing again.
As for whether or not you will be punished later, that depends on your luck."
Li Cong, "Does it matter whether we run or not? I'm afraid that even if the four of us kneel before him and let him vent his anger, it may not be enough to stop Lord Qingbai's wrath.
In this case, I might as well spend a few days in Shangjing, which can be regarded as the last enjoyment before death. "
Meng Haotian glanced at Wu Nanping, "What do you think?"
Wu Nanping, "We've done our best and left the rest to fate. Our families had already been arranged before we came here. Now it depends on who has the better skills.
Patriarch Meng, Patriarch Li, I bid you farewell. I hope to see you again in the future."
