The next morning, Feng Bao sent a young eunuch to bring Master Zhao to the palace to show the film to the Crown Prince.

Zhao Hao took the projector with the last episode of "Calabash Brothers" and followed the young eunuch named Sun Long into the Forbidden City.

Zhu Yijun has lost his appetite since last night, and his mind is full of the ending of the story.

He had been waiting at the gate of Yikun Palace, riding on Feng Bao's neck, with his hands on his back, looking around, and singing in a strange voice:

"Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven flowers on one vine. Not afraid of wind or rain, la la la la. Ding dang dang dong dong dang dang, Calabash Brothers..."

Our Eunuch Feng is a very artistic eunuch, how could he stand such a devilish sound? While silently enduring it, he secretly complained that Master Zhao was good in everything except singing out of tune, and he made the prince sound like a donkey...

Fortunately, Zhao Hao arrived as promised, and the little fat man stopped singing. He suddenly stepped on the horse's back and said, "Gee!"

Eunuch Feng, who was two points short, trotted forward.

"Ouch!" The little fat man grabbed the bun on his head, and the old gelding quickly stopped. Because the steel fork hat was prickly, Eunuch Feng always rode with his head bare.

"Good morning, Your Highness." Zhao Hao saluted with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, you are finally here!" Zhu Yijun tried to get close to him and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Are you waiting for this?" Zhao Hao smiled and showed the projector. Because changing the film reel was too troublesome, he always loaded the film at home in advance and brought the machine directly.

"Yes, yes." Zhu Yijun bent down and grabbed the projector, saying excitedly, "I can't wait to see Qi Wa and his snake-evil mother!"

"Uh..." Master Zhao was so embarrassed. Why did this kid have such weird values?

"Gee!" The fat boy couldn't wait to pull Eunuch Feng's left ear, and the old gelding turned left obediently and carried the prince in to watch a movie.

Zhao Hao was about to follow when he heard someone behind him call out, "Mr. Zhao, please stay."

When I turned around, I saw it was Chen Hong.

"It turns out to be Eunuch Chen." Zhao Hao hurriedly bowed politely.

"His Majesty invites you. Please come with us quickly." Chen Hong winked at him.

Zhao Hao thought to himself, are we that familiar with each other? But now that everyone is watching, he is not worried that the eunuch will cheat.

"Don't worry about the prince. I have already informed Eunuch Feng." Chen Hong did not expect that Zhao Hao would be so wary of him.

"That's good." Zhao Hao then smiled with relief and followed Chen Hong to the Qianqing Palace.

Walking in the corridor under the tall red wall, seeing that there was no one in front or behind, Chen Hongfang whispered to Zhao Hao: "Young Master Zhao, relax a little. My family and Master Shao are close brothers."

"Oh, so that's it..." Zhao Hao showed a look of realization, and said with a brilliant smile: "Mr. Chu Xiu and I hit it off right away, and we call each other brothers."

"Then we are brothers." Chen Hong took advantage of the situation. Who wouldn't want to get to know the God of Wealth?

"As long as you don't mind." Zhao Hao looked flattered, completely ignoring the fact that the other party was in his forties and older than his father.

"Haha, how could that be?" Chen Hong smiled and covered his mouth. "Chu Xiu always speaks highly of you, and the Emperor also often thinks of you. It's a blessing for us to be friends with you."

As he said this, he lowered his voice and told the emperor the reason why he summoned Zhao Hao. At the end, he reminded him softly, "I serve the emperor, and I know the importance of Mr. Gao. Sir, do you understand what to do?"

"I understand." Zhao Hao nodded heavily.

"In short, this time, His Majesty wants to invite Prime Minister Gao back no matter what, and no one can stop him." Chen Hong glanced at Zhao Hao. As the Chief of the Imperial Household Department, he was not there to do nothing. He had heard about the feud between Zhao Liben and Gao Gong a long time ago.

"So, sir, you should just go with the flow and try to turn a disadvantage into an advantage."

Zhao Hao nodded politely again and said, "Your Excellency has really helped a lot. I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

"Hey, I want to make friends with you, but I don't want any reward." Chen Hong flicked the whisk in his hand and suddenly said with a smile: "Sir, if you really want to repay me, just teach me how to show the movie."

"Oh?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Master also has the attribute of staying at home?"

"Ah?" Chen Hong was stunned. "What is that?"

"Nothing, it's a force that can bring world peace." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Of course no problem, I have an animator at home, sir, please send a craftsman over and he will learn it in no time."

He said with a look of regret: "But the technology is not perfect yet, and there are no scripts suitable for adults."

"It's okay, it's okay. The adult book is ready, and there are the best painters in the palace..." Chen Hong realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly stopped and said, "There are other young masters in the palace who are also clamoring to watch animation. It's not good to trouble you, young master, right?"

"Really?" Zhao Hao's thoughts wandered. He was still wondering if it was the future Princess Shouyang or Princess Yongning. If the princess of the Ming Dynasty wasn't really worth investing in, he could have someone draw a "Flower Fairy".

If Concubine Li also likes it, we can produce a Jin Dynasty version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" for her to help her improve her professional skills.

~~

While daydreaming, I arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Longqing summoned Zhao Hao to the East Warm Pavilion and spoke frankly about his thoughts.

Then I asked him, "It is said that your grandfather has an old grudge against Master Gao. Do you feel uncomfortable after hearing what I said?"

The emperor now wants to pull Zhao Hao to Gao, so the conflict between the Zhao and Gao families must be resolved. Although Buzz Buzz feels that he is not very capable of settling things, he still wants to give it a try to see if a miracle can happen.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am terrified, and even more terrified for my grandfather!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao immediately shouted, "Although my grandfather has retired, he still worries about his king even though he lives far away. This sincere heart has never changed. When he heard that Lord Gao had stepped down two years ago, he cried bitterly and almost fell ill!"

"Ah?" Long Qing's eyes widened. "There is such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhao Hao swore, "Others also found it strange and said to him, 'Didn't Gao Gong have a conflict with you? You should be happy.' But my grandfather replied that although he had some conflicts with Gao Suqing, it was just a personal conflict. In terms of official affairs, he admired Gao Gong very much. The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is like a cicada and a cricket, and only Gao Gong can make a breakthrough and usher in the new."

As he spoke, he looked up and said sincerely with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa said that he was worried about the country and cried for his king and father..."

"Really? I've never met Minister Zhao. It's really a great regret in my life." Emperor Longqing's nose was sore when he heard this. He thought, how could there be such a good minister? This time, he must persuade Master Gao to control his bad temper.

He excitedly promised: "When Master Gao comes back, I will make sure they put aside their past grievances and continue to work for the Ming Dynasty!"

Mr. Zhao was shocked when he heard this. He thought, "Oh no, I used too much force." How could the old man be reinstated? Not to mention that he is already seventy years old, the key point is that he is still full of shit... If he comes back to be an official, won't he become a target of the censors?

He quickly sealed his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your love. But my grandfather is old. When he talks to someone for half an hour, he has to ask the person's name eight times and even fall asleep twice..."

"Is that so?" Long Qing said with some regret: "Then let the old man live out his days in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Young Master Zhao thanked him profusely, and then expressed his opinion generously: "Your Majesty wants to reinstate Mr. Xuan. I, your grandson, fully support it. I am willing to go to Xinzheng to meet Mr. Xuan in person, to resolve the past grudges with him, and to persuade him to think about the affairs of the country and his father, and not to stay out of it!"

"Really?" Long Qing didn't expect Zhao Hao's attitude to be so correct, and he was immediately very happy.

"No joking in front of you, my lord!" Young Master Zhao replied seriously.

"Good, very good!" Weng Weng looked at Zhao Hao happily and said, "I will write a letter to Master Gao later, asking him to receive you well and to make peace with you as before."

"I will never let Your Majesty down!" Zhao Hao nodded heavily.

"What a good child! He must be rewarded handsomely!" Long Qing slapped the table excitedly.

This is why he likes this kid, because his words always work for him. He and his disciples have a kind of loyalty to him that comes from the bottom of their hearts, which is not seen in those officials.

"It's a pity that my daughter is still too young, otherwise I would have to make him my consort." The emperor thought secretly, but fortunately, I still have a niece...

But this matter has to be decided by his sister, he doesn't have the courage to say anything.

Then give me some money, uh... Weng Weng thought to himself, compared to him, I am just a poor guy.

Give him another official position? If he is promoted again, he will be higher than his father, which is not appropriate. Then give his father a promotion? A very simple official position is not worth much, and people will definitely not like it...

At that moment, Longqing felt extremely humble. As an emperor, he could not even give a decent reward.

Just when he was feeling sad, he heard Zhao Hao say sympathetically: "I, your humble servant, have the audacity to ask for a reward on behalf of all the shareholders of Jiangnan Group. Your Majesty, please grant me a calligraphy work!"

"Oh, this..." Longqing thought this was simple, but he always felt that just writing a few words was a bit too shabby.

"The reward for writing remains the same." Zhao Hao added.

"No problem!" Emperor Longqing smiled brightly and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "Isn't it just writing? Write as much as you want, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

There were always supplies of pens and ink in the warm room. Chen Hong quickly ground the ink for the emperor and took out the cut gold-sprinkled rice paper from the nanmu cupboard.

Emperor Longqing then wrote twenty or thirty characters according to Zhao Hao's request...

Jiangnan Investment Group, Jiangnan Development Company, Jiangnan Financial Company, Jiangnan Bank... all the companies listed by the group were included. Even the Jiangnan Power and Jiangnan Precision Instruments, which had not yet appeared, were written in advance.

Although the emperor was so tired that he could not even lift his arms, he felt as happy as if he had drunk honey and could not stop smiling.

Because he received a total of 300,000 taels of silver as a fee, even Chen Hong, who was serving on the side, received 20,000 taels of silver as a service fee.

Of course, the emperor also knew that this money was a tribute from the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

This means that those guys with bad intentions are finally going to put their minds at ease and stop breaking the law.

It seemed that I could finally sleep more peacefully without having to play hide-and-seek among the twenty-seven beds.
