Even though Zhao Ningxiu was so tough, when he heard that it was the emperor's father who had stolen his business, he couldn't help but let go of the rolling pin in his hand and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Xu Xian spread his hands and said, "What can I do if the emperor can't do anything about it?"

He didn't believe that Chai Rong didn't know what his father was doing in Luoyang. With Chai Rong's character, he definitely didn't want his father to be such a scumbag, but he had always ignored it, obviously he had some scruples.

It is inhumane to kill one's father to kill his father, and disobedience is listed as one of the ten evils. Chai Shouli is not the "uncle" in name, but everyone knows that he is the emperor's biological father. If Chai Rong takes care of Chai Shouli, he will inevitably be detained.

Put on the unfilial hat.

Chai Rong had nothing to do, and Xu Xian had nothing to do. He asked Chen Yonggui to rush to Luoyang. In addition to subsidizing the murdered shopkeeper and clerk, he also discussed Luoyang's business with Chai Shouli. If Chai Shouli was willing to be a distributor, he would leave it to him.

He didn't come to compete with Xu Xian for business, so there was no need to enmity with him.

I originally thought that no yamen would dare to take care of this kind of thing, but I never expected that someone would impeach Chai Shouli when he went to court the next day. It was none other than the upright and upright seventh-grade censor Li Dai who called himself "Little Wei Zheng".

Apparently Li Dai also had some concerns. He didn't stand up until the court was about to end, and his tone was very vague, "I have something important to report to your Majesty!"

Chai Rong, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, said: "Ai Qing, just tell me!"

Xu Xian, who was standing outside the hall, immediately became interested and wanted to see Chai Rong's attitude towards this matter. He turned to the window and looked into the hall, only to hear Li Dai say: "Guanglu Qing Chai Shouli robbed a store in Luoyang.

Killed the shopkeeper and the clerk, and burned down the warehouse..."

Before he finished speaking, several people in the palace shot murderous glances at Dai Li. Han Lingkun snorted and interrupted Li Dai, "Your words have been verified. Talking nonsense in court is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"

Li Dai seemed to have lost the courage he had in the past. "The lower official only heard about the matter, and has already sent documents to Luoyang for verification." His eyes still glanced at Chai Rong on the dragon throne from time to time.

Chai Rong, who had always been brave and decisive, actually avoided looking at Li Dai at this moment. His face was flushed not with anger but with embarrassment. He murmured twice and said: "Retreat from the court." Then he immediately stood up and ran away.

He left quickly, leaving behind only Li Tingfang's sharp, drawn-out voice, "Back - toward -"

The officials exited the court, turning their heads to look at Li Dai from time to time. Some looked at him with admiration, others mocked him, and some even held his collar to threaten him.

"If you dare to talk nonsense in the court again, I will kill you!" Han Lingkun said, throwing Li Dai to the ground and leaving in a big way.

Xu Xian helped Li Dai up and patted the dust on his back, "Is Li Yushi injured?"

Li Dai thanked him and said, "It's okay to be demoted. Thank you so much, Marquis Yu."

"I also admire Li Yushi's courage for daring to impeach Chai Shouli. Don't you know where he came from?"

Li Dai said with a bitter face: "I served in Luoyang before. How could I not know his background? I went to the court many times to impeach him, but he led his men to beat him up. I have the courage to go to court today."

I brought it up, thinking that His Majesty would take care of it, but I never thought... Sigh..."

"Your Majesty also has his own difficulties. This kind of thing is not easy for anyone to deal with!"

Li Dai cupped his hands and said: "In the past, I thought Marquis Yu was also a bully who used his power to bully others. I didn't expect that today I would be thrown into the ground by powerful ministers. Only Marquis Yu did not avoid suspicion and came to help me. Li had misjudged the person before."

"Haha, to be honest with Li Yushi, the shop that was robbed in Luoyang belongs to me. If you impeach Chai Shouli today, you are standing up for me. It doesn't matter if I help you!"

Li Dai frowned and said, "Is that deal yours? If you hadn't told me earlier, stay away from me. If you didn't know, you would have thought I took your money." As he spoke, he pushed Xu Xian away and shook his robe.

Xiu walked towards the palace gate.

"Who the hell is this person!" Xu Xian cursed and returned to the back room. Before he entered the door, he heard a crackling sound inside. Xu Xian quickly went in and saw tiles and papers scattered on the floor. Chai Rong was holding a sword.

He chopped the table in front of him, with veins popping on his forehead. He looked a bit ferocious and kept cursing in his mouth: "You are shameless, so why should I be ashamed? I even blocked the memorial for your impeachment in the past.

This time I will simply throw myself into disgrace at the court meeting and ask how I will face the ministers in the future..."

After chopping continuously for a quarter of an hour, Chai Rong stopped. A huge gap had been cut out of the fine table top, and debris was scattered all over the ground. If this table table belonged to Chai Shouli, it would have been chopped into minced meat. It can be seen that the wood on the table top was chopped into minced meat.

Rong hated this biological father who failed to live up to expectations.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the back cabinet had long since been scared away. Only the trembling Li Tingfang cleaned up the scattered memorials on the floor. Old Mu Tou sat on the chair with a calm face. Seeing Chai Rong stop, he persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be angry again."

Well, be careful if your anger destroys the dragon's body. Chai Shouli has such a good character. When the late emperor was here, he sent someone to secretly admonish him twice before he felt better. Your Majesty cannot always tolerate him."

Perhaps even Fu Empress would not dare to say this, but Old Mutou dared to say it. Chai Rong was stunned and silent after hearing this, not knowing what he was thinking.

When Old Mutou saw Xu Xian coming in, he said, "You have read the book and said a few words of truth to comfort His Majesty."

Xu Xian pondered for a moment and stepped forward and said: "As a relative, Chai Shouli disrespected the laws and set fire to kill people. If he is not punished severely and it damages His Majesty's reputation, he should be punished as a warning to others."

"Bah!" Old Mutou spat, "I asked you to comfort His Majesty, how could you add fuel to the fire?"

Chai Rong raised his head and looked at Xu Xian, "I didn't see that you are still a critic!"

"I am just discussing the matter. Killing someone to pay for life is the right thing to do. A prince who breaks the law should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone a tyrannical relative."

Chai Rong slowly stood up while holding his lower right abdomen, "You have killed a lot of people!"

"I never kill people indiscriminately. The shopkeepers and clerks are also His Majesty's subjects. They work hard to pay taxes to Your Majesty, thinking that they can get His Majesty's blessing. Now that they are being killed innocently, Your Majesty will turn a blind eye?"

Chai Rong's face turned red and he snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know that it's your business!"

"Your Majesty is wise, that is indeed my business. Unfortunately, they died in vain for their service. I could not avenge them and had to pay for their families. However, as their father, Your Majesty just let it go. I am really sorry for the taxes they paid to me.

"

The veins on Chai Rong's face were popping, and his face was as red as a boiled shrimp, as if it was about to burst at any moment.

Old Mu Tou stood up and pushed Xu Xian away, scolding: "In these troubled times, there are too many innocent people who have died in vain, not least these few. Do you think His Majesty is just appeasing Chai Shouli? Which of the sons of the other nine people is not a powerful minister or high-ranking official?"

, how do you tell His Majesty to deal with it!"

Chai Rong suddenly sighed, and the blush on his face slowly faded and even turned a bit pale, "You must be laughing at me in your heart, but if you sit in my position, you will know that the emperor is not omnipotent. You don't want to

Are you going to accompany your mother-in-law to give birth to the baby? I don't want to see you these days, so I will leave the front office to Yin Chongke to take care of it, and I will come back after the baby is born."

Xu Xian was probably the first man in history to take maternity leave. Since Chai Rong didn't want to see him, he was happy to hide at home and relax. He never expected that the matter would not end there.

While he was cutting bamboo to feed the pandas at home, a flower boat sailed along the Bianliang River into Kaifeng City. The silk and bamboo in the cabin were melodious to the ears, and ten old men held incense and jade and raised their glasses to drink happily.

A fat old man opened the window and looked along the river, "They say Tokyo is dirty, but now it seems no worse than Xijing."

A skinny old man next to him said: "Tokyo is indeed dirty and messy. It took my son to clean it up and it became what it is today." He looked quite proud.

The fat old man said: "It's just demolishing houses and building new ones. My son will go on an expedition with His Majesty this year to conquer Yangzhou and Taizhou in succession. This is his real skill!"

Yes, these two are the fathers of Han Lingkun and Wang Pu respectively. The remaining old men are not simple either. Their sons are either Jiedu or left behind. Even if they are not good enough, they have to be a governor. It is not easy for the son to go to this if his official position is low.

Get together in the circle.

As for the man sitting in the middle reaching out to touch the woman's arms, it is Chai Rong's biological father Chai Shouli. He is in his sixties and looks about half the same as Chai Rong. He wears a purple round-neck robe, a white jade hairpin on his head, and his hands are full of gold and jade.

How luxurious.

The king's father said: "Brother Han, please stop bragging. You think I don't know that although your son captured Yangzhou and Taizhou, he was so frightened that he wanted to withdraw when he heard that the Tang army was coming. If the emperor hadn't sent someone to cut off his rear

Road, maybe they have surrendered to the Tang State."

Han's father said: "That's nonsense. My son is loyal to Your Majesty. How could he surrender to the enemy? If you continue to make random arrangements about my son, I won't spare you!"

"What can you do to me!" Wang's father was not easy to deal with either. Jiu Jin was about to roll up his arms and sleeves and start a fight with Han's father.

"Stop!" Chai Shouli shouted, "I'm so old, I don't have the look that an elder should have."

This voice really worked. Han's father and Wang's father immediately stopped their hands and humbly apologized to Chai Shouli. Chai Shouli bowed generously and forgave the two of them. This posture was like that of an emperor. Although he did not have the name of the Supreme Emperor, he had the title of the Supreme Emperor.

In fact, he was even more carefree than most of the emperors in history.

Chai Shouli stroked his beard and said, "Don't forget what we are doing on this trip. Remember to be as low-key as possible when we get ashore. I don't want to disturb His Majesty."

Although Chai Shouli and Chai Rong are biological father and son, they have not seen each other for several years, especially after Chai Rong ascended the throne, he was kept in captivity in Luoyang to avoid suspicion.

Chai Shouli was also a sensible person. He knew that Chai Rong didn't want to see him, and he had never set foot outside Luoyang. If it wasn't for something very important, he wouldn't have come all the way to Kaifeng.

"Call that guy up, I have something to tell him!"

Two sturdy servants came out of the cabin and soon escorted a man in. It was Chen Yonggui who was sent to Luoyang by Xu Xian. However, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen at the moment, and even his own mother would not recognize him when she saw him.

Even though he was abused, Chen Yonggui still behaved very humblely. He limped and knelt down to Chai Shouli, "I pay my respects to Sikong!"

Chai Shouli said: "You know how to be polite! Xu asked you to come to Luoyang to discuss business with a certain person. I thought he was somewhat sincere, but I never thought that he would do something to his face and behind his back, so he turned around and went to the censor to impeach me.

That’s why I had to come to Kaifeng to talk to him.”

Chen Yonggui forced out an ugly smile, "We, Marquis Yu, are His Majesty's most trusted ministers. We could not be more loyal to Your Majesty, and our sincere respect for Sikong is not fake. When we heard about what happened in Luoyang, we immediately asked the villain to bring generous gifts.

Go and deal with it. I think there must be some misunderstanding!"

Father Han slapped the table and said: "There is no misunderstanding! My son saw Xu Xian instigating the imperial censor to impeach Sikong. When he was in Luoyang, he took care of that Li Dai. He never thought that he would not be honest when he came to Luoyang, so he might as well find an opportunity to impeach him.

Forget it." A group of old men heard this and agreed.

Chai Shouli said to Chen Yonggui again: "Get off the boat and tell Xu that I will come to Kaifeng to find him in person. If he doesn't give me an explanation, I won't give up."

Chen Yonggui knew that he couldn't explain clearly, so he had to promise again and again. Chai Shouli waved his hand and a servant immediately took him out.

Father Wang said: "I heard from my son that the man named Xu is also quite capable and ruthless. I don't know if he will agree to our conditions."

Father Han snorted heavily, "What can he do if he doesn't want to? How can he still rebel? I heard from my son that that guy is quite good at running a business. He was the one who started Xincha. Now Xincha has been taken over as official property and is making profits every year."

No less than two million pounds. As the new wine business expands, there will only be more. If we hold it in our hands, we will worry about not having to spend money in the future."

Chai Shouli said: "We are on the verge of death and how much can we spend. We are not planning for our children and grandchildren. I will leave this deal to your majesty in the end. If the imperial treasury can receive an extra two million yuan every year, it will save your majesty."

A lot of heart.

Although I didn't get along with His Majesty much, I knew that he was an honest and upright person, so I had to take action myself to let Your Majesty know that this biological father of X is no worse than the late Emperor. Of course, the benefits of each of your families will not be less.

Understand."

Father Han wiped his dry eyes with his sleeve, "What a pity for the parents in the world. If His Majesty knew about it, he would be deeply moved, and he might even respect you as the Supreme Emperor!"

No, definitely not. Chai Rong will not be so stupid as to deny his legitimacy. Even if Chai Rong is really eager for the new wine business, he will do it himself. There is no need for Chai Shouli to get involved. Not only will he not be moved, he will only feel

Even more embarrassing.

After landing, Chen Yonggui ran to Xu's house like crazy and told Xu Xian, who was sleeping on Abao's belly, the news of Chai Shouli's arrival. Xu Xian sat up when he heard the words and was stunned for a while before saying: "What is he doing in Kaifeng?"

?”

Chen Yonggui said: "He said that Marquis Yu instigated the imperial censor to impeach him, and he wants to find an explanation from you!"

"That's weird!" Xu Xian slapped his thigh, "He is here to steal my business. He may not be the only one behind the scenes. He may even be pushed out as a gunman! Unexpectedly, I haven't done this business yet.
