Chapter 383: Being a person must have principles

Sitting is not the same thing. The two of them are silent, one is waiting for the answer, and the other is thinking about answering, and they are all guessing about the other person's thoughts.

"Cough cough..." After a long time, Chen Ao coughed dryly.

Zhao Ji said: "What? Have you thought about how to reply?"

"No." Chen Aoda said shamelessly: "I just have a little itchy throat."

"You..." Zhao Ji shook his head, and suddenly felt that it was unnecessary to get angry with him. If you really want to get serious with him, you will be too angry for three days and three nights.

Chen Ao glanced at Zhao Ji and said tentatively: "I am...ah, no, can the student call Your Majesty "Master-in-law?"

This means that whether An Ning or not is your own choice is to do it.

"No!" Zhao Ji answered very firmly and said with a stern face: "You already have a wife, An Ning can't marry you."

"Oh." Chen Ao nodded, then closed his mouth again and stopped talking.

Seeing that he had no movement for a while, Zhao Ji said impatiently: "How do you give me an explanation?"

Chen Ao widened his eyes and said, "What else can I explain? If you don't marry your daughter, I can't marry you, so what can I explain?"

Zhao Ji lost his words. Although Chen Ao's words are bold, they are not unreasonable. An Ning doesn't marry, so what else can he explain? He can't explain it even if he wants to explain it. Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and said, "But An Ning is still on the sickbed now. After recruiting a bride, his condition has become worse. Is this your fault?"

Chen Ao sighed and said, "It's my fault, please forgive me."

"Hmph, then how should you deal with the aftermath?"

Chen Ao's hands were filled with a pool of hands: "The best way is to send six gifts to marry someone home. Your Majesty, you have no jokes. You have issued an order to show the world to the marriage, and now the journey is complete..."

"Don't think about it!" Zhao Ji was not fooled by Chen Ao, and stood up and said with his hands in his arms: "Let's put this matter on hold for the time being. I will never tolerate anyone who mentioned it in the future."

Chen Ao curled his lips and thought to himself: "If you don't mention it, you won't mention it, it's just a pity for An Ning." He sighed and felt a little disappointed.

Zhao Ji was in a bad mood and said to Chen Ao: "After two ***, I have something to tell you, let's go out of the palace first."

Chen Ao said: "Yes."

After leaving the palace, he returned home immediately. The joy in the house was endless. After a while, Chen Ao changed his clothes and had a drink. He celebrated Chen Ao's misfortune and turned good luck. Zhen Zhen looked at Chen Ao. She was afraid that Chen Ao would lose weight before, but now she saw Chen Ao's spirit and spirit, and she really suspected that Chen Ao had just returned from an outing, but she didn't ask too much about Chen Ao's affairs, but just asked Chen Ao's peacefulness.

Chen Ao shook his head, sighed, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

Zhou Ruoyuan was still angry with arrogance. At this time, he saw him frowning and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's anger has probably not yet subsided. It's okay, it will be fine after a few days."

Tang Moer also said: "Isn't the Emperor's Princess so easy to marry? Keep calm and there must be a way."

Chen Ao looked at his three wives in surprise and said, "What's wrong with today? He seemed to be hoping that I would go out for a romantic and happy life?"

Zhenzhen said angrily: "For the sake of Emperor Anning, you don't even care about your life. Do we still dare to stop us?"

Seeing Zhenzhen's jealous look, Chen Ao quickly yelled: "Actually, it's not a matter of not paying attention to his life. I have planned it in advance. Your husband is the best at conspiracy and tricks. Think about it, I'm deceiving the emperor, right? But deceiving the emperor can only be understood, but not passed on words. If it is spread, where will the official's face be put?"

Chen Ao paused for a moment before he said, "So I had expected that the officials would definitely punish me if they were angry, but what crime should they use to punish me? First of all, the ministers impeached the ministers. I have seen the methods of those censors. They can speak a little bit badly. They can deal with others, but they can't deal with me. In previous years, the impeached suckers were a little bit ugly. The officials couldn't even remember their names. The censors made a few nonsense and cited classics, and most of the officials believed it true. But I am different. I am a friend of the officials. How much do I have to pay attention to? If he believes in something that I have done, he believes in it, but if he throws dirty water on me and says I am plotting against rebellion, the officials will not only not believe it, but will instead develop sympathy for me."

"Although the official was relieved at this time, he still couldn't help but face. Most of them wanted to teach me a lesson, so he would arrange someone to conduct a trial of me. If the trial was done, there would be a crime. What is the crime? Conspiracy is false, but deceiving the king is real. The problem is that this kind of thing can only be tacitly understood. When Cai Jing saw me fall into the water, how could he miss this opportunity? So he would definitely search for evidence of crime everywhere." Chen Ao said this, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the best place. If they want a crime, I will give them evidence of crime. Not only do they have to give it, but also give it to them with personal evidence, which is to ask them to use corruption to examine me."

He put down his chopsticks and lay on the back chair with satisfaction: "It's a pity that they can judge me anything, but they can't judge corruption. That minister of the king is afraid he will be in trouble. You can wait and see!"

He shook all his plans and Chen Ao's mood became a little cheerful. He went to bed early that night. Early the next morning, he went to Honglu Temple to sit on time.

The people from Honglu Temple, such as Chen Ao, were already scared because of Chen Ao's affairs. Chen Ao was greedy, and they also shared many benefits. As Chen Ao said, everyone had a share and no one was left behind. After Chen Ao's trial, it might be their turn to be the next batch of those who were tried.

Now that Chen Ao is safe and sound, everyone has let go and happily gathered to welcome the ministers of the temple. Chen Ao refused without hesitation and said to them: "There is no need to welcome the monk. If you think there is too much money, I don't mind spending a lot of money for you. Everyone, don't think about drinking too much. I will serve the king's fortune and serve the court, the Queen Mother and His Majesty's kindness. Why are you still standing there? Take out the list of those merchants. Which merchant has not come to Honglu Temple for several months? Let's give him a hint and tell them that when we reach the territory of the Song Dynasty, we have to do it according to the rules of our Song Dynasty. We are a country of etiquette, and there are many people who are not blamed. If he is not polite, many things will be difficult to handle."

Everyone burst into laughter and said, "Yes, yes, we must work diligently and must serve the court well."

Everyone was about to disperse, Chen Ao suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Wait! Is there a foreign merchant called Zhou Chu?"

When Shi Zheng heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, what I understand is that he snatched the adult and almost capsized the gutter. Don't worry, if you don't have to do anything, we will definitely deal with him. If you offend the Honglu Temple, he still wants to do his fur business? Humph, that's not even thinking about it."

Unexpectedly, this flattery hit the horse's leg, Chen Ao said with a stern face: "I don't like to hear what you said. What do you mean? Do you want me to avenge my private revenge? Public is public and private is private. I calculated it very clearly and asked someone to tell him that he doesn't have to worry and be afraid. It's okay, my official sentiment is not something that a villain can understand. By the way, I will also send a message to me, saying that I gave the golden mask he gave last time to the emperor. After seeing it, the emperor liked it very much and couldn't let it go. I thought so. Since the emperor liked it, I believe the Queen Mother and all the princes would like it too. Why not do this? Let me give him dozens of mates first and ask him to quote a price. I took out his own private money to buy it from him."

When the temple heard this, he immediately understood and said with great emotion: "The lord does not care about past grudges. His mind is as broad as the waves of thousands of miles. He can't see the end at a glance. The lower officials admire him the most. What makes the lower officials deeply touched is that the lord often puts the official family first in his heart. In order to share the worries of the official family, he actually took out his own private money. How can this be the lord and the official people bear the feelings!"

Chen Ao sighed and said, "So reading makes people clear their ambitions and can cultivate their character better. You usually read more and you will reach my level sooner or later! Okay, let's go and do your own business. I'm going to work hard."

After saying that, he went to the ear room and asked someone to pour tea. He lay halfway on the couch and took a nap for a while. He waited until lunch at noon. The merchants called Zhou Chu came without stopping. When they saw Chen Ao, they bowed and shouted in pain: "Damn it, damn it..."

Chen Ao hurriedly walked over and helped him up, and said with a righteous heart: "Brother Zhou, what are you doing? I know, the reason why you went to the yatang to say those words was because you were coerced by the king's minister, right?"

Zhou Chu nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice: "Yes, yes... Otherwise, even if he killed a villain, he would not dare to slander the adults."

Chen Ao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you do your business well, you don't have to worry about this."

Zhou Chu looked very grateful and said, "Shen Da****** is extremely impressed by the villain."

Chen Ao asked him to sit down and smiled like a spring breeze: "You don't need to be admired. You came from a foreign country to my Song Dynasty from a long distance, and you are the VIP of my Song Dynasty. The communication between the two countries depends on your connections. If you want to be admired, it should be Chen who is admired by Brother Zhou."

Zhou Chu felt relieved and said, "Sir, you just asked me to send me a golden mask. This mask was forged in Guizi Country. In this Song Dynasty, it was difficult to find a suitable craftsman, so this mask is just a matter of fear that it will be delivered to you next year."

Chen Ao said regretfully: "That's it... then forget it, it's nothing to do."

Zhou Chu was ashamed and hurriedly said, "Although I can't find a skilled craftsman for a while, the Song Dynasty is full of talents. I believe that adults will definitely find someone suitable for forging. Therefore, the villain brought 50 kilograms of materials to make golden masks. If adults don't bother, they can find another craftsman forging."

Chen Ao said with a stern face: "What are you doing? I just want a golden mask, but you sent the materials. Those who don't know thought I was greedy for your gold, so I took the things away quickly. When I saw those yellow and white things, I couldn't help feeling disgusted."

Zhou Chu almost knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Ao, shouting loudly: "Sir..., you must accept this material, it... they are not gold."

Chen Ao said: "It's not gold, what is that?"

Zhou Chu's eyes turned: "It's just an ordinary copper ingot, not worth a lot of money."

Chen Ao thought about it, nodded reluctantly, and said, "If it were a copper ingot, it would be fine. You offer a price and I will withdraw money to you."

Zhou Chu dared not to open the door, and quickly said, "It's not worth much, sir, don't be polite."

Chen Ao insisted on giving it to him. The two of them had a stalemate for a long time, and Zhou Chu said: "If you really want to, just give the villain four or five jin of money. Alas, it's not a valuable thing, and it's even costing you."
