Chapter six hundred and seventieth: thank the queen mother for giving the chicken
Chapter 670: Empress Dowager Xie gives the chicken
After hearing Chen Ao's words, Zhao Ji's face was no longer good. When he was in a bad mood, he could not help but go to drink tea, so his hand had already hugged the teacup. The tea in the teacup was already cold, but he took a sip on it unconsciously, frowned, and couldn't help saying, "New Tea!"
This is a sign of Long Yan's furiousness. How could Yang Jian not be relieved? He immediately winked at a little eunuch. The little eunuch turned around without possession and brought a cup of new tea to the tea room not far away.
The tea that was soaked was rippling in the hot green tea water. Zhao Ji blew a lightly, then took a sip carefully, looked at Chen Ao for a while, and then slowly said: "Seventy million guan, it's too much. The imperial court has been spending a lot in recent years, and the empress dowager's birthday is about to come again, and the inner court is also in short supply. Yang Jian..."
As he said that, Zhao Ji looked at Yang Jian, and Yang Jian immediately said, "Slave is here..."
Zhao Ji said slowly: "You have always been in charge of the inner treasury. Are my words right just now?"
Yang Jian dared not say that the money in the inner warehouse had accumulated as mountains? For this reason, he repaired a few more *** rooms from Taizu to use. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty said it well. The inner warehouse is in short supply. He asks for money everywhere. How can he take out so much money? Besides, the King of Pingxi is not in charge of the family and does not know that the firewood and rice are expensive. The palace is almost... it can't be opened..."
At the end, Yang Jian even squeezed out a bit of embarrassment and spread his hands. He said on behalf of Zhao Ji that he would not have money, but his life is one. Do you want it?
Very shameless...
Chen Ao felt very slandered, but he smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is really embarrassing me. You can't ask the horse to run away or not to eat grass, right? It's hard for a good wife to cook without rice, let alone provide such a big deal to help the victims? Your Majesty is better to put state affairs first."
Zhao Ji actually felt sorry for it, so he had to say, "It may not be a problem to use 30 million guan. No matter how much it is, it will be gone."
Zhao Ji glanced at Chen Ao and continued slowly, "Chen Ao, I know your ability. Except for money, everything else is easy to say."
Chen Ao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He just wanted money now. What's the use of saying anything else? The emperor was indeed unchanging and was so stingy. He smiled faintly and said, "Is this what Your Majesty said?"
Zhao Ji said seriously: "You don't have any jokes. Since I have said it, I will naturally follow you."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Then why would you like to ask Your Majesty to give me a hundred chickens?"
"It's a chicken again..." Zhao Ji's eyelids couldn't help but jump when he heard the word "chino". He always felt that disaster was coming again, and he laughed dryly, "What do you want a chicken to do?"
"Disaster relief!" Chen Ao said with a smile.
Zhao Ji was slightly stunned. One hundred chickens were not enough for the victims to cook chicken soup, so he believed it with this disaster relief. But since it was not about 70 million guan, but one hundred chickens, this was completely different.
Zhao Ji was still willing to do this and said, "Okay, I will give you three hundred chickens, how about it?"
Chen Ao said in fear and fear: "Oh... Your Majesty is so polite. It is a blessing for all people to have such an emperor who loves the people but not the chicken in the world."
When Zhao Ji heard this, he felt a little harsh. Love the people and not the chickens? Could this guy be mocking him? However, thinking of saving 70 million yuan, Zhao Ji was in a good mood. He didn't delve into it. He smiled and said, "Originally, I guess An Ning should be about to give birth at this time, but it's always nowhere to be born. Since the disaster is like fire, I can't stop you. If you go to Taiyuan, you must do your best. If there are tens of thousands of refugees in Taiyuan, if something goes wrong, it will cause trouble. I have to ask you."
Chen Ao said seriously: "I understand."
Zhao Ji continued, "Since you want to thoroughly investigate Duke Qi Guo's affairs, I will follow you, let it go, let it go, don't talk about this..." When talking about Duke Qi Guo, Zhao Ji felt a little ashamed and smiled, "In short, Taiyuan will ask the Qing family. If the handling is done properly, I will definitely be rewarded."
Chen Ao said again and said the order, Wenjing Pavilion retreated, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, driving 300 chickens to provide disaster relief. This is unprecedented, right?
He went straight into the harem and went to see An Ning first. An Ning was about to give birth. When she heard Chen Ao leaving, she pursed her lips and said nothing. Chen Ao naturally knew that she didn't say anything on the surface, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "The cold weather is as warm as spring here. But I know that there are more than 100,000 people in Taiyuan who are still not covered in clothes, cannot eat, no tiles on top, and no standing cone on the bottom. If I go one step later, I don't know how many people will die. Look, our children are about to be born, and I have nothing to send to him, this trip will accumulate more good deeds. At that time, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless our family to be safe and healthy after the child is born."
An Ning couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Don't tell me these great truths. Of course I know these things. I'm just bored in the palace and really want to go back to our home."
The two words "We" are like a little warmth in the cold winter. Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's a little bit to save a little bit. Anyway, your father asked you to live there, we still have to take advantage of this." He lowered his voice and said, "Your father has money, and you can pick a little bit."
An Ning said angrily: "Nonsense, isn't the money of the Tian family the money of the world? These are all very useful."
Chen Ao said with a stingy look: "There are differences between external warehouses and internal warehouses here. I'm talking about internal warehouses." He pointed and said: "Actually, I've already done it. In the past two years, the income from the internal warehouses is roughly 1.5 billion guan, and they are all obtained by raiding the house. Even if the money is squandered, at least 1 billion guan is still there. The richest person in the world is your father. Our Shen family must work hard, so even if you live in the palace, eat more of them, the Shen family will earn one more point. This in and out will sooner or later be able to compare them."
Seeing him with a serious look, An Ning couldn't help but say, "Why are your mind so bad?"
Chen Ao touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Scholars pay attention to managing the family and governing the country. What's wrong with being diligent and thrifty?"
An Ning couldn't help but smile and said, "What you call making money or not is managing your family."
As the two talked, someone couldn't help but say behind them: "Making money is to manage the family, and managing the family is to accumulate wealth. What's wrong with this?"
Chen Ao and An Ning were shocked. At this time, when the empress dowager smiled, Chen Ao couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw her attitude. He thought to himself that if she heard the first half of the words, she would probably have to peel off today. Amitabha, fortunately, fortunately, she only heard the four words "diligence and thrift" of family management.
An Ning's face turned red and she saluted the Queen Mother.
The empress dowager came over and let An Ning lie on the couch, and said with a stern face: "I have calculated it by counting my fingers. Just these days, you still stand up and play with him? You are really a child." After that, she said with a stern face to Chen Ao: "You don't usually come to visit you, but it's like this when you come. What do you do when you are thrifty at this time? You should pick up some nice words."
Chen Ao said obediently: "Yes, yes, what the Empress Dowager said is so right. I suddenly regret it."
The Queen Mother nodded to Chen Aonu and said, "You come out to speak with the Ai family."
Chen Ao didn't want to move and said with a smile: "What can't you say with An Ning?"
The Empress Dowager said with a stern face: "There is a serious matter for the Ai family to ask you."
The serious things the Empress Dowager said were 80% of the matter with King Jin, so Chen Ao had to say, "Okay, let's come here."
Following the Empress Dowager out of the small building where An Ning lived, she arrived at a small pavilion. The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the plum forest not far away, and she said softly: "There is something you want to do in the Ai family."
Chen Ao said: "Please give orders to the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager said slowly: "What's going on with the Zheng family recently?"
Chen Ao shook his head and said, "I don't know when I go back to the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Look at me carefully. Concubine Zheng comes from Ai's family, and the rest of the matter will be left to you."
Chen Ao didn't expect that the empress dowager had this thought in her heart, and she couldn't figure it out for a moment. If the empress dowager had dislikes the Zheng family, it wouldn't be like this. After all, no matter how disgusted he is, he can't eradicate it just because of disgust?
The queen mother looked back and smiled faintly, "Why, can't figure it out?"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "I really don't understand."
The Empress Dowager sat in the pavilion and said slowly: "The Ai family is old and I don't know when it will be gone." She looked at Chen Ao and stopped talking, and said with a cold face: "You don't have to say anything about Shoubi Nanshan. The Ai family is not so stupid that they think they can shine with the sun and the moon." After that, she continued: "You must know the person who is the most worried about the Ai family," she said.
Chen Ao said: "King of Jin?"
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "That is, King Jin is confused and confused, and does nothing about the consequences when doing things. Ai's family is there for a day. But what if the Ai's family is gone one day? Your Majesty favors Concubine Zheng, which is well known to everyone in the inner garden. Concubine Zheng is certainly not good at it. Now King Jin has offended the Zheng family again. After the Ai's family leaves, with King Jin's confused temperament, what will be like in the future? No one can predict."
After pausing, the Empress Dowager looked at Chen Ao with a smile and said, "I believe that King Pingxi knows these words more than anyone else?"
Chen Ao thought for a moment and immediately understood that the King of Jin was indeed tied to him. Although he was the emperor's younger brother, if someone was blowing the pillow every day by the emperor's pillow, and the King of Jin has always been inappropriate, his power will be unpredictable at that time, who knows what the result is?
I heard that the Empress Dowager had already asked someone to beat a close eunuch to Concubine Zheng to death. It was obvious that she wanted to show Concubine Zheng's face. Women were inevitably frivolous. Although Concubine Zheng was timid now, who would know if Concubine Zheng would still calculate the calculation after a hundred years?
Throughout history, many people have been destroyed by women, and the Queen Mother cannot take this risk.
Chen Ao smiled and said, "I understand. The ones outside the palace will belong to me, and the Empress Dowager in the inner garden will belong to the Empress Dowager. But please ask the Empress Dowager for a little help."
The queen mother smiled and said, "You said that."
Chen Ao laughed and said, "Can the Queen Mother give me hundreds of chickens?"
"It's another chicken..." The queen mother couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Chen Ao with her eyes and said, "What are you going to make?"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Stay in the family."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "This is for you, the Ai family will ask someone to send it tomorrow."
Chen Ao was happy and said solemnly: "Thank you to the Queen Mother to give the chicken!"
The Empress Dowager was still Leng Ruohanshuang just now, but she smiled and said, "Actually, there is a calculation. The Ai family has not settled with you yet. King Jin went to fight for wealth with the Zheng family's son. Have you already arranged it?"
Chen Ao pursed his lips and smiled, "Would the Empress Dowager listen to the truth or lies?"
The queen mother raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you say lies?"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "I am a good minister, and I have a good plan, and I plan for a long time to win a thousand miles away. All of this is arranged by me."
The Queen Mother asked again: "What about the truth?"
Chen Ao straightened his back, and said with confidence, "I used a hundred chickens as a guarantee, absolutely nothing, I will never admit it even if I hit me, scold me, or ruin me."
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be admitted. Good people do not live long. Chen Ao believes that he is not a disaster, but he is definitely not a good person.
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Okay, Ai Jiaxin, you will be here." After that, she said: "I've gone to Taiyuan and bring a few more clothes. Don't get cold. Go and see An Ning again. You're leaving soon. Just stay in the palace tonight."
Chen Ao said embarrassedly: "Isn't this good?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Do you know that something is wrong?"
Chen Ao pursed his lips and thought to himself, that would be great.
