Chapter 73
King Jin's words awakened Luo Shangshu.

Luo Yongliang ruined Han Qingwan's boudoir reputation, and she must have hated it to the bone at this time.If there is a day when Han Qingwan is the queen, she probably won't let Luo Yongliang go, or even Luofu.

But if he proposes a marriage, the emperor may be the first to let him go!
Luo Shangshu knelt down on the ground and said in a mournful voice, "I am in a dilemma, please give me your advice!"

Zhao Chengyuan looked down at the buds and leaves floating in the tea soup, and said in a low voice, "Lord Luo has been an official for more than [-] years, and he has traveled more roads than the bridges that the king has crossed. Why do you need the king to give pointers?"

Luo Shangshu was startled.

It suddenly dawned on me.

It is impossible to marry, and it is also impossible not to marry, but there are not only two ways.

If Han Qingwan can't be the queen, Luo Mansion will be safe and sound!
He fell on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty has been taught, thank you for saving my life! If there is a need in the future, I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

The emperor believed the prophecy of Fenghuang's order, and Han Qingwan had Dingguo Duke's Mansion and Yongping Marquis Mansion behind him, so he alone might not be able to completely prevent Han Qingwan from becoming a queen.Then win over King Jin is the best way.

Zhao Chengyuan raised his hand, "Lord Luo, stand up and speak. This king can't save anyone, and everything depends on himself."

"Thank you, my lord. What my lord said is true." Luo Shangshu sat back again.

Zhao Chengyuan sipped the tea slowly, "I heard that you are proficient in tea ceremony, so come and taste this tea."

"The lower officials don't dare to use the hatchet..."

Luo Shangshu picked up the teacup and sniffed it first, surprise flashed in his eyes, he took another sip, put down the teacup and cupped his hands to answer.

"The tea soup is clear, fruity and sweet, and the woody fragrance is deep and distant. It is the best jade agarwood in Cangyuan Mountain in Xiangping. I was lucky enough to be rewarded by the emperor with a cup. After drinking, the fragrance on my lips and teeth is still fresh in my memory even after several years. It's a pity that jade agarwood is extremely precious, and the annual output is only ten catties, and ordinary people can't drink it if they want to."

"Well said." Zhao Chengyuan picked up the tea tube on the table, the color was dark, "Agarwood is precious, but it's just a tea tube for half a catty of jade agarwood."

He got up and walked to Luo Shangshu's side, and put the whole pot of tea in Luo Shangshu's hands, "Since Mr. Luo likes it, take this tea back and drink it."

Luo Shangshu hastily declined, "I am ashamed to be an official! A gentleman does not take what others like..."

"You just keep it, I have no shortage."

Zhao Chengyuan paced back and sat back, "Brother Huang got two catties this year, and I shared half of it with this king. Before that, Marquis Yongping even gave me two catties. This king can't drink so much, and it will be ruined for nothing. "

"Then it's better to obey orders than respectful officials."

Luo Shangshu held the tea pot in his arms like a precious treasure, thinking in his eyes.

That is to say, the Yongping Hou Mansion got Yu Chenxiang earlier than the emperor, more than the emperor, even a lot more.

He knows that the Marquis of Yongping is rich, and the household department is the money bag of the big week, which is in charge of collecting and spending money, and there are too many things to do in the middle.

But if wealth surpasses the emperor...

He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the Marquis of Yongping and the magistrate of Xiangping Prefecture will return to Beijing soon. The Miemen case and the Jinzhou garrison case will be combined into one case. It will inevitably involve the Ministry of War. I should prepare in advance. I will bid farewell first."

Zhao Chengyuan hummed lightly, "Lord Luo, go slowly."

Luo Shangshu bowed and retreated, looking at the majestic outer study, his heart filled with awe.
-
Royal study.

Emperor Qingming Zhao Chengche leaned over his desk wearing a memorial, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Zhao Chengyuan walked to the opposite side of the dragon case, "Brother Huang, it's time for dinner."

Emperor Qingming raised his head and glanced at him, "Seventh Emperor brother, you came just in time, we two brothers will have dinner together in a while. You sit first, I will finish approving this paper."

"Brother Huang is busy first."

Zhao Chengyuan walked around the imperial study casually, and Fang stood still in front of a picture of autumn mountains, admiring it with his hands behind his back.

In the picture, there are many mountains, thousands of rocks competing for beauty, and rapids and waterfalls.In the mist and mist of late autumn, there are ancient trees and pines, and a corner of the eaves of a temple is hidden in it.

"What can you see?" Emperor Qingming walked to his side and asked with a smile.

"Master Xuanzhi's authentic work, Cangyuan Mountain."

Emperor Qingming asked calmly, "How do you know it's Cangyuan Mountain?"

Zhao Chengyuan pointed to the corner of the eaves and said, "This is the pagoda of Hongtai Temple. I once went to Hongtai Temple to ask Master Xuanzhi to ask for calligraphy, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to see it."

He sighed, "It can be seen that the identity of the royal family is not easy to use everywhere."

The suspicion in Emperor Qingming's eyes disappeared, he pointed at him and laughed helplessly, "Master Xuanzhi jumped out of the world of mortals, how could he care about his status. I think you are too idle, I should find you an errand. I'm so busy here that I don't even care about food, but you have the leisure to travel around the mountains and rivers."

Zhao Chengyuan said with a smile, "Brother Huang is in the prime of his life, so it's okay to work harder, but don't make any plans for your younger brother."

He pointed to the painting on the wall, "But this painting, since brother Huang hung it up, he must be willing to part with it."

Emperor Qingming laughed loudly, and led him to the side hall, "You have taken so many good things from me, but this time it won't work."

"Brother Huang, which beauty did you promise it to?"

"You don't have to ask, I won't reveal a single word." Emperor Qingming smiled and told the eunuch Wu Jian, "Take the map of the autumn mountain and hide it in a box so that the King of Jin won't worry about it."

Wu Jian smiled and agreed.

A long dining table was set up in the side hall, and there were a variety of meals, and there were several court ladies and eunuchs waiting by the side.

Zhao Chengyuan cleaned his hands and ate his meal, and said, "Brother Huang has approved Han Rui's resignation, and I must thank you."

"If you want to make a beautiful woman smile, even if he is a third-rank official, I will agree."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "The younger brother is indeed trying to please the beauty, and my aunt and her old man have never stopped smiling in the past two days."

"Oh?" Emperor Qingming looked up at him, "What does this have to do with Mrs. Hou?"

"Back then, my aunt offended Mrs. Dingguo, and my uncle was demoted from Duke Anling to Marquis of Anling. Now that I finally got the chance, I should return it."

"Do you remember these old grievances?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Duke Ding used his sword to enter the Marquis of Anling, but I still remember it clearly. This time I can't demote his title, and it's barely enough to use his brother's sword."

Emperor Qingming put down his chopsticks, frowned and said, "Marquis Anling and Duke Dingguo are my right-hand men. After so many years, they have been in conflict. If you don't help me persuade peace, it's fine, and you will add to the chaos."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "My brother is helping the emperor brother. Dingguo is already a first-class duke and a first-rank general, and the wife of the old duke is already a first-rank wife. When Dingguo returns triumphantly, the emperor brother is already a first-class general." There is no reward. It’s hard to save face.”

He paused, then smiled, "But it's different now. The old Mrs. Dingguo despised the royal family, and Dingguogong will definitely come to plead for her mother. Brother Huang will say 'merit and demerit' at that time, and Dingguogong will be grateful."

Emperor Qingming's expression was deep, "There is no reward, and the master is afraid of this. It's just that if things are as simple as you think, then it will be fine."

He looked at Zhao Chengyuan for a moment, and asked, "That Miss Chen family, I heard that she is both talented and beautiful, and you have saved her life, how about I bestow a marriage on you?"

 Dear friends, it will be on the shelves tomorrow, and then V from chapter 52~~
