After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt

The King of Jin's words woke up Luo Shangshu.

She must have hated Luo Yongliang for ruining Han Qingwan's reputation. If Han Qingwan really came to be his queen, she would probably not let Luo Yongliang go, or even let Luo Mansion go.

But if he proposes marriage, the emperor will probably be the first to let him go!

Luo Shangshu knelt on the ground and lamented, "I am in a dilemma, please give me your advice!"

Zhao Chengyuan lowered his eyes and watched the buds and leaves floating in the tea soup, and said quietly, "Lord Luo has been an official for more than thirty years and has traveled more roads than the bridges I have crossed, so there is no need for me to give guidance."

Luo Shangshu was startled.

Suddenly and suddenly.

It's impossible to marry, and it's impossible not to marry, but there are not only two ways.

If Han Qingwan cannot become the queen, the Luo Mansion will naturally be safe!

He knelt down on the ground and said, "I will teach you, and I would like to thank you for saving my life! If there is a need in the future, I am willing to help you."

The emperor believed the prophecy of the Phoenix Life. Behind Han Qingwan were the Dingguo Palace and the Yongning Marquis Palace. He alone might not be able to completely prevent Han Qingwan from becoming the queen. So wooing the King of Jin is the best way.

Zhao Chengyuan raised his hand, "Master Luo, get up and speak. I can't save anyone, so I have to rely on myself for everything."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. That's what Your Majesty said." Luo Shangshu sat back down again.

Zhao Chengyuan tasted the tea slowly, "I heard that you are proficient in tea ceremony. Come and taste this tea."

"I don't dare to do anything for my subordinates..."

Luo Shangshu picked up the tea cup and smelled it first, surprise flashed in his eyes, took another sip, put down the tea cup and answered.

"The tea soup is clear, with sweet fruity aroma and deep and rich woody aroma. It is the best jade agarwood from Cangyuan Mountain in Xiangping. Xiaguan was once fortunate enough to be gifted a cup by the emperor. After drinking it, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. Even though it has been several years, it is still fresh in his memory.

"It's a pity that jade agarwood is extremely precious, and only ten kilograms of it can be produced in a year. Ordinary people who want to drink a cup of it can't."

"That's good." Zhao Chengyuan picked up the tea tube on the table, which was dark in color. "Agarwood is precious, but it's just a tea tube used for half a pound of jade agarwood."

He stood up and walked to Luo Shangshu's side, and put the whole container of tea into Luo Shangshu's hand, "Since Lord Luo likes it, take this tea back and drink it."

Luo Shangshu hurriedly declined, "I am ashamed to be a lower-ranking official! A gentleman does not take away what others like..."

"Just keep it, I will not be short of it."

Zhao Chengyuan walked back and sat back, "Brother Huang got two kilograms this year, and he gave me half a kilogram. Before that, Marquis Yongning also sent two kilograms over. I can't drink so much, and it will spoil in vain if I leave it alone."

"Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders."

Luo Shangshu held the tea cone in his arms like a treasure and thought in his eyes.

In other words, the Yongning Hou Mansion obtained jade agarwood earlier than the emperor, and even more than the emperor, or even a lot more.

He knew that the Yongninghou Mansion was rich and powerful. The Ministry of Revenue was the money bag of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in charge of cashiers and spending money. There were too many things that could be done in this process.

But if wealth surpasses the emperor...

He stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the Marquis of Yongning and the magistrate of Xiangping Prefecture will return to Beijing in the near future. The murder case and the Jinzhou garrison case will be merged into one case, which will inevitably involve the Ministry of War. I should make some preparations in advance. Your Majesty.

I’ll take my leave now.”

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

Luo Shangshu bowed and retreated, looking at the majestic outer study room with awe in his heart.

--

Royal study room.

Qingming Emperor Zhao Chengche was hunched over his desk with a memorial draped over his head, his brows furrowed.

Zhao Chengyuan walked to the opposite side of the dragon table and said, "Brother Emperor, it's time for dinner."

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

"Brother, please be busy first."

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

In the picture, there are many mountains, thousands of rocks, and rapids and waterfalls. In the mist of late autumn, there are ancient trees and pines, and the eaves of a temple are hidden among them.

"What did you see?" Emperor Qingming walked up to him and asked with a smile.

"The original work of Master Xuanzhi, 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. My younger brother once went to Hongtai Temple to ask for Master Xuanzhi's calligraphy treasure, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see it."

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

The suspicion in Emperor Qingming's eyes disappeared, he pointed at him and laughed helplessly, "Master Xuanzhi jumped out of the mortal world, how could he care about his status? I think you are too idle, I should find you a job.

I am so busy here all day long that I don’t even bother to eat, but you have the leisure to travel around the mountains and rivers."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "Brother Imperial is in his prime, so it's okay to work a little harder. It's better not to take advantage of my younger brother."

He pointed to the painting on the wall, "On the contrary, since the emperor hung this painting up, he must be willing to part with it."

Emperor Qingming laughed loudly and led him to the side hall, "You have taken many good things from me, but not this time."

"Which beautiful woman did the Emperor marry this to?"

"You don't have to ask, I won't reveal a word." Emperor Qingming smiled and ordered the eunuch Wu Jian, "Put the Autumn Mountain Picture in the box and hide it, so that the King of Jin will not worry about it."

Wu Jian smiled and agreed.

A long dining table was set up in the side hall, with a dazzling array of meals. Several palace maids and eunuchs were waiting for it.

Zhao Chengyuan washed his hands and ate, and said, "Brother Emperor has approved Han Rui's resignation, so I have to say thank you."

"If you want to make a beautiful woman smile, even if he is a third-grade official, I will do it right."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "My brother is really trying to please a beautiful woman. My aunt has 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. Lao Dingguo, and my uncle was demoted from Anling Gong to Anling Marquis. Now that I have finally got the opportunity, I should give it back."

"Do you still remember these old grudges?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "My brother Dingguo still remembers it clearly when Duke Ding raised his sword and attacked the Anling Marquis Mansion. This time, we can't demote him, so we have to make do with his younger brother."

Emperor Qingming put down his chopsticks, frowned and said, "Marquis Anling and Duke Dingguo are my right-hand men. They have been incompatible with each other for so many years. If you don't help me persuade them to make peace, it's just that, and you are still adding to the chaos."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "My brother is helping the imperial brother. Dingguo is already a first-class Duke and a first-class general, and the old Duke's wife is already a first-class imperial wife. When Duke Ding returns in triumph, the imperial brother is already a first-class general."

There is no reward. It will be difficult to live up to the reputation."

He paused and said with a smile, "But things are different now. The old Duke Dingguo and his wife despise the royal family, and Duke Dingguo will definitely come to plead guilty for his mother. When the emperor's brother says, 'the merits are equal to the faults,' Duke Dingguo will shed tears of gratitude."

Emperor Qingming's expression was deep, "There is no reward. As a master, you are afraid of this. But if things are as simple as you think, that would be great."

He looked at Zhao Chengyuan for a moment and asked, "That young lady from the Chen family, I heard she is both talented and beautiful, and you have been a life-saving grace to her. How about I grant you a marriage?"
