Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hu walked into the palace.

Although he is old, he still has to walk on his feet when entering the palace. He is not arrogant enough to have to be carried when entering the palace.

This was not his first time entering the palace. When he came to Luoyang for the first time, he came in once to see it out of curiosity.

But there was no one in the palace at that time, only the dilapidation and desolation left after the war, so he only wandered around the hall and lost interest.

For Zhao Hu, the palace at that time was nothing special except for its large area, and it was not as good as his villa outside the city. But when he entered the palace again, the solemn power was faintly pressing on his head. Zhao Hu He couldn't help but straighten his back, and stepped up the steps step by step under the leadership of the guards.

He was out of breath after walking straight, and he couldn't help but help his knees before walking to the front of the hall.

Zhao Hu's face turned dark, and he regretted in his heart. He shouldn't have come into the palace. In fact, there was nothing wrong with waiting for Zhao Hanzhang outside the palace.

Zhao Hu stood still and took a breath before following the guards.

There were guards in front of the main hall. When he saw Zhao Hu, he pointed directly to the other side and said: "The general is in the side hall."

There were also guards guarding the side hall. They stopped Zhao Hu, but they were very respectful to Zhao Hu and said, "Seventh Master, please wait for me to report back."

After that, he quietly went into the palace to report.

Ji Yuan, Ming Yu, Xun Fan and others were all in the side hall. Several envelopes were placed on the low table in front of each of them. They all came to Zhao Hanzhang to make decisions.

Ming Yu had just finished reporting the matter, made up his mind and was about to leave, when he heard that Zhao Hu was coming, he sat back down again.

Now that the treasury is short of money, he still wants to take action on Zhao Hu's property. It just so happens that Zhao Cheng is also here. As far as he knows, this Zhao Jijiu is very selfless.

Zhao Hanzhang already showed a smile and said with a loud laugh: "The seventh uncle is here, please come in quickly."

The guards retreated and asked Zhao Hu to come in.

In the side hall, the table in the middle was empty, and another table was set up next to it. Zhao Hanzhang was sitting behind it. Under the steps, Ji Yuanming was sitting equally on both sides, and Zhao Cheng was sitting at the end.

As soon as he came in, Zhao Hanzhang pointed to an open space above Ming Yu and said, "Take a seat."

Tinghe immediately came forward with his maid and placed a seat above Mingyu.

When Zhao Hu saw it, he raised his chin proudly and walked forward with satisfaction under the gaze of everyone.

Zhao Hanzhang stood up, stood on the steps, saluted, and said with a smile: "Seventh Uncle, please take a seat."

Zhao Hu bowed his hands to her and sat down.

As soon as Ming Yu waited for him to sit down, he immediately reached out and grabbed his sleeves and said, "Seventh Master, the people sitting in the palace are those who have made contributions to the country and are sitting here because of their official positions. Ming is the worst among them, but he is He also laid down his life for the general, what merit does the seventh prince have for sitting here?"

When Zhao Hu heard this, he blew his beard and glared: "Sanniang asked me to sit. Why, she has become rich, and I, an elder, came to see her and I don't even have a place to sit?"

"It's not that there is nothing, it's just that the seventh prince shouldn't come here to ask for an audience," Ming Yu said: "This is the palace, where the general has his office. If the seventh prince comes to see the general as an elder, he should go to Zhao's house to ask for an audience. "

Zhao Huheng said: "I can meet her wherever I want. What does it have to do with you?"

He pulled at his sleeve and found that he couldn't pull it out, so he looked angrily at Zhao Hanzhang, who had been silent, "Sanniang, you are so rude as a middle school scholar, don't you care?"

Zhao Hanzhang was about to speak, but Ming Yu had already rushed in front of her with a smile and said: "Seventh Master, there is no need to sue me, I am really doing it for your own good. You used to have no merit to be able to sit here, but now you can create merit."

When Zhao Hu heard this, he knew that he was still thinking about his family property, and he was furious, "You want my family property, you are dreaming!"

Ming Yu sighed and shook his head: "Why does the Seventh Master only see immediate benefits? You can accumulate such a huge family property because of the support of the general. If you can help Dajin tide over the difficulties today, then in the future you will If you have a country as your backer, you will be able to accumulate even greater wealth."

"You are a smart man. You should know that if you want to take something, you must give it first."

Zhao Hu snorted and turned away, raising his head with a haughty expression, as if he was not listening or reciting sutras like a bastard.

Ming Yu turned to look at Zhao Cheng and asked with a smile: "What do you think of the wine sacrifice?"

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately tensed up. He was really afraid that Zhao Cheng would relent and wanted to donate, so he quickly turned to glare at him.

Zhao Cheng didn't look at him, only faced Zhao Hanzhang, and said in a deep voice: "Whether you donate or not depends on whether the master is willing."

Ming You asked: "Isn't this your home?"

Zhao Chengdao: "All my family property has been donated to the national treasury, and those assets have nothing to do with me."

Zhao Hu felt relieved and a little sad at the same time.

He gritted his teeth and thought, wouldn't the money be left to him and Zheng'er in the end? Why don't you have anything to do with him?

Thinking of the steward who was imprisoned by Zhao Cheng, Zhao Hu's breathing quickened and his anger rose. OK, since he thought it had nothing to do with him, he spent all the money and didn't leave a penny for them and his son. Look at them. Will he beg for food after a hundred years?

That's what he thought, but within three breaths, his anger subsided. At the same time, he comforted himself in his heart, forget it, he is a fool, why should he care about a fool?

Obviously, although he hated it so much, Zhao Hu was still reluctant to leave nothing to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Okay, I know that Mr. Ming is worried about the treasury. This matter cannot be rushed. You can go down first and let me reminisce with my seventh uncle."

She and Zhao Hu came from Chen County together, and they hadn't seen each other for two days. What was there to talk about?

However, everyone still stood up and bowed down to give them space.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and left Zhao Cheng behind. When Xunfan, Jia Zhuan and others were about to leave the side hall, he smiled and said: "I know why the seventh uncle came. Apart from the abandoned houses in the inner city, it is Uncle Cheng, right?"

Even Ji Yuan and Ming Yu couldn't help but pause, not to mention Xun Fan, Jia Zhu and others. The land in the inner city...

Zhao Hu looked better. He glanced at Zhao Cheng who was standing with his hands down. He was not angry at all. He complained to Zhao Hanzhang: "In order to show your selflessness, you, the acting magistrate of Luoyang County, took my phone without any reason." Servant, you have to talk to him properly."

Zhao Cheng's face was calm and his voice did not fluctuate as he said: "They bribed officials to seek national wealth. They violated national laws and should be punished."

Having said this, Zhao Cheng finally looked at Zhao Hu, a little livid, "If the war hadn't been in full swing and the roads were cut off, the first culprit in this case should have been arrested."

"Okay, do you still want to arrest your father?" Zhao Hu was furious, "You unfilial thing, you think you can just serve as a sacrificial wine..."

"Seventh uncle!" Zhao Hanzhang stopped what he was about to say and said, "Although this is a palace, the walls have ears. Do you want your uncle's reputation for being unfilial to spread throughout Luoyang?"

Zhao Hu opened his mouth but was speechless.

Zhao Hanzhang said to Zhao Cheng again: "I know that Uncle Cheng is fair, but he is still too strict with the seventh uncle. Just now you defended the seventh uncle in front of others, why can't you say a few soft words in private?"

Good night
