This prince is so sinister

Chapter 61 The Unsold Mirror (for Subscription)

The key problem is that Cao Lili couldn't think of a reason why Zhao Zhi didn't vote for him.

He once voluntarily wanted to worship under the Prime Minister Wang Yanjun, but was rejected by the Prime Minister Wang Yanyu unceremoniously.

It was something that happened in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. It can be said that only Bao Zheng, Chao Dynasty, and Ma Han were present at that time. It was impossible to spread the news, but it still spread.

What do literati care about most?But it is face!
And Xixia has repeatedly sent troops to invade the Song Dynasty, precisely because a literati in the Song Dynasty, because he failed to succeed in the Song Dynasty, so he thought that his talents were difficult to display. As a result, he rebelled against the Song Dynasty and defected to Xixia. The military advisor and prime minister of Xixia.

Every time Xixia invaded and killed, burned, and looted the people of the Song Dynasty, it was because of the instigation of that literati, whose surname was Zhang Mingyuan. He killed countless people in the Song Dynasty just because he failed the Jinshi examination.

So with Zhao Zhizhi's talent, might he not care about face?Therefore, the chance of voting for Prime Minister Wang Yanjun again is almost impossible.

And what can the little emperor and the queen mother give Zhao Zhi?Except for an imperial city secretary who obviously can't give anything, but he can make him a son-in-law and the prime minister of the new Song Dynasty.

So Zhao Zhi, who had voluntarily voted for Wang Yanjue and was rejected, has no reason not to vote for himself?If you voted for yourself, what reason would you regret?

So after discussing with his two sons, Cao Li could not help but feel relieved of his original concerns.

……

Still listening to Yulou.

One is because the street is good, the front door is wide enough, and it is also more convenient to enter the palace. It is almost close to the palace of Bianjing City, and all the way along the way is under the control of the Imperial City Secretary.

Immediately after Cao Yong left, Wang Yanjue pretended to be casual and entered through the side door. The key question is that Yulou is still a restaurant, so naturally everyone can enter.

Privy envoy Cao Li just left the elegant room.

The prime minister, Wang Yanjun, has a pitiful face, it seems that he had a lot of pimples on his face when he was young, and he usually looks serious.

Finally seeing Zhao Zhi alone again, Wang Yanjue couldn't help sighing in his heart, and bowed first: "Young Master Zhao, the truth is that I'm sorry for the contempt for you at the beginning."

The prime minister of Song Dynasty apologized to himself.

Zhao Zhi couldn't help but smiled back and said: "Master Wang, you don't need to be polite, but I, Zhao Zhi, am not a stingy person. I don't want to hide it from Mr. Wang, but this place has just entertained Mr. Cao, the privy envoy. I think Mr. Wang already knows. Sir Wang, please sit down."

After all, he was not close to Bao Zheng, but the old man was rejected by Bao Zheng twice.

So Wen Ting couldn't help but cut straight to the point: "I heard Mr. Zhao wants to do business with Zhenxiang, but I don't know what kind of business Mr. Zhao wants to do with Benxiang?"

Zhao Zhi also directly smiled and said, "Bring it in."

Immediately, two imperial city guards carefully carried a huge mirror into it, and this time they did not use anything to cover it up to attract Wang Yanjun's attention, and doubts flashed in their eyes.

But then Zhao Zhi explained with a smile: "In fact, the Secretary of the Imperial City obtained two sides of this mirror from overseas. Unfortunately, the late emperor did not have the chance to see it. I am going to sell it to Mr. Wang at a low price. Please ask Mr. Wang to make a price. "

Wang Yanjue's eyelids twitched, he pondered for a while and said with a serious smile: "I don't think Mr. Zhao can do business, but if the queen mother said that she has two sides, the truth and the privy envoy won't fight.

I don't know if Mr. Zhao is willing to tell the truth, what did you talk about with the privy envoy before? "

It is indeed straight to the point, and Zhao Zhi has already thought about it seriously. The privy envoy Cao Yong wanted to rebel against himself and become the emperor, but the prime minister Wang Yanjue knew that it would be difficult for him to rebel. Just right.

Because if Cao Li rebelled, his Wang Yanjun would never be able to be the prime minister today; as for his own rebellion, Cao Li is also a big enemy, and in the end it will only hurt both sides.

So Zhao Zhi heard it, and said directly and truthfully: "The reason why Mr. Cao personally handed over the gold to me was to bribe me and prepare to rebel later. In this way, the Forbidden Army of Bianjing City and the Forbidden City Guards of the Imperial City are all under him It's in my hands, I don't know how Lord Wang is going to deal with it?"

Finally, the veteran Wang Yanxuan couldn't help but tremble slightly, and pondered again: "Since Mr. Zhao invited me to do business, do you want to please both sides? Are you afraid that you will die in the end without a burial place?"

Zhao Zhi smiled faintly: "Business is business. If Mr. Wang buys my mirror, I'm not afraid of Cao taking advantage of it, let alone Mr. Wang's restraint."

Wang Yanjue raised his eyelids: "I don't want to think that I underestimated Mr. Zhao again, because he has the guts to fish in the troubled waters of Bianjing City. If I don't buy it, and Mr. Zhao takes advantage of Cao, there will be no place for me in Bianjing City. Mr. Zhao is forcing me to buy it."

Zhao Zhi still smiled casually as before in the prison: "I dare not force the Prime Minister, I just simply want to do business with the Prime Minister. Could it be that Lord Wang also wants to rebel and become the emperor?"

As a result, Wang Yanyu couldn't help being silent, and raised his eyelids for a moment and said, "Master Zhao, can you tell me, do you want to rely on the imperial city to support yourself? Or are you loyal to the emperor and queen mother?"

Zhao Zhi still said casually: "Hasn't Mr. Wang heard of my loyal service to the country?"

Wang Yanjue directly snorted and said, "Young Master Zhao wants to change the entire Great Song Dynasty by himself, but he doesn't know that the Liao envoy from the Liao Kingdom will come to Bianjing soon.

There was also news from Xixia that envoys would be sent to Bianjing for negotiations this time; at the same time, all the tribes of Tubo and Southwest Dali would also send envoys; Mr. Zhao never thought that if the Liao envoy heard Mr. Zhao's loyalty to serve the country, he would How will you react? "

Zhao Zhi was stunned: "Master Wang really deserves to be the prime minister of my Great Song Dynasty. He has more information than everyone else. It would be nice to come here together. I just want to meet them and tell them to be honest. Will Mr. Wang buy it or not? "

Wang Yanjiu also pondered again: "It is a miracle that such a precious mirror can have two sides, and there is absolutely no way to have a third side. But since there are two sides, I will definitely not spend another five million taels of silver. Mr. Zhao made an offer."

Zhao Zhi also thought about it seriously: "The two mirrors, the Imperial City Department spent a total of one million gold. Even if Mr. Wang paid 500 million taels of silver, the Imperial City Department would also lose money. If this is the case, I will sell it to Wang for 400 million taels of silver. How are you, my lord?"

I don't want the old guy to open his mouth and say, "300 million taels."

Zhao Zhi gritted his teeth with hatred, and couldn't help standing up and walking back and forth twice, as if he was struggling in his heart.

As a result, after only two trips, Zhao Zhi said directly with pain: "Okay! It's only 300 million taels! Just please don't reveal it to Mr. Wang. Otherwise, if Mr. Cao knows that Mr. Wang only spent 300 million taels, I'm afraid he will become angry. I'm afraid Master Wang doesn't want to see the consequences."

……

Soon Wang Yanzheng also left, the real feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife, just holding tens of thousands of new troops, he had to compete with the two giants of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhi couldn't help standing on the second floor of the Tingyu Tower again, quietly Leaning on the railing, looking down at the world of the Song Dynasty.

Unknowingly, there was no sound, a figure stood a few steps behind him, but he just watched his quiet back and waited quietly. Suddenly Zhao Zhi turned around and saw the figure standing inside the door at a glance.
