The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 455 Are you threatening me?
"It's all up to you to watch." Xu Chi stepped back subconsciously, avoiding Xu Yuan, "I've never known anything about this kind of thing."

"You might as well follow the previous method." Li Yin closed the account book in his hand, "Although you are famous as Chunsu, in the end, there are still many people in the imperial city who have never seen it. You adjusted the grain price that day. A big event, coupled with the porridge for the common people to taste, is definitely enough to attract a large number of people."

Xu Chi added in a timely manner: "Li Yin is right. If you do too much of something, it will be counterproductive. Why don't you just do it like that and follow the previous method."

Xu Yuan rolled her eyes: "You understand now."

Xu Chi smiled awkwardly. Ever since Li Yin took him to train, he had seen Li Yin's usual style of doing things. If it wasn't something he was sure of, he would never have said it lightly.

This situation has caused him to have an inexplicable trust in what Li Yin said. As long as Li Yin said it, he felt it was reasonable.

"Forget it, this makes sense, so let's do it according to this." Xu Yuan rubbed her chin, and Li Hong's wedding will be in two days, and preparations for this matter must be made quickly.

"By the way, I am already arranging people to follow up those people who were captured by Li Hong before, and there should be news soon." Li Yin reached out and pinched Xu Yuan's cheek, she looked sleepy again, Eyes are narrowed into a slit.

Xu Yuan nodded. This clue has been followed for a long time, and now it has finally begun to make progress.

The three sat together and chatted for a while, Xu Yuan said that she was going to sleep for a while, and went back to her room first.

These days, she was here waiting for the opening of the grain store, and she really wasted a lot of effort to do things. Now that it's over, she needs to have a good rest.

Since Chen Changning followed Li Yin and Xu Yuan back to the imperial city that day, he went straight into the palace.

The chance the emperor gave him last time was still there, as long as he was willing to enter the palace, someone would come to pick him up, so his process of entering the palace was smooth.

Someone helped him hide his identity and brought him directly to the emperor. The emperor was very happy to see Chen Changning come back, and drank a few more glasses of wine with Chen Changning.

Chen Changning has always responded to the emperor's words. Last time the emperor was very excited and sent someone to send a message to recognize him, but this meeting did not mention this matter for a while.

He wondered in his heart whether the emperor knew something, such as what Li Hong did to him, or whether there was any new deal between the emperor and Li Hong when he didn't come over last time.

He joked with the emperor calmly, mentioned his concubine mother intentionally or unintentionally, and asked what the emperor's attitude towards his concubine mother was.

The emperor was probably afraid of the money in Chen Changning's hands, and he said some nice words when he spoke, as if he wanted to calm Chen Changning's emotions.

"Father, since the minister has returned now, when can we announce it to the world?" Chen Changning didn't have the heart to talk with him in circles, and pointed out the key points.

The smile on the emperor's face froze for a moment, and he reached out to hold the teacup to cover up his unnatural movements.

"Why worry about this matter?"

"Father, in two days it will be the day of the royal brother's wedding. If you announce this to the world, wouldn't it be double happiness?" Chen Changning picked up some teacup and looked at the emperor through the mist.

"After the matter of Li Hong is over, I will tell you about it."

"My son, I don't want to wait." He put down his teacup and looked directly at the emperor without flinching.

"What does it mean?"

"My son has been wandering abroad for so many years, and finally came back, how can I wait any longer?"

"Why wait a few days?"

Chen Changning chuckled lightly: "I'm willing to wait, but not necessarily my money. The national treasury is running out of money, right? How long can Xu Yuan's food last for you?"

The emperor was very surprised, how could he know this.

Chen Changning lowered his eyes. This was naturally Li Yin's news to him. Both of them knew that the emperor would never let Chen Changning come back so easily, so when necessary, he still had to coerce and lure him.

"Are you threatening me? You haven't come back yet, but you are quite courageous."

"Father, if you are not courageous, how can my business do what it is now?" He had a smile on his face, as if he still respected the emperor.

The emperor's face darkened, Chen Changning was not afraid of him, this was something he knew a long time ago.

Xu Yuan and Chen Changning, both relying on holding important things in their hands, did not pay attention to his majesty at all.

"What's wrong with you and Li Hong?"

"Father, you don't need to know about this." He smiled and shook his folding fan, "Father only needs to know, and if you disclose my affairs, your treasury will be filled."

The emperor gritted his teeth. The agreement between him and Li Hong was that he would stand by his side at any time, and the two would work together to fight against other people. But in this situation, he had no choice. Chen Changning was right, he was very lacking. Money, the treasury has been empty to a certain extent, there is almost no way to remedy it except Chen Changning.

"Okay, I'll make your affairs public on the day of Li Hong's wedding." He looked up at Chen Changning, "But remember what you said."

"Father, don't worry." Chen Changning put away the folding fan, "Since this matter has been settled, I will go back to the palace first."

The emperor waved his hand lifelessly and asked Chen Changning to go down. He still had to find an excuse, how to tell Li Hong about the deal between himself and Chen Changning. Can rely on taking it from others.

"Eunuch De, do you think my emperor is a failure?"

"Your majesty, please don't say that. You are the ruler of a country, the supreme existence. Where did you say you failed?"

The emperor smiled wryly, his failure and success, he couldn't be more clear in his heart.

"Forget it, you go back first."

Eunuch De quietly retreated from the room, and glanced at the emperor, who said he would not fail?Anyone who is a merchant can grasp the emperor's weakness and be coerced.

The emperor got up and went into the secret passage behind the imperial study room. He didn't carefully read the news received there for the past few days, what happened between Chen Changning and Li Hong.

After he entered the secret passageway and followed the dim light, he saw the figure moving inside, and someone came forward to salute him.

"Is there any big news recently?"

"Back to the emperor, I haven't received any important news recently."

"Li Hong and Chen Changning, give me the whereabouts information of these two people." The emperor went to a seat beside him and sat down, waiting for the person to deliver the things.
