After Li Zhao thought about this matter, he already understood that he had no room for bargaining.
The royal family’s face cannot be lost, it must not be lost.
Otherwise, everyone in the world will laugh.
As the only remaining king with a different surname in Wu Kingdom, Prince Zhao must be extremely cautious in his actions.
Although Emperor Wu now trusts him and even allows the Zhao family to take charge of military and political power, Emperor Wu will never tolerate it as long as the Zhao family dares to make a fuss about these things.
Will Prince Zhao affect the entire family for such a thing?
Definitely not!
In the same way, if Li Zhao dared to break off the engagement, he would be a slap in the face of the king with a different surname in the current dynasty.
This result is not something that the useless prince Li Zhao can bear.
When Li Zhao looked at the expressionless Emperor Wu, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
perhaps……
Emperor Wu not only wanted to maintain the dignity of the royal family, he also had a more profound meaning.
For example...checks and balances!
Although he was nervous in his heart, Li Zhao still wanted to maintain his previous dissolute appearance.
"Hehe... Since my father has said so, I will promise my father that I will seal the family after we get married."
Seeing that Li Zhao finally stopped resisting, Emperor Wu felt happy that he had finally won.
He just couldn't understand. That child Zhao Jingru was good-looking and well-educated, and she was a well-known talented woman. No one else would beg for such a woman, so why did she dislike Li Zhao when she came here?
Thinking of this, Emperor Wu couldn't help but think of Li Zhao lingering in the brothel, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Yes!" Emperor Wu nodded calmly and said, "Chang Lin, take King You down and hit the top ten first!"
"ha?"
Li Zhao suddenly raised his head and looked at this cheap man in shock.
Why is this?
Chang Lin looked at the change in Emperor Wu's face and knew that Emperor Wu was thinking of the crazy things Li Zhao had done over the years.
Without saying anything, he left the Tai Chi Hall with the wailing Li Zhao in his arms.
"Father...Father...I just made lunch for you, you can't be so unkind..."
Li Zhao was anxious.
In the past, when he was watching TV and describing it in history books, someone would always mention the saying "Being with the king is like being with the tiger."
To be honest, Li Zhao didn't feel the pressure or fear of accompanying a king like a tiger.
But this time he felt it.
Obviously everyone had a great time chatting just now, but they almost became sworn brothers.
Who would have thought that he would be hit in the blink of an eye?
"Ouch - oh -"
Listening to the screams coming from Li Zhao, Emperor Wu laughed silently. This little bastard was quite interesting.
He looked at these strangely shaped and delicious pastries again and smiled with satisfaction.
Soon, Chang Lin walked in quickly.
Emperor Wu asked: "Leaving?"
Chang Lin couldn't help but laugh and said: "He left cursing."
"He dares to scold me?"
"Well, that's not the case..." Chang Lin recalled: "His Royal Highness Youwang seems to have said that he bought a watch last year?"
Emperor Wu was also confused, but then he waved his hand and remembered something again. He pointed at the contract left by Li Zhao just now and said, "How about it?"
"Although His Royal Highness Youwang...is a bit dissolute and unconventional, he is still pure at heart..."
"You old dog, what's the benefit of taking him in?" Emperor Wu scolded.
Chang Lin immediately chuckled and said, "His Royal Highness You Wang left a few steamed dumplings for this slave."
"Go ahead!" Emperor Wu heard a flash of surprise and relief in his eyes.
In the eyes of many people, the eunuch is just a royal dog, but Emperor Wu really didn't regard Chang Lin as a dog, even though he often scolded the old dog.
And Li Zhao didn't have the slightest contempt or contempt for any eunuch, which really made Emperor Wu couldn't help but feel happy.
Because Emperor Wu discovered that even the prince and others had a natural disdain and disgust for the eunuchs and others.
Emperor Wu pointed at the contract and said, "What do you think? I'm not asking you to praise that beast!"
Chang Lin immediately said seriously: "I thought... King You was so calculating."
"Oh?" Emperor Wu was very interested.
"My servant heard that this white sugar was extracted by King You from brown sugar and brown sugar." Chang Lin explained: "I also signed a contract with the other shopkeepers, which means that His Highness King You got the original source of the goods without paying a penny. And then resell it to other shops, which is equivalent to making a lot of money for nothing.”
"However, he masters this secret craft and has to arrange for manpower to refine it, which means it takes a lot of time and money. But if we cooperate with His Majesty, it will be completely different."
Emperor Wu smiled and nodded: "Yes, this little guy even took advantage of me! He knew that I was short of money, but he didn't let me take advantage of him, so he had to let me protect him."
Chang Lin nodded. Even he didn't expect that King You, who was usually aloof, could actually have such a far-reaching plan.
Or, this is the cleverness of King You. Who dares to make mistakes when doing business with His Majesty? Who dares to stir up trouble?
In addition, since this matter has been fully delegated to His Majesty, His Majesty will have to help others, and Prince You can actually take care of himself.
This is the real thing to enjoy!
The key thing is that Your Majesty can't say anything because this is just giving money.
"He's a business profiteer!"
"..." Chang Lin lowered his head silently, he did not dare to answer these words.
Emperor Wu changed the topic and said: "You said...why doesn't Zhao'er like Zhao Jingru?"
Chang Lin continued to lower his head.
"What do you want me to ask you?"
"Ah?" Chang Lin pretended to be stupid.
"Say!" Emperor Wu glared at him.
"This..." Chang Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I just heard it... I'm not sure if it's true."
Emperor Wu smiled and did not expose it.
"Although King You and the princess of Prince Zhao's Mansion have been engaged since childhood, they have met once when they were children. Although they live together in the capital, they have never seen each other once. In addition, King You... has been a bit wild in recent years, and his reputation is... ...It’s not good, normal women wouldn’t like it, let alone someone as talented as the princess?”
"I heard that the princess has been paying attention to King You, but... in short, the princess doesn't want her husband to be like this, so there are many rumors in the market that she will break off the engagement... The old slave looks at His Highness Prince You I am also an extremely proud person at heart. Since I have never met her and there is no shortage of women, I naturally do not like Princess Zhao... It is reasonable to want to break off the engagement."
Chang Lin was embarrassed, thinking about what to say, for fear of not saying it well.
Emperor Wu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and he knew this too.
Li Zhao has indeed seen many beauties. Zhao Jingru may indeed be beautiful, but she may not be very attractive to him.
This is one of the reasons why everyone else wants to marry Zhao Jingru, but Li Zhao doesn't care.
"Then do you think...by betrothing Zhao Jingru to him, do you think I have harmed him?" Emperor Wu asked casually.
Chang Lin's heart thumped hard, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty is doing it for the good of King You. You gave him all the women with the best progress. How can you be considered harming him?"
"Do you know why I didn't betroth Zhao Jingru to the prince?" Emperor Wu asked again.
Chang Lin broke out in a cold sweat. Of course he knew it, but he couldn't show it. This problem was too fatal.
As the person who has been with Emperor Wu for the longest time, he knows Emperor Wu's behavior very well.
Everything seems to be arranged casually and without objection, but when the true face is revealed in the end, it often surprises people.
"I don't know..." Chang Lin pretended to be stupid. He could never take up this topic.
