Chapter 217: Stunned

The prince was shocked, no one expected that this hillbilly would actually let the prince call him an adult, and everyone's eyes were staring at the person who Zhao Zhi led in.

"The prince made fun of it, now Bo Chu is a grass people, and he doesn't dare to call him an adult!" The old man stood with his hands down, bowed his head, and said that everyone could not see his face clearly for a while.

"Zhao Xin, you have been by the prince's side for the longest time, but you know this old man!" Zhao Lian asked softly.

"It seems to be Cai Jing's subordinate Wei Bochu, known as the 'God of Wealth' in the world, but he is not like this, it was not easy for the court's Shangshu, Shilang and other officials to see him, and he will not fall to this point, right?" Zhao Xin took a closer look and said uncertainly.

"Why should Lord Wei be polite, even if we have been officials in the same dynasty, although we have no friendship, but there is still incense!" Zhao Ta ignored the whispers of a group of subordinates, blasted away Jianxi who was sitting next to him, and pulled Wei Bochu over to sit down next to him.

"Lord Wang... Alas, I think that back then, I Wei Bochu was also a call for wind and rain in the court, and I boasted of making countless friends, but I didn't expect that now I still think of the same dynasty as an official, but it is a prince! Wei Bochu sat down, straightened his waist and shook his head and said with a wry smile, but although he was still clothed when he sat down, the momentum of being in the top position for a long time was revealed.

"Hehe, Lord Wei is serious, but I don't know how he got to the Northwest Army after leaving Beijing last year?" Zhao Ta ordered someone to put dishes and chopsticks on Wei Bochu and asked with a smile.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words..."Wei Bochu said with a sigh again, he followed Cai Jing in his early years and served as the head of his mansion. Later, with the rise of Cai Jing, he also became an official, and achieved the general doctor, the Huiyou Pavilion to be systematized, and the general manager of goods, which is equivalent to the current Minister of Commerce, Director of the State Administration of Taxation, and Director of the General Administration of Customs. It was only later that the voice of the DPRK and the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China rejected. He also started a speculative business and switched to the door of the new upstart Wang Huang. Unexpectedly, Cai Jing overcame the difficulties and returned to power, so he deposed him, but Wang Hao did not protect him, but abandoned him like a stinky sock.

As the saying goes, 'the wall falls down and everyone pushes it', Wei Bochu, who once worked for the old and new masters, lost the protection of the two bigwigs and immediately became a lost dog. Wei Bochu was afraid of being retaliated against by Cai Jing. He could only pack up his family and leave the capital in a panic, but whether it was the old subordinates he had promoted or the old friends who had made a fortune together, they all avoided him. Not to mention taking it in!

But Wei Bochu has been an official for many years, and he followed the prime minister of the court, the fox and the tiger are mighty, the dog fights the human power, the trick is snatched, and the things that do not do the money are of course not too little, when he has the power, people can only knock out their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, and now there is no revenge and revenge and complaining! So Wei Bochu went all the way and fled all the way. It is impossible to even plant fields and make a small business after the most Lu, and after the most Lu avoids Hedong and settles in Fenyang. Years of savings have long been 'borrowed' away, and they have to do some rough work to support their families. But it is still difficult to escape the 'persecution', and at such an old age, he was forcibly conscripted to serve in front of the army. It's not bad.

Wei Bochu relied on his own cleverness, and soon stood out among the many people, and became a secretary, although this is a small official who is not in the stream, but now he is already reciting Amitabha Buddha, thinking that after the war, he can finally settle down with this relationship, but he didn't expect to be too happy, said a few more words, and was treated as a 'talent' in front of Prince Yan.

Wei Bochu thought that although he and Prince Yan were common when they were in the last dynasty, they were not people on the same line, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were strictly 'political enemies', so the two had never intersected. But he also knows that this kid is not a good bird, and he is the most resentful, thinking about it, his former two masters have not been less affected by him, especially the hatred of Wang Huang, and everyone in Beijing knows that Prince Lu Daoyan was 'distributed' to the northwest from Wang Huang's hands. Although he has been dismissed now, after all, he has been a general for their subordinates and participated in it, and it is not impossible for him to sprinkle his anger on himself now. …,

"Prince Yan, at that time, the matter was urgent, and the grass people had an idea, and they had no intention of offending the prince Huwei, if they were punished, the grass people would never say anything!" Wei Bochu thought that he now had no head and no place for his feet, and no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be bad.

"Hehe, why did Lord Wei say this, you have made a great contribution this time, I want to reward you, how can you be punished!" Zhao Ta looked at him with a look of 'seeing death as home', knowing that he was afraid of his own revenge, and said with some amusement.

"How dare the grass people ask for the prince's reward? Just ask the prince to let go of the grass people, and I will be very grateful! "Wei Bochu is also an old fritter in officialdom, and he has seen a lot of this kind of trick of hiding a knife in a smile, where is he willing to believe it, the more the prince laughs at him, the more bottomless he is, but now where is the bargaining capital, he can only hold his neck and pretend to be horizontal to the end.

"Well, that's fine!" Zhao Ta didn't care, and called Jianxi and said, "Jianxi scooped up a hundred yuan to Master Wei, and sent someone to send him back!" ”

"Yes, Second Master!" Seeing that Xi agreed, he turned around and took out a few papers, and handed them to Wei Bochu.

"Lord Wang, I don't want to be a son, and I don't want ten dollars, these things are not worth much now, and they can only be exchanged for six hundred and fifty wen on the market, so you still give me copper coins!" Unexpectedly, Wei Bochu didn't answer, just glanced at it and said.

"Wei Bochu, don't be embarrassed, you do this little thing to reward you with ten times the money is the limit, today the prince remembers the old love and rewards you, you are still grinding and chirping, when you are still the head of goods, don't forget, you also had a share in the manufacture of these things!" If the prince lets him go, it doesn't mean that others will let him go, seeing that Wei Bochu didn't answer, he said with an annoyed face.

"Hehe, I don't know how much I should be rewarded, but the prince said that he wanted to reward me with a hundred yuan, you scoop it for me, and it will be thirty-five yuan less, the prince doesn't care about these small money, but this money is enough for our family to eat and drink for a year, and the grass people have to worry about it!" Wei Bochu was out of luck, but his old face was red, his heart was bitter, and the cycle of karma was unhappy! But what he said at this moment is also the truth, thinking that the money in his hands back then was more than tens of millions, but at this time and that time, people are poor and short-minded, and a penny is good now.

"Don't say anything more when you see Xi, exchange it for copper coins for him!" Now Wei Bochu is no longer the original Wei manager. Zhao Ta knows very well the truth that a penny is difficult for a hero, and beating the water dog is not a hero's doing.

"Master Wei, let's go, a hundred copper coins are weighty, don't say we won't give them if you don't scoop them away then!" Seeing Xi looked at Wei Bochu, he pursed his lips and sneered. There have always been ten catties of copper coins, and even if he becomes a camel, he can't carry a hundred copper coins.

"I want gold, not copper!" Wei Bochu thought about it, he still has to be a people's husband, so much money can be carried and there is nowhere to hide!

"Hehe, Lord Wei, let's not kick your nose in the face, I will let someone prepare the money for you, do you like it!" Miki also turned his face. Pointing at Wei Bochu's nose, he said with a sneer.

"Don't be rude when you see joy, go scoop gold!" Zhao Ta glared at Jianxi and said.

"Second Master..."

"Do you want me to scoop it myself?" Zhao Ta put down his face and said, "This slave is not sensible, Lord Wei should not be angry." Although the meals are crude, they are all at the top of the day, so you can eat something after a day of traveling! He arched his hand at Wei Bochu, and then tore off a piece of mutton and put it in the bowl in front of him.

"Don't make fun of the grass people anymore, it's not as good as before. I'm not a Master Wei anymore, I'm not afraid of the jokes of the prince and you, I haven't eaten meat for a few months, and the whole family lives by drinking porridge. These things are better for me than the 'tooth and butter' of the Prime Minister's Mansion back then! Wei Bochu grabbed the mutton and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Alas, I didn't expect Lord Wei to fall to such a point. In the future, if you have difficulties, you can go to the Economic Strategy Division to find this king! Zhao Ta suddenly had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died, maybe one day he would become like him. Every day, I worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt. …,

"The prince has something to inquire about, and the grass people will tell all those who know the way!" Wei Bochu listened to the words of the prince, but he wanted to screw it, and concluded that the prince showed favor to himself because he still had use value, and wanted to get something from his mouth.

"Hehe, Lord Wei, you misunderstood, although this king is curious about many things, he will not take advantage of the danger of others to take the opportunity to coerce, and treat each other politely just because he remembered the old feelings of being an official in the same dynasty back then, and he has no other meaning, and please Lord Wei to relax, this king has no intention of pursuing the rights and wrongs of the past!" Zhao Ta immediately understood that this old boy was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he was used to being a villain, and he treated everyone else as a villain.

"Oh..."Wei Bochu was a little stupid, in the past, it was said that Prince Yan would take revenge, and King Jia's subordinates offended him, and they were actually washed in blood by him; Cai Jing offended him, and when he went to Jiangnan, he killed Cai Jiu; Wang Hao didn't offend him and was beaten up when they first met, think about Lin Lingsu, Zhang Tianshi, and Zhang Bangchang were all wronged by him because of some trivial things, the light ones were bruised all over the body, and the heavy ones gave away their lives, why did they let go of themselves today? Is it because he doesn't have enough weight and is not worth it, or is he just a righteous person by nature!

"Lord Wei, the gold is here, is it enough to count, we won't recognize it if we go out!" At this time, seeing Xi scooping two gold ingots, he put them in front of Wei Bochu and said.

"Zhao Zhi, you bring some food for Lord Wei, find a place to rest, arrange a proper person to send him home tomorrow, and tell the local officials that Lord Wei is my friend, and you are not allowed to embarrass him again!" Zhao Ta saw that Wei Bochu was always suspicious, and knew in his heart that he was afraid of others, and he was wary of everyone, so he simply did it to the end and sent the Buddha to the west.

"Lord Wang, let me go?" Wei Bochu said with some disbelief.

"Yes, Lord Wei's life is having a hard time now, but with your talent and these rewards as the capital, I think it won't take long to make a comeback, but I still advise the Lord to do more good deeds in the future, don't do those pickled things again, and be a civilian!" Zhao Ta stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation and let him take care of himself.

"Thank you for your teachings, see you again in the future!" Wei Bochu gave a deep salute, followed Zhao Zhi out, walked to the door of the big tent, suddenly stopped, glanced back in amazement, sighed and went straight away...

"Lord Wang, is this person really Wei Bochu back then?" Seeing that the people were gone, everyone became active again, and Zhao Xin came over and asked.

"Of course it is, why don't I grind my teeth with him!" Zhao Ta stretched and said.

"It's really a tiger old man, although I know that this old boy is nothing, but sitting here, it still makes people feel depressed, and they don't dare to raise their voices!" Zhao Lian shook his head and sighed.

"You are also considered to have been in battle for a long time, and you have seen a big battle, how can you still be afraid of an old man who is powerless!" Zhao Ta said with a little amusement, is this the so-called 'Wang Baqi' of the people who have been in the top position for a long time, but why don't they have it on their own body, their own expedition to the west to attack the city and plunder the land is not a nail that has been arranged a long time ago, or it is fought out with a knife and a gun, and there is no good thing to surrender and bow down at all, but these people under his hands are cowardly towards Wei Bochu, who has fallen on the shelf, it is really a hell.

"I can't say it, it may make these people do too many bad things, and there is always a smell of yin damage on their bodies, which makes people not be vigilant!" Zhao Lian thought about it and said something specious, which made people sound very reasonable, but felt reluctant.

"Alas, this kind of person is pitiful and hateful, in the past, tens of thousands of guan were small numbers in his eyes, how could he have put the prince in his eyes, and now he dares to take the risk of offending the prince to bargain for more than a dozen yuan, but he is determined that the prince is kind, and he will not worry about him, if he encounters a ruthless person, he will be half dead!" Gao Zhong was born in a family of eunuchs, and he has seen a lot of the ups and downs of this kind of officialdom, so he said disapprovingly.

"Well, this king has offended more people, and killed a lot of people, I'm afraid that one day he will really lose power, and the end will not be as good as this Wei Bochu, if you don't get it, you will die on the street, and then I don't know which of you will collect the body for me, who will shed two tears in front of my grave!" Zhao Ta looked at the few 'generals' under his seat and said with a bitter face.

"How can Wei Bochu be compared with the prince, now Lingzhou is just around the corner, the prince is highly meritorious, powerful and powerful, and he is the prince of the dynasty, who dares to move a finger of you!" Zhao Yan said.

"Ha Luha, don't forget the old saying, 'the higher you climb, the more painful it hurts', back then we were honest farming in Xiangyi and there were people looking for us trouble, wanting to kill me, thinking about how arrogant General Di Qing was back then, the last was not to end up depressed, those scholars still can't tolerate him a martial artist, how can they tolerate a strong prince who can compete with them, don't look at my infinite scenery now, I may lose everything in a blink of an eye, what awaits me after this battle may be..."
