Most people think this decision is crazy, and a small number of people think it's okay.

Luo Yuan is one of them. He got a lot of money from Zhao Yueyao, and he also got military pay from the Ministry of Household Affairs. In his mind, Zhao Yueyao is much better than those who don't do practical things.

"I feel that if Mr. Zhao becomes the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it will definitely bring Zhao Guo to a higher level."

Chu Nian also supported: "Father is wise, Mr. Zhao has enriched the treasury a lot in a short period of time. If he can take charge of the entire household department in the future, not to mention the Zhaixing Building, it will be easy for Father to build a palace."

The emperor laughed loudly: "Fushou, draw up the decree!"

Zhao Yueyao was a little dazed, he knew that the emperor would not let him leave the household department easily, but he did not expect to give him a promotion again.

This promotion, because the officials were all grounded, so no one objected to it. Zhao Yueyao changed his official robe and mansion smoothly.

Chu Nian came with a wooden box in his hand and came with a smile on his face: "Master Zhao, you are so hot now. I have set a table for you at Yaohua Building tonight. Do you have time, Master Zhao?"

Zhao Yueyao opened the wooden box, and there was an ordinary night pearl in the box.Zhao Yueyao didn't know how many such luminous pearls there were, and he didn't think it was unusual, so he let the willow branches be put away at will: "I don't need anything now, but I don't lack time, let's go."

Yaohualou is the most famous restaurant in Kyoto, with delicious dishes and luxurious furnishings.

Because Chu Nian had already ordered, Yaohua Building specially reserved the highest floor for the two of them.

Chu Nian picked up a dish with chopsticks for Zhao Yueyao: "Try it, this is their signature dish, crispy chicken."

Zhao Yueyao took a sip: "It's really delicious, Brother Six, you can eat it too."

"I don't know what father is thinking, Yao'er, you must be careful."

Zhao Yueyao propped up the table, his wide long sleeves drooping down, revealing a section of his wrist: "Your Majesty is over 40 years old this year, getting older, and the sun is getting thinner. But the crown prince is young and sharp, maybe the emperor is worried that the crown prince will seize power."

Chu Nian: "However, this country of Zhao will still belong to the crown prince in the future, and the emperor's actions are just superfluous."

Zhao Yueyao chuckled: "Sixth brother, such things as power can change a person beyond recognition. Your Majesty is rich in the world, so why are you willing to grow old slowly and lose everything?"

"Sixth brother, you must be filial to His Majesty, maybe the crown prince will replace you?"

Chu Nian quickly covered Zhao Yueyao's lips: "Don't talk nonsense, if this kind of cholera incident spreads out, you and I will die!"

Zhao Yueyao took Chu Nian's hand away, his eyes were full of seriousness: "Before the early morning court today, who would have thought that the emperor would remove the crown prince's position in the household department and let me take office?"

"Sixth brother, it depends on human effort, I will help you."

Chu Nian was told that he was not destined for the throne since he was a child. He still remembered that when he was young, he was despised by the palace people and disliked by the emperor because of his green pupils.

Veins appeared on his forehead, and he crushed the wine glass in his hand: "Yaoer, no, I can't do this."

Zhao Yueyao pursed his lips, and swept the table of wine and vegetables in front of him to the ground, his eyes were reddish, and there were tears on his eyelashes: "Okay, forget it if you don't want to, let me be killed by the prince!"

Chu Nian pinched Zhao Yueyao's shoulders, and was disturbed by his crying: "What's the matter, now you have the support of your father, the prince dare not do anything to you."

Zhao Yueyao was held down on the wound, crying and trying to break free.Chu Nian smelled a faint smell of blood, and pulled up Zhao Yueyao's cuffs, and a shocking whip mark appeared in front of Chu Nian.

"do not look."

Zhao Yueyao was crying, trying to avoid Chu Nian's gaze.

Chu Nian gritted his teeth: "Is this the prince's beating? It must be, he is so vicious, how can he be the prince of the middle palace!"

Zhao Yueyao hugged Chu Nian: "Sixth brother, I'm very scared, it doesn't matter if I die, what if the crown prince does something to you one day?"

Chu Nian was convinced that if he didn't have power in his hands, he couldn't protect anything.

It may be because the emperor dismissed the crown prince, and the prince did not dare to disobey the emperor in marriage, so he married Sang Rou soon.

On the day of the prince's wedding, the city was full of red makeup, celebrating.Zhao Yueyao, as the Minister of the Household Department, can naturally participate in the wedding ceremony when the two get married.

After the ceremony, they just ate and drank. Zhao Yueyao felt drunk all over his body, so he went out to sober up as an excuse to change clothes.

The cold wind blew past, and his mind cleared up a little. He suddenly heard crying, faintly visible, and the light of fire, flickering in the darkness.

He walked over to have a look and found a woman wearing a black cloak behind the rockery, burning paper money.

"Burning paper money in the palace is a big taboo, and the prince is getting married tonight, the girl should leave quickly."

The woman looked up, and it turned out that she was Caiyu, the emperor's favorite concubine.

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding me that no one will come here tonight. I'm burning paper money for my sister."

Zhao Yueyao was taken aback: "Your sister Caiyun? How did she die?"

Caiyu's face was very calm: "Because she bumped into the empress, she was dragged out of the palace and beaten to death."

Zhao Yueyao didn't know what to say, the memory of the two sisters was not deep for him.

"My lord, I will die soon. Can you help me bury this outside the palace?"

Ayame took out two clean white handkerchiefs with simple patterns embroidered on them.

"Now that the emperor has a new favorite, the queen will not let me go. The queen will attack every concubine who falls out of favor."

Zhao Yueyao took the handkerchief. The handkerchief looked old, but it was well preserved.

Caiyu wept: "Thank you, my lord."

Zhao Yueyao turned around and took two steps. He only remembered Caiyu's childish and lively appearance at the time. The woman in front of him was a bit smeared, but with resignation and numbness in her eyes, which really made people feel sad.

"Wait, Ayame, don't leave yet."

After the prince got married, Zhao Yueyao acted resolutely in the household department and directly demoted many people.These people not only occupy their positions and do nothing, but also make trouble.

If Yulan is promoted by Zhao Yueyao, he no longer needs to do heavy paperwork.

When he left, he looked at Zhao Yueyao with complicated eyes.

After an autumn rain, the emperor caught a cold, and because of his indulgence in women, his illness became violent.

All the princes and concubines have to take turns to serve the sick, including Chu Nian.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the emperor's bedroom, and there were a few uncontrollable coughs from time to time.

Accompanied by the emperor is Caiyu, who has washed the lead and dressed in simple elegance.After entering the palace last time, Zhao Yueyao asked Caiyu to change her attire. If the emperor summoned her, she would disappear.If you are close, let the emperor think about it, so that everyone will not be lost.

With just a few short words, Ayame was enlightened.I don't know how she did it, but it does hold some weight in the emperor's heart.

The voice of the emperor came from the curtain: "Come in and talk, come and give me your seat."

Zhao Yueyao and Chu Nian sat at the bottom, Chu Nian looked stunned, and took out a peace card from his arms: "Father, my son specially went to the Thousand Buddha Temple to ask for a peace card for the father. It is blessed by the magic power of the eminent monk. It will get better soon."

The emperor was in a good mood: "You, I never believe this."

Chu Nian smiled a little embarrassedly: "Father's achievements are outstanding, and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but my son thinks that doing more good deeds will make us blessed forever."

Before the emperor could speak, the prince's voice came from outside: "Sixth brother's words are too childish, but it's just a wooden sign, how can it protect the health of the father?"

Sang Rou is holding a tray with ginseng on it.

The crown prince was in high spirits: "Father, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng obtained with great effort by my son, and it is specially used to replenish my father's body."

Because the emperor was seriously ill, the prince temporarily supervised the country. During this period, Zhao Yueyao was restricted everywhere.However, the prince could even walk with the wind. It was the first time he felt this feeling after being aggrieved for so long.

Chu Nian did not argue with the prince: "The ginseng sent by the emperor is naturally better than mine."

The prince was very happy to see that Chu Nian was submissive: "Don't you know that my father doesn't believe in Buddhism at all? Man is determined to conquer nature, and everything depends on man's efforts. If it spreads, what will others think? I said, Sixth Brother, don't give away these things in the future. .”

Chu Nian smiled wryly: "Brother Huang taught you the lesson."

The emperor sat on the bed, and unconsciously his face turned black: "Prince, as an elder brother, you should have given in to the emperor's younger brother, why are you so relentless? Who knows that I don't believe in Buddhism, but Nian'er I still asked for the amulet for me."

"Go out with the princess, this gin will be useful."

The prince cast a dark look at Chu Nian and the calm Zhao Yueyao, and walked out of the hall with Sang Rou.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he quickened his pace.Sang Rou belongs to her daughter's family, so she can't keep up at all: "Your Highness, wait for me, my concubine can't keep up!"

The prince turned around: "Then don't follow me."

They are all married, but the prince still has no patience with Sang Rou, and now he is embarrassing her in front of everyone, Sang Rou feels sore and burst into tears.

The personal servant girl who grew up comforted her: "Crown Princess, Your Highness is in a bad mood, so don't take it to heart."

The eunuch assigned to the Eastern Palace cleverly went to find Zhu Lu, and helped the trembling, weak Sang Rou to go up.

When the prince returned to the East Palace, he felt a splitting headache. He said to Fulu, "Give me Shenxiansan!"

Fu Lu took out the jade bottle from the secret compartment and handed it to the crown prince: "Your Highness, the empress said that she wants you to reduce the consumption of Shenxian powder every day."

The prince pulled out the plug, closed his eyes deeply, and was intoxicated by the inhalation: "No, I'm in prison now, so I can't make any mistakes."

"It's very strange. When Zhao Yueyao followed me, even if Gu didn't use Shenxian San, the headache wasn't that strong."

Fu Lu: "Your Highness, do you want your servant to bring Mr. Zhao?"

The crown prince shook his head: "No need, if the royal father is willing to abdicate at this time, to take care of his life, if there is too much solitude, there will be changes."

"Zhao Yueyao, you can't escape."

In the emperor's bedroom, he asked the personal eunuch Fushou to reward Chu Nian with a lot of rare antiques: "Your emperor's brother has a strong temper, so don't take what he said to heart. I like the amulet you gave me very much, so I wish you Fushou hang up."

Chu Nian's eyes were slightly red: "Father, the amulet is just for peace of mind, and my son is still waiting to hunt with Father next year."

The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay, the emperor will definitely win the first place next year."

When the two walked out of the dormitory, Chu Nian felt very surprised: "How does Yaoer know that I will blame the emperor for sending this father, but will be happy instead?"

Zhao Yueyao: "Your Majesty is old, and no medicine can bring him back to his previous healthy state. When he has no choice, he just wants peace of mind. Sixth brother, at this time, you must not confront the prince head-on."

Chu Nian nodded: "I know, how is the construction of the Zhaixing Building going?"

Zhao Yueyao looked distressed: "To build this building cost too much money. A lot of people in corvee died this month, and they have to be expropriated again. I don't know if the people can hold on."
