Chapter 202 It's not easy to get a king's heart

In Gao Chen's view, Chen Chu was degenerate.

Chen Chu is also a scholar after all, after all, who graduated from Hongwenguan and is also considered a scholar.

In this era, scholars take the world as their responsibility, and few scholars pursue interests.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are at the end.

The strong liquidity of merchants is also considered to be the biggest factor in the instability of the country and the country.

But Chen Chu refused to be a good prince consort and insisted on becoming a businessman.

In order to pursue profit, the people in Chang'an City are short of flesh.

This kind of behavior is shameless.

Although Gao Chen was just a eunuch, he did not dare to get too close to Chen Chu.

He was worried that one day when Chen Chu was beaten to death, he would implicate himself.

So, he ran away in a hurry.

Chen Chu walked back to the warm room, dusted the snowflakes on his body, and asked, "Second brother, tell me, am I scary?"

Cheng Yaojin spit out a bone, spat, and asked, "Did that guy Gao Chen humiliate you?"

Chen Chu waved his hand: "It's not humiliation, but I kindly invited him into the house to eat meat, but he ran away..."

Cheng Yaojin's face darkened: "Hmph, give shameless things... Fifth brother, don't worry, I'll deal with him for you."

This small episode will not affect the appetite of the two.

Not long after, Cheng Yaojin laughed again in the room.

Chen Chu took a sip of wine and said, "Originally, I planned to hold on for a few more days. Then I would definitely make a big profit by selling the meat in our hands. But now it seems that my father can't wait, and all the civil and military officials in the court can't wait. The wealthy families in Chang'an City are even hungry for meat. It seems that they will have to start selling tomorrow..."

Cheng Yaojin, who has always been impulsive and fearless, looked solemn at this time, and said, "Fifth brother, in other words, Your Majesty is for your own good. You are a vain. Although you have a engagement with the eldest princess, you are not married yet and cannot be considered a real prince-consort. Now, you have offended the people in Chang'an City all at once. If you don't sell meat, you will be afraid that you will establish many enemies. In my opinion, it's better to listen to Your Majesty..."

Chen Chu nodded: "Okay, come, cheers."

No words all night.

The next morning.

All meat shops in the east and west cities of Chang'an City are open.

The meat Chen Chu took out and sold was all old meat or pickled.

However, no living things such as live chickens, live sheep and other living things in his hand were taken out.

Chen Chu planned to sell out the old meat and then sell live goods.

At the beginning, people were still hesitating whether to buy it. After all, many wealthy families and rich people are used to eating fresh meat.

But later, when I saw that the old meat was sold very quickly, many people couldn't sit still and joined the army of rushing for purchases.

The price of meat is much more expensive than before, but for rich people, they don’t care at all.

As for ordinary people who have no money, it has no effect at all, because even before, they could not afford to eat meat.

...

Ganlu Temple.

Li Er looked at everyone happily.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others gathered together.

Li Er said, "My dear friends, I see that you have a lot better looks. Is it because you have eaten meat these days?"

Sure enough, at first glance, Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling and others were all full of red faces.

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I saw Lord Wang come out of Pingkangfang with my own eyes this morning. It seems that he has eaten a lot of meat last night. No wonder he looks so good..."

"Puff!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

Wang Gui blushed, and waved his hand quickly and said, "I, I just drank tea and did nothing."

Everyone laughed again, but Wang Gui couldn't argue.

After the joke was over, Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although Chen Chu has taken out the meat and sold it so that everyone can eat it, many people are complaining that the price of the meat sold by Chen Chu is more than twice the previous market price. This move is unrighteous. The saint has words, and a gentleman loves money and makes it a good way. Chen Chu does this to make ill-righteous money. It would be fine if Chen Chu is just an ordinary merchant, but he has a engagement with the eldest princess and is deeply favored by His Majesty. How can such a person be an unrighteous person..."

Changsun Wuji's words woke up the others.

Everyone also expressed their opinions.

The overall meaning is that Chen Chu can't do this.

Some people even suggested that they should use this matter to suppress Chen Chu.

Li Er nodded after hearing this: "I know this. I will explain to Chen Chu personally. My dear friends, although Chen Chu is a bit eccentric, he is talented and has made many contributions to my Tang Dynasty. I was already very sorry for him in marrying Lizhi. Now I will suppress him again, but it is a bit too much. Don't mention this matter..."

When everyone heard this, they knew that His Majesty Li Er was protecting Chen Chu.

Everyone was envious.

Chen Chu is so lucky that he can actually win the heart of his king.

So no one said bad things about Chen Chu anymore.

Everyone withdrew from the Ganlu Hall.

Chen Yaojin walked at the end.

He slowly walked to the steps after everyone else had gone away.

Just in time, Gao Chen walked from below.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin, Gao Chen hurriedly moved away to the right.

Who knew that Cheng Yaojin actually walked to the right.

The two met.

Gao Chen hurried to the left, and Cheng Yaojin also went left.

Gao Chen went to the right, and Cheng Yaojin went to the right again.

The two of them confronted each other back and forth on the steps.

Bang.

Cheng Yaojin was immediately annoyed: "Gao Chen, you are a eunuch, how dare you block the road of Cheng?"

Gao Chen was so scared that his face was pale and said stammeringly: "Duke Lu...I, I, I don't, I just want you to leave first..."

The Tang Dynasty did not have the rules of walking on the right, so Cheng Yaojin could go wherever he wanted.

As he said that, he quickly lowered his head, stood aside, and asked Cheng Yaojin to leave first.

Cheng Yaojin did not leave, but shouted unhappily: "You see that I, old Cheng, don't even walk on the road. Do you think of me as a tiger, leopard, jackal in your heart?"

"No, no, no, Duke Lu, you misunderstood. I respect you..."

Gao Chen wanted to cry without tears.

Cheng Yaojin patted Gao Chen's face with his hand and said, "It's like a dog. Next time, I'll take you to the martial arts venue to fight..."

As he said that, he left.

Gao Chen stood on the steps, looking confused and a little messy.

He felt something was wrong.

But I didn't find anything wrong.

He shook his head and was depressed to enter the Ganlu Palace. He raised his foot and just stepped on the air. Then he rolled down the stairs like a hammer. When he rolled to the bottom, his nose was blue and swollen, and he screamed in pain.

On the other side.

Cheng Yaojin walked out of the palace gate and said proudly: "A dog-like thing, a mere eunuch, dares to look down on my fifth brother. Next time, I will break your leg..."

If it were someone else, he would definitely be afraid of Gao Chen.

Because Gao Chen is Li Er's eunuch and has a unique status.

But Cheng Yaojin is not afraid!

Even if Gao Chen said bad things to him a thousand times in front of Li Er, Li Er would not believe it, let alone this guy doesn't have such courage.
