The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"Husband, tell me, if we go out of the city in a carriage, will that guy ask us to collect the toll!"

Among the crowd, Li Shimin led Queen Changsun here in casual clothes.

There were guards behind him protecting the surroundings.

Queen Changsun felt unbelievable when she saw that the head of the Cui family in Qinghe really apologized to the merchant.

She really couldn't believe that it was the head of the Cui family in Qinghe who only slightly handed over to her when she saw him. ??

Today, under the pressure of Zhao Chen, he bowed down and apologized to the merchant.

"You'll know if you try it later." Li Shimin smiled slightly, said something to the guard behind him, and looked at the city gate in front again.

…

"Cheng Er, send someone to take Master Cui back. Remember, don't forget to get compensation."

Zhao Chen was very satisfied with the performance of Patriarch Cui.

After speaking silently to Cheng Chu, his eyes fell on Dai Zhou in front of him.

Dai Zhou looked at Zhao Chen's face with a calm expression.

"Zhao Chen, I know that you have a grudge against what happened in the court yesterday. I can pay the so-called tolls, but don't even think about apologizing!" Dai Zhou took a few deep breaths and then slowly said to Zhao Chen .

He knew that Zhao Chen was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Otherwise, what does a businessman who can't fight with eight poles have to do with him, Zhao Chen?

Dai Zhou also knew that Zhao Chen was deeply favored by the emperor.

Today, I am stuck here with Zhao Chen. The longer it lasts, the less good it will be for me.

He can give money, but an apology is absolutely impossible.

Dai Zhou's attitude changed a lot after meeting the head of the Cui family in Qinghe.

At least, he ignored Zhao Chen at first!

"I still say the same thing. Either Master Dai leaves now and wants to enter the city, so he has to pay and apologize!" Zhao Chen was not moved at all.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Dai Zhou to speak, he retreated to the back, and Cheng Chumo and others immediately surrounded him.

"Zhao Chen, I will remember what happened today." Dai Zhou looked in the direction of Zhao Chen, said slowly, and shouted to the attendants around him.

Said "Let's go!"

In front of everyone, Dali Temple Shaoqing's motorcade slowly turned around and drove out of the city.

"Damn it, the young minister of Dali Temple was kicked out by the Zhaoxian County Guild. I thought the Zhaoxian County Guild would compromise and let them in, but I didn't expect..."

"Today is really an eye-opener. This county official doesn't even give face to the young minister of Dali Temple."

"Further up, there are six ministers, left and right servants, and these people."

"Tell me, if the emperor and the empress pass through here, will the county prince also collect tolls?"

"This...should not be possible!"

The people's comments reached Li Shimin's ears, and at this time, the guards happened to drive the carriage over.

"Guanyin, let's get in the carriage!" Li Shimin pulled Queen Changsun into the carriage.

The carriage drove towards the city gate.

…

"This Dai Zhou has such a stubborn temper that he actually turned around and went somewhere else."

"Although this is embarrassing, it still saves face by not apologizing to the merchants."

Beside Zhao Chen, several people were talking.

From the bottom of their hearts, they didn't want to see Zhao Chen having an ugly fight with Dai Zhou.

After all, Dai Zhou was the young minister of Dali Temple and an old minister.

Most of the officials in the court would give him face.

There is no benefit to Zhao Chen from falling out with him.

"Cheng Er, Qin San, Luo Tong, you guys, take people to follow Dai Zhou's convoy. Whichever city gate they go to, you go to that city gate to stop him."

"I only have one thing to say. If he doesn't pay or apologize, he will never be able to enter the city gate."

"If there is not enough manpower, Luo Tong, you go find someone." Zhao Chen interrupted the conversation of several people and said.

"What?"

"No

Let Dai Zhou enter the city? "

"The other city gates are not under our control. If something happens, it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain it to you."

"Zhao Da, if we don't care, Dai Zhou has already given in, we..."

Several people were really surprised by the order given to Zhao Chen.

Preventing Dai Zhou from entering the city will force people to a dead end.

Even if Dai Zhou finally compromised, how could they explain the emperor's situation?

"You just go..."

"Ahem!"

A carriage drove past the city gate, and there was a cough from the carriage.

Zhao Chen looked up and saw Old Li sticking his head out of the carriage!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Cheng Chumo and others were instantly startled. Before they could salute, they saw Li Shimin waving his hand to signal everyone to leave.

And those merchants who had seen the emperor in the court before were trembling even more now.

The emperor actually came here.

This County Duke is not so crazy that he even dares to accept His Majesty's money.

For God's sake, please don't!

We don't want anything!

All the merchants wailed in their hearts.

"Boy Zhao, are you still happy today?" Old Li Tou asked Zhao Chen with a smile.

"In general, except for a few stubborn ones, everyone else is very good." Zhao Chen nodded, looking weak.

He felt that there was no point in defending the city here.

After taking over the family head of Cui family in Qinghe, no officials left Mingdemen.

Zhao Chen's previous revenge plan seems to have failed!

Dai Zhou also turned around and left, which was really meaningless.

"Zhao Chen, go back early in the evening, pay attention to your health, and try not to have conflicts with others, okay!" Queen Changsun's voice suddenly came from the carriage.

It wasn't an order, it wasn't a casual remark, it was a request.

Fang Yi stood straight

On the side, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

He recognized the Queen's voice inside.

He also knew that the queen took great care of Zhao Chen.

But the words just now should definitely not be spoken by the queen and her ministers.

No matter how much I care about you, you should never have such a tone.

"Did you hear clearly, kid? It's getting dark. Go back quickly. We will all go to your house later." Li Shimin and Zhao Chen scolded lightly.

Li Shimin just heard that Zhao Chen wanted Cheng Chumo and others to stop Dai Zhou outside the city.

This is absolutely not possible.

Dai Zhou was the young minister of Dali Temple, and what Zhao Chen did at Mingdemen was his duty.

Even if it's a bit excessive, others can't say anything.

But if you go to other gates to stop Dai Zhou and prevent him from entering the city, this would be an extremely terrible thing.

Who dares to embarrass a fourth-grade official so unscrupulously at the feet of the Emperor?

If Zhao Chen really did this, he would definitely be attacked by the officials.

Even more terrifying than the impact of Cui Yan's death.

Zhao Chen also understood the meaning of Lao Li Tou's words, and was shocked in his heart.

I secretly thought that I was a little too arrogant today, and almost made a big mistake.

"Well, I understand." Zhao Chen nodded and reached out to Li Shimin in the car window.

"What?" Li Shimin was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Pay the two pennies for the toll." Zhao Chen almost choked to death before his words were heard by the people behind him.

This is truly desperate.

He even dares to accept money from the emperor!

"What did you say?" Old Li Tou asked out of nowhere.

Although he had already made this preparation when he came in the carriage.

But now, there is still no reaction for a while.

"Pay the money, four coins. You will definitely come in again later, and that will be eight coins. Please pay the money." Zhao Chen repeated indifferently.
