Chapter 733 Didn’t you ask His Majesty for a topic? (Please subscribe and vote)
Seeing the pleased look on Wei Wang Li Tai's face, Zheng Shilang felt that he needed to remind him.
"Your Highness, such an article costs so much, do you really want to distribute it for free?"
After hearing this, King Wei Li Tai's expression suddenly froze, and he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
This knife hurt my heart a little bit, and in the blink of an eye, the two thousand four hundred swords were gone...
But the problem was that when he thought of Cheng Chubi, King Li Tai of Wei regained his fighting spirit and gritted his teeth.
"Yes, this issue will be distributed for free. I want to distribute it for free."
"Then the next issue..." Zheng Shilang said hesitantly. These words seemed to have stretched out a sharp knife.
King Li Tai of Wei gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, saying tragically and angrily, "Five coins a share."
"Your Highness is indeed a man of great ambition and perseverance, and I really admire him." Shilang Zheng bowed to Wei King Li Qin with a look of admiration on his face.
If you say this, why you are murmuring in your heart is another matter.

At dusk, Cheng Chubi wandered back to Lu Guogong's mansion and saw the servants whispering and whispering in fear.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel curious. "What's wrong with you?"
After the servant glanced at the door of the mansion furtively, he whispered in a low voice.
"Third Young Master, I am in a very bad mood today. When I entered the house, I always had a dark face..."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but be a little confused. Who could make his father so miserable? Could it be that the emperor's boss deducted his father's salary?
I couldn't help but lower my voice and asked, "Did my father have his salary deducted again?"
"..." The two servants looked at the third young master who was gossiping about his own father with strange expressions, and shook their heads quickly in unison.
"I really don't know. Third Young Master, you'd better ask the master yourself."
Cheng Chubi immediately laughed, thinking that I am stupid? No matter how thick-skinned and rough-toned I am, I am not using it to practice boxing and kicking for my biological father.
Ignoring these two bastard servants who were encouraging him, Cheng Chubi adjusted his mood and then quickly walked towards the house.
Cheng Chubi climbed up the steps and came to the front hall where several calligraphy and painting works of art that Cheng Chubi had tricked and abducted due to his strength were hung, which was a strange mix and match with the style of the copycat Juyi Hall.
Then I saw my biological father sitting there with a look of displeasure on his face, picking up the wine glass in front of him and drinking heavily.
The eldest brother and the second brother next to me had sneaky expressions and honest postures, and their eyes were rolling around, but they didn't dare to let out a fart.
It wasn't until Cheng Chubi stepped into the hall, and when the two brothers saw it, the second brother Cheng Chuliang pointed directly at Cheng Chubi and said to his biological father, Cheng Yaojin.
"Dad, the third child is here, look!"
#####
"???" Cheng Chubi looked confused at his second brother Cheng Chuliang, who looked excited, and his eldest brother Cheng Chumo, who looked a bit gleeful at others' misfortune.
And his biological father, Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting behind the chief case officer and looking at him unhappily.
"Third brother, come here..." Cheng Yaojin raised his fingers towards the third boy who looked similar to himself.
Cheng Chubi quickly came to his father, bowed respectfully, and sat down obediently.
Cheng Yaojin looked at his biological son with a complicated expression, shook his head and asked.
"Your second brother's marriage will be postponed for two years. Alas... I heard that it was your boy who instigated it from His Majesty?"
"???" Cheng Chubi had a dark look on his face. Is the word "encourage" appropriate to use here?
"Dad, I didn't instigate Your Majesty. I just told Your Majesty from the perspective of a doctor.
Over the years in our Tang Dynasty, after young women got married, it was very easy for them to suffer from dystocia or even death due to early pregnancy."
"Perhaps His Majesty was touched after hearing this, so he postponed the wedding date of my second brother and His Highness the Princess."
Having said this, Cheng Chubi shyly turned back to his second brother and showed an "I am doing this for your own good, no need to thank me" expression.
I saw my second brother, Cheng Chuliang, bulging his eyes, with an unhappy expression on his face.
Cheng Yaojin looked stunned, smiled approvingly at Cheng Chubi, and stroked his thick beard like a steel needle.
"It turns out it's because of this. Let me tell you, you kid must not do anything random. It turns out you did another good thing that benefits the country and the people."
"Okay, second brother, did you see what your third brother said?"
Cheng Chubi reacted immediately and looked at his second brother Cheng Chuliang with a dark look on his face.
"Why, could it be that the second brother thinks that I deliberately ruined your good fortune because you got married before me?"
"Ah ha... Absolutely not. Second brother, I am not that kind of person." Second brother's head swayed wildly from side to side, as if it really had nothing to do with him.
The eldest brother over there, Cheng Chumo, laughed out loud. "Fortunately, the Mo family's wife will be fifteen next year."
At this time, the second brother immediately lowered his face and complained to his own father with a pale face.
"Brother, what do you mean? Dad, look at his brother, he did it on purpose."
"Okay, boss, don't mess around, don't laugh at your brothers, or I'll deal with you."
After hearing his father's threat, the eldest brother immediately lowered his eyebrows and said yes repeatedly.
Cheng Yaojin then turned his head to look at Cheng Chubi and asked in a low voice.
"Lao San, are the four rural tribute candidates you recommended able to pass the imperial examination?"
Cheng Chubi smacked his mouth and could only tell the truth.
"The four of them are all considered rare talents. They will definitely be fine in the imperial examination, but it's hard to say what their ranking will be."
#####
"Because His Majesty also said that although it was appointed by him, there is nothing he can do if the article is too bad."
Seeing Cheng Chubi's gloomy look, Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes.
"You kid, since those four guys were chosen by His Majesty, why don't you..."
"Which one?" Cheng Chubi saw his father winking at him frequently, and was a little confused as to what his father's lewd eyes were trying to express.
"Why are you like this, kid?"
Cheng Yaojin smacked his mouth in displeasure and glanced at the boss, who was smiling playfully and comforting the depressed second son.
He lowered his voice and whispered, "You didn't ask His Majesty for a topic or anything?"
"..." Cheng Chubi looked at his own father and saw that this famous general of the Tang Dynasty who abandoned literature and turned to martial arts, how could his mind be so similar to his own...
No, no, no, it doesn’t fit in with my character as an honest child. I must insist on having strong moral character, at least in front of my biological father.
Cheng Chubi smiled shyly and scratched his head honestly. "Why are you so embarrassed, kid..."
These words made Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but roll his eyes, with a look of hatred on his face.
"Hey, you kid, you look like me, why don't you learn from your father's brains?"
"That's all, that's fine. Come, have a drink with dad."
Cheng Yaojin did not continue talking, picked up two wine glasses, touched them with Cheng Sanlang and drained them.
