Chu Suiliang watched with a dark look on his face as the playful and smiling General Cheng jumped up to him.
"General Cheng, please respect yourself. You are an important official of the imperial court."
General Cheng stroked his thick beard, which was as thick as a steel needle, and looked at the thin Chu Suiliang, who was half a head shorter than himself, with a smile.
"Yes, I am an important official of the imperial court. What's wrong?"
Zhang Xuansu also stood over, shoulder to shoulder with Chu Suiliang, not to be outdone, and looked at this fat and strong evil man in the court, a scum of important ministers.
"General Cheng, since you are an important minister of the imperial court, you should follow the advice of your ministers."
General Cheng laughed and spread his hands.
"I want to hear it too, but the problem is, the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses are none of my business."
"!!!"
Zhang Xuansu's face immediately turned green, and he shouted with a pale face.
"Cheng Zhijie, this is above the imperial court, in front of His Majesty. How can you say dirty words?"
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyelids, the old god was speaking.
"What I told you, Lao Cheng, is the truth. My son and a group of juniors founded the Han-Tang Trading Company."
"He is not a court official now. Whether he is willing to listen to your suggestions or not, you can go to him yourself. It is none of my business."
"???"
"Cheng Zhijie, please don't disrespect me before you!"
Fang Xuanling really can't stand it anymore, Lao Cheng, you are so shameless, you are such a jerk, you don't care about the situation.
I didn't see that His Majesty was about to shrink under the imperial desk. After a while, the ministers had not yet lost their manners, but Your Majesty lost their manners first. What should I do?
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with a distorted face, buried his head deeply, covering his mouth with one hand and pinching his thigh with the other.
Forget it, just pretend that I am deaf. At this time, let him, old man Cheng, have more skills. It is important.
General Cheng smiled with a thick-skinned face, raised his hands in the direction of the imperial court indifferently, and then continued to gather towards the group, spitting on the officials who were standing shoulder to shoulder.
"Okay, okay, your majesty, please don't blame me if old Cheng behaves inappropriately, you guys don't even think about it.
My son has been dismissed from his post by His Majesty, and now he is just a common man. He is willing to give the Supreme Emperor a training palace, so what do you do?"
"What are you talking about? Why, if you have the ability, you can spend all your wealth to build a palace for His Majesty in Chang'an.
You see, if I, Old Cheng, can stop you, maybe I, Old Cheng, can still beat gongs and drums to promote your loyalty to His Majesty..."
"If you can't bear to part with the three melons and two dates in your pocket, then stop chatting here..."
Cheng Yaojin put one hand on his waist and gestured with the other, spraying all the giggling ministers in front of him.
The spray made all the ministers look pale and angry, but it was not good and they did not even dare to refute.
Who would be willing to spend all their wealth to build some kind of palace for His Majesty? Why should I use my money?
It was precisely because no one was willing to take out the coffin book that they faced Cheng Yaojin's unrestricted complaints.
Although all the ministers were so angry that they could only hold it in.
Over there, General Cheng's friends were gathering in a group to watch the show, enjoying the misfortune.
General Yuchi, who had an unhappy face, stroked his long beard and commented very professionally.
"Old Cheng is not good at martial arts, but this mouth is much better than his martial arts..."
Li Ji on the side smiled happily.
"No, Lao Cheng has been quarreling with scholars in the court for so many years, not thirty or fifty times, but how can he be seventeen or eighteen times?"
Li Keshi, an experienced driver, commented with a very hypocritical expression.
"Eh... I don't know how many times Brother Zhijie has received salary in these years."
As soon as these words came out, all the old brothers who knew Lao Cheng very well couldn't stand it anymore, and they all staggered around laughing.
Hearing the smiles of the old brothers, General Cheng became even more proud.
The faces of the ministers who had been sprayed with shame by General Cheng became darker and darker.
Well, needless to say, Cheng Zhijie’s gang of bad friends and rough old men must be laughing at us gentlemen.
"Generals, we are discussing something, can't you all keep quiet for a moment?"
"Ouch? What does it have to do with you that I am laughing at Old Cheng, why are you here to cause trouble for me?!"
Yuchi Gong suddenly became unhappy. He raised his eyes and raised his front to argue.
Li Ji tried to persuade him very hypocritically, but in reality he was secretly poking at Gong Huo, seeing the situation becoming more and more chaotic.
At this time, Li Shimin, who finally controlled his mood swings and stopped grinning subconsciously, stood up, patted the table a few times and shouted.
"That's enough! Shut up, everyone."
After hearing His Majesty's angry shout, all the ministers rolled their eyes, and I knew that it was indeed like this again.
Whenever His Majesty is not willing to listen to his ministers, General Cheng can always interrupt in time, and then just throw a bad snail into the soup pot.
Just like now, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was full of anger, expressed his strong indignation against the behavior of his ministers and servants who disrupted the court.
All the ministers could do was to bow down and plead guilty, and then His Majesty excused himself from being in a bad mood and having a headache.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty had already started making arrangements when Cheng Sanlang first entered the capital."
"Yes, yes, it's good now. Cheng Sanlang, who is the most favored in His Majesty's eyes, has been dismissed from his post and is idle, so he can be regarded as an ordinary citizen."
"And he happened to be the person in charge of the Han-Tang Commercial Bank. The Han-Tang Commercial Bank wanted to build a palace for His Majesty the Supreme Emperor in Luoyang. It was completely a private practice."
"Sigh... We know clearly that this is His Majesty's strategy, but we can't do anything."
"You don't have to worry too much. Haha, if you want to build a palace, the number of manpower required is by no means a small amount."
"Everyone, remember, keep an eye on the Han and Tang dynasties. If they forcefully summon the people of Guanzhong, they will be impeached when the time comes."
"But what if the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants spent a lot of money to recruit ordinary people as craftsmen?"
"Then it's even simpler. A private business firm recruits ordinary people as craftsmen. Can't we impeach him for delaying the farming season?"
"Huh? This is really a good idea..."
"Haha, and please remember to contact the many trading houses in Guanzhong and tell them not to deal with Han and Tang trading houses."
"Building a palace will definitely require a lot of materials, especially wood. As long as we can persuade those merchants to seize the materials and manpower."
"Let's see what else Cheng Sanlang can do? Is it possible that he can also drag all the soldiers of the Cheng family to Luoyang to work as craftsmen?"
#####
Li Shimin looked at the report delivered by the embroidered envoys with a livid face, which was about the private chats of the ministers and workers.
Quite a few of them are aimed at Cheng Sanlang and the matter of preparing to build a palace in Luoyang...
"These bastards are unable to use their methods in the court, and they actually want to use these despicable methods to sabotage my grand plan."
Zhao Kun, who was standing at the door, heard His Majesty's deep roar in the palace, and his eyelids jumped wildly. At this moment, he saw Cheng Sanlang walking quickly towards this side.
