Chapter 172: Surrender

When King Zhao heard this, he looked at the furnishings of the private room he was in—elegant, magnificent, clean, and comfortable, and he did spend a lot of effort to take care of it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

I don't want this Chang Shengping's family background to be so strong, King Zhao is even more reluctant to marry him, although the current world - the lowest status of merchants, not to mention the common people's family, is the royal family's food and clothing on weekdays, and it is inseparable from a vulgarity - that is, money.

King Zhao has always had no prejudice against people in business, and governs the world - not only to ensure the peace of one side, but more importantly, to make the people of the world rich, and there will be no bleak situation such as frozen bones on the road.

If Chang Shengping's daughter has no problem - King Zhao's mansion is just an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks, if the two can coexist peacefully, I am not afraid that he will be reluctant to help Chang Shengping - thinking like this, King Zhao's eyes are blazing, and his face is even more like a spring breeze.

"Uncle Chang has a good way of doing business, and this king will come to visit often!"

Chang Shengping laughed and replied very cheerfully:

"There is His Royal Highness often stepping in, that is the icing on the cake of beauty, my Tianxi Building today ushered in His Royal Highness, can be described as a flourishing - to look at the decoration here is too simple and boring, today I think about it - it is a lack of popularity. The spirit that His Royal Highness brought to the humble house is really rare! ”

Chang Shengping's beard was just right, and King Zhao smiled. In a short time - a pot of barley wine has bottomed out. Chang Shengping personally went downstairs to refill another pot, and when he closed the door and returned to his seat, he reminded King Zhao with some guilt on his face:

"Your Highness, look—this person has entered the forty mark, and this brain is not enough! Entertaining His Highness today is a serious matter, but it is too far! Haha......"

King Zhao pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and pulled his thoughts back to the right talent Chang Shengping to talk about the Li family's greed for money:

"Uncle Chang, the situation of the Li family - this palace knows a little bit about it, and this is related to why I know Miss Li Luo."

Seeing that King Zhao was finally willing to reveal the news about Li Luo, Chang Shengping thought that if he could learn about Li Luo's whereabouts from King Zhao, it would be good to go home and tell Chang Jingjing to chat with him, so he pricked up his ears and listened cautiously.

Li Luo was pushed to the school field by the Li family and went out for his brother. Within a few days, I was able to identify myself. Miss Li Luo is kind-hearted and does not want to involve the Li family in this matter, so she will tell all the causes and consequences, hoping that I will keep it secret! I still remember that she once said that her sister-in-law's mother's family gave half of her family wealth to a high-ranking official in order to hide from the world...... At this time, I thought about it again and again, Miss Liluo's sister-in-law is Ling Ai, right? ”

King Zhao single-handedly said that the Li family bribed the important ministers of the court, but there was a light expression on his face. Although the Chang family has no contact with the Li family, the troubles that make Chang Shengping secretive are after all his suggestions and his money. When it comes to criminal punishment, he naturally can't escape, because he doesn't know if Li Luo told King Zhao that the bribe was an auxiliary machine, and the method was also given by him, so Chang Shengping's nerves were extremely nervous.

Thinking about it, King Zhao drank by himself, and after saying that, he didn't look at Chang Shengping, but Chang Shengping didn't relax because King Zhao didn't point the finger at him. He tensed his spine and lingered in his mind for a short time—just to decide whether to confess his guilt on his own.

After weighing it repeatedly, Chang Shengping was out of the way, and when he was about to post the conscription order, how the Chang family and the Li family dealt with it, and what went wrong in the middle, they all told him. Because it is related to his daughter's noble and unyielding character, even if he has some problems of his own, he can't let King Zhao misunderstand Chang Jingjing's personality.

Chang Shengping opened his placket without warning, knelt in front of King Zhao's knees, and surrendered with a solemn face:

"Your Highness Qiqi - the little people are guilty!"

King Zhao pretended to be puzzled, and pretended to be confused and asked:

"Uncle Chang, what do you mean by this?"

Chang Shengping's brows were furrowed, the light in his eyes was firm and ashamed, he stared at the ground and explained to King Zhao:

"Back to Your Highness: At that time, the war situation between the two countries was urgent, and as soon as the conscription order came out, the whole country was shocked, and the people in the city were panicked. The Li family is reluctant to let Li Sheng's good career stop, and I am reluctant to let my beloved daughter stay widowed. When the Li family was at a loss, Xiaomin dared to hear that the high-ranking official was acting in favoritism, and everyone knew that he loved money, so Xiaomin proposed to try to send some money to find someone to replace Li Sheng! ”

The smile on King Zhao's face faded to nothing, and he slowly said a few words, which frightened Chang Shengping into a sweat:

"Uncle Chang - you are so bold......"

Chang Shengping kowtowed to the ground, and since there was nothing to argue with at this time, he simply let it be frank:

"Xiaomin doesn't ask His Highness to experience the selfishness and heartache of being a parent, it's just that this matter has nothing to do with Xiaomin's daughter, the idea was thought out by Xiaomin for the two families, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

King Zhao put down the wine cup expressionlessly, stared at the top of Chang Shengping's head and reprimanded:

"The ancients had a cloud - if the country lives and dies for profit, it will not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune. I think you should understand this truth-if I am defeated and retreated, and when all the suns are swallowed, do you think that the children and in-laws you have worked so hard to protect will still be able to enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world? ”

Chang Shengping didn't refute, just because King Zhao was right, and he also considered it at that time - if everyone tried their best to protect themselves, and the battlefield was full of cowards, then defeat was only a matter of time, and it was not impossible to lose his family and country. But he was so anxious at the time that he didn't care about all this.

Therefore, Chang Shengping has a guilty conscience, if King Zhao wants to punish him for a big crime, he will never complain, just ask not to involve Jiang Wen's mother and daughter.

"Your Highness, something has already happened - whether the little people were obsessed with ghosts and selfishness at that time, or they were too selfish, they have now woken up! If it is not enough, the small people are willing to bear any responsibility, and only implore His Highness not to implicate the anarchic woman! ”

Chang Shengping's daring to act and dare to make King Zhao impressed-in fact, the night he talked with Li Luo Bing Candle, judging from Li Luo's lack of a word for the Chang family, the family style of the Chang family is quite upright. And-Chang Shengping could have put the blame on the Li family when King Zhao was confused, but Chang Shengping didn't do it, which shows that this person is not so bad.

King Zhao sighed almost inaudibly—perhaps there are few people in the world who must ignore family affection like his father. It is human nature to be considerate of children, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Uncle Chang, get up - this sin of offering a plan, whether it is light or not, whether it is heavy or not, this king will make a note for you. It's a wake-up call that will knock you on in the future. ”

Chang Shengping exhaled heavily when he heard this, he brushed the beads of sweat from his head, and solemnly thanked King Zhao for his forgiveness:

"Your Highness's great benevolence and righteousness make the small people feel even more guilty! Xiaomin will definitely remember the lesson of this incident in the future, and in front of the family and the country - never do selfish acts again! Thank you, Your Highness, for forgiveness! ”

After getting up, Chang Shengping still had some palpitations, took the wine cup pushed by King Zhao and held it in his hand, and Chang Shengping almost spilled the wine.

Now that the bribery has been turned over, King Zhao no longer has a straight face, and returns to his previous harmony: (To be continued.) )
