Chapter 481 Let's see how that bastard tries to fight us in the future!
"That's rare."
"This seems to be the first time we've seen this bastard get the upper hand."
Emperor Zhu looked at Empress Ma with a broad smile and said, "Sister, can you give us another idea?"
It was a rare treat to see his good son-in-law suffer such a setback, and Emperor Zhu expressed his great pleasure, immense joy, and extreme delight.
However, Empress Ma glanced at Emperor Zhu and asked in return, "How many more times do you want to manipulate him?"
Emperor Zhu replied without hesitation, "We want to have him under our control every time!"
After a slight pause, Emperor Zhu added, "Of course, we also know that everything should be done in moderation, and there must be a limit to how much we can control him."
"But aren't we in Dengzhou Prefecture?"
"And you're here too, girl."
"Shouldn't we take this opportunity to really get our hands on him a few times?"
Empress Ma gave a slight snort and said, "If you try to manipulate him, will he feel comfortable? If he doesn't feel comfortable, what do you think he will do?"
After Empress Ma said that, Emperor Zhu immediately fell silent.
As the saying goes, only the person whose son-in-law is truly familiar with him.
That bastard has never been one to suffer a loss.
This time, his sore spot has been exploited, and he will definitely find a way to retaliate later.
It just so happens that during this period, our Biao'er was staying in the capital to oversee the country.
In other words, this bastard will find a way to vent his anger on the ball.
But then he thought about it again and Emperor Zhu felt relieved.
His revenge was against Zhu Biao, what does it have to do with Zhu Chongba?
Besides, Biao'er will inherit our throne in the future.
When Biao'er inherited the throne, the officials in the court were mostly from the Ningyang and Dengzhou factions.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. Can there be any good people in the Ningyang and Dengzhou factions?
Upon realizing this, Emperor Zhu was immediately relieved.
"We know that bastard will try to make things difficult for others when he's upset."
"But right now, it's Biao'er who's in charge of the country. If he's causing trouble, it'll be causing trouble for our Biao'er."
"Perfect, it'll also let Biao'er get used to it in advance."
"After all, Ningyang County and Dengzhou Prefecture don't produce many good people."
Seeing Emperor Zhu becoming more and more self-righteous as he spoke, Empress Ma was so angry that she laughed.
You, Zhu Chongba, are willing to sacrifice even your own son just to make yourself feel better?
Empress Ma glared at Emperor Zhu with annoyance and snorted coldly, "We'll talk about controlling him later."
"As for now, you should first figure out how to get out of the mess your good son-in-law has made for you."
Emperor Zhu was slightly taken aback and asked, "Is this a trap he set for us?"
After just a moment's thought, Emperor Zhu's expression changed drastically.
broken!
I was only thinking about getting back at that bastard, but I forgot about the customs that bastard mentioned.
What does our old Zhu know about customs?
I doubt even Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen understood it.
So, we still have to lose a pound of small dragon balls?
Emperor Zhu glanced unconsciously at the room where the luggage was placed.
How much?
Not much!
Seeing the pained look on Emperor Zhu's face, Empress Ma chuckled and mocked, "How about that?"
"You seemed quite pleased with yourself when you were manipulating our son-in-law just now."
"Why can't you laugh now?"
Emperor Zhu could no longer laugh.
I'm absolutely devastated!
"Girl, you have to think of something for us."
Emperor Zhu looked at Empress Ma with pleading eyes and said, "We only brought three catties of Xiaolongtuan. We gave him two catties, and now we only have one catty left."
"If we give any more away, there won't be any left."
"Just in case something else happens later..."
Empress Ma sighed helplessly and said, "You, you."
"You're the father-in-law, and you're always thinking about arguing with your son-in-law."
"That's really something."
Emperor Zhu chuckled twice, his face thick with shame, and said, "You can't entirely blame us, can you?"
"As you just said, I'm the father-in-law."
"Then think about it, when we were sons-in-law under our father-in-law, how did we treat the commander-in-chief?"
"Take another look at that bastard."
"How can he treat his father-in-law like that?"
Seeing that Emperor Zhu was directly shifting the blame onto Yang Shaofeng, Empress Ma sighed helplessly again and said, "Didn't he say that customs is just for inspection and tax collection? It's different from the original Maritime Trade Office, but not much different."
"You don't understand the Maritime Trade Office, but do you think Liu Bowen did?"
"Even if Liu Bowen didn't understand, isn't there Zhou Jingxin in the capital?"
"Or you could just randomly select an official from Ningyang County to oversee this so-called customs."
"Let's set it up directly in Dengzhou."
"Can he just watch his students mess things up?"
As Empress Ma finished speaking, Emperor Zhu's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Empress Ma sighed softly once again.
The father-in-law and son-in-law, who are both over seventy years old, are like two mischievous children who never grew up, constantly bickering.
That's just so childish.
Besides, shouldn't you, Zhu Chongba, have some self-awareness?
If it weren't for so many people rebelling this time, and feeling sorry for your questioning-the-life-of-life look, do you think I would have taught you how to handle your good son-in-law?
Besides, I've already taught you once, and you still haven't learned it. Shouldn't you look for the reason within yourself?
But Emperor Zhu was practically laughing himself silly at this point.
We are a bit slow.
But our girl is smart.
The key is that my sister cares about me.
As long as we act pitiful, our sister can help us control that bastard.
Let's see how that bastard tries to fight us now!
……
Just as Emperor Zhu thought he had found the key to controlling Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Biao, far away in the capital, was staring at each other with Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.
As for Yang Siyi, the Minister of Revenue, he wished he could disappear right now, and at the same time, he secretly resented why he was the Minister of Revenue.
If he had been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, this mess wouldn't have gotten to him.
After thinking it over again, Yang Siyi sighed helplessly.
So what if I get a different position in another department?
As long as Emperor Zhu doesn't change his son-in-law, he'll inevitably be tormented no matter which department he hides in.
This is life.
Yang Siyi's head ached more and more as he thought about it, so he shrank back even further, trying to hide himself.
Zhu Biao, however, was too lazy to pay any attention to Yang Siyi at this moment.
Or rather, Zhu Biao knew in his heart that this mess was not something that a mere Minister of Revenue could solve.
After all, the root of the problem lies in Dengzhou Prefecture.
Let alone the Minister of Revenue, even the Duke of Han, who was the Left Chancellor of the Secretariat, might not be able to solve this problem.
After a long silence, Zhu Biao looked at Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen and said, "The only solution now is to send someone to Dengzhou again."
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen exchanged a glance, and immediately bowed together, saying, "Your Highness is wise."
