Chapter 157 Don’t I Have You Behind Me?

After finishing a long paragraph, Zhao stopped adding more money. Instead, he quietly retreated to the eaves, took off the wine gourd hanging from his waist and drank it full.

He understands that persuasion is different from negotiation. Negotiations should be carried out in one go. Whoever fails to withstand the situation first will be at a disadvantage first. But persuasion is different. It must be moved with emotion, understood with reason, and advanced layer by layer, in order to break down the barriers bit by bit and finally achieve the goal.

Now that the emotion has been completed, you need to give the other party some time to chew it slowly. As for whether it is right or not, it doesn't matter. Whether the emotion is right or not, it just depends on whether it is in line with one's heart.

Zheng Rongqing stood in the snow with his head lowered, like a statue. He couldn't help but notice that there was some truth and some use in Zhao's words, but deep down in his heart he also vaguely agreed with the "wrong theory".

Why did I study so hard for so many years? Selfishly speaking, it is for the sake of high official position and generous salary; noble speaking, it is for the purpose of displaying talents and learning. Now that the opportunity is so close, how could he not be tempted.

It's a bit dirty, but...

He was struggling in his heart. The books of saints for many years told him that he should be aboveboard, but the unwillingness in his heart kept shouting: "Promise him, promise him!"

"Rong Qing, what's wrong with you?" The suppression suddenly disappeared, and the princess couldn't wait to run down the pavilion and patted the snowflakes on Zheng Rongqing's shoulders.

"fine......"

Upon seeing this, Zhao knew that Zheng Rongqing was struggling, and it was time to add fuel to the fire. But we have already used emotion, and we must use reason.

After thinking about it in my mind, I sorted out my words and said decisively, "Consort Zheng and the princess are really in love, which is enviable..."

"It's just a pity..."

These words made the princess's anger that had calmed down rise up again. She stared at Zhao Jue eagerly and said, "There is no need for Mr. Zhao to tell us what's going on between us and our husband!"

Zhao didn't mind being dirty, so he sat directly on the steps and said regretfully, "I remember the prince-in-law was the third flower, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. If it weren't for the son of the prince and the grandson of the chief minister, everything is still unknown. Bad luck... "

"There's no such thing as bad luck, it's just that my skills are inferior to others..." Zheng Rongqing hugged the princess, her expression returned to normal, and she sighed softly.

"Okay! What a skill!" Zhao already understood what he meant, and the next step was just to give the princess a reason.

"You know, Prince Consort, there are only three ways to go up: military merit, attachment and service to the dragon. Military merit is not your turn, there are so many princes waiting for you. As for attachment, you are the Prince Consort, who is willing to accept you? ?”

Before she finished speaking, the princess had already frowned. Although the words didn't sound good, the truth was this. If you want to be a dog, you have to be accepted by someone. Even if a wild dog kills a wolf, it will be useless. It will be hungry when it should be.

I have never heard of wild dogs taming people. I have only heard of people taming wild dogs with a few bones.

After all, he was a person who had received re-education in Zhao Prison. Among them, Guan Qiao Zheng Rongqing immediately figured it out, "What do you mean?"

The two of them raised their hands and pointed to the sky at the same time, saying nothing.

"Isn't this kind of thing too big? I'm just a scholar."

The only word that came out of his words was "fear of death". This actually made Zhao appreciate it a little more. It was a good thing to be afraid of death. As long as a person is afraid of death, he will be careful in doing things and make fewer mistakes.

"Don't you have me by your side..." Zhao smiled and made a promise that was not a promise. He believed that Zheng Rongqing was a smart person and could understand the meaning of his words.

Even for this reason, Zheng Rongqing still doesn't understand. What can Zhao decide with just a fourth grade? It's just that there is Lu Wenyu behind Zhao Jiu, and who is behind Lu Wenyu?

it goes without saying!

The two of them stared at each other, understanding each other's meaning from their eyes. Zhao took out the badge of Zhen Fu Envoy from his arms, placed it on the steps, and said with a smile, "Prince-in-law, you can think about it again. If there is no bargaining, a business is not perfect!"

"If you think clearly, come to Qianggen Alley and find me with the token."

"It's really disturbing that I came to your door rashly. I hope the princess will forgive me and don't embarrass anyone who has nothing to do with me."

After bowing his hands and apologizing, Li Xun decisively stood up and walked out.

Some words don’t need to be said too clearly, but leaving them blank is more beautiful. Zhao believed that Zheng Rongqing would not let go of this opportunity. If Zheng Rongqing was really a bearish person, he would not have chatted with him for so long and would not have asked the last question.

As for the princess, if Zheng Rongqing can't even find someone to sleep with, what's the use of having him?

For two days in a row, Zhao nodded normally and didn't take this matter to heart. In fact, there are no benefits to getting promoted. It just changes the value room, from the original second floor to an independent value room like the third master.

There are almost no other changes. Maybe Zhao Yu is not busy to begin with, or maybe the new year is approaching and there is not much busy. It’s still the same as before, light the meal, drink tea, and go back to the yard.

The capital city was calm and calm, just like a gust of wind blowing in the snow. It's just that when it blows on my body, I feel a biting coldness. After it blows, I feel nothing. Snow is still snow, cold is still cold, everything is as usual.

On the afternoon of the third day, Zhao drank the remaining tea in the cup and exhaled comfortably. Putting on his big cloak and holding his newly issued commanding officer badge, he stepped on the snow back to the yard.

As soon as I entered the alley, I saw a figure holding an umbrella standing in front of my house. Judging from the snow under my feet, I had been waiting for a while.

A smile appeared on Zhao's face. That's right. How much are those illusory things worth? The actual things you hold in your hands are yours.

It seems that Zheng Rongqing has figured it out.

He turned around and went into the restaurant, packed a table of food and drinks, and walked into the yard with his food box. He patted Zheng Rongqing on the shoulder from behind and said with a smile, "You've been waiting for a long time. It's my fault. I happened to change my badge today and it wasted some time."

"Let's go in and talk. It's snowing outside, so it's not convenient."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked in. Behind him, Zheng Rongqing shook off the snow on his body. His legs were already a little numb from standing, so he could only follow step by step.

He took off his coat, laid out the food, then sat down and said with a smile, "Zhao's salary is not high and he can only afford some simple meals. Please don't mind, Prince Consort."

Zheng Rongqing also took off his cotton robe and sat down, pouring a glass of wine for each of them, "Zheng also came from a poor background, and his family fell into decline when he was young. If it weren't for the help of the elders in the clan, even studying might have been a luxury. With this kind of thing, The food is already very good.”

"I'm sorry for the hardships of the people's lives. Do you think that your consort has figured it out when you come today?" Zhao didn't move his chopsticks. He first asked about the purpose of his visit to avoid wasting food.

"I've thought about it." Zheng Rongqing took out his belt card and put it on the table, pushed it in front of Zhao Jiu, and said with a smile, "Being an official in the court is nothing more than being loyal to the emperor and loving the people. Wherever you do things, you do things for the emperor. How can you push back?"

Zhao put his finger on the waist badge and smiled happily.

"Hahaha, I knew Prince Consort Zheng was a smart man. He would definitely not disappoint me. It seems so."

He raised his glass and said, "Let us work together."

"For the sake of the emperor, for the sake of the world, get rid of a little heart disease."
