Chapter 1261: Consort Taizhen's Unease!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Now that Wang Chong thought about it, given Yang Zhao's personality and the fact that he had been appointed as the Chamberlain of Palace Revenues by the Sage Emperor, placing him in control over the finances of the entire empire, Yang Zhao was completely capable of intervening in this deal. How could he not be moved when he saw such a massive sum of seven hundred million taels of gold flying away, and how could he possibly accept it?!

After all, he had printed a total of one billion taels' worth of gold yuan certificates.

"Worthy brother, don't look at me like that. I know that this wasn't actually the most glorious thing to do, but when this seven hundred million taels of gold was already in our mouth, we were forced to give it back. Those Confucians were really too unjust when it came to this matter…"

Under Wang Chong's stares, Yang Zhao's voice got softer and softer.

"Haha, Big Brother, you're overthinking it! There's no need to worry about this matter. You did nothing wrong, and in fact made the best decision! In fact, you've made a major contribution on this matter!"

Wang Chong heartily laughed.

Greed was greed, but it sometimes led Yang Zhao into making the most correct decision. Since Yang Zhao had exchanged three hundred million taels of gold for gold yuan certificates, the losses inflicted by the Confucians in the peace negotiations with Arabia were somewhat more acceptable.

Yang Zhao, through his own special method, had reduced the losses for the Great Tang.

"Is– is that right?"

It was Yang Zhao's turn to be taken aback. He originally believed that he had made a grievous error, but unexpectedly, Wang Chong was practically hailing him as a hero.

"Heh, as long as you haven't placed the gold that was exchanged for the gold yuan certificates into your own pocket, there should be no problem at all," Wang Chong indifferently said.

"What are you saying? How could I ever do such a thing!?" Yang Zhao immediately roared, though his expression was slightly unnatural.

Wang Chong silently smiled. Given Yang Zhao's personality, how could he not extract a little profit? But as long as it wasn't too much, Wang Chong wouldn't expose him.

Yang Zhao took a sip of his tea. After putting it down, he had a sudden thought and brought up another matter.

"Right, worthy brother, besides the gold yuan certificates, I have another, more personal matter that I would like to trouble you with and see if you might offer any help."

"Hah, if you have any problems, just tell me them all now. If I can be of any help, I will do so to the best of my abilities," Wang Chong leisurely replied.

"This– well, it's actually not helping me. Worthy brother, you're smarter than me. This time, my younger sister entrusted me with a few words in the hopes that you could help her analyze them," Yang Zhao sternly said.

"Oh?"

Wang Chong was caught by surprise, immediately sensing that the matter Yang Zhao was talking about was different from what he had imagined and focusing his mind.
