Chapter 712: Wooing
"Sir. Fang is above the court. How do you, one by one,?。 Out of the main hall, he couldn't help but complain to Qu Yifu: "You know that Chu Yi is a rare official under this king. Although he has a bad temper and has many misdemeanors when he is in the world, he has always been conscientious and cautious in his work, and there are few arsenic leaks. On weekdays, he helped the king a lot, and it was already a little inappropriate for his father to go to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute to him before. How this time, you again,"
"Your Highness" glanced around, and Qu Yifu spoke softly to interrupt Ju Zhisheng's words. Stretching out his hand and pulling the sleeve of the eldest prince to a relatively quiet corner, the old man said in a deep voice: "It's not that the old minister is unwilling to intercede. To save General Chu from fire and water, General Chu had already committed public anger earlier and was ostracized by the ministers. Didn't His Highness see it, between the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Nine times out of ten, even His Majesty and his old man also have a little bit of abandonment of it, otherwise at the beginning, such a laborious but thankless errand as a tribute would not have fallen on the head of one of his lieutenants. ”
"That's true, but
"General Chu has some talents, and he is indeed extremely serious and cautious in doing things, but compared to his shortcomings, as well as the disgust of His Majesty and his ministers, his talents have become not worth mentioning." Without waiting for Ju Zhisheng's words to finish, Qu Yifu interrupted him again and said: "On the one hand, he is an abandoned son who is full of shortcomings and has no future at all, and on the other hand, the goodwill and favor of His Majesty and the courtiers. ”
He opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word to refute it, sighed, Ju Zhisheng bowed down and bowed lightly to Qu Yifu, and said softly with some discouragement: "What Mr. taught is that this king is a little short-sighted. ”
"Weichen knows that His Royal Highness is still a little unhappy" glanced at Gou Zhisheng, Qu Yifu raised his voice and said: "But since ancient times, those who have achieved great things must have the courage to give and gain, and Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has not also undergone the changes of Xuanwumen?" ”
"Furthermore" After a light pause, Qu Yifu continued: "According to Chu Yi's temperament on weekdays, if His Highness has been protecting him, he will bring great trouble to His Highness sooner or later, and now His Highness can ruthlessly abandon it, and it is not a good thing for His Highness to be unpaid." ”
Ju Wentai has never wanted to pass on the throne, and according to their Gaochang rules, the matter of establishing a prince. Living according to talent, there is no difference between young and old, not only Ju Zhisheng, the eldest prince, but also Princess Zhiyuan and Jin Ye, all have the same opportunity to compete for the throne. If the leopard outwits because of a catty. Chu Yi offended the entire court, it was not worth it.
As the number one minister of the eldest prince's family, Qu Yifu had to speak out in the court. lest Ju Zhisheng cause dislike and alienation from the old man of their family.
"Sir is right, it's just that this king can't let go for a while, don't blame him." bowed down to Qu Yifu again, Gou Zhisheng's face was still a little unconcerned, as if he was still reluctant to give up Chu Yi, the deputy general.
"Your Highness is serious, Your Highness is benevolent, and it is also the blessing of my Gaochang people.
Bu slapped Ju Zhisheng on the back, Qu Yifu bowed his head and saluted, and when he bent over, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but skim a sneer, this big prince would act when he was younger than his old man, he would come with good people, and I would top the wicked people, all of them were fake and righteous.
"Just you?" Looking at the young man with a straight face in front of him, Chu Yi's face was full of disbelief. Picking up the tea bowl on the table and taking a sip, Chu Yi said: "It's not that the official looks down on Mr., but that Mr. is a businessman." No matter how much money you have, no matter how much energy you have, how can you influence the monarch of this Tang Dynasty? ”
completely took Liu Yiyi's words as a joke, if it weren't for the fact that he admired Liu Yiyi's previous actions very much in his heart, he would have put aside Chu Yi's original temper. In the face of such a merchant clan who dared to joke with him, he had already poured tea and smashed bowls and threw people out of the house.
"Hehe" Seeing that Chu Yi's face became a little unkind, Liu Yiyi shook his head disappreciably and chuckled. Learning from Chu Yi's appearance, he also picked up the tea bowl in front of him and said lightly: "It's not that Liu is boasting and brazenly putting gold on his face, Lord Chu has heard of Liu before, but he knows that Liu can fight for today's status, what does he rely on?" ”
"Status?" Put down the tea bowl in your hand. Chu Yi raised his head again and looked Liu Yiyi up and down. Only then did I remember that this is a post house, and it is the place where the Tang Dynasty receives and places envoys from various countries, Liu Yiyi is a businessman and craftsman, how did he get here?
"Healing!" Ignored Chu Yi's reaction. Liu Yiyi said to himself: "Although Liu has never had any confidence in his medical skills. In the past, when I was in my hometown, it was okay for cattle and sheep and poultry, but for people, I never thought about it. ”
"But the world is strange, and I have to say that Liu's Baozhuo is also very good" A few are His Royal Highness the Prince, then the eldest grandson queen, and then the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Yiguo, and they get the disease. can hit Liu's hand every time.
A half-toned veterinarian has been able to get to where he is today, and sometimes he looks back. It's like a dream. Now is it. Many times, Liu Yiyi also sighed in his heart. Thanks to my good memory, the things I learned in school are a bit complicated, otherwise there are so many incidents and problems. He's really hard to deal with.
"So, the gentleman is still a healer?" Is this still human? Chu Yi stared at Liu Yiyi with two bull's eyes, a businessman, a craftsman, and also knew medical skills, how could a person have so much energy to learn and be proficient in so many knowledgeable mathematics?
"Also, is it possible that the crisis in Chang'an City a few days ago was also the work of Mr. Liu?" When Chang'an City changed, Chu Yi had already arrived in the city, and he didn't know the specific situation, but he had heard the news that several ministers of the Tang Dynasty had fallen ill at the same time.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be grounded for a few days. Lord Chu's news is still so well-informed. Taking another sip of tea, Liu Yiyi praised Chu Yi with a smile, which was regarded as acknowledging Chu Yi's words.
At this time, facing a rough person like Chu Yi. Being humble doesn't make him feel much good about you. It's not a bad thing to expose yourself properly and sell yourself. Therefore, since entering this room, Liu Yiyi has uncharacteristically talked about his previous things in front of people. Appropriately increase the weight and price of yourself in the center of Chu Yi's eyes, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about the rest of the matter.
"Say so" Chu Yi's two bull's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head and stared at Liu Yiyi tightly. said: "Can Mr. really help Chu?" ”
Like a drowning person, he grabbed a straw that could save his life, and he was depressed for so long in Yiwan, and finally saw a glimmer of light, how could Chu Yi let it go easily, and between speaking, even the title was changed from the previous "official" to "Chu" and lowered his posture.
"Liu once sent someone to your country to buy Bai Diezi at a high price, Lord Chu must have heard of it, right?" Seeing that Chu Yi's mind was hot, Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea, put him aside to dry it lightly, and asked another unrelated question out loud.
"That's natural, didn't Fang Chu say it. Your government is collecting white stacks in the country. For the people of the country, it can be regarded as a great good deed, Chu Mou's heart, right Mr. I am also very grateful to your house. Speaking of this, Chu Yi, who has always been rude, couldn't help but say nice things to look at Liu Yiyi carefully, and continued Fang Cai's words and asked: "Mr. Fang Cai said that he could help Chu meet the Tang Emperor earlier, I don't know."
"Lord Chu may not know yet" deliberately took Chu Yi's words into account, and Liu Yiyi said out loud: "The day before yesterday, one of the stewards of my Liu Mansion in your country who was responsible for the acquisition of Bai Diezi was detained for no reason. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Chu Yi's heart suddenly burst out, and his thoughts about the Internet heating up suddenly cooled down again, and he guessed some of Liu Yiyi's purpose in his heart.
"Mr. is trying to pass Chu"? Halfway through the words, Chu Yi couldn't help but bow his head and smile bitterly, and said to Liu Yi with a somewhat depressed face: "If that's the case, Mr. please go back, if Chu's words are useful and can persuade His Majesty to release people, the envoy who came to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty this time will not be Chu." ”
His own situation in Gaochang, Chu Yi understands best in his heart, in addition to being able to say something from the eldest prince, in front of His Majesty and those courtiers, he will not even have a chance to speak.
"Lord Chu misunderstood, Liu didn't mean to embarrass adults." Seeing that Chu Yi was once again stimulated, Liu Yiyi said softly: "In front of the emperor, Liu will come forward to deal with Lord Chu, no matter what, Liu will try his best to ensure that Lord Chu can return to your country safely." ”
"Oh? What does that gentleman want Chu to do? "There is no merit and no luck, Chu Yi will not believe that there will be such a cheap incident on these, so. Some words are better to be picked out in advance.
"Actually, there is nothing" Seeing Chu Yi like this, Liu Yiyi smiled and said his requirements in a timely manner: "I just hope that in the future, in the Gaochang country, wherever there is a business of my Liu family, if I can, I hope that Lord Chu can take care of it in the open or in the dark and leave." Like this white stack matter, Liu is really a little scared. ”
