Chapter 348: Conspiracy
Liu Che actually met him, which surprised Su Ren. When he came, Su Ren thought that someone could take over his performance, so he was already very face-saving. Unexpectedly, Liu Che actually met in person.
Weiyang Palace is the emperor's palace, built in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, is the highest place in Chang'an City, the people call this place Longshouyuan. Although Su Ren has a mission, he is not a naturalized official. He was not qualified to participate in the court meeting, so he could only wait in the Xuan Room. Su Ren came very early, and the front hall was still holding a court meeting, and Su Ren was brought in through the side door by the palace people.
After waiting for a long time, drinking three bowls of water, and eating two plates of palace pastries, Liu Che came in. Dressed in an ochre-colored robe, with a view of the sky on his head, and the wide robe and large sleeves are very majestic, anyone who sees it can't help but kneel down and salute. Liu Che entered the door and hurriedly ordered the palace people to undress themselves, although this robe was majestic, it was too thick and heavy, and now the weather was not really cool, and wearing it was to cover the prickly heat.
Also following Liu Che in was Han Yan, this guy was very unkind to Su Ren, glared at Su Ren fiercely, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Che change his clothes. Su Ren knelt for a long time, until Liu Che changed his clothes, and then he told Su Ren to get up.
Drinking cold light wine, Liu Che lay down comfortably on the low couch, Han Yan hurriedly took the fan in the hand of the palace maid and fanned Liu Che: "Didn't I let you prepare to build Taixue?" Why did it come back after only a day? Could it be that it was built too much? As Liu Che spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Han Yan, who cooperated with Liu Che with a flattering smile.
Su Ren held the bamboo slip in his hand with both hands: "Yesterday, Your Majesty just left, the minister suddenly thought of a problem, this matter is very important, the minister did not sleep all night, and he came to report." ”
Liu Che took the bamboo slip from the hand of the waiter and unfolded it to look at it. From the beginning, he frowned, and the more he looked back, the more strange the expression on his face became. Su Ren knelt opposite Liu Che, this posture was very uncomfortable, it had been a few years since he came to Dahan, and he had never been used to kneeling. Doing uncomfortable, Su Ren kept twisting his body, making the surrounding palace people and palace maids shake their heads frequently.
Liu Che calmed down and asked Su Ren: "Is this your idea or the idea of a few of you?" ”
"It is Weichen's idea, only when this matter is decided, the construction of Mongolian schools, middle schools, and universities can be carried out smoothly, and those who are willing to pay money hope that what they want most is a fairness, for the time being, people who can read and can afford to read are never willing to give this opportunity to others, reading is their privilege, and it is also the guarantee that they will always enjoy privileges in the future, and no one will let it out."
Liu Che nodded: "That's the truth, but you have to know, what are the consequences of this matter?" ”
"Wechen knows, that's why he put forward such a suggestion, find another way, and find another kind of fairness while ensuring the interests of the privileged class!"
Liu Che scratched his head: "Since Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, all the sons and hundreds of schools have withered, although I will not be the same as Qin Shi Huang, but I still think that it is better to govern the country with one idea, as for the problem you say, I will think about it, but you also know that the situation is different now, I advise you not to have too much hope." ”
"I want to remind you that the matter has been handed over to you, then you must see the results, as for what do you do? How is the process? I don't care, what I want is the result, build up Taixue, I reward you, if it is not completed, then don't blame me for being polite! It took so much effort to keep your little life, my sister and Wei Qihou both said that you have great talent, and I want to see it! ”
Without waiting for Su Ren to speak again, Liu Che waved his hand: "Okay, you go and do something!" I still have a lot to do. ”
Su Ren was very helpless, Liu Che was playing hooligan, he didn't agree to anything, and he had to let him work, and if he didn't give a penny, he had to see the effect. Who makes the family the emperor, who controls the power of life and death of the people in the world, although Su Ren is from the next generation, but now he is under the control of others, and if he wants to live, he has to earn his own life.
After leaving the palace, Huang Shisan hurriedly greeted him, and seeing that Su Ren's face was not good, he didn't dare to ask what happened. led the white horse over and helped Su Ren to get on the horse. Without being urged, the white horse opened his hooves and walked in the direction of home, along the way Su Ren was still thinking about what to do about this matter, if he let him pay for it himself, it is not impossible, but there must be a reason! Otherwise, even if he paid the money, he would not feel comfortable, and when he entered the door, Dongfang Shuo took the Taixue pattern that he had drawn too often to report to Su Ren. The land has also been chosen, and it is still in Chang'an City, not far from Changle Palace, close to the south gate of Chang'an City. The area is very large, but there are still people living in this place, all of whom are civilians in Chang'an. If you want to build Taixue, you have to demolish these people. If it was placed in the past, the government sent someone to directly blow people away, since this matter was handed over to Su Ren to deal with, Taichang would have been eager to throw this thankless thing to Su Ren.
The pattern is very exquisitely drawn, the palace, the pavilion are all complete, and even an artificial lake will be built in Taixue. Dongfang Shuo sighed: "I probably calculated, if you want to cultivate Taixue, you can't do it for millions of dollars." ”
Sima Xiangru was shocked: "Million dollars, how much does the court pay?" ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled: "Su Gongzi has already promised His Majesty that he doesn't need His Majesty to pay, and the court will not give him any this time!" ”
"Not a single one? All this million dollars are all out of our own pocket? ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded helplessly: "I'm afraid that's the case, even if you give it, it won't be a million dollars." ”
Su Ren straightened up suddenly: "Money is not a problem, I can still take out millions of dollars, but things are annoying, we pay for the dignitaries to enjoy, and I always feel uncomfortable." ”
"So what do we do now? Your Majesty can say, if Taixue can't be built, a few of us will be in bad luck! ”
Dong Zhongshu stood up: "The old man has also had some property over the years, if you need it, I can give it all!" ”
"The old man also dedicates!" The Wen Party followed suit.
Su Ren thanked him: "The kindness of the two gentlemen, the kid understands, this matter has not yet reached that point, let me think of a way, the matter can always be solved."
For three days in a row, Su Ren locked himself in the room, except for Huang Shisan, who delivered food and water, no one was seen, not even Dong Qian and Leng Yue could not enter. The whole Su Mansion was depressed by this atmosphere, and when the servants passed by the courtyard where Su Ren lived, they would slow down their steps, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Early in the morning of the third day, Su Ren's door suddenly opened, and Huang Shisan hurriedly flashed out. Su Ren shouted to Huang Shisan: "Go, let Liu Gao invite Mr. Dongfang, you go and call Mr. Sima, we will discuss the matter of preparing for the establishment of Taixue!" By the way, and Mr. Cui, don't forget! ”
The three of them came one after another and were invited into their bedrooms by Su Ren. Let Huang 13 guard the door, and the order given to Huang 13 is that even if the emperor comes, he can't come in. Such a big movement alarmed the entire Su family. No one knew what Su Ren was going to do, and they all stood in the courtyard waiting for news. For a whole morning, the room was quiet, Huang Shisan was holding a big axe, his eyes were obvious, he dared to be within ten steps of Su Ren's bedroom, he was ruthless.
Dongfang Shuo was the first to come out, with a melancholy face and hurried out. No one asked, but went out and hurried away in his own carriage. Everyone, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Su Ren has in mind, and what tasks Dongfang Shuo has given him.
Soon, Dongfang Shuo came back again, and this time the expression on his face was much better. Behind him were two servants, carrying a large box, which did not look heavy, and should not contain money. Dongfang Shuo entered Su Ren's bedroom, Huang Shisan stopped the two servants who were carrying the box, carried the box in by himself, and soon came out, still standing at the door.
Until the afternoon, Cui Chengru walked out of Su Ren's bedroom with a suspicious face. He was also in a hurry, only said hello to Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang and left. On this day, the Su family was filled with a strange atmosphere. This master is very intelligent, and everyone knows it. The emperor wanted to build Taixue without spending a penny, and everyone knew it. However, everyone didn't know what method Su Ren was going to use to raise money to build Taixue.
Late at night, the lights were still on in Su Ren's room, and Huang Shisan personally delivered the food in. Cui Chengru's face was full of exhaustion, and he still had wind and dust on his body, and entered the Su family and went straight to Su Ren's bedroom. It didn't take long for the people who stayed in the courtyard to hear it, and there was wild laughter in Su Ren's room. It was indeed a manial laugh, an ecstatic laugh.
That night, everyone in the Su family didn't sleep well, everyone was worried about Su Ren, listening to Su Ren's laughter, many people felt that their master must have been driven crazy by the emperor. Otherwise, how could he have paid millions of dollars and laughed. Everyone didn't sleep, Su Ren and Dongfang Shuo, Sima Xiangru, Cui Chengru and others didn't sleep either. The light in Su Ren's room was on all night, and several people were conspiring inside.
Guo Xie returned to Princess Guantao's mansion with the news and made a detailed report on the situation of the Su family. Princess Guantao smiled: "I thought that Che'er was going to reuse Su Ren, but I didn't expect it to be so reused?" In the end, it is my nephew and son-in-law, when I encounter big things, I still look at my aunt, but I cheapened Wei Zifu's slut, and changed from a dancer to a lady, I want to see how many days she can be a lady. ”
Uncle Yao loved to sit on a special low couch, brushing his beard, still maintaining the demeanor of a scribe, and muttered for a long time: "Your Highness, let's not be careless, Su Ren is a very methodical person, and he ......"
"Okay, you can take care of your injuries, you still have to find a way to deal with Jiao'er's affairs, Su Ren, that kid can be put aside for the time being!"
"Your Highness!"
Liu Yan glared at Uncle Yao, turned her head to Guo Xie and said, "How is the person you are looking for?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, it is ready and ready to use!"
"Good! Then let's start with that horse boy, didn't he rely on his sister is wife to go to Jianzhang Palace? Don't think you're safe in Jianzhang Palace! ”
Yao Shuai still wanted to speak, but Liu Concubine didn't give him a chance, waved his hand to end the discussion, and left Guo Xie alone. Out of the door of the lobby of Princess Tao's Mansion, Uncle Yao looked down at his strangely shaped legs, and sighed at the sky.
