Liu De and Chun Yuyi chatted for almost two hours.

After handing over Chun Yuyi's master and apprentice to Shi Sui for care and arrangement, Liu De was about to wash his feet and sleep, when Wang Dao walked in, knelt down and bowed: "Your Highness Qucheng Hou Gu Jie asks to see ......"

Forehead......

Liu De touched his head, and it took a long time to react, this person still has something to do with him.

For example, now in Chang'an, Gu Zhenrou, who assists in the drama Meng's affairs, is Gu Jie's nephew.

It's just that......

What did he come to see me for? Liu De was suspicious in his heart.

Nine out of ten people who come to see people secretly at night when the lights are dark and blind, and what they ask for is unseemly.

Liu De thought about it, and felt that he didn't seem to have anything to use Gu Jie, so he said: "Just say that I slept, please Qucheng and come back tomorrow......"

"No......" Wang Dao nodded and took the order.

Not long after, Wang Dao turned back and reported: "Your Highness, Qu Chenghou said that he must see you now, and he is holding the greeting post of Sigong......"

"Yuan An?" Liu De's eyes rolled for a moment, asked the maid to dry his feet, put on clogs, and said, "Then let him in......"

Yuan An, this guy, just likes to plant favors everywhere......

It's just that guys like Gu Jie have all kinds of favors, and Liu De feels that Yuan Ang is a little crazy.

Networking is a thing that is important to say, but not important, and it's worthless.

For example, Yuan Ang was kicked out of the court by Chao Cuo a few years ago, and the courtiers he usually married planted favors. How many helped him speak?

If it weren't for Yuan An's big backer, Empress Dowager Dou, Liu De felt that in addition to Shen Tujia. is willing to pay attention to Yuan An, and there are probably few who will put him in their eyes.

Therefore, Liu De has never been too lazy to have too much to do with the courtiers, and he has not been too lazy to have too much contact with the Chehou Xungui family.

Dragons have dragon paths, snakes have snake paths.

Instead of spending a lot of time and effort to establish relationships with those guys who are almost grass on the wall, it is better to pat the emperor's father and the Empress Dowager Dou's sycophants. Manage the relationship with Liu Prostitution.

Just like now, if it wasn't for Gu Jie's greetings from Yuan An, Liu De didn't bother to see him as an ant-like character at all.

It didn't take long. Wang Dao led a middle-aged man who looked pretty good-looking and walked in.

When the man saw Liu De, who was wearing a crown robe and a crown on his head, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Chenqu City Hou Gu Jie greets His Highness!" Ask Your Highness how well! ”

"Ann!" Liu De sat down and instructed the left and right: "Prepare for the prince to sit!" ”

Wait until Gu Jie sits down. Liu De asked, "The prince came to visit late at night. But what's the matter? ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Gu Jie came out with a smile on his face and bowed: "Please step back and leave the left, the minister has a happy event to report......

"Happy event?" Liu De smiled and said, "There is nothing to say to people, if the prince has a happy event, just say it......"

Regarding Gu Jie's deeds, Liu De's heart is like a mirror, this is a wonder!

Just the process of his Qucheng Marquis title being abolished and established is enough to be recorded in the annals of history and ridiculed by future generations.

Not to mention that this person's two abolitions were both illegal and annulment. The walk relationship was restored.

Liu De remembered that he had heard Zhang De say it before. Gu Jie's latest revenge was because he bribed Liu Yan and Zhou Ren, at least they were heavy bribes of a thousand gold......

Therefore, for this person's so-called happy event, Liu De scoffed.

Gu Jie smiled awkwardly.

But he was thick-skinned and didn't care at all about the obvious impatience and disdain in Liu De's words.

He smiled and bowed softly: "Your Highness, at the invitation of the King of Huainan, meet Your Highness, please ask Your Highness to turn around for the king, as long as Your Highness agrees, the King of Huainan is willing to immediately offer 1,500 gold and 30 million gold as thanks, if His Royal Highness can protect the throne of the King of Huainan, the King of Huainan will later wish to give 500 gold, 20 million money, and 10 beautiful women......"

Liu De laughed when he heard this.

It's been so long since he was reborn, and for the first time, he finally met someone who came to bribe him.

Is this an endorsement of his status or is it ironic?

Liu De had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Bribery in the Han court was a common practice, and Liu De had long known that in his previous life, he had done things to bribe court nobles and fortunate ministers.

It's just that, looking back now, Liu De is indescribably disgusting in his heart.

It's really the ass that decides the head.

Today's Liu De is the quasi-prince, the future prince, and the son of heaven, and this country and society are all owned by him.

How can one's own property be privately taught by outsiders?

Especially, when Liu De thought that even the dignified general Wei Qing would have to bribe the palace concubine to protect himself,

Even generals like Wei Qing, heroes, and generals who have made immortal achievements, can only use bribes to protect themselves, who in the world does not bribe?

The county order bribed Taishou, Taishou bribed Jiuqing, and Jiuqing bribed eunuchs and clan relatives.

Moreover, these bribery behaviors are almost all blatant and even unspoken rules.

Just like now Gu Jie dared to impress Liu De with heavy bribes openly, after Wei Qing bribed Mrs. Li later, Liu Che actually praised Wei Qing for his stupid lack and praised it greatly......

"If it were me, I would scold him half to death!" Thinking so in Liu De's heart, he stood up, looked at Gu Jie expressionlessly and asked, "Does the prince think that I lack the 1,500 gold and 30 million gold?" Am I so poor? Or is it that in the heart of the prince, I Liu De is worth so much? ”

"Sending off!" Liu De waved his hand and said mercilessly: "Prince, I will report this matter to my father and emperor......"

After speaking, Liu De completely ignored Gu Jie's begging for mercy and words, and walked directly into the inner hall.

Wang Dao hurriedly followed, and as soon as he entered the inner hall, Wang Dao knelt down and cried: "Your Highness atonements...... The slave and maid were guilty and accepted a bribe of 100 gold from Qucheng Hou......"

Liu De glanced at him and counted him smart!

This kind of thing, Liu De naturally knows, if it weren't for the benefits of Gu Jie, how could Wang Dao report it again and again?

Please, eunuchs, especially eunuchs like Wang Dao, are very busy.

After the master's refusal for the first time, he still thinks that he will pass through the second time, there is not enough benefit, and the fool will risk offending the lord and losing his favor for an irrelevant person to pass through the king again?

"Wang Dao, ah......" Liu De looked at his most trusted and trusted personal eunuch, and said: "You can take the initiative to explain, this is very good, you take out the bribes you received, and take another hundred gold out yourself, all of them will buy cloth, make clothes, and distribute them to children under the age of ten in Dayang County, in addition, I will punish you again, go and clean the camp for three days!" ”

"Can you take it?" Liu De looked at Wang Dao and asked.

"The slave is willing to obey ......" Wang Dao was really frightened, because he had never seen Liu De's eyes just looking at him, so terrifying, ruthless and ruthless, he knew very well who gave him power.

"Don't take bribes in the future...... Liu De patted him on the shoulder and said: "Tell me whatever you want, I can give it to you, but if I find out that you accept bribes again, then you know what the consequences are!" ”

"No, the slave knows it......" Wang Dao kowtowed again and again.

Liu De sighed in his heart.

He finally understood why Liu Anneng was uninjured in his previous life.

Simple, under such a powerful Jin Yuan offensive, there are too few people who can not be moved.

Especially Liu De's aunt......

But Liu De can't do anything about this situation, he can only keep his innocence now, but it is impossible to restrain Liu Yan, Zhou Ren, and even Yuan An, Chao Cuo and others.

"When I ascend the throne, eradicating this blatant style of bribery will be the top priority!" Liu De thought to himself. (To be continued......)
