Chapter 35: The Meeting
In this case, it is better to obey than to obey. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Ziang said.
"Hahahaha, okay, I'll send someone to invite me tomorrow, you don't have to break your word. The eldest prince smiled.
"How dare you, how dare you. ”
Li Ziang said goodbye to the ministers, got on the horse, and returned to the general's mansion.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Zhuge Changqing leaning at the door of the house, and when I saw her back, I greeted her.
"Congratulations to General Lee. Zhuge Changqing said with a grin.
"Don't make fun of me, what are you doing these days?" asked Li Ziang as he got off his horse.
"What's the matter? I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me very much?"
Li Ziang glanced at him with disgust and said, "Love to say it or not." ”
"I said, I said, didn't I help you find out? ”
"I remember I didn't ask you to look into anything. ”
"Okay, can't I volunteer to help you check. Zhuge Changqing said a little aggrieved.
"I'll ask Shen Tulang to come to my room with you two in a while. ”
"What are you calling him that idiot for!" Zhuge Changqing jumped a little.
Li Ziang glared at him and ignored him, Shen Tulang just didn't like people's sophistication, why did he become a nerd?
After a while, Shen Tulang and Zhuge Changqing came with big eyes, and the formation was like they were about to make a move at any time, and they didn't know where these two people got such a big anger and such a big hatred.
"Zhuge Changqing, don't make trouble!" Li Ziang said with a cold face.
Zhuge Changqing rolled his eyes at Shen Tulang, walked to Xiao Qi and sat down. Shen Tulang ignored him and sat down at the table.
Li Ziang said to Zhuge Changqing: "What have you found in the past few days?"
Zhuge Changqing glanced at Shen Tulang proudly and said, "Didn't I tell you last time that Concubine Hui's fifth prince was brought back by her from outside, and I found out the whereabouts of the child's biological father." ”
"Since they can do this kind of thing, the aftermath must be very closely handled, are you sure that you are checking the truth?" said Shen Tulang lightly.
Li Ziang raised his eyebrows, this Shen Tulang is not so ignorant of the world.
After Concubine Hui took the child back, she sent someone to kill the husband and wife, but it rained heavily that day, and the woman was killed, and the man fled all the way, and actually escaped to the edge of the cliff and fell to his death. But those people thought he was dead, but he didn't, he fell and hung on a tree, just in time to be saved by the people who went up the mountain to collect medicine, and then he lived incognito, he lived in remorse and hatred until I found him. ”
"How did you find him?" asked Shen Tulang, puzzled.
"Naturally, I have my own method, if I want to find out who he is, I can even find out his ancestors for eighteen generations. ”
Li Ziang nodded and asked, "Where is he now?"
"He's still in the village. ”
"Well, let Lei and his people quietly protect him. Don't startle the snake. This one is not enough, we need to grasp his handle. ”
Li Ziang pondered for a moment and then said: "Zhuge , you go and check Ge Fu again to see if his hands and feet are clean, and if there is any connection with Sima Rui." If this matter is clarified, this is an excellent way to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”
"I'll go see Xiahou Xiu tomorrow, Shen Tulang and I will go together, Zhuge you must check the action lightly, those two are old foxes, if they find a little trouble, they will definitely stop." ”
Shen Tulang nodded.
Zhuge Changqing said: "Okay." But you have to guard against him when you go to see Xiahou Xiu, he is not so simple. ”
"Well, I'll be careful, and you have to be careful. ”
"Are you worried about my safety? ”
Li Ziang rolled his eyes, but also smiled lightly: "I'm really convinced of you, I can't finish talking in three sentences." ”
After the two of them left, Li Ziang leaned on the chair and pondered: "Xiahou Xiu seems to be looking for me to win me over, but Emperor Wei didn't give me military power, and I am a new general, and I don't have any power in my hands, so he made this calculation a little too early." ”
Next
Xiahou Xiu really sent someone early to invite Li Ziang to go to the "Xianzhulou" on the shore of the Xijiao Lake, Xianzhulou is a famous restaurant in the western suburbs of the imperial city, backed by the Xijiao Lake, the decoration temperament is elegant, noble and unconventional, although it is warm and cold now, but the business is also very prosperous.
Li Ziang and Shen Tulang came to Xianzhulou, Li Ziang felt that this place was quite similar to the Lotus Tea Society in Wucheng, but it was much bigger than the Lotus Tea Society.
Li Ziang and Shen Tulang entered the door, and a small servant greeted them: "My lord, please, my son-in-law has been waiting for a long time." ”
Li Ziang nodded, and when he came into this building, he found that all of them were private rooms, but it was a good place with great privacy.
When they arrived at the door, the little maid knocked on the door, and a little maid opened the door inside, and Xiahou Xiu saw that the two of them were coming, so he got up.
"The Great Prince. Li Ziang and Shen Tulang said in unison.
"Eh, today we don't care about kings and ministers, we only treat tea as friends. Brother Li, Brother Shentu, please. ”
"Okay, Brother Xiahou, please. ”
After a few polite times, Shen Tulang felt that his head was about to get bigger, and he looked at Li Ziang sadly, but Li Ziang replied with an apologetic smile. He really didn't like the atmosphere of flattery.
Li Ziang really couldn't stay anymore, she didn't expect Xiahou Xiu to be so pretending, and her patience was really worn out.
When Xiahou Xiu talked about another cup of tea, Li Ziang finally couldn't help it.
"The eldest prince, let's open the skylight and say something. I'm sure you asked the two of you to come here more than just listen to the interesting things you have to say. Li Ziang said lightly, she felt that if she let him talk about it again, he would be able to talk until dark.
"Hehe, can't you finally take it anymore?" Xiahou Xiu leaned on the chair and smiled lightly.
"Ming people don't talk in secret, and I believe you are not the kind of person who likes to waste time. Li Ziang said lightly.
"Aren't you afraid of offending me like this?" Xiahou Xiu looked at Li Ziang.
"Could it be that the eldest prince really has this Yaxing to talk to me?" Li Ziang asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, interesting, then let's get straight to the point. Although you have been made a general this time, you have no military power in your hands, do you know whose idea was made in front of your father?"
"Sima Rui?" Li Ziang asked rhetorically.
"It's really smart, my father is suspicious, and the reason why Sima Rui did this is because he is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past. ”
"You mean the former general Li Jin?" said Shen Tulang.
"This king likes to talk to smart people, that's right, Sima Rui is afraid that Brother Li is still young and has a bright future, but he is afraid that he will be pressed in the future, just like when he was pressed by Li Jin everywhere, you all know that his father likes martial arts and literature is secondary, so he will use all kinds of means for his own status, and he will not let you overpower him no matter what, so in the end, you are just a nominal general with no name. ”
"So, what does the eldest prince mean ?..." Li Ziang stared at Xiahou Xiu, not letting go of the slightest expression on his face.
"What does this king mean... You and I are in an alliance!"
