"What does the Minister of State want Zhu to do?" Mi Zhuhu said suspiciously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The potter pointed with his hand and motioned for the Mi brothers and sisters to sit down first, as a courtesy to them.
The two sat down, and the pottery merchant said unhurriedly: "You also know that my current official position is only the Lang Evil State Minister, and this State Minister is still sealed by Liu Bei, with the official position of our country's Prime Minister, how can I seal you as the ruler?" So I want you to take my tribute to the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, and ask the court to decree that I will be the rightful pastor of Xuzhou. β
Mi Zhu's political consciousness is not low, and when he heard the potter say this, he immediately realized.
Not long ago, there was news from Xiapi that Lu Bu had taken Xuzhou Mu, and it was clear that he had the ambition to swallow the entire Xuzhou, and if the pottery merchant wanted to compete with him for Xuzhou, it was naturally not enough to rely on the name of a Lang evil country, so he must also publicly declare that he was the pastor of Xuzhou.
However, Lu Bu has a letter from Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is the Xuzhou pastor officially recognized by the imperial court, and Lu Bu, the self-led state pastor, still has some legitimacy.
On the contrary, if the potter learns from Lu Bu and also leads the state pastor, he will not have any legitimacy, and his appeal will obviously not be as good as Lu Bu.
So he decided to send Mi Zhu to Xuchang, to the imperial court, to Cao Cao for a justifiable Xuzhou pastor, so that he could completely overwhelm Lu Bu politically.
Everyone knows that the Son of Heaven in Xuchang is just a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao, but the will of the Son of Heaven still represents the righteousness.
Although this banner of righteousness has a limited bonus to the potter's strength, in the case that he is equal to Lu Bu's strength, he will not let go of even the slightest opportunity to change the strength comparison.
As for why Mi Zhu was sent, the reason is also very simple, to envoy the imperial court, at least you have to send a famous person, these generals under the command of the pottery merchant are mostly summoned heroic souls, their ability is better than Mi Zhu, but in this world, the reputation is far less than Mi Zhu.
"What, Zizhong, don't you want to take this errand?" The potter saw that Mi Zhu was a little hesitant.
Mi Zhu hurriedly shook his head, "Of course Zhu is willing, but Zhu has limited influence in the court, and he is not sure that he will be able to seek the position of state pastor for the lord, and I am afraid that he will lose the trust of the lord." β
Mi Zhu has changed his mouth in the title, calling the pottery merchant the main father, but the confidence is insufficient.
"It's man-made, after you arrive in Xuchang, you don't need to rush to see Cao Cao first, but you can go around preaching how powerful Lu Bu is, how weak my strength is, sooner or later I will be swallowed up by Lu Bu, I expect that Cao Cao will approve my invitation." A playful smile crossed the potter's eagle eyes.
Mi Zhu listened to the potter's advice, and was stunned at first, and then showed a trance.
Not long ago, Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, fought with Cao Cao so hard that he almost forced Cao Cao to death, forcing him to spend a lot of effort to drive Lu Bu to Xuzhou.
In the eyes of the potters, Cao Cao must have regarded LΓΌ Bu as a potential threat, and if he learned of this threat, he would be able to seize the whole of Xuzhou, posing a great threat to his ruling area from the east, and Cao Cao would not sit idly by with his calculations.
The pottery merchant's plan was to take advantage of Cao Cao's jealousy of LΓΌ Bu and force him to give him the position of Xuzhou Mu, and use his strength to contain LΓΌ Bu.
"The lord is wise, Zhu knows what to do." Mi Zhu complimented the potter and gladly accepted the errand.
To be able to be entrusted with the important task of the imperial court by the potter, which fully shows the importance of the potter to him, if he can make this contribution to the potter, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the potter's camp, such an excellent opportunity, Mi Zhu will naturally not let go.
He was about to retire, but he caught a glimpse of his sister Mi Zhen, who was silent on the side, so he coughed a few times and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, Zhu doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." β
The potter nodded, motioning for him to have something to say.
"That's the case, the first Tao Gong set this marriage for the sister-in-law and the lord-in-law, I don't know when the lord plans to marry the sister-in-law?" Mi Zhu asked with a smile, as for the previous divorce, it was as if it had never happened.
As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhen's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at her brother complainingly, blaming him for not mentioning his marriage in this public occasion.
The potter was also stunned, and immediately understood why he wanted to bring his sister here, it turned out that this was to make a beauty plan, and wanted to re-mention the marriage, and use the marriage to ensure the interests of his family.
He couldn't help but sigh at Mi Zhu's businessman nature, for the sake of the family's interests, he could not care about face at all, and he was embarrassed to mention the marriage again, don't forget that it was their brothers and sisters who forced him to withdraw from the marriage.
The potter didn't answer Mi Zhu, but looked at Mi Zhen with a shy face, and said lightly: "My potter has always been true to his word, and since there is a marriage contract, I will naturally abide by it, but I see that Miss Mi seems to be reluctant, and my potter is not strong, as long as you speak, I will dissolve this marriage contract with a stroke of my pen." β
The previous potter repeatedly refused to withdraw from the marriage, that is, he wanted to fight for a breath and deliberately disgusted the Mi family and Liu Bei.
Now the situation is different, and the Mi family begged him to marry, if the potter was still happy, and he couldn't agree to it, where would the man's arrogance be.
His words are to show that my potter is not a bad woman, and your eldest lady of the Mi family is not a rare national treasure, so I must marry.
When Mi Zhu heard this, his face turned white and he looked at his sister embarrassedly.
Mi Zhen has already condensed her eyebrows, and her dignified and beautiful face can't help but blush, and she is a little annoyed.
It is shameful for a big girl to take the initiative to send her to the door to ask for marriage, but now the attitude of the potter is not only not happy, but lukewarm, which makes Mi Zhen feel humiliated.
Although she was annoyed, Mi Zhen knew that she deserved it, who let her come to the door at the beginning, so aggressively asked to withdraw from the marriage, and now the attitude of the potter is also normal, just report and report.
Taking a deep breath, Mi Zhen slowly stood up, her clear eyes looked at the pottery merchant, and she said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The folk girl has confessed to her son before, and the folk girl has only two conditions for choosing her husband, one is to be beneficial to my Mi family, and the other is that person must be a hero in the world." β
Mi Zhen actually said it so frankly, and she didn't tactfully say it, Mi Zhu was shocked when she heard it, for fear of annoying the potter, and cold sweat rolled on her forehead.
Mi Zhen was not afraid, and continued: "The folk girl also admits that I looked away and mislooked at Liu Bei before. And Childe also used what he did to prove that Childe is the person that the people's daughter should choose. Since the son asked the attitude of the people's daughter, the people's girl said frankly, I sincerely want to marry the child, if the son resents what I did at the beginning and is unwilling to marry me, I will never complain, everything is up to the child's decision. β
After a clear and crisp, neither humble nor arrogant words, there was silence in the lobby.
Gan Mei and all the other people who served on the side looked at Mi Zhen in surprise, they didn't expect her to say such a thing.
The potter was also surprised.
He didn't expect Mi Zhen to be so calm and unhurried, in front of so many people, she could talk about her marriage so calmly, without embarrassment and shyness.
What surprised him even more was Mi Zhen's confession, instead of apologizing to himself humbly and ashamedly, and begging for his forgiveness, Baba frankly admitted the mistake he had chosen at the beginning, and admitted the true purpose of her decision to marry him now.
Mi Zhen's calmness and frankness, as well as her frankness, made the potter feel a little less grudge against the woman in front of him, and added a little appreciation.
"Sure enough, she is worthy of being the merchant's sister, and she can't do without a sharp word in three sentences......" A sneer rose at the corner of the potter's mouth.
Mi Zhu heard the irony in his words, and said that the potter was annoyed by his sister's straightforwardness, and he looked panicked, and he was busy trying to explain and plead for his sister.
Before he could speak, the potter raised his hand and signaled that he didn't have to say anything.
Then, he looked at the frank and calm, dignified and beautiful face, and smiled slightly, "However, you are good enough to be frank enough, and it is better to talk frankly about the word of profit than a hypocrite who is full of benevolence and morality, but is mercenary in private, I like it very much." β
As soon as the words "I like it very much" came out, Mi Zhen's flawless face was suddenly dyed with a layer of red, and her eyes that were as clear as ice flashed with surprise.
She couldn't stand her brother's persecution, and she couldn't bear the humiliation of putting a cold ass on the potter's hot face, so she couldn't bear it, so she simply said all the words she held in her heart, and after the catharsis, she regretted it a little.
She didn't expect that the potter was so generous, not only was she not angry, but she also said "I like it very much".
Like what? Like my candbread? Or someone who likes me?
Mi Zhen couldn't figure it out, so she simply gritted her teeth and asked loudly: "Since you said you like it, will you marry me or not?" β
