Chapter 718: Conditions
"It's a good fit, it's a good fit!" Wang Shou kept intercepting the words, "Xiaoxian, I have taken to heart what you said last time that you wanted Liang Dequan and them to fight." To be honest with you, I have persuaded my brother-in-law a lot to let him go and fight with Liang Dequan, but no matter how I persuade him, he can't listen to it, and he still acts as his shrinking turtle. I want to use the excuse of my birthday to let you sit together, and you can help me persuade him! β
"You can't persuade me, how can he listen to me?" Lu Xiaoxian hesitated.
"Xiaoxian, I believe in you, you will definitely have a way!" Wang Shouyi cut the railway.
"Then I'll try!" Lu Xiaoxian looked at Wang Shouyi, "When is the dinner scheduled?" β
"E-time!"
"Brother Shouyi, you go back first! I will visit the house on time! Lu Xiaoxian finally agreed.
Wang Shouyi's face was happy: "Xiaoxian, let's talk about it, see you or leave!" β
β¦β¦
In the courtyard of the Linzi County Palace, Li Longji and the county princess personally sent Lu Xiaoxian out.
Wang Shouyi was right, Li Longji's county palace was far worse than Lu Xiaoxian's mansion.
"The king of the county and the princess, the two of them stayed and said goodbye!" Lu Xiaoxian said goodbye to Li Longji and Wang Hui.
When he was in Luoyang, Lu Xiaoxian and Li Longji met, although they didn't feel the relationship with Li Chongjun and Wu Yanxiu, but they were acquaintances. When they came to visit today, the two of them seemed to have made an appointment, and neither of them mentioned the past.
Li Longji was very polite to Lu Xiaoxian: "Thank you Lu Gongzi for coming, since we are neighbors, we will move around more in the future!" β
Wang Hui hurriedly said to Wang Shou: "Big brother, you can send Lu Gongzi for us!" β
"Great!" Wang Shouyi and Lu Xiaoxian walked out of the palace shoulder to shoulder.
Seeing the backs of Lu Xiaoxian and Wang Shouyi disappearing outside the door, Wang Hui turned his head and glanced at Li Longji: "San Lang, do you think what he said is true or false?" β
Li Longji shook his head: "I don't know!" β
"Then why did you agree to work with him?" Wang Hui was puzzled.
"When did I say yes to him?" Li Longji looked cunning.
"I obviously heard it, why don't you admit it?"
"That's conditional!" Li Longji said disapprovingly.
"What if he did?" Wang Hui asked rhetorically.
"Do you think he can do it?" Li Longji didn't think about it, "He can't do it!" β
Wang Hui was silent.
Just now, at the wine table, Lu Xiaoxian proposed to cooperate with Li Longji to deal with Liang Dequan together.
Li Longji put forward a condition: if Lu Xiaoxian could persuade Yao Chong to assist him, he would go all out to cooperate with Lu Xiaoxian.
The reason why Li Longji put forward the conditions was based on two considerations.
When he was in Luoyang, Li Longji contacted Lu Xiaoxian, just to play crazy, he didn't think that Lu Xiaoxian had the ability to deal with Liang Dequan, and the conditions were just for him to retreat.
On the other hand, Li Longji admires Yao Chong very much, if Lu Xiaoxian can persuade Yao Chong, it will be beneficial to him and no harm.
In fact, Li Longji had this idea when he first arrived in Luzhou, and wanted to ask Yao Chong to help him. At that time, Yao Chong rejected Li Longji on the grounds that he was old. Li Longji did not give up, and followed Liu Bei's example of the thatched house, but Yao Chong was not moved at all.
Li Longji looked back and forth dozens of times, and said dozens of good things, but Yao Chong was not moved in the slightest, and later refused to even see Li Longji's face.
Without Yao Chong's help, Li Longji still fought with Liang Dequan without hesitation, and finally ended in Li Longji's fiasco.
Of course, Wang Hui knew that asking Yao Chong to help Li Longji was basically an impossible condition. However, no matter how Wang Hui looks, Lu Xiaoxian seems to be confident.
In front of Li Longji and Wang Hui, Lu Xiaoxian patted his chest as a guarantee. Li Longji thinks that this matter is difficult, but it is not a matter for Lu Xiaoxian, his relationship with Yao Chong is not ordinary, with Di Renjie's last words at work, Lu Xiaoxian is not worried about persuading Yao Chong at all.
Leaving Li Longji's palace, Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly went to Wei Xianyun to discuss countermeasures.
β¦β¦
Yao Chong was closing his eyes in the study when he heard someone walking in softly. He opened his eyes slightly, saw that it was Yao Hong who came in, sighed, and closed his eyes again.
Yao Hong has been very intelligent since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was very knowledgeable, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Yao Chong was demoted to the history of Luzhou Thorn, and his family was also settled in Luzhou, and Yao Hong came to Luzhou with Yao Chong. Liang Dequan went to the door of Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and justifiably made the history of Luzhou Assassination, Yao Chong did not have any fault, and was once again demoted to the history of Luzhou Governor.
This incident hit Yao Hong, and since then he has not wanted to forge ahead, and every day he and a group of gentlemen enjoy the wind and the moon, drink and gamble, and become a habitual guest in the Fengyue field. Liang Dequan made a history of thorns, looted a large number of people's fat and people's ointment, and did everything possible to tie up Queen Wei and Princess Anle. Yao Chong was furious, and he played to expose Liang Dequan's evil deeds! As a result, Liang Dequan still did his assassination history, but Yao Chong was demoted to Sicang to join the army for the third time.
was demoted from the prime minister of the third grade to the eighth rank of the Sicang to join the army, and if he was replaced by someone else, he had already resigned in frustration and returned to his hometown to retire. Yao Chong is a stubborn person, obviously wronged, but he doesn't go anywhere, just being his eight-rank petty official.
In Yao Chong's view, there is justice in the world, and he wants to see the final fate of those clowns who jump off the beam.
It was at this time that Yao Chong discovered Yao Hong's bad habits and was furious and punished him heavily, but Yao Hong repeatedly taught him. In desperation, Yao Chong wanted Yao Hong to marry as soon as possible, hoping that this move would make him restrain himself.
Under Yao Chong's Zhang Luo, Yao Hong became a relative.
Yao Hong's wife is beautiful and virtuous, and after getting married, she respects her in-laws and serves her husband, and there is no rudeness.
At the beginning of the wedding, Yao Hong and his wife were like paint, and they no longer went out to fool around, Yao Chong was very happy in his heart. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and as soon as the novelty of the newlywed passed, Yao Hong couldn't help but start to miss the days of spending a lot of time and drinking in the past. Under the repeated invitation of his friends, Yao Hong began to haunt the fireworks and willow alleys again.
Hearing that Yao Hong had embarked on the old road again, Yao Chong was furious and carried out family law against him several times, but Yao Hong healed the scars and forgot the pain every time, and still went his own way, which made Yao Chong completely lose confidence in him.
"Ong, someone wants to see you!" Yao Hong whispered.
"Who wants to see me?" Yao Chong opened his eyes and looked at Yao Hong strangely.
"His name is Lu Xiaoxian, and he is my friend!"
Lu Xiaoxian?
Yao Chong's mind flashed with that face with a sly smile, could it really be him?
"Your friend?" Yao Chong shook his head quietly and said, "The friends you made, which one is not a fox friend and a dog friend, I don't see it!" β
Yao Hong became anxious when he heard this: "Ah Weng, Xiaoxian is different from others, he is not a fox friend and dog friend, you will know it when you see it." β
"Nope!" Yao Chong no longer bothered with Yao Hong.
Yao Hong pounced and knelt down in front of Yao Chong: "If Ah Weng doesn't see him, his grandson won't get up!" β
Yao Chong couldn't help but snort: "If you want to kneel, you can kneel!" β
With that, Yao Chong closed his eyes again.
The two of them confronted each other like this.
Half an hour.
An hour.
Yao Chong began to muttered in his heart: Why is this kid so stubborn today?
Finally, Yao Chong opened his eyes.
Yao Hong was still the same as before, kneeling there with his neck straight.
Yao Chong was very curious, who would let his grandson be so attentive and be able to kneel here for so long.
Yao Chong sighed and said, "Tell me, what is the difference between your friend and those fox friends and dog friends?" β
Yao Hong did not hide it, and came together with Lu Xiaoxian.
Yao Chong listened to this, and nodded secretly in his heart: it must be him, no one can do these things except him.
After being silent for a long time, Yao Chong said to Yao Hong: "You make an appointment, I will meet him!" β
β¦β¦
Lu Xiaoxian looked at Yao Chong with his signature smile. Yao Chong didn't speak, and looked at Lu Xiaoxian with the same gaze.
Finally, Yao Chong spoke first: "Master Lu, let's meet again!" β
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "We met again, but I didn't expect to meet on this occasion!" β
"Can you say that Hong'er came to see me, tell me directly, what's the matter?" Yao Chong is not polite,
Lu Xiaoxian was even more unpolite: "It's very simple, please ask Yao Ge Lao to go out of the mountain and assist the king of Linzi County?" β
Lu Xiaoxian's words surprised Yao Chong, and he asked, "So, you took refuge in the king of Linzi County?" β
"No, I'm the same as Yao Ge Lao, no one takes refuge, I'm just myself!"
"Then why are you asking me to help him?" Yao Chong remained silent.
"I'm just a businessman now, helping him is helping myself!"
"You mean Bai Zongyuan?" Yao Chong in one sentence.
"That's right, with Bai Zongyuan here, others can't do business! Behind Bai Zongyuan is Liang Dequan, and the only one who is likely to compete with Liang Dequan in Luzhou is the king of Linzi County. β
Yao Chong shook his head and said: "He can't fight Liang Dequan, the lessons of the past are vivid!" β
"That's because no one helped him, and of course he was not Liang Dequan's opponent when he fought alone, so I asked Yao Ge to go out of the mountain!"
"Why should I help him?" Yao Chong still shook his head.
"Because helping him is helping Yao Ge himself, I know you will agree!"
"Why?" Yao Chong frowned.
"Because I know you too well!"
"You go into details!"
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "Power will give birth to factions, fighting each other endlessly. It's hard to work with political opponents, and if you fight, it's hard to know if you live or die; If you compromise, you become an accomplice. Yao Ge Lao does not shoot easily, does not fight alone, and resists to a limited extent, in order to weaken the opponent and protect himself. In your case, the flexibility becomes a weapon, full of resilience. You are also like a master of martial arts, you have nothing in your hands, but others can't help you. β
Yao Chong looked at Lu Xiaoxian in surprise, he really knew himself very well.
Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly, and continued: "Back then, the coup d'Γ©tat of the Five Kings, Yao Ge Lao retreated. Zhongzong became the emperor, and the heroes were elated, and they were all promoted to knighthood. Mr. Yao burst into tears for the abdication of Emperor Zetian, and as a result, he was demoted to the history of assassination. In fact, Yao Ge Lao knew in his heart that with the situation at that time, these people would definitely not end well. You see danger in advance and seek self-preservation with tears. In fact, this is exactly the case, none of the five kings did end well, but the old man Yao Ge was spared. β
