"Since you want to play false, then I will naturally accompany you, and I haven't lost more than the patient master."

The other party refused to directly express his intentions, and Tang Jin, as the invitee, was naturally in no hurry, as if he was really coming to the banquet, while eating, he chatted with the other party without a match.

"When I entered the door, I was fortunate to see my cousin waving, and the younger brother stole a glance, and the word iron painted silver hook was very beautiful. I wonder if I can ask my cousin for two for my younger brother to enjoy? Tang Jin said abruptly

"Cousin, don't laugh at my brother. I've only practiced this character for four years, and I haven't even achieved the success of those calligraphers, so where do I dare to be enjoyed? You're deliberately ridiculing your brother, right? Tang Yun shook his head, obviously not believing it, but the smile on the corner of his mouth betrayed his mind.

Tang Jin struck while the iron was hot, "What my cousin said, I want me to see that your words are as good as everyone else, are you too humble?" ”

"You kid, you talk nonsense......"

In the face of Tang Jin's praise, although Tang Yun was complacent on the surface, he did not have the slightest wave in his heart, and he was not as fluttery as Tang Jin imagined, so that he showed flaws.

just touted the other party for no reason, in order to make the other party flutter and take the opportunity to trick the other party's words. This method is most effective for those self-righteous scholars, and it can be said that it has been tried and tested, but today it has hit a wall here in Tang Yun.

Sure enough, he looks like a scholar who is obsessed with literature, but in fact he is a thoughtful guy. There is no simple one for the royal children. Thinking about it like this, it is estimated that most of the eldest prince who lacks heart and eyes is pretending, in order to test my temperament, if I choose to swallow my anger considering the identity and location of the other party at that time, I will be crazy targeted by the other party. ”

While talking to Tang Yunxu and the snake, Tang Jin analyzed the character of the other party, and at the same time roughly understood the deep meaning of what the eldest prince did that day. In fact, what Tang Yun did today and what the eldest prince did that day were the same thing, except that the former was testing his temperament, and the latter was testing his city and scheming, but the latter didn't seem to be so simple.

"Cousin, brother Wei heard that you have a good personal relationship with that Shen Guogong? I wonder if you can introduce me to my brother? The two were chatting with each other, and Tang Yun asked a key question as if casually.

"I'm waiting here!" Tang Jin immediately understood the purpose of the other party's invitation to him today, but he didn't expose it, but waved his hand and said: "Hey, where is there any personal relationship, it's just that the younger brother has been friends with Lord Shen for a long time, and I was fortunate to come to the capital to pay a special visit, and I chatted with Shen Guogong about Lord Shen's great achievements, and I can't talk about friendship." ”

"You see, you're not honest, are you? I don't tell the truth to my brother. Tang Yun shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied.

Tang Jin frowned, "What do you mean by what cousin is saying?" What the little brother said is true? ”

Tang Yun was stunned for a moment, then patted his head, and said regretfully: "Oh, look at my brain, forget."

You can't go to court. ”

His appearance immediately aroused Tang Jin's curiosity, "What happened?" Please also let my cousin know. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I guess you'll find out by the afternoon. It's not an important thing, but Shen Guogong returned to the court today, although he did not participate in the proceedings, but this is the first time that the descendants of the Shen family have been to the court for more than ten years, and the last time was the enthronement ceremony of his father. ”

As soon as the other party said this, Tang Jin immediately understood what the other party meant. According to Tang Jin's knowledge, since the death of Shen Daxian Daxian, the Dingguo Gong lineage has almost never been to the court except for the emperor's death and the first emperor's enthronement or the major occasions such as the sacrifice to the heavens. Now that he has suddenly returned to the court, it is equivalent to completely confirming the rumors of an alliance.

"Huh? What does this have to do with me? Although he had a rough idea in his heart, Tang Jin didn't plan to have a showdown now, and before that, he still had to see what Tang Yun wanted to do.

Tang Jin's question completely stunned Tang Yunwen. At first, Tang Jin went straight to the topic and was stopped by himself, but now that he said the topic, he began to pretend to be stupid again, what is this? A dog has his day?

"Heh, my cousin is not honest when he says this, is it possible that you have never heard of the boiling rumors in the capital recently?"

"What rumors?" Tang Jin then pretended to be stupid.

"It's a rumor that you're going to form an alliance with the Dingguo Mansion." There was no way, Tang Jin kept pretending to be stupid, forcing Tang Yun to find out his intentions, and for the first time in so many years, he was forced to say his purpose without concealment.

"Oh, that's what my cousin said. I know, what's wrong? Tang Jin looked like he suddenly realized, and then continued to pretend to be stupid. Sample, I can't kill you!

"I ......" Tang Yun carried me for a long time, but I didn't say a word. He thinks of himself as an elegant gentleman, a gentleman, he has never spoken straightforwardly, only those brainless reckless men will be undisguised and too rude. As a gentleman, you must be self-contained, and being self-cultivation means that you must be tactful when you speak, and you can't be rampage.

He had never broken this theory before, and no matter what he did or who he talked to, he was a euphemism to express his purpose. But today he broke the vows here in Tang Jin, and he had to break them twice in a row, which he couldn't accept with his temperament, but ...... For the sake of his own great cause, endure it!

"Forget it, just say it for the sake of brother. It is rumored that Dingguo Gong wants to form an alliance with his cousin, and now Shen Guogong's return to the court undoubtedly proves this, so he thinks about whether he can form an alliance with his cousin for his brother and discuss major matters together. After saying the words in one breath, Tang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, the uncomfortable feeling of holding back is really not something that people can bear.

"Oh, you said it earlier, didn't I tell you if you said it earlier? I thought you were really just looking for me to eat. ”

Tang Jin's words were undoubtedly slapping Tang Yun in the face, just now he said that he was just inviting Tang Jin to dinner today, and now that the true purpose is revealed, it is embarrassing

。 But...... For the sake of the great cause, endure it!

"It's my cousin's lack of consideration, I'll talk about that later. I wonder what my cousin thinks of the proposal to be a brother? Tang Yun waved his hand. Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need to hide it, rather than giving Tang Jin another chance to choke himself, it is better to make it clear now.

"I think...... Not really. Tang Jin didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, "My alliance with Dingguo Gong is the result of countless means spent by myself, my cousin came to say a word, and I had to divide half of it, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" ”

"So what do you want? Say what you want. Tang Jin's words pierced the true purpose of his alliance with him, but Tang Yun didn't care. When it comes to this, there is only this last fig leaf left, and it doesn't matter if you want it or not.

"Before talking about this, let's talk about why you want to form an alliance with the Shen family." Tang Jin did not directly say the conditions, but asked the other party.

"Naturally, I admire the Shen family's family heirloom and want to have more exchanges with Lord Shen." Tang Yun came to such a sentence as if he had woken up, and Tang Jin, who said it directly, was full of black lines.

Smiled helplessly, Tang Jin didn't say anything, picked up the fan, arched his hand, got up and walked straight out.

"Where is my cousin? I'm not done yet. ”

"You'll talk about it when you wake up......"

As he walked out, he couldn't help but scold: "Damn, are all the royal children sick?" One is out of stock, one didn't wake up, the words are all on this, basically treat each other sincerely, you put on your clothes again in a word, you are sick! ”

"Oops! Cousin, cousin, don't go. Tang Yun hurriedly took two steps and stopped Tang Jin, "Is what my cousin said wrong?" What's the problem, you say? ”

Tang Jin glanced at him, endured the indecency in his heart, and finally said, "Cousin, everything has been said about this, is it still necessary to pretend?" You just said that you need the power of the Shen family to do something, what can you do? Since I asked, as long as you are not brain-dead, I will basically agree to form an alliance, you might as well have a deep communication with others, do you think I am a three-year-old child? ”

"This ......" Tang Yun opened his mouth and didn't know how to argue for a while, in fact, he didn't know why the ghost sent such a sentence, and he regretted it as soon as the words came out.

"It's my cousin's gaffe, I'm used to it, and it's hard to correct it for a while. Okay, I'll tell you the truth, I need the Shen family's fame in the literary world, help me recruit a large number of scholars with talent for governing the country, and as my supporters, I can also be a strategist. ”

"Wouldn't it be over if you said that earlier?" Tang Jin said helplessly, then thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If it's just like this, it's okay to divide the Shen family's connections with you, but I have one condition." If necessary, your scholars will lend me money, and of course I can guarantee that it will not be used against you. ”

"Deal!" Tang Yun agreed to Tang Jin's conditions without the slightest hesitation.
