Chapter 346: A Gentleman's Agreement

Although Guo Yi is now a celebrity around the prince, but a house is not inconspicuous, Guo Yi's house is not on Xuanwu Street, which is an inch of land, but in Yiningfang, a popular place that has just re-emerged.

But Xiao Renjie, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, knew a news, that is, His Majesty is now preparing to move these factories from Chang'an to Lantian County, so that the land price of Yiningfang may be stronger than Xuanwu Street in the future.

It can also be seen from this small incident that Guo Yi's vision is extraordinary.

When Xiao Renjie came, Guo Yi happened to be resting, and when he heard that Xiao Renjie was coming, Guo Yi hurriedly met Xiao Renjie in the main hall, although he didn't like this person, but he and this person were both people around the prince, so the two were natural allies.

Xiao Renjie arched his hand to Guo Yi and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Guo, for disturbing your rest day." ”

Guo Yi affectionately helped Xiao Renjie up and said, "Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao can come, Guo feels very honored." ”

After the two sat down, they said a few more polite words, and Xiao Renjie said directly to the point: "Lord Guo, you are also well-informed in the capital, presumably you also know about His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Guo Yi nodded and said, "Haha, Guo was about to go to the East Palace to congratulate His Highness, and Lord Xiao came." ”

Xiao Renjie sighed and said: "Lord Guo's vision is really different from ordinary people, and now many people think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lost power, and even rumors compare His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with Fusu, the eldest son of the First Emperor, which is really short-sighted." ”

"Lord Xiao, Guo has also heard about these messages, Guo is going to write an article in the newspaper tomorrow to refute these people, but unfortunately Guo has limited knowledge and still doesn't know how to write it? This is not just the right time for Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao is the champion, and the writing is brilliant, or this article will be written by Lord Xiao. Guo Yi said with a smile.

Xiao Renjie suddenly became interested and asked, "In what ways is General Guo going to refute?" ”

Guo Yi replied without hesitation: "First of all, they compare the current Majesty to the first emperor in the twilight years, this is cursing Your Majesty, and secondly, the current majesty is not the fool of the first emperor, and His Royal Highness the prince is not Fusu, Guo feels that after experiencing this incident, when His Royal Highness the prince returns to Chang'an again, there will be no one to shake the position of the crown prince." ”

Xiao Renjie clapped his hands and said, "Lord Guo's insight is really admirable to Xiao." ”

"Haha, since that's the case, then let's ask Lord Xiao to write." Guo Yi couldn't wait to say.

Xiao Renjie waved his hand and said, "Lord Guo, don't worry, don't you think it's better to take this opportunity to let those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods show up?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on the bright side, and he has to guard against the conspiracy behind them every day, which is very uncomfortable, now we can take this opportunity to let those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods be exposed, and then they will be caught all in one go. ”

Guo Yi hurriedly nodded after hearing this: "Lord Xiao's plan is good, although Guo has not read much, he also knows what this plan is called." ”

"It's an attempt to get away with it." With that, they both burst out laughing at the same time.

Before leaving, Xiao Renjie still advised: "Lord Guo, jokes are jokes, but there is one thing that Lord Guo must take to heart, and that is the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is everything to you and me." ”

"Lord Xiao, don't worry, Guo will definitely live and die with His Royal Highness the Prince." Guo Yi replied very seriously.

After Xiao Renjie returned to Jingzhaoyin again, news also came from Zhang Xiaojing's side, and this rumor was spread by Concubine Liao's personal attendant Jin Shan'er.

After knowing this, Xiao Renjie was going to see another person, this person was Jin Shan'er's cousin Gao Pei, since Goryeo was reclaimed, Gao Pei went to Liaozhou to be the Taishou of Goryeo County, and these days are just when Gao Pei returns to Beijing to take up his post.

Gao Pei has also made small achievements in Gaoli over the years, no worse than what he did in Guizhou, Xiao Renjie has vaguely heard that some people call Gao Pei and himself "Tang Shuangzhu". ”

Not only that, but there is another similarity between the two, that is, both of them are relatives, one is standing behind the crown prince, and the other is Li Chengchao, the king of Liao.

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and before Li Chengtang went to find Gao Pei, Gao Pei's housekeeper came to the door, and Gao Pei's housekeeper sent Xiao Renjie an invitation, which said that it was Yuchun Lou tonight.

After reading it, Xiao Renjie couldn't help but smile and said, "When did your master like to go to this kind of place?" ”

The housekeeper replied with a smile: "Lord Xiao, my lord has never liked this kind of bright and bright place, haven't you heard that Lord Xiao likes it?" Only then did I arrange for Yuchun Tower to meet with adults. ”

Xiao Renjie smiled bitterly: "It seems that I am still really notorious, go back and tell your master, I will be on time tonight." ”

"Thank you, Lord Xiao, the old slave is retiring."

In the evening, Xiao Renjie came to Yuchun Building as promised, Gao Pei booked a private room on the second floor and was waiting for Xiao Renjie, Xiao Renjie looked left and right after coming in and said: "Lao Gao, you are a little uninteresting, why don't you want women in a place like Qinglou?" ”

Gao Pei said lightly: "After we finish talking about business, after I leave, you can find as many girls as you want, and the account will be on me." ”

Xiao Renjie smiled bitterly: "Alas, then can you replace the tea on this table with wine, this is no problem." ”

Gao Pei shook his head and said: "I don't drink as much as you, wait until we finish talking about business, and then drink, I'm afraid that I will be cheated by you when I drink now." ”

"Ah, it turns out that I, Xiao Renjie, am this kind of person in your eyes?"

Gao Pei sneered: "Not only that, I already regard you as an opponent, only when I treat my opponent will I be so serious." ”

Xiao Renjie waved his hand and said: "Lao Gao, the second prince has no hope, even if you defeat the crown prince, the throne will not be the second prince's turn, you should understand this in your heart, why are you still so persistent?" ”

Gao Pei nodded and replied very calmly: "I'm not stupid, I know this, the reason why I insist, two reasons, the first is that His Majesty's means to get Goryeo are not glorious, as a Goryeo, I have resentment in my heart, so I want to fight, even if I fail, let Your Majesty take a good look at the courage and wisdom of the Goryeo people, so that Your Majesty may be better to the people of Goryeo in the future." ”

Xiao Renjie arched his hand and said: "Although I know that you are using your mantis arm as a car, Lao Tzu also has to admire your courage, what about the second point." ”

At this time, Gao Pei's face was finally no longer cold, and Gao Pei said very gently: "Second, it is because she wants to be the queen mother, so no matter what, as her only relative in this world, shouldn't she fight for her ideals?" ”

"Yes, yes, but I always feel that your feelings for her are not like pure brother and sister love." Xiao Renjie whispered.

Gao Pei sneered: "You don't have to worry about this, I just want to ask me if these two reasons persuade you?" ”

Xiao Renjie replied seriously: "You have these two reasons, one is for public and the other is private, and I have no reason to object." ”

"In that case, then today I will officially declare war on you, we will be enemies in the future, and I don't want you to show mercy to me at that time." Gao Pei stretched out his palm and said.

Xiao Renjie and Gao Pei slapped their hands heavily and said, "No problem, I promise you, if you have anything else to say, let's finish it together." ”

"Chapter 3 of the Law, first, I will not harm the lives of the prince and the queen, and you will not harm the lives of Shan'er and Chengchao; Second, our struggle must not affect the overall situation of the government and government, in the face of the overall situation, you and I must retreat, I don't want to be a person who brings disaster to the country and the people; Thirdly, you and I can't keep our hands, we have to do our best, how about it? Gao Pei continued.

Xiao Renjie nodded and said, "It's a gentleman's agreement, and I also agree with what you said, so it's no problem, I agree." ”

After hearing Xiao Renjie's answer, Gao Pei stood up and patted his body and left, Xiao Renjie was stunned, and waited until Gao Pei was about to walk to the door before asking, "Alas, just left?" ”

Gao Pei turned around and said, "Don't worry, the wine and beauty you want will come over soon." After speaking, Gao Pei left without looking back.
