Zheng Guanyin was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "What is the clever plan of the sir?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said unhurriedly: "Crown Princess Niangniang, at present, among the civil ministers and military generals in the court, I am afraid that the only one who can influence His Majesty's decision-making is Dugu Zhen, the head of the Dugu family, Lord Dugu Zhen is His Majesty's uncle, and the Dugu family has deep roots in Guanlong, and His Majesty will definitely consider his opinion carefully." ”

Zheng Guanyin still said with a bitter face: "But, Mr. Liu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Dugu Zhen are only general friends, will he speak for His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Liu Wenjing smiled confidently, "If the crown princess can trust the grass people, then leave this matter to the grass people!" ”

Zheng Guanyin's face was overjoyed when he heard this, "If the prince can return safely this time, then Mr. will be the great benefactor of our husband and wife." The concubine guarantees that in the future, Mr. will be prosperous and rich! ”

Liu Zhiyuan was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to give up his hand and said: "Niangniang, the grass people are not people who covet wealth and nobility, but they only admire the name of His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence, so they do their best." ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Dugu Zhen is the son of Dugu Xin, the founding father of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he has a very high rank among the nobles of Guanlong, and the power of the Dugu family is huge, so Dugu Zhen's status in Li Tang is extremely high, only for Emperor Li Yuan, and even the crown prince Li Jiancheng is respectful when he sees him.

So when Liu Zhiyuan came to visit Dugu Zhen, although he came on behalf of the Prince's Mansion, Dugu Zhen only sent a few disciples to meet and wait outside.

Liu Zhiyuan didn't care about this, and was led into the side hall by a few side brothers, but Dugu Zhen didn't wait in the side hall.

After all, Dugu Zhen is also one of Li Tang's top figures, how can he show the dignity of his identity if he doesn't leave the guests who come to visit for a while?

Liu Zhiyuan also knew it, and sat down in the side hall with a calm face, tasting the good tea sent by his subordinates.

After about half an hour, Dugu Zhen belatedly appeared in front of Liu Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, the old man is busy with things, and he has neglected Mr. Liu, forgive me, forgive me!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan bowed his hand and smiled: "Where is it?" is to disturb the boss, the boss can take time out of his busy schedule to meet the next, and he will be afraid in the evening. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and sat down separately. Dugu Zhen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu suddenly came to visit, I don't know what happened?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan got straight to the point and said: "Boss, as the saying goes, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and you came here today for the prince!" ”

Dugu Zhen pretended to be casual and said: "Regarding the matter of the prince, didn't the Holy Lord already send the peace envoy headed by Liu Wenjing to Jiangdu?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan sighed, "The old man doesn't know, today Lord Liu Wenjing sent an eagle letter from Jiangdu, and the crown princess immediately went to the palace to meet the saint, but who knew that she was rejected by the saint, according to the father-in-law in the palace, the saint was worried about the prince's affairs!" ”

Dugu Zhen seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Does the crown princess want the minister to do something?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded slightly, "Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the boss is the most respected, your majesty will definitely be able to listen to your words, and I hope that the boss will help His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Dugu Zhen took another sip of tea and said lightly: "Mr. Liu, the old man has no deep friendship with His Royal Highness the Prince, why do you want to help him?" What's more, since the saint is worried about the affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince, it means that the Sui Dynasty's offer is too high, which is beyond the scope of His Majesty's bearing, and the old man's advice at this time will inevitably anger the saint. Why did the old man go to displease the saint for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Liu Zhiyuan smiled faintly and said: "The boss is wrong to say this, the boss is not only helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time, but also helping the Dugu family!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? Dugu Zhen squinted his eyes and smiled.

Liu Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said, "Dare to ask the boss, if the saint gives up His Royal Highness the crown prince because the price of the Sui Dynasty is too high, who does the boss think is the most likely to inherit the throne?" ”

Dugu Zhen said without thinking: "Naturally, it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

"That's it!"

Liu Zhiyuan nodded heavily, "Don't forget, my lord, right now, the head of the Dou family, Dou Kang, is following His Royal Highness the King of Qin to Longxi to face Xue Ju, and the children of the Dou family are also following, it seems that the relationship between the Dou family and His Royal Highness the King of Qin is extraordinary!" The boss thinks that if His Royal Highness King Qin inherits the unification, can the Dugu family still be above the Dou family? ”

Dugu Zhen's body shook slightly when he heard this, and he stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Liu's words are not unreasonable!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan saw that Dugu Zhen had already moved, and he was secretly overjoyed, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "Think about it again, old man, as the saying goes, it's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow." The boss has done His Royal Highness the Crown Prince such a big favor this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be grateful to the Prince, and in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the unification, and he will definitely rely heavily on the Dugu family. When the time comes, the status of the Dugu family will be unbreakable! ”

Dugu Zhen was completely moved, but after all, he is the head of a family, he represents the entire Dugu family, and any major matter must be approved by the people in the family.

Taking a deep breath, Dugu Zhen said lightly: "What Mr. Liu said is very much in line with me, but at this time, the old man still has to discuss with the people in the clan, Mr. Liu will invite him first!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan bowed and said lightly: "Then I will retire first!" ”

Seeing Liu Zhiyuan walking away, Dugu Zhen said lightly behind the screen, "Come out!" ”

As soon as Dugu Zhen's voice fell, three people came out from behind the screen, namely Dugu Zhen's brother Dugu Luo's son Dugu Yu, Dugu Shan's son Dugu Lan and Dugu Huaien's son Dugu Huaien, among which Dugu Huaien has been designated as the next head of the Dugu family.

Glancing at his three nephews, Dugu Zhen said calmly: "You have all heard Liu Zhiyuan's words, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Dugu Yu was the first to speak: "Uncle, I think what Liu Zhiyuan said is reasonable, the current Dou family is becoming more and more domineering, if it weren't for Queen Dou's early death, I'm afraid that now Dou Kang would dare to call himself the first in Guanlong!" ”

Dugu Zhen glanced at Dugu Lan and Dugu Huaien a few more times, and when he saw that both of them nodded, he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, then our Dugu family will put the treasure on His Royal Highness the Prince." Huaien, you go and invite the Hou Mo Chen family, the Yu family, and the Yuan family for me, and say that I will hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow and sincerely invite them to come together! ”
