Chapter 259: The Man Who Cherishes Talents
Although there were still too many doubts and speculations, it was decided to take Qi Lichen in first, and then wait and see the after-effects.
He has always cherished talents and can treat them with a humble attitude, so basically the people who stay with him will not leave, and he also has great confidence that he will be able to tame Qi Lichen.
He asked two cups of tea to be served, put them in front of Qi Lichen, and personally handed them to Qi Lichen and said, "Sir, drink tea, tell me about the prime minister." ”
Qi Lichen took the teacup, took a sip, smiled and said: "It's still comfortable with you the Sixth Prince, just now there, I was really uncomfortable, I was afraid that others would assassinate me, and I didn't even dare to drink a sip of water." ”
"The prime minister is so terrible there, why didn't the gentleman find a good tree to live in as soon as possible?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"Rotten wood is everywhere, where can I find good wood?" Qi Lichen smiled bitterly and picked up the teacup, "Fortunately, the good wood in the world is not extinct, and the villain replaces wine with tea and respects the six princes." ”
Gu Xizhou also picked up the teacup, smiled and said, "Mr. Jingqi." After drinking the tea, Gu Xizhou asked again: "Does Mr. Qi know why the prime minister is looking for treasures?" ”
"This is also a point that I am quite puzzled about, the prime minister, as a person of the court, is naturally supported by the court in birth, old age, sickness and death, and he should not need this money, and the emperor obviously does not know about this matter, he is not looking for the emperor, so, I guess ......" Qi Lichen said half a sentence, hesitated a little, shook his head, and pretended to drink tea profoundly.
"I don't see many things as clearly as Mr., because Mr. has always been by the prime minister's side, and I ask Mr. not to sell it." Gu Xizhou said very humbly.
Qi Lichen laughed, "It's not that it's a sale, now everything is just speculation, there is no evidence to slander others, but it also leaves a suspicious shadow in your heart to the sixth prince, not to mention that the treasure has not fallen into the hands of the prime minister, even if he thinks about anything, he shouldn't be able to do anything." ”
Gu Xizhou is not a stupid person, he was ordered like this, and he quickly understood, "Mr. said he wanted to ......"
Before the anti-word could be spoken, Qi Lichen immediately shushed, "Don't say this kind of thing here, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth, the prime minister is not an ordinary person after all." ”
Gu Xizhou quickly understood, and frowned slightly, "Does he have such guts?" ”
Qi Lichen smiled and said: "Whether you have such courage and such ambition depends on whether that batch of treasures is in hand, and this batch of treasures was taken away by unknown people, I'm afraid that the prime minister's ambition and courage have already been broken, so don't worry too much about the six princes." ”
Gu Xizhou nodded, "What you said also makes some sense. ”
Qi Lichen smiled, "Sixth prince, I haven't entered the court as an official yet, I'm afraid I'm powerless in many things." ”
Gu Xizhou sighed, "I can't have the final say in this official position, so many talents are under my door, and they can only be wronged, as a doorman, I know that Mr. is a great talent to do this is to wronged Mr., but Mr. rest assured, since Mr. has entered my door, I will definitely seek a good future for Mr." ”
"The villain didn't say this to please the official." Qi Lichen smiled faintly, "If you don't rely on your own efforts, you will still be spurned by 10,000 people after all, this year's spring exam, I will do my best, if I can come out on top, I will have the confidence to work for you in the sixth prince, if not, it means that I am just a mediocre talent, so I have to go home and farm." ”
"Mr. Qi must not say that, if you say that you are a mediocre talent, then there will be no talent in the world?" Gu Xizhou said a little anxiously, although he had a thing that he couldn't handle properly, but the heart of cherishing money dared to say the second in this dynasty, no one dared to say the first, he felt that Li Bai had a good saying, I was born to be useful, and as long as the stupid people used it properly, they could play a huge role.
It's just that his understanding of these words and the way of employing people is only a little superficial, if he can really play people's hearts with the gods, then, in this court, aren't all the people at his mercy.
Qi Lichen smiled, "Thank you for the trust of the six princes." ”
Gu Xizhou chatted with him about the prime minister for a while, and Qi Lichen told him everything he knew.
After talking all afternoon, the two had a good conversation.
In the evening, Gu Xizhou was still a little unsatisfied, but he couldn't miss Qi Lichen's meal time, so he asked people to escort him back.
After Qi Lichen thanked him, he left quickly.
Not long after he walked out of the door of the Six Princes, he felt a shadow following him behind him.
He frowned, thinking that he was also a person sent by the prime minister to follow him, and wanted to find an opportunity to do something to him, but as everyone knows, after leaving the prime minister's mansion, there will be no more such an opportunity.
He was about to leave quickly, but he didn't expect that figure to take the initiative to come out, and even saluted him with a fist, "Pavilion master." ”
He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the person in front of him, and only after a long time did he open his mouth and say, "Huang Xu, why are you here?" ”
Huang Xu looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he knelt down and said, "It was the prime minister who sent me to keep an eye on you, saying that you should not do it for the time being, and you must be detained." ”
"You're alone?" Qi Lichen frowned slightly.
The prime minister knew his identity, how could he be so negligent and send only one person to deal with him?
Huang Xu nodded and said: "It's true that there is only one subordinate, the prime minister said, if there are too many people, it is easy to swagger, and there is no hunting power for me in the rivers and lakes for a long time, I think I am safe, so let me come out to do something, knowing that my martial arts are good, and I will not be easily discovered by you, so I handed over this task to me." ”
"It stands to reason that you have only been with the prime minister for a short time, how can he trust you so much?" Qi Lichen frowned slightly.
At the beginning, this bitter trick, although it could not be regarded as seamless, but it would not fall into the hands of others, could it be that the prime minister had discovered all this?
Huang Xu gasped, "Could it be ......" said, and denied himself: "It shouldn't be, the Prime Minister has a lot of trust in me these days, and some time ago, because of the apparent pursuit of Qingyu Pavilion, he specially arranged a place for me to live, how could it be ......?"
"I hope not, you can do whatever you want." Qi Lichen said in a deep voice.
Huang Xu hesitated for a moment before he said hesitantly, "When will the pavilion master be able to give me the antidote." ”
Qi Lichen squinted at him, "One day of betrayal, no need for all day, if you don't have some use value, you will die at that time." ”
Huang Xu lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.
Qi Lichen took a deep breath, "When the prime minister doesn't need you, you can naturally go back, but don't let me know what tricks you are doing behind your back, my eyes are behind your back at any time." ”
Huang Xu broke out in a cold sweat in shock, and nodded hurriedly, "The villain understands that he will never betray the pavilion master for the second time." ”
"Get up." After Qi Lichen finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inn where he was staying, and Huang Xu also consciously introduced into the darkness, like a shadow, he seemed to be there, but he didn't seem to be there.
Qi Lichen didn't plan to go back so soon in the capital, at least he could go back when he watched the two sides fight and didn't have the heart to care about him at all.
And the prime minister seems to be completely annoyed by him, and always sends people to stare at him, and above the court, Gu Xizhou's one-man show can't be sung.
