Someone came to visit me at such a late hour? It's not someone he knows, Li Dongsheng is also very curious, there are really not many visitors like him who don't have a wide range of friends and come to the door so rashly, he nodded and said: "Please come to the study!"

Because I don't know who it is, and there are not many people who can let Li Dongsheng go out to greet him, Li Dongsheng was waiting in the study, and then the door curtain was lifted, and a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen walked in: "Zhou Xing, the capital of Shangshu Province, has seen the Duke of Lantian County!" ”

Hearing the name Zhou Xing, Li Dongsheng's eyes couldn't help but squint, and then said calmly: "Please take a seat." I wonder why Zhou Dushi came to visit so late? ”

Zhou Xing sat down and looked at Li Dongsheng in front of him, everyone is about the same age, why is he already the prince of Lantian County, the prime minister is backward, but he is just a small principal, and then look at his appearance is also suave, although he is in his thirties, but that mature temperament is more attractive, but after tonight, maybe he will have to listen to my call, hehe.

Li Dongsheng is also observing this famous cool official in later generations, he is still very young at this time, and his appearance is average, but his lips are very thin and he looks mean, looking at Zhou Xing's expression from envy to jealousy to pride, Li Dongsheng coughed and said: "Master Zhou... ”

Zhou Xing followed Xu Jingzong as soon as he entered the office, and finally he was outstanding in Shangshu Province and had a "capable" reputation, so that he could stand out among so many people and be valued by Xu Jingzong.

"The Duke of Lantian County became famous at a young age, his poems are sung all over the world, and he is a military achievement, and he is also proficient in the art of Tao Zhu. . Zhou Xing said with a smile.

Li Dongsheng is tired of feeling crooked, am I very familiar with you? You also know that you are a subordinate official, and he said calmly: "Master Zhou, please speak directly, I don't like people who can't talk in the clouds... ”

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, his face was flushed, don't you just talk about your bearing when you are an official, where you come up to talk about things, don't you go back and forth a few tricks first, test it, where is there still an official who is so straight and upright.

He said with a straight face: "The Lantian County Princess's career is prosperous, and his family is harmonious, and he is the object of our worship, but why can't the county prince think about it and throw away this beautiful life single-handedly?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The county has a successful business, and there are industries in various places. Perfumes, cotton cloth, mirrors, etc. are all sought-after goods, but the dozens of artillery pieces brought by Li Ting in this victory in the Western Regions may not be easy to explain to the emperor. Zhou Xing looked at Li Dongsheng, and his face became cold: "The first emperor has an order, all firearms must be produced under the firearms supervision, and the rest of the people are not allowed to manufacture, produce and sell privately, and violators will be punished for rebellion." This artillery is not only a firearm, but also very powerful, bringing a serious threat to the safety of Datang, Grandpa Li, what are the consequences if I impeach you in a book? ”

Li Dongsheng smiled slightly: "That's Li Ting taking someone there, what does it have to do with me." Your Majesty also said that it was a righteous teacher, why are you impeaching me? ”

"Grandpa Li, since I came today, I am sure, otherwise you are a third-grade master, how dare I, a seventh-grade master, come to the door in person!" Zhou Xing said coldly: "Your Majesty's heart is not something you can guess, today it is said that it is a righteous teacher, maybe tomorrow it will become a thief, and there are many officials in the DPRK and China who are not used to Grandpa Li, I believe they don't mind falling into the well." ”

Li Dongsheng looked at Zhou Xing without speaking, and Zhou Xing was terrified, but this matter was arranged by Xu Jingzong for him to do, if you want the leader to appreciate it, you have to show your ability, if you can't talk about it tonight, then Zhou Xing's future will be gone, so he also cheered himself up and met Li Dongsheng's eyes directly.

"You're so confident you can bring me down?" Li Dongsheng seemed to smile: "Just rely on you as a seven-grade master?" If the court did this, it would be a mess. ”

"Grandpa Li, we don't talk darkly, I'm just a lobbyist to inform you, and you don't want to know who the people behind me are. Anyway, I will definitely be able to make this matter bigger for you, and now it depends on your choice whether you live or die. ”

Li Dongsheng leaned back in the chair and said, "It seems that you have settled on me." Then why don't you go and impeach me now? ”

"Because we think that everyone is in the officialdom, and harmony is precious, now it depends on whether you know each other, Grandpa Li!"

"Well, tell me about your conditions! Let me see if it's worth it. Li Dongsheng said with a teacup in his hand.

"The conditions are very simple, we want eighty percent of all your family's properties! Listen, it's all industries, including mirrors, cotton, perfumes... "Zhou Xing is getting more and more excited now, how about you are my grandfather, but I will be the prime minister of the dynasty, and I am still the one that Your Majesty values the most. You're just a fish on the chopping block now, waiting for us to break it up.

"Hehehe, your mouth is not small. You're not afraid of dying with so many things? Zhou Xing found that Li Dongsheng was not angry, and still spoke to him very calmly.

In his understanding, if anyone wants to take so much money from him, he must be desperate. But Li Dongsheng's reaction was too weird.

"Grandpa Li, I know that good money is hard to give up, but no matter how much money you have, it's meaningless to enjoy it." Zhou Xingdao: "Who doesn't know that you are rich and rival the country, and you should let everyone share the dividends, right?" ”

Li Dongsheng didn't speak in his seat for a long time, Zhou Xing was very proud in his heart, and he didn't rush to urge, after half a sound, he didn't wait for the answer he wanted, he asked a little anxiously: "Grandpa Li, you have to give me an answer today, otherwise tomorrow morning's court meeting will let you know what a storm is." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait to see what I know." Li Dongsheng stared at Zhou Xing and said, "I'll see how far you and your backstage can impeach me." ”

When Zhou Xing heard it, he thought that Li Dongsheng was going to agree under pressure, but who knew that the turn of events behind him caught him off guard: "Grandpa Li, you really don't think about it, you can make it again if you don't have money, but if your life is gone, then the money will belong to someone else." ”。

Li Dongsheng laughed: "I don't care about money at all, I mainly hate you and hate being threatened." Congratulations, there is one more person who makes me disgusted, I want to be closer to you in the future, Director Zhou, the Tang Dynasty is vast and sparsely populated, sometimes when you are an official, there are some natural and man-made disasters, and there are many people who die in other places. ”

"How dare you threaten?" Zhou Xing now knows that he is afraid, this guy on the other side has an official position, character and money, and it is too simple to really want to deal with a small seventh-grade official on his own.
