Chapter 508: Guilt (Part II)

Lan Ziyi bowed slightly when he heard this, and replied:

"Father-in-law, you know more about King De's temperament, father-in-law. Not to mention scheduling, even if he let him use his brain to think about it, he didn't have the courage. ”

Lan Ziyi's words were blunt, but when Gonggong Yu heard this, he just smiled, and he said:

"Wei Hou, I grew up with King De, and I do know King De better than Wei Hou. It is precisely because I know King De that I feel that the matter of Wei Hou taking private wealth to reward the army has the dispatch of the prince. ”

Lan Ziyi laughed secretly in his heart, Gonggong Long, you are really talking nonsense with your eyes open, and you dare to put this gold powder on King De's face? Don't you feel hot on your face? However, Lan Ziyi still replied politely:

"My father-in-law is wrong. Since returning to Beijing, the prince went out early and returned late every day, saying that he was going to Dr. Zhou's house to study, but in fact, only God knows what he was going to do. As a result, the military household blocked the door early, and King De did not come to go out, so he was so frightened that he hid in the building and refused to come out. King De saw me unhappy, ignored me on weekdays, had no arrangements before, and he retreated when he was in battle, how could he arrange this matter? ”

Lan Ziyi's words were straightforward, and Grandpa Long was very unhappy to listen to. Although Grandpa Long's face did not show color, his breath had become heavy, and he listened to it with disdain.

Lan Ziyi knew that Gonggong Long was snorting coldly, so after finishing speaking, Lan Ziyi stopped his chopsticks and lowered his head and smiled, waiting for Gonggong Long to fall.

Gonggong Long looked at Lan Ziyi, thought for a while, and spoke again:

"Wei Hou, it is human nature to be afraid, suddenly there are so many people blocking the door, and it is normal for King De to be angry for a while, but this does not mean that King De is hard-hearted, does not care about the suffering of the people, and does not understand the state of the world."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Father-in-law, King De specially built a wall in the courtyard to seal me up, if he is likely to kill me, how can he arrange things with me in advance?"

Long Gong Justice:

"There are many ways to arrange, Wei Hou, didn't you also say that Wu Yousi went to send you a message? Maybe that's it.

Ziyi, think about it carefully, how did King De arrange this matter at that time? “

As soon as Father-in-law Long said this, Lan Ziyi scolded his mother in his heart, and when it came to this, he was simply forcing Lan Ziyi to give up his credit, which was really shameless.

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"That day, Wu Yousi just asked me to go outside the door to deal with the affairs of the military household, and he didn't say anything else, and he didn't arrange any orders from King De."

Grandpa Long's patience should have been almost worn out by Lan Ziyi at this time, and Lan Ziyi felt the familiar headache again, but the pain was not as intense as when he saw Grandpa Long in the past.

Grandpa Long could still control his emotions, he took a deep breath and said:

"Ziyi, Zhang Mingyue and the people who support him in the foreign court plan to use your private reward as an excuse. You did this to give the military family in the capital a very big favor, but this favor is a hot potato, and it is not suitable for you to hold it. You only need to move your tongue, and if you give this merit to King De, there will be no excuse for being attacked, so why do you have to take this hot potato in your arms? ”

Lan Ziyi thought that when he rewarded the silver in front of the palace that day, the father and son of the enemy family had already spoken to him, asking Lan Ziyi to give the credit to King De. If Lan Ziyi listened to the advice of the enemy's father and son that day and gave up the credit, it would be a sincere protector and a meritorious rescue, no matter how you say it, it sounds good. Now that Gonggong Long is coercing and tempting here, if he loosens his mouth at this time, won't it make people think that he Lan Ziyi toasts and doesn't eat and drink, and he has to be forced to spit out dividends?

Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of temperament is a big matter, and face cannot be easily lost. What's more, Lan Ziyi didn't intend to let King De pick up such a big bargain from the beginning.

So Lan Ziyi replied:

"Father-in-law, my Lan Ziyi has been loyal and good for generations, and I have always seen the court with a naked heart. If there is any gossip in the court, let him go, I, Lanzi, am a righteous gentleman, and I am not afraid of villains. That Shen Zhong was originally a villain, when the demon thief crossed the river, he was the one who fought in the court, and he was the one who secretly sent loyalty to the demon thief. Who will believe his word because of this virtue? ”

Gonggong Long patiently listened to Lan Ziyi's words, and Lan Ziyi found that Gonggong Long didn't care about Shen Zhong's affairs at all, and Gonggong Long just hoped that Lan Ziyi would finish his words soon.

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, Gonggong Long immediately spoke:

"Weihou, your family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, and the emperor also remembers it in his heart, it is precisely because of your loyalty that the emperor chose you to assist King De."

Seeing that Lan Ziyi's position was moved, Gonggong Long further said:

"Marquis Wei, everyone knows that the emperor loves King De, but King De's foundation is too shallow, and the people's hearts are not attached, so the emperor has to give King De a chance to make meritorious contributions."

Lan Ziyi was very indignant when he heard this sentence of Gonggong Long, because he wanted to give King De the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he had to sacrifice the hinterland of Dazheng along the river? The hundreds of people and soldiers who died just to add a merit to King De?

There is anger in his heart, and his words have their own expression, but Lan Ziyi has also eaten nails a few times, and he knows the seriousness of the matter, this time he is not so excited when he speaks, he said:

"Father-in-law, the deeds that King De did before are really unbearable to claim to be meritorious, if virtue does not match the position, there will be disasters, if the emperor really thinks about King De, he should not raise King De to such a high position, this is roasting King De with fire."

Hearing this, Gonggong Long's face finally couldn't hold back, and he said in a cold voice:

"It's not the turn of Wei Hou to intervene in royal matters."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi arched his hand and said:

"Ziyi, as a member of the staff of King De, naturally has to be loyal to King De. Loyal words are contrary to the ear, and naturally they don't sound good. ”

Gonggong Long snorted coldly and said:

"Wei Hou, what you said is really nice."

Then Gonggong Long sighed and said to Lan Ziyi in a serious tone:

"Weihou, I know that you and King De have a conflict, and the two of you don't like each other. King De bullied you to the head, I know that in the future, I will teach him a good lecture on behalf of the emperor, and I will never let him be presumptuous again. Besides, Weihou, didn't you kick him in the army? I also helped you suppress the matter of beating the prince as a marquis, didn't I? I went to your house that day to set it up, and I also scolded King De for you in person, right? If Wei Hou is unwilling to sell his favor to King De, would it be good to sell him to me? Just to do me a favor. “

It should be said that Gonggong Long's words were very sincere, and there were several moments when Lan Ziyi had been persuaded by Gonggong Long. It's just that now when you are giving in to the work, or when Gonggong Long has already begged for something, aren't you afraid that Gonggong Long will settle accounts in the future if you let him out?

Lan Ziyi didn't think of a good idea for a while, lowered his head and fell into contemplation, while Gonggong Long couldn't wait to add words:

"Ziyi, you are the companion of King De, and you are a staff member, and you know which is more important. What is the dispute between the DPRK and China now? Isn't it the face of King De? Ziyi, this thing you did is a big face, as long as you are willing to give King De, I will have something to say when I fight with Zhang Mingyue at the military aircraft. ”

Seeing that Lan Ziyi still didn't speak, Gonggong Long said:

"Wei Hou, now that the imperial court is short of money, the internal affairs office is not much better, it is precisely because of the lack of silver that the military tiger gate has no pension. But this is an act of loyalty and righteousness, and the emperor will not treat you badly. The emperor has already told me that your money will not be let out in vain, and you are willing to pay back one million to you after spending 500,000 yuan. ”

Lan Ziyi was not happy to hear this, Father-in-law Long meant that Lan Ziyi was sitting on the ground and asking for a price after doing it for a long time, and he didn't think the money was much?

Immediately, Lan Ziyi said:

"Father-in-law, my family is not short of that little money."

Long Gong Justice:

"Wei Hou's family is not short of money, is it just that reputation? Who doesn't know that Beizhen Lan Qianqian Array defended the country and defended the border, resisted the war, and made great achievements? ”

Gonggong Long deliberately said the sentence of high merit and shocking the lord, which was to ring the alarm bell to Lan Ziyi, telling him that his family's fame was already full and could not be added. Kelan Ziyi, a young man with strong blood, is not even willing to eat wine, unwilling to fold face, how can he swallow other people's threats?

If Father-in-law Long's words were Lan Ziyi's own people, such as the father and son of the enemy family, Lan Ziyi might still listen to it, and spit it out from Father-in-law Long's mouth, Lan Ziyi was a hundred unwilling in his heart, he raised his head and looked at the merits:

"Father-in-law, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, my Lan family has always done things above board, there is yes, there is no, there is no, King De has nothing to do with this matter, how can I pull him in?"

Gonggong Long's brows furrowed when he heard this, he stared at Lan Ziyi and asked:

"Wei Hou doesn't want to help me with this?"

Lan Ziyi looked at Father-in-law Long and did not answer.

When the atmosphere was awkward, a eunuch from Taichengwei's side outside the door said:

"Father-in-law Long, Marquis Wei, the slave from the Military Aircraft Department has come to invite the two of you to come over to discuss the matter."
