Li Su was speechless, looking at Lu Dongzan blankly, and didn't squeak for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The country of Zhenla may be a small uncivilized barbarian country, but it ...... This should be more appropriate for us Datang people, right? You are a sparsely populated country located on the plateau, with a chaotic culture and a lack of heritage, so far there is only the local Yongzhong religion, whether it is a wedding or a sacrifice to cure the disease, it will only be solved by the god of jumping, even if it is a pot of hodgepodge, the weight of this pot of hodgepodge is pitiful......

In such a culturally and economically barren country, Li Sushi didn't know where Lu Dongzan's inexplicable sense of superiority and arrogance came from, and he actually scolded others for being an uncivilized barbarian country...... Is it good for you two countries to be half a pound and eight taels?

Li Su couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Dongzan, seeing that Lu Dongzan still had a look of haughty disdain, and after making sure that there was no sign of being ashamed of himself, Li Su nodded.

Well, you're civilized, you're of high quality, you're not a barbarian......

However, hearing Lu Dongzan say that the person was the prince of Zhenla, Li Su couldn't help scratching his head.

It seems that I heard "Zhenla Country" not long ago, but I forgot the reason, who did I listen to?

This Li Su and Lu Dongzan were chatting, and the young man not far away was stunned when he saw that someone came out to save him halfway, and looked at Li Su blankly, his expression was quite surprised, his face was blue and purple, and he couldn't tell that he was a prince at all.

Li Su pointed at him, and said with a smile to Lu Dongzan: "It can be seen that Brother Lu has a grudge against this person, and the foolish brother has never known him, of course he is willing to stand on Brother Lu's side, but this is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and that person is a prince, and he openly beats people on the street, after all, it is a bit unruly. ”

The words were polite, but there was a hint of edge, Lu Dongzan understood, and his expression was a little ugly.

The meaning of Li Su's words is very clear, this is the Tang Dynasty, not the Tubo where you claim to be the king and hegemon, this kind of thing is very unqualified, not to mention that it is still a prince who fights a prince, no matter how domineering you are in Tubo, people in Datang must follow the rules of Datang.

Lu Dongzan obviously understood. So he hurriedly explained: "Brother Xian doesn't know, this prince of Zhenla is really too much, originally His Majesty the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty has allowed Princess Wencheng to marry me Songtsen Gampo and canonize him, but this prince of Zhenla came out of nowhere halfway to block my way, saying that he wants to reason with me, saying that he and Princess Wencheng are in love, just waiting for the envoy of the country to ask His Majesty the Heavenly Khan for marriage, and he can't marry me Tubo Zampu......"

Sighing, Lu Dongzan smiled wryly and said, "Brother Xian, listen, is this still reasonable?" My Tubo delegation came to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to ask to marry the princess, but it was in accordance with the national rites and the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were also happy to see it, but the prince of this small country came out halfway and tried to stir up the matter, which is simply a serious provocation to my Tubo country, how can the foolish brother endure this breath? I couldn't help but argue with this person on the street just now, and when the foolish brother was angry, it was inevitable that he would lose some temper, but there was a reason for it, and the virtuous brother should not be surprised. ”

Li Supi glanced at the prince with a smile.

The prince was so angry that he couldn't help but take two steps forward and said angrily: "Nonsense! I've been begging you for good things, so why argue? It's you who didn't say a word and ordered people to come up and beat me, and the Tubo country bullied the weak, is there no place to reason in Datang? ”

Lu Dongzan's expression suddenly became gloomy, his eyes shone coldly, and he said coldly: "It's you who want to snatch my Tubo Zanpu's love, it's a matter of the national body, how can you be willing to rest?" Your Royal Highness the Prince, please be cautious, don't cause trouble to your Zhenla country, my Tubo warriors and soldiers refer to Zhenla, just borrow the six edicts, and it won't take much effort! ”

The prince of Zhenla froze, bit his cheeks and stopped talking, glaring at Lu Dongzan, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Li Su didn't say anything, but he understood everything.

It turned out that this prince was the person Dongyang said who had a lifelong engagement with Princess Wencheng, and all this in front of him, no matter how crowned Lu Dongzan said, it was really those three words, "bullying people".

This is the difference between a strong country and a weak country, in the face of a strong country, even if it is an inconspicuous small county marquis like Li Su in a powerful country, Lu Dongzan puts down his body and intersects, Li Su intentionally or unintentionally makes him a little angry, a little stimulated, once or twice beating his entourage, Lu Dongzan can laugh and never care. However, in the face of a weak country, such as the Zhenla country, even if the other party is a prince, he will be beaten if he says that he will be beaten, and he dares to instruct his entourage to beat him openly on the street, which shows that he does not take this small country in his eyes at all, and he is not worried about the consequences at all, because he is sure that there will be no consequences, and the small Zhenla country will be destroyed in his eyes, without much effort.

It's brutal, but it's realistic.

Li Su doesn't want to do much, he is not familiar with this prince, he doesn't understand his character at all, he has done his best to help him just now, there is no reason to help him again and again, after all, Li Su is just a passerby who plays soy sauce, not the prince and his father.

After a few words of persuasion, Lu Dongzan and Prince Zhenla stopped fighting, revealed it, and then said goodbye to Li Su.

The prince of Zhenla also gave Li Su a long look when he left, Datang's etiquette is very good, it seems that the books he has read in Datang over the years have not been read in the dog's stomach, and when he left, he glanced at Li Su deeply, Li Su nodded with a smile, which was a response.

***************************************************************

For Li Su, visiting the Cheng Mansion is similar in nature to following up Weihu Mountain, which is a process of fighting wits and courage, and from the gate of the Cheng family, Li Su has fallen into a high degree of nervousness.

"Wha! What a little offspring, how long have I not seen you, when the old man died? What a faux pas! Cheng Yanjin's big hairy face appeared in front of Li Su's eyes, and he hadn't seen him for many days, and he was still ugly and shiny.

Li Su hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Little nephew to meet ......"

"Bact! When the old man dies, you will worship ......" Cheng Yanjin skipped Li Su and went straight to the two big carts of gifts behind Li Su, and when he saw the full ox cart, Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed.

"Although I don't often come to see the old man lose his manners, but the gift is barely eye-catching, that's it, the old man forgives you, come to the person, accept it, baby, and accompany the old man to drink, yesterday I bought two orchids in the house, the green eyes stared at the old man's heart, you go to try it to the taste, if you like it, I will give it to you."

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but pull Li Su to his home, Li Su was anxious, and stammered: "Slow!" Uncle Cheng, those two carts of gifts are not only for you, but also for the Niu family and the Li family......"

Cheng Biting Jin laughed: "The little baby is joking again, no matter what good things are, but whenever you pass by the gate of my Cheng's house, there is no reason to let it slip through the net, everything is surnamed Cheng, the two cows pulling the cart are good, well, also surnamed Cheng, come, don't care about these subsections, come in and drink......"

Li Su was dumbfounded: "The cow pulling the cart ...... It's, they're ......"

"Yes, my surname is Cheng, the baby is getting more and more unhappy, you come again, eat beef, cook and fry whatever you want." Cheng Yanjin smiled brightly, and even turned his head to look at the two cows that were being led to the side yard of the family, his eyes were very salivating.

Li Su was stunned and let the old rascal drag him through the door.

It's decided, in the future, ask someone to pick up two loads of dung at the door of the road, and try to see if there will be a live bandit inside to taste the taste.

…………

The familiar big bowl of wine and big bowl of meat, entering the front hall of the Cheng family is like entering the Juyi Hall of Shuibo Liangshan, and the people of Tai Swen will be despised by all the heroes in the hall.

Cheng Biting Jin was still babbling, and he called Kabuki at the beginning of the banquet, and the rows of beauties were like dazzling flowers, and the fish rushed in, swaying in the hall and began to dance, Cheng Biting Jin squinted and smiled very obscenely,...... Everything in the Cheng family is an overriding bargaining chip with quantity, even the Kabuki who is entertained by the banquet, the number of people is two or three times more than that of other powerful families, as soon as the banquet opens, the front hall of the Cheng family suddenly becomes a crowded vegetable market, which is stuffed with beauties of all colors from all over the world, and one by one takes turns to dance, vividly replicating the bustling pomp and bustle in the Dongguan nightclub after a thousand years.

Li Su was highly nervous to laugh and drink, and by the way, he was also distracted by the various beauties who came up from time to time to make him cheaper, and his embarrassed and embarrassing appearance caused a group of maiko to giggle, and the harassment of him became more and more frequent.

Just when Li Su was tired of resisting and exhausted, Cheng Yanjin finally had his heart's content, poured a bowl of wine into his stomach, and after a long wine burp, he waved his hand impatiently and drove all the Kabuki out, leaving only him and Li Su in the front hall of Cheng's house.

"It's also an adult in his early twenties, and this little battle is still in a hurry, and the woman comes up regardless of touching two handfuls first, and if she likes it, she will take it to the room to sleep, and if she doesn't like it, she will kick it away, as for hiding around? Dress up serious! Cheng Yanjin said disdainfully.

Li Su said with a bitter face: "The hospitality in Uncle's Mansion is too warm, and the kid is not blessed to receive it." ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "You kid is a weirdo, say you are a decent gentleman, you are not unclose to women, and you are even better at hooking up with women, even the princess is ...... by you Hehe, say that you are a disciple, but you don't pretend to ordinary women, and you don't want to send them to you, so ah, men are cheap, and they are abandoned for nothing, but those who are not easy to get their hands on are going to die or live to snatch her over, and they don't care about their lives. ”

Li Su blinked, not used to the old rascal talking to him about such esoteric topics.

He always felt that Cheng Yanjin's words were not said casually, and when he lived to this age, there was always a foreshadowing for what he said, and it seemed to be irrelevant gossip, and when he was talking, he would always turn to the main topic he wanted to say.

Sure enough, Cheng Biting Jin changed his words and got to the point.

"Say that men are cheap, everyone in the world is like this, not only for women, but also for power and money, when you get the things in your hand, you feel that it should be his, and if you can't get it, you will fight for your head and blood, go to your life, live in it and be happy, and those who don't live in it will work hard, from the general trend of the world to an official position, it is probably the same, there are few exceptions, little baby, the old man sees you as an exception. I've known you for about seven or eight years, right? The old man saw you today and saw you seven or eight years ago, from the inside to the outside has not changed, that year you were just a little farmer, unintentionally saved Princess Dongyang, the old man was ordered to investigate, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were not a mortal thing in the pool......"

Li Su hurriedly saluted and said, "Uncle praise, boy......"

Cheng Yanjin snorted: "I haven't finished speaking, how do you know that the old man is praising you?" …… Seven or eight years ago, when the old man saw you, he felt that you were an indisputable person, not indisputable, really unwilling to fight, you were born a casual person, casual life, and doing things casually, others saw that you only wanted to enjoy yourself in front of you, and always looked lazy and tired, as if nothing was on your heart, not in your eyes, from an ordinary farmer's child, just a few years to be named the marquis of the county, the first of the Tang Dynasty, and you are still the lazy appearance of the year, has not changed at all, not to mention whether your lazy nature is pretending or nature, the old man has to say, your temperament is really suitable for surviving in the court......"

Li Su laughed with him, but his eyebrows jumped unconsciously.

Cheng Yanjin stared at him and said with a smile: "The court is a dangerous place, it seems that there is no wind and no waves, but it accidentally capsized the boat, starting from Gaozu to lay down the country, when the courtier not only has to be able to do things, but also to stand in line, it will only be useless to do things, stand in the wrong team, damn it and have to die, and you are lazy, but it is in line with the appetite of the monarch and the minister, do not fight or grab, and you are an official like asking for half your life, I can't wait to be a common man for the rest of my life, whether it is the true idea in your heart, at least the right way, It is necessary to have this kind of appearance of not fighting or grabbing, avoiding it, so that the monarchs and ministers of the court can rest assured of you, and do not guard against you. ”

"So Your Majesty's favor for you over the years has been added again and again, and when the country is in trouble, I think of you more and more often, so we will treat you like a parent and nephew, and the owner of the family is short, and I will think of informing you of everything, even when the eldest grandson Wuji's yin old man mentions you, he is also full of praise for you, baby, don't say it, don't think it, you see how big a net you have made up in Chang'an City over the years......"

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and exclaimed: "Amazing! Not to mention anything else, the old man will never be able to achieve what you are doing now at your age, compared with you, the old man and these old goods in Chang'an City have all lived to the belly of a dog, but no matter how powerful you are, there is one thing that you have done wrong......"

Li Su listened to the praise for a long time, and the more he listened, the more he drifted, he found that he was really powerful, and after a few more words, maybe he had gone to the sky and the sun side by side, but when Cheng bit Jin's words, Li Su suddenly woke up and couldn't help but sit up straight.

He is very sober, no matter how much praise he has in front of him, it is just a foreshadowing, and Cheng Yanjin has said so much today, and it is only now that he has turned to the topic.

"The kid is young and ignorant, and there are too many wrong facts he has done, Uncle has praised it, I don't know what the kid has done wrong, and I ask Uncle to give me some reprimand." Li Su lowered his head and said respectfully.

Cheng Yanjin was very satisfied with Li Su's attitude, took a sip of wine from the cup, and said leisurely: "The old man never dared to treat you as an ignorant child, let alone think that you are really 'young and ignorant', your behavior is on par with those old foxes in the court, plus the person is young, with a hairless tender face, there are very few uncles and uncles everywhere, there are very few people who hate you in the court, so the old man really can't figure it out, with your sleek and sophisticated temperament, why is it so incompatible with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Cheng Yanjin showed a puzzled look in his eyes, stared at Li Su's calm face, and sighed: "Baby, you are a smart person, a smart person will not do stupid things, the old man only knows how to fight and kill all his life, and he has always admired smart people, if a smart person in the eyes of others does a stupid thing, he may secretly laugh at this person, but the old man feels that even if a smart person does something stupid, it is intentional, and there must be a more ambitious plan, this kind of scheme, ordinary people can't understand it, the old man is not smart enough, so I want to ask you, Why did you have such a deep vendetta with the crown prince? ”

Li Su showed a confused expression: "Forgive the boy for being stupid, what Uncle Cheng meant by today's words...... The kid is really puzzled, can Uncle make it clearer? ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed: "It's not clear on the face, but it's clear in the heart...... A few years ago, Dongshi beat the prince's subordinate officials, the old man thought that you would be soft, after all, people are the East Palace, almost the emperor, people are the king, you are the minister, you go to make amends and apologize, and do not break your face, but you just stubbornly stuck your neck and couldn't live, the old man felt strange at the time, with your smart temperament, there is no reason to know the benefits, when the prince of the court was offended by you to death, not to mention looking for a way to resolve, and even in the future, the prince took the initiative to befriend you, you did not warm up and refused, and then later, there were incidents between you and the prince, The grudge is getting deeper and deeper, so inexplicable, the two of you are on the same page, the old man has seen it in his eyes all these years, the more he looks at it, the more strange he feels, don't you really leave a way back for yourself? Aren't you afraid that one day he will inherit the throne and be the first to use a knife against you? It doesn't matter if you live or die lightly, where do you put the lives of your whole family? ”

Li Su's waist straightened, and before he could speak, Cheng Yanjin continued: "People in the world who dare to offend the next monarch to death, and who are unwilling to turn enemies into friends, except for you, the old man has really never seen anyone else, these old men have been thinking about your intentions in their spare time, and they have been thinking about it for many years, until recently, the old man gradually figured it out......"

Looking directly into Li Su's eyes, Cheng Yanjin's smile slowly converged, and said slowly: "I don't care about offending the prince, there are only two possibilities, one is that you have an accurate grasp of the trend of the court situation, and many years ago you could predict that this prince would be deposed by His Majesty sooner or later, so you are not afraid of offending him, because a deposed prince is nothing, not only is there nothing to do with you, but you also leave a good impression on the new prince who does not cling to him...... But the old man doesn't believe it, you little baby can see the situation in a few years, I'm afraid that even His Majesty and the eldest grandson Wuji can't do it, right? Then, there is only the second possibility......"

Li Su's eyelids jumped, and the smile on his face became more and more reluctant.

Cheng Yanjin's tone became softer and slower, and he said slowly: "The second possibility...... If Your Majesty doesn't abolish this prince, it will be up to you to plan to abolish him, and recently the East Palace doesn't know which way to offend the immortals, unlucky things happen one after another, boy, don't tell the old man, these unlucky things have nothing to do with you, although the old man is not smart enough, he is not stupid.
