Chapter 781: Broken Wrist Scheme
Speaking of which, whether Hou Junji can get Li Shimin's pardon or not, and whether he can lead the troops to the Western Regions, actually has nothing to do with Li Su's money, and it is none of his business at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just Li Subu's bureau, which includes Hou Junji.
With Li Su's popularity in Chang'an City now, almost all of those veterans in the army are good friends with him, and he also has an uncle whose status in the army is second only to the god of war Li Jing, so many generals who have a good relationship, but Li Su chose Hou Junji.
The reason for this is very simple, Hou Junji is the most suitable.
has had the grace of saving his life, and more than once, at the same time, Hou Junji dared to create Li Shimin's rebellion, and he was also a bold and ruthless character, and in the end, Li Su also took the initiative to solve the crisis of the Hou family......
Piece by piece, there are more and more intersections between Li Su and Hou Junji, and the involvement is getting deeper and deeper, not to mention that there are various factors such as interests, favors, and kindness, looking at the many veterans in Chang'an City, there are almost no friends with Li Su to this extent, even his uncle Li Ji has not reached this point.
So Li Su decided to pull Hou Junji again, just as he told Xu Mingzhu that this time to solve the crisis of the Hou family, there are factors of interest mixed in it, Li Su is not afraid to admit it calmly, even in front of Hou Junji, he dares to say so.
People always don't like to be used, as soon as they talk about being used, they are full of resentment, and they can't wait to get rid of it quickly, in fact, if the thinking is not so limited, think about it from another angle, it is not a bad thing to be used, at least they have the capital to be used by others, they must be particularly outstanding in some aspect of themselves, beyond the world, they will be looked at by people with a heart, and then used, in this way, being used by others is actually a kind of implicit appreciation for themselves.
In Li Su's eyes, Hou Junji is such a person, he has the value of being used, so Li Su wants to use him, of course, he must also be moral, even if he uses others, he must make it clear in person, if he can take what he needs, it is no longer to use, but to cooperate, Li Su can also achieve his own goals, but this statement sounds much more comfortable.
Hou Jie is no different from most of the gentlemen, his words and deeds are more arrogant, and his brain is relatively simple, so it is no problem for him to run rampant in the countryside to bully men and women, it is a good job, so that he can worry about the country and the people, and he will not be able to think about the people.
Hearing that his father was able to get the emperor's pardon and return to his old job of leading troops to fight, Hou Jie's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression was extremely excited.
"If my father can be pardoned and returned to Beijing, the Hou family will remember the great kindness of his brother, and this kindness will be passed on from generation to generation and will never be forgotten!"
Li Su glanced at him obliquely: "If your father can't get the pardon, won't the Hou family remember my great kindness?" ”
Hou Jie's expression was stunned, his face was stunned, and he hurriedly gave up his hand to explain, but was stopped by Li Su waving his hand.
"En, I never care, it doesn't matter if the Hou family doesn't remember, I really don't want to owe me too much, wait for your father to return to Chang'an, let him convert the kindness into a silver cake for me, this way of repaying is exactly what I want, don't think that repaying the favor with a silver cake is insulting me, I'm really not afraid of being insulted, I'm afraid that your insult is not strong enough......"
Hou Jie was dumbfounded: "............"
Li Su coughed twice, his old face was a little red, and he couldn't help but get excited when he mentioned money, he couldn't control his mouth when he was excited, there was no one on his mouth, he dared to say anything, and the perfect character of the lonely and cold personality collapsed instantly......
"Forget what I just said, let's get back to the main topic......" Li Su patted Hou Jie's shoulder and said, "Don't you have any questions to ask me?" ”
"Yes." Hou Jie returned to Shendao.
"You ask."
"Brother Zizheng just said that he could help my father get an amnesty order to return to Beijing, and he also said that to make a layout, he needs the cooperation of the Hou family. I make a statement on behalf of my mother, and the Hou family is determined to die, even if it takes a few lives of the children of my clan! ”
Hou Jie said with a fierce expression, obviously the Hou family's experience in the past year made him almost blacken, the harder he fell from a height, the more he understood the importance of power, Hou Jie as the son of the Hou family, the feeling was naturally more profound, in order to let Li Shimin pardon Hou Junji, the Hou family really planned to do whatever it takes.
Li Su shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that serious, my idea, if you let your Hou family still take human life, in the end, do I have favor or hatred for your Hou family?" ”
Hou Jie hurriedly said: "Brother Zizheng really doesn't have to scruples, as long as my father can come back, it doesn't matter how many people the Hou family sacrifices, including me, I can see it clearly this year, if there is no my father, the Hou family is an ant that people can pinch to death casually, the whole family is living a precarious life, my Hou family has enough of this kind of day, if a few people can be sacrificed in exchange for the Hou family to continue the scenery, the Hou family can continue to grow and become stronger and stronger......"
The words were straightforward, and there was a heroic spirit that would never return, but Li Su still frowned, and a feeling of discomfort appeared in his heart.
The struggle between the magnates is fierce and cruel, the magnates can sacrifice the children of the clan at any time for the sake of the strength of the family, this is for the sake of the overall situation, the selected children have the consciousness of dedication, and even the glorious honor, after the death of the tablet will be offered high in the ancestral hall of the clan, so that future generations can praise and praise......
Li Su understands the truth, but he just feels uncomfortable.
Feeling uncomfortable in his heart, Li Su's expression inevitably became a little cold.
Hou Jie didn't realize it, and still said excitedly: "Please also ask Brother Zizheng to instruct, how the Hou family should cooperate with you, the foolish brother will go to the soup!" ”
Li Su suddenly felt a little excited, and he didn't even have a taste for drinking, and said lazily when he heard the words: "The cooperation is very simple, choose a junior from your Hou family to go out, find someone to be more lively, and arrange someone to break his legs...... By the way, the so-called selection of people is better than hitting people, just you, well, Hou Junji's eldest son, the heir of the Hou family in the future, the weight is enough, and the size and length are just right......"
"Huh?" Hou Jie's face changed, sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, and he stammered: "Son, Brother Zizheng...... Don't make a fuss! ”
"Who's messing with you? I don't know anyone else in the Hou family, only you, and I was deeply moved by your heroic appearance of not hesitating to go to the sad song for the sake of the family just now, if you don't fulfill you, it will be a waste of your blood dedicated to the Hou family, oops, a good story, do you know who we are like now? Think about it, think about it......"
Hou Jie's face had turned pale, and he said, "Like ...... Like whom? ”
Li Su sighed and said, "It's like Prince Yan and Jing Ke during the Warring States Period!" One invited someone to die, and the other took the initiative to ask to die, tsk, thousands of years later, maybe the two of us will be a legendary story through the ages......"
With a plop, Hou Jie's face was colorless and slumped to the ground, and the sweat on his face flowed more and more.
"Son, Brother Zizheng...... Is there any other option? After all, the foolish brother is the son of the Hou family......" Hou Jie said with a sad face.
Li Su smiled and said, "Of course there are other choices......
Hou Jie immediately raised his head and looked at him with hope.
"Didn't I say I was going to break my leg just now?"
Hou Jie nodded wildly, his eyes flashing and shining.
"Silly boy, you can choose to break your left leg or your right leg,...... If you were a little more generous and willing to break your third leg, tsk! My layout can get twice the result with half the effort, and the chances of your father's success in returning to Beijing are even higher......" Li Su glanced at him, and said slowly: "I personally think that you already have a son anyway, and there are several, and after the Hou family room is already in place, the usefulness of your third leg seems to be ......"
Before he finished speaking, Hou Jie bounced up from the ground as if he had been bitten by a dog, and said urgently with a white face: "Left leg!" I choose the left leg! ”
Li Su sighed, and Hou Jie was sad and indignant to find that Li Su seemed to be a little ...... about his choice Disappointed?
"Brother Zizheng, I admit to breaking my leg......" Hou Jie gritted his teeth, looked tragic, and said, "Then what?" What to do then? ”
Li Su smiled and smiled incomprehensibly: "Then ...... It's time to invite Aunt Hou to appear. ”
***********************************************************************
Liu Ping, Marquis of Anping, was transferred to Chang'an and served as a waiter in the Ministry of Officials, for the court, this is just a very ordinary official transfer, in the huge court, some people enter and some people leave, some people are inexplicably degraded, and some people are confused and promoted.
In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Ping should belong to the spring breeze and horseshoe disease recently, after all, from that remote Liangzhou transferred to the Tang Dynasty's prosperous capital power center to serve, although it belongs to the flat tune, but the status and gold content are not the same as Liangzhou, people in Chang'an, in the center of power, want to create a chance for themselves to rise to the top is much easier than in Liangzhou, especially Liu Ping is also on the thigh of the first powerful minister of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji, there are connections, backstage opportunities, Liu Ping's future is not only good, The road is simply paved with gold bricks.
Of course, outsiders' opinions are not credible, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Liu Ping has infinite scenery in the eyes of outsiders, only Liu Ping himself knows that he is suffering now.
Originally, after being transferred to Chang'an, Liu Ping was indeed very proud, until his uncompetitive dog beat Hou Jie on the street, but was accidentally encountered by Li Su, Liu Ping knew that his proud days were almost over.
What kind of person is Li Su, Liu Ping has heard of it as early as when he served in Liangzhou, the young man became famous, the world knows, these years have successively laid out the merits for the Tang Dynasty, even Liu Ping, who is barely regarded as the founder of the country, is secretly surprised, the young man was knighted, won the holy favor, and the temper is not small, not only mixed with a "Chang'an little bastard" gangster, even when he is today, he dares to scare, a "A Fang Gong Fu" is so angry that His Majesty is smoking, and he is very angry and only punished him for squatting in Dali Temple for a few days......
With so many deeds, he can almost be called a "legend", and Liu Ping's son who wants to die has offended him......
To be honest, Liu Ping had the heart to kill his relatives at that time.
Although he hugged the thigh of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Su is not easy to provoke, especially from his behavior towards Liu Xian, Li Su is the same as the rumors in the outside world, he is indeed a bit of a bastard, and even said unabashedly that he is a person who doesn't like to be reasonable, his mood depends on his mood, he has a seizure when he says that he has a seizure, and he never cares about the consequences.
It's not surprising to think about it, His Majesty the Emperor is noble enough, right? People stood in the court, and read out the "A Fang Gong Fu" in front of the civil and military officials, - even the emperor is not afraid, will he be afraid of the son of a county marquis?
…………
With a full stomach full of apprehension, today Liu Ping took a prayer post to the door of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Visiting the most powerful prime minister of the dynasty, Liu Ping naturally can't be empty-handed, but he can't swagger in front of the eldest grandson's house in broad daylight with a few carts of gifts, if he really lacks heart, the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't mind throwing him into Dali Temple and asking him for the crime of bribing the courtiers.
In fact, when Liu Ping came to the door, he only brought a lengthy gift list in his sleeve, and the gift list would not be handed directly to the eldest grandson Wuji, so Liu Ping first handed the gift list to the housekeeper of the eldest grandson's mansion after entering the door, and the housekeeper understood, quickly put the gift list into his sleeve, and then invited Liu Ping into the front hall very enthusiastically.
Kneeling in the front hall and waiting for half an hour, the eldest grandson Wuji came belatedly. I don't know if it's really because of busy state affairs, or deliberately holding the prime minister's shelf, Liu Ping didn't dare to have a temper, seeing the eldest grandson Wuji turn out of the screen behind the front hall, Liu Ping hurriedly straightened up and bowed to the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled faintly at Liu Ping, said hello, and then asked Liu Ping to sit down.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting about the court situation and state affairs, and Liu Ping finally couldn't help it and brought the topic to business.
"Xiangye, a few days ago, the subordinate dog inadvertently offended the prince of Jingyang County, and the subordinate was really uneasy about this matter......
The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at him and lowered his eyelids, and said lightly: "What is the anxiety of Liu Xianhou?" Didn't you come to the door to make amends? Li Su also accepted your apology, right? ”
Liu Ping smiled bitterly: "The apology is an apology, and Li Xiangong also said that he had revealed the matter, but ...... The next official made another mistake on the day of the apology. ”
Eldest Sun Wuji frowned: "What mistake did you make again?" ”
Liu Ping sighed: "When Xia Guan came to the door to apologize, he still thought that Li County Gong's young knighthood was a blessing, and he had a contempt in his heart, so he didn't bring my troublesome dog when he apologized, and the grievances between Xia Guan and the Hou family were not mentioned, just to make amends for the conflict between the dog and Li County Gong, and then Xia Guan went out, and gradually realized that something was wrong, thinking about Li County Gong's cold expression at that time, I am afraid that I was already unhappy in my heart, Xia Guan made amends this time, I am afraid that he will be offended even more......"
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at it lightly, and suddenly sneered: "Do you think Li Su's knighthood is a blessing?" Could it be that in your heart, Li Su is a courtier who only knows how to figure out the holy will and please His Majesty? Liu Xianhou, you can be regarded as the founder of the country, just such a little eyesight, the old man really doubts how you got to this status......"
