Chapter 489: Accepting Flattery

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

After the discussion, Xie bowed goodbye to Liu Xiu and returned to his temporary residence in Yecheng.

Seeing him come back, Qin Ziwen asked with concern about the content of this discussion. Xie Gong didn't hide anything from Qin Ziwen, and told her about the decision of the meeting.

Hearing that she was going to start a decisive battle with the Qingcalf Army in Dangyin, Qin Ziwen frowned tightly, and muttered for a while, she carefully advised: "When the two armies are fighting, the husband must not be reckless, let alone rush to the front to take the lead. ”

Seeing Xie looking at herself in bewilderment, she continued: "The husband can let King Xiao break the enemy first, and the husband can lead the troops, and then cover up the thief army." ”

She sighed softly and said meaningfully: "In Handan, Fujun and King Xiao have many disputes, and water and fire are incompatible. ”

Xie bowed and smiled, and said: "Although the husband and King Xiao have different political views and different positions, they still understand King Xiao's character, and King Xiao is a gentleman, not a petty man." ”

Liu Xiu's ambition is great, but his virtue and conduct, Xie Gong is very agreeable, he doesn't think that Liu Xiu will use petty means to deal with himself secretly.

Qin Ziwen's face showed a wry smile, feeling that her husband was too naΓ―ve. Now Liu Xiu and Liu Xuan are not fighting for one thing, one person, not one city or one place, but the whole world.

Throughout the ages, who has been chasing the world, who can be worthy of the title of gentleman? Which one is not a belly of calculations? Qin Ziwen said meaningfully: "Husband, don't forget the lessons of Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong. ”

Xie was stunned for a moment, and his face changed.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Miao Zeng is narrow-minded and a villain, watching the thieves in Jizhou rise around, but he refuses to help, and it is really helpless for King Xiao to kill him." ”

Seeing that her husband had now begun to defend Liu Xiu, Qin Ziwen couldn't help but sigh secretly. Liu Xiu is really powerful, and even his husband has been in contact with him for a long time, and he will have a good impression of him.

She asked curiously, "Husband, are you planning to side with King Xiao?" ”

Xie bowed and said, "Of course not! Your Majesty's kindness to her husband is as heavy as a mountain, and the grace of knowing the encounter is unforgettable, how can your husband turn his back on His Majesty and stand on King Xiao's side? ”

Qin Ziwen reminded: "Since the husband doesn't plan to stand on King Xiao's side, and now he keeps speaking for King Xiao, it's very dangerous. ”

Xie bowed and blinked, and said suspiciously: "Do you speak for King Xiao for your husband?" ”

Qin Ziwen said: "There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the earth, there are no two kings in the country, and there are no two respects in the family." Your Majesty and King Xiao, sooner or later there will be a battle! Since the husband is loyal to His Majesty, he should be careful to beware of King Xiao. ”

Xie bowed thoughtfully and said, "I know." ”

It was not the first time that Qin Ziwen reminded Xie to beware of Liu Xiu, and it was best to stay away, but every time she bowed, she didn't take it too seriously.

After getting along for a while, he has a certain understanding of Liu Xiu's personality, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as having both supplies and supplies.

But Xie Bow ignored one point, Liu Xiu is a person who wants to fight for the world, and a righteous man and a gentleman can only assist others, and he will never be able to sit in that supreme position. For this point, Qin Ziwen saw it more thoroughly than Xie bowed.

Yecheng is the county seat of Wei County, and it is also the largest and most prosperous city in Wei County. Especially at present, Yecheng City is almost overcrowded, and there are more homeless people sitting on both sides of the street begging than pedestrians on the street.

Although the rebel army is rampant in Wei County, it has not been rampant to the point of attacking the county seat, relatively speaking, Yecheng is both safe and stable, and the people of Wei County can't live in their hometown, and the first place to migrate is Yecheng.

Chen Kang, the Taishou of Wei County, placed a temporary mansion for Xie Gong and a mansion for Liu Xiu, both of which were of similar specifications and were very close to the county government. On this day, Chen Kang came to visit Liu Xiu.

It stands to reason that Chen Kang has been loyal to Liu Xuan, he is Liu Xuan's person, and he should stay away from Liu Xiucai, but Chen Kang came to visit and greet him from time to time.

In his mind, Liu Xiu can guess some, most of the old fritters in officialdom like Chen Kang are like this, they will not hang on a tree, but ride on the wall, and fall in which way when they see the wind over there.

If they can't feel which side of the wind is strong for a while, they will curry favor with both sides, leaving a way out for their future.

Today, Chen Kang came to visit Liu Xiu, and brought two beauties along the way.

Seeing Liu Xiu, seeing that Zhu You was also there, Chen Kang was busy saluting Zhu You again, and then sat down beside him.

He said to Liu Xiu with a smile on his face: "The mansion prepared by the lower official for King Xiao failed to prepare the next person due to a moment of negligence, which is the negligence of the lower official. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned. Two girls wearing fairy dresses walked in from outside. The two daughters are not very old, and they look like they are just about the age of Lu, fifteen or sixteen years old.

Its facial features, although it still shows the youthfulness of a girl, can be seen that they are all beautiful embryos that are one in a million.

said that she wanted the second daughter to be a maidservant, but in fact, she asked the two of them to be concubines for Liu Xiu.

Zhu You has seen a lot of people like Chen Kang who send beautiful women to Liu Xiu, and he thought that Liu Xiu would refuse as usual, but to his surprise, this time Liu Xiu was unusual.

Liu Xiu smiled at Chen Kang and said, "Chen Taishou is too polite, how can this make Gu embarrassed?" ”

Chen Kang, who is an old fritter in the officialdom, suddenly moved in his heart when he heard this, and was keenly aware that the 'gift' he used made King Xiao very satisfied.

He hurriedly said: "Just two maidservants, it's nothing. King Xiao is leading troops to fight outside, how can there be no one to take care of his daily life, tomorrow, the lower official will send a few maids for King Xiao to send. ”

Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, and said: "Chen Taishou is so gracious, it is really difficult for Gu to refuse, so Gu will accept it." ”

Chen Kangle couldn't keep his mouth shut, he was not afraid that Liu Xiu would be insatiable and ask for him repeatedly, he was afraid that Liu Xiu would not want anything, or he was afraid that he would not be able to figure out Liu Xiu's preferences.

Now that I know that Liu Xiu loves beautiful women, then things will be easier. Wei County is so big, and there are so many beauties, as long as Liu Xiu likes it, he can choose as many as he wants.

Chen Kang's idea is indeed to curry favor with both sides. The reason why he chose to take refuge in Liu Xuan was only because Liu Xuan's original imperial court had entered Chang'an, which seemed to be orthodox.

However, here in Hebei, Liu Xuan's power is minimal, but Liu Xiu's power is constantly growing.

Especially the killing of Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong, this incident scared Chen Kang a lot and made him break out in a cold sweat. It can also be seen through this incident that Liu Xiu's strength in Hebei has reached the point where he can compete with Liu Xuan, or even overpower, if he hugs Liu Xuan again, he will follow in the footsteps of Miao Zeng and the others

。 The significance of Liu Xiu's killing of Miao Zeng and the three of them was by no means limited to controlling Youzhou, but also had the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, which made those Hebei officials who were already loyal to Liu Xuan feel a chill down their spines, and also made them begin to worry about their future fate

Restless.

Chen Kang is a living example.

Finding out Liu Xiu's 'preferences', Chen Kang felt more confident in his heart, and the whole person seemed a lot more relaxed. He said with a smile: "How many days has King Xiao been to Yecheng, have you ever been to Yunxi Pavilion?" ”

Liu Xiu's face was dazed, and he didn't know what kind of place he was talking about.

Chen Kang hurriedly explained happily: "Yunxi Pavilion is the most famous restaurant in Yecheng and even in the entire Wei County, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, as long as you can call the name, you can eat it in Yunxi Pavilion." ”

"Oh?"

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, today at noon, Xia Guan can take King Xiao to taste the delicious taste of Yunxi Pavilion." Chen Kang smiled flatteringly.

Liu Xiu nodded in response and said, "Okay." Then, it's troublesome for Chen Taishou! ”

"King Xiao is really tormented."

When Liu Xiu went back to the room to change clothes, Zhu You followed. Glancing back at Zhu You, Liu Xiu didn't care, took off the robe at home on his body, and put on a brocade robe for going out.

Zhu You asked curiously, "The king likes the two maidservants sent by Chen Kang?" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't like it or not, I didn't look at it carefully." Now if you ask him what the two little girls look like, he probably can't remember them.

Zhu You asked puzzledly: "Since the king doesn't like it very much, why do you want to accept it?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "It's hard to be gracious! Chen Taishou has already sent people here, if I don't accept it, won't I break Chen Taishou's face. ”

Zhu You frowned and said, "Chen Kang is Liu Xuan's person, why should the king care about his face?" ”

Liu Xiu changed his clothes, tied the jade belt, walked up to Zhu You, patted him on the shoulder, and said pointedly: "Today is His Majesty's person, and tomorrow is not necessarily who it is." ”

Zhu You's face changed, and he said in surprise: "What does the king mean, Chen Kang can be wooed over?" ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "At least, it can be used by us." ”

After a pause, he said happily: "Since you want to use others, you have to let people have a bottom in their hearts first!" Accepting the two beauties sent by Chen Kang, Liu Xiu was giving Chen Kang a reassurance.

Zhu You sighed as if he didn't understand, and now he still couldn't figure out where he could use Chen Kang.

Seeing Zhu You's thoughtful look, Liu Xiu laughed, bumped Zhu You with his elbow, and said with a smile: "If you like it, you can take it away." ”

"What?" Zhu You asked blankly.

"The two beauties sent by Chen Taishou!" Liu Xiu smiled very informally.

Zhu You waved his hand again and again and said, "The king can spare me, who am I fighting with, I can't fight with the king!" ”

"I'm giving it to you. It's just that it's not right now, the big war is imminent, and the top priority is to have no distractions. ”

The beauty that someone just sent, Liu Xiu immediately gave it to Zhu You, which is tantamount to openly slapping Chen Kang's face, as if he was deliberately ashamed of others, so it is better to refuse directly and not accept it. In front of people, Liu Xiu is usually a serious and unsmiling superior, but in private, Liu Xiu and Zhu You's relationship can be described as the original form, and the laughter without any worries is nothing more than that of ordinary young people

Distinguish.

Chen Kang did not exaggerate, at that time, Yunxi Pavilion was indeed the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Yecheng and even the entire Wei County. Its background is not simple, it comes from the Yunxi Pavilion of the Jianghu sect.

As a sect of the rivers and lakes, Yunxi Pavilion is known for being well-informed, and it is also very feared by the people in the rivers and lakes. As long as it is a person, he more or less has secrets that he doesn't want to be known, and the power of Yunxi Pavilion is that it can always dig out these secrets that people hide deeply.
