Chapter 111: Li Yuanji
Chapter 111: Li Yuanji
There are two cities in Chang'an, the east and the west, but the most prosperous is the west market. Due to the large number of people, Xu Qing had to take the second daughter to get out of the car and walk, but he didn't expect that just after walking a few steps, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of him, and then the people on the road wanted to get out of the way on both sides of the road.
When Xu Qing was still blindfolded, the people in front of him had already made a way, and just as he thought, Xu Qing saw a cavalry coming head-on, without the slightest intention of slowing down. Who dares to go on a rampage in this West Market?
Seeing that she was about to collide, Huang Shimei reacted quickly and pulled Xu Qing aside. Luo Xiuxiu was not slow, and flashed aside. Xu Qing wiped his cold sweat, it seems that there was no pedestrian street in this ancient world. At this time, the team roared by, raising a gust of cold wind. Xu Qing was not hit by the horse, but was shivering by the wind.
couldn't help but scold angrily: "Bold, who is it right away!" Dare to gallop in the West Market? ”
Xu Qing didn't expect anyone to hear this, just to save face, but the people next to him looked at Xu Qing and seemed to see a monster. The official plus three products are not allowed to enter the market, and the official is not a spicy chicken in Chang'an, and those who dare to go on a rampage in the West Market must be much higher than the three officials, and at this time someone dares to scold.
Sure enough, just then, the horse team returned, this time slowly. I saw a person right away, dressed luxuriously, and when I saw Xu Qing, I turned over and went down: "I didn't expect to see Lord Xu in this busy city, it's rare, Lord Xu, do you remember this king?" ”
Xu Qing raised his eyes and found that the person turned out to be Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and he suddenly realized, no wonder this person dared to ignore the rules in the West Market and be arrogant, it turned out to be Li Yuanji, who was the third most powerful among the princes. At the time of the last attack on Liu Heimin, Xu Qing was sent to the command of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, as a grain transport officer. Speaking of which, Xu Qing also had to thank him for helping him recommend the horseshoe, Xu Qing appeared in Li Yuan's eyes again, otherwise, with his little merit in transporting grain, he was still a school captain. Seeing the little people who have to kneel when they see the county order, therefore, now Xu Qinghong's purple hair is also thanks to Li Yuanji. In addition, Li Yuanji was honest and brave at the beginning, which also gave Xu Qing a lot of good impressions. But I almost bumped into him today, and those good feelings have gone.
Xu Qing bowed his hand and said nonchalantly: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the officials are polite."
Li Yuanji didn't notice that Xu Qing's tone was cold, and he still smiled and said: "After the separation from the second brother last time, I haven't seen you kid again, and I recently heard that you have been promoted to the third grade, which is gratifying." Hehe, but, isn't it true that the three-rank official can't enter the market? ”
Xu Qing blushed instead, and hurriedly said, "This matter still needs to be taken care of by King Qi......
Li Yuanji smiled heartily: "Those bird rules, whatever, if something happens, the king will bear it for you, this is not the place to talk," As he spoke, Li Yuanji looked to the side, saw a restaurant, and pulled Xu Qing and said, "Let's go, let's go there to drink!" ”
Xu Qing had no choice but to go with him, Huang Shimei and Luo Xiuxiu followed behind, like a little maid. At this time, Huang Shimei's heart became more and more shocked, no wonder Xu Qing made trouble in Cangzhou, he was not afraid at all, it turned out that his background was so tough. When they saw their grandfather, they all called their eldest brother, and when they saw this prince, they were also called brothers. In this way, those small clans in Cangzhou still need to be afraid?
In the restaurant, in the private room, Li Yuanji looked at Xu Qingdao and said: "This time, the eldest brother led the troops to fight Xue Yantuo, and the second brother went to fight Tuguhun, I heard that you were mobilized with a word." ”
Xu Qing was strange in his heart, he held a meeting in the imperial study that day, Li Yuan said that he would let Li Shimin beat Xue Yantuo, and Li Jiancheng stayed behind, how could he change his hexagram after a day, it was really an emperor's mental trick, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Ahem," Xu Qing coughed dryly twice, and returned: "There is a reason for this matter, when the emperor asked me, I just guessed a few words, but I didn't want to point out the Turkic tricks to the emperor." ”
"Oh? Is it, Lord Xu's random speculation has moved my second brother and eldest brother thousands of miles away, this kind of ability, this king also wants to learn it! Li Yuanji said with a smile, he is a member of Li Jiancheng's group, and Li Jiancheng told him before sending troops that he must watch Xu Qing and not let him be poached by Li Shimin.
"Ashamed, ashamed, frightened, how can you be under the virtue, where can you be worthy of the word "teaching" of His Royal Highness King Qi?" Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Do you still have some miscellaneous things in the West Market, so you won't delay His Royal Highness King Qi's office affairs?"
Du Ruhui instructed him not to make friends with the prince and the king of Qin, and now this King of Qi is overly enthusiastic, and he has a lot of intentions to woo him, and now it is this restaurant, after all, there are many people, and he is afraid that the wall will have ears.
But where would Li Yuanji let Xu Qing leave, and stopped: "Lord Xu, you are the first genius in Chang'an, and there must be no vain under the fame, why don't you give me a few words of truth, and this king will be thanked." ”
Xu Qing saw that King Qi was stopping him, he couldn't beat him, and his status was not as high, so he could only sit down aggrieved. King Qi wants to use this method to show favor to Xu Qing, whether he can recover Xu Qing's heart will not be said first, but as long as Xu Qing points out and accepts thanks, then in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Qing is on the side. Simply, he said what was in his heart: "Okay, since His Royal Highness the King of Qi wants to hear it, then the lower official will say a few words." ”
Xu Qing thought, if you talk about ordinary chicken soup for the soul, it is easy to fall into Li Yuanji's little trap. It's better to go against the temperament of King Qi and make him angry. Thinking of this, Xu Qingzheng said: "King Qi, you and the crown prince and the king of Qin are brothers of the same mother, the prince is diligent in government affairs, and the king of Qin is more important than military affairs, but no matter who you are, you cherish your reputation very much." Recruit talents, make friends, in the hearts of the people and scholars, the king of Qin and the crown prince have a high prestige. But you, King Qi, are not, like today, rampaging in the downtown area, although no one dares to speak, but passers-by look sideways, over time, water droplets wear through the stone! Besides, King Qi's actions are really sorry for the face of the court! ”
When Li Yuanji heard this, he really gasped, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger. Xu Qing's words were really unkind, accusing him of losing the royal face in person, if he were someone else, Li Yuanji would have already flashed a slap. Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said: "Lord Xu, my second brother and eldest brother just cherish fur, I am the prince of Yan, and the phoenix also does not cherish fur, I am afraid that it is not comparable to poultry and birds." ”
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, Li Yuanji's words probably refer to other princes, and Fan Bird is not the son of ordinary people or ministers.
Xu Qing didn't back down at all: "Does King Qi know that a hairless phoenix is not as good as a chicken?" ”
Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, immediately stopped talking, pointed at Xu Qing and said: "Okay, it's really a clever tongue, no wonder the eldest brother and the second brother were beaten by you with a word." Alright, let's go, this king has been taught! ”
