If Zhaoyun knew that Du Baisheng was a powerful minister before, and what he did was no less than Tho Fu, maybe he would not have followed Du Baisheng in a hurry.

But there are very few records in the history of ancient Shu, more or less only the name of the enlightened Lu and the process of its destruction, how can Zhaoyun know that this is a powerful minister? Just looking at his words and deeds, I thought he was a loyal minister who was loyal to the Shu Kingdom.

Du Baisheng's house was very remote, and there was a wide alleyway to the east of the Shu Palace, surrounded by well-decorated buildings, which, according to Zhaoyun's judgment, may have been the residences of officials from the DPRK and China.

I have to say, it's pretty shabby.

But if he knew that these people occupied dozens or even hundreds of acres of land outside the Shu capital, he might not think so.

Du Baisheng's house is one of the larger ones, it is a wide house, three in and three out, Zhaoyun stepped into it, although there is no antique atmosphere, but the house is exquisite and meticulous, even the carvings on the house can also see the gorgeous lines, the workmanship is good, people feel the painstaking efforts of the craftsman.

Immediately afterwards, four maids came up, and they did not speak, but only made a blessing to Du Baisheng. Du Baisheng instructed: "Clean up the front hall, the old man will entertain the guests." ”

The maids responded to the call, and Du Baisheng welcomed Zhaoyun into the hall in front of him very enthusiastically. Crossing the flat and wide front yard, Zhao Yun also looked around, and found that this person's family assets did not seem to be much higher than that of Qiu Luo, so he sat in safely.

The guests and hosts sat down separately, and Du Baisheng shouted downward: "Come on, serve tea!" ”

Zhaoyun also received this gift for the first time, but he wondered where did Qin get the tea leaves? After a while, two small servants stepped forward with plates, and two small bowls were placed on several tables in front of Zhaoyun, one containing a dozen huge and verdant tea leaves, and the other bowl containing cooked broth.

Where has Zhaoyun ever seen this kind of tea? I don't know why, I can only look at the main house stupidly.

Du Baisheng saw that he didn't move the bowl directly, the etiquette was dignified, and his heart was really a big family. Because the host serves tea, the guest cannot eat directly, and can only eat after the host eats first, or the host invites him to eat.

Of course, the exception is that good relations are good.

"When the old man was young, he also went to the city, but he never heard of any family that was the Zhao family...... I don't know where Childe is? ”

Zhaoyun saw that he didn't move the tea, so he could only reply: "After the Xia Nai Du An clan, because the ancestor was the nobleman Zhao of the Chu State, he took the surname Zhao." ”

Zhaoyun didn't bother to explain the complicated things in the back to Du Baisheng, just let him know that he had a relationship with Du Anduan.

"Ahh I have heard the name for a long time, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful! Du Bai became more humble, "Your Excellency's ancestor Du Anzheng has a lot of personal friends with his father, so it seems that you and I should be old friends!" ”

"Friends?"

Du Baisheng felt that his wooing seemed too obvious, and quickly changed his words: "So make friends with old friends...... Friendship at first sight! ”

Zhaoyun laughed awkwardly twice, is this old guy telling a bad joke?

Du Bai is used to dealing with people in the officialdom in his life, and it is inevitable that he is a little nervous when he is on an equal footing with juniors for the first time. After a while, he felt his throat dry, so he poured some stock into the tea leaves, drank the stock down, and took another tea leaf to eat.

Zhaoyun thought that this was the way to eat pre-Qin tea, so he quickly ate it decently.

There was tea before the Han Dynasty, but it was more like a spicy strip as a snack. At that time, most people ate tea in their spare time, or made tea porridge into tea porridge, which was called "porridge tea method" in ancient times, in short, no one made tea.

They treat tea as a dish, or as medicine, but not as a drink.

Relieving his nervousness, Du Baisheng asked again: "Where is Childe going?" What is the intention? ”

Zhaoyun did not hide it, and said: "There has been an outbreak of plague in the past few days, and I will go out of Qinchuan to collect medicine in order to cure the disease." ”

Du Baisheng knew about the plague, and some time ago, he also ordered people to block the communication between the plague and other places. Seeing that this child was going to go out of Qinchuan alone to collect medicine, his eyes rolled and he asked, "Alone, is it enough?" ”

"It's enough for the patriarch to send the surplus."

Du Baisheng nodded: "I went out of Sichuan alone at a young age, and my courage is not small!" The old man was very pleased, if your ancestors knew, they should also smile at Jiuquan. ”

Du Weng said heavily...... It's just that I don't know what kind of official position Du Weng used to have, and why he offended Tho Fu and ended up like this? ”

Du Baisheng seemed to have been waiting for Zhaoyun to ask for a long time, sighed, and looked embarrassed: "The old man is the secretary of the Shu Kingdom, although he is not highly respected, but he is also quite respected by the king in the court and the opposition!" A few years ago, Tho Fu Lao'er somehow suddenly overthrew Shangqing Du Hongchuan, and the authority was ......"

"The old man is old and doesn't want to get involved in the political whirlpool, but this old guy is too much! not only deceived the subordinates, but also indulged his subordinates to forcibly seize the land and bribes. The old man couldn't see it, and said a few words to him, who knew that he would be impeached in less than two days, and the enlightened king remembered that the old man was old, and only cut my official position, so that I am now idle at home, and I can only watch the old thief do evil, to no avail! ”

Naturally, he lied.

In order to make Zhaoyun sympathetic and willing to do things for him.

Sure enough, Zhaoyun was moved when he heard it, there have been countless loyal ministers who have been killed by traitors since ancient times, every time Zhaoyun sees this, he will sigh to the sky, and now facing Du Baisheng, a sympathetic thought naturally rises slowly.

"Du Weng is really temperamental! If the kid is in the court, he will definitely be willing to share his worries for Du Weng! ”

Du Baisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that just a few words would make this kid believe it!

Sure enough, at a young age, it's easy to be fooled!

Zhaoyun didn't know that he had been deceived, anyway, he had a little sympathy; But he suddenly noticed that this old man's surname was Du, Du Nai was the surname of the royal family, and in Shu, there were only two ancestors surnamed Du, one was Du Yu, and the other was Du Ling.

Du Yu is the king of ancient Shu, also known as Emperor Wang; And Du Ling is a native of Chu, also known as Turtle Ling. Du Ling was made king by Du Yuchan because of his merit in controlling the water, and another enlightened dynasty was established, but in fact, guess also knew that most of it was Du Ling who forced the palace, so that the elderly Du Yu had to give up the throne.

Neither of these two is a descendant, nor is it a simple character.

"Only then did I react, Du Weng's surname is Du, which can be ...... with today's enlightened kings."

Du Baisheng nodded again and again: "The enlightened king is my grandson, but he is also the kind with a very light blood relative. ”

He lied again.

He has no blood relationship with Kaiming Lu or Du Hongchuan, and his ancestor is actually Du Yu......

Zhaoyun couldn't help shaking his head, and said unscrupulously: "It seems that the current king is also mediocre and incompetent...... Otherwise, how would he let the ministers be in charge? ”

Du Baisheng also echoed: "This king is the son of the first emperor, young and intelligent, how do you know that this is what he looks like today?" In the long run, my Shu Kingdom will definitely fall! ”

Zhaoyun didn't deny it, because the Shu Kingdom did perish at the hands of that guy.

Seeing Zhaoyun immersed in deep thought, Du Baisheng thought that this young man was worried about the country and the people, and couldn't help but be happy. If everything goes according to his wishes, his plan will be done!

What is he going to do?

He will destroy this nation and make himself king!

After he was Du Yu, Du Yu was forced to abdicate by Du Ling, and as a descendant, he was naturally unwilling. As the teacher of the enlightened Lu, he has great power, and he thought that in a few years, the people would be able to follow the trend and abolish the king and stand on his own.

Even after being deposed at home, he still did not forget this ambition in his heart.

What he asked for was to borrow foreign troops to abolish the king of Shu, and then establish himself or set up his son.

This was very common in the Spring and Autumn period.

But he is in Shu all the year round, but he doesn't know that the Spring and Autumn Period has passed, and the Warring States are in chaos; The current trend is great unification, and whoever attacks will annex Shu.

He was naïve, and he still thought that the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period was still there.

All in all, at this moment of crisis, Zhaoyun appeared in front of him.

All the big plans are on this young man! I just disguised it so well, there must be nothing wrong!

Du Baisheng continued to knock on the side: "In the long run, my Great Shu will be destroyed, and it will be very unfavorable to my Shu people!" …… Alas! I'm white, what can I do? ”

Zhaoyun understands that this old guy is testing himself!

However, he was very curious, how did this old "loyal minister" plan to change the fact that Shu was about to fall?

"Is there anything you want the kid to do? But it doesn't hurt to say it! Not to mention that the kid respects Du Weng as a person, since Du Weng's father has a friendship with his ancestors, the kid must not stand idly by! ”

He said a lot of nice things, but Zhaoyun was not loyal to this old guy, if it was a hard-working job, he didn't plan to die for this old guy who nodded his head.

Du Baisheng's face was anxious, but his heart had already blossomed; He was old, there was no trustworthy person in the family, and his son had been sent to another place by the old fellow, so that even if he wanted to go to other countries to deliver letters, he would not be able to do so.

"Don't worry, it's just a gesture, since the prince intends to go out of Qinchuan, then please take my letter to the Qin country, and send it to the king of Qin, the old man will definitely have a heavy gift to thank you!"

Hearing this, Zhaoyun's face was not shocked, but there were already monstrous waves in his heart, what could this old guy do if he asked himself to send a letter to King Qin?

It can't be greeting someone else's ancestors, right?

The only possibility is the Spring and Autumn convention, borrowing troops to rejuvenate the country.

Qin Mugong has a history of supporting Chong'er, and this old guy thinks that today's Qin Huiwen Wang Yingsi is a figure like his ancestors.

In Zhaoyun's opinion, this move is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house!

What's more, in terms of various interests, this point is not good for Zhaoyun! If it really happens, although he has the ability to guide the way, his official path is limited, and he will definitely not be valued by King Qin; What he wants is to make a name for himself in Shu, so that the King of Qin has to face him squarely!

At that time, he was only useful to the king of a country, and he would be reused!

Maybe...... This old guy gave him a good opportunity......

A great opportunity to show off in front of King Qin!
