Chapter 295: Who's Fooling Whom?
Seeing that my father asked very solemnly, I had the impression that it was the first time that my father had spoken so solemnly to himself, and it was the first time that he had come to see himself as an adult. Zhu Houxi couldn't help but be a little excited. After all, I have grown up, and my father has recognized himself. But...... But I've grown up, and my father's days are numbered. Alas!
Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and a sense of melancholy arose.
He is very clear about his father's body, and he doesn't dare to behave decadently and cheer up in front of his father. That will inevitably affect my father's mood, and if my father's mood is not good, it will inevitably aggravate his condition.
How Zhu Houxi hopes that his father can live for a few more years, and he will live a carefree and happy life for a few more years under his father's wing.
Daddy's meaningful and very mysterious question, Zhu Houxi naturally didn't respond to it randomly. He used his brain and thought very seriously.
Zhu Houxi was really smart, he just pondered the tea slightly, then smiled at his father and said softly, "Father doesn't want to...... Did you want to get the map of the dragon vein from Qin Li's hand? ”
Zhu Houxi's voice was very low, almost attached to King Xing's ears. Zhu Houxi is definitely very cautious in this matter, and he can only tell his father that other people, if they kill him, they won't say this.
Zhu Houxi just said such a sentence softly, and then shut up. Because he noticed that Daddy's eyebrows were visibly shaking. A pair of very sharp eyes glanced at Zhu Houxi, and it was obvious that he was stopping Zhu Houyu from speaking.
You must know that although this is the Xingwang Mansion, you must always remember that the partition wall has ears, and you must be careful in everything. This is a big deal, a big thing, no matter how you say it. If it really reached Qin Li's ears, what would Qin Li think. If the most important thing really reaches the ears of the emperor today, what will the emperor think?
What's up? The dragon vein is the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty, what do you Zhu Youqi mean? Do you want to take the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty as your own? You are clearly harboring evil intentions. The example of King Ning of Jiangxi is right in front of them, and they can't be careless about this matter.
Although it is said that King Xing is now blatantly recruiting strange people and recruiting all kinds of talents, it was done with the permission of the current emperor Zhu Houzhao and the knowledge of the current queen mother. In other words, it was done within the emperor's control.
Although the Queen Mother allowed and even supported Zhu Youqing to recruit talents, it did not mean that the Queen Mother wanted to support Zhu Youqing's rebellion. Although anyone can understand the Queen Mother's intentions, what to do must be done with the permission of the Queen Mother.
Now the Queen Mother also attaches great importance to the dragon vein, and she is waiting for Qin Li to negotiate with Qin Li after he goes to the capital. Guessing from the actions of the Queen Mother now, the Queen Mother's mind is still on the current emperor Zhu Houzhao. The treasures in this dragon vein still belong to the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.
After a long time, King Xing nodded lightly and said, "Since Xi'er has seen it clearly, let's do it." This dragon vein must not fall into the hands of others, we must grasp this dragon vein in our hands. ”
Obviously, King Xing was thoughtful, and he said it categorically, without the slightest hesitation and foresight.
It's just that in an instant, Zhu Houxi saw a kind of domineering spirit from his father. Although Dad is seriously ill, that kind of domineering is very prominent at this time. It's just that in an instant, Zhu Houxi learned a lot from his father. Yes, to be a man is to be decisive and to have a domineering spirit.
In fact, Zhu Houxi saw it very clearly. Even if the Queen Mother knew that it was her father who was playing the dragon vein, the Queen Mother would not necessarily do anything to her father. After all, the current Ming Kingdom is weak, especially the emperor's current health is worrying. The emperor has no heirs, and it seems that with the emperor's current body, there will be no heirs. Then the future emperor is nothing more than the current princes.
To make it very clear, Daddy is not actually arguing with the emperor by doing this, but competing with several other princes. Since this scramble is going to happen sooner or later, why don't we strike first?
Zhu Houxi was only stunned for a moment, but he was very calm and calm. At this time, two indifferent lights burst out of his eyes, and that kind of light echoed the aura of the king exuded from his father's body. It was a kind of informality of a big husband doing big things.
……
Qin Li, as a guest of King Xing, and as a good friend of the prince's son, Lu Bing naturally did not dare to snub Qin Li. What he arranged for Qin Li was a very gorgeous place. There are eight maids in the premises alone, all of whom are very beautiful women.
In this house, Qin Li instantly had the feeling of being the master of the house and being a master. At this time, Qin Li was lying on the soft couch, and the two maids were beating Qin Li's legs one on the left and one on the right. Qin Li lazily closed his eyes, enjoying himself without distractions.
It must be explained here that Lu Bing's meaning is obvious, he wants to trap Qin Li in Gentle Township, and then let Qin Li cut off the idea of returning to the capital, and follow King Xing with all his heart. Although Lu Bing didn't know the real purpose of King Xing looking for Qin Li to come, what Lu Bing thought was that since King Xing was now summoning all kinds of talents, this Qin Li was obviously a talent, so there was no reason to entertain him and leave him?
I have to say that Lu Bing's idea is good, and it is very effective against ordinary people. You must know that a sixth-grade cloud cavalry captain is a very small official, and his salary is also very low, so he will not enjoy such a gentle and rich life. Ordinary people are confused.
But Qin Li was unmoved by the beauties in front of him, and he was not interested in it at all. You must know that although Qin Li is a person who likes beautiful women, he wants to have a beautiful wife and concubine life. But he is also a very emotional person, a dedicated person.
He already has a little wife Lin Yan'er by his side, and he already has big beauties Yang Qimeng and Murong Bing. Ordinary beauties are really unsightly in Qin Li's eyes. In Qin Li's eyes, these eight beautiful women were servants, just serving themselves to eat and drink.
"Hey, Brother Qin, your little life is really comfortable!" Zhu Houxi shook a folding fan in his hand, dressed in white, and came in from the outside with the appearance of a fairy wind and bones.
Although they call themselves brothers, they are the prince's sons after all, and they are also the future emperors, so Qin Li still waved his hand lightly to let the two maids retreat. Then he got down from the soft couch and said, "Oh, Shizi, it's going to be dark this day, don't you feel sorry for inviting me to lunch, and now come to me for dinner, right?" Hehe! Since we are brothers, Qin Li is not a stingy ghost, but he doesn't care about a meal or two! ”
Qin Li said casually, but Zhu Houxi was a little embarrassed. However, Zhu Houyu is Zhu Houyu after all, and he is also the future emperor anyway, and his mental quality is very strong. His mood was only slightly relaxed, and he calmed down.
Zhu Houxi said, "Brother Qin, sit, hehe!" Since you and I are brothers, naturally don't talk so much etiquette, hehe! ”
After laughing enthusiastically a few times, he took Qin Li's hand, and the two sat on the soft couch together. And the distance between the two is still very close, which makes Qin Li excited for a while.
"Brother Qin, the little brother didn't come to ask you for dinner, he had something important to ask for!" Zhu Houxi stared at Qin Li with a pair of eyes, observing Qin Li's expression at all times and said.
Then Zhu Houxi waved his hand, and the servants in the room quietly retreated, leaving only Qin Li and Zhu Houxi.
Qin Li is such a smart person, seeing that although Zhu Houxi is very enthusiastic in disguise, he doesn't seem to have the slightest flaw. But Qin Li's heart was like a mirror. Hehe! It seems that the true purpose of inviting me to Anlu is about to be revealed.
It's no wonder they can't keep me for nothing.
However, then again, although this Zhu Houyu has a lot of scheming, he is obviously not as righteous as Zhu Houzhao, but it seems that this Zhu Houyu is more suitable to be the emperor.
Qin Li stood up and looked around at the door for a moment, making sure that there was no one around, so he sat back beside Zhu Houxi again, and said with a smile, "If the prince has something to say, there is no need to be polite to me Qin Li!" ”
"That's nature, we're brothers. Since they are brothers, they don't distinguish each other, right? Zhu Houxi asked cheekily.
"Brother Shizi is right!" Qin Li said without hesitation.
"Junior brother heard that Brother Qin found the dragon vein in Di Dao, I don't know if this is true or not?" Zhu Houxi asked lightly.
The expression on Qin Li's face did not change in the slightest, and no matter how carefully Rao is Zhu Houxi observed, he couldn't see Qin Li's inner changes at this time.
In fact, Qin Li's heart was really like water. After several deliberations, Qin Li had already guessed the true purpose of King Xing's invitation to Di Dao at this time. Obviously, the most valuable thing Qin Li has now is Di Dao's dragon vein map.
You know, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Qin Li knew very well that after he got the sheepskin map from the little Japanese Yang Dingtian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the important ministers in the court knew about it.
There are too many treasures in the dragon vein, and no one in Daming can possess them as private alone. Everyone was quietly looking at Qin Li, watching how others bit into this dragon vein.
As a traverser in later generations, Qin Li is very self-aware, and there is a huge treasure hidden in the dragon vein, which is bound to belong to the state. But now that the map is in his own hands, he can use this map to negotiate conditions with the country.
The amount of treasure in the dragon vein that Qin Li could get completely depended on Qin Li's own ability and hard work.
As the owner of the treasure map, Qin Li had actually calculated it in detail a long time ago.
"Don't say dark words in front of people who understand, the map is in my hands, I don't know how much of the treasure King Xing intends to give me?" Qin Li asked lightly.
Qin Li didn't hesitate at all when he asked this, and to Zhu Houxi's ears, it seemed that it was natural for this treasure map to be given to King Xing. There is no doubt that King Xing got the dragon vein.
Zhu Houxi was stunned for a moment. This Qin Li ...... What the hell is going on with this Qin Li? Doesn't he know that my dad is a prince who doesn't do anything? Isn't he afraid that if he gives the map to my father, the court will take your Qin Li's life?
Could it be ...... Could it be that this Qin Li was really fooled by the clever me. He has ironed down on me as a brother? If that's the case, this Qin Li is really easy to deceive. With a mind like his, it won't be so easy to get mixed up in officialdom in the future.
Well, Qin Li agreed to give the map to King Xing, but it made Zhu Houxi have such an opinion about Qin Li.
The corners of Qin Li's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of imperceptible sneer, and said, "What's the matter, Shizi, do you think that what I Qin Li said is not true, or do you think that I Qin Li is insignificant?" Hehe! The prince doesn't know anything, since the first time I Qin Li saw the son, I have a good impression of the son.
The prince of the world looks like a fairy, and he has a lot of intelligence, and he is also a scheming officer. I, Qin Li, naturally have a deep admiration for the son of the world, like the surging river, endlessly.
The map of this dragon vein was supposed to be dedicated to the current emperor. Maybe I, Qin Li, dedicated it to the emperor, the emperor will give me half of the treasure, and he will also give me an official and a knight, and maybe he will give me a second-grade master.
But I, Qin Li, am a person who values friends and feelings. Because I have such a friendship with the prince, even if King Xing gives me a small share and can't give me an official position, I, Qin Li, want to dedicate the map to King Xing in the face of the prince. ”
Qin Li's sycophant slapped over, and Zhu Houxi was immediately dizzy, but after all, he was very smart, and he immediately stabilized his mood and calmed down.
At the same time, Zhu Houxi secretly thought in his heart, fool, this Qin Li seems to be a fool, he is too simple, right?
But the more such people are, the more loyal they are to me, and I can't live up to Qin Li's sincere heart.
Zhu Houxi's brain was spinning rapidly, and Qin Li was quietly pondering Zhu Houxi.
Qin Li secretly thought, Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi, now you will think that I Qin Li is a fool, right? Hehe! How do you know my thoughts, who called you the future emperor, I must slap you from now on. Only when you are well knotted can you enjoy endless glory and wealth in the days to come.
Do you think you fooled me easily? Where would you have thought that I, Qin Li, was deliberately hooked! We really don't know who's fooling whom.
At this time, Zhu Houxi's heart was full of joy, he didn't expect that the task assigned by his father would be completed so easily.
A wave of domineering aura rose in Zhu Houxi's chest. Zhu Houxi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Qin, since Brother Qin is so generous, as long as Brother Qin can hand over the map of the treasure, we will give you thirty percent of the treasure in the Xingwang Mansion." ”
Good dragon knock! This Zhu Houxi is really a fucking loser. is so generous, all of a sudden, thirty percent. If I, Qin Li, really have the treasure of the dragon vein, then I won't become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty in the future and become the target of everyone? You must know that this is a windfall, although people are not rich without windfalls. But this wealth is too easy to come by, but it will invite trouble.
Qin Li smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shizi, what are you talking about?" I, Qin Li, only need one percent of it is enough! ”
Zhu Houxi was stunned at the time, and sighed secretly, what a good brother! (To be continued.) )
