Verse 50: The outstretched hand of the Legalist

The banquet of the Zhongtian Cave on the moon also came to an end, and everyone left the Governor's Mansion after bowing to the prince, and countless talented people looked at Li Kui with jealousy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Because Li Kui is the only person who has no son to keep tonight, everyone knows that this means that the son has no intention of wooing Li Kui. In the future, if you don't talk about one step to the sky, at least it will be a smooth progress.

The departure of Juncai and the Xiangjun Qing clan did not make the Governor's Mansion deserted, and the servants were still busy, preparing food and good wine, and headed towards Gongzi Wu's study. The calligraphy of the governor of a county is naturally the top priority, and it can be said that there is no core figure in the non-Gongzi faction, and it is impossible to get within five meters of the study.

Gongzi came to Lu Qiqian and Li Kui without invitation, asked the servants to prepare food and wine, and the three of them talked in the candlelight.

"First of all, congratulations to Li Kui Juncai, after the Dongting banquet tonight, he will definitely be famous in my Great Chu, and even become a representative of the Legalist family." Gongzi said without congratulations, picked up the wine glass and signaled to Li Kui, and then drank it all.

Today's Dongting Banquet was completely a performance by Li Kui alone, even Lu Qiyun, a disciple of Yan Hui Sage, was silent, and did not come out to refute and contend with each other.

"Congratulations" Lu Qiqian simply said hello, drank the wine in his hand, and showed the most basic courtesy.

Li Kui was suddenly flattered and said, "Thank you, Lord Governor and Master Lu, compared to the eloquence of the two, they are just mediocre people who tell the concept of my Legalism, and I really can't afford such praise from Lord Governor." ”

"Why should Li Kui be modest, I think you have the style of a saint, and you will definitely be above the court in the future, and my father will be reused to become a virtuous minister who will go down in history" Gongzi Wu gradually said with a solemn expression, "My Da Chu seems to be strong now, but it is a sheep in wolf's clothing, as Lu Gongzi said, there is a mediocre king, my Da Chu will definitely weaken, and in the end, like Xu Guo, let the satisfaction invade and finally die." ”

The Rong people invaded to, and the former overlord Xu State is now in name only. Xu Guo's office fled from the homeland and almost lost his ancestral Sheji. If it weren't for the help of Chu and Wei, the territory of Xu would have become the land of the Rong clan now.

Gongzi looked at the candle flame without a worried expression, and continued: "Therefore, my Great Chu needs a courtier with faith like Li Kui Juncai to solve problems for my father, reproduce the hegemony of King Chu Zhuang during the period, and become a powerful state that everyone in the world yearns for." ”

Gongzi is useless to use the King of Chuzhuang and Shi Kuo as a metaphor, so that Li Kui can't refuse at all. Although the state of Chu was the cradle of the Legalists, it was under the intentional control of the public office and the Qing family. Although the people of the Legalist family are officials, they are all inconsequential petty officials. And those who really hold the real power are almost all held by the great ministers of the Chu State in the past dynasties.

"Governor Xie's auspicious words, if I, Li Kui, will be ranked in the court in the future, I will definitely do my best for the Great Chu and reproduce the glory of the Chu Zhuang Dynasty," Li Kui thanked from the bottom of his heart.

Childe smiled and said, "Okay, if there is a place that needs the help of this son in the future, Li Kui Juncai will only come to this son." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor is polite," Li Kui saluted and continued, "It's just that Li Kui is a member of the Legalist family, and he will definitely be excluded by the Qing clan after Yingdu, so Li Kui is willing to follow the Governor's side."

Everyone knows Gongzi Wu's ambition, which is the longed-for position of King of Chu. It's just that now the prince is virtuous and has the help of Confucianism, so that the prince can't see any hope.

Even if he served as the governor of Xiangjun for seven years, Gongzi did not accept a lot of depressed and unambitious people, and formed a huge staff organization but still couldn't, they could not give advice to Gongzi, but their vision was only limited to Xiangjun.

Therefore, Li Kui left Yingdu and gave up his official position and came to Xiangjun to participate in the election alone, just to become a person who has no side around Gongzi. The words at the Dongting banquet are naturally the concept of Legalism, and they are also to cater to Gongzi Wu's thoughts. Everyone knew that the prince valued the Confucian rule of benevolence and righteousness, while the prince did not value the rule of law of the Legalists, so the Legalists let Li Kui go to Xiangjun.

Gongzi said in surprise without a face, "The election of my Chu State is an opportunity for the fish to leap into the dragon gate, even if you are a member of the Legalist family, if you enter the Third Academy, you will definitely be ranked in the court in the future, even if it is the Five Great Qing Clans, you will not be able to help you."

Li Kui smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor is clear in his heart, why should he shirk the help of my Dharma family again?"

Childe pondered after hearing nothing, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

"The future ruling secretary is like the ancestor saint." Li Kui said calmly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Childe Wu stared at Li Kui tightly and said, "No problem, but I must see sincerity"

Li Kui smiled and said, "Of course, it must take a few days, and the Governor will see it."

Gongzi frowned and was puzzled, and wanted to ask, but Li Kui picked up the wine glass and said, "Lord Governor, why are you so anxious?"

"Okay, then the boy will wait for the good news" The corners of the child's mouth curled slightly

The two looked at each other and smiled slightly, Li Kui slowly tasted the wine in the glass, and since the purpose had been achieved, his task was completed. But Li Kui had no intention of leaving, and knew in his heart that the next step was the main event, how Gongzi Wu obtained the friendship of the Lu family's true dragon, and his heart was also full of expectations and apprehensions, after all, the Lu family was not like a hundred schools of thought.

The Lu family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has an unimaginable heritage and history, and it can be said that even the most influential Confucianism and Taoism cannot compete with the Lu family. Therefore, Li Kui is looking forward to how Gongzi Wu will persuade the other party to let the Lu family Zhenlong join his camp, in exchange for the help of the Lu family to ascend to the throne.

"Congratulations to the two of you, in the future, the Great Chu will definitely regain the glory of the King of Chu Zhuang and the sage period," Lu Qiqian raised his glass to the two of them.
