Chapter 986: Secret Talk about King Lu's Mansion
"Wait~"
Although Guo Ye was holding a wine cup in his hand, he did not clink glasses with King Lu Yuanqing, but raised his hand to block it: "You can get His Royal Highness King Lu to set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, Guo Ye is flattered." However, Guo is not a fool, we don't talk darkly, His Royal Highness King Lu came to me today is not as simple as simply drinking a glass of water and wine and chatting, otherwise it would not be so secretive. King Lu, let's open the skylight and say something bright, what is the matter with inviting me here today, what is the important thing in the mouth of King Daoxiao, and I hope you can explain one or two doubts for me. ”
"Haha, it is said that Pingyang Jungong is rough and bold, according to this king's opinion, this is completely wrong, in this king's opinion, Guo Jungong is delicate and rough on the outside and beautiful on the inside."
King Lu continued to hold the wine glass and continued to invite: "Guo Jungong, as the so-called once raw and twice ripe, why don't we drink this cup together and then talk about other things?" As soon as they met, they went straight to the point, which inevitably seemed that this king didn't know how to be hospitable, yes or no? ”
Guo Ye saw that King Lu was so resolute, so he could only give up, but he was still clear, and made his position very clear: "Okay, then Guo will use this glass of water and wine to toast His Royal Highness King Lu with a glass, and the right is to thank King Lu for his kindness when Guo entered the prison of Dali Temple, King Lu sent Langzhong to treat my injuries and stop bleeding." Come, His Royal Highness King Lu, I salute you, cheers! “
"Uh......"
King Lu's face was slightly stunned, and he sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this Guo Ye really can't be splashed with water, and it is as slippery as a loach. However, he was not reluctant, he had a light drink with Guo Ye, and then said with a smile: "It was just a small helping hand, and it was not a life-saving grace, so you can't forget it, Lord Guo." Okay, cheers, full drink! ”
Zizizi......
The two of them brought the cup to their lips together, drank it, and drank it to the end.
After drinking, the two sat down one after another, and King Lu wanted to reach out to pour wine for Guo Ye, but Guo Ye stopped him, shook his head lightly and said, "His Royal Highness King Lu, let's get down to business." Otherwise, there would be no taste at all for the table full of delicacies and the wine in the pot. ”
King Lu laughed, had to retract his hand, and frequently bowed his head in praise.
Then, King Lu stared at Guo Ye's eyes and asked, "I don't know what Lord Guo thinks of Prince Chengqian?" ”
"Prince Chengqian?"
Guo Ye subconsciously tightened his heart, and then replied expressionlessly: "Wasn't he deposed by the emperor?" ”
King Lu laughed twice, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this king said the wrong thing." I wonder what Lord Guo thinks of my nephew Chengqian? ”
Guo Ye replied with ease: "I have nothing to do with the former prince, let alone talk about it, so I really can't answer this question from His Royal Highness King Lu." ”
Little fox!
King Lu scolded secretly, and then asked with a smile: "If this king and the ministers of the court advise the emperor to re-establish Chengqian as the crown prince, I don't know what the attitude of the Pingyang County Guild is?" ”
Re-establish Li Chengqian as the crown prince?
Of course, Guo Ye is a hundred unwilling, this kid is not only mediocre in talent, but also lacking in virtue, where can he continue to be a prince? If this kid is allowed to inherit the throne of His Majesty Li Er in the future, then why not bring the high-speed carriage of the Tang Empire into the ditch?
Thinking of this, he was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but suddenly his brain suddenly calmed down again, and a doubt appeared in his heart, Li Yuanqing, King of Lu, and Li Yuanfang, King of Daoxiao, what tricks are they playing? Li Chengqian is the biological son of His Majesty Li Er, why are these elders who are uncles so keen to restore him? And who are the ministers of the court and the central government in the mouth of King Lu?
Could it be that these people want to make a name for themselves behind His Majesty Li Er's back?
Immediately, he dispelled his thoughts of vetoing, but chuckled: "If it is a charcoal in the snow, then Guo has to think about one or two; But if it is the icing on the cake, Guo Ye will naturally be an adult. It's just that Guo is very curious, why did His Royal Highness King Lu suddenly discuss this matter with me. It stands to reason that you should go to the eldest grandson Wuji to discuss. If you think about it, the eldest grandson has a respected status in the court, and it is not a problem to call for wind and rain, and he is also the maternal uncle of His Royal Highness Chengqian. I think that for the re-establishment of His Royal Highness Chengqian as my prince of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson will definitely bring more than half of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to raise their hands in favor. ”
King Lu suddenly had a mysterious look on his face, and said: "Lord Eldest Sun naturally doesn't have to worry about Lord Guo here, this king just wants to know, will you be the Duke of Pingyang County, Guo Ye?" ”
Guo Ye listened to King Lu's words, and said secretly, could it be that there is also the figure of the eldest grandson Wuji behind this, and the tentacles of the Tiance Mansion have also reached in, and they are mixed with the princes of King Lu?
Why does King Lu care so much about his attitude?
Guo Ye knows very well in his heart that although he is now a smash hit with His Majesty Li Er, he has not yet reached the influence of subverting the decision of His Majesty Li Er to establish a prince.
Too many doubts filled his heart, which made Guo Ye hesitate and had no idea for a while.
Li Yuanqing, King of Lu...... Daoxiao King Li Yuanfang...... King Jing Li Yuanxiang...... And those so-called ministers of the DPRK and China...... The deposed prince Li Chengqian...... What kind of inner connection are these people hiding? Why would King Lu, the prince of the concubine, care about the position of a prince who is now the heir of the saint.
"Master Guo, haven't you thought about it yet?"
King Lu's urging this time no longer had the tone of discussion just now, on the contrary, it had a bit of an aggressive taste.
After such a while, Guo Ye was stunned and couldn't figure out the internal connections, and he didn't have a clue in his heart.
Seeing that King Lu tore off that hypocritical and polite face, and now he is in King Lu's mansion, what if he says he doesn't agree, what should this grandson dog do if he jumps off the wall in a hurry?
So, he had to deliberately divert the topic, pretending to be greedy and asked: "King Lu, His Royal Highness Chengqian was deposed by the emperor's personal decree, and now you want me and you to re-establish His Royal Highness Chengqian as the crown prince, which will obviously cause the emperor's displeasure and even disgust." This kind of thing is risky. So I ask you, what good do I get by taking the risk of doing this with you? As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat some grass, right? ”
"Benefits?"
King Lu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in surprise: "So, Lord Guo promised this king?" ”
"Don't!"
Guo Ye raised his hand and interrupted: "It's still the same sentence, I have to hear how the remuneration is." What benefits can you, His Royal Highness King Lu, promise me Guo Ye? Hehe, now that the prince has been reinstated, even if he reinstates, he may not be able to give me any big benefits, right? The crown prince, always the crown prince. In this world, the emperor has the final say. Are you right? ”
"Haha, Lord Guo is too underestimated by this king."
Seeing that Guo Ye was a little disdainful, King Lu immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you really think that this king is just to restore the crown prince?" Reinstating the crown prince is only the first step, believe it or not, what this king can give you is something that the current saint can't give you in his lifetime. And ......"
"Yuanqing!"
An old but majestic voice suddenly came in from outside the pavilion, and immediately interrupted King Lu's bold words.
Guo Ye hadn't seen anyone yet, but he was horrified, because there were only a few people in the world who could call King Lu Yuanqing.
The old voice...... Could it be him?
Guo Ye immediately followed the voice and turned his head to look, only to see Li Yuanxiang, the king of Jing, and Li Yuanfang, the king of filial piety, with their heads down, supporting an old man on the left and right, with a humble and respectful attitude.
This old man was gray-haired and wearing the robe of a wealthy gentleman in the city on weekdays, but Guo Ye recognized who he was.
It could be him......
In this world, who can call King Lu a Yuanqing, and can make King Jing and King Daoxiao like grandsons, who else can support and serve?
It was the Emperor Taishang...... Li Yuan!!
