Chapter 168: Potential Allies
Ying Xuan raised the wine utensils, raised his sleeves, and covered up the embarrassment on his face: "Adults are really good at laughing, isn't what Li said the truth?" ā
"Li Gongzi is a smart person, and he can see the current situation very clearly, but there are some things you don't know?"
"I want to hear about it!"
Chen Ping put away his smile and said seriously: "Today's emperor is still young, and all political affairs are from the hands of the Empress Dowager, and the Lu family is really calling for wind and rain in Chang'an. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But it is only in Chang'an, although the people of the Lu family are also kings outside, but compared with the princes surnamed Liu, they are almost negligible.
Therefore, it is unknown which of the Lu family and the Liu family is stronger or weaker! ā
Ying Xuan shook his head and laughed: "Your Excellency didn't tell the truth!" No matter how beautiful the Lu family is now, it is just a flash in the pan after all.
The Liu family was the real ruler of the Han Dynasty.
And what they rely on is not only the princes and kings with the same surname, but also the hearts of the people! ā
"People's hearts?" In Chen Ping's view, the so-called popular will can be driven, as long as there is a seamless strategy.
"Yes, it's the hearts of the people. Since Gaozu implemented the three chapters of the covenant, it has been the desire of the people.
Later successors even adhered to the legacy of Gaozu and gave the people rest lightly.
Li dared to conclude that it would not be long before the Han Dynasty would be as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the previous Great Zhou and become orthodox.
And it will be more stable and influential than Zhou! ā
Although Ying Xuan's exposition is exaggerated, it is not completely blind.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many vassal states, but on the surface, they all had to serve Zhou Tianzi, which shows the influence of Zhou.
The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, and even in the Three Kingdoms period, when the Han Dynasty existed in name only, no one dared to publicly depose the Han Tianzi surnamed Liu.
Even Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, is only the self-proclaimed king of Wei, he has ambitions and the strength to be the emperor, but in the end he is only afraid of the people's hearts.
Chen Ping frowned and thought for a long time, and only after a long time did he sigh with emotion: "Listening to your words, my mouth is suddenly opened, and the son can play between Lu Lu and the princess, and he is really capable!"
Since Gongzi is optimistic about the Liu family, why did he vote under Lu Lumen? ā
Ying Xuan laughed secretly: You still dare to say me, aren't you like this yourself! Power is not constant, and it is not uncommon for one to do the other.
And Ying Xuan knew that it would take at least five or six years for the Liu family to regain power.
"My lord, this is knowingly asking, Li Xuan is a layman, who can give me benefits, I will naturally follow whom, right?"
Chen Ping smiled casually, not believing Ying Xuan's words at all, but he couldn't see Ying Xuan's true purpose.
He knew countless people, and he thought that no one could get away with it under his nose, but he didn't expect that there would be an exception today.
"Li Gongzi turned out to be telling the old man a big reason!"
Ying Xuan was disdainful in his heart: Who has the kung fu to tell you the truth, if it weren't for you Chen Ping deliberately saying those words in front of Lu Lu, Lao Tzu wouldn't be willing to accompany you to talk nonsense?
I see, you did it on purpose, I'm afraid you've been waiting for me for a long time!
If Gongsun Hui is cunning like a fox, then Chen Ping is cunning more like a wolf.
Ying Xuan even dared to conclude that if Chen Ping knew his identity as Qin heir, he would not hesitate to show his hideous fangs.
"Adults are smart people, why do you always have to beat around the bush when you speak, if you don't speak in front of the Hou Ye, Li Xuan will have to come to this trip!"
"It seems that Gongzi Li dislikes the old man!"
Ying Xuan couldn't cry or laugh a little, seeing an old man deliberately pretending to be stupid and cute in front of him, it was as uncomfortable as eating!
Wait, that metaphor doesn't seem appropriate.
"My lord, let's open the skylight and say something, what is the matter with forcing Li to come today?"
Chen Ping beckoned to Yingxuan, motioned for him to step forward, and when Yingxuan came to him, he whispered: "The old man admires the son, how about we cooperate?" ā
"How?"
Chen Ping whispered even more: "Gongzi must be Lu Lu's confidant in the future, if Lu Lu has any trouble, how about telling the old man?" ā
Ying Xuan's face was heavy, he really couldn't understand Chen Ping's thoughts, could it be that this person was really on the side of the Liu family?
It seems unlikely!
Ying Xuan still knows the truth that he can't put his eggs in the same basket, and after a lot of tempering, Chen Ping, who has dealt with many conspiracies, will he not understand?
"What if I don't want to?" Ying Xuan decided to give it a try.
Chen Ping smiled and said: "I'm afraid the contradiction between Gongzi and Xia Jie has reached the point where it can't be reconciled, and after today's hunting, Xia Jie is afraid that his life will not be long in coming!"
But if you let Lu Lu know that someone is deliberately tricking him, what do you think Lu Lu will do? ā
"Don't bluff me here, what does Xia Jie have to do with me whether he lives or dies?" Ying Xuan knew that Chen Ping must have seen the clue, but he could never have evidence, so he dared to be so confident.
This Chen Ping is really hard to deal with!
Chen Ping was still smiling, as if he hadn't heard what Ying Xuan had just said, and his words were still calm and light: "Childe doesn't have to be angry, if Childe is unwilling, the old man will naturally not force it."
Childe might as well go back and think about it? The old man just wanted to exchange news with his son, that's all. Doesn't the prince want to know about the affairs of the court? ā
Ying Xuan finally walked out of Chen's mansion with a sad face, and he neither agreed nor refused to Chen Ping's cooperation.
He got a big news from Chen Ping's mouth, especially for him.
And pro?
Princess Yiyang?
Chen Ping sent Yingxuan away with a smile, and as soon as the other party left, he came to the main hall in a hurry.
Zhou Bo put down the half-gnawed leg of mutton, and said unhappily: "Who are you seeing, it takes so long?" ā
Chen Ping smiled and sat opposite: "Guess? ā
"Could it be that someone is from the palace?"
Chen Ping shook his head.
"Lu Lu is here in person?"
Chen Ping still shook his head.
"I don't guess, don't sell it!" Zhou Bo took a big sip of wine and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looking extremely impatient.
Chen Ping pretended to be mysterious and said: "Li Xuan! ā
Zhou Bo waved his hands and said disdainfully: "Which birdman is this, why have I never heard of it?" ā
Chen Ping laughed, raised his glass and said, "Come, Chen Pingjing has a cup." ā
"Less of this with me!" Zhou Bo clasped his hands, and had no intention of raising a glass at all. "The same thing in front of me that is in the officialdom, if you are like this again, the old man will not come to your house in the future."
"Brother Zhou forgave the sin, it was Chen Ping's mistake. Brother Zhou, did you remember the Sword Dance Workshop? ā
Zhou Bo nodded: "The Sword Dance Workshop naturally remembers that the Mulan Dance there is a must." Hey, I suddenly remembered that the owner of the Sword Dance Workshop seemed to be called Li Xuan......"
"That's him!"
Zhou Bo exclaimed in surprise and praised sincerely: "This person has gained a foothold in Chang'an City in such a short period of time, and he does have some ability, but hasn't he been eye-to-eye with Lu Lu?" ā
Chen Ping stroked his beard and said: "Wouldn't this be better, the more Lu Lu trusts him, the more we will understand Lu Lu's actions in the future!" ā
Only then did Zhou Bo completely understand: "It turns out that you want to buy him and let him be your eyeliner!"
The idea is good, but will he say yes? ā
