Chapter 2016: The Flood (Part II)

Xu Jingzong's mansion was pompous again, and after four or five hundred people were placed in a courtyard, there was no room for the prince's full guard of honor.

He and Guo Ye glanced at each other, and they both knew that today's fight could not be fought. They immediately glanced at each other and sent their men away. Then together with Yu Chigong, he took Sun Zishan, Lei Shuyao, Xu Ang and others to greet the crown prince Li Zhi.

Li Zhi saw Guo Ye from afar, and immediately bowed and said, "The teacher is above, and the disciple Li Zhi is polite." ”

Guo Ye came to the front and said politely: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

Li Zhi stood up, and Wei Chigong and Xu Jingzong led everyone to bow and salute: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

"Excuse me, flat."

"Xie Chitose."

Everyone stood up and introduced the prince into the living room, Li Zhi bowed slightly, and said, "Teacher, please take a seat." ”

"It's fine."

Immediately, Guo Ye sat first, and Li Zhi sat later. The two sat on the main seat, and Wei Chigong and Xu Jingzong sat sideways.

As for Sun Zishan, Lei Shuyao, Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou and others brought by Li Zhi, they can only stand.

It seems that in this scene, Lei Shuyao really regretted that the field was green! She no longer understands the rules of the imperial court, and she also knows what the status of the prince is.

She thought to herself, didn't she say that King Guo Ye of Qin had lost power? Why is the prince still respectful to him? Don't say that the prince is acting on the spot, whether it is true or false, can't I see that my surname is Lei?

Could it be that what Xu Ang said before was lying to me? King Qin did not lose power, but was only temporarily dormant?

Oops, that's a problem! I'm smart, how did I get deceived by the gentlemen in Chang'an City?

How good is that?

I made a statement to Wei Chigong just now, and now I regret it, is it too late?

Xu Jingzong didn't know Lei Shuyao's careful thoughts. However, he instinctively felt that the crown prince had such respect for Guo Ye and that it was not good for him.

Immediately, he coughed lightly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Xu Shangshu has something to say, please speak face to face."

"You are the crown prince, and you are a half-king. No matter how noble the status of King Qin is, he is also a courtier. Is there any reason why a king should bow before his ministers? ”

"That's not the case." Li Zhi shook his head and said, "King Qin is the crown prince and concubine of his father. In other words, it is the king's teacher, how can the disciple not bow first when he sees the teacher? ”

"Eh, the prince's words are wrong......"

Xu Jingzong still had to make a long speech, Li Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "So that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu will know that the etiquette for Xiao Wang to meet the prince and the prince is determined by his father." ”

A lore!

Xu Jingzong dared to trouble His Majesty Li Er, and immediately changed his words: "Since it is Your Majesty's intention, of course Weichen does not dare to say anything. Respect the teacher, good! Good! Good! Just ......"

"How?"

"If Weichen is not mistaken, King Qin has been deprived of the position of crown prince and concubine. It's not appropriate for you to be so respectful to him now, right? ”

"How is it not suitable? Although King Qin is no longer the crown prince and the prince, Xu Shangshu is not a teacher for one day and a father for life? Even if the prince is a king, he cannot follow ordinary folk etiquette. A teacher for a day, a teacher for life, this should always be done, right? ”

"Eh, the prince's words are wrong......"

Xu Jingzong was able to ascend to the throne because of neither military exploits nor soothing the people, but because of his profound knowledge and proficiency in classics. With a single stroke of his mind, he could come up with dozens of reasons to refute Li Zhi's words.

However, Li Zhi gambled him back with a word, saying, "This is also what my father meant." ”

Lore again! Xu Jingzong hurriedly swallowed the words that were about to be said back into his stomach.

He said, "Ugh...... Of course, of course. Your Majesty's arrangement, of course, is no problem, it should be so, it should be so. ”

Not daring to talk about the etiquette between the prince and Guo Ye anymore, he changed the topic and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are stepping on the cheap land today, I don't know what is going on?" ”

"It's not a big deal. I just heard a report that King Qin and Xu Shangshu are in conflict. Both of you are pillars of the country, and if you are not in harmony, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the country. Xiao Wang is not talented, I want to be a middle-aged person, and make peace. ”

"I see." Xu Jingzong said: "Your Highness, you are late!" In fact, just before you came, Zai Xia had already reconciled with King Chitose of Qin. ”

"Oh? What the hell is going on? ”

"Here's the thing......"

Xu Jingzong told the story of the incident according to his own version. In the end, he said: "The fight between Xia and King Qin Chitose is just a woman named Lei Shuyao. Now that the woman has said that the dispute between the two of us is no longer there. ”

Li Zhi was also a little dumbfounded when he heard this. To put it bluntly, the purpose of his coming today is to pull the shelf.

There is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason. Guo Ye promised to be loyal, and he will be dead set on you in the future? How can it be so cheap! It's a man and a woman getting married, and there's a saying of separation.

If you want to maintain the relationship between the two, it is not possible for one party to pay, and the crown prince Li Zhi must also show a certain sincerity.

For example, money, such as beauty, such as power, no matter what, is much stronger than empty words.

The problem now is that there is no shortage of money and beauties in Guo Ye's family, and the title has been capped. As for the official position...... Not now, but Li Zhi can't help with this!

It wasn't until not long ago that he heard that Guo Ye and Xu Jingzong had a conflict, and his eyes lit up and realized that this was an excellent opportunity to show favor to Guo Ye.

Who would have thought that it was still a step late!

He looked at Guo Ye and said, "Qin Guogong, is this really the case?" ”

Guo Ye was already disheartened at this time, and said: "There are some discrepancies in the details, but they are generally correct. Now I'm with ......"

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Dong Shun's voice remembered outside the door.

Does this make people talk well? Several people glanced at each other, tidied up their clothes, and went out to greet each other again.

The courtesy of the monarch and the ministers is over.

His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water, and said, "Xu Jingzong, you are guilty!" ”

"Uh...... Wechen didn't know. ”

"Hmph, your son Xu Ang robbed the people's daughter, the evidence is conclusive. And you are indispensable for the crime of lax majesty and indulgence! What do you say now? ”

"Alas, Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged......"

Old man Xu was full of energy, and immediately told the story again.

His Majesty Li Er listened to it, but did not ask Guo Ye, but turned to Lei Shuyao and said, "Little lady Lei, what Xu Shangshu said just now is true or false?" ”

Li Zhi listened to His Majesty Li Er's question, and couldn't help but secretly provoke Brother Thumb, thinking in his heart, Jiang is still old and spicy!

It's the same as pulling the bias frame, you look at my father's questioning, how much you ask! First of all, he took the lead and made his position clear.

Then, instead of asking King Qin, ask Lei Shuyao. King Qin respects his identity and can't tell nonsense in front of everyone. Lei Shuyao is a barbarian girl, but there is no need to talk about faith.

The heavens and the earth are big, and the emperor is the biggest. As long as the woman is not stupid, she should understand which side her father is on, and she should know how to answer.

Sure enough, Lei Shuyao did not disappoint him, this girl had long wanted to regret it. She immediately said, "Uh...... In fact, the little girl did not announce that she was going to marry into the Xu family. ”

"Hey, hey!" Wei Chigong sneered and said, "Your Majesty, this woman is lying!" I heard it with my own ears just now, and she admitted that in order to avenge her father, she could only fail King Qin. Why are you denying it now? ”

Then, he said to Guo Ye: "Brother, don't blame the old brother for not helping you speak." It's true that this woman is not a good match for you, so let her go to the scourge......"

Speaking of this, Da Lao Hei suddenly realized that it was very inappropriate to say this, and changed his words: "All in all, Saion is not blessed, you can figure it out for yourself." I'm doing it for your own good, anyway. ”

Guo Ye nodded and said, "Thank you, brother, I understand." ”

Then, he said to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, just now Little Lady Lei has indeed expressed her willingness to marry Xu Ang. ”

When His Majesty Li Er heard about this, his lungs were about to explode. Why didn't you pay attention, Guo Ye's status actually fell to this point? Xu Jingzong, the weakest of the six major Shangshu, dared to trouble him?

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog! Even if Guo Ye didn't mean anything to Lei Shuyao, he always brought this woman to Chang'an. No matter what the reason, if you Xu Jiadang forcibly took Lei Shuyao away on the street, you just don't give King Qin face!

I can't say it, only I help King Qin to call the shots!

But things have developed so far, His Majesty Li Er really has the intention to kill the enemy and is unable to return to the sky. Everyone else has given up, what else can he do?

His Majesty Li Er immediately felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and said reluctantly: "Since this is the case, then Lei Shuyao will marry Xu Ang as his wife......

"I disagree!" A poignant female voice remembered.

"Who?"

Everyone looked around, and there was no one else! This is...... Haunted?
