Chapter 320: Bear the Burden of Humiliation
Lu Chengqing asked Cui Gan: "Master Cui, this is the reason, but what if Na Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu cheat?" Are they loyal to Li Ke, the king of Shu, in their hearts? ”
Cui Gan smiled slightly and said, "Master Lu, you don't have to worry too much. Regardless of whether Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu are cheating, let's first spread the news that Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu led the southern scholars to join His Royal Highness King Wei. As long as the news spreads, due to the huge public opinion, Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu and the southern scholars under their command will have no way out, and they can only join forces with our Shandong Hao clan to assist His Royal Highness King Wei to ascend to the throne. I believe that as long as the news spreads, the hundred officials will definitely compete to attach themselves to His Royal Highness King Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei's momentum will inevitably rise sharply, and he will definitely be able to surpass the momentum of the crown prince Chengqian soon. As for Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu and the Southern Shi clan under their leadership, the two of us can be more vigilant in normal times. After all, His Royal Highness King Wei trusts us the most, or the wealthy family of Shandong that we have inherited for nearly a thousand years, and it is the two of us who make the decision for His Royal Highness King Wei, not him Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu. ”
Soon, the news that the Southern Shi clan and the Shandong Hao clan had united to support Li Tai, the king of Wei, was secretly arranged by Cui Gan and Lu Chengqing, and quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
The entire Tang Emperor's capital Chang'an City was shocked, and everyone knew in their hearts that Li Tai, the king of Wei, had the joint support of the wealthy clans of Shandong and the southern scholars, and his momentum and strength would inevitably surpass that of the crown prince Chengqian, who was only supported by the Guanlong aristocratic group.
Soon, just as Cui Gan expected, many ministers who were swaying from side to side began to flock to visit Li Tai, the king of Wei, hoping to join the camp of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and worship the disciple of Li Tai, the king of Wei.
Time. The door of the mansion of Li Tai, the king of Wei, was bustling with traffic, and there was an endless stream of visitors, and it was very lively. The East Palace of Prince Chengqian was unusually deserted, and many ministers who often visited Prince Chengqian with cheekiness and enthusiasm all changed direction and went straight to the mansion of Li Tai, King of Wei.
Changan. The mansion of the Ministry of Officials Examination Gong Shilang Zhongcen Text.
In the hall, Cen Wenwen was sitting upright on a high-backed chair with Huanghuali in the middle of the hall, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, strode into the hall angrily, and asked Cen Wenwen angrily: "Lord Cen, this entire Chang'an City is rumored to be the lord of the Southern Shi clan to take refuge in him Li Tai, the king of Wei, is this true?" ”
Cen Wenwen looked at Li Ke, the king of Shu, with concern in his eyes, and said in an unusually complicated tone: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, what is rumored outside is good. I, the Southern Shi Clan, want to support His Royal Highness King Wei together with the Shandong Hao Clan. ”
Li Ke said angrily: "Why? Why? Mr. promised my mother and Lord Feng De and Yi Feng. Take good care of me and assist me. Why did you choose to betray now? Is it me Li Ke who is really unable to assist? Or is it that I, Li Ke, was not courteous to Lord Cen and neglected Lord Cen? ”
Cen Wenwen looked at the angry and sad King of Shu Li Ke, and he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but he still said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a genius, smart and heroic, if His Royal Highness can succeed to the throne in the future, he will be a generation of heroes, and the entire Tang Dynasty." The blessings of the people of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is even more courteous to me Cen Wenwen. The deacon is very respectful, and he has never treated me half a point badly. ”
Li Ke was even more angry and said, "In that case, why did Lord Cen leave me and join King Wei?" Is he Li Tai better than me, or Li Tai can be like me and put his heart in his heart. Obey the gentleman's words? ”
Cen Wenwen was silent.
Li Ke suddenly seemed to understand something, and laughed loudly: "Lord Cen doesn't look at the current King of Wei who is powerful and a concubine, and I, Li Ke, am a concubine. I just decided to take refuge in him Li Ke, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the head of the dignified southern scholar clan, the leader and model among the young officials of the Tang Dynasty, Lord Cen Wencen is so undignified, and he is also the kind of character who falls with the wind on the wall, that's it, that's it, whoever you want to take refuge in, right? Whoever you southern scholars want to take refuge in, right? I, Li Ke, am ashamed to be in the company of people like you who have no integrity! ”
Cen Wenwen wanted to explain something to Li Ke, but he knew that at this time, he must not be soft-hearted, he pretended to be angry and slapped the table, stood up, and shouted to the butler: "Get His Royal Highness the King of Shu out of me, my mansion will never welcome such a person who makes such nonsense and humiliates me to enter in the future." ”
The housekeeper followed Cen Wenwen's instructions and began to drive away Li Ke, the king of Shu.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, trembled with anger, and scolded: "Cen Wenwen, you villain, you southern scholars are a group of villains, a group of villains who betray their masters and seek glory. ”
After that, Li Ke pushed away the housekeeper of Cen Wen's mansion who was about to expel him, and said with a snort: "Take away your dog paws and let your dog paws stay away from this king." The king himself will go. A bastard who sees the wind and makes the rudder, a dog! What kind of master there is, what kind of dog legs, dare to drive me away, you are also worthy! ”
With that, Li Ke, the king of Shu, left Cen Wenwen's mansion in a rage.
Looking at the back of Li Ke, the king of Shu, Cen Wenwen muttered to himself in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, in the current situation, my southern scholar clan can only unite with the wealthy clan of Shandong to support Li Tai, the king of Wei, and overthrow the prince Chengqian, who is supported by the Guanlong aristocratic group. ”
Chang'an, the residence of Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Cui Gan, the head of the Shandong Hao family, and Lu Chengqing sat opposite each other.
Cui Gan said to Lu Chengqing with a smile: "Lord Lu, how is it?" Li Ke's big fuss in Cen Wenwen's mansion shows that Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu and the southern scholars they led took refuge in His Royal Highness King Wei, not the ploy of Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu and Li Ke, the king of Shu, right? With Cen Wenwen's decades of experience, he can act quietly, but Li Ke, the king of Shu, is just a young man, and his performance is not fake today, right? Li Ke, the king of Shu, was really angry and felt that he had been deceived. Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu led the southern scholars to join His Royal Highness King Wei, which I think should be true. With the help of the peerless genius Cen Wenwen and the southern scholar clan under his command, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, supported by our Shandong Hao clan, defeated the crown prince Chengqian, but it increased the odds of winning out of thin air.
