1012 Doing things and being a person
The most difficult thing to suffer is the grace of the beauty, and the most difficult thing to repay is the debt of favor, Liu Yuan has a deep understanding of this.
Now is the most urgent juncture of the investigation, but you still have to come here to repay the former favors, this is also a helpless move, I have to say, Li Tai is very good at "investment", and his interpretation of people's hearts is also superior.
Lin Miaomiao turned her head to look, there were no outsiders, and she couldn't help lowering her voice and saying softly: "General Liu, people go to high places, water flows to low places, the prince fell off the horse and injured his legs, it is said that even if he is cured, he will leave inconvenience in his legs and feet, so that he is not the best choice, with the wisdom of the general, he will definitely know who is the best choice, the king of Wei has always admired the general, marveled at the wisdom of the general, and was impressed by the talent of the general, the king of Wei said, the gate of the palace of the king of Wei will always be kept for the general, General Wang, think twice. ”
There is no accident, this Lin Miaomiao was instructed by Li Tai to throw an olive branch to herself, Lin Miaomiao is just a woman from a green building, she knows a little about these things, and she definitely can't say these solicitation words, it is obvious that Li Tai or Li Tai's think tank taught her, the current Li Tai must be ecstatic, the biggest opponent broke his foot, or left with a leg disease, for an heir, it is definitely a catastrophe.
As soon as Li Chengqian fell, then the biggest chance to win the throne is undoubtedly Li Tai, in him, there are too many shadows of Li Er, he is the second son of Li Er and Empress Changsun, and he is also "Li Er", Li Tai is talented, intelligent, and favors the kings, and is the most favored son of Taizong. According to the convention, the prince should go to the fief when he becomes an adult, and he is not allowed to stay in Gyeonggi for a long time. But Li Tai was favored by Taizong and chartered "not an official", also because of the favor he received. It gave him an ambition that he shouldn't have in his heart.
If you were someone else, maybe you would be tempted, but unfortunately, such an object is Liu Yuan.
"Okay, little lady" Liu Yuan stood up all of a sudden, and said lightly: "If he wants you to bring it, you have already brought it." You can go back to the business, these things in officialdom are not suitable for you, and it is better not to touch them in the future. Although wealth is good, it is a blessing to have a life to enjoy, you go back and tell the person who instructed you, and say that Liu is doing well now. Stick to the status quo. I don't want to change, as for the favor owed to him, Liu will repay it, and say goodbye. ”
After speaking, Liu Yuan didn't look back, and left directly, and this was the end. I didn't drink a drop of wine, and a piece of fruit and pastry didn't move. It's really in a hurry, and it's a hurry to go.
Lin Miaomiao watched Liu Yuan leave, and wanted to keep it, and even leave Liu Yuan to relive the old dream again, but her mouth opened, but she couldn't speak.
It can be heard from Liu Yuan's words that Liu Yuan can come this time, and it depends on the little joy that night, and he can come to be benevolent and righteous, and after saying so much, it is just to let himself be able to make a difference, if he is entangled again, he may have to turn his face, and Liu Yuan also hinted that this kind of thing is not something that people of his level can touch casually, if you are not careful, your life will be gone, this is the first time, and the last time.
For a person who has made up his mind, it is boring to keep him, anyway, he can give an account to King Wei, which is enough.
"General, please slow down." Lin Miaomiao reacted and said respectfully in the back.
After a heartfelt incident, Liu Yuan's mood was still very good, not only did he return a favor, but the bloody plot of "recognizing his father" that he was most worried about was not staged, and a big stone fell in his heart, otherwise, he really didn't dare to go to the gate of Cui's mansion.
Before Liu Yuan's carriage stopped, the guards guarding the door of the Cui Mansion rushed over to welcome them, their eyesight was good, and when they saw the carriage and the guard's outfit, they knew that it was their own uncle who came, this is a generous lord, but there can be no slightest neglect.
"Hello Uncle"
"Uncle, you've been here less recently."
"Phew, what do you know, Uncle, this is a noble person, right, Uncle"
"Uncle, didn't the young lady come back together?"
A group of subordinates are like stars holding the moon to surround Liu Yuan in the middle, offering great hospitality, Liu Yuan also lived up to his expectations, threw out an ingot of gold, and invited everyone to eat, causing a burst of cheers, as for how they divided, Liu Yuan didn't ask.
At this time, the chief housekeeper of the Cui Mansion also greeted him and saluted Liu Yuan, "Hello uncle." ”
"Is my father-in-law here?"
"The third master just came back from duty, and my uncle is looking for the third master to have a drink?"
Liu Yuan said with a smile: "There are some things I don't understand recently, my father-in-law is experienced, so I will ask him for advice." ”
Butler Cui smiled and said, "Uncle is really studious, little think, the third master will also be very willing to guide you, uncle, please, be careful of the threshold." ”
Soon, Liu Yuan met with his father-in-law in the study.
"Father-in-law, how have you been." Liu Yuan said respectfully.
Cui Jing glanced at Liu Yuan, and said with some disapproval: "Okay, don't come here with the old man, why are you here, what about Meng Yao and Dabao, why don't you bring them back to have a look?" ”
This guy, it is estimated that he only has a daughter and grandson in his heart, Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, and had to smile and said: "Meng Yao and Bao just came back the day before yesterday, if your father-in-law misses them, you can visit them at any time, Dabao remembers you every day." ”
"Forget it," Cui Jing said with some indignation: "As soon as I saw your concubines, the old man was not happy. ”
My daughter was married back then, the daughter of a famous family, married a white Ding, it was enough to be wronged, but I didn't expect Liu Yuan to "become bad" after he became rich, and accepted three more in one breath, no, there are two waiting to enter the door, thinking that his daughter was wronged, Cui Jing couldn't beat him in one place, and he didn't lose his eyes and face to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan was speechless, this old guy, although there is no main room, but the concubines in the family have "thirteen aunts", and I don't know how many of them are hidden in the golden house outside, and there are not many good looks, what is this called, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps.
Seeing Liu Yuan's embarrassed expression, the corners of Cui Jing's mouth moved, and then he said unhurriedly: "Okay, let's get down to business, what is the important thing for you to come to the old man this time?" ”
"is investigating the case of the prince's fall from a horse, and a lot of things have been involved. The son-in-law wants to know Lu Dao, how should this matter be handled? Liu Yuan said in a low voice.
This is also a case within a case.
Cui Jing knocked on the table and said casually: "What did the emperor ask you to check." Then you can check what, you have the emperor's will in hand, what are you afraid of? ”
This is said at a high level, and that is said magnificently, but it implies that Liu Yuan's hand should not be stretched too long, and he should take care of everything.
Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The little son-in-law doesn't know what to say, it's just that he is talking." I couldn't help but look around.
"Say, this study is quite delicately designed, and you can't eavesdrop on it outside." Cui Jing said confidently.
"Yes. Father-in-law" Liu Yuan nodded and continued: "If you don't check it, you can find out, report it to the emperor, and then make enemies on all sides." Thankless. But if he doesn't report it, I'm afraid that the emperor won't spare his son-in-law. ”
Cui Jing said with some disbelief: "What, can't you cover it?" ”
"I can't hold it," Liu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "The little son-in-law has the emperor's eyeliner by his side. ”
"How did you be so careless?" Cui Jing said with a look of hatred: "Although there is no doubt about employing people, but the premise is that you don't need to be suspicious, the old man has always thought that you are a very shrewd kid, why didn't you even choose the people around you, so that every move is under the noses of others." Isn't this self-inflicted? ”
This is the opinion of many people, and they would rather use the faithful. It is also not necessary to be refined, so that many talented people do not have a "place to use" because they do not gain trust.
Liu Yuan said indifferently: "This problem is not big, the son-in-law has no objection, and there is nothing to see, leaving a person by his side, in this way, it is equivalent to leaving a protective charm by his side, and the emperor also knows how others can resist and slander the son-in-law." ”
Cui Jingleng paused, he didn't expect his son-in-law to think farther than himself, this is right, with his current ability and state, there is really no need to take any crooked paths, as long as he does not attract jealousy, it is enough, having someone by his side is a good thing, it seems that there is no freedom, but in fact it is an extra layer of protection, so as not to be suspicious of those in power.
This is definitely a smart move.
"Which one didn't find out?"
"I didn't investigate, and I don't want to know" Liu Yuan said calmly: "If you know the Tao, I'm afraid that my attitude towards him will also change and cause suspicion, so I simply don't think about it, and I don't investigate who this person is." ”
"Then what do you want the old man to do?"
Liu Yuan took out those files from his arms and put them on the desk, patted the files, and said with a wry smile: "These things, they must be handed over to the emperor, but once they are handed over, I am afraid that there will be a lot of enemies, alas, it will be difficult to deal with." ”
Cui Jing's eyes lit up, but he still asked calmly: "Oh, is it about the prince's falling horse?" What to find out? ”
"I can't say," Liu Yuan said with a straight face: "This matter is confidential." ”
Just when Cui Jing wanted to speak, Liu Yuan suddenly stood up and said anxiously: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law is in a hurry, go to the thatched house first." After speaking, he walked out of the case in a hurry, and when he walked out, he moved too much, touched the stack of files on the case, and scattered them on the ground.
"Squeak", when the study door was closed, Cui Jing smiled, and while carefully helping his son-in-law put away the files scattered on the ground, he secretly praised his son-in-law: He is getting better and better at doing things.
After Liu Yuan returned to the study, the stack of files was lying on the desk untouched, and Weng and his son-in-law smiled at each other, all in silence.
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law owes King Wei a small favor, if there is a chance, I will help the son-in-law pay it back." Liu Yuan said with a smile.
Cui Jing nodded and said: "The old man knows the truth, you can do your own thing, do your job well, and ignore other things." ”
"Yes, Father-in-law of Youlao."
When Liu Yuan walked out of Cui's Mansion, his face had changed to a relaxed expression, this time Cui's Mansion was a trip, first, he could return the favor of King Wei, and secondly, let Cui Jing deal with some spicy things for him, and the report would definitely be reported, but before reporting, let those people have a preparation or back-up, and let them understand their difficulties, and it would be difficult to say anything at that time.
Being able to do things and being a person are completely different things, Liu Yuan understands the truth very well, and the ideal state is to do things well and not offend people. (To be continued......)
