Chapter 383: Tao Ziyu
Li Si still has some understanding of this Tao Prime Minister, Tao Cheng's name is Tao Ziyu, and after he was an official eunuch, his father used to be a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.
He was smart and studious since he was a child, and when he was a child, he once went back to his hometown to gain fame, and took the children's examination, the township examination, the guild examination, and the palace examination one by one, and finally became a tanhua and was awarded the Hanlin editorial.
Not long after the award of Tanhua, his father who had already resigned and stayed at home died of illness, so he resigned to keep filial piety for his father for three years.
Three years later, he returned to Beijing to reinstate, and because of his filial piety, he was appreciated by the old emperor, and within a few years, he was promoted to study in the Hanlin Academy and was in charge of the affairs of the academy.
After that, he became even more prosperous, four years later, he was promoted to the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and seven years later, like his father, he also became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
At that time, he was only thirty-seven years old, and it was also a very shocking thing in the Wei State.
In the third year of his reign as the Scholar of the Ministry of Rites, the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne.
And because the new emperor attaches great importance to etiquette, he has frequent contact with him, which makes him gain the trust of the new emperor.
Thirteen years later, the prime minister resigned, and recommended Tao Ziyu, who had been at odds with him at that time, as the prime minister, and the emperor agreed, and Tao Ziyu also became the prime minister of Wei and became the first person under the imperial power of Wei.
And now, it has been 17 years since he became prime minister, and he is now 70 years old.
It's just that Li Si looked at Prime Minister Tao's face at this time, but he felt a little strange in his heart.
He found that Tao Ziyu's appearance, if the wrinkles were removed, was seven or eight points similar to Xiao Xuan.
And what Li Si knows is that Xiao Duan's brother is not dead.
The original cause of Xiao Duan's death was by beheading, and even more than a dozen knives, from which it can be seen that the people in power hate him.
Li Si even suspected that a small knife, or even a bladeless machete, could cut a child a dozen times.
From this, he could also guess how much of a crime Xiaoduan's father had committed at that time.
And if this Tao Prime Minister is Xiao Duan's brother, it will be too incredible.
Li Si couldn't believe this speculation for a while, after all, if this was the case, how wasted the emperor should be, let a sinner ascend to the position of prime minister.
"Sure enough, it's a young man who is a hero! It's just a little test for you, you don't mind. It was at this time that Tao Ziyu interrupted Li Si's thoughts with a smile.
"Don't dare." Li Si came back to his senses, concealed his emotions, said lightly, and stepped out of the carriage.
Then he looked at the coachman next to Tao Ziyu and said, "If you still want to know how strong I am, you can let him practice with me, but this time I will not show mercy." ”
This coachman is naturally also a grandmaster, which is why there was no movement at all when the coachman left the carriage.
Hearing Li Si's words, the coachman no longer had the humble look he had before, but his expression was calm, but there was a faint sense of eagerness in his eyes.
"No need." Tao Ziyu waved his hand and said helplessly: "He's just an ordinary Grandmaster, where will he be Grandmaster Li's opponent?" ”
Then he looked around and said to Li Si, "It's very cold now, Sect Master Li, why don't we go in and say?" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a leading gesture.
Hearing this, Li Si glanced at the Tao Guo Mansion on the side and nodded slightly.
Subsequently, he followed Tao Ziyu into the Guogong Mansion.
As soon as he entered the Guogong Mansion, the coachman slowly closed the Guogong Mansion.
Li Si and the others were cut off from the outside world at once.
"Prime Minister Tao, why is there no one in your mansion?" Li Si glanced around, and then asked.
When he entered, it felt like a haunted mansion, and there was no one else but them.
"Oh, I let them go to rest, and now it's just a few of us here." Tao Ziyu smiled and said.
Li Si nodded slightly and said, "Then I don't know what the Prime Minister is looking for me to do?" ”
As he spoke, he casually looked around, and looked at the demons and ghosts nearby.
At this time, Li Si found that these ghosts only dared to watch from a distance on the wall of this mansion, and did not dare to come in.
It's like the female ghost holding her head, standing on the wall in the dark and cold night, holding her head in her hands.
The other side was still staring at Li Si with bleeding eyes.
It looks weird.
"Actually, it's nothing, isn't it that you want to compete with Mo Qiubai recently? Can the time be postponed a little longer? Tao Ziyu walked again and again, and said with a smile.
"Oh? Why drag? Li Si raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.
He knew that Zhang Yuan was going to delay, because Zhang Yuan wanted to use this to suppress the prestige of the royal family and make the rivers and lakes chaotic.
And this prime minister wants to delay, but he doesn't understand why.
"This is also for the good of Wei State." When Tao Ziyu heard this, he sighed and said helplessly: "This so-called martial arts academy is definitely a wrong move, and the rivers and lakes and the Wei Kingdom have been safe and sound since ancient times. And the establishment of the martial arts academy will make everyone in the rivers and lakes panic and the state will be in turmoil, which is definitely unfavorable for the Wei State, so it is better to remain unchanged and change. ”
Then he paused and continued: "Now the resistance of the Martial Academy is on Mo Qiubai, as long as he is dead, the Martial Academy will naturally not exist. ”
Speaking of this, Tao Ziyu looked at Li Si and continued: "And in order to make the imperial court make up its mind and prevent them from continuing to run a martial arts academy, we have to let Mo Qiubai die in front of everyone, and it just so happens that the grace banquet after the palace test is an opportunity." ”
When Li Si heard Tao Ziyu say this, he didn't know what to say.
I couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable in my heart, although now Mo Qiubai is so happy, and the scenery is infinite.
But secretly, others have prepared a means to kill him, and his death is approaching.
However, this Tao Ziyu is afraid that he thinks too easily, even after killing Mo Qiubai, the rivers and lakes will still be in chaos.
Because Zhang Yuan had already laid out everything.
"But I may not be able to kill Mo Qiubai." Li Si shook his head, and his face showed just the right amount of embarrassment.
Now is the right time to blackmail this Tao Ziyu, and at the same time, you can also see what means this Tao Ziyu has, so that you can kill Mo Qiubai with confidence.
In this way, you can also find out the background of this Tao Cheng Prime Minister and see if you can find some clues, after all, his appearance is too similar to Xiao Xuan.
It is reasonable for him to investigate the background of this prime minister.
Hearing Li Si say this, Tao Ziyu smiled lightly and said, "Come with me, I have something for you." ”
As he spoke, he took Li Si in one direction.
The two were followed by the coachman and the twin sisters.
At this time, they were staring at Li Si vigilantly, their eyes full of vigilance.
Li Si's previous performance of force was too strong, so they were full of vigilance against this unfamiliar grandmaster.
Seeing this, Li Si didn't say anything, if he wanted to kill Tao Ziyu, these three people couldn't stop him at all.
Of course, Tao Ziyu is not a fool.
Just now, Li Si looked at the release of those ghost things, and also found some problems, in addition to these three people, he also saw that there were a large number of masters in the shadows.
He believed that as long as he made a move, those masters would jump out and work together to kill him on the spot.
This is a mortal situation for any grandmaster.
Except, of course...... Li Si himself.
