As soon as Jiang Zhong's words fell, without waiting for Chu Qi to refuse, he immediately gave the doorman a look.

The three doormen stepped forward and opened the boxes in their hands.

In the first box is a lifelike jade horse, with his left forefoot stepping on the clouds, and he is a divine horse;

In the second box were twenty pearls of the same size, the size of a grown man's thumb, and showing no signs of dullness or yellowing.

In the third box, there was a box full of silver bars, neatly stacked, almost overflowing out of the box.

Chu Chu's eyes were straight.

Pearls and jade horses are already priceless, even in the palace, it is difficult to have such a top treasure. 、

Pure silver is hard to come by, because it's exactly what you need to make the best artifacts!

Jiang Zhong, who is worthy of being rich and rivaling the country, is such a big deal as soon as he makes a move.

But after a brief moment of surprise, he couldn't help but worry about his brother.

Rewarding people with great gifts must not be small, how should they be good?

Chu Qi showed a hint of surprise, and in the eyes of outsiders, naturally he was also shocked by this gift.

Chu Xuan knew that among his mother's marriage, there were also one or two treasures that were not lost here. The elder brother just pretended to let others think that he could also be moved by rare treasures, so he lowered his vigilance.

"Such a generous gift-" Chu Qi shook his head: "I'm afraid Chu can't afford it." ”

Jiang Zhong was not surprised that Chu Qi would refuse.

The shrewd businessman knew that the situation he was in was not good.

Those who are willing to run for him are either his disciples and fellow party, one is prosperous and the other is lost; Either they are greedy for profit, or they have no fear.

For example, the two queen mothers in the palace, the ceremony, must be accepted in the same way, but if things can't be done, then it may not be. Whether it can be done is even more unknown.

Even if I don't help you do it, do you dare to come back for this gift?

The others, as long as they were normal, did not dare to wade into this troubled water.

Money is good, but you also have to have a life to spend it.

The doormen had already analyzed Jiang Zhong very clearly, if he directly asked Chu Qi to intercede in front of the king, he didn't have to think about it, even if he put the knife on his neck, he wouldn't do it.

But if it's just a "small favor that doesn't hurt", he won't refuse.

This is Chu Qi's attitude towards people.

Take a hand in small things and be kind to others; Big things are wise to protect oneself, and if you can, you won't get it.

Jiang Zhong's expression was sincere, and his posture was very low: "Jiang has only one reluctant request, I hope An Pingjun can take Yang Changshi to see the princess." ”

Chu Xuan's expression immediately changed!

The elder brother took the initiative to ask to see the princess, isn't that looking for death?

If the king mistakenly thinks that his brother wants to seduce the princess and plot the transcendent power of "witch", even if they have eight mouths, they will not be able to tell clearly!

Chu Chu's face was pale and pale, if it weren't for his brother in charge, he estimated that he would have a seizure on the spot and send the guest directly.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He is only a small official, a petty official of three hundred stones, although he has the opportunity to serve the king and is responsible for copying, but he also has many colleagues, and he is not an important person.

Xiangbang, Anpingjun and Le Pingjun, one is Xiangbang, the other is the prime minister, and the other is the deputy of the imperial historian, all of whom are high-ranking officials above a thousand stones, and they are crowned kings and lords.

No matter which one he is, his small body can't withstand a finger pinch, and he really can't afford to offend anyone!

But what's the solution?

Although he knew that what Xiang Bang should do at this time was to resign from the table and retreat bravely, Xiang Bang himself was not happy and asked Yang Yuan to be a lobbyist, and Yang Yuan could only bite the bullet.

The grace of a meal still has to be repaid by sacrificing his life, not to mention that Yang Yuan was first a guest of Jiang Zhong's door, and was recommended by Jiang Zhong?

In this case, he must not refuse Jiang Zhong's request, otherwise he would be ungrateful, and everyone in the world would look down on him.

What's more, before Yang Yuan was stable, he really needed to have such a big tree to shelter. If Jiang Zhong falls, it is difficult to say how many days he can sit in the position of long history, how can he not work hard?

Knowing this requirement, it will definitely make Chu Qi embarrassed, Yang Yuan took a step forward, bowed first, and said respectfully according to the script discussed with Jiang Zhong in advance: "Under Yang Yuan, a person from Liang Guo, he studied in his early years, worshiped under Jizimen, and was taught by his teacher for three years. ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Chu Qi's eyes.

Jiang Zhong knew that this sentence hit Chu Qi's vital point.

Jizi is a world-famous Legalist sage, but the standard of accepting apprentices is very strict, for more than 30 years, there are less than 100 apprentices, and all of them are mixed well.

What's more, although Jizi is a Zheng person, he spent his later years in Zhuguo, and he was buried in Zhuguo. Among the family of Zhu Guo, it is very prestigious.

You must know that the current prince of Zhuguo has a suspicious background, and the three major families of Zhuguo do not approve of this prince.

But for Chu Qi, the eldest son of the king who was born in Zhaoguo, grew up in Zhaoguo, has not set foot on the land of Zhuguo for 30 years, and is still in the power center of Zhaoguo, the feelings of the Zhuguo family are also very complicated.

Some people are eager for him to return to the country and succeed to the throne, because he is the orthodox; Some people also feel that he has long been interested in Zhaoguo, and it is useless to take it back.

But in any case, Chu Qi's identity is naturally there, and the Zhuguo family doesn't accept him, but they don't know him well enough. There is a lack of people to draw the strings for him and speak for him.

Yang Yuan dared to say this, which was equivalent to Jiang Zhong making a promise to Chu Qi in private - as long as you help me, I will find a way to mobilize all my connections and let you return to China to succeed to the throne.

There is no doubt that this is the bloody cost.

If the content of their conversation spreads out today, the heads of the entire Jiang clan will fall to the ground.

As the prime minister of a country, in order to keep his position, he actually helped the proton of another country to escape?

Chu Qi frowned slightly.

His first reaction was to wonder if Jiang Zhong was suspicious, and used him as a vote.

Thinking about his student's character, Chu Qi felt that Yin Changying would not use such inferior means to test him.

That's Jiang Zhong's own assertion.

This is not surprising, Jiang Zhong was originally a very bold person, especially daring to risk his life, and he had no concept of family and country, only supreme interests.

Back then, he dared to invest in the first king, a down-and-out king's grandson, and now he dares to bet on himself.

To be honest, Chu Qi felt a little embarrassed in his heart - since he had such courage, why was he reluctant to retreat bravely?

But he also understands that some people are gamblers by nature and will never settle for the ordinary. Either die vigorously, or live unwilling to be lonely, let Jiang Zhong go to live the life of a rich farmer, it is better to kill Jiang Zhong.

At this moment, Chu Qi's heart was a little confused.

He said to the throne of the king, without thinking, that is impossible.

But he also knew that Zhu Guo did not welcome him, and it was a completely unfamiliar place to him.

He had been in Zhaoguo for thirty years and was used to life here. Therefore, in his heart, he really didn't have much expectation for this throne.

The two complex emotions were intertwined, and Chu Qi pondered for a long time before he said: "Chu Moujie's foreign minister, how can he see the princess?" ”
