Chapter 113: Coercion and Temptation
It is a great honor to have dinner with the Holy One today. Liu He was flattered and felt that the trip must be quite smooth.
He did not hesitate and immediately responded.
When Qin Huai heard this, he immediately sent someone to record a few cushions for him, and ordered someone to go to pass the meal.
Seeing that everyone was busy, His Majesty stopped him in a loud voice: "Qin Huai, there is no need to pass it on anymore, just divide the widow's meal in two." ”
Qin Huai responded, leading Zhang Luo, who was in a hurry with the little eunuchs.
Liu He's eyes are higher than the top, he never puts anyone in his eyes, and in front of the kind saint, he doesn't feel that he is shorter. Treat the saint as if he was an uncle, let go of his hands and feet, eat, drink and chat.
Reminisced about childhood with His Majesty and had a great conversation.
The set was almost finished, and in the end, Liu He showed his intention.
He got up and left his seat, bowed over and saluted, "Your Majesty, the courage of the Red Warrior asks Your Majesty for someone." ”
"Personal?" When the saint heard this, he put down the imperial chopsticks, seemed to have doubts, and said with a smile: "Chizhi is the red luan star movement, good things are coming?" ”
"It's not a personal affair between children and daughters, it's just that there is a vacant position in the Red Mansion, and I hit that person at first sight, and it is difficult to find a confidant, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it."
The saint pondered for a moment and asked, "The person you want, whose surname is whom, can you have a meritorious official title?" ”
The saint is a thoughtful person, even if he cares about family affection, he will not agree without scruples. The prince's status is quite high, and the nepotism between the doorman and the guest is complicated, and if it is not properly restrained, it will give the person who harbors ambitions an opportunity.
Therefore, it is possible to give to those who are insignificant, but it is powerful and powerful, especially those who hold military power, he will never give.
"This person is the son of the Xin'an County Commander, and he won the top 56 in the palace examination this spring."
The son of the little Qipin County Commander, and he is only a top three, and he has no party members in the court.
Originally, the saint wanted people to check it carefully before replying, so it seemed that there was no need to make another move, and he responded briskly: "Okay, the widow will give this person to Chizhi, and hope that Chizhi cherishes his talents." ”
When Liu He heard this, he was very excited, "Thank Your Majesty Longen, Chi Yi will definitely guard Junyi for Your Majesty and do his best for the prosperity of Dayan." ”
The saint immediately handed over the decree to Liu He, and Liu He's request came true, and he wanted to leave the palace.
Seeing that it was getting late, the saint left him to stay in the palace for a night.
The next day, with the holy decree, he found the local county order and opened various certificates and directions for Yu Mochu.
Coming out of the county office, he held up the pile of vouchers, slapped his palms proudly, and smiled sneeringly, "Haha! With this 'deed of sale', it is difficult for him to do so. ”
If he was the daughter of a flat-headed common people's family, he would never go to such great lengths and would have robbed it a long time ago. After all, Sima Daiyuan is the daughter of an official eunuch, and Sima Qu is serving at the foot of the Son of Heaven, he still has some scruples, and he really has a good impression of Sima Daiyuan, so he is using Ming Media to marry this.
"Let's go, go to Xin'an." Liu He said, stepped on the carriage waiting at the door, and the carriage went away.
At the door of Yufu, Jin Yi knocked on the door of Yufu.
After Liu He identified himself, the people of the Yu Mansion hurriedly turned back to report.
Not long after, Yu County Ling led Liu and Yu Mochu to greet them at the door in person.
"Lord Wan'an!" The Yu family all saluted respectfully, "The prince is driving, and the ministers are far away,"
"This king took the liberty to come to the door to disturb him, and I hope that Yu County Order will forgive me." The face is kind, giving people a feeling of being very approachable.
Although Liu He is scarce. There is no way to be lewd, but there is still a shelf that this prince should have.
"The prince is driving, our mansion is shining, and Weichen is honored, please come in the prince." Yu County ordered to bow down and let Liu He into the mansion.
In the living room of Yufu, Liu He sat on the main seat. Yu Xianling, Liu, and Yu Mochu sat on the guest seats, all with restrained expressions, obviously Liu He's arrival caught them off guard.
The Yu family wanted to be hospitable, and instructed the people to take out all the treasured tea leaves that they had been reluctant to eat to entertain Liu He.
Liu He didn't squeak, and the Yu family was also silent, not daring to say more.
Liu He held the teacup and gently flicked the floating tea leaves in the teacup with the teacup lid, his expression was very calm. Gently blowing the hot air rising from the teacup, I took a sip.
He gave Jin Yi a look, and Jin Yi immediately put the brocade box in his arms on the desk next to Yu County's order. And the brocade box was opened, and a box of white flowers and silver came into everyone's eyes.
The Yu family's eyes widened in shock, especially Yu County's order, and he asked with a puzzled face: "Lord Wang, what does this mean?" ”
"This is a dowry for your family." Liu He went straight to the point and didn't want to beat around the bush.
"Dowry?" The Yu family looked at each other, not understanding what Liu He's words meant.
Yu Mochu, who has been kept in the dark, is even more confused.
"Yes, dowry, this king wants you to withdraw from your relationship with Sima Mansion." Liu He said in a commanding tone, his expression became serious, not as amiable as when he first entered the door, "This king also knows that Lord Yu has a reputation for being incorruptible. But this matter is different, it is by no means a bribe, but just a justifiable compensation. ”
Hearing this, Yu Xianling's and his wife's faces changed suddenly.
Before the couple could speak, Yu Mochu, who was in the clouds, began to frown and question the Liu family: "Mother, didn't you say that you have already retired this family business?" What the hell is going on? ”
"This ......" Liu Shi flickered, not knowing how to explain to his son, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mo Chu, there is a guest, this matter will be discussed later." ”
"Wechen has thanked the prince for his kindness, and the prince should take back these silver coins!" Yu Xian Ling got up and closed the brocade box, held the desk next to Liu He with both hands and put it down, before returning to his seat.
"What do you mean by that?" Liu He asked angrily.
"Back to the prince, this marriage event, how can you say that you will retreat, and the dowry has been paid. This kind of backsliding, Shu Weichen can't do it. ”
Liu He took the case and roared angrily: "Toast and don't eat and drink." He stretched out his right hand, and Jin Yi gave Yu Mochu's certificate and Lu Yin both hands to him. He stuffed the folding fan into his waist, walked to Yu County's order, opened those vouchers and road guides one by one, and said coldly: "Lord Yu, keep your eyes open and see what these are." ”
Yu Xianling stood up, looking intently at those vouchers and road guides, his face changed suddenly, and his brows were tightly locked.
After reading it, he slumped in his chair.
Ryu shook his arm and whispered what those things were.
"Master Yu, I don't know what you think now, can this marriage be withdrawn?"
After half a ring, Yu Xian Ling came back to his senses.
This is the name of King Junyi, he has heard of it for a long time, and he is simply a bully. Since Liu He is eyeing the Yu family, he will never give up easily.
"Lord Wang, if you disregard the law of the king so much, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will punish you?"
"Haha! Wang Fa, you are also worthy of talking about Wang Fa. What's the matter, you still want to sue the royal court? Then dare to ask Lord Yu, what do you want to sue this king? Is it a robbery of people's daughters? Or is it forced to become a prostitute? Or is it a threat to you? Or even bribe you? Liu He's face was full of disdain, wandering around the hall and laughing wildly.
When Yu Xianling heard this, his expression became more solemn. His eyebrows were tightly locked, and he didn't say a word.
From the conversation between the two, Liu also heard that she was here to rob her daughter-in-law, and she finally contributed to such a good relationship, how could she give up easily.
She raised her voice and shouted: "This family affair was set by us first, even if you are the prince, there is no reason to come later." The girl of the Sima family, our Yu family is married, and we will never withdraw from our relatives. ”
When Liu He heard this, a sarcastic smile flashed across his cold face, and he said, "Mrs. Yu is so courageous, since this is the case, I have to think about what position I should arrange for your son-in-law in my mansion!" Is it an inferior slave who washes the toilet? Or a low-level minion in the dining room who carries water and chops wood? ”
"My son-in-law, but Jinshi, if you want him to do anything, he will do it." Liu didn't read much, so naturally he didn't understand these things in officialdom.
"Lord Yu, what about you? But is it the same as Mrs. Yu's caliber? ”
Yu Xianling frowned, looked at each other with the Liu family, and did not squeak for a long time.
He was in the officialdom, and he knew the importance of those things in Liu He's hands. He set his eyes on Yu Mochu, looking at Yu Mochu who was in his prime of life, and didn't want his life to be ruined because of this, and his heart was very entangled.
Yu Mochu got up and persuaded him: "Father, you will promise the prince to quit such a family affair for the child!" The child and Miss Sima have no fate, so why force it. ”
He was secretly happy in his heart.
Providence, it's all providence, if I don't kill a prince halfway, then I'm afraid I will really lure the wolf into the house. If that's the case, after the wedding, my family will not want to have a peaceful life, thank God.
When Liu He heard this, he had a good impression of this rival, he walked to Yu Mochu's side, patted Yu Mochu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yu Gongzi's husband is also!" Those who know the times are Junjie, you can rest assured that this king will definitely reuse you in the future. ”
Yu County Ling knew that Liu He was in a high position, and the matter had come to this point, if he didn't agree, not only Yu Mochu's future would be ruined, but I was afraid that even the Wusha above his head would be difficult to protect, and the Yu family would be in trouble from now on, and there would be no peace, and his elbows couldn't twist his thighs.
Although he is incorruptible, his sleeves are clean, and he never accepts bribes of half a penny, but he can't give up his personal honor and disgrace simply, and let his family accompany him to bury his name.
That's it, for the sake of silence, open one eye and close one eye!
He sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Okay, we can promise to quit our relatives." ”
When the words fell, Liu Shi was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Master, how can you promise him!" Don't you often teach Mo Chu that the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent? Aren't you on the beam wrong? We are sitting upright, and even if the saints come forward today, they dare not say that we are guilty, right? ”
Liu did not shy away from it, chattering endlessly.
Yu Xian Ling said sharply: "Women's family, what do you know?" It's been a long time, and I haven't let the kitchen have lunch. ”
"I ......" Liu Shi glanced around left and right, covered his mouth, and said with a crying voice: "You actually murdered me?" There's no way to live this day......" she ran out of the living room, crying.
Yu Xianling and the Liu family have a very good relationship, and they have been married for more than ten years, and they have never blushed or quarreled.
Yu Xianling suddenly yelled at her so violently, and she was a little difficult to accept for a while.
