Chapter 16: Change
"Princess, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Zhou Laosi cried.
I have worked hard for half my life, and this little family business is lost in my own hands because of such a small thing, wouldn't it be too unworthy?
Zhou Wenlong snorted coldly, "Misunderstanding? ”
"Those house slaves, insulting me one by one, bullying me, aren't you behind your back?"
"If it weren't for the housekeeper Liu Xi, who was loyal to the Lord, I'm afraid that I would have been killed by you by now."
Zhou Laosi shuddered, "Wenlong, you must not listen to Liu Xi's words, if it weren't for the fourth uncle and me, I'm afraid that Liu Xi would have annexed your family property a long time ago." ”
No way!
So far, he is still hard-mouthed.
Slowly walking behind Zhou Laosi, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhou Wenlong's mouth, "Liu Xi, you come." ”
Liu Xi hurriedly trotted into the door, "Lord Wang, I don't know what to order?" ”
"Wait a minute." Zhou Wenlong went straight to the kitchen, and when he came back again, there was an extra tray in his hand, on which was a pot of wine, two wine cups, and a grilled chicken.
Putting the things on the table, Zhou Wenlong gave two wine glasses and filled them each.
"One of these two glasses was poisonous."
"Since the two of you, one has the idea of beating my family's property, and the other covets the beauty of the princess, logically speaking, it is a capital crime."
"However, this king has the virtue of a good life, and has decided to keep one of you."
"You two have drunk the wine, who will die or not, then it is up to fate, who will come first?"
When Liu Xi heard this, he immediately understood that this must be a ploy used by the prince.
The corners of his mouth were vial, "Fourth Master, please first?" ”
At this moment, Zhou Laosi's head was already covered with dense fine sweat, and his eyes widened, panicked and unfocused.
"Why don't I come first?" Liu Xi saw that he didn't speak, and immediately said.
"No!" Zhou Laosi hurriedly said, "I'll come first." ”
Zhou Wenlong and Liu Xi, no matter what you say, they are both master and servant, even if Zhou Wenlong really has a problem with his brain, he will definitely not attack Liu Xi, who gets along day and night.
It's a trap!
If Liu Xi chooses first, he will definitely die.
He took the first step, grabbed the glass of wine in front of Liu Xi, and drank it all.
A look of disdain flashed on Zhou Wenlong's face, "Fourth uncle, the cup you drank is poisonous wine, and after three months, it will rot and die." ”
"Go back and enjoy your last life."
"Ahh Thursday Ye was so frightened that his face was bloodless, he shuddered, slowly stood up, and staggered away.
"Donkey, he's also your clansman, did you really drugged the wine?" Princess Luan Ye asked suspiciously.
Zhou Wenlong smiled slightly, "No, I'm just scaring him." ”
At this time, Zhao Laosi hurriedly ran in, "What, Lord Wang, the eunuch in the palace has arrived and said that he wants to read the holy decree." ”
Zhou Wenlong immediately took Luan Ye straight to the front yard.
The old eunuch waved his hand to whisk the dust, "King Bohai answered." ”
Zhou Wenlong immediately fell to his knees.
"Tomorrow morning, the King of Bohai must go to court, and he will be here." After the old eunuch finished reading, he handed the holy decree to Zhou Wenlong, "King Bohai, take the decree." ”
"Father-in-law, why did you let me go to court tomorrow?" Zhou Wenlong asked.
It stands to reason that anyone who has been crowned a king, whether it is a prince or a nobleman, or a hero with a different surname, generally does not need to be in the early dynasty.
On the one hand, the emperor was afraid that the princes would win over the hearts of the people and threaten the throne.
On the other hand, the prince has no actual authority, and there is no need to go to the early dynasty.
"Tomorrow, won't you know when you go?" Gonggong Liu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenlong immediately understood, and he glanced at Liu Xi next to him.
Liu Xi immediately took out ten taels of silver from his arms, "Please also ask your father-in-law for guidance." ”
Gonggong Liu nodded with a smile, and said with his eyes open, "The emperor is worried about the long nights and dreams, and hopes that you will be sent to the Yan Kingdom as soon as possible." ”
No way!
Is it so fast?
Zhou Wenlong's face froze.
A few days ago, there were a few killers in his palace.
originally thought that he had to find out the real culprit behind the scenes before he went to Yan Kingdom, but he didn't expect that the emperor urged him so tightly.
How can this be?
"Is there a delay in this?" Zhou Wenlong asked.
Gonggong Liu snorted coldly and rolled his eyes, "What the emperor talked about in the early court, you also plan to slow down, King Bohai, your courage is a bit big." ”
After saying that, he swung the dust, twisted his ass and left.
Zhou Wenlong thought in his heart, since he let himself be sent to Yan Kingdom, then Prime Minister Li Pu must also know.
It's better to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet him first, discuss it, and see if you can ask the emperor to suspend it for a few days.
"Zhao Si'er, prepare a sedan chair." Zhou Wenlong said.
Zhao Si agreed and hurried away.
Half an hour later, in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhou Wenlong got off the sedan chair and came straight to the door, and Zhao Si banged on the door.
The door was divided to the left and right, revealing the head of a servant, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Zhao Si'er raised his hand and gave him a mouthful, "Our prince has arrived, so don't you quickly let your prime minister come over to greet him." ”
The servant did not dare to slack off, turned around and hurried in.
After two cups of tea, the door opened left and right, and Prime Minister Li Pu walked out with square steps.
"I don't know if the prince has arrived, I miss the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." Lip did not bow down, but arched his hand tightly.
"Well said, well said!" Zhou Wenlong responded twice and stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The two sat down, and after greetings, Li Pu asked, "Lord Wang, what are you doing when you come to my house?" ”
"Today, a decree has been sent to my father-in-law, so that I can go to the morning court tomorrow." Zhou Wenlong took a sip of the tea bowl, and when he saw that Li Pu didn't answer the question, he suddenly understood in his heart that this Li Pu must know about it.
I took the initiative to come to the door, and I took the initiative to mention this matter, and I was already a chess match.
This Li Pu can really pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
Putting down the tea bowl, Zhou Wenlong said with a smile, "Prime Minister, I will send an envoy to Yan Kingdom tomorrow, is the time a little tight?" ”
Li Pu nodded slowly, "Time is indeed a little tight, does the prince think that in a few days, he will be able to prepare enough?" ”
"Five days later." Zhou Wenlong stretched out his hand and tapped the table, "What does the prime minister think?" ”
This time to envoy Yan Guo, Zhou Wenlong is the main force, Li Pu is the auxiliary, logically speaking, everything should be Zhou Wenlong's decision.
The reason why he used a consultative tone, Zhou Wenlong just wanted to show that Corporal Lixian was a little better.
"The prince doesn't have to discuss with me." A wicked smile appeared on Li Pu's face, "After all, this time I went to Yan Kingdom, and the prince was the ambassador, and I didn't follow." ”
"However, tomorrow morning, I will definitely intercede with the emperor on behalf of the prince."
No way!
Zhou Wenlong immediately stood up.
He didn't even go?
How is it possible, the emperor clearly promised himself before that he would let Li Pu follow the envoy to Yan Kingdom.
