Chapter 64: Immortals Fight, Mortals Suffer
"Now that the two of them have climbed to the prince, they don't take Yu in their eyes."
Yu Jing didn't return the salute, just smiled coldly.
After he came out of the Gongsun Mansion, he sent someone to invite the two heads of the family.
However, it wasn't until the evening that the two came to the banquet slowly, and Yu Jing really held back a fire in his heart.
If he hadn't had something to look for them, Yu Jing would have left long ago.
"Yu Changshi's words are serious, how dare we not take you seriously."
Wang Yan, the head of the Wang family, smiled sneeringly.
"yes, we're really going to have to deal with things, so it's too late!"
Li Rong, the other head of the family, also nodded and smiled.
Of course, they didn't have something to do.
It's just that Ji Lie and Gongsun He are on the same page, and since the two have taken refuge in Ji Lie, they naturally have to draw a clear line with Gongsun He and Yu Jing.
But Yu Jing was resolute, and they didn't want to completely tear their faces.
So I hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to come to the banquet.
Yu Jing understood what the two of them thought, and didn't pursue it, just said lightly,
"Okay, Hugh is going to talk nonsense, sit down and talk!"
Wang Yan responded to Li Rong, and then sat down cautiously.
"I'll just make it clear, Guocheng intends to do something to King You, and wants to ask the two of you to help."
Yu Jing explained his intention straightforwardly.
When the two of them heard this, their hearts immediately jumped.
Before they came, they guessed that Yu Jing was not looking for anything good.
But I didn't expect that I was going to attack Ji Lie!
"Yu Changshi, King You is a vassal king, if you do something to him, you will lose your head......"
Li Rong said with a bitter face.
"Of course I knew I was going to lose my head!"
Yu Jing snorted coldly, stared at the two of them, and said in a deep voice,
"King Youwang is so aggressive, if Guocheng doesn't fight back, I'm afraid that there will be no way to survive in the future."
"In the past, Guocheng was kind to the two of you, but now he needs your help, can you bear to stand by?"
It's not a thin fart for both of us!
Most of the benefits of the secluded land have been divided between the three of you!
Wang Yan and Li Rong scolded in their hearts, but they only showed embarrassment on the surface.
Seeing this situation, Yu Jing's face softened and said softly,
"Guocheng said, as long as you are willing to help."
"After getting rid of the Queen of You, the two of you can account for half of the business of drunken immortal brewing!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan and Li Rong were moved.
They cooperated with Ji Lie to operate the Drunken Immortal Brewery, and no matter how profitable they were, they had to compete with more than a dozen others.
But if it is really as Yu Jing said, if you can monopolize half of it, then it is the real profiteering!
"In addition, Guocheng will also recommend the children of your two families to become officials in the court."
Yu Jing saw that the two of them looked a little moved, so he added another handful of firewood.
The selection of officials in Bactria was mainly based on the probation system.
If you want to become an official in the court, you need to have outstanding knowledge and good morality in order to be recommended by local officials in the state and county.
This move was originally a well-intentioned move to select talents for the imperial court.
However, as the power of the Haoqiang clan continues to grow, they hold the power to promote, and they often recommend the children of the family.
So that the children of the poor family have no way out.
The reason why the scholars are so stubborn to Gongsun River is because he is a national ruler and controls one side.
On the other hand, it is also because he holds the right to recommend.
Although the Wang family and the Li family can also be regarded as a noble clan, their power is too weak.
Not to mention compared with those families of the fourth generation and three dukes, even compared with the Gongsun family, it is far from the same.
But if their children can enter the court as officials, they can recommend their clansmen in the future.
In the long run, it is not impossible to develop into a wealthy family like the Gongsun family!
Wang Yan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice,
"I wonder what Yu Changshi's plans are?"
Yu Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly said,
"It's easy to plan."
"You just need to find an excuse to invite the Youwang to your mansion."
"At that time, Guocheng will place someone in your mansion in advance, and he can be wiped out!"
Li Rong frowned and hesitated,
"But there are a lot of elite guards around King You, and besides, if you do it in our house, you will be investigated in the future......"
Yu Jing smiled disappreciatively,
"Even if it's elite? He would never have imagined that you would send someone to ambush him, and there would definitely not be many guards around him. ”
"And on Captain Yang's side, there are thousands of soldiers!"
"As for the future investigation, you don't have to worry."
"Youwang is not loved by the Son of Heaven, Guocheng will also greet Prime Minister Cao Cheng in advance, no one will care!"
Although Yu Jing's words were wild, Wang Yan and Li Rong still did not dispel their doubts.
The two glanced at each other, and Wang Yan hesitated,
"Please also ask Yu Changshi to allow the two of us to think about it!"
This matter is not trivial, and Yu Jing did not expect them to agree immediately.
"This is easy to say, but within three days, I must give Guocheng an answer!"
"And I advise the two of you not to go against Guocheng."
Yu Jing handed a meaningful look to the two, then stood up and walked away.
After he left, Li Rong and Wang Yan looked at each other.
"Immortals fight, mortals suffer, Brother Wang Yan, what do you say we are doing?"
Li Rong sighed helplessly.
If you help Gongsun He deal with Ji Lie, although the reward is high, the risk is also high.
Once they don't succeed, or if the news is leaked, then their nine clans will be confused.
But if they don't help, I'm afraid that Gongsun He will take them first.
It's really a left-right man.
"If you don't want to die like this, you have to change your way of living......"
Wang Yan suddenly said quietly.
"What do you mean by that, brother?"
Li Rong looked at him in surprise.
"Which one do you think is better for us, the prince or the Guocheng?"
Wang Yan asked softly.
Li Rong hesitated for a moment and said honestly,
"That's naturally the prince!"
Gongsun He is in charge of power alone, and his attitude is arrogant, and he doesn't take them into account much on weekdays.
But any benefit was swallowed up by him, Yu and Yang.
There are very few left for the other small scholars.
On the other hand, Ji Lie treats people warmly and never stands tall.
Act fairly, and will not discriminate in any way because of the status of the other party.
"Actually, that's fine! The key is that the prince has an accident in our house, how can the two of us get rid of the relationship? ”
"But Yu Changshi just said it......"
"He said it nicely, if something really happens, with Gongsun He's temperament, I'm afraid that he will use us as scapegoats!"
Wang Yan hated iron a little.
Li Rong suddenly realized in an instant, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
Not bad.
The murder of the vassal king is a great event.
Instead of taking risks and working hard to deal with the aftermath, it is better to directly put the blame on the Li and Wang families.
Gongsun He is really ruthless, it's not that he can't do such a thing!
"Then according to you, let's go to the prince and tell the truth?"
Li Rong tentatively said.
"Don't rush yet, there is still time anyway."
Wang Yan thought about it, shook his head and said,
"Wait until tomorrow to go to the palace to see the prince, and after discussing the matter, it's too late to think about it."
