With this forced and calm appearance, how can he escape Lu Youzhi's fiery eyes?

At the moment, he determined that the secret hidden in Estuary City must be more than what he saw in front of his eyes!

"Humph! See you tomorrow? ”

"Is it to leave enough time for you to fool Lu?!"

"Mr. Lu, where is this, His Royal Highness the Sea King is really busy with important matters, and it is really not convenient now!"

Pei Zhi was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Coincidentally, yesterday, Liu Weiyong, the prime minister of Southern Qi, happened to visit with an envoy to discuss and negotiate with Wen Chen on matters related to Emperor Hongqing.

"It's just a foreign guest, it's not like Lu hasn't seen Xiyi people, what's inconvenient?"

"But ......"

"No, lead the way!"

Pei Zhi sighed helplessly, and was forced to agree.

Wenfu main hall.

Wen Chen sat on the main seat and ate the grapes on the plate casually, listening to Liu Weiyong's compliments and flattery.

"It's worthy of being a hero out of a teenager! His Royal Highness the Sea King is so young, and he has such a great talent for governing the world, which really makes the old man admire him very much! ”

"I'm young on the pilgrimage, and it's a good thing to be able to add more experience in governing the dynasty by His Royal Highness the Sea King's side......"

Emperor Hongqing, who was sitting on the side, looked aggrieved when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say a word, he didn't expect that he was looking forward to the stars and the moon and the rescuers, but he didn't have the slightest intention of bringing himself back.

Wen Chen chuckled, "Liu Xiang is also a smart person, and he didn't give this king a problem. ”

This thing is also interesting, knowing that it is impossible for him to let the little emperor go, so he simply beautified the capture with words, saying that his own emperor came to Hekou City to exchange and study, and saved the last face for Nanqi.

"That's that......"

Liu Weiyong sneered, "The prime minister came this time for two main purposes. ”

"Liu Xiang, but it doesn't hurt to say."

"First, I came to see if Your Majesty is well, and asked for a handwritten message, I can't be without a leader in the Great Qi Dynasty, since Your Majesty can't return for the time being, I must assign clear people to temporarily manage state affairs for Your Majesty......"

Although Liu Weiyong has almost mastered the court of his country now, there are still some opposing voices in private, and he is forced to stand on the opposite side of Dasheng, His Royal Highness the Sea King, who kidnapped Emperor Hongqing, with the great principle that virtuous ministers need to serve the king.

Although he was not a traitorous minister, he had to admit that during the days when the little emperor left, since the resumption of trade with the Dasheng estuary, the financial level of the four states of Southern Qi has increased at a rate visible to the naked eye, which is a good thing for the country and the people, which is absolutely impossible to happen when Emperor Hongqing is in power.

In addition to feeling a little aggrieved because the saint was a hostage, he also had to pay tribute like Wen Chen like a vassal country, as if Nanqi had lost Emperor Hongqing, but it became better......

Therefore, in order to seek a name for justice and peace of mind, Liu Weiyong had to ask the little emperor for a shield to deal with the ministers, and use it to stabilize his position when debating in the court!

Wen Chen naturally saw what Liu Weiyong wanted to express, and the prime minister, who was above 10,000 people in the past, seemed to be no longer satisfied with condescending to one person.

Turning his head and looking at Emperor Hongqing with a smile, "Brother Xian, who should stabilize the overall situation in the Great Qi Dynasty?" ”

As he expected, this kid saw someone else digging a hole, so he took the initiative to jump into it!

Zhao Lun glared at Liu Weiyong with some resentment, and snorted, "If General Sun is still alive, he will naturally be the best choice!" ”

The corners of Liu Weiyong's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile, "That's ......."

There was a slight displeasure in his eyes.

Wen Chen laughed, what he wanted was this effect, as long as you two monarchs and ministers were not of the same heart, then Nanqi would not be able to make any waves!

Zhao Lun can't understand it now, the person who pinched his life was not only Wen Chen, but also Liu Weiyong, who was classified by him as a traitor!

"That virtuous brother thinks, now that you are in the middle of the Qi Dynasty, who is suitable to be this leader?" Wen Chen asked deliberately.

Emperor Hongqing pursed his lips and thought about it, and said solemnly, "I think that the head of the three princes, Taiwei Fan Qing is the best, and Zhou Da, the head of the household department!" ”

But he was angry and never mentioned Liu Weiyong's name.

When Liu Weiyong, who was on the side, heard this, he gradually straightened his face and put away his smile.

Wen Chen nodded meaningfully, and said deliberately, "Since Brother Xian thinks that Liu Xiang is the best choice, then King Ben will not stop him for no reason, and he will follow Brother Xian's wishes." ”

"Come on, pen and ink are waiting!"

Zhao Lun's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Sea King, I'm talking about Fan Qing and Zhou Da, not Liu Xiang!" ”

"This king knows that the virtuous brother is only optimistic about Liu Xiang alone, so there is no need to repeat what he just said." Wen Chen glanced at him meaningfully.

Are you really referring to what you mean?

Liu Weiyong also reacted at this time, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly got up and bowed to the two, "Thank you Your Royal Highness the Sea King for your love, thank Your Majesty for your trust!" ”

"The minister will definitely live up to the trust and help His Majesty establish the foundation of Daqi for all eternity!"

Hmph, it doesn't matter what you say, it depends on the meaning of this Wen Yuli's third son!

Zhao Lun looked humiliated, and he was reluctant to write for a long time in the face of the golden silk cloth handed over.

Wen Chen smiled slightly and looked at Liu Weiyong, "It seems that this virtuous brother of this king is still engaged in ideological struggle, let's give him a little time first, and Liu Xiang will talk about the second thing first." ”

Liu Weiyong bowed down and thanked him, returned to his original seat, and his demeanor was more respectful, "His Royal Highness the Sea King, I heard that your country has recently been very close to the Western overseas Ingda country, and there is a lot of trade, and it happens that there are many coastal cities in my Daqi, and I also want to do business with these Xiyi people, but I can't make the trip because of the language barrier......

"It is said that there are many talents in Hekou City who are proficient in the Xiyi language in His Royal Highness the Sea King, can you lend a few gentlemen to us?"

Wen Chen bowed slightly, this is not a big deal.

Moreover, Liu Weiyong has more ability and new ideas than he imagined, knows how to judge the situation, and if he is bullied, he must develop his strength as soon as possible, instead of shouting and fighting the enemy endlessly like others, and finally end up hitting a stone with an egg.

However, if he thinks that Hekou City is supported by the Xiyi people to achieve its current prosperity, it is a big mistake, but he doesn't know that those foreigners also came here to learn from the scriptures.

Liu Weiyong saw that Wen Chen was silent, thinking that he was reluctant to send the talent in his hand to Nanqi, and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness the Sea King can rest assured, now that Daqi and your country have already shaken hands and made peace, we will not treat the gentleman sent by His Highness badly, but also provide a considerable rent to your country, and hope that His Highness will be successful!" ”

Rent?

Wen Chen laughed, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!

Since you offered it, then I reluctantly accepted it!

"I wonder what exactly your country is willing to pay for rent?"

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver a year!" Liu Weiyong paused and added, "This is the annual rent of each gentleman sent, and if His Highness thinks it is a little low, the price is also negotiable......

Powerful!

Wen Chen nodded secretly, although Liu Weiyong's personality is not too tough, but in matters that are beneficial to his country, his determination is still very firm, and he is willing to spend money!

It made him can't help but have a hint of solicitation.

Emperor Hongqing, who didn't want to be on the side, suddenly picked it up, pointed at the left minister who wanted to lease Mr. and scolded, "Liu Weiyong, you brute!" ”

"It's just that you gave my country to Dasheng, and now you want to lure the wolf into the house and pull the Xiyi people in? What are your intentions?! ”

Wen Chen frowned slightly, is this kid not good at braining, and you still have the right to speak here? I was about to open my mouth to scold, but I heard a noise from the courtyard outside.

"Mr. Lu, you can't go in......"

"Humph! What a big boldness, Lu Mou wants to see, in addition to today's saints, who else dares to call himself 'I' in my Dasheng land?! ”
