Chapter 22: A Gentleman, a Minister, and a Confidant

As one of the four emperors who control the world, even if he is still young, Shang Zerui's momentum is no longer inferior to the other three emperors, how can the emperor be easily controlled by Lin Zixuan.

In a short sentence, he easily broke the rhythm of the conversation established by Lin Zixuan, and pulled the initiative back to his side, focusing on the anti-guest.

did not take the initiative to reject Lin Zixuan, but also faintly had a negative tendency, such words are not very sharp, but they are definitely to the point.

It is true that the marriage contract has not been dissolved, but so what, since it was made by the previous Shang Emperor and the King of Qi, he, Shang Zerui, as the new Shang Emperor, can dissolve the marriage contract at any time, so if Lin Zixuan wants to continue to use this to survive her love calamity, she must convince him.

How to convince him?

This is Lin Zixuan's first contact with Shang Zerui, even if she has learned that Shang Zerui is not easy to deal with, and she has never despised him, but only when it comes to the real confrontation can she know that this young Shang Emperor's skills are no less than the other three emperors who have been on the throne for a long time.

The emperor's life is the most ruthless, and he is affectionate to ruthless people, this was originally a strategy that Lin Zixuan had thought of a long time ago, he was moved by Shang Zerui's amorous temperament, but he didn't expect Shang Zerui to not eat this set, which made Lin Zixuan fall into trouble for a while.

Indeed, if she enters the Tongming Realm, it will do all kinds of harm to the Shang country, except for those entanglements and feelings with Shang Zeyi, if you stand in the perspective of gain and loss, Lin Zixuan is not sure to persuade Shang Zerui at all.

Because she didn't grasp the persuasion, Lin Zixuan didn't waste the opportunity to open her mouth to Shang Zerui, and left very consciously.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that there was only one chance, and Shang Zerui would only choose to listen to the answer once, if he couldn't convince him, he would never have a chance again.

Lin Zixuan was about to go back to the post house of Qi when she left the imperial city, and when she passed by Shang Zeyi's house on the way, she stood at the door slightly, stopped for a moment, and finally did not go in, and the white yarn swayed and staggered.

Shang Zerui in the imperial city pinched his eyebrows to relieve the fatigue caused by getting up early, and the eunuchs who served beside him had already served morning tea, a cup for each person.

Two cups of tea, the same tea leaves and different water, the tea of Emperor Shang is brewed with morning dew, taking the purity of heaven and earth, which can relieve fatigue, and Changsi's tea is boiled with the strongest wine, and the tea and wine are blended together, boiling out an indescribable mellow fragrance.

Chang Si is a good wine, which is well known in Jinlou, but why he is so good wine, only a few people know.

Drinking on top of the holy face like today, such a profligate behavior, other people would have been beheaded a long time ago, but in the face of Chang Si, these eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial city have long been surprised.

After all, another cup of wine and tea is licensed by Shang Zerui, and every time Chang Si and Shang Zerui talk at night, there will be such a bowl of sobering tea on the second day, which shows Shang Zerui's trust and love for him.

Shang Zerui took a sip of tea.

This is a unique wild chrysanthemum tea in the south of Yeju Town, with a natural fragrance and a warm smell.

The breath entered the nose, the tea entered the throat, and immediately made Shang Zerui, who got up early, come to his senses, he saw Chang Si unceremoniously drank the wine and tea, and smacked his mouth a few times to taste it, which was quite imageless, so he couldn't help but remind: "Don't drink so quickly, and no one robs you, do you really think you are the god of wine? If you are addicted to drinking, it is not good for your health, but you have to change this problem of alcoholism, otherwise you will become drunk all day long. ”

For Shang Zerui's three points of reproach and seven points of concern, Chang Si was accustomed to it, he wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's not a few days to drink, if you can drink a little more, you will earn." ”

Shang Zerui was silent when he heard this, and there was no next word of persuasion, he and Chang Siming were monarchs and ministers, and they were really confidants, how could they not understand what Chang Si said.

Chang Si is also a bit legendary, he doesn't like to read since he was a child, but he loves to dance and play with swords, but he was born thin, like a chicken, he never won a fight, but even so he is still keen to use his fists.

Chang Si doesn't like to read, but he accidentally fell in love with Xiucai. The best way out for a celebrity is in the Golden Building, but he has an eighty-year-old mother at home, and he didn't want to come to the Golden Building, but he was driven out by his eighty-year-old mother with a stick, and pulled out a knife to hold his own neck, which forced him to come to the Golden Building reluctantly.

When he arrived at Jinlou Changsi, he couldn't mix up with the celebrity market, so he simply wandered in the wine field all day.

Shang Zerui met him by accident, that day he changed into civilian clothes and wandered around the Golden Building, and suddenly encountered a noise, at first he didn't care, but he heard the noise getting louder and louder, so he took a closer look.

That was the first time he had seen Chang Si, tall and thin, who had drunk a lot of wine and was holding a scholar and refused to let go.

It turned out that the scholar was from Qi and had been talking about it in the restaurant, which meant that the people of Shang were all covered with copper stench, and there were no real celebrities.

Chang Si originally had nothing to do with himself, but when he heard that he was scolding himself, where was he willing, he drunkenly went to the table of the prince of Qi Guo, grabbed his collar, and said that he wanted to reason with him.

"I want to reason with you first, and if you don't admit your mistakes, I will serve you with my fists. This is what Chang Si said at that time.

Then he really said the so-called truth, and the scholar also hardened, but he refused to admit his mistake, so he was really beaten by Chang Si with an old fist, and the arrogance of the arrogance made the surrounding Qi scholars dare not move.

It can be seen that Chang Si has a rare arrogance in the Shang country.

Shang Zerui felt that this person was a little interesting, so he secretly kept his intentions, and asked people to bring him over when he was free to be his staff.

Ordinary people should be happy to die, but Chang Si is not an ordinary person, he refused at the beginning, saying that celebrities are not good in the dark, and the prince's golden house can't hide his great talent, until Shang Zerui gave him a hundred taels of gold, and promised him that if he really has real talent and real learning, he can use as much talent as he wants in the future.

Chang Si reluctantly stayed.

After that, Chang Si was decisive in trouble, and everything in the world was at his fingertips, constantly showing his talents, solving a lot of things for Shang Zerui, and becoming more and more trusted by Shang Zerui, and became the chief strategist of the East Palace.

The first assistant of a country, this is the position that Shang Zerui left for him in the future, which is enough to see the importance he has in Shang Zerui's heart.

That was nine years ago.

When I first met, Chang Si loved to drink, but it has not yet reached the level where he needs to drink heavily every day, and the reason behind it is that he has to rely on alcohol to relieve his pain in exchange for the pain caused by the war in Dongli.

In that year, the East Fence provoked, and the Shang State and the East Fence had a territorial dispute in the Underworld, with Shang Zehong as the commander and Chang Si as the auxiliary, and led the Eastern Army with a text and a martial arts, until the Zuo Ming Marquis, who lived in seclusion in Bailu City, came out of the mountain, and the two armies fell into a stalemate.

You must know that Zuo Minghou is the second of the ten wisdoms in the world, good at the way of Zhengqi, and is the younger brother of Zuo Mingwang, the owner of the East Fence Authority, leading a group of refiners, as well as the most advanced war machinery flying falcon at that time as combat power, whether it is better than wisdom or strength, the Eastern Army of the Shang State will not be advantageous, and if he continues to fight, he will only let Zuo Minghou eat it slowly.

In order to win the opportunity, Chang Si tried his best to compare wisdom with Zuo Minghou, the battlefield changed rapidly, Chang Si sat on the sand table for a whole month without sleep, with thousands of plans in his head, fingertips (it is said to be forbidden) to make the storm, almost overdrawn his life to finally beat Zuo Minghou.

Although the battle of Hades Ze was won, Chang Si's life was overdrawn too much, and he was already in his last years, both physically and mentally damaged, and his only life left was only ten years at most, and it had been eight years since the war, so he had time to speak.

Otherwise, with Chang Si's ability and status in Shang Zerui's heart, how could the position of prime minister be Xu Qingyin's turn.

The current Chang Si has no official position, just a strategist by Shang Zerui's side, but the people at the top of the Shang State know that compared to Xu Qingyin, the prime minister, he is the real one under the Shang State, a veritable prime minister of cloth.

Recalling the past, the scene was a little cold, but he didn't care about his life, what he cared about was before.

"Are you tempted by Lin Zixuan's proposal?" he looked at Shang Zerui.

Chang Si's attitude towards Lin Zixuan has always been consistent, and she must not be allowed to enter the realm of Tongming.
