Chapter 46: Prime Minister, Mr. Li asks to see you
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Kyoto, Wu Zinian sat on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, and the maids on the side waited carefully. There was a plate of black and purple grapes on the table, and the maid picked the grapes and put them in a bowl, which was filled with milky white soup, which was human milk. Wu Zinian is very old, and he attaches great importance to the way of health preservation, and this breast milk is his daily essential nourishment.
The butler walked in from outside the door, and he was just about to speak, when he saw Wu Zinian's leisurely appearance, he stood quietly aside, waiting patiently. has followed Wu Zinian for many years, he knows Wu Zinian's temperament, moody, if he disturbs Wu Zinian's Yaxing, he will inevitably be reprimanded.
After a long time, after eating most of the grapes, Wu Zinian said slowly: "Wu Zhong, what's the matter?"
The housekeeper Wu Zhong hurriedly replied: "Master, Mr. Li is here." ”
Wu Zinian opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at Wu Zhong: "Why did you say it now?"
Wu Zhong didn't dare to put the fault on Wu Zinian, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "It's a small mistake." ”
Wu Zinian stood up, took the towel handed over by the maid and wiped his mouth: "Go and invite Mr. Li in, and you can also step down." ”
Wu Zhong and the maid left the house one after another. A short time later, a man walked in, with a book hanging from his waist.
Wu Zinian had a warm smile on his face: "Mr. Li, please take a seat." ”
Mr. Li sat on the chair and saw that there was still half a grape on the table, and he smiled but did not say anything.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Li this time?" Wu Zinian sat on the main seat.
"It's not a big deal, a few days ago in the teahouse said a strange anecdote, I heard that the prime minister has been doing well recently, and now he is recuperating at home, so I came to tell the prime minister to relieve boredom. ”
"Oh?" Wu Zinian and this Mr. Li have been friends for many years, although this Mr. Li is just a teaching gentleman, but many years ago, Wu Zinian was ordered to build a forest garden, because of the deduction of the silver taels allocated by the imperial court, he was played by His Majesty, which can be said to be difficult to protect. And he happened to meet this Mr. Li, Mr. Li gave him some guidance, so that Wu Zinian escaped a catastrophe, so he moved the idea of asking this gentleman to be his staff, but this gentleman bluntly said that he was not interested in the temple, but only wanted to be a teacher. However, when encountering difficult things, Wu Zinian will still find this Mr. Li to ask one or two.
Wu Zinian checked the details of this person, he was born in poverty, and his name was Li Wuer, but because he was a teacher, everyone who knew him called him Mr. Li.
"Come on, show Mr. Li tea. Wu Zinian commanded. Then he said: "In the green forest, it's nothing more than fighting and killing, a group of reckless people, what's the interesting thing?" Wu Zinian didn't care.
Mr. Li smiled: "Why does the prime minister make such a conclusion? Listen to me first." ”
"Sir, please. Although Mr. Li is a grass citizen, Wu Zinian has valued him a lot over the years, although he doesn't think there is anything worth listening to, but he will not refute his face.
"A few months ago, there was a young man with a weak crown who was originally an assassin in the Yama Temple, but he wanted to break away from the Yama Palace. The Yama Hall has a door rule, and if you want to break away from the Yama Palace, you must defeat the five Yamas. And Wuyan Luo is not an ordinary martial artist, and the least martial arts cultivation is Huang Ting. And that young man was just King Kong. The young man seemed to be a sword immortal descending to earth, and he used the sword technique to defeat the five Yamas. ”
"What Mr. said is indeed a strange anecdote, although the old man lives in the temple and does not know about the green forest, but he has also heard of the distinction between martial arts, and the sword may only be able to make it by practicing to the earth immortal, strange, strange. ”
Mr. Li took a sip of tea and said: "The strange thing is still to come, after that young man defeated the Five Yamas, after achieving his goal, he chose to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff. However, this can make people in the rivers and lakes talk a lot, because there are too many mysteries about this young man, such as how King Kong flies the sword, why he jumped off the cliff after the big victory, and the last thing, there is a nine-star birthmark on the back of that young man. ”
Wu Zinian, who had a calm face, stared, and the teacup fell to the ground: "Is what Mr. said true?"
Seeing Wu Zinian's appearance, Mr. Li laughed: "It seems that I didn't come in vain this time, I don't know if the matter is true or not, but the rivers and lakes are talking about it like this, I'm afraid it's groundless, and it's not all lies." ”
Wu Zinian stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Then I thought of something: "The old man remembers that Mr. Shi just said that the young man jumped off the cliff and died?"
"That's true. ”
Wu Zinian clapped his palms: "Okay, it's good, it's good to jump off the cliff." ”
"Jumping off a cliff is not necessarily dead, has the prime minister forgotten Zhao Yuma?"
was reminded by Mr. Li like this, Wu Zinian woke up again in his heart, this is not wrong at all, that Zhao Dikun also jumped off the cliff, but he did not die, but was rescued by the princess, and fell in love at first sight, and was selected as a colt. Then a Jianghu martial artist who can resist the sword is more likely to be alive.
"The gentleman specially came to tell the old man about this, and it will not be without a reason, and please let the gentleman know. ”
Mr. Li looked at Wu Zinian, sighed, and thought: This old fox is really old, if it was placed more than ten years ago, he would definitely be calm. The years dry up not only a person's lifespan, but also a person's courage and wisdom.
"Prime Minister, who did the death of the military department Shangshu?"
"I hired Yama to kill him. ”
"Do you still remember how the Yama Hall returned? Before they got there, Xu Shengping had already been taken by others, and all the Yama Hall saw was a corpse. ”
"So what, the old man only needs Xu Shengping to die, it doesn't matter who kills. ”
Mr. Li put the teacup aside: "Xu Shengping was killed just after the young fetus jumped off the cliff and didn't know whether he was alive or dead. And that young man was also an assassin of the Yama Hall before, and there were nine stars behind him, didn't the prime minister think that there was some connection hidden in these coincidences?"
A word woke up the person in the dream, what Li Wuer said, Wu Zinian didn't think much about it. As Li Wuji thought in his heart, this old fox was too old, and he had been standing in a high position for too many years, and for him, he had completely lost the keen perception of his youth. Old eyes are dizzy, and they only revel in their own power.
"Does the gentleman want to say ......?"
"I didn't say anything, Prime Minister, there must be a cause in the coincidence. If there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence. The prime minister was a liar to the saint about killing the woman in red back then, so why is the prime minister sure that Xu Shengping did not deceive you? The prime minister can see the corpse of the woman in red, but has he ever seen the baby's corpse?"
"The hateful Xu Shengping, everyone is dead, and he dares to bring so much trouble to the old man!" Wu Zinian slapped his palm on the table, furious.
"Prime Minister, it's useless to care about a dead person now, you should think about what to do. ”
Wu Zinian hurriedly asked Li Wuer: "Sir, do you have a countermeasure?"
"I can't talk about countermeasures, but the prime minister still has to prepare for the young man to be alive as soon as possible. The saint has been sick for many years, the dragon's body is not safe, and the prince is incompetent, with the saint's temperament, even if the throne is passed on to Princess Chaoping, it is possible, and it will definitely not be passed on to the prince. If it weren't for the current queen, the horror would have abolished the crown prince a long time ago. If the Holy One knows that the child is still alive in the world, he will definitely find him despite the opposition, and find a reasonable reason to help him as a dragon, then the ownership of the throne is uncertain. Moreover, Prime Minister, you have clearly stood on the side of the crown prince, and it is closely related to the assassination of that year, do you think that whether it is the saint who wants to hide the events of the year, or the young man who sits on the throne, which one has a reason to let the prime minister go?"
These words smashed into Wu Zinian's heart, and what Li Wuji said was right, one day he didn't get the highest power, and his head didn't belong to him one day. He slowly sat down in his chair and calmed down.
Li Wuji saw Wu Zinian's appearance and knew that he had finally calmed him down.
"What the prime minister has to do now is very simple, send someone to find that young man, and kill him as soon as he finds it, so as to prevent future troubles. ”
Wu Zinian nodded slightly, and he looked at Li Wuer: "Old man, thank you, Mr. for telling me today, he will thank you again in the future." ”
Li Wuer stood up: "Prime Minister, let's go and arrange it quickly." ”
Li Wuer walked out of the house after speaking, Li Wuer never cared about what was thanked or not, he helped Wu Zinian, he had his own purpose, but what this purpose was, only he knew.
For Wu Zi Nian, why he can trust Li Wuer so much, one is because Li Wuer has saved himself from danger three times and twice, and he Li Wuer obviously has no career intentions, so such a person is his favorite advisor for Wu Zi Nian, because there is no contradiction between them.
Li Wuer walked on the street, saw a new book in the bookstore, he walked into the bookstore, flipped through a few books, after reading it, shook his head again and again, but saw a small book of Mengxue, the book is nothing more than a model of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and filial piety since ancient times, Li Wuer was very satisfied, paid the silver taels, he took the book and walked out of the bookstore, thinking that a few days after going back, he should tell his students what the five virtues are, and the elder and the young and the humble.
