After a long conversation, as the sky was getting late, Li Xian stood up and left. Although King Luo Bin had a good conversation with Li Xian, he was short of money and did not dare to say anything to persuade him to stay, let alone say anything.
After chatting about wine and conviviality, he politely sent Li Xian out of the inn door, and then returned to his guest room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the waiter placing wine and food on the table from a large food box.
, although the plates of food were not too exquisite, they were packed with a few pieces of food. Such richness was not something that King Luo Bin could afford at this time. He was surprised and had to quickly ask.
"Ah, it's Mr. Luo who's back." The waiter in the shop was playing with the food box with his head down. Hearing the noise, he immediately raised his head. When he saw it was King Luo Bin, he immediately laughed and said, "This is all what happened just now."
The young master told me, tsk tsk, Mr. Luo met a noble man. Not only did the young master tell me about the food and drinks, he also deposited fifteen coins on the counter in the name of the gentleman, saying that it was the writing fee he received from the gentleman. Let me tell you,
This young master looks young, but he is very generous. He has seen a lot of people in this inn. He has no other abilities, but his eyes are okay. To be honest, sir, it seems that he has never seen this young man before.
That prince-like figure, not to mention anything else, the follower he brought is not an ordinary person, he must be from a very rich and noble family, it's amazing, it's amazing."
"Second brother, do you know that prince? Whose family does he belong to? Luo, well, although Luo is down and out, he doesn't want to take advantage of others." King Luo Bin finished listening to the waiter.
After talking nonsense, his brows instantly furrowed and he asked with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
"Hey, I really don't know this. I thought that the young master was Mr.'s descendant, but I didn't think about it. It's all my fault that I was confused and forgot to ask the basics. This made it difficult for Mr. Luo Bin." The waiter saw the expression on King Luo Bin's face.
It didn't look good. Although he didn't agree with it in his heart, his face was filled with an apologetic smile. He patted his thigh and replied with a smile.
"I don't blame the second brother, it's all Luo. Oh, that's all. It's okay to do this for now. When Luo gets out of office, we can slowly find him and return the favor."
Upon hearing what the waiter said, King Luo Bin remembered that during the long conversation earlier, he had just been busy talking and had completely forgotten to learn more about the young master's background. Now, in addition to knowing that the young master calls himself Wang Sanlang,
The others didn't know anything about it, and I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. But now that the matter had come to this, even if I didn't want to accept the favor for nothing, I had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake my head.
Fifteen guan is not a small amount. For ordinary people, even if all their belongings are sold, they may not be able to raise the money for 15 guan. Even a wealthy family may have to spend 15 guan at once.
, you have to grit your teeth for a long time before you dare to use it, but for Li Xian, who is the prince, it is not a big deal. If you use it, you will use it. It is not a big deal. If you can exchange for a talented person, let alone fifteen
If it is passed, it will be a hundred or a thousand passes. Li Xian also thinks it is worth it. The question is can it be done? Obviously, the answer disappoints Li Xian - it is impossible!
A talented person who was born at the wrong time, but also a talented person with flaws in his character! This is Li Xian's judgment of King Luo Bin after a long conversation - if King Luo Bin went to Beijing for the first time to take the exam, he would be able to pass high school.
, when Wei Zheng was in power, the atmosphere in the court was quite upright. With King Luo Bin's talents and upright temperament, there is no doubt that he will be appreciated by Gaozong and Wei Zheng. Promotion is not difficult. Unfortunately, King Luo Bin failed.
After he became an official, Wei Zheng was dead, Taizong was old, and the government was in chaos due to lack of political control. It would be strange for King Luo Bin to have such a straightforward temper that he would not cause trouble. In addition, his background was just an ordinary noble family, and he was not from Guanlong.
Even if he was admired by Changsun Wuji for a while, he would never become his confidant. If he was framed by a villain, it would be reasonable for him to be dismissed from office. In short, King Luo Bin was like Wei Zheng, and he would not dare to use it unless he was a master of the Ming Dynasty.
Not useful.
Li Xian did not dare to think that he was a wise master, but he still knew himself. At least, for a loyal and upright person like King Luo Bin, Li Xian still had magnanimity in employing people. However, considering the current situation, could King Luo Bin do it?
Its use is still a big question mark, but no matter what, you have to fight for it, but it will definitely not rely on the fifteen thousand dollars. If you really want to bring King Luo Bin under your command, there is still a lot of work to do, and now
Being able to leave a good impression on him is a good start and leaves an opportunity for them to meet in the future. For this, Li Xian can be satisfied. No, after sitting in the carriage,
Li Xian's mood was so good that he started humming a tune unconsciously. He didn't stop until he got off the carriage outside his house.
"My slave, please see His Highness the King of Zhou."
Li Xian was humming a song when someone came out from beside him. The movement was so fierce that Li Xian was startled. He was about to scold him when he looked again and saw that it was Zhang Che, the companion of Li Xian, King Lu.
But it's hard to say it. Not only can't you say it, but you also have to pretend to be amiable, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to be upset.
"Excuse me, how come Eunuch Zhang has time to come to the little prince's house today?" Li Xian suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, raised his hand casually, and asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. My Highness has something important to ask you to come to the palace to discuss. I came here at the last moment. Please come for your convenience." Zhang Che was really waiting impatiently, fearing that he would miss the important event of his master.
, upon hearing Li Xian's question, he immediately began to beg for permission.
Huh? What's going on? That fellow at Lao Liu is so famous that he is so urgent? When Li Xian heard this, he was stunned and started to grumble in his heart, but before he could figure out the ins and outs of the matter
, Li Xian didn't want to just follow Zhang Che to Prince Lu's mansion in such a muddle. He frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully: "Xiao Wang was delayed on some trivial matters earlier. I kept Eunuch Zhang waiting for so long. I'm sorry, um.
, but I don’t know what the sixth brother has to do to find Xiao Wang?”
"This..." Zhang Che couldn't help but become anxious when he saw that Li Xian had no intention of leaving immediately. However, with so many people present, Zhang Che really didn't dare to reveal what happened to King Lu. He was at a loss for words.
I don't know where to start.
So mysterious? Haha, it looks like it can’t be a good thing! Seeing Zhang Che hesitating and refusing to tell the truth, Li Xian’s doubts became a little heavier. After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Li Xian laughed.
He said: "Forget it, Xiao Wang will go right now and have a banquet with Sixth Brother by the way."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am very grateful."
When he heard that Li Xian finally agreed to go to Prince Lu's Mansion, Zhang Che's heart dropped immediately and he quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Eunuch Zhang, why is it necessary? Xiao Wang and Sixth Brother are one and the same. When Sixth Brother is summoned, there is no reason for Xiao Wang not to go. Come, Eunuch Zhang will ride with Xiao Wang." Li Xian laughed.
He took Zhang Che's arm, regardless of Zhang Che's expression, and pulled him into the carriage together.
"Your Highness, maid, how dare you sit with Your Highness? You have to kill me."
Although Zhang Che was Li Xian's companion, he had never had the honor of riding in the same car with Li Xian. Being pulled into the car by Li Xian like this, he immediately felt uncomfortable, fidgeting and twisting his body, and his face looked extremely embarrassed.
With.
"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm just taking a car. What's the big deal?" Li Xian laughed, waved his hand, and comforted Zhang Che for a few words, and then asked directly: "There are no outsiders here, father-in-law." Can you tell Xiao Wang if anything happened to Sixth Brother?"
"This, this..." Zhang Kai didn't want to say it at first, but when he saw Li Xian's face darkened, he quickly changed his words and said: "So that His Highness will know that my Highness once made an explanation. It is not good to talk to others casually about this matter. However, since His Highness is asking questions, I dare not hide it. Here is what happened. Before noon today, news came from the palace that the imperial edict had arrived in Menxia Province, and my Highness was asked to conquer Qizhou."
"What? Is this serious?"
When Li Xian heard this, he was stunned and the words blurted out involuntarily.
"How dare your servants to make such nonsense about such a big matter? Alas, since my Highness learned the news, he has no intention of eating lunch. No matter how hard the servants try to persuade him, I hope your Highness can help the servants to persuade my Highness..." Zhang Che saw that Li Xian didn't believe it. , hurriedly explained, and kept talking non-stop, but Li Xian had no intention of listening anymore. Under the ups and downs in his heart, he suddenly became a little obsessed with his thoughts.
Qizhou is still Qizhou, haha, the inertia of history is really great. It seems that Empress Wu did not want to see Lao Liu. She ignored the previous setback of her prestige and wanted to drive Lao Liu to join the vassal. This is unlucky. The child, how pitiful he is, will not be able to escape this disaster in the end. Well, no, I'm afraid it's not that simple! Li Xian's first reaction was that Empress Wu was dissatisfied with Li Xian's actions in the prison case. He would force Li Xian to join the feudal clan, but when he thought about it, he thought that there might be something fishy behind this matter. It was hard to say that it must have been Empress Wu who had done this. On the contrary, it was more likely that the prince had secretly used his force. Bigger.
I'm afraid this matter won't be settled so easily! Li Xian still needs Li Xian as a shield at this time, and he doesn't want him to be driven away just like that. The problem is that Li Xian is not sure that he can help Li Xian win the battle. Returning to the situation, moreover, Li Xian still had other doubts about this matter - if the prince did it, Empress Wu would definitely have acquiesced, and might even be adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes. If the two brothers Li Xian dared to take action on this matter, If they compete with each other, if things go wrong, they may fall into the trap of others. If they are not careful, the two brothers may be unable to eat and walk around. The more they think about it, the more they feel that the water in this pond is a bit strange. Li Xian was really worried about how to deal with the situation.
