Folks in all dynasties in China have always had the habit of selecting the Four Gentlemen, the Four Great Masters, and so on. Chang'an at this time is naturally no exception. At this time, the Four Young Masters of Chang'an are very famous - Changsun Wuji's youngest son and eldest grandson. Cheng Liang, Fang Xuanling's second son Fang Yiai, Wei Zheng's third son Wei Chong, and Hou Junji's fourth son Hou Guoxiao. These four were all of noble birth, capable of both literary and military skills, and they were all romantic and suave characters. He was very famous in the city of Chang'an, and it was one of the four princes whom Prince Li Chengqian wanted to recommend - Hou Guoxiao, the fourth son of Hou Junji.
I have met Hou Guoxiao and Li Zhen, but they are not familiar with each other. It is just a friendship of nodding when they meet, and there is no bad feeling. It is not a big deal whether this person can serve as his deputy envoy, but because of Because this son is Hou Junji's son, and he is also the deputy envoy that the prince has gone to great lengths to launch, Li Zhen couldn't help but think more about it. There is definitely an article here, but he just doesn't know where it comes from. , of course, it would be impossible to see the strangeness in this for a while, and Li Zhen didn't care very much. After thinking about it for a while, he already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't express his position on it, and just looked at it with a smile. Li Chengqian looked uncomfortable for a while, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Come here, I will serve you with pen and ink." After Li Chengqian understood what Li Zhen meant, he clapped his hands with a smile and shouted, and a young eunuch brought him pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Hey, the boss is not stupid at all, he is a bit shrewd. Li Zhen chuckled, but did not say anything more, and did not sign the boss's recommendation letter first. He just stated what he wanted to recommend first. After finishing writing the memorial for the bachelor of Hongwen Hall, he smiled and motioned to the maid accompanying him to pass the memorial to the prince. Although he did not speak, the smile on his face clearly conveyed such a message - everyone should sign together. Otherwise, don't sign at all.
This was originally a matter of equal exchange, and it was fair to everyone, but Li Chengqian felt like he was being coerced. His face was livid, and he stared at Li Zhen angrily for a while, and then he felt very Some people reluctantly picked up the pen and scrawled their names on Li Zhen's memorial. They waved their hands angrily and signaled the palace maid to pass the memorial to Li Zhen. Then he sat sulking in his seat.
Hey, a Shuzi is a Shuzi, not enough to achieve great things at all, even if he is wearing the skin of a prince! Li Zhen saw Li Chengqian become so angry, she was secretly amused in her heart, but she was too lazy to pay attention to so much, and hurriedly swept away Looking at the folding book, he saw that the signature was correct. He laughed, and with a stroke of his pen, he also signed his name on Li Chengqian's folding book.
After Li Zhen made such a fuss, the atmosphere of the banquet was completely gone, and naturally he couldn't drink the wine anymore. However, Li Zhen didn't care. Anyway, Li Zhen was satisfied with being able to knock off the blackmail. As for Li Chengqian, he was not angry. He was so angry that he ignored Li Zhen and didn't bother to stay longer. He folded the memorial he got with a smile, stuffed it into his big sleeve, stood up, cupped his hands towards Li Chengqian and said: "Brother Prince, I'm almost done drinking. Now I’m going to say goodbye, brother Prince, stay here.”
Li Chengqian nodded with a bad look on his face, and snorted calmly: "Go slowly, I won't see you off." He didn't even get up, let alone see Li Zhen off, and Li Zhen didn't care about the prince's shamelessness. Li, smiled, turned around and swaggered out of the East Palace, got on the big sedan chair, and went back to his palace.
"Your Highness." Li Zhen had just gotten off the sedan, and before he could see clearly what was going on around him, a man suddenly walked over and called out not far away.
Huh? Why did this kid come here? When Li Zhen saw that the person who came was Hou Guozhong, he was stunned for a moment. He kept muttering in his heart. Without him, Hou Guozhong was considered a subordinate of Li Zhen. He was also an upright person.
His martial arts skills are also very impressive, but because of Hou Junji's relationship, Li Zhen has never had a close relationship with Hou Guozhong. During the Battle of Shuozhou, sending him to kill the tiger had a sense of separation. Of course, in
Li Zhen was rewarded for his merits, but he did not suppress Hou Guozhong. Instead, he helped him with a great merit. Because of this merit, Hou Guozhong was also promoted to General Zuo Qianniuwei. He was also regarded as a high-ranking military general in the court, but they were not the same.
There was still no interaction between them. Suddenly, he saw Hou Guozhong running over. Li Zhen was really a bit embarrassed, but she didn't bring it to her face. She nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Zihua (
Hou Guozhong), I haven’t seen you for a few days. You are in good spirits. Come, come and have a few drinks with me."
"The young general has taken the liberty to come here. Please forgive me for your highness. There are still official duties in the guard, so I can't delay it. The young general can just drink with your highness in the future." After Hou Guozhong said this, he paused and then continued: "Your highness, if it is recommended by the prince,
My fourth brother, I beg Your Highness not to accept the request. The young general took his leave." As soon as he finished speaking, he did not give Li Zhen a chance to ask. He bowed respectfully, turned around and left to mind his own business.
What? Damn, what is this guy talking about? There is no beginning or end. Grandma is such a badass. She makes me guess the words in half a sentence, huh? How did he know that the boss would recommend Hou Guoxiao, and he ran away like that?
Come remind me, mother, what's fishy here? Li Zhen stood in front of the sedan and thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason. She laughed at herself and was about to enter the mansion to discuss it with the two counselors.
The secret was that a large sedan turned in front of the screen wall. With just one look, Li Zhen recognized that it was the sedan belonging to the fourth child, Li Tai, and immediately felt funny.
***, what's going on today, everyone can't wait to jump out, it's really fun! Come on, take a look. Li Zhen simply didn't enter the house, adjusted her mentality, and greeted the guests with a smile.
Li Tai, who had just gotten off the sedan, greeted him affectionately: "Fourth brother, what kind of wind brings you here? Ha, there is a magpie in my house that keeps chirping today. I have been thinking about some happy event.
I bet the fourth brother is coming."
Li Tai puffed up his belly, his fat face trembled, and he managed to squeeze out a bright smile, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother is a busy man, it's really difficult to meet him, so, brother
So I came here uninvited, haha, I guess I was blown here by the evil wind."
Evil wind? Damn it, there is something hidden in this brat’s words, ***, let’s see what shit your brat will poop next. Li Zhen understood in her heart the intention of Li Tai’s words. He was just making his attitude clear.
Even though he came here for Li Zhen's mission, he didn't bother to think too much. He smiled, waved his hand and said, "Fourth brother, please come in!"
Li Tai was not in a hurry to enter the house, he smiled and walked up to Li Zhen, pretended to take a deep breath, and said with a strange expression on his face: "Ha, the eighth brother is really lucky. Hey, some people are really willing to give up."
It’s so rare to be devoted, even a stingy man is willing to pluck his hair out, haha, it’s interesting!”
Damn it, you kid is not much better. You are just laughing at the same time as the boss. Do you really think that you are a philanthropic person? Damn it, I won’t follow your example today.
Knock out something good, I won’t believe it! Li Zhen naturally understood that some of the people Li Tai mentioned were the prince, but she didn’t bother to say more. She smiled and didn’t pick up Li Tai’s topic, just smiled and compared.
A gesture of invitation.
When Li Tai saw Li Zhen not picking up the topic, a strange look flashed across his fat face, but he didn't say anything more about it. He shrugged his shoulders, laughed and said, "Eighth brother, please." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head.
Walking to Li Zhen's side, the two brothers walked into the house with their own thoughts.
"Good tea, fragrant, really fragrant!" After waiting for people to serve the newly brewed tea, Li Tai pretended to take a sip and praised it loudly with a smile.
"If fourth brother thinks it's good, just bring some back. I don't have anything else here, so I'll have enough tea." Li Zhen also took a sip from the tea bowl and said lightly.
"Oh? That's great. Haha, I really have to thank my eighth brother. Haha, I think it will be a blessing for my brother, hehe." Li Tai was so happy, as if he was really intoxicated, but how could he hear that laughter?
How uncomfortable.
"Fourth brother is joking. With his ability, he is tired of drinking tribute tea. How can he value the wild tea here? However, although this tea is wild, it has a unique fragrance. What do you think, fourth brother?
?" Li Zhen replied calmly.
"Haha, that's it, that's it, well, my brother didn't come here just to drink tea. He wanted to ask for someone from his eighth brother." When Li Tai said this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and a pair of eyes appeared in his eyes.
His eyes flashed wildly, and he stared at Li Zhen.
Want someone? Haha, it seems that the news has reached this kid’s ears. Hey, there will be a lot of excitement next! Li Zhen was very proud of herself. Without him, the four people arranged by the fourth child in "The Rising Sun"
The hidden stakes had long been discovered by Li Zhen, but now they have become pawns used by Li Zhen. Under close surveillance, some specious news continued to reach Li Tai's ears through these hidden stakes. As for who Li Tai wanted,
Li Zhen naturally knew very well, but naturally she would not point it out. Instead, she pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there someone important? What is the fourth brother talking about? Could it be that he has fallen in love with the maid in the younger brother's house?"
?”
As soon as the word "maid" came out, Li Tai choked hard. Although he was lustful, he couldn't be lustful enough to ask for a maid in his brother's house. He knew that Li Zhen was swearing without uttering a curse word.
, but because he wanted something from Li Zhen, he did not dare to do it. He gritted his teeth and said: "Eighth brother is joking, that person is not a maid, but a big man. Hehe, I want this person to be the general of the army."
I wonder if my eighth brother is willing to use it?"
"Oh? I really have someone that the fourth brother wants to use. That's strange. I wonder who the fourth brother wants?" Li Zhen asked, pretending to be confused.
"Liu Qi!" Li Tai said Liu Qi's name word by word.
Damn, this kid is really impatient. He doesn't even know how to hide it. He just says he will come out. In this way, he has sold his own hidden stake. Ha, damn, he is really a waste.
!Although Li Zhen was mumbling in her heart, there was a look of hesitation on her face. She frowned and pretended to be thoughtful. She never spoke. Li Tai stopped talking and just stared at Li.
Without letting go, the hall immediately became cold, and a strange smell arose spontaneously... dd
