Chapter 476: They know how to choose! (Please subscribe)
Walking back from the kitchen.
Seeing that Lu Fei was the only one left in the room, Liu Ji said, "Xiao He is gone?"
Lu Pheasant nodded, and then asked worriedly: "Are you really ready to take over the matter of the Tenth Young Master?"
Liu Ji looked relaxed.
smiled and said:
"Of course I'll take it."
"If you miss this great opportunity, you won't know when the next one will be."
"Didn't you always want me to get ahead?"
"You actually started to worry about this opportunity that came to your door this time?"
"Ha ha."
Liu Ji actually laughed at Lu Pheasant directly.
Lu Pheasant rolled his eyes.
She asked: "Since you have guessed so much, who do you think will win in the end?"
"I don't know." Liu Ji did not hesitate.
Lu Pheasant looked angry.
He snorted coldly, showing his dissatisfaction.
Then he reminded: "You and Xiao He are good brothers. You should know that Xiao He is very close to the eldest son. If the tenth son wins, it may be very detrimental to the eldest son, and Xiao He may not be affected by it."
"and......"
"You and the Tenth Young Master have never met, why did he just appoint you?"
"If you don't handle it well and he blames you, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it, and Xiao He may also be implicated."
"I think you still need to think about it more."
"At least, you have to think clearly whether you are going to serve the Tenth Young Master or the Eldest Young Master, and you should also give due consideration to Xiao He. After all, he has helped you a lot on weekdays, and this matter is very important. If you are not careful, you may not be able to please both parties.
.”
Lu Zhi gave some kind words of advice.
Liu Ji sneered.
Drink all the corn in the bowl in one gulp.
Wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he said impatiently: "You are just a woman, why do you care so much?"
"Who told you that Xiao He is close to the eldest son?"
"Xiao He just worked for the eldest son for a period of time. Does this count as getting closer? Then there are many people in Sishui County who are close to the eldest son. How can this be true in the world?!"
"It's just a woman's opinion!"
Hear the words.
Lu Pheasant was stunned.
Asked: "You mean Xiao He is not the eldest son?"
Liu Ji snorted coldly.
Disdainfully said:
"Certainly not."
"He never was."
"Of course the choice has been made now."
"Ah?" Lu Pheasant said in surprise.
She was already a little confused.
In the past, when the eldest son was here, Xiao He didn't go to serve him. Would he still go to serve the tenth son who was hundreds of miles away?
She hesitated and said: "Xiao He surrendered to the Tenth Young Master?"
Liu Ji nodded.
"Where did you see it?" Lu Pheasant looked confused now.
Although Liu Ji has a very good relationship with Xiao He, since Xiao He came to the county as an official, the number of times the two of them walked around has actually been greatly reduced. And every time they met, she was almost always there. Why didn't she see that,
Xiao He surrendered to the Tenth Young Master.
Liu Ji glanced at Lu Pheasant speechlessly.
Then he looked at the letter paper placed on the case.
Then, he sat up from the floor, put the empty bowl on the table, and walked towards the door.
Lu Pheasant looked dissatisfied.
Asked: "Where are you going again?"
Liu Jidao:
"Go find those foxy friends in your mouth."
"You can't just expect me to go see the three major clans alone, right?"
Finished.
Liu Ji pushed back the ends of his hair that were hanging down to his face, and walked out of the house directly.
Lu Pheasant's face turned slightly red.
She certainly knew who Liu Ji's friends were.
People like Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Xia Houying, and Fan Kuai were either butchering dogs, selling pawns, or playing drums at funerals, and few of them had serious affairs. She had a wealthy family in the past, so she looked down on these, and the most important thing
Yes, Liu Ji usually went to look for him, or just ran there to eat and drink, which really made her lose face.
Of course I don't like to see it.
but.
Now that Liu Ji has taken over the order from the Tenth Young Master, things are naturally different.
She didn't point any fingers at it.
But she still couldn't figure it out, how did Liu Ji know that Xiao He had surrendered to the Tenth Young Master?
She turned to look at the letter on the case, then stretched out her slender hand, picked up the letter, and read it carefully several times. She still didn't see anything wrong. When she put it down, she seemed to think of something.
A flash of light flashed in his eyes.
He murmured:
"So that's it."
"Xiao He sent a letter from the Tenth Young Master."
"With Xiao He's caution, even if he knew that the letter was sent by the Tenth Young Master, in order not to arouse unnecessary suspicion, he would definitely choose to have other junior officials deliver it, and would definitely not come in person. But now he delivers it himself.
I have expressed my concern, and secondly, I may not be showing my attitude to the Tenth Young Master."
Lu Pheasant nodded secretly.
She has figured it all out.
Think of this.
Lu Pheasant couldn't help but frown. She looked out the empty door, but she also noticed that Liu Ji was unusual.
He said softly: "Did Aweng's appearance not make mistakes back then? Will Liu Ji really be successful in the future? Now if he really completes the assignment of the tenth son, and only as a pavilion chief, I'm afraid it will be difficult not to attract attention.
When the time comes, in terms of merit and reward, Liu Ji may not be able to rise to the top in one step. Not to mention becoming the governor of Shouchun County, if he goes to the county, there is a high probability that he will serve in the county."
"When the tenth son becomes emperor, he may not be able to take further steps."
"Maybe..."
"Liu Ji can still go to Xianyang!"
Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
She was unwilling to be mediocre.
Liu Ji used to be the head of a pavilion, but she had always been unwilling to do so. Her family had been well off since she was a child, and she had read a lot of books. Naturally, she looked down on a ruffian like Liu Ji. In addition, Liu Ji had been fooling around a lot in the past.
There was an illegitimate son, Liu Fei, but Gong Lu insisted on letting her get married. She fought to no avail and had no choice but to marry.
She has been a wife for several years now and has long accepted the status quo.
In recent years, Liu Ji has been out from time to time due to official business or invitations from friends. However, she can basically live by herself and engage in mulberry farming and knitting with Liu Fei every day to support her family.
Now she suddenly found out that Liu Ji had a chance to get ahead, and she was not only a little excited.
immediately.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I thought of my brother and others.
Now that Liu Ji is highly regarded by the Ten Young Masters, he needs a lot of help to deal with Shouchun's affairs. In addition to Liu Ji's daily friends, her Lu family can also help. Her brother Lu Ze,
Lu Shizhi and others also have some abilities. If they can use this to sell them to the tenth son, it would not be a bad thing.
She looked at Liu Fei outside the door.
said:
"Liu Fei, you stay at home and take care of yourself. I'll go out first."
Finished.
He hurriedly walked outside the house.
...
Just when Liu Ji and Lv Zhi were gathering friends and planning to monitor the three major clans, Xiang Liang, who was far away in Kuaiji, finally received Yin Tong's letter from Xianyang.
After reading this letter, Xiang Liang's expression changed drastically.
Can't help but explain.
He summoned the Xiang family's descendants and began to discuss countermeasures.
Xiang Liang never expected that Qin Ting would attach so much importance to Chu. Not only did he send Meng Yi, but he also sent Qin Luoheng, which put great pressure on him.
Xiang Liang sat high on it, his face extremely gloomy.
asked:
"You should all know the contents of Yin Tong's letter."
"Tell me what you think."
Xiang Ji said coldly:
"What's there to discuss?"
"If Qin Luoheng dares to harm my Xiang family's good deeds, I, Xiang Ji, will take the lead and kill Qin Luoheng with a halberd."
Xiang Liang ignored Xiang Ji's words.
He turned to look at Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng's face looked a little solemn.
He thought for a moment and shook his head.
He said in a deep voice:
"This matter is no small matter."
"Our original plan was to join forces with other nobles and officials to block the news, so that the Qu, Zhao, and Jing clans would not know that something had happened, and then achieve the goal of killing people with a borrowed knife, but now we may not be able to do so."
"Meng Yi is not someone who turns a blind eye."
"He has no interests in Chudi and will not stand aside for us."
"Not to mention Qin Luoheng!"
"He was already dissatisfied with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and with Chu Di getting closer to the eldest son, it was even more impossible for him to hold back. Moreover, Yin Tong also wrote in this letter that Qin Luoheng and Meng Yi still have not set off.
.”
"I am afraid......"
"Qin Ting has noticed our plan."
"If my guess is correct, the news that Qin Luoheng and Meng Yi are coming to investigate the Chu Territory will probably spread throughout the Chu Territory in the near future, and it will definitely reach the ears of the three clans by then. Our idea has come to nothing.
"
"The top priority is to find another plan!"
Xiang Liang thought so.
He nodded and said, "Brother Fan, what do you think?"
Fan Zeng closed his eyes slightly.
He said in a condensed voice: "Qin Ting may have guessed what we are thinking. He doesn't want to be used by us. Instead, he wants us to fight among ourselves, thereby weakening the power of Chu Land. He may even want to kill us all in one fell swoop."
"Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, but we must be cautious."
"It's just that after the Qu, Zhao, and Jing tribes know our plan, they probably won't let it go. They have been operating in Shouchun for so long. If they really make trouble, it will be difficult for us to bear it. If it causes both sides to lose, it will only be in vain to take advantage of Qin.
Ting.”
"So the prophecy cannot be acknowledged."
"And we have to share the same hatred with the three major clans!"
"At the same time, we need to appease the three major clans while contacting other nobles and local officials to completely block the three major clans' exit and force the three major clans to submit obediently."
Xiang Liang said:
"Having said that."
"But what if the three major clans refuse?"
"Can we still be stronger?"
Fan Zeng nodded.
said:
"You can only use force."
"The arrow is on the string and must be fired!"
"If the three major clans do not resist, when Qin Luoheng and others arrive and conduct a thorough investigation, none of us will be able to escape. By then, the Xiang clan, the Song clan, the Tang clan and other clans, as well as the local officials, will be unable to escape.
Once he is spared, others will know the seriousness of the matter."
"Right now, we need to gather the power of Chu Land to force the three major clans to submit."
"You can even choose to give up some benefits to them so that they can die in peace. Of course, if they all die, the three major clans will not be willing to do so. Therefore, after locking the way out, the three major clans must be allowed to live.
Some of their tribesmen left Chu."
"What if they still refuse?" Xiang Liang said.
Fan Zeng snorted coldly.
Disdainfully said:
"This time the Qin court is coming fiercely, they will definitely suffer a heavy blow, and we have blocked their way out, leaving them with only two choices, either to annihilate the clan, or to survive by cutting off their tails."
