Chapter 1158: Like his own sister, he doesn’t know how to praise others
Qi Qian personally poured a cup of tea for Yu Changkong, handed it over with both hands, and said with a smile: "It's been a long journey to Changkong, thank you for your hard work."
His tone is respectful and sincere, making people feel at ease and comfortable.
Yu Changkong took the tea, looked at Qi Qian, and said: "From today on, the prince will have twice as many secret guards to follow him, and he will need to choose some good hands, and he will also have to practice martial arts diligently. After all, relying on others is inferior.
, one’s own strength is the greatest weapon to save one’s life.”
Qi Qian was a little surprised: "Changkong is so cautious, but what's wrong with it?"
Since he was dragged aboard the ship called Rebellion by Qin Liuxi, he has gone from being shocked at the beginning to becoming calmer about the people around him. However, the Yu family son who only chooses virtuous kings and assistants has also come to him to do this.
Counselor, he still feels like being hit by a sesame pie. Even though they have known each other since childhood, because Yu Changkong suffered the death of his parents at that time and was blind and cold-tempered, the two of them can only be regarded as good friends.
He never thought that one day, Yu Changkong would come to help him.
But the fact is, he is here.
In particular, Yu Changkong's series of smart timings when he was ordered to lead troops to attack the rebel King Xinyang resulted in the battle being won very quickly with minimal damage. He was even more convinced of Yu Changkong, so much so that he believed in his words.
, even though it is not to the point of blindly following orders, there are few questions.
On the way back to Beijing, although Yu Changkong analyzed his current strengths and weaknesses with him, he did not explain some things as carefully as now, and now, he did.
But this caution requires him to pay attention to his own safety.
Yu Changkong said calmly: "My presence by the prince's side will be a signal, a signal that I, Yu Changkong, want to help you become the emperor. In this way, the prince will immediately become a threat in the eyes of other princes. Any threat will take advantage of him
Eliminate it when it is still young, rather than giving it a chance to grow."
He took a sip of tea, looked at Qi Qian and said, "This means that the prince will be in a whirlpool from now on. Regardless of whether you want to fight or not, others will only think that you want to fight."
Qi Qian was stunned, and he understood what Yu Changkong said, which meant that from today on he would encounter various assassinations or accidents, and these were also the thorns and difficulties that must be experienced in the battle for power.
Yu Changkong looked at his face, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you scared?"
Qi Qian smiled and shook his head: "From the moment I agreed to embark on this road, I no longer have the right to be afraid."
Qin Liuxi built a grassroots team for him, and everyone tried their best to push him to the top, and this wealth and wealth had been fed to his mouth, and he took it. Now he said he was afraid when he heard about the difficulties he might encounter.
Where are the people on this ship?
He couldn't betray Qin Liuxi's trust, let alone disappoint the people on his boat.
For example, when he was granted the title of king, he was granted the title of additional king after only performing two meritorious deeds. Is it because he was lucky or because he was favored?
Not really.
He understood very well that this identity was earned for him by the people on this ship, not just because of his meritorious service or because the saint felt guilty for his illegitimate son living outside the country.
It is the helpers on the ship who are slowly perfecting his identity, which is also the beginning of building momentum. With the identity of the prince, the things he wants to plan will be more smooth.
Therefore, he is extremely polite, humble and grateful to those around him.
Seeing that he understood, Yu Changkong said, "It's good that the prince knows. King Zhao and Yu Linglan will come over later, so you have to be aware of it."
He had just met Yu Linglan, and the other party had also seen him. It was unreasonable not to come and say hello. After all, he was both his eldest brother and the leader of the Yu clan. It was not an exaggeration to come and say hello. This was also a basic etiquette.
King Zhao knew from Yu Linglan that Qi Qian was with him, so he would definitely come to inquire about it.
Sure enough, with only two cups of tea, the waiter came over to say that King Zhao and Yu Linglan would like to see him.
Yu Linglan walked in quickly and walked straight to Yu Changkong. She bowed her hands and said with a smile, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come to Shengjing too."
King Zhao who was following him took a step forward and clasped his fists in greeting with a smile: "I've heard about Chief Yu's demeanor for a long time, and seeing it today, it's true that seeing it a hundred times is better than seeing it. It's really extraordinary." He looked at Qi Qian aside,
He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Brother Qian to actually know the clan leader. You are such a secretive kid!"
Although he was smiling, it was not funny, but his words were even more meaningful and sharp.
Qi Qian returned the gift and said with a smile: "I have known Changkong since we were young. He is very knowledgeable. We have similar interests and it is a blessing to get to know each other."
King Zhao's handsome face was a little distorted, he was angry, and he said in a strange way: "Really? Then you must cherish this hard-won opportunity, and you can't let the clan leader down."
"must."
King Zhao turned to look at Yu Changkong and said: "I wonder why the clan leader came to Shengjing this time? Boyin works as a counselor under me. Since you are his eldest brother and you have come to Shengjing, why not come to my house and I will host a banquet.
How about I wash away the dust and catch the wind for you?"
Yu Changkong smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, don't bother, you just want to send my student home and see your friends again. We already have a place to stay."
King Zhao was stunned. Student, who is his student?
He subconsciously looked at the handsome young man standing behind Yu Changkong. This face seemed vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Yu Linglan looked at Qin Mingyan and said, "This is Qin's concubine's third brother. I remember his name is Qin Mingyan."
As a counselor, you must know the information about the people around Dong Weng, such as Qin's concubine's natal family, and Qin Liuxi, who cannot be won over.
King Zhao stared, "What, this is the Qin family, is he his brother-in-law?"
No, as for the third brother, he should be the child of the eldest family member of the Qin family. In other words, he is the cousin of Qin's concubine and the biological brother of Master Qin who was dragged to heaven in Qingping Temple.
Guanzhu Qin's younger brother is Yu Changkong's student, but Yu Changkong is assisting Qi Qian's counselor. According to the marriage relationship, the two siblings are originally related to him, and their connections should also be his.
, but the reality turned out to be Qi Qian’s!
King Zhao felt that he had realized the painful truth, and his whole body felt bad.
But he stepped forward with a smile on his face, grabbed Qin Mingyan's hand, and said happily: "I have long heard that your second sister said that your third brother is studying abroad, but I didn't expect that he went to the Yu family. She has been talking about you these years.
.Come, come, come home with your brother-in-law, your sister misses you."
Qin Mingyan took out his hand and cupped it and said: "Your Majesty, when you return from your study tour, you have to meet your parents first. Please forgive Mingyan for being rude, and then I can apologize to Sister Mingyue."
"That's how it should be." King Zhao looked unhappy, thinking that the little bastard was as ignorant as his own sister.
When he saw Qi Qian, the old god, he was even more angry. Why do all the benefits come to you, a bastard?
King Zhao looked at Yu Changkong and asked somewhat sharply: "I heard from Boyin that the patriarch is knowledgeable and has extraordinary vision. I don't know how to see the emptiness of the East Palace? If we should appoint a heir apparent, who should he appoint?"
Yu Linglan frowned.
Yu Changkong glanced at him, and that look brought a bit of scrutiny and inquiry. After a few years of assistance, you have helped to create a fool with only water in his brain?
