Chapter 383: Ten Thousand Reasons for Rejecting the King of Shu
The scholar-looking man sitting at the top is very young. He was kicked out from here by the steward of the Shu Palace just now. He has lost a lot of face. However, most people in the palace will not care about that incident at this time.
And there was no sense of ridicule or ridicule towards him, because the person sitting opposite him and chatting happily with him was none other than the noble King of Shu.
The conversation between Li Yi and the King of Shu was not actually a "happy conversation" as most people saw it.
There is really nothing to talk about with a stranger. Li Yi is not in a very good mood tonight. His Royal Highness the King of Shu obviously does not have the personality charm of his father. Of course, another reason may be that there are few people at the table.
There were a few dishes of side dishes and a bowl of porridge. The place was not in the garden of Prince Ning's Mansion, nor was it opposite the middle-aged "high official" who had attracted Li Yi's affection when they first met.
"Your Highness is so complimentary." Li Yi had a faint smile on his face, but always kept a distance.
The King of Shu's intention to win over could not be more obvious. However, Li Yi did not expect that the way he would win over was to praise people. He was such a young hero and the pillar of the country. If he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would definitely be reused. He was a blessing to the emperor.
,Jingguo’s blessing is so...
Even Li Yi felt a little embarrassed after hearing some of his words.
Perhaps he was tired and thirsty from boasting. Finally, the King of Shu took a sip of tea, looked at Li Yi, and asked with a smile: "General Xu said in the letter that because of heaven's punishment for sharp weapons, our soldiers from Jingguo were defeated on the battlefield."
He is invincible, kills enemies when he encounters them, and destroys cities when he encounters them, but he doesn’t know what this “heavenly punishment” is, and how can it be so powerful?”
"I heard that this "heavenly punishment" was created by Mr. Li. I wonder if Mr. Li can shed some light on my doubts?" King Shu said with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Li Yi.
"Didn't His Majesty tell His Highness the King of Shu?" Li Yi asked curiously.
The King of Shu shook his head and said, "My father never mentioned it."
Li Yilue thought about it and soon discovered that although the name "Heavenly Punishment" was circulated in Kyoto, it was not very popular. It should be that the higher-ups deliberately controlled the news in this regard.
However, even the King of Shu, the prince who is about to take the throne as the crown prince, does not know what "Heavenly Punishment" is. It seems that the old emperor has kept this matter secret to the extreme.
This thing is too sensitive. Li Yi didn't want to test the old emperor's bottom line. He looked at the King of Shu and said: "The matter of heavenly punishment is no small matter. Since His Majesty has not told His Highness, it means that His Highness cannot know about it.
Moreover, His Majesty has issued an extremely strict silence order on this matter, so..."
Li Yi didn't finish what he said. He believed that the King of Shu must understand what he meant.
Sure enough, after the King of Shu was stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled and said: "Since my father has given the order, I am the one who is rude."
The King of Shu laughed twice, picked up the glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. A look of displeasure flashed across his face that was covered by his sleeves——
"Mr. Chang'an?" Not far away, Cui Chengyu played with the empty wine glass in his hand, glanced in a certain direction, and muttered seemingly unconsciously.
"His Highness's attitude towards him is really beyond my expectation." Chen Lijun's eyes stayed there for a moment, turned his head, shook his head and said.
It's just a county. Even if there is some ability, are there still few capable people under the command of the King of Shu?
Qin Yu on the side did not move his eyes from that direction, nodded and said: "It is really unexpected to meet such a woman tonight."
Cui Chengyu and Chen Lijun glanced at him at the same time. With such a grandson, Prime Minister Qin's reputation would be ruined.
There are many wives and concubines in the house, but he prefers married women. Whenever he likes a woman, he will use all means to get it. At that time, Qin Yu did not recognize any of his relatives, and anyone who stood in his way was his enemy, even an uncle in the family.
All the concubines were obtained. When the uncle went to complain to Prime Minister Qin, Qin Yu kicked him out of the room...
From then on, the name of Madman Qin spread. Although he was grounded by Prime Minister Qin for two months, after he came out, he still went his own way, and everyone in the Qin family had nothing to do about it.
Because he is the only direct male of the Qin family, in order to prevent this incense from being cut off, as long as he does not cause scandals in the family, even Prime Minister Qin will turn a blind eye to his actions and secretly suppress them.
How many memorials were written to impeach Qin Yu.
Chen Lijun looked at him and asked, "Aren't you only interested in married women? When did you change your taste?"
When Qin Yu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I eat too much salty food, and I have to change it to sweet food occasionally. What do you know..."
The two of them shook their heads and ignored Qin Yu.
They came to the palace tonight because they had important matters to discuss, and they represented the family's wishes.
His Majesty's attitude towards establishing a prince is unclear, and the memorials jointly submitted by several ministers have been suppressed. A few days ago, the plan to marry the royal family also failed, and he failed to win the support of the royal family in the capital. This is not a good thing for the king of Shu.
good news.
In order to cope with emergencies in the future, they must make adequate preparations.
The two talked secretly for a while, then saw the King of Shu getting up and walking over.
When the King of Shu sat down, Cui Chengyu looked at him and asked, "Is that person really that important?"
"It's always good if you can win over the people your father values."
The King of Shu's expression was a bit unsightly. It was already very obvious that he wanted to win over County Prince Li, but the other party kept talking about him. No matter what kind of promises he made, he never showed his willingness to be loyal.
This is a bit disrespectful.
Cui Chengyu and the others were slightly surprised when they saw King Shu's face. King Shu obviously didn't get the result he wanted. He was actually rejected by the other party?
How is this possible? He is the king of Shu, not the king of Wei, the king of Qi, and the king of Jin. He is the king of Shu who has the greatest hope of becoming a great treasure——
Compared to Qin Yu, this is the real lunatic!——
"You don't like King Shu." Liu Ruyi sat opposite Li Yi and looked up at him.
Li Yi glanced at her and said: "Of course I don't like the King of Shu. I like your sister, and I also like silver - even gold."
Liu Ruyi neither looked at him nor spoke.
"We are going to be bandits in the future, so it would be better if we don't get involved in this kind of thing." Li Yi added.
He can't talk about his likes or dislikes for the King of Shu, he just doesn't want to get involved in his things. Since ancient times, people involved in such things have not ended well. Although the King of Shu is very popular to win, if you bet on him
What he got in exchange for it is likely to be a lifetime of wealth. The opportunity he just turned down was the dream of countless people.
However, in fact, Li Yi was not optimistic about the King of Shu in his heart.
Although Tianzi was ill, after several contacts, what Shouning inadvertently revealed, and what Li Yi felt from this country, was that the middle-aged man who seemed kind-hearted, wise and wise, was a very
A qualified emperor.
How could a qualified emperor still leave his position in the East Palace vacant when his life was not long?
Everyone in the world thinks that this position should belong to the King of Shu, and the King of Shu and countless courtiers also think so. However, this position does not belong to him yet, so this position will never belong to him.
It is not the King of Shu's turn to be the emperor, and of course it is not his turn to be the emperor. Since it has nothing to do with him, then he should love someone else...
Of course, there are many other reasons besides this. For example, the King of Shu is not handsome enough, he doesn’t like the clothes he is wearing today, and why he is called King of Shu instead of King of Wei and King of Qi. King of Jin sounds better than King of Shu.
, he really doesn’t like the word "King of Shu"...
Not bragging at all, he could give 10,000 reasons like this.
