Luo Cheng's father died young, and when he was only three years old, he was selected as the new King You.
Although he grew up in wealth and wealth, he also had some dandy temperament, but after all, he lacked some experience and became thin-skinned.
Lin Xi exposed his purpose to his face, which made him feel guilty about taking advantage of his friends.
A person like Luo Cheng may not be a perfect friend, but he can already be considered a good friend.
If someone has only had a few meals and two drinks with you, and can pat his chest and proudly tell you that he will give you his life, then even if he doesn't want your life, he will definitely do it.
One day it will take half your life.
"That's right... Brother Zun! I'm not hiding anything from you, but His Majesty has a purpose, let me find out what you say. Controlling all rights, rare beauties in the world, extravagant spending... these Your Majesty
I can give it to you. But if His Majesty wants it, you have to give it to Him."
"Brother...Although I don't know what your Majesty wants, I would like to advise you. The whole world is the king's land, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers. As long as it is what your majesty wants, as ministers and people, we
We all have obligations to satisfy... Besides, Your Majesty treats you well."
"Anyone of the flower ladies trained in Chunhui Garden will be a famous courtesan when they go to the land of fireworks. The ones you have here are all the best. There was once a wealthy businessman who spent 100,000 gold to get a second-class oiran...
And you are all first-class here!" Luo Cheng was still persuading.
"Okay! I agree!" Lin Xi said.
"Yuanwailang is just a starting point. With merit and my help, it is not impossible to reach the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry before the age of forty..."
"Wait, what did you say?" Luo Cheng was stunned, and suddenly realized that Lin Xi seemed to have said something extraordinary before.
Lin Xi said: "You and I are friends, always have been."
"In order to further my ambitions, I joined the eldest prince's service, which was half voluntary and half forced. Come to think of it... you have heard that most of the Xiahou family's heirs have been ruined, and it was the eldest prince who was behind it.
Hand. If I don't obey... I'm afraid I won't survive." Lin Xi conveniently took the blame for the eldest prince.
As a qualified tool man, even if he is abandoned by Lin Xi, he still has his last residual value at this time.
"Although I am forced, I still have selfish motives. My only regret is that there is a gap between me and you."
"Now that you've come to speak, I have nothing to say." Lin Xi said.
Although it seems a little rough to give up a great opportunity for the sake of friendship.
But it's still better than explaining it directly.
The old emperor took some things too seriously and seemed a little too cautious.
Lin Xi, however, had no interest in continuing to circle around.
Frankly speaking, it is really difficult for Lin Xi to be interested in being among these common people and fighting for some so-called worldly rights.
If nothing else, there is nothing truly extraordinary in this world.
Therefore, people's souls are also very fragile.
Their overflowing soul energy is really not even a snack to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was just making up an excuse casually, but Luo Cheng took it seriously, with an excited look on his face, and his eyes were a little red, as if he was holding back the tears of excitement.
"Brother...!" At this time, the delicate and smooth beauty around me seemed to be no longer fragrant.
Luo Cheng grabbed Lin Xi's hand and looked very excited.
Lin Xi pumped hard twice, but it didn't come out.
Looking at Luo Cheng, whose eyes were red, he smiled awkwardly and said, "What? Are you moved?"
"Don't think too much, I owe you this."
"I, Xiahou Zun, have never liked to owe favors. Go back and tell His Majesty that you can come and get what you want at any time."
Luo Cheng nodded, and then solemnly said: "Although the Eight Kings have never had much friendship with the courtiers, and rarely interfered in the court disputes... But I, Luo Cheng, promise in the name of You Wang that from now on you and I will be
Allies. As long as you remain loyal to His Majesty, then I, Luo Cheng... will be your brother forever."
Lin Xi sighed, pushed Luo Cheng's hand away, then put it behind his back and wiped it.
"Okay! Just say yes!"
"By the way, I wrote a new book... Do you want to read it?" Lin Xi began to change the subject.
The young man Luo Cheng was so enthusiastic that it almost made Lin Xi feel pity and wanted to try to change his fate.
"Okay! Of course I want to see it!" Luo Cheng was indeed attracted.
Among the eight kings, King Yan of all dynasties had the most military power and was the right arm of the king.
Prince You, on the other hand, is responsible for commanding the Tiansheng Army that protects Kyoto, and can be called the king's left hand.
Luo Cheng got the new book and received a positive reply from Lin Xi, so he left with satisfaction.
Not long after, Lin Xi received a new batch of ‘rewards’.
Then, the old emperor came to Lin Xi's mansion.
Everyone was cleared, and only the old emperor, Lin Xi, and a few guards who were loyal to the old emperor were standing nearby.
"You are quite smart." The old emperor looked at Lin Xi with satisfaction.
The uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Although he had used deception to stabilize the 'lie' that he still had the ability to predict, some members of the royal family had already made some vague guesses.
Among the upper-class nobles, there were also some not-so-good rumors.
This is also inevitable.
The emperor holds the greatest power in a country and naturally focuses all attention.
Under such meticulous scrutiny, nothing can be hidden.
"After all, those who know the current affairs are heroes. What's more... you also found Luo Cheng. He was kind to me. In other words... if it weren't for him, I would have been killed by the eldest prince. So I must repay him...
"I have to say, Your Majesty, you have found a good lobbyist." Lin Xi conveniently took the blame for the eldest prince again.
Of course, it doesn't mean that I have wronged the eldest prince.
After all, the eldest prince really supported Xia Houjie back then, and Xia Houjie naturally tried to kill Lin Xi.
It's just that he didn't succeed.
"Hahaha! Stop talking nonsense and take it out! I think...you should have sorted it out!" the old emperor said confidently.
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, but decisively took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to the old emperor.
"This book records all my research on electricity, including how to make electricity and some usage... Although it is not comprehensive, I think as long as there is a start, with the ability of today's Xia Kingdom craftsmen,
It should be able to be quickly promoted and expanded," Lin Xi said.
The old emperor took the book and his expression became a little unhappy.
Things have come to this point and there is no turning back.
However, the old emperor still has some idea of how much impact the promotion of the second productivity revolution will have.
That means that many things that have just been formed will be brought back to their original shape again.
It also means that some things that should have been crawling in the mire will become more and more rampant, and then fly up to the sky to peek at the supreme throne.
It also means that some things that were outdated, dilapidated, and decadent in the past will be completely abandoned by the times.
As an emperor, even the promoter of all this, he is always at risk of being overturned by the tide of the times and being beaten to death.
