Chapter 232 I'm willing to be the next dog of the general manager!
Yang Liuli took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said in a clear and sweet voice: "Liu Li has met His Highness Prince Ning!"
The name of the talented girl Liuli can be said to be known to everyone in the vast land of Jiangnan, especially the literati, who all admire her. Even Prince Ning who is in Nanchang has heard of her name.
.
Now that he could see her in person, even though Liuli's face was covered with gauze, even though Prince Ning was used to seeing stunning beauty, he couldn't help but fall in love with her beauty.
With a flick of his hand, Prince Ning stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Miss Liuli, there is no need to be polite, just go inside and talk!"
In the living room, Prince Ning invited Yang Liuli to sit down, while Prince Ning sat on the main seat, looked at Yang Liuli with a smile and said: "I have heard of the girl's great name, and when I saw her today, she is indeed well-deserved!"
Yang Liuli bowed slightly and said, "This little girl has a humble name, but she made the prince laugh."
Prince Ning couldn't help laughing, waving his hand to the maid serving tea to step back. He straightened his expression, looked at Yang Liuli with clear eyes and said, "Is the person mentioned in Miss Liuli's invitation really the girl's adoptive father?"
Prince Ning was quite horrified when he received the greeting invitation. He had only heard of Yang Liuli's name, but he did not expect that the person standing behind her was actually that person.
Even for that person's sake, Prince Ning would still meet Yang Liuli. Otherwise, even if Yang Liuli was famous all over Jiangnan, it would not be easy to meet Prince Ning easily.
Of course, if Prince Ning is said to be a lustful person, it can be easily seen with Yang Liuli's name. The key point is that although Prince Ning is lustful, he will not forget about it.
Yang Liuli glanced at Prince Ning and said slowly, "Liuli came here just because of a summons from his foster father. His foster father specially ordered Liuli to come and pay homage to His Highness Prince Ning."
Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard the words, and stroking his beard, he kept thinking in his mind. That man is in a bad situation now and is wanted all over the world. However, this man has great prestige among officials, and his disciples and friends are all over the world. He is truly a person of high moral character and high prestige.
generation.
If Zhu Chenhao can regain the throne in the future, the world will inevitably fall into turmoil. If at this time, an important official with high prestige in the government and the world comes out to speak for him,
It can definitely help him stabilize the overall situation of the world.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhu Chenhao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Girl, you are here just to pay homage to me. I wonder if Mr. Yang has anything to say to me!"
Zhu Chenhao naturally knew Yang Tinghe's situation very well. Although Yang Tinghe was famous all over the world, he was now a wanted criminal in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Yang Tinghe hid in the dark and sent people to contact him. In the eyes of Prince Ning, this was normal.
.
Yang Liuli's clear eyes stared at Zhu Chenhao, as if he wanted to see through Zhu Chenhao, and said slowly: "The foster father asked my daughter to ask His Highness Prince Ning if he is interested in the supreme position!"
"What!"
Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this. He couldn't help but spill a few drops of the tea in his hand. His eyes narrowed, and Prince Ning stared at Yang Liuli.
However, under the gaze of Prince Ning, Yang Liuli seemed very calm and unaffected at all. Instead, he said extremely calmly: "The foster father asked the little girl to ask His Highness Prince Ning if he would like to take back the bloodline that may belong to Prince Ning."
The throne!"
Taking a deep breath, King Ning suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and stared at Yang Liuli condescendingly. Suddenly, King Ning laughed loudly, and said while laughing: "What a Yang Tinghe, since he has such courage, how can he be so lonely?"
The king is not afraid to tell the truth directly, I am interested in the world, I wonder if Mr. Yang is willing to help me!"
Yang Liuli nodded slowly and said: "Liuli will inform his adoptive father of the prince's decision. As for whether his adoptive father will help His Highness, Liuli is not able to know."
Prince Ning, who was stroking his beard and feeling calmer, suddenly smiled and said, "Besides me, how many other princes has Miss Liuli visited?"
Yang Liuli smiled brightly, looked up at Prince Ning and said, "Your Majesty is just joking. Apart from Your Majesty, is there any other prince in the world who can enter the eyes of the foster father?"
When Prince Ning heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "In this case, it is my honor to be favored by Mr. Yang!"
Yang Liuli looked solemn and said: "My adoptive father ordered Liuli to come here. It is obvious that he values the prince. Liuli already knows the prince's intentions. When I call the adoptive father, if nothing happens, the adoptive father may not be able to survive for a long time."
Come and pay homage to the prince before the meeting!"
"If Mr. Yang is able to come, I will definitely welcome you and obey your words!"
Yang Liuli stood up, bowed slightly and said: "The little girl will definitely convey the words of the prince to her adoptive father!"
Prince Ning nodded and said, "This will save you the trouble of Miss Liuli!"
Watching Yang Liuli and his maid Qing'er leave, Prince Ning stroked his beard and said in deep thought: "Come here, please invite Mr. Liu and Mr. Li for me."
Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi rushed over after receiving the news, but they didn't know what had happened, so that King Ning summoned them in such a hurry.
In the study, Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi bowed to Prince Ning and said, "Greetings to Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned us here in such a hurry."
Prince Ning motioned for the two of them to sit down, then looked at them and said, "Just now, I met the most talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, Miss Liuli!"
Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi couldn't help but be stunned. They were a little confused. It was just a woman. Even if the other party was named Jiangnan, they didn't know why Prince Ning mentioned a woman with fireworks in such a solemn way.
Liu Yangzheng smiled and said: "That Liuli girl is indeed famous all over Jiangnan, but if His Highness wants to include her in the palace, I would like to advise the prince to think twice."
Thinking that King Ning summoned them here in the hope that they could find a way to help him solve the problem of Liuli entering the palace, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng naturally started to advise him.
Li Shishi also bowed his hands and said: "Your Highness, I would not support your Highness unless you are the minister. In fact, this Liuli girl has a high influence among the literati. If Your Highness takes her into the palace by force, I am afraid that you will lose the Jiangnan scholars."
The heart of a son is detrimental to His Highness’s great cause. I hope Your Highness will think twice..."
When King Ning saw the reactions of his two confidants, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "The two gentlemen have misunderstood me. Yang Liuli is indeed a stunning beauty, but I will not let my beauty ruin my career.
In fact, this woman is here to represent a person."
Li Shishi wondered: "Oh, I wonder who this woman represents?"
Prince Ning said slowly: "Yang Liuli's adoptive father, former chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe!"
Both Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and saw a hint of worry and joy in each other's eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yangzheng looked at Prince Ning and said, "Your Highness, I wonder why Yang Liuli came here to pay homage to Your Highness on behalf of Yang Tinghe?"
Zhu Chenhao said: "Yang Tinghe asked Yang Liuli to ask the lonely king about his ambitions!"
With his eyes narrowed, Li Shishi looked at Zhu Chenhao and said, "I wonder how His Highness will reply!"
Zhu Chenhao said proudly: "The lonely king naturally told Yang Liuli that my ambition is for the world."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi couldn't help saluting Zhu Chenhao: "Congratulations to your highness, congratulations to your highness!"
With a happy face, Zhu Chenhao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that the two gentlemen also think that Yang Tinghe will choose to help me win the throne!"
Li Shishi nodded and said: "That's natural. As we all know, Yang Tinghe and Lu Wenyang failed to seduce the emperor, and were then ordered to be wanted by the emperor. From the chief minister of the cabinet who was under one person to more than ten thousand people, he was reduced to a wanted criminal. If Yang Tinghe wants to be alive in the future,
If he has the opportunity to return to the court in an honest manner, or even take charge of the cabinet again, then he must overthrow Zhu Houzhao."
Liu Yangzheng looked at Zhu Chenhao and said with a smile: "Obviously, Your Highness has become the inevitable choice for Yang Tinghe to return to the court and take charge of the power."
Zhu Chenhao laughed loudly and said: "If the lonely king can really win the throne, these two gentlemen will have contributed a lot. I will never forget the contributions of these two gentlemen."
The two of them looked grateful and said to Zhu Chenhao: "Your Majesty, you should attach great importance to your great cause. Yang Tinghe is famous all over the world, and his disciples and former officials are all over the court. It can be said that if Yang Tinghe is really willing to help His Highness, then it will be enough."
Your Highness has a 30% chance of winning."
Zhu Chenhao looked solemn, nodded and said: "Yes, Yang Tinghe has a great influence on the court. If he can help me, he will definitely help me stabilize the overall situation, so the lonely king must use him..."
As he spoke, Zhu Chenhao bowed to Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi and said, "Here, I would like to apologize to these two gentlemen in advance. I will never forget your contribution."
It has to be said that Zhu Chenhao did a pretty good job in winning people's hearts. He repeatedly showed his two confidants that he would not forget their contributions, which only made Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng extremely moved. Even if
Even the little grudges I had in my heart disappeared.
The scene of the monarch and his ministers enjoying each other's lives is being staged here, but it is said that Chu Yi has arrived in Nanjing city by going down the river.
Visiting the old place again gave me a different feeling. When he came to Jiangnan, he came as the governor of the East Factory, but now he has a respected status and is vaguely the first person under the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the identity of the Suzhou Prefecture was exposed, Chu Yi had put up his own banner. When he arrived in Nanjing City, the civil and military officials in Nanjing had received the news early. No matter what they thought in their hearts, almost all the officials left behind in Nanjing from Wei Guogong Xu Yan on down showed up.
At the pier.
When they saw the two official ships docked at the pier, many Nanjing officials had strange looks in their eyes.
If possible, it can be said that at least half of the officials present did not welcome Chu Yi into Nanjing City. It was really because the several killings that Chu Yi had caused in Nanjing City had left a deep impression on them.
The city of Nanjing, which was really killing people, changed its color when it heard the name of Chu Yi. It stopped the baby from crying at night and finally sent Chu Yi away. Not long after that, the murderer came to Jiangnan again.
The most important thing is that Chu Yi massacred several big families in Suzhou Mansion in one go. His killing intent remained unchanged. It can be said that even before he entered Nanjing City, he was already filled with the smell of blood.
Chu Yi, who was dressed in a python suit, was sitting on a sedan chair. A dozen Dongchang people carried the sedan chair, surrounded by a team of Jin-clad guards, and headed straight towards a group of Nanjing officials.
As they approached, except for the nobles headed by Wei Guogong Xu Yan, all the other officials bowed to Chu Yi: "I'm waiting for you, sir!"
Chu Yi got down from the sedan chair and glanced at the officials. Among the officials present, Wang Hua and others were missing. These few people had already gone to the capital to take up their new posts after being recommended by Chu Yi.
Swinging his long sleeves, Chu Yi put one hand behind his back and waved the other hand slightly: "You don't have to be polite, get up quickly!"
At this moment, Wei Guogong Xu Er stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master Manager, we meet again!"
Chu Yi cupped his hands at Xu Yan and said with a smile: "The old prince's style is still the same, Chu Yi is polite now!"
Xu Pi turned slightly sideways and said, "We have organized a reception banquet for the General Manager in the city. We have also invited everyone from Jiangnan to perform, and we have also invited the General Manager to move to Donglailou!"
Chu Yi chuckled and said: "Old Duke, go first!"
Surrounded by a group of officials and nobles, Chu Yi and Xu Yan walked side by side and headed straight for Nanjing.
Donglailou is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Nanjing. It is said that it was an industry jointly funded by several princes headed by Wei Guogong. Behind the scenes stood Wei Guogong Xu Yan and others. In Nanjing,
It is definitely second to none. No one dares to stir up trouble in the Donglai Tower, so the Donglai Tower has become a place where many wealthy gentry and powerful people often come and go.
However, the Donglai Tower did not welcome guests today. Apparently, it was only prepared to entertain Chu Yi and a group of distinguished officials.
Naturally, the status of the officials who are qualified to accompany him is not too bad. Even so, there are more than a hundred people.
In the huge hall of the Donglai Building, Wei Guogong Xu Chu and Chu Yi sat side by side on the main throne in the middle. Below them were two sides, with honorable officials on one side and officials left behind in Nanjing on the other.
The sumptuous delicacies are exuding an alluring fragrance, the elegant and quiet music of the piano is flowing, and more than a dozen dancers with outstanding looks and graceful figures are performing dances, making it a luxurious scene.
Just looking at the splendid scene, I am afraid that this banquet will cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. It must be said that the prosperity of Jiangnan highlights this point everywhere.
Wei Guogong Xu Er, who was sitting side by side with Chu Yi, saw Chu Yi's reaction in his eyes and said with a chuckle: "Sir, just drink as much as you like. Today we are all going to wash away the dust for the general manager. I hope the general manager will not brush everyone's hair."
Thank you!"
Chu Yi did this again and Xu Ren smiled slightly and said: "Chu is deeply honored!"
While speaking, Chu Yi picked up the wine glass and said to Xu Yan: "The old prince is sitting in Nanjing on behalf of the emperor. He is actually the white jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Chu Yi has a glass of wine on behalf of your majesty!"
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Xu Ni couldn't help but squint his eyes. You must know that if Chu Yi really wanted to pursue what he said, it was a bit disrespectful. Chu Yi actually wanted to respect Xu Ni on behalf of the emperor. The emperor was the supreme emperor.
Expensive, no one in this world can replace it.
Xu Yan didn't believe that Chu Yi didn't know this, but in front of so many officials and nobles, Chu Yi said it openly without worrying at all. The profound meaning revealed in it made Xu Yan think deeply about it.
.
However, Xu Yan's mind was spinning, but his expression remained unchanged. He still had a smile on his face. He raised his wine glass and said to Chu Yi: "The manager is ridiculous. I am stationed in Nanjing on the orders of the emperor. I'm afraid something will happen."
If something is not done well in some place and the emperor is indebted to it, if there is any negligence in one's duty and the emperor blames it, I would like to ask the steward to put in a kind word!"
After Chu Yi and Xu Er drank together, he saw an official among the civil servants below stood up and said to Chu Yi with a wine glass: "I have a glass of wine for the general manager. I would like to be the next lackey of the general manager. I wish the general manager a thousand years."
Thousand years old, thousand years old!"
The corner of Chu Yi's mouth curled up slightly. It was clear that Meng Qing wanted to hug his thigh, and he could even say such shameless flattery in front of so many people.
Raising his glass from a distance, Chu Yi nodded towards Meng Qing.
Naturally, Chu Yi would not refuse people like Meng Qing, especially since Meng Qing was the first official he came to Nanjing to surrender to him so completely. He did not dare to know whether Meng Qing was capable or not.
You must show your own attitude.
If Meng Qing is rejected, it will definitely severely dampen the enthusiasm of a group of officials to seek refuge with him.
There are countless officials in the world who can be killed, so Chu Yi can only win over a group and suppress a group. After all, if he wants to do things, he must use people. If his subordinates do not have a group of officials to use for him, he will be alone.
Even if I'm afraid, I won't be able to accomplish anything.
Meng Qing was actually a little uneasy in his heart. After all, he didn't know whether Chu Yi would be disgusted by Chu Yi's surrender to him. If Chu Yi didn't respond to his surrender, then he really didn't know.
I'm so embarrassed that I'm afraid I won't even be able to gain a foothold in Nanjing.
Fortunately, Chu Yi responded to his surrender, which made Meng Qing ecstatic. He took a big gamble and finally did not lose the bet.
He drank all the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, then gave Chu Yi a prostration, slowly returned to his seat, sat down amidst the envious and jealous eyes of many officials, and straightened his spine.
The officials around him were envious and jealous of Meng Qing. Some officials who had made up their minds to seek refuge with Chu Yi and hugged Chu Yi so tightly watched Meng Qing flattering Chu Yi and felt regretful in their hearts.
Why did I hesitate for a moment, and ended up leaving such a great opportunity to Meng Qing.
Naturally, many officials couldn't wait to stand up and toast Chu Yi to express their determination to surrender to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked at everyone with a smile on his face. Among the many officials present, almost half of them expressed their willingness to surrender to him. There were also a group of officials sitting there motionless. It was obvious that these officials did not have a good impression of Chu Yi.
He was not even ready to seek refuge with Chu Yi.
Chu Yi only glanced at these officials but didn't care. He never thought that all the officials would submit to him. It was beyond his expectation to have so many officials attached to them.
Of course, it was impossible for Chu Yi to have someone take refuge in him, so he would entrust them with important tasks. If that was the case, what would be the difference between him and Liu Jin?
If you want to be attached to him and be reused by him, you must have enough ability, otherwise, just be honest and don't do anything, otherwise Chu Yi won't mind cleaning up the family.
"Miss Liuli is here!"
At this moment, a loud shout came, and many officials whispered to each other in groups. Suddenly, hearing the shout, everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall.
I saw the Liuli girl who moved south of the Yangtze River walking slowly. Her slim figure was wearing a gorgeous palace dress. Her shawl hair was tied into a high bun, revealing her fair and slender neck. A long ribbon hung down behind her, which was a foot long.
, as exquisite as a peerless beauty walking out of a painting, without a smile, yet adding a bit of cool elegance.
The aura of Yang Liuli's appearance was so full, just like the fairy in the painting stepping into the mortal world, her lotus steps moved lightly, attracting the attention of almost everyone present. The officials and nobles all looked at Yang Liuli intoxicated.
"Hiss, I never thought that Miss Liuli would be so stunning when she came dressed up. Not even Fairy Nine Heavens can compare with Miss Liuli!"
