The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 397 Probing and Soliciting

This banquet may be the simplest and crudest banquet that Li Zhuyuan, a second-rank official, has ever had.

It is said to be a banquet, but it is actually four or five home-cooked dishes, and the utensils used are large thick porcelain bowls used in the army.The wine he drank was not the kind of clear, sweet and memorable wine he was used to, but the kind of shochu used in the army to keep out the cold.

Li Zhuyuan didn't show any dissatisfaction in the barracks, especially in front of Jiang Chuan, King Qin, after all, he was not such a shallow person.

In fact, his temptation just now was not at Xia Junze's behest, but his own plan.

In the imperial court, everyone has their own network of relationships.These networks are intricate, such as hometown, same year, same subject, same ranking, teachers and students, etc., all kinds of relationships can become the interface of the network.

Although Li Zhuyuan is Xia Junze's confidant, he also has his own network.And in this political turmoil, he is also full of anger, because he is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He not only has to donate money himself, but also is responsible for the collection of funds from the entire Ministry of War office. The emperor reprimanded him for his bad work.

What Xia Junze said to him last time made him remember in his heart, and he has been thinking about what to do these days.

This political turmoil has resolved more than half of the original entanglement in his heart, and his goal has gradually become clear.

That is to cast under the sect of Qin Wang Jiangchuan.

And he could see very clearly that even though King Qin had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he was victorious in every battle.But these soldiers can help him conquer the world, but they cannot help him rule the world.

If he wants to rule the world, he must need some people who are familiar with court affairs to join him.This is his opportunity for Li Zhuyuan.

And the sooner you seek refuge, the greater your chances of success in the future, Li Zhuyuan understands this very well.

However, he is not a reckless and dull person. The king chooses his ministers, and of course the ministers also choose the king.This is the reason why the so-called good birds choose trees to live in.

His tentative words just now were half true and half false, and he wanted to see Jiang Chuan's true ambition.Secondly, it is also to try the scheming of this young Highness.

After all, His Royal Highness King Qin is too young, and young people are often associated with words such as impulsive and reckless, easily showing emotions, not speaking, and being too ambitious.

For the road to the top, the above problems are fatal flaws.

This road is not only full of tragic head-on fighting, but also full of intrigues and tricks.

If the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, and if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister.If His Royal Highness King Qin is just a warrior who can only wield swords and spears to charge into battle, then he is definitely not a suitable candidate for the monarch in the hearts of people like Li Zhuyuan.

Because following such a person, one can only die faster.

So the temptation just now made him a little confused, but more joyful.

This His Highness really cannot be judged by the standards of a warrior.

With things in mind, and heavy drinking and light food, and the wine flowing into his stomach was as scorching hot as a red-hot knife, Li Zhuyuan's face instantly turned red, and he coughed uncontrollably.

"I forgot that Mr. Li is an elegant person. I can't drink the knife-burning wine in the army. It's my negligence. Come here and serve tea to Mr. Li." Jiang Chuan apologized, but looked at Li Zhuyuan's eyes. There is a trace of disapproval.

Li Zhuyuan was keenly aware of this trace of disapproval, and he suddenly woke up: I was testing this Highness, and this Highness was probably testing himself.

If I behaved arrogantly and contrived, I am afraid that I would be included in King Qin's blacklist.Even if the first impression is not good, it will be difficult to turn around in the future.

So he tried his best to suppress his cough, and said with a blushing smile, "Your Highness, I have lost my temper. Although this wine is strong, it is as strong and forthright as a man in the army, hot and heroic. Today, even with the help of His Highness's wine, Go and get rid of the frailty of the officials."

After finishing speaking, he filled another cup for himself, raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Highness, it's my respect for you to do it first!"

After talking about the same neck, he poured all the burning knives in a large coarse porcelain bowl into his throat in one breath.

Jiang Chuan and Su Qin who watched this scene were stunned, they looked at each other, and then they both looked at this brave Shangshu with suppressed smiles.

When Jiang Chuan drank this kind of wine for the first time, he was also choked to tears, because it was too strong, drinking it was like a red-hot knife stirring in his stomach, and the feeling was really not a pleasant word. Make it clear.

Unexpectedly, this thin-looking and frail Minister of the Ministry of War drank it down with a big bowl. He really deserved it.

Sure enough, Li Zhuyuan, who had just put down the bowl and was about to say a few words on the occasion, pinched his neck suddenly, his face was extremely red, he coughed non-stop, and his eyes seemed to turn red.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Chuan suppressed his laughter, and hurriedly asked the guard to bring a large pot of herbal tea, and asked Li Zhuyuan to drink several bowls, only to feel that the burning feeling between the chest and abdomen faded a lot.

After slowly calming down, Li Zhuyuan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty lost his temper again, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

But as soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice had become hoarse and dry, like a rag being torn, he was startled, panicked, pointed at his throat and yelled.

Jiang Chuan and Su Qin were also surprised. They didn't expect this buddy to react so strongly. After drinking a bowl of wine, his throat became hoarse. The burning knife of emotion has the effect of making people dumb.

Su Qin hurriedly appeased Li Zhuyuan, and sent for a military doctor.

Military doctors have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, because there are many people in the army, like Li Zhuyuan, who didn't know the power of burning knives at first, so they suffered a lot.

The military doctor gave him a prepared pill and some plasters to stick on his neck and left.

After taking the pills and putting on the plaster, Li Zhuyuan felt much better, and his voice recovered a lot when he spoke, although he still sounded hoarse.

"Your Highness, I'm really ashamed today, I was so embarrassed by being tossed by a bowl of wine, please forgive me!" Li Zhuyuan said with a dejected expression.

Jiang Chuan suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so that Li Zhuyuan's face was inexplicable, and there was still a trace of resentment in his heart.

When Jiang Chuan stopped laughing, Su Qin, who was laughing and saying nothing, stepped forward to Li Zhuyuan and said, "Master Shangshu not only didn't lose his composure today, but he was quite manly. What His Royal Highness King Qin appreciates most in his life is Master Li who is both talented and knowledgeable. A man who has lost his masculinity. In the future, His Highness still has a lot to rely on on the important person, and I hope that the old man will not refuse when the time comes."

Regarding Su Qin's identity, Jiang Chuan didn't introduce much at first, only his name.But Li Zhuyuan naturally could see that this handsome and suave middle-aged scribe was the real confidant of Qin Wang Jiangchuan.

So after Su Qin's words made him stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly became pleasantly surprised, and he looked at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Yes, there are still many things to do in the future, and there are naturally many things that need to rely on Mr. Li. It's just that there are some things that I can't say now, but I think Mr. Li should understand the difficulties of this king in his heart. .”

Jiang Chuan's words are tantamount to recognizing Li Zhuyuan, and also sending him an invitation to recruit, which is tantamount to giving Li Zhuyuan enough face.

Li Zhuyuan was overjoyed, stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "Li Zhuyuan will definitely live up to His Highness' expectations."
