Chapter 389 You, my friend, I'm committed

Xu Wei invited Wang Qinian to the main hall of the Xu Mansion and treated him to tea.

Wang Qinian didn't drink tea, and said directly: "Master Xu, to tell you the truth, I have met Chen Chu today, and Chen Chu has changed from being depressed in the past, and has become high-spirited. The reason is simple. He went to the palace to see His Majesty today Now, His Majesty thought about what kind of promise he gave him, so he was so confident that he wanted to increase the price to 150 million guan temporarily. When my lord heard about this, let me tell you that tomorrow is my lord's meeting with Chen Chu. At that time, you have to go to court in the early morning... Come on, force His Majesty to put pressure on Chen Chu, and strive to get the West Datang Company over tomorrow."

After a pause, Wang Qinian added: "Master Xu, don't worry, as long as this is done, my lord will never treat you badly... You have been sitting in the position of censor for many years, it's time to move your position. There is a vacancy for the governor of the state, are you interested?"

Governor of the same state?

Hearing this, Xu Wei's eyes suddenly became hot.

The rank of Shi Yushi is not low, and he can be regarded as a senior member of the court.

It's a pity that he's just an admonisher, and he's useless except for rumors, and he has very little power.

But the governor of a state is different, he is the real official of the frontier.

As long as you seize the opportunity, you will be able to return to the court within a few years. Among other things, there is hope for a Shangshu.

Xu Wei clenched his fists.

I have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Xu Wei laughed, stared at Wang Qinian and said, "Tell King Jing that tomorrow, I will do my best."

"So, very good."

Wang Qinian was also very happy.

After Wang Qinian left.

Xu Wei called the housekeeper and ordered: "Go and invite Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ma, etc. immediately, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."

Not long after, more than a dozen officials gathered in the backyard of the Xu Mansion.

Among them, some are admonishers like Xu Wei, and some are friends of Xu Wei for many years.

There is only one purpose for everyone to gather together: to do Chen Chu.

As for the underlying reasons, it is more diverse.

Some people just want to be famous. After all, Chen Chu, who is capable of getting down on the ground, will definitely become famous in the future.These people all wanted to be as famous as Wei Zheng, and to be a strong admonisher.

Some simply wanted to do Chen Chu, because they looked down on the West Datang Company at the beginning, but they didn't expect that the West Datang Company would skyrocket later, and since they couldn't get it, they would destroy it.

Others shouted and cheered out of their personal relationship with Xu Wei.

As for Xu Wei, it was for profit.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Xu Wei looked around at the crowd, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, I heard that Chen Chu entered the palace today. When he went, he looked depressed, but when he left the palace, he was full of vigor. It seems that our majesty must have promised something. Tomorrow morning, the matter of taking back Chen Chu's fief and title will be very difficult, we must do our best and prepare in advance."

Everyone's expressions changed.

"Could it be that Your Majesty really wants to risk the displeasure of the world to protect Chen Chu?"

"It just doesn't make sense!"

"This is renegade!"

"Master Zhang be careful, cough cough..."

Everyone's reaction was very excited.

Xu Wei secretly laughed in his heart, this is what he wanted: "That's why I urgently invited you to the house. Tonight, we will discuss a countermeasure. At the same time, everyone will prepare a stern memorial. , let’s work hard tomorrow morning!”

"Okay, follow Master Xu's orders."

Next, it's some dirty deliberation.

……

……

The next morning.

The gate of the palace.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others are gathering together to chat.

Suddenly the air was quiet.

People turn back.

In the distance, Shi Yushi Xu Wei led more than a dozen ministers, holding memorials, and walked over arrogantly.

Great momentum!

Along the way, the ministers all made way for them.

When this group of people came forward, Changsun Wuji suddenly smiled and said: "Master Xu, it seems that you are going to fight to the end on that matter?"

Xu Wei held his head high and held his chest high, and said righteously: "Master Changsun's words are wrong. We are dedicated to serving the public, for the sake of the Tang community, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and even more so to prevent Your Majesty from being bewitched by traitors."

Changsun Wuji frowned: "Where did Master Xu say that? Now that the world is clear and bright, where did the villain come from?"

Xu Wei snorted coldly: "Of course it's those people who are shameless and colluded with Chen Chu."

Changsun Wuji's face turned ugly instantly.

At this time, there was a thunderous fury suddenly sounded from the side: "Dog thief, who do you say is a traitor?"

Xu Wei turned his head to look.

Cheng Yaojin stared at him angrily with wide eyes like copper bells.

As usual, Xu Wei must be very afraid of Cheng Yaojin, who is known as the devil incarnation.

But now, he has King Jing's backing, and he feels that he is sure to be released as the governor, so he has confidence.

Xu Wei sneered: "Naturally some people who are in league with Chen Chu, Lu Guogong, what are you doing looking at me like this, do you think you are a traitor..."

Not finished.

A fist as big as a casserole hit him in the face.

Xu Wei only felt dizzy for a while.

As soon as he raised his head, blood spurted out of his nose.

puff.

He fell to the ground with his buttocks, his head was dizzy and his face was bewildered.

Cheng Yaojin actually made a move?

"Ah, Duke Lu is beating someone!"

Someone yelled.

The people around Xu Wei rushed to help him and took out a handkerchief to wipe his nosebleed.

There are many people around watching.

But everyone stared at Xu Wei with half a smile.

No one stood up and spoke.

Xu Wei got up and gave Cheng Yaojin a cold look.

Just as the palace gate opened, everyone filed in.

……

at the same time.

A carriage stopped at the gate of Cuihua Building.

Chen Chu got off the carriage.

Wang Qinian immediately came forward and said with a smile: "Ping Xibo, the buyer has been waiting for a long time, please follow me."

"it is good!"

Wang Qinian took Chen Chu upstairs to a secluded private room on the third floor.

In the private room, there was already a man in black waiting for a long time.

When Chen Chu came in, the other party was standing by the window with his back to him, so he couldn't see him clearly.

At this time, the man in black suddenly turned around, laughed and said, "Chen Concubine, don't come here without any problems."

This person is Li Yuanjing, king of Jing.

Li Yuanjing already believed in his heart that Chen Chu's title would be taken back, so he didn't call Chen Chu Ping Xibo at all.

Chen Chu smiled lightly and said, "King Jing is very elegant."

Li Yuanjing stretched out his hand: "Please sit down."

Chen Chu sat down.

Li Yuanjing looked at Chen Chu and asked curiously, "Are you not surprised that the buyer is my king... Could it be that you have already guessed that it is my king?"

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Although I didn't guess it accurately, it's probably close to ten. There are only a handful of people who can bid a million dollars to acquire the Western Datang Company. Other powerful families have the strength, but they don't have the guts. Therefore, it is possible. There are even fewer people…”

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing burst out laughing.

"Chen Chu, oh Chen Chu, everyone said that you are extremely smart. I saw you today, and your reputation is well-deserved. Waiting for this matter, I must make good friends with you..."

Chen Chu nodded: "Okay, you friend, I'm sure."

……

Chapter 390 Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water

Chen Chu has always liked to make friends.

His friends, like Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda, are open-minded and eclectic.

There are also old silver coins like Changsun Wuji, but because they are tied to Chen Chu's interests, they will not mess around.

There are also people like Zheng Chengdong and Zheng Feiyuan from the Zheng family in Xingyang, who are arrogant and conceited, and they are full of tricks. Even so, Chen Chu still likes to be friends with them.Because this kind of person can bring Chen Chu a lot of benefits.

Jing Wang Li Yuanjing obviously did not realize this.

Hearing this, he laughed and said: "I didn't expect that Concubine Chen is also a man of temperament. Well, speaking of it, Princess Changle is still the niece of the king. You married her, and you and the king are also in the same family... Come, drink tea, This is a good tea that I entrusted someone to buy from thousands of miles away, please take a sip and have an endless aftertaste."

Chen Chu took a sip and nodded, "It's indeed good tea, King Jing, so let's stop making detours and get straight to the point."

Li Yuanjing put down the teacup, slapped the table, laughed and said: "Okay, refreshing, I like it, so I won't beat around the bush. I plan to buy the entire West Datang Company for 100 million yuan. At the same time, you From now on, Chen Chu will work in the West Datang Company, and my king will give you [-] guan every year, what do you think?"

This statement is similar to what Wang Qinian conveyed before.

Chen Chu stared at Li Yuanjing.

He saw greed, arrogance, and arrogance in Li Yuanjing's eyes.

Li Yuanjing, as Li Er's younger brother, is a full-fledged powerful man, and has connections with the Li family in Zhaojun, so he naturally has the capital to be proud of.

Chen Chu thought for a while, then shook his head: "King Jing, it seems that that guy named Wang Qinian hasn't conveyed my meaning yet. The reason why I, Chen Chu, haven't been an official in the imperial court until now is not because of lack of ability. It's not because no one appreciates it. The biggest reason is that I am an unrestrained person who likes freedom and dislikes restraint. Therefore, it is impossible for me to work for you. Also, West Datang Company can sell it, but the price is 150 million pennies, even a penny less is out of the question.”

Although Chen Chu spoke lightly, there was no doubt in his tone.

"Hahaha……"

Li Yuanjing laughed.

After laughing for a long time, he said seriously: "Chen Chu, Chen Chu, don't you really know that this king can't guess you? If this king guessed correctly, you must have promised you something when you entered the palace yesterday." Well, but, what I want to tell you is that early this morning, Shi Yushi Xu Wei and others have made preparations to persuade Brother Huang in the court today... By the way, an interesting incident happened early this morning. "

"Oh? I don't know what it is?" Chen Chu asked curiously.

Li Yuanjing explained: "This morning, just outside the gate of the palace, Duke Lu Cheng Zhijie beat Xu Wei in order to stand up for you."

Chen Chu's complexion changed.

Li Yuanjing strikes while the iron is hot, "Xu Wei is an admonisher. According to the practice of my Tang Dynasty, even if an admonitor said something disrespectful, he would not be guilty. Now, because of this small incident, the dignified imperial servant was beaten. Now, tell me, what do the ministers think, especially what do the admonishers at Yushitai think?"
