The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 111

Li Ru grabbed Cui Zaihou's arm and walked straight into the mansion.

The two sat opposite each other in front of a table in the study. After the servants brought hot soup, Li Ru casually waved the servants of Cui's mansion away, and immediately stretched out his hand to ask, "Wait, please."

Seeing Li Ru's frequent courtesies, Cui Zaihou probably recalled it, and thought: "If you don't have anything to offer courtesies, it's either adultery or robbery."

Suddenly he heard Li Ru calling him to drink soup, so Cui Zaihou quickly said with a smile on his face, "Ah, yes, please, Wenyou, please."

The two of them were separated by a small table, drinking hot soup with their heads full of thoughts, and no one spoke first for a while.

After a long time.

Li Ru silently put down the rather delicate pottery lamp, casually picked up a topic, and said, "I've heard about Wufu Minfeng in Lelang County for a long time, and seeing it today, it really deserves its reputation."

With a smile on his face, Li Ru played with the Tao Zhan in his hand, and continued: "Lelang's land is fertile. If you encourage the people to reclaim wasteland, you can use it as a logistics granary for our Han army. I don't know what you think?"

Cui Zaihou heard the words, nodded deeply, and said: "Wenyou's words are very true. Lelang's land is fertile and rich in products. There are more than [-] people. If you can make it reclaim wasteland, after two years, only With the land of Lelang, it can support fifty thousand troops."

Li Ru grasped the mistakes and omissions in Cui Zaihou's words very keenly, but saw that his face suddenly sank, squinted his cold eyes, looked directly into Cui Zaihou's eyes, and said in a strange way: "As far as I know, Le Lang There are nearly 30 Dingkou, why did Cui Da and others conceal Dingkou? But do you have a second heart with my master?"

"No no no."

Cui Zaihou was startled, waved his hands again and again and said: "Wen You misunderstood, I have no intention of deceiving you."

"From the moment I led the Han army into the city, I have no way out. Now I only have the heart to serve the Lord conscientiously, and I dare not give birth to two hearts."

When Cui Zaihou spoke, his forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, which was obviously caused by nervousness.

Li Ru let out a long sigh pretending to be helpless, arched his hands to Cui Zaihou, and said: "Le Lang is newly attached, and the forces in the county are intertwined. In this sensitive period, Ru has to be more cautious before acting, and I hope you will wait a lot." Forgive me."

Cui Zaihou grasped the key points in Li Ru's words very keenly. He silently exchanged glances with Li Ru, and said straight to the point: "I already know what Wenyou is worried about."

Cui Zaihou told all the things he knew in one breath like pouring beans into a bamboo tube: "The children of the noble families in the county are mostly trapped in the North Korean city at the moment. It should not be too late, if he is lucky enough to escape from the North Korean city, then the Han army may have to worry about the future."

Seeing Cui Zaihou being so frank, Li Ru felt a little embarrassed, but saw him smile awkwardly, and said blushingly: "In everything, one must pay attention to the teacher's reputation. Although the Han sword is powerful, it never cuts innocent people."

As Li Ru said, he suddenly cast a look at Cui Zaihou that you know, and immediately picked up the pottery cup on the table, and continued to drink sullenly.

Cui Zaihou nodded silently, and sighed: "I have done all the bad things, and now I don't want to miss the last one. I just hope that the superior can read my loyalty to the big man and let my whole family survive."

"The lord once said in public that Cui Da is equal to the country's meritorious service. After the war is settled, he must give a reward."

After a few cases, Li Ru respected Cui Zai and said: "My lord has always treated people with benevolence and righteousness. You just need to put your heart in your stomach."

For the sake of safety, Li Ru deliberately concealed Liu Bian's true identity, thinking that it would not be too late to tell the truth after everything in Lelang County was completely settled.

"What a benevolent and righteous person."

Cui Zaihou secretly let out a helpless wry smile.

Li Ru and Cui Zaihou conspired for a long time in Cui Mansion's study, until the third watch, Li Ru left Cui Mansion accompanied by Lei Wanchun, and went to Hanwang Palace to report to Liu Bian.

Silent all night.

The next day.

The sky is bright.

Cui Zaihou went straight to Hanwang Palace in the car given by Liu Bian's relatives and asked for an audience.

After a long time.

Li Ru was ordered to bring Cui Zaihou to Liu Bian.

I have to say here that Li Ru is definitely an all-rounder. It is really difficult for him to play the role of eunuch occasionally while devoting himself to counseling Liu Bian.

The reason for entering the palace for an audience has already been discussed in advance, and now it is just going through the procedure as usual. After entering the palace, Cui Zaihou immediately took out a bundle of bamboo slips from his sleeve and asked Li Ru to present it to Liu Bian on his behalf, saying: " A minister who has committed a crime, there is something to announce."

Seeing this, Liu Bian quickly got up and raised his hands to support him, "You don't need to be polite, just speak up if you have something to say."

Liu Bian made a good posture. Seeing this, Cui Zaihou silently took a look at Liu Bian who was in the upper position. This was the first time he observed Liu Bian closely. The power of the Han army on both sides of the gate did not dare to look up at Liu Bian.

Now Cui Zaihou has finally seen Liu Bian's true face in Mount Lu, he couldn't help but gasped when he saw it, and said in his heart: "I thought that the general of the Han army should be a mature and prudent person, but he didn't expect to be a brat. little doll."

Cui Zaihou lowered his head silently to hide the shock on his face, and said in his heart: "Sanhan's hundreds of years of foundation was destroyed by a youthful young man, it's too unbelievable. Who will believe it?"

When he saw Liu Bian's slightly green face for the first time, Cui Zaihou couldn't help feeling a little contempt in his heart, just like he despised King Han who was over 20 years old.

However, when Yu Wencheng, who was nearly ten feet tall and wearing a golden helmet, returned to the palace in person, after seeing Yuwen Chengdu's respectful attitude towards Liu Bian, he immediately dispelled the sudden arousal in his heart. Wipe the meaning of contempt.

With the successive arrival of Han Dang, Nan Jiyun, and Lei Wanchun, Cui Zaihou's attitude towards Liu Bian became more humble.

Holding the bamboo slips in his hand, Liu Bian flipped through them silently for a long time, then leaned forward slightly, condescendingly looked down at Cui Zaihou, who was standing silently in the hall, looking somewhat reserved, and said in a deep voice, "You mean the nobles of the three Han countries are in private contact, Deliberate rebellion?"

Cui Zaihou heard the words, quickly bowed to Liu Bian, nodded and said: "Jin, Li, Pu, Cui, except for the sinners, all the children of the four major families participated."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly asked, "Whether King Han is involved?"

Hearing this, Cui Zaihou raised his head and looked at Liu Bian silently, and asked in a low voice with a little hesitation: "To participate or not to participate?"

Although Cui Zaihou deliberately lowered his voice when speaking, in the empty hall, any sound made would be amplified several times by the echoes in the hall. Fortunately, everyone in the hall at this moment is Liu Bian's confidant. Will go out, will definitely make people laugh.

Seeing this, Li Ru quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to help Cui Zaihou out of the siege, saying: "The King of Han has a benevolent temperament. Now that he has surrendered to the lord, he will definitely not do anything against the lord."

What Li Ru said about King Han's temperament is kind, but to put it bluntly, he has a cowardly temperament.

Cui Zaihou had never dealt with Liu Bian before, so he really couldn't figure out what Liu Bian was thinking.

Liu Bian asked this question for the purpose of getting Cui Zaihou to choose Han Wang out of this incident. As a result, Cui Zaihou overturned on the spot. Fortunately, his sincere friend Li Ru took the initiative to help him out of the siege. Choi Jaehou wouldn't be too embarrassed.
