Capital Datang

In the study room of Prince Qi's Mansion, Li Min was reclining on a fur-covered bed. It was already midwinter, the cold wind was blowing non-stop, and the weather was extremely gloomy. Although a stove was installed in the study room, It made the room very warm, but because of his weakness, Li Min was still covered with a blanket, and there was a few mouthfuls of hot soup next to him.

However, Li Yin did not come to the study to recuperate his illness. He is looking up and down at the two people standing in front of him with great interest. The leader is a gray-haired old man who looks to be in his 60s. With three long beards, he looks very elegant.The other person, Li Yin, met several times and knew that the other party was Lu Hong's father, named Lu You, who served as Shangshu Youcheng in Shangshu Province.

Just had breakfast this morning, Chapter 190 I don't agree to any of your conditions!The two people in front of him came to visit, and Li Yin had been waiting for them for a long time, so as soon as he received the news, he immediately summoned them in the study. At the same time, he often knew the old man in front of him from Lu You's introduction just now. , it was Lu Zuo, the patriarch of Fan Yang's Lu family, who came here today because of the grievances between their Lu family and the Qi Palace.

"Mr. Lu has come all the way, and he has worked so hard to visit the mansion. The king should have greeted him in person, but it is a pity that Li Min has just recovered from a serious illness and is weak. He has to meet the two of you here. It is really rude. Mr. Wanwang Forgive me a lot!" Li Yin said it very politely, but there was still a faint expression on his face, and he didn't show any expression of apology at all.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is too polite. I am a commoner, and I took the liberty to visit today. It is an honor for me to be received by His Royal Highness when he is sick. I really dare not take the word 'forgiveness'!" Zuo was extremely enthusiastic.There was a constant smile on his face when he spoke, and he seemed to be really flattered.Capital Datang 190

Damn, the acting skills are so good, why don't you make a movie!Li Yin looked at the other party's flawless expression, and cursed secretly in his heart.I "forced" Mrs. Lu to the point where I am now Chapter 190 I will not agree to any of the conditions you put forward! , It is estimated that the old man Lu Zuolu would like to eat himself raw.But if you look at their expressions, you can be as polite as you can, without the slightest trace of fireworks.It can be said that this kind of person has almost integrated acting skills into his life, not only can he deceive others.Sometimes you can even fool yourself.

Compared with Lu Zuo, Li Yin's concentration and acting skills are much worse, so no matter how false he is, he can't take advantage of it, and now the initiative is on his side, so he directly said: "Old Mr. Lu, My king is not in good health and cannot receive outsiders for a long time, if you have nothing important to do, please come back!"

Lu Zuo and Lu You are both good people.Seeing that Li Yin didn't play cards according to the routine, he knew that the other party wanted them to speak first, but usually the person who spoke first often lost momentum, especially in such occasions like negotiations.

"His Royal Highness, it's actually not a big deal. It's just that the old man has a nephew named Lu Hong who has already been engaged to Mrs. Cui. He should have gotten married three years ago, but unfortunately Yes, his mother just passed away, so he kept mourning at home for three years. Some time ago, the filial piety period just expired, and he wanted to hold the wedding a year ago, so the old man rushed to Chang'an. wedding!"

Lu Zuo deserves to be an actor-level character, he can speak so vividly in the vernacular, and his expression is very cooperative. When it comes to Lu Hong's mother's death, there is a trace of sadness on his face, and when it comes to the wedding, the old man's face is full of sadness. There was a hint of joy again, and the performance can be said to be excellent in spirit and form.

Seeing the other party using this method to provoke him to speak first, Li Yin smiled coldly. In fact, he didn't care about this at all, because with his current advantage, he didn't need to care about these little negotiating tricks at all.

"Old Mr. Lu deserves to be from the Lu family of Fan Yang. He can tell lies without changing his face. This junior really admires him!" Li Min lazily circled around, satirizing Fan Yang's Lu family by the way, and then spoke again. Said, "You and I know what happened this time, let's make your terms!"

Seeing that Li Yin finally spoke first, Lu Zuo and Lu You looked at each other, and they were both relieved. They were already in a passive position. Li Yin was completely led by the nose.

"His Royal Highness King Qi is indeed a straightforward person. Since you said so, the old man is not impolite." Lu Zuo suddenly put away his smiling face, and stood up straight, with the aura of a superior immediately Emerging, now he is the real patriarch of the Lu clan, "Regarding this matter, no matter who is right or wrong, but there is one fact that cannot be changed, that is, I, the Lu clan, have already been engaged to the Cui clan. If His Highness really wants that woman from the Cui family, he must go through our Lu family to divorce her, otherwise you will never get her!"

As soon as Lu Zuo changed the style of his speech just now, there were bones everywhere in his words, obviously trying to use Cui Mengxue's matter to take the initiative of this negotiation from Li Yin.

"You're threatening me!" Li Yin's face darkened after hearing this, and his voice became a little low, obviously aroused by the other party's performance.

"Your Highness, the old man is just reminding you of a fact!" Lu Zuo replied without giving in.

Li Yin stared at the other party's old eyes for a long time, then suddenly showed an unexpected smile, and said in a talkative tone: "Okay, this is indeed a fact, then please ask Mr. Lu to release himself now." conditions!"

Lu Zuo was taken aback when he saw Li Yin's performance. He never expected that the other party would "succumb" so easily. This is obviously too abnormal!And the other party's expression didn't look passive at all, it looked like he was playing a monkey.

Although this feeling was extremely bad, Lu Zuo had no other choice, so he looked at Li Yin suspiciously and said, "Your Highness, our request is not too much, I just hope that you will be in Youzhou, Yizhou, etc. The textile factories in several places have all been withdrawn. As for the losses caused by the relocation of these factories, our Lu family will pay part of the compensation. In addition, for the emerging textile industry, our Lu family will account for one-third of the share, and In the future, there must be a seat for our Lu family in the Carbon Coal Industry Association, at least let us get the same treatment as the Taiyuan Wang family!"

When Lu Zuo put forward his three demands, he kept staring at Li Yin, trying to see something from the other party's face, but unfortunately, Li Yin always had an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, which made people feel uncomfortable. I can't figure out what he is thinking at all?

In order to get Li Yin to agree to his own conditions, Lu Zuo continued to say: "As long as Your Highness agrees to these three conditions of our Lu family, then we will not only divorce immediately, but also stop the suppression of industry and commerce. Believe it. , the pressure on His Highness will definitely be much less!"

The purpose of Lu Zuo's coming to Chang'an this time is not just because of this divorce, the real purpose is to use this divorce to reach a settlement with Li Yin, and to withdraw from the suppression of industry and commerce as a prerequisite in exchange for certain benefits After all, the five surnames and Qiwang have already fallen behind in the suppression of industry and commerce. Instead of holding on like this, it is better to win Li Yin's understanding first, and get out of it to achieve the goal of protecting the family.

really!After hearing this, Li Yin fixed his gaze, and unnaturally glanced at the screen in the study.Although these aristocratic families are known as heirs of poems and books, they are essentially a group of selfish ghosts who put the interests of the family first. No matter what the situation is, as long as it is beneficial to the family, they will do it without hesitation, even if it is for this reason. Let others bear the heavy price.Capital Datang 190

"If you, Mrs. Lu, want to withdraw from the suppression of industry and commerce, aren't you afraid that you will be isolated and spurned by the great families of Cui, Li, Zheng, and Wang in the future?" Li Min was noncommittal to the conditions proposed by Mrs. Lu, but asked such a sentence with a smile Come on.

"Your Highness, why do you need to ask?" Lu Zuo didn't seem to hear the irony in Li Yin's words at all, and said without changing his face, "It is said that a person who knows current affairs is a hero. Although I, Lu Zuo, am not talented, I can also Seeing the world's major events clearly, the climate of industry and commerce has become established now, coupled with the guidance of the dragon and phoenix among people like His Highness, it is no longer something we, the big families like the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, can suppress. Instead of carrying it so hard, it is better to follow The current situation, plan for the family early!"

When Lu Zuo said these words, his face was taken for granted, and he did not show a half-ashamed expression for betraying other families. It seems that in his concept, he really puts the interests of the family in the highest position. Everything like that was thrown aside by him.

"Oh? Since you, Mrs. Lu, can see the general trend of the world clearly, then I have a question that I can't figure out." When Li Yin said this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he stared at the other party fiercely. He asked, "When the king was passing through Weizhou, why did your Lu family send people to attack the king's fleet?"

Lu Zuo was already prepared, because he knew from Lu Hong that Li Yin had already guessed that it was their Lu family who sent people to attack his fleet, so he didn't seem surprised, and still said with a smile: "Your Highness, We are all smart people, why are you so fussy about these trivial things? You must know that the attack was just a show, and it would not hurt you at all. The old man is willing to lose!"

Li Yin looked at the other party's indifference, and really wanted to slap him to death. Hundreds of people died that day, but in the other party's mouth, it turned out to be just a scene, and Wen Xin and the others were also frightened at that time. Xi Jun is also pregnant, if she is scared out of her wits, then her first child will be lost.

Thinking of this, a nameless anger suddenly surged up in Li Yin's heart, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Very good, it was indeed a good show, and the conditions proposed by Mr. Lu are also very attractive, but It's a pity that I don't agree to any of the conditions you put forward!" rq! ! !
