Chapter 741 Agreement
In the past half month, there has been a lot of traffic in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Because the Pingxian Tax Law was presented too suddenly, most of the ministers and ministers in the court did not receive any news in advance. They naturally rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion afterwards to see the situation, but their purposes were different.
Some people try to find out what's going on in order to plan for the future.
Some people visit simply to show their loyalty.
There are also some people who made a special trip to say goodbye.
Although they felt the support of the Prime Minister, as the seriously injured censor in front of the hall said that day, "if the war breaks out, more than tens of thousands of civilians will be killed or injured." This is already their biggest compromise.
As the highest-ranking person in the prime minister's mansion after the prime minister's retreat, Xu Yuan had taken the time to meet with many important ministers these days, but this was the first time he came to the gate of the mansion to greet him in person like today.
The moonlight fell, and the heavy door slowly opened.
Li Zhaoyuan, who was waiting quietly in the carriage in front of the door, looked sideways when he heard the sound, and saw that the main door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was open. Surprised.
As the second imperial palace in the capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion must have rules and regulations. Although he entered the capital with great momentum, on the surface he was still just a concubine prince. In his heart, he was already prepared to be humiliated by the three sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion again. But he didn't expect that the other party would directly give him such high courtesy.
After calming down the strange eyes, after getting off the carriage, Li Zhaoyuan saluted calmly as he looked at the handsome young man who had already arrived in front of the carriage. Tonight, he was not wearing a python robe, but a blue and white Xuanwen costume, and his behavior revealed a leisurely calmness:
"Visiting late at night, the courtesy is not very good. I hope the third son will pay attention."
Xu Yuan raised his hands and folded them in return, saying:
"Your Highness is joking, please come in."
After the guests have finished the ceremony, they enter the house together.
The bright and clear light of the full moon spreads everywhere.
Following Xu Yuan, Li Zhaoyuan glanced at the empty corridor of the box courtyard without leaving any trace.
There should have been many visitors to the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, but along the way, no one from the staff or outside visitors was seen.
He waited at the door for only half a moment before Xu Changtian emptied the crowd and came to greet him in person
Time has passed, has it finally changed?
"Your Highness, do you think it's strange?"
Walking in the cold water pavilion courtyard, Xu Yuan's calm voice suddenly sounded: "You think I, Xu Changtian, would treat you with such courtesy?"
The moonlight night is quiet, and the footsteps echo.
Li Zhaoyuan replied:
"Such attention to courtesy really makes Gu Shou a little flattered."
Xu Yuan looked back and asked half-jokingly:
"Then if I humiliate you as always, will Your Highness still tolerate it as before?"
Li Zhaoyuan also laughed when he heard this:
"Third Young Master, won't you know if you try it?"
When Xu Yuan heard this answer, he waved his hand:
"Your Majesty's decision to let you enter the capital is almost a clear sign. Times have changed, and neither you nor I can act the way we did before. We always have to consider the consequences."
Li Zhaoyuan pondered for a moment and said leisurely:
"If you, Third Young Master, are like you are today, I will still tolerate you."
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and said:
"I know, but does this mean anything? People like you won't care about such an obvious insult. With my current status, if I really do such a childish thing, I'm afraid it will make you laugh, right?"
Li Zhaoyuan was silent for a while and said:
"Third Young Master, you have really changed a lot. When I was in the north, I saw you as a general, but today when I meet you, you are already a commander. You can actually calm down your emotions when facing extremely evil people."
Hearing the soft nails in these words, Xu Yuan didn't care at all:
"As we approach the top of the mountain, you have changed a lot. However, your words are so direct. It's not easy for me to accept your words."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan changed the subject and said:
"Calculate the time, Your Highness, you should have come straight to look for me as soon as you entered the city. Why don't you go back to the palace first to have a look?"
Li Zhaoyuan replied falsely:
"On my way to the palace, I thought I would pay you a visit first."
Xu Yuan stood still, directly exposed the other party's politeness, and asked:
"By the way? Your Highness was stationed in the north of the city, and the prime minister's palace is located in the south of the palace. Why, your Highness entered the capital from the south gate today? There is no need to be polite between you and me. If you have anything to say, please say it directly. I am very busy. ”
When Li Zhaoyuan heard this, he raised his eyes and stared at Xu Yuan for a moment, and said:
"In this case, Nagu is no longer polite.
"Third Young Master, I know that you hate me, so my visit tonight is to heal the rift between you and me."
"Is it necessary?"
The tide has turned. Even if he, Xu Yuan, hates Li Zhaoyuan, he still has to endure it, just like Li Zhaoyuan endured his slaps and endured the pain of being forced to eat his beloved.
Li Zhaoyuan smiled casually and said:
"The Pingxian Tax Law has reached all parts of Great Yan, and the situation no longer allows the emperor to fight. You and I have always been hostile, which will eventually affect the overall situation."
Xu Yuan listened to the other party's admission that he was about to ascend the throne and said:
"If that's the case, it won't be too late to come look for me again after you take the throne as prince."
"." The words fell into silence.
Li Zhaoyuan stood up with a sigh, bowed his hands to Xu Yuan, and was about to turn around and leave.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and called out to the other party:
"Ready to leave?"
Li Zhaoyuan said with serious eyes:
"I only believe what the young master said. I am taking the liberty of visiting you tonight."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan raised the corners of his lips and said calmly:
"Such pretentiousness is not what a prince should have. Now that you are here, let's talk and listen. I would like to see what you propose to bridge the gap between you and me."
Li Zhaoyuan thought for a moment and said softly:
"Third Young Master, you and Qing Yan were assassinated in battle alone."
Xu Yuan's eyes were calm and he said:
"Why bother mentioning such bad news again?"
Li Zhaoyuan ignored Xu Yuan and continued to talk to himself:
"So, Gu can give you, Third Young Master, a chance."
"." Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this.
"An opportunity to assassinate Gu without being held accountable by the royal family."
"."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes finally flashed with surprise, and he smiled strangely:
"Your Highness, what has happened now is such false talk."
"I don't mean to be a joke, and I have already received my father's permission for this matter."
Li Zhaoyuan spoke extremely calmly, as if what he described did not affect his own life: "A country is easy to change, and one's nature is hard to change. I only know the temperament of the Third Young Master, and I am willing to take this risk for the sake of my future plans."
Xu Yuan smiled softly when he heard this:
"No matter what the means?"
"Whatever the means."
"In other words, I can kill you now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the opportunities around Xu Yuan began to surge, and his spiritual vision directly locked onto Li Zhaoyuan in front of him.
Li Zhaoyuan also seemed to feel something, but his expression did not change at all. The energy around him also began to rise, and he looked directly into Xu Yuan's eyes:
"Third Young Master, I hope you will be careful. You only have one chance."
"."
Looking at each other for a few breaths, Xu Yuan dispersed the technique with a smile and said:
"You have good courage, but I hate you, isn't it just because of that assassination?"
"Is it because of those tens of millions of common people?"
Li Zhaoyuan's reaction was quick, but at the same time, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he asked leisurely:
"If this is the case, the Third Young Master has no reason to hate Gu Gu. The process of the rise of power is always bloody. This is the case with Gu, the father is the same, and the Prime Minister is the same. The Young Master will not think that the source of power in the Prime Minister's Mansion has not been contaminated by the common people. Blood, right? In the Tarchao Rebellion forty years ago, the Prime Minister was the mastermind behind the two rivers bursting their banks half a century ago, and there were countless strategies with less casualties. The total number of casualties among these common people was more than tens of millions?
"Gu, my father, and the prime minister all do it for what they want in their hearts. If the young master hates me, then he should hate those two as well!"
One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither.
Today's imperial power and prime ministerial power are built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Of course Xu Yuan knew this.
He took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Your Highness, what is the wish of my father and the Holy One, and what is the wish of yours?
"This is the essence of why I hate you."
"Okay, I will accept the opportunity you gave me. If you can survive, then I will join hands with you to determine the sect!"
"Mu Xi, see off the guests!"
