Chapter 180: The Bent Can Be Straight (Part 2)
When I entered the study, I saw that it was not as small as Su Chen thought, but it was not much larger. But four or five people could still hold on, of course, the premise was that the books that were neatly laid out.
"Meet Your Highness, King Jin."
Just as Su Chen stepped into the house, he saw an old man with gray hair and looking like he was in his twilight years, sitting listlessly on the chair, and next to the chair was a chair. However, from the position of the chair, it is not difficult to guess that there is no such chair on weekdays.
"Mr. Yuan has a lot of books here." Su Chen thought for a long time and felt that he was here to discuss things, and maybe he was going to have a stumble, so there was no need to pretend to be literary and artistic, and said casually.
As he said that, he walked towards the empty chair.
"Xuanling, you go out." Master Yuan smiled weakly on his face, then looked at the young man again and said.
"Yes." The young man replied respectfully and then left the study.
Xuanling? Su Chen paused in his heart when he heard this name. It seemed very familiar, but he couldn't remember it. However, he was already sure that this young man was not an ordinary person because Su Chen knew his historical level and remembered that he was the one who often mentioned it. Since he is so familiar with the name of this young man now, he must be a celebrity. Anyone who has an impression of his name in his mind is a powerful person. Even if he is a corrupt official, this is Su Chen's definition of finding a great man.
"This child is from Qizhou, Sui... I won't say it anymore. Today, Caomin is looking for the palace down for two things." Master Yuan said proudly when he saw Su Chen looking at the direction of his disciples going out, but halfway through the speech, he realized that it was boring to say this, so he went straight to the point.
Su Chen nodded. From the old man's words, he could tell that even if he did not have the same thing today, he would meet him. Moreover, seeing that the old man is now not pretending to be sick, but really not able to do so.
"Ahem, Your Highness, Caomin is here to thank you on behalf of the people of the whole city." Master Yuan forced himself to sit up straight and wanted to stand up, but was powerless, so he had to sit on the chair and bow slightly to Su Chen and said.
After hearing this, Su Chen thought about it and realized that it was nothing more than thanking the soldiers for not letting them do something bad, so he waved his hand and said, "It should be, after all, everything here is my Great Sui. There is no need to do anything else, otherwise the money I Great Sui will lose."
Master Yuan smiled, leaned back again to make himself feel more comfortable, and said, "Your Highness has the appearance of a true dragon."
When Su Chen heard this, he replied, "Has the old man learned physiognomy?"
Master Yuan shook his head and said, "I just saw some occasionally on the tree, and it's not considered learning."
Su Chen nodded. He was waiting. The old man told him what happened today. Anyone who spoke first would be unfavorable to him, so Su Chen did not intend to say it himself.
"I, cough cough cough cough cough." At this moment, Master Yuan suddenly started to cough and looked very uncomfortable.
Su Chen couldn't help but stand up, walked to Master Yuan, and slowly followed his back, but he still said in his heart that he was still too soft.
Master Yuan coughed for a while, his face slightly improved, and he said weakly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that he stopped coughing and his face improved a little, Su Chen returned to his position and said, "What is the second thing the old man said?"
"The Caomin wants to ask Your Highness for a few things, and I also ask Your Highness to agree." Master Yuan said begging. If he hadn't had his body weak, he would have knelt down at Su Chen.
But Su Chen was stunned. What's the matter? His grandson was killed. It would be fine if he didn't mention it at all, but he didn't expect to ask for anything.
"Please agree with your highness." Master Yuan said weakly again.
"Tell me." Su Chen decided to listen first.
"Your Highness, please let go of those ministers who were originally loyal and loyal to Nanchen." Master Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly.
After saying that, he looked at Su Chen's face and continued, "Your Highness is kind to the people of Southern Chen. You also ask your Highness to leave a bloodline for the Chen family. You also ask your Highness to kill Zhang Lihua, the witch. You also ask your Highness to govern the country with kindness."
In one breath, Master Yuan made several requests, and Su Chen was depressed.
To be honest, he couldn't agree to anything in these matters, because he was a prince now, and he had to listen to Yang Jian's everything. Yang Jian said he wanted to kill these people, or was unhappy and wanted to train Chen Shubao. He really had no choice.
"If Your Highness agrees to these things, the people will give you generous gifts." Master Yuan saw the expression on Su Chen's face and knew that he was hesitating and said.
This old man could not have known that he was not really in power, but why did he tell him these things.
"Old man, it's not that I don't agree, but that you still have to listen to my father's words." Su Chen said honestly.
Master Yuan smiled and said, "Your Highness is Sui and the Emperor's second son. It's not that there is no chance, but everything takes time. Moreover, there are many powerful generals around you, and there will be no shortage of counselors. If Your Highness really wants a certain position, it's just a blink of an eye, let alone the current prince is mediocre and incompetent, and the emperor cannot like it. If it weren't for the identity of the eldest son, he would be just a prince now."
This old man is amazing, but he is helping him find a position, so he still wants to express something. And he said that there will be no shortage of strategists, uncle, what I lack is strategists around me.
"Among many princes, Yang Liang and Yang Jun are the most outstanding and are deeply loved by the emperor, but Your Highness has the benefits of His Highness. First, Your Highness is in the capital for many years and often visits Empress Dugu in the palace. In Empress Dugu's heart, it is far superior to the other princes. Second, Your Highness is a great achievement in destroying me, Nanchen, which is even more loved by the emperor. And there is no need to say much about rewards. Moreover, Your Highness has already gained prestige among these hundreds of thousands of troops in this battle. This is the most important thing. Third, Your Highness can win the hearts of the people." Master Yuan said weakly.
After hearing this, Su Chen laughed. The old man said that he could become the emperor very smoothly. Although he was telling the truth, he was too optimistic. Not to mention the group of ministers around the prince, that is, Yang Jian. Yang Jian is still alive and he heard that he is preparing to take a concubine.
But I have to admit that this old man is very good at talking, but Su Chen likes this.
"What is the gift you are talking about?" Su Chen thought for a while and decided to listen to what the gift was.
"Host Su Chen, the mission [Discussion of the Great Scholar] was cancelled."
…
"Host Su Chen, obtained the task [Complete Master Yuan's Prayer]"
…
Just after hearing the system's words, Su Chen couldn't help but look back at the silver-haired girl standing behind him. What's going on? Isn't this forcibly asking him to agree to Master Yuan's prayer?
"My reputation." Master Yuan said lightly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. Registered Literature Members recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
