Chapter 139 The wily old fox
"In their hands, it is a trick to deceive the people; in our hands, that is the anti-counterfeiting technology that benefits the country and the people!" Xi Yu defended.
Lan Honghao felt that what he said was very reasonable. He didn't expect that they could find and apply such unknown secrets. Who can say that they were careless and who can say that they just came up with an idea?
He looked up at Xi Yuanzhi who was still kneeling on the ground and trusted for half his life. He was suspicious of Shi Dun and Qi Guangzhi's deception of the emperor. Is he aware of the matter of whether he knew about it or...
Since Lan Honghao declined, Xi Yuanzhi followed him and helped him, the unpopular prince ascend to the throne. He was deeply trusted and was assigned to the most important position in the Tianqi Kingdom.
Seeing his expression, Xi Yuanzhi guessed the meaning of his eyes.
He immediately kowtowed devoutly and said: "Your Majesty, the old man has followed Your Majesty for decades. His Majesty knows the best about his life. The old man has never given any preferential treatment to his descendants. He relies on their own abilities to serve His Majesty and Tianqiguo in their respective positions!
Unexpectedly, Qi Guangzhi saw that I, a concubine, was not favored, dared to act boldly and deceive my superiors and hide his subordinates, and seized the merits that should have belonged to him! Please give up the crime of reprimanding the old minister's crime of dereliction of duty!"
If it weren't for the wrong position of this, Xiao Tao would have liked to applaud him! This pushed Qi Guangzhi, who had died of great success, into the abyss of sin. He became a loyal minister who did not use his power and used his power for personal gain!
Xi Yu pursed his lips tightly. He had been sunny and bright, his face became a little cold, as if he had suffered all the grievances but he didn't want to speak out!
Xiaotao saw it, but did not say anything about taking advantage of the situation. After all, she is still under the name of Xi Yu's concubine. If she really does that, she will be scolded by others!
After all, this man Xi Yu did not speak out to stop him. What qualifications are he qualified to speak out like this fake?
Lan Honghao had some doubts about Xi Yuanzhi. After all, Qi Guangzhi was not a real fool. How could he risk offending a minister and steal the credit from his grandson?
But after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but think of the past. He would rather let his descendants waste their time at a low level than let him reward his descendants with high level official positions.
"So, even Shi Dun was blinded by him?" Lan Honghao had already believed his words after weighing the pros and cons.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xi Yuanzhi didn't say yes, nor did he say no. Anyway, it was all said by the emperor. He just made a compliment, which was not a big deal, but he obviously succeeded in escaping the blame for his confidant subordinates!
"I was puzzled. It was clearly an order from the Ministry of Revenue that Jiu Ye did not have to go to the yamen to work, but was studying how to quickly raise funds and persevere in the mansion? How could Lord Shi be deceived?" Xiao Tao really couldn't see them talking lies with their eyes open, and immediately asked back with a pure and ignorant look.
"I had already asked the left minister Shi Dun last night. It was his task assigned to Qi Guangzhi. But he couldn't think of it, so he remembered Mu Bai's intelligence and talent. He deceived his superiors and subordinates and transferred his responsibilities to Mu Bai, and held him in the mansion and refused to let him go to the yamen. He was afraid that the news would leak out." Xi Yuanzhi looked heartbroken.
Qi Guangzhi was originally the one who pulled him into the jar with Shi Dun! If he succeeded, he would not be able to make much credit for him; if he failed, he would be the best scapegoat!
Xi Yu secretly pinched Xiao Tao's palm and signaled that Xiao Tao would not need to pursue it anymore. It was obvious that they had already made confessions, and now Qi Guangzhi was also killed and silenced. I am afraid that there will be no more right or wrong in this matter!
Moreover, his goal has been achieved. It is better to slowly replace him than to defeat Xi Yuanzhi, who is deeply rooted in the emperor's heart, so that he can be proud of his status and status for so many years, and it is even more heartbreaking!
"So that's it, you get up! Go back and take a break first!" After Lan Honghao explained to him, he began to ask Xi Yu and Xiao Tao other questions, how to pass on information, how to make anti-counterfeiting logos, etc.
"We can use carrier pigeons to convey messages! This last anti-counterfeiting process must be done by death row prisoners so that secrets will not be leaked..." Xi Yu and Xiao Tao alternately explained some matters to Lan Honghao.
Xi Yuanzhi looked at them with deep eyes. Because his legs were numb after kneeling for a long time, he had to stagger away from the imperial study room.
After leaving the room and looking back, the imperial study room was still the original imperial study room, but once upon a time... I was the one who was finally left by the emperor to discuss the important matters of the country and plot secret matters. Now... has changed!
It was not until the time when the palace gate was placed, that Xi Yu and Xiao Tao were released from the palace by the emperor who were still unsatisfied.
Until he got into the carriage prepared by four liang, Xi Yu felt as if he was floating in the clouds and fog. He felt that all this was so unreal. He could actually come to the front of the Lord of Nine Five and express his ideals and ambitions!
All of this is because of her fortunately, she has the opportunity to rise so quickly! I didn’t expect that I and her could complement each other and study such complex and cumbersome solutions and implement them in details.
"Your Majesty praised me just now, and said that I will definitely have a bright future in the future. How about we go back and buy some wine and food to celebrate?" Xi Yu asked excitedly.
"You are very brave and dare to celebrate. You should be wary of your good grandfather. I pray that he will not be angry for a moment and give you a 'crack', right?" Xiao Tao knew that he was also happy for a moment. He was not such a frivolous person on weekdays, so he reminded him jokingly.
"No, I am at the forefront of the storm. Your Majesty has many places to use me. He dare not risk the great deeds of the world and pay the lives of his entire mansion. If he kills me, His Majesty will never let him go." Xi Yu said affirmatively.
"By the way, your grandfather is really a scheming old fox! He prepared a scapegoat in advance and picked himself and the Shi Shi Shi!
You have to learn a little, don’t mess around every day, it’s time for you to be proud! Now the emperor is just asking you to temporarily take over the management of this national chain of money houses, you have to work hard to remove the word “temporary” and become a real person in power.
When you achieve your achievements, you will no longer have to worry about your grandfather’s persecution!” Xiao Tao said in a nagging way.
"I'm right, but I still have to wait until Your Majesty has handled the transfer of personnel from all aspects before I can start planning how to cultivate snob!" Xi Yu said with great enthusiasm.
He changed his previous depressed and unsuccessful appearance and exuded a kind of vitality.
"My biggest gain today is to ask for the emperor's two calligraphy works and the reward of 1,000 taels of silver!" Xiaotao became overjoyed when he thought of the silver he lacked the most.
"Your sentence, 'Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Therefore, all the people in the world thank Your Majesty for your wisdom and martial arts. They dared to ask Your Majesty to reward two pairs of ink treasures so that everyone in the world can see Your Majesty's creationist literary talent!' Can he not reward you if this high hat is worn by Your Majesty?" Xi Yu said in amazement.
I didn't expect that she, who has always been frank and cheerful, would have such a cunning side.
"I tried my best to say so many good things against my will. Isn't it just for our future business? Am I doing this just to expand the popularity of our pedestrian street?" Xiao Tao said with a smile.
Xi Yu unknowingly showed a doting smile, looked at her tenderly, and said, "You! But that's fine. If anyone wants to cause trouble for you again, he really needs to think carefully about his own weight..."
Suddenly, the carriage bumped for a while. Xi Yu saw her head hitting the wall of the back carriage, and his face changed. His hands were faster than his brain and he grabbed her, who was unstable.
Due to inertia, Xiaotao rushed into Xi Yu's arms and his entire little face hit his chest.
When Xi Yu was hit by her, she seemed to be suddenly knocked open. She felt that it would be great if she had her company in her life.
Xiaotao rubbed his nose that was hit sorely, and tears rolled in his eyes in awkward manner, looking up at the initiator!
Seeing that he seemed stunned, he couldn't help but pout: "The bridge of his nose is not high, you have knocked me down!"
Xi Yu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her big watery eyes and her slightly pouted mouth. She looked so cute and cute. She... seemed to want to go up and take a bite!
"It's crashing, it looks good!" Xi Yu couldn't help but blurted out.
But as soon as she said that, Xi Yu realized that what stupid thing she had done was considered a confession to her? How did she view herself?
Will you be ashamed and embarrassed as you care about yourself like other women?
He was worried for a long time, but what about our little Tao? It seemed that he didn't have that string at all, or she had never thought about what he would think of him!
Then she destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere as soon as she opened her mouth. She first rolled her eyes to him, and then jokingly said, "You should keep this to you and say it to our lady! I, Xiao Tao, have no blessing to live up to you!"
When Xi Yu heard this, his face darkened and he couldn't help but think in his heart. How long has it been since he thought of Shangguan Yuxuan? When did he start to care about her affairs?
Seeing his grim face, Xiaotao's face became dim and dull. After thinking about it, did she accidentally talk about his sad things again? A child with a glass-hearted heart! She felt guilty for a moment.
"Master, girl! We're home!" The voice of Siliang outside the carriage interrupted Xi Yu's thoughts and saved Xiaotao's helplessness.
"Oh, it's coming!" Xiaotao said in a few words.
He turned to Xi Yu and asked, "That... I didn't mean it. Why don't I make some specialties in a while and let's have a good drink?"
Chapter completed!
