Wei Zheng raised his brows, a little surprised by Du Qi's words, he didn't think it was a compliment, but thought Du Qi's words were words dedicated to flattery. He didn't say that he has any opportunity to hide the universe in his chest, or his ambition to rise above the clouds, let alone that he wants to assist Li Jiancheng to become a wise king.
Wei Zheng's expression was very calm, and he said calmly, "Du Erlang, I accept your good words."
After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is honest and courteous, and sets an example for his subjects. In the future, after His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will definitely be a wise king."
Du Qi said: "What Wei Xima said is true."
He didn't say much.
Li Jiancheng wants to be a generation of Mingjun, and His Majesty Li Er in the future will not agree.
Wei Zheng changed the subject and said again: "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness admires Du Erlang's management skills. It is extraordinary to have such ability at such a young age."
"However, doing business is a lowly way after all, and it is difficult to be elegant. It would be a pity if you have been in business. Especially although you are young, no matter in terms of talent, ability, or conduct, you are the top choice .¡±
"His Royal Highness, the corporal, is respectful and respects talented people. He intends to promote you to rush into the East Palace and work in the East Palace."
Wei Zheng asked: "Du Erlang, would you like it?"
When Du Qi heard the words, he didn't answer immediately, but instead showed a thoughtful expression. He knew what Wei Zheng meant, or Li Jiancheng's intention, which was to let him work in the East Palace so that he could be recruited.
Just imagine, Du Qidu is already a member of Prince Li Jiancheng. Once Li Jiancheng's East Palace needs money, Du Qi, as Li Jiancheng's person, can't care about it. He must obediently offer the money and obey Li Jiancheng's arrangements honestly.
Du Qi was unwilling.
He didn't refuse immediately, because a too straightforward refusal would easily make Li Jiancheng angry. Therefore, Du Qi pretended to have a thoughtful look, and after a long while, he shook his head and said, "Du Qi appreciates your highness's kindness. Your highness thinks highly of Du Qi, and it is an honor for Du Qi to promote Du Qi. The boy's official career has already been arranged, so for the time being, he cannot follow His Highness's arrangement."
Li Jiancheng asked: "What arrangement?"
Du Qi immediately replied: "My father hopes that the boy will take the regular imperial examination path and enter the officialdom step by step, rather than hoping to be promoted and used in an exceptional way. His Royal Highness wants to promote the boy, but I'm afraid it won't work for the time being. But the specific matters, it is It will not be too late to discuss this matter after my father returns to Chang'an, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summons my father."
This is a polite refusal!
It is impossible for him to become an official at will.
In particular, it is even more impossible to serve a mortal Li Jiancheng. Because once he works for Li Jiancheng, it means that he is an enemy of the Qin Palace, and he is standing on the opposite side of his father.
Li Jiancheng frowned.
He originally thought that calling Du Qi and arranging Du Qi to come to the East Palace should not be a difficult task, and even, it was for Du Qi's benefit. But now it seems that things are not easy, it is quite difficult.
Du Qihua did not hold back his hands and was not easy to control. A few words had already blocked Li Jiancheng's solicitation.
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng again to see what Wei Zheng had to say. Wei Zheng was an extremely sophisticated person, stroked his beard under his chin, and said, "Du Erlang, you are now in charge of tea shops and restaurants, all of which are properties under your name. Although you have not yet crowned, you have already made your own decisions. Could it be, What kind of path do you take, how do you plan to do things, don¡¯t you dare to decide?¡±
This is to use a little aggressive.
After Du Qi heard it, he sighed and said, "Wei Xima, you are wrong."
Wei Zheng frowned.
Wei Xima, although he said he was the prince Xima, but hearing Wei Xima's address was a bit strange.
Wei Zheng said: "Du Erlang, how did I go wrong?"
Du Qidao: "I'm just a little clever, not great wisdom. When it comes to the operation of the tea shop, and the operation of the restaurant, the general direction is arranged by my father. If there is no father, I can do nothing. I am just a little clever, some It's a small idea, so Wei Xima said that I am independent and make my own decisions, but that is a big mistake."
After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Speaking of which, Wei Xima may not believe it. The two shops under my name are making a lot of money every day, but I don't even have two money for a month. Every month when the shop settles the bill, my mother takes away all the money. From the beginning to the end, I just pass it by, and I don't even have a chance to keep warm."
Having said that, Du Qi sighed.
This is a dedicatedTake the vaccination, once Li Jiancheng really wants him to take the money, then he can use Zheng to shirk it. After all, all the money is in the hands of Du Qiniang's mother Zheng, it is impossible for Du Qi to be the master.
This is the way to refuse.
After Wei Zheng listened, he frowned again.
This kid Du Qi is really difficult to deal with, because next Wei Zheng will say that the Prince's Mansion needs money and needs Du Qi's support, no matter how much, Du Qi will always give some.
But with one word from Du Qi, everything was blocked.
Wei Zheng had no chance.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and shook his head imperceptibly. Li Jiancheng understood it by heart, and he already understood. Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Forget it, since Erlang has his own ideas, the Crown Prince will not force you. Du Erlang, I invited you to the East Palace because I heard that you are smart and intend to promote you. If you don't want to, then let it go."
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty's kindness, I am really ashamed. I can't make decisions about my own affairs, so I can only make plans after my father returns."
"Can!"
Li Jiancheng didn't force it, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Seeing this, Du Qi bid farewell tactfully.
After Du Qi left, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "Xuancheng, Du Erlang is not an easy guy. It's not easy to start with him. What do you think of him?"
Wei Zheng said sternly: "As His Royal Highness said, Du Erlang does not hold back his hands, is extremely sophisticated, and even in some respects, he is as cunning as an old fox. He said that he wants Du Ruhui to be the master, and he said that money is not handled. If it's an excuse, it's done on purpose. It's impossible to get a breakthrough from Du Qi now."
Li Jiancheng asked with an eager look on his face, "What Xuan Cheng said is true, so what are you going to do?"
A bright light flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes. He already had an idea, so he said: "Your Highness, it is not easy for us to cut in from Du Qi, but it may not be impossible for Du Qi's mother, Mrs. Zheng."
"Especially in our house, there are people from the Zheng family in Xingyang. This is an entry point, let people go to Zheng's, and ask him to arrange for him to go to tea shops and restaurants. In this way, we can achieve our goal of controlling restaurants and tea shops. Chance."
"One of Du Qi's words is correct. He is still young. Although he arranged restaurants and tea shops by himself, he is young after all, so it is possible for Mrs. Zheng to arrange for people to go."
Wei Zheng said: "Even if Mrs. Zheng is not at ease, it is even more possible."
After hearing this, Li Jiancheng clapped his hands and smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, you can arrange this matter."
"yes!"
Wei Zheng responded immediately.
For Wei Zheng, it would take some thought to deal with a kid like Du Qi, but Wei Zheng didn't think it was that difficult. Even though it was not easy for Du Erlang to cut in, he could start from other places.
