Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li You knew that he was walking a tightrope, and he also knew that if the stalemate continued, the result would probably be more and more disadvantageous to him.  This time the cabinet can make a fuss about Zhu Fanghe's promotion to the imperial court, but next time it might be something else. The initiative in this regard will always be in the hands of the cabinet.

    ¡°As long as those cabinet ministers still make up the majority in the cabinet, and as long as we do not have the ability to change cabinet ministers, we will have to deal with various situations.  No matter how careful you are, you will always make mistakes, and you will definitely be caught by then.

    So this time Zhu Fanghe came to act as a middleman, and Li You happily accepted Zhu Fanghe's kindness and put forward his own terms of exchange to avoid long nights and dreams.

    When leaving, Zhu Fanghe remembered that since Li You became the president of Pravda, while highlighting Mr. Lu Ge in the newspaper, he invisibly belittled more than half of the big guys, and then he was so calm and calm. He must have something to rely on.  So he couldn't help but asked curiously:

    "If I don't come to persuade you today, what are you going to do? Just rely on this Pravda to continue the stalemate with other gentlemen? I know you must have some wonderful back-ups, can you tell me? If it's not convenient to leak, then  That¡¯s all.¡±

    Li You said nonchalantly: "If there's anything I can't say, and I really can't hold it in any longer, I'll once again submit the invitation letter to everyone, begging them to write articles for the Pravda column. At most, it's just three invitations and four invitations."

    "Take the initiative to ask for literature? That is exactly what everyone wants to do to make a name for themselves. Doesn't it mean that you bow your head and submit?" Zhu Fanghe said in surprise, could this be the choice of Li You, who has a strong fighting ability?

    This method is a normal choice for others and is not surprising.  This will happen to anyone facing the pressure of four pavilion elders.

    "But when it comes to Li You, it seems a bit abnormal. Everyone in the court knows that Mr. Li is a three-nosist - he will not bow his head, he will not accept weakness, and he will not admit defeat. At the same time, he has endless deviant strategies.  Fortunately, he had a way out.  The worst case scenario is to give up being a civil servant and return to his hometown to become a third-grade nobleman. He will have the merit of saving the ancestral mausoleum.  The Zhu family had to give him a share of wealth no matter what.

    Faced with Zhu Bulang¡¯s surprised look, Li You said calmly: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being submissive? I¡¯m young, have a low official position, have no qualifications, and have little education. Is it weird to bow my head to the princes and ask for a few articles?¡±

    Zhu Fanghe nodded firmly, "I can tell you, it's very strange and unexpected. No one would have expected it."

    After watching Zhu Bulang leave, Li You stood under the Taixue Gate and thought for a while, then walked out of Chengxian Street and called for a carriage to go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.  Some things should be settled.

    Li You arrived at the residence of Princess Guide.  After asking the gate official, I learned that His Highness Chitose went to the Shaofu in Dong'an Gate, so he was not at home.  So he turned around and left. As soon as he left the intersection, he saw the somewhat exaggerated guard of honor in the distance. Who else could it be if she wasn't the eldest princess?

    Li You avoided the road and waited for a quarter of an hour after the guard of honor entered the house. He went to the gate official again to ask for an audience, and this time he was ushered in.

    He kept walking with the internal prison guard leading the way.  The further we walked, the stranger it became, we were actually led to an elegant side courtyard, and then into a bright hall hidden among flowers.  But there were seven or eight people inside, all of them eunuchs and palace maids, surrounded by a small child, except Princess Guide.

    Li You is inexplicable.  A young woman who looked like a nanny came forward with a baby in her arms and said to him: "His Royal Highness has an order. Since Mr. Li is here to teach the little lord, please take care of him. We are all servants."

    Teaching giving lessons, Li You looked at the sleeping little Liu'er in the nanny's arms. The little baby, who was only one and a half years old, was too anxious.  Besides, just relying on your own cultural level, you can mislead other people's children. This is your own seed, so you should be careful.

    "We'll talk about it after he wakes up." After Li You ordered, he sat down and drank tea.  No matter what, as a nominal teacher, I always have to put on a show.

    More than half an hour later, Xiao Liu'er didn't wake up, but Princess Guide, dressed in a soft satin robe, came.  She looked at Li You who was staring blankly at Xiao Liu'er and smiled, then waved away, leaving Li You alone to talk.

    "You are really cunning. You have defeated all the gentlemen again this time. I am in a good mood." Guide Chitose asked casually.  The "sir" in her mouth, of course, refers to the elder. A bachelor is dignified and dignified, and everyone in the royal family calls him "sir" respectfully.

    "What kind of army will you general? Fortunately, Zhu Bulang came to do the job today, otherwise I would have had to bow my head and ask the elders to come and show my respect." Li You sighed.

    The eldest princess said flatly: "This is impossible, you will take the initiative to bow your head? You will not get any benefits in that way, it is definitely not your way! I predict that you must have a backup plan, just waiting for the gentlemen to jump into the trap!"

    Why does she think so?  Li You smiled bitterly and said: "There is really no backup plan. I just drag it out habitually. With luck, Zhu Bulang will get it right, otherwise I will have to bow my head and submit."

    "You really don't??The back hand is just dragging it out of habit?  That¡¯s it, I understand!  Princess Guide was thoughtful and suddenly said again: "You are so treacherous!"  "

    Li Youqi said: "What treachery? What happened to me?"

    He was still pretending Princess Guide could not help but stretch her legs and kicked her lover, "Stop pretending in front of me. I don't know what you are thinking?"

    Being kicked was a signal for some kind of activity. Li You had formed a conditioned reflex and immediately subconsciously reached out to hug the little lady in front of him, but was dodged away.

    "I didn't mean it just now. Don't get me wrong. It's not convenient these days" The eldest princess explained to her lover with a slightly red face.

    Li You patted his head, sat back and asked inexplicably: "Come on, why am I so treacherous? I obviously didn't do anything, but I was slandered by you once."

    Guide Qiansui's eyes were as bright as fire and he pointed out: "This time you can deceive everyone in the world, but you can't deceive me. I can see that since you don't have any backup plan, you are using an empty city strategy to deliberately appear calm, calm and fearless."  The appearance can also be regarded as bluffing.

    This makes the elders who don¡¯t know the details think you have some conspiracy. They are afraid of being deceived so they don¡¯t dare to act rashly. They even want to use Zhu Bulang as a middleman to solve the matter.  So you can ask for prices all over the place!  That's my opinion, yes or no?  "

    Hearing his mistress¡¯s confident conspiracy theory, Li You was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.  The Emperor and the Empress learned from their mistakes, he really didn't want to use any empty city strategy.

    But if he does something, everyone will think that he has a conspiracy; if they know that he has actually done nothing, everyone will think that he is using an empty city to bluff his opponents.  It's hard to be a human being, it's even harder to be a celebrity, and it's even harder to be a celebrity who is over-interpreted, Mr. Li said with emotion.

    Li You didn't speak for a long time, and Princess Guide also lowered her head in deep thought.  After an unknown amount of time, she raised her head to break the silent atmosphere, her beautiful face filled with the brilliance of wisdom after great enlightenment.  "I think I have realized it. You once told me that there is a way to win without any tricks, but I have never understood the details. I just thought you were making it up to fool people. It is not until now that I understand the deeper meaning."

    Li You looked up to the sky and sighed, "Okay, okay, don't let your realm become shattered and empty. I'm looking for you to talk about business."

    "What's the business?" Princess Guide took back her thoughts and listened carefully.

    Li You considered the words and said slowly: "This is related to industry. I would like to petition the imperial court to separate the office of the Imperial College to open a separate office. I will also work as a minister or temple supervisor.  . But at the same time, it is not appropriate to run a private Mingli Bao at the same time. Although the emperor has promised it, it is not written in a written code after all, and it is easy to be criticized for not distinguishing between public and private affairs"

    Princess Guide is a smart person. She immediately understood that this was another delivery from her lover. A smile appeared on her lips, "What Li Lang means is that the Mingli Newspaper Shop will be handed over to the Shaofu to supervise it and bear the royal name. The shares will still be  The old half-and-half rule?¡±

    "Don't act like you're convinced! It's very annoying!" Li You waved his hand helplessly.  From the beginning, he could predict that in the end, only the royal family would be able to protect Mingli Bao, which dared to criticize government affairs. The best result would be to maintain his influence by taking half of the shares.

    His Highness Chitose approached Li You and said softly for once: "You still can't trust me? When did I take advantage of you in vain? Don't worry, the future will all belong to Xiao Liu'er."

    "I can trust you, but I can't trust the Emperor's family. I'll give half to the bank, half to the coal shop, and half to the newspaper shop. That's all. But in the future, a hundred years from now, you and I will still have what's left for the descendants of the Li family."  Can you keep this half? Partnering with the royal family is like accompanying a king or a tiger." Li You said calmly, not being tempted by beauty.

    Regarding this point, Princess Guide cannot be sure, "You and I can't decide. We can only decide what these disappointing things will be based on the opportunities of future generations."

    Li You then revealed his purpose, "There is a way that I don't know whether it works or not. You can engrave the guarantee on the gold book and iron coupon"

    Princess Guide burst into laughter, "How dare you really think of engraving a sentence on the gold book and iron certificate that the Li family's shares will remain unchanged from generation to generation? That's fine. I'll tell your majesty when I have time and I'll give you a gold book."  Iron coupon, plus those meanings."

    "Thank you very much! This thing is more or less a guarantee." Li Youan calmed down and saw that everything was done and there were no other activities, so he stood up and left.

    His Highness Chitose arrived at the door of the room, and then he thought of something and asked: "I just wanted to ask you about the Mingli newspaper office. Are you really planning to break out of the newspaper office of the Imperial College? Do you need my help?"

    Li You shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem like you need to take action at the moment, it shouldn't be a big problem."

    On the way home, Li You recalled today's events again. It was funny to think that the attitudes of Zhu Bulang and Princess Guide were almost the same.

    Although it is funny, it also has something to gain. It is true that the authorities are confused but the bystanders know clearly.  Could it be that because of his reputation and outstanding achievements, the big bosses would also have shadows in their hearts, and they also felt that he must have a back-up plan that he failed to use, so they acted very cautiously and refused to break up easily?

    If this is the case, the price can be higher.  The imaginative eldest princess came up with an empty city plan, and maybe she would actually put it to use, and it would be a good idea to use it to ask for a lot of money.
