Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 260: King Qi's Great Talent
Unlike the second and fifth brothers, Li Yuanji has only one purpose in Luoyang, which is to steal money.

How could winning a battle be cheap for ordinary soldiers? His Royal Highness the King of Qi worked hard and worked tirelessly to take down Luoyang, so he wanted to gain something.

The big ones were eaten by the king of Qin, and the small ones, he just accepted them with a smile.

in the account.

King Qi opened several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, smiling like flowers.Xue Deyin stood aside, looking a little cautious.He also didn't know if he could make Li Yuanji's heart beat by helping Li Yuanji obtain these treasures.

After a while, King Qi asked someone to lift the box down, and looked at Xue Deyin, "You are very knowledgeable, and this king likes people who are knowledgeable the most. Tell me what you want."

"To be honest with His Royal Highness King Qi, I had the opportunity to follow Wang Shichong to the battlefield, and I saw His Royal Highness charge bravely in front of the battle. This subordinate has nothing else to ask for, but to follow His Highness and serve His Highness." Xue Deyin said.

"Really?" Li Yuanji was a little surprised and a little happy.

He doesn't have many confidants under his command, only Yu Wenying and a few people are considered talented.In recent years, no one is willing to take the initiative to serve him. Now hearing Xue Deyin say that, Li Yuanji is of course a little happy.

"It's absolutely true." Xue Deyin said.

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Yu Wenying asked, "Mr. Xue's name, I have heard of it in the former Sui Dynasty. You, Xue Shou, and Xue Yuanjing are known as the Three Phoenixes of Hedong. Now Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing are working under the command of the King of Chu." , if you go to the king of Chu, wouldn't you be like a fish in water, how could you be willing to come to King Qi's side?"

Yu Wenying's background is also extraordinary, his father Yu Wenshan was Xu Guogong of the former Sui Dynasty, and he himself was an official to Sinon Shaoqing in the Sui Dynasty.Later, the world was in chaos, he followed Li Mi first, then Li Mi surrendered to Tang, and he surrendered to Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan granted him the title of Duke of Huazheng and assisted Li Yuanji.

Hearing this, Li Yuanji also looked at Xue Deyin suspiciously.

Xue Deyin calmly said, "That's not right. If I wanted to take refuge in the King of Chu, why would I choose this time? When the world was in chaos, Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing both persuaded me to take refuge in Duke Tang, but I refused to let them take my place. In making decisions, I want to assist Wang Shichong. Everyone knows the name of Three Phoenixes in Hedong, but who knows that since childhood, my father only regarded Xue Shou as the treasure of the family, and he never looked at me highly.

Xue Deyin doesn't ask for anything else, she just wants to prove that I am better than Xue Shou.Wang Shichong failed because he was not qualified to fight for world hegemony.This person never trusts anyone other than the Wang family. I am full of ambitions, but I have no place to display them.

Now, His Highness King Qi is brave, and Xue Deyin is willing to do his best to help His Highness King Qi achieve great things. "

After some rhetoric, Li Yuanji was in a good mood.He found that Xue Deyin's experience was similar to his. His father valued his elder brother and his second brother and always ignored him. Even the dead mother loved his second brother. He also wanted to prove that he was better than his second brother.

The most important thing is that Xue Deyin said that he would help him achieve his great cause, which made the hidden ambition in his heart throb.

Yu Wenying frowned and asked, "Who is your father?"

"My father's name is Daoheng." Xue Deyin said flatly.

"Xue Daoheng, the leader of the literary world?" Yu Wenying was slightly surprised.

Li Yuanji, an alternative illiterate, naturally didn't know Xue Daoheng's fame, so he asked curiously, "Mr. Yuwen, is this person famous?"

Yu Wenying was born in a noble family, so she naturally knew it.

"Returning to Your Highness, this person is very famous and talented. According to reports, Mr. Xue has few talents. He has been in office for three dynasties. At that time, he was as famous as Li Delin and Lu Sidao, and was recommended as a leader in the literary world by scholars all over the world. all are"

"Okay." Li Yuanji interrupted with a wave of his hand. He didn't understand this, as long as he knew that Xue Deyin wasn't bragging. Since Xue Daoheng was so respected, then this Xue Deyin must be good.

Xue Deyin said: "Everyone knows that Xue Shou is my father's son. How could anyone know my name, Xue Deyin, so I don't accept it!"

Li Yuanji looked at Xue Deyin and asked, "Are you willing to submit to this king?"

Xue Deyin said proudly: "That depends on whether the king has great ambitions."

"What do you mean?"

"As I said, I want to prove to the world that I, Xue Deyin, is a hero of the same generation as the Xue family in Hedong. If Your Highness has no ambitions, please forgive me for not being loyal. I have misjudged someone once, and I don't want to misjudged him a second time."

At this time, Xue Deyin set up the score instead.

Not only was Li Yuanji not angry, but he admired Xue Deyin more and more. He liked such rebellious people.

Yu Wenying also let go of her guard at this time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue, His Royal Highness King Qi not only has a great ambition, but also has the heart to annex the universe."

"Not bad." Li Yuanji chuckled.

Xue Deyin thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "In that case, this subordinate is willing to serve His Highness."

"Okay." Li Yuanji clapped his hands happily, "If you can get help from Mr. Zhang He Xiaoliang."

Xue Deyin was at a loss, "Your Highness, who is Zhang He Xiaoliang?"

Yu Wenying looked at Li Yuanji incomprehensibly.

Li Yuanji said: "Liu Bang's prime minister, Zhang He and Xiao Liang, you are scholars, don't you know?"

Ma De, that is Zhang Liang and Xiao He!

Xue Deyin's mouth twitched, this Li Yuanji was so unreliable.

Yu Wenying was also speechless, and she was a little embarrassed to face Xue Deyin.

The lord's low cultural knowledge makes him feel ashamed.

However, they didn't bother with this small mistake, and after a haha, they just fooled around.

Yu Wenying asked: "Mr. Xue, now that Luoyang is pacified, the King of Qin has made great contributions, and His Royal Highness Qi Wang is taboo by the King of Qin. He has not made great achievements. Do you have a plan to help His Highness make great achievements?"

This is the test, Xue Deyin knew it well.

He said to Li Yuanji unhurriedly: "This matter is simple, Your Highness, I heard that both Du Fuwei and Li Zitong were captured alive by the King of Qin at Hulao Pass, and now their power is leaderless and their vitality is seriously injured. It is a great opportunity to attack." Opportunity. Your Highness may wish to ask the King of Qin to lead the army to the Jianghuai area to regain the lost land, so that the meritorious service will be achieved."

"It's not that simple, how could King Qin give His Highness such an opportunity?" Yu Wenying asked back.

Xue Deyin said: "If King Qin refuses, why don't His Highness send someone to tell the saint the news. If the saint knows that King Qin doesn't trust His Highness, what will happen? King Qin is greedy for merit? Or does King Qin have other plans?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanji grinned.

"Mr. Xue is really a great talent."

Yu Wenying thought for a moment, then said: "This can be done."

Li Yuanji now completely believed in Xue Deyin's talent, and immediately appointed him as Qi Wangfu to join the army from the fourth rank, and accepted him as his confidant.

The camp of the king of Chu.

Xue received the news from Xue Deyin, laughed, and told Du Ruhui, "It succeeded, King Qi accepted him."

Du Ruhui said: "It's not surprising, although King Qi is ruthless, he has a shallow mind. As long as Deyin doesn't make mistakes, King Qi won't notice anything."

"What should we do next?" Xue Yuanjing asked.

Xue Shou said: "Deyin suggested that King Qi lead the army to sweep down the Jianghuai area. We might as well find His Highness and ask him to help King Qi so that Deyin can gain a firm foothold in Prince Qi's mansion."

"It's feasible." Du Ruhui said: "The Central Plains will be restored soon, and the Jianghuai area is also on the agenda. Let King Qi go there."

"Okay, let's go and explain the reason to His Highness."

After the three of them discussed, they got up and went to the main tent of the Chinese army.On the road, they saw Qin Qiong and others coming in a hurry with joy on their faces.Qin Qiong and others have already received the news that the king of Qin pardoned Shan Xiongxin, brought him under his command, and appointed him as a general.

This time, they came to thank King Chu.
