The King of Fortune

Chapter 217 Interests
With Huang Feihu seeing him off, San Yisheng lived in peace all the way, and it only took one day to arrive at Chaoge. He was not in a hurry to meet King Zhou, but learned about the situation in the court through dredging up money, and he had some concerns in his heart. .

"San Yisheng, the senior doctor of Xiqi, has met Mr. Li."

Li Mansion, Li Tong had just returned from court when he heard that someone from Xiqi was coming. He didn't plan to go see him, but the housekeeper said that the person who came was generous, and the rare treasures he brought were priceless.

For the sake of money, Li Tong agreed to meet.

"San Yisheng."

Li Tong frowned, thought carefully, and suddenly said: "I remembered, when Ji Chang was imprisoned in Yuli, it was you who persuaded the king through the courtiers Fei Zhong and You Hun to redeem Ji Chang and let the tiger go back to the mountain. So much so that I am a big businessman fighting constantly."

San Yisheng said: "Lord Li has a good memory, it was the lower officials who redeemed King Wen back then!"

Li Tong's complexion changed, and he immediately ordered: "Okay, I didn't expect you to dare to come to Chaoge. Come, someone, take down this traitor!"

Li Tong is an official of the imperial court. Among civil servants, his status is only inferior to that of Wei Zi and Zhang Qian, so he has dozens of diners at home. These diners are loyal to him, and all of them possess martial arts. Favorably.As soon as he gave an order, more than a dozen diners armed with swords rushed in aggressively from outside, and surrounded San Yisheng. Two more people stepped forward and pressed San Yisheng's shoulders.

San Yisheng is used to big scenes, so he will be shocked but not confused, he said calmly: "Master Li, why bother to get angry, I am here to make a good relationship with you, and to give you a fortune."

Now that Shang is strong and Zhou is weak, San Yisheng comes here with a heavy responsibility, and he doesn't know the attitude of King Zhou, so he looks for breakthroughs among civil and military officials.And as far as he knew, Li Tong responded to all calls in the court, and he seemed to be fighting against Wei Zi. Such an important minister was exactly the person he made friends with.

Li Tong sneered and said, "You are the two of you, Fei You, who betrayed the country and the enemy for a little money."

San Yisheng glanced at him, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Li is loyal and patriotic, and the lower officials admire it, but the lower officials understand that your position in the court seems to be not very good."

Li Tong's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"The lower officials are only concerned about Master Li's future. Now, Wei Zi, Zhang Qian, and Fei Lian are in the court. These three support Han Rong. Sooner or later, I will return to Chaoge, and at that time, how should Master Li deal with himself."

San Yisheng had figured out Li Tong's situation a long time ago, and he had a plan in mind for this trip.Everyone has weaknesses, and Li Tong's weakness is that he cares too much about power.

Li Tong's face turned ugly in an instant. This was exactly what he was worried about. Han Rong has amazing talents in marching and fighting, while Wei Zi and Zhang Qian are good at internal affairs. How can there be a place for oneself.

Li Tong is very angry, if he is asked to put down his body to please Han Rong, he would rather resign from office and go back to seclusion.But don't try to curry favor with Han Rong, he learned that he opposed him in the court, and settled accounts after the fall. Not only would he not be an official, but he would also be in danger of his life.

"This is the official's business, you don't need to worry about it. I tied you to see the king, which is also a great achievement."

San Yisheng said: "Sacrificing one of the officials will not change Master Li's situation. To be honest, this official is ordered by my king this time to strike peace with the imperial court and never invade. , to facilitate this matter, you are not only my benefactor of Xiqi, but you will also become a celebrity in front of the king. In this way, even if Han Rong returns to the court, you will not be able to shake your status. The best of both worlds.”

Li Tong was startled and asked, "You said Ji Fa wanted to seek peace with the imperial court."

Two months ago, he persuaded King Zhou not to carry out a war of annihilating the country. Not long after that, Han Rong forced Xiqi to have no way out and planned to surrender.If San Yisheng hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

San Yisheng sighed: "That's right, for the sake of the millions of people in Xiqi, my king sent officials to chaoge, just to seek peace."

Think back to the beginning, the king and Jiang Ziya vowed to replace him with Chengtang, but after several years of hard work, not only did they fail to pass the five passes, but they were besieged by the imperial army and were in danger.

Li Tong said in a deep voice: "Since you have Ji Fa's instruction, you can go directly to see the king. With your three-inch tongue, it is not difficult to win the king's satisfaction. When he was happy, he accepted Xiqi's begging, so Wouldn't it be more troublesome, why do you need to bother, come to see me."

San Yisheng said: "Master Li is highly respected in the imperial court, and he will respond to all calls. Without your help, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the next official to complete."

"Hmph, you understand. It's just Ji Fa's wolfish ambition. If the imperial court withdraws its troops, it will rampant again in the future and invade our Dashang border. Wouldn't it be that the tiger will go back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles."

Although Li Tong is a civil servant, he has also read ancient books and has something to do with military affairs, or else his remarks at the beginning were approved by Wei Zi.For now, all the courts are very concerned about Xiqi, and they all agree that Xiqi is the confidant of the big business.

San Yisheng said: "My king has always been loyal to the imperial court. It was only because of privately accepting Huang Feihu that we had a rift with the imperial court. Later, the imperial court launched a crusade against the imperial court. For the sake of millions of people in Xiqi, we fought against the imperial court several times. To tell the truth, Li My lord, my king has no intention of aspiring to the top of the world, I just want to be a vassal king."

Li Tong sneered and said: "San Yisheng, you are a three-year-old kid, so easy to coax. Ji Fa's ambition is known to all the people in the world. As his subject, you naturally argue for him, but facts speak louder than words! "

Although the two southeast lords were powerful, they did not cause much harm to the imperial court. On the other hand, Ji Fa, the imperial court lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xiqi over the years, even Wen Taishi, a veteran of the three dynasties.

Although Li Tong doesn't like Han Rong, it's because he has risen too fast. He has climbed to the top of Renchen in less than a year. It's Chaoge.

San Yisheng didn't change his face, and argued: "That's the misunderstanding of my king by the people of the world. If my king had rebelled, he would have responded to the princes of the southeast and south. Why did the army never go out of Xiqi?"

But Li Tong said: "This is exactly Ji Fa's cleverness. He uses the princes in the southeast and south to consume the national power of the court, and then chooses the right time to raise troops."

"Master Li can speak eloquently, and the lower officials admire him."

San Yisheng cupped his hands and said: "My lord, let me know all your intentions when you come here. It's up to you to decide whether to tie me up and send me to meet the current king, or to use this opportunity to show your talent to the king. You must know that since Shang Rong died, the post of prime minister has been vacant for a long time."

Li Tong's heart became active, Prime Minister, that is the pinnacle of civil servants, if he takes this position, even Han Rong would not dare to touch him.After thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Okay, I promise to help you, but whether it can be done or not depends entirely on Your Majesty's will."

San Yisheng said with a smile: "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to plan things. I believe that the king will definitely agree to my king's peace request!" Due to the strength of the big merchants, the princes calmed down on the surface, but one day they would invade with troops. Shang is far from quiet.

Li Tong nodded, he was also [-] to [-]% sure about this matter, otherwise he wouldn't dare to agree to San Yisheng casually.
