Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 45

"Ask the King of Chu for help?"

Hearing Wu Yong's words, everyone was startled.

Huh, that's it?

Liu Lei snorted coldly. He thought Wu Yong had a good idea, so he mocked:
"Mr. Wu Yong, I'm afraid you don't understand the relationship between the second lady and the king of Chu. It is impossible for the king of Chu to help us."

Chen Xiao and Liao Siting nodded, if only it was that simple.

Facing Liu Lei's ridicule, Wu Yong narrowed his eyes and showed a confident smile:
"How do you know if you don't try?"

"We can cater to the preferences of the officials in the city, why not cater to the preferences of the King of Chu, and help us if he is happy?"

He Changwen's eyes flashed when he heard Wu Yong's thoughts, revealing a pensive expression.

It seemed that Wu Yong had a point.

As the lineage of Princess Chu, these officials are more or less on guard. If they can get King Chu to speak, it will definitely be much easier and faster.

So, how to make the king of Chu speak?

Everyone thought of this, looked at each other without any clue, and turned their eyes to Chu Qingyan.

First of all, "color" is definitely not acceptable, after all, the second lady still has the status of a princess.

"Quan", don't even think about it, what I want from King Chu is Quan.

Then there is only "money".

But can money really impress the king of Chu?
Zhou Qiuya said: "Tomorrow should be the time when the prefect, Tongzhi, Zhu Bo and other officials in charge formally meet with the King of Chu. If the King of Chu speaks tomorrow, the effect will be the best and the time will be the fastest."

Fan Min shook his head and said, "But, in just one day, we have no time to convince the King of Chu."

"And how should we say it, what can we use to persuade the King of Chu?" Chen Xiao smiled wryly.

They all knew about the relationship between King Chu and Chu Qingyan, so it would be good if they didn't cheat them, how could they help them.

I saw Wu Yong said to himself: "The princess led everyone to suppress the bandits all the way. You are all people who have made contributions. The princess applied for rewards for them, which is justified."

Hearing Wu Yong's mention, everyone suddenly realized how they had forgotten this.

Chu Qingyan looked at Wu Yong with satisfaction, she was indeed a talent.

Immediately said: "Okay, I will go to Chu Palace immediately, Qiu Ya, you and Wu Yong will go with me."

"Yes!"

Zhou Qiuya and Wu Yong answered.

The others looked at Wu Yong with envy. They knew that Zhou Qiuya's abilities were slightly better than theirs, but Wu Yong, who had just arrived, was able to accompany the young lady. The use is getting more and more attention from the lady.

In this way, Chu Qingyan rushed to Chu Palace with Zhou Qiuya and Wu Yong in a hurry.

Inside Chu Wang's mansion, there was an exclamation:
"What did you say?
Do you want this king to reward Zhou Qiuya and others under your command with positions? "

On the main seat, Li Yuan looked at Chu Qingyan who was coming in a hurry, and the first sentence he said was to ask for a reward, showing surprise.

Chu Qingyan no longer had the cold expression before, but smiled and said: "Of course, your Highness, don't forget that along the way, Zhou Qiuya and others led troops to suppress bandits and maintain the stability of the people. As the prince of the Dayu Dynasty, don't you Should these meritorious men be rewarded?

If the news spread that the king of Chu ignored these meritorious persons, the reputation of the king of Chu would be ruined.

Moreover, these are capable people who can use their talents to handle government affairs, maintain local law and order, and contribute to Lingyang Mansion. "

For Chu Qingyan, if Li Yuan was determined and unwilling to help her, it would be impossible to succeed if he said that he was making a lot of hype. It would be better to directly tell her request at the beginning to save trouble and time.

Li Yuan straightened his face, looked at Zhou Qiuya and Wu Yong nodded slowly, and muttered:

"These meritorious people should indeed be rewarded."

Before Chu Qingyan and Zhou Qiuya showed excited expressions, Li Yuan continued:
"After a period of time, this king will see what official positions are available in the capital, so that they can use their talents."

"Wait for a while..."

Chu Qingyan's face changed slightly, how could it be possible to wait for a while, and who knows if this is Li Yuan's excuse.

Li Yuan noticed the change in Chu Qingyan's face, and said with a smile:
"Princess, don't worry, I will reward you for your merits. It's just that I'm not familiar with the specific matters of Lingyang Mansion. Do you need my concubine to let them wait for a while?"

"How long will it take?" Chu Qingyan's face darkened, but Li Yuan still hated it so much.

"What? It depends on the situation." It was Li Yuan's turn to say with a smile.

Depends?

What's the situation?
Seeing Li Yuan's smiling expression, Zhou Qiuya who was behind Chu Qingyan had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and suddenly thought of the rumors on the road. It is said that every time the King of Chu visited a city, he would summon all the big families to take the opportunity to amass money.

She took a step, leaned over and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, every time we suppress bandits, we get the treasures of bandits. Now we have a total of 10 taels of silver. I would like to dedicate it to Your Highness."

"10 million taels?"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhou Qiuya and smiled, very kindly:
"Miss Zhou is indeed a benevolent and righteous person. How can I let you and other meritorious people feel cold? In half a year, at most half a year, I will find a suitable position for you."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Zhou Qiuya's eyes lit up when she lowered her head, and gave Chu Qingyan a look.

Chu Qingyan looked at Li Yuan's hateful expression, how could she not understand Li Yuan's meaning, she gritted her teeth and said:
"20 taels!"

"Three months, this king will definitely find a suitable position for them in three months."

"50 taels!
I hope that the king of Chu will reward Zhou Qiuya, Wu Yong, Chen Xiao, Liu Lei, He Changwen, Liao Siting, and Fan Min with "suitable" positions in public tomorrow. "Chu Qingyan was really going to explode with anger.

She had long heard that when he was suppressing bandits, he used the name of suppressing bandits to amass money from the forces in various cities.

Now Li Yuan is taking the money she got from suppressing the bandits again!
He worked so hard to suppress the bandits, but he didn't do anything!

He has the reputation!

I still have to take two copies of the money!

How can there be such a brazen person in the world!
Li Yuan heard Chu Qingyan's limit, and said righteously:

"Princess, don't worry, they are all righteous men. This king will reward those who have made meritorious deeds. Tomorrow, I will discuss with the prefect Mo and reward them with suitable positions, so as not to disappoint the righteous men."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhou Qiuya and Wu Yong immediately thanked each other.

Seeing that Li Yuan agreed, Chu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt extremely heartbroken, 50 taels!
Most of the money obtained by suppressing bandits by himself was given to Li Yuan.

Seeing the figures of the three leaving, Li Yuan showed a faint smile

He was still thinking about how to intervene in the capital city just now, but he didn't expect Chu Qingyan to hand over a knife so quickly.

The entry of seven people under Chu Qingyan's command into the officialdom is bound to cause many whirlpools in the seemingly peaceful officialdom, and reveal the old foxes hiding behind the scenes one by one.

I watched them fight Chu Qingyan from behind, so I could see who was loyal and who had different intentions.

When necessary, Li Yuan needs to add fuel to the fire, let them fight as fiercely as possible, and it is best to lose both, so that it is easier for him to control the capital city.

As for other counties, there is no one at hand, too much intervention is not enough, and it is easy to scare the snake.
