Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 128 Mr. doesn’t want to come because we haven’t done a good enough job
Chen Qingsi was very moved to see that Master Xu Yu truly thought about him and even used his own connections to go to Xu Jingzong to intercede.

You must know that Li Yifu is notorious, and if Xu Jingzong comes forward, Master Xu Yu owes a lot of favors.

What's more, Xu Jingzong himself was not a good person. The two deposed Wang Liwu had worked closely together. Even if he was invited to come forward, they would end up making amends themselves.

In the end, he had to be involved in the cause and effect of Li Yifu.

Chen Qingsi said hurriedly: "You don't have to be like this, Mr. Xu. The Li Yi Mansion under the Emperor's feet may not be able to cover the sky with one hand. There are still upright people above the temple."

Master Xu Yue immediately thought of Lai Ji and Sun Chuyue, and thought that when he visited Zhuang Minrui, Zhuang Minrui specially left Chen Qingsi to explain some things.

Lai Ji and Sun Chuyue were both prime ministers of the temple, especially Lai Ji who served as Zhongshu Ling. Li Yifu was Zhongshu's minister and a subordinate of Lai Ji, so he could indeed outdo him.

Laiji Fangzheng has noble moral character and is completely different from Li Yifu.

Chen Qingsi did not accept Li Yifu's invitation, so she probably chose to go with Lai Ji.

fair enough.

Chen Xian's nephew associates with a noble person like Lai Ji, so his character will not be tarnished and he will be able to produce more uplifting poems.

Thinking of this, Master Xu Yu felt at ease and said with a smile: "It turns out that my nephew has his own plans, so that's fine. Li Xianggong is not a kind person, so it is a good thing to keep a distance from him. However, some things cannot be discussed clearly in black and white. You don’t have to associate with Xianggong Li, but you can’t offend him.”

Chen Qingsi knew that he had misunderstood, just in case the elder who was protecting her would really drag her to find Xu Jingzong. She did not explain, but just bowed and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your guidance."

Master Xu Yu did not delay Chen Qingsi in contacting Ji and Sun Chuyue, exchanged a few pleasantries and left.

Chen Qingsi naturally sent him to the hospital.

After returning to the house, Xiao Miaochen said: "Xu Gong is indeed a kind and honest elder."

Chen Qingsi suddenly laughed and said: "When Madam said this, my husband also realized that he has a good relationship with his elders. Mr. Peng Qi, Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Xu all helped me. I didn't know that Mr. Xianggong and Mr. Sun were here. How is your husband doing?"

Xiao Miaochen said immediately: "Is Mr. Lang coming to visit you? I'm here for the first time, and I don't know what Mr. Lai and Mr. Sun like. However, Mr. Lai and Mr. Sun both came from the Zhongshu Province. The Zhongshu Province is responsible for assisting His Majesty in drafting edicts and mastering calligraphy. There are certain requirements. The two husbands must have good attainments in calligraphy, so I went to find two copybooks. When you first come to visit us, the first impression is extremely important."

Seeing Xiao Miaochen doing things well, Chen Qingsi nodded and said: "You can prepare the gifts first, and I won't come to the door today. I'll just have someone deliver the gifts entrusted by Mr. Zhuang..."

Xiao Miaochen said in astonishment: "This is too rude."

Chen Qingsi chuckled lightly: "If it hadn't happened today, such behavior would have been extremely rude. But after today's incident, it was very appropriate and there was nothing rude about it."

Xiao Miaochen didn't react for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized it.

At the same time, Li Yifu walked out of Zhongshu Province, looked back at the huge organization behind him, snorted softly, and said in his heart: "Sooner or later, this Zhongshu Province will be named Li."

Zhongshu Province is located in the inner palace. Li Yifu walked all the way out of the palace from Yong'an Gate to the imperial city.

Yuan Gongyu, the censor Zhongcheng, and Wang Dejian, the Zhongshusheren, were waiting outside Yong'an Gate early.

Seeing Li Yifu coming out, the two of them greeted him respectfully and quickly: "Ms. Li!"

Li Yifu had a pleasant look on his face and said apologetically: "Excuse me for waiting for a long time."

Yuan Gongyu and Wang Dejian did not dare to hesitate and said hurriedly: "I don't dare."

The closer they got to Li Yifu, the more they realized how terrifying the man in front of them was.

Li Yifu is not the kind of person who keeps his emotions and anger hidden. Instead, he smiles to everyone. No one can see his emotions. Even the people closest to him don't know when he will use the knife or who he will use it on. Knife, even the person being targeted doesn't know when it offended him.

Yuan Gongyu and Wang Dejian were walking on thin ice when facing Li Yifu, the leader of the party. "Let's go together. Today I will introduce someone to you. Ha, you must have heard of his name and read his poems."

Li Yifu is not at all like a solemn and solemn prime minister who is inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people. Instead, he looks like a big brother with social awesomeness. He is talented, talks a lot, and is very approachable.

Yuan Gongyu's first reaction was Chen Qingsi.

After all, the poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is so popular.

As soon as this poem came out, all the nobles in the temple who liked to dance with words and ink fell silent.

So, I asked: "But Mr. Qingxi Chen Qingsi?"

Li Yifu said with a smile: "That's it. He's a talented person, no one can compare to you and me. He's also from the Han clan. When we meet him later, we won't be able to overwhelm him with his status as an official and make friends with him as equals."

Yuan Gongyu hurriedly patted his horse and praised him: "If my husband gets help from this person, he can defeat thousands of armies and horses."

Li Yifu glanced at Wang Dejian and said: "Brother Wang, Mr. Li is the head of the guests at today's banquet, and you will stay with him. Don't feel aggrieved. This person has fallen into the eyes of His Majesty, and his future is limitless."

Wang Dejian is the think tank of Li Yifu. He has a large sarcoma on his neck and is also a veritable "think tank".

When Li Yifu offended Prime Minister Changsun Wuji and was demoted to Bizhou Sima, it was Wang Dejian's idea for Li Yifu, persuading him to publicly support Wu Zhaoyi and turn defeat into victory.

It was Wang Dejian's idea to treat Chen Qingsi preferentially.

It is to buy horse bones for thousands of gold.

Li Yifu and Wang Dejian both guessed Li Zhi's intention of using the Han tribe to fight against the wealthy nobles, and intended to gather the Han tribes from all over the world, overthrow the wealthy nobles, and then become a wealthy family themselves.

Wang Dejian also said he didn't dare.

Li Yifu got into the luxurious carriage nearby.

Yuan Gongyu and Wang Dejian rode big horses, one on the left and one on the right, following on both sides of the carriage, like guards.

The three of them came to Li's house.

The huge Li residence was silent.

As soon as Li Yifu got off the carriage, Li Jin strode over with an angry look on his face and whispered to his father, all of which were Chen Qingsi's arrogant words.

The steward of the Li family returned to the Li house. In order to protect himself, his words were full of slander, saying that Chen Qingsi relied on his superiority and regarded Li Yifu as a traitor in the temple and disdained to associate with him.

Li Jin was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. He cursed: "Father, this little thief has a low official position, but his arrogance has flown ninety thousand miles away. It is really hateful."

He still had a little friction with Chen Qingsi. When he was the magistrate of Yanling County, he got the news that Pei Yan secretly went south and drove the beggars in the county to Yixing County.

But Chen Qingsi seized the opportunity, which earned him praise from the local people and made him lose face.

Especially when someone beat him up and robbed him of the county magistrate's seal.

It's not really a grudge, but with today's humiliation, it's a new grudge.

The smile on Li Yifu's face did not change, he stopped his son from continuing to speak, and said: "Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Chen doesn't want to come. It must be because we haven't done a good job. How can we blame him?"
