Chapter 170 Invitation

Chapter 170 Invitation

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gu Yi sat down and said: "His Highness came to Yangzhou as an imperial envoy this time, and it was inconvenient for me to entertain His Highness. I felt really bad about it. I asked someone to prepare some Yangzhou specialties. Your Highness, don't dislike it. When the errands are done, I’ll have it delivered to His Highness.”

"Thank you uncle for your kindness, but many people are staring at me now. It would be bad if someone takes advantage of me." Zhao Tong refused.

Guyi's wife and his mother were of the same race, so they were considered the same generation.

Of course, his mother is a direct descendant, and Gu Yi's wife is a collateral descendant. Not to mention, she has already been in the fifth server.

However, seeing that Gu Yi had always sent money to his father in recent years, Zhao Tong still called him uncle.

"Oh, I didn't think it through well. When I go to Beijing at the end of the year, I will bring the gift to His Highness." Gu Yi said.

"Thank you very much, uncle." Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Your Highness is too polite. It's just some specialties, not worth much." Gu Yi said with a smile.

"By the way, my uncle went to the inn to look for me last night. I didn't see him because there were so many people out there. I wonder why my uncle wanted to see me?" Zhao Tong asked.

"I was too impatient last night and didn't think carefully. I went to see His Highness because I wanted to ask His Highness for a favor," Gu Yi said.

"My uncle's words are serious. We are all members of the same family. We don't have to ask for anything. If there's anything you need, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best." Zhao Tong said.

Gu Yi said: "I have a good relationship with Xu Shigao, the academic administrator of Yangzhou. Although the fraud has nothing to do with him, he is an academic administrator and an examiner, so he may be affected. Your Highness, see if you can give him a good word. sentence."

Zhao Tong frowned when he heard this and said: "Uncle, you are really making things difficult for me. The fraud in the examination in Yangzhou County has alarmed the officials. Although I am a deputy imperial envoy, there is a full imperial envoy above, and Prince Yan is also keeping an eye on me." As for me, I really can’t help you with this matter.”

He previously advocated covering up this matter, which does not mean that the person who led the fraud should be let go.

It's just not public.

After reporting it to the officials, the officials will naturally use other names to deal with the person who led the cheating.

Gu Yi said that he was asking him to help with some kind words, but the hidden meaning was that he was asking him to help Xu Shigao escape guilt.

Not to mention that this matter was very sensitive, he didn't dare to do it.

Just because Xu Shigao led the county examination fraud, he looked down upon this kind of person.

When Gu Yi heard Zhao Tong's refusal, his face froze and he whispered: "Your Highness, Xu Shigao may have average abilities, but he is very good at making money. He promised that as long as he can escape this time, he is willing to give him a hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Your Highness."

"One hundred thousand taels?"

Zhao Tong was shocked when he heard this number.

Even though he was the prince of the county, the treatment of the clan in the Song Dynasty was not good.

I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have much money left every year.

Xu Shigao was just an academician in a state, and his offer was one hundred thousand taels, which really shocked him.

After a long time, Zhao Tong came back to his senses and frowned: "Even if you cheat in a county examination, you won't be able to make so much money, right?"

"Your Highness doesn't know that the students who bribed Xu Shigao to commit fraud are all wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou. If the fraud is found out, not only will Xu Shigao have a bad end, but the students who participated in the fraud will also have a bad end. The money belongs to those who It's from a wealthy businessman." Gu Yi said with a smile.

"I see."

Zhao Tong nodded and said: "But I really can't help with this matter. If my uncle has any dealings with him, he should quickly find a way to clean it up and don't get involved."

"Your Highness, the prince is in urgent need of money right now. You can't miss such a good opportunity."

When Gu Yi heard this, he became anxious. He accepted many benefits from Xu Shigao and promised that Xu Shigao could keep him.

If Zhao Tong doesn't help, the Xu Shi High-speed Railway will definitely be destroyed.

Xu Shigao was not allowed to surrender him yet.

"Gu Zhizhou, please don't embarrass His Highness. It's not like you don't know that now is the critical moment for the fight for the crown prince's position. Once His Highness helps, what will happen if Crown Prince Yan gets the leverage and affects the prince?" High School said.

As a state magistrate, Gu Yi was considered middle-ranking among those who sought refuge with King Yong.

More importantly, he was able to provide King Yong with a lot of money.

Now King Yong and King Yan are trying to win over the ministers of the court. They are just county princes. Although they can draw big cakes, just drawing big cakes will not satisfy their hunger. They have to give them some actual benefits.

The prince has no rights, so all he can give now is money.

Therefore, money is very important to King Yong.

Otherwise, he would start to curse. This Gu Yi is simply an idiot. The fraud in the Yangzhou County Examination has alarmed the officials, and Prince Yan is watching, but he actually wants Zhao Tong to help him get out of the crime.

Once Zhao Tong really did this and was caught, King Yong might miss the throne.

The purpose of asking for money is to win over the courtiers, and the original intention is to gain the throne.

If you lose your position as heir apparent for the sake of money, isn't this just a matter of giving up the foundation to pursue the inferior?

"Uncle, what you said in high school is right. I really can't help with this matter. But don't worry, uncle, Xu Shigao will only be demoted at most. As long as you explain your interests to him, he won't dare to say anything nonsense." Zhao Tong said.

"this…"

Seeing Zhao Tong say this, Gu Yi felt a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Your Highness, I understand. I will go back and deal with this matter right away." Gu Yi said.

"Well, uncle, walk slowly." Zhao Tong nodded.

Gu Yi stood up, bowed, and left.

"Your Highness, I think Gu Zhizhou seems a little resentful." Gao Gao said.

Zhao Tong said disdainfully: "So what if he has grievances? Is it possible that he can still seek refuge with King Yan? He is just a fool, so there is no need to pay attention to him."

Gu Yi was somewhat related to his family. Even if such a person turned to King Yan, he would not be trusted by King Yan.

Although Gu Yi is a little stupid, he is not stupid to this extent.

……

Li An threw the small wooden stick in his hand hard, and Ta Xue rushed out with his short legs.

When he came to the place where the stick fell, he stopped, but due to inertia, he did not stop. He rolled on the ground, got up, turned around and ran towards Li An with the stick in his mouth.

"Haha~"

Li An was amused by Tuxue's naivety.

Taxue didn't know that his unscrupulous owner was laughing at him. He thought it was because he took back the stick and made his owner happy, wagging his tail happily.

Li An took the wooden stick from its mouth and said, "Sit down!"

After hearing this, Taxue squatted down honestly.

"Get down."

Ta Xue stretched out his two front paws forward and lay down directly.

"Well, not bad, I'll give you some meat for lunch." Li An praised.

He had nothing to do during this time, so he began to train on the snow.

Now it can understand some simple commands.

This understanding does not mean that it can understand human speech.

Instead, let the dog remember these instructions through some training.

Texue was very happy to receive the praise, shaking his head and picking at Li An.

"Wang Wang~"

Suddenly, Texue rushed towards the courtyard gate and screamed at the door.
