Li Yi, who has always been strong, hates to owe others favors, even if that person is An Zhiyi.
Although he didn't know the inside story, Li Yi still wanted to try his best to help her, and then hide his merit and fame.
When we arrived at the Su family's residence, it was already midnight.
The dusk is gray and the night is quiet.
Li Yi was dressed in black military uniform, and Cao Qingyan and Qinglong were guarding him on the left and right when he arrived at the Su family's residence.
At the entrance of Su Mansion, red lanterns were shining, and there were two guards keeping watch.
As soon as Li Yi and his party arrived at the door, they were stopped, "Stop, this is the palace of the general protecting the country. No one can come near!"
Qinglong hurriedly stepped forward to reveal his identity, and the two guards were so frightened that their brains were roaring. Why did they come here in the middle of the night today, and who did they change? Their hearts trembled.
Everyone in the Su family was in a panic. Everyone was shocked and frightened. His Majesty's reputation as a "tyrant" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whoever is lucky enough to see a real person is not afraid. The key is still in the middle of the night.
Su Changyu went to the Fourth Cities Military and Horse Department to train soldiers and horses, and strictly practiced military law. He rarely returned to the mansion, and Su Wuchen was the only one in the mansion.
Su family lobby.
Li Yi unceremoniously sat on the upper seat, Cao Qingyan, Qinglong separated on the left and right.
"Your Majesty, my brother Su Changyu has gone to the military camp and is not in the mansion." Su Wuchen said respectfully.
"I'm not looking for him today, I'm looking for you." Li Yi took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Looking for me?" Su Wuchen immediately wondered if he had offended His Majesty?
"Su Wuchen, are you interested in joining the court as an official?" Li Yi asked straight to the point.
"Ah, what?" Su Wuchen was stunned. He had just thought of a hundred questions that Li Yi might ask, but there was no such question.
"You are Zhiyi's childhood friend, so naturally you are also my friend, and your brother Su Changyu is also my confidant, so I won't hide it."
Li Yi continued: "I want you to join the court as an official and be my right-hand man."
At this time, Su Wuchen felt extremely honored. What an honor it was to be called a friend by today's emperor.
"The common people are still young. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to serve as an official in the court." He shook his head, feeling that he was not qualified yet.
However, his elegance really made Li Yi like him from the bottom of his heart.
Now he directly refused to become an official, which surprised Li Yi even more.
People nowadays just hate that they are junior officials and hate that they are not high officials. But here, there are still people who refuse to be officials.
"I heard Zhiyi tell me that with your talents, you are more than enough to be a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Li Yi's thin lips curled slightly, and he dropped a big bomb on him.
Being a minister of household affairs and a second-rank official is a dream that many people cannot realize in their lifetime.
But Su Wuchen still refused without hesitation.
"Why, do you think the official is too young?" Li Yi said with a half-smile but not a smile.
Su Wuchen shook his head. Suddenly, that handsome face suddenly lifted up with a surprised expression.
He was indeed shocked. It was not that Li Yi gave him a second-grade officer, but that he said "Zhi Yi!"
He was extremely shocked. Wasn't His Majesty's speed too fast?
It's only been a few days, and the two of them have become so close. Could it be that the two of them really had a relationship...
No way!
He had known An Zhiyi since childhood, how could he not know the other person's temperament.
Despite An Zhiyi's quiet and pleasant appearance, in fact, hidden under this "unworldly" mask is a heart unwilling to be lonely.
"Your Majesty, An Zhiyi thinks too highly of ordinary people. They just study a lot. If it comes to being an official, how far behind are they?" He shook his head and refused, his eyes calm and unwavering, and he was definitely not pretending.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Reading thousands of volumes, why is it just to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family?"
"Don't you want to sell it to the Emperor's family?"
"How about you come with me to conquer a big world? I will give you the rights and a world to realize your ambitions."
Hearing this, Cao Qingyan and Qinglong couldn't help but look in shock and envy.
have to!
This court has another unruly young man!
Make a great career, reach the sky in one step!
Su Wuchen couldn't help but smile. His Majesty's tone and behavior did not sound like the king of a country, but rather like a bandit leader who occupies a mountain and becomes king.
It feels like you are following me, eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking wine from big bowls.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for offending the common people. The common people are still white and cannot hold a big position. Please take back your orders." Su Wuchen replied.
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and was extremely surprised. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a second-rank official, in charge of the lifeblood of a country, is this guy too low-level?
What do you want to be? Do you want to be a cabinet bachelor?
"You reject me?" Li Yi's tone changed.
Su Wuchen slightly cupped his hands and said, "Young people, you deserve death."
The implication is obvious.
Qinglong was immediately unhappy, his eyes were unkind, he glared at Su Wuchen coldly, and immediately said angrily: "Mr. Su, your Majesty's courteous and virtuous corporal is rare in ancient and modern times. If you have always been so ignorant, you are going too far!"
The threat inside and outside these words is self-evident.
Li Yi frowned, "Shut up!"
Qinglong lowered his head, but still stared at Su Wuchen unhappily.
As everyone knows, Li Yi's eyes flashed and he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, since you refused my solicitation, you must have other ideas. I won't force you."
"However, just because I won't force you, doesn't mean others won't."
Su Wuchen was surprised, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"You'll know soon." Li Yi smiled and said nothing, boy, are you too young to play this trick with me?
Wait and see how I deal with you.
Aren't you proud?
Then I will break your proud bones with my own hands and make soup.
It's too easy to deal with a arrogant and arrogant master like Su Wuchen. As long as he communicates with his eldest brother Su Changyu, he will be lucky if he doesn't get beaten to death.
Now, Su Wuchen couldn't calm down at all. Li Yi saw this and smiled lightly, "Get up. I'm here today. Firstly, I want to see you, and secondly, I want to chat with you about daily life and enhance the friendship between the king and his ministers. .”
"Aren't the common people your Majesty's ministers?" Su Wuchen added, with a calm expression on his face, not taking Li Yi seriously at all.
Li Yi smiled kindly, "Yes, sooner or later."
Hearing this, Su Wuchen felt an inexplicable coldness on his back and couldn't help but shudder.
"By the way, there's one more thing. What happened to the An family?" Li Yi casually pointed out the purpose of coming to the house today.
Su Wuchen looked confused, shook his head and said, "I don't know, haven't I heard anything happened?"
"Oh?" Li Yi nodded.
But there was obviously something behind his words. Su Wuchen was puzzled and said in surprise: "Back to Your Majesty, the common people have been studying at home recently and haven't been to the Imperial Academy for a long time. As for what happened to the An family, I have never heard of it."
"However, if something happens, the An family should be able to communicate with our Su family. Our two families have been friends for generations and have always had a harmonious relationship."
"but……"
Li Yi's eyes moved, "But what?"
"However, if something big happens to the An family, I'm afraid..." Su Wuchen said this unintentionally.
But Li Yi kept it in mind. Combined with the scene he just saw in the Imperial College, could it be that something big happened to the An family?
Li Yi couldn't help but look at Cao Qingyan, both sensing that something was wrong.
Li Yi suppressed his doubts and asked: "I heard that Zhiyi's uncle came to Beijing. I wonder if this is the case?"
Su Wuchen shook his head, "I haven't heard of this either."
"Your Majesty, where did you get this news? If Your Majesty wants to know, the common people will go and inquire about it. I also know something about the elders of the An family."
Li Yi smiled and said that he must be lying if he said he wasn't worried. After all, the An family was a literary figure in Dafeng, which represented supreme glory in the hearts of the emperor and scholars.
And he was just an emperor with a lot of misdeeds, and was called a tyrant by the world. If the An family collectively opposed it, then I might not be able to do anything about it.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Li Yi was not polite to him. Sooner or later, he would be his minister anyway.
For a talented man like Su Wuchen, how could Li Yi let him escape so easily.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave." Li Yi stood up and was about to leave, and Su Wuchen walked all the way to the door of the mansion.
When he arrived at the door, Su Wuchen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please don't tell my brother what happened today, otherwise, he will definitely be angry."
Hearing this, Li Yi showed a meaningful smile and raised his hand to pat his shoulder.
The results speak for themselves.
Su Wuchen naturally understood the implication and sighed helplessly. Looking at Li Yi's leaving figure, he couldn't help blurting out: "Your Majesty is becoming more and more cunning. No wonder Mr. Yan is not an opponent, and even the one from the southwest is definitely not an opponent. .”
