"Now that you two have climbed up to the prince, you don't take Yu Mou seriously."
Yu Jing didn't return the greeting, just smiled coldly.
After he came out of Gongsun's house, he sent someone to invite the two heads of the family.
However, it was not until the evening that the two of them came to the banquet, and Yu Jing felt really angry.
If he didn't have something to do with them, Yu Jing would have left long ago.
"Yu Changshi's words are serious, how dare we not take you seriously."
Wang Yan, the head of the Wang family, had a flattering smile on his face.
"Yes, we are really busy with important things, so we are too late!"
Another family head, Li Rong, also nodded and smiled.
Of course they didn't have anything to do.
It's just that Ji Lie and Gongsun He are in the same situation. Since the two of them have taken refuge in Ji Lie, they naturally have to draw a clear line with Gongsun He and Yu Jing.
But Yu Jing was resolute, and they didn't want to completely break up.
So after hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to come to the banquet.
Yu Jing understood what the two of them were thinking and didn't pursue it. He just said calmly,
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, sit down and talk!"
Wang Yan and Li Rong responded before cautiously taking their seats.
"Let me make it clear that Guocheng intends to attack King You and would like to ask for your help."
Yu Jing explained his purpose straightforwardly.
After hearing this, the two of them were immediately frightened.
Before they came, they had guessed that Yu Jing had no good intentions with them.
But I didn't expect that he would actually attack Ji Lie!
"Yu Changshi, Prince You is the vassal king. If you attack him, you will lose your head..."
Li Rong said with a grimace.
"Of course I know I'm going to lose my head!"
Yu Jing snorted coldly, stared at the two of them, and said in a deep voice,
"King You is so aggressive. If the Prime Minister doesn't fight back, I'm afraid there will be no way to survive in the future."
"In the past, Prime Minister Guocheng treated you and your family well. Now that he needs your help, can you bear to stand by and watch?"
Don't be too kind to our two families!
Most of the benefits of Youdi have been divided among the three of you!
Wang Yan and Li Rong cursed secretly in their hearts, but on the surface they just looked embarrassed.
Seeing this situation, Yu Jing's expression softened and he said softly,
"Guocheng said, as long as you are willing to help."
"When Queen You is removed, you two can account for half of Zuixian Brewing's business!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan and Li Rong were moved.
They cooperated with Ji Lie to run Zuixian Brewing. No matter how profitable it was, they still had to compete with dozens of other companies.
But if it is true as Yu Jing said, if you can monopolize half of it, that will be a real huge profit!
"In addition, the Prime Minister will also recommend the children of your two families to serve as officials in the court."
Yu Jing saw that the two men looked a little moved, so he added another handful of firewood.
The selection of officials in Daxia was mainly based on the inspection system.
If you want to become an official in the court, you need to have outstanding talents and good moral conduct before you can be recommended by state, county and local officials.
This move was originally a good intention to select talents for the imperial court.
However, as the power of the powerful noble families continued to grow, they controlled the power of inspection and promotion, and the people they recommended were often the children of aristocratic families.
As a result, children from poor families have no chance of getting ahead.
The reason why all the nobles were so fawning over Gongsun He was because, as the Prime Minister of the country, he controlled one side.
On the other hand, it is also because he holds the right to recommend.
Although the Wang family and the Li family can be regarded as noble families, their power is too weak.
Not to mention compared with those families with four generations and three fathers, even compared with the Gongsun family, they are far behind.
But if their children can enter the court and serve as officials, they can recommend their clan members in the future.
If things go on like this, it is not impossible for the Gongsun family to develop into a wealthy noble family!
Wang Yan hesitated for a moment and whispered,
"I wonder what Yu Changshi's plan is?"
Yu Jing felt happy and said quickly,
"The plan is quite simple."
"You just need to find an excuse to invite Prince You to your mansion."
"At that time, Guocheng will place people in your house in advance, so that he can be killed in one fell swoop!"
Li Rong frowned and said hesitantly,
"But King You has many elite guards around him, and if he did something in our house, we will investigate him in the future..."
Yu Jing smiled nonchalantly,
"No matter how elite he is, so what? He would never have imagined that you would send people to ambush him, and there would definitely not be many guards around him."
"And Captain Yang has thousands of county soldiers!"
"As for pursuing the matter in the future, you don't have to worry."
"King You is not favored by the emperor, so the Prime Minister will also greet Prime Minister Cao in advance, so no one will care!"
Despite what Yu Jing said, Wang Yan and Li Rong still did not give up their doubts.
The two looked at each other, and Wang Yan hesitated and said,
"Please ask Yu Changshi to allow the two of us to think about it!"
This matter was no small matter, and Yu Jing didn't expect them to agree immediately.
"This is easy to say, but we must give an answer to Guocheng within three days!"
"And I advise you two not to go against Guocheng."
Yu Jing gave the two of them a meaningful look, then stood up and walked away.
After he left, Li Rong and Wang Yan looked at each other.
"When gods fight, mortals suffer. Brother Wang Yan, what do you think we should do?"
Li Rong sighed helplessly.
If you help Gongsunhe deal with Ji Lie, the rewards will be high, but the risks will also be high.
If it fails or the news is leaked, all nine of their clans will be confused.
But if they don't help, I'm afraid Gongsunhe will attack them first.
This is really a man's right.
"If you don't want to die like this, you have to change your way of living..."
Wang Yan suddenly said quietly.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Li Rong looked at him in surprise.
"Which one do you think is better for us, the Prince or the Prime Minister?"
Wang Yan asked softly.
Li Rong hesitated and said honestly,
"Of course it's the prince!"
Gongsun He holds the power alone and has an arrogant attitude. He usually doesn't pay much attention to small nobles like them.
Whatever benefits there were, they would all be swallowed up by him and the Yu and Yang families.
There are very few left for other small noble families.
On the other hand, Ji Lie was kind to others and never condescending.
Act fairly and not treat the other party differently based on their status.
"Actually, that's fine! The key is that something happened to the prince in our house. How can we let go of our relationship?"
"But didn't Yu Changshi just say..."
"He said it nicely. If something really happens, with Gongsunhe's temperament, I'm afraid he will treat us as scapegoats!"
Wang Yan somewhat hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Li Rong suddenly realized it and suddenly broke into a cold sweat!
good.
The murder of the feudal lord was a huge event.
Rather than taking risks and working hard to deal with the aftermath, it would be better to place the blame directly on the Li and Wang families.
Gongsun He is really a ruthless person, it's not like he can't do such a thing!
"Then what do you think, let's go find the prince and tell the truth?"
Li Rong said tentatively.
"There's no rush, there's still time anyway."
Wang Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said,
"It will be too late to think about this matter again after I go to the palace to see the prince tomorrow and discuss the matter."
