Changsun Chong shook his head: "That sentence is worth at least tens of thousands of dollars. I understand this. I will take the opportunity to introduce my husband to the prince today to make me feel at ease."
This aroused Li Chengqian's curiosity: "Could it be that you were also involved in Chai Lingwu's business losses?"
After Changsun Chong poured wine for Li Chengqian and Li Moyun, he picked up a glass and drank it in one gulp: "Hey, didn't I make a lot of money doing business with Tuyuhun at that time? Then I planned to continue investing in some businesses, and then I would do business with those aristocratic families. As the conversation slowly progressed, they began to be reluctant to let me join the team. In fact, this was just a lie to me. They had been plotting against me all along."
"I pretended not to agree, but in fact I would agree as long as I had a tougher attitude or a softer attitude. Then I listed dozens of terms required for doing business. The rules and regulations were very clear and true. In fact, there were traps everywhere, waiting for me. Come in"
Changsun Chong poured himself a glass and continued: "Then he started to describe to me how good the business would be in the future and how it would work. I got caught up in it. I thought about it every day and fantasized about doubling my money overnight. , show my father what I am capable of."
"But when they came to sign a contract with me with the terms, I felt something was wrong with their eagerness, and then they said they hadn't decided yet, so they didn't sign for the time being."
Li Chengqian continued to ask curiously: "What then?"
Changsun Chong: "Of course they wanted to keep me, but I still left without agreeing. Two days later, I asked them again. There were several clauses that I felt were a little low on profit for me. In fact, they were not. I just pretended to ask. I can’t change it, and they actually added a profit share to me.”
Changsun Chong laughed and said: "Looking at those profits, I thought at first that they were given to me to take advantage of my father, Prime Minister Changsun, and to get close to my family. But when I thought about it, there was something wrong. These people's families were doing it behind their backs. But there is a lot of competition among new rich people like us. Is it possible that you are trying to win over someone like this?"
"You don't know how proud I was at that time. I took the contract and went there happily. I happened to meet Mr. Li Moyun on the way. Because of the horse riding, the horse was frightened and there was some trouble. Mr. Moyun was helping me solve it. "surround"
"Because the contract I was holding fell out during the chaos and was picked up by Mr. Mo Yun. This is how I survived."
Li Moyun said modestly: "This is just a coincidence. I have always said that adults do not need to praise me so much and always think of a certain position for me. I like the days of Xianyun Yehe."
Li Moyun said this, and Li Chengqian could see that the other party seemed to have something unspeakable.
Changsun rushed to explain to Li Moyun: "Mr. Moyun, not everyone is as good as some officials. You should look at the benefits. Now that Jinyiwei has punished so many corrupt officials, the administration of officials has become much clearer."
Li Chengqian suddenly realized that it was Li Moyun who had a conflict with the local official. Was the other party a corrupt official?
think for a while
Li Chengqian is thinking
Changsun Chong continued: "Besides, that corrupt official has been caught, hasn't he?"
Li Moyun shook his head: "I was arrested, but I was released again."
Li Chengqian woke up immediately and said bluntly: "It's impossible. Unless the officials who go in have not committed a crime, no one can come out safely. This is what I admire the most about the imperial sister."
Li Moyun sighed: "I also think that Her Highness the Princess is strict, but people have indeed come out."
Li Chengqian was a little confused like this. Could it be that Li Mingda was really doing something behind his back? He didn't believe it. Li Mingda had such a ferocious look. He scolded Wang Buyi to death when he was still young, and he scolded Wang Bu to death two days ago. Loyalty, how can you compromise with corrupt officials in this situation?
"Did you remember it wrong?"
Li Moyun sighed: "I recognize it even if I turn into ashes, but His Highness the Crown Prince has some doubts. Let me tell you."
"I have a sworn brother who joined the army in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. He was killed in action some time ago while arresting a smuggler who collaborated with the enemy. His superior officer embezzled my brother's pension and was released a few days after he was captured."
Li Chengqian naturally didn't know about Zhu Jie's affairs. Only Lao Li and Li Mingda knew about it. Li Chengqian didn't have access to the inside of Jinyiwei, so he had no way of knowing.
Li Chengqian rubbed his hands and neck: "Is this really happening? What is the other person's name?"
"Zhu Jie"
Li Chengqian called to the guards: "Here comes my imperial sister to ask what is going on."
"promise"
The guards hurried away, and Li Moyun stood up excitedly and tried to persuade Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, don't do this. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess are at odds, I, Mo Yun, will be guilty of a great crime."
Li Chengqian shook his head to reassure Li Moyun: "He is just a prisoner, but he actually embezzled someone who died in battle. This crime is so serious, how can we not ask clearly? Mo Yun is relieved. Although I, Li Chengqian, like to be free, I am not the one who indulges in corruption. People who are ignored by officials"
Li Chengqian's appearance moved Li Moyun very much. He bowed to Li Chengqian and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness. Mo Yun will definitely be grateful to you."
Changsun Chong pulled Li Moyun and sat down: "Don't worry, my cousin sent someone out, there will definitely be results."
Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Chong and suddenly remembered to ask him: "Cousin, it's not difficult to ask a sinner, why didn't Mr. Mo Yun ask you?"
Changsun Chong said with an unhappy look: "Forget it, my cousin kicked me out when I came to the door."
"Why?"
"Why else? When Murong Xue just came out, we took a bunch of brothers to join in the fun, and you naturally knew the result."
Li Chengqian smiled, of course he knew: "I was blocked at the door by the imperial sister and beaten, right? Then the young masters from those aristocratic families died and were injured, and now there are still some serving sentences at the border."
Changsun Chong sighed: "No, those people really know people but don't know their hearts. They look like gentlemen on the surface, but they do those evil things secretly. If I knew, I would have beaten them to death long ago, hum. "
Li Moyun followed Chang Sun Chong's words and continued: "Mo Yun has also heard about those people and knows them a little bit. I really didn't expect them to be like that."
Changsun Chong drank a glass of wine and continued: "Isn't that right? Although we young people can go out and hang out, there are some things we shouldn't do. These bastards are killing people and setting fires behind the scenes. They should be damned if they break the rules and the bottom line."
Changsun Chong's disgust at those people made Li Moyun's eyes reveal a hint of approval.
Li Chengqian echoed Chang Sun Chong's words: "He is indeed a worthy person."
The next three people continued drinking and waiting for news.
The snow outside continues to fall.
The passers-by were shivering in their thin clothes for a living, and they hurried past. Changsun Chong looked at the snowflakes outside: "Looking at the poverty of the people outside, cousin, you will have to implement benevolent policies after you become the emperor."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and replied to Changsun Chong: "Forget it when you become emperor, I think there is no chance."
Changsun Chong interrupted: "I know there is a lot of talk about you outside. Didn't I just invite Mr. Mo Yun to be your military advisor today?"
military adviser?
A familiar but unfamiliar word, this word began to rise in the turbulent years of the late Han Dynasty. It mainly served the military and politics of one overlord. Only those with high intelligence can take the position.
The same was true during the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Some military tycoons had this position, such as Wagangzhai.
Changsun Chong said this word as a reminder to Li Chengqian. For many days, he had been wondering where he had not done enough. Suddenly, a ray of sunshine leaked through the cracks and shined in.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Moyun, thinking, could this be what I'm waiting for?
Hmm something is wrong.
It seems that there is something weird here. There must be a demon inside if it comes to the door for no reason. He, Li Chengqian, has experienced the incident between Rong Xin and Xiao Guizi.
"Mr. Mo Yun, would you like to be a counselor in my house?"
Li Moyun shook his head and rejected Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, I'm sorry that I can't accept this."
Li Chengqian: "Why?"
"I have limited ability to plan practical things for His Highness, which is completely a trap for me."
"These words are false. People who can tell at a glance that the cousin's contract is fishy will naturally have good abilities, especially those who come from a poor family."
Li Chengqian blocked Li Moyun's first excuse, and Li Moyun sighed helplessly: "I have been hanging out in the market, and I don't know the depth of the family in the court. I must have made a rash plan to bring trouble to His Highness. Besides, I have committed many sins." Anyone who enters His Highness's residence is simply adding enemies to His Highness for no reason."
Li Chengqian felt a little unhappy when he saw Li Moyun rejecting again.
Changsun Chong looked at Li Chengqian who had played with him for many years. He naturally knew that Li Chengqian was a little unhappy now and interrupted: "Mr. Mo Yun, look at what you said. In the Tang Dynasty, apart from His Majesty and the Queen, we can't afford to offend anyone else. Let's see. He stood up and spoke, right cousin?"
Li Chengqian nodded proudly: "It must be so. In the Tang Dynasty, except for my father, the emperor and his mother, I really have no one to fear." Li Chengqian silently added in his heart: his irritable imperial sister who would kill people even if she wanted to kill him, and that cunning white fox. except.
While several people were talking, the guard who went to Li Mingda's house came back: "Your Highness's matter has been investigated clearly,"
Li Chengqian: "Speak"
"Zhu Jie offended a local family of illegal traders who were involved in arresting smugglers. They jointly lied to Zhu Jie that the pension was not enough for the widows of fallen soldiers, and invested in their business, thus taking away the money to retaliate against Zhu Jie. After the incident, Zhu Jie was apprehended by the Jinyi Guards. Relying on Zhu Jie's confession to capture those people, Her Royal Highness and Her Majesty considered for a long time to exempt him from the death penalty. Instead, he was exiled to the army to kill the enemy and atone for his sins. It must be a great merit and cannot be forgiven."
Changsun Chong patted Li Moyun on the shoulder: "My cousin has helped you solve your wish, so it's time to express your stance."
A look of gratitude showed on Li Moyun's face: "Thank you, Lord Changsun and His Highness the Crown Prince. It would be disrespectful of me to say anything wrong. If Your Highness doesn't dislike my clumsiness in the future, then Mo Yun will do my best for His Highness."
