Chu Suiliang Has a Great Gift to Present to Your Highness!
Chu Suiliang was a man in his thirties. When he saw Li Ke, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately bowed to Li Ke, and his tone was filled with respect.
This was completely different from the image of him rejecting Li Ke twice before.
For a moment, He Chenglin and the others were stunned. They did not know what was going on.
Wasn't Chu Suiliang awesome just now?
His Highness had sent a visiting card, but in the end, he didn't even see it!
Then, His Highness revealed his identity, but in the end, he still did not give him any face!
Why did Chu Suiliang take the initiative to come out after His Highness sent a sentence in? Furthermore, he bowed so respectfully to Li Ke the moment he saw him?
He Chenglin felt that he really did not understand the thoughts of scholars at all.
Li Ke, on the other hand, seemed to have expected this. He simply placed his hands behind his back and calmly looked at Chu Suiliang, who was bowing to him. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Everything is just as I thought!”
Li Ke nodded in his heart. Perhaps no one in this world understood Chu Suiliang better than him.
From the books he had read in his previous life, he knew that Chu Suiliang was going to be a powerful man in the future!
How could such a person not want to be an official? How was this possible?
Therefore, Li Ke understood that Chu Suiliang was not unwilling to be an official. He was just waiting for an opportunity, or rather, he was waiting for a suitable master.
This was why Chu Suiliang did not even want to talk to him when he did not reveal his identity the first time.
The second time he revealed his identity, Chu Suiliang was obviously hesitant, which was why the young man was delayed.
But in the end, Chu Suiliang still rejected him?
Why?
He still thought that although he was a prince, he was clearly not valued in this remote Yizhou. Now that the Crown Prince had been appointed, if nothing special happened, Crown Prince Li Chengqian would definitely inherit the throne. At that time, what good ending would the princes have?
Chu Suiliang did not want to follow a master who knew that he would not have a good ending.
But what about the words he wrote to Chu Suiliang the third time?
On the one hand, it was to match the couplet left by Chu Suiliang and show off his ability.
Of course, the most important thing was the meaning behind the second half of the couplet!
Monarch's teacher…If there was no Monarch, how could there be a Monarch's teacher?
With Chu Suiliang's intelligence, how could he not understand his thoughts?
Chu Suiliang was also very clear that he had already revealed such dangerous thoughts in front of him. If Chu Suiliang was still unwilling to follow him, the only outcome would be death!
Therefore, the smart Chu Suiliang finally made his own choice. Moreover, he seemed to be taking the initiative. This way, he could take the initiative and at least surrender.
Li Ke's gaze swept across Chu Suiliang. Seeing that Chu Suiliang's expression was very respectful, he smiled and took two steps forward to help Chu Suiliang up. He said,"Mr. Chu, you're too polite. I'm already very happy to see you today.”
When Chu Suiliang heard this, he quickly said,""Your Highness, I was rude in the past. I hope Your Highness can forgive me. However, in the future, I will follow Your Highness's lead and do my best for Your Highness until I die!”
Li Ke nodded and said with a smile,"Today, I came here to listen to your words. This king knows that everything is worth it.”
"In ancient times, Liu Bei had to visit the thatched cottage three times to invite Mister Wolong out of the mountain. Now, this king has invited Mister three times. If Mister can help this king in his great cause, won't it be a good story in the future?”
When Chu Suiliang heard Li Ke compare him to Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but be delighted.
All the strategists and civil officials, who didn't idolize Zhuge Liang?
Therefore, when he heard Li Ke's words, the smile on his face became even wider. He hurriedly made way and said,"Your Highness, it has been a tiring journey. Please rest inside.”
Li Ke naturally wouldn't refuse, so everyone entered Chu Suiliang's room one after another.
It was a very ordinary thatched cottage. The room was quiet and quiet, with only a table, two chairs, and a pot of tea.
Chu Suiliang personally poured a cup of tea for Li Ke, then picked up the second half of the couplet that Li Ke had just written and said,""Has Your Highness made up your mind?"
Although it seemed like a random question, Li Ke still nodded and said indifferently,"Counting all my brothers, this king does not believe that anyone can make the Great Tang improve. Thus, for the sake of the Great Tang, for the sake of the prosperity of the people, this king will do it even if he is unwilling!”
Chu Suiliang saw that Li Ke's expression was firm and his tone was calm. Even though he had said these " treasonous " words, he was still as steady as Mount Tai.
Not to mention anything else, just this calm temperament alone was already stronger than countless people.
He gritted his teeth and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes. In the next moment, he suddenly picked up the candlestick and placed the paper that Li Ke had written on above the candle flame, burning it completely.
"What are you doing? How can His Highness's calligraphy be treated like this?”
When He Chenglin saw Chu Suiliang burn Li Ke's handwriting, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Cheng Lin, retreat!"
However, Li Ke was not surprised by this. Instead, he berated He Chenglin.
When He Chenglin heard Li Ke's words, he only glared at Chu Suiliang fiercely before flinging his sleeves and walking behind Li Ke.
"It is truly a blessing for Your Highness to have such a loyal guard!”
Even though Chu Suiliang was viewed with hostility by He Chenglin, he still maintained his composure. He first praised He Chenglin, then bowed to Li Ke and said seriously,"Although the Yi Province is remote and far from prosperity, it is more suitable for accumulating power!”
"Therefore, I have a few gifts for Your Highness! This is a gift for a commoner to surrender to His Highness!”
"Oh? A gift?"
Li Ke's eyes suddenly flashed, and he sat up straight.
He knew Chu Suiliang's name very well, so he was very interested in Chu Suiliang's gift.
He wanted to know what kind of gift this person who could be passed down through the ages would give him when they met for the first time.
Could it be that he was also like Zhuge Liang, the middle of governing the country?
