Chapter 1875 I'll give you two concubines
With Pei Mingli's joining, Li Shen felt like he was even more powerful.
The efficiency of Prince Ji's Mansion will be greatly improved. Otherwise, Wang Hongfu will have to wait until he finishes one thing before he can do the next.
Of course, Pei Mingli had just joined, so Li Shen naturally couldn't trust him completely. Although Pei Mingli came from a poor family and had no backing, he still had to be tested.
There are too many secrets in Prince Ji’s Mansion, and revealing the formula of each industry can create a powerful person.
Li Shen had to be cautious. Who knew if Pei Mingli was a pawn of the noble family?
Waiting for yourself to take the bait.
They have been able to carefully plan the affairs of Xizhou for several years, so what is impossible?
Pei Mingli felt much more at ease at this moment. Since he had chosen to join the Prince Ji's Mansion, he might as well make the best of it. There was nothing to hesitate about.
Maybe it is really as King Ji said, I can live a more exciting life and see scenery that others cannot see.
"Someone, please invite Duke Chen in." After being happy for a while, Li Shen shouted to the outside of the door.
After a while Hou Junji walked in.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, how did the conversation go?" Hou Junji asked with a smile after he came in.
"This prince has finally achieved his wish and invited Mr. Pei to join Prince Ji's mansion. This is also a blessing for this prince and Prince Ji's mansion."
Li Shen replied with a smile.
Hearing Li Shen's words, Pei Mingli saluted quickly:
"Your Highness Prince Ji is too polite. Minister Hou, I am grateful to Your Highness Prince Ji for making me understand and move me with emotion. I am grateful for your kindness.
I am willing to join Prince Ji’s Mansion.
Thank you, Minister Hou, for your care over the years. I am grateful.”
He knew that Prince Ji was honoring him and giving him enough face, and he couldn't help feeling grateful.
He was just a small official, but the great Prince Ji used the word "invite" to recruit him. When the news spread, his value increased exponentially.
"Agreed?" Hou Junji was stunned at first. Just now he thought that Prince Ji would fail because he could see that Pei Mingli's attitude was very firm.
Moreover, in his opinion, if it were him, he would not give up his bright future and work as a fifth-rank official in a prince's mansion for the rest of his life.
Pei Mingli was not short of money. But he did not expect that Pei Mingli would agree in just a short while.
He was very curious about how Prince Ji convinced Pei Mingli. Was it really through coercion or inducement?
Thinking of this, Hou Junji laughed:
“Hahahaha, congratulations to King Ji, congratulations to King Ji, King Ji has achieved his wish and gained another outstanding person.
I wonder what method did Prince Ji use to get Pei Yuanwailang to surrender? I am quite curious about this."
"Actually..." Pei Mingli was about to explain when he heard Li Shen say:
"It's nothing, actually. Pei Yuanwailang is a man of great loyalty and courage, and he has decided to reimburse the court. I have used coercion and bribery to force Pei Yuanwailang to do so.
It fully demonstrates the spirit of a scholar, which makes me admire him extremely.
Finally, I promised to give him a concubine, and he agreed.
If Minister Hou is willing to come to my Ji Wang Mansion to work, I can give you two concubines, how about that? "
"Ah?" Hou Junji's brain paused for a moment. He said no before, but later you agreed to take a concubine?
And what does it mean to give me two concubines in the end? As the Duke of Chen, do I need two concubines?
He also wants me to work in Prince Ji's Palace. Unless His Majesty has the order, which Duke would go to scout a prince? Isn't that shameful?
He knew that Prince Ji was talking nonsense, but he also meant it to tease him.
Pei Mingli, who was trying to explain, also had a dark face. He had already retracted his previous thoughts. What Prince Ji said about wanting to elevate himself was all a lie.
Are you lifting yourself up because you want to fall harder?
He was talking so well at the beginning, but in the end he actually succumbed to a concubine? Which scholar has such character?
This is not character, it's clearly romanticism.
Wang Xuance on the side gave Pei Mingli a comforting look, meaning that you'll get used to it. As I just said, you'll know what Prince Ji is like after a while.
"Does Minister Hou think two concubines are not enough? But this is already a lot, and I am also considering Minister Hou's health.
Doctor Sun said that excessive lust is harmful to the body and lust is the root of all evil, so don’t be greedy.”
Seeing that Hou Junji didn't say anything, Li Shen advised Hou Junji with an innocent face.
It's like I'm really doing this for your own good.
Hou Junji was inexplicably furious after seeing this. If this guy wasn't a prince, he would have beaten him to death.
Even now that he knew he was a prince, Hou Junji still had the urge to kick this guy to death.
He is a Duke, but he was inexplicably educated by this playboy.
What do you mean you think it's not enough? It's like you're a pervert.
It is so lewd and hurtful. I am afraid that this is what Sun Simiao said to you. Hou Junji kept cursing in his heart and said with disdain on his face:
"Haha, I don't have the good fortune to serve in Prince Ji's mansion, so I think it's better for Your Highness Prince Ji to enjoy the two concubines.
This old minister is very satisfied with his current position as Minister of War."
"Really? That's a pity. I really want to recruit Minister Hou.
But since Minister Hou is unwilling, I will not force you. I can only say that you are not destined to be with me.
I will give those two concubines to Pei Mingli.
If Minister Hou wants something, you can tell me. As long as you come to my Prince Ji's mansion, I will keep my promise and give you two concubines, or even three."
Li Shen said with a look of regret as he shook his head.
"I, your honor, would like to thank His Highness Prince Ji." Hou Junji bowed with a forced smile.
I continued to criticize Li Shen in my heart, why didn't Your Majesty beat this guy to death?
If it were my own son, beating him eight times a day would not be enough, and hanging him up and whipping him would not satisfy me.
"You don't have to be polite, Minister Hou. Since there is nothing else to do, I will take my people away first. There will be an official letter from the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow.
When I return, I will write a memorial to report to Your Majesty.
As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... never mind, he may not know Pei Mingli anyway."
Li Shen waved his hand, and was about to leave with Pei Mingli and Wang Xuance.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, according to the rules, Mr. Pei still has to hand over the matters at hand before he can leave.
Why don't you let him take over first?" Hou Junji's words were not meant to be difficult, this was the normal transfer procedure.
Li Shen naturally understood that no matter which dynasty he worked in, he had to notify in advance when leaving and complete the handover procedures.
But Li Shen shook his head and said:
“Of course, but not today. I still want to take Pei Mingli to a restaurant for a big meal to welcome him to Prince Ji’s mansion.
Let's do it tomorrow. Let him come to the Ministry of War to take over tomorrow. Given his position, one day is enough.
I wonder what Minister Hou thinks?"
“Your Highness Prince Ji cares for his subordinates, which makes this old minister admire you. If that’s the case, then you can just hand over the position tomorrow.
This old minister respectfully bids farewell to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Hou Junji replied with a smile.
