Chapter 105: Grab chips with Lu Bu

"What does the Prime Minister want Zhu to do?" Mi Zhu said suspiciously.

Tao Shang pointed his hand and signaled that the Mi brothers and sisters should sit down first to show their courtesy to them.

The two sat down, and the Tao Shangfang said slowly: "You also know that my current official position is only the Prime Minister of Langya. This Prime Minister was still granted by Liu Bei. With the official position of Prime Minister of our country, how can you be granted the title of Prime Minister? So I want you to take my tribute to the emperor to Xuchang, and ask the court to issue an order to grant me the legitimate Xuzhou Governor."

Mi Zhu had a good political awareness. After hearing what the Tao merchant said, he immediately realized it.

Not long ago, news came from Xia Pi that Lu Bu had already taken over the governor of Xuzhou and clearly had the ambition to swallow the entire Xuzhou. If the pottery merchant wanted to compete with him for Xuzhou, he would naturally not have enough appeal by relying on the title of the prime minister of Langya, so he had to publicly declare that he was the governor of Xuzhou.

However, Lu Bu had a seal letter from Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was the governor of Xuzhou officially recognized by the court. Lu Bu, the governor of his own state, was more or less legal.

On the contrary, if the Tao merchant learned from Lu Bu and was also in charge of the governor of the state, he would not have any legality and would have obviously been inferior to Lu Bu's appeal.

So he decided to send Mi Zhu to Xuchang, go to the court and fight for Cao Cao a legitimate Xuzhou governor, so that he could completely overwhelm Lu Bu politically.

Everyone knows that the emperor in Xuchang is just a puppet in Cao Cao's hands, but the emperor's will still represent the righteousness. With this banner of righteousness, the pottery merchant can uprightly attack Lu Bu, a "discreet traitor".

Although this banner of righteousness has limited strength bonus to the pottery merchant, he will not let him go even if he has the same strength as Lu Bu.

As for why Mi Zhu was sent, the reason was very simple. When he was sent to the court, he had to send at least a famous person. These generals under the command of Tao Shang were mostly summoned heroes. Their abilities were better than Mi Zhu, but in this world, their reputation was far less than Mi Zhuxiang.

"What, Zizhong, don't you want to take this job?" Tao Shang saw that Mi Zhu was a little hesitant.

Mi Zhu shook his head quickly, "Of course Zhu is willing, but Zhu has limited influence in the court. He is not sure that he will definitely be able to obtain the position of governor of the state for the lord, and he may lose his trust."

Mi Zhu's name has changed, calling Tao Shang the lord, but he lacks confidence.

"It's up to people. After you arrive in Xuchang, you don't need to rush to see Cao Cao first. But you can spread everywhere how powerful Lu Bu is and how poor my strength is. Sooner or later, I will be annexed by Lu Bu. I think Cao Cao will allow me to ask for it." A playful smile flashed through the eagle's eyes.

When Mi Zhu heard Tao Shang's advice, he was stunned at first, and then he showed a sudden look of enlightenment.

Not long ago, Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou and fought with Cao Cao so hard that he almost forced Cao Cao to death. He forced him to drive Lu Bu to Xuzhou.

In the eyes of the pottery merchant, Cao Cao would definitely regard Lu Bu as a potential threat. If he learned that this threat was rekindled, he would have the possibility of capturing the entire Xuzhou and posed a huge threat to its ruling area from the east. With Cao Cao's plan, he would never sit idly by.

The Taoist merchant’s plan was to take advantage of Cao Cao’s fear of Lu Bu, forcing him to enthrone the position of Xuzhou Mu to himself and use his power to restrain Lu Bu.

"Lord, wise, Zhu knows how to do it." Mi Zhu praised Tao Shang and happily took the job.

Being able to be given the important task of serving as a mission by the pottery merchant fully demonstrates the value of the pottery merchants to him. If he can make such a contribution to the pottery merchants, he will be able to gain a foothold in the pottery merchant camp. Mi Zhu will naturally not let go of such an excellent opportunity.

He was about to take a break, but he glanced at his silent sister Mi Zhen, so he coughed a few times and laughed, "There is another thing that Zhu doesn't know whether to talk or not."

The potter nodded and signaled that he would say anything.

"It's like this. Mr. Tao first decided on this marriage for the sister-in-law and the lord. I wonder when the lord will marry the sister-in-law?" Mi Zhu asked with a smile. As for the previous breakup, it was just pretend that it had never happened.

As soon as this said, Mi Zhen's face suddenly turned red and she glared at her brother in resentment, blaming him for not mentioning his marriage in this public occasion.

Tao Shang was also stunned, and then understood why he wanted to bring his sister to him. It turned out that this was a plan to make the beauty, and wanted to re-introduce the marriage and use marriage to ensure the interests of his family.

He couldn't help but sigh at Mi Zhu's nature as a businessman. For the sake of the family's interests, he could even ignore his face and actually had the nerve to re-engage. Don't forget that their brother and sister forced him to break the engagement.

The pottery did not answer Mi Zhu, but looked at Mi Zhen with a shy face and said lightly: "My pottery has always done what she said. Since there is a marriage contract, I will naturally abide by it. But I think Miss Mi seems reluctant, and I pottery is not forced to do anything. As long as you speak, I will cancel the engagement with a big pen."

The former pottery merchant refused to break off the engagement many times, because he wanted to fight for a breath and deliberately disgusted the Mi family and Liu Bei.

The situation is different now. If the Mi family begged him to marry, if the Tao merchant was still happy and asked for an unsuccessful agreement, what would the man's pride be?

His words were meant to show that I, Tao Shang, is not a woman, and your eldest lady from the Mi family is not a rare national treasure, so I must marry her.

When Mi Zhu heard this, his face turned pale and he looked at his girl awkwardly.

Mi Zhen's eyebrows were already condensed into a ball, and her dignified and beautiful face couldn't help but blush, and she felt a little annoyed.

It is shameful to take the initiative to come to ask for marriage with a big girl. Now the attitude of the Tao merchant is not only not happy at all, but is still lukewarm, which makes Mi Zhen feel even more humiliated.

Although she was angry, Mi Zhen knew that she deserved it. Who made her come to the door and asked to break off the engagement so aggressively? The attitude of the pottery merchant is now very normal, just one report to another.

Taking a deep breath, Mi Zhen slowly stood up, looking at Tao Shang with clear eyes, and said with neither humility nor arrogantly: "Ministress had confessed to the young master before that there were only two conditions for a civilian girl to choose a husband. One is to be beneficial to my Mi family, and the other is that that person must be a hero of the world."

Mi Zhen actually said so frankly and was not polite. Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard this, for fear of annoying Tao Shang, and he couldn't help but sweat from his forehead.

Mi Zhen continued, but without fear, "The young lady admitted that I had taken a blind eye and misjudged Liu Bei. The young master also used his actions to prove that the young master was the one who should choose. Since the young master asked about the young lady's attitude, the young lady would tell frankly that I sincerely wanted to marry the young master. If the young master resented what I did and was unwilling to marry me, I would have no complaints, and everything would be decided by the young master."

After a clear and straightforward word, there was silence in the lobby.

Gan Mei and all the people who were serving each other looked at Mi Zhen in surprise, but they didn't expect her to say such words.

The pottery was also surprised.

He didn't expect that Mi Zhen was so calm and could talk about his marriage so calmly in front of so many people, without any embarrassment or shyness.

What surprised him even more was Mi Zhen's confession. He did not apologize to himself in humility and shame, but beg for his forgiveness. Instead, he admitted the mistake of his original choice and the real purpose of her decision to marry him now.

Mi Zhen's calmness and her frankness made Tao Shang invisibly less resentful and more appreciate the woman who left her name in history.

"It's true that he is the sister of a businessman. All three words are inseparable from the word "right" Tao Shang raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Mi Zhu heard that there was a sarcastic feeling in his words, and even said that Tao Shang was annoyed by his sister's straightforwardness. He was so scared that he looked panicked. He hurriedly wanted to explain and plead for his sister.

Before he could speak, the Taoist merchant raised his hand and signaled him not to say anything.

Then, he looked at the frank, calm, dignified and beautiful face and smiled slightly, "But, you are frank enough. The frank talk of the word "little" is better than a hypocrite who speaks kindness and morality but is profit-oriented in private. I like it very much."

As soon as the words "I like it very much", Mi Zhen's flawless face suddenly turned red, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes as clear as ice.

She couldn't stand the pressure from her brother, but she couldn't stand the humiliation of putting her cold butt on her hot face. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she simply said everything she kept in her heart. After venting her, she felt a little regretful.

But she didn't expect that the pottery merchant was so arrogant. Not only was he not angry, but he also said, "I like it very much."

What do you like? I like my candidity? Or someone who likes me?

Mi Zhen couldn't figure it out, so she gritted her teeth and asked loudly: "Since you said you like it, will you marry me?" Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
