    In the study of Prince Qi's Mansion, Li Min was lying on a fur bed. It was already the middle of winter, the cold wind was blowing non-stop, and the weather was extremely gloomy. Although the stove was set up in the study, the room was very dark.  It was warm, but because he was weak, Li Min was still covered with a blanket, and next to him was the hot soup he had just taken a few sips of.

    However, Li Min did not come to the study to recuperate. He was now looking up and down at the two people standing in front of him with great interest. The leader was an old man with gray hair who looked to be in his sixties. He was tall and thin, with an ancient appearance and a large jaw.  There are three long strands of beard on the bottom, which looks very graceful.  The other person, Li Min, had met him several times and knew that he was Lu Hong's father, named Lu You, who held the position of Shang Youcheng.

    Just after breakfast this morning, the two people in front of me came to visit, and Li Min had been waiting for them for a long time, so as soon as he received the news, he immediately summoned them in the study. At the same time, he often introduced Lu You just now.  He also knew that the old man in front of him was none other than Lu Zuo, the patriarch of the Lu family in Fanyang. He was also here today because of the grudge between the Lu family and Prince Qi's palace.

    "Mr. Lu came all the way and took the trouble to visit the palace. I should have welcomed you personally. Unfortunately, Li Min has just recovered from a serious illness and is weak. He has to meet you two here. It is really disrespectful. Mr. Wanwang  Please forgive me!" Li Min said very politely, but there was still a faint expression on his face, not showing any apologetic expression at all.

    "His Royal Highness King Qi is very polite. I, a commoner, have taken the liberty of visiting you today. It is a great honor for me to be able to receive His Highness despite his illness. I really don't dare to take the word 'forgiveness' seriously!" Compared to Li Min's incomprehensible words, Lu  Zuo was extremely enthusiastic.  There was a constant smile on his face as he spoke, and he looked like he was really flattered.

    Damn it, your acting skills are so good, why don¡¯t you make a movie!  Li Min looked at the other party's flawless expression and cursed in his heart.  After forcing Lu to this point, it is estimated that old man Lu Zulu would like to eat him alive.  But if you look at their expressions, they are as polite as they should be, but there is no trace of fireworks at all.  It can be said that this kind of person has almost integrated acting skills into his life, and he can not only deceive others.  Sometimes you can even fool yourself.

    Compared with Lu Zuo, Li Min's concentration and acting skills are much inferior, so he won't be able to gain any advantage if he continues to lie. Moreover, the initiative is now on his side, so he goes straight to the point: "Mr. Lu,  My health has not recovered yet and I cannot receive outsiders for a long time. If you have nothing important to do, please come back!"

    Lu Zuo and Lu You are both human beings.  Seeing that Li Min didn't follow the routine, he knew that the other party wanted them to speak first, but usually the person who speaks first often loses momentum, especially in situations similar to negotiations.

    "Your Majesty, it's actually not a big deal, but I have a nephew named Lu Hong, who has been engaged to Mr. Cui for a long time. He was supposed to get married three years ago, but it's a pity that  Yes, his mother just passed away, so he stayed at home for three years. The mourning period just expired some time ago, and he wanted to hold the wedding before the year, so I rushed to Chang'an and shamelessly invited His Highness the King of Qi to attend his nephew's wedding.  wedding!"

    Lu Zuo is worthy of being an actor-level figure. He can speak in plain words so vividly, and his expressions are also extremely cooperative. When he talked about the death of Lu Hong's mother, his face showed a trace of sadness, and when he mentioned the wedding, his old face showed a trace of sadness.  She was so happy and the performer was both beautiful in appearance and spirit.

    Seeing the other party using this method to motivate him to speak first, Li Min smiled coldly. In fact, he didn't care about this at all, because with the advantage he currently had, he didn't need to care about these little tricks in negotiations.

    "Mr. Lu is worthy of being from the Fan Yang Lu family. He can tell lies with such a straight face, I really admire him!" Li Mian lazily circled around again, and after sarcastically mocking the Fan Yang Lu family, he spoke again, "  You and I both know what happened this time, so come up with your conditions!"

    Seeing that Li Min finally spoke first, Lu Zuo and Lu You looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They were already in a passive position. If they were at a disadvantage again in terms of momentum, they would be in trouble for this negotiation.  He was completely led by Li Min.

    "His Royal Highness King Qi is indeed a straightforward person. Since you said so, I won't be polite." Lu Zuo suddenly put away his smile, straightened his face, and the aura of a superior person immediately emerged. Now  He is the real patriarch of the Lu family. "Regarding this matter, no matter who is right or wrong, there is one unchangeable fact, that is, I, Mrs. Lu, have already been engaged to Mrs. Cui. If His Highness really  If you want that Cui girl, you must go through our Lu family to cancel the engagement, otherwise youYou can't even get the other person from afar!  "

    Lu Zuo changed the way he spoke just now. There were bones everywhere in his words. He was obviously trying to use Cui Mengxue's matter to seize the initiative in this negotiation from Li Min.

    "You are threatening me!" After hearing this, Li Min's face darkened and his voice became a little deeper. It was obvious that he had been aroused by the other party's performance.

    "Your Highness, I am just reminding you of a fact!" Lu Zuo replied without giving in.

    Li Min stared at the other party's old eyes for a while, then suddenly showed an unexpected smile and said in a conversational tone: "Okay, this is indeed a fact, so now please ask Mr. Lu to set out his own conditions.  !¡±

    Lu Zuo was stunned when he saw Li Min's performance. He didn't expect that the other party would 'give in' so easily. This was obviously too abnormal!  And the other party's expression didn't look passive at all, it looked like he was playing monkey tricks.

    Although this feeling was extremely unpleasant, Lu Zuo had no other choice. He could only look at Li Min suspiciously and said: "Your Highness, our request is not excessive. We just hope that you will wait in Youzhou and Yizhou."  Textile factories in several places have all been evacuated. As for the losses caused by the relocation of these factories, we Lu's will provide partial compensation. In addition, we Lu's will account for one-third of the emerging textile industry, and  From now on, there must be a seat for our Lu family in the Carboniferous Industry Association, so that we can at least get the same treatment as the Wang family in Taiyuan!"

    When Lu Zuo put forward his three requests, he kept staring at Li Min, trying to see something on his face, but unfortunately, Li Min always had an expression on his face that looked like a smile but not a smile, which made people laugh.  I can't guess what's going on in his mind?

    In order to get Li Min to agree to his conditions, Lu Zuo continued: "As long as His Highness agrees to these three conditions of our Lu family, then not only will we break off the engagement immediately, but we will also stop suppressing industry and commerce. I believe that this way  , the pressure on His Highness will definitely be reduced a lot!"

    The purpose of Lu Zuo's coming to Chang'an this time was not just because of the break-up of the engagement. The real purpose was to use the break-up of the engagement to reach a reconciliation with Li Min, and to withdraw from the suppression of industry and commerce in exchange for certain benefits.  , after all, the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are now at a disadvantage in the action of suppressing industry and commerce. Instead of holding on like this, it is better to take the lead in winning Li Min's understanding, withdraw from it, and achieve the purpose of preserving the family.

    Indeed!  Li Min's eyes narrowed after hearing this, and he glanced at the screen in the study unnaturally.  Although these aristocratic families are known as heirlooms of poems and books, they are actually a group of selfish people who put family interests first. No matter what the circumstances, as long as it is beneficial to the family, they will not hesitate to do it, even for this reason.  Let others bear the heavy cost.

    "If you, the Lu family, want to withdraw from the suppression of industry and commerce, aren't you afraid that you will be isolated and spurned by big families such as Cui, Li, Zheng, and Wang in the future?" Li Min did not comment on the conditions proposed by the Lu family, but instead asked with a smile.  Words come.

    "Why do you ask, Your Highness, knowingly?" Lu Zuo didn't seem to hear the irony in Li Min's words at all, and said without changing his expression, "As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Although I, Lu Zuo, am not talented, I can still see clearly.  Major events in the world, now that the climate of industry and commerce has become a reality, and with the guidance of people like His Highness, it is no longer something that we, the five surnames and the Seven Hopes, can suppress. Instead of carrying on like this, it is better to adapt to the current situation and work for  The family has made plans early!¡±

    When Lu Zuo said these words, his face was taken for granted, and he did not show any shame for betraying other aristocratic families. It seems that in his concept, he really puts the interests of the family at the highest position, as for integrity and so on.  Everything was thrown aside by him.

    "Oh? Since you Lu family can clearly see the general trend of the world, then there is a problem that I can't figure out." When Li Min said this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he stared at the other party fiercely and asked,  "Why did you, the Lu family, send people to attack my fleet when I passed by Weizhou?"

    Lu Zuo was well prepared, because he had already known from Lu Hong that Li Min had already guessed that it was the Lu family who sent people to attack his fleet, so he did not appear surprised and still said with a smile: "Your Highness,  We are all smart people, why do we care so much about such trivial matters? You must know that that attack was just a stage show, and it would not hurt you at all. The purpose was just to divert your attention. Unfortunately, His Highness is really clever.  I am willing to be defeated!"

    Li Min looked at the other party's indifferent expression and really wanted to slap him to death. Hundreds of people died that day, but according to the other party, it turned out to be just a show, and Wen Xin and the others were also frightened at that time.  Xijun is also pregnant. If he is frightened, his first child will be lost.

    &nbspThinking of this, Li Min suddenly felt a surge of unknown anger in his heart. He almost gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Very good, it is indeed a good show, and the conditions proposed by Mr. Lu are also very tempting.  But it¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t agree to any of the conditions you proposed!¡±
