To say niceties before this was just surface level politeness, but this phrase, "to become your disciple," is the real deal.
Dantai Jingzhi hadn't expected Li Yinhu to be so fearless.
Li Yinhu, no matter what, is a legitimate prince of the Great Qin Empire, with a noble status.
And although Dàntái Jìng's reputation was high, in terms of status, he was previously just a villager. Now, although he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, a Minister of the Cabinet, before the royal family, he is still a subject.
At their core, the relationship is still one of master and servant.
So, Li Yinhu lowering himself to this extent is a bit of a disregard for his status.
In Dantai Jing's view, it was just excessive enthusiasm.
He didn't know about the entanglement between Li Ynhu and Li Chen, but he also understood one thing: the current situation was precarious. The emperor was in a coma, and it was unclear when he might pass away. With the crown prince acting as regent unable to ascend the throne, getting too close to a prince wasn't a good idea at all.
"Your Highness's status is noble, yet this old minister is already senile. To be a disciple under you is something that fills this old minister with great trepidation. I beg Your Highness to reconsider."
Dàntái Jìng politely clasped his hands together and quickly refused.
Li Yinhu was taken aback. Although Dantang Jingzhi's words were polite, his attitude was very firm.
He subconsciously glanced at the East Palace gate and immediately understood. "It was Your Highness's oversight," he said, "This isn't a place for conversation. This evening, Your Highness will host a banquet at my residence, please do grace us with your presence!"
Seeing that Li Yinhu hadn't understood his meaning at all, and instead seemed to have misunderstood it, Tantai Jingzhi quickly said, "King Zhao..."
"Sir, Little Wang understands."
Li Yinhu interrupted Dantai Jing's words, showing a knowing smile that said, "You don't need to explain. I understand." He continued, "Xiao Wang only admires your talent, sir. There are absolutely no other thoughts or intentions behind his actions. Furthermore, since you are new to the capital city, many things might be inconvenient for you, such as lacking certain supplies. Please just let Xiao Wang know if there's anything you need, and I will definitely do my best to help."
Li Yinhu's words reminded Dantang Jingzhi all at once.
He was worried right now because of the issue of gift money. If this King Zhao in front of him were willing to be generous...
Thinking of this, Dantai Jingzhi didn't refuse either. He said, "Since the Prince is so kind, then tonight this old minister will have to trouble you."
Li Yinhu, seeing this, became even more certain that he had a great grasp on bringing Dantang Jingzhi over to his side. He laughed loudly and said: “Then Mr. Wang should go back and prepare now, and please be sure to come. I will definitely be at the door to welcome you.”
They exchanged a few pleasantries and then parted ways.
And after they parted ways, all the content of their meeting and conversation was instantly relayed to Li Chen's ears.
"Dàntái Jìng zhī hé Lǐ Yín hǔ"
Li Chen raised his head, frowned and said something, then shook his head. "Don't interfere, continue to investigate, see what they are discussing. These two people, they can't walk together in the end."
It wasn't that Li Chen was overconfident, but he understood Duantaijing.
This renowned figure, with a noble spirit and an inherent pride in his scholarship, wouldn't have deigned to enter the government service unless he had firmly grasped the strings of his vulnerability.
Even though he's now in the court, deep down he still doesn't want to stay in politics for long. You can tell by the fact that he hasn't even stepped into the cabinet office once; his ambitions lie elsewhere.
And who is Li Yinhǔ
Those who stop at nothing to achieve their goals are ruthless and cruel.
Such people are precisely what Dantai Jing looks down upon the most.e him, were throngs of Beijing citizens who had come to watch, braving the heavy rain.Most people don't know the reason behind these events, they only know that King Li Yinhu of Former Zhao rebelled....
