Letting Prince Teng participate in the road construction project was not Li Qinzai's last-minute idea.
This position originally required someone with a noble enough status and a bastard to sit. Originally, Li Qinzai's preference was not for Prince Teng, but for those dandies like Xue Ne or Gao Qi.
But who is it that King Teng appeared at this moment? It happened that he wanted to stay in Chang'an for retirement, and he happened to increase the money...
Isn't this a coincidence? This is not it.
Anyway, you need a bastard to do things. Old bastards are more powerful than little bastards. The bastard flavor in Prince Teng is much purer than that of Xue Ne. He has many years of bastard experience at first glance.
Although you can't crush others in terms of IQ, you can start to get confused, and the effect of physical crushing is more direct.
But King Teng was very unhappy. It was not that he was unhappy with the errand arranged by Li Qinzai, but that he was dissatisfied with his title.
"Who is the bastard? How come I am the bastard? Let's stand together and let outsiders evaluate us. Who is the bastard? I am obviously the victim."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "That's probably what I mean. Your Highness doesn't need to care about the title. The thing is true. There is indeed a lack of such a person to supervise the subsequent road construction project."
Prince Teng asked doubtfully: "If I take this job, Your Majesty will allow me to stay in Chang'an?"
Li Qinzai said seriously: "Your Highness should not underestimate this matter. Your Majesty attaches great importance to it. In the next few years, the imperial court will spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build roads. It will soon become a national policy of the Tang Dynasty, a 'national policy'
Do you understand, Your Highness?"
Prince Teng's expression suddenly became solemn. Of course he understood the meaning of "national policy", which means that he must carry out this matter to the end regardless of the cost, material resources, and reward, and every generation of emperors must continue to carry it out, just like the Tang Dynasty.
Today’s policies to encourage childbearing are the same.
Li Qinzai added: "As for this matter, as expected, there will be many obstacles. The obstacles come from the court, local officials, or aristocratic families. This national policy may not be recognized by everyone."
"What Your Highness has to do is to give full play to your arrogant and bastard character. Whether it's reasoning or shaking your fists, you can push down those who don't agree or understand. No matter whether they are willing or not, you have to let them hold you down.
"
King Teng was both happy and angry when he heard this.
Fortunately, if you agree to this job, you will be hugging the emperor's thigh tightly and sharing the emperor's worries. From now on, the history of Prince Teng's lineage being disliked by the emperor will be gone forever.
What makes me angry is that I am obviously an elegant and famous person. I used to drink wine, recite poems and caress with the literati from all over the world, but in the eyes of Li Qinzai, my shining point is actually my arrogant and bastard side.
I really wanted to turn the table over, but for the sake of his future, Prince Teng held back.
My mood at the moment is very complicated, like eating a piece of chocolate that tastes like shit...
"By accepting this errand, will I be able to stay in Chang'an?" King Teng asked worriedly.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Yes, and I guarantee that His Majesty will treat you differently, but this job still requires you to travel to various places to supervise and supervise the progress of projects in various places and suppress those who are dissatisfied."
King Teng was dissatisfied and said: "Why do you still have to travel around? What's the difference between this and being demoted constantly?"
Li Qinzai half-smiled and said, "Your Highness, use your brain to think carefully. What is the difference between the two?"
Prince Teng was shocked and immediately figured it out.
The difference is huge.
One was demoted, and the emperor wanted to kick him to the edge of the earth, out of sight.
One is to be ordered by the emperor to patrol hunting on behalf of the sky, stick to his word and flog him, and gradually gain the emperor's favor by sharing the emperor's worries, and the lineage of King Teng is no longer excluded by the royal family.
I have to say, the difference is huge.
Li Qinzai said calmly: "If Your Highness is not willing, I will pretend that I have never met you today, and I will go find someone else... I have already chosen someone else for this job, and you just happened to show up."
Just as he was about to stand up, Prince Teng quickly grabbed him with a bright smile on his face.
"Uncle Li County, nephew Li Xian, why are young people so impatient? When did I say that I no longer wanted to?"
Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows: "Prince Teng, please don't force yourself. If you are unwilling, it will seem like I owe you a huge favor. In fact, it is quite good to go to Hongzhou and become a vassal. No one will control you, and you will be free."
comfortable……"
"If Your Highness decides to go to Hongzhou, I would like to give you a free copy of "The Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" so that every little bastard in the next thousand years will not be able to escape the fate of memorizing the entire text and dictating it."
Prince Teng said without hesitation: "No! I won't go to Hongzhou until I die! I accepted this errand and asked Uncle Li to help me."
Li Qinzai's smile suddenly faded, and he showed a businesslike face: "Get a pen and paper and write an IOU. The specific amount refers to the amount you gave me last time in Bingzhou. Thank you."
We are not familiar with each other, let alone have fought before, so the help cannot be in vain.
Prince Teng was very happy this time. He immediately wrote down the IOU, dried the ink carefully and presented it to Li Qinzai.
Until this moment, there was finally a sense of "the host and guest having fun".
Each other got what they wanted, and the looks in each other's eyes became affectionate.
"If this comes to pass, I will invite County Uncle Li to have a good time in the best pavilion in Chang'an City." The old man showed his true colors.
"Have fun...? Don't you want to eat?" Li Qinzai said in confusion.
Prince Teng made a sneer in his mouth: "What are you going to eat? With your status and my status, what delicacies have you never tasted? You are no longer interested in them for a long time. Of course, the most interesting people in the pavilion are girls. I heard that after Baekje was destroyed, there were many
The clan members, ministers, wives and daughters of Baekje Kingdom were captured and sent to Pingkangfang brothel in Chang'an City..."
"It's exciting to think about clan members and their wives and daughters," King Teng's eyes glowed like a wolf, and he couldn't help but licked his lips and said, "Especially my wives, tsk, other people's mothers-in-law, if they are...
I fell asleep and I don’t know what it feels like..."
Li Qinzai couldn't help but glance at him in surprise. He didn't expect that the dignified vassal king was actually a Cao Cao thief. This hobby... well, let's not pretend, it is really exciting.
The atmosphere had reached this point. After all, Li Qinzai was also Mu Shaoai's young man, so he subconsciously blurted out: "I have a friend who wants to know the specific name and address of the store..."
Prince Teng glanced at him with disdain.
Li Qinzai explained seriously: "This friend of mine is very pure. He just wants to have a drink and listen to music...that's all!"
Prince Teng twitched the corner of his mouth, hehe.
He patted his butt and stood up. This young man is hypocritical and thick-skinned. He also likes to pretend to be innocent. He is not a stranger. From now on, it is better to maintain a pure relationship of mutual use. For invitations to brothels, you should go with like-minded people.
"I'll leave everything to Uncle Li. I'll take my leave." Prince Teng just took a step forward, then stopped and stared at him with a serious expression: "One yard at a time, stay away from my daughter!"
