"Yes! I believe anyone would be surprised. Who in the world doesn't want supreme power and endless wealth?" Zhao Lingzhen said and shook his head slightly, saying: "Do you still think that I am
Is he the one behind the scenes?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Although your daughter is extremely smart, she is still a woman. Obviously, everything she does is making wedding dresses for others. Apart from you, I really can't think of anyone else."
"It makes sense."
Zhao Lingzhen nodded slightly and said: "She did this for me, but it was definitely not my intention. She even tested me occasionally, but I severely reprimanded her every time. However, she
Wu Zi did not listen to what I said, and I opposed her doing this from beginning to end."
Li Qidao: "So, you already knew it."
Zhao Lingzhen hummed and said, "I know my son better than my father. I have indeed noticed it a long time ago."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Then you are lying."
Zhao Lingjie made a sound and said, "How do you say this?"
Li Qidao: "From everything you just said, it shows that you are a very careful person, and you are a very smart person. From the beginning to the end, you have been beating around the bush with me without leaving any clues. If you had known Yan earlier,
Yan Fu's plan and his objections, how could he come to me now? You must know that Yan Fu's plan is very fatal, no matter who it is.
If I'm not wrong, there must be some reason that prompted you to come to me. Otherwise, you might not come to me because you always think that Yan Fu is likely to succeed. You are just pretending to be stupid.
Just stunned."
After saying this, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked directly at Zhao Lingxie.
Zhao Lingzhen listened quietly, remained silent for a while, smiled and said: "The economic envoy is really quick-thinking. It can be said that you and I have never met, but you have understood me so thoroughly."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I am not smart, but this is actually not difficult to guess. If I were in your position, I would do the same thing. Because there are too many reasons worth a try."
"For example?"
Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's talk about this for example. I think you should show your sincerity now, otherwise there will be no progress if we continue to talk."
Zhao Lingzhen smiled bitterly and said, "You have seen through that I have no other choice but you."
"I just think sincerity is very important to both of you and me. I have shown my sincerity since I came here, and now it's your turn."
"What you said makes sense."
Zhao Lingzhen nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, when I was young, I had some thoughts, but as I got older, these thoughts disappeared. However, when I saw Song Jiang, Fang La
When others revolted, my Zhao family dynasty gradually weakened, and I saw that the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom joined forces to destroy the Liao Dynasty. I knew that my Song Dynasty was already in danger, but besides sulking at home, what else could I do, maybe
Because I didn't pay too much attention at the time and said some things that I shouldn't have said in front of Yan'er. As a result, she embarked on this road of no return."
Li Qi sighed: "As a father, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds. This is definitely an unforgivable mistake."
Zhao Lingzhen smiled and said: "You are right. I am indeed a very failed father. However, it is not me who really affects Yan'er, but you."
"Are you shirking responsibility?" Li Qi said angrily.
Zhao Lingxie said: "Of course not. Although the Song Dynasty was extremely corrupt at that time, due to the very special system of the Song Dynasty, it was still as solid as a rock internally. Without an opportunity, it would be difficult for you to make a difference, and your appearance will
It gave Yan'er a glimmer of hope. As your official position grew bigger and bigger, the power in your hands became bigger and bigger, which led Yan'er to decide to embark on this path of no return. But then again, if Yan'er
The bet she placed on you has been rewarded accordingly. She has no hope of success, but unfortunately, you did not live up to her wish. I still remember the day she came back from meeting you and brought the flowers in my garden.
, all the grass has been cut down.”
Li Qi avoided the important point and said lightly: "Then you don't feel very distressed."
Zhao Lingzhen shook his head and said, "I have long lost interest in these. She planted these flowers herself."
"Oh? She doesn't seem like a person with such a leisurely temperament."
"She has not loved these things since she was a child. The purpose of planting flowers is just for her to vent. Otherwise, she will burn all the books I have collected." When Zhao Lingzhen said this, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
This shemale is really a lunatic! Li Qi nodded and said: "I deeply sympathize with this. Since you already knew about my choice at that time, you should have dissuaded her, but you still didn't."
Zhao Lingxie said: "Once she decides to do something, it is difficult for anyone to change it."
Li Qi laughed and said: "I think it's more than that. One reason is that the Jin army went south, and the other reason is me. If I'm not wrong, you have been holding back until now because you have reservations about me."
Zhao Lingzhen raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, but immediately smiled and said: "Since you said it yourself, I won't hide it anymore. You are right. Now you are not the one lying on the street near Zeng."
You're a drunkard. I believe no one will dare to look down on you. Everything you do will make people doubt your purpose. I also never want my Zhao family to fall into the hands of others."
"I can understand this, but I'm curious as to what made you let go of your guard against me, so that you came to me. Don't talk about Yan Fu. I believe that Yan Fu is far less important in your heart than the Zhao family."
Li Qi asked.
"Kaier."
"Oh? It turns out to be His Highness!"
Zhao Lingzhen nodded and said: "Since Kai'er became the regent, I have seen everything he has done. It makes me very happy and makes me let go of everything. I have great confidence in him. As long as I have him
Now, our Song Dynasty will definitely move towards a prosperous age, and with your current strength, it will be difficult for you to cause trouble. Then, if the army comes to suppress the situation, I don't want to destroy my arms and cause trouble again."
"I see."
"I think I have shown enough sincerity. So, are you willing to save Yan'er?"
Li Qi was silent.
Zhao Lingzhen frowned and said: "In the final analysis, Yan'er has made it this far without any merit and trouble. Yes, she is indeed using you, but why aren't you also using her? In fact, you could have done it a long time ago
You told her your answer and asked her to give up as soon as possible, but you didn't do it either, why? Because this gave you one more choice, which was also a quite selfish decision of yours. Now that you have chosen, then you also
This should be remedied."
Li Qi did not deny that in this game of chess, he had reservations about everyone, whether it was Zhao Kai, Zhao Jingyan, or even Zhao Huan. He hoped to give himself as many options as possible, which was why he could
One of the reasons for surviving so far, said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but your status is very special, so special that I may suffer disaster, so I must be cautious. I still hope that you will come forward to stop her. I can
I don’t know what to do, but I hope you can get this done as soon as possible so that I don’t have to face her.”
After Zhao Lingzhen heard this, the smile on his face finally disappeared, replaced by anger, and said: "If I can stop things from getting to this point, then I won't come to beg you at all. Now for Yan'er, it's about to happen.
.I have to say it, and only you have the ability to stop her, otherwise I wouldn't be in a hurry to come to you."
Li Qi hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do about it. If I take action, I must do it fairly."
"What a good person to handle it fairly."
Zhao Lingzhen suddenly sneered and said, "You have to help me even if you don't want to help me with this."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"Yes."
Li Qi turned around and left.
Zhao Lingzhen was unmoved and said calmly: "Don't forget that my good nephew is still just the regent. Yan'er may not lose yet. I said that parents will never see their children in trouble.
And if I stand by and watch, I don't mind if both sides suffer."
Li Qideng stopped immediately, turned around, looked directly at Zhao Lingzhen, and said, "I believe you are already at the bottom of the pile."
Zhao Lingzhen nodded calmly and said, "Yes, actually I really don't want to go to this point."
"You seem very confident that I will definitely compromise."
"I have already prepared for you not to compromise."
"What's the plan?"
Zhao Lingzhen smiled and said: "It seems that you still have a bit of luck. You should know one thing very well. In the Song Dynasty, the emperor is the emperor and the regent is the regent. There is an essential difference between the two. If you want to change, there is no way.
To be biased in the slightest, I admire Kai'er very much, and I also hate my clan brother, but I can't let Yan'er become your stepping stone, because you can definitely choose a win-win situation."
Li Qi sat back, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Ginger is still hotter than old, you win."
Zhao Lingzhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Although I have been careful in every possible way, I still fell into your trap. Well, now that you have pushed my bottom line out, you should be satisfied."
"The Duke of Qing made serious statements. I never believe anything. This is just a habit developed from talking about business." Li Qi said with a smile. He just wanted to test what other cards Zhao Lingzhen had in his hand.
"You and Kai'er are the real winners. I just want to lose with dignity." Zhao Lingzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Then have you decided now?"
Li Qidao: "Since you have a trump card in your hand that I can't refuse, I won't talk nonsense. I can only promise you to protect Yan Fu's life, but I must get your help. You should also know that Yan Fu
She is not a woman to be trifled with."
"I promise you." Zhao Lingzhen breathed a sigh of relief. He felt his mouth was a little dry. He took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "After talking for so long, you seem to have not touched this cup of tea."
"I'm afraid you'll poison me."
Zhao Lingzhen laughed and said, "You are really honest."
"Thank you, thank you, I have always been an honest person." Li Qi smiled and shook his head, and said: "Look, we have talked so much, it can be said that we have been honest with each other. I have always had a question in my heart.
, if possible, I hope Duke Qing can solve this mystery for me."
Zhao Lingzhen said in surprise: "What's the question?"
"This---hehe, what happened to the sound of the candle shadow and the ax back then?" Li Qi asked with a gossipy face. This is a strange case through the ages, and he has always wanted to know.
Zhao Lingzhen was stunned and said with a smile: "Curiosity can kill people!"
"Haha, I'm just asking casually, just ask casually, just pretend I haven't asked anything." Li Qi wiped his sweat, and he also felt that his question was a bit too stupid.
