Chapter 1146: Convert to Buddhism? Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass)
Why does this kid's mind spin so fast? He can tell it if I let out a little hint. It's good to be young!
The shameless Wang Zhongling blamed all this on Li Qi's age. He nodded with a smile and said: "You guessed it right. As soon as Gao Taiwei returned to Beijing, he immediately went to see the emperor and said that he was ill.
The third government office was already beyond its capabilities and asked Zhi Shi to go home and recuperate."
As expected of Brother Qiu, his ability to protect himself wisely was really to the extreme. Li Qi had to admire Gao Qiu in his heart. This trick was really beautiful. If he, like Li Bangyan, refused to give up the power in his hands, then
This will cause a lot of trouble for Zhao Kai. Even though Li Qi controls the imperial army in the capital, the imperial army in the capital is just a part of the imperial army. There are many imperial troops all over the country.
However, Gao Qiu stayed in this position for decades. Although he was not impressive, if he did not have any hard power in his hands, relying only on Song Huizong's favor for him, Cai You, Tong Guan, Li Bangyan and others
How can they be afraid of him? It can be seen that he is still very powerful in Sanya, which Li Qi knows very well.
Not only that, Gao Qiu also had a network of people in the court, that is, the Su family. Although Su Shi had died long ago, his disciples were all over the government and the public, and Gao Qiu was very close to these people. When he was in power, he often helped others.
They said good things, so even if Zhao Kai wanted to eradicate Gao Qiu at that time, it would not be an easy task.
But Gao Qiu also knew that the situation was over now. If he continued to fight with Zhao Kai, it would be a dead end. He also knew very well that he had no grudges with Zhao Kai. If Zhao Kai wanted to touch him, it must be because of the power in his hands.
, the power he dreamed of before is now a hot potato. If he doesn't throw away this hot potato quickly, there will be endless troubles.
Li Qi nodded and said, "The captain is really wise!" But he thought to himself, it would be great if my father-in-law could have such great wisdom.
"Who can say otherwise? In the past, the Taiwei rarely participated in the battles in the court. Now, in both the government and the public, he is the only one who understands the situation best." Wang Zhongling said with a face full of gossip: "That's not all. It is said that the Taiwei also
I donated a sum of money to the emperor as military pay to fight against the Jin Dynasty."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi asked curiously: "How much did you donate?"
"We don't know about that." Wang Zhongling shook his head and said, "But it is said that the Taiwei spent all his money, which is at least 400,000 yuan."
"Four hundred thousand yuan?"
Li Qi took a sharp breath and said to himself, "Good guy, I spent several years cheating money to get three or four hundred thousand guan. You just made a move and it was 400,000 guan. Maybe more than that. You can't let anyone live. You are worthy of it."
I, the richest businessman in Tokyo, asked again: "What about the workshops under the Taiwei? And the Cuju Alliance."
Wang Zhongling said: "Those haven't moved yet."
Brother Qiu is Brother Qiu. With these enterprises, he doesn't have to worry about not getting the money back. I'm convinced. Li Qi said: "Then the emperor should be very grateful for what Taiwei has done."
Wang Zhongling said: "It goes without saying. After meeting the Taiwei, the emperor was very happy. The next day, he appointed the Taiwei as Cuju Marquis to take care of the Cuju League and other matters."
Damn it! Could it be that he is the first director of the National Sports Administration in history? That’s awesome! Li Qi smiled and nodded, saying: “What about the Grand Master’s family?”
Wang Zhongling said: "At that time, the Grand Master also requested to become an official because of his old age, but the Emperor did not approve it. Not only that. Except for Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others, the Emperor has not moved the rest of them for the time being, but these people are trembling every day.
, some people are even ready to fight to the death, do you know when the emperor will take action?"
Sweat! I don’t even know what is going on in the court now. How do I know what Zhao Kai is planning? Li Qi shook his head and said: "I just came back. How do I know this? By the way, is the Supreme Emperor okay now?"
Wang Zhongling sighed and said: "We don't know much about this. The Supreme Emperor has been staying in Longting Garden since he retreated, and we have never seen him again."
The implication is that the Supreme Emperor has been placed under house arrest.
Li Qi felt that this was certain. Now that Zhao Kai's regime was not stable, Song Huizong and Zhao Huan were two key figures. During this period, Zhao Kai would not allow them to have any contact with the outside world. Once the situation was completely stabilized,
In the end, maybe the father and son will get some freedom.
Seeing that Li Qi was silent, Wang Zhongling suddenly asked: "My dear nephew, when do you plan to go to court?"
It was already obvious that Zhao Kai had to wait for Li Qi to come back before he started to rectify his internal affairs. In other words, once Li Qi came to court, earth-shaking changes would surely take place in the court. However, there were also many difficulties in this process.
The key is how Zhao Kai and Li Qi plan to make this move. If they can know it in advance, it is a very critical piece of news for any politician.
This is also the main purpose of Wang Zhongling coming here.
Of course, the previous guests also wanted to get some information from Li Qi.
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I don't have the mind to care about this at the moment. You know my father-in-law's affairs must be dealt with first before we can take this step."
What he said made sense. Wang Zhongling nodded and said seriously: "My dear nephew, no matter what, it's really thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I might not be able to escape the fate of being demoted."
Li Qi's mind was entirely on Bai Qiannuo, and he said casually: "Uncle Wang is serious. To put it bluntly, Uncle Wang himself is valuable. This is the main reason. I am just recommending a talent to the emperor."
, nothing more.”
How can this not sound good? This is obviously a compliment to Wang Zhongling!
This kid is really good at talking. Wang Zhongling felt very comfortable after hearing this. Did you hear that I didn't go through the back door, I climbed up by my own ability. Suddenly his eyes glanced left and right and he said: "My dear nephew, what is your marriage to my daughter?"
---."
"What? Marriage? What marriage?"
Wang Zhongling said: "Of course it's you and Sanniang. Don't you want to take responsibility?"
Damn it! Here comes this trick again. I bear the responsibility of your sister. I am already entangled here, and you still come to make trouble for me. Forget it, forget it, let’s make it clear to him. Li Qi said helplessly: "Wang
Uncle, to be honest, my wife and I are really innocent and nothing happened. What you saw before was all an illusion. Your wife was afraid that you and your wife would quarrel with her, so she asked me to give you a few perfunctory words. In the future, please ask Uncle Wang.
If you don't open your mouth or shut up, you are being responsible, and I'm scared to hear it."
Wang Zhongling's expression changed, and he said: "It's so innocent. My little girl has become a monk for you. Is this still false?"
"A monk?"
Li Qi was shocked and said: "Madam, she has become a monk."
"Isn't that right? After you fell into the river, my daughter became disheartened, so--ahem, you'd better ask the emperor for an imperial edict when you are free someday."
You want an imperial edict? Damn it! You think the imperial edict is wholesaled by my family, you damn old thing. Madam, she will become a monk for me. Is it true or false, and she is still disheartened? Is it such an exaggeration? No, if madam becomes a monk,
The red slaves should have told me last night. Huh, this old guy must be plotting against me again. Li Qi raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "Where is Madam becoming a monk?"
"Well...."
Wang Zhongling was silent and looked a little embarrassed.
Sure enough, mother, you want to trick me again. Li Qi said: "If Uncle Wang doesn't know where Madam is a monk, then even if I want to find her back, I won't be able to do it."
Wang Zhongling smiled and said: "My dear nephew, my daughter did not go to the temple to become a nun as you imagined, but her heart has been converted to Buddhism. She is now in the Qin Mansion, but she has been shut up all day.
Stay in the Buddhist hall of Qin Mansion."
Convert to Buddhism? Li Qi exclaimed: "Really? That would be terrible."
"How do you say this?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "She still owes me hundreds of flowers. She has converted to Buddhism, so no one has taken care of the flowers in the garden. They must have all died. Oh, what a pity."
Wang Zhongling was stunned and said hurriedly: "You can rest assured. As far as I know, my little girl still takes good care of those flowers. You also know that my little girl doesn't have any preferences in life, just these flowers."
Li Qi's face suddenly changed and he said angrily: "Uncle Wang, please stop bullying my nephew in the future. Madam, she used to go to the garden in the morning and the Buddhist hall in the afternoon. It was difficult to take a step out of the door. It has been the same for ten years. Now,
It’s no different from before. Where did you start becoming a monk?”
"Yeah?"
Since Mrs. Qin passed away from the Qin family, Wang Zhongling has never understood Mrs. Qin's life very well.
Li Qidao: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Tao."
Wang Zhongling's plan failed and he didn't make any plans. He said shamelessly: "Don't believe it yet. My little girl is very different from before. You can go and see!"
Li Qidao: "Don't worry, of course I will go visit my wife. Also, Uncle Wang, don't worry about this. I still have a lot of things to deal with here. I'm tired enough. Just treat me as
Please do it."
Wang Zhongling said depressedly: "You are favoring one over the other."
I'm being kind to you. Li Qi was a little speechless and ordered him to leave: "Uncle Wang, let's talk about this for today. I have to go to the White House later. You know the reason."
Wang Zhongling saw Li Qi's impatient look and felt aggrieved. He thought to himself, my daughter is unparalleled in talent and beauty, even better than Qiniang. You kid doesn't cherish her at all. It's really unreasonable.
But Li Qi was several levels higher than him anyway, so Wang Zhongling could only stand up and say goodbye.
Li Qi saw Wang Zhongling to the door and went back to the back hall, but as soon as he stepped into the back hall, Aunt Chen followed behind and said, "Sir, another guest is here."
"No, no." Li Qi refused directly without asking who it was.
Aunt Chen said: "But the guest said he wouldn't leave since he couldn't see you. He also said he would die."
