Li Qi was so surprised that he was at a loss. He originally thought that he was already curious enough, but he would never have imagined that this mother-in-law was even more curious than him. He blinked his eyes, sweated profusely, swallowed a few times, and then said: "Mother-in-law, you
---What did you say? Let Qiniang be the economic envoy, did I hear you right?"
"You heard that right." Madam Bai nodded affirmatively and said, "Let the old man serve as an official first, and then let Qiniang be the economic envoy."
The mother-in-law is the mother-in-law. She is really fierce. You really dare to say that. Not to mention that Qiniang is from the Bai family. Even if she is not, how can a woman be an official? She is not deliberately making things difficult for me. Li Qi frowned.
He muttered secretly.
Mrs. Bai could tell his thoughts at a glance and said, "Do you think I am making things difficult for you?"
"Of course - no!" Li Qi reluctantly gave a thumbs up, pretending to understand: "High! This move is too high! Only a very smart person like my mother-in-law can think of it.
Such a great move."
Mrs. Bai said: "Then you agreed?"
I would like to agree, but unfortunately I am not the one who has the final say in this world! Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me personally. As long as Qiniang agrees, I will definitely support it. But
---Mother-in-law, your plan is too profound. My son-in-law doesn't know how to operate it. Please give me some advice."
Mrs. Bai sighed and said: "I also know that this is difficult to do, but it is also the only way."
"How do you say this?" Li Qi asked humbly.
Mrs. Bai said: "Today's situation cannot be controlled by you alone. It also involves the interests of many parties, including the emperor. Therefore, even if you force the old man to stay in the court, it will only make him suffer more. In fact,
Don't talk about the old man, anyone in my Bai family will inevitably be ostracized by them. This is a clique fight, unless the emperor is willing not to take action against King Fu Cheng's old party. But you also know that this is impossible.
"
Li Qi nodded and said with a hint of doubt, "But Qiniang is also from your Bai family."
Mrs. Bai shook her head and said: "No, Qiniang has already married you, and it was the imperial edict given by the Supreme Emperor himself. No one dares to deny this. Then she should be regarded as a member of your Li family, and she is yours."
First wife, if you come back with such great achievements, your wife will certainly benefit from it, and Qiniang is not only right, she actually has merit."
Yes, why didn't I think of this? Li Qi hummed and said, "What the mother-in-law said makes perfect sense. But the problem is that Qiniang is a daughter, and there is no precedent for a woman to serve as an official in our dynasty."
Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "There has never been a precedent for a cook to be crowned king in our dynasty. It all depends on people. Now that your status has been greatly improved, you have too many things to take care of. It is impossible to continue to serve as an economic envoy. And according to me
As we know, this time the Yunsang Alliance, Song and Jin countries will restart economic construction again, so the position of economic envoy is very critical. You must choose a talent to assist you, and this person must be familiar with the new law and you.
Very knowledgeable about economics.”
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's true."
Mrs. Bai said: "Looking at the government and the public, there are only two people who are suitable. The first one is Qin Xuezheng, but compared with this aspect, his talents in other aspects are more outstanding. I don't think the emperor will let him serve as the economic envoy. The second one is Qin Xuezheng."
, that is Zheng Erlang. However, the emperor must control the treasury, so he let Zheng Erlang serve as the salt and iron envoy. I am afraid he will not be allowed to serve as the economic envoy. Apart from these two people, it is Qiniang who understands your economics best.
It is said that virtuous people should not avoid relatives. Moreover, this position is related to the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the army. I think it is perfect for Qiniang to take it. Moreover, Qiniang is your wife. Even if the ministers in the court are dissatisfied,
They would never dare to say anything more."
Li Qi frowned and pondered. While thinking, he was deeply moved by how clearly the mother-in-law judged the situation in the DPRK.
Mrs. Bai's plan seems to be to find a reason for the emperor to withdraw the imperial edict. In fact, she is using this to preserve the status of the Bai family in the capital. The economy makes this position very critical. While taking care of the new law, he also has to deal with it.
The economic construction of the Song and Jin Dynasties. In addition, the most urgent thing the Song Dynasty needs to do now is to restore the economy and let the people settle down. From these three points, the economic envoys can be said to have a lot of power.
Mrs. Bai's proposal to let Bai Shizhong become an official was simply to completely cut off the old forces of the White House, to make Bai Shizhong fade away from everyone's sight, and to establish Bai Qiannuo as the new spokesperson of the White House. It is conceivable that once
Bai Qiannuo was appointed as the economic envoy, and by virtue of her status as Li Qi's wife, she was able to quickly establish a new force. No one in the capital dared to look down on their Bai family. In this way, not only could this turmoil be avoided, but also
The foundation of the White House was saved.
The key to this is nothing more than Bai Qiannuo's dual identity.
Originally, Bai Qiannuo's dual identity would complicate the whole matter. Li Qingzhao suffered from this in the first place. But if Mrs. Bai's plan succeeds, then this dual identity will actually help Li Qi and the Bai family.
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Bai looked at Li Qi slightly nervously, because this was the only chance for the Bai family to turn around.
Although Li Qi understood Mrs. Bai's intention, he did not object. Based on the facts, Bai Qiannuo was indeed a good candidate, and this could also repair the relationship between the two. He said, "But what if the emperor does not agree?"
Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "I can't help you with this, but you are so smart, I believe you will have a way to make the emperor agree."
Damn! Just now you were almost worse than the beast I called you, and now you are praising me. You must be too fickle. Li Qi nodded and said: "Okay. I'll try it, but Qiniang's side
.”
Mrs. Bai said: "I believe Qiniang will agree."
"That's not what I asked."
"What's that you ask?"
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Mother-in-law, now the misunderstanding has been resolved. We, a young couple, are always quarreling and quarreling, and it's not very good for you, right? Do you think you can help my son-in-law and let Qiniang meet me?"
On the one hand, if I can get Qiniang to forgive me, that would be great."
Mrs. Bai was slightly startled and said: "I really can't help you. Qiniang's child. Sometimes I can't figure it out. Moreover, she has a very stubborn temper and it's hard for anyone to persuade her. But once she takes up the post of economics
If you are an envoy, then it should be under your control, and it is not the first time you have done this kind of thing."
That's right, Qiniang is the economic envoy, so she has to meet with me. If the boss picks up a subordinate, that's a sure thing! Li Qi chuckled and said: "That's right, that's right. Then--mother-in-law, you--should
You have already forgiven me."
Mrs. Bai sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, what can I do if I don't forgive you? In fact, leaving the Bai family aside, I still admire you. This move of yours is indeed beautiful and very deadly, which makes me even more incredible.
What's amazing is that when the golden soldiers came, you almost predicted everyone's psychology, even me. I even think you have the ability to predict the future."
After hearing Madam Bai's casual words, Li Qi felt cold sweat running down his back. He said hurriedly: "Where, where. That's just the mother-in-law giving her son-in-law a way to survive."
"Stop flattering me, because it will only make me feel more depressed." Mrs. Bai shook her head and said: "But Li Qi, I have to remind you that you have too much power now, you can even say
It is less than one person, more than ten thousand people, or more. In this emergency, it may still be used as an extraordinary measure. Once the domestic situation stabilizes, it may not be possible for you to continue like this. Therefore, I suggest you take advantage of it.
Seize this opportunity and quickly spread some of your power to avoid getting into trouble."
This is by no means a lie, Li Qi said seriously: "Yes. My mother-in-law has taught me sincerely, and my son-in-law will definitely keep it in mind."
Mrs. Bai nodded, stood up, and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
"So soon? My son-in-law is ready to prepare a few special dishes."
Mrs. Bai waved her hand and said: "The old man is still ill in bed, and even the most delicious dishes are tasteless to me."
Li Qidao: "By the way, how is my father-in-law's health?"
Mrs. Bai sighed: "It's not too bad, but it's not too good either. I can't get out of bed for the time being. This heart ailment needs medicine!" As she said this, she glanced at Li Qi again.
The implication is simply to ask Li Qi to recommend Bai Qiannuo as the economic envoy as soon as possible.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand. I understand. I'll send it to you."
Mrs. Bai hummed.
"Mother-in-law, when you go back, can you help me say a few nice words to Qiniang? She listens to you the most."
"Do your best."
"Uh... How about my son-in-law take you to the Bai Mansion, and you can also invite me in for a cup of tea or something."
"Don't push yourself too far."
"Haha, son-in-law, this is just a joke. I have to go to the palace later."
After Li Qi sent Mrs. Bai away, he just returned to the house when Ji Hongnu and the others came up to them with gossipy faces, "What did the godmother say?"
Li Qi sighed: "It is said that the mother-in-law loves to make things difficult for her son-in-law. This really makes sense."
...
That night, Li Qi went to the palace.
At this time, Zhao Kai was sitting in his study, reviewing memorials. Although Song Huizong abdicated, he was left with a mess. There were too many things to do. This was why Zhao Huan refused to ascend the throne in the first place.
The reason. He now only sleeps two or three hours a day, and sometimes even works until dawn. However, he has no complaints, because all this is of his own free will, and he cherishes this hard-won throne.
"Your Highness, King Yanyun is outside asking for an audience."
Zhao Kai chuckled when he heard this and said: "When did this guy learn how to let others report? Please let him in quickly."
"yes."
After a while, Li Qi walked in and saluted: "My humble minister, Li Qi, is here to see your Majesty."
"Plain body."
Zhao Kai stood up and said hehe: "What? Have you thought of a reason?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "Your Majesty is joking. You should know how difficult that matter is. I am not a genius. How could I have thought of it so quickly?"
Zhao Kai made a sound, looked at Li Qi warily, and said, "That's really strange. If it's not for this reason, why are you here?"
Let me choke you! What are you looking at? Are you guarding against wolves or robbers? Li Qi felt a little guilty when Zhao Kai looked at him, but his face remained calm and he said: "Your Majesty, look at what you said, is it true?
Am I such a selfish person?"
Zhao Kai pondered for a moment and said seriously: "It's hard to say this. Your behavior often makes people confused. Sometimes it is true and sometimes it is not."
Day. Are you deliberately mocking me? Li Qi said angrily: "If that's what the emperor thinks, then I'd better go back and rest. I'll come back when the emperor summons me. I came here to help out of kindness.
In the end, I ended up with this reputation, and I messed with whoever I provoked."
Zhao Kai rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, okay, if it's not, it's not. I don't blame you. You see far more clearly than I do on big issues of right and wrong, and I trust you very much."
"That's pretty much it."
Zhao Kai shook his head in distress, returned to his seat, gave Li Qi another seat, and then said seriously: "But there is one thing that really must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Li Qidao: "What's the matter?"
"Your reward."
You still need to ask this question, of course it must be dealt with as soon as possible. Since you are a newcomer, I will not argue with you. Li Qi said carelessly: "What else should I take seriously? It turns out that this is it."
, just give me one or two million yuan. I am not greedy at all, and you must not take into account my ability to bear it. I can bear it no matter how heavy it is."
