Chapter 319 What a big sugar-coated cannonball (seeking a monthly ticket)
ps: On the last day, please vote for me...
What does this treacherous minister want to do? Li Qi frowned. He didn't believe that a set of clothes could bribe Wang Fu and let him promote him regardless of past suspicions. Then the prime minister was worthless. Just when Li Qi was puzzled, Zhao
Kai suddenly stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Father, I also think that Li Qi can be of great use."
There is something fishy. Li Qi was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, Li Bangyan suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Although Li Qi has some talent, he is still young and has insufficient experience after all. Besides, he
Not long after he took office as a guard, if he was promoted to the deputy chief of the Imperial Palace Division just because of a piece of clothing, he would probably be criticized. Moreover, the Imperial Palace Division is responsible for the important task of protecting the emperor and the entire palace, so he must not act hastily.
"
"Wei Chen agrees with what Prime Minister Zuo said." Bai Shizhong also saluted.
Wow! What a mess, Wang Fu, what on earth are you trying to cause? Li Qi, the person involved, looked a little confused.
Wang Fu raised his hand and said: "What the Prime Minister Zuo said is wrong. The right way is to promote the virtuous without avoiding hatred. Although I had some disagreements with Li Qi, I have been impressed by Li Qi's talents recently. I think Li Qi will definitely succeed in the future."
He is the pillar of the Song Dynasty. Selecting talents for the emperor is what we ministers should do, but what is talent? I think we should be classified by talent, not age."
His tone was so passionate that if others didn't know better, they would have thought that the person he was talking about was Wang Xuan'en.
Li Bangyan retorted: "I admit that Li Qi is indeed a genius, but the talents he has shown so far are only in cooking and business. He has not made any achievements since he took up the post of guard horse."
"Then what are you wearing? It's the time when the Song Dynasty is recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, and these clothes come at the right time, but they have become insignificant in your mouth."
Wang Fu pointed his hand towards Li Bangyan and said.
Li Bangyan said with a smile: "Li Qi's original intention of making these clothes was not for our Song Dynasty army, but for convenience. He said this himself, and it was Gao Taiwei who made this suggestion. This credit should go to Gao Taiwei."
The captain is the one."
Wang Fu seemed too lazy to argue with Li Bangyan. He saluted Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty, there is a piece of raw jade here. Although it is thousands of pieces of jade, it must be carved by a jade man." He was paraphrasing Mencius' words, obviously referring to Li Bangyan.
Qi compared it to a jade in the rough.
md. They all started quoting scriptures. I was convinced. Li Qi felt dumbfounded.
Li Bangyan did not give in even a step. He said: "Your Majesty, the jade must be carved carefully, slowly and slowly. If you blindly seek speed, I am afraid things will be reversed. Please think twice before proceeding."
The two of them were arguing with red faces. Song Huizong seemed to be used to this kind of scene. He sat on a chair and sipped tea and let the two of them fight. Liang Shicheng on the side acted as if nothing had happened and served Song Huizong attentively. Gao
Qiu stood aside silently and gave Li Qi a wink, telling him to calm down and not act rashly.
Well, Wang Fu, it turns out you want to use me to attack the prince.
When Li Qi saw this, he finally understood that the two brothers He Guan and He Chong, who were in charge of the front office of the palace, were both members of the prince. He knew this. Wang Fu and Zhao Kai were colluding. This was no longer a secret, and he
Wang Fu must have known that he was on good terms with Zhao Kai. Although the status of generals today is low, the Palace Chief is a member of the Imperial Guards. This is different from ordinary Imperial Guards. If he squeezes out He Chong, will it be beneficial?
Zhao Kai, this needs to be discussed separately, but it undoubtedly weakened the prince's power.
Although Wang Fu had a grudge against him, in the overall situation, Li Qiruo was regarded as the deputy commander-in-chief. The advantages to Wang Fu definitely outweighed the disadvantages. He saw this clearly.
Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong have always been on the side of the prince. Naturally, they don't want to see all this happen. Moreover, Bai Shizhong has always wanted to "whitewash" Li Qi and turn him into a civil servant. So, can Li Qi be promoted?
When the deputy commander arrived, he didn't really care.
In fact, as far as Li Qi is concerned, he doesn't want to go to the front office so early. After all, he has put a lot of effort into guarding Marco. If he leaves, all the hard work he has done will be in vain.
.
Now all eyes are focused on Song Huizong. No matter how extravagant their words are, the decision-making power still lies with Song Huizong.
Seeing that they had all calmed down, Song Huizong glanced at everyone and suddenly asked Gao Qiu: "Gao Aiqing, what do you think?"
Gao Qiu stood up and saluted and said: "In my humble opinion, I think what the Prime Minister Wang and the Left Prime Minister said are reasonable." After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "But in my humble opinion, Li Qi's most important thing at the moment is
The mission is the Four Nations Banquet, and we can discuss other matters after the Four Nations Banquet."
Song Huizong nodded and said: "What Gao Aiqing said is exactly what I want. Moreover, Li Qi is so young and inexperienced that he may not be able to hold such an important position now. However, regarding the reform of military uniforms, Li Qi can assist Gao Aiqing."
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
Several people shouted in unison. Wang Fu frowned secretly, with regret on his face. In fact, he also knew that Li Qi's current official position was big enough. Normally, he would not even think about it, but when he saw Song Huizong
It was rare that he was so happy today, so he wanted to give it a try, but in the end he failed. Li Bangyan also let out a sigh of relief, secretly said that it was dangerous, and looked at Wang Fu, and the fire suddenly flew out.
Seeing their expressions, Li Qi secretly thought, md, it's just a piece of clothing, you guys are not letting this go, you are really trying to take advantage of every opportunity, it seems I will have to be more cautious in the future.
Song Huizong smiled slightly and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, do you have any objections?"
Li Qi was slightly startled, then he hurriedly saluted and said, "I have no objections. Your Majesty has made a wise decision, and I should obey it."
Song Huizong nodded and said: "I see your loyalty and talent, but your most important thing at the moment is the Four Kingdoms Banquet. By the way, how are you preparing now?"
Sweating! I haven’t even started to prepare yet, but it’s time to prepare. They all care so much about this Four Nations Banquet. If I lose, God knows if they will attack me desperately.
Li Qi replied: "To report to the Emperor, everything is going well so far. I will definitely not disappoint the Emperor and all your lords when the time comes."
"very good."
Song Huizong nodded and stretched his hand to the side. Liang Shicheng immediately took out a shining golden token and put it in Song Huizong's hand. Song Huizong took the token and handed it to Li Qi, saying: "I will give this token to you now."
You, with it, you can go in and out of the palace more freely. If you need any materials in the future, you can go directly to the imperial kitchen to see Boqing."
Damn it! Why didn’t I think of this? MD, this is an excellent opportunity to use public affairs for personal gain. Well, I’ll go to Brother Zuo later and order some two-headed abalone. Last time, Qiniang and Madam made up for those.
The body is gone. I have never tasted it myself.
Li Qi quickly took the token, and the heavy feeling made him secretly rejoice, hey, it seems to be made of pure gold. The cost of these clothes can be recovered. He saluted and thanked: "I thank the emperor for the reward.
"
Wang Fu and other ministers met, and all of them were full of thoughts. A blind person could see that the emperor loved Li Qi very much, but the problem was that Li Qi was favored. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for them? The intricate relationship,
Politicians like them, who are about to become fine, can't predict it.
Song Huizong chuckled, pulled down the sportswear he was wearing, and said: "Li Qi, your clothes are nice, but---."
Li Qi didn't wait for Song Huizong to finish what he said, and said first: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We ministers are already asking people to make the second set for the Emperor. I believe it will be completed in a few days."
"Smart." Song Huizong pointed Li Qi with his finger and praised.
Li Bangyan chuckled and said: "Li Qi, what I just said was a matter of business, but having said that, your clothes are really wonderful. You will make them by then, so don't forget me."
Shameless.
Wang Fu glanced at him fiercely.
Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course I don't dare to forget it."
Song Huizong shook his head helplessly, stood up again and said, "Okay. I am rarely in such a high mood today. Dear friends, please play another game with me. Li Qi and Bai Xiang will also come."
"As commanded."
"Your Majesty, I--I don't know how to play Cuju."
Song Huizong was stunned, laughed, and said: "Oh? There are things you don't know how to do. It's rare, it's rare. Okay, you can just watch from the side." After that, he walked towards the field.
Li Bangyan grinned at Wang Fu and said, "Mr. Wang, I was lucky enough to win the match just now. I'm really sorry."
Wang Fu couldn't hear the pun, so he smiled and said, "You won't be so lucky this time."
"Then you still have to see the truth at your feet."
.......
When Li Qi saw this pair of enemies, he felt funny in his heart, "Fight, fight, if you don't fight, I will never have the chance to rise to power." He glanced at Liang Shicheng, who was silent beside him, and muttered to himself, "This old eunuch is very happy and angry."
Yu Se is really more elusive than Brother Qiu. It’s better not to offend him at the moment. So he smiled and said: “Master Liang, I heard that you don’t know how to play Cuju, so I didn’t help you make this Cuju suit.
I hope you can forgive me."
Liang Shicheng waved his hands and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I can't run anymore at my age. Even if I wear the clothes of deputy commander, I can't appreciate the beauty of it. As long as the emperor likes it."
Good guy, the emperor is not here now, but you still don’t forget to flatter him. Is this the highest level of flattery? Li Qi said with a smile: "But I heard that Mr. Liang often gets up in the middle of the night to deal with official business. It just so happened that Xia Guan recently invented a convenience.
If Mr. Liang doesn’t dislike the pajamas, I will send someone to send you a few sets to express my feelings.”
Convenient pajamas? Liang Shicheng looked happy, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then I'll bother the deputy commander."
"No, no, Mr. Liang is exaggerating." Li Qi smiled slightly.
.......
Song Huizong finished the game heartily and saw that it was getting late, so he drove back to the palace. Even though he was sweating profusely, he didn't want to take off his clothes.
Wang Fu and other ministers also left one after another. Li Qi was not in a hurry to leave. After all, he still had to discuss the reform of military uniforms with Gao Qiu, but Gao Qiu just said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
"He is still busy preparing for the Cuju competition. He has no time to take care of these things. He can just get the results and leave the matter to Li Qi of course.
However, this suited Li Qi's wishes, so he nodded and agreed.
Gao Qiu glanced at Li Qi slightly and suddenly asked: "Li Qi, do you know why I didn't approve of your going to the front office just now?"
You ministers can make so much right and wrong just by playing football. How could I, a simple person like me, know? Li Qi said truthfully: "I don't know, but I know that the Taiwei must be doing this for his own sake."
.”
Gao Qiu said seriously: "Yes, I just don't want you to get involved in this dispute. I don't object to you going to the front office. This is a good thing for you, but I don't want to see you in this background."
Sir, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Li Qi nodded, knowing that he had gained Gao Qiu's trust.
