Li Qi hurriedly saluted and thought to himself, maybe this is the fool who will succeed after all his hard work. You finally got it right for once.
This series of changes was so sudden. By the time Yaoshi Guo realized it, it was too late. How could he be willing to accept it? The mountains in Yanshan are high and the emperor is far away. He is the emperor there. Although the capital is prosperous, it is also a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Which one is better?
It was obvious at a glance that he was inferior and he said: "Your Majesty---."
Cai You's face tightened and he said hurriedly: "General Guo, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Pharmacist Guo woke up immediately and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he had just said what he was thinking, it would inevitably make Song Huizong suspicious, and it would be really over by then. He hurriedly saluted and said: "I thank the emperor for his kindness." On his forehead.
Beads of sweat as big as beans dripped down from my upper body.
Wang Fu couldn't understand what Li Qi was playing, so he didn't know what to do.
Demo! Be my little brother and see if I don’t kill you, haha! The corners of Li Qi’s mouth twitched several times and he almost laughed.
Song Huizong glared at Li Qi secretly, and then said: "No courtesy. My dear friends, if you still have something to report, please retreat from the court if you have nothing to do."
After exiting the main hall, no one dared to walk with Li Qi, which also provided convenience for Gao Qiu. He walked quickly to Li Qi and said: "Boy, what on earth are you playing? Who asked you to recommend General Guo?
Sanya?"
Sweat! I almost forgot Brother Qiu, how should I explain to him? Li Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Liu Wei, you are really amazing. You can tell at a glance that someone asked me to do this, but I don't
So as to expose that person’s identity.”
Gao Qiu raised his eyebrows and then said: "Is it true?"
Li Qi nodded.
Gao Qiu coughed slightly and said, "No wonder you are so confident. Let me tell you, how could you easily give up the post of Bu Shuai to someone else? It turns out you were entrusted by someone else."
Li Qi sighed: "Lieutenant, actually I wanted to tell you this morning, but ---, alas. I'm really sorry."
Gao Qiu's expression changed, and he chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you did the right thing, you did the right thing, I was just curious, and I had no intention of blaming you."
Finally he got through it. Li Qi smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Lieutenant."
Gao Qiu waved his hand and said: "But what will you do about increasing the land tax? This is no small matter. Wang Xiangming is clearly digging a hole for you to jump into."
Li Qi sighed: "This official also understands, but I have no idea for the time being, so I can only postpone it for now."
Gao Qiu sighed softly and said, "I can't help you with this matter. You can only rely on yourself."
"I know that."
At this time, a young eunuch suddenly came over, saluted the two of them, and then said to Li Qi: "My lord, the emperor ordered you to go to Jingfu Hall immediately."
Gao Qiu looked around and whispered: "Bless yourself."
Li Qi said aggrievedly: "Lieutenant, why don't we go together? With you here, I will have someone to rely on."
How could Gao Qiu be fooled? He waved his sleeves and said, "The emperor didn't let me go. What am I going to do? You go ahead. I'll leave first." As he said this, he strode out of the palace.
This is so unloyal. Li Qi sighed and followed the young eunuch to Jingfu Palace. After the announcement, he entered the main hall. At this time, Song Huizong and Cai You were inside, and there were no servants.
.
Obviously, Song Huizong did not want to publicize this matter widely. If people knew that he was discussing the ownership of a singing girl with two important ministers, it would not make people laugh.
Li Qi stepped forward and glanced at Cai You. Seeing that he looked like a villain, he wanted to go up and slap him twice. He saluted and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
"No gift." Song Huizong took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Li Qi, you are getting more and more courageous. Even I don't take it seriously."
Li Qi pretended to be frightened and said: "Wei Chen has always been loyal to the emperor."
"Bold Li Qi, now that things have happened, you still dare to confuse right and wrong in front of the emperor. Last night you repeatedly committed the same offense, showed no respect and inferiority, and even wanted to let a dog bite me. Do you dare to say that this is not the case?" Cai You pointed at Li Qi angrily.
Li Qi spread his hands and said: "Mr. Ying, you really know how to confuse right and wrong. It seems like Mr. Ying, you scolded me first, and then I scolded you. It was you who first called the servants to come forward to get me, and then I had no choice but to fight back."
Yes, having said that, you and I are both imperial officials, so why do you think of me as the third-rank official conferred by the emperor without any evidence? I would like to ask you, do you still take the emperor seriously?"
Cai You opened his eyes angrily and said, "How dare you say why should I take you? I am acting according to my orders and you obstruct me. This is already a capital crime."
"According to the decree?" Li Qi smiled and said: "I remember that I told you to bring out the imperial decree, but you said no. The emperor is busy with government affairs now, how can he have time to take care of such boring things? I was wondering.
Come on, don’t tell me that the British prince has to ask the emperor to help you handle your family affairs, then the emperor is really too tired."
Cai You went a little crazy, and said to Song Huizong with an aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, you have seen this with your own eyes, and everything I said just now is true. Li Qimu has no sage, and I ask the Emperor to severely punish this guy to set an example for others."
Song Huizong blushed when he heard this. This matter was indeed a bit difficult to talk about. The key is that because of Li Shishi's pillow talk, he had already intimidated those who plotted against Feng Yinu. Otherwise, how could Feng Yinu have been intact until now? But last night
Cai You took the opportunity to ask for a reward, but he relented when he was happy, so that it was so troublesome now. In fact, he didn't want to care about these things. He coughed lightly and said: "Li Qi, how can I use my money for such a trivial matter?"
Imperial decree, but I did say this. It is understandable that you did not believe it at the time, so I will not pursue the case. Just hand him over." Now he just wants to solve this mess as soon as possible.
When Cai You heard this, he was secretly surprised. He had misjudged Li Qi's status in Song Huizong's mind.
It seems that this traitor did not tell the emperor that Feng Yinu is already my woman. This bitch is really cunning. Li Qi was "surprised" and said: "Your Majesty, what the British Duke said at that time was all true?"
Song Huizong nodded.
Li Qi remained silent.
Song Huizong raised his eyebrows and said: "What? Do you still want to disobey my order?"
Li Qi looked aggrieved, on the verge of tears, and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has never asked you for anything in this life. Now that Wei Chen is asking the Emperor to grant Wei Chen the gift of returning home, Wei Chen has no face to stay with the Emperor anymore.
"
Cai You was delighted and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is what he said himself---"
Before he could finish his words, Song Huizong stared back, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Song Huizong suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "Nonsense. How old are you, and you want to retire and return to your hometown? There is no need to discuss this matter. No matter what the reason is, if you say it again, I will not spare you."
Just kidding, now that Li Qi has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and he is leaving, who will take care of these messes?
Li Qi sniffed a few times and said: "Your Majesty, I'm telling you the truth. In fact, I have admired the Emperor since I was very young, but this is not because the Emperor is the Emperor, but because the Emperor is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry, and is among the emperors. , no one can match him, and more importantly, the emperor values love and righteousness, and is a role model for men in the world. Wei Chen has always followed the emperor as a role model. If Wei Chen can't even protect his own woman, he will have to give it up. Man, how can a humble minister stay with the emperor? I believe that the emperor does not want to have ministers who are so heartless and unjust."
Song Huizong felt a little carried away when he heard this, and smiled proudly. Suddenly he frowned and asked: "By the way, I seem to have heard you say that you want to give up your woman to others. Who is so bold?"
"Wei Chen dare not say it."
"I make the decision for you, there is nothing else I dare to say."
Oops! Cai You panicked, and just as he was about to speak, Li Qi said first: "Then I will tell you the truth, that person is the British Duke."
This guy is so cunning. Cai You was furious.
Song Huizong was stunned for a moment. He suddenly understood and said, "Could it be that Feng Yinu is already your woman?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Now that things have happened, Wei Chen doesn't dare to hide it from each other. A long time ago, Wei Chen and Lady Feng fell in love at first sight, but the process was full of twists and turns. It can be said that it took a lot of hard work to get together. I didn't expect that now I would be faced with the tragic situation of Lao Yan being separated. I am willing to ask the Emperor to take back my life at any cost."
Cai You said angrily: "You--you are talking nonsense. Lady Feng is not yet married, how can she become your woman?"
Li Qidao: "Miss Shishi can also testify about this matter."
Song Huizong said oh, he was convinced of this and said: "Then why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
Li Qi lamented again and said, "That's all because Yinu is so kind-hearted. She was afraid of affecting my career, so she never made it public. I feel sorry for her." As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes. The acting is very realistic and touching.
Song Huizong was in trouble now. He had previously promised Cai You to reward him with the title of Yinu, but he had just promised Li Qi to make the decision for him. No matter what he did, he would face the dilemma of making a mistake.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cai You started to act rogue. He knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, you know that I have been infatuated with Lady Feng for a long time. I just want to spend the rest of my life with her. I don't want anything." As a reward, I only hope that the emperor can bestow the title of Lady Feng on the ministers."
Wow! Your mother is above the first-class level. You can say such things so straightforwardly. Weird things happen from generation to generation, especially in the Song Dynasty. Li Qi was a little stupid, and wiped a cold sweat, but after a while Thinking that this guy even dared to openly ask for the emperor's woman, everything was relieved. He secretly thought, "Compared with acting skills, will I be afraid of you?" He cried out and said: "Your Majesty, I can't even protect my own woman, so I have no face to live in this world." In this world, please ask the emperor to give this humble minister a death."
What a miserable shout!
Don’t you just not want the reward? I don’t even want my life. Who can be more ruthless than the other?
There is a saying that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Song Huizong looked at the two of them and was stunned. He himself thought this was ridiculous.
Cai You finally met his opponent today and burst into tears: "Your Majesty---."
But as soon as he shouted one word, he heard Li Qi shout: "Your Majesty, I have no love for you. Please give me death."
Cai You almost cried when Li Qi shouted.
Song Huizong was angry and amused in his heart. He waved his hand and said: "That's enough. You are all my beloveds after all. How unbecoming do you look like this? Cai Aiqing, please get up quickly."
"yes."
Cai You stood up and glared at Li Qi angrily.
Song Huizong glanced at the two of them, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Is this really what happened? It's so ridiculous. Well, since you two have joined forces to embarrass me, how can I spare you? He said sullenly: "You guys
You are forcing me."
"Wei Chen dare not."
The two said at the same time.
Song Huizong snorted angrily: "Don't you dare? Why don't you dare? You came to my palace because of a woman. You still have the nerve to yell here. It's really unreasonable. If I don't punish you two severely,
, Where is the power of God? I will punish you---punish---oh, I will punish you and clean up the playground outside Donghua Gate for me early tomorrow morning."
Damn! Sweeping the streets? Li Qi and Cai You almost had their eyes popped out.
Not to mention, this matter and this punishment really complement each other, they are both so incomprehensible.
Cai You hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this --- a humble minister is also --- after all."
Song Huizong didn't wait for him to finish speaking and said: "What is it? You also know that you are a first-class official, so why are you willing to die for a singing girl? Since you don't care about the glory I bestow on you, then I will do it for you."
Cherish what you want. This matter has been settled. As for that matter, I don’t care about it anymore. Lady Feng can follow whoever she likes, but none of you are allowed to force her."
This last sentence still hinted that he was on Li Qi's side.
Seeing Long Yan's rage, Cai You knew that there was no chance, so he lowered his head and said, "I obey my orders."
Li Qi also quickly bowed.
Song Huizong snorted and said: "Stand back. Remember, I will personally supervise tomorrow, so you can bring your own brooms."
Day, you are serious! Li Qi looked at Song Huizong with a depressed look. In fact, he was okay, at least Feng Yinu was not taken away. But Cai You really lost his wife and lost his army, and his face was angry
All green.
The two looked at each other, snorted at the same time, and walked out.
As soon as the two of them went out, Song Huizong suddenly burst into laughter and finally got out of his mouth. (To be continued.)
