In just two days, Wang Fu became official and Li Qi was imprisoned.
This is really more dramatic than a drama, with twists and turns and twists and turns that are shocking. Even the smartest people can't react. Of course, those who take pleasure in others' misfortunes will add insult to injury.
Cai You, the idiot, thought that Li Qi, like Wang Fu, had rebelled against the emperor's dragon scale, so he quickly filed a petition to impeach Li Qi. However, Song Huizong ignored this and acted as if he didn't see it. Now he has even more headaches.
There is a matter to be dealt with, that is, who will take over Wang Fu's position.
This prime minister is indispensable even for a day.
The DPRK began to divide into three factions, Cai You's faction, Li Bangyan's faction, and Cai Jing's faction.
The three parties fought fiercely for the position of prime minister, but in the end, Cai Jing gradually gained the upper hand. There are three reasons. First, compared to the other two, he was well prepared, which allowed him to
Secondly, because he has repeatedly shown kindness to the refugees in recent years, his image among the people has undergone earth-shaking changes, so he has the highest voice among the people; thirdly, the whole country has recently been
Reform was implemented, and Cai Jing never left the reform along the way. He was undoubtedly the best candidate for both public and private matters.
More importantly, in fact, Song Huizong had already re-enabled Cai Jing in his heart. Therefore, it became logical for Cai Jing to come out.
Those ministers knew that things might change again. They had already experienced this situation a few years ago, when Cai Jing was overthrown and after Wang Fu came to power, in order to win people's hearts, he demoted Cai Jing's new law as worthless.
Now there is no guarantee that Cai Jing will not do the same thing.
It was precisely because of Li Qi's arrival that Cai Jing came out for the fourth time more than a year earlier than in history, and led three provinces again, creating an unprecedented "good story".
Kaifeng Mansion.
In a small room, four uniformed guards and one prisoner in prison uniform sat together around a square table. On the table was a steaming hot pot with slices of meat on the side.
, green vegetables, several people ate it with great joy.
A whole bunch of *** elements!
This prisoner was Li Qi who had just moved in. Ever since he entered Kaifeng Mansion, the young man of Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Ding, had a headache and had not slept well for several days. Although this was the emperor's personal order, Li Qi was the emperor's man after all.
He is a famous person, and Cai You tried it several times, but none of it worked. It is conceivable that Li Qi has not fallen out of favor. If you treat everyone equally, you can't guarantee that when Li Qi goes out, you will immediately give him little shoes to wear. He can't mess with him.
Come on. But letting Li Qi go would be disobeying the emperor's order. After careful consideration, Wang Ding still planned to give Li Qi special care. Naturally, he couldn't live in a cell. Not only that, he also gave him a separate room, but he was afraid that Li Qi would be given special care.
It was very boring, so I sent a few clever guards to chat with him. Anyway, as long as Li Qi did not leave the Kaifeng Mansion, you can do whatever you want, and you will be provided with good wine and meat.
Nowadays, a table of wine and food is delivered to Zuixianju on time every day, which makes these four prison guards extremely happy. They have lived a life like a fairy these past few days.
The person opposite took out a piece of mutton from the hot pot, blew it a few times, and threw it into his mouth. His mouth opened and closed with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he was eating some delicacy from the mountains and seas. He raised his glass and said, "Sir, my dear.
A toast to you."
"No, no, no, no. How many times have I told you, don't call me Sir. I am now a prisoner appointed by the Emperor. This is not good for people to hear. You should call me Master Li." Li Qi waved his hand, hehe.
He smiled and said. Now the injury on his face is almost healed, and he can finally move every muscle on his face freely.
The person on the left smiled flatteringly and said: "Master---, Master Li, have you heard that Grand Master Cai is making an appearance again? Tsk, tsk, this is the fourth time."
Mr. Cai, you really did not disappoint me. If your son sits in this position, I will really be in a cocoon. Li Qi smiled and said, "Really? That's really gratifying and congratulatory."
The man nodded hurriedly and said, "Isn't that right? I heard that you have a close relationship with the Grand Master. I think you can go out in a few days."
"Do you really want me to go out?"
The man said: "To tell you the truth, the past few days since you have been here have been the happiest days in my life. Naturally, we don't want you to go out so early, but after all, you don't belong here, so we don't
I hope you can go out soon."
"You are really good at talking." Li Qi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you have done your best to take care of me these days. If I have a chance to go out, I will never treat you badly."
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Master Li."
...
After the four people heard this, they immediately cherished the flowers and bloomed, as if there was a bright light before their eyes.
A person on the right quickly patted the horse and said: "Master Li, do you want us to help you find some ladies to warm your bed?"
When the other three heard this, they immediately regretted it, wondering why they had not thought of this.
These guys are so fucking evil, but I like them. Li Qi shook his head and said: "It's unnecessary. I know my bed, and sleeping here is enough. How can I have the mind to do those things? No, no need."
." Like it or not, safety should still come first.
"Second brother, if I'm not the eldest brother, I'm talking about you. Master Li's women are as beautiful as gods. How can they fall in love with those young ladies?"
"That thing, that thing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master Li, I said the wrong thing, I will punish myself."
Li Qi shook his head with a wry smile, feeling a little strange about missing them.
In fact, on the day Li Qigang was imprisoned, Ji Hongnu, Yelu Guxu, and Feng Yinu came to visit him. These three beauties came to this stop. Although they all covered their faces with gauze, they also regarded the Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The officers were drooling at the sight.
Since the three women didn't know what the situation was at that time, they only learned from Mrs. Qin that Li Qi was imprisoned because of a fight with Zhao Kai. What a serious crime it was to beat the prince. Ji Hongnu fainted at that time.
, arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, Ji Hongnu burst into tears again, and Feng Yinu continued to blame himself.
Li Qi persuaded them to calm down their worries and reassure them that they should just take good care of themselves and don't come here anymore. He also specially told Feng Yinu to go out less these days and be honest.
Staying with Li Shishi, after all, he is also afraid that Cai You, an old pervert, will take this opportunity to cause trouble.
The three girls were not at ease at first. They even went to see Bai Shizhong. It was not until Bai Shizhong told them that Li Qi would be fine that they finally felt relieved and asked Li Qi to be their husband. This was really a joy and a pain.
Just when the five of them were eating with great interest, there was a sudden knock on the door, and someone whispered: "Hey, hey, you guys, stop eating. Your Highness is here. I want you to lead the way."
out."
Prince?
The four guards were so frightened that they almost dropped their heads into the hot pot. They quickly put on their hats and straightened their clothes.
It finally came. A strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Qi's mouth.
"Master Li, let's leave quickly."
"Come on, let's go out like this. Do you still want to continue? Put the shackles on me quickly." Li Qi saw the nervous look of these four people and scolded them angrily.
"Oh oh oh, I'm offended."
"And wipe your mouths clean for me. If the prince sees it later and accuses you of corruption and bribery, then I can't help you."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The four people handcuffed Li Qi and wiped his mouth clean. They eliminated the evidence and then took Li Qi out. In fact, it should be said that Li Qi took them out.
At this time, three people were sitting in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, and the one sitting in the main seat was Prince Zhao Huan. On the left was Bai Shizhong, the right prime minister, and on the right was Wang Ding, the young prince of Kaifeng Mansion.
A person came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the prisoner has been escorted."
Wang Ding slapped the table fiercely and said: "You are outrageous. Is it you who called the prisoner? Quickly invite the economic envoy to come up."
The officer was shocked and quickly retreated with a shout.
After a while, a clanging sound was heard, and then Li Qi was seen walking up slowly with his hands and feet shackled, his hair disheveled.
Is this---is this still Li Qi? Why did he look like this? Bai Shizhong looked startled, frowned and looked at Wang Ding. The prince also looked slightly unhappy.
Wang Ding felt so wronged. He didn't even know where the shackles came from. He almost collapsed.
Oh? You are not going to give me a three-chamber trial. Li Qi walked to the middle and bowed and said: "The guilty minister Li Qi is here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Right Prime Minister, and Shao Yin."
You are my Uncle Li! Wang Ding quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Polite, polite." Then he pointed at the two cadres beside Li Qi and said angrily: "You guys must have taken the courage of a leopard. Who said that?"
You put these things on the economic envoy, why don’t you take them away soon.”
"Yes Yes Yes."
The two cadres quickly took off the shackles on Li Qi's body, and then exited the lobby.
Zhao Huan smiled slightly and said: "Li Qi, my father asked me to ask you, do you know that you are wrong?" His tone was very kind, without any intention of questioning.
Li Qi lowered his head and said in repentance: "The guilty subject learned the hard way in prison, reflected again and again, regretted again and again. He has deeply realized that the sins he committed were in fact a failure of the Holy Grace. The guilty subject only wanted to die.
Thank you, Emperor."
This kid must have been stimulated by something. It was so big that he shouted that he would die to apologize. Bai Shizhong wiped a cold sweat and felt very speechless.
Zhao Huan also smiled bitterly and said: "It's not as serious as you said. Now that my father has learned what happened, although you should not take action against my third brother no matter what, it is excusable.
The crime can be avoided. Father, thinking that this is your first offender, has fined you half a year's salary as a warning. This is the end of the matter. If it happens again, you will be severely punished. You can understand this."
For Li Qi, half a year's salary was nothing more than a sneeze. Li Qi burst into tears of joy and hurriedly said: "The emperor's favor is so great, the emperor's favor is so great!"
This --- you have changed too quickly. Bai Shizhong was a little dizzy because of Li Qi's nervousness. He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Li Qi, His Royal Highness has helped you a lot in this matter."
Busy, it is precisely because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interceded for you that the Emperor dealt with you as appropriate."
Zhao Huan pressed his hands and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister said something harsh, and I just repaid him truthfully. It's not worth mentioning."
As for your acting skills, alas, they are really too poor and cannot be compared with Wang Fu. Li Qi bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Prince, for interceding for the sinner. I am deeply grateful."
"Hurry up and forgive me." Zhao Huan suddenly came down personally, helped Li Qi up, and patted him on the shoulder. The meaning was self-evident, but it made Li Qi feel sick. He smiled and said: "You go first.
Please change your clothes."
After a while, Li Qi put on a set of clean clothes and left Kaifeng Mansion with Zhao Huan and Bai Shizhong. The brief period of imprisonment finally came to an end, and Wang Ding finally sent away the giant Buddha.
The three of them had just arrived outside. Ma Qiao, who had been waiting here for a long time, quickly led the horse over and asked with a smile: "Bu Shuai, are you okay?"
This sounded a bit like schadenfreude. Li Qi hummed, "Thank you for your concern. It's nice inside. You can go in and squat some other time."
Ma Qiao waved his hands and said fearfully: "No, no, I don't want to go in here."
At this moment, a group of flying cavalry suddenly rushed from behind, and a handsome man wearing a golden crown was seen galloping towards him. The person who came was none other than King Yun Zhao Kai.
"Wuna, take your life."
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Kai rushed in front of several people. Before the horse could stop, he whipped the whip towards Li Qi.
Snapped!
Ma Qiao's body swayed, and he grasped the riding whip tightly with one hand. He frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, please show mercy."
"You have the courage to serve me, but you still won't get out of the way of me." Zhao Kai said angrily in embarrassment.
This sudden change shocked Zhao Huan. After calming down, he shouted: "Third brother, what are you doing? Do you still take this elder brother seriously?"
Zhao Kai said angrily: "Brother, this guy dared to hit me, why did you let him go? Where is the dignity of our royal family?"
"It's not that I want to let him go. This is what my father meant." Zhao Huan said and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, just apologize to my third brother."
"no."
Zhao Kai exerted a little force with his right hand and said: "Let go!"
Ma Qiao glanced at Li Qi and saw Li Qi nodded before letting go.
Zhao Kai glared at Li Qi angrily and said: "You wait, this matter will never be over. I will definitely not let it go." As he said that, he glanced at Zhao Huan again, tightened the reins, and whipped the horse.
He whipped her hard and left quickly.
Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Kai's leaving figure, a smug smile flashed in his eyes, but it passed quickly, and then he said to Li Qi: "Are you okay?"
Li Qi shook his head, looking helpless.
Zhao Huan sighed: "My third brother has been spoiled by my father. He is still like a child. He has a bad temper and is arrogant. I will wait for him to subside someday and I will go and intercede for you."
Can you be any more hypocritical? Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I accept the prince's kindness. Your Highness Prince Yun has a deep misunderstanding of me. It will be difficult to clear it up. Let him go."
Zhao Huan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that's all. Alas! I'm really sorry that my third brother has lost such a good friend and confidant like you."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Your Highness is so flattering, what kind of good friend and confidant am I?"
"Your Highness, Li Qi, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a place to sit down and talk." Bai Shizhong said hoarsely.
Li Qi smiled and said: "If you want to invite me, why not meet by chance? Or go to a small shop and do business with me. Just treat it as my thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Right Minister for their help."
"Okay, let's go to Zuixianju."
When they came to Zuixianju, the bartenders and customers saw that Li Qi was back, and their morale was greatly boosted. They all came forward to express condolences, but seeing that the prince and right minister were also there, they didn't say much. After Li Qi returned the greetings one by one, he Together with the prince, Bai Shizhong went up to the world on the third floor.
Li Qi and Zhao Huan really didn't have any friendship at all, and they didn't understand each other. At the beginning, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull. Bai Shizhong relied on Bai Shizhong to get in touch with them, and they became familiar with each other while chatting, but their words were full of To win over.
In fact, this is not the first time that Zhao Huan has attracted Li Qi, but in the past Li Qi did not want to get involved in the royal family affairs and always pretended to be confused. But this time Li Qi did not pretend to be confused anymore. Not only that, he also Zhao Huan vaguely expressed his willingness to help Zhao Huan, which made Zhao Huan extremely excited. He thought it was his sincerity that impressed Li Qi. Just like the three visits to the thatched cottage, Zhao Huan couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
The more they chatted, the more they became more and more speculative, and there was quite a feeling that they had known each other for a long time.
"It's true that famous teachers give birth to great disciples, Li Qi, your apprentice's craftsmanship is also very impressive." Zhao Huan was about half full, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, he had a very pleasant meal. The biggest opponent fell, and a good general was gained. It was a double happiness.
Li Qi said half-jokingly: "Your Highness, don't let that kid hear this. If that kid knows that the prince praises his food for being delicious, he won't be able to sleep tonight, and there will definitely be trouble tomorrow."
"The economic envoy is really a wonderful person!" Zhao Huan laughed and glanced at Bai Shizhong.
Bai Shizhong chuckled and suddenly said: "Li Qi, His Royal Highness knows that you always have many ideas, so I would like to ask your help to come up with something."
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch, md. It seems that I was responsible for this meal. It’s a loss, a loss. Li Qi smiled and said, “I don’t dare to take it. The Prime Minister said something harsh, I wonder what’s going on?”
Bai Shizhong got straight to the point: "It's about Geng Zhanshi. You know what happened last time. Do you have any way to get Geng Zhanshi back to the East Palace?"
Day. As soon as I was released from prison, you asked me to help you find your old sweetheart. What kind of thing is this? Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is not difficult at all."
Zhao Huan was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "How do you say this?"
You have so many women, but you just fell in love with one man. The prince's thoughts are beyond the comprehension of a mortal like me. Li Qi saw Zhao Huan's happy face and really wanted to slap Zhao Huan awake and coughed lightly. , said seriously: "The last time Wang Fu impeached Geng Zhan, there was no real evidence, so the prince only needs to ask one person, and the matter will be settled."
Zhao Huan said: "Who?"
"Mother of Prince Ding." Li Qi said with a smile: "Geng Zhanshi was transferred to serve as King Ding's attendant on that day. Therefore, as long as Queen Ding's mother and son can say a few nice words for Geng Zhanshi in front of the emperor, then Wang Fu The original words will be self-defeating, and then the prince will ask the emperor to let Geng Zhan return to the East Palace. That will be an easy task."
Zhao Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful. This is a wonderful plan! The economy makes Guo really good at it."
Li Qi smiled modestly and said: "How dare you, how dare you, share the prince's worries. It is my blessing, Li Qi."
Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he laughed out loud as he was always reserved.
The three of them chatted for a few more words, and then Zhao Huan and Bai Shizhong stood up and left. Their purpose of coming today had been achieved. After seeing the two of them off, Li Qi went to an elegant seat on the second floor and sat down, facing the opposite side.
Zhao Jingyan felt helpless and said: "Actually, when I came here, I was wondering if you would be here."
Zhao Jingyan smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you and my brother, the prince, have a good time chatting."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "I am a talkative person. I can talk to both men and women, even if I am neither a man nor a woman---." After saying this, he quickly shut up.
Zhao Jingyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You and your third brother have such a good relationship, why did you suddenly fall out?"
This girl has a very keen sense of smell. Li Qi said: "First of all, it's not that I want to fall out with him, it's that he sincerely comes to trouble me, and I have tolerated everything--"
"When you say tolerance, do you mean beating him until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "This is unbearable. Do you know that a few days ago he came to my office and without saying a word, he punched me in the face. This was seen by many people. He doesn't hit anyone.
Face, I can't bear it anymore. As for the reason, I don't want to say more, you will understand it yourself."
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Then you are the prince's cousin who has taken refuge with me now?"
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about taking refuge. Let's help each other. This is also the general trend."
Zhao Jingyan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "But why do I feel that what happened in the past few days is too natural. That secret door, Wang Fu became an official, the third brother was furious, fell out with you, and then you were imprisoned, Cai Jing
Make an appearance, the prince comes to help, and you are released from prison. Everything happens for a very good reason, everything happens naturally, and people cannot detect the flaws, as if they are prepared."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Since it has happened, of course there is a reason for it to happen. If it hadn't, then it wouldn't have happened. It would be just like you sitting here." He said it calmly,
But my back was already soaked.
"What you said makes sense." Zhao Jingyan nodded slightly. In fact, her mind was also a mess. After all, this series of things happened so fast that people couldn't react at all. She suddenly held up her hands and said: "Oh, I almost forgot.
I want to say congratulations to you, congratulations."
"Please, it's better not to congratulate you on being released from prison. It would be the best if you don't mention it." Li Qi shook his head and said.
"I'm not congratulating you on your release from prison."
"Is it because Wang Fu became an official? Then your congratulations are too much."
Zhao Jingyan shook her head and said: "I congratulate you, the Grand Master has finally made an appearance for the fourth time."
"For me, does the release of the Grand Master mean more than my release from prison?" Li Qi said angrily.
Zhao Jingyan nodded and said: "That's natural. It's only a matter of time for you to be released from prison. The emperor actually doesn't want to do this. It's just that if you turn a blind eye to beating his son, it will damage the majesty of the royal family. But you are really good at it. I
I went to visit my third brother a few days ago, and I almost didn't recognize him. I'm afraid you are the first person in history."
"This is really not something to be proud of." Li Qi said angrily: "I'm not much better, and you don't come to visit me."
Zhao Jingyan hummed and said: "My surname is Zhao too. You beat my cousin and I go to visit you. Are you trying to harm me?" She waved her hand again and said: "That's it, that's all. Since the matter has been resolved, it's over."
It’s over, it’s better not to mention it.”
"Good meeting!" Li Qi nodded and suddenly asked: "What did you say the first thing the Grand Master did when he appeared?"
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said, "What do you think?"
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Reform."
"It seems that you are thinking the same thing as me!" Zhao Jingyan said: "This is what Grand Master Cai has always done, but what is different from the past is that this time he does not have to use his brain to think about it. Of course, he does not think about it.
Well, now he only needs to hand over this task to you. In this way, your life will be much easier. Cai Jing is on top, Gao Qiu is on your side, oh, and now the prince is also included.
The people are very supportive of you. Whether it is reform or other aspects, you can finally let go and do it without being timid. The power in your hands will also be expanded a lot. If I don't congratulate you, then I
What these half-friends did was too unkind."
Li Qi shrank his head and said: "Is it as good as you said? If I set my expectations so high, if it is not what you said, then I will be very disappointed. You must come to comfort me then.
I, oh, remember to wear women’s clothes.” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
