Chapter seven hundred and nineteen joy falls from the sky
When Tong Guan led the army back in "triumph", although he was named the King of Guangyang and set a precedent for eunuchs to be kings, he lost the important position of Privy Councilor and was undoubtedly promoted openly and secretly. This move by Song Huizong was obvious.
Everyone knows that he is afraid of Tong Guan's reputation in the army and intends to kill him, including Tong Guan himself. He also knows that he should keep a low profile at this time, otherwise he may be killed, but he does not
He was anxious because he knew that if there was a war, Song Huizong would think of him first, so he was waiting for an opportunity. However, Cai You naturally understood this.
Qin Hui took advantage of their psychology and profited from it. In fact, he had another intention that he didn't say, which was to stir up a feud between Cai You and Tong Guan, so that the snipe and the clam would fight for the fisherman's profit.
It has to be said that Qin Hui is indeed ruthless. He is only a fifth-rank official, but he dares to play tricks on those first-rank officials. This shows that he is born for power. It is conceivable that if he goes to Jiangnan, it will definitely cause a stir.
The bloody storm was, as he said, uprooted and eradicated.
In fact, Qin Hui did all this for Li Qi, because he knew very well that the greater the power in Li Qi's hands, the higher he would climb.
However, the more Qin Hui showed off his talents, the more Li Qi became wary of him. This was something Qin Hui never expected, so he said quietly: "Then who is the suitable candidate?"
Qin Hui said confidently: "I have a candidate for the lower official position. I believe the British Lord will not object."
"who?"
"This person's surname is Han and his name is Shizhong."
"Han Shizhong---what, you mean Han Shizhong?" Li Qi said in shock.
Qin Hui was deeply puzzled by Li Qi's expression and said, "Sir, do you know Han Shizhong?"
Li Qi was slightly startled, then obediently, Qin Hui recommended Han Shizhong, what kind of world is this? He felt a little dizzy. He said: "I have heard a little, a little. Are you familiar with him?"
Qin Hui shook his head and said, "I have never met him."
"Then why did you recommend him?"
"First of all, in the battle to pacify Fangla, it was Han Shizhong who captured Fangla, and he was a famous teacher. Secondly, when we sent troops to attack Xixia in the Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong performed extraordinary feats, and all the generals admired him very much.
So they jointly reported to the court, hoping to promote Han Shizhong in an exceptional way. However, the Prince of Guangyang County, who was in charge of border affairs at the time, doubted the authenticity of the report and only agreed to promote Han Shizhong to a higher level. Finally, Han Shizhong also went to the Liao Dynasty, and
His contribution is indispensable, but the Prince of Guangyang did not report his contribution. In other words, he is not a person of the Prince of Guangyang. Nor is he your person. Based on this alone, he is the most suitable candidate, if it is normal.
The British Duke may still want to send his own people, but because we recommended the Guangyang County Prince earlier, the British Duke will definitely accept it and agree to let Han Shizhong lead the army. This man can't help but be brave and good at fighting. And he is not afraid of power.
Personally, they are all the best candidates."
Li Qi nodded frequently. He asked curiously: "Xiao Qin, how come you know everything?"
Qin Hui said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that I am working in Taiyuan University? The Taiyuan students there talk about state affairs all day long, so I heard a lot."
"I see."
Li Qi nodded slightly and thought to himself, this Han Shizhong's military ability is no less than that of Yue Fei. He is good at attacking and defending. He will definitely be relied on in the future. Why not take the opportunity to get to know him first. He said: "Then where is this Han Shizhong now?"
Qin Hui was stunned now and said: "Xiaguan also suddenly thought of it and didn't know where he was."
"It doesn't matter." Li Qi waved his hand and pondered.
Qin Hui said: "Sir, what worries do you have?"
Boss, I'm worried about you! Li Qidao: "Xiao Qin, you have always been the most capable general around me. If you leave, I won't even be able to find anyone to discuss with."
I don't want to go, but if I don't go, you have to go. If you leave, then I may not even be able to keep my official position. Qin Hui smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I have given you a reward. I think you are wise and powerful, and you can predict things like a god."
, even if you don’t get a lower official position, you will be able to rise to the top.”
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Let me think about it again." Facing Qin Hui, he really didn't dare to be careless.
When Qin Hui saw Li Qi relenting, he did not dare to press too hard to avoid making Li Qi suspicious. He nodded and said, "Yes."
...
The next morning.
Qin Mansion.
Li Qi sat in front of the bronze mirror. Ji Hongnu stood behind him, holding a comb and carefully combing his hair, and said softly: "Brother, your hair is already long enough. You should be able to wear it in a bun."
"ah?"
Li Qi was slightly startled, wondering: "No, I'd better cut it."
Ji Hongnu said: "That's not possible. Sister Qi'er told me before she left that I must not cut your hair. She said that there are many people who want to harm me now. If I continue to keep my hair short, it will be detrimental to me."
Yes! After all, this is Qiniang's hard work, and I have already promised her. Now that she is not here, I can't go back on it. Li Qi nodded and said: "Okay, okay, just put your hair in a bun.
"
"Brother, did you read the letter that Sister Qi'er gave you?"
"Hmm. Didn't she write to you?"
"I wrote it, but Sister Qi'er only said some interesting things in the letter, and didn't say how she was living there. But I can tell that she must be having a very bad life there. Brother, you
I want to find a way to get Sister Qi'er back."
Li Qi was startled and sighed: "Hongnu, don't you understand Qiniang? If I could persuade her to come back, she wouldn't have gone in the first place. Moreover, even if I force her to come back, I'm afraid she will never go back in her life."
I’m happy, now I’m thinking about whether I should go to Hangzhou.”
Ji Hongnu's eyes lit up, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Let's take a look."
"vomit...."
Ji Hongnu suddenly covered his mouth with both hands.
Li Qi's expression tightened and he said, "Hongnu, what's wrong with you?"
"I didn't---vomit---."
Ji Hongnu didn't even finish speaking before he ran outside.
Li Qi hurriedly followed him out. He saw Ji Hongnu holding one hand on the wall with a very uncomfortable expression. He quickly walked over, patted her shoulder for her, and said with concern: "Hongnu, it doesn't matter if you want me. Brother, let me go now."
I'm going to ask the doctor. What's this aunt doing? You'll get sick after just one visit."
Ji Hongnu shook his head, and after a while, he finally recovered, barely showing a smile, and said: "Brother, don't worry, I--I'm fine."
"Are you okay?"
Li Qi supported her and shouted: "Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen."
Soon, Aunt Chen came over and said, "Sir, what do you want me to do?"
"You immediately tell the doctor to come. Remember, you have to invite the best."
Seeing Ji Hongnu's pale face, Aunt Chen nodded quickly and said, "I'll go right away." After saying that, she left in a hurry.
"Come, big brother will take you back to the house to rest."
Li Qi said that without waiting for Ji Hongnu to open her mouth, he gently picked her up by the waist. When he returned to the room, he gently put Ji Hongnu on the bed and covered her with a quilt. His face looked very anxious, and he muttered
He said: "Why hasn't this doctor come yet?"
Ji Hongnu was a little flattered. He lay on the bed and looked at the thick quilt on his body. He said depressedly: "Brother, how can it be so fast? Besides, I'm really fine. No need to call the doctor."
"Then you just lie down for me. It's not scary to get sick. What's scary is not getting medical treatment. Don't worry, my brother will make you a bowl of ginseng soup later. You'll be fine." Li Qi said extremely seriously.
Seeing Li Qi's serious look, Ji Hongnu didn't dare to say anything anymore and pouted to express his dissatisfaction.
Li Qi reached out and touched her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever."
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Mrs. Qin hurried in from the outside, saying anxiously: "Sister Hongnu, sister Hongnu, what are you doing? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Ji Hongnu was depressed and said, "Madam, I'm fine."
"You are all lying down, how can you be okay?"
Ji Hongnu was about to cry and said: "No---no, it's the eldest brother who insists on me lying on the bed. I can---"
"Um?"
Just as Ji Hongnu was about to get up, Li Qi's eyes widened, and she lay down again obediently.
After half an hour, the doctor finally arrived. Li Qi had been impatient for a long time and immediately asked him to check Ji Hongnu's pulse.
After quite a while, the doctor wiped his sweat profusely. Nowadays, no one in the capital knew Li Qi's name, and he was also nervous. It wasn't until he was diagnosed again and again that he stood up, raised his hands towards Li Qi and said, "Congratulations."
,Congratulations."
Li Qicuo said in astonishment: "Congratulations? You are kidding me!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, it's --- Madam Ling is very happy."
"Are you happy?"
Li Qideng was stunned for a moment, and there was a short circuit in his brain. He blinked his eyes, grabbed the doctor's arm tightly with both hands, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Zhong, this Youxi means--"
"Oh, I'm just pregnant."
"Pregnant?"
Mrs. Qin, Li Qi, and Ji Hongnu were stunned at the same time.
After a while, Li Qi suddenly went crazy, shaking the doctor, and said happily: "You mean I'm going to be a father? Is that what you mean?"
The doctor was shaken by Li Qi so hard that his old bones were almost shaken apart. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes. Your Excellency is right."
"I'm going to be a father... I'm going to be a father." Master Li muttered a few words, suddenly turned around and hugged Mrs. Qin out of nowhere, laughed and said: "Madam, did you hear that?
, I want to be a father, I want to be a father.”
what's the situation?
Ji Hongnu and the doctor were both stunned. They opened their mouths slightly and stared blankly at Li Qi and Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin was immediately stunned. Anger gradually replaced the surprise, covering those beautiful eyes.
No---no, wrong, wrong, it seems that I hugged the wrong person. Li Qi suddenly reacted and couldn't help shuddering. The frequency of his shouts gradually slowed down. His face was covered with sweat, and his back was instantly soaked.
Turning her eyes, she suddenly let go of Mrs. Qin, threw herself on the bed, kissed Ji Hongnu hard on the mouth, and said happily: "Hongnu, did you hear that, you are going to be a mother, and I am going to be a father.
, Haha...!" But I thought in my heart, my miserable child, you have to block the knife for me before you are born. My father is really ashamed of you. When you speak out, your father will definitely cook a lot of delicious food, no no
