Chapter 721 If you want to take it, you must first take it
"Brother, I can do it myself."
"No, you are pregnant now, it is best to move less."
"Ah? Oh."
Li Qi took the bowl of ginseng chicken soup that had just been boiled, blew it gently, then brought it to Ji Hongnu's mouth and asked: "Is it hot or not?"
Ji Hongnu shook his head and said with a happy smile: "It tastes good."
"That's necessary." Li Qi said hoarsely: "Hongnu, you don't know something. This is Dago's special chicken soup. It is specially prepared for pregnant women. It is extremely nutritious. It just so happened that Korea sent some very good quality chicken soup.
You should be able to eat mountain ginseng for a few months. I will go to the imperial kitchen later."
When Ji Hongnu heard this, she thought to herself that the eldest brother was the only one in the world who dared to take it as a matter of course that he would enrich his own pockets. She couldn't help but burst into laughter, but she immediately paid the price for it, "Ahem, cough, yes - I'm sorry.
"
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. As a chef, I forgot the basic principle of eating without speaking." Li Qi quickly asked her to wipe her mouth and said seriously: "Be serious, be serious, don't talk anymore."
Ji Hongnu chuckled when he saw Li Qi's serious look.
It's really all my fault, I usually indulge them too much. Li Qi also laughed.
...
"call."
Li Qi put down the bowl and finally finished the drink. He covered Ji Hongnu with a quilt, held her little hand, and said solemnly: "Hongnu, do you believe me?"
Ji Hongnu was stunned and nodded vigorously. Li Qi was her god, how could she not believe in Li Qi.
Li Qidao: "Hongnu, just now Madam asked me to give you a title---."
When Ji Hongnu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't care about this. I am very satisfied to be my concubine." She is simple and kind-hearted, and has already positioned herself in her heart, let alone Bai Qiannuo.
Off to fight for his first wife.
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I know, to be honest, I don't really care, but I hate the title of concubine, so I will definitely let you be my wife."
Ji Hongnu was shocked and said: "Brother, how can this be done---?"
Li Qi patted the back of her hand gently and said with a smile: "Listen to me first. What I mean is that I not only want you to be my wife, but I also want Qiniang to be my wife." When he said this, he couldn't help but blush.
Yihong, secretly thought, it seems that I have completely integrated into this society.
Ji Hongnu was completely confused and said: "Brother, this---this is illegal."
Li Qi chuckled: "Don't worry, I will definitely marry you openly in the future. This is my promise to you. The reason why I tell you all this is that I hope you don't think too much, you just need to raise your child with peace of mind.
Trust me. Leave all this to me."
Ji Hongnu nodded with red eyes and said: "Brother, I listen to you. In fact, as long as I can stay by my brother's side, Hongnu will be very satisfied."
Li Qi was greatly moved. With a woman like this, what could a husband ask for? He held her little hand tightly. He smiled knowingly and suddenly said: "By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you. I want to ask you to do that."
Two uncles are coming."
"Ah?" Ji Hongnu let out a soft ah, then his eyes dimmed and he said, "Uncle, please come, they may not be willing to come."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I dare to swear on my personality that as soon as they learn about your current situation, they will come over immediately. You need someone to accompany you now, and my eldest brother can't stay by your side all the time. If you have relatives,
You will feel much more comfortable if you are around me. Although your two uncles are a bit snobbish, after all, the family love cannot be let go and it is unbreakable. I think we should give them another chance."
If this was Li Qi in the past, he might not have done this, but since he lost his family and understood the pain involved, he has undergone subtle changes in his mentality.
Ji Hongnu didn't have much scheming in the first place. Perhaps she had hated her two uncles when her mother passed away, but as time passed, she had long forgotten it. Just like Li Qi, she did hope to have her relatives by her side.
, nodded and said: "Well, I listen to you, brother."
"Well, tell me the addresses and names of your two uncles, and I will send someone there immediately."
"Um."
...
Ji Hongnu suddenly became pregnant, and it was even more impossible for Li Qi to go to Jiangnan again. He could only rely on Qin Hui. So he first found the prince Zhao Huan and informed Zhao Huan of the matter. After all, he could not complete this play alone.
Yes, it also needs a very important supporting role.
After everything was prepared, Li Qi reported to Song Huizong on the morning of the second day, explaining the situation in Jiangnan and placing all the blame on Fang La.
Song Huizong was frightened by Fangla's uprising and hated Fangla to the core. When he heard that Fangla's remnants were causing trouble, he couldn't help being very angry and immediately ordered to destroy Fangla's remnants.
Li Qi then recommended Tong Guan to go.
Tong Guan couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly.
However, as expected by Qin Hui, Cai You immediately stood up and objected. Of course, he did not express his objections, but only pointed at Li Qi, saying that as the commander-in-chief of the Sanya, it was inappropriate for Li Qi to interfere in this matter.
The two sides began to argue fiercely again.
Just when the two sides were arguing, Zhao Huan suddenly stood up and recommended Han Shizhong. Cai You didn't know the inside story, and he was already a little panicked. After all, Li Qi put too much pressure on him, and he thought
Zhao Huan was helping him. He immediately agreed and gave many examples, almost saying that Han Shizhong was the reincarnation of the Martial Saint.
Song Huizong finally adopted Cai You's suggestion. After all, this was originally a matter of privy envoy classification, and appointed Han Shizhong as the martial arts doctor to lead the troops to annihilate the remnants of Fangla.
However, the officials never imagined that all of this was planned by a fifth-grade official.
Li Qi waited until all the dust settled before informing Song Huizong that he planned to send Qin Hui south to promote the new law. Song Huizong did not hesitate this time and quickly made the move, appointing Qin Hui as the Jiangnan patrol envoy. In addition to promoting the new law, he also had to
Collaborated with Han Shizhong to put down the rebellion.
This was the consistent style of the Song Dynasty. Military attachés were rarely allowed to lead the troops alone, and civilian officials were always sent to monitor the situation.
Li Qi felt a headache after hearing this. He never expected that Song Huizong would give him such a favor. As a result, Qin Hui could be called the number one when he arrived in Jiangnan. After all, he was an imperial envoy.
Cai You doesn't have a headache anymore. But it's better than Tong Guan going there. If Tong Guan arbitrarily claims credit again and takes the Privy Council back, then he will lose more than he gains.
However, Tong Guan saw all this and was quite dissatisfied with Cai You.
...
Taishi College.
Cai Jing sat in his chair, while Li Qi and Zhu Meng sat opposite him.
As soon as the morning session ended today, Li Qi was called here by Cai Jing. In fact, even if Cai Jing didn't look for him, he planned to look for Cai Jing.
"Li Qi, everything that happened in the morning was planned by you, right?" Cai Jing took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Li Qi did not hide anything, because he knew that his little tricks could not be hidden from Cai Jing. He nodded and said: "I'm sorry, Grand Master, I originally planned to discuss this matter with you first, but after all, the British prince is involved. I'm afraid that too much will happen."
It’s difficult for a teacher to do it, so I didn’t say it.”
Cai Jing sighed and said: "You don't need to explain this, I understand. But is the Jiangnan side really as dark and dark as you say?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Master, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, the real situation is far worse than what I said, otherwise I wouldn't be in a hurry to take pictures of Qin Xuezheng going to Jiangnan."
Zhu Meng frowned and said: "Then we won't send troops. I don't believe that the remnants of Fang La will be so rampant."
"Sending troops is not to deal with the remnants of Fang La, but if we don't send troops, Qin Xuezheng and the others may be in danger of their lives." Li Qi sighed and said: "To be honest, the situation in Jiangnan has changed, and I just want to find the Grand Master.
Discuss it with Yushi Zhu."
Zhu Meng was stunned and looked at Cai Jing.
Cai Jing said: "Please come and have a look."
Li Qi said sternly: "According to the news I recently learned, the Jiangnan side is much more difficult than I thought. Either we don't check it, or if we do, I'm afraid no one will be spared."
Zhu Meng said sullenly: "That's not what the economic envoy said at the beginning."
Damn it! Your people are so arrogant, how do you want me to protect you? Li Qi hurriedly said: "Zhu Yushi, please calm down and listen to me first."
Cai Jing nodded.
Zhu Meng didn't say anything at this time. In fact, in this matter, he had made a lot of concessions in order to take the overall situation into consideration. If Li Qi wanted to kill all his people, God knows whether he would be out of control and find him.
Come up.
Li Qi added: "This matter is of great importance. I will definitely put the overall situation first and will never harm the interests of the Grand Master and Zhu Yushi. However, in the twists and turns in Jiangnan officialdom, Zhu Yushi must be better than me.
I also know that if you worry too much, you will become constrained and unable to make a difference. If you want to take care of both sides at the same time, there is only one way."
"any solution?"
Li Qidao: "Surrender yourself."
"This is impossible." Zhu Meng objected immediately.
Li Qi sighed and said: "Zhu Yushi, if you want to take something, you must give it first. As long as those people can surrender and help Qin Xuezheng clean up the officialdom in Jiangnan, it will be the first achievement. The merits and demerits will balance the merits. The most they can do is
Lose your official position. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Once those who should be eradicated are eradicated, there will be a window of opportunity in Jiangnan officialdom. When the limelight is over, we can recommend them again.
They are officials, and they are now considered rich. During this period, they can also follow our Bureau of Commerce to revitalize Jiangnan's economy. I can guarantee that their money will only keep growing. This will also be a good way to keep them
Their property has been cleared, and it is a great achievement. When we recommend them again, we can also have a saying, and it will be done in one fell swoop. Isn't it wonderful?"
Zhu and Cai both fell silent after hearing this.
Li Qi didn't push too hard and waited patiently, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
After a while, Zhu Meng said: "Enxiang, what do you think?"
Cai Jing nodded lightly and said: "I think this method is very feasible. In fact, as long as you start to rectify Jiangnan officialdom, no matter who checks it or how you check it, the existence of those people will always be a hidden danger to you. If you are caught,
If someone seizes the handle, it will be terrible. At that time, we will not be able to take care of both sides, and it is very likely that we will end up losing everything. Now that we are on the line, we have to take action. Li Qi's plan can not only eliminate this hidden danger
, and being able to preserve your strength is the best strategy!"
Zhu Meng still seemed to be struggling a little, and said to Li Qi: "Economic envoy, are you really sure you can do this?"
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Zhu Yushi, now we are all in the same boat. If you are injured, I will not be immune. Have you ever seen someone cut himself with a knife?" But in his heart, he thought, what a joke, come out to fool around.
You have to be trustworthy and say that you want to get rid of the weeds. Then don't leave a single weed. Don't give me a chance, otherwise you will be the first to do it. This is the saying that if you want to take something, you must give it to it first.
true meaning.
After weighing it, Zhu Meng finally nodded and agreed. (To be continued...)
