Chapter 808 Sending God is easy, asking God is difficult
Powerful! So powerful!
It was the first time for Hong Tianjiu, Zhou Hua and others to see the powerful side of Li Qi, and they were stunned without realizing it, with their eyes filled with a burning light of admiration.
Li Qi glanced at them and said with a smile: "This can also remind you to keep a line in your life so that we can meet each other in the future."
Hong Tianjiu was slightly startled and said: "That's not right, brother, you have done a great job just now. You are just a little bit worse than my brother. However, it is boring if you don't do a great job. You should be more bald just now."
Isn't it interesting to feed them loose chicken and then lock them in a room?"
This guy is so vicious. Li Qi was so frightened that he shrank his head back and said, "Xiaojiu, you are really getting more and more evil."
Hong Tianjiu put his head together and said, "Didn't I learn all this from you? Last time in Tangyin, what did you do--uh huh huh."
Li Qi quickly covered his mouth and cursed secretly, "Damn it, if this were said out loud and spread to Hong Nu and the others, wouldn't my glorious and majestic image be wiped out?" He said to the guests who were paying attention:
"Someone is treating you. Why are you all eating so carelessly? Do you want to pay for it yourself?"
The guests laughed and turned back to continue eating.
Chai Cong smiled and said: "But Li Qi, you have just offended them all, why not offend them more thoroughly."
"Offended? Huh, can't you see that I'm teasing them? Now they are the ones who have offended me." Li Qi shook his head and said: "However, saying another word to them is a waste of my precious time.
Again, they are not qualified enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, another group of people came in from outside.
Li Qi raised his head and said: "Look, the real master is here." But he thought in his heart, md, he came so fast. He must have been hiding in a corner just now. They are really a group of people who want to be bitches and also want to build a memorial arch.
Hypocrites, it's a pity that you should not have met your Grandpa Li.
Chai Cong and others turned around to look, with surprised expressions on their faces. This group of more than ten people were all very distinguished, and they were involved in almost all departments of the central government. There were bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, three
Officials from the Sixth Department of the Province, the Third Department, and the Privy Council. There are also officials from the Yushitai and various temple supervisors. Only those first-rank officials, the Three Yamen, and the eunuchs from the Internal Affairs Department are not included.
Damn it, I didn’t expect that there are people in every department looking at me displeased. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. Li Qi was secretly surprised and hurried up to greet him. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Everyone, you are welcome to visit this shop. It's really exciting."
Hui. Li Qi has failed to greet you from afar, and has failed to respect you."
Seeing Li Qi's enthusiasm, those people were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other. They seemed to be saying that the script was not like this.
Seeing that they were silent, Li Qi was a little stunned, and then said: "My lords, I apologize for not greeting you well."
Song Moquan was slightly startled, then squeezed out a smile and said: "Where, where. We have been demoted to common people by the emperor, and now we cannot bear this title."
I want to win sympathy, but I am a cold-blooded animal. Li Qi groaned and said: "So that's it, let me just say, why did I feel so cordial when I saw you today? It turns out that we are all fallen people from the end of the world. This
It's just fate. Just because of this fate, I'm going to treat you today. Please don't be polite. Invite me upstairs. Invite me upstairs."
Is this something to be proud of? Do you need to shout so loudly?
Song Moquan and others cursed secretly, nodded, and went upstairs dejectedly under the strange eyes of the guests.
Come to the heaven and earth box upstairs.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Guys, please wait a moment. The food will be served in a moment. I'll go to the kitchen to do some work first."
You are the protagonist. If you leave, what are we doing here?
It's okay, as soon as everyone sat down, they suddenly started playing with a swish sound, just like the veteran, their movements were surprisingly consistent, and the atmosphere was extremely serious.
Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? It seemed that they were in a hurry. Li Qi almost laughed out loud when he saw it. Lin Qian, the official, quickly stood in front of Li Qi and said hehe: "Economic envoy ---."
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "No, no, no. This junior is no longer the economic envoy. You guys should call me Master Li. Now when I hear the word 'economic envoy', I feel panicked."
Xue Zhi, the judge from the Third Division, chuckled: "To be honest, I came here today to discuss something important with Master Li."
Lu Baixiao saw that they all had lowered their composure and could no longer pretend to be noble. He stretched out his hand and said: "Master Li, please sit down, please sit down." They were really anxious. Of course, they knew that Song Huizong would not really let them After becoming an official, they also understood that Li Qi would definitely return to the court, but they understood even more that Song Huizong had asked them to embarrass him. If this person was not disgraced, they would not be able to go back on business.
It's a pity that Li Qi also understood it and said hehe: "No, this is the seat of honor. How dare Li Qi and He De sit on this seat?"
It's so shameless for you to say such things even though you were already sitting on it. When Lu Baixiao saw that Li Qi hadn't even finished speaking, he sat on it. He couldn't help but cursed secretly, but he didn't say much. After all, Li Qi didn't Let's go, they are all satisfied.
Li Qi glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "I wonder what you are asking me for?"
As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Song Moquan had an extraordinary status. He smiled and said: "That's it. Since Master Li took office, no one in the court understands the new laws anymore, so that Master Li's new laws were forced to stop. We are very worried. As we all know, it would be a pity if Master Li’s new laws to benefit the country and benefit the people end without any disease, so for the sake of the common people in the world, we beg Master Li to serve as the economic envoy again.”
Wow! You can say such hypocritical words. You are a great bachelor. You obviously want something from me, but you still use the people of the world as a cover. It is so shameless. Wait until I scare you again. Li Qi waved his hand and said : "Scholar of the Song Dynasty, if you come here to eat, or come to me to talk about poetry and poetry, I welcome you very much. If you come to ask me to become an official, then--then you better not come to me."
Talking about poetry and poetry? Do you, a cook, understand? Lin Qian said anxiously: "Why is this? Do you really want to live under the fire all your life? This is too humiliating."
"Yes, yes, Master Li has a great talent and should contribute to the country. There are many people who want to contribute to the country, but they don't have this opportunity."
"Yes, as long as you nod your head, Master Li, you will be the economic leader. Don't miss such a great opportunity."
"Moreover, you have made a lot of efforts for the new law. If you just give up, then your previous efforts will be in vain."
...
As expected, they are all well-educated people. It would be a waste not to be a lobbyist. They have found so many excuses and said them so high-sounding. They are just trying to cover up that they want something from me. Li Qi lamented and said: "I'm old."
These two simple words almost made everyone sitting here faint from anger.
Together, we are almost 500 years old. You are not even thirty yet, but you are talking about being old in front of us. This is a shame. We old guys put down our dignity and ran over to beg you.
Isn't it clear that he is mocking us?
Song Moquan gritted his teeth, holding back his anger, and said: "Master Li is joking, you are as big as a dog. How can you say you are old when you are in high spirits?"
Li Qi sighed: "I'm not saying that I'm old, I'm saying that my heart is old and I'm about to die of old age. This may be the so-called grief that is greater than the death of the heart."
Lu Baixiao said: "No, no, a real man should be able to bend and stretch. Small setbacks are really not worth mentioning. Master Li, don't let your emotions take over. You will waste your great future."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Master Lu doesn't know something. These days, I have been shutting up at home and thinking about my mistakes. I have done a deep self-examination and found that I am too simple and kind. People say that officialdom is dangerous and it is really not suitable for me. This time
My official position is not guaranteed, and next time I may lose my job, so it’s better not to take this risk.”
Are you simple and kind? Then we are no longer harmless rabbits. How can you be more shameless?
The others were speechless.
Song Moquan saw Li Qi pushing left and right, and thought to himself, this guy just wants to force us to bow our heads in front of him, that's it, that's it, we have completely lost, and there is no face left. He said: "Li
Master, we also know that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past, and we are deeply sorry for this. We also ask Master Li to be accommodating and help us this time."
Dude! You should continue to pretend with me and see who can outlast the other. Li Qi said very cheerfully: "I like to help others. As long as it's not about giving money or effort, the rest is easy."
If you don't contribute money or effort? Then how can you help? Xue Zhi cursed secretly and said with a slight embarrassment: "To be honest, the emperor ordered me to come to invite you this time. If you don't agree, we will
I would have to be demoted to a commoner. If I were alone, it wouldn't matter, but there are dozens of people in my family, all counting on me, so I ask Master Li to help us this time."
The others nodded one after another and wiped the corners of their eyes, acting extremely realistically. Anyway, there were outsiders here, so they didn't act too hard.
An old actor, an absolute old actor! Li Qi rubbed his forehead in embarrassment and said: "This---."
Song Moquan was well versed in the ways of being an official. When he saw Li Qi's expression, he knew it was time to talk about interests and said: "Master Li, please rest assured. As long as you are willing to serve as the economic envoy again, we will definitely support your new law."
.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Wow! Now you just want to send me away. If you have the ability, don’t support me. After this, you conservatives have been greatly weakened. I’m still afraid that you will fail. You treat me like I haven’t done any business, and I don’t even understand equivalent exchange!
Li Qi raised his head and said seriously: "Everyone, actually I really want to help you, but as the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit. I don't have a suitable excuse. Of course, your official position is also an excuse.
But if others find out, they can’t say that I am using public affairs for personal gain.”
Lu Baixiao said: "Master Li, actually the emperor also wants you to go back, as long as you nod."
Li Qi shook his head and sighed: "No, no, even so, I can't pass my own test. I was dismissed for good reasons and solid evidence. Even I can't forgive myself for making such a mistake."
As for me, if I don’t have a proper reason, I really wouldn’t be able to go back.”
This guy said so much, isn't he just bargaining? Let's first see what he wants to say. Song Moquan said: "Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't know what kind of reason Master Li wants?"
Li Qi said with a tragic face: "There is a reason why the imperial court needs me."
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
Lu Baixiao was surprised and said: "The imperial court needs you very much now."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Where, where, Academician Lu is joking."
Lin Qian said depressedly: "But where can we find a reason to come out?"
Li Qi coughed lightly and said faintly: "Actually, there is a very suitable reason in front of me, but it has a great relationship with you, so don't mention it, don't mention it."
You have already said it, can we not mention it? Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and secretly put themselves on guard. Song Moquan asked cautiously: "I wonder what the reason Master Li meant?"
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Nothing, nothing. Now that I think about it, you will definitely not agree to this reason."
Xue Zhi said sarcastically: "Master Li, whether we agree or not is only secondary. You can tell me the reason first so that we can discuss it."
"Oh, Judge Xue is right."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Then I'll say it."
Everyone nodded, but they were very nervous.
Li Qi didn't say it directly. He was still afraid of scaring them into having a heart attack, so he dipped his hand into some tea and wrote two words on the table.
Everyone stood up one after another and walked behind Li Qi to take a look. One person read: "Food price."
