Therefore, it is enough for Li Tai to be a low-key person. The most important thing is not to have bad relations with Li Chengqian, at least on the surface, to appear "brothers, friends and brothers".

Why is this important, Xu Qilin also considered it from the perspective of foresight.

After Li Chengqian was deposed in history, why did His Majesty Li Er finally choose Li Zhi instead of the fat "Qingque" he loved, and not out of a fatherly heart, wanting to save the three sons-in-law and not repeat the tragedy of the Xuanwumen brothers killing each other?

Because Li Tai's desire to win the heir is not surprising, and it is not the main reason for his final failure. Not to mention that he is in a very promising position, but the common people are still looking forward to "the emperor will take turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year"!

Who wouldn't want to be an emperor? It's also a dream to dream!

But His Majesty Li Er is thinking that Li Tai and Li Chengqian have a grudge because of the position of the monarch, and it can even be said that it has reached the level of having you without me.

Therefore, if it is passed on to Li Tai, after a hundred years, Li Tai will be able to treat his former sworn enemy Li Chengqian well? Don't find a crime to slaughter!

As for Li Zhi, he has a cowardly personality, and His Majesty Li Er is very dissatisfied with this. But he didn't have any holidays with Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and he didn't show the ambition to compete for the throne. If he succeeds to the throne, he will not kill the two older brothers who are no longer a threat.

With such an analysis, how could Xu Qilin not understand the key to this struggle for the throne? Just like an old lady with great wisdom, she doesn't fight or grab, and she is indifferent, and there will naturally be what she should have.

The so-called "fight is not to fight, not to fight is to fight", seemingly fierce and cruel, you live and die struggle for succession, do not show the edge, with static braking, is the most sophisticated and perfect means.

Xu Qilin has seen all this clearly, of course he must thank Li Sipang for his invitation, so as not to get involved!

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is too elevated to be a subordinate official." Xu Qilin arched his hand towards Li Sipang and said: "The compilation of "Kuodi Chronicles" requires a well-educated person, not to mention that the officials are shallow in their studies, so they can be worthy of this position; is this age and temperament, and the lower officials are not people who can sit on a chair and endure their temperament! ”

Ma Zhou didn't know what Xu Qilin was thinking, and he had rarely been so humble before. But seeing that he politely rejected Li Tai, the king of Wei, and smiled as if he was laughing at himself, the gaze cast at him seemed to have a different meaning.

After a little hesitation, Secretary Ma said: "Captain Zhiguo is still young, and it is normal for him to like to be active or not quiet, and it really doesn't seem to be a temperament that can endure boring work. ”

His Majesty Li Er also thought deeply of this, nodded with a smile, and said: "Qi Lin is still a floating teenager, and it is difficult for him to let him compile books. ”

When Li Tai, the king of Wei, saw that his father had spoken, he gave up for the time being, and it was not good to be reluctant. But what he thought about was not Xu Qilin's age and temperament, but why Xu Qilin refused.

thinks of him Li Tai, although he is not the prince, but his favor is not inferior to Li Chengqian, and even in the degree of closeness on weekdays, it is far better.

Especially after the crown prince Li Chengqian suffered from a foot disease in the seventh year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er seemed to be a little estranged and allowed him not to go to the court.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er adjusted the division of seventeen sons as kings, except for five who were young, and the remaining twelve were edicted officials.

Only to Li Tai, the governor of Xiangzhou, kept him by his side, and it seemed that he had the intention of abolishing the prince.

Moreover, His Majesty Li Er's favor for Li Tai was worse than a day, not only often taking him around to be lucky, and even not seeing him for a short day, but also sending a white falcon named "General" that he raised to deliver letters, and the wild goose went back and forth several times in one day.

Because Li Tai is obese, His Majesty Li Er is worried that his beloved son will have such a round appearance, and it will be very hard to visit the court, and it is unheard of to allow him to take a small sedan chair to the court.

At the same time, His Majesty Li Er also allowed Li Tai to build a literary museum in the palace.

You must know that when Li Er was the king of Qin, he had the team and shogunate of Tiance Mansion. Different names and similar uses have to make many people, including Li Tai, have all kinds of complex imaginations.

Xu Qilin politely rejected Li Sipang, and got the support of Secretary Ma, and His Majesty Li Er's intention was not resolute, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After reorganizing his thoughts, Xu Qilin bowed and said, "Weichen has another request, I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

"Say." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and looked up at Xu Qilin, smiling rather than smiling.

Cut, put on this expression and think you know why? Could it be that the old lady told him?

Xu Qilin lowered his head slightly, and said very respectfully: "A few days ago, I listened to what Rong Niangniang said in Bingxia Palace, and the fragrant dew was very popular with the nobles in the palace. Wechen didn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, this fragrance was developed by Wechen and sold by the uncle. Since the nobles in the palace like it, Weichen is willing to pay tribute to the court, and he hopes that His Majesty will allow it. ”

His Majesty Li Er laughed and teased: "Paying tribute to the court, isn't that less money?" Doing business as an official also violates the laws of the imperial court, right? ”

Hey, this guy really seems to know something, isn't he surprised at all? What kind of law, I can be considered frank and lenient, you still want me to sit through the prison?

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "The sale of Xianglu is run by Uncle To, and it will also be an industry reserved for Xiao Zhao in the future. My brother will graduate from Hongwenkan in a year or two, and at the age of nineteen, he will also reach the age of marrying, and he will need a lot of money to operate. ”

Ma Zhou nodded and praised: "At a young age, Captain Zhiguo not only wants to do great things for the country and the people, but also makes money to take care of his family, which is really admirable." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and teased: "Let's talk about the price of the incense dew for the tribute?" According to your stinginess when you see money, it won't be a penny, right? ”

Well, this is to put aside the matter of official business. As for the tribute, let's make less money, let's suffer a little loss!

Xu Qilin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, this fragrant camping is a small profit, and Weichen can't afford to send it if he wants to." This, in order to show loyalty and sincerity, Weichen is discounted! ”

"Tall!" His Majesty Li Er didn't think about it, so he waved his hand, "Sincerity is not enough, loyalty is lacking." ”

High, how high? Now that Xianglu is buying it, it is profitable, and it can be sold for an additional two or three percent of the price.

Xu Qishuang blinked her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "That, Weichen is loyal, so he will charge the cost price, seven percent off." ”

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Xu Qilin, nodded reluctantly, and said, "Stinky boy, you still earn a lot of money at seven folds!" It's called a tribute, but in fact, in the name of the court to block the covetousness of others, you think I don't know your careful thoughts. ”

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er looked at Xu Qilin's surprised gaze, was very satisfied, and said, "Well, I am rich all over the world, and the beads will not make people laugh?" The monthly tribute is 200 bottles, which are settled by the inner government. ”
