Chapter 117: Four Fat Returns to Beijing
In the emperor's opinion, the credit is all up to him.
It's not that you can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and fight for the country, sometimes a word or a thing is in line with the emperor's heart, and it will still soar.
For example, Xu Qilin's disposition of Li Chengqian is exactly what His Majesty Li Er thinks, but he can't take the initiative to say it himself.
The crime of rebellion has only one way to die in all dynasties. His Majesty Li Er didn't want to kill his son, but he didn't want to open this mouth and set this precedent.
So, he needs someone else to build a ladder and give him a step down. He will be able to push the boat down the river and save Li Chengqian's life.
For Xu Qilin, Li Chengqian's life or death does not matter. When he heard that Li Sipang was urgently recalled to Beijing, he knew that the new heir had been determined, and it was Li Sipang.
At the same time, based on the eyes of His Majesty Li Er and the meaning of his words, he guessed that Sister A might be about to rise.
Li You, the king of Qi, rebelled and was captured, and was given to death and deposed as a concubine, and his mother Yin Defei was surrendered, and the position of the four concubines was vacant.
Whether to be directly promoted to Concubine De or other positions, Xu Qilin didn't think deeply, and this is not something he can decide. Anyway, it has always been his hope to benefit Sister A because of his own merits.
Of course, Xu Huineng was promoted to one of the four concubines, in addition to Xu Qilin's help, being pregnant is also a reason. In addition, Xu Hui is quite favored in the palace, which is also a fact that cannot be ignored.
Xu Qilin left the palace with hope and joy, but did not tell anyone about it. After all, it's just speculation, and it is a mistake to spread rumors before it is implemented.
Now, he has accomplished two goals. The first is not to make Sister A go to the Qinglan Ancient Buddha of Chongsheng Palace in the future, and the second is to push Li Sifat to the top position, so that the scumbag Li Zhi is out.
As for what makes money and is promoted, for Xu Qilin, it is good to stop in moderation, and there is no need to be a lifelong goal.
His personal goal has been basically achieved, and Xu Qilin feels extremely relaxed. As for other things, they have become lighter for him, and he doesn't have to bother too much.
In particular, the work of Dayingku has been managed by officials at all levels, where does Xu Qilin still need to do it himself?
Xu Qilin was at ease, and he didn't take it seriously for the big court meeting the day after tomorrow. It's just a matter of stepping forward to say a word, and his official rank and position still have this qualification.
But before he could be lazy, Sun Chong, the captain of the horses, came to invite him to a banquet in the house. Xu Qilin didn't think much about it, and happily went.
The emperor has many sons and daughters, and there are many captains and horses. Duhe has been imprisoned, and the execution is a certainty and cannot be changed. Even if Princess Chengyang is the concubine of His Majesty Li Er, it is no exception.
Guessing the thoughts of Changsun Chong, as well as Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, or Princess Chengyang to inquire about the news, Xu Qilin came to the Horse Mansion.
The eldest grandson Chong was still warm on the surface, but Xu Qilin was the only one who went to the banquet. Xu Qilin felt that he was not inquiring about it, let alone a big mouth, and Changsun Chong's meal was probably invited in vain.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is very well conditioned, and attacks are becoming more and more rare." The eldest grandson rushed up and thanked him again, holding his wine glass and said: "After Qi Lin returned to Beijing, he was busy with official business, and he was finally invited, and Her Royal Highness the princess was already very surprised by so-and-so." ”
Xu Qilin said with a smile: "Brother Eldest Sun is polite, what the family teacher taught, although he is not good at learning, he can heal people and treat people, so he still has to do his best." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Her Royal Highness the princess is in good health, but it is the favor of God, and he is only doing his best, but he does not dare to thank Brother Lao again and again. ”
Changsun Chong still praised a few words, and chatted with Xu Qilin for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang's illness has improved greatly, and Qi Lin has contributed a lot." His Royal Highness Changle has repeatedly visited the palace, and now he has gone to most of his worries. ”
Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness Jinyang is a heart disease, and there is a bit of a problem with the feng shui of Jinyang Palace. Although it has improved now, it is difficult to say when it will be cured. ”
Eldest Sun Chong nodded and said, "Now that you know the cause, you have the means to treat it." It's just that Qi Lin has to stay in Chang'an for a little longer. ”
After a pause, the eldest grandson Chong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Wei will return to Beijing in the near future, His Royal Highness the princess and a certain want to take the wind and wash the dust for him, and celebrate His Royal Highness Jinyang's initial recovery from a serious illness, Qi Lin can participate in it!" ”
Is this a temptation?! Xu Qilin pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "This news has just been learned, since it was invited by the eldest grandson and Her Royal Highness the princess, how dare you push it back?" ”
Changsun Chong raised his glass and signaled, drank half a glass of wine, and spoke again It was much more straightforward, "According to Qi Lin, His Royal Highness King Wei has been recalled to Beijing this time, I'm afraid he won't go to Luozhou again, right?" ”
became the crown prince, of course, he will not be the governor of anything again.
Xu Qilin lowered his eyelids and thought about it, and said, "Most likely it will be like this!" ”
Eldest Sun Chong's eyes flickered, knowing that his father's guess was good, the prince was going to be replaced, and it must be Li Sifat.
In fact, the relationship between the eldest grandson Wuji and these three relatives and nephews is average, even when Li Chengqian did not take the wrong path, it is the same.
And an old fox like the eldest grandson Wuji, the political sense of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government is also very keen. Whether Li Chengqian is the crown prince or replaced by Li Sipang, they will not take refuge as usual, and only His Majesty Li Er is loyal.
As for what burns the cold stove and adds to the icing on the cake, it can only be the frustrated in the political arena, pinning their hopes on holding a new thigh and being able to climb higher in the future.
Of course, if His Majesty Li Er really wanted to cultivate carefully and find an assistant for Li Sipang, the eldest grandson Wuji and others would not refuse.
As for Xu Qilin, everyone analyzes from the age that he will be the talent that His Majesty Li Er reserves for his son. As long as you don't make big mistakes, it's only a matter of time before you soar and gain a foothold in the court.
Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji also wants to know Xu Qilin's political tendencies. Whether to stand in line now, or continue to maintain the status quo, only His Majesty Li Er is the first to see.
Moreover, Xu Hui is pregnant, and the news has spread outside the palace, which may affect Xu Qilin. Although a male baby is born, it will not pose a threat to Li Sifat.
The eldest grandson Chong kept testing at the banquet, and Xu Qilin was not ambiguous. But what he said did not involve the attribution of the crown prince in the future.
Listening to his meaning, it is very clear that no matter who is the prince, Xu Qilin is the Ku Cheng of Dayingku, so he is only responsible to His Majesty Li Er.
Eldest Sun Chong is not surprised, Eldest Sun Wuji said before that Xu Qilin is a smart person, and most of them will be such a choice.
At this time, Li Sipang was on his way to Chang'an with his guards.
Regarding Li Chengqian's accident, Li Sipang didn't know. Starry Night came to summon him was the palace guards and eunuchs, who were strictly protected along the way, and his mouth was very tight, which made him confused.
Of course, Li Sipang had cranky thoughts. But before there is no certainty, where does he dare to be sure, let alone talk nonsense.
Sometimes proud, sometimes worried, sometimes worried, sometimes happy, Li Sipang's mood is constantly changing, with this kind of complex emotions, he finally came to Chang'an.
