Qi Ning was a little surprised, but he was very happy in his heart, he saw the seal under the golden seal, and vaguely recognized that it was the eight characters of "Grant to the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", that is, the emperor's jade seal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Printed by the jade seal, this piece of paper is a genuine exoneration, this is not as simple as a thousand gold, get up and thank: "The emperor is gracious, the minister is ......!" ”

Longtai had already interrupted: "No need. ”

Yang Ning put away the exoneration charm with a smile, and Long Tai said, "You said that this is a good opportunity for me, what do you say?" ”

"Your Majesty, if the Marquis of Zhongyi is duke, the King of Huainan will definitely be jealous, and the Marquis of Zhongyi will have more confidence to sing against the King of Huainan." Qi Ning put away the exoneration charm and said with a smile: "When they are not happy with the fight, the emperor can take the opportunity to promote his cronies." ”

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, just like this time, I heard the Queen Mother say that this time it is not only the loyal and righteous marquis who will be rewarded, but also many ministers?" Qi Ning asked, "Does the emperor know which ministers to reward?" ”

Long Tai sneered and said, "I naturally know in my heart, after all, it is those subordinates who follow Sima Lan, and many of these people are worshipping under Sima Lan's door. ”

"If you want Sima Lan to fight with the old guy of King Huainan and reward some of his horses, it's not impossible." Qi Ning said softly.

"Horse boy?" Longtai was curious: "What does Ma Zai mean?" ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "It's the meaning of the follower." ”

"Horse boy? Attendant? Long Tai laughed: "That's an interesting title." ”

"Your Majesty, if Sima Lan really wants to be rewarded, and he wants to add officials to his subordinates, the emperor doesn't have to object, but he can't agree to them all." Qi Ning blinked and asked, "Does the emperor understand what I mean?" ”

Long Tai is a very smart person, he understands a little bit, and said with a smile: "You mean, I ..... Can I make a deal with Sima Lan? ”

"Sima Lan is now assisting the emperor in governing the government, if I guessed correctly, if the emperor promotes officials, Sima Lan will definitely find various reasons to oppose it." Qi Ning said softly.

Long Tai frowned and said: "I have a few little companions in the palace, they began to serve me when I was a child, and after I ascended the throne, I was going to promote them to be eunuchs in the palace, but ......!" Snorted coldly, "The Queen Mother objected for various reasons, and even transferred those people away from my side, saying that I can't reuse eunuchs, otherwise there will be trouble." ”

Qi Ning bowed his head and said: "So this time, if Sima Lan wants the emperor to reward the officials he likes, the emperor can also propose a few candidates himself, and Sima Lan will never object." ”

Qi Ning can see one thing very clearly, sometimes political struggle is actually an art of compromise, in which both sides obtain the benefits they need and achieve the goal of mutual happiness.

Long Tai thought for a moment, but frowned and said, "I also think that if he wants to reward others, and I myself will promote a few people, he should not object." It's just that...... I don't know many people, even if I want to promote people, who can I use for a while? ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't need to be in a hurry, you just said that someone has recommended a few useful people, and the emperor is investigating, so you don't have to rush to decide who to use." ”

Long Tai bowed slightly, and said, "What you said is good. However, the ministers and officials in the court are either from the King of Huainan, or they are very close to the Marquis of Zhongyi, and their people, I naturally can't trust them easily. ”

"Your Majesty, there must be officials among them who stay out of the matter." Qi Ning said: "The emperor is wise and wise, as long as he observes a little, he will definitely be able to see some clues." The emperor employs people, the first is naturally to win over those officials who stay out of the matter, and the second is to promote some people who have been excluded and suppressed before, if these people are promoted by the emperor, they will definitely be grateful to the emperor. ”

Longtai laughed and said, "Qi Ning, when I talked to you today, it really dawned on me. After looking at Qi Ning a few times, he asked, "I wonder now, where did you get these fancy intestines?" ”

"Your Majesty, I have a lot of confidence in the emperor." Qi Ning said: "If the emperor thinks what I said is wrong, I won't say it in the future." ”

"Nonsense." Long Tai said: "I said you were wrong? He sighed with emotion: "I summoned you to the palace today, in fact, I didn't expect to say this to you, now it seems that I summoned you to the palace today, it's really right." Then he pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Let's eat first." ”

The two had dinner, and Fan Dehai brought people in to clean up, and when he saw that it was completely dark, Long Taicai said: "You are a foreign minister, you can't spend the night in the palace, I will let you go back first, and I will talk to you another day." After thinking about it, he said, "You can also help me find out what people can be used by me." ”

"Yes." Qi Ning smiled: "If the emperor is bored, he can summon me into the palace at any time to talk." After a pause, he kindly reminded: "Is there anything else the emperor has to do?" ”

"No, I'll talk to you next time."

Qi Ning said embarrassedly: "That...... Does the emperor still remember...... Hey, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't remember. ”

Long Tai was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said softly: "You said I don't remember anything?" ”

"Nothing." Qi Ning shook his head and said helplessly: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and some small things don't matter if you don't remember them. ”

Long Tai raised his foot, kicked Qi Ning's buttocks, and said, "You don't know what you mean?" Are you still thinking about the five hundred taels of gold I owe you? ”

Qi Ning smiled awkwardly and said, "That'...... That's what Xiao Guang promised, not the emperor, so ......! ”

"My name is Xiao Shaoyun, Xiao Guang is my pseudonym, and that is also me." Long Tai said: "I will not regret what I promised, and I said that I owed you five hundred taels of gold, so naturally I will not cheat." ”

Qi Ning originally thought that Xiao Guang had become the emperor, and the debt of five hundred taels of gold would be wasted, but when he heard that Longtai had kept his promise, he was very happy in his heart.

At this time, he knew that the real name of the little emperor was Xiao Shaoyun, and when he thought that the prince of Huainan was called Xiao Shaozong, he secretly thought that these two people were Shaozi, and they were also cousins.

Qi Ning thought that Longtai would let someone take a ticket of five hundred taels of gold and send him out of the palace, but Longtai didn't mean to cash it out immediately, but just asked: "What I gave you before, can you keep it?" ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, but soon thought that Fan Dehai went to the Hou Mansion to announce the decree that day, allowing him to inherit the title of Marquis of Jinyi, and also gave two things, one is a jade sword, and the other is a blank paper, the jade sword can also figure out the meaning of the emperor, but that blank paper, Qi Ning can't think of the meaning of it anyway.

Today, knowing that the little emperor was Xiao Guang, he vaguely understood the meaning.

"I gave you a sword made of white jade, and you should already understand what it means." Longtai said: "Jade is pure white and flawless, the sword is used to suppress demons and eliminate demons, the Marquis of Jinyi is loyal to the imperial court, and since Emperor Taizong, he has worked hard to pacify the chaos for Dachu and shock the Quartet. I hope that you, like the previous two generations of Jinyi Marquis, will not only be free of distractions and loyal to the imperial court, but also be able to become a sword of the imperial court. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that he had already guessed what this meant.

"The blank piece of paper I gave you, of course, you have also seen it." Long Tai smiled and said: "I want to tell you, I mean what I say, since I promised you five hundred taels of gold, then I will do what I say, that blank piece of paper, even if it is a debt set by Xiao Guang for you, but I am the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is rich in all directions, everything in the world is mine, of course I will not owe anything to anyone, and I don't need to make a debt to anyone." He blinked his eyes and smiled, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

Qi Ning originally understood very well that Xiao Guang was the emperor, the emperor was Xiao Guang, Xiao Guang owed himself five hundred taels of gold, just like if the emperor owed him a debt, the emperor also admitted this just now, but when the little emperor explained it like this now, his mind was a little confused, and he couldn't reason for it for a while, so he could only ask cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, please ask the Pope, who should I ask for the five hundred taels of gold?" Is it looking for ..... Are you looking for the emperor or Xiao Guang? ”

"Naturally, it's Xiao Guang." Longtai said: "Xiao Guang is me, I am a man of my word, and my words are counted, so it is impossible for Xiao Guang to go back on his word, you ask Xiao Guang for debts, it is natural and righteous." But remember, I am the Emperor, and the Emperor will not owe anything to anyone. ”

Qi Ning scolded in his heart, you fucking said over and over again for half a day, who did Lao Tzu ask for this account? Xiao Guang owes Lao Tzu five hundred taels of gold, you are Xiao Guang, but fuck you and say that the emperor will not be in debt, how can Lao Tzu argue with you about this reason?

He only felt that the debt was likely to be yellow like this.

Longtai sent Fan Dehai to personally send Qi Ning out of the palace, and Fan Dehai's tone was even more affectionate on the way: "Master Hou, it seems that the emperor is familiar with you at first sight, and the emperor also appreciates Lord Hou very much, and I will rely on Lord Hou to take care of him in the future." ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Father-in-law Fan is polite, I am a junior junior, and there are still many places to be taken care of by Father-in-law Fan in the future, if Father-in-law Fan is free, go to my house and walk around, and everyone will drink tea together." ”

Fan Dehai smiled even more, only thinking that although this Jinyi Hou was not very old, he had nothing to say about being a man, he didn't have a little arrogance, and he was very approachable.

Qi Ning was still thinking in his heart that the little emperor gave the two gifts that day, and naturally knew that he was a fake Marquis of Jinyi at that time, otherwise he would not have sent a blank piece of paper without any words written as a debt.

Xiang Tianbei followed Fan Dehai on the day of Qijing's funeral, probably on the order of Longtai to explore the situation, but Xiang Tianbei happened to see himself that day, and Xiang Tianbei's eyes were vicious, and he should have found that he was suspicious of the brocade prince that day, and even told Longtai.

Longtai and Xiang Tianbei are not completely sure, so that day in the flower market, Xiang Tianbei is likely to be secretly following him to further confirm his authenticity, until it is undoubted, Longtai called himself into the palace.
