Chapter 288: Wang Qinruo's Reminder

Liu E and Zhao Zhen came to visit Wang Qinruo in person, but Wang Qinruo was sick at this time and couldn't get out of bed at all, so he sent his son Wang Congyi to greet him on his behalf, and Liu E immediately came to the inner house to visit each other after inquiring about Wang Qinruo's condition.

Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen followed Liu E closely, when the three of them entered Wang Qinruo's room, they also saw Wang Qinruo lying on the bed at a glance, Li Zhang had seen each other a few times, Wang Qinruo was in good spirits at that time, but when he saw him again today, he almost didn't recognize it, before there were people in the court who speculated that Wang Qinruo was pretending to be sick and wanted to escape the punishment of Wu Zhi's case, and now it seems that these people are very wrong.

See also...... See the Queen Mother, Your Majesty! Although Wang Qinruo's figure was extremely weak, when he saw Liu E coming in, he still bent his body and wanted to salute her, but he struggled several times and didn't sit up, so he could only arch his hand helplessly.

"Wang Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!" Liu E also stepped forward quickly at this time, but as soon as the words came out, her tears flowed down, which made Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang next to them also look at each other in surprise, but it was not good to say anything at this time.

"Old minister...... The old minister's health is not good, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to help the Queen Mother deal with government affairs! I saw Wang Qinruo reluctantly sit up at this time with the support of the maid, and then leaned on the quilt and smiled weakly at Liu E.

"Wang Aiqing, don't say these unlucky words, there is still a lot of government affairs on the mourning family's side that need Aiqing's help to deal with, you have to recuperate with peace of mind, don't think nonsense!" Liu E spoke again at this time to comfort, but when she said this, she couldn't help but wipe her tears again, which made Li Zhang even more surprised, such an emotional Liu E is very rare, the last time I saw her like this, it was when Zhao Heng died.

For Liu E's comfort, Wang Qinruo smiled reluctantly, although he didn't say anything more, but began to discuss the arrangement of government affairs with Liu E, even at this time, Wang Qinruo still has a clear idea, and he is very clear one by one, as the head of the prime minister, he is usually responsible for more affairs, so he wants to explain clearly to Liu E before leaving, so that it is convenient for the successor to take over.

"Queen Mother, after I left, I looked at the court, only Wang Zeng can take over the phase, although Wang Zeng is not as resourceful as Ding Wei, not as stable as Wang Dan, and a little less intelligent than the minister, but he is a loyal and upright person, this person is the prime minister, and he will definitely assist the Queen Mother and His Majesty to stabilize the country of the Great Song Dynasty!" At the end, Wang Qinruo suddenly changed the topic and began to recommend a candidate to Liu E to replace him.

As the saying goes, "people are dying, and their words are also good", although Wang Qinruo and Wang Zeng have the same surname, but the two have always been at odds, mainly because Wang Zeng looked at him unpleasantly, and the great hero who overthrew Ding Wei was Wang Zeng, but the position of prime minister fell to Wang Qinruo, Wang Zeng was just a second minister, which made him naturally dissatisfied, of course, Liu E's arrangement also allowed Wang Zeng to contain Wang Qinruo, lest he be as dictatorial as before.

"Wang Zeng has always been at odds with Aiqing, why should he recommend him?" Liu E asked with a hesitant expression when she heard this, it seemed that she also had some doubts about Wang Zeng Weixiang.

"Hehe, the minister is about to die, and he has long been out of mind about these grievances, and in addition to Wang Zeng, he can't find a more suitable candidate than him, the political governor Lu Zongdao is old, Lu Yijian is too young, the privy envoy Cao is too domineering, and there are too many people who have offended, and Zhang Zhibai, Zhang Shixun and others are inferior to Wang Zeng, so only Wang Zeng is the most suitable!" When Wang Qinruo said this, his two eyes were also staring at Liu E with blazing eyes, as if there was something else in this?

I saw that Liu E hesitated for a long time at this time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, Wang Zeng has made great contributions to the imperial court, and he had two opportunities to worship the prime minister before, but they were all blocked by the mourning family, and the so-called matter is only three, and it is indeed his turn, otherwise I am afraid he will complain!" ”

Seeing Liu E agree, Wang Qinruo was obviously relieved, and then turned his eyes to Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the other party at this time, but Wang Qinruo said again at this time: "Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, and it will definitely be the blessing of the people of my Great Song Dynasty in the future, but Your Majesty is still too young and not very familiar with government affairs, so I have to follow the Queen Mother to learn more about government affairs!" ”

"Thank you for the advice, I have written it down!" Zhao Zhen also bowed at this time, maybe Li Zhang's words played a role before, so he also respected Wang Qinruo's attitude a lot, which also made Wang Qinruo smile with satisfaction.

Wang Qinruo told Zhao Zhen a few words, and finally his eyes suddenly turned to Li Zhang behind Zhao Zhen, which made Li Zhang also stunned, thinking that the other party was going to say a few words to him, but he didn't expect Wang Qinruo to just smile at him meaningfully, and then turned his eyes to Liu E again, and didn't say anything to him at all, which made Li Zhang also a little disappointed.

Liu E and Zhao Zhen did not stay here for too long, because Wang Qinruo's body was too weak, and he had to take a breath after saying a few words, Liu E was worried about aggravating his condition, so he also offered to leave with his leave, but when he left, he also told him several times to recuperate, which made Wang Qinruo also very moved.

However, just when Liu E was about to take Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang away, she didn't expect Wang Qinruo to suddenly say at this time: "Queen Mother, I have a few words I want to talk to Li Duwei alone, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Liu E and Zhao Zhen were stunned when they heard Wang Qinruo's words, and then looked at Li Zhang next to them, and Li Zhang was also surprised at this time, he didn't expect Wang Qinruo to leave him alone, except that the two had a contact when Wang Qinruo was just the prime minister, and there has been no intersection since then, why would the other party talk to him alone at this time?

"Zhang'er, this kid is indeed likable, since Wang Xiang wants to leave him alone to talk, then Zhang'er, you can stay a little longer, I will go back to the palace with Your Majesty first!" Liu E did not refuse Wang Qinruo's request, and finally smiled at Li Zhang, and then left with Zhao Zhen, leaving only Li Zhang and Wang Qinruo in the room.

"I don't know what the king wants to do with the kid?" Li Zhang took the initiative to ask Wang Qinruo at this time.

I saw Wang Qinruo take a few breaths at this time, and then he showed a smile and said: "When I was in front of the Queen Mother just now, I wanted to praise Li Duwei a few words, after all, you rose to prominence at a young age, even if you don't have a relationship with the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, you can definitely become the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty in the future, but in the end I changed my mind, do you know why?" ”

Li Zhang thought for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "Because whether Wang Xiang said it or not, it actually didn't have much impact on me, so Wang Xiang didn't waste his tongue?" ”

"Haha, it's not all." I saw Wang Qinruo suddenly laugh at this time, and then gasped a few times because he was too hard, and then said again, "Actually, the reason why I changed my mind is because I suddenly thought that Li Duwei, you are actually in a very dangerous position now, if you don't make a good choice in the future, I'm afraid the end will be extremely miserable!" ”

"Why did the king say this?" Li Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked with a solemn face, he was very convinced of Wang Qinruo's vision, since the other party said so, there must be his reasons.

I saw Wang Qinruo gasp a few times again at this time, and then said again: "Li Duwei, you are not only outstanding in your own talent, but also with a relative, the Queen Mother is extremely generous to you, Your Majesty and you are also deeply affectionate, it can be said that all over the court, I can't find a second person more special than you, if nothing else, as I just said, you will definitely be in a high position in the future and become the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, but the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, you are sandwiched between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, if you are ...... in the future"

Wang Qinruo deliberately stopped when he said this, and then looked at Li Zhang with a smile, and Li Zhang was also shocked at this time, because he already knew what Wang Qinruo was going to say next, now Liu E is becoming more and more obsessed with power, and has no intention of letting go at all, while Zhao Zhen is growing up day by day, and the two will inevitably have a gap due to the seizure of power in the future, where should he go then?

Seeing Li Zhang's expression, Wang Qinruo also smiled indifferently, he likes to talk to smart people like Li Zhang, some things that are too sensitive are inconvenient to say, but the other party can also guess, which also prevents outsiders from hearing and telling the truth.

"Thank you for the reminder, I just want to ask the prime minister, in your opinion, how should I deal with myself?" Li Zhang also showed a respectful look at this time, and immediately bowed to Wang Qinruo and respectfully asked.

"You don't have to thank me, in fact, I also have my own selfishness, my body is not good, and the children and grandchildren in the family are not particularly outstanding people, and I made too many enemies during my lifetime, even if the queen mother can protect my Wang family for the time being, I am afraid that I will still be retaliated against in the future, so I hope that Li Duwei can take care of one or two in the future, and the old man will be grateful." Wang Qinruo waved his hand.

"Wang Xiang rest assured, I am a person who knows how to repay my kindness, as long as it is within my ability in the future, I will definitely not let the Wang family be bullied!" Li Zhang also said at this time.

Although Li Zhang's words added a premise, that is, within his ability, this seemed a little insincere, but Wang Qinruo was very satisfied, because he knew that he and Li Zhang did not have a deep relationship, and a reminder in exchange for the other party's promise was quite good.

"With the words of Li Duwei, the old man is relieved." Wang Qinruo took a few breaths again at this time, and then said again, "Actually, even if I don't say it, Li Duwei should be able to think that although the Queen Mother is in power, she is too old, and His Majesty has no power, but he has time to wait, and for Li Duwei, there are actually three ways to go!" ”
