East Palace.

There was a crackling sound.

"How can it be justified, how can it be justified."

Zhao Huan paced around the room, and the expression on his face was particularly angry.

However, the reason for his anger was the pile of gifts behind him, such as ginseng, jade, jade ruyi, etc., all of which were rare and innumerable.

Needless to say, this is naturally a gift from those ministers, now that the biggest threat to the East Palace has been eliminated, it can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, those ministers are not in a hurry to tie up with the future emperor, for fear of falling behind, especially when they were biased towards King Yun, even the old book was taken out to please Zhao Huan.

It's a pity that although this Zhao Huan is indecisive, unassertive, cowardly and timid, he inherited a very fine tradition of the Northern Song Dynasty emperor, that is, frugality, he hates luxury very much, and it is precisely because of this that he fell out with Wang Huang at the beginning, in fact, he can't help but be Wang Huang, when Cai Jing was in power, the relationship with him was not so harmonious.

Li Qi stood aside and looked at the treasures in that place, feeling pity in his heart.

"Before Wang Huang's reign, you turned a blind eye to me, and even the basic etiquette seemed careless and perfunctory, and now you want to slap me with these treasures that have been scraped, this is undoubtedly to trap me in injustice, this group of people is really more hateful than Wang Huang, how can I, Zhao Huan, be at their mercy." Zhao Huan didn't seem to have vented enough, and suddenly picked up a nearby jade Ruyi and was about to smash it into the ground.

"Your Highness."

Li Qi's face on the side tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and firmly grabbed the jade Ruyi that was held above his head by Zhao Huan, and said, "Your Highness, please calm your anger, this jade Ruyi was given by the British." ”

Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not right, you don't still want to speak for him." ”

Li Qi said, "Your Highness, you let go first." But I said in my heart, I don't have the habit of standing so close to the and talking.

Zhao Huan snorted angrily, let go of his hand, and sat back in his chair angrily.

Boy, this thing is worth a lot of money. Li Qi played with it for a while, and then carefully put it back, and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Highness is angry, their actions are really human, don't blame, don't blame." ”

Zhao Huan snorted: "Then they look down on people too much, how can this prince be confused by these things." ”

This is really a group of straw bales, and it is much more practical to send dozens of Geng Nanzhong inflatable dolls to keep them. Li Qi shook his head and said: "That's just Your Highness, you are starting from your position, but from their standpoint, if you don't give this gift, they will be uneasy, if Your Highness doesn't accept it, then they will be even more panicked, which is very unfavorable to Your Highness." ”

Zhao Huan frowned and said: "Li Qi, you seem to have something to say, there is no one else here, you have something to say." After a series of contacts, he trusted Li Qi more and more, and as soon as there was a stir, he asked Li Qi to enter the palace to negotiate, and the relationship between the two was getting better and better.

Li Qi also sat back and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the ministers who gave these gifts alone may account for half of the court, although Your Highness is now in a prominent position, but in case it causes them to be frightened and forced to stand on the same front, this is particularly unfavorable to Your Highness, especially the British Duke, I believe Your Highness also knows that the British Duke is deeply favored by the emperor, and he is with the emperor, and his status is very special, which is also beyond my reach with the Taishi, so His Royal Highness cannot be his enemy for the time being, His Royal Highness not only could not refuse, but also expressed great pleasure. ”

Zhao Huan also calmed down at this time, nodded and said, "What you said also makes some sense, but you and the British duke-?" ”

Li Qi said: "I and the British Duke are indeed incompatible, but this has nothing to do with Your Highness, Your Highness can be friendly with him, if you can get the support of the British Prince, Your Highness's status will be no one can shake it, the court can be replaced by a moment of calm, and it is also very beneficial to the change of the lower officials, Your Highness should focus on the overall situation, as for me and the British Princess, I prefer to deal with it privately, do not affect the government." ”

Zhao Huan nodded frequently when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes!" You're right, I should focus on the overall situation, but I really don't like these things. ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Why don't Your Highness borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Zhao Huan was stunned and said: "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha? ”

Li Qi said: "Your Highness also said that most of these things are scraped up, in other words, it is taken from the people, in this case, Your Highness will help them do good deeds, use them for the people, and donate these to charitable foundations, so that Your Highness can't help but not worry about these things, and there are also many refugees, which is also of great benefit to His Highness's reputation." ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Zhao Huan called three wonders in a row, and haha: "Li Qi, your idea is really wonderful, a good one to take from the people and use it for the people, just do what you say." Someone! ”

"What does Your Highness command?"

"Pack these things up right away and donate them all to a charity foundation later."

"I wonder which charitable foundation Your Highness wants to donate to?"

Zhao Huan was stunned by this question, and said, "Which other charitable foundation?" ”

Li Qi sneered and said, "Has Your Highness forgotten that there is also the Qingtian Charity Foundation established in Gao Yanei." ”

Zhao Huan patted his head and said, "That's right, that's right, I almost forgot." As he spoke, he said, "Anyway, it's not the Qingtian Charity Foundation." ”

"Yes. The villain understood. ”

After those people moved these gifts away, Zhao Huan said: "Li Qi, with your help, I am really like a tiger." ”

"The prince has won the prize."

Zhao Huan waved his hand, and suddenly said: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell you, the Ying Feng Bureau has just been abolished for less than a few days, and I heard that someone made a statement to my father that the Ying Feng Bureau should not be abolished." ”

Li Qi was surprised: "So fast? Could it be the British duke? ”

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "This remark comes from the harem. ”

Those mothers-in-law are poor and crazy. Li Qi was furious in his heart, but he said: "What does the emperor mean? ”

"My father doesn't seem to be shaken, but this is always a hidden danger." Zhao Huan frowned.

Li Qi nodded and said, "Your Highness is right, so something is needed to replace Ying Fengju." ”

"Replace the Bureau? What to replace? ”

"Armament Supervisor."

"Armament Supervisor?"

Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, the envoys of various countries will definitely come to Bianjing during the New Year, this is our opportunity, as long as the ordnance supervisor makes money, the emperor will gradually forget about the situation." ”

Zhao Huan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "It's still a little inappropriate, what my father likes is not the strings of copper coins, but strange stones and strange flowers and trees, etc." ”

Li Qi smiled: "I know this, but as long as there is money, it will be easy to do, the so-called strange stones, strange flowers and trees are just luxury goods in the commodity, and the storage of luxury goods also has its reason." Once the economy of our Great Song Dynasty recovers, there will definitely be people who think of this benefit, and then there will only be an endless stream of luxury goods from Jiangnan to Bianjing, but this is different from Ying Feng Bureau, which is acting on orders, then the latter is a private sale, which is a legal transaction. For example, if Ying Fengju took a fancy to a certain piece of strange stone, according to their previous practice, they would not be able to hold them responsible for the houses, bridges, and even palace walls that were damaged along the way. But if it is done by private individuals, they must take these factors into account, and will come up with the most reasonable and legal way to transport the stones, and if he destroys the houses of the people, then it is illegal and should be compensated. When these luxury goods were shipped to Bianjing, the emperor could buy them from merchants, which not only saved the state's expenditure, but also reduced the harm to the people, and also stimulated consumption for a certain extent. ”

Zhao Huan listened to Li Qi very patiently, and then groaned for a while, before he said, "Hmm." In any case, this is much better than Ying Fengju, but you are sure that the Arms Warden will definitely make a lot of money. ”

"Of course it's for sure. Moreover, Your Highness, you can apply for this position from the Emperor and participate in the arms trade on behalf of the Emperor. Li Qi smiled slightly. In doing so, he is actually preventing Sansi and Cai You, and the most important thing is Cai You. Because if the arms business is really made in the future, then Song Huizong will definitely send someone to participate as his representative, after all, this is an arms deal, no matter how faint Song Huizong is, it is impossible to completely let Li Qi be the master, and Cai You is a privy envoy, he wants to participate, and the reason is more sufficient, rather than letting Cai You take advantage of it, it is better to let Xingge's weak prince participate, in that case, he can control the situation.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he immediately understood the stakes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "But my father may not agree?" ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Your Highness will go, the emperor will definitely agree, because His Royal Highness is the most suitable candidate." ”

At this point, how could Zhao Huan not know, and said, "Okay! Then I'll give it a try. Hehe, Li Qi, you think about being one step faster than others, I'm not wrong. ”

"Where, where, Your Highness has won the prize."

．

After fooling the prince, Li Qi left the East Palace, and it was almost evening, so he didn't go to the company again, and went back to the Qin Mansion directly.

"Wow! What the? Am I back in the East Palace? ”

When Li Qi came to the back hall and saw the room full of gifts, he jumped back in fright, covered his mouth with his hands and said in horror.

At this time, there was still a big beauty and a temperament beauty sitting in the room, it was Mrs. Qin and Li Qingzhao.

"You're finally back, look at what you've done." Mrs. Qin glared at Li Qidao slightly.

Li Qi was confused, and said with both hands: "I said madam, I have really done a lot of good things, I don't know which one you are talking about?" ”

Li Qingzhao smiled slightly, pointed his hand towards those gifts, and said, "That's this good thing." ”

"Sister Qingzhao, who sent these gifts?" Li Qi's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he grinned: "Isn't it the dowry gift given to his wife by the rich man?" ”

"Richie. What nonsense are you talking about? Mrs. Qin immediately shouted, and her chest was turbulent again.

Li Qingzhao also glanced at Li Qi and said, "These are all given to you by others." ”

"For me?" Li Qi hurriedly asked, "Male or female?" ”

What is this man thinking about all the time? Mrs. Qin snorted, "How is the man?" What about women? ”

"If it's a man, it's about my career, if it's a woman, it's about my appearance! So I'm going to have a different response. Li Qi said he.

Shameless!

Mrs. Qin's angry face turned away and she couldn't make a sound.

Li Qingzhao was used to it, and said with a smile: "The former." ”

Li Qi sighed and said lightly: "It turned out that he came to slap me." ”

"You seem disappointed?"

Mrs. Qin looked at Li Qi with a lost look on her face and snorted.

"It's a little bit, but now that I think about it, I'm not disappointed, I've been messing around for so long and finally someone gave me a gift, Mom, it's not easy to think about it." Li Qi sighed.

Mrs. Qin was shocked and said, "Don't you still want to accept it." "It is conceivable how much guilt it must be for a conservative woman like Mrs. Qin to accept bribes.

"Isn't that possible?"

"Of course not, this is ill-gotten gains, how can you collect it, do you still lack this money?" Mrs. Qin affirmed.

"Not lacking it." Li Qi shook his head and said, "But madam, since you know that this is ill-gotten gains, why do you want to stay, why didn't you refuse at that time?" ”

Mrs. Qin snorted: "You said I didn't, I don't know how much I helped you refuse." ”

"What!"

Li Qi exclaimed in surprise and said, "No-I don't know how many refusals-how much?" Dare to love this is not the first time? Madam, how can you do this, people give me gifts, it is out of a heart, why do you decide for me, and you don't tell me, this thing is really done. ”

Mrs. Qin said incredulously: "You still blame me? Do you think I want to do this? I'm almost annoyed by this. Do you know that you are accepting bribes, knowing the law and breaking the law, and besides, I want to tell you too, but you always come back in the middle of the night, how can I have a chance? ”

"That's not a reason." Li Qi glanced at Mrs. Qin resentfully, and said: "And this is not accepting bribes, the key to bribery is that there is a request and a response, it is a two-way street, but I only accept gifts and do not do things, then it can't mean bribery, Sister Qingzhao, am I wrong?" ”

This person is really different, and even corruption can be justified. Li Qingzhao nodded helplessly and said, "What you said makes sense, but this is not a gentleman's doing." ”

"I'm a businessman."

"That's—well."

Since the incident of Cai Yu last time, Mrs. Qin has already been a frightened bird, and it is really the first time she has met such a bold person as Li Qi, and she hurriedly said: "This is not good, you have caused enough trouble now, how can you still accept these gifts, in case it is known, I am afraid that you will have to enter Kaifeng Mansion again." ”

This lady, without saying a word of kindness, cursed me to go to jail when she came out, it was really poisonous. Li Qi said: "Madam, since you have already helped me block so many gifts, why did you let them come in again this time." ”

"I can't help it, those people today said in a unified voice, please help them donate these gifts to the charitable foundation, but they want to donate these things to the charitable foundation, it is clearly to donate to you." The more Mrs. Qin spoke, the more annoyed she felt.

"Oh, I see."

Li Qi smiled, picked up a roll of silk at random, looked at it, and said, "This thing is really good." "But I said in my heart, my mother is a bastard, if you send the prince, you will send jade Ruyi, and if you send me, you will send cloth rolls, I look down on people too much.

This man is insatiable. Mrs. Qin really couldn't stand it anymore, and just as she was having a seizure, Li Qingzhao suddenly glanced at her and asked her to calm down.

Li Qi secretly glanced at Mrs. Qin with his spare eyes, secretly laughed twice, and then grinned at Li Qingzhao: "Sister Qingzhao, you have always been resourceful, what do you say should be done with these gifts?" ”

"In front of you, I don't dare to call it resourceful, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into such a miserable situation in the first place." Li Qingzhao shook his head and said: "But I think there are three kinds of gifts, one is the exchange of gifts between relatives and friends, the other is to ask people to do things, for you, that is, bribery, the third is to spend money to buy a peace of mind, I believe that these gift-givers belong to the third type, so this gift can be received or not." ”

Li Qi nodded hurriedly and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense, but is it to accept it or not?" ”

Li Qingzhao said: "It's all right!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"If you don't accept it, then it's a matter of course, if you want to collect it, then how they send it, you can collect it."

Mrs. Qin's eyebrows furrowed lightly: "What does my sister mean, don't you really donate these gifts to the charity foundation?" ”

Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Not bad." They didn't want to ask Li Qi to do anything, otherwise they would have thrown down the gift and left, they just wanted to feel at ease, or they wanted to slap Li Qi. Since they have found an excuse that even his sister can't stop, then Li Qi can push the boat down the river, exchange these gifts into money, and then donate them to those refugees, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, or someone will really pursue it at that time, and Li Qi also has a valid reason, so it is okay to accept it or not. ”

Li Qi smiled: "Then which approach does Sister Qingzhao prefer?" ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, it's better for you to sit down and decide by yourself, I thought it was enough to just have a clear conscience." ”

"Sister Qingzhao still understands me." Li Qi smiled, and then stretched his face and said to Mrs. Qin: "I said madam, why didn't you learn a little bit when you stayed with Sister Qingzhao all the time?" ”

Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes and snorted: "Okay, even if what my sister said is right, but even if this is not ill-gotten gains, then you will get it for nothing, do you receive it with peace of mind, how can you have a clear conscience?" ”

Li Qi shrugged and said: "It seems that you still haven't heard Sister Qingzhao's words clearly, this is not for nothing, I am their reassurance, they give gifts for peace of mind, if I accept it, they can rest assured, this is also a deal." ”

"If that's the case, it's a crime of bribery."

“！” Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Then according to Madame's wishes, how should we deal with it?" ”

"If I had known, I would have kept those people out."

Li Qi shook his head helplessly, and said to Li Qingzhao again: "Sister Qingzhao, you can help me persuade you." ”

Li Qingzhao sighed lightly and said: "Sister, sister knows what you are worried about, but I thought you were worrying about the sky, if he would listen to you, he would have listened to it a long time ago, and he would never wait until today, he has been persuaded repeatedly, why should you be sad about this." ”

Mrs. Qin nodded, and said helplessly: "What my sister said makes sense, but now that the thousands of people in the Drunken Immortal Residence are all tied to him alone, if he is allowed to go, if something happens, it will be difficult for me to atone for my sins even if I die." ”

Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "So far, worrying is useless. You, if you can't bear it, you can simply break off the relationship with him, with his current status, if you want to retreat, you must not be able to retreat, and you can only keep working hard to climb up. ”

"I'm not worried about myself, I'm just afraid that it will affect other people." Mrs. Qin shook her head and sighed lightly, and said, "But, sister, I really didn't expect these words to come out of your mouth." ”

Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "It seems that the impact of my incident on my sister back then was really not small." ”

Li Qi said hehehehe: "Sister Qingzhao, what you said is right. ”

Mrs. Qin's eyes widened.

Li Qi raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it, you say." ”

Li Qingzhao smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, in fact, you only see one side of the matter, if you want to say those things back then, I complain about people, not things, since I was born in such a family, then I should be prepared, I have no regrets, but if you want to avoid this kind of thing, the only way is for you to become a winner, but if my father won back then, then there will still be another Li Qingzhao, but things can't be avoided." ”

Mrs. Qin said: "That's not true, in fact, there is another way." ”

Li Qingzhao naturally knew what Mrs. Qin meant, so she simply didn't want to be an official, and shook her head: "I know that you have never liked to fight with others, but in fact, I don't like it even more." But I think this is an extremely selfish idea, the ancients said well, men should fight on the battlefield, make meritorious contributions, you have the ability to benefit the common people, if you don't stand up, that is sorry for the world. Since ancient times, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, which dynasty has not had these so-called party struggles, the same is true, why was the Han Wen Emperor and Tang Taizong so prosperous, was there no such intrigue in the court at that time? I don't think so. But why Tang Xuanhuang, Emperor Han Ling, the country has become a thousand holes, unbearable, it can be seen that the existence of intrigue is not a mistake, but an inevitable result, it also has good and bad sides, I think only by constantly thinking, quarrelling, competition, the country can still get progress, so the key is still people. A country must have someone to stand up and take on this responsibility, if everyone thinks like you, just because they are afraid of the intrigue between the DPRK and China, hide at home, and then the country will not be the country, how can they speak home. Yes, I also mislooked Li Qi before, thinking that he was a wrong choice to be an official, but now it seems that I was wrong, which thing he did was not to benefit the country and the people, it was precisely because of his survival that he saved thousands of people, if he listened to you and resigned from the office, although you are worthy of the thousands of people in the drunken immortal residence, but you are ashamed of the people of the world. ”

Confidant, absolute confidant. Li Qi heard it with tears in his eyes, he didn't expect that it was Li Qingzhao who knew him best, and said excitedly: "Well said, well said, Sister Qingzhao, what you said is really good, I love you so much." ”

"Y-what did you say?" Li Qingzhao was stunned, and then frowned and said angrily.

Sweat! Why do I always talk nonsense when I meet Sister Qingzhao. Li Qi himself was also very distressed, and hurriedly changed his words: "Oh no, no, no, worship, I worship you so much, I am really the parents of the one who gave birth to me, and the sister Qingzhao of the one who knows me." With your words, Sister Qingzhao, I really die without regrets. ”

Li Qingzhao didn't care about Li Qi's old mistake again, but his eyes glanced at Mrs. Qin, and when he saw that his expression was gloomy, he hurriedly said: "Sister, my sister said something serious, don't take it to heart." ”

Mrs. Qin was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, no, what my sister said is very right, in fact, when I think about it, I have always been too selfish." ”

"No, no." Li Qi shook his head and said: "Madam, you are not wrong, selfishness is everyone's heavenly xing, even saints are selfish, your selfishness just doesn't want all the people in the Drunken Immortal Residence to be harmed, this is a kind of respectable selfishness, this intention we have always kept in mind, but after all, you and I have different positions and different pursuits, so I'm sorry, I haven't listened to you in this matter, and it will still be the case in the future, I respect your persistence, and I hope you can forgive my persistence." ”

In fact, what Li Qingzhao said must be right, then it is not, because Mrs. Qin belongs to that kind of typical woman, she has all the advantages and disadvantages of a woman, she just doesn't want everyone around her to be harmed, as for any military affairs, she won't care much. The same is true of women in general. But Li Qingzhao belongs to the other among women, she has ambitions, whether it is talent or knowledge, she is not weaker than men, so the two are two completely different women, and their considerations are naturally different, if you have to talk about right and wrong, it is unfair to both of them.

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Qi with incredulity, and said, "Li Qi, I've known you for so long, but it's the first time I've heard you talk about it." ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "I have known you for so long, Madame, I have long found that you are both kind and beautiful." ”

"I take back that sentence." Mrs. Qin's face flushed and said lightly.

Li Qingzhao shook his head with a smile and said, "Then what are you going to do with these gifts?" ”

Li Qi said hehehehe: "Sister Qingzhao, what you said is so good, of course I listen to you." ”

Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "You have known your sister for so long, she can't change any of your minds, how can you listen to me, you must have planned to do so a long time ago." ”

"This is different, Qingzhao's sister's earnest teachings, how dare Li Qi not listen."

"Okay, I hope you can help me take revenge on the Grand Master."

"Huh? Belch. Li Qi scratched his head and said, "This--this shouldn't be regarded as a sincere teaching, right?" ”

Li Qingzhao chuckled and said: "I'm just talking casually, even if you agree, I don't dare to let you do this, the past is in the past, although I hate the Taishi, but I never thought of revenge, because it will only hurt more people." ”

"That's a good point." Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and asked, "By the way, Sister Qingzhao, won't you go back for the Chinese New Year this year?" Those ancient paintings of gold and stone can't run, you can come back after the New Year. ”

Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, a few days ago, I sent a letter to my husband, he has made an appointment with a few friends to come to the capital to meet, and it is estimated that he is now on the way." However, speaking of these ancient paintings of gold and stone, I think of one thing, if you have a quarrel like this with His Royal Highness King Yun, will he. ”

"Absolutely not." Li Qi interrupted Li Qingzhao's words and said: "Sister Qingzhao can rest assured that this person is proud, King Yun is proud, how can the things sent out be taken back, you just take a look at it slowly, and next year, we will auction some of it first." ”

"That's fine." (To be continued.) )
