Li Qi has always been resolute in doing business, as long as he sees it, he will immediately take action. Two days later, he selected five teenagers from Taishi Academy to go to Weiweixuan to be Liu Yunxi's apprentices.

There is really no shortage of people these days, as long as you give food to eat, a lot of people are at your disposal.

However, this is only a real stage, and Li Qi plans to directly invite Liu Yunxi to teach cooking at Taishi Academy if the effect is good.

The hot weather has finally passed, and the heavy rain of yesterday evening has made the sun more pure and brighter today. At this time, Li Qi was walking in the backyard of the Qin Mansion with the mother-in-law who still had charm.

"Mother-in-law, I'm really sorry, I have to bother you to pick up the red slave in person." Li Qi smiled apologetically.

Mrs. Bai smiled slightly, and said: "Hongnu, this child is cute, I have long regarded it as my daughter, in fact, she used to come to live in Qinfu, I couldn't sleep well, originally her two aunts came, I was relieved a lot, but now her two aunts have gone back, and you are often not at home, and Sanniang, she only knows how to plant flowers and read, she doesn't know these things at all, or go to live with me." ”

It turned out that Ji Hongnu's two aunts had been out for many days, and they were a little homesick, and the kind-hearted Ji Hongnu soon found out about this, so he discussed with Li Qi and asked them to go back, Li Qi thought that before and after Ji Hongnu gave birth, her two aunts would definitely come over to help, after the child was born, they needed help more, and they would definitely not be able to leave, so it was okay to let them go back now, so they agreed.

Li Qi nodded with a smile and said: "What my mother-in-law said is really right, this Mrs. Qin is really weird, a woman, she doesn't understand these things at all, she can't take care of her family, she doesn't care about business, and I have to pick and choose, I really can't help at all." ”

Madame Bai snorted: "You don't use the topic to play. Sanniang, she has never given birth to a child, how can she understand this, as for doing business, are you embarrassed to let her always go out and show her face. ”

Saying that, she sighed again and said, "Actually, Sanniang is also a poor child, if you don't live here and be able to talk to her, don't let her stay at home alone, otherwise I would have let you move out a long time ago, after all, it will cause a lot of gossip." ”

What gossip? Why didn't anyone believe in my self-control, or did they blindly worship Madame Qin's charm? But. I'm also unlikely to trust a man with four of himself. Li Qi smiled: "Mother-in-law is reasonable, I think the same way, in fact, it's okay, I'm very busy, often not at home, those gossips are all rumors that someone is wantonly spreading." ”

Madame Bai said angrily: "You are very busy? I really don't see this, it's amazing that you can go to the morning pilgrimage four times a month. Every time the old man of my family comes back from the court, he has to say a few words to you. ”

"Say what do you say to me?"

"What else could there be? It doesn't mean you're lazy. Madame Bai said with a blank look.

It's not that I'm lazy. It's really inhumane in this early morning, especially for me, a chef from later generations, I usually only go to work at noon. Li Qi laughed a few times and said, "This old man really misunderstood me. Actually, I really want to go to the early court, but every time I go to the morning court, there are always people who see me unhappy and have to pull me out to compete. It's so noisy that everyone can't even talk about business, and if I don't go to the early court, it's for the country and the people, even so. I still have to be talked about, but I'm actually quite stressed. ”

Madame Bai giggled when she heard this, and said, "You, you, I'm used to it." But then again, I don't want you to go to the morning court either. ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'll just say, the parents of the person who gave birth to me, and the mother-in-law of the person who knows me." ”

"You don't give me a sycophant, I don't eat your set."

Madame Bai glanced at Li Qi slightly, and then said, "Actually, it is a miracle that you can survive Chaozhong." ”

Li Qi sighed and hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

Madame Bai said: "You are already a member of the three grades at a young age, and more importantly, the power you hold in your hands now is not small, the three ya, the ordnance superintendent, the commerce bureau, but there is a new law to protect you, you can be ranked with the prime minister, the three divisions, and the subordinate provinces." The greater the power, the more dangerous it is, and you should understand that. If this situation occurred in the past, it means that this person is not far from Xiaye, Wang Anshi is not as powerful as you, but he has been attacked by the Manchu Dynasty. Although they have some things to rely on you, they will never allow anyone who can endanger their position to exist, this is something that everyone in their position will consider. ”

The more Li Qi listened, his face became more and more solemn, he put away his smiling face, and humbly asked: "Mother-in-law's words are reasonable, then wouldn't I be very dangerous?" ”

Madame Bai smiled, "Since you had a conflict with Wang Hao, when have you been safe?" ”

Li Qi smiled wryly, but did not answer.

Madame Bai said, "That's why I said that it is a miracle that you were able to survive." The reason why you are able to do it left and right is because there is one thing that you do very well, I wonder if you have noticed it yourself? ”

Li Qi shook his head in dismay.

Madame Bai said: "That is, you will always be a loner, and you have never cultivated your own power in the court, which is the fundamental reason for your survival." The reason why there have been partisan disputes in all dynasties is because if you want to consolidate your position in the court, or if you want to have more power, you must develop your own power and gain the support of more people, and if you don't have the support of other people, even if you are Dazai, it will be difficult to move an inch, so partisan disputes are inevitable. ”

Li Qi frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "You mean that the reason why they are relieved of me is because I can't pose any threat to them?" ”

"Clever." Madam Bai nodded and said: "You are from a humble background and do not have any power, you cannot pose a threat to anyone, and they can take back the power in your hands at any time." Although you won a big victory this time, it was all because of the emperor and Taishi Cai who secretly helped each other, if not, you would definitely be in a different place because of this, so to tell you, if Taishi Cai is the initiator of the change, he will definitely fail, because if he succeeds, then the power in his hands will swell enough to make anyone so frightened that they can sleep uneasy. Including that person, for that person, he is always doing the same thing, that is, balancing the forces of all sides. But you are different, you have to rely on a lot of people to help, but at the same time, those people are not headed by you, but you are just their pawn, and you are not a pawn of a certain force, since you are a pawn, no matter how strong your own ability is. That can be eliminated at any time, so don't worry, but this is the first time this situation has appeared in the government and the opposition, so you must not be careless. ”

Li Qi snorted and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Madame Bai said: "Don't think about cultivating your power in the court. Originally, the emergence of the new law was an opportunity for you, but if you can give up, then your new law will be more stable. Because the more they are at ease with you, the more they will spare no effort to help you, and the emperor will favor you more. You have to remember one thing, on the battlefield. A general is always safer than a soldier, but in the DPRK, it is far safer to be a soldier than a general, because most generals die at the hands of their own people. ”

That's it. Her meaning is already very obvious, that is, to remind Richie not to be complacent and not to let himself be tempted by victory. Let it drive itself to gain more power. Although Li Qi's mind has exceeded everyone's expectations, but he is young after all, and being young means that he will be easily tempted, especially for Li Qi, he faces many times more temptations than his peers, so Mrs. Bai's reminder is very important and necessary. On the other hand, that is, she finally regarded Li Qi as her own, and if that decree had not been given, she might not have said this to you.

And Mrs. Bai is different from Zhao Jingyan, Zhao Jingyan gave Li Qi the idea that she wants to become the kind of person like Wang Huang who is above 10,000 people under one person, and only with supreme power can she be as solid as a rock and invincible. Madame Bai, on the other hand, is more conservative, and she still hopes that Li Qi will still put her own safety first, because power is often accompanied by danger.

Both of them have a lot of truth in what they say. Li Qi naturally accepted all the orders, and Mrs. Bai's words really reminded him that the authorities were fascinated, he could not be exhaustive, and he also had a new understanding of his own situation, I have to say that Mrs. Bai's Jian Yiyi helped him a lot, and said with a smile: "You said earlier that you don't want me to go to the morning court, just to prevent me from getting too close to other ministers." ”

Madame Bai nodded and said: "In the court, many times you can't help yourself, you are now in full swing, there will definitely be many ministers to come to talk to you, in the words of your merchants, it is called a strange commodity to live in, once you are affected by them, then you will definitely fall into the party struggle, at that time, you have no way out, you think every day is how to eradicate political enemies, as for the new law, it will also become a big knife in your hand, as for who will be cut in the end, it is unknown, but you must be the first knife." ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Mother-in-law's golden and jade good words, my son-in-law should keep it in mind." ”

Madame Bai smiled lightly and said, "Actually, your mind has surpassed your peers much, but sometimes the authorities are confused, so you don't think I'm verbose." ”

Li Qi said: "What's the matter, I love to talk to my mother-in-law the most." ”

"Really? I'll believe you for a moment. Madame White chuckled.

At this moment, Aunt Chen suddenly walked over and said, "Madam, my lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince of Western Xia are here." ”

Madame Bai sighed and said, "By the way, the prince of Xixia had already arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday. ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes, but since Xixia has already declared himself a vassal to the Jin State, the emperor did not receive him, but asked the prince to receive him." ”

Madame Bai glanced at Li Qi slightly, and said with a smile: "Your face is really big enough, you dare to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to the door, and to be an official to achieve your level, it is really unparalleled." ”

Li Qi said: "My mother-in-law has won the award, how dare I let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to the door, but he Richard has a request for me now, of course he came to me, did I send it to the door and let him beg, that would be too bullying." ”

This man is really cunning enough. Madame Bai gave him a blank look and said, "In that case, you don't want to disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Of course not, even for the sake of my father-in-law, I will desperately make Richard satisfied." ”

"What is for the old man, this is what you picked out, what does it have to do with my Bai family."

Li Qi said aggrievedly: "As the son-in-law of the Bai family, it doesn't matter if I am the son-in-law. ”

Madame Bai was stunned when she heard this, then she sneered and scolded with a smile: "You don't talk nonsense here, go quickly, don't let the prince wait for a long time, I will go to the back door with the red slave later, so I won't bother you." ”
