Li Yanqing finally declined Zhao Kai's heavy thanks, he saved the emperor out of instinct, no matter who the other party was, he would come to the rescue, Zhao Kai chatted with him a few more words, and then got up and said goodbye. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the outbreak of the Tiger Incident, the bonfire banquet scheduled for the evening was also canceled, the hunting trip became boring, the guards set up a fire at the door of the tent to barbecue, drink and chat, Li Yanqing sat in the tent and read a book, at this time, he smelled a tempting aroma of meat, and before he could get up, the voice of the maid came from outside the door, "Shaojun, dinner is here!" ”

"Please come in!"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, I saw two palace maids walking in with food plates, on the plate were several large pieces of roasted golden venison, and on the other plate was a pot of wine and a large plate of fresh fruit, the two palace maids put the food plate on the table, saluted and smiled: "This is the dinner that the emperor gave to Shaojun, I hope Shaojun has a good appetite!" ”

Li Yanqing thought it was a dinner sent by Zhao Kai, but he didn't expect it to be sent by Emperor Ji, which really surprised him, and he asked with concern: "How is the situation of Emperor Ji?" ”

"Emperor Ji has not fully recovered from the shock, and her mood is a little low, we are all grateful to Shaojun for saving Emperor Ji!"

The two palace maids once again gave Li Yanqing a blessing, they were sincerely grateful, once the emperor had an accident, both the guards who protected her and the palace maids who served her would suffer, and it was also the emperor who was unharmed, so that they escaped.

Li Yanqing waved his hand and smiled: "No need to be polite, please tell the emperor, eat well, sleep sweetly, and your mood will be better tomorrow morning, and don't think of the tiger too scary, it will be comfortable to think of it as a big cat." ”

"Thank you Shaojun, we will definitely go back and tell you."

The two palace maids said goodbye and left, Li Yanqing sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, but as soon as he lifted the wine jug, he found that there was a folded note pressed under the wine jug, he was curious, and hurriedly put down the wine jug and picked up the note and opened it, and a line of small characters was written on the note, 'You don't have to change your name!' ’

Li Yanqing suddenly laughed dumbly.

........

At night, what the maid was worried about did not happen, although she slept with Li Yanqing in the same tent, but this young man has always done nothing to her, when she woke up, only to find that she was the only one in the big tent, and the person in the same tent had disappeared, so frightened that she hurriedly got up and walked out of the big tent, but only to see Li Yanqing riding a horse and carrying a bow from a distance, running to the front of the tent, Li Yanqing smiled at her: "Clean up!" I just got the notice, and I will leave for Beijing in half a time. ”

"Does the young gentleman want the little maid to comb her hair?" The maid asked, a little embarrassed.

"No need, I live in Taixue, I'm used to combing my hair by myself, you groom yourself, I'll go and practice archery with the guards, and when you go back by yourself later, you don't need to ask me again."

After speaking, Li Yanqing turned his horse's head and ran into the distance, and the maid looked at him away, with an indescribable loss in her heart, but she also knew that this young man was rejecting herself from beginning to end, so she could only sigh low and go back to the account to clean up.

Half an hour later, the hunting team began to set off to return to Beijing, there were only more than 20 people when they came, but there were more than 100 people when they returned, and there were several more carriages and donkey carts, Li Yanqing found that there was one less person in the team, he urged the horse to step forward and asked Cao Sheng in a low voice: "Brother Cao, why don't you see Cai Yanei?" ”

"Last night his father sent a family member to look for him, and he went straight back, he was not at his best, and the roots of the emperor's ears were much quieter."

It turned out that Cai Jing had already gone back, which was a bit unexpected by Li Yanqing, but he could also understand that Cai Jing must be eager to understand Zhao Kai's attitude, Cai Jing is worthy of being an old politician, and he smelled the important information contained in this matter so quickly.

At this time, Cao Sheng asked with a smile: "Everyone is full of praise for Brother Xian's archery, is Brother Xian interested in participating in this year's Bow and Horse Conference?" ”

This was the second time Li Yanqing had heard the news of the Bow Horse Conference, which really made him interested, so he asked with a smile: "I don't know what are the conditions for participating in the Bow Horse Conference?" ”

"There are no conditions, but someone needs to recommend it, if it is a state or county civilian to participate, it needs to be recommended by the local government, and the people of Kaifeng Mansion also need to be recommended by the county government to participate, not to mention the army."

"What about the students?"

"Taixue is recommended by the school, martial arts, Guozixue is the same, but Taixue is not very keen on this matter, no one participated in the last Taixue, if the virtuous brother is interested in participating, I can help with the recommended things, it does not have to be recommended by Taixue, it can also be recommended by Kaifeng County, how about it, is the virtuous brother interested?"

Li Yanqing thought about it and agreed, "Then it's troublesome Brother Cao!" ”

"It's a small thing, I'll participate in it then, and I wish both of us good results!"

The two laughed together.

At this time, a guard rushed forward and hugged his fist at Li Yanqing and said, "Emperor Ji, please ask Shaojun to come over." ”

"Good! I'll go. ”

Li Yanqing said sorry to Cao Sheng, then turned his horse's head and ran towards several carriages behind the team.

"Several of our brothers are grateful to Shaojun!" Finding an opportunity, the guard whispered to Li Yanqing to express his gratitude, if it wasn't for Li Yanqing saving the emperor, the four of them would not have thought of living.

Li Yanqing smiled and asked, "May I ask the eldest brother of the guard, your surname?" ”

"In Xia Liu Kang, a native of the capital, if Shaojun has any needs in the future, please feel free to ask, we all have some connections in the capital, and we will definitely try our best to help."

"Then thank you Brother Liu in advance!"

There are many ways to have many friends, Li Yanqing has always liked to make friends, and he pays attention to connections in Bianjing, maybe one day he will really have something to ask the guards for help.

Li Yanqing followed Liu Kang to a gorgeous carriage, and the guards stepped forward to report: "Emperor Qiqi, Li Shaojun is here." ”

After the report, the guards all instinctively left, leaving Li Yanqing in front of the carriage.

There was a thick curtain hanging on the car window, and I couldn't see the situation in the window, I saw Zhao Fujin whispering in the car: "Li Shaojun told me, eat a good meal, sleep sweetly, and get up in the morning to get up in a better mood, I listened to your words and did so, but the mood is still not good, what do you say?" ”

"This.... This is just my personal experience, maybe Teki is more sensitive and needs to rest for a few more days. ”

"Oh well! I'll rest for a few more days, and if I'm still in a bad mood, I'll have to settle accounts with you. ”

Li Yanqing had to smile bitterly, and at this time, Zhao Fujin said again: "Brother Huang hopes that I don't tell my father about the distress, I don't know whether to say it or not, Li Shaojun will make an idea for me!" ”

"If Emperor Ji says it, I'm afraid the guards will be heavily punished!"

"I don't care if they live or die, I only ask your attitude."

"Personally, I would like to see the Emperor remain silent."

"Don't you want my father to be grateful to you?"

"There are some things that Li Yanqing can't afford!"

There was silence in the carriage, and after a while, Zhao Fujin whispered, "Okay! I'll listen to your opinion on this matter, and I won't mention it when I return to the palace. ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"

"Li Shaojun go first! I'm a little sleepy and want to rest for a while. ”

"Deji have a good rest!"

Li Yanqing turned his horse's head and ran forward, at this time, the curtain of the car quietly opened a slit, and a pair of bright eyes quietly watched Li Yanqing's back go away.

After a short time, the team crossed the Huiming River Bridge, the official road became very flat, and the team accelerated and rushed towards Bianjing.

........

On the north bank of the Bianhe River in the inner city, there is an extremely magnificent mansion covering an area of more than 100 acres, which is the famous Cai Xiangfu in Bianjing, the mansion of Cai Jing of Xiangguo.

Cai Jing is seventy years old this year, from the outside, he is a generous elder, with a pair of slightly joyful eight-character eyebrows, thick and droopy cheeks, a huge nose, a high nose bridge, like a mountain entrenched in the center of the face, the old eyes always show a gentle smile, it is easy to make people feel good, trust him.

Cai Jing was especially kind to the scholars and young officials, striving for the greatest welfare for the students, and raising the salaries of the young officials, so he was deeply loved by the young officials and scholars.

But those who know Cai Jing know that he treats young officials well only because young officials do not threaten his position, and at the same time he has gained a good reputation.

But once someone threatens his interests, his generosity will be gone, and he will become ruthless, until he kills the other party, and he will not give up.

After two dynasties, several ups and downs, it stands to reason that Cai Jing should have seen through the impermanence of the world and was indifferent to fame and fortune, but in fact, Cai Jing's desire for power became more blazing as he got older, especially when he also met a son of heaven who was addicted to calligraphy and painting all day long, and did not think about the government

Cai Jing does one thing every day: he looks at everyone inside and outside the court with his eagle-like old and deep eyes, Xiangquan is like a concubine in his inner room, no one is allowed to touch it, once there is a minister who threatens his phase, he will not hesitate to eradicate it.

Correspondingly, it is to cultivate his own successor, ability and talent are not too important, the important thing is loyalty, only in this way, when he Cai Jing is a hundred years old, the interests of his family and descendants can continue to be safeguarded.

In addition to observing the hundreds of officials and bureaucrats, Cai Jing also paid special attention to the movements of the official Zhao Ji, and placed his own eyeliner in the palace.

Recently, Cai Jing discovered that Zhao Ji often lost his temper with the prince for no reason, and found that he began to be obsessed with the Taoist art of immortality, and even began to consider his 100-year-old court ceremony with great interest.

So..... How to vote for the Son of Heaven has become something that Cai Jing has been thinking about for a long time.

This morning, he just listened to his son Cai Ying's report, Zhao Kai is not very interested in going to Jiangnan, which makes him a little disappointed, is Zhao Kai pretending to be confused, or does he really not understand the mystery behind this? Cai Jing felt the need for people to hint at Zhao Kai behind his back.

At this time, someone reported outside the door of the study: "The big yaman is here!" ”

Inside the Daya is Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You, who is currently a scholar of Xuanhe Palace, Cai Jing nodded, "Let him in!" ”
