After looking at the house, Li Yanqing chartered an ox cart to return to Hongqiao, and the ox cart had just arrived in Hongqiao, but he saw his father Li Daqi anxiously asking Mo Jun what was going on at the door of the inn?

Li Yanqing hurriedly asked, "Is Daddy looking for me?" ”

Li Daqi turned around suddenly, and finally saw his son, and hurriedly ran forward and complained: "It's almost going to kill me, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to find Zheng Xiaopang, what's the urgency of my father?"

"What else is there to rush?"

Li Daqi stepped forward and whispered: "Mrs. Liang sent someone to look for you, I have been looking for you twice in a row, you should go quickly!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Then I'll go now." ”

"Remember, don't talk nonsense, he's not an ordinary person." Li Daqi instructed his son uneasily.

"Daddy, don't worry! I know what to expect. ”

Li Yanqing immediately turned around the ox cart and went to Mrs. Liang's mansion, looking at the ox cart in the distance, Li Daqi said to Mo Jun worriedly: "Mrs. Liang is so anxious to find him, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?" ”

Mo Jun smiled slightly: "The little official is a pearl, although the wind and sand are very big now, but it can't hide the luster of the pearl, whether it is handsome, Tong Guan, or Liang Shicheng, in fact, they are all pearl readers, and they will not abandon such a pearl as a small official!" ”

Li Daqi sighed slightly, "I'm afraid that someone would rather destroy the pearl than let others get it." ”

"There is indeed such a possibility, but I believe that the petty officials have a clear mind and are enough to protect themselves."

........

Li Yanqing came to Liang Shicheng's mansion again, a courtyard was waiting at the door, and when he saw Li Yanqing coming, he hurriedly said: "Li Guanren, please!" Taifu waited in the study. ”

Li Yanqing followed the compound to the inner house, and while walking, the courtyard said in a low voice: "Taifu's mood has been very bad in the past two days, and officials must be careful when they speak." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Thanks for the reminder!" ”

Not long after, the two came to the study, and the compound reported in a low voice: "Master, General Li is here!" ”

"Come in!"

Liang Shicheng's slightly shrill voice came from the room, but he could hear that his tone was very calm, neither panic nor excitement.

Li Yanqing walked into the inner study, the light was a little dim, Liang Shicheng stood in front of the window with his hands down, staring at the cloudy sky, his face was as gloomy as the sky.

"It's going to rain heavily!"

Liang Shicheng sighed slightly and glanced back at Li Yanqing, "When did Yanqing come back?" ”

"I just arrived at noon yesterday and took a month's off."

"Does Tong Guan approve your leave?"

"I feel like he can't ask for it."

Liang Shicheng smiled, "I'm afraid he doesn't think like this now." ”

"Taifu, the imperial court.... Something went wrong? Li Yanqing asked tentatively.

"Yesterday there was an incident, which may seem like a small thing to others, but in our eyes, it is a shocking event."

Liang Shicheng's sharp eyes looked at Li Yanqing, and said slowly: "The third son of the emperor, Zhao Kai, was officially canonized as King Yun yesterday, and he can enter and exit the forbidden middle school at any time, regardless of morning and evening, do you understand what this means?" ”

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: "Although King Yun is close, after all, it is not Qin, Jin, Qichu, nor the kings of Liang Bian, and I feel that the Son of Heaven has not really made up his mind. ”

The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and was very particular about the matter of sealing the prince, such as Qin, Jin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Shu and other princes to have a higher status than other princes, in fact, it is to determine the status of the prince according to the distance from the capital, like the Tang Dynasty before the crown prince, will first be crowned King Yong or King Qin, which is close to the prince of Chang'an, so Li Shimin was named the king of Qin, which means that he also has the right to inherit the throne.

And the capital of the Song Dynasty is in Kaifeng, here is the former Liang, Bian, if Zhao Kai is named the king of Liang or Bian, it is called a serious problem, now only named the king of Yun, can only be said to be further from the East Palace, but not to the extent of threatening the status of the prince.

Liang Shicheng nodded secretly, Li Yanqing really sees the problem very thoroughly, and many court ministers may not have his vision, no wonder after the prince was suppressed, he had to do everything possible to remind himself that Li Yanqing must not be co-opted by Tong Guan, Gao Yu and others.

"Please sit down!"

Li Yanqing sat down, and Liang Shicheng smiled gently: "You are very good at comforting people, I have been overwhelmed by the prince's affairs during this time, and it is also your words that make me feel that the prince's situation is not too bad, thank you." ”

"If you care, you will be chaotic, and Taifu is a fan of the authorities."

"That's true, I'm too worried, and I'll think about the problem seriously."

Liang Shicheng smiled again: "The day before yesterday, Tong Guan reported your merits to the imperial court, barely fair, I presented it to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven's approval came down early this morning, just four words, 'Exceptional promotion!' 'This time to pacify the Liangshan Rebellion, the Son of Heaven still attaches great importance to it, even the seed master Dao was also named the prince and young master, plus the prince of Juye County, Uncle Zhang was named the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion at night, Zong Ze was appointed as the military department of the squire Lang Zhilai Prefecture, and even Zhao Mingcheng was promoted to the left member of the Ministry of Household Affairs Wailang Zhilai Prefecture, commending his integrity and the merits of restoring order in Qizhou, you have the credit for pacifying the Hebei bandits, although the qualifications are still shallow, the Son of Heaven has decided to promote you exceptionally, after all, there is a precedent for Wang Hao to be promoted to the eighth rank overnight. ”

After a pause, Liang Shicheng said lightly: "I think this is also a kind of apology from the Son of Heaven to the planter, someone secretly reported to the Son of Heaven that the Liangshan army had run out of food, but it was successfully broken through by Song Jiang and other bandits, and the Son of Heaven was so angry that he scolded Tong Guan for not doing enough and losing more than anything." ”

Li Yanqing suddenly woke up, "Tong Guan has a watchman by his side? ”

Liang Shicheng snorted coldly, "It's about military power, how can an official family completely trust someone?" ”

Li Yanqing was silent, and after a while, he asked again: "Hasn't the specific position of the humble post been lowered yet?" ”

"The Zhu Batch of the Son of Heaven is still in my hands, I want to discuss it with you first, and then I will transfer it to the Ministry of Officials, who will draft a promotion plan, and then report it level by level, your father's intention is to let you go to the state and county as an official, what about yourself?"

"I want to stay in the court, and I want to accumulate a few years of contacts."

Liang Shicheng nodded, "It also makes sense, it is always based on your own wishes, but there is one thing I want to remind you, the promotion of military merits is generally more virtual and less real, you don't have too much hope for the word 'exception', do you understand what I mean?" ”

Of course, Li Yanqing knows that there will be a bunch of titles for military merit promotion, but there are very few positions with real power, such as the Dao Seed Master Feng Baojing Army Festival Envoy, General, Prince Young Master, Inspector of the Military Department, and the title of Juye County Duke, but there is no real power position, which is equivalent to being idle at home.

He Li Yanqing is actually the same, the rank official is the court invitation Lang, and the official is the imperial history, but this imperial history is the imperial history in the palace, and the person who lost his honor when he corrected the hundred officials at the court meeting, if he was not an official in the court, in fact, it was still a false position, his real position was a messenger, and the military commander was the envoy, unless he continued to follow Tong Guan, otherwise the war to exterminate Liangshan would end, and his mission position would be over.

Li Yanqing doesn't care about how many false positions he gets, he just wants to know what his actual official is?

"The specific arrangements for the humble position, Taifu should have an idea!"

Liang Shicheng smiled slightly, "It should be said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes that you will continue to stay in the Imperial Historical Tower." ”

Liang Shicheng saw that Li Yanqing's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to have any doubts, so he had to continue to explain: "The reason why you let you stay in the Imperial History Observatory is because the Imperial History Observatory has always been controlled by me, and your current appointment as the Imperial History in the Palace is actually my recommendation, I consider letting you improve the Taiwan Academy and take up the position of serving the Imperial History of the Taiwan Academy from the Sixth Grade, this is a real position, and it is very beneficial for you to accumulate official contacts, I don't know what you think?" ”

For Li Yanqing's position, the drafting of the plan by the Ministry of Officials is only a formality, and the real decision is still in the hands of Liang Shicheng.

Li Yanqing immediately stood up and saluted: "Thank you Taifu for your kindness!" ”

Liang Shicheng said happily: "I am in a hurry to find you today, just for the sake of this matter, it must be decided as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, as for your official rank and reward, etc., the officials and the Privy Council need to confirm it again, and strive to make it officially decided tomorrow." ”

"Please take care of the Taifu, don't bother the Taifu, and leave first."

Liang Shicheng smiled and nodded, "Is there anything you need my help with in life?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I don't need it for the time being." ”

"Alright! You go back and wait for the good news. ”

Liang Shicheng sent Li Yanqing out of the courtyard, he stood in front of the courtyard gate and looked at Li Yanqing away, Liang Shicheng recently had an unprecedented sense of crisis, he strongly felt that he would be liquidated one day, he must take precautions and install his own forces in the DPRK as soon as possible.

Li Yanqing was a chess piece he took a fancy to at the beginning, but with Li Yanqing's excellent performance in Western Xia and the suppression of bandits, Liang Shicheng gradually discovered Li Yanqing's true value, and it is likely that his net worth and life will depend on Li Yanqing to maintain in the future, so he will no longer mention the matter of Li Shishi, but instead use Huairou means to envelop Li Yanqing, including his father Li Daqi.
