And those stone carvings and the like, there is no way to do this, the money that should be spent still has to be spent, otherwise if you don't spend a penny, the old man is afraid that he will be angry.

With such a thought, Li Chengqian kept playing sloppy with the old man, using the old man's desire to complete a palace complex to tempt.

"Well, since you are so confident, it is not impossible for this matter to be handed over to you, but you have to remember that if something goes wrong, don't come to me to cry."

The old man's 'something went wrong' meant that Xun Gui and the family found out that Li Chengqian had embezzled money for the construction of the railway, and they would trouble him when the time came.

Li Chengqian knows very well what his father said, but he also has his own thoughts, not to mention whether this matter will be known by those nobles, even if he knows, Xiao Li Zhitong does not believe that the old man will not protect himself.

This is the most direct manifestation of the so-called 'you have a thousand plans, I have certain rules'.

……

After sending the old man away, the time had reached noon, and after hastily having lunch, Li Chengqian took his little wife Kong Wen and Yang Yuxin and others, plus the new bodyguard leader Qin Qiong and Qin Erye out of the East Palace and went straight to Kong Yingda's house.

After leaving the East Palace, Comrade Xiao Li poked his head out of the carriage from time to time, looked at Lao Qin who was following the carriage, and looked like he wanted to say something.

Kong Wen was very curious, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what are you looking at?" ”

"Don't you think it's weird? Outside, it's a grandfather of the country, a dignified prince of the country, who follows us as a bodyguard, do you think this matter is reliable? Li Chengqian's face was entangled.

If he let his brothers and friends in later generations know about this, how long will it be, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, who stepped on both sides of the Yellow River and beat the six prefectures of Sanzhou and Six Prefectures, are his followers, how awesome is this, how many people will be envious of it in later generations?

But it's a pity that he can't go back, he can't go back for the rest of his life, so he can only go on in this Tang Dynasty where even the newborn baby is his ancestor.

"It's quite unreliable, why don't you let Yiguo Gong come up." Kong Wen heard Li Chengqian say this, and she also felt a little uncomfortable, after all, her grandfather was also a national prince, and she thought of letting the old man follow her as a .......

"Forget it, do you think I didn't say it, it's useless." Li Chengqian shook his head.

Lao Qin is a person who does what he says, if he says that he is a guard, he is a guard, and there will never be any deviant actions, let alone Li Chengqian, even if His Majesty Li Er comes to persuade him, it is useless.

"What then?" Kong Wen looked at Li Chengqian with big eyes and asked with some concern.

"Cold salad, what else can I do." Li Chengqian spread his hands and complained: "These old guys are all virtuous, stubborn, the more you persuade, the more you persuade, the more energetic you become." ”

Based on his feelings, Li Chengqian thinks that letting Lao Qin be his follower is a bad policy, and it is not very appropriate, but at the moment, he really has no errands to arrange Lao Qin to do, and he can only do it like this, although it is a bit overkill, but there is no good way.

There is also the fact that Lao Qin is his follower, which will make some veteran ruffians feel uncomfortable and feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, which is also something Li Chengqian does not want to see. So Lao Qin became the head of his bodyguard, which made him feel awesome, but in essence, it still did more harm than good.

Thinking about how to settle Lao Qin, Li Chengqian and his entourage arrived at Kong Yingda's mansion half an hour later, and saw a group of people standing in front of the door of Confucius Mansion from a distance.

"Grandson-in-law has seen grandpa." Before the car approached, Li Chengqian was the first to jump down from the carriage, and without waiting for Lao Kong to come up to salute, the first thing was a big gift.

At this time, it is the time when you need to show etiquette in front of people, Li Chengqian doesn't want to lose a big deal because of a small thing, it would be a bit big to let Qin Qiong be a follower, if you let Lao Kong give him a salute first, it would really be inappropriate.

"My grandson has seen my grandfather." After Li Chengqian gave the salute, Kong Wen also walked down from the carriage with the support of the palace maid.

"Lao Chen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and he has seen ......" Lao Kong was also quite embarrassed at this time, usually he went into the palace to see his granddaughter, and he was more casual when there were no outsiders, and now he ...... What a special gift to my granddaughter is called?

"Grandpa doesn't have to be like this, today's son-in-law is accompanying Wenwen back to the door, and they are all his own family." Li Chengqian stepped forward at the right time to support Lao Kong and set the tone for this trip.

"Okay, that's good." Old man Kong nodded with satisfaction, although he is an old pedant, but everyone needs face-saving things, and this old man is no exception.

"Grandpa, let's go outside, it's windy outside, beware of the wind and cold." Kong Wen stood beside Li Chengqian, smiling like a flower, stepped forward to support Lao Kong, and in the old man's proud laughter, the group entered the Confucian mansion.

In the front hall of the Confucian Mansion, everyone sat down, and Old Man Kong looked Kong Wen up and down a few times, then looked at Li Chengqian who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Xiaowen, go to the back house, meet your grandmother and a few sisters, they miss you very much." ”

"Yes, grandson will go over here." Kong Wen nodded cleverly, saluted Lao Kong, and turned into the back house. She also knew that Li Chengqian must have something to do this time, and the reason why he took her was just to stop by, so naturally he would not stay in the front hall.

And after Kong Wen left, Lao Kong also put away the smile on his face, and asked Li Chengqian, "Your Highness is afraid that there is something wrong here, right?" ”

"Don't hide it from grandpa, there are indeed some things." Li Chengqian's trip certainly has his own purpose, but because this matter is not so easy, he plans to use the relationship of relatives to talk to Lao Kong.

Old man Kong looked at Qin Qiong, who had been standing behind Li Chengqian, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please speak bluntly, as long as the old minister can do it, he will definitely not shirk." ”

"It's easy for Grandpa." Li Chengqian took over with a smile: "Grandpa still remembers what his grandson-in-law said about 'education reform' at the court meeting some time ago, right?" ”

Old man Kong chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that he was really a wicked guest, but he said without pause: "The old minister remembers." ”

"Grandpa really has a good memory." Li Chengqian cocked his thumb and praised it, and then continued: "Grandson-in-law just thought, can grandpa do me a favor and write a letter to the family, and the family will first recruit a group of poor students to make an example for other state capitals!" ”

"This ......" Kong Yingda's brows furrowed, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

After all, what Li Chengqian said is not a trivial matter, and the Kong family is not the only one in Shandong, although it is no problem to give others an example, but the consequences must be considered.
