Yan Hua, the initiator, also spoke: "The minister also recommended the general to be the supervisor Li Jie, Lord Li repaired the Yanfu Palace before, and was well received by the emperor. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Master Li's attainments in the garden are profound, beyond our reach. The post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, if Master Li does not do it, no one dares to do it. ”

When the general Li Jie, the prisoner, heard this, he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister Li Jiejie has something to say. ”

Lu Chengqi was quite surprised, at this time, when the civil officials were promoted, as the person who was pushed, he generally did not speak, in order to avoid suspicion. Li Jie took the initiative to ask to speak, which is still rare. Lu Chengqi hesitated slightly, and then said, "Quasi-play." ”

Li Jie immediately held the court wat and said word by word: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he is not qualified for the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry......" Before the words fell, Cao Ling raised his head in surprise. Originally, he thought that he was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he had no drama, but unexpectedly, Li Jie actually wanted to give up! In this way, doesn't you say that you are the most promising? I was overjoyed for a while, and my little heart was beating wildly, and it was about to rise to my throat.

Not only Cao Ling was unexpected, but also the civil and military officials inside and outside the palace

Lu Chengqi was also very surprised, and he was silent on the surface, quietly waiting for Li Jie's next words. I only heard Li Jie continue: "...... There is nothing to be gained from the study of ministers, and the classical scholarship is not proficient. He can only repair the garden, but he has no talent. The first emperor was promoted to a minister as a general and a prisoner, and the minister still felt powerless, let alone the secretary of the Ministry of Industry? Moreover, the minister is now only twenty or sixteen, and he is too young to serve the public. There are so many things, all of which show that the minister is not enough to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and please think twice! ”

Lu Chengqi quietly listened to Li Jie's words, and during this time, he had been observing Li Jie's tone and eyes. found that Li Jie's eyes on Lu Chengqi did not dodge, but talked eloquently without being cramped. exposed his shortcomings, but did not hide them in the slightest, Lu Chengqi did not see the slightest suspicion of contrivedness.

Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "Is this person really an official who is out of the mud and unstained?" Otherwise, how could it be so honest! I can't say, but I'll see if what he said is true......"

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi suddenly smiled, which eased the atmosphere of the serious court: "Li Qing really has a real temperament, but I have always been talented in employing people, so why not be young?" If I am like me, didn't I become a great treasure at a young age? Another example is Wu Qing, the secretary of the ministry, isn't he also in his thirties! Age does not mean anything, as the saying goes, ambition is not in age, no ambition is 100 years old. Could it be that Li Qing's previous repair of Yanfu Palace was also a fame and reputation, pretending to be done by others? ”

When Li Jie heard this, he didn't know if he was angry, and his still immature face was extremely red, and he argued: "Your Majesty, Yanfu Palace was built by a minister, how could he have faked the hands of others?" ”

Lu Chengqi made a strange gesture and said: "Then why is Li Qing arrogant and said that he has no talent?" In my opinion, he is also a great talent who can repair gardens. The people who are valued by the imperial examination, can't I also use them? I don't know if Li Qing has anything unspeakable, but these two items are indeed inaccurate. I fancy Li Qing's talent, and it has nothing to do with other things. If you can't give any other reason, I think that you can rest assured that you should be the secretary of the Ministry of Works. ”

Li Jie was stunned, Lu Chengqi's thoughts were too wild, and he couldn't turn around for a while. After struggling inwardly for a long time, he said ashamedly: "My colleagues in the DPRK and China all know that the minister's father and brother have a bad reputation, and because of the shame of the family, the minister is already ashamed of the emperor and His Majesty to be a prisoner, let alone a second-class member?" This must not be done, otherwise the minister will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life......"

Lu Chengqi was stunned, the influence of the door wind in this era was something Lu Chengqi did not expect. Xu Chongguang said that he wanted to promote Li Jie, and of course Lu Chengqi had to call up Li Jie's information and read it again, so as to understand this person's talent.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. This Li Jie is definitely a buried scientist, erudite and very well-read, not only proficient in architecture, but also knows how to draw, and his calligraphy is very beautiful. His article is really not good, if it weren't for his handwriting, he wouldn't have been able to get into the Jinshi. The ranking low in the palace examination did not prevent Li Jie from showing his skills in the field of architecture, since he was a supervisor and an official, he successively built a new Guozijian, repaired more than ten royal gardens such as Shanglin Garden and South Imperial Garden, and made great contributions. The Supervision Department secretly reported that Li Jie's hobbies are very extensive, such as carpentry, horse breeding, myths and monsters, musical instruments, research of ancient characters, etc., anyway, each of them has made achievements, and he is really a rare talent.

But Li Jie also has a fatal flaw, that is, he was born in a family that has been an official for generations. His great-grandfather Li Weiyin, grandfather Li Dianyu, father Li Nangong, and brother Li Yi were all enshrined in the imperial court. It's not bad to be an official, but the worst thing is that his father and brother's official reputation are not good, and some people once commented that his father was "repeatedly treacherous, no special exercises, and those who know him are not"; For his brother, he was evaluated as "people think they are mean". It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, rat sons can make holes, and fathers are heroes. With this superficial cognition, the actions of Li Jie's father, Li Nangong, have naturally become an important basis for evaluating Li Jie. This is also the reason why Li Jie has always had low self-esteem, and he blames the unspoken rules of this officialdom for being too restrictive.

After Lu Chengqi understood Li Jie's worries, he suddenly slapped the dragon chair and reprimanded: "Fallacy, your father is your father, your brother is your brother, you are you, is it possible that based on what your father did, I will give up using a talent?" What kind of truth is this, it is extremely ridiculous, Li Qing, don't worry, I dare to guarantee, you have made this Ministry of Works, no one dares to say a word of gossip about you. If anyone dares to chew the skin of their mouths and reach my ears, hmph, I want to see who has the ability to do this book! Li Qing, could it be that the reputation you gained before was fake? ”

Li Jie blushed, he was an honest man, but he was not a fool, he could still hear Lu Chengqi's agitation. I saw him say in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty doesn't need to use the radical method, this Ministry of Industry is still a book, and the minister still dares to do it!" ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "That's right, Li Qing, as long as you make some achievements, who dares to say half a sentence about you?" ”

At this time, the civil and military officials in the Daqing Hall listened to the performance of this monarch and minister, and their hearts lit up: "It turns out that the little emperor eats the trick of advancing and retreating, and this Li Jie's is also good luck, and it happens to fall into the little emperor's mind." "They have all made up their minds, if they want the little emperor to compromise next time, they will retreat as advance. They didn't know that Lu Chengqi was based on his understanding of intelligence by retreating as an advance. If anyone wants to use this trick on Lu Cheng, I'm afraid they will hit the south wall. Not everyone's acting skills are perfect, as long as there is a dodge, there must be a ghost in the heart. Although Lu Chengqi didn't dare to say that he could see it 100%, he wasn't so stupid that he rashly agreed without understanding anything, right? There is no need for such a good intelligence organization as the Supervision Department, unless Lu Chengqi is guilty...... (To be continued.) )
