Emperor Kang Ping immediately came to Di Li to discuss the matter.

Di Li was very surprised by Emperor Kangping's summons, because except for the occasional time when Emperor Kangping specially named him to stay because of the prison sentence, this kind of solitary summons rarely happened. When he heard that Emperor Kangping was going to send Zhou Qiu to Liaodong to take over the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Qi Nian was even more stunned.

No one in this court knows that the Han family is royalist, and the Sun family is specially here to dismantle the stage - not that they are disloyal to the young master, but that the Sun family values their own interests more than the great interests of the country.

Under such circumstances, it is unbelievable that Emperor Kangping wanted to send Sun Changyu's son-in-law, the new Gongbu Langzhong Zhouqiu, to take over Qi Nian. You must know that Zhou Qiu's current official position was specially arranged by Sun Changyu, and Sun Changyu's arrangement directly pointed to the matter of digging iron and casting soldiers in Harrier Ridge, which is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

Emperor Kangping decided to send Zhou Qiu to Liaodong to take over Qi Nian at this time, wasn't he "throwing himself into the net"?

Emperor Kang Ping saw Di Li's stunned face, his little face was full of helplessness, and he sighed in a low voice: "Does Di Aiqing think I want to do this? I'm also forced to do this. Di Aiqing thinks that if I change to someone other than the Sun family, will Lord Shoufu easily agree? ”

Di Li hurriedly replied: "The minister doesn't dare to speculate. ”

It's about the court dispute, and it's also about the dislike of the monarch and the minister, so he doesn't dare to take it casually.

Emperor Kangping knew that Di Li, as the secretary of Dali Temple, had countless cases on weekdays, was thoughtful, and was even more cautious and careful in the court, and never refused to speak casually, so he didn't care, but continued: "Dare or not, I also force Di Aiqing to answer, Di Aiqing understands in his heart." ”

After that, he frowned and sighed sadly: "Since I ascended the throne, although the court affairs have been assisted by Di Aiqing and other loyal ministers, and there are uncles and grandfathers who have fought hard against Sun Shoufu, but many times, political affairs are beyond my decision.

"This time the matter of digging iron and casting soldiers in Harrier Ridge is very important, and it cannot be delayed for a moment, and the reason why I did this is also after weighing it, and I have to do it as a last resort.

"Zhou Aiqing knows a lot about this person, although he is Sun Shoufu's son-in-law, but he is loyal and upright, and his replacement of Qi Aiqing is the best arrangement I can think of at the moment."

Di Li thought deeply when he heard this, although this best arrangement was probably thought up by Han Yan, but in the face of Sun Changyu's ambition to dig up iron and cast troops in Harrier Ridge, this unavoidable arrangement seemed to be the best choice for Emperor Kang Ping at present.

At least, Zhou Qiu has a good temperament and can succeed Qi Nian and continue the project of digging iron and casting troops in Harrier Ridge.

I think so, but in the face of Emperor Kangping's sudden heart-to-heart talk, Di Li still feels a little puzzled and uneasy - this kind of thing, since Emperor Kangping has thought about it very clearly, then it would be good for him to make his own decision, why did he specially summon him into the palace and explain it specifically?

Di Li thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "The Holy Lord is thoughtful, and the minister is deeply admired. It's just that I don't know what happened to the saint's recruitment of ministers into the palace this time? ”

Emperor Kang Ping was waiting for Di Li's words, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "I want to ask Di Aiqing to be the person who recommends this, I don't know what Di Aiqing wants?" ”

Di Li was startled and a little puzzled.

This kind of thing, Emperor Kang Ping directly handed over to Han Yan, a "newborn calf" who is not afraid of "tigers", to do it, which is both safe and reliable.

After all, looking at the entire court, the most loyal to Emperor Kangping is Han Yan, who has made great contributions, and only he dares to choke Sun Changyu in the court.

Kang Pingdi specially summoned him to do this, is it too redundant?

Emperor Kangping knew Di Li's hesitation, so he clearly informed each other of his and Han Yan's worries, and at the end, he sighed helplessly: "In order to avoid Sun Shoufu's suspicions, the construction period of Harrier Ridge has been delayed, and I can only ask Di Aiqing to be the person who recommended it." I don't know what Di Aiqing thinks? ”

Emperor Kang Ping has already been honest with his words, and Di Li, as a courtier, even if he wants to refuse, he can't speak again.

Fortunately, Di Li has always taken loyalty and patriotism as the first priority, so although he was inevitably worried in his heart, he did not find it difficult to accept.

"Thanks to the wrong love of the saint, the minister will never give up." Di Li had no choice but to take his life quickly.

Even if Emperor Kang Ping had expected this, but now that he heard Di Li's promise, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the big stone hanging in his heart was half of it.

As for the other half, it will not be able to put it down until Di Li recommends Zhou Qiu in the dynasty and successfully passes the court meeting.

Sure enough, even if this matter was raised by Di Li Dangting, it still aroused Sun Changyu's suspicions.

Arranging for Zhou Qiu to be in charge of the Harrier Ridge to dig iron and cast soldiers, although Sun Changyu had already conceived it and had already begun to arrange it, but it was definitely not now.

With Xie Zhiyi having not yet cleared all the obstacles for Zhou Qiu in Liaodong, and Zhou Qiu had not familiarized himself with the relevant matters in advance, this was definitely a reckless and risky proposal.

Sun Changyu's heart turned, and he was about to step forward to oppose it, but he was preempted by Zhuang Xian.

"Qiqi Sheng, for Lord Di's recommendation, Wei Chen has some doubts, and I also ask Lord Di to solve his doubts." Zhuang Xian stepped forward and bowed down to ask for instructions.

Di Li was stunned and looked at Emperor Kang Ping, his eyes slightly surprised.

It's not the same as a script that was told in advance.

Seeing this, Emperor Kang Ping opened his mouth to reassure: "Di Aiqing should be calm for a while, and listen to what doubts Zhuang Aiqing has about this." ”

Emperor Kangping had already spoken, Di Li had no choice but to give up his promise, and Zhuang Xian questioned the court, whether it was Emperor Kangping or him, it was impossible to cover his mouth and prevent him from speaking.

Zhuang Xian bowed down to thank him, then turned to Di Li and asked for instructions: "The matter of digging iron and casting soldiers in Harrier Ridge is very important, although Lord Zhou is a young man for a while, but he is still young, his experience is still shallow, and his experience is insufficient, so he may not be enough to take on such an important task. Please also ask Lord Di to be more concerned. ”

Sun Changyu on the side immediately stared at him, his expression was dark and uncertain.

Seeing this, Di Li gradually understood, but he was afraid that Zhuang Xian was the last move arranged by Emperor Kangping in advance, and the purpose was to prevent Sun Changyu from taking the opportunity to cause other incidents.

After figuring it out, Di Li asked, "Oh? I don't know if in Lord Zhuang's opinion, who should be sent to Harrier Ridge to replace Qi Shangshu this time? ”

Sun Changyu's eyebrows froze, and the hand holding the wat board tightened.

Zhuang Xian saw Di Li so cooperative, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This matter is very important, Weichen thinks that a more senior and stable person should be sent." Weichen recommended Han Duan Han. ”
