Li Qinzai respectfully retired and slowly withdrew from the outside of the Liangyi Palace.

Li Zhi sent him with a smile, and it was not until his figure disappeared at the palace gate that Li Zhi withdrew his gaze and sat back in the hall.

The shadow of the screen behind the hall flashed, and the figure of Empress Wu Na appeared in front of Li Zhi, and first bowed to Li Zhi Yingying.

"Has Your Majesty been too lenient to this son? Since he has been sealed with an official position, how can he not enter the court and ignore the government? If it is known by outsiders, the court is afraid that it will be rumors again. Empress Wu frowned.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Did you hear it behind the screen just now?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty summoned this son to play the right game, it is related to the society, the concubine couldn't help but be curious, so she secretly hid behind and listened for a while, Your Majesty forgives her sins."

Li Zhi shook his head disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Ancient and modern talents, it is inevitable that there are some strange problems, those who are arrogant and arrogant, those who have no spare children, and those who have an eccentric temperament. ”

"If you force him to do something he doesn't like, the courtiers will be unhappy, and they will inevitably have resentment when doing things, and they won't appreciate my kindness too much, so why bother to ruin the feelings of the monarch and the minister for some customary rules? Neither public nor private is good. ”

Empress Wu lowered her head and thought about it, and said softly: "Your Majesty is wise, it is the concubine who thinks about it, and the women are narrow-minded after all." ”

Li Zhi smiled, looked up at a dim palace lamp on the top of the palace, and muttered: "Everyone in the world calls my father the 'Heavenly Khan', because my father is majestic and broad-minded. ”

"I ...... I don't want to lose to my father, and in my lifetime, I also hope that my subjects and Chinese and foreign vassals will be happy and convincing to call me 'Heavenly Khan', and I should have no regrets in this life. ”

…………

Li Qinzai became an official.

This time it is no longer a fictitious title, nor is it an idle position, but a real and powerful official.

The young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, which is equivalent to the second-in-command of the ordnance superintendent, is not small from the fifth grade.

Of course, it is still a little worse than his father Li Siwen's Runzhou assassination history.

Li Qinzai suddenly had a bad taste, if he was promoted to above the fourth rank in the future, higher than his father's official position, would he dare to beat himself?

Beat Shangguan to squat in Dali Temple, right?

It's a pity that he, who is already a five-grade official, still doesn't have the ambition he should have.

Li Qinzai has no goal for officialdom, this official is just a dispensable concoction for him, even if Li Zhi suddenly decrees to remove him from his official position, he will not have any loss.

Without great ambitions, a small wealth is peace, this kind of life is what Li Qinzai really needs, and the official position that Li Zhi rewarded him is more like a burden and constraint.

Back at the Li Mansion, as soon as he got off the carriage, Li Qinzai was surprised to find that a red lantern was hung in the house, and the housekeeper and his subordinates stood at the door to greet him.

Seeing Li Qinzai coming back, Steward Wu rushed forward with an arrow step and saluted with a festive face: "Congratulations to the fifth young man on his promotion to the young eunuch, our Li family has another pillar, and the family business has been undiminished for thousands of years." ”

The people also followed suit and saluted and congratulated.

Steward Wu's joy when he congratulated him was from the heart, and as the steward of the British Mansion, he saw it better than anyone else.

The Li family is undoubtedly prominent, but in the huge family, the only person who is really prominent is the British Duke Li Tao, and the rest of the family's children are all graceful.

"Enyin" is another unpleasant way to put it, that is, it is stained with light, and the entire family is only stained with Li Tao's light, including Li Tao's eldest son Li Zhen and second son Li Siwen.

They actually don't have much talent, it's purely because Li Tao's credit to the Tang Sheji is too great, and the Heavenly Family must let the Li family shine on the lintel for Li Tao's sake.

However, Li Qinzai is different, he is the only one among all the descendants of the Li family who became an official purely by his own ability, and the Son of Heaven is obviously very kind to him, and he is the young eunuch from the fifth grade.

Li Qinzai's official position is much higher than that of other people in the Li family.

The significance of the Li family's representation is not ordinary, after the Li family's own head Li Tao, there is finally another talent with real ability.

Therefore, Wu Tong came up with a sentence when he met, "The Li family's family business has not declined for thousands of years", this sentence is not just a compliment, Wu Tong said that this sentence means something.

There are successors in the family, and the family business will naturally last for thousands of years.

After greeting the housekeeper with a smile, Li Qinzai walked into the door.

In the front hall, the elders of the family were all there, and they obviously got the news from the palace and knew that Li Qinzai had been made an official.

Li Cuishi greeted him with a smile on his face, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and he rubbed Li Qinzai's hair vigorously with both hands, making a mess of his hairstyle.

"My son is amazing, the Son of Heaven said that you are talented, you fought hard for your father and mother, for your mother...... I was very happy. ”

Li Cuishi choked up as he spoke.

Li Qinzai has done too many bastard things over the years, and the reputation in Chang'an City is also unpleasant, Li Cui's is afraid that he has heard a lot of gossip in the circle of noblewomen in Chang'an, and he has suffered a lot of wretchedness.

Today, Li Qinzai was made an official by the Son of Heaven, not relying on the grace of his elders, but on his own ability.

Maybe Li Qinzai doesn't think anything, but for Li Cui's family, it is indeed a high-spirited one, and he will be able to hold his head high in the circle of noblewomen in Chang'an City in the future.

Li Qinzai stood in front of Li Cui's and looked at her relieved appearance wiping her tears, and he suddenly realized how much grievances and pressure his family had endured behind his back.

"Mother, the child will never let you hold your head up again." Li Qinzai said seriously.

This is his promise, Li Qinzai has a single temperament, but it does not mean that he is ruthless and unrighteous, he has his weakness, and the softest place in his heart is his family.

Li Cuishi smiled with tears: "My son has finally grown up and is sensible, this day, I have been looking forward to my mother for a long time......"

Li Qinzai hugged her shoulders intimately and said with a smile: "Mother, even if the child is not a big official in the future, it will not let you be ashamed, and the child will make the mother the most beautiful mother in Chang'an City." ”

Li Cuishi wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "My son has today, and he is already very beautiful as a mother, so I don't have to be myself." ”

The mother and son talked for a while, and in the front hall, Li Tao and Li Siwen also walked out.

Li Qinzai saluted the two of them in a proper manner.

Li Tao smiled and said: "The reward of the Son of Heaven has been expected by the old man, but the old man didn't expect the favor of the Son of Heaven to be so great, and he actually gave you the official son of the fifth grade." ”

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "My grandson doesn't really want to be an official, but I have no choice but to be given by the palace, and my grandson doesn't dare to resign, for fear of causing trouble to the family, so I have to be ashamed." ”

Li Tao snorted and said: "The young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, the power in his hands is not small, you must be cautious in the future, don't mess around like before, the officialdom is like a tiger's den in Longtan, one wrong step is a disaster of death." ”

"Yes, my grandson understands."

Li Siwen stood quietly aside, his expression was still indifferent, but there was still a sense of joy in his eyes, but he was used to having a straight face in front of his son, and his expression was difficult to change for a while.

Seeing Li Qinzai looking at him, Li Siwen coughed uncomfortably, was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "You...... Well done. ”

Li Qinzai smiled.

A rare compliment, Li Qinzai's predecessor has probably never heard of it for half his life.

Li Tao glanced at Li Siwen, and suddenly smiled: "Siwen's Runzhou Thorn History is only the fourth grade, you have to think a little more, otherwise, your son is afraid that it won't be long before the official position is higher than yours, and at that time I will see if you are ashamed." ”

Li Siwen smiled faintly: "If you can be blue, even if you give a salute to your son, you will not be ashamed." ”
