Chapter Seventy-Three: The Crisis of Promotion

It has taken Li Yaoji a month to control the flood, and he has finally managed the local flood properly.

The people here love Li Yaoji very much, and when they heard that he was leaving, they stood in two long lines and came down the street to bid him farewell.

He sat in the carriage and looked outside, a sea of people, and he was very proud.

So high-spirited to return to the court.

Hearing that Li Yaoji was coming back, the chief eunuch reported the matter to Mo Yanzhao in time.

"Lord Li has taken care of the flood, and now he is waiting outside the palace to give you his life."

Li Yaoji is back? Mo Yanzhao put down the brush in his hand.

After thinking about it, he said to the chief eunuch, "Let him come in first." ”

The chief eunuch hurried down and personally introduced Li Yaoji into the palace.

I saw Li Yaoji wearing a red official uniform, straightening his waist, and striding forward.

Seeing Mo Yanzhao, he knelt on the ground and bowed.

"See the emperor, Li Yaoji is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

Mo Yanzhao nodded and personally helped Li Yaoji up, "Tell me, how well did you manage the flood when you went this time, did you encounter any difficulties?" ”

Li Yaoji was proud in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a big deal in front of Mo Yanzhao.

"The emperor trusts him, and this time he went to control the flood and solve the flood, which was very smooth and there was no difficulty. I have already arranged a place for the people affected by the disaster, and I have asked them to build houses as soon as possible so that they can live normally. ”

"If the damage is not severe, let them continue to produce so that local trade can resume as soon as possible."

Li Yaoji was sophisticated, and Mo Yanzhao was naturally relieved, so he nodded again and again in appreciation: "Very good." ”

"Wait until tomorrow morning, and I will reward you well." Mo Yanzhao has been suffering for the flood disaster for a long time, and Li Yaoji has made meritorious contributions to the disaster this time, so he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.

Li Yaoji was overjoyed when he heard this, and he knelt down again, "Thank you for the emperor's love!" ”

On the second day, the morning pilgrimage.

On the solemn dragon chair, Mo Yanzhao sat precariously until the end of the discussion, and read Li Yaoji's name.

In between, Li Yaoji looked dignified, stood up from the group of ministers, bowed to Mo Yanzhao, who was high above, and waited for the order.

The eyes of the ministers were on him.

"This time, the flood situation in the south is severe, and many people have been displaced, which is really a serious disaster for our dynasty. Li Aiqing went to treat the disaster this time, handled it properly, the people's wishes, solved the worries in my heart, remembered that you have made meritorious contributions to the disaster, but it can be useful, and now I order you to be the waiter of Zhongshu Province, and you will be on duty on the same day. ”

Li Yaoji was excited when he heard this, and kowtowed to thank him.

The ministers behind him had their own looks.

Many people know that Li Yaoji is a person who is the minister of Wei, and he became the waiter of Zhongshu Province, so wouldn't the minister of Wei be like a tiger.

This fear could not be declared, so it had to be swallowed silently.

After the end of the early dynasty, Li Yaoji hurriedly came to Wei Xiang's side.

Wei Xiang had to add a fierce general to the court, he was refreshing, and he laughed heartily.

"You really lived up to my expectations, the southern flood management has been meritorious, and the old man has not congratulated you on your promotion!"

"Xiaguan can have today, it is all due to the promotion of Wei Xiang, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to climb to a high position, you are Xiaguan's reborn parents, Xiaguan will definitely be your liver and brain in the future." Li Yaoji can be said to have put his posture very low in front of Wei Xiang.

This Li Yaoji is an interesting person. Wei Xiang nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yaoji followed Wei Xiang back to the house, and touted his abilities along the way, and directly taught Wei Xiang to feel comfortable.

"Now that you are the squire of Zhongshu Province, your power has increased greatly, but you must not let your guard down, you should be more vigilant, after all, there are still so many pairs of eyes staring at you."

Li Yaoji's face also became serious, which he naturally knew well.

He has been in the camp step by step, and he has already recognized Wei Xiang as his backer, so he can't be easily calculated, and he will be an official in the DPRK and the Central Committee in the future, and he must see the situation clearly, so that he can be considered safer.

"Li Shilang shouldn't have thought that now that he is an official of the imperial court ordered by the emperor himself, he has other thoughts, right?" Wei Xiang smiled slightly, and looked at Li Yaoji with a pair of sharp eyes.

Li Yaoji was instantly clear, and Wei Xiang was deliberately testing himself.

Thinking of this, Li Yaoji hurriedly lowered his head again, with an extremely respectful attitude.

"The lower official will never dare, since the lower official has been put under the wing of the Wei Minister, he will always honor you. As for the other colleagues who came to be introduced by the DPRK and China, the lower officials will stay away, and only the Minister of Defense will look forward, and please rest assured that the Minister of Wei will be reassured. ”

Seeing that he was extremely sincere and loyal, Wei Xiang nodded and smiled.

"Since we are already a family, why should you be so cautious, you can't be so nervous in front of me in the future, I'm just joking, don't take it to heart. There will be more places where you will be needed in the future! ”

Wei Xiang picked up Li Yaoji, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled faintly at him.

Li Yaoji understood and laughed.

Li Yaoji has been promoted all the way, and some people feel worried.

The prime minister was drinking tea, and several important ministers under his hand came together.

He bowed slightly, and saw the worried looks of several officials, as if something big had happened.

He put the teacup down and asked, "What's the matter, your expressions are so ugly?" ”

Several officials couldn't help but say, "Prime Minister, don't you think the current situation is very critical?" ”

"Critical? You are talking about Li Yaoji's smooth promotion. ”

The prime minister stroked his beard, looking unconcerned.

"I know, but what's the solution? He has the ability to heal the flood and solve the problem in the emperor's heart, and we can't stop it. ”

The Prime Minister did feel powerless.

The extremely ministers below all looked worried, this time Li Yaoji under Wei Xiang's hand became the squire of Zhongshu Province, and the pattern of the court and China will change again in the future, for fear that it will be unfavorable to them.

Although he is the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, the people under him are political enemies and Wei Xiang, which really teaches him some worries.

"I think the power of Wei Xiang should not be underestimated, you see his daughter, now that he has become the queen, he has become the royal father-in-law, and he is one level higher than us."

"If she helps the emperor give birth to a son again, and Prime Minister Wei sits more steadily, wouldn't it be even more difficult to bring him down?"

After the civil official finished speaking, he didn't forget to clap his hands excitedly, and sighed in the face of the prime minister.

This Wei Xiang, as if God helped him! His daughter ascended to the back position, and now the people under him have been promoted in a row.

The prime minister listened to their words and me, all of them were raising the prestige of the prime minister, and for a while he felt noisy, so he frowned and interrupted their words.

"Okay, what's the use of worrying about that now? It's better to think about taking advantage of the fact that the relationship between them is still not stable, and discuss how to pull this person over and use it for us. ”

After thinking about it carefully, the people on the other side also felt very much.

Since they want to disintegrate the strength of Wei Xiang, they must strive to let Li Yaoji join their team.

"If Prime Minister Wei knows, I'm afraid he won't give up."

"You think wrong, he Li Yaoji is just a poor official, as long as we are willing to work hard, he will naturally use us when he sees the benefits."

The prime minister's eyes narrowed, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

A group of important ministers in the court only felt that this method could be used, so they went back to prepare the gold, and asked someone to carry it to Li Yaoji.

Li Yaoji stayed in the mansion, and since he was promoted, many officials have come to the door endlessly, but they have all been rejected by him one by one.

When the prime minister's people came to the front of the house, they said to the guards guarding the door, "It's troublesome, so let's say that the prime minister sent someone to meet Li Shilang." ”

Hearing that it was the prime minister's people coming, they naturally did not dare to slack off. Hurriedly introduced people into the house.

Li Yaoji was also stunned when he heard that it was the prime minister's person who came to ask for a meeting.
