Chapter 217: Give Lao Li a face
Lan Tianping is also a little helpless, he has always had an ideal of prancing horse territory.
is a hero of Lao Tzu, not to mention anything else, his father Lan Yu is one of the three major military leaders of the Ming Dynasty.
But he is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, and it is a bit embarrassing to let people joke that he is playing with a pen.
But no matter what, Lan Tianping proved himself with the record of killing Goro Ouchi.
The little marquis is not a dry eater, and this matter will finally be completely blown in the future.
Lan Tianping returned home and saw his father Lan Yu directing the family to fiddle with something.
So, he hurriedly asked.
"Father, what are you doing, I can help you."
Lan Yu saw that his son was no longer the same gentleman he was at the beginning, and it was obvious that he had become more talented after doing some serious errands.
Therefore, he looked at Lan Tianping with a smile and asked.
"You kid did a really good job, even I should be impressed with you, I heard that you killed the thief leader Ouchi Goro on the coast at once?"
Lan Tianping said modestly.
"Actually, it's nothing at all, but I'm still a little depressed, after all, I have such a credit, the emperor should give me a new position, but his old man still asked me to continue to be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, but I just promoted the fourth product to the third product."
Although Lan Yu is arrogant and domineering, he still has great respect for Zhu Yuanzhang, so he said.
"You kid must not talk nonsense, after all, thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, and the opportunity for you to make contributions is also given by the imperial court, but I only understand now that you were so wise to make friends with Lu Ning, let's have a few drinks today."
When the Lan family's father and son were enjoying the wine, in Li Shanchang's mansion, Li Qi, the master of the horses, was annoyed.
Prior to this, Li Shanchang had always wanted him to devote himself to apprenticeship under Lu Ning's sect, but he was very annoyed by his strength, and he simply scoffed at him.
Not only that, but it also caused the matter of peeing and mud being put in the stable, and finally let Lu Ning kill the long history of the princess's mansion.
But at this time, he was also kneeling in front of Li Shanchang and begging his father.
"Father, my son only knew at this time that it was such a mistake not to listen to you at the beginning, and now do I have a chance to go to Lu Zi'an to apprentice again?"
Hearing this, Li Shanchang's anger is not in one place, you kid is still planning to apprentice, and it is good if people see you and don't give you a board.
In desperation, Li Shanchang had no choice but to say to Li Qi.
"Okay, you get out of here, this thing will be yellow in the future, don't think about it anymore, there is no chance at all, you just think like this, it's very good if people don't hate you."
Li Qi was also a little helpless, although he was a lieutenant of the horses, he did not have any actual official position.
In other words, he is just Princess Lin'an's inverted son-in-law, and he also wants to find something to do to prove that he just has no chance.
Therefore, after hearing Li Shanchang say this, he begged even more bitterly, wanting to seize this opportunity to go to Zhangzhou to join the army.
Although Li Shanchang was angry, Li Qi was his biological son after all, so he had to find a way to leave a way back for his son.
"Okay, don't be so useless anymore, get ready, I'll go to Your Majesty to ask for a holy decree, and see what his old man says!"
Li Qi thought to himself that if his father was willing to say something for himself, this matter would basically be completed.
"Thank you, father, that son is here waiting for your good news, but you must talk to Your Majesty about it."
Li Shanchang came to the palace, and he first talked with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time about useless idle stories.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little sleepy, and then said helplessly.
"Good elder, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be so twisting and turning, our monarchs and ministers are not so angry, you have followed me since the Dingyuan period, what can't you say directly."
Li Shanchang only kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang again at this time, and then got up and said.
"Your Majesty's canine Li Qi, although he is now a lieutenant of the horse, but he has not been awarded a real position, so he has not made any contribution to the imperial court, and the minister also wants him to have a little experience, so please put him in the Zhangzhou army to be a pawn, so that it can be useful in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, you are a good Li Shanchang, this can be regarded as leaving a way out for his son in advance.
Let him go to Zhangzhou, how can he be a pawn casually? If the horse commander of the third grade is there, if he leads the horse and carries the whip there, won't the court lose face?
In other words, as long as Li Qi arrived at the front line in Zhangzhou, he must exist as an officer.
Moreover, with Lu Ning's current state of being like a bamboo, Li Qi can be regarded as being able to pull the dragon's tail to the sky, and he will definitely be able to win some military merits.
At that time, whether it is a knight or an official, it will not matter, it seems that the good chief is really an old fox.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang has not had any prejudices against the old Huaixi department now, so there is no reason to refuse the request of this old in-law.
"Good chief, have you thought about it, Lu Ning and your family Li Qi have had a certain holiday before, if you put it in Zi'an's army, can you rest assured?"
Li Shanchang really knows Lu Ning too well, and this person is not too much to say that he will be repaid.
That's why he hacked Yang Dongfeng to death with a chaotic sword, and borrowed his head to sacrifice the flag, after all, he was a squire of the Sanpin Military Department.
With Lu Ning's temper, a horse captain like Li Qi is not as good as Yang Dongfeng's money in him.
Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is very clear, if Lu Ning communiqued his personal vendetta and disposed of Li Qi with military law, what should he do?
