Chapter 381: Loyalty and Caution
After separating from the others, Li Xu was not as he said, and this matter had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, he walked quickly through the courtyard and came to the door of Kangxi's study.
Liang Jiugong was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Li Xu's figure, he smiled slightly.
"Master Li is here? Long live you are waiting for you. ”
Li Xu wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "Is it the minister's no, he actually let the minister wait for the minister." ”
The two of them walked inside one after the other, and Li Xu asked Liang Jiugong softly: "Father-in-law, is Long Live Lord in a good mood?" ”
Liang Jiugong remembered the box of silver tickets and treasures that had been sent to him by someone before, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.
"Master Li, rest assured, what a wise person Lord Banzai is, he naturally knows who is loyal and who is traitorous, and he will never misunderstand his loyal ministers."
A plausible word, both of them got what they wanted.
Look at each other and smile, everything is silent.
Liang Jiugong introduced Li Xu into the study, but Kangxi didn't look at the excerpts at this time.
He had drunk a lot of wine at the banquet just now, and he was sitting on the chaise longue under the window to sober up.
Beckoned to Li Xu, "Come and sit." ”
Li Xu moved a small stool to sit next to Kangxi, and he didn't dare to sit on his buttocks, only one-third of the stool surface.
Liang Jiugong served tea to Kangxi and Li Xu, and stepped back with his waist bent, giving up the space to Kangxi and Li Xu.
Kangxi took a sip and said lightly: "Let's talk about it, what did you find after you came." ”
Li Xu tasted a hint of strangeness, put the teacup aside, and knelt down directly to plead guilty.
"Long live the lord, it was the slaves who failed to manage the officials and rich gentry of Suzhou City, and they dared to calculate the long live lord, and they also collided with Princess Yujing!"
"The slave is guilty, please long live the lord to punish him!"
Kangxi didn't even look at him, and his eyes fell directly on the elegant scenery outside the window.
"I know that there are indeed some problems in Suzhou Mansion, but ...... It's Cao Yin who took office, and it's you who took office. ”
"Do you want to tell me that your brother-in-law has a bad relationship with you, so he deliberately left you a mess in Suzhou City?"
"Or is the current situation all indulged by Cao Yin?"
Kangxi's tone was light, but every word was like a boulder weighing a thousand pounds, smashing on Li Xu's head, making him almost faint.
He and Cao Yin are grasshoppers on a rope, and it is impossible to put the crime on Cao Yin's head in order to exonerate himself.
But now, Long Live Ye clearly thought of Cao Yin, who took over as a weaver in Suzhou.
"Long live the lord, the slave and Lord Cao are both loyal to you, and there are no two hearts!"
Kangxi rubbed the rim of the cup, "Loyalty, and careful thinking do not conflict." ”
The cold sweat on Li Xu's back trickled down, wetting the clothes behind him.
"You may want to take this opportunity to dig out all the people in Suzhou who disagree with you, or maybe you have already made arrangements so that you won't let these people disturb my eyes......"
For Li Xu, Kangxi naturally understands.
At this time, he said Li Xu's thoughts and calculations sentence by sentence, and Li Xu, who was kneeling on the ground, could only smile bitterly.
"Yes, the minions did take advantage of their calculations, but they still went wrong......
In fact, it may not be a mistake, after all, Princess Yujing was unharmed.
But for the emperor who feels sorry for the princess, the offense of the lower person to the princess is the greatest harm.
Li Xu could only obediently admit his mistake.
But...... This also made him realize once again how deep the emperor's love for Princess Yujing is.
If this matter were replaced by other princes, even the crown prince, or the emperor himself, maybe the emperor might not be so angry.
Everyone has a love for beauty, if there is a woman who fancy, it will be pampered, and it is not a big deal.
But they shouldn't, they shouldn't, they just shouldn't offend Princess Yujing!
Kangxi looked at Li Xu sharply, "I don't want this to happen again, and I don't want someone who doesn't have long eyes to disturb Tang Bao'er's mood." Got it? ”
His sugar treasure is obviously the identity of Jin Zun and Yugui, when will he be able to tolerate others to be offended? !
"As for those two people today, you can watch and dispose of them."
Li Xu hurriedly responded, secretly reminding himself that he must not let go of those two gently.
Kangxi let Li Xu go, and glanced at him, "Okay, get up, such an adult, I don't have the eyesight to see at all." ”
Li Xu's face was full of grateful smiles, "Long live the grace of Lord Xie!" ”
The emperor is angry, can he not kneel? It can't be disgusted that the head stays too comfortable on the neck, right?
"Tell me about what happened after you came to Suzhou."
"Huh."
To report this, Li Xu had already prepared.
I saw him speak confidently and talk eloquently, this period of time when he first arrived in Suzhou seemed to be nothing, but in fact, the relationship between officials and businesses in the city was almost arranged.
There may be Cao Yin who left him help before he left office, but more importantly, it is Li Xu's own ability.
Kangxi was dual-minded, and from time to time raised rhetorical questions and requirements for Li Xu's words.
Half an afternoon had passed before the discussion was over.
"Alright, let's get here today."
When the business was over, Li Xu, who had already relaxed, thought about it and asked Kangxi with a smile: "I don't know if tonight, can the Lord Long Live appreciate the light and let the servants invite you to dinner?" ”
Kangxi didn't drink much, and he had already regained his sobriety at this time.
He glanced at Li Xu, "Oh? What made Master Li so confident to invite me? ”
Li Xu smiled and scratched his head, "It's not confident, it's just some meals made by the women in the family, which are definitely not as good as the chef's skills, but they are still admissible." ”
Kangxi thought about it, there was really nothing to do at night, and he had to continue to shape his favor for Li Xu, so it didn't hurt to go to his house for dinner.
"Okay, then you can arrange it."
After speaking, before Li Xu could laugh, Kangxi glared at him again, "If something like this happens in the afternoon again, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
"Where can I do that?" Li Xu immediately made a bitter face, "If this kind of thing can still happen in the slave's family, then don't do this Suzhou weaving slave, it's better to just hit your head and die." ”
Kangxi snorted lightly, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." ”
Li Xu hurriedly pleaded guilty, "Yes, yes, the slave will let people go back and tell him, he will definitely not let the messy people collide with the princess." ”
Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead." ”
"I will stay in Suzhou City for a while, and during this time, you will be allowed to rely on my power and act cheaply."
Li Xu raised his head and found that Kangxi had almost written the words "fox fake tiger might" on his face.
Immediately laughed too.
"The minions obey. We will not let Banzai Ye down! ”
