Emperor Zhao Xu was angry, and the big thing turned into a matter of setting up a memorial arch after passing through the mouth of the minister he once trusted.

Is this a matter of erecting a torii?

This is not a matter of the torii, but a matter of whether the courtiers are loyal or not.

However, when Zhao Xu's eyes swept over the Manchu civil and military forces who he had identified as the minister of the humerus, he sadly found that no one thought that Xing Shu's almost absurd assumption was false. This is a problem, it is not that there are no fools who can be emperors, but most of them are smart people, extremely smart people.

Zhao Xu was no exception, he quickly thought, if Li Kui was judged to be a rebellious minister and thief, who would put down the chaos?

Now, Li Kui is just out of control, leaving the court in a negative mood, and he does not want to betray the Great Song Dynasty. If this forces people to be anxious and rebels, who can stop him?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu suddenly felt as if he had been delayed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and he collapsed.

He was deceived again, before he did not object to the deprivation of Li Kui's military power, he didn't think much about it, but simply noticed that Li Kui's reputation in the army was a bit high, and he needed to press it. This is something that every emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is particularly concerned about, after all, his ancestor came to the world by relying on soldiers. If there is a rebellion, can the Great Song Dynasty still be able to keep it?

originally thought that Li Kui would endure it, but he didn't think about what to do if Li Kui couldn't bear it?

Zhao Xu had no choice but to lament, he knew that it was worth recovering the sixteen states of Youyun and giving Li Kui the crown.

The prince doesn't care about anything, and the courtiers don't have the capital to attack the prince, so Li Kui will naturally not be angry. For the court, it is just an extra amount of money and food, which is also convenient.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu glanced at Xing Shu in disgust, held back the anger in his heart, and said in an unhurried tone: "Xing Qing still has a good plan?" ”

"Your Majesty, we deeply feel the filial piety of Master Li, and the mere enclosure is not enough to demonstrate the gift of my court, so we should show his benevolence and filial piety, and we cannot let the loyal and filial people be unknown." Xing Shu has no choice, it seems that it is not enough to give Li Mu a memorial arch, and he has to coax Li Kui well.

The emperor was bored for a moment, he seemed to know that there was no result in any further discussion, so he waved his hand weakly and said: "The Hanlin Academy has drafted a decree to let Xing Qing have a hard trip." ”

Xing Shu lowered his head, and almost lay on the ground, after he listened to the shout of 'retreat', there was a cold snort around him. Obviously, his return to the DPRK this time has annoyed many people. What made him even more painful was that the emperor seemed to have given him up and asked him to confess his mistake to Li Kui in person. Otherwise, this errand would not have fallen on him.

A good idea?

Xing Shu is definitely gone, and the best way is to trick Li Kui and then kill him.

But Li Kui is so decisive, is he a master who can be easily coaxed?

I can't deceive it, so I can only coax it and be a master.

Didn't you see Zhang Dian and make a sound?

Zhang Kui's character will never endure Li Kui's arrogant resistance. Xing Shu guessed that Zhang Dian must have sent a secret letter to his brother Zhang Qi, asking who would lead the troops to quell the rebellion if he forced Li Kui to rebel?

The results may have left Zhang Dun frustrated.

Zhang Qi felt that he would definitely lose, otherwise Zhang Dian would not pretend to be very innocent and be a good person.

This old man is very stubborn, unless he can't beat him, otherwise he will never be so easy to speak.

Xing Shu could only secretly complain, he was the mastermind behind the elimination of Li Kui. Of course, it may not be really removed, at most, Li Kui will be degraded to Qiongzhou.

Xing Shu received an appointment from the imperial court the next day as the Minister of Xuanzhi.

Xing Shu is not too worried about his own life, Li Kui is not a hostile country, so he doesn't have to worry about his life like the current envoy to Liao, once the other party's mood is not good, he will have to worry about his life.

Li Kui is still nominally an important minister of the minister, as long as Li Kui does not raise the anti-flag for a day, Xing Shu does not have to worry about his own life. Even if he behaved tougher, and even pointed at Li Kui's nose and scolded, as long as it didn't touch the depths of Li Kui's soul, he wouldn't have to worry about his life.

On behalf of the imperial court, a hundred pro-soldiers who were also given extra favor and received the emperor's favor, Xing Shu shook his heart and prepared to go on the road, and decided not to give Li Kui a good look.

Baokang Gate, Bachelor's Lane, Li House.

The owner of the mansion has been emptied, but Li Qing, who had nothing to do with this big mansion, stayed and became the owner of this big mansion.

On the one hand, he is getting rid of the business on the surface, and the warehouses near the docks and the warehouses near the city gates are being sold one after another.

But how people will be evacuated, he has not yet figured it out.

And he has had a headache recently, and people who are obviously irrelevant have suddenly come to him, as if he has been wronged, and look for him to find a way out.

For example, this is the case with the person in front of you.

"Brother Lu, my brother is just temporarily retreating and avoiding the edge, and he will still enter the court in the future. His age, wasting a few years, is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing. Li Qing said with a headache, Li Kui was promoted too quickly, and if he wants to continue to be promoted, he will be able to achieve the position of deputy minister in three or five years.

There has never been a civil official in the Great Song Dynasty who can serve as a deputy minister when he is in his twenties or less than thirty. Even Kou Zhun was in his thirties, and he only sat in the position of governor when he was almost forty years old. This belongs to the deputy minister, the deputy of the same Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi. Kou Zhun was considered too young by the officialdom back then, and was suppressed for several years, until he was in his forties, he took the position of prime minister.

Li Kui is now more than ten years younger than Kou Zhun, and if he really sits in such a high position, I'm afraid who won't be able to sleep. Even the emperor is no exception.

The merit is so great that there is no seal, and there is no reward.

Such a person is destined to have no good end.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu also thinks that Xing Shu is very discerning, Li Kui needs to be suppressed, and he needs to be sharpened for at least ten years before he can be reused. But you can't force people to jump over the wall, the means are too intense, it's not a good thing, it's easy to make a big mess.

Compared with Li Qing's calmness, Luda sat on the opposite side, picked up the wine urn on the dining table and poured it indiscriminately, and said angrily: "Thief bird, the master is a deputy commander on the front line and the commander of the infantry army, but in a blink of an eye, he was summoned to the capital and was almost under house arrest." If the marshal is really not loyal to the court, it will be a fictitious matter, and there is no suspicion of the court heroes, what is the meaning of this bird official. This matter is in the hands of the big handsome, if I were old and reluctant, I would have reversed it a long time ago. ”

"What is the opposite, you are the official of the Great Song Dynasty, and my brother is the official of the Great Song Dynasty. Ruda, you talk nonsense all day long, not only will you not help my brother, but you will also hurt him. Li Qing pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

From his eyes, he couldn't see any dissatisfaction with Ruda, but there was more sympathy.

"Okay, I'll also follow the commander to be a loyal minister, okay?"

Luda has a straight personality, he doesn't look at all the shortcomings of the children of the Great Song Forbidden Army, he is lazy and troublesome. But when it comes to morality, he is definitely one of the few people around Li Kui.

Except for Hua Rong, I'm afraid it's just him.

Luda pouted and said: "Look at me, I am a rough man who led the troops to kill, but now I am in the imperial city every day, and I am still looked down upon by the villain. ”

"Besides, Dashuai accepted Ruan Xiaoer, he can't even tolerate me, an old subordinate, right?"

This is a bit heart-wrenching, I don't know why I heard it, and I thought Li Kui was favoring one over the other? But Li Qing was unmoved and said: "Brother Lu, the second brother is different. ”

"Ruan Xiaoer's platoon is not as good as me? He can do it, why can't I? ”

Ruda was not convinced.

Li Qing was helpless, so he had to explain patiently: "He is the Li family. ”

"He is a member of the Li family, why can't he be too? I also worked as a housekeeper for Dashuai for two days. Luda made it clear that he didn't want to continue to live in the capital, and he was aggrieved.

Li Qing said with a headache: "The reason why my second brother didn't tell you before was that I was afraid that today, you would have to leave one by one." Brother Lu, you are now a general in the army, and it is easy to find a good family with your current status. When the matter of the second brother leaving the court is completely forgotten, maybe two or three years, maybe three or five years, you will be reused. In the future, when you open up the branches of the old Lu family, you are also a member of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Let the old dog live? Bah, I can't live this day. Luda knew that Li Qing was telling the truth, and when the court forgot about Li Kui, he would still be able to return to the army and become a general who commanded the army. But he was not happy, not only was he unhappy, but he also thought about defecting to Li Kui.

Now most of Li Kui's cronies in the capital will be monitored.

Luda ran by himself, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to run away, so he came to recruit Li Qing to find a way.

Li Qing said angrily: "Why don't you learn from Gao Yu, he was also called back from the front line, but he didn't say a word, as if nothing had happened, this is a smart person." ”

"Gao Yu?" Luda sneered, and then said with a disdainful gaze: "He stammered with Zhang Xiang, do you still think he is the old man?" It's long since changed. ”

Li Qing smiled: "You can also take refuge in Zhang Xiang!" Then get married and have children, and when the children grow up, it is estimated that you will be able to return to the army, so why not? ”

"I'm not interested in having a son, and I don't like women." Ruda tugged at the corners of his mouth, seemingly dissatisfied with the result.

Li Qing gasped and said in his heart: If you don't like women, you like men...... That's what kills.

"What are you afraid of? I don't like men either. Rueda explained.

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and still said with palpitations: "But is it right to find a woman to continue the bloodline, right?" ”

"We're not rare, if you're worried that you won't be able to get out, and you won't be looking for you, can you give me a good word?"

……

Li Qing was helpless, so he had no choice but to nod.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of such things in the capital, first the Military Command Bureau, and then the generals in the army.

There are always a few things that are particularly difficult to get and make it difficult for him.

But there are also people who know the times, such as Gao Yu. He saw that Li Kui's crisis had limited influence on him, so he simply took refuge in Zhang Kui. Let him abandon the glory and wealth, he is reluctant, and it is understandable to find a backer. The court also didn't seem to care about this, just turned a blind eye.

A month later, Dengzhou Pier.

Dozens of large ships lined up, as if they were heading towards the harbor in the distance.

Standing in the port, Xing Shu, who was surrounded by many officials, raised his hand and straightened his clothes, never thinking that he would see Li Kui again, and pondered to give Li Kui a little color to see.

When the fleet was near, the disdain on Xing Shu's face gradually fell, but he was frightened, and roared angrily: "Why does Li Kui have such a big ship, what does the Dengzhou sailor eat?" ”
