Under the gazebo, the two sat opposite each other.

There is an ice bucket on the side of the table, and there are several refreshing side dishes such as cucumbers and preserved eggs on the table.

Yu Qian faintly regretted it, his little money was barely enough to spend, how could he invite him back in the future?

"What do you think?"

"No, nothing." Yu Qian shook his head a little embarrassed, and changed the topic, "Li Shangshu, I am in the court today...... Did you do it on purpose? ”

"Well, I just did it on purpose." Li Qing said bluntly, "Our Han people's favorite thing is compromise, and a literary master once said:

If you say that this room is too dark and you have to open a window here, you will not allow it; But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the windows. ”

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded his head: "This is what everyone said well, it's really like this." ”

After a pause, he said: "But today's officials can guess, and those officials can also come back to the taste of other days, don't you worry......"

"What's there to worry about?" Li Qing sandwiched a chopsticks and preserved eggs, "This is a yang scheme, the so-called reciprocating the peach for Li, the emperor has taken a step back, and the ministers naturally have to take a step back, everyone takes a step back to achieve a result that is relatively satisfactory to each other, this is an unwritten rule in the officialdom, the key points are here, you have to remember it." ”

Yu Qian nodded: "The lower official has written it down." ”

"Okay, it's almost time for the wine town, let's drink." Li Qing took out the wine jug and poured Yu Qian a glass, "How about tasting this fruit brew?" ”

Yu Qian held the cup, and when Li Qing finished pouring the wine, he raised his glass and took a sip of his lips, which was sweet and refreshing.

Good life luxury...... Yu Qian felt a sense of guilt, "Good wine." ”

"Huh...... This is made from fresh grapes, and the degree is not high, so it doesn't hurt to drink a few glasses. Li Qing smiled and went to pick up the wine jug.

"Come on." Yu Qian poured a cup for Li Qing with the pot, "Li Shangshu, the lower official has something I want to ask." ”

"You say." Li Qing tasted the wine and was content.

Yu Qian was a little embarrassed, "Li Shangshu, you know the cultivation of the lower officials, the lower officials know it, but ......"

"Do you want to talk about promotion?"

"Ahh Yu Qian's face was hot, and he mustered up the courage to say, "Xia Guan thinks that he has worked very hard, and he has also made some merits and reached the qualification for promotion. ”

Indeed, Yu Qian has been in this position in the capital for more than four years, and he has qualifications and merits, and it is more than enough to be promoted to the next level.

However, there has been no movement so far, and he is somewhat anxious.

There is no one who does not want to be promoted, especially Li Qing's sentence: in his position, seek his government; It made him eager to be promoted.

Although it is a position with real power, it is limited after all, and if he wants to make a career, he must be promoted.

"With your qualifications and merits, it is enough to be delegated to be a prefect," Li Qing said, "However, I prefer that you stay in Beijing, the role you can play in the local area is limited after all, but in Beijing, it is different, you can see the essence better here, and there are greater opportunities." ”

"Xia Guan understands, it's just ......"

"Don't worry." Li Qing smiled and said, "Your age is the time for training, and it is not a bad thing to precipitate more." ”

Yu Qian nodded sneeringly, and felt that he was too utilitarian, "Let the adults laugh." ”

"Huh? It is everyone's ideal to be promoted and make a fortune, so there is no need to be embarrassed. ”

"The lower officials don't want to get rich." Yu Qian explained.

Li Qing sighed secretly, this is also the reason why he has not promoted Yu Qian.

In this murky officialdom, being a clean official is itself an original sin.

If you are above board, others will not play with you.

It is the best choice to be with the light and dust, as long as you stick to your heart and do good things for the benefit of the country and the people.

But Li Qing didn't say these words after all, Yu Qian is not a fool, he won't not understand this truth, but he still chooses to do it.

Everyone has their own path, and Li Qing is not qualified to make decisions for Yu Qian.

I can only teach him experience as much as possible, so that he can take fewer detours and run into fewer walls.

"Come, drink......"

"Hey, okay."

'Ding' touched the cup, and Li Qing drank it all, "Eat vegetables, if you come to my house and go out hungry, my reputation will stink." ”

Do you still have a reputation? Yu Qian resisted the urge to complain, and nodded with a smirk.

"Yo, what's going on?" Zhu Zhanji strode with a spring breeze on his face, and the housekeepers in the house couldn't keep up.

"Master, the imperial grandson is here."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the housekeeper, "Call me the prince in the future." ”

"Yes," the butler said, "Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

"Stand down." Li Qing waved off the cramped housekeeper.

Yu Qian hurriedly saluted: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Ahaha...... Waiver of courtesy, just decided, has not been officially canonized. Zhu Zhanji said, "When it is canonized tomorrow, it is not too late to change his words." ”

Then you still let the housekeeper in my house change his words...... Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Is there something wrong with the imperial grandson?" ”

If Zhu Zhanji can have anything, he just came to Li Qingxian.

"Look at what you said, can't I come if it's okay?" Zhu Zhanji walked to the table and sat down, "Come on, come on, let's drink together." ”

encountered such a person who didn't treat himself as an outsider, Li Qing lost his temper and ordered people to add wine and food.

……

Yu Qian was a little restrained, didn't drink much, and rarely ate food.

It was Zhu Zhanji, who was not polite at all, grabbed the preserved eggs for a while, came the latest, and ate the most.

"Yu Qian, did you come to Li Qing's Mansion to talk about business?" Zhu Zhanji put down his wine glass and asked casually.

"Uh...... Not really. Yu Qian was a little embarrassed.

"What's that?" Zhu Zhanji is familiar with himself, and quipped: "You don't want Li Qing to give you a promotion, right?" ”

Yu Qian's face turned even redder, and he got up crampedly: "The imperial grandson, the lower officials still have official business, so they will be lost first." ”

"Are you really looking for Li Qing to be promoted?" Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "If you want to be promoted to find me, am I not better at talking than him?" ”

Yu Qian has never been so embarrassed when he is so old, "Xia Guan is out of company." ”

After all, he almost ran away.

"This Yu Qian is really interesting." Zhu Zhanji looked at Yu Qian's distant back, and was overjoyed.

"It's almost done, save some face." Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "Why didn't you find out before, you owe it so much." ”

"Heh, are you embarrassed to say me?" Zhu Zhanji said speechlessly: "In terms of debt, I can't compare to you." ”

Li Qing was too lazy to argue with him: "I have eaten, I have drunk, I have pretended, I have nothing else, you go back first, I am going to take a nap." ”

Zhu Zhanji said unhappily: "The court will open a Yulu for you, and you will take a nap?" ”

"There was no fight," Li Qing shrugged, "What else can I do?" ”

"There are many things that can be done, such as ......"

"I'm old." Li Qing interrupted the spell casting.

"......" Zhu Zhanji: "How can you sleep at your age?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"I will be able to sleep a lot in the future, while I can still do it, do more things, and he will go down in history ......"

Li Qing interrupted with a calm face: "Please leave as soon as possible in a mellow way, otherwise I may not be able to help but make a move." ”

"Rounded?" Zhu Zhanji scratched his head and couldn't understand, "Okay, I'm not poor anymore, but when it comes to something, it's really a little bit." ”

"What?"

"It's not big, it's not small." Zhu Zhanji said, "My father...... Father, the emperor, intends to support the cabinet. ”

Li Qing frowned: "Why?" ”

"Because they are obedient."

Li Qing thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "What do you think of the pros and cons of this?" ”

"In the short term, it's good, but in the long run, it's not good." Zhu Zhanji said truthfully, "The purpose of the emperor's grandfather to set up a cabinet is to help the emperor deal with internal affairs, to be honest, this power is already very large, so they are only given the official position of the fifth grade;

The cabinet ministers are humble and powerful, but the ones who really have the final say in the court are the six Shangshu and the squire. Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "But if you give them high-ranking officials, then this balance will be broken." ”

Li Qing nodded: "You can think of it, and your father can also think of it, did you ask him?" ”

"He consulted with me." Zhu Zhanji said, "He asked me if I had the confidence to suppress the cabinet after I ascended the throne in the future." ”

"And then?"

"And I said yes."

"......" Li Qing glanced at him, "Really?" ”

Zhu Zhanji sneered, and said confidently: "It's just a small cabinet, suppress it, I'll do it with my hands, why are you going?" ”

"Find your father." Li Qingtou didn't reply.
