The Imperial Study.

Xiaopang was dealing with the music, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and others were also there, and when they saw Li Qing and Zhu Zhanji coming in, they stopped their movements and got up to salute:

"Meet the Imperial Lady...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen Li Shangshu. ”

"No courtesy." Zhu Zhanji walked up to his father and sat down.

Li Qingchao bowed slightly, and before he could salute Xiaopang, he heard Xiaopang's 'free courtesy', so he also found a place to sit down, not moving like a mountain.

"Something?" Chubby asked.

Li Qing nodded: "Something." ”

Xiaopang waited for Li Qing to follow, but Li Qing didn't follow.

Realizing that Li Qing was inconvenient to speak, Xiaopang raised his eyes and looked at Yang Shiqi and the others.

They are all old oilmen in the officialdom, and their ability to observe words and emotions is first-class, and several people hurriedly got up and found an excuse to retire.

After a few people retreated, Chubby asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard the crown prince say, the emperor wants to improve the status of the cabinet?" Li Qing asked.

"Well, somebody has to do something." Xiaopang spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "There are so many recitals every day, I can't be busy alone, and the six books are not all with me, and it is difficult to implement a national policy, there is no way, except for the cabinet, I can't think of any other way." ”

"But have you ever thought that what if the cabinet is not with you anymore?"

"If that's the case, it's really no one." Xiaopang sighed: "Since ancient times, emperors have been lonely, and in the end, the monarchs and ministers must not be single-minded, which is inevitable;

But if the cabinet is not used, who knows that it will not be won over by the people of the six ministries, what will happen at that time? ”

Li Qing was speechless.

Xiaopang said metaphorically: "It's like being born to die, knowing that you will die, don't you live?" ”

This logic is impeccable, and Li Qing doesn't know how to refute it.

So he compromised: "You can raise it appropriately, but you can't mention too much, if the bread is too big, they won't be hungry, and their enthusiasm and loyalty will be greatly reduced;

In short, the pie should be painted a little bit! ”

"Li Qing is right." Zhu Zhanji helped.

Xiaopang was a little worried, "It's too small, I'm afraid they won't be able to compete with the six parts!" ”

"It's not as troublesome as you think." Li Qing analyzed, "I am of the same mind as you, although Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji are united with the civilian clique, but the former is with the mud, and the latter is clear on the major rights and wrongs, and it is not as bad as you think." ”

After a pause, "You have to keep three points in mind,

First, the cabinet must not meddle in the army, this is the bottom line!

Second, the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of officials must be held in their hands, and at the same time, officials and officials only have the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions, and the cabinet cannot even have the right to make recommendations;

Third, it is financial power, and the cabinet cannot be allowed to get involved! ”

After a deep groan, he added: "The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, these two departments are the top priorities, if you can, try to draw them to your side." ”

Chubby nodded: "I know this, I moved them to cry yesterday." ”

Li Qing gave a thumbs up, "Nothing else." ”

Considering that Li Qing's reputation is already stinky, Xiaopang, who doesn't want his reputation to be even more stinky, said: "Ming'er will try the water first, and you won't go to the morning court." ”

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed, he still wanted to show off in front of Li Qing tomorrow, but now he has no chance.

……

As soon as he left the palace gate, Li Qing met Yang Shiqi and a few others.

Several people stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Li Shangshu." ”

"Huh...... Ladies and gentlemen. Li Qing said a perfunctory sentence and wanted to leave.

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Li Shangshu is the person relied on by the emperor, and he is the minister who was left by the emperor to the emperor. ”

"Yes," Jin Youzi continued, "Among the six departments, Li Shangshu can share worries and solve problems for the emperor, and I hope that Li Shangshu will work tirelessly, for the sake of the society, for the emperor's ......."

Li Qing was quite tired, and said lightly: "The food monarch is worried about the king, and you don't need to remind you of this." ”

"Li Shangshu misunderstood." Yang Rong saw that his face was impatient, and said, "The emperor is determined to let the people live a good life, however, there are always people who say high-sounding words to hinder the emperor's ideas.

However, the ability is limited after all;

Li Shangshu has outstanding ability, deep understanding of righteousness, and character... Exceptional ......"

Yang Rong has a conscience......

The person who said it responded, and the person who listened responded to it, and Li Qing got goosebumps.

I wanted to send a few people out of the house, but after thinking about it, these people really have the same goal as him now, they can be regarded as allies, and it is unknown how they will be in the future, at least they can be used now.

Thinking of this, Li Qing smiled and said: "Several of them are talented, why are they so arrogant? ”

"Where, Li Shangshu has won the award." Yang Rong said modestly: "We are far from Li Shangshu. ”

"Oh? Haha......" Li Qing laughed.

Seeing him like this, several people suddenly had a score in their hearts, waiting for Li Qing's next words.

Li Qing smiled and said, "If you have time, you might as well come to this official mansion to talk about it." ”

"I don't dare to ask for it." Yang Rong said with a smile.

Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi also hurriedly gave up their hands, "Then bother." ”

~

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

Good wine and good food are all together, and a few people talk about wine, but it is still out of the tentative stage, so no one mentions anything about government affairs, just business blows to each other.

In fact, Yang Shiqi and the others were very anxious, they wanted to be honest with each other, but because of Li Qing's character, they had to act cautiously.

Come up and open your heart, in case Li Qing sells them back, it will be sad.

In their concept, Li Qing did this.

Without him, the hands of people are not short, the mouth of eating people is not soft, the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty are well known, and no matter how good it is, this Shangshu can do it, and they must leave a way out.

If there is a choice, they are not willing to cooperate with Li Qing when they are killed, but the Shangshu of the other five departments all look down on them and don't take them to play, and only Li Qing is unsociable.

However, after drinking this wine, through careful observation, they felt that the feasibility of cooperation was very great.

The first temptation was met with the satisfaction of the cabinet members.

After the banquet dispersed, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and they were reluctant to part.

……

Next.

Li Qing woke up naturally from sleep, got up and washed, took a fishing rod and went to the pond to fish.

In the hot summer, leaning on the chaise longue in the shade of the tree, there is an ice bucket beside you, and there are seasonal fruits and fruit wine in the bucket, which can be reached by reaching out, which is called a comfort.

Wanling is a female celebrity, and Red Sleeves and Lianxiang are older, so they can't be female celebrities anymore, so they play on the side.

A gust of wind came, the willow branches danced and swayed, quiet and peaceful.

The fish floated twice, and the ground sank into the water, Li Qing's wrist flicked, and a fat fish struggled for a moment and flew out of the water.

Li Qing lifted the bamboo basket and caught it steadily, and said with a smile: "The fish soup at noon is here, let the next person do it in advance, if it is too hot, there will be no appetite." ”

Wanling put down the female red in her hand, and stepped forward with a smile: "Got it." ”

"Also, after doing this, don't do it in the future." Li Qing hummed unquestioningly.

"Oh~Okay." Wan Ling nodded, turned around, saw Zhu Zhanji coming, and hurriedly saluted, "The Li family has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"No courtesy." Zhu Zhanji caught a glimpse of the fish in the bamboo basket and said with a smile, "I have taken it orally today." ”

Red Sleeves and Lianxiang put down the endgame and got up to salute: "The Li family has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"You don't have to be formal." Zhu Zhanji was in a good mood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The three daughters knew that the prince had official business with his husband, so they retired together.

Li Qing didn't like this guy who was bad at the scenery, so he simply pretended not to hear it and continued to lean on the chair to fish.

Zhu Zhanji stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Li Qing." ”

Li Qing turned around: "Yo, have you changed your clothes?" ”

"Ang," Zhu Zhanji smiled, "You also know that I was canonized as a prince!?" ”

"......" Li Qing silently turned his head and continued to fish, just answering the conversation.

Zhu Zhanji touched his nose, and simply walked in front of Li Qing to look left and right, dressed in a bright prince's suit, so that Li Qingyu couldn't see it.

"You ......"

"Does this dress still fit?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

“…… Fit. Li Qing is also convinced: Look at you proudly!

Raising his hand to pull him aside, "What did you say this morning?" ”

"It's a commotion." Zhu Zhanji said with great interest, "The Sixth Ministry and the cabinet are in the court, and they are arguing, you don't know how exciting it is." ”

When Li Qing heard this, he regretted that he didn't go today.

"Who won in the end?"

"Does that need to be said?" Zhu Zhanji said, "Of course the cabinet is completely defeated!" ”
