……
Compared with the joy at home, Li Quan's life in the yamen was not so good, not only because of the cold wind and the inability to close the door, but also because of an official who came from Kyoto.
The purpose of this official's coming here is very clear. He heard that the prefect of Bizhou was selling one-third of the land in Bizhou for almost free, so he came here to investigate.
Although the imperial court didn't care about the land distribution of the states and counties, it was too amazing to sell one-third of a city at one go.So I have to take a look. If the matter is true, the prefect of Bizhou must be to blame.
Li Quan didn't expect that this matter would bring trouble to the court, and he also knew that what he did was disgraceful. If his identity was found out again and this transaction was found to be a big show, he might not be able to play the emperor.
Although I have some relationship with the emperor's old son, if the emperor knows that he has swallowed his country, it is not impossible for his relatives to deny him when he gets angry.
So this matter can be a bit troublesome!
Li Quan only thought it was a nuisance, but other people in the yamen thought it was a disaster. They had nothing to do with the emperor.
The hatred in their hearts!It's all Master Li's fault!But what can be said now?The imperial envoys have already arrived, and I can only pray to God that this matter will pass smoothly.
The mission of the imperial envoy came here was obtained from the gossip. As for whether it is accurate or not, it is still open to question, but there has been no major incident in Bizhou recently, and the only thing that can alert the emperor to send the imperial envoy here is the business in the south of the city.After thinking about it before and after contacting, Li Quan concluded that the imperial envoy came to investigate the transaction in the south of the city.
It can be predicted that there is a gap between the reality and the imperial envoy, knowing that the imperial envoy came, and sat with Li Quan in the Tianfeng Tower. After drinking for three rounds, the imperial envoy didn't say a word about the south of the city.On the contrary, he was very polite to Li Quan, without any airs of being an official.
Li Quan couldn't understand it, and the officials who followed Li Quan couldn't understand it even more.This is not the first time that Bizhou has welcomed imperial envoys. Which of them didn't come here with their heads held high, pointing fingers at everyone, opening their mouths to the emperor, and shutting their mouths to the emperor?It's not like this Mr. Zhao has been gossiping happily all the time, not only doesn't mention a word to the emperor, but his words are a bit flattering to Li Quan.It is said that Mr. Zhao is still the servant of the household department.
"Master Li, it's really a good job for you to work in this Bizhou. The mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and there is no one to guard you. You don't have to follow those rules. I really envy Zhao. Come, let's have another drink. "Master Zhao, who is over half a century old, smiled heartily and kept trying to persuade him to drink.
Li Quan couldn't hide things in his heart, and he was not familiar with the ways of pretending in the officialdom, so he always felt that Mr. Zhao was deliberately avoiding those topics.
Why didn't he say it?
This made Li Quan very distressed.
Because I am troubled, I want to ask first.
Li Quan drank the wine, then lowered his voice and said, "Master Zhao, if your guess is correct, you must have come to Bizhou this time for the south of the city, right?"
Mr. Zhao didn't expect Li Quan to ask directly, but his expression still didn't change. He got up with a smile, walked to the window of the private room, and looked at the scenery of Bijiang.
Li Quan understood what the other party meant, and also got up and walked to Mr. Zhao.
It was convenient for the two of them to gather at the window and talk.
"It's good that Mr. Li knows these things. The emperor really asked me to come here to have a look, saying that there are some problems in the south of Bizhou City. But, everyone knows, how can the emperor make things difficult for Mr. Li? This time, it was just Prince Jing who sent back the news , saying that Master Li has gone too far here. After all, the emperor and Prince Jing are cousin brothers, and Prince Jing’s face must be given anyway. Of course, Prince Jing’s face is naturally not as big as Master Li’s. In order to give Prince Jing an explanation , I always need someone to come down and take a look, it’s just a formality, just pretending, you don’t have to worry, Mr. Li, Zhao knows what to say and what not to say.”
Master Zhao's words are a bit ambiguous.Anyway, he is also a second-rank servant, three levels higher than a magistrate, why does he sound like he is flattering himself?
Is there such a relationship between Lao Tzu and the emperor?It seems that everyone in the capital knows it, but I am still at a loss!
"This..." Li Quan looked a bit embarrassed, "Lord Zhao, I want to ask you something."
"Why did Mr. Li say that? If you refuse to ask, you must know everything."
"Looking at Mr. Zhao's appearance, he seems to know what relationship I have with the emperor? I just want to ask, what is the relationship between me and the emperor?"
"This..." Master Zhao was at a loss for words, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "How can you talk nonsense about this, I... I don't know. Master Li should find a chance to ask the emperor himself!"
"I don't know? I don't know, so I'm going to the next official again..."
"What's the relationship? How can we, as courtiers, dare to guess randomly? It's just that Lord Li and the emperor both have the surname Li, and the emperor's attitude towards the Li family is obvious to all. In short, no matter what the relationship is, Lord Li's success is a certainty. Oh q day Mr. Zhao talks too much, Mr. Li must not spread these words, or Mr. Zhao will lose his head!"
Although the words were serious, there was no panic on his face.
Li Quan had a bitter face, feeling that he was also committing a second crime. How could he get an answer to such a question?
"Lord Li, why do you have a sad face? If you don't understand some things, don't think about it. How many things did the emperor do that we ordinary people can guess? The reason is not important, the important thing is that Master Li knows the result. The emperor will not harm you, but will praise you. In the future, Lord Li will definitely have a place in the court, and Zhao does not ask for anything else, but I hope that Lord Li will not forget the love he has for sitting with me."
"Definitely." Li Quan responded stiffly, still a little uncomfortable with the official accent for the first time.
However, knowing that it was a false alarm, Li Quan relaxed a lot.
Mr. Zhao did not forget his purpose of coming here, he just went through the motions, and he didn't intend to stay in Bizhou for a long time.After dinner, accompanied by Li Quan, he looked around, and then left without stopping.
Master Zhao left without any problems.The officials who accompanied him all the way didn't know what Mr. Li said to Mr. Zhao, but seeing Mr. Imperial Envoy leaving with satisfaction, with a smile that seemed to have a deep meaning on his mouth, he reckoned how much Mr. Li had given him so that he could let him go. The imperial envoy shut up obediently.
Master Li is indeed Master Li, and having money is indeed a good thing.
……
……
The imperial envoys came and went so quickly that almost no one noticed, but Prince Jing of the imperial envoys who attracted them would not be unaware.
He knew exactly when Mr. Zhao came, when he left, and what he did with Li Quan.
It was also because he knew so clearly that he was a little frowning.
On the reclining chair covered with tiger skin, Prince Jing kept fiddling with his fingers.Beside him is the butler who advises him.
The expressions of the two were not very good, and the housekeeper stepped forward worriedly:
"My lord, judging from the performance of the imperial envoy, the emperor seems to be very satisfied with Li Quan. He should not let the lord test him again. If the villain guessed correctly, the emperor will call the lord back to Beijing soon. At that time, the prince's plan is..."
Chapter 394: The Yiju is Completed
"If that's the case, then you have to speed up your pace. In this last time, try again." Prince Jing's face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly.
The housekeeper frowned: "Try? My lord, how else do you want to try?"
"The White Lotus Sect has sent strong reinforcements for this king. As long as Li Quan can be controlled, I think Brother Huang will be a little bit upset, right?"
"White Lotus Sect? My lord, why do you still pin your hopes on the White Lotus Sect? The lesson from last time is not enough? Stop it early, maybe you can still protect your life wisely, and life is more important than anything else." The housekeeper tried to persuade him earnestly.
Prince Jing smiled, and looked at the butler beside him with contemptuous eyes: "You underestimate the current emperor too! Stop it earlier? Be wise and protect yourself? Do you think the emperor doesn't know what we are doing?"
The housekeeper shuddered, and his eyes obviously changed a little.
Could it be that the emperor knows?Collusion with the White Lotus Sect!This is a crime of treason, and the family is to be ransacked and exterminated!
If the emperor knew, how could he pretend that nothing happened?
"In the eyes of you and me, this may be a crime of genocide, but in the eyes of the emperor, we are just playing house." Prince Jing stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the cold wind outside, with deep eyes, "You don't understand him?" He is always so confident, he feels that nothing in the world can stop him, he is indifferent to many things, and always wants to kill his opponent instantly when he is at his best. He is such a psychopath, he likes to watch The moment when a person is sent from heaven to hell. 20 years ago, he did get a lot of help because of this self-confidence, and he also accomplished many feats that are impossible in our eyes. He established the current Daqing with this self-confidence.
If the current emperor is still the emperor of the past, even if this king has 1 guts, he would not dare to oppose him.But now, everything has changed, this king is no longer that muddy boy who peed his pants with fright at his eyes, nor is he the vigorous Emperor Qing showing his sharpness.The king has changed, and so has the emperor.Needless to say, the king has changed, but the emperor has become more and more confident, so that now his self-confidence is a little inflated.When a person is overconfident, he becomes arrogant.This king believes that even if he is not his opponent now, in the long run, one day he will pay the price for his current self-confidence.He thought everything was under his control, and now he must be imagining the pleasure of driving this king from heaven to hell.
But it won't be long before he realizes that the situation is beyond his control. "
Prince Jing talked a lot, thinking he analyzed it thoroughly, he pinched his chin in satisfaction.
However, the housekeeper behind him still frowned: "My lord, what you said is true. But you forgot? That grand master in the palace, the one who killed tens of thousands of troops by himself! With him by his side, it is not surprising that the emperor has such confidence. Everyone in the world knows that he is the number one expert in the world, and it is rumored that with him alone, the emperor can support the entire Daqing."
