Your Majesty will suffer

A few days later in the evening, in a pharmacy in the south of the city, Li Qi was sitting alone in the inner hall, looking through the recent accounts.The servant suddenly came to send a letter of greeting, Li Qi took it and read it, his complexion suddenly changed, and he hurriedly got up to welcome him out the door.

Outside the door, a blue-covered carriage was standing quietly, surrounded by seven or eight servants, judging from their clothes and demeanor, it was very unusual.

Although the car curtain is still drooping, how dare Li Qi hesitate?Stepping forward quickly, he gave a deep bow to the car: "I don't know if His Majesty is coming, Li Qi is far away to welcome you!"

The curtain of the car was lifted slightly, and the people inside smiled: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Li Qing's drug store business, is it okay?"

Li Qi is still respectful: "Thanks to His Majesty's favor, it is good to make a living!"

Although this pharmacy looks like only a gatehouse, it has a different world inside.To enter the inner hall, you have to bypass a corridor.The staff in the courtyard are sorting and grinding medicinal materials, and the face is full of strong medicinal smell.Li Qi frowned as if worried, and turned to look at the man, but his face was as usual, as if he was used to it: no wonder, people who have been ill for a long time are no strangers to the smell of medicine.

"Li Qing's pharmacy is a good one, isn't it?" Stepping into the inner hall, Li Qi couldn't think of his first words, but it was this.

Smiling: "It's a small business, and it's a small profit. However, in Bianliang, a prosperous place, there are more than thousands of medicine stores and shops? It's really a luxury to stand out from the crowd."

The man heard it but said: "Since this is the case, I have a good plan for Li Qing!"

Li Qi cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

Yue Ling smiled: "What if your medicinal materials can enter the forbidden area?"

Li Qi pondered for a while: "This...what can I do, what can I do for this?"

Seeing this, Yue Ling didn't want to go around with him any more, but said: "Actually, I came here today to bother Li Qing with something. If this matter can be achieved, I promise you that the matter of medicinal materials will not be a problem. !"

Li Qi twitched his eyebrows, suspicious and uncertain at the same time, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Your Majesty appreciates it, but I don't know where Li can serve His Majesty?"

Yue Ling took two steps: "When Li Qing is near, can you take a trip to Sichuan for me? Naturally, this trip will not make you go in vain, and the delay in making a living, but you say how much you earn in a normal day, and I will double it Make it up to you."

Li Qi hesitated: "Of course, my status...Your Majesty has a lot of talents in court, but why did you choose Li Qi to go there?"

Yue Ling pondered for a while, and said: "Therefore, it is not an official business to go back to Shu! You are going here to lead the way, and I want you to lead someone there!"

Li Qi had vaguely sensed that this matter was inappropriate, but since the Son of Heaven made a statement, he could not refuse it, so even though he felt embarrassed, he still had to pretend to be confused and asked, "Who are you leading?"

Yue Ling looked back and smiled: "Oh! I want to go to Chengdu, but I don't want to make a big fuss. After thinking about it, it is the most appropriate for Li Qing to accompany me!"

The spring breeze is ten miles, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, and one day passes through heavy mountains.

At sunset, I finally see Jialinjiang.

The grass is setting in the sun, and the river flowers are like fire; the mist is vast, and the clear water meets the sky in the distance.

It was getting late and the river was shrouded in mist, and crossing the river would have to wait until tomorrow.Fortunately, Chengdu is close at hand, but we can get there in three or two days across the river, so it's okay to delay for a while.

Speaking of which, Bianliang is thousands of miles away from Chengdu. Even a bloody horse, running around all day, will sometimes run out of money, let alone a human being?Along the way, the horses and chariots were rotated, day and night, so he was naturally tired, but maybe because of his thoughts, or because he was less disturbed by political affairs, Yue Ling's spirit was still good, and he did not appear sick all the way.

The dusk was getting darker, but Yue Ling still had no intention of resting. He casually paced along the river, overlooking the other bank, thinking deeply.

Going back to the west this time, since he said that he didn't want to make a big show, he confidently kept his promise, and only brought ten guards with him, not even the internal servants allowed to follow!Li Qi had to admire such courage, but at the same time, he couldn't help worrying.

During this journey, Li Qishi has never stopped admonishing him, but there is still a little room, so he hopes to persuade the emperor to return to Bianliang.Unfortunately, so far, it has not worked.

As the sky grew darker and the river wind blew colder, Li Qi came to persuade him to return.

Yue Ling responded, but his steps were slow, as if he was still yearning for the night scene by the river.On the one hand, he seemed to be strolling in the garden, and on the other hand, he asked about the daily schedule.

Li Qi said that the matter of crossing the river is still hard to say, because the wind and rain are unpredictable in spring, there are always variables, if the weather changes, it is normal to delay for a few days.

Yue Ling heard that he seemed a little anxious.

Li Qi said without losing the opportunity: "However, even though we traveled day and night, seven or eight days have passed, and the next day's itinerary is still uncertain. If it's not a coincidence, it's not uncommon for this trip to take two months! Your Majesty is busy with court affairs, I'm afraid there will be no delay..."

When Yue Ling heard the words, he already understood the subtext of his words, but interrupted with a smile: "Since you have come from a long distance, why not wait for two more days? Besides, the weather is still sunny today, and there will be no storms tomorrow." Forget it. Even if we are really stuck because of the change of the sky, I am exhausted after this journey, so I can rest here for two days to cultivate, thinking that it is not bad."

Li Qi was dumbfounded for a moment.After pondering for a while, he said: "However, His Majesty has been away from Beijing for a long time, and it is always wrong!"

Yue Ling frowned: "I have already made arrangements for this matter, so Li Qing doesn't have to worry about it."

This statement is true, this trip, to the court, Yue Ling has claimed to temporarily move to another garden to recuperate, at that time all political affairs will be handled by the two governments, if it is not an emergency, you must not enter the house to disturb!And since it is to recuperate the disease, it is only when the disease recovers that it can return to the dynasty.However, when the disease will be cured, it may be difficult for the imperial physician to say for sure.So one month and two months, don't they all follow his will?

At this moment, Li Qi has nothing to do with persuading him to return.After laughing at himself, he lowered his head and thought to himself: Up to now, although I have some guesses about the purpose of entering Sichuan in Yueling, it has not been verified. Since I can't persuade him to return now, I might as well take the opportunity to inquire about it.Sui said: "Your Majesty has come back to Shu and asked Li to accompany him. I wonder if there is another reason?"

Yue Ling glanced at him and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

Li Qi sighed bitterly in his heart, he naturally knew that the purpose of going here was definitely not for a spring tour!It's just that he, Li Qi, is just a mediocre businessman, even if he has some relatives with the Shu Palace, if it involves the state affairs, he really can't do anything, unless it is a cause. . .However, if that is the case, it may be even more difficult.

Although he said he was clear in his heart, he still had to be confused on the face, saying: "I really can't figure it out, I hope your Majesty will make it clear!"

Yue Lingsi's coming to Chengdu is near, and it's time for him to know the purpose of this trip, not to mention that without his help, it may be really difficult to achieve this purpose.Sui said: "After the tribute wine case in Qushi, I called the king of Shu to the capital, but the matter failed, but Nan Gongji claimed that he was ill and returned to Shu. Up to now, the culprits of the Yuwen family in the tribute wine case of the king of Shu have not yet been dealt with. As a result, the discussion is getting worse and worse, and it is already difficult for me to deal with it!"

Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "Ms. Li is not very clear about the important affairs of the state, but according to my humble opinion, discussing in the court, I naturally have doubts about the sincerity of the middle of Shu. If this is the case, why did your majesty make this trip to the west? If the Nangong family really has a different intention, isn't it dangerous for His Majesty to go here?"

Yue Ling shook his head: "The suspicion started in the court, but it may not be my intention!"

Li Qi's face was even more confused: "Then His Majesty is going to Chengdu for..."

Yue Ling lowered his eyes lightly: "I'm going here, I only wish to see Nangong Ji. I can only believe him if Shu Zhong is honest or not!" Go, I still need you to introduce me!"

Li Qi's complexion changed instantly: Sure enough, this matter is difficult!

On the second day, the weather was sunny and sunny, and a group of people crossed the river.Although it is possible to reach Chengdu directly by water, the boat travels slowly and there are still worries about wind and rain blocking the journey, so after crossing the river, we still choose to travel by land.Three days later, we arrived in Chengdu.

Jincheng Chengdu, a place to lead the coquettishness for thousands of years!

Shuzhong is rich and prosperous, and Yueling has heard about it, but seeing it once is better than hearing it a hundred times!Along the way, you can see dense markets, high-end shops, and the flow of people passing by. The prosperity is no less prosperous than Bianliang!

It was near dusk, and the dusty group of people finally stopped in front of a high courtyard house in the north of the city --- this was Li Qi's private house. The head of the family has been away for a long time, but he is not lacking in anger.

Entering the gate of the mansion, seeing the wide and deep courtyard and the high and wide hall, I knew that what Li Qi said earlier about "the private house is humble" was all modest.

Fengfan slept in the open for more than ten days, but after a break, he felt tired.

The lights in the room were dim, and Yue Ling Ban leaned on the soft couch, feeling a little dizzy.I don't know when, suddenly someone wakes me up, and I know it's Li Qi.

It was still early, and Li Qi ordered someone to prepare dinner, but Yue Ling argued that he had no appetite.Li Qi knew that it was because he was tired, but he didn't dare to neglect him, he urgently ordered someone to invite a doctor to have a look, and then ordered someone to make some light dishes and bring them inside.Yue Ling couldn't evade it anymore, so he had to use it roughly.

After the meal, even though he was already exhausted, he still hadn't forgotten the purpose of this trip, and asked when he would see Nangong Ji again.

Li Qi frowned and murmured, but said that this matter should not be rushed, and he will make a decision when he enters the palace to see him in the future.

When Yue Ling heard it, he was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. Besides, it was getting late, so he had to rest early as promised, and he will discuss things in the future.

The author has something to say:

It seems to be less than 3000 today, but I am already exhausted. . .
