Does that make sense? Zhao Kai knew Li Qi's purpose, but he was also very curious about how Li Qi would tie Bai Qiannuo to him, but he didn't expect that Li Qi not only did it, but also that these words were indeed very valuable for reference, he smiled and said: "Li Qi, I can be regarded as convincing you, originally these eight poles can't be beaten together, from your mouth, there is still some truth in life, and it is not reluctant at all." (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) You can be regarded as painstaking. β
There's no way, it's hard for a son-in-law to do! Li Qi shook his head and sighed, and said very modestly: "The emperor has won the award, I think it is because I have the society of the world in my heart that I can bring anything to the world's major events." β
Zhao Kai laughed and said, "Although these words make sense, you are not for my Great Song Sheji." β
"Then I don't know what the emperor means?"
In fact, Zhao Kai had already heard a little about Bai Qiannuo's work in Jiangnan, and he didn't have any doubts about Bai Qiannuo's ability, but Bai Qiannuo was a woman and a member of the Bai family, which made him hesitate and said: "Li Qi, I know your intentions, and what you just said is also very reasonable, but after all, the White Lady is Bai Shizhong's daughter, do you think this is suitable?" β
Li Qi immediately said: "Why is it not suitable, Qi Niang has already converted to Buddhism - no, she married into my Li family, and the water spilled should be counted as a member of my Li family." β
Zhao Kai asked again: "Do you really want to do this?" β
Li Qi nodded and said: "Although this matter comes out of my mouth, no matter what I say about it, it is still the more selfish Cheng DΓΉ, but Bai Qiannuo is indeed a very good candidate." Moreover, the emperor can first send Bai Shizhong to let the Bai family withdraw from the court, and Bai Qiannuo will only serve as an economic envoy in one capacity, that is, my wife. β
Zhao Kai hesitated for a long time, if he could send Shi Bai Shizhong, it would save him a lot of things, and said: "Okay, as long as you can convince the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, I will promise you." But. There's something I have to say earlier. One of the party henchmen in the white time must be driven out of the capital, and besides, except for the white lady. No one from the Bai family can no longer appear in the court. And also. Even if the White Lady can be appointed as an economic envoy, it will be after the situation stabilizes. β
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Thank you very much. β
Zhao Kai raised his hand and said: "Don't thank me, the reason why I promised you is because I believe in you, that's all, if one day, the White Lady does something that I can't accept, I will deal with it impartially, it was you who let him enter the court, and then you don't blame me." β
This is politics, there is no affection to talk about.
Li Qi also understood this, nodded and said, "Yes, I know this, I will watch her closely." β
Zhao Kai sighed and said: "Li Qi, your biggest weakness is women, after the lesson of this incident, you should understand that putting these private feelings in the court will only make you restrain your hands and feet, and may also make you suffer a lot of harm, in fact, I think that the white lady gave you the letter of resignation for your own good." β
Li Qi frowned and said, "How do you say this?" β
Zhao Kai said: "Think about it, what is the situation of the Bai family now, everyone is respectful and away, or get rid of it quickly, and then in the process of eliminating Bai Shizhong's henchmen, I am afraid that it will be more strict, and your relationship with the Bai family is complicated, do you dare to guarantee that no one will use this matter to attack you at that time?" Of course, now that you have made a great contribution and come back and won the hearts of the people, they may not dare to do this, but this is always a hidden danger, once you make any mistakes, they will use this as an excuse, if you take a leave of absence, or if you are suspended, these hidden dangers will not exist. In fact, to be honest, I have always hoped that you can cut off a relationship with the Bai family, including Bai Qiannuo, which will save you and me a lot of trouble. β
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I know this, but if it weren't for me being the son-in-law of the Bai family, if it wasn't for my father-in-law recommending me in front of King Fucheng, King Fucheng, Li Bangyan and others would never believe in me lightly. And my mother-in-law, as well as Qi Niang, also helped me a lot, on the other hand, in the whole plan, the Bai family also helped us a lot, but, it is undeniable that I did use them at that time, you want me to abandon the Bai family now, I am. β
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "I understand this, so in this regard, I have been choosing to make concessions, I just want to remind you that when you continue to break, you will suffer from it, sometimes you are ruthless, and no one will blame you." β
Li Qi shook his head and said resolutely: "This love can't be broken." β
"Well, now that you've decided, I'm not reluctant."
"Thank you."
Li Qi asked again: "Next step, I don't know what the emperor plans to do?" β
Zhao Kai sighed and said: "Actually, the reason why I didn't urge you to go to the court before is because things are far more complicated than we imagined, there are too many henchmen of those people, almost all yamen are involved, Qin Hui just checked casually, there are more than 1,000 people, and this is not counting the local officials." β
"So much? Qin Hui didn't make a mistake, right? Li Qi was surprised.
Zhao Kai smiled bitterly: "At that time, I also thought the same way as you, so I asked Chen Dong and Zheng Yi to go to the side to investigate, and the result was more than Qin Hui found, Cai Taishi, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Cai You, Cai Xuan, Li Bangyan, Li Yan and others have controlled the government for so many years, and almost all the people in the dynasty are their people, fortunately, Gao Yu gave me a generous gift at that time, and voluntarily gave me a gift and handed over the three ya, otherwise if they are together with the three ya, this matter is really difficult to handle, at least it is impossible to eradicate them." β
Although Zhao Huan also eliminated the six thieves in history, but after all, he protected his own forces, and he only eliminated these few leaders, and did not attack their forces, now Zhao Kai wants more than that, he wants to rejuvenate the imperial court and completely eliminate those old forces, but this also greatly increases the difficulty.
As soon as Brother Yu was mentioned, Li Qi immediately gossiped and said, "That's right." I heard that my brother donated a sum of money to you? β
Zhao Kai coughed a few times and said, "Who have you heard?" β
"Everyone knows that you haven't done a good job of secrecy. How many? β
"This -- 700,000 guan"
"So much? Then you still say that there is no money. β
"This money is not a small amount for an individual, but for a country, what can it be worth."
"That's fine, you won't give me a little anyway." Li Qi glanced at him, saw that he was indifferent, and felt so depressed that he had to get back to business. Dao: "The words of so many people. If it were all cleaned up at once, wouldn't the imperial court be empty. β
Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "That's not it, the phenomenon of redundant officials is already the highest in history." A few times more. It's nothing. Besides, I'm now planning to cut down on officials and reduce my salary. Now I can't afford to support so many people. Moreover, if I keep them, then my throne will be like a pin. On this point, I discussed with Qin Hui, if they unite for self-preservation, it will cause us great difficulties at that time. β
Li Qi said with a little worry: "This is really a troublesome matter, the emperor, you have just ascended the throne, if you use force to solve the affairs of the court, I am afraid that it will fall into the mouth, which will be extremely unfavorable to the emperor in the future." β
"You're right." Zhao Kai said: "Qin Hui has a plan, I think it is very feasible"
If it was Qin Hui's plan, it should be fine. Li Qi hurriedly asked, "What strategy?" β
Zhao Kai said: "Qin Hui's plan is to divide and annihilate." These forces already have a lot of contradictions with each other, and if we can break their alliance first and let them kill each other, we can sit on the profits of the fishermen and clean them up one by one. β
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said, "This is indeed a good idea, if this plan is successful, we can purge the government and the opposition at a very small cost." Saying that, he suddenly looked at Zhao Kai and said, "I'm afraid this is also the reason why you didn't approve the Taishi's request for Zhishi, right?" β
Zhao Kai nodded with a smile and said: "Tong Guan is dead, among these forces, among them, Taishi and Li Bangyan are the most powerful, if we can use Taishi's power to clean up Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong's forces in the court, then the next thing will be much easier." β
"And what about Cai You and Liang Shicheng?"
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "These two people used to rely on their father to make a fortune, although Liang Shicheng has great power, but he is a eunuch after all, he does not dare to collude with too many ministers of the court, there are not too many henchmen, now that the father has abdicated, their power in the court has weakened a lot, and they used to have a lot of enemies, I want to get rid of the two of them, it is simply easy,"
Li Qi said: "But the problem is that Taishi is not an ordinary person, how can he not guess that if these two forces are solved, then the next one will definitely be their Cai family." β
"That's what gives me the most headaches." Zhao Kai sighed and said: "Actually, no matter whether the Taishi is willing to help or not, I can't move him, his Taishi Academy has become a force to be reckoned with among the people, if the Taishi is moved, it will hurt the hearts of the people, and besides, at his age, he can't live for a few years." β
Li Qi frowned and groaned, and suddenly said, "You want me to persuade the Grand Master?" β
Zhao Kai nodded and said, "By my side, you have the best relationship with Taishi." β
Li Qi interrupted him and said, "This is a thing of the past, and now even my father-in-law hates me so much, let alone Taishi Cai?" Moreover, if you don't move Taishi Cai, will you let go of those chess pieces he arranged in the court? β
Zhao Kai didn't answer and asked, "Do you think these people should be let go?" β
Li Qi said: "It's not how I think it should be, the key is what Taishi thinks in his heart." Saying that, he sighed again, and said: "Although I don't agree with many of Taishi Cai's previous practices, but I can come this far, and six of them should be attributed to Taishi Cai, no matter what, he has always been kind to me, although I don't regret doing this, but if you let me persuade Taishi Cai to give up his chess pieces at this time, wouldn't that make me fall off the stone and step on him again, isn't this a little too cruel." β
Zhao Kai shook his head and said, "You are wrong, in fact, I did this because I was concerned about the relationship between you and the Taishi." β
Li Qi frowned and said, "How do you say this?" β
Zhao Kai said: "Taishi's power is huge, if you can get his help, it is the best, but if he doesn't agree, I can also use other forces, but it may take more time, and the harvest is not so big, but in this case, Taishi's chess pieces are the first batch of objects I sweep away, including several of his sons, I have their handles, if you can persuade Taishi, then I can make some concessions." β
Li Qi sighed and said, "In this way, I have to go." β
Zhao Kai said: "I don't want to force you, it depends on how you choose, but you should know that if these people are not removed, there will be no peace in the DPRK." β
Li Qi said: "Tell me what you can give to the Taishi, right?" β
Zhao Kai said: "Except for Cai You and Cai Xuan, I will let the rest of the Cai family live, as for the Taishi, I will make him my first godfather of the Great Song Dynasty." β
"I'm afraid the Taishi won't agree, Cai Qian is his favorite son, and the Taishi will definitely find ways to protect Cai Qian." Li Qi shook his head and said: "Actually, Cai Qian doesn't have the ability of his father, he can do this, it is completely by relying on the Taishi, if the power of the Taishi is cleared, then Cai Qian is equal to a wasted person, and it is impossible to make a comeback." β
Zhao Kai frowned and said, "Then what do you say you should do?" β
Li Qi said: "Arrange a clerical job for Cai Qian in the Hanlin Academy, let him write books or something, and don't give him any real power." Your Majesty, I will use Cai Qian in exchange for the great help of the Taishi, I think this transaction will not be lost. β
Zhao Kai thinks it's right, Cai Jing is already old, Cai Juan is not his opponent at all, even if he is placed in the court, he does not pose any threat to him, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you, but are you sure to convince the Taishi?" β
Li Qi sighed: "I'm not sure about this, because I haven't met the Taishi yet, so let's do my best." β
Zhao Kai exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "Li Qi, I know that the most difficult person in this is you, and I have worked hard for you." β
Li Qi smiled bitterly: "This is my own reason, it has nothing to do with you, if you change to Qin Hui, Wang Hao and others, they will definitely choose to cut through the mess quickly, I am by no means a qualified politician." β
Zhao Kai didn't say much, and suddenly said: "By the way, there is someone you must want to meet." β
"Who?"
Li Qi's face tightened.
Zhao Kai was stunned at first when he saw his startled appearance, and then reacted, and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous, don't you want to see your father?" β
Li Qi hurriedly said: "How is it possible, it's just that I don't think I brought any gifts today, so I'm embarrassed to go." β
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
"Actually, it's not my father."
Li Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I said it earlier." Uh, it's not going to be the king of supplements, is it? β
You also said that you are not afraid of seeing your father. Zhao Kai shook his head with a smile and said, "It's Yan Fu." β
