The next day, the envoys of the Jin State set off to return to China, it was really fast, and they went quickly, and the sad thing is that the Song court also sent them a lot of gifts and cordial greetings, and when the emperor was on this, it was really speechless.
Cow man!
This matter soon spread among the people, and the people were indignant, feeling that they had been humiliated, but what could they do, the emperor was like this, and there was only a sigh.
Of course, the dignified emperor was slapped in the face, someone must be responsible for this, the emperor's face can't be beaten in vain, since he doesn't dare to find the person who slapped his face to settle the account, then only find his own person to vent his anger.
So Song Huizong waved his hand, and Li Gang took the pot.
……
In the early morning of this day, the cool morning breeze blows and makes people feel refreshed.
On a small hill outside the west city, Li Qi and Qin Hui rode horses and stood on the hillside, looking at the road in the distance, only to see four or five people walking slowly on the road, although they only looked at it from afar, but it gave people a lonely and desolate feeling.
These people are Li Gang's family, the day before yesterday he had been demoted from the capital by Song Huizong, and was going to a small county on the edge of Xijing to serve as the magistrate. This is the second time he has been demoted, and it came so quickly, which Li Gang did not expect. He originally received Zhao Huan's invitation, thinking that this ambition could finally be realized, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he was beaten back to his original form, and what made him even more angry was that he felt that he was not wrong from beginning to end, he argued with the envoy of the Jin State, and even almost fought. This is all for what, not just for the face and dignity of the Great Song Dynasty. But it ended up like this.
He is probably already disheartened at this time, but if he is given another chance, he is afraid that he will still do it, I believe that anyone with backbone will do it.
Li Qi sighed lightly, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to Qin Hui and asked, "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say anything to protect him?" ”
Protect him? If you want to keep it. It's not a simple effort, but if you want to hurt him, it's easy, isn't that the result you want? Qin Hui shook his head and said, "No." According to the lower officials, His Royal Highness originally wanted to protect him. But because of Geng Nanzhong's words, His Royal Highness decided to let Li Gang be the substitute for the dead ghost. ”
Li Qi was curious: "Why do you know so clearly?" ”
Qin Hui said: "It was Geng Nanzhong who sued the lower officials when he was drinking with the lower officials yesterday. ”
Li Qi smiled and said, "Then I don't know what Geng Nanzhong said to His Highness to dispel His Highness's idea of protecting Li Gang." ”
Qin Hui said with a smile: "Although Geng Nanzhong has no great talent, he still has the ability to fall into the well. He told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the reason why Li Gang did this was entirely because he wanted to show himself in front of the emperor and wanted to ascend to the throne, but he did not care about what kind of situation His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be in if this move moved. ”
"I see." Li Qi nodded. Laughing: "This reason is enough, no one will like their subordinates to be the slightest disloyal to themselves." Obviously, Geng Nanzhong's reason is really good, and Li Gang doesn't know how to restrain himself too much, he doesn't know how to show his edge at all, and he will be hated. At this point, you have done much better than him, in fact, with your talent, you are indeed too wronged to be subordinate to me. ”
Qin Huicheng said in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare, the adult is serious, the lower official can learn from the adult, it is the blessing of the lower official, and the lower official does not dare to expect anything else." ”
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything like this, do people go to high places, when the time comes, I will release your restraints, and how high you can climb at that time depends on your own ability." ”
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything more, because he knew that if he continued to talk, he would only appear to be more hypocritical. So he pulled the topic back and said: "In fact, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects Li Gang, I'm afraid Honglu Temple won't be able to tolerate him, after all, this matter has already been made in front of the emperor, if he doesn't punish him, the emperor won't be able to get over his face, if he doesn't punish Li Gang, then he must punish His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Qi nodded, looked into the distance again, sighed, and said, "Go back." ”
Back in the city, Li Qi asked Qin Hui to go back to the Commerce Bureau first, and he himself went to the Zuixianju Group Company, after all, he threw out 300,000 yuan, and he had to take the helm himself, although Xiaoyu made great progress, but the heat was still a little less.
But when he came to a tea shop near the Zuixianju Group Company, he suddenly found a familiar figure sitting inside, which made him wrinkle his head slightly.
The man had already seen him, and bowed slightly, which was a kind of greeting.
This person is Zhao Jingyan.
Li Qi smiled slightly, got off the horse, and said to Ma Qiao: "You go back first." Then he walked alone towards the tea shop.
"Zhao Gongzi, what a coincidence!" Li Qi beckoned and smiled.
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him and said, "I came here to wait for you." ”
It's so humorous, don't you say it, I don't know, really. Li Qi shook his head indisputably, sat down, looked left and right, sighed, and said, "Why don't you even have a greeting." ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "Because I chartered this tea shop." ”
"Oh."
Li Qi gave a thumbs up and said: "It is worthy of being a descendant of the Zhao family, you have courage, next time you go to my Drunken Immortal Residence, it should be the same." ”
Chartered Drunken Immortal Residence? How much does it cost! Zhao Jingyan didn't seem to appreciate Li's humor today, and said, "I have also heard about the entry of the envoys of the Jin Kingdom into Beijing this time. Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly shot out two essences, and she said in a deep voice: "My Great Song He has suffered such a great humiliation, they are simply too deceitful. ”
Li Qi's eyes widened depressedly, and said: "No, don't you just listen to the first half, the part where I turned the tide and fought the golden envoy with my tongue, haven't you heard?" ”
Zhao Jingyan said disdainfully: "You're just clever." It's like someone else putting a bucket over your head, and you just hold the bucket on top and tell others that you're not wrong. It's not about whose side the truth is, it's about dignity. ”
"Dung buckets? Alas. What a disappointment. ”
Li Qi shook his head and sighed, "Then what do you say should be done?" ”
Zhao Jingyan said word by word: "Kill one and make an example." ”
"What you said is easy, kill it, you are the ten million iron hooves of the Jin Kingdom who eat dry rice." Richie didn't have a good airway.
Zhao Jingyan snorted: "Do you still think that the Jin Congress is engaged in some economic construction with us?" This is nothing more than wishful thinking on our part. ”
Li Qi was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Zhao Jingyan stood up suddenly, pinched the teacup with two fingers as narrow as white jade, and said angrily: "Jin Guo is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. This time is just their temptation, and it is precisely because of this that you have the so-called power to turn the tide, if they are real, how can they let you succeed like this, they sent troops to invade my Great Song Dynasty, it is just around the corner. Don't sue me, you don't notice it. ”
Li Qi poured himself a cup of tea and said, "This is just your guess, I am different from you, I am a member of the third grade, such irresponsible words." I don't dare to say. ”
Zhao Jingyan frowned deeply, and said, "That's good, let's say Jin Guo." ”
Without waiting for him to finish, Richie said, "I never answer hypothetical questions. ”
"That's enough."
Zhao Jingyan shouted angrily and said, "Li Qi." Now that my Da Song is in danger, do you still want to play this little trick with me? ”
She is a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin. Its cultivation and demeanor can be imagined, Li Qi has known her for so long, and it is the second time to see her angry, the first time is the first meeting between the two, but Li Qi seems to have expected it, not surprised at all, and said lightly: "Are you the eldest aunt here, demeanor, demeanor." ”
Li Qi's soft and hard character is really a headache! Zhao Jingyan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone: "Do you remember your Three Kingdoms Theory? ”
Li Qi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't remember." I just remember that I wrote a book called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has always been my pride. ”
"Then I'll remind you." Zhao Jingyan said: "When I attacked Liao with the Song Dynasty, you compared the Song, Liao, and Jin Kingdoms to Shu, Wu, and Wei. What you said has basically been realized, and now that the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, it will be my turn to be the Great Song Dynasty. You had expected it at the time, but how could you not know it at this time. ”
Li Qi said: "I just fooled you casually, and I forgot about it when I said it, besides, now that it hasn't happened, you can make up your mind now, it's too arbitrary." ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "Arbitrary? Do you think I'm arbitrary? The dust has settled on this matter, and it is inevitable that my Great Song Dynasty will fight with the Jin Kingdom. If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, this time you can prevaricate the excuse of the Jin State back, next time, next time, once the time comes, the Jin State will definitely send troops without hesitation. ”
Li Qi quietly sipped the tea, and after she finished speaking, she said, "Is this the purpose of your coming to me today?" Well, I remembered, I'll seriously think about it. If nothing else, I'll go first. ”
Zhao Jingyan slowly closed her eyes full of disappointment, and after a while, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "I can't imagine that today, you still have reservations about me." ”
Li Qi stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I have reservations about anyone. Leave. ”
"Wait!"
Zhao Jingyan stretched out her hand and said.
Li Qi squinted, rubbed his forehead, and said, "If I knew this, I should have taken Ma Qiao with me." Go ahead. ”
Zhao Jingyan sneered: "I believe that I am the person who knows you best in this world, it is impossible for you not to have a sense of crisis now, however, you are calm and calm, so you must be carrying out an unknown conspiracy, which may have started a long time ago." When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Rich's eyes, but unfortunately she gained little.
Li Qi said: "I still say the same thing, I never answer hypothetical questions. Can I go? ”
Zhao Jingyan put down her hand in disappointment.
Li Qi walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and said, "What I just said is also the reason why I still treat you as a friend." Oh, correct one more of your language problems, the person who knows me best in this world is not you, it's me. ”
After that, he went out of the tea shop.
Zhao Jingyan's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, but soon her face was as calm and calm as ever, she sat down, poured a cup of tea for herself, took a small sip, supported her chin with one hand, and said with a sneer in her eyes: "Your words are also the reason why I regard you as an enemy now."
