Emperor Ji was almost injured by a big insect, which really worried Zhao Kai and the guards, how could they explain to the Son of Heaven? The hunt that had been gleeful ended hastily because of this incident. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the big tent, Cao Sheng whispered to Zhao Kai: "This matter must not be concealed, you can only turn a big thing into a small thing, say that the danger of the emperor is the danger of everyone, try to understate it, and the Son of Heaven will not ask again." ”

Zhao Kai nodded silently, in fact, he also thought of this method, try to make big things small, small things, the key is the imperial sister, he must talk to the imperial sister again, as long as the imperial sister is willing to help, this matter will be revealed.

At this time, Cao Sheng said again: "Your Highness, this Li Yanqing is deeply hidden, not only is he outstanding in writing, but also has great courage, and he is strong in bow and horse, I have seen it with his own eyes today, I am afraid that there is no one in the palace who can compare with him in the archery skills of a guard, this talent His Royal Highness has to hold tightly, if the humble position is not mistaken, this person will be a great help to His Highness in the future." ”

Zhao Kai pondered for a moment and said: "Li Yanqing and Zheng Rongtai have a close relationship, and Zheng Rongtai is the brother-in-law of the eldest brother, I don't know what the relationship between him and the prince is?" ”

"Your Highness don't worry, he has been in Bianjing for less than two months, and he shouldn't have anything to do with the prince, he and Zheng Fatzi are both from Xiangzhou, so they know each other, and they know the prince very well, with the prince's arrogance, he disdains to deal with low-level people like Li Yanqing."

"You're right, I'll talk to him again, he saved my royal sister today, no matter what, I should thank him well!"

........

Zhao Kai came out of the big tent and met Cai Kai head-on, Cai Kai was full of frustration, and said to Zhao Kai: "I went to apologize to the emperor, how can she ignore me, Your Highness help me to talk about it!" ”

Zhao Kai really looked down on Cai Ying, obviously he was just a guard, but he wanted to regard himself as a concubine, his father just promised Cai Jing, far from the time to cash in, Cai Ying began to enjoy the treatment of a concubine as a matter of course, he also took a fancy to his third sister, entangled all day long, if it weren't for his father Cai Jing, it was not easy to offend, Zhao Kai would have beaten him half to death.

Zhao Kai held back the disgust in his heart and said with a smile: "Emperor Ji is frightened, let her have a good rest!" After a long time, she gradually forgets about this matter, and she will forgive Yanai, this matter is not in a hurry, and she has to think about it in the long run. ”

Although Zhao Kai did not immediately agree to help him persuade Emperor Ji, he also felt that His Royal Highness King Jia's words were reasonable, and he really had to be patient in this matter and wait for the anger in Emperor Ji's heart to subside, but fortunately, she was still young and had time for herself.

Thinking of this, Cai Yan cautiously asked: "If the official asks about this matter, how should the lowly position answer, and does His Royal Highness give me any pointers?" ”

"There is no need to hide this matter, just answer the truth!"

"But..... The emperor was just a little frightened, and he was not injured, the official family is in charge of everything, and the government is heavy, so let's not add any more burdens to him, this is a humble idea, please Your Highness Mingjian! ”

Zhao Kai sneered in his heart, was he afraid of being held responsible? Throwing the emperor to the tiger, he ran away, and gave him 10,000 reasons, and he couldn't explain it, but this is okay, at least Cai Jing will not make a big deal in front of his father, and it can be regarded as coinciding with his own thoughts.

"Let's go rest first! We'll talk about it slowly tomorrow when we get back. ”

Zhao Kai was anxious to see Li Yanqing, he was about to send Cai Yan away, but Cai Yan hesitated and said: "Your Highness, there is still one thing about the lowly position, it is about the southeast restlessness!" ”

Zhao Kai just took two steps, stopped all of a sudden, turned around and said in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

"This is not the place to speak, please take a step to speak!"

The two walked to a secluded place, and Cai Yan lowered his voice and said: "Father asked me to tell His Highness that the situation in the southeast is unstable, and the official family wants to choose a prince to inspect and pacify Jiangnan, but who to send is still under consideration by the housekeeper, this is an opportunity for His Highness." ”

Zhao Kai was shocked, and sure enough, Li Yanqing was right, Cai Ying's hunting with him this time was Cai Jing's arrangement, just to find an opportunity to pass the word to himself, there is no doubt that Cai Jing hopes to go to Jiangnan by himself, but why did he choose himself? Zhao Kai's heart was full of doubts.

.........

Li Yanqing calmly listened to Zhao Kai's relays of Cai Ying's retelling, and the experience of the two lives first told him not to evaluate a person easily, although he suspected that Cai Jing was betting on both sides, but before he knew Zhao Kai's attitude towards Cai Jing, it was best to talk about things and try not to involve people.

"Did Your Highness feel something?" Li Yanqing asked with a faint smile.

Zhao Kai groaned and said: "I'm a little uneasy, and I'm a little dazed, maybe it's because I'm the authority, I can't see through this matter, let alone understand the hidden risks or opportunities, what does Yanqing see as a bystander?"

Li Yanqing smiled, "I just think it's a little strange, since the crown prince has been canonized, why does the Son of Heaven want other princes to participate in the actual affairs of the court?" Especially when it comes to power struggles, for example, Emperor Wen of Sui obviously canonized the crown prince Yang Yong, but why did he continue to reuse Yang Guang, the king of Jin, or that Tang Gaozu had already canonized the crown prince Li Jiancheng, but he wanted to let Li Shimin, the king of Qin, hold the military power, His Royal Highness thought about this reason? ”

Li Yanqing is not good at talking about this dynasty, but his meaning has been expressed very explicitly, and Zhao Kai suddenly understood that Li Yanqing meant that his father wanted to find a competitor for his eldest brother.

In fact, Zhao Kai already has this idea in his heart, whether it is talent or talent, or being favored by his father, he is far more than his eldest brother Zhao Huan, and his father has praised him more than once, 'My son can be the king of the world!' His father's praise had already left a deep imprint on his heart.

And everyone in the palace knows that the father doesn't like the eldest brother, otherwise he wouldn't have canonized the crown prince until the year before last, the fire of power in Zhao Kai's heart was gradually ignited, and he suddenly turned around and asked: "Then do you think I want to fight for this opportunity to go to Jiangnan?" ”

Li Yanqing bit his lip and said, "I only give His Highness a piece of advice, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!" ”

Zhao Kai was stunned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"This is my personal perception, sometimes I want to get something too much, but I can't get it, if I don't care about it, I don't want it, it will come quietly, this kind of big thing, I believe that the Son of Heaven will choose carefully, and will not change his mind because His Highness is actively fighting, nor will he give up because His Highness is not interested, the leader in this is the Son of Heaven and not His Highness, Your Highness should not take the lead."

Zhao Kai was finally persuaded by Li Yanqing, after all, he was born in the royal family, he has heard and seen since he was a child, and he has an innate talent for power struggles, once he calms down, he realizes that he can't be impatient in this matter, he must learn to wait, maybe his father is just testing himself, once he is too eager and his ambition is exposed, it will lead to ruin.

It was only at this time that Zhao Kai fully believed in Cao Sheng's judgment, Li Yanqing was a genius who could be met but not sought, and he was a right-hand man given to him by God, but Zhao Kai was still more cautious, and he asked a question that he had been puzzled about.

"I don't quite understand, the states apply for Taixue, at most they can only read the inner house, why is Yanqing special and can read the upper house?"

You must know that Taixue is extremely strict in the management of the promotion house, not only to go through a strict examination, but also to go through the approval of the Guozijian and the Ministry of Rites before giving birth, it is by no means something that the local government can do, and it is impossible to get the opportunity to be promoted without the help of the powerful, so Zhao Kai is a little suspicious that Li Yanqing entered the upper house after being recommended by the prince.

Li Yanqing immediately understood Zhao Kai's doubts, he must be honest with Zhao Kai in this matter, once the truth is discovered after concealment, I am afraid that Zhao Kai will never spare himself.

Li Yanqing did not hide it, so he said in detail about his archery in the military camp to win Tong Guan's favor, the more Zhao Kai listened, the more surprised he became, Tong Guan actually discovered Li Yanqing's talent before him, but Tong Guan and him have no interests intersecting, the two of them do not value Li Yanqing at the same level, Tong Guan wants to install chess pieces in the court, and he wants to gain status in the palace, these are two completely different paths.

What's more, Zhao Kai also knew that Tong Guan and Liang Shi had been fighting openly and secretly in the palace, Liang Shi was a staunch supporter of the crown prince, but Tong Guan was his father's henchman, maybe he could also establish some kind of connection with Tong Guan through the bridge of Li Yanqing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kai said with a smile: "I'll just say how to make an exception for Taixue, it turned out that it was recommended by Taiwei Tong, this place is not easy!" Taixue has only issued a total of seven places, and even I don't have it, so you should cherish this opportunity and be admitted to the Jinshi as soon as possible. ”

Li Yanqing saw that Zhao Kai didn't care about his relationship with Tong Guan, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your encouragement!" ”

Zhao Kai smiled again: "This time you saved my imperial sister, I must thank you heavily, you say!" What reward do you want? ”
