Poor Family Chapter 845

  Chapter 845 Refused to be a relative

The discussion was almost over, and all the ministers left. They thought that today was to discuss the matter of Cai Jing's serious illness and change of phase, but the officials didn't mention it. Everyone is shrewd. It is estimated that the officials have not yet decided on a candidate, so for the time being Not mentioning this matter, in fact, not only the emperor Zhao Gou did not mention it, but everyone also didn't want to mention it. Cai Jing's illness was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard and unprepared. Maximize your own benefits.

   Li Yanqing was left behind, Zhao Gou brought him a cup of tea with a smile, Li Yanqing quickly waved, "Your Majesty, you don't have to do this, I can't afford it!"

   "Li Taibao has really worked hard these past two months, and I can only express my gratitude by offering tea."

Zhao Gou spoke from the bottom of his heart. He was grateful to Li Yanqing from the bottom of his heart. Li Yanqing was able to make Daning County King a real authority, but he gave himself the opportunity. Suppressing the dissatisfied voices and consolidating his throne, Zhao Gou can see that Li Yanqing is helping him sincerely, and now he also needs Li Yanqing's support.

  Li Yanqing also knew that if Zhao Gou stayed by himself, there must be something important to discuss. He took a sip of tea and waited patiently for Zhao Gou to speak.

  Zhao Gou smiled and said: "The main thing is that I want to talk to you about the Emperor Ji."

  Li Yanqing was discouraged all of a sudden, his energy was gone, and he said listlessly: "Your Majesty has a myriad of state affairs to deal with, so don't think about such trivial matters for the time being!"

   "This is not a small matter! It is also a big matter for me, but I may be sorry for you. The marriage of Di Ji is really not a show."

"Your Majesty, don't say that, I understand in my heart that the imperial court needs too much money, and countless eyes are staring at it. If the ostentation is too big, Your Majesty will be criticized by the subjects, and even the backbone of the humble minister will be broken. , the more low-key the better."

  Zhao Gou nodded, "I have also considered it. I will be a little smaller in the ostentation, and try to make up for it on the canonization. I discussed it with the queen last night. I will choose an auspicious day and send Di Ji to the Taibao Mansion by boat."

   "Everything is up to His Majesty!"

  Zhao Gou walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and smiled slightly, "After marrying Diji, you will be my brother-in-law. How about Yanqing, how about taking over from Cai Jing as the right minister?"

Li Yanqing was taken aback, he didn't expect to end up here after a detour, in fact, Li Yanqing was also mentally prepared, originally Zhao Gou's original intention was to let himself be the right minister, and he pushed Cai Jing out because of his lack of qualifications, and now Cai Jing fell down again Of course, Zhao Gou would think of himself again.

  Speaking of which, Li Yanqing really doesn't want to be the Prime Minister of the country. He is more willing to be on the political side, give himself a whole piece of land, and manage it carefully by himself, which is better than working for others.

   "Your Majesty, I still say that, I don't have enough qualifications, and your Majesty has just established the country, so it is more conducive to the stability of the imperial power to find an old senior minister."

  Zhao Gou wanted to persuade him again, but Li Yanqing waved his hand, "Your Majesty, this is what I say from my heart, not to evade hypocrisy. If Your Majesty really believes in what I see, how about I recommend a right minister?"

  Zhao Gou saw that Li Yanqing really didn't want to take over Xiangguo, so he stopped forcing him, "Okay! Let me see who you recommend?"

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "I have three people who can recommend me, the first is veteran Zong Ze, the second is Zhang Shuye, and the second is Weichen's mentor Zhong Shuai. Weichen considers stabilizing the rear and preparing for the Northern Expedition at the same time. , it is best to add a military representative to the prime minister, these three have profound qualifications and great influence, and they can all be prime ministers."

  Zhao Gou paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He agreed with Li Yanqing's idea of ​​adding a military representative to Zhizheng Hall, but he had to think carefully about who to choose as prime minister.

   "Let me think about this matter!"

   "Then I won't bother Your Majesty, I will leave!"

  Li Yanqing got up to leave, but Zhao Gou remembered something, and said to Li Yanqing: "Do you want to release Xu Churen? I will listen to your words."

   "Your Majesty knows about that?"

   "I heard what the queen said last night." Zhao Gou said with a cold face, "Teaching Sun Wufang and allowing him to harm the people, I don't believe that such a person can govern the world for me."

   "Your Majesty decides this matter himself, and I have no attitude."

   Li Yanqing's meaning is very clear! It's okay to deal with people, but don't involve yourself, that is to say, don't use this excuse. Of course Zhao Gou understood.

   "Okay! I know what to do, I will find an opportunity to convince people!"

Li Yanqing came out of the Chuigong Hall and walked quickly towards the Privy Council. He is now anxious to know about Xixia's activities. Since entering Bianliang, Tokyo, he has put aside the affairs of Xixia. He hasn't asked about it for almost half a year. Today, when he thought of his private plot, he also thought of Xixia.

  But Li Yanqing had not gone far when he heard someone calling him from behind, "Li Taibao, please stay!"

  The voice sounded familiar, Li Yanqing turned around, only to see Xu Churen running over with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum blooming.

   "Yo! Xu Xianggong hasn't left yet?"

   "Isn't this waiting for the Taibao? Or is the Taibao being valued by the officials and staying here specially, is it to discuss the matter of the new right minister?"

  This Xu Churen is not good at doing things, but he is a thousand-year-old fox who thinks about his thoughts, and he is right when he says it.

   "Hehe! Mr. Xu was joking. Mr. Cai fell ill too suddenly. Everyone was unprepared. Now we can't say anything about it. The officials will talk to me about the official residence."

  Xu Churen approached, put on a cowardly look, and apologized to Li Yanqing, "Caibao, my family is unfortunate, I raised a wicked grandson."

  Before Xu Churen finished speaking, Li Yanqing waved his hand and said: "This matter has been settled, and Sun has also learned the lesson he deserves. If Xu Xianggong talks about this matter again, it is I, Li Yanqing, who used my power to suppress others."

   "I didn't mean that, I just panicked with resentment in my heart!"

Xu Churen sighed, "I've been walking around the city these two days, and I've asked a lot of old folks. When it comes to the Xu family, there are really many people who hate it, but few who praise it. I think my Xu family is a scholarly family. These young children are all low-key and hardworking, but their reputation has been completely ruined by an unworthy boy. I really want to kill him. I am dissatisfied with the Taibao. I already found a boat yesterday and sent that evil grandson to the countryside to be imprisoned. Let him go out."

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Xu Xianggong doesn't have to worry too much, just take care of people. give it to you?"

Regardless of the official residence or the official residence, they are all fat jobs. Not only can they make a lot of money, but they are also profitable in allocating government residences. This is a job that many people dream of. He said with a smile, "Li Taibao, what a shame!"

   "Aren't I afraid of trouble? If Xu Xianggong thinks it is troublesome, I will let Li Xianggong take over."

   "Don't! I took this job, and I'm also sharing the worries of the court!"

  Xu Churen thanked Li Yanqing for his kindness, and rushed to the Zhizheng Hall happily, thinking about the regulations for repairing the official residence and the official residence.

  It's a pity that Xu Churen has calculated thousands of times, but he forgot one thing. The money for the construction of the official residence and the official house was taken out of the official's pocket. If he wants to corrupt the official's money, isn't that courting death? Li Yanqing dug a big hole, Xu Churen was blinded by his interests, and fell straight down.

  The most urgent thing for Zhao Gou now is to marry Zhao Fujin. He is very aware of the allusion of long nights and many dreams. Wasn't the Cai family just waiting for the auspicious day, and ended up waiting for Cai Yanei's little life.

After returning from the imperial study, Zhao Gou brought Empress Xing to discuss with her. Empress Xing was very considerate of her husband's wishes, and decided to get married on the next night. The auspicious day will be at least a month away. After Queen Xing made a promise to her husband, she immediately got busy.

  Since Zhao Gou came to An'an, Zhao Fujin did not live in Li Yanqing, and she also moved to the palace to prepare for her own marriage.

Although the ceremony will be very low-key and unassuming, the dowry is not ambiguous at all. Zhao Gou simply opened the treasure house in the palace and asked Zhao Fujin to choose a hundred treasures as the dowry as he wished. She remembered that Li Yanqing liked Zhang Zeduan's paintings , stretched out his hand, and walked away the "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival" on the easel, and picked out a pair of plum vases from firewood kilns for Cao Yun, who likes porcelain, and picked out several sets of fine porcelain from the four major official kilns. Kang Bo, the chief executive, felt his heart tighten, what kind of eyesight did Di Ji have! All they took were the most beloved things of the Supreme Emperor.

  In addition to one hundred treasures, Zhao Fujin himself also prepared a generous dowry, but these dowry had already been sent to the Li Mansion first.

The so-called wedding actually refers to the ceremony at dusk. Han people have been married at night since ancient times, and most of the married women in the south of the Yangtze River travel by boat. Head towards Jinwan.

The bride, Zhao Fujin, was sitting on the second boat, accompanied by her second sister Zhao Jinluo, and 18 other court ladies. In order to show her honor, the person who sent the wedding today was Empress Zhu, the elder sister-in-law. It is a younger sister-in-law, a little weaker, so it is in line with etiquette and dignity to be sent by the eldest sister-in-law. Zhao Jinfu's biological mother, Da Liu, died in Zhenghe three years ago. She has been raised by Queen Zheng, so today Queen Mother Zheng Will appear at the wedding as the woman's elder.

  In the painting boat, Zhao Jinfu was wearing a luxurious wedding dress and a scarf on her head. She held the second sister's hand with her white hand, feeling a little nervous.

Zhao Jinluo patted her hand and smiled: "With your appearance and temperament, it's hard for Li Yanqing not to like you. The key is Yunniang's attitude. You get along well, and you will continue to be harmonious in the next few decades. You have the marriage you have today." , Second Sister is also relieved."

   "But tonight" Zhao Fujin whispered.

   "What happened tonight, didn't I tell you all about it? How about I teach you how to make your bridal chamber happy and sweet."

  Zhao Jinluo smiled slyly, pulled away the scarf, and whispered something to Zhao Fujin in his ear. Zhao Fujin blushed with shame, and squeezed the second sister's hand tightly, "Second sister, this is too embarrassing!"

Entering from a small river in Yongjin Bay, you will arrive at Li Yanqing's mansion in less than a mile. The mansion of Li Yanqing has already been decorated with lights and festoons, and it is festive. Only when a Ming media is married can they go to the front door, but the Li family has given enough face, not only going to the front door, stepping over the brazier, but also worshiping their elders like a married woman, just like a Ming media is getting married, Cao Yun also deliberately avoided the wedding.

  Amidst the laughter, Cao Sheng, who was acting as the master of ceremonies temporarily, shouted: "The wedding is over, let the bride and groom enter the bridal chamber!"

Li Yanqing walked slowly with the bride Zhao Jinfu holding a colored ball, and several maids held lamps in front to lead them. They walked along the long red carpet into Zhao Fujin's courtyard. This is the bridal chamber. Candies, peanuts, and copper coins were distributed to the couple, and the two walked into the brightly lit bridal chamber hand in hand. ． ． ． ． ．
