Chapter six hundred and eighteenth secret fight
Li Yanqing sat down quickly. At this time, the maid brought them hot tea. Li Yanqing took a sip of the tea ceremony: "The Northern Expedition Office was officially disbanded yesterday!"
Liang Shicheng smiled faintly, "Yesterday was just nominally disbanded. In fact, when Zhong Shidao knelt in front of the palace gate, the Northern Expedition Army had already been disbanded."
Li Yanqing felt nervous. It seemed that Liang Shicheng was going to hit him with the matter that day. He also knew that he helped Master Zhong in front of Yanfu Palace that day. Some people would praise him for his righteousness, but more people would laugh at him for being stupid and destroy his future.
Li Yanqing also repeatedly asked himself, if time goes back, would he still go to help Master Zong? The final conclusion was that he would still go to help him. If he doesn't accept it, it wouldn't be him, Li Yanqing.
Liang Shicheng stared at him with sharp little eyes for a while, and he sighed again, "But no wonder Zhong Shidao was so incompetent. His youngest son was innocently killed, and no one could withstand the blow..."
Although Liang Shicheng changed his direction to knock, Li Yanqing would rather he not say this. The anger in his heart burned and the teacup in his hand was pinched. However, Li Yanqing knew that Liang Shicheng was observing his expression, so he quickly drank a sip of tea and covered the anger in his heart with the tea.
Soon Li Yanqing calmed down and said lightly: "Shishou Zhong really can't bear this blow, but fortunately, Zhang Yun was severely punished, which can be considered a little comfort."
Liang Shicheng looked at Li Yanqing's expression coldly from the side. He didn't see Li Yanqing's abnormality, so he sighed and continued: "I have some responsibility for this matter."
Li Yanqing looked up at Liang Shicheng, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, "What does this matter have to do with the Taifu?"
"I shouldn't have asked Wang Ding to investigate this case. I wanted to arrest Tong Guan for the handle, but Tong Guan noticed that he actually killed someone and silenced him. I had known that I shouldn't have been too much trouble."
Liang Shicheng's explanation can be said to be very perfect and clever, but in Li Yanqing's opinion, this is an absolute stolen bell. Does Liang Shicheng really think he is a fool?
He also sighed slightly and said, "I have experienced the methods of Taiwei Tong."
Liang Shicheng laughed, "What can he do if he has the means? Can Sun Wukong still turn over the palm of the Tathagata Buddha?"
Li Yanqing was stunned. How could Liang Shicheng know this allusion? Has he also read the Great Sage's Dazhetian Palace written by himself?
Li Yanqing smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Liang Shicheng no longer mentioned the matter of Master Zhong. He tried from various angles and finally realized that Li Yanqing did not take the matter of Master Zhong to heart. I am afraid that at this time, Li Yanqing was more concerned about himself.
As the topic changed, Liang Shicheng smiled and said, "You are so anxious today. Are you here for your own errand?"
Li Yanqing nodded, "I haven't been appointed yet, and I'm always a little uneasy!"
Liang Shicheng glanced at him and said slowly: "Do you still remember my promise to be the Chief Censor of the Censor?"
Li Yanqing thought about it and it seemed that this was the case, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Being the Chief Censor must be at least a third rank, and the low-ranking position is not enough."
"It's not necessary to follow the third grade. As long as I, Liang Shicheng, can still take the post out of the ordinary. It's just... It's a pity!"
Liang Shicheng looked at him deeply, shook his head again, "What a pity!"
"I am a little confused, Taifu... can you explain it clearly?"
"Tell you this way! The day after the official summoned your father, I mentioned this to him, saying that Deng Zhongcheng had done too many good people, and that the Censorate had made no achievements in the past two years. I suggest that the official choose a young and promising official to take charge of the Censorate. The official agreed and asked me to give him a list. I listed three of them. The first one is you. If you don't go to help Master Zhongdao, then you will be the position of the Censor Zhongcheng. Unfortunately, you can't control it at the critical moment and the opportunity that has arrived has flew again. This is why you have not appointed an errand for a long time."
Li Yanqing suddenly felt relieved. It turned out that this was the case. He had no plan to become an official in the court. If Liang Shicheng had stopped his idea of leaving himself in the capital because of the support of the teacher, that would be a good thing.
He thought this in his heart, but he could not miss the words he agreed to. He said lightly: "If it were the Taifu, I would have helped him too!"
Liang Shicheng couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, but he was satisfied. This kid made a random metaphor, but wasn't this what he wanted? He helped him when he was in a downturn.
However, Liang Shicheng didn't know that because of the death of Zhong Lin, Li Yanqing had already formed a deep hatred with him. I am afraid that at the last moment, he would not help him, but to return him to his body with his own way.
Liang Shicheng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The prince means to let you go, and the official also agrees. I guess the official wants to talk to you. You might as well tell me first, where do you want to go? I'll do it."
After saying that, Liang Shicheng stared at Li Yanqing with bright eyes, and saw every look on his face. Li Yanqing's face showed a slightly disappointed look, as if he had not thought about going to another place. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before sighing helplessly: "My hometown is in Xiangzhou. If possible, I want to go to Daming Mansion or Zhending Mansion."
Li Yanqing knew Liang Shicheng very well. If his intentions were consistent with the prince’s suggestions, he would inevitably cause trouble. Since he was doing superficial work, these details should be considered clearly.
Liang Shicheng nodded, "You are a fourth-rank official. Although you have a little lack of qualifications, you have great military achievements. You can be a governor or a co-magistrate. Well, I will tell the officials that you will go to Zhending Mansion."
Li Yanqing stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your support from the Grand Tutor!"
Li Yanqing knew that he could not escape this ceremony. If he did not perform the ceremony in the door, it did not mean that Liang Shicheng would forget it. If he made up for this ceremony, both parties would be exposed.
Li Yanqing immediately declined Liang Shicheng's intention to keep him for lunch tea on the grounds of seeing his father. Liang Shicheng was also unintentional. Seeing that he refused to drink tea, he stopped trying to keep him and asked the courtyard to send him away.
Li Yanqing left, Liang Shicheng's face became slightly gloomy, and he sneered: "I want to go to Hebei, but I will make plans for Ruyi."
...........
After leaving Liang Mansion, Li Yanqing came to Hongqiao Baoyanzhai. In fact, he had been back to the capital a long time ago, and he only came to Baoyanzhai today. He felt a little sad.
As soon as he walked into Baoyanzhai, he heard his father's angry scolding, "I have given you so many times, but the problem lies in the milk, you just can't solve it. What's the use of spending so much money every month to raise you? It's better to raise three pigs!"
Li Yanqing didn't expect that his father would curse so meanly, and he frowned and walked in directly.
In the yard, three pharmacists were lowering their heads tremblingly, and their father Li Daqi stood on the steps and scolded the three pharmacists with anger on their faces.
"you....."
Li Daqi was about to continue scolding him again, but when he turned around, he saw his son coming in and immediately stopped scolding him.
Li Yanqing walked up and smiled, "Why is Dad so angry?"
Li Daqi said angrily: "I'm anxious! I promised to send the shampoo to the palace for use by the official family, but it's almost a month since I can't do it. How can I not jump into the foot?"
Li Yanqing had already learned from his wife that his father was summoned to the palace by the emperor. He immediately understood his father's anxiety and ignored his harshness just now. If he became anxious, he might be even more excessive than his father's words.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Li Daqi sighed, "It was good to use cow milk to replace water in shampoo, but it smelled sour in a few days, and it could not solve this problem."
Li Yanqing immediately understood that it was a problem with preservatives. Their rouge was made of clove oil as a preservative, which was barely enough for rouge, but it was not enough for milk. It was still easy to deteriorate over time.
He thought for a while and laughed, "Or don't use milk, but use tea and fruit oil instead."
Li Daqi hesitated and said, "Actually, I thought of it, but I told the official that it was a shampoo and there was no breast inside. I always felt a bit deceiving the emperor!"
"You can use the color to match it! It's just milky white, and propolis is also a good thing, and the anticorrosion effect is no less than lilac oil. Daddy might as well give it a try!"
Li Daqi's eyes lit up, "Is propolis okay?"
This is also a headache for Li Daqi. Because the anti-corrosion effect is not good, in summer, guests always come to complain about the deterioration of rouge. If the propolis effect is better, it is best.
He said to the three pharmacists: "The recipes for milk, soapy ceram, Zhu Ling, Wuwuzi and Rendancao remain unchanged, and the ingredients of the scented medicine are not changed. Then add clove oil and propolis, and take out the samples for me within three days!"
"We get it!"
The three of them bowed and cast a grateful look at Li Yanqing, and then they left in a hurry.
Li Daqi had already returned to the living room to sit down, and Li Yanqing also sat down aside and smiled and said, "I heard from Yunniang that Daddy has also been awarded the title?"
A hint of pride flashed in Li Daqi's eyes, and he sighed slightly, "It's not because of you? I'm going back to Tangyin and repair the tomb for your mother. I pity her to go too early, otherwise... now..."
