Of course, there is a second reason, which is that Lin Qi and Xiao Chen have a very close relationship, which is particularly important.
Because everyone knows that Xiao Chen is very interested in his brothers. Now that your little brother has been entrusted with an important task by the emperor, you, as the eldest brother, should help him for a while, right?
As for whether he will help and to what extent, it depends on Lin Qi's ability.
It's hard for Li Wanjiang to say this directly. He can only let my little love understand it. But if he can't even understand my meaning, he won't be able to be reused in the future.
"I will definitely assist Mr. Lu Jing in getting this matter done!" Lin Qi promised enthusiastically.
"There's no need to rush. You've just arrived in the imperial court to do business, so it's not too late to get familiar with him first." Li Wanjiang was very satisfied.
But this means that the emperor is being polite to you. You should know whether you are in a hurry or not.
"I obey the decree." Lin Qi said what he should say and what he shouldn't say.
"As for your father Dongyang, he was imprisoned by the Censor Yanguan of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now he has to be reviewed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate before being released. This is called untying the bell but also having to tie the bell. If I were to forcibly intervene, I would not be able to do so. Okay." Li Wanjiang said, "But I think he will be out in less than ten days, so you don't need to worry."
"My Lord, thank you for your kindness," Lin Qi said.
"Well, go ahead. If anything happens in the future, you can come to see me directly, or you can go to Li Qiu." Li Wanjiang said.
"My lord, please retire!" Lin Qi said he understood.
After he came out, he didn't leave in a hurry. He deliberately stopped and chatted with Gong Shouli. When Li Qiu came out, he said goodbye to Gong Shouli and came over.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Li Qiu said, "This is the palace, it's outrageous for you to linger around."
"Hehe, aren't I waiting for the young prince?" Lin Qi said with a smile, "I just arrived at the court to do business, and the emperor entrusted me with an important task. I felt extremely uneasy. If I didn't say a few words to the young prince, I would not sleep at night. No sleep!"
"Humph, you're still the top pick. You're not so profound?" Li Qiu said with a smile.
"Then there is no need for you to be polite, little prince. If you were not the prince, it would not be my turn to be the number one scholar." Lin Qi said with a smile, "I heard Mr. Liu Qiheng and Mr. Xiao Hou said that you were originally selected as the number one scholar. Later, the emperor recognized your handwriting, Prince, and then ordered mine."
"Then I take it as if I really listened?" Li Qiu said with a smile.
"It's really true. How can this be false?" Lin Qi said, "My young prince, I still need your instructions on how to organize this northern fleet."
"This is your errand, why do you come to ask me?" Li Qiu looked shocked, "Besides, I only care about the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites, and I don't care about your Ministry of War."
"The Emperor just said that he would come to you if anything happens!" Lin Qi said that he had followed the order.
"Then you can't just come to me without doing anything," Li Qiu said.
"My lord, please give me a rule of thumb first so that you won't make mistakes when doing things in the future." Lin Qi said.
"You think about how to get rid of responsibility before you do anything, but this attitude is not advisable." Li Qiu said.
"It's not that I'm afraid of taking responsibility, I'm afraid of betraying the emperor's trust and your love." Lin Qi said, "First of all, who does this northern fleet belong to? Who will control it in the future? The fleet generals must follow Where to choose? What are the specific requirements?”
"Well, you just asked for an idea." Li Qiudao, "Currently, our navy does not have a unified command system. It usually cooperates with the army in operations and rarely acts independently. This is probably why our navy has always been The fundamental reason is that it is weak, so the emperor hopes that this fleet can be different from it."
"So the fleet we formed does not belong to the Great Zhou Navy. It is under the direct control of the emperor. However, the emperor certainly cannot take care of specific affairs, so he sent me to temporarily take charge of it. After the fleet reaches a certain scale in the future, it will be up to who to hand it over to. ."
"As for the fleet general, we have to discuss this and choose it, because I have only been here for a short time, and I don't know much about the situation in the army, especially the navy... The principle is to select talents, it is better to lack than to overfill, and it is best to Select a group of generals from young officers."
"Your Majesty, it's not enough to just take charge temporarily. If you don't have a specific position, you will not be able to take charge of this fleet in the future. In other words, after we have worked so hard to build the fleet, we will end up letting someone else do it. If we picked peaches, wouldn't our work be in vain?" Lin Qi said.
"You think too much, don't you?" Li Qiu said, "I am in charge according to the decree, how can I say that my name is unfair and my words are inconsistent with my words?"
"You are following an oral order!" Lin Qi said, "How can oral orders count for important military matters? Your Majesty, you must have a legitimate identity! Even if you only hold the title of fleet commander, since the emperor has asked you to take charge, You must take full responsibility for this fleet!"
"I understand what you mean." Lin Qiu stopped, looked around subconsciously, and whispered, "I'm just worried that this will be suspected of recruiting military power. Besides, Haining Bay is too close to Fengyang City. This year The newly built canal has been opened again..."
"Little Prince, what you know, doesn't the Emperor know?" Lin Qi said, "Since the Emperor has appointed you to do this, you should do your part! If you are timid in doing anything and dare not take the responsibility, the Emperor will do it again in the future. How can I entrust you with such an important task?"
"Let me think about this for a moment." Li Qiu said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to report to the Ministry of War. I'll say hello to Lu Jing first. The emperor's order may come down this afternoon."
In the evening, Lin Qi came to Xiao Chen's house wearing a brand-new fifth-grade official uniform. He was very proud. The villain pretended to Ling'er, Xiao Ye and others, "You little commoners really don't even look at me. Why don't you see me?" kneel?"
"Oops? Your kid has disappeared since he won the top prize. I couldn't find anyone to buy you a drink, but now you come to fight with us!" Ouyang Yunyi said angrily.
"That day when he was parading around the streets as the top pick, we went to the street to cheer him on. You saw how arrogant he was and didn't pay any attention to us." Shangguan Wuji said with a smile.
"Wealth is easy to change, wives are easy to be rich, and valuable friends are easy to change." Xiao Yu shook his head and sighed, "In the future, Mr. Lin will become famous and his future will be limitless. We can no longer reach such heights."
"I get angry when I see his character. Trick him!" Ling'er said.
Xiao Ye and Yun Yi rushed forward and put Lin Qi to the ground without any explanation. One grabbed his shoulders and the other grabbed his feet, and raised their buttocks directly on the ground.
"Hey, stop making trouble, the official uniform I just received is stained!" Lin Qi shouted.
In the middle of the laughter, Xiao Chen and Fatty heard the sound and stopped their nonsense.
As soon as he came in and sat down, Lin Qi took off his official uniform, banged the table and complained that he was hungry. I have been so busy these days that I haven't eaten much, and I have been hungry all day today.
I met the emperor in the morning, the minister at noon, and my colleagues in the afternoon. I finally got home and saw my relatives, so I could have a good meal.
