Seeing Qi Liang's somewhat stunned expression, Liu Mingzhi casually picked up the bamboo pole on the sand table and gently slid a circle on the map.
"What? Are you still not satisfied with the Governor of the Three Prefectures who oversees all military and political affairs within the Three Prefectures?"
Qi Liang came back to his senses, turned around and looked at Young Master Liu hurriedly waving his hand.
"No, no, I'm not dissatisfied.
Brother, I'm just... I'm a little too surprised. "
Young Master Liu chuckled and looked back at Qi Liang. He took the bamboo pole in his hand and tapped it lightly in the palm of his left hand a few times.
"As long as you are satisfied, if you are satisfied, I don't have to worry about it as a brother."
Qi Liang glanced at Young Master Liu and took a few puffs of cigarettes with a hesitant expression.
"Brother."
"Um?"
"Brother, I have something to say, should I say it or not?"
Young Master Liu waved the bamboo pole in his hand, chuckled and paced back and forth in front of the map.
"Hehehe, but it doesn't matter."
Qi Liang looked hesitant and silent for a long time, then stretched out his hand to scratch his brow.
"Brother, the burden of the Governor of the Three Prefectures is really too heavy. My little brother, I am not very talented and have little knowledge. I am afraid that I will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility that you have entrusted to me, big brother!
Therefore, I hope that you, brother, can think twice before acting and consider it carefully. "
Seeing Qi Liang's hesitant expression, Young Master Liu frowned slightly and dropped the bamboo pole in his hand on the sand table.
Immediately, he casually picked up the tea on the sand tray and walked slowly towards the desk a few steps away.
When Qi Liang saw Young Master Liu frowning, his mind tightened suddenly, and he quickly turned around and followed him.
Young Master Liu gently sat on the chair, looked at Qi Liang who was following him, and casually crossed his legs.
"Sit down and talk."
"Yes, thank you, brother."
Young Master Liu picked up the tea, tasted it briefly, stroked the tea lid in his hand, and leaned directly on the chair.
"You can manage two state capitals in an orderly manner, why can't you manage three state capitals?"
Qi Liang blew out a puff of smoke and looked at Young Master Liu sitting opposite, with a bitter smile on his lips.
"Brother, what you said is very light.
Two state capitals, three state capitals, if you say it with your mouth, it is just one more number.
However, if we put it into reality, the difference between two state capitals and three state capitals is huge.
Since then, it is not just a number, but a major event involving the livelihood and administration of millions of people in one government and five states. "
Young Master Liu smiled calmly, chewed the tea leaves between his teeth and asked, "So?"
“Brother, I’m still saying the same thing, I’m afraid I can’t bear this heavy burden.
Brother, even if you ask me, the younger brother, to be transferred to another state capital as an official, that would be better than letting me, the younger brother, shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the governor of the three prefectures. "
Young Master Liu leaned forward and put down the teacup in his hand, casually took out the jade fan from his waist and shook it vigorously, shaking it gently.
"Oh, flat tone is also okay?"
Qi Liang nodded hurriedly and replied: "Yes, yes, it's fine."
Young Master Liu gently shook the jade fan in his hand, raised his brows and hummed a few times.
"Hahaha, brother, during the three years you served as the governor of the two governments in the North, you have made outstanding achievements, the officials have been in charge, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment.
All the officials from the Ministry of Civil Service and Merit Examination Department have all praised you for your achievements in the past three years.
Under such circumstances, you ask me to transfer you to another state capital as an official.
What do you mean? Brother, do you want to give me a reputation of not being able to know how to make good use of others, and not being able to distinguish between rewards and punishments? "
Qi Liang's expression tightened and he said hurriedly: "Brother, I definitely don't mean this. I definitely don't mean this."
"You don't mean that?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely not what I meant."
"Since you don't have this intention, then just shoulder this burden."
Qi Liang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded helplessly.
"Okay, if that's the case, then let me carry it."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile, reached out and picked up the book that had been upside down on the desk.
"Qi Liang."
"Brother, tell me."
"Brother, according to the imperial court's regulations, the highest rank of a feudal official can only be the second grade.
Therefore, even if you become the governor of the third government, you can still only be a high-ranking official of the second rank.
Although I am your brother-in-law, I cannot make a special case for you. "
Therefore, in order to prevent you from being wronged, you should take another position as Minister of the Ministry of War. "
Qi Liang looked stunned and didn't react for a while.
"Huh? What?"
"Brother, I say, you can just get another position as Minister of the Ministry of War."
When Qi Liang heard Mr. Liu's affirmative tone, he was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Over the years, I have been in the officialdom for so many years, and I am no longer the newcomer to the officialdom who just entered the temple and didn't understand anything.
The governors of the three prefectures, who were in charge of all the important military and political affairs of the three prefectures, were also given the official position of Minister of the Ministry of War.
In an instant.
Qi Liang only felt that he was blessed, and he had figured out everything in an instant.
The words that Big Brother just said by himself contained a lot of profound meaning from the beginning.
There is no vacancy in the so-called court for the time being, and he, the so-called brother-in-law, is sorry for having wronged his brother-in-law so much.
Every word he said before and after was just an excuse.
My mother-in-law is the eldest, my mother-in-law is the eldest.
Brother, by arranging his duties in this way, he obviously wants to act as the backing for his nephew Liu Chengzhi!
backing! backing.
Say so, say so.
hiss!
Qi Liang suddenly took a breath of cold air, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Big brother...he is planning to appoint his nephew Liu Chengzhi as the current crown prince.
In just a short moment, Qi Liang had figured everything out.
Crown Prince and Crown Prince, Crown Prince and Crown Prince.
After so many years, eldest brother, he is finally going to make this boy Chengzhi the crown prince.
I just don’t know if the second sister knows what the eldest brother is thinking.
If she knew that her eldest brother was going to appoint Chengzhi as the crown prince, she would definitely be very excited.
No, no, no matter what, you have to control your mood.
If you look too excited or too happy, if your elder brother mistakenly thinks that you have other thoughts, then you will be in trouble.
If he was misunderstood, he would be misunderstood, and it would not matter at all.
However, I must not affect my nephew's affairs because of my own reasons.
Calm down, must be calm.
Qi Liang suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Young Master Liu pretending to be calm.
"Brother."
Liu Mingzhi gently turned a page of the book and raised his eyes to look at Qi Liang.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Brother, since you have said so, then I have to be respectful and obey your orders.
My little brother obeys, thank you very much for your kindness. "
Young Master Liu saw Qi Liang pretending to be calm, and a smile flashed quickly in his eyes.
"I won't wrong you."
Qi Liang sat up straight suddenly, his head shaking like a rattle.
"No grievance, no grievance, no grievance at all."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, stood up and walked to the window sill and stopped.
He looked at the sky outside the window, then looked back at Qi Liang with a faint smile.
"Qi Liang, the sun is setting. Go back and rest early."
Upon hearing this, Qi Liang immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and saluted Young Master Liu.
"Brother, please leave first."
"Well, go ahead."
Qi Liang had just taken two steps when Young Master Liu seemed to have thought of something and quickly waved his hand.
"Wait a minute."
"Brother, do you have anything else to do?"
"After you go back, if you have nothing to do, take the children to sit with your father-in-law and mother-in-law.
In these years, the two elders have worried about your family a lot. "
"Brother, to tell you the truth, before the younger brother came to you, the second sister had already explained the matter to the younger brother once.
After my little brother left you, he was planning to rush over directly. "
Hearing Qi Liang's answer, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehehe, your second sister is still thoughtful.
If that's the case, then hurry up and get there. "
"My dear brother, please leave."
Qi Liang hugged a fist and walked happily out of the study.
Liu Mingzhi watched Qi Liang leave the courtyard outside the study, lowered his head, held the books in the room, and started reading.
However, it only takes half a cup of tea.
Young Master Liu closed the book in his hand out of boredom and looked toward the courtyard.
"Willow Pine."
Liu Song immediately stood up and walked towards Young Master Liu with a dry pipe in hand.
"The little one is here."
"Tell me, is this kid Chengzhi capable of taking on such a big responsibility?"
Liu Song's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he coughed in embarrassment.
"Hmph, cough, cough, cough, cough."
"What about that, young master, you have been busy all day today, and you must be sweating a lot.
I'll go and ask someone to prepare hot water for your bath. I'll leave first. "
As soon as Liu Song finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Young Master Liu to react.
"Master, will the younger one go first? I'm busy."
Young Master Liu looked at the sound of Liu Song leaving in panic, raised his hand and slapped the window sill in front of him, and sighed with regret.
"well!"
After sighing, Mr. Liu gestured towards the window, then turned back to his desk and sat down.
He first picked up a piece of rice paper and laid it on the desk, then picked up an ink block and gently ground it in the inkstone.
Just as Mr. Liu was studying ink, a beautiful figure floated over, and its ethereal figure flew from the window and landed next to Mr. Liu.
"Quier meets the young master."
Young Master Liu put the ink aside and took out a fine pen from the pen holder with a smile.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Master."
Vermillion Quelian walked up behind Young Master Liu at a leisurely pace, raised a pair of jade hands and gently beat him on Young Master Liu's back.
"Master, what orders do you have from Que'er?"
"We'll talk about it later."
"Okay, Que'er understands."
After Liu Dashao wrote something on the rice paper with a quick pen, he casually placed the fine hair in his hand on the inkstone.
"Quieer."
"The bird is here."
"Come here."
Suzaku nodded, and immediately leaned Liu's waist close to Young Master Liu's ear.
"Master, please tell me."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head slightly, leaned into the beauty's fair ear and whispered softly.
"do you understand?"
Suzaku turned to look at Young Master Liu and nodded his head gently a few times.
"Yeah, yeah, Que'er understands."
"Go ahead."
Suzaku licked her delicate red lips a few times, reached out and grabbed Young Master Liu's arm and shook it gently.
"Master!"
Young Master Liu pinched the beauty's jade cheek happily: "Hehehe, what's wrong?"
"Master, it's actually nothing. Que'er just wants to ask you, is the matter you asked me to do urgent?"
"That's not true. There's no problem in being three to five days late."
Zhuque's eyes lit up, and she turned her delicate body slightly, raised her slender jade legs and sat astride Young Master Liu's arms.
"real?"
"Hehehe, of course it's true."
Suzaku smiled, raised his slender white arms, and wrapped his slender hands around Liu Dashao's neck.
"In that case, Que'er is not in a hurry to leave."
Young Master Liu moved his body a few times, changed into a comfortable posture, and with a smile, raised his hand and patted the beauty's buttocks a few times.
"Little goblin, do you miss me, Master?"
"Hmm." Suzaku groaned softly, looking at Young Master Liu with a pair of beautiful eyes tenderly, his mouth slightly opened and he nodded his head a few times: "Yeah, I think about it."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and smiled as he smelled the faint fragrance emanating from the beauty's delicate body.
"Oh, let me tell you, young master, what do you think?"
The beauty rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with charming eyes, then untied the jade belt around Young Master Liu's waist, and then took his palm and placed it on her chest, which was full of peaks and waves.
"Master, it's been a long time since you pampered Que'er."
"Little goblin, Master, I'm all sweaty today and I haven't showered yet!"
Beauty Liu straightened her waist, pursed her lips and kissed Young Master Liu gently on the face.
"Master, will you be busy later?"
Young Master Liu held the beauty's waist and shook his head with a smile.
"not busy."
Upon hearing this, Suzaku narrowed her tender eyes slightly, turned her head towards the backyard and pursed her red lips.
"Then! A mandarin duck bath?"
Young Master Liu turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window, then grabbed the beauty's earlobe and twisted it gently.
"Quier, come down first."
Suzaku tapped his head a few times and immediately stood up and left Young Master Liu's arms.
Young Master Liu stood up and stretched, opened the middle drawer of the desk, picked up the rice paper on the desk and put it in the drawer.
Then, he scanned the things on the desk again, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he took the beautiful woman's wrist with a smile and walked slowly and slowly out of the study.
"Quieer."
"Yeah, yeah."
After Young Master Liu locked the door, he put his arms around the beautiful lady's waist.
"Let's go."
"Yeah, yeah."
Suzaku and Young Master Liu looked at each other, then jumped into the air. Within a few ups and downs, their figures had disappeared into the courtyard of the study.
The backyard of Liu Mansion.
A small courtyard that no one is allowed to approach without Young Master Liu's permission.
The voices of Young Master Liu and Suzaku floated outside the room, and they walked into the room talking and laughing.
After a long time.
Amidst the sound of rushing water, moving notes gradually came to mind in the room.
