Empress Changsun rolled her eyes, calmed down, and then said:
"I believe you have also noticed, Erlang, that the recommendations made by the civil servants in the imperial court today are somewhat unreasonable."
Li Shimin hummed, and then asked:
"I have asked people from Baiqisi to investigate. I believe that tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to figure out why those civil servants recommended that boy out of character."
"But let's put this matter aside for now. Guanyin, do you think I should leave this job to Qin Ming?"
Queen Changsun sighed and asked an unexpected question:
"Erlang, Qin Ming's child is too wantless, and he has made great contributions to the country. If you directly issue an order to let him accompany the army, I am afraid it will be counterproductive."
Queen Changsun hit the nail on the head, and what she said was exactly where Li Er was worried.
He has been in contact with Qin Ming for a long time and has a certain understanding of Qin Ming.
Li Shimin might have figured him out a long time ago, but Qin Ming is a special kid. He is not short of money, he is not short of women, he is not famous, and he is not powerful, but he is also very talented.
Whether it is the pursuit of goods, farming, or strategy, he is very good. If he can become an official in the DPRK, he will be a pillar of the DPRK in the future.
But as the emperor, he had nothing in his hand to attract Qin Ming, which made Li Shimin feel like he had no way to start.
He was not short of money, but he was not rich in fame and fortune, which made Li Shimin unable to even draw a cake.
What makes him even more distressed is that Qin Ming is doing good things that benefit the country and the people. He really doesn't dare to force Qin Ming to do things he doesn't want to do!
After thinking about it, Li Shimin asked:
"Then Maid Guanyin, how do you think this matter should be handled more appropriately?"
Queen Changsun thought for a while and said:
"Erlang, why don't you recruit him into the palace tomorrow and test his tone?"
Li Shimin sighed and said:
"That's all it can do."
At this moment, Yue Chan hurriedly walked into the Li Zheng Hall, saluted Li Er and Queen Changsun and said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen, I am requesting an audience with Eunuch Liu outside the Da'an Palace."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and said:
"Xuan."
Since Li Yuan returned to Da'an Palace from Qinjiazhuang, the relationship between Li Er and Li Yuan has eased a lot.
Every now and then, he would take his eldest grandson to Da'an Palace to pay his respects to Li Yuan.
Occasionally when Li Yuan is in a good mood, he will play mahjong with him.
For this reason, Li Er is still very grateful to Qin Ming. Although he is not very clear about how Li Yuan solved the knot in his heart, he knows that Qin Ming must have contributed here.
[At this time, my father sent someone here, could it be because of the matter of that boy Qin Ming? 】
Li Shimin thought so.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed."
Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said:
"Get up, my father asked you to come over, but do you have something to explain?"
Eunuch Liu took out a letter from his arms and raised his hands above his head and said:
"The Emperor has a letter for the old slave to bring to His Majesty."
Seeing this, Yuechan took two steps to take the letter from Eunuch Liu and handed it to Li Er.
After a while
After Li Er finished reading the letter, he sighed and said:
"I know about this, please go back and recover."
"No, I will resign, old slave."
After speaking, Eunuch Liu bowed and took two steps back, then turned around and left the Lizheng Hall.
Queen Changsun put down her teacup and looked at Li Er with questioning eyes.
Li Er handed the letter in his hand to Queen Changsun and said:
"There is no need to recruit that boy into the palace tomorrow."
........
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Sishi, Qin Mansion, Lantian County.
Qin Ming originally planned to enter the palace to meet Li Er today, but Qin Ming had not yet left.
Qin Dabian rushed to Xingdaofang's house and told him something very important.
So Qin Ming had to temporarily put aside the time to enter the palace, and hurriedly got into the carriage with Qingwan and others and returned to Lantian County.
As soon as Qin Ming's carriage stopped at the gate of Qin Mansion, Yang Zijun came up with Mao Tu.
"Son."
"Let's go to the mansion first and talk as we go."
"okay."
After saying that, they followed Qin Ming and walked quickly towards the door of the mansion.
"Where is the old man now? In the study or in his own yard?"
"I'm still in the study at the moment, and my mother is talking to the master."
Qin Ming paused when he heard this and asked in a low voice:
"Zi Jun, did the old man come back just now? Did he feel wronged in his hometown in Taiyuan?"
Yang Zijun's eyes looked a little strange when she heard this, she thought about it and said:
"When the old man arrived at the house, he kept sighing. I was afraid that something had happened. My mother and I didn't dare to ask in detail, so we had to ask Qin Da to go to Chang'an to find you."
Qin Ming frowned when he heard this. The old man's letter was fine a few days ago. It's only been a few days!
Could it be that the second uncle who is not a son of a man has made the master unhappy again?
Or something happened at home?
Thinking of this, Qin Ming couldn't help but quicken his pace, and at the same time said to the women beside him:
"Well, I understand. Zijun and Wan'er, please go back to Qingxinyuan first. I'll go to the study to see the old man first."
Yang Zijun and Xiao Qingwan looked at each other and said:
"Yes, sir."
It doesn't take a while.
Qin Ming opened the door and saw the elderly figure sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered.
Qin Ming walked quickly to the old man and said respectfully:
"Grandson, meet your grandfather."
Li Yuan stood up, took Qin Ming's hand, and said with a sad face:
"My dear grandson, you are finally back. Grandpa has had a hard time waiting for you."
Qin Ming felt sad when he heard this and helped Li Yuan sit down. Then he asked:
"Grandpa, what happened? Didn't you write well a while ago?"
Li Yuan's lips trembled when he heard this, and he sighed for a long time and said:
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words."
Xiao Changxi, who was on the side, walked up to Qin Ming, bowed and said:
"Sir, let me go and see how the master's yard is being cleaned up."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this and said:
"Well, go ahead and ask the kitchen to make more dishes that Master likes to eat for lunch."
Xiao Changxi nodded and walked towards the door.
At this time, Li Yuan suddenly raised his head and said to the three beautiful women behind the sofa:
"You all follow Butler Xiao to the courtyard."
Three beautiful women bowed and said:
"I retire."
Only then did Qin Ming realize that besides him, Li Yuan, and Xiao Changxi, there were three women in the room.
One of the three women, whom Qin Ming knew, was the woman named Zhang who came with Li Yuan last time.
But what happened to the other two young girls who claimed to be concubines?
Perhaps seeing Qin Ming's doubts, Li Yuan smiled awkwardly and said:
"Those two are my new concubines."
Qin Ming took a deep breath when he heard this.
【Okay. 】
[How old are you, boss! 】
[Should I say that you will get stronger with age, or should I say that you are old and disrespectful? 】
As if seeing the shock in Qin Ming's eyes, Li Yuan sighed again and put on a sad and aggrieved look again.
"Why...."
Seeing this, Qin Ming temporarily stopped complaining in his heart.
he asked:
"Grandpa, there are only two of us in the study now. Can you tell your grandson what is going on?"
Li Yuan said sadly:
"Your second uncle is unfilial!"
