Royal Palace, nave.
Li Qing walked in and started to express himself from afar, "Long live my emperor, Li Qing."
After all the words were said, no one had come near yet.
"No courtesy." Zhu Qizhen didn't bother to worry about this, "Sir, sit down."
Li Qing sat down, smacked his lips, and said, "I feel a little thirsty after walking all the way."
"..." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, "Tea."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qing smiled, "Your Majesty, you want to ask about the Baoyuan Bureau, right?"
"There's no rush," Zhu Qizhen said, "I'm calling you back this time because I have an errand to give you."
Li Qing's smile froze, "What's the matter?"
"Wang Zhen's matter." Zhu Qizhen gave an overview of the situation. "Wang Zhen is of great use to me. He can't die yet. You can find a way to keep him."
Li Qing said angrily: "Your Majesty, I'm just a seventh-grade person. Do you think too highly of me?"
"If this is done, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver."
One hundred taels, or silver, do you have the nerve to say that? Li Qing shook his head slightly: "My abilities are limited, your Majesty should hire someone else."
"Besides you, I don't have a more suitable candidate." Zhu Qizhen said, "I know that sir is working hard, so I will give you another month's leave during the Chinese New Year this year."
In this case, it's not impossible... Li Qing's face softened slightly, "Your Majesty, this matter is a bit difficult!"
"It's difficult, so I just gave it to my husband. Others don't worry about it." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.
Li Qing was really drunk and cursed secretly: Why can't this little emperor understand the subtext? Is it because he really doesn't understand or is he just pretending to be confused? I have the word "More money required" engraved on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, I can give it a try with the ministers, but what about the Queen Mother?"
"This..." Zhu Qizhen had a headache.
He was both angry and helpless towards his mother, and the word "filial piety" held him captive.
"You don't have to worry about this. I'll find a way. All you need to do is make sure Wang Zhen doesn't die." Zhu Qizhen said.
Li Qing nodded and began to make conditions: "Your Majesty, official duties are too heavy these days. After finishing Wang Zhen's affairs, I want to be free to go to court."
The so-called freedom of going to court means that you want to go to court, but you don’t want to be unable to go to court.
In order to enter Wenyuan Pavilion and steal the ceremony, he promised to go to court often, and now he is ready to fight for it again.
Zhu Qizhen was a little annoyed, "Sir, aren't I interested enough in you?"
"Isn't it interesting enough?" Li Qing muttered, his voice was not loud, but it was enough for Zhu Qizhen to hear.
"You...!" Zhu Qizhen was furious, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't find anything interesting about it.
Li Qing has done so many things, but he is still only a seventh-grade one. With this alone, Zhu Qizhen himself can't get over it.
"Ang, I agree." Zhu Qizhen hummed, "What are your requirements during the processing? Do you want me to give you a Shangfang sword, or a token or something, so that you can do things more conveniently?"
"No need." Li Qing shook his head, "I have no intention of taking action?"
"You didn't plan to...you were kidding me, right?" Zhu Qizhen was really angry.
Li Qing curled his lips: "Your Majesty, no matter who you ask to do it, it won't be done well."
"Then you just nodded in agreement?"
"I can solve it." Li Qing said with a smile, "I can solve it without taking action, but on the contrary, I can't solve it."
Zhu Qizhen knew that he had misunderstood, and said dullly: "Let's talk about it."
"They proposed to let the three law divisions jointly investigate the case, and that's what they wanted..." Li Qing was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "No, Wang Zhen will die!"
"Can you hear me out?"
"Uh... Just tell me."
Li Qing said seriously: "In the officialdom, if you follow other people's rules, you will not lose at most, but you will never win."
After a pause, "What they hate is not Wang Zhen, but the Supervisor of Ceremonies. They finally caught such an opportunity this time, and those people will never give up easily, so no matter what they do, it is difficult for them to accept it;
If you want to break the situation, you have to not follow their rules. "
Zhu Qizhen vaguely recalled that the late emperor seemed to have said similar words, and nodded: "Sir, what you said makes sense, but how should we do it specifically?"
"It's very simple. The three law departments will investigate the case together, and the factory guards will also investigate the case. They will investigate Wang Zhen, and the factory guards will investigate them." Li Qing sneered, "How many clean people are there in the officialdom?
When both parties find each other guilty, then neither party is guilty! "
Li Qing seemed to be pointing the way, "This is called checks and balances!"
Look how awesome you are... Zhu Qizhen was a little dissatisfied, but he had to accept it.
Li Sin's strategy was simple, useful, and efficient, and he couldn't think of anything better.
"Then let's take what you said." Zhu Qizhen nodded.
"What about the money...?"
Three sentences cost me one hundred taels of silver. Why don’t you go and grab it? Zhu Qizhen snorted: "Sir, isn't this a failure?"
Li Qing laughed angrily: When I spoke to you, your father paid for it with gold. Young man, your plan is not good enough!
"Sure, I'll leave."
"Sir, please stay." Zhu Qizhen finally didn't want to hurt Li Qing's heart, "The money will be sent later."
"Um."
"By the way, how about Baoyuan Bureau?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
Li Qingdao: "Overall, it went quite smoothly..."
…
It was already evening when Li Qing returned home. He made a simple meal and lay comfortably on the bed after eating and drinking. He was thinking about how to steal the ceremony. After thinking about it, he fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Qing felt like he couldn't breathe.
When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw an old hand pinching his nose.
"So brave~!"
Li Qing used a carp to kick forward, but without even looking, he turned around and kicked to the side.
blocked? !
Li Qing was horrified, and then, a fist quickly enlarged in front of his eyes.
Until then, Li Qing finally got rid of his hysteria and shouted: "Master, please show mercy."
The fist stopped suddenly, like a car moving at high speed that was suddenly pressed to pause. The fist froze directly in the air without any trembling.
"After so many years, there is still not much progress." Zhang Sloppy retracted his fist, his old face appeared in Li Qing's field of vision, and hummed, "The vigilance needs to be strengthened."
Li Qing had a wry smile on his face, "Master, how can I compare to your abilities?"
"You still have to practice."
"...Yes." Li Qing sat on the bedside to put on his shoes and asked, "Master, I remember I locked the door. Did you climb over the wall and come in again?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Slutty gave him a shock, "I walked through the main entrance."
"You know how to walk through walls?" Li Qing was shocked.
"……Won't!"
"Then how did you get in?" Li Qing was curious.
Zhang had a sloppy look on his face and said, "I broke the lock."
Li Qing: "..."

royal palace.
After Zhu Qizhen and Queen Qian fell in love, they spoke soft words of love.
"The emperor is so powerful that I can't bear it alone. The emperor still..."
Zhu Qizhen blocked her mouth and kissed her for a while before letting her go and said softly: "We will have our own children, don't be discouraged."
Empress Qian smiled and said, "Not to mention this, the emperor is the Supreme Being. Emperors have always had many concubines. It is time for the emperor to have more concubines."
Zhu Qizhen blinked, "Do you really want me to choose another concubine?"
"Hmm." Empress Qian said quietly, "I am not very happy and have not been able to give birth to an heir so far. The foreign ministers will definitely think that I am arrogant and jealous because of my favor and ignore the ancestral temple and the country."
"No matter what they do." Zhu Qizhen snorted, "Whoever dares to gossip will have his tongue cut off."
Empress Qian smiled bitterly and said: "This is not a matter of gossiping. The emperor's heir is the foundation of the country. This cannot be careless."
"Yeah... OK." Zhu Qizhen was at his true age. He liked Qian, but he didn't reject more women.
Emperors have been like this since ancient times. He has no psychological burden, and Qian takes it for granted.
In this age where secularity and laws allow it, a man who has many wives and concubines is not considered a scumbag.
"When will the emperor accept the concubine?" Queen Qian asked.
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Zhu Qizhen said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if I and my concubine have a prince, it will only be a prince. Our son will be a prince."
Qian just smiled, her family knew her own affairs, and she knew her situation.
"Your Majesty should have made plans in advance."
"There's no rush, there are still a lot of things to deal with right now." Zhu Qizhen sighed, "We'll talk about it when we're done."
Queen Qian's eyes moved slightly: "Is the Emperor worried about...his mother?"
Zhu Qizhen nodded solemnly: "I really can't do much with her. This time I killed her father, which can be regarded as avenging you, but..."
He said helplessly: "She is not a good person either. She might become a monster again this time."
