After seeing the house, Li Yanqing took a ox cart back to Hongqiao. As soon as the ox cart arrived at Hongqiao, he saw his father Li Daqi anxiously asking Mo Jun about something at the entrance door?

Li Yanqing quickly leaned over and asked, "Dad is looking for me?"

Li Daqi suddenly turned around and finally saw his son. He hurriedly ran up and complained, "I'm so anxious that I'm so anxious. Where are you?"

"I'm going to find Zheng Xiaopang. What's the urgent matter for Dad?"

"What else can there be urgent matters?"

Li Daqi leaned forward and whispered: "Teacher Liang sent someone to find you. He has been looking for you twice in a row. You can go quickly!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Then I'll go now."

"Remember, don't talk nonsense. He is not an ordinary person." Li Daqi told his son worriedly.

"Dad, don't worry! I know what's going on in my heart."

Li Yanqing immediately asked the ox cart to turn around and go to Liang Taifu's mansion. Looking at the ox cart away, Li Daqi said to Mo Jun worriedly: "Teo Liang is so anxious to find him, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster?"

Mo Jun smiled slightly and said, "The little official is a pearl. Although the wind and sand are very strong now, it cannot hide the luster of the pearl. Whether it is the handsome, Tong Guan, or Liang Shicheng, they are all pearl-knowing people. They will definitely not abandon the pearls like Xiao official!"

Li Daqi sighed slightly, "I'm afraid that someone would rather destroy Mingzhu than let others get it."

"It is indeed possible, but I believe that the little officials have a clear mind and can protect themselves."

Li Yanqing came to Liang Shicheng's mansion again. A courtyard was waiting at the door. When he saw Li Yanqing coming, he hurriedly said, "Prince Li, please! The Grand Tutor is waiting in the study."

Li Yanqing followed the courtyard to the inner house. As he walked, the courtyard whispered: "The Grand Tutor has been in a very bad mood these two days, so officials must be careful when speaking."

Li Yanqing nodded, "Thank you for the reminder!"

Soon, the two of them came to the study and whispered to the courtyard: "Master, General Li is here!"

"Come in!"

Liang Shicheng's slightly sharp voice came from the room, but he could hear the tone very calm, neither panic nor excitement.

Li Yanqing walked into the inner study room. The light was a little dim. Liang Shicheng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the dark cloudy sky. His face was as gloomy as the sky.

"It's going to rain heavily!"

Liang Shicheng sighed slightly and looked back at Li Yanqing, "When did Yanqing come back?"

"Just arrived at noon yesterday, I took a month off."

"Does Tong Guan approve your leave?"

"I feel that he can't ask for anything."

Liang Shicheng smiled, "I'm afraid he doesn't think so now."

"Taifu, what happened to the court?" Li Yanqing asked tentatively.

"Things happened yesterday. In the eyes of others, it may be a small matter, but in our eyes, it is a shocking event."

Liang Shicheng stared at Li Yanqing with sharp eyes and said slowly: "The third son of the emperor, Zhao Kai, was officially enthroned as Prince Yun yesterday, and can enter and exit the ban at any time, without limiting the morning and evening. Do you understand what this means?"

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Although Prince Yun is close, he is not Qin, Jin, Qi and Chu, nor the kings of Liang and Bian. I feel that the emperor has not really made up his mind yet."

The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system and was very particular about the title of princes. For example, princes such as Qin, Jin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Shu, etc. had higher status than other princes. In fact, the position of princes was determined based on the distance from the capital. For example, before the Tang Dynasty was granted the title of Prince Yong or King Qin, they were all princes close to Chang'an. Therefore, Li Shimin's title of King Qin means that he also had the right to inherit the throne.

The capital of the Song Dynasty was in Kaifeng, which was the former Liang and Bian land. If Zhao Kai was named King of Liang or King of Bian, it would be a serious problem. Now he is only named Prince Yun, which can only be said to be further from the Eastern Palace, but it has not yet reached the level of threatening the position of the crown prince.

Liang Shicheng nodded secretly. Li Yanqing really looked at the problem thoroughly, and many court ministers may not have his vision. No wonder after the prince was suppressed, he had to do everything possible to remind him that he should not let Li Yanqing be swept away by Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others.

"Please sit down!"

Li Yanqing sat down, Liang Shicheng smiled gently and said, "You are very good at comforting people. I have been so anxious about the matter of the prince during this period. It is also your words that make me feel that the situation of the prince is not too bad. Thank you."

"Watching care will cause chaos, and the Taifu is a mystery to the authorities."

"It's true. I'm too worried, but I'll think of the problem seriously."

Liang Shicheng smiled again, "Tong Guan reported your merits to the court the day before yesterday. It was barely fair. I submitted them to the emperor. The emperor's approval was released early this morning, and only four words were "Extraordinary reward!" This time, the emperor still valued it very much. Even Zhong Shidao was named the crown prince's junior teacher and was awarded the title of Juye County Duke. Zhang Shuye was appointed as the prefect of Daming Prefecture, Zong Ze was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of War, and even Zhao Mingcheng was promoted to the Zuo Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue Department, commending his integrity and achievements in restoring the order of Qizhou. You have the merits of pacifying the Hebei rioters. Although you have little experience, the emperor has decided to promote you. After all, there is a precedent for Wang Fu to rise to the eighth level overnight."

After pausing for a while, Liang Shicheng said lightly: "I think this is also the emperor's apology to Zhong Shidao. Someone secretly reported the emperor that the Liangshan army had finished its food, but was successfully broken by Song Jiang and other bandits. The emperor was so angry that he scolded Tong Guan for not being able to succeed and failing."

Li Yanqing suddenly realized, "Is there a surveillance person around Tong Guan?"

Liang Shicheng snorted coldly, "It is related to military power. How can the official trust someone completely?"

Li Yanqing was silent, and after a while he asked again: "Have you not yet gotten the specific position of the humble position?"

"The emperor's penis is still in my hands. I want to discuss it with you first, and then I will transfer it to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel will draft the promotion plan and report it step by step. Your father's intention is to ask you to be an official in the prefectures and counties. What about you?"

"I want to stay in the court and accumulate a few years of connections before talking about it."

Liang Shicheng nodded, "It makes sense. It's always your own wishes. But there is one thing I want to remind you that the rewards for military merits are usually more virtual than real. Don't have too much hope for the word "exceptional". Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course, Li Yanqing knew that military merits would be promoted and rewarded, but there were very few positions with real power. Xiang Zhong Shidao was granted the title of Jiedushi, the General, the Prince's Young Division, the Secretary of the Clerk of the Ministry of War, and the title of Duke of Juye County, but there was no real power, which was equivalent to being idle at home.

It is actually the same with Li Yanqing. His rank is a court official, and his official position is a minister of the attendant censor, but this attendant censor is a minister of the palace. He is in charge of the officers who lose their rituals during the meeting. If he is not an official in the court, he is actually a false position. His real position is a missionary officer, and the commander of the army. Unless he continues to follow Tong Guan, the war to destroy Liangshan will end and his missionary position will end.

Li Yanqing didn't care how many false positions he had. He just wanted to know what his real position was?

"The Taifu should have an idea for the specific arrangements for the humble official!"

Liang Shicheng smiled slightly, "It should be said that it is the meaning of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince hopes that you will continue to stay in the Censorate."

Liang Shizheng saw that Li Yanqing looked calm and seemed to have no doubts. He had to continue to explain: "The reason why I asked you to stay in the Censorate is because the Censorate has always been in my hands. You are now the Censor of the Palace and is actually my recommendation. I consider letting you improve the Taiyuan and take up the position of the Taiyuan Assistant Censor of the Sixth-ranked Taiyuan. This is a real power and is very beneficial to your accumulation of official connections. I wonder what you mean?"

Regarding Li Yanqing's position, the Ministry of Personnel drafting a plan is only a form, and the real decision is still in the hands of Liang Shicheng.

Li Yanqing immediately stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Liang Shicheng said happily: "I am rushing to come to you today. It is for this matter. We must make a decision as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. As for your official rank rewards, etc., the Ministry of Personnel and the Privy Council need to confirm it again and strive to make a formal decision tomorrow."

"Please take care of the Grand Tutor. If you don't disturb the Grand Tutor, you will leave first."

Liang Shicheng nodded with a smile, "Is there anything I need my help in life?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "No need for the time being."

"Okay! Go back first and wait for the good news."

Liang Shicheng sent Li Yanqing out of the yard. He stood in front of the yard and looked at Li Yanqing away with his hands behind his back. Liang Shicheng has an unprecedented sense of crisis recently. He strongly felt that one day he would be liquidated. He must prepare for the future and plant his own power in the court as soon as possible.
