Li Qi entered the palace and saw Jiang Qian again.
I originally thought that the prince would be disgusted with me because he mentioned Concubine Liu last time.
But what Li Qi never expected was that he would take the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Li Shidu, what happened last time was because I went too far, so please don't take it to heart."
"Your Highness, it's obviously my fault for that matter. Your Highness doesn't care about me. I'm too late to be grateful. How could I still take it to heart?" Li Qi said with a smile.
Jiang Qian said: "Ever since that woman entered the palace, my father has been obsessed with alchemy. Over the years, he has become less and less involved in government affairs. Last year, there was a disaster in Guangnan. Several ministers came to me and asked me to report to my father. As a result, the memorial was submitted.
, my father didn’t even look at it... In the end, the emperor’s uncle took out more than one million taels of disaster relief money to solve the matter..."
Having said this, he looked at Li Qi: "Li Shidu, what do you think we should do about this?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and thought: You ask me what to do? That's very simple. You can just seek to usurp the throne, but can you do it?
"Your Highness, maybe the Emperor has his own intentions, so you don't need to worry too much."
"How can I not be worried? If my father continues like this, what will happen in the future? Nowadays, corrupt officials are rampant in both the government and the public. The buying and selling of official positions is blatant, and the annual imperial examination has become a tool to make money..."
Jiang Qian became more and more angry as he spoke, and finally waved his hands and said: "In this situation, if a foreign enemy invades, Daxia will be attacked from both sides. What should we do then?"
Li Qi didn't know much about Daxia's officialdom, but now that he heard what Jiang Qian said, he also discovered some subtleties.
For example, when I give money to people I see, no one refuses, and everyone seems to be used to it.
Take Yan Yuejun as an example, Li Qi has already given away so much money in just a few dealings.
There was nothing Li Qi could do about this situation.
After all, this country is not your own, and now you are in a lot of troubles. If you can survive, it will be good, but you still have to think about rectification and reform?
Not to mention whether you have the strength or not, this path is probably extremely risky.
After complaining for a while, Jiang Qian was probably tired. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip and said: "Li Shidu, I'll have the billiard table delivered to your house in a while, and I'll also have the playing cards delivered to you."
Burnt down."
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"It's time for me to calm down and stop indulging in these games all day long." Jiang Qian said.
Li Qi heard this and said quickly: "This subordinate deserves to die."
"I don't mean to blame you, and you don't have to blame yourself. When you made these things, I was ordered to make them by you."
Jiang Qian smiled bitterly and said: "I find that although you are a good poet, you are also lacking in many things, so you should read more books and study hard when you follow me in the future."
Through this period of contact, Jiang Qian had a general understanding of Li Qi.
He understood how smart Li Qi was, and that he often looked at problems from a different perspective than ordinary people.
But he is just too impatient and likes to be opportunistic.
In Jiang Qian's mind, he felt that this person was a good person, and as long as he was polished well, he would definitely be able to accomplish something in the future.
"Everything is subject to His Highness's orders," Li Qi said.
This little kid is exactly the same as when he was in school. After watching a little chicken soup or encountering something, he starts to think about the future and must do something in his career.
Then I would study hard during those few days, but once the heat passed, I would return to my original state.
Li Qi understands this kind of thing very well.
As expected, Jiang Qian and Li Qi were exhausted within three days of trying hard.
Li Qi was okay, after all, he hadn't read many books of this era.
I have been looking for some books on geography and the like in the past few days, and I have read them with great interest.
On this day Jiang Qian put down the book in his hand, glanced at Li Qi who was standing aside and said: "Li Shidu."
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Just go out for a walk with me."
"Oh, okay, Your Highness."
After putting down the book in his hand, Li Qi followed Jiang Qian into the garden.
Seeing that he seemed a little emo, Li Qi asked: "What seems to be on your mind, Your Highness?"
"Yesterday, the Ministry of Finance told me something."
Jiang Qian said lightly.
Li Qi asked: "Oh? I wonder what the Ministry of Finance and His Highness said?"
"What else can there be? It's not just those few words about the treasury being in short supply." Jiang Qian said disapprovingly, "He thinks I don't know, he just wants me to report to my father, and then let him be honest and upright.
To make money."
At this point, Jiang Qian paused: "They all treat me like a three-year-old child, and they all treat me like a gunman..."
Having said this, Jiang Qian sighed: "I don't know when this kind of life will end."
Li Qi said: "Your Highness can just refuse them, so why bother?"
"Refuse?" Jiang Qian said with a bitter smile, "I am just a prince now. The throne has not been passed to me yet. I have offended them now. How do you think they will treat me in the future?"
Hearing this, Li Qicai felt that it seemed that this prince was not that good at being a prince.
"Did His Highness promise the Ministry of Finance yesterday, or..."
"Of course I agreed." Jiang Qian said with a wry smile, "Do I have a choice? If I don't agree to him, he will team up with others to submit the memorial."
"My subordinate has something unclear." Li Qi said.
"What's up?"
Li Qidao: "To put it bluntly, this matter is just a business. Hubu found His Highness and wanted him to join a partnership with him. However, after the matter was completed, Hubu did not give His Highness any money. This is a bit unreasonable."
"Split the money?" Jiang Qian said with a smile, "As you can imagine, I know that his household department has been embezzled, but does he dare to bring this matter to light? Does he still dare to split the money with me?"
"That's true, but Your Highness, you can be considered one of the partners, so you helped him for nothing?" Li Qi said.
"What can be done about this? If I take the initiative to ask him to share the money for this kind of thing, if something happens in the future, I will be blamed. If I don't help him, I'm afraid he won't be on my side in the future..." Jiang
Qian said helplessly.
"I do have an idea." Li Qi said.
Jiang Qian looked at him: "What are your ideas?"
"Why don't I come forward to negotiate with him on behalf of His Highness? In this case, I can share the money with him, and then I will give it to His Highness. This way, Your Highness's work will be in vain," Li Qi said.
Jiang Qian thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Your idea is okay, but I'm afraid he won't trust you..."
