Chai Jing opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he burned the letter on the candlelight.
"Brother..." Chai Nian frowned slightly.
Chai Jing said: "Master Li has come back, it's time for us to do something..."
Everyone looked at each other, and Chai Nianwei couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what does Master Li want us to do?"
Chai Jing looked at his sister with a hesitant expression, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Brother, do you need me to do anything?" Chai Nianwei said, "If Master Li needs me to do anything, just say it."
Seeing his sister's serious expression, Chai Jing took a deep breath: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance..."
"Geng Rui?" Chai Nian raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Brother, let me go."
Chai Jing obviously knew that his sister would say this.
During the year they came to Kyoto, the brother and sister followed Lian Shaohua's arrangements and have been doing various intelligence gathering in Kyoto.
Naturally, they have a general understanding of many officials in Kyoto. They know officials like Geng Rui very well.
Chai Nianwei, who originally hated Daxia officials, naturally did his part.
"Nianwei, this matter is not trivial, and that guy Geng Rui's hobby..."
Before Chai Jing could finish speaking, Chai Nianwei said: "Brother, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming to Kyoto? I have been waiting for too long..."
"But……"
"Nothing but, you have to believe me." Chai Nianwei said firmly.
Seeing his sister like this, Chai Jing took a deep breath and said, "It's okay for you to go, but you have to pay attention to your own safety..."
Chai Nian nodded slightly: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of myself."
…
Li Mansion, reception room.
Lian Shaohua sat on a wooden sofa, took a sip of the juice in his hand, and sighed: "Brother Li, every time I come to your place, I don't want to go anywhere else."
Li Qi smiled and said: "If you don't want to leave, I will arrange a room for you and you can stay here."
Lian Shaohua smiled and said: "Compared with you, Brother Li, I am really ashamed. I think the title of the most talented person in Tianji Pavilion should be given to you."
"Brother Lian is so humble." Li Qi leaned on the homemade sofa and said, "By the way, how are things going?"
When Li Qi asked, Lian Shaohua said: "It has been arranged for the Chai brothers and sisters to do it..."
Having said this, he hesitated and said, "Brother Li is targeting Geng Rui this time. Is this the prince's intention?"
Although Li Qi had great trust in Lian Shaohua, he couldn't say much about Ye E.
After all, he and Ye E are grasshoppers on the same rope. Once there is a problem on Ye E's side, he himself will also be in trouble.
The identity of Tianjihui is enough to be beheaded!
"That's what the prince meant." Li Qi said, "Originally, I wanted to go back to Beijing to rest for a while, but who knew that just after I came back, the prince would..."
As he spoke, Li Qi sighed pretending to be distressed.
Lian Shaohua smiled and said: "This is also a good thing."
"Good thing?"
"Well, Brother Li, think about it, if the prince didn't trust you, how could he have asked you to deal with Geng Rui as soon as you came back... During the days when you were away, the prince didn't make any move."
Lian Shaohua paused and said, "Even many people on the prince's side think that the prince seems to be afraid of the third prince..."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Really? That prince really thinks highly of me."
"Brother Li, actually I think we can take this opportunity to grow the Crown Prince's team again," Lian Shaohua said.
"Oh? What do you think, Brother Lian?" Li Qi asked.
"If our plan this time is successful, then Geng Rui from the Punishment Department will definitely step down, and then the position of the Punishment Department will be vacant...Brother Li can take this opportunity to sit in the position of the Punishment Department." Lian Shaohua said.
Hearing this, Li Qi couldn't help but think about it.
Now that I am just a fifth-grade official, I do need some rights.
But then he thought, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and there will be more things to do.
For example, now, although my official position is relatively small, I don't have to take care of too many things, nor do I have to bear too many responsibilities.
But if you take the position of the Ministry of Justice, you will have more things to do and more responsibilities. If you don't do it well, you may become the next Geng Rui.
"What? Why does Brother Li have any hesitation?" Lian Shaohua asked.
Li Qi took a deep breath and said, "I wonder if Brother Lian has any suitable people to recommend for the position of the Criminal Department?"
Lian Shaohua was stunned for a moment. When he heard this sentence, he understood. It seemed that Li Qi didn't want to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice at all.
"This one needs to be deleted." Lian Shaohua said, "Currently, our people have just been placed in the imperial court..."
Li Qidao: "In Daxia, what are the requirements if a military attaché becomes a civilian official?"
Lian Shaohua raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Li, what's the matter with?"
"Tian Hangnan."
Li Qi told Lian Shaohua the basic situation of Tian Hangnan.
"If Brother Li wants him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, unless someone recommends him, and this person has achieved great merit..."
Li Qi nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Regarding Tian Hangnan, Li Qi knew that this man was absolutely loyal to him, which could be seen from these few incidents.
And I also promised him that I would promote him in the future.
Isn't now an opportunity?
After all, neither the third prince nor the prince knew that Tian Hangnan was theirs, so it would be a good choice to push him forward at this time.
Why do you have to be a high official?
If you replace all the six people with your own people, will you be able to avoid danger when anyone wants to take advantage of you?
Thinking of this, Li Qi suddenly had a new goal in mind.
Before, I always thought about working with a good boss, but now I think about it, it would be better to start my own business than working part-time!
Grandma, now I have money, but what I lack is people!
When the time comes, all the officials in the imperial court will be replaced by their own people. Even if the emperor wants to behead himself, he will have to think twice!
Of course, it is obviously not easy to achieve this step, but once you succeed, there will be nothing anyone can do to you!
Gotta plan it carefully...
After sending Lian Shaohua away, Li Qi told Tang Yun his plan.
After listening to this, Tang Yun pondered for a long time, looked at Li Qi seriously and asked, "Sir, do you want to rebel?"
This time, Li Qi was stopped: "Rebellion is not enough, but at least we have to gain a foothold in the court."
"If the young master wants to do this, I think you have to watch out for six doors..."
"Six doors?"
"Yes, the reason why the Emperor of Daxia established the Six Gates was to prevent collusion among various officials. Many high-ranking officials in the imperial court eventually fell into the hands of the Six Gates," Tang Yundao said.
