I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 352

Chapter 352 Resurgence

Qin Chi first thought that someone was targeting him.

Just at this moment, Old Li Tou came in from outside and said, “Sir, someone sent you a post, saying it was from the Li Mansion.”

“Li Mansion?”

Qin Chi took the post and opened it, “Hey, Mr. Rong has returned to Beijing. He invited me to come over and have a party.”

Mr. Rong is Li Huarong, the former head of the Hanlin Academy and cabinet scholar. He angered Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty because of his forthright advice, and was dismissed from his position.

Qin Chi received advice from Li Huarong before taking the imperial examination, and after winning the first prize, he also visited Li’s house.

After that, Li Huarong went out to travel.

The two of them can be regarded as having a teacher-student relationship.

Qin Chi asked Lao Li to prepare some etiquette and immediately got into the carriage and set off.

People got off the bus in front of the gate of Li Mansion.

The concierge seemed to have known that he would come. After he signed his name, he immediately let him in. After a while, the housekeeper led him to see the master’s house.

No surprises.

In the study, Qin Chi met Li Huarong.

Li Huarong was sitting at the desk writing an inscription when he saw Qin Chi coming in and looked up.

“Students meet Mr. Rong.”

Qin Chi stepped forward politely and saluted.

Li Huarong hummed, “Find a chair to sit on.”

He kept writing in his hand.

Qin Chi sat down near the charcoal stove. There was a pot of boiling water boiling on the stove, which was steaming and could be used to make tea at any time.

Qin Chi raised his eyes and glanced at Li Huarong who was busy, reached out and picked up the tea set and tea leaves placed aside, and slowly made tea.

When Li Huarong finished writing the last word, he put down the brush in his hand and looked up to see Qin Chi sitting in front of the charcoal stove, drinking tea contentedly. He couldn’t help but smile silently, got up and walked over.

He lifted up his clothes and sat down.

Qin Chi handed him a bowl of warm tea with both hands, “Sir, please have some tea.”

“You feel at ease.”

Li Huarong picked up the tea bowl and warmed his hands first, “Your uncle and I were originally worried that you would not be able to adapt to the officialdom for the first time, but who knew that you are so good at it, you are simply born to eat this bowl of rice.”

“Sir, that’s ridiculous.” Qin Chi smiled modestly.

Li Huarong finished half a bowl of tea and sighed comfortably, “It would be nice if I could warm up another pot of wine on this cold day.”

“If you want to drink it, you can ask a servant to get it now.”

“Forget it, it’s boring if you don’t drink if I drink.”

“I’ll have a drink, no problem.”

“No, I’m afraid your uncle will find out and blame me.” Li Huarong knew that Qin Chi was not suitable for drinking.

Qin Chi chuckled, “When did you return to Beijing, sir?”

“It was the one who asked me to come back two days ago.” Li Huarong’s words meant that Emperor Ming Cheng suddenly called him back to the capital. “There is a shortage of people in the court, and I got a big advantage.”

The collapse of the Yang, Yuan, and Liu families implicated a large number of officials. Let the DPRK free up a large number of vacancies, and some of the vacancies have already been filled. With Qin Chi’s help, Lu Yanji and Lu Baizhou also found an opportunity to be transferred out of the Hanlin Academy, and their official positions were slightly promoted. However, not everyone is qualified for important positions. For example, a cabinet minister committed suicide, and the Ministry of Industry still lacked a chancellor.

Li Huarong was originally a cabinet minister.

When Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty had no one available, a servant mentioned Li Huarong’s name. When Li Huarong comes back here, he will either rejoin the cabinet and take over Mr. Yang Ge’s previous job, or he will become the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Both positions are very important.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to do both.

When talking about the situation between North Korea and China, Li Huarong mentioned the revolt. Qin Chi asked: “Where do you want to go, sir?”

Li Huarong’s previous position has already been taken over. Even if he returns to the cabinet this time, he will probably take over Yang Zhengkai’s position. “Personally, I would rather be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but it is unlikely.”

“It depends on what your Majesty wants.”

Qin Chi had the illusion that he was showing off.

There are few civil servants who don’t want to join the cabinet. This is the lifelong goal of most Hanlin Academy officials.

Qin Chi asked again: “Sir, do you know Luo Sicheng of Dali Temple? I checked him and found that he is the same generation as you.”

“Why do you suddenly ask about him? Has he offended you?” Li Huarong asked this, obviously knowing Luo Si Cheng.

Qin Chi told the rumors outside.

Li Huarong looked serious when he heard this, “I’m not sure who he is. He doesn’t have much contact with me. I just attended a poetry meeting before the imperial examination, and I saw that he praised the article “Yan Jiangnan” quite highly. , I am very respectful in my words.”

“Then he is from Jiangnan?” Qin Chi knew that this was not accurate.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Sure enough, Li Huarong shook his head and said, “There were many scholars who admired Yan Jiangnan’s talents and learning. This is not based on evidence.”

Emperor Ming Cheng’s ascension to the throne will naturally clear out the remnants of the former prince’s faction. Li Huarong didn’t say this, but Qin Chi could understand it.

Qin Chi gave Li Huarong more tea, stood up and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw Qin Ba guarding him outside. Then he closed the door again, then walked to the window and paused for a long time.

Li Huarong saw his actions and understood: “I backed away before, but now no one is approaching the study, oh, except for the people you brought.”

“Okay.”

Qin Chi indeed had no one eavesdropping.

He sat down in front of the charcoal stove again.

He spoke softly and told Li Huarong about the former prince, Yan Jiangnan and others.

Before coming to the capital last year, he went to Huangshan to meet Helian Pu.

He Lianpu told him that Li Huarong could be trusted.

Li Huarong was shocked that the first prince was still alive, “Are you sure? When the first prince died, I was also at the scene -“

The following words stopped abruptly.

Qin Chi’s eyes flashed slightly when he saw this.

There is obviously something wrong with Li Huarong’s attitude?

After a long while, Li Huarong said in disbelief: “His Majesty went to stare at the body for a long time in person, and then called three waves of people to check the body. They all unanimously said that the deceased was the former prince. He also specially called several imperial doctors to examine it. Very soon There’s definitely no trace of disguise.”

Therefore, he never doubted that the late prince was alive.

Qin Chi just wanted to say, if you can’t deceive outsiders, how can you deceive Emperor Mingcheng?

“I heard that many people keep a substitute since childhood.”

Li Huarong suddenly thought of this.

Qin Chi smiled and did not deny what he said.

However, the two of them knew that it was not easy to create a substitute, let alone a complete imagination. Many of them just had similar faces and were disguised. After careful inspection, the imperial doctor could detect them.

An uncertain mystery for the moment.

The two agreed not to delve deeper.

Before the night was about to begin, Qin Chi said goodbye.

When he first returned home, Old Man Hong handed him another post, “Post from the East Palace.”

Qin Chi was shocked when he heard it was the East Palace.

Immediately, an idea flashed in my mind, and I thought of the rumor that was spreading secretly, and suddenly I understood the malicious intention of the person behind the scenes.

Kill with a borrowed knife.
