Chapter 1360 Li Chengqian's request
And those stone sculptures and other things are helpless. The money you should spend is still spent, otherwise the old man would be angry if he didn't spend a penny.
With such thoughts in mind, Li Chengqian and the old man kept beating their eyes and tempted the old man's desire to complete a palace group.
"Well, since you are so confident, it's not impossible to leave this matter to you, but you have to remember that if there is a problem, don't come to me and cry."
The old man said that "there is something wrong" refers to being discovered by nobles and noble families that Li Chengqian misappropriated the funds for the railway construction and causing trouble for him at that time.
Li Chengqian knew very well what his father was saying, but he also had his own ideas. Let’s not talk about whether this matter would be known by those nobles. Even if he knew about it, Li Zhitong would not believe that the old man would not protect him.
This is the most direct manifestation of the so-called "You have thousands of tricks, I have certain rules."
...
After seeing off the old man, it was already noon. After lunch, Li Chengqian took his little wife Kong Wen, Yang Yuxin and others, and the newly promoted bodyguard leader Qin Qiong and Qin Erye left the East Palace and headed straight to Kong Yingda's mansion.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, Comrade Xiao Li poked his head out of the carriage from time to time and looked at Lao Qin who was following the carriage, looking at him wanting to speak but stopping.
Kong Wen was very curious and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what are you looking at?"
"Don't you think it's strange? There's a duke outside, a dignified duke from Yiguo. Do you think it's reliable to follow us as a bodyguard?" Li Chengqian looked entangled.
If his brothers and friends in later generations knew about this, how long would it be? Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, who had a horse on both sides of the Yellow River and attacked the three states and six palaces, was his follower. How awesome is this? How many people would you envy after telling it later?
But unfortunately, he couldn't go back anymore and would never go back for the rest of his life. He could only keep going in this Tang Dynasty, where even the newborn babies were his ancestors.
"It's quite unreliable. Why don't you let Duke Yi come up?" Kong Wen felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Li Chengqian say this. After all, her grandfather is also a duke. Thinking of him as a follower after him...
"Forget it, do you think I haven't said it, it's useless." Li Chengqian shook his head.
Lao Qin is a person who will always be convinced. He said that he is a guard and that he will never act in deviantly. Not to mention Li Chengqian, even if Li Er came down to persuade him, it would be useless.
"What should I do?" Kong Wen looked at Li Chengqian with big eyes flashing and asked with some concern.
"What else can I do if I have a cold meal?" Li Chengqian spread his hands and complained: "These old guys are all the same virtues, they are so stubborn that they are. The more you persuade them, the more you become more excited."
Based on his feelings, Li Chengqian believes that letting Lao Qin be a follower is a bad idea and is not very appropriate. However, he really has no errands to arrange for Lao Qin to do, so he can only make the decision like this. Although some of his talents are useless, there is no good way.
Also, Lao Qin is a follower for himself, which will make some veterans feel uncomfortable and feel sad, which is something that Li Chengqian really doesn't want to see. So although Lao Qin became his bodyguard leader, he feels awesome, but in fact, the harm outweighs the benefits.
Thinking about how to resettle Lao Qin, Li Chengqian and his party arrived at Kong Yingda's mansion half an hour later. A long distance away saw a group of people standing in front of the Kong mansion. The situation was in place. Those who didn't know thought it was going to fight.
"The son-in-law has met grandpa." When the car approached, Li Chengqian was the first to jump out of the carriage. Before Lao Kong came up to see the ceremony, the first thing was a big gift.
At this time, it is time to show etiquette in front of others. Li Chengqian doesn't want to lose his big picture because of a small matter. It would be a bit embarrassing to let Qin Qiong be a follower. If Old Kong asked him to greet him first, he would be really not a son.
"The grandson has met grandpa." After Li Chengqian gave a gift, Kong Wen also walked out of the carriage with the help of the palace maid.
"The old minister has seen His Royal Highness, and has seen him..." Old Confucius was also quite embarrassed at this time. He usually went to the palace to see his granddaughter, but he was a little casual without outsiders. Now... what's the matter with saying that he was greeting his granddaughter?
"Grandpa doesn't have to do this. Today, the son-in-law is accompanying Wenwen back home, and they are all his own family." Li Chengqian stepped forward to support Lao Kong at the right time and set the tone for this trip.
"Okay, okay, that's good." Old Man Kong nodded with satisfaction. Although he was an old scholar, everyone needed any face-saving matters, and this old man was no exception.
"Grandpa, we'll go in. It's windy outside. Be careful of the cold." Kong Wen stood beside Li Chengqian, smiled forward and supported Lao Kong. Amid the old man's smug laughter, the group entered the Kong Mansion mansion.
In the front hall of the Confucius Mansion, everyone was seated. Old Man Kong looked at Kong Wen up and down a few times, then looked at Li Chengqian sitting aside, and said with a smile: "Xiaowen, go to the back house. I will meet your grandmother and a few sisters. They miss you very much."
"Yes, grandson is here." Kong Wen nodded cleverly, bowed to old Kong and turned to the back house. She also knew that Li Chengqian must have something to do this time, and the reason why he took her was just a way, so naturally he would not stay in the front hall.
After Kong Wen left, Old Kong also put away the smile on his face and asked Li Chengqian seriously: "Your Highness is afraid there is something wrong here, right?"
"I don't want to hide it from my grandfather, there are indeed some things." Although Li Chengqian's trip had his own purpose, but because this matter was not so easy, he planned to use the relationship between relatives and talk to Lao Kong.
Old Man Kong looked at Qin Qiong who had been standing behind Li Chengqian, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please say bluntly that as long as the old minister can do it, he will definitely not shirk responsibility."
"This matter is very easy for grandpa." Li Chengqian smiled and took over the conversation: "Grandpa still remembers the 'education reform' that grandson-in-law said at the grand court meeting some time ago?"
Old Man Kong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it was really a bad guest coming to the door, but he said without stopping: "I remember it."
"Grandpa is really good at memory." Li Chengqian praised with his thumbs up, and then continued: "My son-in-law just wants to do something, can grandpa help? Write a letter to the family, and the family will first recruit a group of poor students and give a sample for other prefectures!"
"This..." Kong Yingda frowned, and he didn't know how to reply for a moment.
After all, what Li Chengqian said is not a trivial matter, and it is not the only one in Shandong. Although it is okay to give others a sample, the consequences must be taken into account.
