The moonlight was cold and quietly enveloped Hou Junji's mansion.

Taking a tea gently, Hou Junji listened to Helan Chu Shi's words, his face was slightly angry, but he quickly suppressed it again.

"It was only then that son-in-law who knew that Xu Qiqi was selected in the Ministry of Personnel after the imperial examination." Helan Chushi really felt that it was unfair. This matter had nothing to do with him, but Xu Qilin obviously had some doubts.

Hou Junji put down the teacup and said slowly: "A Hongwensheng, I will not use any means. Xu Qilin is suspicious, obviously he still feels that he has a rift with you. If he doesn't want to obey his orders, I will find another mission for you."

Helan Chushi had not thought about it, but he was arranged by His Royal Highness to Dayingku. No matter whether it was effective or not, without the approval of the prince, how could he decide to do it without his permission?

Hou Junji glanced at his son-in-law, and from his hesitant look, he could probably guess what happened. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you worried that the crown prince will be dissatisfied?"

Helan Chushi smiled bitterly and said, "My father-in-law is right. Although the son-in-law does not have much real power in Dayingku, some news can still be revealed. Even if he wants to leave, it is best to report it to His Highness first so that others can arrange for others to replace him."

Hou Junji sneered, his contemptuous expression did not hide it too much, and it seemed that he was not optimistic about Prince Li Chengqian. But it was not what he wanted to really offend Li Chengqian.

Helan Chushi continued, "Then Xu Qilin is really capable. His son-in-law has learned a lot in Dayingku. As long as he doesn't fight for power with him and does things with peace of mind, he will not be able to do anything to his son-in-law."

Hou Junji nodded and asked in confusion: "I heard from you before that Xu Qilin and His Highness the King of Wei have a good relationship."

Helan Chushi said: "His Highness the King of Wei treats Xu Qilin very politely and attaches great importance to it. Xu Qilin is not very obvious, and he can't find any fault in the open etiquette."

Hou Junji pondered for a moment and said, "The King of Wei is favored by all the kings, but His Highness the Crown Prince is a bit disappointing. The position of the crown prince seems to be unsure. Well, he will not offend the crown prince, but also give Xu Qilin some face. I will ask about Xu Qiqi's affairs and be appointed as an official as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Father-in-law." Helan Chushi bowed.

He also meant this. Why do you have to offend Xu Qilin if you make a simple move? Besides, Xu Qiqiu had other ways to become an official, and it was not something that the Ministry of Personnel could get stuck.

"Xu Qilin was promoted to the Great Wall County, and Daying Kukucheng was also promoted to the fifth-rank official rank." Hou Junji said slowly: "It's only a year, and the speed of promotion is extremely rare. It can be seen that Your Majesty attaches importance to and favor Xu Qilin. Judging from his age, Your Majesty has always focused on cultivating and thought it would be used by future generations."

Helan Chushi looked at his father-in-law, gently waited for his father-in-law to continue talking.

"And Xu Qilin is really good at doing this." Hou Junji pursed the corner of his lips, with a helpless meaning, "He also has a good master, Lu Yuxian is a great master. Who doesn't want to visit and get to know each other? In addition, Xu Chongrong is quite favored in the palace and loves the house and the mistress. How can Your Majesty not use it?"

Helan Chushi sighed softly and said, "Xu Qilin has made a great success, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"He is different from others, that is, those old ministers." Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty does not beat him, but he has greatly supported him. This can be seen from the speed of Dayingku's development."

Helan Chushi knew that veterans such as Li Jing and Yuchi Gong were beaten by His Majesty Li Er. Looking at His Majesty Li Er's strong investment in Da Yingku and his adoption of all the advice Xu Qilin proposed, he also understood Xu Qilin's position in His Majesty Li Er's heart.

"The conquest of Gaochang next year is basically certain." Hou Junji's eyes flashed and changed the subject, "Your Majesty once revealed to someone, as if he wanted to be the commander."

Helan Chushi's face was happy and said, "Son-in-law congratulates his father-in-law. This is a contribution to the destruction of the country. This shows that Your Majesty has a great trust in his father-in-law."

Hou Junji stroked his beard and smiled, and he felt proud, but he pretended to be reserved and said, "This matter has not been confirmed yet, so it must not be passed on."

"Son-in-law can save it." Helan Chushi hurriedly agreed and said, "No wonder His Majesty attaches so much importance to the grain transportation. This is to accumulate food and grass for the sake of an expedition!"

Hou Junji nodded and said, "When fighting thousands of miles and sending more than 100,000 troops, how can the food and supplies needed be supported by Guanzhong? Furthermore, whether to defend or withdraw the Gaochang is determined by the food and supplies."

Helan Chushi seemed to have some understanding and said, "Your Majesty wants to station troops in the Western Regions and gradually develop."

"That's right." Hou Junji said: "The success of the canal transportation reform has also blocked the mouths of the ministers. Therefore, Xu Qilin has made great contributions. As the deputy chief, you will also receive rewards."

"So that's it. After my father-in-law explained, the son-in-law completely understood." Helan Chushi suddenly understood.

"Just understand." Hou Junji smiled and said, "I can't sit in the position of Minister of Personnel for long, so I will give Xu Qiqi a convenience and make it easy for you to work in Dayingku."

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your accomplishment." Helan Chushi felt relieved and could go to Xu Qilin to have a good time.

……………………

The Imperial College has added a mathology school, and Dayingku also established a mathology school, but the levels vary greatly. In other words, the mathology school in Dayingku is self-operated and has no level to speak of.

But Xu Qilin never took the Imperial College's mathematics school in his teaching, and threatened to compete with the Imperial College's mathematics school sooner or later.

It is precisely because of this kind of education and such confidence that the students of the Dayingku Mathematics Academy have great encouragement. When they study hard, they are just waiting to hit the face of the Imperial College.

It was originally planned, but no one took care of Xu Qilin's work on his grandfather. This time he came back, so naturally he had to make it happen again.

He ran to the palace and explained many reasons to His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er finally agreed and decided to compete for the calculation of the two students in Hongwen Hall on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Obviously, the success of the canal transport reform made His Majesty Li Er very happy. Not only did Xu Qilin receive the reward, but the relevant people in Dayingku did not leave behind.

His Majesty Li Er passed all the recommended lists listed by Xu Qilin, which gave Xu Qilin enough face. Of course, this also made His Majesty Li Er know people and take responsibility.

After all, the Dayingku is different from other yamen. His Majesty Li Er can make the decision without going through the Political Affairs Hall.

Xu Qilin immediately notified the students of the Mathematics Academy. Looking at the students' joyful look, he knew that these students would definitely work harder and that this year would not be a good year.

Turning his head, Xu Qilin went to the laboratory outside the city, put on a mask, and led a group of careful and skillful slaves to obtain relevant materials, and almost all his energy was spent on the career of making mirrors.

For safety reasons, Xu Qilin installed a hand-crank exhaust fan in the laboratory to avoid gas poisoning.

After three consecutive days of preparation and collection, Xu Qilin didn't know whether the concentration of these solutions met the requirements. One could dissolve silver, and the other had a pungent ammonia odor. On the surface, the characteristics were in line with it.

He took out a piece of glass and scrubbed it very cleanly. Xu Qilin began to brush the solution on it. It was difficult to make glucose, so he took advantage of the tricks to use fructose, thinking that the effect should be the same.

It is estimated that the solution concentration is not enough. After an hour, a little silver on the glass was reduced and precipitated, but this is not enough. Xu Qilin had to continue brushing and use quantity to make up for the insufficient quality.

Seeing that the sun was approaching dusk, Xu Qilin lost his patience, so he handed over the work to others and asked her to do it once in half an hour, and a total of four times would be over.

There was no way, Changsun Chong held a banquet at the Prince Consort's Mansion tonight. If the city gate was too late, Xu Qilin could not enter. He brought the prepared gifts. With his servants, Xu Qilin rode his horse into the city and headed straight to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, the housekeeper of the Prince Consort's Mansion had been waiting. While sending someone to inform me, I was diligently accompanying me into the mansion.

Xu Qilin walked into the mansion and was puzzled. He looked around and saw no signs of other guests, and there was no lively scene.

Is it because it was a private banquet, and I was the only guest, Xu Qilin couldn't ask in detail, and followed the butler to the flower hall.

Changsun Chong had already come out and greeted him enthusiastically. But is this winter good? How can you put on a folding fan?

Xu Qilin felt sorry for her heart, but she still smiled on her face. After the ceremony, she rushed into the hall with Changsun to sit down.

"It's not time yet, why don't you see other guests?" Xu Qilin couldn't help but ask when facing Changsun Chong.

Changsun laughed at the smirk and said, "There are no ones today, I only invite Qi Lin."

Xu Qilin grinned and smiled, feeling that it seemed strange, as if he was going to make some conspiracy.

Seeing that Xu Qilin looked a little strange, Changsun Chong said, "One time, Qi Lin returned, and he prepared a little wine to welcome Qi Lin; the second is to thank Qi Lin for his kindness for giving medicine."

Xu Qilin blinked in confusion and asked, "I wonder what medicine it is? Brother Changsun can say it in detail."

Changsun Chong said: "It's been a long time since Qi Lin may have forgotten something. The medicine he mentioned is the cough and gasp."

Xu Qilin showed a sudden look and guessed: "But the princess's aura is dying again? The smoke is slightly poisonous, so it must not be used too much."

"I know, I know." Changsun nodded and said, "The temperature dropped sharply a few days ago. His princess's breathing was dying and she was in a state of panic. Thanks to this cough and gasp, it had improved a lot yesterday and was useless today."

Asthma patients are afraid of drastic changes in temperature, so there is honeysuckle in cough and asthma, which contains alkaloids, which can relieve bronchial conditions.

I heard that I didn’t take another shot today, Xu Qilin said with a slight tip of his jaw and said, “When the disease is severe and difficult, use one, and you can stop the medicine after it is relieved. The teacher repeatedly reminded him that this medicine should not be used more than one.”

Unfortunately, I didn't see the beautiful and natural princess Changle smoking with her big cigarette puff in her mouth. It must be very strange and funny. Xu Qilin couldn't help but think about it.

Changsun nodded and said yes, and asked about Xu Qilin's situation when he was doing his grandfather, and praised Xu Qilin's achievements.

"Brother Changsun praised it." Xu Qilin felt relieved, but pretended to be modest, and waved his hand and said, "It was all because of the strong support of Your Majesty, so that he could achieve some minor achievements. By the way, I heard it outside. Thanks to the persuasion of Your Highness, Your Majesty changed the feudal meaning."

The so-called feudalism is like the enfeoffment of princes in the Western Zhou Dynasty, allowing the kings and heroes to serve as chiefs in one place forever and can be heredited by descendants.

Obviously, this is a reverse of history, and I don’t know what His Majesty Li Er thought, and he repeatedly wanted to engage in feudalism.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Er, who had just inherited the throne, asked Prime Minister Xiao Yu about the long-term plan for enjoying the country.

Xiao Yu replied: "The reason why the country's destiny in the previous dynasties is not better than to enthrone the princes to make it solid. Qin combined the six kingdoms, abolished the marquis and set up guards, and the second generation died. The Han Dynasty had a world, and the counties and states participated in the construction, and the remaining 400 years were obtained. Wei and Jin abolished it, and it could not be permanent. The feudal law can be followed."

To put it bluntly, Xiao Yu agreed to the retro Western Zhou Dynasty and implemented the feudal system. Unexpectedly, "Taizong reiterated that he began to discuss feudalism."

In fact, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, also enfeoffed various sons, which led to the subsequent "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion". Past history has proved that the feudal system would be unfavorable to the rule of the dynasty and might even lead to division.

Therefore, when His Majesty Li Er just proposed the proposal of enfeoffment, it was immediately opposed by some people, led by Wei Zheng and Li Baiyao, His Majesty Li Er had to suspend the enfeoffment operation.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Tang army in the north settled the Turks, and the country harvested year by year and the situation was very good. His Majesty Li Er issued an edict to enfeoff. During this enfeoffment, in addition to the royal family, the heroes were also included in the enfeoffment.

But this franchise was still not realized, but His Majesty Li Er did not give up.

Just at the end of this year's autumn, His Majesty Li Er directly issued an edict to enfeoff heroes of the kings. The eleven princes headed by Li Yuanjing and the fourteen heroes headed by Changsun Wuji were granted the title of governor and "subsidiaries inherited from generation to generation."

For this reason, His Majesty Li Er also said in the edict: "The current governor is the ancient prince."

Unexpectedly, the heroes actually wrote letters to object! Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji and others wrote letters to express their "unwilling to enthrone the throne."

In the eyes of the heroes, putting them in other places as governors is no different from demoting officials and exiles, and "the disaster will be inflicted in future generations."

In fact, in Xu Qilin's opinion, the strong opposition of the heroes was not entirely loyal, but worried that His Majesty Li Er was testing them.

I would rather believe in what it has, than in what it has. On this issue of principle, who dares to express his opinion that he wants to split the earth and become a prince?

Regardless of whether feudalism can be implemented or not, it must be opposed and a firm position must be expressed. Otherwise, if His Majesty Li Er thinks about it in the future, wouldn’t he be suspicious?

Just like a leader who speaks in front of his subordinates, and says sincerely and earnestly that his talents are limited. He wants to abdicate and give way to the wise. Who dares to follow this? You are just a lack of talent and should have given up your position long ago.
