Hearing this, Wei Zheng shook his head and said seriously, "Your Highness, now that you know the reason for His Majesty's reprimand. Then you should understand His Majesty's intention. "
"His Majesty asked you to do things in an upright manner. In fact, His Majesty wants you to put less effort into Du Qi, so that you can be more open-minded and not make things difficult for Du Qi."
"If we make things difficult for Du Qi in this situation, His Majesty will be furious. We have missed the best opportunity to kill Du Qi, so we can only let Du Qi go. "
Wei Zheng reminded him, "Your Highness, for now, we can't do anything to Du Qi."
"Bastard!"
When Li Jiancheng heard this, he slammed his palm on the table again.
He was furious.
He was even more unwilling to accept this.
He was unwilling to let Du Qi go so easily. Li Jiancheng's eyes were gloomy. He leaned forward and stared at Wei Zheng with burning eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Xuancheng, is there really no other way?"
"No!"
Wei Zheng shook his head and said firmly, "Since His Majesty sent Xiao Li to deliver the edict, it shows that His Majesty values him. At this time, if we deal with Du Qi, His Majesty will be furious. "
Li Jiancheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "But what if we don't show up?"
Wei Zheng said, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Li Jiancheng said in a deep voice, "Arrange for assassins to kill Du Qi. A little boy dares to humiliate me like this. How can we let such a person live? So Du Qi can't stay. "
Wei Zheng frowned.
He had never been a merciful person. On the contrary, he was decisive in doing things. It was because of this that Wei Zheng ordered Du Qi to be killed when Li Jiancheng summoned Du Qi. At that time, Wei Zheng was determined to kill Du Qi. Unfortunately, Li Jiancheng chickened out, so Du Qi escaped.
Now, the situation was different.
Wei Zheng thought that they were not in a position to make a move. Once they made a move, they would be implicated and the Emperor would be furious. It was not worth it.
Wei Zheng said, "Your Highness, if we make a move now …"
Before he could finish his words, Li Jiancheng interrupted him and said, "Xuancheng, I don't want to hear you say anything else. This Crown Prince only has one question. If you want to kill Du Qi, can you do it? "
"Yes!"
Wei Zheng sighed and answered.
He had no other choice.
Since Li Jiancheng's insistence, Wei Zheng. Of course, in Wei Zheng's heart, although he didn't approve of Du Qi's actions, he also had other considerations, and that was that Du Qi's troubles were getting worse by the day.
If he didn't get rid of Du Qi now, there would be endless trouble in the future. Therefore, taking the risk to get rid of Du Qi was not a bad idea. Even though he would be reprimanded after killing Du Qi, and even incurred the suspicion of the emperor, it was still worth it.
"His! Ta! "
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard.
Li Jiancheng's attendant, Chen Dapeng, entered. Chen Dapeng looked serious. He bowed respectfully to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, there is news about Du Qi."
Li Jiancheng said, "What is it?"
Chen Dapeng replied, "Your Highness, Du Qi is no longer a White Coat. He is His Majesty's Majesty's Majesty. His Majesty is a Lower Rank Seven Official. He is not in vain. "
Li Jiancheng's face twitched.
Du Qi rejected him.
Then, he went to see Li Yuan and reported him to Li Yuan. Now, Du Qi received Li Yuan's reward.
Li Jiancheng hated Du Qi even more now. He wanted to kill Du Qi even more. His expression was serious. He waved his hand to dismiss Chen Dapeng and looked at Wei Zheng. "Xuancheng, do you see? This is Du Qi's threat. "
"He is just a kid, only twelve or thirteen years old. Now, he has become a Lower Rank Seven Official. You must know that many people can't become a Lower Rank Seven Official even after working their whole lives. "
"But Du Qi, Du Qi did it in a short time. It is shocking."
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi was once hated by Father."
Wei Zheng said, "Your Highness is wise!"
Wei Zheng agreed with Li Jiancheng's words. Now, Du Qi could no longer be underestimated. A white-robed man had actually leaped to become a lower seventh-rank civil official, Xuan Yilang. Ordinary people would not be able to do so.
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and ordered, "Xuancheng, arrange the assassination of Du Qi as soon as possible. Do not delay."
"Yes!"
Wei Zheng immediately agreed.
… …
In the Du Family, the news of Du Qi becoming a Lower Rank Seven Official had already spread. After all, Du Qi had just returned to the Du Family when a eunuch came to deliver the imperial seal of a Lower Rank Seven Official, as well as the corresponding official robes.
The happiest of all was the Jeong Clan when Du Qi became a Lower Rank Seven Official. She dressed neatly and went directly to the ancestral hall. She wanted to personally pay respects to the ancestors and thank them for their blessings that allowed Du Qi to become such a talent.
Du Qi arranged for people to spread the news.
This was done on purpose.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Dapeng received the news and then reported the news of Du Qi becoming an official to Li Jiancheng. After Du Qi became a Lower Rank Seven Official, he did not show off anything. Instead, he went to the restaurant.
Recently, he had been busy with the bookstore and neglected the restaurant. When Du Qi arrived, it was already past noon. It was long past lunch time, but the restaurant was still full of people.
The people at the tables were all seated together.
Du Qi took a look but did not go to investigate. Instead, he followed Jin Wuque to the backyard. As Du Qi walked, he asked about the situation. "Old Jin, what's going on with the restaurant?"
Jin Wuque replied, "Reporting to Young Master, this is what happened after you invented the ice block. After you invented ice, I followed the method to make ice and then added it into fruit juice or wine. "
"In this way, in this hot weather, drinking a mouthful of wine will cool the heart and bring endless comfort."
"Therefore, other than noon, in the afternoon, I will open cold drinks. That is, according to Young Master's instructions, the diners can add ice to their wine and fruit juice."
"Although this matter is a little complicated, the income is relatively low. After all, there are many people."
Jin Wuque spoke.
He was the manager of the restaurant and naturally had the authority to make all the arrangements.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Du Qi's face was filled with praise.
This was an excellent arrangement.
The two of them entered the backyard. After the host and the guest were seated, Jin Wuque sat at the side and started to report the recent situation of the restaurant. The business of the restaurant was now on the right track. The daily flow of customers was huge.
Regardless of whether it was the main hall or the elegant rooms, the customers could fill them up every day.
The business was excellent.
After Jin Wuque reported everything, he said, "Young Master, now that our restaurant has matured, we only need to manage it on a daily basis."
"I think that we can't always stay in Chang 'an. We can't be complacent. We have to be proactive and improve. Therefore, I think that having our restaurant in Chang 'an is enough. "
"However, we can also open restaurants in the other counties in Guanzhong. Start from the vicinity of Chang 'an and expand continuously. With such a steady expansion, I think that the restaurant will become more and more popular. "
Jin Wuque said seriously, "Therefore, I think that with such an arrangement, the income of the restaurant will increase."
Du Qi's eyes lit up.
Even if Jin Wuque didn't mention it, he would have mentioned it. Now that the restaurant had reached this stage, it couldn't stay where it was. It had to expand. This was an iron rule.
Du Qi said seriously, "About the expansion of the restaurant and opening of branches, come up with a plan. We will discuss it. If there are no problems, quickly execute it. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque immediately agreed.
"Ta! Ta! "
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded. It was Eighth Brother Zhong, who was in charge of maintaining order in the restaurant. He was the person in charge of the retired soldiers and was in charge of ensuring the safety of the restaurant.
When Eighth Brother Zhong entered, he first bowed to Du Qi. Then, he looked at Jin Wuque and reported, "Shopkeeper Jin, there is another group of child beggars outside the restaurant. They are here to beg for food. Apart from that, there is also a Kunlun slave among them. These people are all here to beg for food. "
After pausing for a while, Eighth Brother Zhong continued, "Looking at their attitude, it seems that if we don't give them food, they won't leave. Yesterday, we were kind enough to give them food. But now, these people want a mile after we give them an inch. "
"Let's go. Follow me to take a look."
Jin Wuque looked at Du Qi and said respectfully, "Young Master, I will be back soon. I will settle some things first. The weather is hot. You can rest in the backyard. I will be back soon. "
Du Qi shook his head and said, "Let's go and take a look."
"Yes!"
Jin Wu Que nodded and led Du Qi and Zhong Laoba out of the room.
