The scene of the Li family's recruitment was extremely exaggerated and even caused a sensation in the capital.

But that's all. Li Kui even caused quite a lot of trouble for the issue of betrothal gifts.

In fact, it was not a problem for him, but he suddenly realized that he seemed to be becoming less and less popular among the middle and low-level bureaucrats in the imperial city.

"Brother Wu Yue."

The person who was called to be kept was wearing green robes, from the seventh-rank Fu Baolang, the civil servant who guarded the jade seal in the Dushitang. He repeatedly refused Li Kui's request to see the jade seal, but his relationship was still successful. He often came to Li Kui for free to eat and drink. When he passed by and saw Li Kui, he obviously accelerated his pace, as if he was trying to avoid Li Kui as if he was seeing a plague god.

What makes people helpless is that Li Kui, who is too idle, is called to death.

After shouting, the other party turned around stiffly, showed a smile that was even worse than crying, and bowed to Li Kui, "Minister Li Zhi. I have something to do, Shangguan is waiting?"

Li Kui looked at the other party's back as he left, and thought to himself: "It's not right, it's not right."

In fact, it is not just the middle and low-level bureaucrats.

The bureaucrats who are higher than Li Kui also have an inexplicable disgust towards Li Kui. It seems that Li Kui did something that is inconsistent, which made them collectively disgusted. But Li Kui himself called for his injustice, what did he do?

Could he have done nothing well?

If he really does something that is inconsistent with nature, Li Kui doesn't need to be disliked by others, and he will exil himself.

This made him very depressed.

As the afternoon approached, the meal delivery guy was very enthusiastic. He bowed and bowed to Li Kui again and began to introduce the recipe to Li Kui, but what surprised him was that this guy was originally a serious guy, but suddenly he became unreasonable. He kept silent and agreed with his identity. He must be despised. The name on the recipe also had prefixes such as gold and white jade.

Li Kui was so frustrated that he was driven to be a sucker and pointed at his friend and scolded: "What is the difference between this golden roasted lamb and ordinary roasted lamb? Are you treating your man as a kid?"

The guy shouted injustice: "Mr. Li, you have wronged the little one. The little one just heard that Li Zhimi is rich and arrogant, and is afraid that he will not look down on the small dishes, so he added some words that listen to the momentum. The prices are the same, you misunderstood."

"I don't know if you dare."

Li Kui was suddenly shocked, as if his colleagues around him were also very rich because Li Kui suddenly became rich and showed a close attitude towards Li Kui. The real reason is probably because Li Kui showed extraordinary financial resources, so he later let these officials who were both scholars but were in a low position and had a difficult life. Why don’t you go to heaven if you don’t go to heaven?

Not only that, Li Kui is going to marry the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor of the dynasty. He is even more unbearable to see that he has become a relative with the emperor.

If he really didn't have a strong heart, he really didn't have the confidence to interact with Li Kui on an equal footing. However, whether it was financial resources, official fortune, or even relationships, Li Kui crushed his colleagues a lot. Although he was not very strong, he had already labeled a big dog, and the official hat on his head had three big characters - relationship households.

Such Li Kui will never be accepted by his colleagues if he says anything.

What's more, Li Kui was not old. Among the officials in the imperial city, except for the hereditary military honors and powerful people, there was basically no civil servant who was not as big as him.

This caused even more discomfort among colleagues.

After understanding these reasons, Li Kui simply stayed in the Taishi Bureau and never went anywhere.

But he was also frustrated when staying in the Taishi Bureau. Of course, Han Gonglian and others couldn't stand it here, but the craftsmen made him feel uncomfortable. Whether it was a self-ringing bell or a ground-based bell that Li Kui originally envisioned, although it could not be a shoddy thing, he really didn't want to strive for excellence and achieve the ultimate in craftsmanship. He turned an ordinary industrial product into a unique wonder in the world.

But whether it is the Taishi Bureau or the Craftsman, they all regard the ringing bells as unique machinery in the world.

This craftsman spirit leaves Li Kui with nothing to say, but the problem is the cost?

Li Kui wanted to promote the landing clock to thousands of households, but he really didn't expect to put one or two pieces in the palace to become the exclusive royal family. Especially he was a anxious temper, and the craftsmen of this era, especially the royal craftsmen, were all slow and slow, which made Li Kui's heart even more angry. In the workshop, the most common sentence he said was: "It's almost enough. Now it's a trial production, and it's not just one, so there is no need to be so meticulous."

But Han Gonglian was so distracted by a word that Li Kui had nothing to say: "How can this be done? This is a birthday gift for the empress dowager, and it must be foolproof. Even if the Taishi Bureau sells its own bell in the future, it cannot be shoddy and smashes the Taishi Bureau's signature."

What else can Li Kui say? He can only retreat.

But let him ignore it?

Seeing that the credit was about to be obtained, he was unable to bear the credit at this time.

Li Kui doesn't mind someone sharing his credit with him. After all, he can't make a landing clock alone, but the problem is that if he wants to make him noble, he is not the kind of guy who is willing to make wedding dresses for others.

He couldn't stay in the factory and was frustrated in the official house. At this moment, Li Kui occupied the territory of the gatekeeper of the Taishi Bureau. He also wondered why he would never get along with the gatekeeper in the end. But he was helpless! The craftsmen of the Taishi Bureau despised him for being an annoying person and couldn't sit still. They could only look back and forth in the gatekeeper's door opening.

Not to mention, the Taishi Bureau was at the entrance of the imperial city. After he sat like this, he observed the officials working inside and outside the imperial city.

The officials in the Pavilion were casual and wandering around were quite comfortable. But one thing was bad. The officials in the Pavilion had the lowest salary, and were filled with a large number of civil servants from Jinshi. The shabby spirit of trying to hold their identities but not being able to hold them up made Li Kui laugh. Suddenly, some officials saw Li Kui, panicked and nervous as they were spying, and were obedient and down-eyed, like a wild dog without a master on the street, guarding against people everywhere, but couldn't help but want to be close to others.

The concierge of the Taishi Bureau was really in trouble. He used to have a chair sitting, but now the top leader has occupied his seat, so how can he have his seat?

After a meal.

Li Kui was a little tired, and began to doze with his eyes squinted. In a daze, he heard someone calling him. Li Kui opened his eyes and found that it was a little dark. He yelled and said, "Let's go to the yamen, okay, see you tomorrow."

Li Kui has no airs, and the same is true for the concierge.

But it seemed that this point was not for yamen, but someone came. Li Yun brought Gao Qiu, who was wearing tiger-bearing fish-scale armor, goose helmet, and a hundred-secret battle skirt. Li Kui saw Gao Qiu in a blink of an eye and dressed the same as Li Yun. Seeing this look, Li Kui gloated and said, "Is it hot? On this hot day, wouldn't you be stupid when you dress like this?"

"Second brother, Gao Qiu was bullied."

Li Yun rushed to Li Kui in anger, and pulled Gao Qiu's sleeve. Looking at Gao Qiu again, he was hot and tired, and he was almost exhausted, his face was pale and he was shaking.

Li Kui poured Gao Qiu a cup of herbal tea. Gao Qiu poured it in one breath. He was not satisfied. He grabbed the teapot and filled it with water in one breath, leaned against the wall, murmured: "It's considered to be coming alive."

"Li Yun said you were framed, what's going on?" Li Kui asked.

Gao Qiu sighed and said helplessly, "Who else can it be? Hao Sui, this bastard, was sent to the northwest by His Majesty, and secretly recommended the emperor to let me go with him. Isn't this a disaster?"

Li Kui was puzzled. Gao Qiu had been very concerned about his reputation and kept talking about his achievements, but suddenly he was going to the northwest, but he was so virtuous? You just said that?

This is a foregone conclusion, and it is impossible to change. Anyway, no one knows the emperor's thoughts, but Gao Qiu and Li Kui should know that their Majesty has a very stubborn personality and will not change easily. Besides, as long as Gao Qiu shows a slight displeasure, he will lose favor from the emperor. Zhao Xu is so heartless and has no way to do it.

If you are willing to contribute to the country, you are worthy of you, and you still want to go?

But Gao Qiu also felt wronged! He murmured: "Renjie, I didn't know before. I even had difficulty carrying my armor. Take a look. This fish scale armor is at least forty or fifty kilograms. Wearing such armor, my brother was panting hard in the aisle, let alone fighting with the thief in Xixia. My brother is powerless!"

Gao Qiu looked lonely, with the kind of despair that he was determined to kill a thief but was unable to turn the world around.

Gao Qiu really didn't want to go. He originally wanted to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country because there was no way out. In addition, young people were all people who wanted face or were from military families. If they didn't even dare to go to the battlefield, what kind of face would they look up in front of neighbors?

But now, he can get his official salary by playing football with the emperor, and there is also a not bad house in the capital. Many civil servants of fourth and fifth ranks do not live as well as their houses, and they are rented houses. His house is his own, and the freedom to do whatever he wants can only be felt in his own house.

At this time, Gao Qiu was foolish when he thought about going to the battlefield to make achievements.

Li Yun had no choice. If he didn't make achievements and became a high-ranking official, his grandfather would be angry with his third uncle every day and would have to find him to vent his anger.

But no one at Gao Qiu's family cares about him, wouldn't it be better to get happiness?

Besides, after enjoying the prosperity of the capital, Gao Qiu was naturally unwilling to let him go to the northwest to eat loess. Even if he was promoted to his official position by one level, he was still a deputy, just think that he really didn't want it?

Although Gao Qiu was also a native of the capital, he didn't have much money in his pocket at that time, and he didn't even have enough restaurants. What does the prosperity of this capital have to do with him?

But now it’s different. He also has a wealthy man with official positions, salary, and industry. Isn’t the prosperity of the capital just for the rich man?

In fact, the prosperity of the world, looking at the brilliant lights, how many people can enjoy such prosperity and life?

Most people are in a hurry and are busy for three meals.

But Li Kui knew that whether it was Gao Qiu or Li Yun, they were not people who came to complain. Gao Qiu was unwilling to go there, that was certain. He did not have the honor of his family to protect him, and he was still a dumbfounded guy. This guy really had a strong ambition and would not sell himself to Su Shi back then, but went to join the army.

He is a child of the Imperial Army. Even if he can't enter the Imperial Army, it is not difficult to enter the Imperial Army. But if he really catches up, he will not be a retreating person besides calling for fatigue and hardship. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stay in the streets of the capital back then.

Li Kui pointed to Li Yun and Gao Qiu and said, "Tell me, what do you like about your second brother? I don't believe that Gao Qiu doesn't understand and can't escape it. I won't let me plead with Your Majesty, right?"

"Renjie, brother, I beg you, give me Li Quan?"

Gao Qiu's love for Li Quan was no other reason, but two words - safety. As long as Li Quan was by his side, let alone going to the northwest border army, even if he was asked to lead his troops to fight against the Liao army, he would not be afraid at all.

But Li Quanzhen couldn't give it to him.

Li Kui is not qualified to make this decision for Li Quan. After all, Li Quan has a family and a job in the capital, and his wife has just given birth to a son for him. The key is that Li Quan is the child in the Li family, and his third uncle is particularly fond of besides Li Kui. If he goes to the northwest and takes Li Quan with him, it would be reasonable, but if he is asked to send him to the outsider, Li Kui will not open his mouth.

Li Kui curled his lips and stood up. He was much taller than Gao Qiu, and he was also taller and blocked Gao Qiu's face as gloomy as a wall.

Gao Qiu swallowed with difficulty, and he knew that it was impossible to have Li Quan.

Li Quan's strength is much stronger than most coaches in the Imperial Boxing Gym. The one who can fight against Li Quan is the one who can't decide the winner. But anyone with discerning eyes knows that Li Quan is giving in to Teacher Wang. After all, Li Quan's stick tricks come from Professor Wang. When he really wants to compete, he will not give in. Li Quan just doesn't know how to be a human being.

The one who can suppress Li Quan is the director Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong didn't take action easily, and Li Quan didn't have the chance to beat Zhou Tong. This is an obvious truth.

"Have you asked when you go to the Imperial Boxing Gym?"

Li Kui did not dare to agree, so he could only change the subject.

Gao Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "I can only lead one thousand soldiers, two commanding troops. The command is sent by the front office of the Palace. The people in the Imperial Boxing Gym look down on the small officials who can only bring one capital."

Then, Gao Qiu explained: "Renjie, it's not that my brother is trying to cheat you. Li Quan is good at martial arts, and my brother knows that taking him with him is delaying him. His kung fu can be anywhere in the world, but my brother now lacks a trustworthy confidant. If the clan members of your fifth uncle are interested in joining the army, tell your brother that if you can't give him the command, I can still get it."

"Why didn't you tell my third uncle directly?"

Li Kui felt that Gao Qiu's move was a bit over the bottom line. Li Kui was solemnly among the Li clan members, but he was not the leader of the clan and could not act recklessly. But as long as Li Yun took Li Kui, some of the clan members might want to join the army, and as long as the third uncle nodded, it would not be a problem.

Gao Qiu glanced at Li Yun, and everything was indifferent.

Li Kui cursed in his heart: "Courage guy!"

Well, as far as Li Yun’s status in front of his third uncle, this guy didn’t dare to lean in with the old man at all. Besides, the third uncle didn’t regard Li Yun as a grandson. Originally, the old man Li Lide had not been in harmony with him for most of his life. Why did Li Guangli let him protect his grandson?

Gao Qiu and Li Yun left.

Li Kui sat at the yamen gate waiting to get off work.

By chance, Li Qingchen went out of Xuande Gate to do business. When he passed by, he saw Li Kui. The prime ministers in the imperial city could not ride on bicycles and horses, let alone the Privy Councilor. Li Qingchen saw Li Kui just from his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Li Kui.

Walking in front of Li Kui, Li Kui stood up and said respectfully to Li Qingchen with a muffled voice: "Teacher."

Li Qingchen immediately wanted to turn his head and leave. The imperial examination in the first year of Shaosheng was very successful, but Tanhualang was an alien. Not long after lunch, Li Kui stayed at Baokang Gate and waited for get off work. He had some pursuit. Is it OK?

However, Li Qingchen was not here to be angry with Li Kui, and pressed his throat and said, "Li Kui, did you write the secret of that day?"
