Someone secretly glanced up at their master, and he knew it by looking at the master's expression, and the master listened. Needless to say, I must have been moved by Li Qing's words. Zhu Biao is a person who does not harm the people, but when it comes to love, he only loves his soldiers and is loyal to Emperor Taizu. If he loves the people, it is definitely because the Tang Dynasty is the world of Emperor Taizu. If Datang is someone else's, do you think he will still love it?

Emperor Taizu sat on the top seat and said, "In this matter, both of you master and apprentice are great merits. ”

Zhu Biao said: "Thank you, master, but I really don't know what money is."

When everyone heard Zhu Biao's words, they were all surprised, what kind of situation was this. Since Zhu Biao has never given money, this old man is coarse, the apprentice puts gold on your face, you just bear it, you expose your apprentice's shortcomings like this, this is called the crime of bullying the king, you are dying by yourself.

Li Qing explained: "At that time, I sent my grandmother back to her parents' house, and when I came back, I heard that someone was looking for me and asked me to go to the county government to pick up things. Then he turned his head to look at Wang Wensheng. Wang Wensheng immediately came out to talk about the situation at that time. Wang Wensheng roughly said everything he said at that time, and he thought that the person who came was asking Li Qing for trouble, so he made up a lie.

Li Qing asked Wang Wensheng to carry the box of things, and continued: "Later, I went to the county government with my brother-in-law Zhang Cheng, and the county magistrate gave me a box of jewelry. There were fifteen thousand taels of silver in it, and there were many jewels, which the prefectural magistrate could testify to. ”

The county magistrate hurriedly stood up and said: "This matter is true, the general kept the documents at that time, and also stamped the official silver. I'll let someone get it."

Li Qing said: "I didn't touch those jewelry and antiques, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to buy them in the future, so I only used 15,000 taels of silver." The prefectural magistrate also said at the time that it was official silver. “

Wang Wensheng led someone to carry the box of things over, opened it and asked Zhu Biao to see if he had any impressions. Li Qing took out the list in the box at that time and handed it to Kong Yu.

Kong Yu looked at the list and said, "These are what Lord Zhu prepared for General Zhu Yi back then. Basically, they are all rewarded by their masters." Li Qing was relieved to hear Kong Yu's words, and the county order of Lin'an County was also relieved.

Zhu Biao remembered the letter Zhu Yi wrote to him back then, opened the baggage and began to rummage. Because he hadn't read the letter, he hadn't thrown it away. Zhu Biao took out the letter and handed it to Emperor Taizu, who saw that the letter was sealed and asked, "You haven't read it?" ”

Zhu Biao said hesitantly: "The master doesn't know me yet, he knows me, I don't know him, and the person who delivered the letter at that time said that they were all very good, so I was reassured." Since it's very good, what kind of letter do I still read, and Zhu Yi's kid can't write anything, at most he just praises my apprentice for how good he is. My own apprentice, I don't know yet. ”

Emperor Taizu reluctantly motioned for him to sit down, and then opened the letter. In the letter, just like the people in Li Qing's realm said, Zhu Yi did not see Li Qing himself, and heard that Li Qing was not doing well, so he planned to leave some money for him to defend himself. Since he had received the decree and needed to go to work immediately, he left the whole box behind. He was worried that the Li family was greedy for ink things, so he took the seal letter and found the county order. The letter also said that Li Xiao changed his name to Li Qing, and he was afraid that Zhu Biao would find someone in the future, but he couldn't find anyone to worry about.

Emperor Taizu raised his hand and handed the letter to Kong Yu, Kong Yu looked at the helpless expression of his master, hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter, and read it. The content of the letter, he saw the twitching of the corners of his eyes, he was really speechless, this kind of oolong can only be made by Zhu Biao. After Kong Yu finished reading it, he passed it on to the next person, and when all the civil officials finished reading it, everyone sighed that Zhu Biao's life was really good, and after receiving such an apprentice, he could do this with a box of silver, and this credit would definitely not be able to run.

Emperor Taizu said: "These things were given to you by the two brothers Zhu Biao back then, and they are yours." You are indebted. Zhu Biao, you have made a great contribution to teaching such a good apprentice. When I return to Beijing, I will ask Your Majesty to reward you. Listening to your master's words, do you have anything you want? ”

Li Qing gave a salute and said solemnly: "My lord, I don't want to be a civil official and make a name for eternity, and I don't want to be a military attache to make meritorious contributions. ”

Hearing Li Qing's words, the civil official almost didn't fall off the chair. The military attache couldn't sit still, how could this kid be unambitious. Suddenly, the hall was boiling, and they were all blaming Zhu Biao for how he taught his disciples, and some people wanted to meet Li Qing's father. Emperor Taizu also wanted to ask how Zhu Biao taught his disciples, and he also wanted to know who raised such a child.

Li Qing said: "Everyone, be quiet, my master only taught me martial arts for one year and left." I was raised by my grandfather, who has been dead for five years. My grandfather passed me to the third room before he passed away, and now I am alone in the third room. My father before the third room went to join the army, and I don't know where the others are, so I guess you won't see him for a while. What else do you want to ask, you have to wait until you've eaten, right? Everyone is hungry, let's go to the dining room to eat first. ”

Everyone acquiesced to Li Qing's proposal, and they were all hungry. The civil officials didn't even eat pastries, and they were already hungry. Although the military attache ate pastries, how could those fill their stomachs. Li Qing asked people to set the meal, and then led everyone to the dining room. By the way, let Wang Wensheng take the others back, there is nothing wrong here. Those ledgers are put away first, and you can check them as much as you want.

Li Qing said: "Our peasant family is just a big table, don't you mind eating on the same table, right?" ”

Emperor Taizu said, "Let's eat together." ”

After everyone was seated, the food began to be served. Chicken, duck, fish, pork, fresh vegetables, rice, steamed buns. They hadn't eaten a meal like this since they entered Huainan Road.

Everyone looked at Emperor Taizu and waited for Emperor Taizu to move his chopsticks. After Emperor Taizu moved the chopsticks, they all began to eat. Li Qing was afraid that they would not want to eat the dishes on the same plate, so everyone had two large plates in front of them, one plate of meat and one plate of vegetables, and they could eat at will. One serving per person, steamed buns and rice are in large buckets, take whatever you want. If you still want the meat after eating, the next person will serve it again, and you can also ask for the specified meat.

Everyone began to eat a little Sven, how could Li Qing's food be worse. Within a few minutes, they were all gobbling up. Even the concubine ate a little more than usual.

Li Qing saw that everyone was sweating from eating, so he asked people to bring ice cubes in. The room was suddenly refreshed, and everyone ate more deliciously. Everyone who had eaten enough felt that this was the best meal they had in months. are very envious and jealous of Zhu Biao.

Li Qing said: "Your lords, don't you just want to know why I don't want high-ranking officials, as long as the money is. It's just that everyone outside is going to starve to death, and I can still eat this. You're all adults, and you're all high-ranking officials, but just looking at your situation, it seems that you can't eat these things on weekdays. Hey, hey, hey".

After listening to Li Qing's words, everyone was speechless. They had been eating so badly during this time that they couldn't eat at all. Not to mention everyone, even Emperor Taizu was thinking that in the hardest-hit area, Li Qing was still so comfortable. Seeing that Li Qing is so filial, Zhu Biao is really lucky, and he doesn't have to worry about pension in the future.
