"I can't escape." Zhu Yuanzhang said for no reason.

Li Qing was taken aback, could it be that his little abacus was too loud and he heard it?

But I heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue, "Actually, it's not difficult to escape, it's rare that you have to get news from the government in advance, which is not easy.

Even if you escape, there is a wanted warrant, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be arrested again, even if you will be disguised and can use this to escape wanted, but what next?

If you want to escape the pursuit of the government, you have to run farther, preferably across several provinces, otherwise it is easy to be caught, but do you have customs clearance documents?

Suppose you have, and you pass the test without a hitch, but do you know the local accent?

It is almost impossible for an outsider to integrate into the local area silently! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him faintly, "Take a step back, you are extremely smart, you learned the local dialect before you aroused suspicion, but...... It's not much better.

Because you have no household registration as soon as you run, even if you have money, you can't build a house or buy a land, let alone settle down.

Also, the homeless are not protected by the Ming Law, and the bandits also like the homeless the most, because no one cares about killing people and goods.

It is unlikely that you want to bribe the government to handle household registration, and it is not a crime for the local government to oppress the homeless, it doesn't matter if they don't do anything when they collect money......

Based on this, there are only two consequences left for escaping, one is to fall into the grass, but it is equivalent to going against the imperial court, and the second is to find a barren mountain and hide in the wilderness, never go down the mountain for the rest of your life, and become a wild man!

Even if you rob a daughter-in-law, your sons and grandsons will be the same as you, they can only be homeless and savage! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "So... Still running? ”

"Don't run away...... Ah no, the grass people never thought of running away. ”

Li Qing sneered, he finally knew that his master had all the skills, but he didn't go down the mountain easily, and he wasn't allowed to go down the mountain casually.

But even so, he was still found by the Jinyi guard, which shows that escaping is really the next strategy.

He also understood why Queen Ma instructed him to find a deep mountain and old forest to hide, and not to go out easily.

It turns out that there was no hukou in ancient times, which was even more serious than in later generations, and it was not a problem for black households to survive in later generations, but there was no hukou in this era, but there were no human rights.

Alas... It seems that my previous thinking was too simple, and I have to think about it in the long run.

Li Qing was worried, although Queen Ma's life talisman was useful, it was limited after all, although he had been living in the deep mountains and old forests before, but at least there was an unscrupulous master to talk to, if he really wanted to live alone in the mountains and forests, he would have to go crazy.

He can't cure Queen Ma's illness, even if his master comes, he can't cure it, and if he wants to live, he has to start from other places.

For example: political opinions!

He learned from Empress Ma that although Zhu Yuanzhang was brutal, he was really a good emperor, and the history books evaluated him like this, as long as he performed well enough, it should not be a problem to survive.

"What are you doing again?"

Li Qing retracted his mind and said with a dry smile: "The grass people are a little puzzled, why did the emperor promote me to be your personal guard." ”

"Because you have a clean foundation, you have nothing to do with the officials of the DPRK and China." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Is this reason enough?" ”

"Uh... Your Majesty, the grass people are also outcasts. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at the scenery outside, "It won't be in the future, and you don't have to call yourself a grass citizen and a minister!"

Also, although we killed a lot of people, we killed people who should be killed.

You don't have to be afraid, but if you're faithful, you'll be fine. ”

"Yes, grass... Obey the order. ”

Li Qing sighed secretly: This time it is even stained, and it is difficult to get out of it.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang really kept his promise this time, and took him to Beijing for a long time, during which he also bought a lot of toys for children to play with, and talked about who to give this to and who to give it to.

Li Qing didn't know who was who, but he was really surprised by the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang looked like this, and even wondered if Lao Zhu had schizophrenia.

When he returned to the palace, Zhu Biao was still in the imperial study to review the recitals, and the person was already blinded and haggard.

"Father, you've been playing here for a long time, and I'll leave the rest to you." Zhu Biao rubbed his eyebrows, "Erchen is a little tired." ”

"You are lacking, and we are lacking." Zhu Yuanzhang glared, "Take the song back and look at it slowly." ”

“…… The retainers obeyed. ”

Zhu Biao was helpless, packed the rest of the music and said goodbye and left.

Li Qing saw that the time was not early, so he said, "Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." ”

"Wait a minute, get the reward and then go."

"Yes."

Li Qing nodded, and his impression of Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart was slightly better.

Soon, Xiao Guizi came in with a tray, and it was impressive: flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife.

It turned out to be just the regular clothes of Jinyiwei, so I'm still looking forward to it...... Li Qing thanked for the grace and withdrew from the imperial study.

——————————————

In the eunuch duty room, a group of eunuchs came up and patted Li Qing on his ascension, and that flattery gave him goosebumps.

Jinyiwei is majestic, but in terms of level, he is a bodyguard at best, as for it?

A eunuch seemed to see his thoughts, and explained, "Sir, don't underestimate this flying fish suit, it's not something ordinary people can wear. ”

Li Qing said strangely, "Don't all Jinyi guards wear this?" ”

Seeing that everyone looked at him strangely, Li Qing remedied, "I also heard what people said. ”

The eunuch sneered, "There are more brocade guards, but there are very few who can wear flying fish suits, except for the brocade guards who are in charge of the emperor's honor guard, only the commanders, pacification envoys, fellow knowledge, and servants can wear them." ”

Li Qing was stunned, the Jinyi guards who arrested him before were all dressed in civilian clothes, and at that time he thought that those people were for a low profile, and the flying fish suit was not the standard configuration of the Jinyi guard!

I looked down at the flying fish suit, the fabric is exquisite, the graphics are exquisite, it is said that it is a fish but it looks like a python dragon, and this dress alone is estimated to be less than ten taels of silver.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is planning to use me...... Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since he planned to use it, he would not kill it easily.

Another layer of protection for the head!

Li Qing was in a good mood, looked at the eunuch with a flattering face, and showed a kind smile, "When I first came to the palace, I didn't know many rules in the palace, can you explain a thing or two to you?" ”

He knew that although these eunuchs were at the bottom, they knew everything in the palace very well, and they were well-informed, and they had a good relationship with them, which had many benefits, and maybe they could be of great use at critical moments.

These eunuchs were also happy to scold him, especially Li Qing, who never showed disgust or contempt from beginning to end, treating them as if they were normal people, and greatly comforting their little self-esteem.

Immediately know everything and say everything.

After a long talk, Li Qing learned about this palace, and by the way, he also had a general understanding of Jinyiwei.

The supreme commander of Jinyiwei is the commander, and there are two people under the jurisdiction of Tongzhi, the servant, and the pacification envoy, and then there are thousands of households and hundreds of households......

——

Following.

Li Qing faded away from the patched green shirt and a flying fish suit, which made his figure more slender and straight, and wearing a black hat made his face look like a crown of jade, handsome and extraordinary.

As soon as the sky was bright, Li Qing went to the Qianqing Palace.

The prince and grandson were greeting Queen Ma, and when they saw him coming, they were stunned at first, and then they were frightened when they saw the plague god.

Queen Ma felt sorry for her children and grandchildren, and waved her hand, "Let's all step back!" ”

The princes and grandsons were pardoned, bowed, and immediately left the palace.

After they left, Queen Ma asked the waiting palace maid to leave, and then moved her eyes to Li Qing.

"You're handsome."

"The mother has won the prize." Li Qing was a little embarrassed.

Queen Ma sighed softly, "If you put on this dress, it will be difficult to take it off again." ”

Li Qing was speechless, silent for a while, and said softly, "Niangniang, can the treatment begin?" ”

"Hmm... Let's go! ”

Li Qing took a deep breath and plucked the strings......

Half an hour later, after the last note was played, Li Qing got up tiredly and was about to say goodbye and leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang came.

"Weichen see the emperor."

"Well, excuse me." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly waved his hand and walked straight to the couch, "Sister, how do you feel?" ”

"Much better." Queen Ma chuckled and said, "This Li Qing's piano skills are very good. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced back at Li Qing, nodded and said, "This dress is quite suitable for you, you go back to rest for a while, and then go to the imperial study in an hour, we have something for you to do." ”

"Wechen retired."
