Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand, "Your Highness, the grass people have their own lives, and it is purely accidental to get in touch with the prince, the grass people like the prince, but they don't want to break their own lives." ”

Zhu Di was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dao Yan.

"Your Highness, Qingshou Temple is being renovated, and there are many things that need to be handled by poor monks, so I lost my company first."

"Okay, I'll send the master."

Zhu Di didn't pay attention to Li Qing anymore, and walked out with Dao Yan.

Looking at the backs of the two, Li Qing paused in his footsteps and walked into the palace courtyard with Sanbao.

The little chubby dun is still the same little chubby dun, a little fatter, and a little taller, still so pleasing.

"You're here." Zhu Gaochi grabbed him, "I found a fun one, go quickly." ”

……

Li Qing stayed in the palace for most of the day, and it was already evening when he went out.

He did not go back to the inn, but wandered the streets until it was dark, and turned around and went to Qingshou Temple.

The workers have finished their work and gone home, and the Qingshou Temple is deserted again, only the main temple is lit by candlelight and knocking on the wooden fish.

Li Qing didn't open the window again, but swaggered in.

"You're here."

Dao Yan stopped the homework in his hand, raised his head and looked at him with a smile, "Sit." ”

Li Qing took a deep breath, sat on the futon in front of Dao Yan, and said strangely, "You know I'm coming? ”

"Hmm."

Dao Yan nodded and chuckled, "As soon as we meet today, the poor monk will definitely come to visit in the evening, even if the donor arrives." ”

"So will it count?" Li Qing smiled dumbly, "Since you are so good at calculating, then you can calculate ......"

He smiled, his eyes sparkling, "Can you see the sun tomorrow?" ”

Dao Yan smiled, as indifferent as ever, "Yes!" ”

"I'm going to kill you, not at all." Li Qing said lightly.

"The poor monk knows, but the donor has no killing intent." Dao Yan looked at him, "The last time I was in the palace, the donor was very calm, but the killing intent was pure, it should be the closest the poor monk was to death, however, the current donor, although the momentum is strong, he has no determination to kill the poor monk." ”

Li Qing's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that his bottom line was also seen through by Dao Yan.

This monk is really not simple!

"Since you already know my identity, why didn't you tell King Yan?"

Dao Yan said frankly: "The poor monk is afraid of scaring him. ”

Li Qing was silent for a while, "There are no outsiders here, let's say something open!" ”

"Okay." Dao Yan nodded and agreed, "Donor first, please." ”

"King Yan and you frequently interact, isn't it simply learning Buddhism?"

"Not bad."

Li Qing's spirits perked up, he didn't expect Dao Yan to be so honest, and immediately asked, "What is that for?" ”

"Better governance of the domain."

"The whole world is not the king's land, and governance is the emperor's business, can he be used by a vassal king?" Li Qing said lightly, "King Yan is already out of line by doing this. ”

"Definitely." Dao Yan shook his head, "The emperor divides the kings, this is the intention, the vassal king has the right to manage his own domain, if the donor doesn't believe it, he can ask the emperor when he goes back." ”

Li Qing choked for a moment, and then said, "What about other than that?" ”

"It's gone."

"I don't believe it!"

"But that's the truth." Dao Yan smiled helplessly, "The reason why the donor doesn't believe it is because he didn't hear what he wanted to hear, and people always like to trust their subconscious judgment." ”

"For example, if the poor monk said that he was discussing rebellion with King Yan, then the donor would most likely believe it!"

Li Qing looked at this kind-hearted old monk, and a sense of powerlessness that could not be used spontaneously arose.

He had to admit that his rank was indeed higher than him.

"I'm not a monk, these Buddhas are useless to me." Li Qingdao said, "I only believe in what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears. ”

Dao Yan smiled and nodded, "The donor is really a real person." ”

"......" Li Qing simply stopped pretending, "Have you persuaded King Yan to rebel?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you have it or not." Dao Yan said, "The important thing is that King Yan did not plot against him. ”

He said calmly, "King Yan is not a three-year-old child, let alone a fool, he is a normal person, and he is still a vassal king, only one level lower than the emperor."

In order to go further in order to be impossible, hitch with all?

Who would do that in a normal person? ”

Dao Yan asked, "You say, what did he do to rebel?"

Just with three guards?

This is probably the most ridiculous joke in the world! ”

He said confidently, "The donor can make a statement to the emperor, saying that King Yan is rebelling, if the emperor believes it, he doesn't need the donor to use a knife, and the poor monk will immediately commit suicide in front of the Buddha." ”

Li Qing secretly smiled bitterly, he understood that what Dao Yan said was the truth, even if he said that Zhu Di had rebelled in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, no one would believe it except for a burst of ridicule.

If he was a native of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't believe that Zhu Di would rebel in the future.

Because, the power of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty was too different from that of the vassal kings of the Han and Jin dynasties!

The odds of a successful rebellion are lower than winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.

Lao Zhu asked him to spy on the vassal king, not because he was afraid that the vassal king would rebel, but because he was afraid that they would harm the people.

If he tells Lao Zhu that the fourth child of your family will rebel in the future, Lao Zhu probably won't even believe a punctuation mark, and he will be accused of dividing the royal family.

"Whew~" Li Qing sighed and stared at Dao Yan, "You haven't answered my question yet!" ”

Dao Yan was silent for a moment and did not deny it, "Don't say that the poor monk is persuaded by one person, it is the persuasion of the entire palace, and Princess Yan blows the wind by the pillow every night, and she can't be persuaded by all means."

With the talent of the benefactor, you will not fail to understand this truth! ”

Li Qing was silent again, and in this debate match, he lost completely.

Dao Yan is telling the truth, Zhu Di is not against him, it does not depend on him as a monk at all, not even on Zhu Di himself, but on the imperial court.

Li Qing left, he didn't have any more ambiguity between Guan Yan and Zhu Di, and Zhu Di did have no intention or sign of rebellion, he even wanted to go back to Jinling.

But the work of spying on Beiyuan's intelligence was more than half underway, and it was about to come to an end, so he couldn't go away, so he had to continue his boring life.

Fishing during the day, listening to the flute at night, playing games with Zhu Chupang every three or five days, and chatting with Sanbao to relieve boredom.

The days passed quickly, and it was the height of summer in the blink of an eye.

Li Qing also went to the palace much more frequently, without him, the palace has 'air conditioning'.

There are ice cubes in the room, and ice cubes are watermelon, sour plum soup and other ice drinks, which is called a comfort.

The little chubby dun is very generous, patting his chest: eat as much as you want, drink as you like!

It has the pride of the stupid son of the landlord's family.

……

On this day, Liu Hao, the deputy Qianhu, came back from Mobei and came to see him.

"It's bitter cold outside the plug, thank you for your hard work." Li Qing poured him a cup of tea and briefly expressed a few words of condolence.

Liu Hao was quite useful, and took out the sheepskin sewn in his clothes, "My lord, fortunately, I am not dishonored, this is the map drawn by these teams." ”

Li Qing took it and looked at it carefully, mountains, rivers, and hills...... It was all available, and even he, who didn't know much about maps, had a feeling of being clear at a glance.

"Well done." Li Qing looked at a few sheepskin maps and nodded in approval, "The brothers have suffered in the past few months, and after they go back, they will be distributed in full." ”

Liu Hao's complexion darkened a few times, and he did suffer a lot, and when he heard Li Qing's words, he immediately grinned, feeling that the bitterness was not in vain.

"Have you seen Wang Qian and them?" Li Qing asked.

"Nope." Liu Hao shook his head, "We separated after entering Mobei, and we don't know Wang Qian's eastward direction, but they should be back soon." ”

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Wait a little longer, wait for them to come back." ”

"Yes."

……

Ten days later, the team of brocade guards led by Wang Qian also rushed back, and at the same time brought great news.

Found the main force of the Yuanren!

"Is the information reliable?" Li Qing was inexplicably surprised, "How many people are on the other side?" Who is leading the charge? ”

Faced with Li Qing's repeated questions, Wang Qian was a little at a loss, and said after a long time: "My lord, the news is absolutely reliable, but I don't know how many people are on the other side and who is leading the army." ”

He explained, "The lowly officials did not approach each other at all, for fear of disturbing each other. ”

"Okay." Li Qing was slightly disappointed, "How many people do you estimate?" ”

"Probably...... Judging from the tents, cattle and sheep, there are 30,000 or 50,000 people, or even more. ”

Wang Qian took out the sheepskin, "This is the topographic map drawn, and the road to the main force of the Yuan army has been marked." ”

Li Qing took it and looked at it, but the geography was a mess, and he didn't know the specific location of the main force of the Yuan people.

After pondering for a moment, he said categorically, "Inform me and return to Jinling tomorrow!" ”
