Zhu Di looked at Li Qing in a daze, and at this moment he had a new view of Li Qing.

As the saying goes, how bold and prolific people are.

A person's character plays a crucial role in his future achievements.

At this moment, he understood why his father loved Li Qing so much, and he was sure that Li Qing's height would not stop there.

Thinking about the few times he got along with Li Qing, that surrender was not a cost, Li Qing never pointed fingers at the military, it is true that it was because he didn't understand the military, but as a prison army, he could be so open-minded, which is enough to show that this person is broad-minded.

Talent, martial arts, and archery that are difficult to pick out are all unattainable by ordinary people.

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh secretly: Fortunately, he is not surnamed Zhu!

Immediately, I felt that I was too cautious, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Li Qin is a great talent, this king toasts you with a cup."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Li Qing was embarrassed, he was just emotional, and he borrowed words to be lyrical, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to have such a change, "Your Royal Highness." ”

The atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the meal was almost over, and the two turned to drink.

Li Qing took this opportunity to learn about the border defense of Beiping in recent years, as well as the attitude of the Yuan people, but the answer he got was not optimistic.

Zhu Di said solemnly, "If it is not this king, you can look at it, within ten years, the Yuan people will definitely come on a large scale." ”

"Oh?" Li Qing frowned and said, "Why is the prince so determined? ”

"This ...... It's a gut feeling! Zhu Di said embarrassedly, "Judging from the experience of guarding the border in the past two years, this king can feel that the many tribes of the Yuan people are gradually merging, and even developing towards unification. ”

After a pause, "Of course, this king does not have substantial evidence, how can I say it, this king has been in Beiping for so long, and he has dealt with the Yuan people too much."

You may think this is nonsense, but this king can be sure of it!

When you go back, please tell your father the truth about the king's speculation. ”

In the end, it is a descendant of the Zhu family, although Zhu Di is a little dissatisfied with his father's partiality, but in major matters, he can still carry it clearly.

Li Qing nodded, "Don't worry, the lower officials will be truthful." ”

He could see that Zhu Di was sincere, and he did not despise Zhu Di's speculation.

Intuition is a very mysterious thing, but it often has a high hit rate, Zhu Di has been guarding Beiping for so long, and he has dealt with the Yuan people too much, so he will never have this intuition for no reason.

After chatting for a long time, Li Qing got up and said goodbye.

……

Zhu Di stood in front of the window, looking at the thousands of miles of ice, looking at the Great Wall in the distance, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Your Royal Highness......" Xu Miaoyun put on a big coat for him, the two were childhood sweethearts, she followed him before she was fifteen years old, what was her husband thinking, how could she not know, and sighed lightly: "You can't ......"

"Miaoyun." Zhu Di's tone was unwilling, "If I ascend to the Great Treasure, I can't do what I said in the words, compared to me, King Qin and Han Wu are slightly inferior to literary talent; Tang Zong and Song Zu were slightly less coquettish; Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. ”

His eyes flashed with unprecedented confidence, and the whole person had an indescribable demeanor, "If I ascend to the great treasure, I will not fall behind in terms of culture and martial arts;

If I ascend to Dabao, I will definitely be able to create a prosperous and prosperous world;

If I ascend to the Great Treasure, I will definitely be able to ascend to the Hanhai Sea and seal the wolf;

If I ascend to the Great Treasure, I will be able to write a brilliant chapter;

If I ......"

"Your Highness......!" Xu Miaoyun said in a trembling voice, "Don't say it again, don't say it again." ”

"If I ......" Zhu Di's clenched fists slowly loosened, his blazing eyes gradually dimmed, and he said bitterly, "If I were the boss, how good it would be, how good it would be......!" ”

Xu Miaoyun saw her husband like this, her heart was broken, tears fell, and she cried and persuaded: "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness is unwilling, but so what, the eldest brother is highly respected, benevolent and virtuous, you can't blame your father." ”

"The eldest brother is expected to be the prince, I will not have the slightest complaint, but the father... Why, why can't it be ......" Zhu Di was even trembling in breath, "Why can't it be me?" ”

"Your Highness, don't be like this, the concubine is so panicked." Xu Miaoyun was frightened, "You must not do stupid things!" ”

Zhu Di sighed dejectedly, gently hugged her into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't do stupid things, I'm just... It's just too aggrieved. ”

"Well, the concubine understands, the concubine understands." Xu Miaoyun hugged him with her backhand, "Your Highness, we don't want to be unhappy, let's live a good life."

The children are growing up day by day, and in the future, we will have grandchildren, watching them grow up, and the children and grandchildren will be around their knees in the future, isn't it also a great blessing? ”

"yes!" Zhu Di squeezed out a smile and said apologetically: "Husband scared you just now." ”

…………

The first thing Li Qing did when he went back was to find the political envoy and discuss border defense matters with him, and make plans for the Yuan people to loot.

Although it was just Zhu Di's guess, there was not much loss in making some preparations, in case Yuanren really came, and then dealt with it in a hurry, it would inevitably be a mistake.

This kind of thing does not tolerate a trace of sloppiness and luck.

The political envoy of Beiping is very cooperative, the news of the death of the crown prince has spread all over the world, he can climb to this position, how can it be okay with the DPRK and China, although he does not have a thorough understanding of the overall situation, but he also guesses a rough idea.

There are few nerds in the officialdom, don't look at them usually one by one, but in fact, they are all human spirits.

Knowing Li Qing's status and power in the future, he will definitely go to the next level, and naturally he will not lose face.

Defending the city is not as troublesome as going on an expedition, but it only took more than ten days to get everything ready.

There are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, and Li Qing went to Yanwang's Mansion again for fear of an accident.

"Your Highness, how sure are you about the Yuan army's attack?"

"Fifty percent." Zhu Di said, "According to the judgment of this king, the Yuan people will either come on Chinese New Year's Eve or the first day of the new year, because these two days are the days when the people's families improve their lives, and at the same time, the soldiers who defend the city are the most lax. ”

Li Qing frowned slightly, now the army can't move, except for the soldiers who defend the city every day, only Zhu Di's three guards can be used.

This juncture is too presumptuous to let Zhu Di out of the house and command the three guards, but he is afraid that Yuanren is really coming.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Qing asked, "Your Highness, can you notify Sanwei first so that he can prepare for battle?" ”

"No problem." Zhu Di agreed, "This king will arrange it." ”

"Slow down." Li Qinggan said with a smile, "Xiaguan means that the Xiaguan will convey His Highness's orders. ”

"You're ......!"

Li Qing arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, it's an extraordinary time, I hope His Highness understands." ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly twice and nodded helplessly.

Seeing him so cooperative, Li Qing relaxed a little and said with admiration: "Your Highness is sensible, understands the general situation, and takes the overall situation into account......

"Okay, let's keep the nice ones and go back to the sycophants!" Zhu Di snorted: "If you pat the king's ass, the king won't reward you anything." ”

"Why, the next official is from the bottom of his heart." Li Qing knew that the fourth child was in a depressed mood, so he flattered him with a shy face.

He also somewhat understood, he was not allowed to go out, and he was grounded for half a year for no reason, and it was not easy for anyone to change his heart.

What's more, Zhu Di not only abides by the law, but also repeatedly makes military exploits, it is normal for such a vassal king to be treated like this, and he has resentment in his heart.

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Qing climbed the city wall and looked outside.

The political envoy of Beiping did not accompany his wife and children anymore, and he came tirelessly for the New Year, just to behave well in front of the royal celebrity.

Li Qing knew his intentions, but he didn't have any disdain in his heart, no matter what, this kind of behavior was worthy of recognition.

Regardless of the deed, besides, being self-motivated and wanting to climb up is not a disadvantage.

"Lord Qincha, did you say that the Yuan people would come?" The political envoy looked at the vast snow outside the pass, rubbed his hands and said, "On such a cold day, I don't know how many people will freeze to death along the way." ”

Li Qing smiled, "It's best not to come, everyone is happy." ”

After a pause, he said two heart-warming words: "During the New Year, the political envoy has worked tirelessly, and Ben Qincha admires it." ”

"Where, where." The political envoy's heart suddenly warmed, and he hurriedly said reservedly, "Eating the king's fortune is the king's worries, and letting the people have a good year is the first priority of the Ming officials." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile and continued to enjoy the snow scene outside the gate.

Until dusk, there was no sign of the arrival of the Yuan people, but Li Qing did not relax, the Yuan people liked to engage in night raids the most, and the suddenness of the night siege was the most beneficial to them.

Li Qing looked at the political envoy who was shivering from the cold, and said with a smile: "The political envoy was born as a minister, and his body is a little weaker, go back and rest." ”

"It's okay, although Xia Guan is a scholar, he can still bear this bit of cold." He said righteously, "The soldiers can bear it, and the subordinates can also bear it." ”

Seeing that he insisted on this, Li Qing didn't persuade him again, moved a chair and sat down, lying on the battlements of the city wall, bored and in a daze.

At midnight, Li Qing yawned boredly, and suddenly found that a large fire was lit up on the flat snow, which was approaching rapidly.

"Damn, it's really here!"

Li Qing was shocked, but the political envoy was even more shocked, he was born as a civilian official, where had he seen this meeting, and when he thought of the Yuan army attacking the city later, his legs and stomach trembled.

But what frightened him even more was that the guards who had been keeping their heads down next to Lord Qincha suddenly burst into a deep voice: "The Yuan army is here, everyone listens to the king's orders!" ”

Then, he quickly took off his outer clothes, revealing a python robe.

The political envoy took a closer look, and almost sat on the ground, "Yan, Yan... His Royal Highness King Yan?! ”
