After lunch, the three daughters applied a little fat powder, and Li Qing was dressed as a rich old man, and hurried to Jiming Temple without hurrying.

The temple is not far away, in the prime area of Jinling City, in only two quarters of an hour, the family arrived at the temple gate.

There are many people who come to pray for incense and worship the Buddha today, and even though it is already afternoon, it is still overcrowded.

The temple is filled with the smell of incense and candles, not very good, but not pungent, the temple is still expanding, only the central area is for pilgrims to incense, worship Buddha, around, craftsmen are busy with construction.

Li Qing glanced around and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the main temple." ”

The three girls nodded, each bought three pillars of high incense, and followed Li Qing to the main temple, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they were stopped by two strong men.

"Stop."

Before Li Qing could speak, an arrogant voice came.

"Presumptuous!"

Then, Zhu Gaosui came out and grinned: "Coincidentally, it's not, sir, please come in." ”

Li Qing's head signaled, he did not reveal his identity, he was relaxed today, he didn't want to sweep away the interest of the third daughter.

As soon as I entered the temple gate, I saw the remaining Chubby and Hanhan.

The two brothers paced back and forth boredly, and when they saw him come in, Han Han wanted to come up and talk, but was stopped by Xiaopang.

The three brothers are here, which means that the fourth brother is also here, but Li Qing doesn't want to see Zhu Di.

Unexpectedly, he didn't want to see the fourth, but the fourth wanted to see him.

Sanbao came and invited him to the side hall to talk about it.

When the third girl saw Sanbao, she realized that there was a big person in the temple, and said obediently: "Sir, go get busy, let's go around." ”

Li Qing nodded helplessly, and instructed two sentences to go see Zhu Di.

……

Zhu Di and Dao Yan sat on the futon relatively well, the golden body of the Buddha statue was placed in the center of the hall, and the room exuded a faint incense and candle, quiet and peaceful.

Li Qing touched his nose and said in his heart: "The fourth child can't really believe in Buddhism?" ”

When he came to the two, he didn't salute, took the futon handed by the three treasures, and sat down with a golden sword.

It is rare for Zhu Di to pay a private visit, Li Qing is not easy to reveal his identity, so he simply doesn't call him, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said to Sanbao, "Go and blow those three rabbit cubs away, no one is allowed to enter this room." ”

The Three Jewels gave up their hands and turned to leave.

There were only three people in the room, and there was a Buddha statue that couldn't speak, so it was very quiet.

The three of them were very calm, Li Qing meditated, Dao Yan sat in meditation and chanted Buddha, and in the end, Zhu Di was just two of them, and he took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Li Qing, those three rabbit cubs are looking for you today, right?"

Li Qing nodded.

"What do you think of them?"

"A dragon among men."

"......" Zhu Di was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, "Old monk, what do you think?" ”

Dao Yan plagiarized Li Qing's idea, "The dragon among people." ”

Zhu Di said helplessly: "If you want to hear the truth, is it so difficult?" ”

"Knowing the son is more than the father." Li Qing smiled, "Didn't you count it in your heart?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Di choked and sighed: "They entered the palace last night, and this morning the courtiers began to shout for the establishment of the prince." ”

After a pause, "Who do you think is more suitable to be the crown prince?" ”

Li Qing and Dao Yan glanced at each other, both of them looked inexplicable, do you still need to think about this?

"Leaving aside the eldest son, who is more suitable?" Zhu Di added additional conditions.

The two were speechless: "Throw it away?" ”

"You're finding fault, aren't you?" Zhu Di looked unhappy, and even a little angry.

The two were helpless, Dao Yan pondered for a moment, and said: "The poor monk thinks that the second king is more suitable. ”

Zhu Di showed joy and looked at Li Qing, "What do you think?" ”

Li Qing frowned and pondered for a long time, made various assessments in his heart, compared the two brothers in an all-round way, and finally said helplessly: "The second king is more suitable." ”

The second is not as good as the boss, but there is one thing that the boss can't reach no matter what, that is, the heart of a general.

In the future, if Zhu Gaoxu ascends the throne, he can still continue the strategy of using force to control literature, and Xiaopang ...... He can't control the generals at all.

Zhu Di is only forty, and he still has a lot of time to cultivate, so he can't train Zhu Gaoxu well.

"So, you think it'......"

"Stand up!"

The two spoke in unison without thinking.

Zhu Di: "......"

sighed, and said: "Just after the early dynasty today, the third child asked me for an official position, which shows that his heart is no longer honest, which is no wonder, after all, Lao Tzu has changed from a vassal king to an emperor, and it is normal to want to play prestige;

As for the second child, he didn't want an official position, but he ...... What is on his mind, I am clear;

As for the boss... I became the emperor, but he didn't seem to be happy at all, the second and third didn't sleep last night, but he slept like a dead pig, is this reasonable? ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "I have been his father for more than 20 years, and I suddenly found that I couldn't see through him. ”

“…… Is there a possibility that he is who he is, that you are thinking too much? Li Qing asked rhetorically.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Zhu Di said categorically, "It is impossible for anyone to be indifferent to the throne. ”

Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "I can't see through him, how can I rest assured that he will be the crown prince and inherit the throne?" ”

"Then take a look at it." Dao Yan said with a smile, "There is a lot of time, and Lichu is not in a hurry at this time." ”

"I think the dick ......"

"Stand up." Both spoke at the same time.

"......" Zhu Di shook his sleeves and got up, and walked away.

Li Qing glanced at Dao Yan and asked with a smile, "Who does the master think he will appoint?" ”

"Stand up." Dao Yan smiled: "No matter how much he likes the second child, he can only be the boss." ”

After a pause, "The emperor asked me to return to the vulgar and enter the court to participate in politics, I gave myself a common name, and to introduce me, my name is Yao Guangxiao." ”

Li Qing's face was full of complexity, and he felt tired, "Why do you want to use this name?" ”

"Look now, I was the one you wanted to kill in the first place, and I also took advantage of the trend!"

"Go with the flow." Li Qing smiled bitterly, sighed, and asked, "Why was the master sure in the past, and King Yan would definitely succeed?" ”

Dao Yan was silent for a long time before he said: "I believe in him, and I believe in me even more." ”

……

When Li Qing came out, the three daughters had already finished worshiping the Buddha and left the main temple.

Driven by curiosity, he looked through the wishes they had written.

There is only one sentence: "May the rest of my husband be safe and happy." ”

Li Qing was quite touched, and felt more and more that the years were unforgiving.

Before you know it, so much time has passed, very quickly, but also very slowly.

And also... More than 600 years.

Out of the temple gate, Li Qing found the three daughters, took them to wander and shop in the shops in the capital, and strolled until the evening, and the four of them returned happily.

After resting at home for a few days, Li Qing was completely rotten, and he didn't even go to the noon court once.

Seeing that he was not working with his money, Zhu Di asked him to immediately set up a Jinyi Guard, and appointed a few backbone personnel for him to take with him.

The news of the formation of Jinyiwei quickly spread in the court, and now, the ministers couldn't sit still, especially the Wenchen, who cried one by one.

They are deeply aware of the evil of Jinyiwei, and countless old-timers have died in this institution, so they naturally oppose it.

So, they took out the ancestral system one by one and pressed Zhu Di with the throne of Taizu.

Jinyi Wei will never be set again, which is Zhu Yuanzhang's original words.

Zhu Di is also not good at punishing opposing officials, but he can be shameless, and while saying that he will think about it, he urges Li Qing to hurry up and form it.

In this way, after only half a month, Jinyiwei was established.

Although there are only more than 1,000 people, once it is established, it is too easy to develop later.

When the ministers saw this, they could only sigh and sigh.

When they meet such a shameless emperor, what can they say, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

On this day, Li Qing and Zhu Di were discussing the matter of the Weaving Bureau, and Zhu Gaosui came in with a happy face.

Dressed in a flying fish suit, it seems that he is particularly energetic, the third child is very satisfied with his appearance, and he smiled: "Father, what do you think of me?" ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "Well, yes, you have the qualifications of a prince." ”

"Huh? This ......" Zhu Gaosui looked shocked, "Father, this is not suitable, right?" ”

"It's right, it's so good." Zhu Di stepped forward with a smile.

As he spoke, a 'bang' punch suddenly rammed on the stomach of the third child, and when he bent over, he received an elbow blow, and the third child fell directly on his stomach.

Zhu Di's face was gloomy, "You are a vassal king, what are you doing in Jinyiwei?"

Do you want to kill Lao Tzu secretly, so that you can take advantage of it?

Darn......! ”

Zhu Di scolded and kicked at the same time, like beating a dog, it was completely beating to death.

"Ahh Father... No, you promised! Zhu Gaosui was overwhelmed with grief and indignation.

"Lao Tzu asked you to be the emperor, should you be?" Zhu Di increased his strength again, "You really don't know what to do!" ”

Zhu Gaosui was in pain, and begged for mercy again and again, "It's wrong, it's wrong, my son is wrong, my father spared me this time!" ”

But at this moment, a beautiful woman came in, and when she saw this situation, she was immediately annoyed: "Zhu... Your Majesty, why is this so? ”

Li Qing saw that the female tiger was coming, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's stomach is uncomfortable, so retire." ”

"Stop me." Zhu Di turned around and roared, and then said with a dry smile, "The queen is here, why don't you say it in advance?" ”

As he spoke, he glared at Sanbao viciously, Sanbao was speechless, and said in his heart: You are afraid of her, I can stop it.

Zhu Di hurriedly bent down to help his son, looked like a loving father, and said in a reading voice: "Sui'er, are you okay?" ”

"Erchen... It's okay. Zhu Gaosui said with difficulty.

"Don't blame your father, your father is also for your good." Zhu Di doted, "Jinyiwei is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, how can you go in this kind of institution that offends the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs?"

If your father is not there in the future, you will be the queen of the domain, and they will secretly poke and poke at you to wear small shoes, and your father will not close his eyes when he dies......! ”

"Yes, yes, my father said yes." Zhu Gaosui nodded hurriedly, and then, tremblingly, bowed, and fled.

After his son left, Zhu Di asked, "Queen, you came uninvited, is there something wrong?" ”

In front of Li Qing, Xu Miaoyun was not too presumptuous, and said coldly: "I didn't have to be summoned, and I came here rashly, but it was not the concubine's." ”

"I forgive you for your innocence." Zhu Di was quite generous, and laughed loudly, "I and Li Qing have state affairs to discuss, look at this ......"

"There's something wrong with the concubine." Xu Miaoyun gritted her teeth and looked at Li Qing, "Isn't Li Qing's family sick to her stomach?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Li Qing didn't want to get involved in the family affairs of the fourth child, so he immediately slipped away.

"You can't go, is it important to be a national or a personal matter?" Zhu Di grabbed Li Qing, and then smiled at his daughter-in-law, "Queen, Li Aiqing is not an outsider, you have something to say." ”

Li Qing didn't leave, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help it, and said with a sigh: "The concubine wants to ask, when will the emperor appoint the crown prince?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhu Di looked displeased, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." ”

Xu is brave and courageous, the fourth child is somewhat floating, and added: "The queen should not be pampered and arrogant!" ”

Li Qing looked at Zhu Di in amazement and said softly, "How dare you?" ”

Zhu Di also realized that it was a bit excessive, and made up for it: "I and Li Qing still have state affairs to discuss, the queen will go back first, if there is anything, I will talk about it later." ”

"Yes, the concubine obeys." Xu Miaoyun saluted, which was called a respect, "State affairs are important, and the concubines are waiting outside the door." ”

……

In the hall, the two monarchs and ministers were talking about state affairs, and there was a tiger at the door of the palace.

How can the two of them still be in the mood to talk about state affairs, Li Qing is a little big, he wants to leave, but Zhu Di will not let him live or die.

"It's fine if you don't look at her." Zhu Di muttered, adjusted his mood, and said, "Li Qing, I want to cut the domain!" ”
