Chapter 13: Keep Drawing Cakes

Zhu Di looked at Li Qing, who was still in good spirits, with envy on his face, "Speaking of which, I still envy you, and you still have the mood and energy to play with women, unlike me...... I'm tired like a dog all day. ”

"Uh......" Li Qing laughed dryly, he really couldn't take it.

"By the way, how do you take care of this?"

"Go to bed early and wake up early and exercise."

"Fart." Zhu Di decisively didn't believe it, "It's like asking you to die last morning, will you get up early?" ”

Li Qing sneered, "Your Majesty, you forgot, the minister is a doctor!" ”

After a pause, he said tentatively, "If the emperor has something unspeakable, the minister will help you take a look?" ”

"Roll ——!"

“…… Okay. Li Qing turned around and left.

"Wait, come back." Zhu Di stopped him and said, "What, it's good to recuperate, I have been fighting and fighting for many years, and my body has been severely damaged." ”

Li Qing nodded, "Your Majesty, please take a seat, and let the ministers give you the number and pulse." ”

"Aang." Zhu Di sat down and raised one arm.

Li Qing put his wrist on his wrist, and his brows furrowed habitually.

"I feel that my body is okay!" The doctor frowned, no one is afraid, Rao is Zhu Di, and he is not exempt from vulgarity.

"The emperor is in good health." Li Qing smiled, "It's just that I'm older, and I'm not as energetic as when I was young, it's purely normal." ”

"And what are you frowning about?" Zhu Di said angrily, "Scared, is there a way to restore me to the young man eighteen?" ”

“…… The minister prescribes a prescription, and the emperor takes the medicine on time, which will improve significantly. Li Qingdao said, "But... The emperor still puts state affairs first, and women hurt people......"

"Teach with you?" Zhu Di said unhappily, "Hurry up and prescribe a prescription." ”

Li Qing took the pen and wrote down a recipe for consolidating the foundation of Peiyuan, and then said, "Once a day, a month is enough." ”

"Aang." Zhu Di took Danfang into his arms and asked, "Is there a way for you to make a woman's temper smaller?" ”

Li Qing understood as soon as he heard it, and shook his head funny: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you are still afraid of her...... Ahem, the queen mother is empathetic, how can she be jealous?

Your Majesty, you are too careful. ”

Poor Emperor Yongle had to eat secretly behind his daughter-in-law's back, which was really aggrieved.

Zhu Di's face was hot, and he forcibly saved his respect: "It's funny! I'm afraid of her?

Alas... I just can't bear to be sad. ”

Zhu Di sighed, "Women, when you get older, you will become inferior, I don't want to snub her, it's not that I'm afraid." ”

"It's love!" Li Qing answered, with a look of admiration, "The emperor is very affectionate, and the ministers are very admired." ”

The fourth child, like Lao Zhu, is afraid of his daughter-in-law.

The difference is that Queen Ma is gentle, virtuous, and generous; Queen Xu is gentle, virtuous, and beautiful, but she has some tsundere attributes.

But if you can't stand the fourth child, you will eat this, this kind of thing, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and he is a foreign minister who is not easy to say.

Zhu Di's heirs are not many, at least they are far worse than Lao Zhu, and more than half of them are born by Xu Miaoyun, which can be seen from this.

If you want to say that Xu Miaoyun is not jealous, Li Qing doesn't believe it.

Zhu Di's face was pale, and he made up for his daughter-in-law: "Actually, the queen is still very gentle, not what you think." ”

Li Qing nodded funny, I have to say that the fourth child really loves his daughter-in-law.

……

After chatting for a while, Zhu Di sighed: "Li Qing, I have always had a thorn in my heart, do you know? ”

"What?"

"Jianwen!" Zhu Di's eyes burned and said, "Don't pretend, I know, it's you who hid it." ”

Li Qing was speechless: "Then the emperor might as well arrest the minister and put him in Zhao Prison, and if he is willing to serve a big punishment, the minister will recruit all of them." ”

"You ......" Zhu Di's eyes were pleading, "I promise you that I will never kill him, as long as you can let us meet." ”

"I'm sorry, I really don't know." Li Qing looked calm, "Your Majesty, why do you think that the minister hid him?" ”

"Because you value love." Zhu Di snorted coldly, "I have an intuition that Jianwen's disappearance is a good thing for your mother." ”

"It's not me." Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "The emperor loves to believe it or not." ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "Okay, if I find him at that time, I will definitely break him into pieces." ”

"Your Majesty, it's good if you're happy."

"......," Zhu Dihu wondered, "It's really not you?" ”

Li Qing nodded helplessly, "The emperor is now the Son of Heaven, and the vassal kings, courtiers, and the people of the world have all recognized it, so what is there to worry about?" ”

He didn't understand: "Your Majesty, what are you afraid of?" ”

"I'm afraid." Zhu Di said bitterly: "I won't hide it from you, I dreamed that Jianwen would come to the door, and then put my family on the guillotine, and I also dreamed of Emperor Taizu......

Li Qing, do you know?

Since the day I entered the Kyoto Division, I haven't slept a single night, and I've been awakened by nightmares almost every night. ”

Zhu Di's eyebrows were filled with deep tiredness and fear, "This position is grabbed, dishonorable, I'm afraid that I will be robbed again in the future, and I'm afraid that when I go underground, my father won't recognize me and ignore me......"

"No, Emperor Taizu won't blame you." Li Qing soothed, "What Emperor Taizu values is not Jianwen, but the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Qing drew a big cake, "As long as the emperor works hard, he will be proud of you when he sees Taizu in the future." ”

"Really?"

"Really." Li Qing nodded heavily.

To be honest, looking at Zhu Di like this, he also felt a little compassion in his heart.

But he knew that once Zhu Di learned the news of Zhu Yunwen, then even if Xiao Zhu grew a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut off.

"Judging the quality of an emperor is not based on personal morality, but on merit." Li Qing continued to draw cakes, "The emperor has created a prosperous world, and after thousands of years, those emperors in the underground will have to pay three points of respect when they see you, and they have to call you brother." ”

Balabala......

The fear in Zhu Di's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by ambition, and the whole person was like a ball that had been blown up, full of energy.

He got up suddenly, his chest rose and fell violently, and his dark face became flushed: "That's right! ”

After this big cake, Zhu Di was not full and full of energy.

After a while, Zhu Di calmed down from his excitement, "You step down, I have to deal with official business." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile: "The minister retired." ”

……

Li Qing went home to enjoy Qingfu for a few days, and then went to Longjiang Shipyard.

The shipyard covers an area of nearly 1,000 acres, and the craftsmen are too many to count, but Li Qing walked around for a while, but he didn't see a single ship.

This couldn't help but surprise him, the shipyard started almost at the same time as the Weaving Bureau, and there was normal production there, but there was no progress here.

After finding Sanbao, Li Qing asked him questions.

San Bao smiled bitterly, "How can it be so easy to build a treasure ship, sir, please come with me." ”

Coming to the room of Sanbao's daily office, Sanbao took out the treasure ship drawings, "Sir, look, this is the treasure ship that our Ming Dynasty wants to build." ”

Li Qing took it and spread it out on the table, waiting to see all the structures of the treasure ship, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"I'm a mother, it's too big, isn't it?"

The ship has four floors, nine masts alone, and can hang twelve sails.

The anchor weighs nearly 5,000 catties, and the size of the treasure ship is even more amazing, 44 zhang long, 18 zhang wide, and the estimated draft is as high as two and a half zhang.

The draft alone has caught up with the two floors of the later generations, and the entire ship is almost as tall as half an aircraft carrier.

Li Qing swallowed his saliva and said, "Sanbao, can such a big ship be built?" ”

"Theoretically, it's fine." San Bao nodded, "This drawing is designed by dozens of top shipwrights, and it took three months to design, and it can definitely be built, but the cost will also be very large." ”

San Bao sighed, "The biggest problem with the treasure ship is the wood, according to those shipwrights, you have to use teak, fir wood, and other fine wood that is not easy to deform, such as teak and fir that are hundreds or even hundreds of years old;

Finding, cutting, and transporting timber alone takes a lot of money and time. ”

Li Qing asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Sanbao thought for a while, "According to the scale and quantity required by the emperor, all of them will be built, and it will be one and a half years for the fastest, and two and a half years for the slow." ”

Li Qing nodded, looked at the drawings again, and was still shocked.

It's too big!

In this era, there are no trains, transportation is a big problem, the inefficiency is outrageous, how much does it cost to get such a ship down?

"Sanbao, have you calculated the specific cost?"

"I really haven't counted this, and I can't calculate it, I won't know until it's built." San Bao scratched his head, "But the emperor said, if you don't have money, ask him for it, money is not a problem, just do a good job." ”

"By the way, sir, how is your weaving bureau over there?"

"It's already on track and it's starting to produce on a large scale." Li Qing smiled, "However, it's mainly up to you." ”

Sanbao smiled bitterly: "I also want to hurry, but the problem is that I can't get up quickly, if I delay the quality in order to catch up with the construction period, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"That's right." Li Qing nodded, "Let's go, take me to visit this Longjiang shipyard." ”
