Chapter 61: Rat's Nest
The sound of grinding teeth was sharp, which immediately attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention, "What sound?" ”
"It's nothing, it might be a rat." Li Qing glanced at the screen, coughed lightly, and the sound of grinding teeth stopped abruptly.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much about it, and continued to bury him, "Just like his bear, he doesn't look in the mirror, how can he be a little ......?"
"Crunch ......"
The sharp grinding sound sounded again, and Zhu Gaoxu frowned and said, "Sir, your rats are too rampant, right?" ”
"Uh-huh...... It is estimated that I have been away from home for a long time, and the subordinates are relatively slack, so this is the mouse. Li Qing smiled, "Let's continue, I'll let people clean it up when we get back." ”
"These subordinates are really ......," Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "I need to train and train, and I'll send some of the subordinates in the house when I go back." ”
"Forget it, I'm not good at that." Li Qing waved his hand.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then realized, reached into his arms and took out a cloth bag, which was heavy and smashed on the table.
Judging from the sound of the golden bean crashing, it is no less than a hundred taels.
"Sir, a little meaning, not a respect."
"Ahaha...... Han Wang is polite. Li Qing accepted it with a smile, "Come, drink." ”
"Haha...... Drink. ”
Zhu Gaoxu was quite happy, and drank several glasses of wine in a row, seeing that Li Qing didn't say anything, he couldn't sit still, after all, Li Qing's temperament was ......
"What do you think of me, sir?"
"The King of Han is brave and good at fighting, and he is a hero." Li Qing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was even more happy and was about to go further, but at this moment, the eunuch's unique sharp voice sounded: "Is Yongqinghou at home?" The emperor is here. ”
"At home!" Li Qing raised his voice and shouted, and said with a smile, "King Han, wait a minute, I'll go to greet the emperor." ”
"Father is here?" Zhu Gaoxu's heart suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly grabbed Li Qing, "Sir, I haven't been here today." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly put away his wine glass and chopsticks, and ran towards the screen.
"Han Wang ......"
"Shhh~ Be quiet." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said anxiously, "Let my father know that I came to Mr., it will not be good for you or me, I will hide for a while, don't show me your stuffing." ”
Li Qing wanted to say something more, but Zhu Gaoxu had already gone around behind the screen.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to go to greet Zhu Di first.

Zhu Gaoxu ran behind the screen as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and as soon as he stood up, he saw a big black mouse.
(?? `?? Д????)!!“ Big, big ......"
"Shhhh Zhu Zhanji covered his second uncle's mouth, and he didn't care about insulting his father, "Second uncle, you don't want to be discovered by your grandfather, right?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu didn't look over, but his voice was extremely low, "When did you kid come?" ”
"Earlier than you."
"Then ...... just now," Zhu Gaoxu said, "did you hear everything?" ”
scolded Lao Tzu in front of his son, Han Han was somewhat weak-hearted.
"I've heard it all, the second uncle is good at chewing the root of his tongue." Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly, "My father is a little fat, but ......"
"Is that a little fatter?" Zhu Gaoxu saw that his nephew was disrespectful, and immediately retorted, "Is there a fatter existence than him in the entire palace?" ”
"You ......" Zhu Zhanji forcibly saved his respect, "That's called stability, it's better than a simple man like you who only knows how to kill." ”
Zhu Gaoxu was furious: "Good boy, no matter how bad Lao Tzu is, he is your second uncle, you are presumptuous......"
"Uh-huh......"
"Shut up, you." Zhu Zhanji covered his mouth and said in his ear, "Grandpa came in, if you don't want to be discovered, you should be honest, otherwise you will finish playing together." ”
Zhu Gaoxu was choked with anger, but when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, he didn't dare to refute it loudly, so he hated to pull away the hand on his mouth and listened attentively.

"You've had a good little life." Zhu Di tasted, "It's much stronger than me." ”
Li Qing was helpless, "Your Majesty, I will go to the Printing Bureau tomorrow and increase my efforts to print the ceremony." ”
"Ang, this person can't be too idle." Zhu Di's face looked a lot better, and he came to the table and sat down, "The ceremony should be printed as soon as possible, the treasury is poor, and I don't even have the money to reward the soldiers." ”
Why don't you count the money in your heart...... Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers must work hard and strive to solve the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible." ”
Zhu Di nodded, he didn't have the heart to digest the pie now, and sighed lightly: "Civil officials are getting more and more difficult to manage!" ”
"Since ancient times, the imperial power has not gone to the countryside." Li Qing's tone was helpless, "In all dynasties, there were no pure merchants, most of the businessmen were rich gentry, the local rich gentry counted up, and the ancestors had high-ranking officials, including the current Ming Dynasty;
Most of the officials are from wealthy gentry families, and they will naturally work for the benefit of their families. ”
This is an unsolvable crux, all dynasties have been co-governed with scholars, and the emperors of previous dynasties have also adhered to the strategy of eating meat by themselves and drinking soup by their courtiers, but it is different in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, in addition to wanting to quickly resume production, is to a certain extent, to weaken the financial resources of the rich gentry.
Although Lao Zhu has little knowledge, but the Song Dynasty had developed commerce and could be described as rich and flowing, these are things that everyone knows, how can he not understand the interests of business?
It's just to restrain the rich gentry!
However, although Lao Zhu killed a lot of people, the means of restricting the rich gentry were relatively mild.
And the fourth child is different, silk, tea, porcelain ...... These profiteering industries are all monopolies, and it is no wonder that the rich gentry do not resist.
"Do you have a solution?" Zhu Di asked.
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Give them a little benefit." ”
"Huh." Zhu Di sneered, "I will take a step back today, and tomorrow they still want me to take ten steps back, but it is just to drink to quench my thirst." ”
Li Qing smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, not every emperor is like you, like Taizu, if the bullet can't be suppressed at that time, there will be a concentrated explosion, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely usher in labor pains!" ”
"Looks like you don't have much to do." Zhu Di looked disappointed and snorted: "I will never back down, even if I retreat, it is also a matter for the successor, Yongle is a day, and the gentry don't want to rise." ”
Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang are both stubborn donkeys, and Li Qing knew that it would be useless to persuade more, so he didn't talk about this topic deeply.
"The emperor is here, is there something wrong?"
"Well, now the post of secretary of the military department is vacant, I don't want to choose among the ministers, you can take it!"
Li Qington felt big, "Can't you choose one of the nobles?" ”
"Less nonsense, let you do it." Zhu Di didn't have a good breath and said, "The capable Xungui is either dead, or he is too old, none of the three generations of Xungui can fight, except for you, I can't find anyone else." ”
"What does the emperor think, what about Zhang Fu?" Li Qing asked.
"He's already a prince." Zhu Di said, "The emperor and the ancestors taught that the prince of the country is not allowed to hold an official position with real power in the court to prevent one family from becoming dominant, and now Zhang Fu's influence is big enough, and I don't want to make an exception." ”
Li Qing nodded helplessly in agreement, "By the way, the emperor will ...... this time The means are a bit excessive. ”
"You mean to depose the secretary of the military department and behead the servant?"
"Hmm." Li Qing smiled bitterly, "This is not a major military delay, and it will be punished according to the crime, but it is just a punishment of some money and demotion, but the emperor directly dismissed and killed people, which is unreasonable!" ”
Zhu Di snorted coldly: "I just let them know the price of testing me." ”
"......" Li Qing shook his head, "Everyone follows the rules, they all do things in the rules, civil officials use the rules to tempt, and the emperor can also use the rules to counteract;
But the emperor has repeatedly broken the rules, and if this goes on for a long time, people are forced to be anxious, and they may not break the rules. ”
Li Qing sighed: "When everyone ignores the rules, it will be chaotic, I hope the emperor will think twice, not that he can't kill, but he can't kill so clearly and unreasonably." ”
Zhu Di was silent for a while, and nodded slightly: "What you said also makes sense, I will pay attention to this in the future." ”
Seeing that the fourth child was so persuaded, Li Qing struck while the iron was hot: "This time the princelings have suffered a serious blow, and the Han Wang Party is becoming more and more powerful, is the emperor planning to support the Han King?" ”
Behind the screen, as soon as the uncle and nephew heard this, they immediately put aside their grievances and listened with their ears pricked up.
"King Han?" Zhu Di said disdainfully, "Look at his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, how can he have a little imperial spirit?" ”
"Crunch ......"
The shrill grinding sound sounded.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and glanced at the screen.
"The minister is not at home for a long time, and he is making trouble." Li Qing hurriedly explained.
"Rat...... Zhu Di shook his head and smiled, "Get a bag of rat medicine, a pack of medicine will kill a nest." ”
Li Qing: "......"
He changed the subject: "What does the emperor mean...... Continue to support the prince? ”
"Hold him up?" Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Just like his bear, fat and cowardly......"
"Crunch ......"
Another grinding sound sounded.
Zhu Di scratched his head, "Li Qing, is your family making trouble with rats!?" ”
