Chapter 65: Plenty of money
The court was in a hurry, but this time Zhu Di didn't stop it, and in the end, he made up his mind to let the second child become a vassal.
The grandson is already sixteen years old, and after his training over the years, coupled with the fact that he often soaks with military generals, he already has the qualifications to be the future prince.
Zhu Di doesn't look down on his eldest son, but he especially likes his eldest grandson, which is the same as his son Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the past, Zhu Di was very resentful of his father and the emperor's next generation, but now it is his turn, but it is the same.
Finally, Zhu Di lived the way he hated the most!
After the early dynasty dispersed, Wenchen's eyes became more and more kind when he looked at Li Qing, and on the way out of the palace, officials came up from time to time to talk.
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Li Qing does not refuse to come, he can say a few words to anyone, and he looks very good at talking.
The king of Han became a vassal domain, and the civil official group was very excited, and they were happier than the New Year.
However, some people rejoice, and some people worry.
And the most worried person is the person concerned, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu.
Han Han didn't expect that he would lose, the prince was grounded, the inner lord was imprisoned, Shangshu was demoted, and the waiter was beheaded, all kinds of situations show that he is close to the position of the prince.
Even, if Li Qing hadn't intervened yesterday, he would probably be the prince by now.
He never imagined that in the past day, the situation would have taken a big turn.
Poor Hanhan, he didn't realize that he could stay in Jinling, not because he had the ability to stay, but because his father wanted him to stay.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu burst into tears, "Father, have you forgotten the promise you made at the time of the martyrdom?" ”
He's really sad and angry, isn't this playing with people?
"What did I say?" Zhu Di wondered.
"The son of the world is sick, you should encourage it!"
"......" Zhu Di's face was hot, and he denied it, "I didn't say it." ”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he was suddenly furious, "Father, how can you do this?" ”
"What's this?" Zhu Di was surprised, "Gao Xu, why do you keep talking nonsense?" ”
"I ......"
Zhu Gaoxu, a big man, was angry and cried by Zhu Di's shamelessness.
"Father, what is my sin, that you want to send me out and exile?" Zhu Gaoxu roared, "In the Battle of Jingjing, my credit is small?
What did I sacrifice my life for?
What did my father promise me, but I really don't remember it? ”
Zhu Di is weak in the end, and if he wants to put it aside, his son dares to talk to him like this, and he has already thrown his mouth up, but today he is very kind.
"Xu'er, you are really like ......"
"It's a pity I'm not the boss, am I?" Zhu Gaoxu roared.
Niu taught three times, and he would skim the rope, after eating bread for so many years, how could Zhu Gaoxu not grow?
"Let me be a vassal, it's better to kill me." Zhu Gaoxu roared angrily, "What crime have I committed, and you want to treat me like this?" ”
Zhu Di had a headache, looking at his son's aggrieved face and tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Since ancient times, you have ...... Gaoxu"
"I don't want the crown prince." Zhu Gaoxu seized the vitality in his words and hurriedly said, "I just want to be by my father's side, the queen mother's health is not good, and the son wants to do his filial piety." ”
In order to show his sincerity, he said: "The two guards that my father gave to my sons, and my sons don't want them, isn't this okay?" ”
When it came to this point, Zhu Di didn't want to persecute too much, so he said, "If you want to stay for a while, it's not impossible, but sooner or later you will have to be a vassal;
In this way, except for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can choose anywhere in the world, and I will not allow it! ”
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to choose, once he was chosen, it meant that he agreed to be a vassal domain, but it was difficult to say it clearly, so he had to say: "The sons and ministers are all up to their father." ”
"Then I'll choose one for you." Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Le'an Prefecture!" ”
Zhu Di's choice of Le'an Prefecture is considered, first of all, Le'an Prefecture is not far from the future Kyoto Beiping, and the post station is fast and expedited for 800 miles, and it will be a day and night, and the closer it is to Kyoto, the more Zhu Gaoxu does not dare to make a big move.
Secondly, Le'an is a small place, it is not like Texas, it does not even have a city.
In the future, if Zhu Gaoxu dares to rebel, the army will approach Le'anzhou, and he will not even be able to defend the city.
What's more, Zhu Gaoxu has no guards, even if he really has that heart in the future, he doesn't have that ability.
Zhu Di usurped the throne himself, but he didn't want his children and grandchildren to play a difficult drama and kill each other.
This arrangement is also to break Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts and protect him.
Zhu Gaoxu said respectfully: "The sons and ministers all listen to their father's father. ”
What he wants now is not high, as long as he can continue to stay in Jingshi.
Seeing this, Zhu Di got up and clapped his hands, "Okay, you can go back." ”
"The retainers retired." Zhu Gaoxu gave up his hand and retired.
Out of the palace, he looked up at the sky, stunned.
In just one day, he encountered such a change, and the ups and downs of life came too quickly, which caught him off guard.
Sighing, Zhu Gaoxu was ready to go back and plan carefully, after all, there was not much time left for him, and he might be forced to surrender at any time.

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.
After lunch, Li Qing rested on the recliner as usual, and soon, the maid came to report that a guest was coming.
When he came to the front yard, he saw that it was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Qing was a little surprised.
"Li Shangshu is promoted, congratulations!" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites was well-dressed and smiling.
Li Qing guessed his intentions and said with a smile, "Please inside." ”
The two came to the guest hall, sat down with the guests and hosts, and exchanged a few simple greetings, Li Qing got to the point, "The waiter is here, not just to congratulate the official, right?" ”
"Uh-he-he-he...... "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites smiled awkwardly, "The lower official does have some matters, and he wants to discuss it with the adults." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Qing was very bold, "As long as this official can help, I will never stand idly by." ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites lit up his eyes, and his spirits suddenly perked up, "Li Shangshu is so refreshing, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to hide their secrets, it is really not hidden, the lower officials are here this time to clear the land." ”
He worried, "Qingzhang Tianmu looks like a good thing on the surface, but there are hidden evils in it. ”
"Oh?" Li Qing was interested, "What trouble?" ”
"Li Shangshu has just transferred from martial arts to literature, and he is not very familiar with many things, and he doesn't know how powerful they are. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites looked worried about the country and the people, "Moreover, it will deepen the relationship between the officials and the gentry!" ”
Seeing that Li Qing listened seriously, he struck while the iron was hot, "Not only that, but there will also be officials who deliberately report the number of acres of high fields and squeeze the gentry in order to improve their political performance...... Ahem, the situation of oppressing the people ......"
Balabala......
Li Qing sneered in his heart, but his face was deeply convinced, and his expression was solemn.
"What the squire said is reasonable, the country needs to be cautious in its governance, a good national policy, if it is not implemented properly, will do bad things."
"Oh, Li Shangshu's eyes are like torches, and he can see the key at a glance, and his subordinates admire him so much." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites was overjoyed, and his tone was more affectionate.
After a while, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was as wise as a torch, and at a glance he found that the teacup he drank was blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, and he had to buy it.
Li Qing said with a smile, "This is from the bazaar, not the blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"That's because the seller doesn't understand." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said seriously, "Xia Guan has a lot of research on antiques, and this is absolutely not wrong." ”
He played with the teacup, couldn't put it down, and hoped: "Li Shangshu is willing to cut his love, and the lower officials are willing to pay 100 gold to buy it." ”
After a pause, he explained, "Xiaguan's family has a small business, and it is quite prosperous. ”
Li Qingxin said: You have to be a scholar, and you are so particular about gifts.
Strictly speaking, this is not called bribery, this is business.
As for whether it is genuine or not, no one cares, the buyer and seller are willing, and the law does not stipulate that a cup cannot be sold for a hundred taels of gold.
Moreover, there is no need to be afraid of turning over old accounts for bribery in this way.
Buy and leave, even if you regret it, the seller can not admit it, and insist that what is sold is genuine, which can be said to be a sufficient way out.
Li Qing said with a smile: "The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, since the waiter likes it, take it." ”
"Huh? Such a precious thing, how can the lower officials take it for nothing? "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites took out the money bag that had been prepared," Li Shangshu nodded. ”
Li Qing opened it and took a look, the golden cancan was very dazzling, and immediately said, "The squire is a person, and the official can be trusted." ”
"Ahaha......" When the waiter of the Ministry of Rites saw that Li Qing had accepted the gift, his heart suddenly burst into joy, but he said, "Xie Li Shangshu endures the pain of love." ”
After chatting for a while, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites got up and said goodbye.
Li Qing stretched his waist and carried a small bag of gold back to the backyard, just sat back on the recliner, his buttocks were not warm, and another guest came to the door.
This time it was the waiter of the Criminal Department who came, the same words, the same formula, and Li Qing sold another teacup.
Before he could go back to the backyard, the waiter of the Ministry of Works came again.
Two quarters of an hour later, he left with his teacup in his hand.
Then, the household servant and the official servant came one after another, but they were not to clear the fields, but to catch Huang Huai, Jin Youzi and other cabinet ministers who were in prison.
The cabinet is lowly, but weighty!
At the same time, the cabinet secretary is closest to the emperor and the crown prince, so he is naturally the target of Wenchen's courtship.
Wenchen is light, but under the high pressure of military generals and emperors, the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty is generally very united.
Moreover, no matter whether it is a good official or a bad official, they all look down on military generals.
Of course, the military generals also look down on the ministers.
The relationship between the two parties is like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, for now, the military general is the mother-in-law, and the Wenchen is the daughter-in-law.
Since the Hongwu Dynasty, Wenchen has played the role of a daughter-in-law, and he has been angry with the military generals and mothers-in-law, and he has been in the Jianwen Dynasty for a while, but he soon encountered the old four Jing.
Honestly, they're hard, too.
There was only one squire in each department, but it represented the entire department, what Li Qing didn't know was that these gold and silver were all made up little by little, and he really made a lot of money.
It's a pity that they don't know Li Qing's personality.
After half a day, Li Qing made a lot of money.
……
The next day, the morning dynasty.
Zhu Di announced that he would cut off the guards of the Han King and change the domain to Le'anzhou, and at the same time, released Jin Youzi, Yang Shiqi and others in prison.
Wenchen was in high spirits and shouted that the money was not spent in vain, but what they didn't know was that Li Qing didn't mention it at all, it was Zhu Di who wanted to release him.
After all, it is not good to let the prince assist the country, and it is not good to use it for others.
After the early dynasty, Li Qing went to the Qianqing Palace with Zhu Di to treat Xu Miaoyun.
After the acupuncture, Xu Miaoyun's complexion improved a lot, and she said softly, "The emperor should not miss state affairs for the sake of his concubines." ”
"It's okay, it's supported by Gao Chi." Zhu Di said with a smile, "Miaoyun, you take care of your illness, and after a while, I will take you back to Beiping to have a look, and after a few years the new capital is built, we will move over." ”
Li Qing saw that the two of them were nong, and got up to say goodbye.
Zhu Di said, "You go to the nave first, and I have something to tell you later." ”
"yes, okay." Li Qing arched his hand and turned around and went to the nave.
……
Li Qing waited in the middle hall for two quarters of an hour, and Zhu Di was late.
"Alright, no need to salute." Zhu Di interrupted Li Qing's coquettish posture, "What advice do you have about Qingzhang land?" ”
said, took out a note, "This is the note of the imperial historian, which expounds the disadvantages of Qingzhang Tianmu, although the alarmist component is very large, but there is also some truth;
This national policy was proposed by you, what can you do to prevent the adverse effects? ”
Li Qing unfolded the recital, and found that the content was almost the same as what the waiter of the Ministry of Rites said yesterday, smiled, and said:
"One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat!"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly, "What I said is that the household department, the imperial history, the Jinyi guard, the honor, and the eunuch; These are all five monks! ”
"No, that's not enough."
"Oh? You...... Another plan? ”
