"Balancing the Rules!" Xiaopang said seriously, "Let the nobles and rich gentry bleed, but they can't be forced to be anxious, they must always be kept at a certain level, so as not to let them endanger the country, and not to make them anxious;

There are no rules, and everyone does things in the rules, so that they can lift the weight and eliminate the disaster. ”

Li Qing asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Help me persuade my father that he can't be willful anymore." Xiaopang smiled bitterly, "My son is far less good at talking than Brother Qing." ”

Li Qing nodded slightly, "Now?" ”

"If Brother Qing is fine, let's go." Chubby said.

"I'm fine, but ......," Li Qing frowned, "Jingshi's side... Can you handle it alone? ”

"This is still no problem, at least Wenchen and I can stabilize it, as for the generals...... The father is still alive, and they don't dare to act rashly. ”

"Okay, I'll rush to Peking tomorrow." Li Qing nodded, "Do you want him to return to Beijing immediately?" ”

"It's not necessary, just let him have a number in his heart." Xiaopang sighed, "The queen mother's body is ...... Let her have a good time, and besides, it's not too late. ”

Li Qing said lightly, "The situation may not be as critical as you think, the system of the Ming army is quite perfect, your father is in good health, and the vassal king has no military power, so if you can't get up, don't worry." ”

"When Jianwen was in power, the military system was good, but what was the result?" Xiaopang shook his head, "Brother Qing, you still haven't seen it thoroughly, the official gentry does not refer to civil officials, why is the noble not an official gentry?" ”

Li Qing was speechless.

He now feels that the ancient emperors were not as later generations thought, calling for wind and rain and doing whatever they wanted.

Many times, the emperor had to compromise.

Even, many mediocre emperors in history are not really mediocre, but forced to compromise.

Think about it, the emperor sits on the world, does he want to die of the country?

But anyone with a normal brain will want to govern the world better, leaving a prosperous era for their children and grandchildren, and their names will go down in history.

But throughout the ages, there are very few things that can be done well.

Most of the time the prosperity of the dynasty is in the early stage of the establishment of the dynasty, and as there are more and more people with vested interests, the kings of later generations will become worse and worse.

Or perhaps, it's not that they are bad, it's that the power in their hands is getting smaller and smaller, and they are powerless to do anything.

……

In the evening, Li Qing called the three daughters, "Girls, clean up, let's go out for a long time." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Beiping."

Wan Ling was surprised, "It's so far, it's almost the New Year, aren't you at home?" ”

"It's a bit of business, but it's not very important." Li Qing said with a smile, "The New Year has passed in Beiping. ”

After a pause, "Of course, if you want to go, the gentleman will go alone." ”

"Let's go." The three girls nodded decisively.

It's rare that Mr. can still take them with him on a mission, and the three girls naturally don't want to miss it.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Bring more thick clothes, it's not as cold as Jinling, it's cold in winter." ”

"Hey, okay." The third girl smiled, and Lianxiang asked, "Sir, can you see snow in Beiping?" ”

"Of course, the snow is so heavy that it can drown the necks and even the calves." Li Qing said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will take you to enjoy the snow scene, build a snowman or something." ”

The three daughters have lived in Jinling since childhood, and have never seen much snow, Jinling has a pleasant climate, even if there is occasional snow in winter, it is immediately melted, and they are very yearning for the snow scene.

Redsleeves asked, "When will you go?" ”

"Tomorrow, I haven't taken you out for a long time, so let's have a different year this year."

"yes, okay." Red Sleeves smiled and agreed, "Then the concubine will go and tell the next person." ”

Following.

Early in the morning, Li Qing's family went out in a luxury carriage.

The carriage was spacious and comfortable, covered with a thick carpet, and very soft, so it was not a problem to lie down and sleep.

Li Qing was very low-key on this trip, he didn't even bring an escort, only two horsemen, except for Xiaopang, no one knew that he was going to Beiping.

It took nearly 20 days to arrive in Beiping.

When Li Qing went to spy on Zhu Di before, the inn where he stayed had changed his running skills, and the counter owner had become a young man in his twenties.

Fortunately, the taste of haggis soup has not changed.

The hot haggis soup, served with scallion pancakes, is called an authentic one.

A bowl of haggis soup is in the stomach, and the whole body is hot and warm.

The three girls refused to be haggis at first, but they couldn't withstand Li Qing's temptation, and soon it was really fragrant, with pepper, and the tips of their noses were sweating.

(PS: After Zheng He went to the West, the price of pepper was reduced more than tenfold, and it has gradually become popular. ）

"Hiccup~!"

The three girls leaned back on the chair, rubbed their stomachs and were intoxicated, and Wanling sighed: "It's not good-looking, it's weird and delicious, and the portion is really a lot, and it's not expensive." ”

Li Qing said with a smile, "Jinling is a Jingshi, so the price is naturally higher." ”

The price of Beiping is indeed low, this bowl of haggis, that is, the price of a bowl of noodles in Jinling, a large scallion pancake, is only ten yuan, and after a meal, four people only spent fifty yuan. ”

One side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, the south pays attention to exquisiteness, and the north pays attention to affordability.

The restaurants here are full of portions.

After eating and drinking, it was already approaching evening, and he was afraid that the third girl would be cold, so Li Qing added some extra money and asked the guy to get a few more stoves.

It's cold and snowy outside, but it's warm inside, which is a different taste.

The bed in the inn is not small, four people are crowded, and they can still sleep, and there is no pinhole camera in this era.

……

The next day, Li Qing woke up in the middle of noon.

The three girls had already gotten up and finished dressing up, they were wearing thick cardigan jackets, cotton pants, and pleated skirts, and they were fat in a big circle.

Li Qing stretched his waist, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk!" ”

The third girl suddenly smiled, and Lianxiang looked forward to it, "It's snowing outside, it's snowing." ”

Li Qing smiled while washing, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see it right away." ”

Red sleeves said: "The concubine went and let the guy get some food, Mr. had breakfast, let's go out again?" ”

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat."

"Let's go, then." Li Qing stretched his waist, "I'm not hungry now, I'll take you to eat a good meal at noon." ”

Half an hour later, the four of them went out.

At this time of year in Beiping, everything is sluggish, snowflakes are one after another, each piece is as big as a thumbnail cover, connected into a piece, and after walking for a while, the three girls turned white.

Li Qing's hood mask also accumulated snow.

Redsleeves chuckled, "Sir, we're old together." ”

Looking at them who were no longer young, Li Qing sighed softly, "Yes! ”

The four of them walked through the heavy snow, enjoyed the rare snow scene, cherished the present time, and chatted about cheerful topics.

The snow is very heavy, and the road surface has accumulated a thick layer of snow, and when you walk on it, you 'creak' and 'creak', and the hot air exhaled when you talk condenses into a white mist and quickly dissipates.

The wind was blowing, and although the women were wearing thick clothes, they couldn't bear it for a long time, but they didn't want to go back.

Li Qing gave them a burst of true anger one by one, and the three girls suddenly felt warm.

Over the years, the gentleman has often passed on the true qi to them, and they have long been surprised by this method.

After walking for half an hour, Red Sleeves suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sir, didn't you say that there is a tolerance to do it?" ”

"Isn't this on the way to the office?"

"Take us on an errand?" Wan Ling was surprised, "Could it be that the imperial court also wants to build a weaving bureau here?" ”

"Of course not." Li Qing smiled, "Go and meet someone." ”

Zhu Di took Xu Miaoyun back to Beiping, but he didn't make a big deal of it, and only high-level officials in the DPRK and China knew, and the three daughters couldn't guess who they wanted to see.

"Who are you going to see?"

"You'll know when you go." Li Qing was afraid of scaring them, so he smiled, "It's not a big person, calm down." ”

The third girl nodded.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the four of them came to the gate of King Yan's mansion.

Looking at the Jinyi guards around, the three girls were even more puzzled, even the grinning Lianxiang also looked serious, and whispered, "Sir, who are we going to see?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Li Qing smiled and stepped forward to report his identity to Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

After confirming his identity, Qianhu immediately entered the mansion to report, and after a short time, he walked out again, "Yongqing Marquis, please." ”

"Let's go!" Li Qing pulled the three daughters and stepped into the palace.
