As soon as he entered the palace, a little eunuch greeted him and gave a slight salute, "Marquis Yongqing, please come with our family." ”

Li Qing nodded, and took the three daughters to follow the little eunuch inside.

When the little eunuch saw him leading the three women, his expression was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.

A quarter of an hour later, the group ascended to the attic.

When the three girls saw Zhu Di in regular clothes, they knew who the person Mr. wanted to see was, and they almost exclaimed, but they really didn't expect that Mr. took them to see the emperor of the dynasty.

They had all seen Zhu Di, and although Zhu Di was not wearing a dragon robe at the moment, they recognized it at a glance.

didn't care about wondering why the emperor would appear here, the three daughters hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Long live the people's daughters to see my emperor." ”

"No courtesy." Zhu Di waved his hand, he was also a little surprised, Li Qing would bring a woman in.

Soon, the surprise turned into solemnity, Zhu Di frowned and said, "Li Qing, you came to Beiping with you, but what happened to Jingshi?" ”

"Nope." Li Qing said with a smile, "The minister was worried about the queen's phoenix body, so he came over and prepared to celebrate the New Year here." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di relieved himself a little and said to the little eunuch, "Go and arrange a place to live with them." ”

"The slave obeys."

The little eunuch hurriedly agreed, and said to the three daughters of Wanling, "Three ladies, please come with our family." ”

"Go ahead!" Li Qing's head gestured.

The third daughter nodded, saluted the monarch again, and then left with the little eunuch.

Zhu Di said, "You kid is not just for the queen's illness, to be honest, why did you come?" ”

"Something's true." Li Qing told Zhu Di about Xiaopang's worries one by one, "Your Majesty, the prince's worries are not unreasonable, forgive the ministers for courage, after the emperor has been eternal, such a big mess...... It's really hard for him;

The contradiction has risen, the surface is calm, but secretly it is turbulent, if it has not been dealt with, then the concentrated outbreak, the Ming will inevitably attract pain. ”

"Qingzhang Tianmu, didn't you mention it?" Zhu Di complained.

Li Qing was speechless: "Your Majesty, the problem is not to clear the acres of land, the focus is ...... You have to follow the rules. ”

"Obey the rules?"

Zhu Di's face was uneasy, "I am the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and I still have to look at the faces of the ministers?" ”

“…… It's not their faces, it's... Ah. Li Qing had a sense of powerlessness, so he had to say, "Your Majesty, conquer Jiaozhi, cut down Mobei, open the canal, and build a new capital...... What is the basis for the smooth implementation of various policies? ”

Zhu Di said proudly: "Of course it's my Yingming Shenwu!" ”

Li Qing: -_-||

"It is based on money, it is the prince's reconciliation and difficult mediation, so that Wenchen can do his best to open up sources and reduce expenditure......"

"Do you think it's human talk?" Zhu Di was furious, "Could it be that these exploits of mine are all the credit of the crown prince, and I am a tyrant who acts recklessly?" ”

"That's not what it meant." Li Qing supported his forehead and said comfortingly, "The emperor built a weaving bureau, opened a maritime trade, and compiled a grand ceremony...... The talent is strategic, few people can match, compared with the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty;

However, the great exploits of Emperor Qin and Han Wu are not the work of them alone, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and Qin Shi Huang can unify the six countries, and it is inseparable from the foreshadowing of the killing god Bai Qi;

I mean, the reason why the emperor has made such great achievements is inseparable from the prince's circumstance. ”

Li Qingzheng said, "It's not easy for the prince to be sincere, you also know this, the emperor, and you also recognize his ability, don't you?" ”

"Aang." Zhu Di's face looked a little better, and he snorted: "His ability to govern is quite good, but he is too close to Wenchen, so I bother him about this." ”

"......" Li Qing rolled his eyes, "If he doesn't get closer to Wenchen, maybe the Ming Dynasty... It's collapsed, why can't you understand it, Your Majesty?

It's not that the prince wants to be close to Wenchen, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, he can only be close to Wenchen. ”

Zhu Di cleared his throat and snorted, "I admit that governance... There are some problems, Gao Chi is really hard, but how can things be so serious. ”

"Definitely." Li Qing said solemnly, "The Ming Dynasty has been established for so long, in fact, there has not been much rest, the civil strife in the early Hongwu period has not been pacified, and the middle period of the expedition to Mobei, until the later period the people can breathe;

But it didn't take long to rest, and the battle of Jingjing began again;

And then again...... After a series of big moves, the people have long been exhausted. Li Qing persuaded: "Stop it, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Di was silent, and he had the heart to refute, but he couldn't find an excuse.

What Li Qing said is true, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for nearly 50 years, and the time to really recuperate is only more than ten years, and the burden on the people is really heavy.

"I spent a lot of money, but I can earn it!" Zhu Di forcibly saved his respect, "Does maritime trade make less money?"

Yes, Gao Chi led a group of civil officials to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and indeed contributed to alleviating the country's finances, but did they have a lot of money? ”

"Nope!" Li Qing shook his head, "But Your Majesty, a large part of the reason why the maritime trade can be carried out smoothly is that the crown prince has given them hope, if the prince behaves like you, the maritime trade will definitely be frequent;

The emperor should not forget that when building a new capital and opening the canal, he encountered all kinds of problems, and even the weaving bureau was overfired. ”

Li Qingdao said, "It is precisely because of the prince's closeness to Wenchen that they chose to be patient and not tear their faces;

Of course, the emperor's iron-blooded means of deterrence also played a key role. ”

Zhu Di's face was not very good-looking, but he did not refute it, sat down at the table by himself, poured a cup of tea, and tasted it carefully.

Seeing that he listened, Li Qing struck while the iron was hot, "Qin Shi Huang swept through the Six Kingdoms, however, not long after his death, the Great Qin family died;

The Xiongnu killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were frightened, but it also caused the emptiness of national strength, the household registration was nearly halved, peasant uprisings continued to occur, and class contradictions were sharp.

That's the price of great merit! ”

Li Qing sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and then continued, "The emperor's achievements are impressive, his fame shocks the world, and the emperors in history can compare with the emperor, no more than one hand;

However, the emperor's ability to spend money is rarely matched. ”

This is the big truth, Zhu Di is too good at spending money, and it is almost impossible to find an emperor in history who can spend money more than him.

Zhu Di's face was scornful, and he was powerless to refute.

Li Qing said again: "Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty opened the canal and sent troops to Goguryeo, and lost the throne, while the emperor conquered Jiaozhi in the south, invaded the Yuan people in the north, opened the canal, built a new capital, and compiled a grand ceremony...... can still spend money than him, but Daming is as solid as a rock;

Although it is the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, it is not the emperor's work alone. ”

"Alright, alright." Zhu Di couldn't listen to it anymore, and said angrily: "You came all the way to Beiping, did you come to bury me?" ”

"Don't dare!" Li Qing arched his hand and said, "The minister just wants to tell the emperor that after the great merit, the hidden calamity, as the so-called, is born in sorrow and dies in peace, if the emperor is complacent for the sake of merit, and ignores ......"

"Let's say a few words." Zhu Di's face darkened, "I listened to it, if there is nothing else, get out of here, I don't want to see you now." ”

His heart is now very blocked, and Li Qing's squirting is no worse than that of the official.

However, what Li Qing said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it, so he couldn't do it in his heart.

"Roll ......!" The more Zhu Di looked at Li Qing, the more unpleasant he became, "Get out!" ”

Li Qing sneered: "The queen's illness ......"

“…… Go and rest! The corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched, "After lunch, I will check the pulse of the queen." ”

"The minister retired."

……

Out of the attic, Li Qing looked up at the sky, and his mood was agitated.

Refreshing!

It's cool!

Li Qing finally experienced the happiness of a speech official, it turned out that spraying the emperor was so cool.

When I returned to the residence, I saw the third daughter sitting in a precarious position, and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, it's just like being at home, and the emperor won't come here, calm down." ”

The third girl nodded, slightly relaxed.

Reika whispered, "Sir is really...... didn't say it in advance, the concubine was not prepared at all. ”

"What do you need to prepare?" Li Qing smiled and said, "After lunch, come with me to meet the queen mother." ”

"yes, okay." The three daughters agreed.

It's the most basic etiquette, and they know it.

In fact, Li Qing brought the three daughters on his trip to Beiping, in addition to wanting to take them out for a walk, he also had other thoughts.

Taking advantage of the queen's diagnosis, the three daughters asked for a 'Lady of Destiny'.

It's not that I like that little bit of money, but to give them an identity, which can be regarded as a sign of comfort.
