Yongqing Marquis Mansion, front yard lobby.

A group of scholars, squires, and scholars...... gathered here, all of them looked anxious, scratching their ears and cheeks.

The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion was instructed in advance, and he was embarrassed: "Ladies and gentlemen, my Hou Ye is in a hurry for official business and has no time to meet guests. ”

"What's the matter?" Jian Yi grabbed his arm and said impatiently, "You go quickly, we are even more anxious, we are all dying." ”

The others agreed, can they not be in a hurry, they are all scratching their bald skin.

The housekeeper saw that these people were like thunder, and he almost wanted to go crazy, and he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart: "Wait a minute, the adults, let the maid go to the backyard to urge." ”

"Let's go." Xia Yuanji, who has always been gentle, also got angry.

Itching, which penetrates deep into the bone marrow, is far more terrible and unbearable than pain.

The housekeeper shuddered and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

A group of people, itching and unbearable, eager to pierce.

A quarter of an hour later, the housekeeper hurried over, "My lord said that I will officially meet the guests in the afternoon." ”

At Li Qing's behest, the housekeeper bit the word 'formal' very hard, although he didn't understand why he said that.

He didn't understand, but the court bigwigs understood.

How can there be a reason to visit empty-handed?

What's more, Li Qing is famous, how can they not understand - prepare gifts!

A group of people scolded in their hearts, but they could only grit their teeth and endure the itching to go back to prepare a generous gift.

- Ma Dan, Li Qing, you'd better be able to cure it!

……

Shen Shi.

The ministers gathered in the Hou Mansion again, and they who had endured it for a long time almost collapsed, and they didn't want to experience it for a moment when they wanted to scratch their skin.

Seeing Li Qing coming, he immediately couldn't wait to get up and arched his hand: "Wangyongqing Marquis (Li Shangshu) will give a wonderful hand." ”

Li Qingtuan said: "Your business, Ben Hou has heard about it, but it's just ......"

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they lost their hearts and said: "Li Shangshu can't help it?" ”

"Not really."

"Oh."

"But Benhou doesn't have time."

"Huh?"

"Of course, if you are willing to help Benhou complete the emperor's explanation as soon as possible, it is not impossible."

"Oh."

"But... I'm afraid you won't agree. ”

"Huh?"

The continuous ups and downs, the ups and downs, and the cultivation of everyone or something, were also left behind, and shouted: "What the hell is going on!?" ”

"That's a long story." Li Qing walked to the main seat and sat down, and said in a loud voice: "The housekeeper serves tea." ”

"Yes, sir." The housekeeper answered and hurriedly went to prepare.

After a while, the butler served tea, and then beckoned his servants to bring the gifts brought by everyone out of the guest hall.

Regardless of whether it is cured or not, the gift is accepted first, and you can't suffer a loss.

Li Qing accepted the gift, but everyone did not relax, they had already learned the virtue of taking money and not doing anything.

It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Jian Yi opened his mouth and said: "What the hell, Li Shangshu might as well say it directly, they are all the emperor's courtiers and officials of the Ming Dynasty......"

He couldn't help but scratch his back, but the itching sensation did not subside, and then he added painfully: "The food king's Lu is worried about the king, and we should contribute." ”

"Yes, Li Shangshu, please say it quickly." Xia Yuanji couldn't bear it anymore, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me what's going on." ”

"Hey~ What else can it be, that's it." Li Qing sighed, "The emperor wants to send troops to the Northern Expedition to attack the Tatar Department. ”

Everyone's faces changed slightly, they were just for this Zhao Prison, so they naturally didn't want to agree easily.

Xia Yuanji endured the itching and arched his hand: "The grassland infighting is a rare good thing for my Ming Dynasty, and it is not appropriate for the court to send troops, besides, now the southern people are still moving north, and the court has huge expenses...... Hiss~"

He hurriedly scratched his neck, but the itching feeling was still strong, "As a courtier, Li Shangshu should persuade the emperor to be so." ”

Li Qing sighed: "Xia Shangshu's words are not unreasonable, but the emperor's vision is more long-term;

Well... On the surface, the grassland infighting is indeed good for the Ming Dynasty, but the score is not?

Now that Varat is weak, the Tatar momentum is in a mess, if you keep sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and wait for the Varat to be destroyed, Mongolia will be unified by the Tatars! ”

Li Qing said solemnly: "Once the grassland is unified, it will definitely peek into the Central Plains." ”

"I have strong walls and powerful artillery, and even if they really get to that point, they will definitely hit their heads and bleed." Natsuhara Ji insisted on his opinion.

I'll go, Lao Xia, you're okay, it's tough enough...... Jian Yi cast an admiring glance at Xia Yuanji, and then spoke: "Li Shangshu, Xia Shangshu, going out to recruit troops and transfer food is all the business of your military department and household department, and we can't control it!" ”

The old oilman is the old oilman, and the level of righteousness is quite high.

First of all, I didn't agree; Second, I didn't refuse; not only kept his reputation, but also curried favor with Li Qing.

He took the lead and the mud, and the others immediately followed, saying that these were not his duties, and he couldn't help them.

Of course, most of these people still do not approve of sending troops in their hearts.

Without him, they wanted to weaken the emperor's influence on the army, thereby weakening the imperial power in disguise, and thus increasing their own influence.

But, it's so itchy, it's so itchy that they can't help it!

I have to say a few ambiguous words first, and in the future, the old things will be brought up again in the court, and there is still a way to turn around.

Li Qing has been in the officialdom for so many years, where he doesn't understand the thoughts of these people, but he didn't immediately expose it, but looked at Xia Yuanji: "What does Xia Shangshu think?" ”

Let's solve the household first!

"The official ......" It's itchy, itchy, so itchy that the old Xia wants to swear words, "The official thinks...... Li Shangshu, you better take a look at the official's illness first! ”

His face was full of pain: "The official is itching all over his body now, and his thoughts are all messed up." ”

"Alas......" Li Qing sighed, got up and said, "Everyone, go slowly, this official is going to be busy with official business." ”

Oh, there's no sincerity at all, so don't talk about it.

Officials: (╯‵□′) ╯(┻━┻

"Yongqing Hou, you...... Can it be cured? "Everyone is on fire: take the money and don't do anything, right?

Li Qing was not angry, and said slowly: "The emperor's destiny is greater than the sky, and those who are courtiers naturally have to put solving problems for the king in the first place." ”

A group of people were so angry that their livers hurt, but they couldn't open their mouths to refute it.

But the extreme itching continued, and it intensified, and under the torture, someone finally made a side.

"Lord Shangshu, we are in favor of sending troops." The two squires of the military department were the first to speak.

They were Li Qing's subordinates, and now they don't have any psychological burden against water.

"That's great." Li Qing looked surprised, "Let's go, let's discuss the details, and help you take a look by the way." ”

Saying that, Li Qing beckoned the two to move their nests, ignoring the others: Damn, give me a face, how old are you?

"Yongqing Hou stays." Someone started, and the bottom line of the people behind was much more relaxed, and Yang Shiqi of the cabinet opened his mouth to stay: "The lower officials think that the emperor thinks that the unification of Mongolia is very unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Not bad." Cabinet Huang Huai followed, "Yongle is still in the nineteenth year of Tatar, and it really should be fought!" ”

Li Qing looked back and smiled: "Let's go together." ”

"Yongqing Hou, wait a minute." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites sneered, "The lower officials also think ...... It is necessary to send troops. ”

"Okay, together."

"Yongqing Hou stays in the ......"

Li Qing stopped, and said angrily, "If you want to stay for a while, don't you see that people are still itchy?" ”

"The subordinate agrees to send troops."

"The subordinate also feels that there is a need to send troops."

"The Tatar jumping clown also dares to get an axe and try to peek into the Central Plains, which should teach him a lesson."

"Troops must be sent, troops must be dropped!"

……

If someone covers up the shame, the people behind will have no scruples, and no matter how shameful things are, once there are more people who do it, there will be no shame in what they do later.

came and went, except for Xia Yuanji, almost all of them agreed to send troops.

Xia Yuanji was really a little unbearable, it was comparable to torture and itching torture all the time tormenting him, making people nameless and almost crazy.

What he didn't know was that Li Qing hit him the hardest, so his itching was stronger than others.

There is no way, when it comes to sending troops, the household department has a lot of right to speak.

"Xia Shangshu ......?" Li Qing cast an inquiring look.

"This officer agrees to send troops." Natsuhara eventually gave up struggling.

First, he couldn't stand it anymore, and second, everyone agreed, even if he insisted, it didn't make sense.

Li Qing smiled, and simply sat back in his place: "Look at your situation, you should be suffering from the same disease, Jian Shangshu, you sit here, Ben Hou will give you a good look." ”

"Hey." Jian Yi stepped forward.

Although everyone was anxious, no one dared to rob it.

Li Qing put on Jian Yi's wrist and explained the cause of the disease in just a moment: "This is because I stayed in a dark and damp environment for too long, which caused too much moisture in my body, and I took a hot bath after being released from prison.

Before the moisture is discharged, it is stimulated by the heat, and the cold and heat are attacked, and the moisture is transformed into cold, which causes itching all over the body. ”

"Yongqing Hou is really a god!" Jian Yi was amazed: even I know that I take a hot bath.

Nonsense, although it's summer right now, with your physique, you can stand the cold water from the well...... Li Qing was secretly amused.

Not only Jianyi, but other people also took hot baths, first, the hot bath was comfortable, and second, they had been locked up in the humid Zhao Prison for a long time, and they were cold when they first came out.

Li Qing's face was serious: "There is some trouble now, the cold has already penetrated, if it is not eliminated in time, once it invades the bone marrow, then Benhou can't do anything." ”

He asked, "Jian Shangshu, is it useless to scratch your itching sensation?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Jianyi's lips trembled, and his voice trembled.

"That's right." Li Qing sighed: "This is caused by your body, of course scratching can't solve the problem." ”

"That's... Is there any salvation? "His face was as colored as earth, and he said, "Help me, I don't want to die."

Li Qing nodded: "Fortunately, it was found in time, and there is no danger to life for the time being, but it is ......"

Jian Yi's heart that he had just put down was raised again, and so did the others.

"But what?" Jian Yi asked.

Li Qing said helplessly: "The emperor ordered me to write a note, starting from Ming'er, and ...... with you in the court Ahem, debate with hundreds of officials, and prove the feasibility and necessity of sending troops!

Two sparse a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, one for one hundred officials, I write for one day, and if I disagree on the tenth, I write for the tenth;

Alas...... How easy is it to write a debate? Li Qing smiled bitterly, "It's not a secret, I haven't written a word yet." ”

"We've agreed to send troops."

"I know, but I know it's useless!" Li Qing spread his hands, "You have to know to the emperor, so that I don't have to write a debate, so that I can treat you wholeheartedly, right?" ”

"Cheng, you see first." Jian Yi urged, "I'll tell the emperor tomorrow." ”

"Oh, it's a little late today, and I haven't prepared it here, um......" Li Qing pondered for a moment and said: "You think it's good, I'll use acupuncture to help you suppress the cold first, what about you, go back and write the song, and hand it to the emperor in the morning tomorrow." ”

He patted his chest and promised: "I'll also prepare here, and we will start treatment as soon as we go to court tomorrow!" ”
