At the beginning of October, the capital.

The emperor returned from the imperial expedition, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi led hundreds of officials to greet him.

Although Han Han has already become a domain, the shadow left by Han Han is still there, and the last time he was cheated because of the fact that he was not lightly pitted, he didn't dare to be sloppy anymore.

As soon as he received his son's secret letter, he put down what he was doing and summoned hundreds of officials to make full preparations.

At the gate of the city, the dragon chariot stopped, and Zhu Di helped his eldest grandson to walk down the dragon chariot.

Xiao Fat stroked the hem and knelt down: "The son greets his father and the emperor in triumph, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Ministers welcome the triumph of the Holy Lord!" All the officials bowed together, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Zhu Di waved his sleeves lightly: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

"Your Majesty." The ministers stood up with respectful expressions.

Seeing this situation, Li Qing relaxed slightly, looking at this appearance, he should have thought too much.

glanced at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also looked relaxed.

"Go back to the palace."

……

Li Qing didn't guess blindly, and went directly to find Xiaopang, whether the ministers had any small movements, Xiaopang definitely knew.

East Palace.

Li Qing checked Xiaopang's body as usual, and everything was fine, although Xiaopang suffered from three highs, it was not serious, and he didn't even need to take medicine to recuperate.

Xiaopang knew that Li Qing's family would not return, so he came as soon as possible, definitely not only to check his health, so he retreated:

"Brother Qing, if you have something to ask, ask directly."

"Then you're welcome." Li Qingdao said, "The emperor has personally conquered these days, can something big happen in Beijing?" ”

"What kind of thing does Brother Qing think is a big deal?" Chubby asked rhetorically.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "In this way, something big has happened." ”

Chubby was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Sort of." ”

Li Qing took a sip of tea and waited for the following.

After a while, Xiaopang sorted out the wording and said: "The smuggling at sea continues, the Japanese are gone, but the thieves have not been eliminated, and the family, the nobles, and the vassal kings are all involved. ”

Li Qing's brows furrowed even deeper, and he calmed down and asked, "How did you deal with it?" ”

"I didn't deal with it." Chubby shook his head.

"What?" Li Qing was surprised, "Why don't you deal with it?" ”

Xiaopang sighed helplessly, "Once the platform is launched, the strategy of southerners moving north is bound to be blocked, smuggling is not a bad thing, it can drive the development of the handicraft industry;

The migration of the south-south people to the north is even more of the most important thing, and it must not be forced to stop, but must be carried out in one go. ”

"But ......"

"Brother Qing, listen to me." Xiaopang smiled bitterly: "Now the interests of the nobles and the gentry are gradually unified, their weight is too great, it is impossible not to make a compromise, if it is really a one-size-fits-all, the trade under the West will definitely be stopped." ”

Li Qing shook his head: "You also underestimate your father's deterrent power. ”

"What about after the father? Anyway, I can't hold it down, and Junji is choked enough. "Xiaopang said weakly, "Now the pattern has changed, the previous nobles can suppress the official gentry, but the current noble is a unified front with the official gentry,

The interests at sea are too great, everyone wants to take a bite, and the best way I can think of is that the court eats meat, and they drink soup, if not...... I am afraid that after my father and emperor will last forever, the national policy of going to the West will disappear. ”

Li Qing didn't refute: "Aren't you going to tell your father about this?" ”

"I don't want to," Chubby nodded, and said helplessly, "but I can't help but tell him that I don't dare to commit the crime of bullying the king, and besides, I can't hide it." ”

"Brother Qing, you always have a way, you want to recruit it." Chubby looked at him expectantly.

Li Qing was speechless: You really look up to me.

However, the ban on the sea is not a bad thing in general, although the rich benefit is the most, but the poor can also follow suit, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

The only worry is that once the sea ban is lifted in advance, the migration of southern people to the north will be affected, and the transfer of Daming granaries will also be stranded.

There is only one optimal solution in this case: inaction.

Chubby did the same, and the effect was not bad.

But the problem is that Zhu Di will never be like this, this is not his style, once he learns that the smuggling continues, he will be strictly investigated to the end.

"No wonder the officials are so honest this time, and they dare to be empty!" Li Qing smiled helplessly, "The gun shoots the first bird, and I don't covet this, so I can't afford to be the leader."

But... When the time comes, try to persuade. ”

"Yes." Chubby nodded and smiled: "You speak more effectively than me;

On the grassland, Zhan Ji told me that this Northern Expedition has gained a lot, and the Ming Dynasty will have a long period of peace in the future, and he can focus on developing internal affairs. ”

He smiled and said, "Brother Qing this time, you have worked hard, you have to eat and drink well." ”

I think you want to eat...... Li Qing didn't poke him, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"Haha...... Who are we with? Chubby smiled proudly: "Come on, prepare wine and food." ”

……

When Li Qing returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already afternoon.

I haven't seen her for nearly a hundred days, the third daughter seems to be getting older again, Li Qing is a little sad, he understands that the real parting is not far away.

This day will come sooner or later, and he doesn't know when it will come, so he can only cherish the moment.

After talking about the old days for a long time, in the evening, Li Qing took a hot bath, went back to the room to give the three girls a real time, lay on the big bed, and told them stories.

Talking and laughing, they fell asleep one after another, and Li Qing pressed the complicated thoughts and fell asleep.

Next.

Li Qing heard the noise outside in a daze, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Sir is awake." Wan Ling smiled, "A lot of adults have come, saying that they are asking Mr. to do a trick." ”

"Huh...... Forgot about the stubble. Li Qing got up, put on his robe with the help of Wan Ling, washed himself with warm water, and walked out of the room.

In October, it was already a little cold in Beiping.

At this time, the sun rises and the temperature gradually rises, and sweat on their foreheads, half of them are hot, half of them are urgent.

The 100-day period has arrived, and time is running out for them.

As soon as they thought that the cold air penetrated deep into their bone marrow, their scalps were numb, and that kind of extreme itching was something they didn't want to experience anymore.

~

A group of people came early in the morning, waited for most of the hour, looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to Li Qing.

"Li Shangshu."

"I've seen Li Shangshu." The crowd rose and stepped forward.

Li Qingtuan arched his hand and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat." ”

The crowd sat down.

Jian Yi got straight to the point: "Li Shangshu, it's time to enter the third stage of treatment, right?" ”

The older a person gets, the more he spares his life, and in the matter of life and death, righteousness is no longer in harmony.

Li Qing readily agreed: "Then let's start with Jian Shangshu first." ”

"So, thank you." Jian Yi was overjoyed and was the first to receive treatment.

Li Qing opened the needle box, took out the silver needle for sterilization, and then acupuncture......

After a few stitches, he asked unintentionally: "Jian Shangshu, does the smuggling situation in Jiangnan still exist?" ”

Jian Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with embarrassment: "This ...... This official does not know, it may or may not exist, who knows. ”

Li Qing smiled and asked again: "Regarding smuggling, what do you think of Jian Shangshu?" ”

Can you prick the needle well, I haven't lived enough, old man...... Jian Yi resisted the urge to vomit badly, and said with a dry smile: "This ...... There are still many benefits to opening the sea, Shengming has no past the emperor, didn't the emperor say that the imperial court should open the sea ban? ”

When he came up, he used the emperor as a shield, and he deserved to be an old bastard...... Li Qing scolded and didn't ask again.

Judging from Jian Yi's reaction, the situation is not serious, at least this group of people knows how to cover it up, and they think that they are not doing it right.

Li Qing was quiet in acupuncture, Jian Yi was also relieved, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Half an hour later, Li Qing wrote down a prescription: "Grab the medicine according to the prescription, take it three times a day, and the cold can be completely eliminated in seven days." ”

"Thank you Li Shangshu for your skill." Jian Yi got up and felt it, and praised: "Li Shangshu is really Hua Tuo alive, and the official feels much better now." ”

That's your psychological effect, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't treat it...... Li Qing smiled modestly, "Next." ”

Xia Yuanji stepped forward, "I'm tired." ”

"Xia Shangshu is polite."

……

After a busy morning, Li Qing finally sent these people away, Li Qing had lunch, went to the yamen of the military department for a walk, and after punching the card, he came back to lie down the corpse.

Next.

Early in the morning, Zhu Zhanji came.

Li Qing also has no temper, why is it so difficult to sleep lazily?

"What's the matter?"

"Uncle Qing, something happened." Zhu Zhanji said, "The secretary of the ministry is still in the book, the cabinet scholar Yang Shiqi, and the right attendant of the criminal department Yang Mian...... Went to prison. ”

"Good fellows." Li Qing gloated, "The root of the disease that was imprisoned last time has just been removed, and they can't wait to go in, I really don't know what is good in this prison." ”

Zhu Zhanji was speechless: "Why can you still laugh?" ”

"Can't I still cry?" Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Let me guess, hmm...... Are they in prison because of the sea ban? ”

Zhu Zhanji's face was shocked: "Qingbo, you are really a god, you can guess this." ”

"Small."

"Do you have a solution?"

Li Qing shook his head: "They are looking for death by themselves, why should I have a way." ”

"......" Zhu Zhanji said, "This morning, they persuaded the imperial grandfather to open the sea immediately, but the imperial grandfather did not agree, they persuaded hard, and then they were put in prison, in fact, I think there is nothing wrong with opening the sea in advance." ”

"How?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "With the widespread cultivation of Yongle beans and Yongle rice, there is almost no food crisis, and even if a large area of mulberry is planted in the south of the Yangtze River, it will not cause the people to go hungry." ”

"But it will lead to the blockage of the northward migration of the southern people, affecting the economy and granary of the Ming Dynasty, and the general strategy of moving north." Li Qing disagreed.

"I don't think so." Zhu Zhanji retorted, "I haven't been idle all these years, I can see those things in the court, and the ministers know how to be sophisticated, and they also abide by the rules.

If the emperor agrees to open the sea, they will definitely not gain an inch, but will return the favor and work harder in the matter of the migration of the people;

Because, they are smart people, and smart people want to continue to develop, not to buy and sell. ”

Li Qing looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise, "Yes, the comprehension is still very thorough, but ...... Have you ever thought about the psychology of the people?

Once the sea is opened in advance, the lives of the people in Jiangnan will definitely rise in a straight line, will they still come to the north? ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I really don't want to go on with internal friction." ”

"I don't want to, but how can everything go smoothly." Li Qing sighed: "Nine or eight times out of ten things are unsatisfactory in life, how many people are not selfish? ”

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while: "Can you compromise?" ”

"You can try, but it's unlikely." Li Qing did not have expectations.

"You're with me, aren't you?" Zhu Zhanji said affectionately, "Grandpa Huang listens to the two of us the most." ”

Who's going to give it to you...... Li Qing glanced at him, but when he thought of it, he agreed to Xiaopang, and nodded: "I can help, but ......"

"Got the money, huh?" Zhu Zhanji teased, "Uncle Qing, you are really a money fan." ”

"Then I'm not going."

"Don't don't, don't, I'll give the money, will a hundred taels of gold be made?"

Li Qing reluctantly agreed, adding: "I'm not responsible for the result. ”

"No problem, sooner rather than later, let's go."

~

Qianqing Palace.

After listening to the suggestions of the two, Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he slowly shook his head: "What you said has some truth, but I think it ...... You can't let that group of people taste the sweetness. ”

Li Qing is not surprised, if Zhu Di agrees, it will be unexpected.

Zhu Zhanji still wanted to work hard, "Grandpa, compromise is not a compromise." ”

"Fart!" Zhu Di scolded: "How many times have you said it, don't learn from your father, don't learn from your father, why don't you listen, this compromise, and there will be a compromise in the future, do you understand the reason that precedents can't be opened?" ”

"What about the Jiangnan thieves ......?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

"Hmm......" Zhu Di looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister is old." ”

This time, Zhu Di didn't force it, maybe he was old himself, and he could experience the feeling of powerlessness, and thought about it: "Then let the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei go out." ”

"Zhanji, remember, this court situation is like a tug-of-war, and you can't let a single step." Zhu Di taught, "If you don't use tough methods, you must be the one who suffers, don't learn your father's set, let alone the golden mean of officialdom,

Mean, mean, in the end, it's really mediocre. ”

Zhu Zhanji didn't agree much, but he didn't dare to refute: "Grandson remember." ”

……

Although Zhu Di is old, he is still the Yongle Emperor with tough means, and he does not tolerate sand in his eyes.

On the second day, a factory and a guard were dispatched on a large scale and went to Jiangnan to suppress the Kou.

Zhu Di's determination to crack down on smuggling made the ministers tremble.

At the same time, it also makes them resentful.

Since the Song Dynasty, Zhu Di has definitely been the most hated Han emperor by the gentry, and there is no one.

His exploitation and oppression of the gentry has reached the level of perversion, and Zhu Yuanzhang is inferior by three points.

But it is also very dangerous to do this, Li Qing is terrified, I am really afraid that Zhu Di will force people into a hurry and repeat the mistakes of [Tang Sai'er].

The cake of maritime trade is not only staring at the civil official group from the family, but also the Xungui group.

Under the trend of interests, the two forces are likely to come together, and once they join forces, the consequences will be serious.

Zhu Di naturally understood this, so he asked Dongchang to closely monitor hundreds of officials and always pay attention to the wind and grass.

As a result, the relationship between the monarch and the minister became more tense and the contradictions deepened.

The smell of gunpowder in the court is extremely strong, but if there is a small spark, it is a big disaster.
