The spring outing is over, and the army returns.

When I came in spring, it was early summer when I returned.

The scorching sun is very annoying, and the sun makes people hot and listless.

There was an ice bucket in the dragon's chariot, but it was still difficult to offset the heat brought by the scorching heat.

Zhu Di's state is not very good, he is often in a state of false sleep, you talk to him, he can hear it, but he ignores people and does not fall asleep, but it is no different from falling asleep.

Fortunately, before coming, Li Qing had done all kinds of prevention, and all kinds of herbs were well prepared.

Li Qing boiled medicine for Zhu Di according to the pulse, but the effect was not great.

After taking the medicine a few times, Zhu Di also broke the jar and fell: If you don't pull a few bitter things, I won't drink it.

Li Qing coaxed a child, so he reluctantly let him insist on taking medicine.

Due to Zhu Di's physical reasons, the army stopped and stopped all the way, and the progress was not fast.

Zhu Di saw that he had been walking for nearly a month, and he was still some distance away from Juyong Pass, so he was a little impatient and ordered a quick march.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has been in charge of the country for so many years, there is no need to worry about state affairs, there is no need to rush so much." Li Qing persuaded.

"Don't worry, you can't die." Zhu Di snorted, "It's too uncomfortable to wander around all day here, how can you be comfortable in the palace?" ”

Li Qing couldn't resist him, so he could only let it go.

Mid-July.

The army entered the Yongguan Pass.

The crown prince and grandson led hundreds of officials to take over, and the ministers looked respectful, and the number of courtesies was quite in place.

This time, they really didn't dare to make any more extraneous branches, and no one wanted to go ahead of Zhu Di.

Li Qing drove into the palace, prescribed a prescription and handed it to Xiao Pang, and then said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, I want to ask for a leave." ”

"No."

"I'll be back in a month." Li Qing assured.

"That's not allowed." Zhu Di still shook his head, his face was stinky, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, you will come to the palace every day in the future and talk to me." ”

Zhu Zhanji said helpfully: "Li Qing, you too, you think about being lazy all day long, don't blame grandpa for being angry, I look angry." ”

Lick the dog shut up...... Li Qing glared at Zhu Zhanji angrily, "Your Majesty, I have something important." ”

"How big of a deal, is it important to be able to accompany the emperor's grandfather?"

Li Qing ignored him and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am sweeping my master's tomb this time." ”

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, but he didn't speak again, filial piety is greater than the sky, only the emperor can win love, he is not qualified not to let Li Qing go.

"Okay." Zhu Di didn't refuse again, "Don't delay too long, come back early, and accompany me to Changling to have a look." ”

Zhu Zhanji wanted to say: Grandpa, I'll accompany you.

But he was afraid that he would be misunderstood, as if he would die as soon as possible, so he shut up.

Zhu Di understood his intentions and said with a smile: "That place is unlucky, what are you doing there as a young man." ”

If you're unlucky, let me go, your family is really good...... Li Qing scolded and said goodbye.

~

went home and rested for one night, and the next day, Li Qing rode alone and embarked on the way back from visiting relatives.

Zhu Di didn't have a long time to live, he had worked hard all his life, and when he came, Li Qing didn't want him to have any regrets.

This can be regarded as compensation for Zhu Di, who has been conscientious for more than 20 years.

Li Qing traveled day and night, and ten days later, he arrived at Master Zhang's sloppy 'base area'.

Looking up, the green mountains are still the same.

I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know if Master's Alzheimer's disease has worsened...... Li Qing took a deep breath, carried the gift prepared in advance, and walked towards the mountain.

The Taoist temple is still the same Taoist temple, but it is older.

The vegetable garden is much bigger, and there are three points of corn planted on it, and it is good to serve, and the cobs are very large, and it looks very gratifying.

"Master, junior brother, I'm back." Li Qing raised his voice and shouted.

After a while, no one responded, and Li Qing stepped forward slowly.

The door was locked with a simple wooden latch, no need to use a key, Li Qing pulled out the latch, pushed the door and entered the room.

The room is very simple, but very clean, the quilts are stacked neatly, the table with a missing foot is spotless, and there is a half-turned "Yongle Ceremony" at the head of the bed, sandwiched with bamboo sticks, and the traces of residence are very heavy.

Li Qing looked at it for a week and went to the stove again.

The rice tank, noodle tank, and water tank were all half full, and Li Qing relaxed slightly.

This shows that the lives of Master and Zhu Yunwen are okay, and they only went out temporarily and did not move out of here.

Li Qing picked up the water ladle and poured half a scoop of mountain spring water, feeling very comfortable.

"It's still sweet in the mountains!"

When he had nothing to do, he went to the cornfield and broke a cob of corn, raised a fire and roasted it to eat.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, the master and apprentice came back with the medicine basket on their backs, and they were very surprised to see Li Qing.

However, soon Zhang was sloppy and sloppy, and Li Qing did not pay for it.

At the same time, I was completely relieved.

Thankfully, the old man did not have Alzheimer's.

When the master was angry, he smiled and said, "Master, you haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you today." ”

"Don't work forever." Zhang snorted sloppily, "You rabbit cub, what do you say to come and see every year, how many years have you been?" ”

"Master, I also want to come back often," Li Qing timidly explained, "It's all because the black-hearted emperor doesn't take a holiday." ”

"Heh," Zhang sloppy pouted, "I'm afraid I'm used to a good life, and I can't remember my bad old man." ”

"Where? The disciple is not that kind of person. Li Qing's face was sneering, "In a few years, the disciple will come back to support the master, and he will never go out again." ”

Zhu Yunwen relieved the siege and said: "Senior brother has worked hard all the way, let's go into the house and say." ”

"Oh yes."

Li Qing stepped forward and held Zhang's sloppy arm, "Master, slow down." ”

That kind of diligence is still three points better than Zhu Zhanji.

"The old man's body is stiff, so he doesn't need it." Zhang Sloppy looked disgusted, but he didn't push him away.

The three of them entered the house and sat down, Li Qing opened the baggage, revealing the golden gold, "Senior brother, you keep this, the quality of life must be improved, I didn't see meat in the stove just now." ”

"Senior brother still gives a lot of money." Zhu Yunwen smiled, "It's not a hot day, the meat is not easy to store, so you can't see it, in fact, we eat it a lot, and our lives are very good." ”

"That's kept, too." Li Qing said angrily, "Senior brother is rich. ”

"Virtue." Zhang snorted sloppily, "Is this time to see as a teacher, or is there something wrong?" ”

"Of course, it's up to Master." Li Qing nodded decisively, and then, a little embarrassed, said, "However, there are indeed some things. ”

"It's not for the emperor to see a doctor, right?"

You're all 'dead', and you still have a hammer, and you can't see it well...... Li Qing didn't dare to say what was in his heart, and shook his head: "It has something to do with junior brother." ”

"Me?"

Zhu Yunwen was surprised, "What's the matter?" ”

"He's near."

"Fourth uncle?"

Li Qing nodded.

Zhu Yunwen asked, "He wants to see me?" ”

"Nope." Before Li Qing could speak, Zhang was sloppy and scolded: "Li Qing, you bastard, isn't this pushing your junior brother into the fire pit?" ”

"It's not for him to go, it's just to write a letter of forgiveness." Li Qingdao said, "He doesn't have much time, he's afraid that he will be blamed by Emperor Taizu when he goes underground." ”

"Why did you go when you rebelled?" Zhang Sloppy is an old rascal who does not care about national affairs, and from an emotional point of view, he is of course towards his apprentice.

The old man has always helped his relatives and didn't help them!

Zhu Yunwen was not angry, but was unusually calm: "Is he okay?" ”

"It's all about to come soon, how good can it be?" Li Qing smiled bitterly, "Actually, over the years, he has not been comfortable, he has worked hard for more than 20 years, and he has not even slept a solid night, he is very majestic as an emperor, but he is also very hard." ”

"Yes, it's hard to be an emperor." Zhu Yunwen asked, "Can you tell me, how Daming is now?" ”

Li Qing nodded.

Spread into acres, Yongle rice, Yongle beans, grassland Pingding......

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were brilliant when he heard this, and he said happily: "He is really a promising king, not much weaker than the emperor's grandfather, he can be the emperor, it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

After a moment of silence, he said seriously: "I'll go with you." ”

"No, you can just write a letter."

"And how do you prove that I wrote the letter?" Zhu Yunwen asked rhetorically.

Li Qing had already prepared, "The customs clearance documents I gave you before, the guide is still there, just use that." ”

"It's been so long, it's faded, and the handwriting is blurry." Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said: "Moreover, with his suspicious character, he won't believe it if he doesn't see me in person, alas... It's not easy for him, so give him peace of mind. ”

"This won't work, if you go, he'll kill you." Li Qing's expression was serious.

Zhu Yunwen smiled: "Senior brother, you are in love, he will never kill me." ”

"Why?"

"Because he was afraid that he would go underground, and he would have no shame to face Taizu."

Li Qing choked for a moment and sighed: "Maybe, but for the sake of Da Ming's better inheritance, it is more likely that he will kill you." ”

"Then let him kill him." Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently, "He has done so many things for Daming, and he has also made up for the sins I committed, so it should be a reward for him!" ”
