Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and others visited again, and a group of bigwigs gathered together.

"Li Shangshu, this time the people of the south moved north, and the cabinet should also participate in it," Jian Yi asked: "What do you think of the cabinet?" ”

What can I think? Li Qing rolled his eyes, "The holy will is very clear, whoever does a good job, who occupies the initiative, as long as the six departments do a good job, they can't stand up." ”

Xia Yuanji smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "Jian Shangshu means that you have a specific way to deal with it. ”

"Li Shangshu is talented, I already have a case in the future, and I hope to give advice." The crowd flattered.

Although they hate Li Qing in their hearts, they also recognize Li Qing's ability, especially his influence on the emperor, which is incomparable.

Li Qing glanced at everyone and said, "There is no belly case, but there is a piece of advice, do you want to listen to it?" ”

"Please Li Shangshu make it clear." Jian Yi said.

"To put it bluntly, this migration of people is competition, and since it is competition, there are benign and vicious." Li Qing said: "If you want the cabinet to stand up, you must first wipe your butt clean;

Don't forget, there is also a metropolitan procuratorate to watch, the official can say that the dead man can be said with one mouth, and the critical moment is ruthless, not only the parties are uncomfortable, but also affect the overall situation, and even lose because of this is not unusual. ”

Li Qing took a sip of tea and said lightly: "You don't want to be a stepping stone for the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, right?" ”

A group of people were silent.

After being in this position for so long, who hasn't seen something unsavory?

Li Qing got up with a bright face: "I will make a statement today, no matter what you do, my military department will make every effort to promote the national policy of moving the people from the south to the north this time, and spare no effort;

I can't guarantee how the Sixth Department will be, but I can guarantee that the squire of my military department will never be exiled to Nanjing. ”

He glanced at his two squires and said domineeringly: "You two rest assured, with me, no one in the cabinet can replace you." ”

Shangshu mighty...... The left and right attendants of the military department were almost moved to tears.

Others looked at their own Shangshu with a look of hope, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and several other Shangshu, and hurriedly made promises.

Li Qing saw that the situation was clear, and said with a straight face: "This time is different from the past, this time there is no room for sloppiness, if you don't want to be eliminated, treat it with twelve points of spirit." ”

After a pause, "If Li Mou's speech is ugly, if anyone is still fishing in troubled waters this time, then they don't have to do it at all, and they can go directly to Nanjing to take office." ”

Jian Yi took a deep breath, got up and said: "Li Shangshu is reasonable, this time is different from the past, you don't have to have a fluke mentality anymore." ”

……

Not long after the group left, Zhu Zhanji came.

"Uncle Qing, my father has put me in charge of the army." Zhu Zhanji said happily.

"Congratulations." Li Qing said lightly, and then disappeared.

"......," Zhu Zhanji asked, "where do you think it is more appropriate for me to start?" ”

"Whatever." Li Qing said speechlessly, "You are not a child anymore, and you know a lot about the Ming army, how can such a big person not have any opinions at all?" ”

Zhu Zhanji not only didn't pretend to be it, but was counted down by Li Qing, and couldn't help but have black lines on his face.

Seeing Li Qing frowning, he asked curiously, "What do you want, Qingbo?" ”

"Since the emperor agrees, then you will be in charge of the army as soon as possible." Li Qing said solemnly, "In the near future, there may be chaos." ”

"Mess?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, "You mean that the second uncle is going to rebel?" ”

Li Qing asked rhetorically: "Are you so sure that your second uncle will rebel?" ”

"Uh......" Zhu Zhanji sneered, "I have also heard about the second uncle, and frankly speaking, he was cheated by his grandfather, and he must not be able to swallow this breath in his heart." ”

"He won't rebel." Li Qing shook his head, "Le'an is just a county seat, he has no guards, no city, and is only a thousand miles away from Jingshi, why should he be opposed?" ”

"This ...... What if? ”

Li Qing asked: "In case he really reverses one day, how do you plan to deal with it?" ”

"I ......," Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, "If he knows the current affairs, I will let him spend his old age in the Jingshi Han Palace." ”

"What if he doesn't know the times?"

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a moment, "Kill!" ”

Li Qing sighed secretly: He is worthy of being Zhu Di's most optimistic heir, he is really decisive in killing, and he is not soft on his own uncle.

Frankly speaking, from a personal point of view, Li Qing did not like Zhu Zhanji very much, but from the perspective of the king of a country, Zhu Zhanji met all his expectations of the emperor.

Zhu Zhanji has the qualities that a Ming Jun should have, and he is also quite capable, although he is not sophisticated enough, but he is already very good in all aspects.

Zhu Zhanji has the ruthlessness of his grandfather and the talent of his father, he is ruthless, decisive, and does not drag his feet at all, and at the same time has a heart to govern the country and the country.

Such a person being the emperor is the good fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't talk about this, I let you take charge of the army as soon as possible, not because of your second uncle."

"...... that?"

"When I say mess, I mean the South."

Zhu Zhanji was puzzled: "If the city is banned, it will be turned into a business, the city will be turned into a business, as soon as the shipping is opened, and the city is built, whether it is the ordinary people or the rich gentry and landlords, they can get a piece of the pie. ”

"It's not a thief, it's... Officials, nobles, or vassal kings. ”

"This ...... You mean, they have different hearts? ”

"Not necessarily, but it's always better to prevent problems before they happen." Li Qing sighed, "The profits of maritime trade are too great, and they can quickly make many families rise, and even rise to an extremely high height.

But there is no one who has some power, and no one does not want to get a share of it, even the vassal king;

In this process, they are in frequent contact, or form an industrial chain, or cooperate with each other, in short, in the end, it must be a bundle of interests. ”

Zhu Zhanji instantly got to the point, and said solemnly: "If the official gentry and the vassal king are tied together, the consequences will be serious." ”

"Huh? It's not going to turn the world upside down. Li Qing shook his head: "The current Daming is the time when the national strength is the strongest, they can't oppose it, and they don't dare to oppose it, but it will make the Ming Dynasty fall into internal friction." ”

"Also, there's one more thing that's important." Li Qing said solemnly, "Once there is chaos in Jiangnan, the group of people in the court will inevitably take advantage of the topic and shout to move the capital back to Nanjing;

Even in order to return to Nanjing, they would secretly help the troublemakers, making the chaos bigger and bigger, and finally had to move back. ”

Zhu Zhanji gasped, and his expression became serious: "What do you mean...... I'm going to garrison Nanjing? ”

Li Qing nodded: "You are the crown prince, and you are in charge of the army, as long as you go to Nanjing, whether it is the official gentry in the south or the officials in Beijing, they will not dare to make any changes;

But you don't have to be in a hurry, the sea doesn't land so quickly, and it will take at least half a year. ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned: "I can do it in the first half of the year, and I have no problem going to Nanjing, but the problem is ......."

He smiled bitterly and said: "The crown prince is already a bit taboo in charge of the army, if he goes all the way to Nanjing, I am afraid that it will give people the feeling of one dynasty and two emperors, and rumors will definitely spread at that time." ”

"Your dad isn't like that." Li Qing smiled, "Rumors stop at the wise. ”

"It's different." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "Don't you hear: Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and not usurped?"

You said it, those people want to make a big mess, how can they agree to let me go to Nanjing?

The rumors have been said a thousand times, but they have come true, and I don't want my father and son to be suspicious and deviate from morality. ”

Li Qing was speechless, so he had to retreat to the next thing: "Then you take over the army first, and as for the follow-up...... It depends. ”

"yes, yes." Zhu Zhanji agreed.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Li Qing said, "This time the south's northward migration will be unprecedentedly strong, Shangshu Shilang will not go to the countryside, the main force should be a Beijing official such as Langzhong, Yu Qian is a very capable person, and he is also familiar with Jiangnan, and he has been staying in this position in the middle of the matter, which is really a bit condescending, you can introduce it." ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "This kind of trivial matter, you can just tell your father, why do you have to ...... me?"

"It's not a big deal, but the parties are big." Li Qing interrupted him and admonished, "Yu Qian is very human, he will be the emperor one day, and you can be your humerus minister." ”

"He's really that good?"

"Trust me, that's right." Li Qing said lightly, "When did my vision deteriorate?" ”

Zhu Zhanji thought about it, "No problem, is there anything else?" ”

"Hmm......" Li Qing thought for a while and added: "When the time comes, he can be in a high position, but not too high." ”
