Chapter 34: A touch of brightness is missing

Li Qing took a few steps back, tightened his belt, and tore the silk cloth that wiped the silver needles into strips of cloth to make leggings, looking like he was dressed short.

"Count how many you can turn over Brother Qing?"

"Hmm..."

Li Qing's calves tightened, his body sank slightly, and the next moment he rose into the air, and then his waist exerted force, and his body rotated 360° and landed firmly on the ground.

The moment your feet touch the ground, with a slight touch, you will rise into the air again, twist your body in the air, and land and take off......

Li Qing danced extremely fast, his movements flowed smoothly, without the slightest stagnation, and the more he danced, the faster he danced, like a spinning windmill......

[: Are you also here to sing?]

: yes, you too?

: I'm not, I'm going to watch the play!

The little chubby dun has a milky voice and is cute.

He couldn't help but pinch the little guy's pink face, Q bounce Q bomb, it felt very good.

: If you dare to pinch my face, I'm going to spank you.

: Just kidding, don't be angry, manly man, it's not okay to be so stingy.

: Hmph, my face is not made of dough.

The little chubby dun is fat, with a childish face with a bit of maturity, and the contrast is very cute.

: How old is Shizi this year?

: Four and a half years old.

The little guy had a proud face on his face, as if he was already an adult at the age of four and a half.

: You stay in the palace, play with me in the future, I have money, follow me, and eat well.

He couldn't help but laugh: I think about it.

Second encounter.

: Why don't you recognize me?

Chubby Dun'er was a little angry.

:I... I have a hard time.

He explained Balabala.

The little chubby dun was very coaxed and forgave him.

: I'll keep it a secret for you, good friend!

: Good friend, talk about righteousness!

: You're going to fight your father tomorrow, you can't die in battle!

: It's autumn, it's cold outside, come in and talk, Chubby, what's the length of your meat?

: How long can it be, it's all eaten one bite at a time.

The little chubby dun snorted, seemingly proud.

The third encounter, the fourth ......]

In his mind, the 'slide' kept flashing, Li Qing kept flipping his head, the movements were smooth, and he was very watchable, just like when he first saw him.

On the bed, Chubby's face was full of nostalgia, with a hint of aftertaste on the corner of his mouth, the morning sun poured in through the window, the floor was golden, and his face was radiant.

For a long time, for a long time......

He tried his best to persevere, but after all, he was powerless, and the morning light gradually lost its brilliance, and the picture began to blur.

He whispered: "Brother Qing, Mo has flipped over, little fat... I can't count ......."

The heavy eyelids slowly closed, and the faint smile on his face gradually froze.

"Father, father, ......!"

Zhu Zhanji howled heartbreakingly, and Queen Zhang cried out sadly.

Li Qing stopped his figure and burst into tears.

"The emperor ......" in the outer hall, the ministers cried out and cried.

……

The emperor died, the palace was busy, the vegetarian was replaced, and the ministers also went home to prepare.

Li Qing dragged his heavy steps, returned home dejected, changed into mourning clothes, and walked out in despair.

"Sir......" Wan Ling stopped him and handed him a piece of ginger.

Li Qing waved his hand slightly and didn't pick it up.

When I came to the palace again, it was already a blanket place, and there were cries everywhere.

"Cry~"

"Your Majesty's ......"

"Stop~"

It's this set again, but Li Qing's numb heart is still inevitably throbbing, even beyond the past.

The eyes are full of vegetarians, and the ears are full of crying......

The sun hid in the clouds, the sunny weather gradually became gloomy, the wind blew, raised the hanging white lanterns, raised the white clothes, and raised the waves in the heart......

It's snowing.

A crystal white snowflake fell on her eyelashes, blurring Li Qing's vision.

The snow became heavier and heavier, staining the entire palace white.

……

……

……

Three days later, Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne.

Approaching the end of the year, and the former emperor had just died, Zhu Zhanji did not make any big moves, but just handled government affairs step by step.

Everything is back to normal, and the huge machine of the Ming Dynasty will not stop spinning because of anyone's departure, even the emperor.

Li Qing had an indescribable melancholy, not grief-stricken, but a deep sense of loss.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he showed his face in the first morning, and stayed at home and did not go out.

He was so tired that he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to be bored.

A few days later, the annual leave was over.

During the national funeral, there was no red hanging color in the courtyard, and the taste of the New Year was much less, and life was less colorful.

New Year's Day.

It was a day to pay New Year's greetings to the new emperor, in previous years, Li Qing got up early in the morning and went to receive the red envelope happily, but this year he has been lying in bed and cannot afford it, and Wanling urged him several times before he got up.

The new emperor has just ascended the throne, even if he doesn't want red envelopes, he can't help but give this face.

When Li Qing arrived, Zhu Zhanji was already handing out red envelopes.

When it was Li Qing's turn, Zhu Zhanji whispered: "Don't leave yet, and follow me to the imperial study later." ”

"Okay."

~

The ministers dispersed, and the two came to the imperial study.

Zhu Zhanji waved away the waiting little yellow door, "Uncle Qing, I plan to rectify the court situation after the New Year." ”

Li Qing is not surprised, this is in line with Zhu Zhanji's character, in fact, it is time to rectify the court situation.

"What are you going to do?"

"Reform the system."

"How?"

"Decentralization." Zhu Zhanji said.

Li Qing was surprised, and his brows gradually wrinkled: "Taizu and Taizong have always firmly controlled power, even if they are as kind as your father, they have never delegated power, have you thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out." Zhu Zhanji said, "Taizu started a business, laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and Taizong's second entrepreneurship raised the Ming Dynasty to a new height and built the skeleton of the Ming Dynasty;

They laid a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty, and now, it's time for real development. ”

Zhu Zhanji sighed lightly: "These days, I have been thinking about it day and night, and finally found that only the co-governance of the monarch and the minister is the best policy;

Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty go further, let the prosperous era continue, let the prosperous era no longer belong only to the Ming Dynasty, let it belong to everyone, and let the people also enjoy the prosperity of this prosperous era. ”

Li Qing pondered, as Zhu Zhanji said, the prosperity of Yongle does not have much to do with the people, and the prosperity of Yongle only belongs to the dynasty.

In fact, the people of the Yongle Dynasty did not have a good life!

Taizu established the Ming Dynasty; Taizong went to the West, built canals, conquered Jiaozhi, and cut down Mobei; The people of Renzong moved north and opened the sea to lift the ban.

The three emperors have laid a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty, and now it is time for it to truly flourish.

"If you want to delegate power, you must first be strong," Li Qing said, "We must not let them grow savagely, otherwise the successor will definitely be hollowed out." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "This is natural, I have already thought about the mantra." ”

"Is it ......?"

"Eunuch!"

Li Qing suddenly said: "It's only them." ”

In terms of loyalty alone, there is no doubt that the eunuch's loyalty to the emperor is far better than that of a hundred officials.

Because their power comes from the emperor!

"Have you thought of a specific plan?"

"Not yet." Zhu Zhanji shook his head slightly, "Isn't this the first time to tell you about it, listen to your opinion." ”

Li Qing glanced at him: "Aren't you quite confident?" ”

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Zhu Zhanji's face, "I was conceited before, but now after sitting in this position, I feel more and more that I have a long way to go, and I need to maintain a humble and enterprising heart, and my ability alone is indeed limited." ”

"If you think that way, it's the biggest improvement." Li Qing rarely praised him.

This time, Zhu Zhanji was not complacent, and said with sincerity: "Uncle Qing, my father is gone, and I am also sad, but... Life always has to be lived, right?

People have to look forward, it's okay if you keep your door closed, I need you, Daming needs you, and the people also need you......"

"Alright, give me less top hats." Li Qing glanced at him, "After the year, I will go to court in the morning." ”

You never mentioned it in the early days...... Zhu Zhanji smiled: "That's the best." ”

Li Qing got up and said, "I'll go see your father." ”

"Together."

……

What's there to see?

Except for a coffin, I can't see people at all, just see things and think about people.

But Li Qing still stayed for a long time, and after being buried, he couldn't even see the coffin.

It is said that parting is for a better reunion, but some partings are destined not to meet again.

Until now, Li Qing still hasn't come out of the haze, and often dreams of that cute little chubby dun'er, with a sad face full of big fat dun'er......

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the day of Xiaopang's burial.

The mourning procession was lined up, and the ministers wept bitterly, some sad because the emperor had left, and some because the capital had been moved.

They knew that with the burial of the two emperors, there would be no possibility of moving the capital.

Li Qing helped the coffin all the way to the Xian Mausoleum, and watched the coffin buried in the deep tomb with his own eyes, and he didn't say a word for a long time, as if his heart was also buried in it.

A gust of wind came, and the wind and sand blinded me.

……

The next day, Zhu Zhanji officially ascended the throne.

Era name: Xuande.

The new emperor ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, reduced some taxes for the people, and all civil and military officials also benefited to a greater or lesser extent, all of them were festive, in stark contrast to yesterday's grief.

It was another busy day, Li Qing came home, leaning on the recliner and was too lazy to move.

"Don't be upset, sir." Wan Ling whispered, "There is no feast in the world, you have to learn to adapt." ”

"Mr. is not sad," Li Qing squeezed out a smile and sighed, "It's just...... Loss, regret. ”

Wan Ling comforted: "How can there be no regrets in life? ”

"Yes, there is no regret." Li Qing smiled bitterly and nodded: But I have too many regrets......

"Red Sleeves, I haven't seen her show up in the past two days."

Wan Ling hesitated and said, "Sister Red Sleeves is sick. ”

"Huh?" Li Qing sat up in shock, "When?" ”

Wanling said timidly: "It's not a serious illness, it's just a cold, Sister Red Sleeves said that Mr. is in a bad mood and doesn't want to make trouble." ”

"How is this adding to the chaos?"

Li Qing was a little angry, "What about her?" ”

"In, in the East Wing, hey... Mr. Wait, Concubine......"

East Wing.

There were several charcoal pots burning in the house, and the red sleeves were still covered with two pairs of quilts, his face was pale, and he was accompanied by Lianxiang.

Seeing Li Qing hurriedly coming in with a calm face, Lian Xiang hurriedly got up, and the red sleeves also sat up, "Sir......"

"Lie down." Li Qing stepped forward quickly and said with a slight reproach: "Why don't you say it when you're sick?" ”

Red Sleeves said timidly: "It's just the wind and cold, and the concubine is thinking about finding a doctor to prescribe two pairs of medicines, and it's good to eat." ”

Seeing her like this, Li Qing couldn't bear to be harsh, and said softly: "Can those doctors compare with Mr.?" ”
