Li Qing stared at Wang Zhen in surprise, but he really didn't expect this big eunuch to help him speak.

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he smiled and said, "It's a lot of heart." ”

After a pause, "But Mr. is really poor these days, not to mention anything else, there must be a person who does laundry and cooking?" I reward you ......"

"The minister is used to it alone." Li Qing declined.

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Mr. hasn't married a wife yet, has he?" ”

"I don't have this plan for the time being," Li Qing waved his hand, "The situation is unstable, so I don't dare to be distracted." ”

Zhu Qizhen's heart warmed, and he smiled happily: "Well, when the situation is stable in the future, I will reward you with ten great beauties." ”

"Then thank the emperor in advance." Li Qing joked.

Zhu Qizhen Yile, "You have no jokes, you will be indispensable when the time comes;

Wang Zhen, go get busy. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Wang Zhen was a little jealous, the little emperor's heart was not with him after all.

After Wang Zhen left, Zhu Qizhen retreated left and right, and then asked:

"Sir, what do you think the Queen Mother means by this?"

Li Qing said bluntly, "She wants to emulate the Empress Dowager and meddle in government affairs." ”

Zhu Qizhen also thought so, but he didn't expect Li Qing to be so frank and direct.

"You mean she's shackling you?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Li Qing said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you can't see it?" ”

Zhu Qizhen's face was hot, and he pointed out: "Mr. is really very human, and he can do the same to my mother...... Outspoken. ”

Li Qing rolled his eyes, he really didn't like this little guy.

It's not as good as his father.

Zhu Zhanji is still half an apprentice, and the two of them can urinate into a pot, but this little guy... wanted to use him again, but often tested him, Li Qing was really speechless.

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people." Li Qing said bluntly, "If the emperor can trust me, don't bother to tempt me, if you can't believe it, just let me go." ”

"Uh-huh...... Sir misunderstood, how could I not trust him. Zhu Qizhen's little face was full of embarrassment.

Li Qing saw through his careful thoughts at a glance.

The court battle is enough to drain his mind, and Li Qing is really in no mood to act with him.

Seeing that Li Qing was unhappy, Zhu Qizhen finally relented, "Not in the future." ”

"Then thank the emperor for his trust." Li Qing nodded.

The little guy is not without advantages, such as knowing what is good and what is wrong and listening to persuasion.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Sir, I have something to discuss with you." ”

He sighed, "The British public has sent a letter. ”

Li Qing's heart moved, and he asked, "How is the battle situation?" ”

"The Ming army has the advantage, but the enemy resists extremely strongly." Zhu Qizhen frowned, "Zhang Fu said that the other party has tasted the sweetness of grabbing the Ming merchant ships, and he refuses to give up easily, and fighting in unfamiliar terrain is also a great test for the Ming army, and the combat power cannot be fully exerted." ”

"Has the British asked for help?" Li Qing asked.

"Not really." Zhu Qizhen shook his head.

Li Qing put his mind at ease, "That means it's okay, the Ming army has gone all the way to fight in an unfamiliar environment, and it is normal for the combat power to be discounted, just wait for it to get used to it." ”

After a pause, "The emperor can support some materials and improve the quality of life of the soldiers, they work the battlefield to make people eat well." ”

"Cheng, I'll talk to Yu Qian when I go back." Zhu Qizhen nodded in agreement, and then said: "After the abolition of the guarantee system, the strength of the civilian clique has been greatly damaged, should we attack the army?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Qing shook his head and said, "As the saying goes: Xiucai can't rebel for three years, but the army is different, and the army only needs a big mutiny if it wants to change the day." ”

Seeing the little guy's ugly face, Li Qing's tone eased and comforted: "Of course, what I'm talking about is the worst-case scenario, there is a high probability that it will not happen, but if it really forces those generals, it is still possible;

The corruption of the army is not a day or two, and even began during the reign of the first emperor, which is something that cannot be helped;

With the cessation of the fighting, the combat strength of the army will decline, and it is inevitable that military discipline will be slackened. Li Qingzheng said, "The rectification of the army must be moderate, and it cannot be forced." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded lightly: "What Mr. said is that you really can't be in a hurry." ”

After a pause, "So what do we do next?" ”

Li Qing thought for a while and said: "The Beijing army has been withdrawn so much, the emperor can use the name of consolidating the Beijing division to transfer some troops back from the border pass, and train the troops in his spare time, so as to show goodwill to the army." ”

"Hmm... That's a good idea. Zhu Qizhen happily accepted, "Ming'er I will start to transfer troops. ”

Li Qing was a little helpless, but the little emperor was still anxious.

This is also normal, after all, he is only fourteen years old, and he has been suppressed for too long, so it is not surprising to have this mentality.

It is too unrealistic to ask a high-spirited young man to be serious, it is very good that the little emperor is willing to listen to the persuasion, and Li Qing is not good at hitting him repeatedly.

"Don't draw too much at the beginning, 18,000 people are enough, try and test first, and then move on to the next step when you see the situation clearly and have experience." Li Qing said.

"That's nature." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Sir, where do you think it is appropriate to start with the transfer?" ”

Li Qing scratched his head, "I'm really not sure about this, the emperor still has to consult with Yu Qian, he has been a squire in the military department for so many years, and he knows much more about the army than me." ”

"Well, that's fine." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but think of his father's words in the past: This is the only person in the world who doesn't love power, and even disdains power, he has ambitions and no ambitions!

Such a good opportunity, he actually pushed it out like this...... Zhu Qizhen was impressed, and at the same time, he was also a little puzzled, how did his father know?

"How old is sir?" Zhu Qizhen asked suddenly.

"How old?" Li Qing's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something, so he said, "Twenty-eight." ”

Zhu Qizhen was surprised: "Mr. is so old? ”

Then, he was relieved again, after all, the painting was painted by his father before his death, and his age was just right.

"Sir is so young."

"Really?"

"Well, I look like I'm twenty years old." Zhu Qizhen asked, "Sir, has you seen the first emperor?" ”

"Not really." Li Qing shook his head.

"Have you ever been to Jingshi?"

"I came here eight years ago." Li Qing nodded, "By the way, I met a person named Zhu Ji at that time, who was very talented and had the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes......"

Balabala......

Li Qing sighed: "We chatted for a long time, and he also said that when I came to Jingshi, he would give me a big gift, but I have been here for so long, but I have never seen him;

Your Majesty, can you ask Jinyiwei to help me find this person, he seems to be a local. ”

Zhu Qizhen suddenly brightened, everything made sense.

Zhu Qizhen sighed: "Sir, do you know who Zhu Ji is?" ”

"Isn't it... Vassal king? ”

"No, it's the First Emperor." Zhu Qizhen said, "What you met was the first emperor of Weifu's private visit. ”

"Huh?" Li Qing was shocked, then relieved, and sighed, "No wonder, only the first emperor can be so talented." ”

"yes." Zhu Qizhen was a little sentimental, he walked out of the hall, looked up at the sky, and after a long time, he turned back to Li Qing who followed him and said, "The great gift given to you by the first emperor is my unconditional trust." ”

Zhu Qizhen said seriously: "I will not test Mr. again in the future, but if Mr. has any ideas, he should also explain it clearly to me, so as not to have a misunderstanding between our monarchs and ministers." ”

"It should." Li Qing agreed.

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "It's not early, Mr. go back and rest." ”

Then, he added: "Now that the limelight of abolishing the guarantee system has passed, Mr. should often come to the court, there are too many people who impeach you for not going to the court, and I also want you to come to the court." ”

Li Qing sighed and nodded in agreement.

~

Out of the palace, Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally fixed the bug left by Zhu Zhanji.

The Empress Dowager Zhang's old age is serious, and she will never tell her grandson that he can live forever, and let the eldest grandson embark on the road of no return to cultivating immortals.

Li Qing was worried that the little emperor himself could see the clues, after all, he had the same name and surname, and he would inevitably think of anything in the future.

But after today's outing, his identity is completely 'legalized', and he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.

The temptation of Changsheng to the emperor is too great, and Li Qing can't guarantee that this little guy will be as free and easy as his father in the future.

He didn't want to, Daming sent out an 'old Taoist' in advance.
