Chapter 27: The Spell
Sun kept crying, but Zhu Qizhen lost patience and left a sentence: "I'm busy." And he walked away.
As soon as he left, Sun stopped crying.
After sitting for a long time, he finally said bitterly: "Zhen'er has changed." β
The girl was extremely embarrassed, and at the same time a little uneasy, and said, "Niangniang, the slave has disgraced you." β
"Forget it, it's not your fault." Sun sighed, "You can step aside, this palace wants to be alone." β
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and withdrew from the hall.
Sun was stunned, although she couldn't accept it, she also understood that her son was far from being under her control, and forcibly intervening would only reap the consequences.
What makes her especially chilling is the ruthlessness of her son.
Sun has the illusion that if she is obsessed, her son will even make a big rebellion.
Her heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and she murmured softly: "That's it, it's okay if you don't interfere in national affairs, but this harem, I have to have the final say in the future;
The old woman doesn't have two years to live, I don't care outside the harem, and no one in the harem wants to fight with me! β

Small courtyard.
Li Qing sat in the shade of a tree, holding "Zizhi Tongjian" in one hand and tea in the other, leisurely.
Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.
Li Qing now realizes more and more the importance of reading history, many of the things recorded in it, even in the Ming Dynasty, have traces to follow, and even, after so many years, it seems that nothing has changed.
Always down the beaten path......
Li Qing couldn't help but think of discussing the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty with Yao Guangxiao in the past.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the dynasties of the past dynasties have not exceeded three hundred years!
In fact, don't say that three hundred years, two hundred years is enough.
The Han Dynasty was in the country for more than 400 years, but it was cut off in the middle, and it could not be regarded as an overall continuation, and the Tang Dynasty was divided into the former Tang and the later Tang, and then the Tang Dynasty's imperial power on the local constraints plummeted, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a unified dynasty.
Then there are the two songs......
The dynasty has not been more than three hundred years, and it is already very polite.
In fact, it was after the previous emperors that the dynasty began to decline.
"Can Da Ming break this spell?" Li Qing is not completely sure, the external contradictions are not terrible, so far, the Ming Dynasty is still the strongest country in the world, there is no one.
But the disintegration of the dynasty is not directly related to whether it is strong or not, because most of the contradictions come from within.
It can be said that if there has been no internal chaos, it will still be Daqin.
Since the six-in-one unification of the Qin Emperor, China has stood on top of the world in the true sense, and external forces cannot destroy it at all.
Li Qing closed the history book and sighed lightly: "In the final analysis, there is still a lack of people's hearts......"
β¦
The peaceful times passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was winter again.
Nearly 10,000 elite soldiers of Xuanfu rushed to Beijing and settled down in Beijing.
The reaction of the civilian clique was not strong, mainly because the ministers who are now guarding the army are all from the civilian clique, and the emperor is not pro-military.
What's more, there is less fighting now.
Under Zhu Di's fierce pursuit and fierce fighting, and Zhu Zhanji's power was differentiated, it was not enough to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty, they were all fighting in the nest, and the Ming Dynasty had very few wars.
In this case, the generals will not be able to stand up at all.
Xungui, on the other hand, has long abandoned his military career, either thinking about doing business and making a fortune, or enjoying the blessings brought to them by his ancestors, and indulging in glory and wealth.
Although he has a knighthood, it is not the same as the Hongwu period and the early Yongle period.
Li Qing wanted to pull Xungui along, but they really didn't fight.
After a long time, people will always be inert.
The current Ming Dynasty is not the era of Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Li Wenzhong, and in this prosperous background, it is difficult to create handsome talents like them.
Li Qing thought about it, and there was only one group.
- Eunuch!

The winter snow in Beiping is endless.
Today, Li Qing's procrastination has been committed again, and under the delay of 'getting up immediately' again and again, he successfully delayed the time of the early dynasty.
After thinking about it, it was delayed anyway, so it was better to sleep again.
So, when I woke up again, it was already midday.
The snow stopped, and the sun exuded a soft halo, but the chill intensified, and the white sky was vast and white, and the view was exceptionally good against the white snow.
"Uh-huh~" Li Qing stretched his limbs, his face full of joy.
After lazy waist, Li Qing picked up the shovel under the eaves and began to shovel snow.
With so much snow, it's a waste not to build a snowman.
Li Qing had a very strong hands-on ability, and it only took a quarter of an hour to gather the snow together, and it took another half an hour to pile up an oversized little fat.
It's the size of three Li Qing, and he was chubby when he was a child.
That simple and cute appearance, Sensei Tiduo was pleased, Li Qing held the shovel with both hands, and his chin rested on the shovel wooden stick, with a kind face.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and then a shrill voice came: "Is Mr. Li at home?" β
Li Qing heard that it was Wang Zhen's voice, and couldn't help frowning slightly: What is this old eunuch doing?
"Here we are."
"Squeak~" Li Qing took off the bolt and opened the door, and Zhu Qizhen was the first thing that caught his eye.
Today's Zhu Qizhen is dressed in a short dress, wearing chain mail, shining in the sun, not yet fifteen years old, but his height is already 170, and he is a heroic teenager.
"You don't have to be formal." Zhu Qizhen smiled, walked into the small courtyard with his hands behind his back, and was attracted by the huge snowman as soon as he entered.
Exclaimed: "What a big snowman, this is... Your son? β
As soon as the words came out, Zhu Qizhen knew that he had guessed wrong, as far as he knew, Li Qing had not yet started a family.
"Who is this?"
"A friend from many years ago." Li Qing said with a smile.
Zhu Qizhen looked around the snowman, and somehow, he had a strong sense of intimacy.
"This kid is very fat."
Li Qing: "......"
"Your Majesty, has this just finished performing martial arts?" Li Qing diverted the topic.
"Ang, the martial arts exercise has just ended." Zhu Qizhen smiled, "I haven't been here with you yet, this yard is quite small." β
"It's good to be small, so you don't look at space." Li Qing smiled, "Let's enter the house." β
Zhu Qizhen was still looking at the snowman, and said with a smile, "This snowman is still weird and beautiful, let's talk here, Wang Zhen, go and move two chairs." β
"The chair is in the living room." Li Qing added.
Wang Zhen agreed, trotted to the guest hall, and quickly set up two chairs.
The two of them sat down, basking in the sun comfortably, and Zhu Qizhen snorted lightly: "Sir, you haven't been to the early court today, and I will deduct your money this time." β
"I'm planning something." Li Qing opened his mouth and came.
Zhu Qizhen didn't doubt him, and suddenly came to his senses, "What is it?" β
After not doing anything for so long, he felt itchy in his hands.
Li Qing glanced at Wang Zhen.
Zhu Qizhen understood, "Wang Zhen, you go outside and watch a little, let the Jinyi guards guard well, and you are not allowed to come in without an edict." β
"Yes." Wang Zhen was full of bitterness and reluctantly withdrew from the courtyard.
"Can you say it now?" Zhu Qizhen couldn't wait to ask.
Li Qing said: "The army can no longer let Wenchen garrison. β
Zhu Qizhen was stunned, "You mean this?" β
After a pause, he said: "The purpose of sending the minister is to supervise the corruption problem in the army, and if it is removed, I am afraid that the corruption problem will become more serious." β
"After sending the stationed minister, has the corruption disappeared?" Li Qing asked.
Zhu Qizhen thought about it and shook his head slowly: "No, but it's a lot better." β
"It's the emperor, you look a lot better, it's not necessarily the case, and it may even get worse." Li Qing said: "Wenchen is meticulous and is best at superficial work, and in the long run, the army will be infiltrated by Wenchen sooner or later. βgΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ΕΞg
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Zhu Qizhen's face became solemn.
"Sir, you mean, abolish the town guard?"
"Pretty much." Li Qing said, "If you are not at ease, you can use eunuchs instead, but it's time to put the army on the agenda." β
Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly: "However, I'm afraid it won't be so easy this time." β
"yes!" Li Qing sighed, "But you have to do it, don't you, if the emperor wants to be a real emperor, it is necessary to consolidate the imperial power." β
After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, how is the British duke?" β
"The fighting is expected to end by the end of the year, and the army will be able to return in February next year." Zhu Qizhen said, "There is really a mess on the Luchuan side, but it is not big, and it is still under control." β
Li Qing nodded slightly, "In this case, let's start, from proposing, to controversy, to settling the dust, it will take several months at the earliest.
And right now, this is just the right time. Li Qing said, "I will eventually see the poor dagger, so it is better to take this opportunity and go all out." β
Zhu Qizhen clenched his fists: "Okay!! β
