East Garden, School Field.

After everything is ready, just wait for the emperor to show up and go through the motions.

Originally, as the emperor, Zhu Qizhen should have come early, ordered troops, and made a generous statement to boost morale.

However, the situation in the court is unstable, and there are not a few people who oppose sending troops, so in order to stop arguing, Zhu Qizhen can only get stuck.

Zhu Qizhen was the first to walk into the school field, and Yang Pu and others were half a beat behind.

Seeing the emperor coming, Zhang Fu knelt on one knee in his robe, clasped his fists with both hands upward, "The minister sees my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Tens of thousands ......of soldiers held spears in their hands and knelt on one knee, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... ”

The armor is bright, and the air is soaring into the sky.

With such an iron-blooded army, anyone who is not excited when they see it, not to mention that Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, not to mention that he is only sixteen years old.

"The generals will be exempt." Zhu Qizhenjun's face was red, and his tone trembled a little because of excitement.

"Emperor Xie, ......!"

The sound of 'bang-la-la-......' armor rubbing was endless, and tens of thousands of soldiers lined up neatly, with momentum like a rainbow.

Zhu Qizhen was agitated, such a king's teacher, how could he be invincible?

Thinking of the personal expedition experience of Taizu, Taizong, and Xuanzong, he was even more full of longing, how magnificent it would be to lead such a large army to gallop on the battlefield.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to say two words to boost morale, but he was unprepared and excited, and he couldn't organize words for a while.

Seeing that the ministers were following up, he had no choice but to be concise and to the point, and said loudly: "After the rebellion is quelled, I will reward the three armies!" ”

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." Zhang Fu thanked him.

"Thank the Emperor for his holy grace ......!" The soldiers spoke in unison.

Zhu Qizhen smiled and raised his chin at Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu understood, turned over on his horse, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers lined up neatly, stepping on the military steps to keep up with the team in an orderly manner, and the dust was billowing on the school grounds.

As soon as the ministers came in, they saw the army set off, and they couldn't do anything if they wanted to add blockage, so they could only watch the army leave, and they also ate a nose of ash in vain, and their faces were extremely ugly.

It's late, it's too late to say anything now.

It can only make things bigger!

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, when the last soldier left the school ground, Zhu Qizhen seemed to have come back to his senses, looking at the back of the army, his heart was surging.

What conspiracy, what situation is disordered, what civilian-bureaucratic clique is powerful...... He didn't care anymore.

As long as such an iron-blooded army can be firmly controlled, how can the world be in chaos?

He felt more and more that Li Qing had a long-term vision, and it was necessary to fight two battles, and it was also the best choice to set things right now.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt that he was not in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he was a little soft-hearted.

The army finally set off, but Zhu Qizhen was not in a hurry to leave, he didn't go, and the ministers couldn't go, so a group of people just stood like this.

After a long time, Zhu Qizhen exhaled a depressed breath, "Drive back to the palace." ”

Yang Pu touched his nose, he was a little embarrassed, when he came, he came by dragon chariot, so his sedan chair did not follow, although Dongyuan was also in the imperial city, but there was a long distance from the palace, he was an old man in his seventies, where did he have the strength to walk back.

Is... Some people face forward, but no one faces backwards...... Yang Pu scolded and cheekily fought a sedan chair with his colleagues.

It's bitter for the sedan chair man who carries the sedan chair......

Li Qing rode a donkey leisurely, and finally, sent out the soldiers.

soldiers, murder weapons; But it is also a sharp weapon for rectifying the dynasty.

At the doorstep.

Li Qing saw from afar that there were brocade guards guarding and a sedan chair, and when this group of people saw him come back, two of them immediately stepped forward and arched their hands: "Lord Li, the emperor will explain and let you enter the palace immediately." ”

"Okay, let me tie my mount home."

The two brocade guards looked weird: Do you call donkeys mounts?

The red people in front of the emperor, they didn't want to offend, and they didn't dare to offend, nodded and said: "Please hurry up, Lord Li, don't make the emperor wait for a long time." ”

"Wait a minute, you two, I'll come when I go."

Li Qing led the donkey home, put some fresh grass in the manger, and then went out to sit in the sedan chair of Jinyiwei and rushed to the palace.

The little emperor had grown a lot, and he was very pleased to know to avoid private summons from his ministers; But the little emperor's 'easy to use can be used by one person' temperament made him dislike it very much.

Anyway, I also learn from Zhu Zhanji, I don't know if I work more and get more, this salary should also rise...... Li Qing sighed helplessly: This little emperor doesn't understand the world at all!

He still works at his own expense, and he wants to receive a salary next year.

Nave.

When Li Qing arrived, the tea was ready, and Zhu Qizhen's attitude was worthy of affirmation, but his attitude was worthless.

"What is the matter with the emperor summoning his ministers?"

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea, and the people who were waiting on the side left consciously.

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Qizhen said: "I have a long talk with Yang Pu today, I have benefited a lot, and I have some doubts and want to ask Mr. for advice." ”

He elaborated on the questions Yang Pu said, and asked, "Does Mr. think what Yang Pu said is true?" ”

"Very pertinent." Li Qing nodded.

"Does that gentleman have a good plan?"

Li Qing did not answer directly, but said: "If the emperor wants to defeat and defeat the ministers once and for all, he will say everything from now on, and the order will be forbidden; There is no good plan for that minister. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Qizhen was stunned, a little unacceptable, "Why?" ”

Li Qing explained seriously: "Actually, Yang Pu has a saying that is very right, the water in this officialdom will never be clear, and it will not be clear. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen was hit hard and said in frustration: "Then aren't we working in vain?" ”

"How can it be in vain?" Li Qing smiled and said, "Isn't it much better now than before?" ”

After a pause, "The minister means that the struggle between the monarch and the minister is not a year or two, nor ten or eight years, it will accompany the emperor for a lifetime, or in other words, he will run through the entire Ming Dynasty;

Therefore, the emperor must be patient, persevering, and determined to fight to the end. ”

Li Qing picked up the teacup, blew off the tea leaves on the water, and took a sip, "It is true that the water in officialdom cannot be cleared, but if you don't fight, it will only become more and more muddy, and eventually it will ...... muddy;

The emperor should have a deep understanding of these years, right? ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded silently, "Five years of orthodoxy, five years of Xuande, the gap is as big as mud. ”

"That's it, the emperor has to fight with them and fight with them, so as to make the water as muddy as possible." Li Qingdao, "Human nature is greedy and never satisfied;

When you are hungry, you want to be full, full of lust; After food and clothing, I want to have money, and when I have money, I want power...... When have you been content? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "He holds great power every day, what if he follows Taizu and severely punishes the law?" ”

Li Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhu Qizhen said, "Sir doesn't believe it, can I do what Taizu did?" ”

"Not really." Li Qingdao, "The officials killed by Taizu can be called the most in history, and in the Hongwu Dynasty, the officials who can return to their hometowns after serving up their terms are like a phoenix;

Mo said that the officials, those founding dignitaries, and even those who were awarded iron coupons to avoid death, committed crimes, didn't Taizu kill them correctly? ”

Li Qing said bitterly: "But what about the result? Is the problem solved?

Even in the face of officials who are skinned and grassy, but can be corrupt and bribed, and do a lot of evil, isn't there an endless stream, do they want to die?

No, it's uncontrollable greed. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed dejectedly and said, "Don't talk about it so far, let's talk about it now!" ”

He asked, "Is there a good plan, sir?" ”

Li Qing smiled: "It's not a good strategy, it's nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth." ”

"Can you be specific?"

"If Luchuan is in chaos, the Beijing army is the leading, and the guards are the main force to suppress it, as for Siam and Burma, it is not a big trouble, but Jiaozhi can contain them"

"Cochin?" Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "Sir, don't you know, Da Ming is almost out of control of Jiaozhi now?" ”

"The ruler of Jiaozhi is the former Han King Zhu Gaoxu, right?"

"It's him."

Li Qing said with a smile: "Isn't this okay, although he was abolished, but in the end, he is the son of Taizong, the emperor repairs a book, knows it with reason, and moves it with affection, I don't think he will refuse." ”

"How is this possible?" Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the first emperor is alive, he won't listen, let alone me, sir, you take it for granted." ”

"No, he will." Li Qing said firmly, "He owes the favor of the first emperor." ”

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Sir, you know a lot!" ”

"Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall." Li Qing's face was not red, and he was not panting, "I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can I not read the history books of the Ming Dynasty, the records of Taizu, Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong, and the ministers study them day and night, why should the emperor be surprised?" ”

After a pause, "In the past, the king of Han rebelled, and the actual record was unknown, and the minister asked Yu Qian and Yu Shilang for verification, so he learned the details inside." ”

"I see." Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly, "But Zhu Gaoxu is a small person, and the possibility of him being willing to help is almost none, so you can't rely on him." ”gòйЪ.ōΓg

Li Qing said: "The left and right are just a matter of letters, and there is nothing to lose, what if?"

Besides, isn't it not messy yet, take this opportunity to say hello to him, if he refuses, we won't be in a hurry, right? ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed: "Then what about the north according to what Mr. said?" ”

"The north..."Li Qing pondered for a long time before he said: "The grassland is controlled by Wara, and my Ming Dynasty has a strong city and artillery, so they can't attack it." ”

"Why don't we take the initiative?" Zhu Qizhen said, "Taizu beat them away, Taizong beat them away, Xuanzong personally conquered, and everywhere he went, it was like entering a no-man's land......"

Li Qing's face changed greatly: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”
