Zhu Gaoxu's body and bones are really good, and he has served a glass of wine, but there is no sign of drunkenness, except for blushing.

"Drink and drink." Zhu Gaoxu tried hard to persuade the wine, "It's not easy to come here, I have to do the friendship of the landlord, and I won't finish it if I don't get drunk." ”

Li Qing raised his glass and touched him, and asked, "What is the situation here...... Can you control the big picture? ”

"You really look down on me." Zhu Gaoxu didn't have a good breath, "Jiaozhi is also a big country, with a population of seven million, so I will come to the house." ”

"And how much can you control?"

"About a third." Zhu Gaoxu tilted his neck and poured the wine into his mouth, smacked his mouth, and put down the cup, "But on the surface, the other two forces are still relatively restrained, and they don't dare to attack my idea." ”

Li Qing frowned, "If you help the imperial court contain Siam and Burma, will they take the opportunity to do something to you?" ”

"It's unlikely." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, "I've not been a fool all these years, I want people, money, and money, and they don't have the courage to make a move on me." ”

After a pause, "Besides, I'm not stupid, I won't do anything about sacrificing myself for others, and I will definitely help Da Ming on the premise of ensuring myself." ”

"That's good." Li Qing nodded, and said: "Daming, don't think about it, there is no such possibility, but there is still this possibility to become the soil emperor of Jiaozhi." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Are you willing to help me?" ”

"Hmm."

"Why?"

Li Qing thought for a while, "Let's just look at the golden beans in the past." ”

"Come less, would you be so kind?" Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "I have a straight brain, just say anything, I will do it if I can, if I can't forget it." ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Nacheng, I'll be honest with you." ”

"Cochin is the supply point of the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade, and the reason why you were asked to come here in the first place was to prepare for your group to control here." Li Qingdao, "Civil officials are unreliable, with the change of imperial power, it is inevitable that the emperor's power will go downhill, I am worried that over time, the Ming Dynasty will completely lose Jiaozhi; That's why I plead with Zhu Zhanji for you. ”

"I knew you weren't just kind." Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "You want my army to stay here and provide convenience for the Ming Dynasty's Western trade, right?" “

"Hmm." Li Qingdao said, "This is also good for you, not only can you become the king of Jiaozhi, but you can also rely on the Ming Dynasty to make money from Western trade, why not?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it for a while and asked, "But will the little emperor agree?" ”

"Yes, this is also a good thing for Daming." Li Qing nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him, "Seeing that your grade is only seventh, the little emperor obviously doesn't know your identity, how useful can you be?" ”

"If I can't make a big difference, how can I come to you on behalf of the court?" Li Qing asked rhetorically.

"Uh... Also. Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "It's very simple, first, help Daming contain Siam and Burma; Second, pay tribute to the little emperor. ”

"Bow to him?" Zhu Gaoxu got up open-mindedly, "Is he worthy?" ”

"Look at you, don't get excited." Li Qing said with relief, "It's just a matter of one sentence, and you don't lose anything, if you can't pull your face, you can let your son get it;

It's just a name, but in exchange for substantial benefits, you won't be incomprehensible about this account, right? Li Qing asked, "Besides, even if you are still the king of the Ming Dynasty, don't you want to be a minister?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was silent.

He is not smart, but he is not stupid, if he has the support of the Ming Dynasty, he can definitely unify Jiaozhi in the true sense and become a veritable king.

The benefits are real.

If you can't become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it's not bad to be the king of Jiaozhi...... Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Cheng, it's done!"

I have one condition, though. ”

"You say."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "The Ming court can't interfere with me, and it can't send people anymore." ”

"It's nature." Li Qing nodded, "At that time, everything here will be up to you." ”

"Can the little emperor really agree?" Zhu Gaoxu felt a little incredulous.

"Do you believe me?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, nodded and said, "Believe." ”

"Then it's done, after the Luchuan rebellion is put down, you order someone to pay tribute, and hand it over to me over there." Li Qing said.

"Cheng, let's continue." Zhu Gaoxu said boldly, "Come, let's drink." ”

…

Li Qing stayed in Jiaozhi for five days, and Zhu Gaoxu took him to play in a fun place within a radius of 100 miles.

After eating and drinking, Li Qing carried another bag of golden beans, and then embarked on the return journey.

At the time of parting, Zhu Gaoxu felt a rare sadness, "Sir, if you leave, I'm afraid you won't see each other for a long time, and you won't even be able to see each other again in your lifetime." ”

"I'll come to see you when I have time in the future." Li Qing patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of your body." ”

"Take care."

Li Qing turned over and began to rush back.

He really didn't come close to this trip, and he went abroad.

In this era of underdeveloped transportation, it is almost inconceivable for ordinary people.

Li Qing pretended to be pretending to be preoccupied, galloping all the way, day and night, and couldn't even take care of eating and sleeping.

Nothing else, just afraid of the little emperor's personal conquest.

Although it was unlikely, he was afraid in his heart.

Hurried all the way, and when I rushed back to Beijing, it was already winter.

At the beginning of November, it was already snowing in Kyoshi.

Li Qing's family didn't go back, and went directly into the palace.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen sitting steadily in the palace, Li Qing's heart finally put it in his stomach.

It's good that what I was worried about didn't happen.

I have to say that Zhu Qizhen knows what to do, takes the overall situation into account, and is willing to listen to persuasion...... These qualities are still worthy of recognition, and Li Qing has greatly improved his senses.

Li Qing was tired all the way, and when he saw that the little emperor was safe and sound, he was no longer nervous.

"Your Majesty, the former Han King Zhu Gaoxu has agreed to help." Li Qingdao, "For specific details, Rong Chen will report it again on another day, this journey is really tiring." ”

Zhu Qizhen had a thousand words in his heart, but seeing that Li Qing was really tired, he had to nod: "Okay, Mr. go back and have a good rest first." ”

He originally thought that Li Qing would only be able to come back after the New Year, but this time it was two or three months ahead of schedule, and it was difficult to imagine.

As soon as Li Qing left the palace, he went straight to Yu Qian's house.

After a few months, the donkey grew taller again, and its fur became brighter and brighter, as if it had been baked with oil, which was particularly gratifying.

"Brother Donkey, long time no see!" Li Qing stroked its head, his face full of joy.

"Hmm~ah~" The donkey arched his palm, as if rejoicing.

"Hehe......" Li Qing patted it, turned back to Yu Qian and said, "It's hard work, I'll go back to sleep first, and I'll invite you to drink another day." ”

Yu Qian smiled: "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning; By the way, sir, ...... over there? ”

"That's it."

"That's good." Yu Qian was overjoyed and urged, "Sir, go and rest, the situation has not escalated, you can rest assured, tomorrow I will finish the matter at hand, and then I will tell you the details." ”

"yes, okay." Li Qing rode home on a donkey.

He was really tired, and in the past few months, except for a few days of eating, drinking, and having fun at Zhu Gaoxu's place, he was in a hurry for the rest of the time.

He almost never ate or slept, and even if he didn't eat or drink and didn't affect his physical functions, he was super uncomfortable and in a very poor state.

As soon as he touched the bed, he fell asleep.

Li Qing slept for twelve hours in one breath, from morning to noon on the next day.

"Hmm~Hmph~" Li Qing groaned comfortably, turned over, saw the heavy snow outside through the gap in the window, and muttered, "Let's sleep a little longer." ”

'Gollum ......! Li Qing wanted to sleep again, but his stomach kept protesting, in fact, his stomach had been protesting for a long time.

"Forget it, let's get up."

Li Qing sat up, stretched his limbs, and the bones crackled all over his body.

"It's a pity not to have a hot pot on this snowy day." Li Qing opened the door, washed up, and took out the forage to feed the donkey.

"Brother Donkey, eat quickly, and accompany me to the market later." Li Qing was really hungry, looking at the donkey, he couldn't help but think of the fire in his mind.

When the donkey saw that his eyes were glowing green, he couldn't help but shiver, so he simply didn't eat it, and took the initiative to lie down and let Li Qing ride, for fear that Li Qing would have any special ideas.

'Bell bell bell ......! There was a knock on the door, followed by a shrill voice, "Is Master Li at home?" ”

"Here we are." Li Qing clapped his hands, walked to the door and opened the door, only to see Zhu Qizhen looking at himself with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
