Chapter 183: Crazy Wool Picking
Tonight, Xiao Li Hong is still with Li Qingsu.
He was a little unhappy, and during the meal, he knew that his godfather was leaving.
"What's the matter, are you reluctant to be a godfather?" Li Qing joked with a smile.
"Hmm." Xiao Li Hong nodded, he didn't feel anything, but the arrival of his godfather in the past few days made him so relaxed and happy.
But it's only been a few days, and his godfather is leaving again, and he feels very uncomfortable.
"Godfather, can you take me to Jingshi?"
"Next time," Li Qing said, "this time it's more urgent, and when I have time later, I'll take you to Jingshi." ”
"Oh~Okay." The little one nodded sheepishly.
If it was three years ago, he would definitely be coquettish or even splattered, but now it's different, he has grown up and is reasonable.
"When is the godfather not busy?" He asked wistfully.
"This ......" Li Qing really didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "In this way, when I finish this busy period, I will come back to pick you up." ”
"Hmm." The little guy got closer, staring at Li Qing with his eyes like mountain grapes.
Li Qing said with a smile: "It's not early, go to sleep." ”
"The child is full of sleep at noon, and he is not sleepy."
"Then I'll tell you a fable." Li Qing said.
"What is a fable?"
"That's it...... A story with an allegorical meaning. ”
The little guy nodded his head wildly, "Okay." ”
……
Before the story was finished, the little one fell asleep, his little hands still clutching his sleeve.
Li Qing suddenly regretted a little, if he hadn't gotten along for a few days, maybe he wouldn't have made him sad if he left, but now......

The next day, Li Qing got up early in the morning and wanted to say goodbye without saying goodbye, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that there should be a formal farewell.
After breakfast, Li Qing told Zhu Qizhen and his family that they could live a good life without worrying about anything.
Zhu Qizhen didn't have any scruples, mainly because of his daughter-in-law, and after getting Zhang Sloppy's promise to heal, he was relieved.
Then, Li Qing told Zhu Yunwen to take care of his body.
Then he played with his godson for a while, and finally said goodbye to his master.
Li Qing took the good horse prepared by Zhu Yunwen, and as soon as he left the mansion, before he had time to ride, the little guy chased out.
"Godfather... Goodbye, godfather. ”
"Goodbye." Li Qing smiled and turned over on his horse.
"Godfather, don't forget to pick me up when you're done!" The little one added.
Li Qing turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll pick you up when I'm done, go back quickly." ”
"Hmm." The little one turned around three times and finally walked back to the door.
Li Qing waved his hand at Zhu Yunwen who came out again, turned his head, and raised his horsewhip.
——
Capital.
The ministers are already in a hurry, there are so many empty official positions in Beijing, and they are all high-level official positions, who doesn't want to be on the throne!
Not only them, but Shi Heng, Yang Hong and other generals were also anxious, but they didn't expect Yu Qian to send a bereavement pension to be so inked.
They still want to add officials to the knighthood, but after a long delay, the credit for relieving the national disaster feels weak.
They don't know the temperament of the new emperor, and the more they drag it back, the more they feel that it is not good for them.
Everyone was anxious, looking at Yu Qian with blank eyes, eager to kick him in the ass so that he could hurry up.
Yu Qian was still slow and unhurried, but in fact, he was also in a hurry.
With so many vacant positions, the ministers did not dare to force the palace strongly, but even if it was Huairou's means, Zhu Qiyu was a little unable to bear it, which made Yu Qian bitter.
In fact, it stands to reason that Zhu Qiyu can completely bear it, but his heart is too empty.
Sometimes Yu Qian really wants to say something rebellious: "What are you afraid of, why don't you dare to fight with them?" ”
But just think about it, that kind of thing Yu Qian can't do.
Fortunately, Li Qing didn't let him wait longer.

The yamen of the military department, the back hall.
Yu Qian looked at Li Qing, who was in the dust, both relieved and guilty.
"Thank you, sir."
"It's okay," Li Qing waved his hand, "Let's get down to business." ”
"Hmm." Yu Qian was concise and to the point, "The main problem is that the maritime merchants, the people's hearts are insufficient, and now they still want to reproduce the 'grand occasion' when the emperor ascended the throne, and they are not satisfied with this, and they also want to pay taxes at all." ”
After a pause, "And about you, sir, they hate you so much that they are afraid that it will be more difficult for them to do it after you are in a high position, so they try their best to prevent you from taking up the position of squire." ”
"Well, how about the generals and nobles?"
"The generals are okay, they are just eager to let the emperor reward him for his meritorious deeds, but the nobles have a bigger heart." Yu Qian said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Qing's eyes, "Expand and talk about it." ”
"It is a matter of course for the son to inherit his father's business and inherit the title, and they feel that their father's martyrdom for the country should be compensated more." Yu Qian said, "On the other hand, they are also catering to civil officials, openly and secretly colluding with civil officials, and making a big fuss about maritime affairs." ”
Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "It is not only the gentry who are represented by civil officials who do maritime trade, but also the noble groups, and they have the same interests. ”
Li Qing sighed: "Sure enough, it's all good, and I still think about it." ”
Yu Qian nodded: "Things are roughly like this, what do you think, sir?" ”
"What does the emperor think of these things?" Li Qing asked.
"The emperor's ......" Yu Qian was helpless, "The emperor is undecided." ”
Li Qing frowned: "This can't be done, how can you be so weak when you are an emperor?" If he doesn't harden himself, he won't be able to harden himself if he wants to be tough in the future. ”
He didn't drink any more tea: "Let's go, let's go into the palace." ”
"Okay." Yu Qian nodded, and then added, "Sir, you dissipate some anger." ”
Yu Qian was afraid that Li Qing would go up and do something contrary to the king.
"Don't worry, I'm not impulsive."

The Imperial Study.
This is where the emperor works, and Zhu Qiyu moved over.
In addition to him, there are also Chen Xun, Gao Yi, and Miao Zhen from the cabinet, who helped sort out the music and put forward suggestions for correction, and the celebrant who was responsible for approving the red became a complete decoration.
After Wang Zhen's death, the celebrant was in charge of the post of eunuch, and there was no new candidate.
Chen Gaomiao and the three of them were lucky, when Zhu Qizhen was personally recruited, they were left as auxiliary ministers, and now they not only picked up a life, but also have a heavier right to speak.
The three of them still work very hard, fighting each other openly and secretly, and they all want to sit in the top position of the cabinet.
However, relatively speaking, they are quite harmonious, and they are not unscrupulous, and they can barely be regarded as healthy competition.
Zhu Qiyu is very diligent, and he has been dealing with the backlog of music during this time, which is extremely efficient, and he has also spent a lot of money.
The Ming Dynasty is so big, there are always places that suffer, especially drought.
Zhu Qiyu is disaster relief and tax cuts, and he spent more than half of the family funds left by his eldest brother.
opened another note, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help frowning, it was another disaster, and it was still Jiangnan.
He was a little suspicious, why did so many places suffer disasters recently?
Zhu Qiyu has seen the governance measures of his eldest brother after he became in power, and it is true that many places suffer disasters every year, but they are far less frequent and so many.
These two months are almost the same as the year when the eldest brother was in power.
Zhu Bi mentioned it again and again, but Zhu Qiyu didn't approve it after all.
Chen Xun observed the words and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, why are you worried?" ”
"There have been a lot of disasters these days!" Zhu Qiyu frowned and said, "Could it be ...... I bow down and be thin, and I don't like it? ”
Without evidence, he didn't want to be suspicious, so he took the blame on himself.
"The emperor doesn't say that." Chen Xun hurriedly stood up, Gao Yi and Miao Xin also got up, and arched their hands: "Since ancient times, three years old and one starvation, six years old and one decline, and twelve years old and one famine; It is not the responsibility of the emperor. ”
The words were high-sounding, but the three of them were furious in their hearts: The people below are too much, it's almost over, it's not like this.
They have a reason to be angry, they haven't even eaten meat yet, but the people below started first, it's a bastard!
Especially now that they are on the rise in their careers, they want to take the opportunity to make waves, and the people below are so ignorant, of course they are unhappy.
Zhu Qiyu smiled casually: "The three Aiqing, please sit down, let's continue to deal with state affairs." ”
As he spoke, he put the letter aside, ready to take the time for Jin Yiwei to check it and see what was going on.
The three of them sat down and sat down again.
As soon as I picked up the song, I heard Xiao Huangmen come in and report: "Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu and Li Du are asking to see you in the matter." ”
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, and then, their scalps were numb.
It can't be that the evil star is back, right?
Before he could speak, he heard Zhu Qiyu say with a smile: "Hurry up!" ”
The three of them turned around, hoping that it was another person surnamed Li who was in the middle of the matter, but unfortunately, Li Qing soon appeared in their field of vision.
Meet their gaze, grinning, snow-white teeth are particularly bright.
