After finalizing the matter of welcoming Zhu Qizhen, Li Qing talked about the three major battalions in detail.

In a word: the three battalions must not be reorganized, let alone the ten regiments and battalions, and the five regiments and battalions will not be successful.

Zhu Qiyu was not firm in his idea of forming the 10th Regiment Battalion, and his main concern was that after Wang Ji's group returned, the situation would be unfavorable to him.

"Wang Ji, how do they arrange it?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a frown.

Li Qing said: "This is very simple, and the reward for meritorious deeds is." ”

Seeing Zhu Qiyu's face full of worry, Li Qing smiled and said: "In the past, Taizong was in trouble, and the old ministers of Jianwen did not continue to be the ministers of the Ming Dynasty with the same cheekiness, but now the emperor is not afraid?"

Taizong is Jingjing, and the emperor is you to take the throne, there is an essential difference between the two, and it is still the ministers of the court and the central government who support you to take the throne, Wang Ji They will not have different intentions, and there is no reason to have different intentions. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed: "I hope it is as Mr. said." ”

After a pause, "Yu Qianju has made great contributions, or... Give him a marquis, right? ”

Li Qing smiled: "It's all up to the emperor." ”

In fact, he didn't want Yu Qian to be a marquis psychologically, he already had a Wang Ji, and then Yu Qian, which undoubtedly gave a signal to civil officials.

- Civilian officials can also establish military merits, and they can also be knighted as marquis.

With this signal, they will be more enthusiastic about civilian military leadership.

It's not a good thing after all.

But with Yu Qian's merits, it is not too much to make a marquis, and Li Qing has no reason to object.

Then, the two of them discussed the issue of treasure banknotes, and after finalizing the exchange time, Li Qing said goodbye and left.

Lianjiatun'er.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Qing heard the donkey barking wildly, as if he was scared and seemed to be warning.

Li Qing was shocked: A thief is coming?

In this broad daylight, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who will steal my small family...... Li Qing hurriedly took out the key to unlock it and pushed the door.

'Bang! The door was pushed open with great force, startling the people in the courtyard.

Li Qing couldn't help but be surprised: "You? How did you get in here? ”

"I, I'm ......" Zhen'er's little face was slightly red, and she bowed embarrassedly, "The maid has seen Master Li." ”

Li Qing glanced at her, saw a large trace of dust on her dress, and said in surprise: "Jumped over the courtyard wall and came in?" ”

“…… Well. ”

"It's not...... Why are you jumping over the courtyard wall in broad daylight? Li Qing was puzzled, "Also, what do you mean by covering your face?" ”

"It's... It's a long story, don't be impatient, and the servant will explain it to you. Zhen'er said with a red face.

Li Qing is not in a hurry, what else can a little woman do?

"It's cold outside, let's go inside."

In fact, it was cold in the house, Li Qing did not have the habit of burning charcoal basins, and it was not yet spring, and the weather was very cold.

"It was the Queen Mother who asked her maid to come." As soon as Zhen'er sat down, she hurriedly explained, "It's for the prince." ”

"Don't rush, speak slowly." Li Qing poured a cup of tea, pushed it to her, poured another cup for herself, and took a sip, "I'm not your master, you don't have to be called a servant." ”

"Ah, yes." Zhen'er picked up the tea and warmed her hands, and said, "The Queen Mother is afraid that the emperor will be unfavorable to the prince, and wants to ask the adults to help cover it." ”

As he spoke, he put down the teacup, took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it over: "This is the mother's intention." ”

Li Qing took it and counted it, five thousand taels!

That's a lot.

Li Qing put it in his pocket, nodded and said, "Go back and tell the Queen Mother, I will cover up, is there anything else?" ”

You're too perfunctory, five thousand taels will be exchanged for one sentence for you...... Zhen'er didn't dare to say it, and sneered: "Are you sure?" ”

Li Qing frowned, took out the silver ticket and returned it to Zhen'er, "If you don't believe it, then take it back." ”

"......" Zhen'er dared to answer, and waved her hand again and again: "No, no, the little woman didn't mean to question the adult." ”

"And what do you mean?" Li Qing didn't like it.

Zhen'er renegated no, and hurriedly said some good words.

"Don't take it as an example." Li Qing withdrew the silver ticket with a dark face. gōΠb.ōγg

"Anything else?"

"......" Zhen'er was a little afraid of Li Qing, but thinking that Sun's explanation had not yet been conveyed, she had to continue: "Soon we will welcome back the emperor, and the queen mother wants to let the adults go." ”

Li Qing smiled: "This is another price." ”

“…… How much do adults want? Zhen'er is also convinced, she is the first time she has seen an official who blatantly asks for money, and the object is still the queen mother.

Now she's kind of an eye-opener.

However, as soon as she passed the word, it was not her who paid for it, and she just completed the task, so she didn't need to feel distressed.

"I don't want much." Li Qing has a face of 'the price is fair, and Tong Su is not bullied', "The emperor is bigger than the prince, so he ......"

"More than five thousand taels?"

"Miss Zhen'er is really good." Li Qing smiled and nodded.

Zhen'er was speechless: You said it was so obvious, even a fool could guess it.

"What the adults mean, the little woman will truthfully tell the Queen Mother." Zhen'er nodded and asked uneasily: "The emperor didn't ...... the crown prince Thoughts, right? ”

Look at the ...... that makes you nervous Li Qing was a little funny: "Don't worry, I'll take the money to do things." ”

"Yes." Zhen'er smiled with her, and said, "By the way, the Queen Mother still has something to trouble your lord." ”

"No problem, as long as the money is in place, it's not a problem." Li Qingdao.

Zhen'er resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said, "This time it's a trivial matter, the Queen Mother wants to ask the adult about the Empress Taishang, isn't the adult the Empress Taishang's doctor?" ”

Li Qing was stunned, he didn't expect that the Sun family would be interested in the Qian family.

The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really not very good, especially after Zhou Guifei gave birth to a dragon son, the Sun family did not wait to see the Qian family, Li Qingshi did not expect that she would ask about the Qian family.

"This... I also just came back, and I'll go to Qianfu tomorrow and inquire by the way. Li Qing said.

"Then it's troublesome." Zhen'er smiled and said, "I have to trouble my lord." ”

That's a lot...... Li Qing said speechlessly: "What? ”

"Please help the Queen Mother bring a message to the Empress Taishang," Zhen'er cleared her throat and said, "After your body is well raised, you will move to Nangong to live temporarily." ”

Li Qing was stunned and nodded slowly.

Sun is a mother in the end, although she has a lot of trouble with her son, and even a feud, she ...... After all, she still feels sorry for her son.

However, this involves another problem, and the Qian family is not in the Qian Mansion.

It's a real headache.

Li Qing scratched her head, and saw that Zhen'er was sitting steadily, and she didn't mean to get up and leave at all, so she said impatiently:

"Anything else?"

"No, no." Zhen'er shook her head.

"Then you're not leaving?" Li Qing was in a bad mood, and his tone was not good.

Zhen'er was embarrassed: "The Queen Mother said, let me avoid some people, and I'll go back when it's dark." ”

“…… This is the end of the hour, and you will stay until dark? Li Qing said impatiently, "Let's go, hurry up, I don't care about food here." ”

"I can do without it." Zhen'er cried and said with a sad face, "I can't help myself, so you can forgive me!"

The Queen Mother gave a strict order, otherwise I wouldn't have covered my face again and jumped over the wall again; If I go back in broad daylight, the Queen Mother will know that she will punish me,

Please. ”

After a pause, "Besides, if you let the factory guard take a look and tell the emperor, it won't be good for the adults, after all, I am the prince of the East Palace." ”

Li Qing teased: "It's quite slippery, no wonder you can mix well, even someone as difficult to serve as the Queen Mother can regard you as a confidant." ”

Zhen'er's heart was sour, and she said softly: "I just want to live well." ”

"Forget it, let's go to the East Kitchen." Li Qing waved his hand, "There's firewood in there, if it's cold, burn the fire to keep warm, and I'll make up for it." ”

It is not easy for the slaves and maids in the palace, especially the palace maids, Li Qing has no grievances with Zhen'er, and she can't be embarrassed for her.

…

At noon, Li Qing woke up, went to feed the donkey, and then sat under the eaves, took a copy of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and read it.

This is the closest thing to posterity, and one of the few forms of entertainment.

Zhen'er is also well-behaved, and she hasn't bothered Li Qing, of course, it may also be afraid of the cold, because it is snowing again.

It wasn't until dusk that she walked out of the east kitchen, took out a grain of broken silver and put it on the table, and said embarrassedly:

"The firewood is finished."

"Well, it's snowing a lot and it's getting dark, so you can go." Li Qing said without raising his eyelids.

"Excuse me." Zhen'er bowed slightly and walked out.

After taking two steps, he turned his head and said seriously: "The prince is the prince, this is related to the Ming Dynasty...... Help. ”

"I know." Li Qing flipped a page of the book, "While it's still hot on your body, go back quickly." ”

"Yes, the little woman is leaving."
