The summer is hot, and the afternoon is even hotter, and the donkeys can't stand it, and it's as hot as a dog.

Li Qing was afraid that the heat would spoil it, so he shaved it with a knife, almost didn't scare the donkey into urine, and thought that Li Qing was going to eat it.

However, after shaving, it smells so good.

That smooth and smooth fur, good-looking is good-looking, but it has also brought great trouble to it, and now it is a little ugly, but it is better to be cool.

Anyway, there is no female donkey at home, so what do you care about the image?

"This donkey is really fat, and there is still so much meat after the hair is removed." Zhang sloppy said on the side, looking 'gluttonous'.

The donkey was afraid of him, 'mmmm~ah~' and was about to run away from home.

It's so scary here, it wants to go to Yu Qian's house.

"Be honest." Li Qing knocked on its head and said angrily: "Scare you, if I want to eat you, I would have eaten it a long time ago." ”

The donkey drooped his head aggrievedly, turned his back and pointed his butt against Zhang Sloppy, so angry that the latter's teeth itched.

"Aoko, I want to eat donkeys."

“…… Tomorrow, I'll go to the market to see if there are any donkey meat sellers. Li Qing nodded with a smile, "Master, go to the guest hall to enjoy the coolness, I'll repair the wooden shed, donkeys are afraid of the sun." ”

Zhang sloppily glanced at the donkey, a little angry, so he stepped forward and kicked the donkey's buttocks.

The donkey jumped high and threw itself into Li Qing's arms.

"Go aside." Li Qing turned sideways to avoid it, he couldn't hold such a big object.

Zhang sloppy smiled proudly, "This beast, do you still have a temper?" ”

"Hmm~ah~......!" The donkey kept barking and accused Zhang of sloppy atrocities: He bullied the donkey so much, do you care?

Li Qing: "......"

…

Regular slow-paced life, leisurely and comfortable, Li Qing is in a comfortable mood and leisurely.

However, he doesn't play all day, occasionally go to the court, or go to the yamen to make a card, although he doesn't do any work, he also knows the things in the court.

Shi Heng's uncle and nephew often came to learn martial arts from Li Qing.

Li Qing didn't hide his secrets, there was nothing wrong with the military general's strength being strong, and he formulated a set of courses for his uncle and nephew.

Of course, he didn't teach in vain and charged tuition.

Yu Qian's Mansion.

Li Qing and Yu Qian sat opposite each other, raised their glasses and had a drink, both of them were very relaxed, and the calmness of the court situation soothed their bodies and minds.

"You often go to the East Palace to teach during this time, how is the prince?" Li Qing asked.

"It's good," Yu Qian said with a smile, "The prince is smart, and his learning ability and receptivity are all the best choices." ”

After a pause, "It's just a little ...... Not very talkative. ”

Li Qing nodded lightly and said, "He's still young, you don't have a straight face all day long." ”

"Nothing." Yu Qian smiled and said, "I didn't do that for a long time, when I taught the emperor before, ......"

He smiled and asked, "The Emperor is really determined not to come back?" ”

"At least not for many years to come." Li Qing nodded: "At that time, we talked for a long time, he really didn't want to be an emperor, the world thought it was good to be an emperor, but in fact, being an emperor was quite tiring, and he was hit hard that time." ”

Yu Qian sighed and said, "The Emperor Taishang is still too young, he is too anxious, if he comes steadily, nothing like that will happen." ”

"Don't talk about that, the current Da Ming is also very good!" Li Qing said with a smile, "Now that the situation is calm, the private industry is thriving, and the people can eat enough and work to subsidize their families, isn't it good enough?"

As for the emperor, he is also very good, don't look at his situation with your eyes, Zifei fish, the joy of knowing fish? ”

"That's good." Yu Qian nodded, "I'm not ...... Alas, forget it, what Mr. said is that since it is decided by the emperor, it should be respected. ”

"That's right." Li Qing raised his wine glass with a smile and took a sip, "By the way, is there any new movement in the situation outside the border?" ”

"There are a few." Yu Qian put down his wine glass and said, "Warat launched two wars against Tatars, which are not too big, but they are not small. ”

Li Qing was not surprised by this, "How is the Tatar damaged?" ”

"It's not big." Yu Qian muttered, "The problem is not here, but after Warat attacked the Tatars, he seems to have gone into trouble;

The specific situation is unknown, and it seems that there is infighting among the high-level leaders of Warat. ”

Li Qing frowned: "Is the news confirmed?" ”

Yu Qian shook his head: "It's just a guess." ”

"Hmm... It is estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten. Li Qing muttered, "Warat is a foreigner, not a native of the grassland, in fact, there are not many people in the Waraben tribe, and as it grows, more and more grassland locals join, and civil strife is not uncommon." ”

Li Qing said: "Although there is no etiquette on the grassland, it also pays attention to a bloodline, and Warat is not even a local, let alone a descendant of Genghis Khan;

Before, the Tatars were eyeing each other, they had to unite, but now there is no crisis, and some people are not obedient, it is purely normal! ”

Yu Qian nodded and asked, "Sir, how should we deal with it?"

I'm worried...... It's all in a mess! ”

"Don't worry, at least not at all." Li Qing chuckled, "How can it be so easy and so quick to unify?" Let them fight in the nest first, and then we will fight when they are tired, which can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Yu Qian's eyes moved slightly: "What does Mr. mean...... Gentle means to appease? ”

"That's the only way." Li Qing sighed lightly: "The Hongwu and Yongle dynasties have dealt a big enough blow to the grassland, and it has been proved that it is not possible to rely on force, and it is possible to solve the problem only by using the Huairou strategy." ”

Li Qing said happily: "Finally, one day the inside and outside of the customs will merge with each other, like a family, not only will there be less war, but also the grassland will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yu Qian's heart was pounding, and then he smiled bitterly: "This... Is it possible? ”

"It's hard, but it's not hopeless." Li Qing smiled and said, "Caused by the golden stone, sincerity is open; If one generation can't solve it, it's just two or three generations...... One day, they will throw themselves into the arms of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Sir so confident?" Yu Qian asked with a smile.

"Of course, because they need Daming, and they can't do without Daming." Li Qing smiled, "Just ask, who doesn't want to survive better?" ”

Yu Qian thought so: "They regard looting as a matter of course, and it seems to be brutal and cruel, but in fact, it is ...... It's just to survive. ”

"So it needs to be indoctrinated." Li Qing smiled and said, "Let them fight first, and when they are injured and hurt, Da Ming will make a move." ”

Yu Qian added: "Time can't be delayed for too long, and it is still necessary to prevent them from being unified." ”

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "I promised He Yong to help him go back to his subordinates' families, um... Let's start spring next year, and I'll go for a run when the time comes. ”

"Well, when Mr. is out of the horse, I will be relieved." Yu Qian raised his glass and said, "Mr. has really worked hard in the past two years, so let's have a good rest this year." ”

"Oh? Don't rush me to do things? Li Qing teased.

Yu Qian's face was hot, and he sneered: "How dare Yu Qian?" ”

"Haha......"

The calm and soothing time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, all the fakes brought by Zhang Sloppy were all replaced.

The little old man couldn't be idle, and he didn't worry about the little apprentice, and when he saw that Li Qing was enjoying himself all day long, he went back with the real thing.

However, the little one is not gone, and he has not lived enough.

Li Qing is really idle, and the number of times others ask for sick leave is not as many as the number of times he went to court, and he is not an ordinary salted fish.

But no one impeached him, and those people wished he didn't go to court.

The things Li Qing has done over the years, not to mention the anger of people and gods, have also offended most officials.

Many people scolded him behind his back, and even cursed him with villains, hoping that he would die quickly and stop jumping.

In the current situation, everyone is happy to see it.

Li Qing is very relaxed, teaching his godson to read and read on weekdays, and more to establish the correct three views for him.

In his spare time, he also made some plans for grassland affairs.

Shi Heng's uncle and nephew often brought wine and meat, eating and drinking, and it was also fast.

After the last incident, Shi Heng was completely enlightened, and he was much more low-key and cautious, except for Yu Qian, he basically did not have anything to do with those civil officials in the court.

The relationship between Shi Heng and Yu Qian is very good, firstly, because Yu Qian gave him a lot of credit, and secondly, because Yu Qian is different from traditional civil officials, he has the demeanor of a Confucian general and has a temper towards him.

Moreover, Yu Qian is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is responsible for military dispatch.

…

At the beginning of July, Zhang was sloppy again, and he came again with a fake.

What I didn't say, since I've done it, let's follow through to the end.

So, in the middle of the night, there are always old and young people in black and masked men carrying sacks on the silent street......

Autumn is getting thicker, and the time is coming to August.

What should be replaced was replaced, and the master and apprentice had nothing to do.

The little old man was tired again: "Qingzi, aren't you busy?" ”

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Let's go, let's go back to Jinling with the teacher." Zhang said sloppily, "Have a good Mid-Autumn Festival this year, by the way, there are more people in the family." ”

Li Qing was stunned, and immediately realized that it was the Qian family who was born.

"Boys and girls?"

"Girl." Zhang sloppy smiled, "That grandson's baby is not good, the family is very lively, go back and be lively." ”

In fact, there are basically some Jingshi in Jinling, but Zhang is not used to it, he doesn't like to listen to the theater here, he prefers Jinling.

"Cheng, I'll go say hello to the emperor." Li Qing nodded.

Palace.

Zhu Qiyu was not happy when he learned that Li Qing was going to take a long leave.

I didn't let you rest and didn't work, I didn't let you run...... Zhu Qiyu's face was full of displeasure.

Should I say it or not, Li Qing's behavior is somewhat of a kick in the face.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to the grassland next year." Li Qing briefly told him his thoughts about the grassland.

"This is just a preliminary assumption and needs to be improved." Li Qing said with a smile, "Although I don't work here, I often worry about the government, and I can better improve it when I go there to calm down, right?" ”

"You're just trying to be lazy." Zhu Qiyu teased.

Li Qing said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it's too hurtful for you to say that." ”

"......" Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes, but thinking of Li Qing's hard work in the past two years, Li Qing will have to run around again next year, nodded and said, "Okay, when will you come back?" ”

"Let's celebrate the New Year." Li Qing said.

Zhu Qiyu: "......"
