Li Qing was stunned and sighed: "Your Majesty, listen to me." ”

"You listen to me." Zhu Qiyu interrupted, "You are the Marquis of Yongqing, even if you don't do this, with your contribution to the Ming Dynasty, you can be crowned a prince, or even go further, and the king will be responsible;

I only give you the title of marquis, not because I am stingy, but because I don't want to expose Mr.'s secrets. ”

Li Qing was helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, this plan is somewhat ... I can't get on the stage, you give me the title of marquis with great fanfare, and spread it out so that Wara knows, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Hmm... It also makes sense. Zhu Qiyu thought about it, and said, "This matter is indeed not good to spread on the table, so start from other directions." ”

"......" Li Qing didn't want to do anything about Yongqing Marquis anymore, for him, his identity was no longer important, as long as he got trust from the emperor, and after becoming Yongqing Marquis again, it was not convenient for him to act.

"For another reward." Li Qingdao said, "For example, if I take a vacation for a while, I am really tired after such a long journey." ”

"No, don't change it, that's it." Zhu Qiyu said, "It's decided, if Mr. feels tired, just rest." ”

This kid is quite stubborn...... Li Qing raised his forehead and said with a smile: "I don't lack food and drink now, the marquis is useless to me, it's just a vain appearance." ”

"This is sir's, I am just returning things to their original owners." Zhu Qiyu said, "I have made up my mind, don't persuade Mr. again." ”

“…… I prefer gold to a marquis. Li Qing said.

Zhu Qiyu sighed secretly: Mr. is really selfless, how can I let him be wronged?

"Just the Marquis!"

“……”

persuaded for a while, but Zhu Qiyu did not let go, he was more stubborn than the donkeys at home, so that Li Qing did not have the slightest temper.

~

Back home.

Li Qing was about to take a shower and relax, so Zhen'er hurried over.

"My lord, didn't the Emperor come back with you?" Zhen'a asked.

"I've said everything I need to say, and my mouth is about to wear out, but the emperor just doesn't want to come back." Li Qing looked helpless and sighed, "He said that he is living a good life now, and he doesn't want to come back to break the existing pattern of Daming." ”

As he spoke, Li Qing took out the letter from his arms, "This is the letter from the Emperor Taishang, which was originally going to be handed over to the emperor first, but I forgot it when I was busy, you can take it back and hand it over to the Queen Mother." ”

After a pause, he added: "By the way, please also tell the Queen Mother, and after reading the letter, the letter will be forwarded to the emperor." ”

Zhen'er took the letter, glanced at Li Qing and wanted to stop talking, but after all, she didn't say anything, and turned around to leave with a slight bow.

The 200 taels of gold won't go back, right? Li Qingxin said: No matter what, if you eat the meat in your mouth, how can you spit it out, and you don't want to give it.

——

"What, Li Qing is going to be made a marquis?"

"He is a little bit of a thing, how can he be?"

"Still Yongqinghou? If you call Li Qing, you deserve to be named the Marquis of Yongqing? I also have the surname Li, and I also changed my name to Li Qing. ”

……

Doubts filled the entire court situation, Li Qing was the marquis, and no one was convinced.

The reason is that Li Qing is too hateful, but if they change someone to become a marquis, they will never be so out of shape.

Since Li Qing entered the court, the civil official group began to go downhill, and every time it went downhill, there must be traces of Li Qing, all of whom were human spirits, although some places were not clear, but they could still see the initiators.

- Li Qing Fenghou, the sky thunders!

This is the voice of some officials, of course, their proportion is not large, after all, a group of them were wiped out by Zhu Qizhen's regiment.

Most of the rest of the doubters questioned Li Qinggong's unworthiness and merit, but he would not be crowned a marquis.

Public opinion was quickly heated up, and then intensified.

But not everyone is against it, such as Yu Qian, such as Shi Heng and Shi Biao, these people are all openly supportive.

Yu Qian knew Li Qing's identity, and Shi Heng's uncle and nephew recognized his ability.

But only the three of them supported it, and the others were more or less opposed to Li Qingfeng's marquis, feeling a little inexplicable.

It was too abrupt, and without a hint, he flew directly from Qipin to the Marquis, and such a large promotion made many people jealous.

This is a marquis!

And looking at the emperor like this, eighty percent is still a lord!

This is a proper long-term meal ticket, and the children and grandchildren are with the Ming Dynasty, if they can get this honor, they are willing to die on the spot.

Li Qing didn't have to explain anything, the emperor insisted on sealing it, just accept it, and he should save a family fund for his godson.

As for the ...... who scolded him, scolded him a lot, starting from the Hongwu Dynasty, after so many years, Li Qing's ears were calloused.

What if you're not happy? It's not that you can't kill him!

Li Qing heard those rumors from Yu Qian's mouth, and he just sneered and didn't care.

I didn't even bother to come forward to clarify, some clowns who jumped off the beam, and they didn't care about them, except for lowering their own qualifications, they didn't have any use.

He doesn't care, but someone does.

Yu Qian cares, Zhu Qiyu cares, Shi Heng's uncle and nephew also care, there is no less ruffle in the court, and he often talks about his face and thick neck.

On the contrary, it is Li Qing, the client, who is leisurely and comfortable all day long, and rarely even goes out of the house.

He didn't even open the door, he was afraid that the Sun family would ask him to pay him back.

Li Qing didn't come out of his sophomore year, and he didn't step out of the second door, as if he was a lady.

The ministers really can't do anything about him, after all, no one dares to come to the door to theorize.

After grinding for more than half a month, Zhu Qiyu tried his best to disagree with the public and gave Li Qing the title of Marquis, Marquis of Yongqing!

Receiving this title again, Li Qing was not happy, but he was quite embarrassed.

I remember that the last time I was awarded the title of Marquis of Yongqing, I still didn't spend with the fourth brother to surrender to Nai'er, and after I came back, I was given the title by Lao Zhu, and it has been so long in a flash.

The kings of the Ming Dynasty have all changed to five, and the old people who are familiar with each other in the Hongwu Dynasty have all passed away, so what can the marquis not care about.

Nowadays, the people of the Hongwu period, Zhu Gaoxu, who is far away, is still alive.

Alas, I don't know what happened to that guy now, but stupid people have stupid blessings, that guy has a bad brain, but he has no bones, and he should be able to carry it for some years...... Li Qing sighed.

On the second day of the feudal marquis, he went to court and lined up directly from the end to the first echelon.

Li Qing glanced at everyone, wanting to see who dared to say it in front of him, but there was none.

It's not pleasant to give Li Qing in person, the cost to pay is too great, and there will even be danger to life, it is not easy to sneak into the court, who has to weigh it?

The court is submissive, and the heavy punches are behind the scenes, which is the way of most people to be officials.

It is also called "demeanor": this is called demeanor!

After a court meeting, the doubts were much quieter, anyway, it had become an established fact, and they would not be guilty of doing useless work again, and offended Li Qing in vain.

Everyone continued to go about their jobs, and the calm situation returned to calm after a period of passion.

No one even mentioned the matter of the emperor.

Li Qing doesn't go to court again, this is his norm, but he often goes to the palace and chats with Zhu Qiyu about grassland matters.

The officialdom is basically stable, the private trade is in full swing, and Li Qing also has the energy to prepare for the expansion of the territory.

Li Qing is very attentive, and Zhu Qiyu is also very attentive.

September.

At Li Qing's suggestion, one-third of Warat's trade goods were settled by firearms.

Zhu Qiyu agreed with his suggestion, used some firearms, bought some goods in Wara, and tried the water first.

And Boyan Timur did not disappoint the two, and in the winter of the second year of Jingtai, the first shot was fired.

The steppe, which had gradually calmed down due to the heavy damage of the Tatars, once again set off a bloody storm.

After Zhu Qiyu learned about it, he immediately launched a friendly policy to welcome the grassland tribes to join the Ming Dynasty, but was persuaded by Li Qing.

Catching up is not a business, and it is not too late to launch a national policy of solicitation after Warat is fighting more and more fiercely and most of the steppe tribes have suffered. gòйЪ.ōΓg

Zhu Qiyu scratched his heart, but after careful consideration, he felt that Li Qing's suggestion was more cost-effective, so he forcibly pressed it down.

However, he increased the share of firearms settlements to one-half.

And said to Boyan Timur: Even if you fight, if you are short of money, I will fully support you to rule the steppe.

The emperor was so interesting that Naboyan Timur had nothing to worry about, and immediately submitted an application for a loan for 200 cannons.

Zhu Qiyu received the application, but he didn't say anything, so he sent the artillery to the Xuanfu before the year and asked Wara to send someone to pick it up.

Come to think of it, with these 200 general cannons joining, Warat will be even more fierce...... Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but smile crookedly.
