Chapter 46: Substitute Teaching
Yu Qian groaned: "The prince is talented, learns things quickly, and has a good character, which is ......."
"What's it?"
"It's just ......," Yu Qian considered the wording and said, "It's just that you have some ...... for the people around you." Too much preference. ”
"It's normal." Li Qing didn't care, and said with a smile: "He has not had his father's care since he was a child, and his mother can't always be by his side in the harem, so it's reasonable to be close to the person who plays with him to adulthood." ”
Li Qing frowned and said: "What I care about is whether he has the posture of a wise man, you have been his teacher for so many years, you should know something." ”
Yu Qian pondered for a while, nodded and said: "The prince is still very ambitious, and now the court situation is stable, and the officialdom is no longer as full of anger as before;
I believe that in the future, the prince will make a difference when he ascends to Dabao! ”
Seeing that Yu Qian said seriously, Li Qing relaxed a little and chuckled: "This is the best." ”
"Sir, ...... you" Yu Qian heard the sound outside the strings and said in surprise: "You want to retire again?" ”
Li Qing sighed lightly: "It has been nearly 20 years since I entered the court again in the fifth year of orthodoxy, and I can't stay in the court all the time. ”
"It's still okay, as long as the gentleman wants to." Yu Qian glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one nearby, so he lowered his voice and said, "In the past, Mr. entered the court from the fifteenth year of Hongwu and retired until the Xuande period. ”
“…… When did you become a week of peeling? Li Qing rolled his eyes, "I can't rest?" ”
"Uh... Of course. Yu Qian's face was hot, and he said, "But Da Ming is also very important, isn't it?" Sir can rest for a while, even if it is for several years, but ......"
Yu Qian sighed: "It's not been a few years since the situation in the dynasty has been really stable, and it's not clear how the future will be, and there are too many things to do right now, isn't it just to set things right when Mr. came back?"
Mr. has worked hard all these years, if he repeats the mistakes of the past because he left the court, wouldn't it be a failure? ”
"Isn't there still yours?" Li Qing pursed his lips, but he didn't refute it, and his retreat was a little lighter.
Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "Sir, I'm not young anymore, I'll enter the year of the sixtieth year after this year, and the years are not forgiving!" ”
Li Qing was stunned, "Are you so old?" ”
"......" Yu Qian said with a smile, "Sir, have you forgotten, I am a Jinshi in Yongle for 19 years, how many years have I been?" ”
Li Qing's eyes darkened: "Yes, the years are unforgiving, even Yu Qian, you are almost sixty, this time flies really fast." ”
…
Yu Qian's house was not far from the palace, and it didn't take long to arrive at his door.
"Sir, why don't you come to my house for a cup of tea?" Yu Qian invited.
"Okay." Li Qing has never been polite to acquaintances.
The donkey was even more polite, and almost at the same time as Li Qing spoke, it went to Yu Qian's house, just like going back to his own home.

Guest Hall.
The two chatted about tea, and the conversation was naturally about the court.
"Sir, if you go to Liaodong this time, you might as well bring some officials with you." Yu Qian suggested, "As the population increases, there are more things to deal with, and it is necessary to add more officials. ”
"I told the emperor about this, the number of officials must be increased, including the establishment of guards." Li Qingdao, "There are more than a dozen civil officials and military generals. ”
Yu Qian was curious: "Who are the civil officials?" ”
"They are all newcomers, and the ones I chose were all people who were thrown into the Hanlin Academy after the imperial examination, and my grandmother didn't love my uncle and didn't love them, and my family conditions were not rich." Li Qing said with a smile, "Those who are depressed will cherish the opportunity even more." ”
Yu Qian nodded, "The emperor has given the leaders of the grassland tribes official titles, and this dominant power ......"
"There must be a Ming Dynasty to lead." Li Qing has no doubt, "When the time comes, I will make it clear to them that those who are willing to follow Da Ming will not treat them badly, and if they are unwilling, Da Ming will not force them, where they come from and where they will go back." ”
Yu Qian was relieved and said with a smile: "That's it, the grassland barbarians are not accustomed to education, if they are too tolerant, what kind of disaster will happen if they are not kept together." ”
Speaking of not practicing education, Yu Qian suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sir, has you opened a school in an area where the grassland tribes are concentrated?" ”
"It hasn't been built for a long time, and the classes haven't started yet, but it will be on the agenda in the second half of the year at the latest." Li Qing put down the teacup and said, "Cultural identity is the top priority, not to ask them to be familiar with the scriptures and history, but also to subtly influence them;
Let them have a sense of identity and belonging to Han culture, and if they can't do this, they won't be considered successful integration. ”
Yu Qian bowed his head and smiled happily: "Sure enough, with Mr. here, I don't need to worry about it at all." ”
"When did you learn to be lazy?" Li Qing pursed his lips and teased.
"Who wouldn't want to be easy?" Yu Qian smiled and said, "Besides, this is not my business, I am a soldier in the army, so I can't grasp big things and small things, right?" ”
"Hey, you're quite reasonable." Li Qing shook his head with a smile, seeing that Yu Qian still had a trace of uneasiness in his eyes, he said helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't really let it go." ”
Yu Qian really relaxed, nodded and said, "In fact, with Mr.'s ability, he can stabilize the overall situation without much hard work." ”
"Less of a top hat for me." Li Qing rolled his eyes, "I'm not a free coolie. ”
Yu Qian smiled and asked, "Sir, why did you go to Liaodong?" ”
"The emperor asked me to go after the first month, there are still a few days." Li Qing stretched, "Are you busy in the afternoon?" ”
"Hmm... The prince has a ...... this afternoon. Physical education class in the mouth of the gentleman. Yu Qian said, "My riding and archery level is average, why don't you go to the East Palace with me and substitute for me?" ”
“…… Yours is the real thing. Li Qing said angrily, "I mean, if you're not busy, let's drink, and you can arrange a job for me." ”
Yu Qian said: "This is not a trivial matter, the prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the future son of heaven ......"
Balabala......
Li Qing's brain hurt, "You know, I don't like to work in vain. ”
"I'll ask my husband for a drink in the evening." Yu Qian hurriedly made conditions.
"Hmm...... Come on. "Li Qing hasn't seen the little prince for several years.
He also wanted to see what this future son of tomorrow looked like now, and whether there was any discrepancy with Yu Qian's evaluation.
"It's not long before noon, don't leave at noon, let's go to the East Palace after dinner." Yu Qian suggested.
Li Qing's house is quite far from the palace, and Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to enclose a piece of land and build a Yongqing Marquis Mansion for Li Qing, but he refused.
I can't live for too long, the Jinling one is enough, it's a waste to build it, and the court is not rich, so I can't afford to spend this money.
"Let's talk about it first, noon is noon, and it has nothing to do with drinking at night."
Yu Qian couldn't help but smile: "...... Never mind. ”
At noon, Li Qing had a few drinks, but Yu Qian did not drink a drop of wine.
After eating and taking a nap, the two rushed to the East Palace.

East Palace.
Zhu Jianshen finished eating, pushed the bowl, and said to Zhen'er, "Sister Zhen'er, call Xiao Dezi and a few of them, let's play Keju, right?" ”
At his age, he couldn't be idle, and he couldn't wait to play for thirteen hours a day, and when Teacher Yu didn't come, he wanted to play crazy for a while.
"Your Highness, in the afternoon, you have to practice horseback riding and archery, but they are all manual work." Zhen'er suggested, "It's better to conserve your strength, or... Tomorrow, right? ”
"Hmm... All right. Zhu Jianshen was a little unhappy.
Seeing him like this, Zhen'er thought for a while and said, "Then play a small game?" ”
"yes, okay." Zhu Jianshen was immediately happy, "I'll call someone." ”
With that, Fei also rushed out.
Zhen'er's face was full of amusement, her eyes had a touch of doting, and she was about to go back to the room to change into a short dress, but she saw a little palace maid hurriedly come in.
"The slave maid has seen Sister Zhen'er," the little palace maid was very respectful, "Lord Yu is here." ”
"So early today?" Zhen'er was a little surprised.
"Yes." The little palace maid smiled, cherishing words like gold, she didn't dare to offend the celebrity in front of the prince, and she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and make people unhappy.
"Got it, go and tell Lord Yu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go over in a while."
"Yes."
~
"Sister Zhen'er, why don't you change your clothes?" Zhu saw that everyone was called, and when he saw her coming, she didn't look like she was going to bow at all, and he was quite puzzled.
Wearing a palace skirt and bowing is somewhat indecent and inconvenient.
He urged: "You hurry up and change your clothes, otherwise Teacher Yu will come in a while." ”
Zhen'er bowed slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Yu has already arrived." ”
"So fast?" Zhu Jianshen was surprised at the same time, but also a little depressed, "Why is this still in advance?" ”
