Chapter 58: Zhu Gaoxu is here
Li Qing scratched his head: "I don't seem to know any foreigners?" β
"Just look at it?" Zhang said sloppily, "Anyway, people are looking for you by name, and they still clearly say that Li Du is in the matter, and it shouldn't be wrong." β
Li Qing put on his shoes and took off the robe on the wooden shelf, "Where are the people?" β
"Where's the front yard guest house?" Zhang stretched his waist sloppily, "There is also a small half bucket of ice, just enough for me to sleep in the cage." β
He stepped on his right heel with his left foot, shook off his shoe, lay down comfortably, and hummed: "If you don't cook at noon today, it's over if I beat you or not." β
ββ¦β¦ Got it, Master. Li Qing touched his nose, got up and went out.

Front yard guest house.
Li Qing saw each other, but ...... He didn't know.
"I'm the one you're looking for." Li Qinghu wondered, "Where are you from?" β
"I came from Jiaozhi in the next, and I was looking for Daming Li Qing Li to give things to me." The other party spoke a non-standard Chinese dialect with a strange tone, but he could understand it.
Li Qing was stunned, and then suddenly woke up, "Han... Is your Master Zhu coming to Daming? β
"It's still on the way, I'm just coming to explore the road in advance, and I'll inquire about Lord Li's whereabouts first." The other party said politely.
"Well, when will you come?" Li Qing asked, "By the way, in what capacity did he come over?" β
The other party groaned for a while, and said, "Around mid-June, as a businessman." β
"I know, you go back and tell him that everything is under control, and I will do what I promised him." Li Qing sighed and asked again, "How is he doing now?" β
"The old man is in good health."
"Well, that's good." Li Qing nodded lightly, "I'll wait for him here, and let him come here directly." β
"Yes, then I will say goodbye."
Sending people away, Li Qing looked at the vitality of the courtyard and was stunned.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Li......" the little girl shouted with her face high, her little face full of displeasure.
Li Qing came back to his senses, "What's the matter?" β
"Did you persuade you?" She asked angrily.
"Uh...... I forgot. Li Qing smiled awkwardly, "Next time, I'll persuade you next time." β
Zhu Wan said angrily: "You don't talk about credit, you don't do anything after receiving benefits, there is no next time." β
Li Qing couldn't help but be happy: "You are a little girl, and you still have a temper?" Hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you, Uncle Li, I often take benefits and don't do things, what's the matter? β
"You ......," the little girl's face flushed, "you wait." β
Li Qing pursed his lips: You still dare to say cruel things? It's a shame that you're a girl, if you're a boy, it's over if I fan you or not, and make me wait? It's so habitual!
But whether to say it or not, without this girl's help, I will have to be beaten by the little old man a few more times in the future.
In fact, Li Qing didn't mean it, but he was used to taking advantage and not doing things.
"This little girl is ......" Li Qing shook her head with a smile, and then began to sigh again, time flies really fast, when she brought Zhu Qizhen back from the grassland, it seems that it was still yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, Zhu Qizhen's daughters are so old.
And the people he knew during the Hongwu period are now the only ones left with Zhu Gaoxu.
But he ...... It's old too.
Li Qing pinched his fingers and calculated, Zhu Gaoxu is eighty years old, this age can definitely be called a long life, and now that the leaves have returned to their roots, there is nothing to regret.
He has no relationship with Hanhan, but he has a friendship, after all...... Han Han, that's really giving.
And Zhu Gaoxu did not cause trouble to the dynasty, although he rebelled, but the rebellion was like playing a family, it did not affect the Ming Dynasty at all, but he made himself miserable enough.
Li Qing felt funny when he thought about it, and at the same time, he felt pitiful to Zhu Gaoxu.
In his life, he can be regarded as ruining the hands of the fourth child, others are cheating fathers, and he is being cheated by his father.
Who is going to reason with this?
β¦
Li Qing sent a letter to Zhu Qiyu, writing his thoughts on the future strategic development of the north, and asked him to dispatch a brocade guard for his own use.
At the same time, he vaguely mentioned the matter of Zhu Gaoxu.
Originally, everything was planned by Li Qing and Zhu Qizhen's consent was obtained, but the problem is that now Zhu Qizhen is not the emperor.
And Zhu Qiyu didn't know the transaction between the eldest brother and the second grandfather, and he couldn't say a word or two, Li Qing could only mention it first, and then make it clear in person.
However, Li Qing was not worried, at the beginning of the battle of Luchuan, Han Han helped contain it and contributed a lot to Daming.
With Zhu Qiyu's benevolence and Hanhan's contribution, it is only a matter of course to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
In the final analysis, Zhu Gaoxu is the fourth child after all, and he is still the same father and mother as Renzong, which can be said to break bones and tendons.
At the beginning, it was difficult for the old four to be quiet, and Hanhan's contribution was not small, but now that Changfang is sitting on the throne, he shouldn't be so stingy.

At the beginning of June, thousands of Jinyi guards rushed to Jinling.
The deterrent power of Jinyiwei, especially the deterrent effect on local officials, is still quite strong, after all, this institution only serves the emperor.
They directly obey the emperor's orders, and they are naturally the emperor's errands, exaggerating to say that these people go to the place, and they can even be called Qincha.
Of course, there is still a big gap with the real Qincha, but even so, the deterrent effect is extremely strong.
Some people with a heart just want to corrode, and they have to weigh it, if this is not done well, let the emperor know, then there is no need to live.
Wooing the emperor's close ministers is almost the same as rebellion, who would dare?
However, the current Jinyiwei cannot be compared with the Hongwu period, and most of the weight has been replaced by Dongchang and the celebrant supervisor, which can only be regarded as the emperor's thug...... One.
Rao is so, and it is enough to deal with the magistrate.
And now, Zhu Qiyu has handed over the right to use this brocade guard to Li Qing, who is a marquis, and the officials in the DPRK and China can't help but look sideways, and at the same time they are even more afraid of Li Qing.
For this reason, many people cursed Li Qing behind their backs, begging God to take this unlucky person away as soon as possible.
In their eyes, Li Qing is a-stirring stick!
Shen Xin has thousands of brocade guards as bodyguards, and his personal safety has been greatly guaranteed, and with Li Qing's big backer, he has no worries at all.
Without any hesitation, Shen Xin immediately mobilized more than a dozen sons and seven or eight grandchildren to start selling his property.
After this incident, he can be regarded as understanding, even if Li Qing doesn't take him, he has to find a way to stick to Li Qing, he can't stay in Jinling, and if he stays here, he will definitely be retaliated. gΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ΕΞg
It can be said that he has no choice but Li Qing now.
And Li Qing is worthy of his trust, because Li Qing has never harmed him, and he really made a lot of money later after following Li Qing.
It's just that...... In the end, he was too ambitious and smashed the play, but this was his personal problem, it had nothing to do with Li Qing, and Li Qing also reminded him to come.
In Shen Xin's heart, Li Qing's personality is quite high, taller than Qixia Mountain.
He has been eaten a lot by Jiangnan bureaucrats over the years, but even so, his wealth is quite amazing, much more than at the beginning.
"In the future, I will still do my duty, try not to provoke those people, and at the same time, I must also focus on cultivating some future generations who study." Shen Xin muttered to himself softly, planning for the future of the Shen family, "It is much less difficult to admit to the imperial examination in the north, and children and grandchildren can't pass the exam in the south, but it's different in the north......"
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, no matter what he thought, going to the north is the most preferred.
Shen Xin even began to plan how to make a fortune quickly after going there.

June 20.
On this day, Li Qing got up early, washed up and went to the East Kitchen.
Today, there are guests coming, as the host, you have to do the friendship of the landlord.
After all...... At the beginning, I got so many golden beans from other people.
Li Qing tied an apron and wore a high hat, holding a spatula in one hand and a vegetable basin in the other, skillfully pouring the washed fresh vegetables into the pot.
'Zilala......' water and oil collided, Li Qing quickly stir-fried, added seasonings, and soon the aroma of food came out.
Li Hong was amazed: "Godfather, your cooking skills are better than the chefs in the restaurant!" β
"That's it!" Li Qing smiled proudly, "What, want to learn?" β
"Sister Wanqing said that the food cooked by her godfather is delicious, and she wants to eat such meals in the future." Li Hong said embarrassedly.
Li Qing: "......"
How old is this, I started the CPU, and I will pay it back in the future?
"She wants to eat, she can learn!" Li Qing glanced at his godson and complained: "If someone says a word, you will come to learn from it, and in the future, you two will really become the master, and you will also be angry." β
"Godfather misunderstood, Sister Wanqing is not that kind of person." Li Hong hurriedly explained, and said: "I'll learn now, and I'll teach her later." β
Li Qing rolled her eyes and teased: "You can't bear her slender fingers, stained with spring water?" β
"Uh... I can't bear it, so I'll come. Li Hong smiled dryly, "Besides, isn't there still a subordinate, when the time comes, I will teach the subordinate." β
Li Qing smiled and didn't speak, what is there to say about this kind of thing, it is completely a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.
You think he's pitiful, but you don't know that people are enjoying it.
'Bell~ Li Qing picked up the pot, put the fried vegetables into the plate with a spatula, and was about to fry the next one, when the housekeeper walked in.
"Sir, here comes the guest."
