The feast was held at the noon gate, and Shang Baoji was in charge.

The emperor's wedding is no less than a birthday, and even more.

The teaching workshop department has set up nine music songs, Guanglu Temple has set up wine in the west of the throne, set up food in the east of the throne, and set up a treasure and delicious pavilion, and the ingredients are all rare from all directions;

Among them, many fresh ingredients are rushed through the post station, and they are carefully cooked by the imperial dining room, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ming on the tip of the tongue is not an exaggeration.

This is just a wedding banquet, if all the expenses of the whole process of the wedding are added together, it will be at least two million taels, which can be said to be pomp and circumstance.

But no one thinks it's extravagant, the emperor, as it should be.

As the emperor, I often take my great selfishness and the great public of the world; Nothing more.

The emperor expected his courtiers to be obedient, honest, and honest; But he is often extravagant and wasteful, extremely extravagant, and even for the sake of royal decency, he spends millions of taels every year just unnecessary.

But the problem is that no one feels wrong, whether it is the bureaucracy or the common people, they take it for granted, and no one has an opinion, and they don't feel unfair.

Li Qing has opinions about this, but if there are opinions, there are opinions, and he has no ability to change them.

Changing the concept of tens of millions of people in the world with the thoughts of one person is tantamount to fantasy and simply unrealistic.

And he didn't dare!

If the class struggle is really set off, the world will immediately be in chaos, and it will even create a situation that is even more chaotic than that of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

After all...... Even in the postmodern period, Lao Yuan Tou is still called the emperor, let alone in this era.

Li Qing can only do his best to maintain stability as much as possible, and strive to maximize benefits, rather than going to extremes.

Advanced thinking that is too advanced will only lead to tragedy and tragedy.

In this wedding, the internal money that Zhu Qiyu left for his nephew before leaving was spent.

In response to the old saying, the cub doesn't feel distressed about spending money.

The emperor has not yet come, so the dishes are naturally not served, and the ministers are reserved to taste tea and chat with colleagues.

Li Qing's table is full of heavyweights, such as Yu Qian, Li Xian, Shi Heng, as well as households, rites, criminals, and workers, the four Shangshu, and the lineup is extremely luxurious.

They are all big guys, no matter how unhappy they are with Li Qing in their hearts, they will not get it on the table, and they are very polite to Li Qing on the surface.

"Yu Shangshu, is there any news on the grassland?" Li Qing asked.

All of them are court bosses, there is nothing to hide, what the court really wants to decide, they also have the right to speak.

"Not yet, but... The Great War is basically certain. Yu Qian put down the teacup and said, "Even if you don't fight before the year, you will fight after the year." ”

The head of the household department was stunned for a moment, and interjected: "The Ming Dynasty has raised taxes to support the people, and the emperor has reduced part of it for two years when he ascends the throne, and the military salary that the household department can provide is not much for the time being. ”

"Soldiers, murder weapons are also ......" Yao Kui followed up to express his opinion, and then spoke at length.

Li Qing was really annoyed and panicked, and he didn't bother to continue, but said: "They are also celebrating the New Year, if the big war is inevitable, it will basically be carried out in this short period of time." ”

After a pause, "After this battle, no matter who wins or loses, the pattern of the grassland will change dramatically, and we must also take contingency measures." ”

"I don't know what Yongqinghou thinks?" Yao Kui asked.

I don't tell you if I have a high opinion...... Li Qing said lightly: "The situation is unknown, it's too early to say this, Ben Hou just asked." ”

Yao Kui stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "This official has a plan. ”

"Oh? Do you have a plan? ”

"Why, Yongqing Marquis thinks that this official can't have it?" Yao Kui was dissatisfied.

"Nothing." Li Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip, this contemptuous gesture made Yao Kui angry.

On the day of the big day, Yu Qian didn't want to make trouble anymore, so he hurriedly played a round, "I don't know what Yao Shangshu thinks?" ”

Yao Kui glanced at Li Qing, but he really didn't dare to do anything with him, so he got off the donkey down the slope and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously, it's just some shallow views;

This official thinks that instead of spending a lot of money and letting my Ming soldiers shed blood and sacrifice, it is better to use it as a reward. ”

He said contemptuously: "The grassland barbarians don't learn to educate, give some benefits, don't worry that they don't do things according to the wishes of the Ming Dynasty, in this process, I will educate the Ming Dynasty again, so that you can have long-term peace and stability." ”

"Yao Shangshu has a high opinion." Lu Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, highly agreed, "Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, this is the best choice to deal with the grassland." ”

In fact, they want to do things, but while doing things, they will also take their own interests as the starting point.

When the war is together, the generals will develop and grow, and this is the fundamental reason why they oppose the war.

In the 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there is only a handful of time for civil officials to stand up, and they really don't want to be ridden by military generals anymore.

Based on this, infinitely weakening the role and influence of military generals has become the political position of the vast majority of civilian officials.

For them, unless, like the last time the Beijing Division defended the battle, the enemy hit the doorstep, otherwise it is better not to use troops.

When the troops are mobilized, they give the generals political soil!

Although Shi Heng was naïve, he also heard that these two people didn't hold back their farts, and snorted: "The emperor has the final say, is it too early to say this?" Moreover, the grassland barbarians have to be beaten, and blindly rewarding them will only make them fearless;

Yongqinghou, what do you think? ”

Li Qing just smiled: "The situation is still unclear, now it doesn't make much sense to say this, anyway, it's time to start the banquet, right?" ”

Everyone: "......"

We are discussing national affairs, but you are preoccupied with eating?

In fact, Li Qing didn't want to fight, let the grassland itself be chaotic, and the Ming Dynasty would benefit the most, otherwise it was likely to be dragged into the quagmire of war, and it would also calm down the civil strife in the grassland.

The cost of sending troops is enormous!

But it doesn't mean that the Ming Dynasty must not be able to send troops, it still depends on the outcome of this battle.

If you win a big victory, you won't fight, but you must fight if you win a big victory in Tatar! Otherwise, the steppe will be unified!

Another point, since the Battle of Luchuan, the Battle of Beijing, the Ming army has not fought again, it has been fifteen years ago, and it will be calm for more than ten years, once there is a fault in the army, then the combat effectiveness of the Ming army does not know what it will look like.

Under the conditions, Li Qing still wants to maintain the combat strength of the Ming army, of course, he cannot deliberately launch a senseless war in order to ensure the combat strength.

The degree of this should be well balanced.

Li Qing couldn't help but glance up at the north, his brows furrowed slightly: I hope Warat won't let me down.

…

Near noon, the emperor and queen came together, and the ministers paid their respects and saluted the young emperor.

Then, the teacher played music and the feast began. ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

The feast is sumptuous to the extreme, there is no shortage of food, there is no fullness of the situation, all kinds of rare delicacies are continuous, the ultimate luxury.

Anyway, it's a waste not to eat, Li Qing doesn't care about those, as soon as the banquet opens, even if it is Yu Qian, it can't be allowed, it's a pity...... You can't eat food.

The emperor did not stay for a long time, and left after just going through the motions, leaving the ministers to play freely.

As soon as the two left, the atmosphere of the banquet also reached its peak, colleagues toasted each other, and lower-level officials flattered higher-level officials, vividly interpreting the officialdom atmosphere.

Li Qing's table is full of bigwigs, so naturally he is the hardest hit area by toasting, and even Li Qing drank a lot more.

In the temple, you can't be too unkind, you still have to give each other some face on this occasion, and a few glasses of wine can't affect him.

…

Li Qing was still not very suitable for this kind of bureaucratic occasion, and after eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth and left the palace.

He got up in the middle of the night, and he had been busy until now, and he had to go back to catch up on sleep.

After arriving home, Li Qing did not forget the promise he made in the morning, and reviewed Tai Chi for his godson, and then went to the wing room satisfied.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, what does the queen look like?" Zhu Wanqing followed behind her ass and asked loudly.

"I didn't pay attention, I couldn't see my true face before entering the palace, so I showed my face at the feast." Li Qing thought for a while and said, "But it looks pretty beautiful, how can the queen be ugly!" ”

"Is the mat delicious?"

"Well, it tastes good." Li Qing waved his hand, "Okay, Uncle Li is very tired after being busy, I want to rest for a while." ”

Zhu Wanqing said wistfully: "Uncle Li, you are resting every day." ”

Li Qing paused, turned around and raised his eyebrows: "Do you have an opinion?" ”

"How dare you?" Zhu Wanqing smiled.

"If you don't dare." Li Qing said lightly: "The royal affairs have nothing to do with you, even if you restore your title of princess, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Zhu Wanqing's face was hurt: "Uncle Li, you still hate me." ”

"Don't do it."

"I'm really angry this time." Zhu Wanqing said, "My nephew is worried that you will not ask about the government for a long time, your power position will decline, and then you will be exploited by political enemies." ”

Li Hong limped forward and said, "Godfather, you are indeed too strict with Sister Wanqing. ”

"Okay, Uncle Li blames you this time."

"Just a mistake?" Zhu Wanqing snorted, "You know my weak heart......"

"Don't kick your nose in the face."

“…… The red envelope should be thicker. Zhu Wanqing said.

Li Qing nodded amusedly: "Yours are indispensable, it's really... In the future, everyone will have to take care of the two of you, but this little profit is clinging to it. ”

"Such a big family business belongs to Uncle Li, and the red envelope is his own." Zhu Wanqing said with a smile, and then asked worriedly, "Uncle Li, are you really okay if you are so lazy?" ”

Li Hong also said: "The temple is dangerous, once you lose power, you may be seized by political enemies, and then hit madly, the new emperor still favors the godfather, you have to give a positive response." ”

Li Qing smiled: "You two juniors still educate me, Lao Tzu has been an official for so long, and I don't need you to teach." ”

"Uncle Li, my eldest brother and I are also thinking about you." Zhu Wanqing muttered, "In the future... It's all family. ”

Li Qing smiled, her heart softened, and it was really good to feel cared for by her juniors.

"Don't worry, they don't have the guts, they don't have the ability for the time being, and they ......" Li Qing sighed, "I won't be idle for long;

After the year, the yuan will be changed, and the new emperor has a new year name, so naturally he has to do something to come out, and the situation outside the border has also reached the most critical moment, when the time comes, I will be busy. ”

Li Qing stretched his limbs and said lazily: "These days are my last free time, don't bother me." ”
