The wine table pushes the glass and changes the lamp, the atmosphere is warm, and the tent, Li Hong stands straight, only swallowing saliva.

Until the end of the show, he didn't mix a mouthful of hot rice.

After finishing the work, he also had to be responsible for bringing back Zhu Yong, who had drunk too much.

…

Shi Heng glanced out of the tent and muttered, "Do you really think... Can Zhu Yong take over your class? ”

"What do you think?"

"Enough." Shi Heng shook his head slightly, "He is mature and well versed in officialdom, but this is not all advantages, he is too sophisticated, I am afraid it is difficult to stick to the bottom line." ”ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ

Li Qing was surprised: "I can't see it, you still have such knowledge." ”

"What's that called?" Shi Heng made a straight face, "How can I say that I am also the Marquis of Wuqing, the commander of the army, how can I be a reckless man who doesn't understand?" ”

Li Qing pursed his lips, too lazy to argue with him, "I don't need him to replace me, he can't replace me!"

The emperor also did not allow a second Li Qing to appear, he was not in my class, but one of the banners of the Ming army. ”

Shi Heng was stunned and nodded slowly: "That's true, don't talk about the emperor, I'm afraid that those officials will not allow any more characters like you." ”

He still felt sorry, "Seriously, you are only in your early fifties, and with your physical fitness, it will not be a problem to work for another thirty years, so why are you in a hurry to retreat?"

With your ability, if you don't retreat, no one can help you. Shi Heng was puzzled, "Besides, the emperor is also quite good to you, and your existence can restrain the power of the ministers, he will not think about dealing with you, at least not for a long time." ”

Li Qing took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I said before, I quit just because I wanted to quit, for no other reason, over the years, I am also tired and want to take a good rest." ”

"Alas... It's a pity. Shi Heng knew Li Qing's temper, so he didn't persuade him again, and said again: "Your godson, what are you going to arrange?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it when I go back this time." Li Qing put down his wine glass and said, "Living here is really difficult for you now, when the temperature warms up, you can go back and enjoy life." ”

Shi Heng said, "What do you mean?" Shall I only care for my own enjoyment, and not ......?"

"It's the same with you or not." Li Qing ruthlessly interrupted him and teased: "It's all over the age, what can you do, just go back and recuperate." ”

Shi Heng: "......"

He knows what Li Qing is capable of, and his words are a little ugly, but there is no adulteration at all, and it is also for his good.

His body is indeed not good, and the conditions are not quite allowed to be strong.

After being silent for a while, Shi Heng said, "Your side, when will you be able to finish your busy work and get on the right track?" ”

"It's hard to say this, no matter how fast it is, it's going to be the second half of the year."

"Give me the right word."

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Before the Chinese New Year this year, I should be able to rush back." ”

"Hmm... Yes. Shi Heng is no longer hypocritical, "Then I'll go back after the New Year, by the way, do you need me to help you bring a message to the emperor?" ”

"Yes! I want food, silver! Li Qing said, "After the fifteenth year, it will be a big time to open up the wasteland, from farming to harvesting, it will take a long time, and the food will not be able to support it at the moment." ”

Shi Heng hesitated: "Food is easy to solve, but silver is ...... The emperor does not necessarily approve it. ”

"He will approve, although he picks the door, but he can carry it clearly in major matters, you just need to bring the words." Li Qing smiled and lowered his head to sip wine.

Shi Heng was greedy and reached for the wine jug, but was slapped before he could touch the back of his hand.

"Don't drink it, you're over the limit today."

“……”

——

Li Qing continued to be idle, except for occasionally secretly observing his godson, and dealing with "Water Margin" the rest of the time.

During the period before the Lantern Festival, not only Li Qing, but everyone lived very briskly, which is recognized as the most leisurely time of the year.

However, Li Hong is not leisurely at all, and now he has really become a pro-soldier.

Under Li Qing's instructions, Zhu Yong no longer treated Li Hong preferentially, did not give him privileges, and often assigned him some small jobs.

Even...... Including serving tea and pouring water.

Li Hong didn't like this kind of life, he still wanted to do something meaningful, not do something similar to that of a subordinate.

On this day, after serving Zhu Yong's footwater, Li Hong couldn't bear it anymore and came to Li Qing to complain:

"Godfather, I don't want to be a soldier anymore."

"Yes," Li Qing bowed, "You've been out for a long time, and after a while, Marquis Wuqing will return to Beijing, you can go back to Jinling with him." ”

"Huh?" Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Godfather, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean...... Can you arrange me with an errand that will help me improve? ”

"How do you want to improve?"

"I ...... Why don't you let me scout? Li Hong said tentatively.

Li Qing shook his head: "No need, we have already figured out the topographic map within a radius of 100 miles, and the general location of the enemy's attack has also been determined, there is no need to do these meaningless things." ”

"Then I'll go ahead and guard the road." Li Hong said.

Li Qing said lightly: "The army is opened by your family?" Do whatever you want? ”

"Godfather......" Li Hong sneered, "You are handsome, this is what you say." ”

Li Qing shook his head with a sneer, and said, "Give you two choices, either continue to be a pro-soldier, or get out of here." ”

"Godfather......

"It's called Dashuai!"

“…… Knowing the commander, I will continue to be a pro-soldier. Li Hong was not angry, but more often than not, he did not understand.

He knows that his godfather's character is by no means the kind of pedantic person, let alone a person who wants to show his selflessness and wronged his godson.

To say grinding...... What can you sharpen by serving tea and pouring water?

After thinking about it, Li Hong came to the final conclusion: my godfather didn't want me to take the official career, so he wanted me to be a second-generation Xun who was waiting for death, so he deliberately made things difficult.

Godfather, godfather, I'm only in my early twenties, my life is still long, I just want to improve, what's my crime...... Li Hong was angry.

At this moment, the rebellious psychology that there is almost no has ever experienced is growing wildly.

Isn't it just a pro-soldier? Just do it!

……

The comfortable life passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to eat the Lantern Festival again.

However, at the moment, outside the gate, Li Qing has not been able to eat tangyuan.

After coming to Hetao for so long, the overall situation is almost according to Li Qing's expectations, but there are exceptions, such as ...... Climate.

Li Qing's original plan was to open up the wasteland after the Lantern Festival, but who expected that as soon as the Lantern Festival passed, it snowed heavily for several days.

Helpless, Li Qing had no choice but to postpone the plan and wait for the climate to warm up.

At the beginning of February, the snow and ice began to melt and the weather warmed up.

Shi Heng, who was upright, said goodbye to Li Qing and prepared to go back.

He's in his sixties, and he's not in good shape, so he certainly doesn't want to stay in a place where birds don't poop for long.

Li Qing specially called Li Hong and asked him if he wanted to go back to Beijing together.

"It's been more than half a year, let's go home and have a look!"

"No return." Li Hong was categorical and firm.

Li Qing smiled, "Aren't you afraid, your Uncle Zhu will marry your Wanqing sister to someone else?" ”

Li Hong was stunned and snorted: "Sister Wanqing has not yet reached the age of leaving the pavilion, handsome, you don't fool people!" ”

"But you can get married first, and then talk about it...... Can't make sure she likes someone else? Li Qing said: "You don't know what kind of virtue your Uncle Zhu has, he has been suffering from you for a long time!" ”

“…… I believe in her. ”

Li Qing pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and got up to see Shi Heng away.

~

"Sir, don't worry, after returning to Beijing, I will tell the emperor as soon as possible." Shi Heng said, "However, I don't dare to guarantee whether the emperor approves it or not." ”

"Just bring your words, and he will approve it." Li Qing nodded and instructed: "Slow down on the road, don't just think about rushing back to get tired, and rest well after you go back......"

"Hey, I know." Shi Heng arched his hand and said, "Sir, take care." ”

"Well, take care too." Li Qing smiled, "Let's go, enjoy life in the future." ”

"Then I'll go."

"Go ahead." Li Qing's head was bowed.

Seeing off Shi Heng, Li Qing, who had been leisurely for a long time, became busy again.

Li Hong finally didn't have to be a personal soldier anymore, but he was even more miserable, and was arranged by Li Qing to go directly to the wasteland with the big head soldiers.

This tired the child and almost ran away......

…

~

Capital.

Today, Zhu Jianshen stopped the court meeting, and he didn't work in the imperial study, because today is a special day.

- He's going to be a father.

In the outer hall of Yongning Palace, Zhu Jianshen paced back and forth, anxious to the extreme, it had been more than two hours......

Listening to Sister Zhen'er's painful screams, he was full of torment, both worried about Sister Zhen'er and worried about his own children.

Growing up so big, he rarely had such a mood today, even when he was sad when he ascended the throne and found that he had to look at people's faces.

"Why haven't you ...... well" Zhu Jianshen spun around in a circle, hating to rush in, but he couldn't hold back after all.

The palm print eunuch Huai'en wanted to comfort, but he was afraid that if something bad happened and the pond fish would be harmed, he could only show an anxious look.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...... It's getting dark.

Suddenly, a baby's cry sounded.

Zhu Jianshen paused, and in an instant, his anxious look was replaced by ecstasy, his face was red, and he spoke incoherently with excitement.

"I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father......"

Wynn was shaken by his collar for a while, and he was almost out of breath, but he could only accompany his smiling face and said happily: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor......"

"Ah~ha......"

Zhu Jianshen laughed loudly, happy like a child.

It took him a while before he calmed down and walked briskly inside......

"Slaves and maids see the emperor's ......" a group of slaves and maids saluted.

The midwife didn't salute, she was wrapping the baby's clothes, and after a while, she turned around with the baby in her arms and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the emperor, the mother gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor." ”

Zhu Jianshen was even more happy, and hurriedly reached out to hug his son, but he withdrew it halfway, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said softly:

"Zhen'er, thank you for your hard work."

"Concubines... Not bitter. Zhen'er smiled weakly, and she struggled to see her son.

Zhu Jianshen got up and took his son from the midwife's arms, put it in front of Zhen'er's eyes, and whispered, "Zhen'er, look, this is our child." ”

"Hmm..." Zhen'er looked at her son and smiled, her smile was happy and full of maternal brilliance......
