Zhu Jianshen is an understanding person, although Li Qing only works in the Wenhua Hall for one hour every day, and he does not go directly to the court meeting, but he knows how many practical things Li Qing has done.

This does not include the efforts of the Orthodox and Jingtai dynasties......

Zhu Jianshen felt that he couldn't be too stingy, at least not to be stingy with Li Qing.

"When does the vacation start?"

"Since the emperor has agreed, let's start today." Li Qing said with a smile: "However, before leaving, there is still a message for the emperor." ”

"What's that...... Wait a minute, let's go? Where are you going? Zhu Jianshen frowned.

Li Qing smiled: "It's not important, in fact, I don't know where to go, Daming is so big, there are so many places......"

"Wait......" Zhu Jianshen faintly sensed that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "How long are you going to take this leave?" ”

"There is no deadline."

"What do you mean?"

"That's it...... When I want to please, please ......" Li Qing didn't finish speaking, and his body immediately leaned back.

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhu Jianshen frantically output:

"Let you ask for leave, not let you return home!

Kick your nose in the face, right?

Is there a courtier like you?

Li Qing, you deceived me too much! ……”

After a full quarter of an hour, Zhu Jianshen stopped, gasped and said, "Don't approve it, don't approve it for a day, it's really ...... Waste my feelings. ”

"Hey, if you say that the Son of Heaven is a good man, how can you say that you will regret it?"

Zhu Jianshen is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water and burns his face: "I regretted it, what's the matter?" ”

"Then if you want to do this, I can go straight to the wilderness." Li Qing pursed his lips, "They are all particular about people, and it's not good for anyone if it's too ugly." ”

Asking you for leave is to give you face, but isn't it really to see your face...... Li Qing said: "I will tell you this, you have to approve it, and you have to approve it if you don't approve it." ”

"You bastard!" Zhu Jianshen was angry, "You dare to threaten me, you are presumptuous, presumptuous......!" ”

Li Qing frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Don't yell at me." ”

"Bastard......!" Zhu Jianshen broke the defense.

The little yellow door on duty in the outer hall, as well as the guards outside the hall, rushed in, and as a result, before they could stand firmly, they were scolded by Zhu Jianshen:

"Get out! Who let you in? Get out of here! ”

“…… Be. ”

A group of people came quickly and went in a hurry, and the hall soon quieted down, only the monarch and the minister looked at each other.

Zhu Jianshen glared angrily, and Li Qing looked indifferent.

After a while, Zhu Jianshen snorted: "In this way, I will approve you with a three-month leave and let you go back to Jinling to live for a while, right?" ”

Daming's annual leave is calculated on a daily basis, and in March, Zhu Jianshen feels that he is super generous.

Li Qing rolled his eyes to the sky: Three months? It's called Hanako, and I don't take a leave of absence in months.

"No way?"

Li Qing: "......"

Zhu Jianshen was angry again: "Li Qing, don't go too far, don't be afraid to take my favor!" ”

Li Qing: "......"

@#￥%……

After another burst of output, Zhu Jianshen took a step back and said, "Half a year, no more, this is my bottom line." ”

Li Qing sighed and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are no longer a child, and you also have the ability to spread your wings and fly high, why are you ...... Still so dependent on the ministers? ”

"Who relies on you, don't put gold on your face." Zhu saw a deep anger, "Eat the king's Lu for the king's share, this is your duty." ”

"Then I don't want it." Li Qing said.

Zhu Jianshen: "......"

Then, there was another wheezing and panting eye......

"Tell me, how are you going to give up?" Zhu Jianshen said weakly.

What I said... It's like I'm a vexatious little daughter-in-law...... Li Qing smiled bitterly: "I said at the beginning, there is no deadline. ”

"Are you really going to be so aggressive?"

"To be an emperor, you must have the consciousness of being a lonely person!" Li Qing said, "In the end, you only rely on yourself, the emperor has always been like this, you don't understand, right?" ”

Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and said stupidly: "Of course I understand, but I just thought it was ...... You're not like everyone else. ”

Li Qing was stunned, and his expression softened: "I am indeed different from others, but I am also a human being, and I will feel tired, I ......"

Sighing, Li Qing assured softly: "I will not abandon Da Ming and leave, you can rest assured of this." ”

"Ang, it looks like a man said this." Zhu Jianshen's face also looked better, "It is impossible to have an indefinite term, at most, it will give you two or three years." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Two or three years later, the emperor, you are almost in power, what is the difference between me coming and not coming?" ”

Zhu Jianshen was silent.

"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

Li Qing took a sip of tea and said: "There can be people like Wan'an, but not too much, some things are said too much, there are too many people who say more, and those who are praised may be taken seriously, I don't want you to be an arrogant emperor." ”

After a pause, "I said before, if you ...... I'm going to come back and smack you in the mouth, no kidding you. ”

“…… Finished? ”

"One more thing." Li Qing said: "Nowadays, Daming's tax revenue has risen significantly, there is basically no pressure on financial resources, and the sailors can start, the future ocean must be the focus of competition among countries, and Daming must maintain its position as the hegemon of the sea." ”

"The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade," Li Qing said solemnly: "If the Ming Dynasty is to be immortalized, the control of the ocean must be firmly grasped in the hands." ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded slightly: "I will do this, but before that, I have to go through some deployment and the investigation of the people who use it." ”

"Hmm... The emperor has always been cautious and prudent. Li Qing smiled slightly, "I hope you can keep it up." ”

"You say?"

"Haha......" Li Qing smiled heartily, then got up, restrained his smile, and arched his hand: "The minister retires!" ”

Turn around and ...... outwards

~

Mandarin Palace.

Li Qing handed over to Shang Chen, Liu Dingzhi, and Wan An.

For his departure, the three of them were surprised and shocked, and compared their hearts to their hearts, if they had Li Qing's powerful position, they would not have to do it until death?

However, Li Qing said that if he gave up, he would give up, and they were ashamed of themselves for this kind of open-mindedness.

Even Wan An couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, and asked himself if he couldn't reach such a height as Li Qing.

"Master Hou should be strong and strong, after this rest, you have to come back early." Wan An's face was full of regret.

Shang Zhen and Liu Dingzhi echoed with a reluctant expression.

However, they all know that as long as Li Qing leaves today, even if he returns to the DPRK in the future, it will be difficult to restore his status today.

Li Qing just smiled lightly: "If the government is clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why do I need to come back?" ”

The three of them were slightly stunned, and when they came back to their senses, Li Qing walked out of the hall door laughing.

In the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion, Li Qing had a parting party with Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncles and nephews.

said it was drinking, but in fact, it didn't drink a few drinks at all, it was more of a chat.

Shi Heng is old, and he can't walk well, so he can't drink a few glasses; Shi Biao's physical condition is much better than Shi Heng's, but after all, he ...... No longer young.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he deliberately downplayed the political status of his uncle and nephew, although the two were in high positions, but their right to speak did not match their status.

After all...... Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

In the past few years in Chenghua, the uncle and nephew have almost faded out of the court's field of vision, and the psychological gap is so big, how can they not be affected.

Even Shi Biao, who was a tiger and a tiger at the beginning, became depressed, especially the loneliness in his eyes, and he couldn't hide it.

Li Qing understood the mood of the two, but felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and persuaded:

"You were once glorious, and now you are rich; At such an age, he teased his grandson, and if he does not return to politics, he has no regrets! ”

Shi Heng smiled and nodded, and sighed lightly: "With my body, the emperor is really entrusted with a heavy task, and I can't do it, I am not dissatisfied, but Biaozi ......."

"I'm quite content, too." Shi Biao raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said with a wry smile: "A generation of new people for old people, it has always been like this, there is nothing to complain about, the emperor is like this, it is quite interesting, what else do you want." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile: "That's it, at the beginning, I saved the country, but now I have to be content with my descendants." ”

"yes, it's time to be content." The uncle and nephew nodded slightly.

Shi Heng said: "When will you come back?" ”

"I don't know," Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "If the government is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no need for me to come back." ”

"Doesn't that mean that today's farewell is the last time we will meet?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, nodded with a wry smile: "Maybe." ”

Shi Heng sighed: "You can really see it, the accumulation of three dynasties says don't want it, alas... It's a pity. ”ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ

"Who's to say it's not, you knighthood...... Don't you really plan to leave it to your own son? Shi Biao is not worth it for Li Qing, "I really don't know what you think, after working hard all your life, in the end, you let outsiders go." ”

"Yes, your body bones are obviously still moving, why don't you give birth to one yourself?" Shi Heng didn't understand either.

Li Qing laughed: "What's so important about the things outside the body?" Besides, he... Not an outsider. ”

Yes, in addition to being his godson, Li Hong is still an old man, how can he become an outsider?

The uncle and nephew didn't know the details, but even if they did, they didn't agree.

In the eyes of them, and even almost everyone in this era, the son is still his own good.

Long...

Li Qing raised his glass: "Another drink?" ”

The uncle and nephew also raised their glasses: "One more drink!" ”

"Take care, sir!"

"Take care!"

Outside the capital, the carriage slowly stopped.

Li Qing jumped out of the carriage, looked back at Beiping City, and then looked in the direction of the palace, and whispered to himself:

"In a flash, decades have passed, time flies so fast......"

Standing for a long time, Li Qing chuckled, "...... gone"

"Driving~"

The wheels turned, leaving two rutted marks, and in the afterglow of the red sunset, 'squeak' away......

Orthodoxy returned to the dynasty in five years, and Chenghua went to the field in five years.

Over the years, he has set things right, he has reformed and innovated, he has saved the national disaster, and he has corrected the route......

He, too, was tired.

As the sun sets, the carriage drifts away......
