Chapter 84: A Visit to the Dead
Li Qing is gone.
The ministers rushed to tell each other, and they were happy......
The sky has eyes!
Li Qing's departure set off a monstrous wave in the Beijing official circle, and without his suppression, many people's minds were alive.
Over the years, they have been secretly rectified by Li Qingming, and now they have finally survived this house, and this must not be shown.
It's like...... The dog that has been on a leash for too long once loosened its chain.
It's time to show off your muscles and let the emperor know who is the minister of the humerus......
However, before they could have fun, they ushered in the first blow!
Zhu Jianshen's overall view has always been online, and he knows that as soon as Li Qing, the 'evil star', leaves, someone will inevitably be dishonest, so the day after Li Qing left, he started to act.
The factory guard, who has been in peace for a long time, is like a wolf and a tiger again.
The yamen, the officials' mansions, the Yiqing Building, the Zuichun Building...... But wherever officials frequently go in and out, they are full of factory guards.
Of course, the factory guards didn't do anything excessive, they just watched, or rather, just dangled in the faces of the ministers.
Just ask if you're afraid?
Unafraid?
So should you diaphragm or not?
Ministers: "......"

…
Summer is scorching,
Li Qing never wronged himself, the ice, grapes, and watermelons were all put on the whole, he was not in a hurry, and he was leisurely all the way......
In the carriage palace, although there is no bright yellow decoration, there is also an official logo, and the road is unimpeded.
Li Qing walked all the way, watched all the way, and sometimes when he was tired, he would live in one place for a few days......
In mid-July, I rushed to Hangzhou. State.
Li Qing didn't rush anymore, bought some gifts, and prepared to visit an old man.
For years, there was not even a single letter...... Li Qing couldn't help but slander and drove the carriage to Qiantang......

Yufu.
After Yu Qian returned to his hometown, the newly built mansion was not very big, but it was very delicate and antique.
In the Jingtai Dynasty, the emperor's favor was incomparable, and Zhu Qiyu's reward for Qian was almost never broken, even compared to Li Qing, it was not inferior at all.
Although Yu Qian is honest, his furniture is also very thick, and after building this mansion, he built a restaurant, and there is still some leftover.
Yu Mian wanted to take advantage of the maritime business boom to join this new wave, but was vetoed by Yu Qian on the grounds that officials were not allowed to do business in the sea.
No, father and son are making trouble again.
"Father, you are no longer an official of the Ming Dynasty, everyone else does this, you ...... Why bother? ”
"Just because everyone else does it proves right?" Yu Qian glared at his son and said, "Okay, don't mention this matter again!" ”
After a pause, "My father is not a pedantic person, and he doesn't let you do maritime business, it's not all because of the imperial court system, and you are not a material for business." ”
"Father, how do you know? You are ......" Yu Mian persuaded bitterly: "Father, in fact, now that the court has been liberalized, it's just not good to put it on the surface......"
Yu Qian said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the liberalization that the competition is more intense, and the father is favored by the country, and Emperor Zhongzong is particularly richly rewarded;
But after the house is built, after the restaurant is built, there is not much left......"
"So you can't sit back and eat empty!" Yu Mian said.
Yu Qian rolled his eyes, "What my father means is that this money is not enough to support you in business, it is better to build a restaurant more, and rely on this in the future, which is enough for our Yu family to eat and drink for several generations." ”
"Father, you are an old idea, what are you doing, and you still want to make money from the traditional industry." Yu Mian smiled bitterly, "Father, do you know the profits here?" ”
"Of course I know," Yu Qian said disdainfully, "I know earlier than you, more detailed than you, but you only see the profit, but you don't see the cost;
As far as our family's money is concerned, compared with those official gentry families, it is 108,000 miles behind, and we can't compete with others at all. ”
"Father's ......"
Yu Mian was about to persuade again, but the family hurriedly stepped forward, "Old lady, there are guests visiting." ”
"Who?" Yu Qian wondered.
When he first returned to his hometown, Hang. From the state to the prefect and down to the main book, there was an endless stream of visitors, but after he didn't take money or do things, no one came to visit for a long time.
Yu Mian asked: "But is it an official again?" ”
"Look." The servant replied, "However, the obedient voice is not like our people here. ”
Yu Mian said: "Let him go back, my father has long stopped asking about the court, let him go the way of others." ”
"Yes," the servant nodded, turned around and walked a few steps, and added, "Master, that person said that he was the old lady's best friend, a friendship of decades. ”
Yu Mian was bored, turned around and asked, "Father, do you still have a good friend for decades?" ”
"What? Can't you be a father without friends? Yu Qian was so angry that he pouted his beard, but it was more of a surprise, "Quick, invite someone...... No, I'm going to meet it myself. ”
Yu Mian was stunned, and suddenly came back to his senses, and said busily: "Father, you have bad legs and feet, so it's better for your son to go." ”
As he spoke, he rushed to the door.

Outside the door, Li Qing looked at this mansion with joy in his eyes.
"It seems that after Yu Qian returned to his hometown, his retirement life was very good......"
'Squeak~' The door opened, Yu Mian walked out quickly, his eyes were full of surprise, and he saluted respectfully, "Meet Yongqing Hou!" ”
"Be polite and polite," Li Qing smiled and helped him up, "I'm here to visit you today as your father's friend, don't be polite." ”
"Hey, please, sir." Yu Mian hurriedly made a 'please' gesture, "Sixth son, go and bring in the adult's carriage." ”
"Yes, yes," the next person has never seen such a big official, so he is busy.
Yu Mian smiled and said, "My lord, please." ”
"Hmm..."
As soon as he entered the mansion, he didn't walk a few steps before he met Yu Qian, who came in a hurry.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Yu Qian is a little older, but his spirit is very good, although he has white hair, his face is ruddy, and he seems to be ...... I'm still a little fatter.
Li Qing smiled and groaned: "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" ”
"Hey, it's fine." Yu Qian was a little excited, "Yu Mian, why are you still stunned, hurry up and prepare wine and food, Mr. finally came to visit...... Go ahead! ”
“…… Yes, the boy will go. ”
Li Qing said with a smile: "It's not an outsider, why are you so polite." ”
"Uh-he-he-he-he......" Yu Qian smiled embarrassedly, "Let's go, sir, let's go into the house and talk." ”
"Hmm..."
~
In the guest hall, two people are seated.
Li Qingde looked at the room furnishings and quipped: "Your retirement life is still quite nourishing, this mansion is not much worse than the one that Emperor Zhongzong of Beijing rewarded you." ”
"It's all thanks to the emperor's Longen......" Yu Qian nodded with a smile, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. is coming to Hangzhou. State, but ......"
"If you don't have official business, even if you have official business, it's not your turn to worry about it!" Li Qing said: "It's all retired, don't think about that." ”
"That's right." Yu Qian smiled bitterly, took the tea from his subordinates, and poured a cup for Li Qing, "This year's Longjing Spring Tea, Mr. Taste it." ”
Li Qing picked up the teacup, blew the tea leaves floating on the water, took a sip, and praised:
"It has to be local tea, which is much better than the one in the palace."
He was in a happy mood, Da Ming finally lived up to Yu Qian, and he was happy to see Yu Qian's life so nourishing in his later years.
Yu Qian asked, "Sir...... Taken on leave again? ”
After so many years of friendship, as far as it is now, Yu Qian's understanding of Li Qing is unparalleled.
"Well, I'm on leave." Li Qing teased, "What? Are you going to live a retired life, and you won't allow me to enjoy it? ”
Yu Qian couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "It should be, it should be ......."
He is also in a happy mood, Li Qing's dedication, he knows best: Mr. should rest.
"How long has it been since Mr. invited this time?" Yu Qian said, "If you have enough time, staying here for a few days will also allow me to do my best as a landlord." ”
"Okay!" Li Qing nodded and agreed, "Anyway, I have no time limit for this holiday." ”
“?”
Yu Qian was stunned and said in surprise: "Mr. has also returned to his hometown?" ”
"Almost, but I didn't say anything." Li Qing put down the teacup, "If the situation is stable, I won't go back." ”
Yu Qian nodded slowly, and said happily: "Okay, Mr. has worked hard for so long, it's time to rest." ”
He didn't worry about the affairs of the court, because he knew that since Mr. was in the field, it meant that the court situation had stabilized.
After not seeing each other for several years, they were both very happy and had a lot to say.
After tasting tea, the two drank and continued to chat, with endless words.
Yu Qian is arrogant in his heart, he has few friends in the officialdom, and Li Qing is the only one in terms of sincere friendship.
Li Qing is lonely, his friends who understand him are gone, and now, there is only one left in Yu Qian.
The two old men were eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing......
The smile on this day can last for years.
Yu Qian's physical condition is not bad, and he drank a small half jar of wine, and he was not unwell.
Or perhaps...... It was a large amount of alcohol that was cultivated when he went out with the army that year.
Afterwards, Li Qing gave him a pulse and said, "Take good care of it, and it will not be a problem to live for another ten years." ”
Yu Qianle said: "I didn't fall behind in the health prescription given by Mr., I'm afraid that if Mr. comes to me for a drink, I will ruin my ...... Hiccup~"
With a sigh of relief, Yu Qian said: "Sir, don't worry, Yu Qian cherishes himself, Yu Qian still wants to... Accompany Mr. more ......"
Yu Qian drank too much, and before he finished speaking, he fell asleep on the table.
Li Qing quietly crossed his true qi to make him more comfortable, and then joined forces with Yu Mian to carry him to the wing room to rest.
…
Li Qing had plenty of time, so he didn't rush to leave, and stayed in Yufu.
Two retired elderly people listened to the play, watched the tide of Qiantang, and drank tea...... It's called a laid-back one.
During this period, Li Qing also learned about the small contradictions between Yu Qian and his son.
For this reason, he deliberately found Yu Mian, broke it open, crumpled it, and explained to him the pros and cons of running a maritime business.
On this point, Li Qing and Yu Qian have the same opinion.
Maritime business is to make money, but now it has become a business that only rich people can do, and a little bit of family assets like Yu Qian is really not enough.
However, Li Qing pointed out another way for Yu Mian.
Go to the imperial examination, martial arts!
At present, this competitiveness is very small, and Yu Qian himself has a high attainment in military affairs, and he has been a secretary of the military department for so long, and with such a father as an endorsement, no matter how bad he is, he can be mixed with an official and a half-job.
In this regard, Yu Qian was a little resistant.
But Yu Mian refused to give up, crying and begging: "Dad, my son is forty years old, no matter how enterprising he is, his son will really be old, you have restricted your son for more than 20 years......"
Yu Qian finally relented, no longer restricted his son, and promised to teach him......
Yu Mian was overjoyed, and his father finally supported him.
Seeing the reconciliation between father and son, Li Qing was also happy......
