Li Hong rarely saw his godfather like this, so he became serious at the moment: "Godfather, don't worry, the matter is not as serious as you imagined." ”

"Well, you elaborate." Li Qing also felt that he had overreacted a little, and Xia Ye had only been in the field for more than three years, and he had not changed the sky.

Li Hong said: "Warat is divided into three, the strongest part of the lineage, with the reduction of trade support from the imperial court in recent years, the fatigue has become thicker, and the Tatar ...... Came up again;

Of course, at this stage, the weight of the Waratan line in the steppe is still very heavy, but on the whole, it is going downhill, but the Tatar is developing rapidly......"

After Li Qing heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

The rise of the Tatars, and even the rise, was within his expectations.

This is something that can't be helped, Warat is an outsider after all, in the past, the court was so supportive, they couldn't unify the grassland, and now the support is reduced, and it will definitely go downhill.

However, he didn't understand Zhu Jianshen's operation, when the Varat was divided into three, the situation was unclear, and the Tatars were not obvious, so he was afraid of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, so he reduced his support;

It's like this now...... Yes, this bastard boy is thinking of sending troops.

Li Qing sighed and asked, "Do you have any of this to tell the emperor?" ”

"Got it."

"How did he react?"

Li Hong said: "Before the child came back, the emperor had revised the trade with the Wara lineage, and it was expected to be implemented before the winter. ”

Fortunately, this kid can carry it...... Li Qing relieved himself a little, took a sip of tea, and asked:

"You've been in the loop for nearly two years, what do you think about the situation in the grasslands, or ...... Feel? ”

"Opinion...... Li Hong groaned and pondered: "Godfather, the child thinks that the grassland will be unified, and it cannot be stopped. ”

Li Qing didn't refute, "Go on." ”

"The general trend of the world: if you divide for a long time, you will be together, and you will be divided for a long time; Throughout history, this is the case," Li Hong said: "Taizu beat them out, and Taizong beat them to the ground;

Xuanzong adopted the strategy of pulling one to fight another, picking inside and pouting, so that he could fight in the nest; Since the Xuande Dynasty, after the years of orthodoxy, Jingtai, and Chenghua, they have all been maintained, and the Ming Dynasty has also benefited a lot......"

Li Hong sighed: "However, it is obviously impossible to continue this strategy permanently, and the Tartars have bottomed out and rebounded...... It's a matter of time;

It's been decades, and it's rare that Daming can maintain it for so long, and I'm afraid it will be ...... No, I can't do it. ”

Li Qing nodded slowly: "Your analysis is very reasonable. ”

"Uh-huh...... It's all taught by godfathers. Li Hong smiled reservedly and said: "However, even if the grassland is unified, it is not very important, they are not able to settle in the Central Plains again, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, and there are strong cities and artillery;

Just defending can bring them down. ”

"Li'er is such a reason, but this is just a strategy." Li Qing shook his head and said, "No matter what, you can't sit back and watch them unify;

Even if it can't be stopped, it will have to make it more difficult and slower for them to unify. ”

"That's right." Li Qing asked, "Have you told the emperor about this?" ”

"Uh... No, but the emperor is wise, and there is no need for children to say it. Li Honggan explained with a smile, he didn't dare to say such sharp words.

Li Qing sighed: "Okay, it seems that I should go back." ”

"Godfather, with all due respect, in the face of this general trend, personal efforts are really ...... Very little. Li Hong said hesitantly.

Li Qing laughed: "If you do too many small things, you can also affect the general trend!" ”

…

Front yard entrance.

"Godfather, are you leaving?" Zhu Wanqing was surprised, reluctant, and surprised, "Godfather, you must come back early." ”

"There are some problems in the government, I don't feel at ease if I don't go." Li Qing explained to a few people and said with a smile: "I'll try my best." ”

Zhu Qizhen asked, "When will I be able to come back?" ”

"How do I know?" Li Qing shook his head amusedly, "But...... It won't take long. ”

Li Hong knows his godfather and government the most, so he didn't keep it, but just pulled out his war horse, "Godfather, ride this, it's very fast." ”

"No, it's too hard for my godfather to hurry." Li Qing waved his hand and refused, for military generals, the role of war horses is better than taking advantage of weapons;

It is not easy to find a good horse and establish a certain tacit understanding with it, Li Qing does not want to snatch love.

"Okay, don't send it." Li Qing made a promise, "When I'm done, I'll come back again." ”

Zhu Wanqing asked: "Then...... Going out on a tour again? ”

Li Qing just smiled and walked out of the Hou Mansion.

"Brother Hong, what did you say to your godfather, he is going to be busy again?" Zhu Wanqing asked curiously.

"In the affairs of the court and politics, you are a woman and a family...... Sensing the dangerous gaze from the old man, Li Hong hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law suddenly remembered something, and he lost his companion......"

After that, he turned around and walked out of the Hou Mansion and ran to the other door to avoid trouble.

"This rabbit cub, a little bit of a donkey... The son-in-law has no consciousness, it's just presumptuous! "Zhu Qizhen's mood is not smooth," he was angry when he looked at him. ”

Zhu Wanqing said: "Daddy, you can be sober, you are a rich master, and I am just a rich lady, if you really talk about it, our family has climbed high......"

"Shut up!" Zhu Qizhen was annoyed and angry, and scolded: "It's really a big girl, let's go, go and honor your father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't come back in the future." ”

"Look, it's ...... again"

"Say it again?"

“…… Don't say it, don't say it. Zhu Wanqing hurriedly shook her hands and said with a smile, "My daughter is my father's little padded jacket, not to mention my parents-in-law, Brother Hong is not as good as you." ”ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

"Really?" The corners of Zhu Qizhen's mouth were crooked, and then his face sank again, and he snorted: "Say, what is there to ask for Daddy?" ”

Zhu Wanqing smiled dryly: "Daddy is wise, I want to see those things that my godfather wrote." ”

When Li Qing was there, she didn't dare to show it, Li Qing was gone, and she naturally had no scruples.

In this family, except for Li Qing, she really didn't fear anyone.

"That's not for you, why are you a woman looking at that?" Zhu Qizhen frowned.

Zhu Wan was angry and snorted: "Brother Ganghong said this about me, you are still angry, and now you are not the same, hmph, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps." ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't get off the stage, and said angrily: "Stinky girl, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you?" ”

"You fight, you fight!" Zhu Wanqing put her face up, "As long as you are ruthless, you can hit as you like." ”

"You ......" Zhu Qizhen's raised hand shook and shook, but he was still reluctant to fall, and said angrily, "Evil!" ”

Zhu Qizhen snorted: "Those things are not what you should see as a woman, what do you think that does?" ”

"My daughter wants to know something." Zhu Wanqing said.

"Curiosity kills cats, and when you know something, I'll tell you." Zhu Qizhen turned around and left, and said quietly: "Put away your curiosity, otherwise Lao Tzu will really beat you." ”

"Daddy......" Zhu Wanqing hurriedly caught up, "Godfather allowed me to watch it, he let me see it before." ”

"That's what you peeked at." Zhu Qizhen said with a calm face.

"Huh? Daddy, how do you know? Zhu Wanqing was taken aback, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that the godfather has known for a long time...... I see, he just made it for me to watch......"

Speaking of this, she was energetic, "Daddy, he is Li Qing, the Marquis of Yongqing, right?" ”

Zhu Qizhen paused, thought about it, and suddenly said, "If you want to see it, go see it!" ”

He took out the key, "In the innermost part of the library pavilion, in the box on the lowest floor of the bookcase, okay, one more sentence, Lao Tzu will whip you!" ”

“…… Okay. Zhu Wanqing's goal was achieved, and she was happy.

Zhu Qizhen looked at her back and muttered: "Since Mr. said that she probably guessed it, there is no need to hide it, anyway, sooner or later there will be a showdown......

He met Li Qing when he was a teenager, and after so many years of getting along, he knew too well what Li Qing was, and he knew that Li Qing couldn't let go.

Otherwise, Li Qing would not have rushed to Beijing as soon as he heard that there was a problem with the government.

Zhu Qizhen understands that in the future, if Daming is sick, Li Qing will definitely come to the doctor, and here ...... It is the capital of his rapid rise.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful Li Qing is, she must need a springboard, otherwise, she will waste too much energy for no reason.

Therefore, Li Qing's secret must be passed on after all, and Zhu Qizhen can see this thoroughly.

However, Li Qing also said that the window paper should not be pierced for the time being, and Zhu Qizhen is not good at talking.

"Huh...... Since she likes to guess, let her guess. ”

Zhu Qizhen had a bad look on his face, and he laughed......

[In this battle, the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the king of Wu Duoer, the acting king Dari, the prince, and the princess...... captured;

Soldiers captured: 77,525;

more than 150,000 cattle, sheep and livestock; More than 3 million taels of gold, more than 8 million taels of silver......]

"Continued, finally renewed......" Zhu Wanqing looked satisfied, while sighing at the rich results of this battle.

"Liang Guogong Lanyu is really amazing, I don't know if Brother Hong will be able to compare with it in the future......" Zhu Wanqing was amazed, and couldn't help but make a comparison in her heart.

Looking at the thickness, she looked satisfied, this time it was enough for her to look at it for a while.

At the beginning of May, the Royal Palace.

Zhu Jianshen finished busy with the government and was about to relax, when he was wandering between going to Anle Hall and looking for Sister Zhen'er, a little eunuch hurriedly came in,

Whispered and reported: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yongqing asks to see you." ”

"Yongqing what?" Zhu Jianshen didn't hear it too clearly.

"Yongqing Hou!"

"What green ...... Yongqing Hou? Zhu Jianshen stood up abruptly and asked urgently, "Is Li Qing back?" ”

The little eunuch was taken aback, and said, "Yes...... Jin Yiwei said that Yongqing Hou was back and was waiting in front of the palace gate. ”

Zhu Jianshen was ecstatic: "Hurry up, announce quickly...... No, I'm going to pick him up myself. ”

This guy is finally back...... Zhu Jianshen suddenly had a feeling that he was back, and he was no longer alone.

A quarter of an hour later, in front of the palace gate.

Zhu Jianshen saw that it was really Li Qing, and his heart was suddenly settled; He didn't go to Anle Hall either, and Sister Zhen'er didn't look for it, so he took Li Qing and walked to the palace.

…

The news of Li Qing's return to Beijing spread far and wide, and soon spread in the circle.

In this regard, many people are devastated.

No... Why are you here again? It's over......
