The Imperial Study.

The tea was ready, Zhu Jianshen retreated left and right, pulled Li Qingpan to talk, and asked him where he had been in the past few years and what he had done......

Li Qing didn't have much patience, explained a few words casually, and then got to the point.

"Your Majesty, there are signs of unification in the grassland, do you know?"

Zhu Jianshen was stunned, "Did Li Hong tell you?" ”

"Well, you know that, right?"

"I know," Zhu Jianshen nodded, "However, there is nothing I can do about it, and now it is no longer feasible to pick and choose, and I can only ensure that Warat does not die by increasing trade, and try to drag it out." ”

"What else?" Li Qing frowned slightly: "You didn't make other plans?" ”

"Of course I did." Zhu Jianshen said, "Although the strategy of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland in recent years cannot be continued, it can also be used. ”

Li Qing raised his chin: "Go on." ”

For the sake of you just coming back, I don't know as much as you do...... Zhu Jianshen nodded and continued:

"After decades of trade, it is not only Warat that has benefited, but Tatar has also benefited from it, but it is not as big as Warat, especially those who are superior, and their lives are called a nourishing ......," Zhu Jianshen said, "In fact, they can no longer do without the goods of the Ming Dynasty, such as tea, salt, iron pots, etc.;

Even if things do get to that point, the impact will not be great, and I only need to cut off the trade completely, and I can make them feel very uncomfortable. ”

Zhu Jianshen said with a smile: "Daming has a strong city and a cannon, and you are still afraid of them?"

They can't fight and can't fight, and they have a hard time surviving without the goods of the Ming Dynasty, so they can only be honest! ”

Li Qing shook his head and said: "It seems reasonable, but in fact, the feasibility is not great, as long as it is profitable, someone will do it;

If you stop trading, there will naturally be people secretly smuggling. ”

"Who dare?"

"When the profit is big enough, there will be many people who dare to do it." Li Qing snorted: "Do you really think that only civil officials are corrupt and take bribes? ”

Zhu Jianshen's face froze, and he said, "Of course, I have also considered smuggling the border generals, but even then, it doesn't have much impact;

How many things can the border general smuggle? There is no comparison to trade! ”

Li Qing sighed: "You are wrong, Daming commodities don't need to satisfy everyone in the grassland at all, only a handful of people from the upper class;

Because there are only a handful of people who have the right to speak, and they can use this to incite the people below to hate the Ming Dynasty! ”

Li Qing sighed: "It is true that even if it is like that, it is not enough to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty;

However, it is inevitable that the people will suffer every year in the Ming Dynasty, as well as huge military expenditures, which will come down all year round...... Have you ever calculated this account? ”

Zhu Jianshen was stunned, and his face was ugly.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a way to break the game.

"Sir, do you have a clever plan?"

"It's not a clever plan, but there is a bad plan."

"How?"

"Go to the army and disrupt the situation!" Li Qing said.

Zhu saw a deep groan, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, this time is really ...... Bad plan, Yongle Dynasty is so ruthless, it can't cure the problem......"

After a pause, "Of course, I also want to send troops, but now is not the time, against the grassland, either not to fight, if you want to fight, you have to be ruthless last time." ”

Zhu Jianshen said: "I have an idea, sir, how about you listen to it." ”

Li Qing suppressed what he wanted to say, and said, "You say." ”

"This time the matter of being in charge of the barbarians is deeply inspiring to me, and I want to use troops internally on a large scale to completely solve the problem of Tusi that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years!" Zhu Jian said in a deep voice.

"You mean...... Completely change the land and return to the stream? ”

Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Mr. is very human, but it is like this, which can not only solve the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty, but also allow the Ming army to recover to the peak strength of the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties through war training!" ”

He was full of spirits: "At that time, I will wave Mobei again, give them a ruthless one, at least let them settle for a generation." ”

Li Qing nodded happily: "Your idea is good, it's very feasible!" ”

"That's it...... Don't have anything else to say? ”

“…… The emperor is wise! Li Qing doted on him, for such an emperor, Li Qing was willing to spoil some.

Comfortable...... Zhu Jianshen crooked his mouth, "Mr. will also talk about it in detail... Your! ”

“…… The Ming can't send troops on the surface, I mean to raze the raze! Li Qing said, "I mean... The steppe people over there with the Hetao. ”

Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, but ...... Who will lead it? ”

"Me!"

"Huh?" Zhu Jianshen's mouth opened the boss, "You? ”

"Can't you?"

"It's not... How old are you...... Will it work? Zhu Jianshen frowned and said, "Besides, it's not a day's work, and you're not suitable......"

"I have a choice!"

"Who?"

"Son of Heyong, Hezhong!" Li Qing said: "He is a pure grassland blood, he is a general on the surface, and I will coordinate the overall ......situation in private."

After listening to Li Qing's layout, Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly: "It's feasible, it's feasible, but it's ...... I still think it's more useful for you to stay in Jingshi. ”

Li Qing smiled: "Your Majesty, it's been nine years since Chenghua, and you haven't been in power yet?" ”

Zhu Jianshen's face was hot, and he said, "You're in power, but aren't you better?" ”

"You just want to take it easy." Li Qing sneered, "You're not a child anymore, why are you like a giant baby?" ”

"Giant baby ......" Zhu Jianshen tasted this word, and couldn't help but blush.

But he didn't refute, somehow, he did always have a sense of dependence on Li Qing.

"When are you going to leave?"

Li Qing groaned: "I'll go and go to the Yong's house, try to be as fast as possible." ”

"Okay." Zhu Jianshen said helplessly, "Try to come back as soon as possible, don't be hard-topped, just say if you can't bear it...... Don't die. ”

"Don't worry!" Li Qing smiled, "In this world, no one can kill me." ”

“…… Hehe. Zhu Jianshen pursed his lips and was noncommittal.

However, Li Qing's return is a thing worth celebrating after all, Zhu Jianshen got up and asked people to prepare wine and food.

~

After a while, the two of them drank.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp for a while, Zhu Jianshen talked a lot, but he was asking Li Qing about the situation in the past few years.

Li Qing said a few perfunctory words, and also cared about Zhu Jianshen's situation in recent years.

"Your Majesty, are you ...... now Do you have children? ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and waved away the little eunuch who was waiting, and then said: "That's you, I won't tell him if someone else changes." ”

“…… So, yes? ”

"Well, but not in the palace." Zhu Jianshen nodded.

"Does Concubine Wan know?"

Do you still have the face to mention her? Zhu Jianshen glared at Li Qing resentfully, and said in a sullen voice: "I know, I knew it when I was close last year." ”

"She knows? The prince is still ...... Ahem, where is the prince? Li Qing asked.

"What? Would you like to meet? ”

"Hmm..."Li Qing thought for a while and said, "I also want to meet the imperial concubine." ”

“…… What do you want to do? Zhu Jianshen became vigilant, "I have a clear distinction between public and private, but I didn't miss the government because of her!" ”

"There's something I want to say to her."

"It's the same with me."

“…… If you don't agree, forget it. Li Qing got up and left.

"Hey, why are you like this, can't you talk well?" Zhu Jianshen looked helpless, "Come on, I'll let you see you once when you go back, but let's say it first, if you want to get her away, I'll not be done with you." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry, the raw rice is cooked, I'm not so bored;

I still don't drink this wine, I want to see the prince, by the way, what is the prince's name? ”

"I haven't come up with a name yet."

"Huh?" Li Qing was surprised, "You're too ...... Why? ”

Zhu Jian sighed deeply: "I don't want to expose the prince now, once the hundred officials know about it, they will definitely quarrel for the crown prince, and it will be a headache to think about ......it."

Li Qing frowned: "What did I tell you before?" ”

"I haven't forgotten, I said that the prince asked me to bring it when he was a child." Zhu Jianshen said, "But I didn't want to make him the prince." ”

"This ...... And why? ”

"You don't know, he... His mother is not Han. Zhu Jianshen said, "It was the original big vine... Yao of the Gorge Rebellion.. Clansman, Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future Son of Heaven...... This is criticism. ”

Li Qing thought about it, so he was not interested in watching it.

"Then I'm not going."

"No, I'm just going to Anle Hall, come with me." Zhu Jianshen smiled, "That little guy is super cute, hehe......"

Li Qing was speechless, he didn't want to see people show their babies, but he couldn't stand Zhu Jianshen's hard pull......

To say that Zhu Jianshen is also cautious enough, like a thief, not only changed his clothes, but also changed his car to an inconspicuous small sedan chair, and walked through the side doors of the palace, Li Qing looked funny.

"No, is it necessary?"

"Being cautious can avoid a lot of trouble, it's better than a group of people kneeling at the palace gate and begging for the founding of the country." Zhu Jianshen said, "Also, my two sons have died, and I have some ...... Worry. ”

Li Qing smiled, "Someone murdered?" ”

"It shouldn't be," Zhu Jianshen shook his head slightly, "Forget it, don't talk about these bad things." ”

Li Qing refused to give up and asked, "Do you have any suspicions?" ”

"Who do you suspect?" Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly, "The quack doctor who treated the prince, I tried and killed him, and he got nothing;

It is not in anyone's interest to murder the crown prince, and no one would do it. ”

Li Qing glanced at him and snorted, "If you really don't have the slightest doubt, why are you so worried?" ”

"I ......" Zhu Jianshen sighed and said, "I really don't have any doubts, but Zhen'er is ...... Alas, don't say it. ”

"How can you say half the talk?" Li Qing was dissatisfied, "Speak quickly, or I will shout." ”

"You ......" Zhu Jian was deeply angry, "Sure enough, it is not for nothing that you are hated." ”

"Come on, I'm not hated because of Daming?" Li Qing rolled her eyes, "Who does she suspect?" ”

Zhu Jian sighed deeply and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother! ”

"Huh?" Li Qing looked weird, and said in her heart: Wan Zhen'er's brain cramps? Does anyone believe this?

However, Zhu Jianshen's next words really made him suspicious.
