Chapter 163: God's Work

"Can't be slow......"

Li Qing sighed lightly and said, "The giant ship of Daming is too big, the ship is difficult to turn around, and it will be too late when the problem is in front of you." ”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten." ”

"You have such a strong taste?" Zhu Jianshen shook his wit.

"You're just underwhelming."

"You are presumptuous again, no matter what I say, I am also your king." Zhu Jianshen was dissatisfied, "It's really ...... There is no condescension at all. ”

Li Qing sneered and shook his head: "Don't be poor with you, let's go." ”

"Wait a minute."

"Anything else?"

Zhu Jianshen asked: "Japan's state affairs, will you go back to Daming, right?" ”

"Japan is just the first stop, and I'm going to go to Ryukyu, Korea, Cochin and other countries later." Li Qing thought for a moment, "If the situation allows, I will go to more distant places." ”

"Your old bones, can you withstand it?" Zhu Jianshen frowned.

Li Qing smiled: "I've been here for so many years, what's so unbearable, I'm used to it." ”

Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something more, but Li Qing had already walked away.

"This guy is really getting more and more presumptuous......" Zhu Jianshen muttered, he was very unhappy when he didn't hear those three words.

Afternoon.

Zhu Youzhu handed in the answer sheet, which was barely decent, but his attitude was correct.

Li Qing is quite satisfied.

He made targeted revisions, corrected, guided, and further taught him the way of kingship.

There is no son to say, it is all the way of governing the country and the art of the emperor.

Zhu Youzhu didn't understand it very well, so he simply wrote it down in a small notebook, and at the same time, he gradually adapted to this fast-paced way of lecturing.

As the saying goes: if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods.

Although Zhu Youzhu didn't understand it very well, compared to another Mr. Li's class, he could feel that this Mr. Li was at a higher level.

If you don't understand it now, you will always understand it in the future...... Zhu Youzhu thought secretly, while trying to take notes.

In the blink of an eye, days passed.

Li Qing offered his farewell.

Although Zhu Jianshen was reluctant, he also had to focus on the overall situation, and set up a table and banquet for Li Qingyang.

At the banquet, Zhu Youzhu also came to participate.

The emperor, the crown prince, a current king, a future king, the specifications are not high.

"Mr. Li, when will you come to Jingshi again?" Zhu Youzhu was a little reluctant.

He is seven years old, and he can distinguish between good and bad, this Mr. Li is harsh and violent, but he understands that Mr. Li is for his good.

This morning, I listened to the class of the prodigy Mr. Li again, and he listened to it very easily, but he also felt that there was a little less taste.

"I'll see you soon." Li Qing smiled and said, "Don't slack off, otherwise, I won't be polite at that time." ”

"When the time comes, I will definitely hand in an answer sheet that satisfies you, sir." Zhu Youzhu said confidently.

"So, a word?"

"It's a deal!" Zhu Youzhu nodded.

Zhu Jianshen raised his wine glass and said seriously: "This time, you must take care." ”

"yes, okay."

Li Qing raised his glass and touched him, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Now that the situation in the court has stabilized, Zhu Jianshen is also a hero, he has nothing to worry about, he can let go of his hands and feet without reservation, and turn it upside down!

Li Qing left, and went to his business again......

~

The day after he left, Li Hong came to Jingshi.

After arriving in Beijing, Li Hong learned that his godfather had come back and had just left.

He felt very regretful, but he didn't chase it, just sighed, and came to the palace gate with a 'gift' to ask to see the emperor.

The eldest brother didn't let him wait long, and Li Hong was soon summoned.

Qianqing Palace.

After the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, after a few simple greetings, Li Hong took the lead in getting to the point.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from the Marquis of Yongqing."

"Gifts?" Zhu Jianshen wondered, "He just left yesterday, didn't he say anything about it?" ”

Li Hong explained: "The emperor will know when he looks at it, he said, this is what was promised to you before." ”

Zhu Jianshen was curious, he really couldn't remember what Li Qing promised him.

"Open it and take a look." He raised his chin.

Xiao Huangmen stepped forward to open the wooden box, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, it's a book." ”

Zhu Jianshen was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had indeed told Li Qing about this before, Li Qing knew a lot of secrets of the court situation through Yu Qian's relationship, and he asked Li Qing to write a book at that time......

After all these years, he forgot about this stubble.

"How did you send it?" Zhu Jianshen was puzzled, "Hasn't he been away from Jinling for a long time?" ”

Li Hong sneered and said, "Godfather has already written it, but it's just ...... The one who delayed the progress and only recently completed it. ”

Zhu saw deep understanding and waved his hand, "You don't need to wait here, let's retreat." ”

"The slave and maid are gone." Several slaves and maidservants withdrew from the main hall.

Zhu Jianshen then asked, "Do they want to come back?" ”

Now that he has completely taken power, he is not worried that the Emperor Taishang will take away his power when he returns, and after so many years, he also understands the Emperor's intentions.

His father, the Emperor, had no intention of taking the throne for a long time.

From the perspective of being a son of man, Zhu Jianshen did not reject taking him back.

Li Hong shook his head lightly: "They like their current life very much and don't want to ...... At least not want to come back now. ”

Li Hong didn't say anything to death, after all, his mother-in-law is not in good health, in case ...... With the affection of Lao Taishan, he will definitely bring his beloved wife back.

Zhu Jianshen was not surprised, after so many years, if he really wanted to come back, he would have told himself through Li Qing a long time ago.

He just sighed and didn't continue the conversation.

"How's the sailor training?"

"It's time to fight." Li Hong nodded, "Weichen came this time, I also want to tell the emperor about this, there are rich businessmen in the Jiangnan area who have violated the imperial decree and smuggled goods to Japan, do you want to ......?" ”

Zhu Jian pondered for a moment and said: "Clearing the smuggling caravan will not make the rich businessmen give up the huge profits brought by taking risks, and it will also make some people in Japan rise to steal, I must first find out the scale, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision." ”

Li Hong was stunned and said in admiration: "The emperor is extremely worried, and the minister Meng Lang is worried." ”

"Huh? It's not Meng Lang, it's a matter of time before you pay off, you have to train well first, and there is a time for you to make meritorious contributions. Zhu Jianshen smiled and asked, "How many pirates are you confident to deal with at this stage?" ”

"This ......," Li Hong sneered, "I haven't really fought, and Wechen doesn't dare to let go of his wild words, but the minister has learned about the smuggling caravan from Japan, huh...... Our Daming Naval Division can fight against double the strength of the Japanese Invaders. ”

"Double?"

"Yes!" Li Hong said confidently, "Whether it is the warship, weapons, or the quality of the soldiers, our Daming Naval Division is far superior to the Japanese Kou." ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded lightly and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case...... In this way, you go back and start preparing for the battle.

Guns, artillery, buckshot, thunderbolts...... You make a list, I let the Firearms Bureau produce it quickly, don't be polite to me, if you don't fight, it's enough, once the war starts, you must win beautifully! Zhu Jianshen said, "In this way, we can shock people's hearts!" ”

"Obey." Li Hong's heart is hot.

After chatting about political affairs and making a list, it was almost noon.

Zhu Jianshen left Li Hong to dine in the palace, during which he cared about the living conditions of the emperor's last family, and asked Li Hong to convey on his behalf:

If you want to come back, you are always welcome!

After lunch, Li Hong said goodbye, his godfather was not there, he didn't have much to think about, and listened to the emperor's meaning, soon the sailor was going to fight, he didn't want to delay the training time.

Zhu Jianshen didn't keep him, but just asked him to prepare for battle, and said: The equipment will be transported to Jiangnan as soon as possible, and the training is with peace of mind.

In the end, he took out a thousand taels of gold.

Li Hong was flattered: "Your Majesty, the ministers have not made an inch......

"Who said it was for you?" Zhu Jianshen snorted, "This is Li Qing's money, he went to Japan, you can help bring it back to Jinling." ”

"That's right, the minister obeys." Li Hong smiled and roughly understood something.

~

After Li Hong left, Zhu Jianshen called someone to come, moved the big box into the inner hall, and began to observe......

"It's time to wait." Zhu Jianshen rubbed his hands, like an old bookworm who had been short of books for a long time and had found a masterpiece, and he couldn't be excited.

However, when he picked up the top one and opened it, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

"The fifteenth year of Hongwu, Xia?"

Zhu Jianshen looked stunned and muttered: "At that time, Yu Qian was not born yet. ”

He was puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Isn't this guy making nonsense?" ”

After thinking about it, Li Qing is not that kind of person.

"Or ...... Is he making a self-annotation based on the events in the record? Zhu Jianshen scratched his head, "This doesn't seem to make sense, since the actual record of Taizu to the actual record of Zhongzong, there are millions of words, can he see it?"

Even so, it should be from the first year of Hongwu, why from the fifteenth year of Hongwu......"

Zhu Jianshen was very confused, he poured out the entire book in the big box and compared them one by one, and found that the fifteenth year of Hongwu was indeed the first book, and there was no earlier year.

"Damn, since you started with the Hongwu Dynasty, why don't you start from the first year of Hongwu!!" Zhu Jianshen had an attack of obsessive-compulsive disorder and was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

After the impotent rage, one can only accept reality.

"Forget it, it's better than nothing, and it's fifteen years less, and it's not much of a big deal, so I'll make it up when he comes back next time." Zhu Jianshen sighed, and then continued to watch.

When I saw this, I was immersed in it......

Compared with the boring and dull records, what Li Qing wrote is much more exciting, not that the writing is good, but that it has a story, and has detailed annotations on the temple struggle, the implementation of national policies, major events, etc.

Just like ...... Personal experience is average.

Zhu Jianshen can be sure that Li Qing did not make up nonsense, because most of what was written in the book was recorded in the actual record, and after reading this, many unreasonable places and his confusion when reading the actual record were easily solved.

How did this guy do it?

Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but marvel.

"Good stuff, good stuff ......"

He forgot to sleep and eat, except for the last dynasty and dealing with the music, the rest of the time he stayed in the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace to read, and the beauties of the harem couldn't take care of it.

This kind of hard-working spirit directly teaches the scholars who study hard in the cold window to be ashamed.

Half a month later, Wang Zhi returned to Beijing.

Only then did Zhu Jianshen come out of the masterpiece and began to liquidate the operation.

The case was found out by Wang Zhi, so it is natural to make him majestic, which can also help him attract firepower.

Zhu Jianshen had already calculated these.
