Small courtyard.

Li Qing, Wang Shouren have a drink.

"Sir, where have you been all these days?"

"Dealt with some private matters," Li Qing said, "What about you, how is the prince's guidance?" ”

"How can it be so fast?" Wang Shouren's face was speechless, "You are really an ordinary child when you are the prince?" He's smart, didn't he say it before, he won't be easily misled, and it's the same when he guides. ”

Wang Shouren took a sip of wine, "Our prince is talented and intelligent, and he is quick-witted, although he is greedy for fun, but his heart is clear, he has his own opinions, and he is also very confident, he is not the kind of three-good student, what the teacher teaches, he recognizes." ”

Speaking of this, he sneered:

"That Yang Tinghe, I haven't seen him brow stretched."

"What about you?"

"I, I'll read with a prince!"

Li Qing's face darkened, "It's not because you don't care, this point, you are not as good as others, people are worried, because people take this as a top priority, but ......what about you?"

"Okay, okay, stop, stop." Wang Shouren's head was big for a while, and he smiled bitterly, "Sir, let's just say...... You've got to be reasonable, right? ”

"Where am I being unreasonable?"

"......" Wang Shouren was helpless, "Sir, let's say a word of conscience, if I change someone else, do you think I will easily agree to be the prince's companion?" ”

"Uh, this," Li Qing sneered, "What's the relationship between the two of us?" ”

Wang Shouren nodded with a smile: "It is precisely because of our relationship that I am so happy, but you have to give me some time, right?"

You can do it, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, you will see the effect immediately, how can it be so easy! ”

"Well, it's me who is wrong." Li Qing raised his glass and said, "I'll punish you for drinking." ”

Li Qing drank it all, put down the wine glass, and said seriously: "Xiaoyun, next, I will be busy for a long time, the Jingshi really has no time to take care of it, the prince is there, ......"

"Don't I know the importance of the prince's upbringing?" Wang Shouren said with a smile, "Sir, don't worry, I'm not a person who is afraid of trouble." ”

Li Qing nodded: "Also, now that it has been eleven years of Hongzhi, you have to pay attention to reading, how to say it next year, you also have to be a Jinshi, even if you are from the same Jinshi." ”

"I try."

"It's not as much as possible, it's a must!" Li Qing snorted, "This is what you promised me, if you can't pass the exam, when I come back, I will really beat you." ”

Wang Shouren: "...... Got it. ”

Only then did Li Qing put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Come, drink." ”

"You always like to base your happiness on my pain." Wang Shouren's face was depressed.

"I'm doing it for you, too." Li Qing smiled weakly, "Okay, I should also leave, it's rare that you are idle today, let's not get drunk and not return." ”

"Leaving again?" Wang Shouren frowned, "Didn't you say last time that you would have to rest for a while when you came back from Jiaozhi?" ”

Li Qing spread his hands, "Aren't I resting?" ”

“…… Whatever you want. Wang Shouren also lost his temper, "Where are you going this time?" ”

Li Qing took a sip of wine, his eyes shining, "Swim in the sea!" ”

"You think you're a fish!" Wang Shouren couldn't help teasing, shook his head with a wry smile, raised his glass and said, "That's the case, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." ”

Jinling.

Li Qingfeng came back.

Li Hong is at home, and the father and son, who have been separated for a long time, are finally reunited.

"When did you come back?" Li Qing looked at his godson who had more and more gray hair, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Hong'er, you are fifty-four this year, right?" ”

"Godfather has such a good memory." Li Hong nodded and sighed: "Time flies so fast, for a while, you have to get old ......."

He hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The child has only been back for more than ten days. When he came back, he gave the emperor a lesson, and it was estimated that within half a month, the emperor's will would come. ”

"Well, he'll say yes." Li Qing said.

Li Hong nodded, he was very excited, and said, "Godfather, this time, our father and son are together!" ”

"Together!" Li Qing also smiled.

After a pause, he said, "It's not an overnight thing, and it's not more than once, we have time." ”

Li Qing said happily: "The Daming Sailor has been silent for too long, this time, just like the Three Treasures went to the West in the past, let the overseas countries see the strength of our Daming." ”

Li Hong laughed: "Even if the sailors don't go to sea, they still dare to have a heart of disobedience?" ”

"That's what I said, but, it's different, hearsay, it's far less impactful than seeing it with my own eyes!" Li Qing said, "If the dragon sleeps for too long, it will make people lose their awe. ”

At this time, Zhu Wanqing came in with tea.

said sullenly: "Your father and son are at ease, have you considered my feelings?" ”

The two of them didn't speak, just laughed dryly.

Zhu Wanqing snorted: "Take me this time." ”

"Wanqing, don't make trouble." Li Hongyu said with a smile, "You still need to run the family's industry, what will you do if you leave?" ”

"Xiao Hao has long been able to take charge on his own, and I am the same when I am not at home." Zhu Wanqing said, "Uncle Li, for so many years, Brother Hong and I have been getting together less and leaving more, and now that we are finally free, take me with you." ”

Before Li Qing could speak, Li Hong spoke first.

"Wanqing, this time I am going to sea with troops, how can I bring my family?"

"Shut up, Uncle Li, you say." Zhu Wanqing was pitiful, "Uncle Li, my niece is almost fifty!" ”

Li Qing was ashamed, silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, take you." ”

"Godfather, this is a taboo!"

"You are also the chief officer of the Naval Division, and you don't have any authority at all?" Li Qing snorted, "Don't be blatant, who dares to say it?" ”

"That's it." Zhu Wanqing hurriedly complimented, "Li Hong, are you okay?" ”

Li Hong: "......"

"Daddy, mother, I'm going too!"

"Get out!!"

The three of them roared in unison.

Then, they all froze again.

Li Hong asked, "Xue'er, you just ...... Heard it? ”

Li Qing secretly blamed himself and went back to his home, he even let go of the most fundamental defense, it was too careless.

Otherwise, there will never be people outside the door without knowing it.

"Actually, I already knew, but I just pretended not to know." Li Xue'er rolled her eyes and said, "Otherwise, you can kill people and kill your mouth." ”

“……”

Li Hong sighed and said in a deep voice: "Don't say a word outside." ”

"I understand." Li Xue'er nodded, "So, can you take me?" ”

"Roll !!"

Li Xue'er was about to cry, "Grandpa Li ......"

"Don't call me grandpa, I don't have a ...... like you Granddaughter! Li Qing almost snorted and said, "Getting married as soon as possible is the top priority." ”

Zhu Wanqing even pulled out the willow branch and sneered.

"You're ruthless." Li Xue'er stomped her feet and left with hatred.

Zhu Wanqing sighed and said, "Brother Hong, Uncle Li, what's the matter with Xiao Xue'er?" ”

"If she doesn't marry, if she doesn't marry, I'll raise her for the rest of my life." Li Hong is not very repulsive to his daughter's reluctance to marry.

"Is there a father like you?" Zhu Wanqing glared at him fiercely, "Uncle Li, what do you say?" ”

"I didn't ...... either" Li Qing paused and said, "Before leaving, I'm going to go to Wudang Mountain, why don't you let her pick there?" ”

"Huh? Taoist? ”

The old couple looked sluggish.

After a long time, Zhu Wanqing took the lead in coming back to her senses, gritted her teeth and said, "It's not impossible!" ”

"Wanqing, come slowly." The old father was a little worried, "Godfather, this is ...... Is it reliable? ”

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "As long as they look at each other, it's nothing." ”

"Can the Taoist priests of Wudang Mountain marry wives and have children?" Li Hong asked.

"Hey, isn't that just my word?" Li Qing said with a smile, "Of course you can't do it on the mountain, if the other party is willing, you can ask him to go down the mountain." ”

After a pause, Li Qing added: "It's also a matter of my words, in fact, my little junior brothers are still okay in terms of character, besides, our little Xue'er is not bad." ”

"In that case...... Li Hong frowned, "The seniority will be messed up!" ”

Zhu Wanqing scolded: "When is it, are you still thinking about this?" ”

“…… Okay, then try it. Li Hong nodded helplessly.

Li Qing said: "In this case, then I will take her, by the way, Hong'er, after the emperor's will comes, how long will it take for you to mobilize the water master?" ”

Li Hong groaned: "Fu. I can't rush to build there, I can only transfer from Jiangnan, and the time to go to sea is basically fixed in March and April of the year, September and October, because I have to catch the monsoon, and it is only the end of the month......

Li Hong said decisively: "Since my godfather said that the emperor will agree, then I will prepare first, in case I am in a hurry, in short, I must set sail before May!" ”

"Good!" Li Qing said, "I will come back in early April, try your best to prepare here, remember, although we are not rushing to fight, we must also be ready to fight!" ”

"Understood!" Li Hong said with a smile, "I'm really not afraid that there are not long eyes, so let's get battleship artillery, which one can be the enemy?" Hehe, you can't kill him! ”

"Godfather, I am not as good as you in land combat, but if you want to talk about water combat...... Hehe, you haven't seen that before. Li Hong said proudly, "It will definitely open your eyes!" ”

Li Qing did not refute.

Recruit Naier does not spend, the sea of fishing swept the Yuan court, the battle of Jingjing, beat Arutai, beat Mahamu...... He has been involved in too many wars, and they have all been large-scale wars.

However, he really didn't participate in the water war.

When Sanbao went to the West, he had the opportunity to be a prisoner or something, but the girls were still there at that time, how could he have the intention of going to sea?

It's not too late, though!

"Well, let's leave before May!" Li Qing laughed and said, "Remember to bring more shells!" ”

Li Hong also smiled: "At the beginning, Emperor Xianzong expanded the Firearms Bureau in Zhili in order to facilitate the supply of water divisions, as long as the emperor agrees to go to sea to raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, I will bring it all!"

Anyway, if you can't use it up, you can bring it back again. ”

He rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement, "I'm really looking forward to it!" ”

Zhu Wanqing pursed her lips: "Look at your smugness...... You like to fight so much, huh? ”

"Isn't this the prestige of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Hong sneered.

"Virtue." Zhu Wanqing also smiled, she was happy with her husband.

Li Qing also looks forward to shocking the countries and paving the way for the subsequent harvest of wealth......
