Zhu Di was very pleased with the good old man's compliments, and most of his unhappiness subsided.
Xie Jin followed closely behind him and said, "Your Majesty is so wise...!"
Then, Jin Youzi, Huang Huai, Yang Rong, and Yang Shiqi also shouted, "Well done," making Zhu Di, a semi-illiterate, embarrassed.
"Okay, hurry up and bring the book to me." Zhu Di couldn't wait.
"I obey the order." Xie Jin agreed happily, picked up his robe and rushed out.
Yang Shiqi and others were all human beings. Knowing that today's scene had aroused the emperor's suspicion, they immediately used the pretext of getting a book to escape.
After everyone left, Zhu Di regained his yin and yang aura, "Prince, how does it feel to supervise the country's governance?"
Xiaopang tentatively said: "Okay, okay."
"good?"
"That...can't?"
"No?" Zhu Di frowned even deeper.
Xiaopang was a little annoyed. He worked so hard, but what he got in return was his father's suspicion, "Father, are you looking for trouble?"
Zhu Di was shocked, and then laughed angrily: "How brave!"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Li Qing tried to persuade him and winked at Xiaopang repeatedly. However, Xiaopang was not afraid at all, "Li Qing, please don't worry. You'd better speak clearly today."
Li Qing was also shocked. This guy...could he have had diarrhea and pulled out his brain?
Before he could react, Zhu Di was already furious: "Zhu Gaochi, your mother's skin is itchy, aren't you?"
"If you want to beat me, then beat me. You are the father, you are the boss." Xiaopang said, "But after the beating, we have to have a good talk."
"I'm going to fuck you******..."
@#￥……
A quarter of an hour later, Xiaopang got up from the ground and dusted his robe, "Next, it's my turn now, right?"
"Good boy, you are going to heaven!" Zhu Di rolled up his sleeves, "Here, I will give you an arm."
Li Qing looked at this scene and felt that it seemed familiar.
"A gentleman talks but never takes action, let alone your father." Xiaopang sighed, "I just want to say a few sincere words to my father."
When Zhu Di saw that he didn't take action, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "Say it!"
"As the saying goes: Don't trust people when you doubt them, don't trust people when you employ them; if your father thinks that your son will affect your authority, just get rid of him." Xiaopang said seriously, "Actually, I don't care about this prince. It's better to let the second son do it;
He wants to be the prince, and his father likes him, so why not?"
Zhu Di was furious: "Presumptuous...!"
"Whatever you think." Xiaopang said, "From now on, I will no longer interfere in government affairs. That's it. I'm tired, so do whatever you want."
After that, he turned around and left.
Li Qing could see that Xiaopang was really heartbroken, so he quickly chased after him.
He persuaded in a low voice: "He is just like that, why should we be the same as him?"
After a pause, Huabing said, "Throughout the ages, there are many emperors who are jealous of their princes. What does this mean? It means you are capable..."
"Brother Qing, you don't need to say anything!"
Xiaopang's face was full of bitterness: "He either annoys the prince, he just annoys me. He talks about letting me handle the government affairs, but in his heart he is thinking about the second son. In fact, I know that he dislikes me for being fat and not looking good.
"
Looking at Xiaopang's lonely back, Li Qing was filled with anger. What was the fourth boy doing? Isn't he too bullying?
When he returned to the main hall, he saw that Zhu Di was still very angry. Li Qing was also holding his anger in his heart and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, why not bring the King of Han back!"
"What the hell are you farting?" Zhu Di scolded: "Why did you go there earlier? Now that the second brother has become a feudal lord, do you think this is of any use?"
Li Qing sighed: "Your Majesty, don't you even believe in your own son?"
"I don't believe those civil servants."
Li Qing smiled helplessly, "May I ask Your Majesty, who is more suitable to be the crown prince?"
Zhu Di was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Boss!"
Li Qing nodded and said thoughtfully: "In that case, it might not be a bad idea for the emperor to help the prince train the civil servants and take over the government with full authority."
"You...!" Zhu Di was about to get angry when he saw Jin and others carrying the box in, but gave up angrily.
Xie Jin opened the box and said proudly: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Zhu Di glanced at it, frowned and said: "Don't tell me, so many people have been practicing for so long and only have this little book."
"How can that be possible?" Xie Jin said with a smile, "These are just catalogues, a total of sixty volumes."
After a pause, "The canon has a total of 22,937 volumes, divided into 11,095 volumes. The total number of words is about 30 and 70 million. The entire canon can fit into a room.
."
Hearing such results, Zhu Di, who was always demanding, couldn't help but look satisfied.
Li Qing was also secretly stunned. More than 10,000 volumes and 370 million words were simply unimaginable.
This is not a post-generation Internet article, it is just a few words, these are all practical information!
While Zhu Di was flipping through the pages, Li Qing also glanced at it. Not to mention the content, the words alone were pleasing to the eye.
Good stuff, good stuff... Li Qing swallowed hard and thought to himself: "After a few generations of the fourth generation, I will have to find a way to steal this thing."
——The Yongle Ceremony is definitely a treasure!
He didn't want this book to be lost, but he vaguely remembered that the Yongle Dadian seemed to have been copied again by an old Taoist during the Jiajing period, and the original copy was lost.
Those Yongle Grand Ceremonies circulated in later generations are all Jiajing copies.
Li Qing made up his mind to get ahead of the old Taoist.
As an emperor, Zhu Di was naturally happy to have built such a masterpiece. Even if he was not interested in civil servants, he also gave generous rewards to Xie Jin and others.
Everyone is happy.

Xiaopang is more transparent than Zhu Biao, and he is also stronger than Zhu Biao. After that day, he really gave up his game, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, but did not work.
No one can persuade me!
Zhu Di soon tasted the pain and understood the benefits of a good old man, but he couldn't help but let Li Qing persuade him.
But Xiaopang tasted the sweetness and said: It is impossible to manage politics, so just eat and drink to maintain life, then play music, and then dance...
His strike lasted for three months, and Zhu Di got really angry and caught him and beat him up.
But Xiaopang has high defense. Unlike the third child, he loses half his life every time he is beaten. After being beaten, he still goes his own way. Zhu Di has no temper at all.
However, these days when Little Fatty is on strike are not without achievements, for example: several concubines are pregnant with babies.
This can be regarded as spreading the branches and leaves of the Ming Dynasty clan.
Yongle fifth year, June.
Zhu Di, who had been busy for more than half a year, finally broke through his defenses and gave in to Xiaopang.
Xiaopang didn't agree, but instead persuaded him to take the second child back, which made Zhu Di so angry that his teeth hurt.
Zhu Di was so angry that he punished Xiao Pang by confining him to the East Palace and not being allowed to go out.
Xiaopang didn't take it seriously, he was too lazy to move anyway.
In July, Zhu Di reduced the expenses of the East Palace again, but Xiaopang remained strong.
In August, Zhu Di strictly ordered the imperial kitchen to prohibit the provision of meat to the East Palace. This time it was considered that Xiaopang's life was strangled, but he was very stubborn and still gritted his teeth and persisted.
In September, Zhu Di fell ill, so seriously ill that he couldn't get out of bed.
Now, no matter how tough the little fat guy was, he had to soften up and come to Qianqing Palace to visit.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
"No, no courtesy." Zhu Di was lying on the bed with a towel on his head, looking like he was about to die.
"Gao Chi, look at how tired your father is. If your father were to suffer, your mother would not be alive." Xu Miaoyun's face was full of sadness and she complained, "Can't you be considerate of him?"
The couple are still acting here with me... Xiaopang rolled his eyes, he is not a fool, he is not that easy to coax, "Why doesn't your father let Li Qing treat you?"
"Alas... I'm getting older, and it's hard for anyone to help me!" Zhu Di groaned, "I'm afraid my father won't live long, so you have to hurry up and get familiar with the government."
"Your father is speaking to you." Xu Miaoyun helped, "Why don't you kneel down and listen to the order?"
Xiaopang was speechless: "Mother, am I your biological child?"
"You kid... is this fake?" Xu Miaoyun pretended to be displeased.
"Then why did you join forces with my father to trick me?" Xiaopang said dissatisfied, "Don't you know what my father wants?"
Xu Miaoyun said hurriedly: "Don't worry, my mother will definitely be on your side. This position of prince belongs to you."
"I don't care!"
"Hey~ you kid..." Zhu Di immediately stood up to beat him, but his wife glared back and said weakly, "Don't be rude to your mother."
Xiaopang was helpless. The younger generation looked at the older generation much more clearly than the older generation looked at the younger generation. He knew very well who I was and really didn’t want to take over this class.
"Father, it's not that the son is unfilial, it's that the son is not suitable for the position of prince."
"It's suitable, it's so suitable." Zhu Di said hurriedly, "You will take the throne as the crown prince, and my father will not be the second choice."
The reason why Lao Si compromised like this was not because he was lazy, but because he wanted to reorganize his military equipment and prepare for the Northern Expedition.
Government affairs must be handled by someone who is capable and fully trusted.
Zhu Di is also a human being, and he is really too busy.
Xiaopang wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Xiaohuangmen hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zheng and Eunuch Zheng have returned from the West."
"Sambo is back?" Zhu Di cheered up, pulled off the towel on his forehead, stood up and walked out, "Where is he?"
Xu Miaoyun followed immediately and said happily: "Your Majesty, Sanbao wrote a letter two months ago saying that he made a lot of money this time. Now, the Ming army will have enough money for the Northern Expedition."
"Haha..." Zhu Di laughed heartily, "Speaking of which, the reason why we were able to go to sea smoothly was thanks to the Queen's advice."
"Oh, it's the emperor's great talent and great strategy."
…
The couple talked and laughed and left the Qianqing Palace happily, leaving the little fat man alone in the wind.
