Zhang sloppily sighed, "You're such a jerk, you love to get into trouble..."
"Master, I'm thinking too much now." Li Qing couldn't bear that the old man still worried about himself despite his age, so he said openly, "It's not a bad thing to just watch the flowers bloom and fall, and enjoy the splendor of the world."
Zhang Sulu was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said happily: "You can think so, I am very happy as a teacher, as long as you have a clear conscience in everything."
Li Qing said respectfully, "Disciple, please be taught."
"Well, I'll stay for two more days before leaving this time."
"Okay Master." Li Qing smiled and nodded, "By the way, Master, have anyone from the imperial court come to your door?"
He knew that Zhu Di had never stopped searching for Zhu Yunwen.
At first, Lao Zhu was able to send Jin Yiwei here to find this place, but Zhu Di may not be able to do so now.
"I've been here before." Zhang said with a sloppy smile, "I've been here twice, but they didn't recognize me at all. They just regarded me as an old farmer. Then I showed them a 'clear' way."
"..." Li Qing asked, "What about Jianwen?"
"I made a dark room underground in the Taoist temple for easy hiding. They have never seen Xiao Zhu." Zhang said sloppily, "Don't worry, Xiao Zhu will not be exposed if you have a good teacher. Now he is also my apprentice. I
I will protect him."
Li Qing felt relieved when he heard this.
In this way, this can be regarded as an explanation to Lao Zhu.
"Let Master worry about it."
"You can't say that. It's nice to have someone who talks well." Zhang said with a sloppy smile, "Otherwise it would be boring to stay alone in the mountains. Xiao Zhu is a kind-hearted and filial kid. He is much better than you."
…
In the next few days, Li Qing helped Zhu Yunwen cultivate a vegetable garden and went to the mountains with his master to collect herbs. He enjoyed it very much.
After staying for less than half a month, Zhang's sloppy intimacy wore off and he began to find fault with Li Qing.
Li Qing had no choice but to say goodbye.
"Master, junior brother, I'm leaving."
Zhu Yunwen: "Brother, walk slowly."
Zhang Slutty: "Let's go, let's go."
Li Qing: "..."
…
————
Back in the capital, Li Qing and Zhu Di reported in and rested at home for a few days before officially going to work.
Xiaopang has worked very hard in the past few years, and his mental state has obviously deteriorated a lot.
Li Qing advised: "If you can do it, let the emperor do it. If you can't, let the emperor do it. You are not the emperor yet, so there is no need to work so hard."
"I don't want to either!" Xiaopang said with a bitter smile, "But my dad is like that, what can I do? The most annoying thing is that he still doesn't get it right even after doing the work, who can I talk to for explanation?"
Li Qing pondered for a long time and finally told Xiaopang what Zhu Di was thinking.
"It's pretty much what I thought." Xiaopang wasn't too surprised. He had obviously expected it. He sighed, "He knows how to play with people."
"So, you don't have to feel too much pressure." Li Qing said with a smile, "Your father is taking care of you, so what do you have to worry about?"
Xiaopang shook his head gently, "The life of the people is hard now, but my father insists on going his own way and won't let the people rest. If I continue to slack off, the people will be even more miserable."
"Actually...the emperor did nothing wrong." Li Qing sighed, "If he doesn't do these things, you can't do them either."
Xiaopang nodded silently, "I understand the truth, but... I still want to do my best to make the people feel better."
After a pause, "Brother Qing, please give me some medicine. I've been a little weak during sex recently."
"..." Li Qingzhen was convinced, "Can't you give Ji'er a holiday?"
"I'm so tired all day long. If I don't enjoy anything anymore, what's the point of living?" Xiaopang said dissatisfied, "Are we not brothers anymore?"
Li Qing nodded angrily: "Sure, I'll open one for you."
As he spoke, he wrote down a prescription by dividing three times five by two, "Boil three bowls of water into one bowl, once in the morning and once in the evening."
Xiaopang put away the prescription and said suspiciously, "Isn't it the medicine for sleepiness again this time?"
"It's definitely nourishing." Li Qing said helplessly, "However, you have to pay more attention to your body. Female sex is harmful to the body, so don't do it too often."
"Don't worry, I understand." Xiaopang smiled, "By the way, my father is planning to take action against Wala. You should go and persuade him. We need to open a canal and build a capital, but the treasury cannot support it.
I made a lot of money from my overseas voyages, but I can't afford to spend it like this."
Li Qing asked: "Not long after the attack on the Tatars, why did the emperor think of the attack on the Oara again?"
"After the Tatars suffered a setback, the Oara tribe took the opportunity to develop rapidly. Last month, according to the military intelligence report, the Oara army stationed at the Luqu River." Xiaopang said, "Father saw that they were peeking into the Central Plains, so he was going to give them a harsh blow.
of."
"In this case, they really should fight!"
Xiaopang smiled bitterly, "I'm not saying that we won't fight, but... we have to take it slow, right? The cost of an army of half a million going on an expedition is not a small sum."
Li Qing nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will persuade him later."
Xiaopang smiled happily and said: "Father is quite stubborn, and it's only your words that he can barely listen to."
Seeing that there were not many memorials left on the imperial case, he smiled and said, "It's not a lot of work today, let's go for a walk!"
"Well, okay."
As soon as the two of them came out of the royal study, they met the fat little boy.
"My son pays homage to his father." Zhu Zhanji bowed respectfully, and then raised his hand to Li Qing, "Mr. Li."
Today, Zhu Zhanji is fourteen years old. His face still retains the childishness of a boy, but his behavior reveals maturity.
Li Qing returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Didn't the grandson of the emperor learn martial arts from the emperor today?"
"Grandpa Huang is so busy, how can he lead me to perform martial arts every day!" Zhu Zhanji smiled and stood beside his father sensibly, walking with the two of them.
Xiaopang is different from Lao Zhu and Lao Si. He is a loving father and is very tolerant to his son. The relationship between father and son is very good.
"If you have nothing to do, go to your teacher's place more often. Also, get closer to the cabinet, be civilized and military, and be relaxed and relaxed..." Little Fatty kept talking.
Zhu Zhanji is the eldest grandson of the emperor and the grandson of the emperor. He can be said to be loved by all. The emperor's grandfather likes him, the queen's grandmother likes him, the prince's father and the princess's mother all like him.
Zhu Di taught me step by step, Xiaopang also taught by words and deeds, and the teacher was Dao Yan... he was a perfect match in every aspect.
In such an environment, Zhu Zhanji can be said to have improved morally, intellectually, physically, and artistically in all aspects, with almost no shortcomings!
The little fat man chattered for a while, then said to Li Qing, "You can also give him a few pointers."
"..." Li Qing nodded in amusement and said some "big truths".
Zhu Zhanji has a gentle personality, he has no rebelliousness at this age, and he is open-minded and accepts teachings.
The three of them walked slowly, chatting and laughing all the way, and the atmosphere was harmonious. They didn't end the conversation until they met Zhu Di.
Whenever Zhu Di saw Li Qing and Xiaopang making out, he felt unhappy. Now that his eldest grandson seemed to have been abducted, he felt even more depressed.
He didn't have a good face either, so he caught the good boy and gave him a lesson.
Xiaopang has become accustomed to it. He apologizes on his lips, but he doesn't think so in his heart.
When Zhu Zhanji saw his father being scolded, he said a few good words for his father, and then Zhu Di gave up.
The relationship between a generation apart is vividly explained at this moment.
Zhu Di's attitude towards his grandson and towards his son are completely different, and his attitude can change very quickly.
Li Qingdu suspected that the fourth child had learned face-changing in Bashu.
"Zhanji, you and your father should go back first." Zhu Di sent the two men away, and then looked at Li Qing, "You have rested for so long this time, are you satisfied?"
"Your Majesty, haven't I already started working?" Li Qing said helplessly.
Zhu Di glanced at him sideways and said, "You have many bad ideas. Try to find a way to get more money. I want to go on the Northern Expedition."
"...No." Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, admonishing, "Your Majesty, you have to do things one by one, and eat the food one bite at a time. The people will not be able to bear it if you use too much force. Take a rest and slow down for a few seconds.
Year."
After a pause, "Isn't the Emperor committed to cultivating his great-grandson? In two years, when the great-grandson is older, wouldn't it be better to let him go and follow him during the war?"
When Zhu Di heard the second half, his expression softened slightly: "Okay, then just wait."
"Haha... Your Majesty is wise."
"Don't do this." Zhu Di glanced sideways at him, "Where did Xiu Mu go this time?"
Li Qing smiled and said: "Enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains and relax your mind."
"Fart, why don't you take your concubine with you when you go sightseeing?" Zhu Di asked suspiciously, "Honestly, did you go to your master Zhang Xianren's place?"
Li Qing was stunned and simply said: "His old man is gone."
"Ah?" Zhu Di said in surprise, "He is dead?"
Li Qing nodded bravely, "When I'm old enough, that's all."
"It's such a pity." Zhu Di looked regretful, "I originally wanted to get some elixir from him."
"If there are no immortals in the world, how can there be elixirs?" Li Qing said with a smile.
Zhu Di nodded lightly and muttered: "So, Jianwen probably wasn't kidnapped by him. Damn, where did this guy go?"
He was a little miserable. One day he couldn't find Jianwen, and he felt unsteady. He always felt that the country might change hands at any time.
"Maybe he has died in a corner, or maybe he was buried in the sea of fire and turned into ashes." Li Qing consoled him, "The fire was so big that day, it is not unusual for him to be burned to ashes. Why do you bother yourself, Your Majesty?"
?”
"If you are alive, you want to see a person, if you are dead, you want to see a corpse." Zhu Di said with squinted eyes, "I can't sleep well at night if I can't find him."
This has become his heartache, and Li Qing can't persuade him with just a few words.
Li Qing changed the subject: "Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of a way to make money. Although I don't make much money, it is better than nothing."
"What is it?" Zhu Di fell into the trap as expected. What he lacks most now is money.
Li Qing said seriously: "Publish the Yongle Grand Ceremony and then distribute it."
Printing technology has been quite perfect in this era, and it is not difficult to print the Yongle Dadian.
"Your Majesty, if such a masterpiece is just left there to gather ashes, it will not be worth the loss. Although the Emperor has allowed officials to read it, it can only be seen by a small number of officials in the capital, and it has not been widely disseminated."
Zhu Di pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "Yongle Dadian has 30 and 70 million words, how easy is it to publish it?"
"Take your time." Li Qing said with a smile, "You can print a few dozen copies first, and then make more fonts when you make money."
"But who will buy it?" Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Even if I don't consider the court's dignity, I still think this is a loss-making deal."
"There are so many people buying it. If it is produced by the royal family, the wealthy gentry will definitely flock to it." Li Qing said with a smile, "There are also officials. The emperor can use the ceremony to offset his salary. Of course, it cannot be forced. Officials can choose freely."
He said confidently: "Just watch, Your Majesty, there will definitely be a large number of officials choosing the Yongle Ceremony, especially civil servants!"
Zhu Di was dubious, but there was no loss in trying, "Okay, then this matter will be taken care of by you."
