Zhu Di glanced at everyone with his cold eyes and chuckled: "Do you have any opinions?"
Of course the ministers have opinions, but no one dares to raise them even though they are serious.
On the one hand, they were frightened by the power of the emperor, but more importantly, what was said in the court was legitimate, and they had no legitimate reason to object.
Moreover, anyone who dares to speak out against the situation at this time is tantamount to asking for trouble and will definitely be included in the key land clearing targets.
In the officialdom, everyone is a human being, and they naturally understand this truth.
"Since there is no objection, then implement it as soon as possible." Zhu Di smiled and said, "Xia Yuanji, the Ministry of Household Affairs will take the lead in handling this matter."
"I obey." Xia Yuanji said yes with his hands in hand, a look of joy on his face.
The implementation of this policy will definitely alleviate the financial problems of the national treasury to a great extent.
Zhu Di added, "The prince is kind and wise. There were some misunderstandings two days ago. From now on, the prince will still assist in state affairs."
After wielding the big stick, you must also give some sweet dates. The best way is to combine kindness and power.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil servants became much better.
This was the end of a great court meeting, but Li Qing understood that with the shrewdness of a civil servant, he could quickly think of legitimate reasons to oppose the implementation of the policy, and it would take at least a few days to argue.
…
After the morning court, Li Qing did not leave the palace, but followed Zhu Di to Qianqing Palace to diagnose and treat Xu Miaoyun.
Xu Miaoyun's physical condition is indeed not good, and a large part of the reason is due to having too many children.
In addition to the fourth son who died in infancy, she had three princes and four princesses, giving birth to eight children in one person. She gave birth to more than half of Zhu Di's children, which undoubtedly caused a great physical burden on her.
"How is the Queen?" Zhu Di no longer looked majestic in the court, his face was full of nervousness, "Is it okay?"
Li Qing frowned and thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription, "One prescription each in the morning, noon and evening. Keep taking the medicine."
Seeing that Li Qing did not answer directly, Zhu Di couldn't help but darken his expression, and had a vague premonition in his heart.
Xu Miaoyun chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I am aware that it is not a serious problem."
Hearing this, Zhu Di looked better and said, "Well, Queen, if you insist on taking the medicine, you will definitely get better."
After heaving a sigh of relief, Zhu Di stood up and said, "You should rest first. I have some state affairs to deal with. I will come see you after I'm done."
Xu Miaoyun nodded, "State affairs are important, Mo Yinchen and my concubine have missed the state affairs."
Zhu Di smiled, got up and walked out.
Seeing this, Li Qing cupped his hands and retreated.
…
After walking out of the hall, Zhu Di's expression became solemn, "How is the Queen's health?"
"Not too optimistic."
"There's nothing you can do?"
Li Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I am not omnipotent."
Zhu Di felt sad for a moment, "How long can the queen live?"
"This minister can't guarantee it." After what happened to Queen Ma, Li Qing learned a lesson.
"Five years?"
"..."
"Three years?"
Li Qing remained silent. In his opinion, it would only last a year or two, or even shorter.
Zhu Di was annoyed, "I want to know the answer. Is it so difficult?"
"Your Majesty, those who judge the life and death, except Yama of the underworld, are charlatans and liars." Li Qing said helplessly, "I really can't give you the answer to your Majesty, but I will try my best to heal the empress."
Zhu Di was silent for a moment and waved his hand impatiently, "You first go to the Ministry of War to get familiar with it. Regarding the Queen's condition, you should think about countermeasures."
Li Qing nodded, said goodbye and left.

Ministry of War Yamen.
As soon as Li Qing arrived, the doctor in charge of the Ministry of War greeted him and greeted him with great courtesy.
In officialdom, all that matters is appearance. No matter what these people think in their hearts, they can get by in terms of face.
After a few simple greetings, Li Qing became familiar with government affairs.
Now that he has an official official position, Li Qing has less leisure time. Apart from anything else, he will have to attend morning meetings every day, which is really painful for him who loves to sleep in.
After working hard for a long time, he went to the afternoon again. Only then did Li Qing have some leisure time and go home for lunch.
In the afternoon, Li Qing did not go to the Ministry of War, but studied how to diagnose and treat Xu Miaoyun.
Unlike Queen Ma, Xu Miaoyun was treated by him from the time he first became ill, and there was no situation where a minor illness would become a serious illness.
To be precise, Xu Miaoyun had no obvious symptoms. Instead, she had given birth to too many children, which had led to physical depletion, excessive vitality, and all her internal organs were deficient.
Over the years, despite having good food and clothing and taking nourishing products, I could only get relief.
Like Queen Ma, Queen Xu also plays the role of a virtuous wife. Only she can control the stubborn ass of the fourth child.
After much deliberation, Li Qing decided to use acupuncture and secret Qi treatment to prolong her life as much as possible.
After finalizing the treatment plan, Li Qing gave the three girls a closer look. Fortunately, they had no underlying diseases.
Application time.
Xiaopang came to visit. The two of them had just chatted for a few words when Hanhan also came.
Today's Hanhan has changed his behavior from the past. Not only is he polite to Li Qing, but he is also extremely polite to his eldest brother, who he looks down upon.
Zhu Gaoxu uttered one sentence here and another here and there, but almost all of them were talking about the past and the love between brothers.
Seeing this situation, both of them vaguely guessed it, and the little fat one said, "Second brother, are you having some difficulty?"
"Ang." Zhu Gaoxu smiled sheepishly, "Brother, my father said that I would rule Yunnan. I... going there is tantamount to exile. Can you please beg my father for mercy?"
"That's easy to talk about." Li Qing took over, "The King of Han doesn't want to go to Yunnan. Prince, just talk to the Emperor and give the King of Han a new fiefdom."
After a pause, "Don't worry, King Han, your subordinates will also give you advice."
Zhu Gaoxu's face froze, and he said with a smile, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome~" Li Qing said with a smile.
Zhu Gaoxu was angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to ask Xiaopang for help, "Brother, are you annoying your brother?"
"That's it, why would eldest brother bother you?" Xiaopang said sternly, "We are brothers. It's not too late for eldest brother to like you."
"Brother is so kind." Zhu Gaoxu suppressed his nausea and looked touched.
The brotherly love is deep and touching!
Unexpectedly, Xiaopang continued: "What do you think, second brother, of Qingzhou?"
"Ah? This..." Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded. He didn't want to go to Suzhou, let alone Qingzhou. What he wanted was to stay in Jinling and compete for the position of prince.
His naive heart is known to everyone on the road.
Li Qing would not let him succeed, so he continued, "Qingzhou is good, that's it. I will make a recommendation to the emperor tomorrow morning."
He looked like one of his own people and said grandly: "No thanks, King Han. These are all things I should do as a subordinate."
"You..." Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Thinking about Jindouzi, he became even more angry.
He understood that there was no hope for Li Qing and his boss, so he tossed his sleeves and left angrily.
After he left, Li Qing said, "The King of Han's joining the vassal state will be of great benefit to him, you, and the Ming Dynasty."
Xiaopang nodded and sighed: "Yes, Daming can't mess with it anymore."
The two chatted for a long time, talking about the queen's condition and new national policies. It was not until late in the evening that Xiaopang got up and left.

The next day, morning.
When the emperor stepped into the Golden Palace, all the officials shouted long live. After the ceremony, Li Qing was the first to leave.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
Zhu Di raised his chin and said, "My dear, please speak."
"The prince becomes a vassal when he comes of age. This has always been the case. Now that the King of Han has passed his thirtieth year, he is still staying in the capital. It is unreasonable!" Li Qing said loudly, "I think it is better for the King of Han to become a vassal as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court looked at him sideways.
The generals frowned, but the civil servants were happy.
The Minister of Rites took the lead and said, "What Li Shangshu said makes sense, and I second my opinion."
"I also second the proposal." The Minister of the Ministry of Justice followed closely.
Then, the two ministers supported their boss, and immediately the officials, households, workers, three ministers, and ministers all supported him.
Finally, among the six ministries, the imperial censor and more than 70% of the civil servants agreed.
Publicly and privately, they didn't want the King of Han to come to power!
The military generals felt a little uncomfortable, but they did not object fiercely. They had no reason to object. In addition, the emperor's grandson was still a warrior, so it was not unacceptable for the king of Han to accept the vassalship.
"This..." Zhu Di hesitated.
Although he had promised Li Qing before and was indeed prepared to let his second son join the feudal clan, when it came to this moment, he was still a little reluctant to give up.
Firstly, he liked Zhu Gaoxu from the bottom of his heart, and secondly, he didn't want to break this balance.
The boss does the work, and the second boss supervises the boss. In his opinion, this model is a healthy court structure.
Li Qing knew what Zhu Di was thinking, but at present, the Ming Dynasty could no longer suffer internal conflicts, so he appealed again, "I beg the emperor to ask the king of Han to grant vassal status!"
The civil servants followed closely behind, echoing incessantly.
At the same time, the eyes they looked at Li Qing became friendly.
We are our own people, we are our own people, we should move around more in the future...
