Zhu Di is indeed old. It is not only him who is old, but also his political soil.
Of course, the most important thing is because of the variable Li Qing, which led to a series of changes, such as clearing land for farming, dividing the land into acres, and people from the south moving north...
These policies seriously infringed on the interests of officials and gentry, which caused conflicts to break out in advance.

Yongqinghou Mansion.
Li Qing arrived home on the front foot, and Zhu Zhanji arrived on the back foot.
"Your grandfather has told me everything about the court situation." Li Qing sighed, "It's really not optimistic!"
"Then what good solution do you have?" Zhu Zhanji was a little anxious.
Li Qing rolled his eyes, "He doesn't have any good ideas, what can I do?
Come on hard!"
"Are you forceful?" Zhu Zhanji's eyes narrowed, and then he frowned and said, "At this moment... Isn't it inappropriate?"
"You are still thinking about these things at this time?" Li Qing snorted, "If Mongolia is unified, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace in its borders. Compared with this, any other things can be compromised."
"I understand, but..." Zhu Zhanji said worriedly, "These people are already colluding. If we really push them..."
"Don't worry, I will take action!"
Li Qing spoke calmly, with a high level of force.
Zhu Zhanji was relieved a little and said curiously: "Uncle Qing, if you have any ideas, tell me so that I can feel at ease."
After a pause, he said, "I don't have anything to do with it. The main thing is my dad. You don't know, but he is worried right now... he only eats four bowls of rice in one meal."
"...It's quite a lot." Li Qing was speechless, "Go back and tell your father, don't worry too much, the sky won't fall."
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji nodded sadly, but still a little unwilling to do so, "Uncle Qing, what method are you going to use?"
"The secret must not be leaked!" Li Qing was enigmatic and looked like a mountain man with his own clever plan.
Seeing that he really didn't want to say anything, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to give up.
"Uncle Qing, how are your health and bones?"
"It's okay, what's wrong?"
"How about we give it a try?" Zhu Zhanji was eager to try. Defeating Li Qing was his long-term goal.
Now that Li Qing is on crutches, he thinks he can do it.
"No problem, but you have to get some luck."
"How about fifty taels of gold?" Zhu Zhanji asked.
"A little more."
"One, one hundred taels?" Zhu Zhanji asked tentatively. For some reason, he suddenly had an ominous premonition that he could not win.
But soon, Zhu Zhanji gave up this idea.
He is improving day by day, but Qingbo is getting older day by day.
"Come on then!" Li Qing took out the spear and handed it to him, and the two of them came to the courtyard, "You are the junior, you make the first move."
Zhu Zhanji said nonchalantly: "What do you use?"
"Crutch!" Li Qing raised the crutch in his hand. The huanghuali wood was inlaid with gold, and it was particularly dazzling in the sun.
"Are you sure?"
"Come!"
Zhu Zhanji stopped being polite, took off the gun tip, took a deep breath, "Uncle Qing, I'm going to do it."
"So much nonsense." Li Qing rolled his eyes.
"Deadly Rhythm——!"
Zhu Zhanji stepped forward, the long stick cut through the air, and the buzzing sound roared in. The afterimages of the sticks piled up on top of each other, making it dazzling.
Ha, naive!
Li Qing smiled slightly and slowly raised his right crutch.
"Click..."
After a brief collision, Li Qing saw the opportunity, and his crutch passed through the layers of afterimages and stabbed Zhu Zhanji directly in the chest.
Li Qing was unhappy, but Zhu Zhanji's attack was too strong, and it was too late to block with his backhand.
"Ouch~"
Zhu Zhanji scolded lightly, relying on the unity of his waist and horse, he stood in front of the crutch and dodged sideways, and quickly distanced himself.
"Come again!"
Zhu Zhanji was full of fighting spirit, held a gun and approached again, this time the attack was more fierce.
Obviously, he had reservations before because he was afraid of hurting Li Qing.
It’s just...it’s not the same!
No matter how fierce Zhu Zhanji's attack was, Li Qing could always catch it just right and very easily, but an occasional counterattack would make him confused.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Zhanji's offensive gradually slowed down, and Li Qing began to counterattack.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
Zhu Zhanji's body trembled, as if being struck by a machine gun. He stepped back uncontrollably. His whole body ached. He took more than ten steps back, and finally fell to the ground, with a face full of doubts about life.
"If you lose, pay out."
"I...I don't have it with me."
"I'll make up for it tomorrow." Li Qing stretched out his left hand, Zhu Zhanji took it and pulled him to stand up.
"Uncle Qing, are you really over sixty?"
"It's not that bad, I'm the same age as the emperor." Li Qing smiled and changed the topic, "When Uncle Qing was young, he was also a handsome young man from all over the country."
"Is it true?"
"Your Imperial Grandfather knows it, and your father also knows it." Li Qing said proudly, "I'm not bragging. During the fifteenth to twentyth year of Hongwu, there was no one more handsome than me, including those with fine features.
, Gu Panweiran’s Li Jinglong.”
"I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not." Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Don't forget my money."
"Money, money, money, you know money." Zhu Zhanji said resentfully, "Uncle Qing, are you hiding something from me?"
Li Qing snorted coldly: "If your hands are not slipping, you will complain about your sleeves."
"..." Zhu Zhanji said dullly, "But the gap is too big. You are already in your sixties, how can you be so awesome?"
"I won't be able to beat you in two years." Li Qing leaned on crutches and bent down, "Well, as I get older, I look at my spirit, but in fact I have a lot of problems. It's just that my body is strong and it hasn't exploded yet.
"
"But you are already over sixty..." Zhu Zhanji said suspiciously, "Uncle Qing, are you really a cultivator?"
"Fix you big-headed devil." Li Qing got a little excited and reached out to hit him on the head.
This time, the force was not light, and Zhu Zhanji burst into tears from the pain.
"I'm already my father, and you still beat me?" Zhu Zhanji was a little annoyed: Just now it was just a discussion, but now I'm getting beaten even if I talk to you nicely?
My dad was not even willing to beat me!
Li Qing also felt that it was a bit excessive, but he would never admit his mistakes. He said with a straight face: "Your grandfather and your father have high hopes for you. Do you believe this nonsense?
In the past, Qin Shihuang was so powerful, and it was because he was seeking immortality that he died for the second generation!"
"The Qin Dynasty died because Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, built Afang Palace, and built mausoleums. The people were miserable. After Qin II came to the throne, he even went against the grain and forced the people to rebel. This led to the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising." Zhu Zhanji
Learn history well.
"Okay, so you want to become an immortal?" Li Qing snorted coldly: "Okay, I'll talk to your father and grandfather later, and quickly replace him with someone to train him."
Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "Look at you, I just said that, what about you?"
"Of course." Li Qing said sternly, "A person holding a sacred weapon can wave his hand, and there will be a wave of wars thousands of miles away. If he flutters his sleeves, tens of millions of people will respond. With such a great responsibility, how can we talk about it?
Immortal way?"
Barabara...
Li Qing stood on the moral high ground and pointed fingers at Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji gave up decisively: "Okay, why don't we stop talking about this?"
"Well, don't talk about this topic again in the future. Your grandpa Huang knows that he will not suffer the consequences for you." Li Qing continued to have an old face, but he was secretly glad in his heart.
I finally got over it, and even my brain collapsed.
Li Qing secretly woke up: He should be more careful in the future and try his best to behave like a bad old man.
The two came to the pavilion and sat down. Li Qing remained sullen and silent, which made Zhu Zhanji feel that he was wrong.
"Uncle Qing, you have such a strong body. I think you can live for at least twenty years." Zhu Zhanji took the teapot from the maid and took the initiative to pour a cup for Li Qing.
Li Qing took the tea and his expression softened a lot, "That's natural. Taoist priests live longer than monks."
Zhu Zhanji was a little amused: "Do we have to fight for this?"
However, when he thought of Teacher Dao Yan, Zhu Zhanji was relieved that Li Qing's body and bones were still strong.
He said with a smile: "An honest man of sixty is good at food; a young uncle of sixty is good at power."
"Haha...praise, reward." Li Qing laughed heartily: If you can speak, just say a few more words.
Seeing that this matter was over, Zhu Zhanji asked: "Uncle Qing, you'd better tell me your strategy, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
After a pause, "I'll add another fifty taels of gold."
If you add more money, it's not impossible... Li Qing nodded: "Let them get sick."
"puff……"
The tea Zhu Zhanji had just taken into his mouth suddenly sprayed out in the shape of a rainbow, and Li Qing quickly dodged.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly." Li Qing returned to his straight position, "Look at your surprise."
"No...if you make them sick, they will get sick?" Zhu Zhanji couldn't understand, "Besides, even if they get sick, they will still oppose Grandpa Huang."
"No, you are wrong."
Li Qing took a sip of tea, and the old god said, "First, if I make them sick, they will get sick;
Second, if they are sick, they will not oppose the emperor."
"How is this possible?" Zhu Zhanji curled his lips in disbelief, but soon he realized something and said in shock: "Uncle Qing, are you going to poison them to blackmail them?"
"Shh~!" Li Qing raised his index finger to his lips, "Can you keep your voice down?"
"Isn't it... really poisoning?" Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded, "If one of them fails, and all the six ministers and nine ministers are poisoned to death, then the matter will be serious!
Besides, if this matter spreads, what will be the dignity of the Ming court?
How does an emperor behave?"
"You underestimate Uncle Qing's methods." Li Qing said with a smile: "Of course, it's not really poisoning, it's just making them suffer from minor illnesses, which won't be life-threatening, but will make them uncomfortable."
"But what if..."
"There is nothing to worry about." Li Qing interrupted, "Extraordinary times require extraordinary treatment. The situation outside the customs is critical. There is no time to argue with the ministers. If Mongolia is really unified, it will do a lot of harm to the Ming Dynasty but no benefit."
Zhu Zhanji nodded: "I understand the truth, but...isn't this too childish?"
"Don't worry, I have something in mind." Li Qing stretched his waist, "Just wait and see, within five days, I guarantee that all six ministries and nine ministers will agree to send troops."
