As soon as he left the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanji came up to him and said, "Uncle Qing, what did the emperor say to you?"
"The great grandson is not worthy of much use."
"ah?"
"I lied to you."
"You are so... naughty." Zhu Zhanji's face was full of black lines: Why do you deserve a beating so much?
If he hadn't felt that he couldn't beat him, he would have given Li Qing a try.
"Uncle Qing, can you teach me that trick you did last night?"
"Which move?"
"That's it..." Zhu Zhanji jumped a little, "The one who jumped to the roof."
Li Qing shook his head: "This can't be taught."
"I have money." Zhu Zhanji said, "I don't learn in vain."
Li Qing was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "Go to the Hou Mansion, but I don't guarantee that you will be able to learn it."
"Okay~!"
…
Yongqinghou Mansion.
Zhu Zhanji rolled up his sleeves and said with great enthusiasm: "Uncle Qing, what should I do?"
"As the saying goes: practice your breath internally, and practice your muscles, bones and skin externally. Now I teach you how to nourish your Qi internally."
You really have a hidden skill... Zhu Zhanji asked: "Is it training internal strength?"
"Ah? Ah, yes, yes."
"Then what do I do?"
"First step on the horse." Li Qing said with a smile, "If you practice martial arts without training your legs, everything will be in vain; if you practice martial arts without training your waist, you will not be good at it for the rest of your life;
Zha Ma Step can not only train the legs, but also exercise waist strength to a certain extent. It is a required course for internal Qi-nurturing Kung Fu."
"No problem." Zhu Zhanji, a good student, immediately got up his horse.
However, in less than half a quarter of an hour, he couldn't hold on any longer. He squatted on the ground and waved his hands while panting, "I can't stand it anymore. Uncle Qing, do you have any quick success?"
"I want to eat my shit." Li Qing rolled his eyes, "There are no shortcuts to practicing martial arts."
After a pause, he added: "Zha Mabu is helpful for sexual intercourse."
"Isn't it just the horse stance? In order to practice my internal strength, I worked hard." Zhu Zhanji stood up and took up the horse stance again.
This time, it took a little longer, but it was less than a quarter of an hour.
"Huh~!" Zhu Zhanji's legs were weak and he said in frustration, "I didn't expect that doing a horse stance would be so tiring."
"The simplest things are often the most difficult." Li Qing pointed to the chair beside the table, "Have a rest, I will prescribe you some side medicine, and you can take a medicated bath in the evening."
"Can a medicinal bath give birth to a son?" Zhu Zhanji asked.
Li Qing said with a smile: "The medicinal bath is to prevent you from getting injured during training, it has nothing to do with giving birth to a son."
"That's it!" Zhu Zhanji was a little uninterested, "Uncle Qing, if I keep practicing, can I reach your level?"
"Not up to it." Li Qing shook his head: Are you kidding? I am a martial arts prodigy who can only be seen in a century. How can you follow me?
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji became even more excited and simply talked about political affairs: "Uncle Qing, regarding Jin Chun's case, my father means to minimize the big issue and try to avoid panic among officials, which will hinder the national policy;
What do you think about this?"
"What about you?" Li Qing asked.
"I think it's not bad." Zhu Zhanji said, "Grandpa Huang is old. What he needs most at this time is stability. Implementing the national policy of moving people from the south to the north and structurally changing the Ming Dynasty is the top priority. ,but……"
Zhu Zhanji looked worried: "I'm worried about Grandpa Huang. You know who he is. He is stubborn and strong and will never compromise. I'm worried..."
"Worried about your father being deposed?"
"Yeah." Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Grandpa doesn't like my father. I'm really afraid..."
"Don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen." Li Qing said with a smile, "You care too much, so you worry about gains and losses. Your grandfather has an open heart. They know who has the ability and who doesn't;
It’s true that he doesn’t want to see your father, but he understands better than anyone else that only your father is qualified and capable to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”
"Well, I know that, but..." Zhu Zhanji sighed, "Actually, I don't blame grandpa, sometimes I feel that my dad... is too weak."
"The reason why your father is like this is, firstly, because of the situation, and secondly, because of you." Li Qing said seriously, "The Ming Dynasty is what it is today, and it is inseparable from your father's efforts.
Your father can account for at least one-third, if not half, of your grandfather's great achievements. In the future, you can still follow your grandfather's path, so your father will choose to 'seek compromise through humiliation'.
Because he has confidence in you and thinks you can make up for his shortcomings.
Your grandfather has high expectations for you, and your father has high hopes for you."
Zhu Zhanji tasted Li Qing's words thoughtfully.
Li Qing smiled: "Actually, your father is very high-ranking and very transparent. You will understand this later."
"Is that so..."
"Of course," Li Qing chuckled: "You are very good and work hard. They all think that you can be a good emperor in the future, and they are all using their own methods to pave the way for you."
"Let me put it this way, your grandfather knew that your father could not be a powerful Emperor Wu, so he trained you across generations. From your youth, he put you together with military generals, in order to prevent the imperial power from falling by the wayside;
Your father also knows that he cannot be like your grandfather, so he thinks about internal affairs to pave the way for you, and give you a prosperous Ming Dynasty when you take over in the future."
Li Qing picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and sipped it: "Your father's weakness is to better implement the national policy;
Otherwise, with your grandfather's vigorous energy, although the Ming Dynasty will not collapse, the internal affairs will definitely be a mess.
It was your father who gave officials hope, which allowed Ming Dynasty to develop healthily."
Zhu Zhanji pondered for a long time and suddenly sighed: "Hey, after hearing what you said, I suddenly felt that my ability is really poor."
"No, it's not bad." Li Qing said happily, "Your basic qualities are very good, you can even be called excellent, but..."
"Just what?"
Li Qing was at a loss for words for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I have no enlightenment."
"Enlightenment?"
Li Qing nodded: "In other words, not understanding the essence is like having a treasure house but without the key. If you can't open the door, you won't be able to access it."
Zhu Zhanji understood somewhat: "Then how do I get the key?"
"You need to understand this yourself." Li Qing added another cup of tea, "Read more, learn more, and you will eventually understand."
"Okay." Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Uncle Qing, please give me a medicinal bath prescription."
"I thought you gave up," Li Qing smiled and nodded: "No problem."
Zhu Zhanji also laughed, "It's not my style to give up halfway."
"Well, that's good."
Li Qing gave a thumbs up,
In fact, not only Zhu Di and Xiaopang, Li Qing also had high hopes for Zhu Zhanji.
…
Five days later, the army left Juyongguan.
It was spring in April, when the water and grass were plentiful, Li Qing was riding a tall horse, admiring the unique scenery outside the pass, enjoying himself.
To say it is an expedition, it is better to say a spring outing.
This time Yu Qian did not follow. He was still participating in the suppression of bandits in Jiangnan.
Along the way, Li Qing felt quite bored, so he chatted with Troos Boyantemur from time to time.
"How does it feel to have lived in Daming for so long?"
"It's very good." Boyan Timur said happily, "The prosperity and wealth of the Ming Dynasty are not available on the grassland, especially the peace of the Ming Dynasty, which is incomparable to the grassland. There is no need to fight here, as long as you are willing to endure hardships.
a carefree life;
There is no need to rob others in order to survive, and there is no need to worry about being robbed by others.”
At the end of the sentence, he felt a little regretful: "It would be great if it could be like this on the grassland!"
"This is not a difficult task." Li Qing said with a smile, "The Ming Dynasty has always been friendly to its subjects. Now that the Tatars are severely weakened, Oara has the help of the Ming. Even if they want to come, the Tatars will not dare to attack Oara easily. Peace is not an extravagant hope.
"
Boyan Timur was startled, clasped his fists and said: "The people of Wala will remember the kindness of the Ming Dynasty to Wala."
"We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite." Li Qing smiled: I don't expect every Wala person to be grateful, as long as you, the future successor, know how to be grateful.
In the past six months, Li Qing has often had heart-to-heart conversations with this young man. According to his observations, Boyan Timur is the kind of person who is honest, loyal, and has no ambition.
This young man just wants to make his tribe's life better, much better than that of his unlucky brother, Troros Yexian.
For the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely a good thing for Wala to have such a leader in the future.
The road to the future is almost paved. When I leave the court one day, I will have no worries... Li Qing thought to himself.
