Li Qing paused for a while and then said immediately: "Your Majesty, this is not a fairy trick. The common people have said before that when music was invented, its core was to cure diseases.
However, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou added strings successively, turning the five-stringed qin into a seven-stringed qin. The effect of curing diseases was greatly reduced, so it was gradually abandoned by people, and finally it was reduced to a thing for listening to music and enjoying music. "
After a pause, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, even the lyre, in addition to cultivating sentiments, can also soothe the mood. Listening to a piece of music when you are irritable can alleviate depression to a certain extent. This is also a kind of treatment in itself, isn't it? ?
If the emperor doesn't believe it, just ask someone to check it out! "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and asked, "Can you show me your immortal skills?"
Li Qing shook his head helplessly.
"cannot?"
"No, there is none." Li Qing smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, how can there be any immortals in the world?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, "You are dishonest. It is rumored that your master Zhang Sgru was born in the eighth year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty. It has been 134 years ago. How could he live so long if he is not an immortal?"
"Fake." Li Qing said.
"Fake?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked unbelieving, "It has been passed down for decades, how can it be fake?"
Li Qingqian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's not like you don't know that people like to exaggerate and spread lies. A sesame seed can turn into a watermelon.
However, the master is indeed quite old. He is in his seventies this year. He is both a martial artist and a medicine master, so he is relatively strong.
The old man was unkempt when he was young, so he got this name. Your Majesty, please think about it. A man with dark skin and unshaven beard who is twenty years old may be mistaken for fifty years old. "
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and laughed, "So that's what happened."
When Li Qing saw this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although his master was unjust, he couldn't.
After ten years of getting along with each other and the kindness of teaching him, how could he do something ungrateful?
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Does that mean no one can live forever?"
Li Qing cupped his fists and said, "Long live the Emperor!"
"Haha..." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, "You guy, you flatter me but don't make people annoying... I have said that curing the queen's disease will be rewarded heavily. I see that you are also educated. I will give you one when the time comes. Great official!"
Isn't it a title?
Li Qing was speechless. It wasn't that he was greedy for wealth. He had never thought about that before. It was just that Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind too quickly, which made him feel that he couldn't believe a word of Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
Then he felt relieved again. Zhu Yuanzhang, the person who had been issued the iron ticket to avoid death, still killed as many as he wanted. To believe his words, it would be better to believe that pigs can climb trees.
Zhu Biao asked, "I heard from my father that the sound of your piano can be heard outside Fengtian Hall. What's the reason for this?"
Li Qing's expression remained unchanged, "It's just a technique, it's hard to be refined. If Your Highness is interested, ordinary people will not dare to have the slightest reservation."
Zhu Biao glanced at the memorial on the imperial case, smiled bitterly and shook his head, how could he have time?
Since the abolition of the prime minister system, my father has not had any leisure time, and he has not had any leisure time. I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to do these leisurely and elegant things in the future.
"Just finished the song, Mr. Gu Guan is quite tired, go and have a rest!" Zhu Biao smiled warmly, "Lunch will be a while later, if you are hungry, eat some snacks on the table first."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Qing walked to the side and sat down. He was really hungry. He picked up the pastry in the fruit plate and took a bite. It was crispy, refreshing and tasted great.
'Kachacha...'
There was a constant rustling sound, like a mouse stealing food. The two men raised their heads and stared at him. Li Qing smiled awkwardly and lowered his voice.
Not long after, two plates of snacks went into Li Qing's stomach.
"Huh~"
Li Qing touched his belly and couldn't help but sigh: The food in the palace is still delicious!
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son were busy with official duties and had no time to take care of him, so he took this opportunity to secretly restore his true energy.
By lunch time, all the consumed energy was finally restored.
For lunch, Li Qing was not allowed to eat the leftovers this time. The three of them had a feast together. The meal was not too sumptuous, with only a few more dishes than yesterday, but the taste was excellent.
Li Qing doesn't have the mentality of fearing the emperor. He eats vegetables and soup when he should, without any restraint.
After filling his stomach, there was no need to stay any longer. Li Qing stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the common people will leave first."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise, "You won't play the piano in the afternoon?"
"Once a day is enough." Li Qing nodded, "But the medicinal soup still needs to be taken three times a day."
But at this moment, the young eunuch reported softly: "Your Majesty, Liu Qiang from a hundred households in splendid clothes wishes to see you."
"Let him in."
Li Qing whispered, "Then... the common people will go back first."
"There's no rush." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "The eunuch's duty room has a strong smell, so why are you in a hurry to go back?"
Li Qing was speechless and thought to himself: Knowing that you still let me sleep in the eunuch's room?
Little did he know that except for the emperor, princes, and grandsons, there was no place for men to live in the palace. Although the imperial hospital was in the imperial city, it was not in the palace. Even the eunuchs only lived in the palace when they were on duty.
Zhu Yuanzhang refused to let him go, and Li Qing had no choice but to avoid suspicion.
Liu Qiang, a member of the Jinyi Hundred Household, came in and saw that he was there and was having a banquet with the emperor and the prince. He was shocked, but he quickly adjusted his mood and took a step forward:
"Long live my emperor, may my prince live a thousand lives!"
"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang put down his bowls and chopsticks, "Is there something important?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Liu Qiang glanced at Li Qing, "I do have important matters."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to notice, and said directly, "Speak!"
Liu Qiang hesitated and said: "This morning, it was found out that Wang Hai and Sun Chenglin, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Li Wenlu from the Ministry of Rites, had colluded with Hu Weiyong. Now they and their families have been escorted to prison for the emperor's judgment. "
After saying that, he handed over a list of names, and the young eunuch quickly stepped forward to take it and forwarded it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened it, glanced at it, and said: "Keep it locked for now, and we won't convict him for now."
"Yes." Liu Qiang cupped his hands and said, "I will leave."
Li Qing was secretly shocked. Hu Weiyong had been dead for more than two years and the prime minister system had been abolished. Why were they still investigating?
"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
Li Qing felt excited and said seriously, "The common people are thinking of a plan to treat the empress."
He secretly became vigilant, and his intuition told him that Zhu Yuanzhang must have some purpose in letting him, a civilian, to observe such a thing.
But for a while, he didn't know the details, so he had to find an excuse to deal with it.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Don't you want to take a stroll in the capital? Let me take you around."
"Ah? This..." Li Qingqian smiled and said, "The emperor is responsible for everything, how can ordinary people be so virtuous..."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, there is nothing to do today."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately quit. Do you call this pile of memorials nothing?
"Father..."
"From now on, the country will be managed by you. What happened to the memorials?"
"..." Zhu Biao had no choice but to say, "My father taught me that my sons and ministers must obey orders."
Zhu Yuanzhang then showed a satisfied smile and walked out of the palace. Li Qing secretly complained, cupped his hands towards Zhu Biao, and followed reluctantly.
…
The dragon chariot set out from the palace and passed by the imperial city when it saw the Jin Yiwei handling the case from a distance.
He didn't know that these officials had committed a crime. They were all wearing shackles on their heads and chains on their feet. They moved around with ashen faces. Li Qing secretly sighed: It was so difficult to be an official in the Hongwu Dynasty!
"How could they do this if they didn't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
Li Qing nodded in agreement, paused, and asked in a curious tone, "Your Majesty, if the criminal who committed the crime escapes, will it be easy to arrest him?"
"Escape?" Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a strange look, "Under the whole world, could it be the king's land? Where can they escape?
Besides, escaping would harm the family. To say the least, even if the Nine Tribes were executed, very few people would be able to escape!
Even if he did escape, his chances of surviving would be pitiful. "
"What...why is this?" Li Qing looked like a curious child.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him sideways, "What, you want to escape?"
"No, no, no." Li Qing shook his head quickly and laughed dryly, "The common people still want to cure the empress and make her rich and powerful."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and suddenly said: "Do you want to be a royal guard?"
"In no mood……"
"Think again." Zhu Yuanzhang's smile gradually faded.
"...Think about it." Li Qing's heart was racing, and he was really convinced by this old man.
He changed his mind three times in just two days, from being a marquis to a high official, and then to a royal guard. His rank was getting lower and lower, and he didn't even give him a chance to refuse.
Is there any royal law?
Uh...it seems like Wang Fa is the king.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "In that case, from today on, you will be our personal bodyguard!"
You are not even a hundred households, you are really good, forget it, I won't stay here long anyway, with the life-saving charm given by Queen Ma, it is not difficult to escape, the worst is to change my appearance in the future... Li Qing secretly said Little abacus.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
