"My grandson Zhu Gaochi, please greet me!"
Li Qing held his head high, cleared his throat, and pretended a little, "I'm fine!"
Then, take out the imperial edict and slowly open it:
"The Emperor of Heaven has summoned me and said: King Zhu Di of Yan fought bravely and was very talented. I am very happy about it. I appointed him the deputy commander of Yuan Zheng and commanded 50,000 soldiers and horses. He went deep into the Mobei grassland and cooperated with the commander Song Guogong Feng Sheng and the supervisor Li Qing. , the main force of the Yuan people fought decisively.
King Zhu Di of Yan took charge of the actual affairs and dispatched grain, grass and equipment as soon as possible. When the army arrived in Peiping, he immediately dispatched troops.
Admire this! "
"My son, take the order!"
Zhu Di put his hands up, unable to hide his excitement.
Li Qing handed the imperial edict to Zhu Di. When he stood up, he cupped his hands and said, "I have seen King Yan, Princess Yan, and the young prince."
"No courtesy." Zhu Di said with a smile, "Mr. Li, farewell to Jinling. Long time no see."
"You're welcome, Prince Yan." Li Qingqian smiled and said, "Long time no see."
The little chubby boy struggled to get up from the ground and looked at Li Qing with an elevated face, his little eyes full of doubts.
He always felt that the Mr. Li mentioned by his father was the same person as his good friend Mr. Qing.
A child's intuition is terrifyingly accurate. Li Qing noticed something unusual and said quickly, "This battle is extraordinary. Please make arrangements in advance, so I won't disturb you."
"Mr. Li, don't be anxious." Zhu Di invited, "Please tell me the enemy's intelligence. I know what I know."
"Uh... that's fine." Li Qing agreed bravely, "My lord, please."
"Haha... please." Zhu Di laughed loudly and turned around first to walk towards the main hall.
Li Qing followed, followed by Zhu Gaochi, the chubby little boy.
In the main hall, the two of them were seated respectively as guest and host.
Zhu Pangpang also sat aside in a dignified manner, looking at Li Qing with his little eyes without blinking.
Seeing this made Li Qing feel anxious and dizzy!
"Gao Chi, my father has official duties to attend to, so you go out and play."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Gaochi nodded sadly, stood up and took two steps, then suddenly turned around and shouted out of the blue: "Mr. Qing."
Li Qing almost blurted out and agreed, but luckily he reacted quickly and covered it up by drinking tea.
I was speechless in my heart. This little chubby guy usually looked so kind and kind, so why was he so sluggish and so sluggish?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is...?" Li Qing pretended to be surprised.
"Oh, there used to be an actor who often came to the house to play with the children." As he said that, Zhu Di glanced at Li Qing and said, "Don't tell me, you guys look pretty similar in stature."
"Really?" Li Qing looked at the little chubby Dun'er with a smile, "If the prince likes it, can I play with you for a while after I have finished my official duties?"
"Don't worry about him." Zhu Di waved his hand, "Gao Chi, go and have fun with Sanbao. Don't delay father's official duties."
"Yes." Zhu Gaochi nodded obediently and exited the hall.
Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took out the map from his arms, "Your Highness, this is the topographic map of the conquest of Beiyuan."
"This... this detailed map?" Zhu Di was shocked.
After just one glance, he could see the clue. He immediately spread the map on the table and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Where did this map come from?"
"The spies spent a long time and painted it bit by bit." Li Qing said vaguely.
Zhu Di didn't ask in detail. His eyes were now filled with topographic maps.
After a while, he looked away from the map and asked, "Can I make a rubbing of this map?"
"The map is for Zhengyuan, of course." Li Qing smiled.
Zhu Di smiled even more and asked: "How much information does the court know about the other party?"
"Your Majesty, please look at the map." Li Qing pointed to the path marked by the red line. "This is the way to the main enemy force. The number of the enemy is about 50,000, which may be more or less."
"Is the information true?" Zhu Di asked anxiously.
Li Qing nodded.
"OK!"
Zhu Di was overjoyed. He had a clear goal and a precise route. This was like pie in the sky!
"When will Song Guogong set off?"
"When the official came, he was already preparing. It should have been about ten days before we set off." After a pause, Li Qing added, "By the way, this battle is all cavalry."
"All cavalry?"
Zhu Di's eyes widened. This battle was really... hard to lose.
He even felt that it was too simple and could not show his level.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he stood up and said, "Since Song Guogong is leading cavalry and has been marching for ten days, it is estimated that it will arrive in half a month at most. It seems that I must hurry up and mobilize military supplies."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "How about we make the specific battle plan together after Song Guogong arrives?"
Li Qing nodded: "Your Majesty is busy, I will take my leave."
"Huh? Mr. Li is the supervisor of the army. If you don't watch the mobilization of military supplies, the king will not be practical." Zhu Di said with a smile, "Later, I will ask the servants to clean up a guest room and come out. Mr. Li can live directly in the palace. This will also facilitate my dispatch."
Zhu Di was so honest that Li Qing was impressed.
"That's... annoying."
"Everything you say is for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Di said with a smile, "Sir, you have worked hard all the way. Let's take a day off. I will calculate the amount of food, fodder and equipment needed. Let's go to the Yamen together tomorrow."
"Yeah, okay." Li Qing agreed with a smile and handed the cake painted by Lao Zhu to Zhu Di. "Your Majesty, the emperor said that if you fight this battle well, he will give you a heavy reward."
Zhu Di grinned happily, then tensed up again.
He said seriously: "The Yuan people have repeatedly invaded our border with the Ming Dynasty. As a prince guarding the border, I should fight for the country. I dare not ask for rewards!"
"..." Li Qing cooperated, "Your Majesty is dedicated to the country and is very open-minded. I am admired by my subordinates."
…
"Mr. Li, please stay in this room!" Sanbao led Li Qing to the guest room in the front yard.
Little Fatty Dun'er kept following, staring at Li Qing with his little eyes without blinking.
Li Qing felt extremely guilty. This little guy's eyes were not big, but his eyes were really poisonous!
"Thank you." Li Qing said, cupping his fists.
"You're welcome, sir." Sanbao quickly returned the courtesy. Seeing his tired face, he smiled and said, "Sir, please rest early. Dinner will be delivered later."
After saying that, he pulled Zhu Gaochi and walked out.
But, it didn’t pull.
"Your Majesty, let's go back."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "Sanbao, don't you think he is very similar to Mr. Qing?"
"Looks like Mr. Qing?"
Sanbao glanced at Li Qing and suddenly felt that the two were similar, but he was far more mature than the little guy. One was a supervisor of tens of thousands of troops, and the other was an actor. Their identities were so different that there could be no intersection.
"Your Majesty, you admitted your mistake, let's go back!" Sanbao smiled apologetically at Li Qing, "Mr. Li is very similar to a friend of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince recognized you as him."
After saying that, he knelt down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't disturb the guests' rest. It's time to have dinner soon. There are chicken drumsticks tonight."
When he heard about the food, Little Fatty's eyes brightened. He glanced at Li Qing again, nodded and said, "Okay then!"
"Huh~ I finally left."
Li Qing lay on the bed, speechless, and almost fell into the hands of a child.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with eight dishes, two soups, and a pot of wine. Li Qing's mouth was full of oil. He was really tired from running all the way, so he stretched out and fell asleep.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, the door was pushed open.
The little chubby boy ran to the bed and said unhappily, "Why don't you recognize me?"
Li Qing complained endlessly, why did he still get involved?
"Your Majesty, you have recognized the wrong person."
"I didn't, it was you." Zhu Gaochi was very sure and very sad. "Last time you left without saying goodbye, I had people look for you for several days. This time you pretended not to know me. I treat you as a good friend. I treat you so well, why do you treat me like this?"
"I..." Li Qing was secretly ashamed, but he refused to admit it, "You really admitted your mistake."
"Then put this on." Zhu Gaochi took out the same mask that Li Qing wore before.
"Ah? This..." Li Qing was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that the little guy had such a skill.
It is impossible to wear it, and it is impossible to admit it.
"It's not me. I don't wear such childish things."
Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he burst into tears, "I'm going to call my father over here. You must have an ulterior motive for sneaking into the palace. Just wait. I don't believe you dare not wear it after your father asked you to wear it." Wear."
"Hey, don't leave." Li Qing panicked, "I have something to say."
Although it was funny, he was indeed manipulated by this little chubby boy.
Zhu Gaochi turned around and stared at him angrily.
Li Qing sighed helplessly and said sadly, "Since you treat me as a friend, why do you make things difficult for me?"
"Who told you to deny me?" The little guy was very sad.
"I...I have a hard time!" Li Qing pulled Little Fatty to sit down, "I'm here to spy on Yuan Ren's intelligence. I can't reveal my identity, otherwise the emperor will chop off my head.
I came to the palace to see if there was anyone hiding in the theater troupe. After being together for so long, have I ever inquired about the palace? You still don’t know who I am? "
"Yes...that's it!" Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly and said with some confusion, "I'm not Yuan Ren, why can't you recognize me?"
"If one more person knows, my head will be in more danger." Li Qing said, "I told you, and you tell other people, what if the hidden bad guy knows?"
Li Qing said miserably, "I am risking my life for you now. As a friend, you have to keep my secret."
"Don't worry, I will never tell anyone." The little guy was very moved and patted his chest and promised, "I won't tell my father, my mother, my concubine, or my three treasures."
After a pause, he chuckled and said, "This is our little secret. We only know it. How exciting!"
Needless to say, it's like having an affair... Li Qing nodded, "Good friends, be loyal."
