Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle.
Unknowingly, this is already Li Qing's eighth year in power.
Zhu Zhanji died young and Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne at a young age. Li Qing had already known this news.
For this reason, as soon as he learned of Zhu Zhanji's death, Li Qing wrote a letter to Zhu Yunwen of Jinling, asking him to inquire about the court situation from Li Jinglong.
Zhu Yunwen's reply was: "The court situation is stable, Empress Dowager Zhang is in charge of the government, and Zhang Fu is assisting in the government;
The Korean government is divided into three factions, one is the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate;
One group consists of Yu Qian, the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Fu;
One faction is the cabinet headed by San Yang and most of the court officials. 》
After receiving the reply, Li Qing felt a little relieved, so he took his master away from the Taoist temple, and while reading, he and his master visited the great rivers and mountains.
The reason why he did this was not because he really felt that the situation was safe, but... the master's condition was serious.
The little old man went crazy once every three days to three times a day.
Li Qing had a premonition that his master's end was near, so he took him to travel around.
No one knows the little old man better than Li Qing. The old man is a restless person. Although he has lost his mind, he still yearns for great things.
It's just that his madness is so severe that once he attacks, his relatives will not recognize him.
So over the years, the master and apprentice had almost no contact with the outside world, and had been spending their time in the green mountains.
Fortunately, the old man participated in the good fortune and was able to endure the end of his life. It has been seven or eight years, and he is still alive and kicking. It is just that his madness has become more serious, and his body functions have not deteriorated much.
I can still eat and drink, and I feel more energetic when beating him.
The summer is hot and the cicadas are chirping.
Li Qing made a fire with wood and roasted the pheasants he had hunted while reading "Spring and Autumn".
Over the years, he has been studying hard day and night. He is not certain that he will pass the imperial examination, but he is also full of confidence.
With my looks, as long as I can make it to the palace examination, the iron nail of the number one scholar will not escape... Li Qing thought in disgust.
In this era, appearance is a big bonus. If you want to be an official in the government, you must have good facial features. No matter how educated you are, it will be difficult for an ugly person to achieve great results.
There is no way, just judge people by their appearance.
But this is Li Qing's biggest advantage, who dares to be as handsome as him! ?
"Hehehehe..." Li Qing grinned stupidly, and suddenly his nose twitched and smelled a burning smell. When he looked up, his expression changed drastically: "Oh, shit...!"
The pheasant was burned on one side.
He quickly blew a few strong breaths to extinguish the fire on the top, and then went to grill the other side.
Turning his head and looking at the master, he saw that the little old man was punching his fist, sometimes slowly and then fast, sometimes fast and slowly. It looked very strange and scary.
Li Qing's eyelids twitched. He found that the old man seemed to be improving again, and there were signs that his magical skills were about to be completed.
This also means...he is about to receive the most severe beating!
Looking down at the burnt pheasant, Li Qing felt cold sweat break out on his forehead, shivering in the hot weather.
"Hey...what is this?" Li Qing complained, "I can't learn this skill from the old man, so that's it. I still have to be beaten by this magical skill. Who am I to talk to?"
Just as he was complaining, he suddenly saw the old man standing up and closing his fists, closing his eyes tightly and remaining silent.
Li Qing swallowed, a little scared, but more worried, and whispered: "Master, the roast chicken is ready."
The little old man opened his eyes suddenly and ran over happily.
I told you to be mean... Li Qing slapped himself, hurriedly put away the roasted chicken and hid it behind his back, and said sarcastically: "Master, please wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."
If the old man saw him scorching the chicken, he would immediately know that the flowers are so red.
Zhang Slutty sniffed his nose and said with a smile: "Is it burnt?" | Geniuses remember romance in one second o m
"Master, calm down, listen to my disciple's sophistry..." Li Qing stood up and wanted to run, but he stopped as soon as he took half a step, his eyes filled with ecstasy.
Over the years, except for the occasional silly laugh, the master was silent the rest of the time and never spoke to him at all.
Li Qing said cautiously: "Master...are you okay?"
"Okay." Zhang Ruixi nodded with a smile.
"That's great." Li Qing threw away the burnt chicken and gave his master a big hug. He was so proud that he lifted his master high.
The magic of love comes and goes in circles.
"Put me down, are you crazy?" Zhang sloppily cursed.
Li Qing was indeed out of his mind, even a little crazy. After being scolded by his master, he came back to his senses and put his master down.
Suddenly, he remembered something, his expression changed again, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, are you... not having a flashback?"
"You are so filial to me." Zhang Ruo teased with a dark face, "Don't worry, this time you have broken the shackles and you can live for a long time."
"That's great." Li Qing jumped up and down with joy. It took a while before he calmed down, "Master, just wait while I get a pheasant."
"There's no rush." Zhang Slutty grabbed him and said warmly: "Let's talk to Master first."
"Hey, okay." Li Qing nodded, "Master, sit down."
Zhang Sugao looked at such a disciple, feeling happy and sad at the same time, "I've suffered a lot for you these years."
"Whatever you say, master, is what a disciple should do." Li Qing said seriously.
His nose was a little sore, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. Since they left, Li Qing has been timid about sensational scenes.
Fortunately, Zhang Sloppy didn't like sensationalism either, so he changed the subject and said, "What year is this?"
Li Qing thought about it seriously, "Five years of orthodoxy, late summer."
"Orthodox?" Zhang Sloppy asked in surprise, "How many years have you been sick as a teacher? Even the emperor has changed?"
Li Qing shook his head: "It was only eight years ago that Emperor Xuande died young and the prince who was less than eight years old succeeded to the throne. Although it has been orthodox for five years, the current emperor is only thirteen years old this year."
"That's it!" Zhang Sloppy nodded lightly and said with regret: "Young master, I wonder if the situation in the court will be stable. If you care about it so much, you are dragging you down as a teacher."
"Master, don't say that." Li Qing shook his head, "In my disciple's heart, you are no less important than him."
Zhang smiled sloppily and complained: "You just place too much emphasis on friendship. To ordinary people, this is a virtue, but to you... it's torture. Be more open-minded about everything."
Li Qing also smiled: "Master is wrong. The disciple does not think it is torture, but it is beautiful."
Zhang Slutty's face was filled with relief: "It's the best thing you can think of."
He glanced at his surroundings and asked, "Where is this?"
"Well..." Li Qing scratched his head, "Disciple doesn't know that Master, you have...been quite irritable over the years, so I never took you to the town."
When Zhang Suluo heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad again: He has been with me like this for eight years.
At first, they also lived in the mountains, but they often had contact with the outside world. But this time, Li Qing stayed with a crazy old man like this and had no contact with the outside world for eight years.
What kind of loneliness should it be?
Zhang Slutty patted his shoulder, sucked his lips together for a long time, and finally said with a smile without saying anything pretentious:
"It's fine now, Master. You don't need to take care of it. Just go and look after it!"
Li Qing said: "Master is also important. I want to stay with you for a while."
"Hmm... that's fine." Zhang Sloppy nodded, "Come with me to Longhu Mountain. It just so happens that I will teach you this set of boxing techniques along the way. Once you learn it, it won't be too late for you to join the court."
Li Qing said in surprise: "Master, has he fully understood?"
"Yeah, I figured it out." Zhang said with a sloppy smile, "But I have to go to Longhu Mountain to rob...ahem, do some transactions, my body is very depleted, and I need to make up for it."
"Hehe... okay."
…
The master and apprentice walked down the mountain, chatting as they walked, and the air was filled with Li Qing's laughter.
He hadn't been this happy for a long time.
"Master, can you still...?"
"Don't worry, I'm still alive. Don't worry. After sending Master to Longhu Mountain, you can go about your business. Master will find you when he's had enough."
"Well, good." Li Qing was even more elated when he heard that his master could still last, "Master, how did you suddenly get better?"
In his opinion, Alzheimer's disease cannot be cured. Although the old man is not an ordinary person, he is by no means a god.
He was curious about this.
Zhang Sloppy smiled heartily: "Things must be reversed if they are extreme, otherwise things will be peaceful!"
"Oh? Haha..." Li Qing also laughed heartily: "Wow, wow, wow...!"
The master and apprentice walked together, chatting and laughing loudly.
Ming Dynasty, I am coming... Li Qing's eyes were filled with brilliance.
