is it him?
It's him, it's him!
Mu Zhuoer was convinced: It turns out that what Alutai said is true, and Li Qing really will never grow old.
Li Qing was also looking at Mu Zhuoer. He hadn't seen her for so long that his impression was blurred, but he just felt a strong sense of familiarity.
"Li Qing." Mu Zhuoer spoke in Chinese with a trembling voice.
"You...Mu Zhuoer." Li Qing remembered, these eyes were so recognizable.
"You still remember me." Mu Zhuoer smiled happily, something she hadn't done in a long, long time.
Totto Polo was shocked. He had never seen such a king before. What should he say? Just... weird.
Mu Zhuoer suppressed her strong joy and doubts and said to Totto Polo, "Please step back first. No one is allowed to come in without permission."
After a pause, he looked at Zhu Qizhen and said, "Let him go out too?"
Li Qing shook his head: "This won't work."
"Hmm...Okay, it's up to you." Mu Zhuoer was very talkative and waved to Totto Polo.
Tuotuo Polo had a tangled face, hesitated for a long time, and left.
Mu Zhuoer tremblingly walked to Li Qing and sat down. Today, she is no longer the Mu Zhuoer who likes to hold her hands behind her back and jump up and down when walking.
She looked at Zhu Qizhen and asked Li Qing: "Are you proficient in all the languages on the grassland?"
"Some simple ones can speak and understand, but they are not proficient." Li Qing said with a smile.
He was also very sad. He didn't expect to meet an old friend. Although he had a hostile relationship with this old friend, Li Qing felt an inexplicable sympathy for each other.
As time goes by, everyone who knew him has returned to dust and dust, especially those he knew during the Hongwu period. Now only the old Zhu Yunwen is left.
"Then he...?"
Mu Zhuoer hesitated to speak, she was thinking about Li Qing.
"It doesn't matter." Li Qing said, "Don't worry about him at all."
"Hey, okay." Mu Zhuoer nodded. He had thousands of words in his heart, but he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to say them.
The shyness of her daughter from the past reappeared. The subtle emotions made her happy, but also made her embarrassed, self-pity, self-injury, and low self-esteem...
For a long time, she said depressedly: "I...I'm old."
Li Qing felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. Although he had no feelings, he still owed something to others.
"No one is immortal!" Li Qing comforted, but also laughed at himself. óΠъ.oяＧ
"Are they... okay?"
"They are gone," Li Qing said with a smile, his eyes sparkling, "They are gone, they have been gone for a long time."
Mu Zhuoer's heart trembled, "Look for me again..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped talking.
Li Qing shook his head gently: "I won't look for it anymore. I won't look for it anymore."
"Alas..." Mu Zhuoer sighed.
This sigh conveyed all the bitterness and heartache.
Li Qing was blurry. She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes. Li Qing became clear again, which was great.
"Talk about something happy." Li Qing said. After speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The two were still in a hostile relationship, so there was no happy topic.
"Then let's talk about something happy," Mu Zhuoer said happily, "Do you still remember that night when we returned to Daming from Yu'erhai?"
Li Qing smiled bitterly and nodded: "Remember."
"I won." Mu Zhuoer hummed, as if she had gone back in time, with a stubborn look on her old face, just like the look of a young girl when she was angry and extremely proud.
"I said, things will turn around. One day, we will march into the Central Plains, kill your civil and military ministers, and capture your emperor alive." She said proudly, "I did it."
Li Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded calmly: "You did it, it's amazing."
Mu Zhuoer was very happy, "Are you praising me?"
"..."
"You acquiesced." Mu Zhuoer became even happier.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them blankly. He had a ridiculous feeling that the old man seemed... to like Li Qing.
It was so ridiculous that Zhu Qizhen suspected that it was his own illusion.
"You know Li Qing, I have imagined countless times what it would be like to meet again."
"What's the situation like now?" Li Qing asked.
"It's very good, I couldn't even dream of it." Mu Zhuoer said infatuatedly, "It's great. Are you still so, um... miserable?"
Li Qing smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Mu Zhuoer advised: "Don't be so tired. There are too many things in this world that cannot be kept or blocked."
"Yes, I know." Li Qing said, "I often persuade myself."
Mu Zhuoer looked at him dreamingly, "There is something I have been holding in my heart for more than sixty years, and I want to ask you again."
"you say."
"If, if I hadn't been so willful back then, would you have married me?" Mu Zhuoer twirled the corners of her clothes and looked at him nervously,
"Yes!" Li Qing lied.
She smiled. She knew the truth, but it didn't stop her from being happy.
She knew it was fake, but she was still happy.
After being happy, there was endless regret. Mu Zhuoer said mockingly:
"That year when I returned to the grassland, I looked back three times. The first time I wanted you to surrender, the second time I wanted you to persuade me to stay, and the third time, haha... The third time you didn't even look at me."
Li Qing lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry!"
"No, I don't blame you." Mu Zhuoer shook his head, feeling lonely: "I am too proud, too proud..."
She said: “If I were to be elected again, I would definitely not be so proud;
The price of pride is too great, too great, more than sixty years!
If I had put down my modesty back then, even if you didn't like me enough, you would still marry me, right? "
Li Qing didn't know what to say. No matter what he said, it would be wrong and would make Mu Zhuoer even more difficult to let go, so he chose to remain silent.
However, what Mu Zhuoer said is true.
Li Qing didn't like her, but if Mu Zhuoer could put his temper behind him, he wouldn't mind sacrificing it for the sake of harmony inside and outside the pass.
But what’s the point of talking about this now?
For a moment, both of them were silent.
Zhu Qizhen was shocked, even more shocked than when he heard that he had become the Supreme Emperor.
Hearing it now, he still couldn't tell that the two had known each other more than sixty years ago.
When was it more than sixty years ago?
it goes without saying!
The Battle of Yuerhai was the battle where the Ming Dynasty completely wiped out the Northern Yuan Dynasty. That battle was dazzling in both its results and significance.
After that battle, there was no emperor in Beiyuan.
After that battle, coach Lan Yu sealed Lang Juxu, became famous in one battle, and was granted the title Duke of Liang.
After that battle, deputy commander Li Jinglong was promoted to the left governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
After that battle, Marquis Yongqing was granted the title of World Noble.
Taizu was the most cautious about rewards and never rewarded his ministers easily, but the reward was unprecedented, which shows the importance of that battle.
As an emperor, how could Zhu Qizhen not look at the history of the Ming Dynasty? It was not until this moment that he completely woke up.
It turns out that Li Qing is Li Qing.
In other words, Li Qing is the Marquis of Yongqing.
In the 15th year of Hongwu's reign, he entered the dynasty and served successively as the doctor of Empress Xiaoci, the royal guard of thousands of households, and the governor of the town. He was the supervisor of the army when Taizong recruited Nai'er to surrender, the supervisor of the Yu'er battle, the supervisor of the army recruited by Taizong himself, and the supervisor of the army recruited by Xuanzong himself. Supervisor...
Although he is the supervisor of the army, Li Qing is not just a decoration. Every time he goes into battle, he has made achievements and is of extraordinary significance.
For example, fishing in the sea to find the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, such as the Northern Expedition to kill Mahamu...
It turns out that they are the same person. No wonder, no wonder my father wants to do that, no wonder he wants me to trust him unconditionally... Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Qing.
Got it, he got it all.
Zhu Qizhen finally understood that Li Qing could stir up trouble and bring order to the chaos with a seventh-grade official position.
It turns out that people have always been playing at the top level.
The princes and masters of the Hongwu Dynasty, the princes and masters of the Yongle Dynasty, the princes and princes of the Hongxi Dynasty...that is, his father, were all taught by Li Qing.
For people of this rank, as long as the emperor is willing to listen and accept advice, it is enough.
Zhu Qizhen sadly discovered that the restructuring he was proud of was all planned by Li Qing. Without him, could he still be so good?
The only time he advocated, the Ming army was defeated and the emperor himself was captured. What would have happened if Li Qing hadn't made up for it?
Zhu Qizhen was devastated. At this moment, his pride was shattered. He suddenly realized that he was far from being as strong as he thought.
Maybe, I am really not suitable to be an emperor.

After a while, Mu Zhuoer put away his emotions and asked, "Are you still used to living there?"
"I am accustomed to wherever I go. The prosperity inside the customs is related to the internal, and the grassland has the style of the grassland. It is all very good." Li Qing said seriously, "If you can, I sincerely feel like one family inside and outside the customs."
He said happily: "People from Guan Nei can come to the grassland to graze, and people on the grassland can also go to Guan Nei to farm. Take the grassland tribes who went to Daming in the past as an example.
After so many years, their lives have gotten better and better. They have farmland and houses. Their children have enough to eat, their elderly have warm clothes, and they don’t need to be robbed, nor will they be robbed. "
Li Qingdao: "They are really happy. I hope more people can be like them. War... is too cruel."
Mu Zhuoer was displeased and snorted: "It's up to you to say that. If someone else says that I, the king, must have chopped him off..."
She shut up, feeling that such a woman would be very unwelcome, so she changed her tone and hummed, "That sounds nice, but aren't you Hans taking the lead?
Besides, there will be conflicts when the two parties integrate, after all, the living habits of the two parties are so different. "
"This is inevitable, but conflicts can be resolved when there are conflicts." Li Qing said with a smile, "This is a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. It is normal to have friction at first. As time goes by, both parties will always find a suitable way to get along. Isn’t it?”
Mu Zhuoer was silent for a moment and sighed: "Maybe what you said is the real way to resolve the conflict, but... I can't help you.
I am the king of Tatar, but there are many things that I am powerless to do. "
"One day, I will." Li Qing said with determination.
Mu Zhuoer smiled and said, "Let's not talk about those bad things today. I am not the king of Tatar, and you are not an official of the Ming Dynasty. Let's just get together as old friends.
Let’s talk, have a chat, okay? "
Li Qing nodded: "Okay."
…
The two chatted for a long time, and Mu Zhuoer talked more and more, until nightfall, she slowly stood up: "If you need anything, just say it, don't be polite to me."
After a pause, he said cautiously, "I still want to come over tomorrow."
"Then come over." Li Qing smiled and nodded.
"Well..." Mu Zhuoer staggered out with a smile.
She was obviously struggling, and she could have used an excuse to let Li Qing support her, but in the end she lost to Pride.
Such a character... will always suffer.
She didn't say anything, and Li Qing didn't help or send her off. He just watched her staggering to the ground and left stubbornly.
"Ho ho ho...!"
