They are not happy or angry;'

He believed that 'this reward is too heavy and has threatened the civil service group.

After the battle is won, there is nothing wrong with giving some rewards, but giving some money and other rewards is enough. This is an official promotion and a knighthood, and to reward so many people, it is really excessive.

Civil servants look down on generals and have always looked down upon them.

They looked down upon them in the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties, let alone now, and in the early days of orthodoxy, there was a precedent for civil servants to have great victories.

The civil servant group was very dissatisfied with this division of interests, and was even quite angry.

However, no one stood up.

They haven't gotten their share yet, so it's unwise to step forward now. They can still settle accounts in the future, so there's no rush now.

After Zhu Qiyu sealed the generals in one breath, he changed the subject and began to target maritime trade.

The ministers were even more angry, but they could only listen patiently. They had no choice but to eat meat.

Each one of them was as resentful as a frustrated little wife. Li Qing wanted to laugh when he saw them.

It wasn't until Zhu Qiyu said that the market share should be re-divided into three for the imperial court and seven for the private sector, that these individuals felt better.

However, Zhu Qiyu directly rejected their request to abolish the travel and boat tax, and his attitude was firm and there was no room for discussion.

The civil servants were very angry about this, but they still tolerated it.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Zhu Qiyu dismissed the morning court on the grounds that he had stayed up late to read memorials last night and had not had a good rest.

This made a group of old guys so angry that they glared, but they still endured it.

It's not that they didn't send out, but that the time has not come yet. When everything settles and they get their share, it's time for them to fight back.

If you can escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade, I don't believe you can keep calm and keep so many important positions vacant.



Li Qing belonged to the civil service system, so his appointment as Minister of War was also put on hold.

But this didn't stop him from feeling happy, he didn't care about it at all.

After leaving the court.

Li Qing went to Yu Qian's house and took his donkey away, but Yu Mian sent it far away.

In the following time, Li Qing will not go to court again.

All the military generals who should have been granted titles have been sealed. As for the civil servants... the vacant positions must be filled. There is no way around it. Whether he goes to court or not, it has no impact.

Anyway, with Yu Qian, Li Qing doesn't have to worry about anything.

He planned to wait for the officials to fight back before taking action.

However, Li Qing was careless after all.

Zhu Qiyu was not Zhu Qizhen. He was so familiar with him. When he saw that Li Qing did not go to court, he immediately asked Yu Qian to urge him.

Yu Qian helped prevaricate several times, but later he couldn't resist, so he came to persuade Li Qing:

"Sir, if you don't go to court, the minister will be gone."

"No, isn't he too stingy?" Li Qing was speechless.

Yu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor has just ascended the throne. If you act like this, you will inevitably give people the feeling that you don't take him seriously."

"The problem is that I don't have much to do when I go to court," Li Qing said helplessly. "It's just for personal use. It's useless. I might as well sleep in at home."

Yu Qian sighed: "It's better to go and give the emperor some face."

"I do practical things and don't engage in formalism." Li Qing snorted. "I compromised this time. He will try to tease me next time. This grandson is no different from his brother. I can't get used to it."

"Sir, you...!" Yu Qian was a little annoyed. This is simply treason, no, this is it.

"Sir, how can you speak of the Emperor like this!?" Yu Qian said in a deep voice.

Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, why don't you stop talking?"

Yu Qian sighed: "So...?"

"I won't go!" Li Qing said, "Let him go. I don't care about the minister or anything like that. After this crisis is over and the court situation has completely stabilized, I plan to return to Jinling to live permanently."

Yu Qian was speechless: "Sir, are there any officials like you?"

Li Qing curled his lips: "I go to court less often, but I do more things than anyone else. If he only cares about these superficial forms, he is not a wise king."

"You don't have to look at me like that. It's not the first day you've known me." Li Qing said quietly, "I was like this when Taizong was in power."

Yu Qian smiled helplessly and said angrily: "I'm afraid only Taizu can control you, sir."

"He was okay at first, but then..." Li Qing chuckled, "The old man... ahem, he was so angry with me that he would kill people with his sword at every turn."

"..." Yu Qian felt that Li Qing was bragging, but thinking about it carefully, there was no need for Li Qing to lie to him. This was also in line with Li Qing's character.

He couldn't help but feel a little curious: "When Taizu chopped you, how did you respond?"

"You are stupid, he can kill people, why can't I run away?" Li Qing was speechless.

Yu Qian smacked his lips. He was quite speechless. He had never seen... no, he had never heard of anyone like Li Qing.

"Sir, I really feel now... it's a miracle that you can survive until now." Yu Qian couldn't help teasing.

Li Qing said: "You are wrong. The reason why I can live a good life and be reused is not because I am lucky, but because I have the ability."

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

"The pension for soldiers has reached its final stage. Soon, those vacancies will have to be filled." Yu Qian said, "Firstly, there is no reason to delay, and secondly, the situation in the DPRK should be stabilized."

"Just make up for it. I'll take action when they get into trouble." Li Qing leaned back comfortably on his chair, "I have to recharge my batteries now."

Yu Qian knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he stopped trying.

Li Qing asked: "By the way, I almost forgot about something big. Baoyuan Bureau is still minting money, right?"

"It's temporarily stopped." Yu Qian said, "We have run out of copper, the raw material for making money."

"Well... we need to hurry up on this." Li Qing muttered, "The emperor trusts you more than he trusts me. Tell him the stakes involved, and at the same time, persuade him to increase trade with Japan."

Li Qing was rarely serious: "This concerns every citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and the currency must be stabilized."

"I will tell you." Yu Qian nodded and asked, "Do you have any general countermeasures for their counterattack?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Li Qing said, "As long as the emperor is strong enough, they can't shake the imperial power at this stage. Besides, with so many generals promoted this time, nothing big will happen."

While he was smiling, his expression suddenly turned serious: Damn, you were careless.

"What did you think of, sir?" Yu Qian was a little surprised to see him like this.

Li Qing rarely showed this expression, but when he did, it meant something big was happening.

"It's nothing." Li Qing showed a relaxed look again, "The ministers violently fought back. The emperor can use the ceremonial supervisors and factory guards to suppress them, and it won't cause a headache."

Yu Qian had no doubt that he was there and stayed for a while before leaving.

As soon as he left, the relaxation on Li Qing's face turned into seriousness.

"Damn, after all the calculations, I still missed one thing." Li Qing cursed, "Why did you forget Zhu Qizhen?"

It is foreseeable that Zhu Qiyu cannot meet the psychological expectations of the civil servant group, and they will inevitably demand to welcome the Emperor back.

And this is what Zhu Qiyu is most taboo about. No matter who becomes the emperor, he doesn't want to let him go.

There is the Queen Mother Sun in the harem, and the Prince Zhu Jianshen in the East Palace. Zhu Qiyu was already weak, and he became even more weak after Zhu Qizhen came back.

Zhu Qiyu would never allow this kind of thing. Not allowing it would mean compromise.

But even if he allowed it, Zhu Qizhen would not be able to come back, because Zhu Qizhen's suppression was not in the hands of the Tatars at all.

How can Tatar give without anyone?

If the Tatars refused to give, the Ming Dynasty was bound to send troops. This was related to the court's face. In order to be politically correct, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to send troops.

As a result, the originally good situation was shattered.

If the Ming Dynasty does not send troops, Oara and the Tatars will start fighting on their own. But once the Ming Dynasty sends troops, under high pressure, who knows that the two sides will not join forces.

After all, Zhu Qizhen and Wala have a good relationship, but Zhu Qiyu does not.

For its own sake, Vala would not sit back and watch the entire Tatars collapse.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but express his anger, and he was no longer as confident as before.

Because the previous strategy is no longer useful.

Just go back to Jinling and stab Zhu Qizhen to death... Li Qing thought depressedly.

On second thought, stabbing Zhu Qizhen to death would not be of much use. After the body was brought back, the debt would still be settled on Tatar's head.

Even if he said he killed him, no one might believe him. Could it be that he brought Zhu Qizhen back and then performed regicide in front of everyone?

"Fuck!" Li Qing cursed, "It seems that Zhu Qiyu has to show his cards."

Doing what he thought of, Li Qing immediately set off for the palace.
