She really couldn't understand her son's operation. In her opinion, her son was probably kicked in the head by a yak on the grassland.
What are you doing on the grassland?
Do you want them to be exposed to the sun? Do you think they have no fixed place to live?
If he comes back, at least the Supreme Emperor will be guaranteed, and it's not impossible for him to try his best to regain the throne. Why not come back?
She didn't understand it and couldn't accept it.
"Li Qing's family, is there something hidden in this?" asked Sun with a solemn face.
Li Qing shook his head: "It's good that the Supreme Emperor is there. He said that being an emperor is too tiring and not free. He has to think twice before doing anything and look forward and backward. He is tired of living that kind of life."
After a pause, he added: "By the way, the Queen Mother, the Emperor has married over there. The child is about to be born. You...will soon be a grandmother."
"What?" Mrs. Sun took a few steps back in shock, almost falling to the ground as if struck by five thunders.
Simply...Wu Zetian became a widow - lost her mind (Li Zhi).
She completely lost her composure and said angrily: "How could he do such an unwise thing? Those dark-skinned, tiger-backed barbarians on the grassland are not even half as good as my Central Plains women..."
Her vision went dark and she fell backwards.
"Ouch..." Xiao Hengzi, with quick eyesight and quick hands, quickly supported her, "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother..." ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
Mrs. Sun supported Xiao Hengzi and murmured: "He's crazy, he must be crazy."
Not to mention whether Zhu Qizhen was crazy or not, Sun was really going crazy.
Zhu Qiyu touched his nose. The eldest brother was so embarrassed...unwise, and there was no luster on his face.
But no matter what, Zhu Qizhen is his eldest brother and the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It is a basic rule that the next emperor should not speak ill of the previous one.
"Ahem..." Zhu Qiyu cleared his throat, "You go and wait outside the hall first."
After the three of them went out, he stepped forward and comforted: "Queen Mother, calm down, the Emperor...the marriage will be kept strictly confidential later. I will ask Li Qing and the others to keep it strictly confidential. You have to take care of yourself!"
Mrs. Sun pushed Xiao Hengzi away and stood up straight, gasping for air. It took a while to recover.
She softened her attitude a lot and nodded: "Your Majesty is considering that it is a matter of honor for the royal family, so it is best not to spread the word."
What her son did was an insult to the royal bloodline. When she thought that she would have a black grandson, Mrs. Sun felt sick and had goosebumps all over her body.
She was both angry at her son's depravity and worried that her son would not come back.
If Zhu Qizhen doesn't come back, the Sun family will have less room to maneuver. The ministers will not be half-hearted. She, the master of the harem, can't accomplish anything.
Her grandson is too young, so she can only endure it.
But she was really unwilling to give in, and said: "The Emperor thinks so now, and he will probably not change his mind in the future. After some time... next year, maybe, next year, the Emperor will send someone to ask, okay?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was so easy to talk to, Sun's bad mood improved a lot and her expression softened greatly.
Mr. Sun still has advantages, such as... he is very good at sizing up situations.
Now Zhu Qiyu is the emperor, and his grandson is still just the prince. He is too young and has no maneuverability at all. It will not do her any good to make things too tense.
If even the prince was changed, then she might not be able to keep her position as the head of the harem.
You know, Zhu Qiyu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, is still here.
After Xuanzong's death, apart from the Hu family who became a monk, only the Wu family survived.
The Wu family gave birth to a prince, and Zhu Qiyu was too young, and with the Empress Dowager Zhang here, the Sun family did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world.
Even if she really adds Wu's name, it will be difficult to work if Zhang is around.
Mrs. Sun quickly corrected her attitude and said with a smile: "The Emperor is busy with everything, so the Ai family won't waste your time. Just go about your business."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I will send you to the Queen Mother."
"No, Your Majesty, you are busy." Mrs. Sun smiled, turned and left.
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Hengzi, Mr. Xuan Li, come in."
"My servant obeys the order." Xiao Hengzi took two steps, turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, where are the other two?"
"Let them wait outside first."
"yes."
After a while, Li Qing walked in.
"Sir, you've had a hard time on this trip. Please sit down." Zhu Qiyu pointed to the chair opposite and said with a smile, "In the future, if you are not in the court, you don't need to salute."
Li Qing is happy with this, but he doesn't like to engage in monarchism.
"Sir, is this situation really what you said?" Zhu Qiyu poured a cup of tea and gently pushed it in front of Li Qing, "Brother Huang really has no intention of becoming emperor and doesn't want to come back?"
Li Qing smiled and said: "If not, how could the Supreme Emperor let me bring the Emperor's Xinbao back? Your Majesty, you have also read that letter. It was indeed written by the Supreme Emperor."
What he said was true. Zhu Qizhen did not want to come back, and the letter was indeed written by Zhu Qizhen.
Li Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said: "The Emperor is too happy to miss Shu. Your Majesty can't slack off. The Ming Dynasty still expects you to create greater glory."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel happy, but then he felt that he shouldn't laugh, so he suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and nodded:
"In my position and in my political affairs, since I am the Son of Heaven, I should follow the path of the Son of Heaven and carry the burden that I should bear."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Li Qing said a cliche, then put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are many tribes in the grassland, but compared with the vast territory, the population seems sparse;
They live a nomadic life and can move around at will. Fighting cannot solve the problem. Only integration and gentleness are the best options. "
"Yes, the grassland is too big." Zhu Qiyu sighed, "If it were possible, they would have been wiped out during the Taizu and Taizong periods."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Li Qing and said: "I understand what you mean, um... give them a hereditary official position to attract more Mongolian tribes to join you, right?"
Li Qing nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Well... let's give him a hereditary guerrilla general." Zhu Qiyu said, "It's just right for the four thousand of them. It won't wrong him, and it won't cause the noise of the people in the court."
Li Qing said: "This official position is suitable for Nasen, but not suitable for Heyong."
"Just because he is a former Tatar Grand Master?"
"That's not entirely true." Li Qing shook his head, "He Yong has been a grand master and has a certain influence on the grassland. Letting him become a guerrilla general is far better than leaving him in the capital;
He is equivalent to a golden sign, which will be used in recruiting surrenders and integrating grassland tribes in the future. "
"That's true. If He Yong stays, what's the restriction..." Zhu Qiyu nodded slowly, thought for a moment, and said: "The orthodox official position cannot be given to him, at least not now, otherwise the military attache in the court will not accept it;
Let him serve in Jinyiwei! "
Li Qing nodded: "This is the most appropriate arrangement. I wonder what position the emperor plans to give him?"
"Qianhu... is too small. Let's give it to a hereditary governor." Zhu Qiyu said, "If you perform meritorious service later, you will be promoted."
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhu Qiyu summoned He Yong and awarded them official positions.
And according to Li Qing's words, he made a big cake for the two of them.
The two of them were very happy. Not to mention the big cake and so on, this hereditary iron rice bowl alone was enough for their descendants to eat and drink without any worries.
In fact, what they don't know is that the so-called hereditary inheritance is not once and for all. The emperor can give it or take it back.
After all...even the death-free iron ticket can be recovered.
But no matter what, the appeal of the word hereditary is still very strong.
Not to mention them, many people in the court coveted these two words, especially the civil servants.
Unfortunately, there is no hereditary term for civil servants, but if they do well, their descendants can directly enter the Imperial College, which can be regarded as a low-end version of hereditary.
Even so, not many civil servants can get places.
If everyone can be hereditary, why do we need to do the imperial examination?
After leaving the palace, Li Qingchao and Yong said: "You go and appease your subordinates first. The court will send people to solve the problem of food and accommodation soon.
If you have any questions, just go to Lianjiatun'er and see me directly. "Li Qing told He Yong the location of his home, "The emperor agreed to your conditions, and he will arrange errands for your subordinates in the next few days. You can rest assured about the treatment, just like the Ming army. "
He Yong solemnly said: "I will never thank you for your kindness. Mr. Li's kindness will never be forgotten."
Li Qing smiled: "Go and get busy. It's been a hard day all the way down, so take a rest after finishing your work."
The two of them nodded and rushed out of the city with the emperor's edict in their arms.
Li Qing stretched, his face full of relief, and he could finally have a good sleep.
…
After returning home and taking a comfortable bath, Li Qing relieved all his burdens, collapsed on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already bright.
Originally, he could sleep for a while, but there was a bang on the door. It was obvious that someone outside was looking for him in an emergency.
