Yu Qian sighed softly: "Li'er is such a reasonable person, but how can you guarantee that sir... Alas, the key is that in the perception of most people, Wala can no longer be supported!"
Li Qing said: "The truth is often grasped by a few people!"
Yu Qian opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything to refute. For so many years, Li Qing has never made a mistake every time he made a decision.
"Does the Emperor know about this?" Li Qing asked.
"Ah, I already reported to the emperor in the morning."
"How did he say?"
Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "The emperor wanted to send troops while the two sides were fighting, and there was a yellow bird behind him, but except for a few generals such as Shi Heng, everyone opposed it, so the emperor did not force it anymore, and just said to wait and see what happens."
"We can't just wait and see what happens. After Wala's victory, there will be chaos." Li Qing said, "Wala is too big and the risk of losing control internally is too great. The imperial court must provide help."
"But the problem is..."
"The solution to the problem is that the purpose of aiding Wala cannot be changed." Li Qing said, "Let's go into the palace."

Royal study room.
Zhu Jianshen is reviewing the memorials. In fact, there are comments on each memorial. His work is not very intense, and it is much easier than Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao back then.
Frankly speaking, the cabinet still has a strong positive effect, at least for now.
Zhu Jianshen is also accustomed to the pace of life. Although his official duties are complicated, they are not very heavy. In his spare time, he can spend some time with Zhen'er; gòйЪ.ōΓg
Staying in the harem at night, the Wu family, the Wang family, and the Bai family are also lovely. Their little life is very nourishing, and they have the blessing of power, and they are in a good mood every day.
The prerequisite is that you don't want those bad things.
At this time, the young eunuch standing in the palace stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Yongqing and Yu Shangshu would like to see you."
"Hmm... Xuan." Zhu Jianshen picked up his ink pen and wrote the word 'Zhaozhun', picked up another memorial and continued to work, but after a few glances, he frowned and marked his comments with a big mark. cross.
He was cursing: "You are still thinking about raising your salary. Now your salary has already exceeded the amount set by Taizu, and you have so much gray income overtly and covertly that you are not satisfied..."
"My dear Li Qing, long live my emperor..."
"No courtesy." Zhu Jianshen said casually, put down the memorial and raised his head, only to realize that Li Qing and Li Qing had just entered the hall.
Yu Qian was speechless, but because of Li Qing's favor, he didn't need to salute.
Zhu Jianshen was used to it, and he was now more wary of Li Qing, so he wasn't too angry: "Two beloved ladies came together, why?"
"Your Majesty, the situation in the grassland has taken a turn for the worse. At this time, we need to assist Wala as soon as possible." Li Qing got straight to the point.
Zhu Jianshen was stunned and said in surprise: "Li Qing, didn't Yu Qing tell you the details?"
"I know the details, but it is necessary to assist Oara." Li Qing said seriously, "There have always been internal conflicts in Oara. The reason why it did not collapse is because of the Ming's assistance and the eagerness of the Tatars;
Although Wala has the advantage now, internal conflicts will ensue after the victory. "
Zhu Jianshen put down his ink pen and frowned: "What if Wala takes the opportunity to become bigger and then dominate the grassland?"
Not allowing me to send troops, but asking me to spend money to help... Zhu Jianchen was furious, this was Li Qing, and he would have cursed anyone else.
Li Qing said: "Ola can't unify the grassland. The Ming Dynasty has been assisting them since the Xuanzong period. After so many years, have they unified the grassland?
Not even once!
They have won many battles, but they have never been able to unify the grasslands. Does the Emperor know why? "
Zhu Jianshen hummed: "The mud can't support the wall, so there's no need for help."
"..." Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Wala is not a native of the grassland. This is the key."
After a pause, he moved out Grandpa Zhu Jianshen, "In the past, Emperor Xuanzong gave all the jade seals from the former Yuan Dynasty to Wala. The emperor thought that if Wala was really possible, Emperor Xuanzong would do this?"
Zhu Jian was stunned for a moment, not to mention whether it was right or not, that was his grandfather, could he still refute it?
"There is no money in the internal funds, and the national treasury is empty..." Zhu Jianshen suddenly remembered something, "How do you know about the Xuande Dynasty?"
"Listen to what the Supreme Emperor said." Li Qing said, and then brought out Zhu Jianshen's father: "During the Zhengtong years, the Supreme Emperor has also been implementing the purpose of supporting Oara. Through the strategy of helping the weak against the strong, the grassland has always been in civil war, thus Indirectly, it protects my Ming Dynasty from intrusion."
Li Qing issued a soul torture: "The emperor thinks that Xuanzong and the Supreme Emperor have done something wrong?"
"...I didn't say that." Zhu Jianshen said with a dark face, "But the problem now is that our Ming Dynasty is not rich either, and they were not big in the past, but it does not mean that they will be the same in the future;
If they become big, wouldn't it be like shooting themselves in the foot? "
"No, definitely not." Li Qing was determined.
"Why?"
Li Qing said: "First, Wala holds the Yuan Ting Jade Seal in his hand. This object has a fatal attraction for the large grassland tribes;
Secondly, the Wara are not descendants of Genghis Khan, nor are they even natives of the grasslands, and their numbers are far inferior to those of the grassland tribes;
Under these various conditions, Oara will never be able to unify the grasslands. "
Zhu Jian frowned deeply and said suspiciously, "What if Wala hands over the jade seal?"
"No!" Li Qing shook his head, "Once Wala is handed over, no matter who falls into the hands, they can immediately pull up a huge team. The grassland is scattered, and Wala is tired of dealing with it. If they are twisted into a rope, then they will be gone. Destruction is not far away."
Zhu Jianshen smiled, he naturally understood this truth, he just wanted to tease Li Qing, and let out a little anger.
"What you said makes sense, but..." Zhu Jianshen spread his hands: "I have no money!"
Li Qing: "..."
Zhu Jianshen said: "If trade aid is used, I am not unacceptable, but they have consumed all the materials themselves in this war, and Ming Dynasty's money did not come from strong winds. You can't give it to them in vain, right?"
Without waiting for Li Qing to speak, Zhu Jianshen quickly added: "It's not possible to borrow. They need too much and there is a high probability that they will not be able to pay back."
Even if Li Qing said a thousand words and ten thousand words, Zhu Jianshen still didn't want to help because there were indeed risks involved, even if what Li Qing said was very reasonable.
For now, Wala’s paper data is too exaggerated!
Li Qing said it very thoroughly, and Zhu Jianshen also understood the pros and cons, but he had to consider the losses caused to Ming Dynasty after making wrong decisions.
No one can guarantee that things will develop according to Li Qing's script.
Unknown things are always full of uncertainty.
Zhu Jianshen changed the topic and softened his tone: "I know that Ai Qing is also dedicated to the country and has no selfish motives, but as the king of a country, I have to weigh the pros and cons!
I am considerate of you, and you must also be considerate of me! "
Zhu Jianshen said it sincerely, and Li Qing was not angry at all.
Li Qing knew that Zhu Jianshen was not targeting him, but was really out of weighing the pros and cons.
Reluctantly, Li Qing had no choice but to come up with a compromise.
"What if it doesn't cost money?"
Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly: "This is actually not just a matter of money, but that Wala is really too strong now. Aiqing, your analysis makes sense, but this is not the truth after all;
How do you conclude that Oara, which was unable to unify the grasslands in the past, still cannot do so now?
After three days of separation, you should treat each other with admiration; let alone after so many years?
This... is just your conjecture after all, and it cannot prove anything. At least in my opinion, both sides of the matter can happen, so why do I spend so much money? "
Li Qing laughed dumbly and nodded: "What the emperor said is absolutely true. Not looking down on your opponents is an essential quality for a superior."
After a pause, he added: "What if... this assistance will also benefit Ming Dynasty?"
"Oh? What do you say?"
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "After the war, internal conflicts in Oara will inevitably break out. There is no doubt about this. The Ming Dynasty can help them alleviate the conflicts, for example, by taking over the grassland tribes that are difficult to control in Oara."
Yu Qian's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Li Qing meant and praised: "Wonderful! Very wonderful! Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible."
Zhu Jianshen hesitated and said: "This is indeed a good idea, but the question is...is Wala willing?"
"I definitely am willing," Li Qing said. "As it grows, Wala can no longer support so many people. It would be a disaster to keep those unstable factors."
"Hmm..." Zhu Jianshen suddenly thought of something and smiled, "Then if that's the case... we still have to send troops to the grassland. Otherwise, how can we bring back so many people?"
Li Qing nodded: "We need to send troops, but not to fight."
It’s okay not to fight, I just want to send troops... Zhu Jianshen chuckled and said: "Then it’s settled, Aiqing will come tomorrow morning. It’s hard for me to decide on such a big matter."
Finally, you can cultivate your own power from scratch.
Zhu Jianshen was elated!
For the first time, I saw Li Qing so pleasing to the eye...

After leaving the palace, Yu Qian said happily: "Sir, this method is better than direct assistance, and it can also win the support of all officials."
Li Qing shook his head: "No, in fact, the best solution is still to provide financial and material assistance to Wala. I am not looking down on Wala. They really can't grasp it. This is just a compromise."
Yu Qian didn't think so. He couldn't refute, so he just said comfortingly: "This is great. It can not only reduce the burden of Wala to a certain extent, but also benefit the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone;
If you really insist on providing massive assistance, the emperor will not agree, and neither will the officials. Even Li Xian will sing the opposite, and the national treasury is indeed not rich.
What's the point of regretting a strategy that's difficult to implement? "
Li Qing sighed softly: "Let's do this for now, but...if Vara really can't stand it later, then I don't care who agrees or disagrees."
When Yu Qian heard what he said, he immediately became nervous: "Sir, it's better to be on the safe side. The emperor is not yet powerful, and all the officials have not yet returned to their hearts, and..."
Li Qing waved his hand gently and said: "The interests of Ming Dynasty are above all else!"
"You can't do this nonsense!" Yu Qian was anxious.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything random." Li Qing said with a smile.
However, when this smile fell in Yu Qian's eyes, his scalp felt numb.
