Zhu Jianshen is not Wang Shouren, so he is not that easy to talk to. Besides, this is the merit of his ancestors. How can he be easily persuaded by Li Qing?
"I don't care about your stuff, I have to take the Yongle Ceremony back." Zhu Jianshen said without any discussion in his tone.
How come this little brat can't get enough food and salt... Li Qing was helpless, and his face darkened: "What happens after you take him back?"
"It's great to save it!" Zhu Jianshen said matter-of-factly.
Li Qing said with a smile, "It doesn't matter where it is stored? Let me tell you the truth, the fire in the three main halls of Yongle Dynasty was caused by someone deliberately setting the fire. How can you guarantee that it will be safer in the palace than here?"
"I..." Zhu Jianshen snorted, "Anyway, I can't let the grand ceremony wander outside. The famous Yongle Grand Ceremony turns out to be a fake in the palace. Where is the dignity of the court when word spreads about it?"
"After all these years, hasn't it been spread?" Li Qing asked, "Have you found anything since you took the throne?"
"You..." Zhu Jianshen snorted, "It's just that I'm busy and don't have time to watch the Yongle Ceremony..."
Speaking of this, he paused suddenly and suddenly remembered that he had read the Yongle Grand Ceremony. The two books on the imperial desk... seemed to be real!
Zhu Jianshen asked suspiciously: "How many books have you stolen?"
"Leave some." Li Qing said sarcastically, "The rules of the world are to keep a line in life so that we can meet again in the future."
"...How many are left?"
"Fengtian Palace, the two books on the imperial desk are authentic."
Zhu Jianshen: "..."
Then, he was angry again: "You also admit that you stole it?"
"It's not stealing. This is Taizong's intention. I am..." Li Qing said guiltily, "I stole it according to the order."
"How about lying to a three-year-old?"
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the situation." Li Qing was unreasonable and knew that he could not argue, so he simply acted rogue, "You can't take the ceremony away. This is the treasure of our Ming Dynasty. I have to watch it."
After a pause, "You don't want Taizong's hard work to be ruined one day, right?"
Zhu Jianshen's dark face turned even darker, and he said angrily: "What if I want to take it by force?"
"Don't be angry, you know," Li Qing said calmly, "I have always been reasonable, but if I am unreasonable... I, the King of Heaven, have to step aside."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhu Wanqing hurriedly said: "Brother, Uncle Li's worries are not unreasonable. The Yongle Ceremony is Taizong's hard work. As long as it can be better preserved, why should we care about this?
Could it be that the whole world is a royal land? Does the emperor only have one palace? "Zhu Wanqing said, "Brother Ruojue, the rubbings of the grand ceremony in the palace are not elegant... Just let someone copy them again. "
Zhu Jianshen snorted: "It's easy for you to say, but wouldn't it reveal the secret if you re-copy it?"
Li Qingdao: "In the past, so many sets of rubbings from the Grand Ceremony were sold. Although they are not on the street, they are no longer cherished. Otherwise, the Grand Ceremony in the palace would not be ignored. If it were copied again, you can say that the extra rubbings were made in those years. Printing a whole set...may not reveal the secret."
"Foolish move!" Zhu Jianshen showed no mercy, "It's not just one or two copies, but more than ten thousand copies. How can we not make people suspicious? Moreover, re-copying is not only time-consuming, but also expensive, just to find a gentleman with good calligraphy. , it’s not easy.”
Li Qing smiled coquettishly: "The Emperor is still wise, so there is no need to worry about it. Don't worry, the ceremony is absolutely safe in Yongqing Marquis Mansion."
Zhu Jian frowned deeply: "Are you really not going to pay it back?"
"I won't return it!" Li Qing said simply, as if he was not stingy. "Even if I go online, I still have the iron certificates of the alchemy books of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, etc. If you don't accept it, I'll touch it."
In fact, you don’t need many iron coupons for alchemy books, one is enough.
Most of the iron coupons issued by Lao Zhu were recovered by him, but not all.
As long as you survive the Hongwu Dynasty, this iron coupon can really avoid death. Not to mention Zhu Jianshen, even Zhu Di would not dare to deny it when he saw it.
"The iron coupon of the alchemy book can avoid death, but you can't steal the ceremony even if you have the iron coupon!" Zhu Jianshen's face was full of black lines, and he was depressed.
However, he also understood that if Li Qing was determined not to pay back, there was really nothing he could do to Li Qing.
It is true that the Yongle Grand Ceremony is very precious, but Li Qing is even more precious.
And as the girl said, the whole world belongs to the emperor, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
"Okay!" Zhu Jian sighed deeply and said angrily: "You have to watch carefully, otherwise, I won't be able to spare you."
"Don't worry," Li Qing smiled, and then said, "What about that? I want to discuss something with you?"
When Zhu Jianshen saw Li Qing's shameless look, he knew that he had not held it in well, and immediately shook his head: "There is no need to discuss."
Li Qing ignored his refusal and said to himself: "Since you know everything and agree to put the ceremony here, please give me the remaining two books."
"I was forced to agree!" Zhu Jianshen yelled, "Are you shameless?!"
"...Would you like to give it to me?"
"No!"
"Then I'm going to steal it."
"Li Qing! You bullied me too much!!"
Li Qing was used to his incompetent rage, so he just curled his lips and said, "Think about it carefully."
…
Zhu Jianshen was very angry and ignored Li Qing for three whole days.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the family ate moon cakes and admired the moon. After eating and drinking, Zhu Jianshen's dark face looked better...
"Sister, we are leaving tomorrow." Zhu Jianshen said, "After I go back this time, I will give Li Hong a holiday and let him come back and spend time with you."
Zhu Wanqing's face turned slightly red and she said coyly: "National affairs are important, brother, you don't have to be like this."
"Oh?" Zhu Jianshen joked, "Don't you miss him?"
Zhu Wanqing's face turned even redder, and she said angrily: "Brother, you...have no integrity, how can you make fun of your own girl like this?"
"Okay, don't make fun of me." Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "Then don't let him come back."
Zhu Wanqing: (????へ????╬)
"Okay, I'm just teasing you." Zhu Jianshen laughed, and then became serious, "After Li Hong comes back, the court will issue a decree to let him inherit the title of Marquis of Yongqing."
Zhu Wanqing was startled, then looked at Uncle Li who was chatting with his son in the distance.
"This is what he meant." Zhu Jianshen said, "He has been out of the court for a long time, and no one cares about him anymore."
"But... how to explain it?" Zhu Wanqing frowned slightly.
"This is simple, just say that he traveled around the world."
"This reason...does anyone believe it?"
Zhu Jian smiled deeply: "It is indeed far-fetched, but no one cares about this. Besides, Marquis Yongqing is also old!"
Zhu Wanqing sighed softly and nodded: "Okay then."
After a pause, "Brother, why don't you be angry with him? Uncle Li... it's not easy for him."
"I know," Zhu Jianshen nodded silently, and then became sullen again, "But I'm not angry with him, it's him who is angry with me. This is too much bullying!!"
"Well, the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, let alone you?" Zhu Wanqing joked, and then said: "Brother, please take care of yourself after you go back."
"Yes, I will." Zhu Jianshen nodded with a smile.
Zhu Wanqing raised her wine glass and said, "Girl, here's to you, brother."
'Ding~'

On the way back to the capital, the two of them were neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, half rushing and half playing. It was already the beginning of winter when they approached the capital.
Li Qing said: "I will enter the capital in two days. Do I need to inform the court in advance?"
"No, save yourself the trouble."
"It's better to say something. Don't say anything when you leave, and then sneak around when you come back... the impact will be bad." Li Qing said, "And that also seems that the emperor is unfilial. He didn't even greet my father when he came back."
Zhu Jianshen pondered for a moment and said: "First go to the capital, and then you go into the palace to inform him."
"It works." Li Qing nodded and said, "By the way, no one in the court knows me now, right?"
The last time he treated Zhu Jianshen, he didn't show up much. This time it was different. As a person who accompanied the Supreme Emperor on his sightseeing tours, it was difficult for him not to be noticed.
"You think everyone is like you, how can you live so well?" Zhu Jianshen rolled his eyes, "You have been in the imperial court for five years, and it has been almost fifty years now. , I have been basically over thirty all this way, and even if I was in high school before my thirties, I still had to study in the Hanlin Academy, but I would never have the chance to meet you, Marquis Yongqing."
Li Qing nodded slowly. It was true that he had been to the Hanlin Academy, but that was when the Zhongzong Records were being compiled, and he was already in the Chenghua Dynasty, and his appearance had already changed.
"There's someone who knows me."
"who?"
"Your mother!"
"Why are you swearing?" Zhu Jian was deeply annoyed.
Li Qing looked helpless, "She is really your mother. She is as old as Zhen'er and has met me before."
Zhu Jianshen was startled and said, "Last time you diagnosed and treated me, she was just aside and you didn't see anything strange about her?"
"At that time, she was focused on you, so how could she notice this? But this time..."
"Don't be afraid. If you are not familiar with each other, she won't associate it with you." Zhu Jianshen smiled and said, "As long as you don't take the initiative to admit it, there will be no problem."
Li Qing thought for a while and said: "From now on, in front of outsiders, you can call me Divine Doctor Li. Try not to call me Li Qing. These two words... Baiguan is allergic."
"Okay." Zhu Jianshen said amusedly, "When did you become so careful?"
"If you're not careful, it doesn't matter if you call me Li Qing. When I was in court, I looked like an old man." Li Qing said, "I just don't want to attract attention."
"Hmm...according to you."
…
royal palace.
Zhu Youtang stood in front of the Qianqing Palace, feeling the cold wind blowing and frowning tightly.
"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold." Empress Zhang put a big cloak on him. Seeing her husband's face full of melancholy, she bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The officials are also thinking about the clan. If not...just accept the concubine."
After being married for such a long time, she was the only woman married to the emperor, but she... didn't live up to expectations.
After seeing the imperial doctor, there was nothing wrong with her, and there was nothing wrong with the emperor's husband, but even though she couldn't get pregnant, she was very distressed.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she had to persuade the emperor's husband to take a concubine, otherwise, the title of jealous wife would be confirmed.
"Alas..." Zhu Youtang sighed bitterly, "I'm not worried about this, I'm... the one-year period has come and my father hasn't come back yet. I have no way to explain!"
