Why do men like power? It’s not just because power can make people feel superior.
It is power that can serve countless people. This kind of power cannot be compared with any amount of wealth. Money is just a number, but power is the master.
After the old man decided to plant sweet potato in Li Jinglong's village, the fields on the hillside of Li Jinglong's village were reclaimed within a few days. From a distance, it was full of scattered acres.
All the animals and birds raised in the village have disappeared. For the old man, those animals can't do the work, and they have to destroy the crops and keep them for nothing. He might as well kill them all and give them as tooth sacrifices to the farmers who help him farm.
The summer sun was poisonous, and the sunshine in his sight seemed to be full of anger, but the old man suddenly ignored it. He walked on the slopes of the fields with his hands behind his back, stopping from time to time to communicate with the farmers.
The old man is looking forward to the sweet potatoes growing, and Zhu Yunxi is even more eager to have a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes tomorrow.
"Perhaps this life-saving food, which came to this era in advance, can make the old man happy and extend his life span!" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself while sitting in the pavilion at the foot of the hillside, looking at the old man's back.
If the original trajectory of time and space were followed, the old man would only have one year left in his life.
A year is only three hundred and fifteen days, and it comes in the blink of an eye!
At this moment, Wang Shai stepped forward silently, "Your Majesty, Li Qi is here!"
Zhu Yunxi looked behind him and saw Li Qi waiting respectfully in the distance.
Today is the day for him to leave the capital, so I have come to express my condolences.
"Is everything packed?" Zhu Yunxi walked over and asked without waiting for the other party to salute.
Li Qi leaned over and said, "Everyone, get ready. After seeing His Majesty, I will go to the canal and board the boat!"
"Have everything been settled at home?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
In this era, sailing to sea was no small matter. I heard that Li Jinglong's wife had cried several times because Li Qi was going to sea.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Everyone has settled down." After saying that, he paused and said, "I bid farewell to my parents this morning and worshiped my great-grandfather and grandfather in the family temple!"
Under the sun, this young man was wearing a brand new python robe. The waist-cinched robe made his figure even more upright. If you look closely at his face, you can see the faint fluff on his lips.
"Your parents always think you are still young, but I think you are already a man! When your grandfather was your age, he was already fighting with the emperor in troubled times." Zhu Yunxi said, "What if the young eagle doesn't spread its wings in the wind? Can soar thousands of miles!"
"On our way to Luzon, listen to Xie Jinzhong's opinions more along the way, and discuss with the generals of the Jing Navy whenever you encounter problems. They will not look down on you because you are young, and you must not look down on you because you are young or ashamed, or You are deliberately showing off your prestige, do you understand? At sea, others don’t care who you are!"
Li Qi moved slightly, and then swallowed, "I will remember the emperor's love for you forever!" After saying that, he lowered his head and continued, "I will pay attention to everything when I go to sea this time, and ask for advice humbly!" As he said that, he suddenly smiled and looked at me. Extremely calm and full of longing, he said, "Your Majesty, this is my first time to go to sea. I remember that the emperor said that the future of the Ming Dynasty lies on the sea. I am not talented, but I am willing to sail and ride the waves to guard the sea for the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
"Good boy!" Zhu Yunxi praised, "I will keep your words until the day you become a real man, and then I will give it to you!" He said, patting the other person on the shoulder, "Go ahead and wait for you to come back. , I will personally officiate the marriage between you and Prince Jin’s daughter!”
"Your Majesty!" Li Qi took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I'm leaving!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded seriously, "Have a nice trip!"
Li Qi kowtowed again and stood up, slowly retreating.
Suddenly, loud shouts came from Po Tian.
"Brother Qi!"
Looking at it, Jin ran down the hillside. He ran too fast and fell down. Then he got up and continued running this way without waiting for help from others. He shouted as he ran.
"Brother Qi, where are you going! I don't allow you to leave!"
He ran and cried, cried and shouted.
Accompanying him day and night, Li Qi is not only a minister around him, but also like his family to Jin.
"Prince!" Li Qi burst into tears instantly.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly and waved his hand.
Mei Liangliang, who was following Jin, picked up Jin in one stride and said, "Prince, Prince!"
"Go away! I want Brother Qi!" Jin beat and scratched Mei Liangliang, but to no avail.
"Prince, my servant will show you the fish... Ouch!"
"Let's go!" Zhu Yunxi turned around and said lightly to Li Qi.
The latter bowed silently, turned around and strode away.
Looking at his back, pretending to be strong and pretending to be an adult, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt a little emotional. Unknowingly, he had reached the age where he was watching his juniors become adults.
He sighed slightly, looked around again, and said, "Where is Li Jinglong? His son came to see me, why is he not here?"
Wang Shai whispered, "Your Majesty, Duke Cao is crying over there!"
Zhu Yunxi looked in the direction the other person was pointing, and saw a man on the edge of the field with a straw hat covering his head and his shoulders moving. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Jinglong.
Then Zhu Yunxi slowly walked over and kicked the other person gently with his toes, "If you have time to wipe your tears here, why can't you go over and say a few words to your son?"
Li Jinglong raised his head, with tears on his face, "Long live my lord, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that if this is over, I won't be able to let my son go! I'm just such a legitimate son!"

In the canal, the official ship was ready. The imperial envoy's flag was erected high, and hundreds of guards on the ship stood with swords on the shore, looking stern.
Li Qi dismounted from a distance and walked on the trestle leading to the official ship.
"Master, please slow down and watch your step!" Li Xiaowai, a soldier of the Li family, whispered from the side.
"I suddenly realized that you don't stutter now!" Li Qi said with a smile.
Li Xiaowai lowered his head in embarrassment, "I don't know what's going on, but after we got married, I suddenly stopped stuttering!"
"It must be because I drank too much saliva!" Li Qi said with a smile.
Li Xiaowai's daughter-in-law was the widow of a comrade-in-arms, and she brought a spoiler with her when she got married. At first, Li Xiaowai's parents didn't agree, but after the woman got married, the woman who was the leader of the family and outside the family immediately became pregnant.
Finally, Li Xiaowai's parents changed their minds.
"New shoes?" Li Qi's eyes suddenly fell on Li Xiaowai's feet and said with a smile.
"My wife made new ones last night!" Li Xiaowai said with a smile, "She said she wanted to wear new shoes when going out!" He stretched out his legs to show off, "Master, look at my wife's craftsmanship, tsk tsk, this is called a
Comfortable!”
"Give you something beautiful! Bah!" Li Qi scolded with a smile.
"Welcome to the Imperial Envoy to board the ship!" The guards on the trestle saluted in unison.
Although Li Jinglong said he wanted his son to go to sea, he still felt uneasy. The escort who followed Li Qi to Luzon was specially selected from the Imperial Guard Firearms Camp after Li Jinglong specifically asked Zhu Yunxi for instructions.
A team.
The hundred members of this team are also officers who have experienced the Liaodong War. Although there are only more than a hundred people, these people are armed to the teeth.
Li Qi slowly boarded the ship and stood at the bow, then slowly looked back and looked at the capital.
To be precise, he was looking in the direction of the Li family in the capital.
"The emperor said that if the young eagle doesn't spread its wings, how can it fly thousands of miles! Father, mother, son is gone!"
At this moment, horseshoes and someone's shouts suddenly came from the distance.
"Hold on and raise the sail!"
In the distance, a group of cavalry came galloping.
The horses' hooves roared against the canal's trestle, and in an instant the cavalry rushed under the boat.
The first person jumped off his horse and stood on the bow of the boat.
"Dad!" Li Qi looked at Li Jinglong who had suddenly arrived, dumbfounded, "Why are you here?" She said with red eyes and smiled, "You don't need to send my son off!"
The person who came was none other than Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.
"Who said I came to see you off?" Li Jinglong smiled slightly and looked around, "I came to be an imperial envoy to Luzon!"
"Ah? You?" Li Qi was instantly shocked and speechless.
Li Laowai, who was following Li Jinglong, said loudly, "According to the imperial decree, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is the leading minister of the expedition out of Luzon. All officials along the way will obey Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's orders. There is also a gold medal of imperial order, which can mobilize the troops of the coastal guard station!"
"Inferior rank, please see the Imperial Envoy!"
With a roar, everyone on board and on board fell to their knees.
Compared with Li Qi just now, the expressions of these people were more respectful and the cheers were louder. Although Li Jinglong was not popular in the eyes of Zhu Yunxi and the old man, in the hearts of these soldiers, he was an extremely good commander.
He, Li Jinglong, once led his soldiers and horses to raid the Tatar camp in the grasslands outside the Great Wall. In Liaodong, he faced the Tatar army of 100,000 and defended it alone. He even led them to surround the beautiful land of the capital and gave them happiness.
"Dad? You?" Li Qi seemed to understand something.
"You are too young to be an imperial envoy!" Li Jinglong laughed and said, "Let me be your deputy!" He said with a big smile, "We, father and son, will go to Luzon together. Luzon is such a big country.
face!"
Suddenly, Li Qi completely understood.
His father must have been worried about him because he couldn't bear to leave him, so he went to the emperor to beg for help.
"Dad, you don't have to do this!" Li Qi even said, "Son, it's okay!"
"How can you do it? How can you do it if you don't have all your hair?" Li Jinglong said with a straight face and snorted, "You have to take on important responsibilities at a young age. If it insults the national body, can you bear the responsibility?" He said again.
, "I don't know how high the sky is, so I just say I can do it. What can you do? Follow your father, and you still have a lot to learn!"
"When you go to that country, what will you do if the natives don't accept Wang Hua?"
"What should you do if you encounter pirates at sea?"
"What do you do when you meet those foreign kings?"
"Do you think that when you go to sea, you just go there for a walk and come back?"
"Have you ever killed anyone? Have you ever fought?"
Facing Li Jinglong's repeated questions, Li Qi lowered his head, but his heart felt warm.
"Dad, aren't you afraid of going into the water?" Li Qi said with a smile.
"Are you afraid of going into the water?" Li Jinglong said angrily, "Back then, in the grassland and Liaodong, it was not much more dangerous than this sea!"
Suddenly, his hand was held by Li Qi, "Dad, thank you very much, son!"
When the children grow up, they all know what their parents are thinking.
Looking at his son, Li Jinglong said softly, "Dad, I'll help you one more time!" After saying that, he paused and said, "When you become an adult in the future, your father will help you, but you won't take it anymore!" At this point, he said
, laughed loudly, "Set the sails, set sail!"
The official ship raised its sails and sailed farther and farther on the canal, heading towards the mouth of the sea.
The scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait gradually faded away, and the capital city behind became hazy and unreal.
The Li family father and son stood on the bow of the boat, and Li Jinglong said, "Let's go to Luzon. If we do it well, we will do great service to the country. We, the two of us, will also leave our names in history!" He said, laughing, "There will be a good harvest of sweet potatoes in the future.
, people all over the world will also remember how good we are!"
After the words fell, Li Qi had no answer.
Li Jinglong looked over in surprise and saw the other person staring blankly at the water, as if deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about? Tell me!" Li Jinglong asked in a low voice.
"Son, if I think about what you just said, what will happen if the natives don't accept Wang Hua after landing?" Li Qi said in a low voice.
Li Jinglong looked at his son, "Do you have a strategy?"
Li Qi raised his head, with a rare hint of cruelty in his eyes, "Anyone who dissatisfied will be punished!"
"Which move do you want to take?" Li Jinglong asked seriously.
"If there's anything you can't kill, it's not like your son will kill him with his own hands, he just gives the order!" Li Qi smiled.
Suddenly, Li Jinglong looked carefully at Li Qi's face.
"Dad, what do you see, there are flowers on my face?"
"You are such a loser!" Li Jinglong scolded with a smile.
Then his face turned serious, "Remember, never talk about killing people. But when you want to kill people, you must not be soft-hearted!"
Between heaven and earth, there are pieces of sail.
The father and son held hands on the bow of the boat, silently.
After a long time, Li Jinglong faced the front and slowly said, "The blue waves are rolling for thousands of miles, and the tides cover up the setting sun silently. I dare to ask where the heroes are going. Father and son join hands to revitalize the country!"
"What a poem, what a poem!" All the sailors and soldiers around applauded.
"Dad!" Li Qi smiled, "It's a bit inappropriate!"
"Why don't you respond to the situation!" Li Jinglong said sideways.
"It's far away from the sea!"
"That thing that ruins my poetry!" Li Jinglong kicked out, "It ruined my poetry!"
