"It will take some time to make enough treasure ships for the Zhengde Dynasty, and we have discussed that it is best for the Zhengde Dynasty to take the lead because we have the best environment for issuing treasure notes.

I heard that you, Doctor Li, have a backpack that can hold a lot of big things. I wonder if you can lend it to me so that I can decorate the treasure ships for the Hongwu and Hongxi Dynasties." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Li Zhongfu agreed: "No problem, I will go upstairs to get it for you after I finish my meal."

"Thank you, Doctor Li."

Li Zhongfu asked casually: "Did you not think of leading the army in person when attacking the Japanese this time?"

Zhu Houzhao said righteously: "As an emperor, how can I put myself in danger? As the saying goes, a son of a rich family should not sit in the hall.

It is better to let our ancestor Zhu Gaoxu and my cabinet chief, the mighty general Zhu Shou go."

Li Zhongfu: ...

Isn't Zhu Shou you?

"Then who do you plan to let be the regent?" Li Zhongfu asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao knew that he could not hide it from Li Zhongfu: "Hehe, I plan to let Li Chengqian supervise the country. Didn't Li Shimin let him go to the future to learn well? I think it is faster to practice directly than to stand aside and watch.

In addition, I plan to let Prince Xing Zhu Youqian take the title of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to help him. His son is the future Emperor Jiajing. He is capable and worth cultivating. If I still have no heirs in the future, let him be the crown prince.

If I have heirs, I will take them as an example, call on the clan members to find their own way of life, actively enter the court to serve as officials, and reform the clan system."

Li Zhongfu nodded: "You are worthy of you, then I will wait for your good news."

"Just wait and see, Doctor Li, I will definitely not let you down."

Not long after, Li Chengqian came back.

When he heard the order from Zhu Houzhao to let him be the regent, the tea he had just drunk sprayed out: "I, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, went to your Ming Dynasty to be the regent?"

Zhu Houzhao wiped the tea off his face: "Is there any problem? As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, brother, I believe in you."

"This... But the war with the Japanese is not something that can be fought in a few days. You may have to be busy for several months, and you will have to demarcate the territory, appease the people, etc. You may not be able to come back for a year or two."

"Then you will be the regent for a year or two."

Li Chengqian: ...

I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Is it okay for me to go to the Ming Dynasty to be the regent for a year or two?

Doctor Li is right. Your brain is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

But it should be said that it feels really good to be trusted by others.

I feel that even my father would not be so confident in me.

"Okay, I'll take this job. I will definitely work hard to improve myself, stabilize the rear for you, and never let the Ming Dynasty go wrong in my hands." After hesitating for a while, Li Chengqian promised.

Zhu Houzhao patted his shoulder: "That's how it should be. You are the prince, and your father has to give you some face. Don't be timid.

When the Japanese problem is solved, I will personally conquer Mongolia in the future. At that time, I will make you the general of Tiance and take you to the battlefield to ensure that you get the greatest experience and surpass your father Li Shimin.

If you have enough merits, I can also make you a king, just... the King of Tang."

At this point, Zhu Houzhao seemed to remember something happy, and smiled: "If you are unwilling to wait for your father to die, you can also have a Xuanwu Gate Incident. At that time, I will send troops to help you."

Li Chengqian: ...

"That's not necessary."

"Haha."

...

After making preparations, Zhu Houzhao followed Zhu Gaoxu out of the capital under the pseudonym Zhu Shou.

If it were someone else, they would definitely not cover up for him.

But who is Zhu Gaoxu?

He is the kind of person who can make trouble out of nothing.

He really loves Zhu Houzhao's unruly character.

Not only did he help cover up, he also helped give advice.

In this way, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty went to the coast silently, and the ministers only knew that he was missing.

Just as the ministers were swarming to ask the emperor to show up, Zhu Gaosui came with Li Chengqian and Zhu Youju with the imperial edict left by Zhu Houzhao.

After hearing the imperial edict about Li Chengqian's regent, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Youju assisting from the side, the ministers cursed in their hearts.

It would be fine if one of the assistants was Taizong's son.

How come the regent is Tang Taizong's son?

We have been officials all our lives, and we have never obeyed the orders of the prince of another dynasty!

Your Majesty is really getting more and more ridiculous.

But what can the ministers say?

After the previous two incidents, some of them lay down and some gave up. Except for Yang Tinghe, all of them kept silent, and were more dormant than turtledoves in autumn.

This matter was decided inexplicably.

Li Chengqian and Zhu HouZhuo lived up to expectations and handled state affairs in an orderly manner.

Li Chengqian was particularly good at handling military and diplomatic affairs, and his overall style tended to be open and open, which was at least 70% similar to Li Shimin.

Zhu Youju was meticulous and very sensitive to official administration, money and grain.

The two of them worked together and felt like a match made in heaven.

Even Yang Tinghe could not find fault with them.

Instead, he thought it would be good for them to take over the power of the emperor.

At least it was better than the Zhengde Emperor who loved to toss and turn and often caught people off guard.

But Yang Tinghe soon rejected this idea.

He gradually discovered that as the war broke out, the treasure notes issued by Zhu Youju according to the emperor's design were surprisingly smooth.

Even many officials held a large number of treasure notes, and they were not afraid of it happening again.

The common people also trusted the new treasure notes and were greatly motivated.

As a result, the longer the war lasted, the richer the Ming Dynasty became.

Even the trade with overseas countries, islands, and ethnic groups became more frequent, and various customs taxes were lenient.

Yang Tinghe had to admit that Emperor Zhengde still had some tricks!

Ren'ai Medical Clinic was as peaceful as ever, and there was no change.

The only difference was that the old patients recovered and left, and new patients continued to come, either to take medicine and leave, or to be hospitalized for recuperation.

Li Zhongfu was happy like this. Every day, he saw patients, cooked, tasted delicious food, practiced calligraphy, amused children, played games, and lived like a god.

On this day, Li Zhongfu was making water pills on the first floor, and an old man in his fifties, wearing a dragon robe and looking a bit like Li Shimin, suddenly appeared at the gate.

Since Li Chengqian went to study in Zhengde, Li Er also sent eunuchs to be gatekeepers.

The gatekeeper of the Tang Dynasty was an old eunuch in his sixties, and Li Er respected him very much.

It is said that this old eunuch was the steward of the Li family before they became the royal family. When he was in Taiyuan, he was responsible for the daily life and diet of several brothers of the Li family.

The old eunuch was blowing bubbles silently. When he saw the old emperor, he was overjoyed. He spit out the bubble gum and knelt down and said: "Grand Emperor, you are finally here. I missed you so much."

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Grand Emperor?

I have only been on the throne for nine years. I haven't been the emperor enough. How come I became the Grand Emperor?

"Are you Liu Ping?" Looking at the familiar old eunuch in front of him, Li Yuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, I am Liu Ping."

"Why are you so old?"

"Grand Emperor Rong Bing... blah blah."

Li Yuan: (⊙o⊙)...

After a long time, Li Yuan sighed: "Xuanwu Gate Incident! Things have developed to such a point. They are brothers!"

Li Zhongfu had heard their voices a long time ago, but did not interfere.

Although during this period of time, Li Yuan was the first emperor to come after Zhu Houzhao.

He has always been very clear about his position, that is, he is just a doctor who treats diseases and saves lives.

Sometimes when he is in the mood, it is okay to popularize knowledge with the ancients, but he is not their nanny and cannot be comprehensive.

Since someone is popularizing science for Li Yuan, he does not want to interfere.

To put it bluntly, let alone Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Ming, even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors or the First Emperor came, he would at most treat them with courtesy, and would never be a licker.
