"Zhu Chongba, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you are too disrespectful to me!"

"I'm speaking for your grandson. In front of so many courtiers, you actually reprimand me like this?"

"What the hell is this old man thinking... Could it be that the prince is gone, and he wants to kill me..."

A terrible sprout in his heart sprouted at this opportunity.

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Change into casual clothes and go drink first!"

……

Jixian Building.

This restaurant was built by Zhu Yuanzhang's order, and there are many dignitaries and dignitaries.

Now that the exam is approaching, many students who are going to Beijing to catch the exam will also come here to try their luck.

If you show your talents in a restaurant and are favored by dignitaries, you will be more guaranteed in the future.

Lan Yu arrived at this Jixian Building, and was quickly arranged with a private seat and fine wine, no problem.

He held a deep breath in his heart, no matter how much he drank, he was still bored.

Before he knew it, he drank almost a catty...

At this moment, there was some commotion outside Jixian Tower.

Sapphire frowned.

"Noisy!"

He glanced around.

Some drunken eyes blinked, and the person became more sober.

It turned out that the people who caused the noise were King Yan and King Jin.

I only heard that the two of them were in this public place, under the watchful eyes of the public, quite a bit of gunpowder.

Yan Wang Zhu Di said:

"Third brother, it's been a long time since we met each other. Even if we can't have a good time drinking and chatting, we should keep the water in the water... But why do the people under your command always haunt me?"

It is said that since King Jin entered Beijing, he always wanted to find out some clues of King Yan's rebellion.

However, King Jin has been under surveillance for a long time, how could King Yan know nothing about it?

Right now, King Yan just wants to see what King Jin wants to do.

King Zhu of Jin laughed and said:

"Fourth brother, you have been stubborn since you were a child. As an older brother, of course I have to keep an eye on you."

"Then did you notice something?" Zhu Di frowned.

"Heh..." Zhu Yan raised his chin and said:

"Although not, but you have been too cautious in the past few days, and you really don't look like the King Yan who shocked the northern border..."

"Every move, I didn't do a single wrong thing. I can't believe that you are like this."

You know, sometimes what determines whether a person is smart is not his intelligence, but his pattern.

Zhu Yan's prejudice against Zhu Di over the years cannot be changed by a few words.

Zhu Yan is wary of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di felt sullen for a while.

You know, Zhu Yan has spoken ill of Zhu Di in front of Zhu Yuanzhang all these years.

However, this is all old stuff.

Originally, he didn't want to hurt the harmony of his family.

But now, he has no way to retreat, so he can only stiffen up.

"Third brother, since you insist on misunderstood me, then come up with evidence, and if you want to impose a crime, why not justify it?" Zhu Di said sternly.

Zhu Yan smiled and said: "Evidence? Why do you think my father named me King of Jin? Also, don't you know how many people have impeached you?"

"you!"

Zhu Di was furious.

Then, he said: "Okay! Since brothers have to fight each other hard, then I will accompany you to the end, but the ugly words come first..."

"If you want to play slanderous tricks, I will fight with you to the death!"

Sapphire watched for a while, and suddenly had an idea.

"Why didn't I expect that there would be such a deep prejudice between these two princes..."

"Hmph, this Zhu Yan is very stubborn, and Zhu Di is obviously not a good opponent. Both of them are arrogant people... Now it's time to provoke them..."

"It's also good to vent my sulking in the hall, ha ha."

So he went to the two of them and said:

"Sapphire has met the two Highnesses before, but unexpectedly, the two Highnesses are here. It is really destined."

Seeing that it was him, Zhu Yan and Zhu Di didn't dare to neglect him.

"Duke Liang, please be polite."

"Master Liang, please."

"Hehe." Sapphire cupped her hands. "I heard you guys arguing just now?"

"This..." The two were a little embarrassed, why did Lan Yu listen to it?

"Your Highness, peace is the most important thing in a family." Lan Yu continued, "Especially you, His Highness King Yan..."

Lan Yu continued to point at Zhu Di: "It's only natural for my younger brother to let my elder brother."

Zhu Di couldn't help narrowing his eyes when he thought of the scene of being warned by Lan Yu when he entered Beijing.

The words were not speculative, he snorted coldly and said: "In that case, you two talk!"

Zhu Di left.

Lan Yu said to Zhu Bian again: "I have long said that this son is born rebellious, and he will definitely encounter it in the future. If you point him a few words now, you will be exposed."

Zhu Yan subconsciously nodded, agreeing with Lan Yu's statement.

Looking at Zhu Di's back, a question suddenly appeared in Zhu Yan's mind.

"Why do I feel like I'm missing something..."

He felt that there was an important quality in himself that no longer seemed to exist.

Chapter 257

It is said that when Zhu Xiongying deduced Zhu's luck before, he successfully extracted a talent of Zhu's luck——

【resourceful】

Zhu Bian, who has lost this luck talent, has no longer increased his strategy, and has always remained at the previous level, and the negative influence of other gray luck on him has become more effective.

therefore.

His doubts about Zhu Di will continue forever.

Just now, Lan Yu pulled the side frame, which actually surprised Zhu Yan.

However, at this moment, he couldn't figure out why Sapphire would do this.

So here I realized that I was missing something.

Only to hear Sapphire say to him again:

"Your Highness, although Zhu Di is cunning, he will show his feet soon."

"How do you say it?" Zhu Yan asked.

Lan Yu said in a low voice: "During the early morning court today, His Majesty personally told all civil and military officials that a civil and military competition will be held for all His Royal Highnesses, and the winner will be given priority for the crown prince."

"That is to say..." Zhu Yan said, "This is a great opportunity for him to compete for the crown prince?"

"Exactly!" Lan Yu raised the corner of her mouth, narrowed her eyes into a line, and said with a sneer, "If His Highness Prince Jin needs anything, you can ask me for help at any time."

Zhu Bing glanced at Lan Yu.

Then nodded.

"Okay, that's it."

Seeing that the plan went so smoothly, Lan Yu felt very refreshed.

To know.

His move not only made Zhu Yuanzhang's two sons more at odds with each other, but also relieved his full of resentment.

"Your Highness, let's go in for a drink."

After Lan Yu drank a few cups with Zhu Yan, the two left the place one after another.

……

On the other side of Jixian Tower.

At this moment, on a table, two young students were sitting face to face, and they hit it off very well.

One of them is a handsome white-faced young man. Although he is not wearing luxurious clothes, he gives the impression of being indescribably expensive, and his every move is extremely natural, with long breathing and restrained charm, which is quite authentic Taoism essential.

The person opposite him was tall and slender, wearing a dirty long dress, his skin was dry and rough, and was a little tanned by the sun. He should have just completed a very long journey.

From the perspective of others, these two people are one in the sky and the other in the earth.

But the two students are not ordinary people, and they both quickly saw the similarities between each other and themselves.

That is their eyes, there is a desire for truth.

The handsome white-faced boy was holding a folding fan, and he placed it gently on the table, then straightened his sitting posture, and asked:

"Your feet are full of travel and dust, you must be a scholar who will go to Beijing for an exam, right?"

"That's right, I'm Xu Guan in Xiachizhou, and I studied from Tianmen Academy in Taiping Prefecture. I went back to Beijing to prepare for the Chunwei exam."

"So it's Mr. Xu." The white-faced boy said with a calm smile, "My surname is Zhu, and my name is Quan."

Seeing that Zhu Quan was young, Xu couldn't help asking curiously:

"Brother Zhu, are you also going to be a student of Chunwei?"

"...That's sort of it." Zhu Quan smiled, changed the subject and said, "Come on, let me have a drink first."

Xu Guan has been traveling abroad for a long time, and he has a lot of heroism in his body, and he enjoys drinking very much.

"It's my honor to meet Brother Zhu, a young talent. I must first do it as a respect."

The two of them exchanged cups and cups, and chatted for a while about the topics of South China Sea and North China, and they hit it off very well.

But I don't know when it started, and the topic went to the issue of politics.

Zhu Quan said: "The sage said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. The current imperial court's strict regulations are really against the way of Huang Lao."

Xu Guan smiled lightly.

In other words, he would use the classics to correct his fallacies.

But now he doesn't want to do that.

Because of the nine years of traveling, he has seen countless sufferings, and he knows that being brave can't solve any problems.

Moreover, these words have a lot of opinions on the current government, and they are too arrogant.

Is it possible for crazy students to comprehend the things that need to be considered in governing a country?

It is only meaningful to talk about this issue after passing the scientific examination and embarking on an official career.

"Strict government orders also have advantages. Huang Lao's way of saying that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish may not be what you said... hey, let's not talk about that."

When Zhu Quan heard this, he was puzzled at first, and then a little unconvinced.

"Then tell me, what does it mean to govern a big country like cooking a small fish?"
