Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Summon the disciples of the sect leader?

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and felt that this method was good.

Now the court is in turmoil, the military commander's merits have not yet developed, and the scholars regard him as a bastard and do not deal with him at all.

It is indeed necessary to add some more allies.

"Taizu, I understand."

"I'll do it as soon as this matter is over."

"I just don't know how many of them I can find."

Although Taizu's proposal was very good, Zhu Youjian still felt that there was little hope.

Those children of aristocratic families...

It would be nice to be able to pick out four or five useful people.

“Talent is not about abundance, but about quality.”

"If nothing else, if you can find another talent like Zhu Houcong, there may be hundreds of mediocre people."

"Although this bastard likes to cultivate immortality, I have to say that his Machiavellian methods are definitely the highest since the founding of the Ming Dynasty."

"What a pity, he is a weirdo!"

Of course Li Chen knew what the current Ming clan clan was like.

He didn't expect to find much.

Try your luck, if you can find it, you'll earn it.

"Forehead..."

"Does Taizu think so highly of him?"

"I thought Taizu would..."

When Li Chen mentioned Zhu Houcong, Zhu Youjian was stunned.

Who?

Am I right?

Lord Sejong?

Didn’t that guy not go to court for 20 years?

Can the evaluation be so high?

"how?"

"Very surprised?"

"Oh, are you talking about that bastard not going to court for 20 years?"

"Then think about it in another direction. If you don't go to court for 20 years, you can still control the entire court."

"You should figure out these methods yourself."

"Let me tell you this, he tried to punish Jiang Bin and Qian Ning when he came to power. After some dealings, he successfully reached a certain compromise and political understanding with the courtiers in power, and expressed his political attitude through great etiquette."

"In the first 20 years, he was determined to reform and he was a wise king."

"Unfortunately, his problem is that he's too smart."

"At that time, he had completely seen the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, and knew that with his ability, if he wanted to defeat [-]% of the people, he would end up dead."

"You can find out how many times there were fires in the palace during his reign. Those civil servants already wanted to kill him."

"So as a smart man, he didn't have the courage to defeat the enemy. Naturally, he just gave up and stopped doing anything in the next 20 years."

"As long as those civil servants don't go too far, he won't bother to care."

"It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a bastard if he has the ability but does not try to change."

"But his intelligence is second to none. He was able to compete with old foxes like Zhang Tinghe at the age of 14, and even completely suppressed the civil service group in less than a few years."

"Do you think this kind of person is mediocre?"

"If you can have half the means as he does, even without our help, I'm afraid you can stabilize the current situation in the court."

"Hey, it's strange to say that there are three emperors in our family who were all upgraded from princes. How come you have stretched your crotch..."

Li Chen chuckled at Zhu Youjian's confusion.

Zhu Houcong was indeed not a good emperor, but he was definitely a smart man.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, there are so many emperors throughout the ages.

Apart from the cheating ancestors in their respective families, this person is definitely one of the top three among the younger generation in terms of intelligence alone.

It's a pity that because he is too smart and can see too much, he is restrained and dare not give it a try.

So sometimes, being stupid has its benefits.

At least there aren't that many scruples.

You think so, Zhu Youjian~

Zhu Youjian: "..."

Zhu Youjian, who was inexplicably disliked again, was speechless at this time.

The key is that he can't refute it yet.

After all, what Taizu said was fine.

"cough..."

"I...I still have something to do."

"Let's not talk anymore!"

"Then I will send someone to invite Zhu Yujian immediately!"

Touched my nose.

Zhu Youjian decisively chose to escape.

You can't say it, but you can't curse it, but you don't dare to curse it.

Then what are you doing here...

Hurry up!

Look at Zhu Youjian who left without hesitation at all.

Li Chen smiled and touched his chin.

This kid has a bad temper.

However, although this boy is not strong enough, he at least has the backbone and is diligent.

Whenever he comes to Zhuqi Town, Li Chen rarely goes through such trouble.

It would probably be easier to just run away from home and find a suitable Zhu family child to develop in secret, and wait until the country is destroyed before revolting to reshape the country, than to bring that nonsense.

-------------------------

Nanyang.

Tang Palace.

The old Tang Dynasty King Zhu Shuoyu was making out with his concubine at home today.

Although he was old, he doted on this concubine.

They sleep in the same bed almost every day.

"master!"

"Oh no!"

"There is someone outside, saying they are looking for you!"

Just as the two of them were making love to each other, an old housekeeper suddenly ran over and looked extremely panicked.

Zhu Shuoyu glanced at him with a very impatient expression.

"What are you panicking about?"

"In this realm of Nanyang, who dares to cause trouble for me!"

"Say, what's wrong?"

In a panic, the sky is falling? !

This is Nanyang, the fiefdom of my King Tang!

Even if the sky fell, it wouldn't fall on his head.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound outside the door.

Then, I saw several people who were looking after the house being thrown directly into the courtyard.

Then more than a dozen Jin Yiwei rushed in holding embroidered spring knives.

The leader glanced at Zhu Shuoyu, cupped his hands and smiled.

"Tian Ergeng, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards, has met the King of Tang."

"I came in a hurry today, please forgive me if I disturb you."

Tian Ergen?

Although Zhu Shuoji was trapped in Nanyang and could not move around, he had heard a lot about the famous name of Jinyiwei Tian Ergen.

This is Zhu Youjian's No. [-] Ma Chai, who acts extremely domineeringly!

He came today. Could it be that His Majesty was dissatisfied with him?

Although Zhu Shuoji is old, he is not stupid.

Tian Ergeng's daring to be so domineering must have been under Zhu Youjian's instructions.

Although he still didn't know what was going on, he could only lower his head and endure it for now.

"Jinyiwei?"

"This king is a member of the royal family."

"If you act like this, you won't be afraid that I will go to His Majesty to sue you!"

Zhu Shuoyu pushed his concubine away and stood up from the chair.

He pressed the fire and asked!

However, Tian Ergen didn't care. He straightened his clothes and smiled.

"His Majesty's word of mouth."

"It would be more appropriate for Prince Tang to kneel down and listen."

Ok?

Word of mouth?

Zhu Shuoyu's frown deepened.

What's going on!

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Shuoyu finally knelt on the ground after wondering.

"I heard that the Tang Dynasty King Zhu Shuoji imprisoned his descendants for no reason. Is this any different from an animal?"

"If this spreads out, the people will laugh and say that my old Zhu family is immoral!"

"Zhu Shuoji immediately gave up his position as king of the Tang Dynasty and passed it on to the crown prince Zhu Qiqi, and then ordered Zhu Yujian to go to the Imperial Academy to study."

"As for Old Tang Wang, please bring your concubine and concubine to live in the capital together."

"I will prepare a small house for you in the capital to retire in."

"If you don't accept it, feel free to come to the palace to find me!"

"Kin this!"

Tian Ergeng quickly read out Zhu Youjian's oral instructions.

Zhu Shuoyu was dumbfounded after hearing the whole story!

What?

Going to Beijing to retire?

Well said!

Isn't this house arrest?

Why!

What do I have to do with my own son, Zhu Youjian?

After all, I am your elder, how dare you do this to me!
