Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 775: The Mad Ming Court

The person who was most happy about the arrival of the soup dumplings and glutinous rice balls was Yaya.

Even adults can’t resist the charm of dumplings, let alone children.

Look, ever since Yaya met these two little guys, she really wants to eat and live with them.

If I look at her a few more times, the smile on my face can't be wiped away.

So much so that for the first time, she took the initiative to ask Master Hu to feed the two kids personally.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Hu nodded and agreed.

However, he also reminded her of many things to pay attention to.

After all, although this ball looks cute and adorable, its lethality is always there.

It doesn't show up on weekdays because this dumpling is too salty and not because people don't have the ability.

Fortunately, Yaya was not a noisy person. She remembered carefully everything that Master Hu told her, and then she jumped up and down to find Tuanzi.

Master Hu squatted aside and watched with a smile as the little man and the two dumplings sat together happily.

Hujiazhuang was happy, but the Yingtian City Palace seemed a little silent and desolate at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the Jinshen Hall with an angry face. Contrary to his usual behavior, he neither read memorials nor discussed government affairs. Instead, he sat there staring blankly ahead.

"Song Li, do you think these people can let us go?"

"Or do you think that these people can hold back when they see great benefits ahead of them?"

At this time, Song Li was no longer the old man he used to be.

It is obvious that he looks much more energetic and his back is straighter.

The most important thing is that I feel more energetic now, instead of being as dry and rotten as before.

Apparently, he also practiced Master Hu's "magic arts" in Hujia Village.

However, what remained unchanged was that even though he was standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang and could not be seen by Zhu Yuanzhang at all, he still bowed respectfully and answered.

"Your Majesty, from my perspective, this matter mainly focuses on two aspects."

"The first is that your majesty has made great achievements and has a long life. Some of the ministers were waiting for your majesty to pass away and try their luck. Now they feel that their hopes are slim and they are greatly disappointed."

"On the other hand, I hope to get this method of prolonging life from Your Majesty. After all, who wouldn't want this obvious benefit?"

Song Li is now truly tied to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now he has also started practicing, but he was able to do so with the help of Zhu Yuanzhang.

What's more, given his identity, he naturally identifies with Zhu Yuanzhang even more.

Therefore, he now speaks a lot more boldly, at least he is no longer silent and says "I will listen to the emperor's judgment" like before!

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of these two points. Of course he could think of them.

So, after listening to Song Li's words, he simply sneered twice.

"Yes!"

"Many people think that my existence is a hindrance, so they attack me."

"I never thought that not only did I solve the poisoning problem, but I also regained my youth."

"Humph, they are really anxious!"

"While we are alive, their lives will naturally be difficult!"

"They all hope that we will die soon."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were so straightforward.

But Song Li didn't react much, because in his opinion, this was actually normal.

Isn't the relationship between the monarch and his subjects one of mutual vigilance and mutual cooperation?

If you feel that something is inappropriate and it irritates the other person, don't you have to think of ways to kill the other person?

It’s just that these things are hidden, so they are not that obvious.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't find it strange that he didn't hear Song Li's words. He was actually just venting his anger at the moment.

He had been prepared for this since he chose to face everyone with such a young face without any cover-up and received waves of exclamations.

In fact, he had been planning this since he was in Hujiazhuang and asked Song Li to start practicing this "immortal method" to restore his youth.

The court officials are not stupid!

If only Zhu Yuanzhang regained his youth, then maybe he got some "magic medicine". In that case, they might send someone to inquire about it, but they would not take it too seriously.

But if even Song Li, a prisoner, could regain his youth, the situation would be completely different.

What does this mean?

This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang did not rely on any "magic medicine" to regain his youth.

There must be some universal method that can be used by people like Song Li who have been convicted of crimes.

Moreover, in the past few days, some smart ministers have asked the wives of the nobles in their families to enter the palace to pay homage to the queen.

After confirming that the queen had also become younger and looked much better, everyone went crazy.

It's not just a matter of being at odds with Zhu Yuanzhang and hoping that he would die soon.

But they also hope to prolong their life.

Even though all these years, records are about foolish rulers of various dynasties who pursued immortality and eventually lost their country or died early.

But in fact, in any big family with some heritage and a long history, who doesn’t have some health-preserving prescriptions or exercises?

Prolong your life!

Who doesn’t have any ideas?

It would have been fine if they didn't know about it before, but now not only did it appear before their eyes alive, even Song Li, a criminal who had just been sentenced, enjoyed it.

How could those adults who thought they were noble let it go?

Could it be that they are worse than a eunuch?

Therefore, in the court these days, there were all kinds of swords and sabers, fighting and strife, it was simply unbearable.

All matters of national affairs and political reform have been thrown aside by everyone.

Compared with being able to live a few more decades and regain youth, what does it matter if this family earns a little more or a little less?

It’s not like I don’t have money to eat, nor is it like I don’t have money to enjoy life.

Anyway, everything has to give way to this method of prolonging life.

They will never feel at ease until they get the method to prolong life.

In other words, in the dilemma of confrontation between the emperor and his ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly took out a bargaining chip that no one else had.

It is a chip that is extremely heavy and everyone is coveting it.

Restore youth and extend life!

Just for these two points, who wouldn’t be envious?

When Zhu Yuanzhang had this plan, he had actually already thought about the public's pursuit.

But now he realized that he had underestimated everyone's madness about this matter.

The palace is now under martial law, and many people have even been beaten to death in the past few days.

Although these people were coerced or bribed by people outside the palace to come and spy.

There were even some spies who had been placed in the palace a long time ago, and they were exposed because of this incident.

What they were greeted with was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang's thundering measures.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with the people himself, he also became frightened.

Why are these people so crazy?!
