Daming: From the end of Hongwu

373 Chapter 371 - Disagreement
The several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the hall are each blooming with their dazzling brilliance, which is really beautiful and fascinating.

This made Zhen Wu have to admit that it is really not easy to be a cadre.

Even though he felt a little offended by Du Sheng's behavior, and even felt that his personality was insulted, but he didn't know why, but he couldn't feel any dislike for Du Sheng.

People do not blame?
Or Zhen Wu subconsciously hoped that Annan would have more such wonderful people.

Zhen Wu didn't know about this.

But Zhen Wu knew that these gold and silver treasures should be the best thing to test the cadres, even the beauty may not be enough.

Because of his resistance in this area, Zhen Wu couldn't help but be tempted when he reached the Golden Immortal realm, so he couldn't believe how many people in this world could remain indifferent when facing these things.

Of course, Zhen Wu's temptation was not because he wanted to collect money to do things.

He has very low principles for being a human being.

He looked at these gold, silver and jewels, and at the moment, he was only thinking about one thing, whether he should... black and white.

Once the money is collected, nothing can be done, and I will do whatever I like.

However, Zhen Wu thought for a long time, but still endured this rather tempting thought.

If it was something else, he might really have done it this way, but for a state matter like attacking Annan, Zhen Wu really didn't want to dirty his feathers.

They are upright and upright teachers of justice, there is no need to accept this money to provoke public opinion and slander, not to mention that after he takes down Annan, it will still be theirs.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu's eyebrows suddenly twitched with anger.

Du Sheng, this bastard, actually gave them their things as gifts, it's so damn hateful, and what's even worse is that he was almost bewitched by this old thief to accept it.

Outrageous.

Zhen Wu's face darkened, and he snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Du, you can't see people right."

Not allowed?

Du Sheng immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Duke, we still have more, this is easy to discuss."

hiss.

Zhen Wu almost didn't come up, he was talking about being inaccurate, what was Du Xing talking about?
Not enough? !
Good guy.

What a fucking good guy.

"Come on."

Zhen Wu shouted with a sullen face, and when he saw Cheng Liang walking in, Zhen Wu then said coldly: "Seeing off the guests."

Du Sheng was dumbfounded.

How come Zhao Guogong is real.

This is quite different from what he had imagined. He quickly said to Zhen Wu: "Why did the Duke get angry? Did the servant say something offensive? The servant hereby apologizes to the Duke and asks the Duke forgive."

Zhen Wu looked at Du Sheng, and he suddenly became very serious and said: "Zhen is actually very happy to help Mr. Du, but if a small country deceives me, Ming, and it is related to my prestige, Zhen can't take it as a trivial matter Since Mr. Du said that someone with ulterior motives pretended to be a child of the Chen family, it is better for Mr. Du to stay in the capital temporarily. When the child of the Chen family arrives in Beijing, the truth will be revealed after Mr. Du argues with him in court? Why do you need to send these things to the court? Zhen."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu turned around and waved his hand.

Cheng Liang ignored Du Sheng's unwilling struggle, grabbed Du Sheng with an iron fist and walked out.

Annoyed, Zhen Wu called the monkey in loudly again. He pointed to the gold, silver and jewels and said, "Throw these things out for them too."

"what?"

The monkey wondered, "We don't want it?"

"I want your mother's head." Zhen Wu cursed in a bad mood: "What do you think I am?"

The monkey shrank from being scolded, and quickly called a few more people in, carried all the things back and returned them, but when returning them, the monkey couldn't help but bleed.

When he and Cheng Liang were waiting outside, they already regarded these as their own. They planned to ask Zhen Wu, who had made a fortune, for a reward to go drinking, but it was all for naught.

And when Du Sheng was kicked out of the gate of Zhao Guogong's mansion, he looked at the grand gate, still full of doubts, why was he kicked out?

Logically speaking, shouldn't there be a banquet?

Why is Zhao Guogong not following the rules today?

But he didn't know that Zhen Wu had already fallen into deep thought at this time.

Zhen Wu has never forgotten that he still has the script given by Zhu Di. When Chen Tianping arrives in the capital, he needs to act as a vanguard to make things worse, so that all civil and military officials have to support Zhu Di's desire to fight. Send Annan's idea, or at least make a fuss so that civil and military officials can't say anything to reject it.

In fact, there are no fools who can become an official in the imperial court. After the invasion of Annan, Ming's control over the Nanyang Peninsula will rise in a straight line. This is directly related to the Nanyang trade. Many big families on the southeast coast have been trading at sea since the Yuan Dynasty. Constantly, they have more or less contacts with Japanese pirates, pirates at sea, and some anti-Ming rebels in the early Ming Dynasty. These big clans rely on these relationships to make a lot of money in Nanyang trade, and those pirates , Japanese pirates, etc. also lived happily at sea because of these many merchant ships.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was unable to deal with the sea affairs, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to impose a ban on the sea, but how could it be possible to completely ban it when it was profitable.

Now that Zhu Di wants to fight Annan, he obviously intends to use the land of Annan to clean up the South China Sea, open up and maintain trade routes. After there is no wave, they have to rely on the court if they want to trade, and relying on the court, not to mention the need to look at the face of the court, the interests are also very different, how can they accept this.

This is why since Zheng He's voyages to the West, this policy has been bad-mouthed by civil servants, even at the expense of this policy, and Annan has not had a good internal affairs in the past 20 years since he fought it. Talented people can manage Annan well, and even when Zhu Di died, all kinds of rebellions could no longer be suppressed in an instant. Yang Shiqi and other civil servants began to keep asking Zhu Zhanji to give up Annan.

Since then, Annan has disappeared, and Western affairs have also been abandoned.

Even if Zhu Jianshen takes over.

This Emperor Chenghua reappeared iron and blood skills, not only cleaned up the mess left by Baozong bit by bit, gave Daming a big mouthful of blood, but also put down rebellions in Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Mobei, and Northeast. And the official administration became clear again, just such an excellent emperor, but when he wanted to go to the West again to clean up the situation in Annan, an official named Liu Daxia actually burned all the materials of Zheng He's voyages.

This Liu Daxia is similar to Yang Shiqi who persuaded Zhu Zhanji to give up Annan.

And what is Zhu Jianshen's evaluation among civil servants?
Be honest.

What a hehe.

No wonder the fans of later generations are always yelling at the civil official group. This is not unreasonable. It is estimated that the Yuan Dynasty really spoiled those old men.

Gossip less, talk about the present.

Zhu Di knew that there must be different opinions in the court regarding the military deployment of Annan, so Zhu Di asked Zhen Wu, a shameless man who was as thief as a monkey, to use Chen Tianping's incident to make a fuss so that no troops would be sent out. No way.

Zhen Wu is also aware of this situation.

But now that Du Province actually entered Beijing before Chen Tianping, Zhen Wu was a little uncertain about what kind of variables this Du Province would bring. After all, Du Province had a lot of golden beans.

Who knows how many people can be bought to speak and do things for him.

So, when Cheng Liang came back, Zhen Wu called Cheng Liang, and solemnly ordered: "Have someone go and keep an eye on Du Sheng for me. At the end of the day, what did he do, who did he meet, nothing happened." Report everything to me in detail, and in addition, send someone to find out where Chen Tianping and the others have gone, grandma, you are so slow, you are not afraid of dying."

"No." Cheng Liang responded and walked quickly.

Zhen Wu looked at Cheng Liang's leaving back, tapped his fingers on the table, and showed a sneer.

No matter what era, why are there always some people who are willing to harm the country, betray the country, and slander their own country in order to seek their own self-interest.

Why don't they have the heart of a compatriot!

……

Zhen Wu originally thought that Du Sheng would be able to calm down for a few days after being kicked out of the mansion by him, or even if Du Sheng ran away from other relationships, it would always take a few days, but he didn't expect that Du Sheng would be on the King of Han the next day. The gate of the mansion.

This made Zhen Wu vigilant.

He didn't care how Du Xing got on the line with Zhu Gaoxu, but he was particularly concerned about Zhu Gaoxu's attitude.

You must know that Zhu Gaoxu is not just a simple prince, but his power in the army is also a mountain top, which should not be underestimated. If Zhu Gaoxu wants to help Du Sheng, Zhu Gaoxu can really cause a lot of trouble.

Zhen Wu frowned and asked Cheng Liang: "When did Sheng Du go to Hanwang Mansion?"

"Sishi, as soon as I got the news, I came to report to the Duke." Cheng Liang said.

Zhen Wu reckoned the time. It was almost noon, and Du Sheng had not entered Hanwang Mansion not long ago. He thought for a while and said, "Let's keep an eye on it. When Du Sheng comes out of Hanwang Mansion, let me know as soon as possible."

"Understandable."

"Okay, you go down first." Zhen Wu said.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu got up and came to the window, he looked at the sky outside, and thought worriedly in his heart, Zhu Gaoxu must not do anything stupid.

However, until noon, Zhu Yuying came to the study and asked Zhen Wu to eat, but Zhen Wu did not wait until Cheng Liang came to report.

Zhen Wu sighed and said: "It seems that this old thief Du Xing is still working in the Han Dynasty's mansion. Seeing that things are troublesome."

Zhu Yuying saw that Zhen Wu's complexion was a little pale, she stepped forward and touched Zhen Wu's forehead, and asked with concern: "I see that your complexion is not very good, but you are not feeling well? No, I will call the doctor right away Let me show you."

Zhen Wu squeezed Zhu Yuying's hand, stopped Zhu Yuying's movements, he shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's not a physical problem, it's just that I'm a little worried about the errands, it's okay."

Zhu Yuying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Zhen Wu said, but she still cared: "Even if you are bothered by errands, you should pay attention to rest. The whole family is only counted on you. Even if you are not a concubine, you are for the sake of your mother." Children, you should also take it easy, if you are tired, at worst, you can ask your father for a vacation and take a rest."

"Look at what you said, let's go, I'm going to eat, after I finish eating, I can go for a stroll around Hanwang Mansion." Zhen Wu grabbed Zhu Yuying and walked outside.

Zhu Yuying wondered: "Go to Hanwang's mansion? Didn't your husband say that you want to hang out your second brother?"

"air?"

Zhen Wu snorted and said: "Who knew that the more this kid is aired, the more he will be able to float, and if he continues to be aired, he will go to heaven."

"Did the second brother get into trouble again?" Zhu Yuying asked curiously and worriedly.

Zhen Wu rubbed Zhu Yuying's smooth cheeks and said: "It's okay, don't worry about it, by the way, what are we going to eat today? Is there roast lamb?"

When Zhen Wu changed the subject, Zhu Yuying's mind immediately turned to today's food, and she smiled and talked to Zhen Wu about what Zhen Wu likes to eat today.

Wait until Zhen Wu and the others finish their lunch.

Zhen Wu came to the yard and wandered around for a while, thinking about things while walking, and when he figured it out, he called Cheng Liang and asked, "Du Xing hasn't come out of Hanwang Mansion yet?"

Cheng Liang shook his head and said: "There is no news yet, and it must be still in the Palace of the King of Han."

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Okay, then we don't have to wait any longer, let's get the horses ready, let's go to Hanwang Mansion."

Cheng Liang should be, go down and prepare the horse.

soon.

Zhen Wu and his party rode towards the Palace of the King of Han.

However, when Zhen Wu and his group just arrived at the gate of King Han's Mansion, they bumped into Du Sheng coming out of it. Zhen Wu saw that Du Sheng and his entourage were empty-handed, and his heart sank.

Needless to say, Zhu Gaoxu must have accepted Du Sheng's gift.

The two may not know what kind of deal they have reached.

Zhen Wu's mood suddenly changed. In such a mood, he didn't even respond to Du Sheng's visit. After getting off his horse, he went straight to the gate of Hanwang Mansion.

The guards of Han Palace knew Zhen Wu, and they didn't dare to stop him forcefully, they could only follow Zhen Wu's ass to persuade him, but Zhen Wu ignored him and walked straight through the vertical flower gate to the middle hall.

After arriving at the middle hall, Zhen Wu thought that Zhu Gaoxu had to be called out from the back house, but he didn't expect that Zhu Gaoxu was in the middle hall at this moment, and not only Zhu Gaoxu was there, but Zhu Gaochi was also there.

After seeing each other, the three of them were a little confused.

It was Zhu Gaoxu who spoke first: "Brother-in-law came over in such a hurry, wouldn't he be the same as the boss, come to persuade me?"

Zhen Wu didn't answer Zhu Gaoxu's words, but looked at Zhu Gaochi suspiciously.

Zhu Gaochi explained with a wry smile: "I have just arrived, but just after I persuaded him, the second child became anxious."

Zhen Wu nodded, looked at Zhu Gaoxu in a blink of an eye, and said, "Yes, I came here this time to persuade you. Du Sheng's things are a bit tricky. If you really want to accept them, I won't stop you, but he wants to You'd better not make up your mind about what you do."

"Ah."

Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said: "Brother-in-law, what you and the boss said are really exactly the same, why? I am the only one who is stupid or ignorant when co-authoring?"

Zhen Wu frowned.

Zhu Gaochi said with a bitter face: "Second brother, who said you are stupid, but you are just being confused. The matter involving Annan is very important to the emperor. Don't you understand why you want to meddle in this matter rashly? Aren't you afraid of offending your father?"

"Don't use the old man to pressure me. I'm not a brainless person. Annan just needs to be obedient. Does it matter who decides? What's the matter if I collect something? Father, can you still annoy me for this?" Zhu Gaoxu scanned Glancing at Zhen Wu and the two of them, he said, "It's the two of you, a crown prince and a duke, who came to the door in such a hurry just because of this matter. What's the matter? When did you become like this?"

Zhu Gaoxu even felt a little wronged.

These days, Zhen Wu and him have been ignoring each other, but they are getting closer and closer to Zhu Gaochi. Now Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaochi have come to trouble him in step, which makes him feel as if he has been robbed by Zhu Gaochi. My heart is full of unhappiness.

Zhu Gaoxu poked his neck and looked at Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

To be honest, what Zhu Gaoxu said made sense. As long as Annan is obedient, it doesn't matter who decides. They don't have to occupy Annan, but does the Hu Dynasty established according to Li Jiyao seem to be obedient?

Li Jiyao dared to seek to usurp the throne, how could he be willing to be a puppet!
Ten thousand steps back, even if Li Jishu is willing to be a puppet, if there is a chance to occupy it by himself, it is the most reassuring to occupy it by himself.

Zhen Wu took a deep breath and said: "Stop messing around, listen to me, and return Du Sheng's things. There are some things you don't know. The old man has had secret conversations with me many times. This is not what you thought. It's that simple, as for me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are here to persuade you, it's just for your own good."

It's all for your own good.

This sentence has a lot of lethal power.

Especially in the face of paranoid people.

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "I don't need you to do it for my own good. Brother-in-law, aren't you annoyed that I blocked Wang Tong's attack on the title recently? I will propose this matter to my father and let Wang Tong inherit the title. This is the head office, right?" .”

Zhen Wu was speechless.

Zhu Gaochi said anxiously: "Second brother, why don't you understand? It's not the same thing. You haven't seen me these days. Have I even disappeared from my Prince's Mansion? There are too many people who are interested in this matter." You can't intervene."

"I use you to pretend to be kind. You can see it, but can't I see it? You are allowed to buy those people's hearts, but you are not allowed to sell them? I told you today. You can't interfere." Zhu Gaoxu's temper became stronger, and he didn't hide anything, and said everything straightforwardly.

Seeing this, Zhen Wu took a deep breath: "Are you serious?"

Seeing Zhen Wu's solemn expression, Zhu Gaoxu habitually wanted to shrink back, but he really didn't want to lose face in front of Zhu Gaochi, so he stuck his neck and said, "Naturally."

After finishing speaking, he added: "I know that my brother-in-law felt that the boss was more thoughtful and capable since he was a child, but I don't accept it, and I also want you to see that I, Zhu Gaoxu, am not a person who can only charge forward in a daze, Annan I also have an opinion on this matter, and I will definitely be able to do this to impress you."

Zhen Wu nodded, he took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxu, then stopped talking, turned his head and walked outside, he could see that Zhu Gaoxu took money from Du Sheng and planned to intervene in this matter, it seemed that it was not rash Decided, more like deliberate.

If so, then there is no need to persuade.

It is useless to have different opinions.

What's more, he couldn't say too much to Zhu Gaoxu because Zhu Di gave him a password.

It's better to read the real chapter in your hand, he will be his, and Zhu Gaoxu will be Zhu Gaoxu's.

He is also happy to see Zhu Gaoxu can impress him.

Just...is it possible?
And Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhen Wu's back, and felt ruthless in his heart for a moment. He knew Zhen Wu's temperament, and he knew clearly that if he wanted Zhen Wu to be used by him, he had to show the ability that Zhen Wu recognized.

So this time, he will let Zhen Wu get to know him again.

He wants to tell Zhen Wu that he is no longer the young apprentice who first joined the army.

He is now His Highness the King of Han respected by the army!
He can also put forward favorable ideas and suggestions on major events and layout of the country.
