Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 21
Zhu Ji is not a person who likes to exchange shallow words.

It was the first time they met, not to mention resisting deliberately in order to get rid of possible troubles in the future. In front of Xu Da and Feng Sheng, Zhu Ji's performance seemed a bit ordinary.

He thought carefully how Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know.

Thinking of the Haikou that he boasted when he came, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little depressed.

Although Xu Da didn't respond positively to Zhu Yuanzhang's request yesterday, whether Zhu Ji's return to the imperial family is worthy of Xu Da's full escort or not, I'm afraid it still depends on the first impression Zhu Ji gave them today.

Bisheng Zhu Ji was always thinking about those meaningless taboos in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, so this guy was always used to hiding his strength and biding his time, without the slightest edge that young people should have.

Hearing the three people beside him talking nonsense, Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Zhu Ji impatiently:

"Bastard, let you tell the two princes what you think about this court, why are you telling us some trivial things about the parents?"

"Talk about Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and those Huaixi nobles who you said were half buried in the ground."

Xu Da and Feng Sheng were naturally shocked, while Zhu Ji who was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang even widened his eyes.

At this time, he really wanted to ask Zhu Yuanzhang, what kind of food does the old man have at home today, so that you drink like this?

You, a third-rank official, dare to say this kind of head loss in front of Xu Da and Feng Sheng. Do you really regard this Daming as your own?Your surname is Zhu, not a real pig!

"can say?"

If Xu Da and Feng Sheng, two warriors, were not by his side, in fact, Zhu Ji wanted to just lift his ass and run away.

He knew that the old thing who wanted to be his father halfway through was really not at all slipping away.

After staring at Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, Zhu Ji licked his dry lips with his tongue, and then stammered and asked in a low voice.

In fact, Xu Da and Feng Sheng wanted to talk more, even if they could talk about this kind of thing, they should never talk about it.The bull-eyed Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting beside him. Even if Zhu Ji said this, they wouldn't dare to listen.

In the matter of losing their heads, they are naturally ahead of Zhu Ji.

It is very likely that Zhu Ji is still alive and kicking after hearing about it, but it is hard to say whether they will die or not.

"What can't be said, we are all from Huaixi anyway, and we have nothing to do with Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong. Say it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, I will give you this opportunity to perform even if I force it.We don't believe it, how long can you hold on to this little thing.

As the saying goes, once the emperor roars, the court trembles three times.

Today Xu Da and Feng Sheng didn't feel like they were doing anything, they just pressed their hearts, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys into their stomachs.They unanimously decided that at this time, they would only be listeners with donkey hairs in their ears, and then, regardless of what they heard next, they would send their maid first when they went back.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, Zhu Ji let go of his vigilance, coughed lightly, and narrated what was in his heart.

"Speaking of Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, I have to talk about the four advisers who were with the emperor before the founding of the country."

"The first person who wants to come to Song Guogong is the most familiar one. Although Ying Guogong died young, he was the first to belong to him, and he is known for his martial arts. He was the first to put forward the idea of ​​the Ming Dynasty based on Yingtian Mansion."

When it comes to Feng Guoyong, not only Feng Sheng himself is sad, but also Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da miss him a little.During those years of swords and blood, this person also saved their lives.

Zhu Ji couldn't feel the past hidden in the hearts of the three of them, so he just continued to say:
"The second place is Li Shanchang, Duke of South Korea. He is the first counselor who joined the emperor after Ying Guogong. He is also from Huaixi. He is very capable and has helped the emperor a lot. He can be regarded as the number one hero in the founding of the country. .”

"The third person is Zhu Sheng. This man retired and returned to his hometown a few years ago. But it is undeniable that if he hadn't put forward the nine-word strategy, it is still unknown that Daming would have stood firm among the many rebels until the end. "

"As for the last one, Mr. Qingtian Liu Ji, when facing Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, his choice greatly shortened the time for the emperor to rule the world. It is not unimportant."

Zhu Ji's comments made Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them feel refreshed.

Looking back, on the road to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these four counselors did play an important role at certain key points.What Zhu Ji said is not the words of a family in the countryside.

"In this court, a very strange situation has occurred since the founding of the country. Most of the ministers from the dragon are from Huaixi."

"These people are naturally huddled together. After a long time, no matter whether they are intentional or not, they will naturally become what I call the circle of nobles in Huaixi. And the core of this circle naturally needs a person with a high enough title and a strong enough prestige. in charge."

"The two Dukes of the State and Duke Wei are well versed in the principle of avoiding taboos. Presumably, they seldom have contact with these people outside of official duties. Duke Zheng is young and lacks prestige, and Duke Cao is the emperor's nephew. They are afraid to avoid them."

"So this top spot can only be taken by Li Shanchang."

"Literati, they are more or less vain. They say no, but in their hearts, it's hard to say."

After some analysis, not only did Xu Da and Feng Sheng's muscles tense and he was ready to kneel down to admit his mistakes to Zhu Yuanzhang at any time, but even Zhu Yuanzhang himself felt a little nervous.

If these words are spread, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the court tomorrow.

After sneaking a few glances outside the living room to confirm that no fifth person heard these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's nervousness eased a bit.

"Back then, Liu Ji didn't want to be the gun in the hands of the emperor. Li Shanchang also knew that if he lost his opponent in the court, he would be in trouble for a long time, so he simply handed over the power in his hand."

"However, although he has no power in his hands, his influence at the core of Huaixi Xungui is still there. No, his students gradually use his influence to become one of Huaixi Xungui's elites with their superior courage and skills. The most expensive location.”

Having said that, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Ji's mouth.

"Being born as a human wants to become a fairy, and sitting on the ground wants to go to heaven. Some people's desires, when they are not satisfied, they are cautious. Once they are satisfied, their desires will be hard to fill."

Zhu Ji didn't say any more words that one person is below ten thousand.

We are all smart people, so much nonsense has been said, the main topic only needs to be understood.The eyes of the bulls who didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang turned into squinted eyes carefully, and they looked out of the door not once or twice.

He casually picked up the tea on the table to moisten his throat, and diligently filled the tea bowls of Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them. Zhu Ji grinned and watched the three of them wandering in the sky with a smile.
