Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

"What did you say!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and roared angrily.

Liu Ji seemed to have known for a long time what kind of reaction His Majesty the Emperor would have as soon as his words came out.

So after finishing speaking, he quickly lowered his head, just like an ostrich, not daring to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang's angry roar ended that Liu Ji raised his head cautiously: "Your Majesty, the court is responsible."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wine glass quickly enlarged in front of Liu Ji.

If it were Liu Song, there is a high probability that he would not be able to hide at all and would be hit so hard.

But Liu Ji was not Liu Song. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid the flying wine glass.

The wine glass passed over his face and smashed to the ground.

However, even though the wine glass was dodged, the wine inside still spilled all over Liu Ji's body and face.

Although Liu Ji was not a rigid person, he didn't dare to wipe it at this time.

Just kneel there honestly.

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth: "Use the imperial court's money to help you people enjoy it."

"Liu Ji, Liu Ji, why didn't I see that you are so smart before?"

"But you are right. This is your blatant spending of the court's money. It does not count as corruption or bribery."

In the last sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang said it through gritted teeth.

It looked like he wanted to bite Liu Ji into pieces bit by bit.

Although Liu Ji could predict that Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction would not be too small, he did not expect that Lao Zhu's reaction would be so big.

Even someone like him, who was used to seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's rage, felt frightened for a while.

My scalp felt like it was going to explode.

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry.

To put it bluntly, these ministers are just working for him.

A group of migrant workers spend their boss's money to book themselves high-end hotels every day and eat meals from five-star chefs.

As the boss of the company, it would be strange if Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry.

As far as Liu Ji's food standards are concerned, they are almost the same as those of an emperor.

"Hello, you are really my good ministers." Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss for words for a moment.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry, Liu Ji was a little afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be angry. He quickly continued to explain: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is really what His Highness the King meant. I didn't agree with it at first, but His Highness insisted. So I had to reluctantly agree."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "I really didn't realize that you, Liu Ji, are such an upright person."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang scanned the surrounding environment.

It's just a restaurant, and the equipment is already luxurious enough.

The palace where he lived in Yingtian Mansion was not much better than Liu Ji's.

The only difference is probably that there are no dragons or phoenixes here.

Although the construction is very good, there is nothing that exceeds the regulations.

It is obvious that "professionals" have been consulted during the layout.

Others might have thought that Liu Ji and the others were serious about it and did not dare to go beyond the rules.

But Lao Zhu felt that bastards like Liu Ji did it on purpose.

Just step on the red line and keep dancing on the edge of not passing the line.

I wanted to make him look annoyed, but there was no way.

The ridicule on Zhu Yuanzhang's face was clearly unnecessary.

Liu Ji naturally knew that his character was not convincing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

So, another person with extremely strong character was quickly moved out.

Liu Song!

"Your Majesty, this is really not something I can decide by myself. Lord Liu Song is also aware of this matter..."

While talking, Liu Ji secretly observed Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.

I found that Lao Zhu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The terrifying pressure made Liu Ji breathless.

Therefore, in order to share the pressure, Liu Ji decisively sold Liu Song.

"Your Majesty, everything the minister said is true. Lord Liu Song indeed agreed to this matter personally."

"Moreover, Master Liu Song's treatment is the best among all our Yanjing officials."

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was really shocked this time.

If it were someone else who was corrupted by this benefit, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't be too surprised.

But Liu Song, why did he become like this?

If Zhu Yuanzhang were allowed to select a few capable ministers and officials from the entire imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang would be able to jump out a lot at once.

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Liu Ji and so on.

However, if Zhu Yuanzhang were asked to select an official in the court who she believed was the most upright, there was absolutely no way he would be associated with corruption or bribery.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Liu Song was the only one.

This was not chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang solely based on his feelings about an official.

Lao Zhu inspected Liu Song more than once.

When there were no royal guards in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang once sent his own guards to visit Liu Song.

He even paid a private visit incognito and went to observe near Liu Song's house.

After the Jin Yiwei was established, Lao Zhu of course also sent the Jin Yiwei to conduct a detailed investigation of all information related to Liu Song.

He was completely sure that Liu Song was indeed fine.

After all, nothing in this world can escape the word serious.

No matter how good a person is at pretending, he cannot bear to look carefully with a magnifying glass.

And Liu Song is such a guy that even if he stares at him from head to toe with a magnifying glass, he can't see any problems.

Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, if anyone dared to say that he was bad in front of him every day, he would have been slapped by him long ago.

We are Zhu Yuanzhang, who established the Ming Dynasty step by step from begging for food, and yet you dare to point fingers at me. How can you not be the emperor if you are so capable?

Only Liu Song and Zhu Yuanzhang could barely tolerate it.

Because this guy really doesn't have any selfish motives.

But Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that Liu Song would also rebel and become a corrupt official.

Lao Zhu's mood at this time was extremely complicated.

"Everything you said is true." After Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he realized that his voice had become hoarse.

Once the words were spoken, it was naturally impossible for Liu Ji to change his words.

He quickly vowed: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true."

"Liu Ji's house is not far from my house. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can take him there now."

Liu Ji is not the kind of person who will drag someone into trouble even before he dies.

One of the most important reasons why he encouraged Zhu Yuanzhang so much was to make Zhu Yuanzhang listen patiently to his explanation.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was completely filled with anger.

He couldn't listen to anything now.

But Liu Ji believed that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang saw the situation on Liu Song's side.

It will definitely calm down quickly.Based on Liu Ji's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as he can understand the powerful relationship, most of the emperor's anger will definitely dissipate.

"The relationship between you and Liu Song is quite good and you haven't forgotten him yet." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a joking sneer.

Liu Ji did not dare to continue to anger Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

Keeping your head down, not daring to say more?
"What? Are you afraid that what you say will make many mistakes?" Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became less and less beautiful.

it is good!
Since Liu Ji wanted to drag Liu Song into the water together, Lao Zhu didn't mind burying one more.

It seemed that I had misjudged Liu Song before and thought he was an official worthy of being entrusted to the government.

As a result, just after leaving Yingtian Mansion and leaving his side, Liu Song's true colors were revealed.

Although he still hasn't eaten a bite of food, Liu Ji doesn't feel hungry at all now.

Nonsense, life is almost gone. How many people can eat heartlessly at this time?

Immediately ordered the butler to hitch up the car and prepare to travel.

When the carriage was ready, I saw the carriage pulled by two extremely handsome and pure white horses without a trace of hair.

And after that carriage that, in addition to not exceeding the regulations, was even more beautiful and exquisite than the carriages he usually used.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth.

According to Liu Ji, these things are all paid for by the imperial court.

Whenever he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but curse Zhu Han in his heart for being such a prodigal son.

Even if they dominate the world now, they can't do this.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not mention Zhu Han at all.

It was as if this matter was made by officials like them in Yanjing and had nothing to do with Zhu Han.

The distance between Liu Ji's residence and Liu Song's residence is really not that far.

Taking a carriage, it took less than a stick of incense to arrive at Liu Song's mansion.

Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang just had a cold face and didn't say a word.

But Liu Ji seemed to be experiencing a ruthless storm.

After finally getting out of the car, Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "The carriages you have here in Yanjing are pretty good. We in Yingtian Mansion don't even have such good carriages."

"These are carriages manufactured by our factory in Yanjing. If your Majesty wants them, just place an order directly with the factory in the name of the imperial court."

"The factory will manufacture carriages in accordance with the official's grade and the court's rules. There will be no violations."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned even darker. Liu Ji, a bastard, couldn't play with him and pretended to understand, right?

This guy is really not afraid of death.

Turning his head, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the gate of this mansion.

His brows immediately knitted together.

When Liu Ji tried to involve Liu Song before, Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat unconvinced.

After all, the character Liu Song has accumulated over the years cannot be shaken easily with just a few words.

But Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Liu Ji was not a fool.

If Liu Song was not involved, he would not be able and would never dare to involve Liu Song.

Although he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that [-]% of what Liu Ji said was true.

Until I saw the huge courtyard wall of this mansion.

The courtyard wall alone is much taller than Liu Ji's courtyard wall.

The vermilion door at the door also looks domineering.

The two characters "Liu Mansion" shining brightly on the door, you can tell at a glance that it was written by a famous artist.

At least Liu Song definitely couldn't write such words.

Although the words are true to the person's words, they are definitely not very accurate.

But in general, it still has certain reference value.

If a person like Liu Song were asked to write Zhang Xu and Wang Xizhi's wanton and unrestrained characters, it would be a difficult task for others.

Since it was not written by Liu Song, and the calligraphy level is so high, polishing is definitely indispensable.

Let’s write down an account for the corrupt officials on their side.

There is no law, what do they think of the court?Can they spend their own money however they want?

Feeling the increasingly cold air around him, Liu Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how angry Lao Zhu is now, Liu Ji believes that as long as he sees the situation in Liu Song's house, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger will definitely be relieved a lot.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and call the door. Do you want us to go there in person?"

Liu Ji didn't care about anything else and hurried forward to call the door.

Not long after knocking on the door, a concierge about the same age as Liu Song's mansion opened the door and stuck his head out.

Realizing that Liu Ji was knocking on the door, he immediately asked in confusion: "Master Liu, why are you here?"

The concierge really didn't understand why Liu Ji knocked on the door himself, with a look of confusion on his face.

Liu Ji did not explain, but lowered his voice and said: "I'm here to pay homage to Master Liu Song."

Although the concierge felt that Liu Ji's visit this time was a little strange.

But the affairs between the big shots have nothing to do with this little concierge like him.

"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment. I will inform my family now."

"How about you come over and sit with me first?"

Liu Ji glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly, shook his head slowly and said, "No need."

Just kidding, His Majesty is still here, so it's naturally impossible for him to go in first.

After refusing, Liu Ji lowered his voice and warned sternly: "Remember, no one can tell anything about what we came here today."

The concierge nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Liu, please don't worry, I have always been strict with my mouth."

After a while, the person who went in to report arrived.

"Master Liu, please come to our family."

Liu Ji took Zhu Yuanzhang and entered Liu Song's mansion with the housekeeper.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned as soon as he entered the Liu Mansion.

It is different from Liu Ji's mansion, which is decorated with carved beams and painted beams, and even has several places being renovated.

Liu Song's mansion was so quiet that it was almost scary.

With such a layout, Zhu Yuanzhang could clearly see that there were many places in the house that looked dilapidated.
Although it is often cleaned, the yard is always clean.

But all that is left is clean, and the original pavilions and pavilions are visibly dilapidated.

The water in the pool has completely dried up and is covered with green moss.

Many vegetations grow too densely because no one takes care of them, and there is no sense of beauty at all.

Passing through the huge courtyard, we arrived at the deepest part of the house.

There are also four or five houses here.

But in almost all houses, the window paper has rotted and disappeared.

In addition, there were not even lanterns in the yard.

This scene looks particularly breathtaking.

But Lao Zhu was made from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

He didn't care about such a small scene at all.
