Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 447 Your reasons are not enough
"Zhu Liangzu, please think about it carefully. The conditions I am offering now can be said to be very generous."

Su Jing said lightly.

If others were here, they would probably sneer at Su Jing's words.

Su Jing is indeed at the height of her popularity and is unparalleled at the moment.

But in the final analysis, he is just a businessman with the title of earl. Being a businessman means that he has no power.

And who is Zhu Liangzu?He is the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty, the dignified Marquis Yongjia.

Perhaps Su Jing was more favored in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but it would be a joke to say that Su Jing could kill Zhu Liangzu without relying on Zhu Yuanzhang.

Spare your life?
This is simply a fantasy and nonsense.

but!
Now Zhu Liangzu did not dare to think so directly. The sense of oppression brought to him by Su Jing was no less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

All his actions were invisible in Su Jing's eyes.

The assassination attempt in Lishui County also failed.

If Su Jing was really just a businessman, how could he do such a thing?
"Su Jing, are you forcing me?"

Zhu Liangzu stared at Su Jing, as if he was about to explode with his words, but Su Jing could tell that Zhu Liangzu was still giving in.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Zhu Liangzu, I know in my heart whether I forced you or not. Today I don't ask you to give me an answer immediately. You can go back and think about it carefully and investigate it carefully."

"What role did you play in the whole thing, and what did you do? Think about it for yourself, and then give me the answer."

Blindly forcing Zhu Liangzu was really too difficult for him with his brain.

Su Jing knows that everything must be done in a certain degree.

Now that the conversation has reached this point, the rest depends on Zhu Liangzu himself.

Anyway, the initiative is always in your own hands, so there is no rush.

Zhu Liangzu was silent.

It had to be said that Su Jing's words made him somewhat moved, but he didn't completely believe it.

The only thing he is worried about now is that Su Jing is just a delaying tactic.

If he left like this today, then he would really have no choice but to be at the mercy of Su Jing.

But if Su Jing is not listened to, there seems to be no room for change.

In the end how to do?
For a time, Zhu Liangzu was in a dilemma.

Su Jing was not in a hurry, he knew what Zhu Liangzu was struggling with.

In the final analysis, it was because he had no means to restrain himself, except for the so-called threat to his life.

Time passed bit by bit, and the moon was moving slowly.

After a long time, Zhu Liangzu looked at Su Jing: "Okay, then I will do as you say."

He didn't ask for anything more, because Zhu Liangzu had already figured it out and he couldn't refuse.

If he really doesn't care, even if he really kills Su Jing, he will definitely not end well.

As for whether Su Jing will confess everything in front of Zhu Yuanzhang tomorrow, Zhu Liangzu can only take a gamble.

"Very good, this is how heroic Yongjia Marquis is."

Su Jing nodded.

Zhu Liangzu snorted coldly: "Su Jing, don't think that I am afraid of you. If you dare to lie to me, I will support you even if you die!"

"Oh, Zhu Liangzu, you'd better leave on your own, I'm going to rest, that's it."

Facing Zhu Liangzu's threat, Su Jing just chuckled and didn't care.

Now Zhu Liangzu has lost even the slightest bit of blood courage that led him to die together.

Soon, Zhu Liangzu left Su Jing's room.

Of course, he did not leave immediately. At this time, the Su Mansion was heavily guarded. He could only wait until Su Jing left tomorrow morning before he could leave among the servants.

Hiding for a night was Zhu Liangzu's basic operation.

Su Jing lay on the bed and briefly reviewed what happened today. She was already convinced that Zhu Liangzu was only a small problem, and the big problem was the guy who used Zhu Liangzu as a gun.

This Ming Dynasty is really not that easy.

……

The next morning.

Su Jing and the others were brought into the palace.

"Master Su, this palace is so majestic!"

Liu Banxian looked around, looking exactly like a countryman entering the city.

"Master Su, how big do you think this palace is?"

"Mr. Su, it seems that the bricks and stones under our feet are all in one piece."

"Master Su..."

……

Listening to Liu Banxian's chatter, Su Jing's head hurt a little.

I really shouldn't have brought Liu Banxian with me.

Originally, Su Jing went to the palace to meet the saint alone, finished her story, and then helped Liu Banxian with the fortune-telling matters that year.

But Liu Banxian was so scared that he kept begging Su Jing to take him with him and not let him enter the palace with those witnesses.

Su Jing really had no choice but to agree.

As for the rules in the palace, Su Jing's reputation is quite high anyway.

"Okay, Liu Banxian, please be quiet. This is the palace, not your home."

Su Jing had no choice but to say to Liu Banxian under the signal of her father-in-law who was leading the way.

Liu Banxian nodded immediately and said: "Yes... Mr. Su, I am too excited."

Su Jing said: "I said you were scared to death when you came here, why are you not so scared now?"

Liu Banxian's performance was still a bit strange.

After all, before he even entered Beijing, he was already frightened by the approach. If Su Jing hadn't promised to protect him, he would have escaped eight hundred times.

When they finally arrived in the capital and the palace, Liu Banxian was extremely excited and couldn't seem to be afraid at all, which was really strange.

Liu Banxian replied with a smile: "Mr. Su, you don't understand this. I, Liu Banxian, have been telling fortunes all my life. This is the first time I have entered the palace and seen such a majestic Forbidden City. This life is worth it. Anyway, I am also half a bird. Those who have their feet in the ground, even if they die, it will not be a loss."

What I say about the majesty of the Forbidden City is absolutely true.

Su Jing only went to Beijing to see the Forbidden City in her previous life, and the Forbidden City in Beijing was actually built after the Jinling City.

The original version is always more shocking than the replica version.

Not to mention that the Forbidden City now really houses a great emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang.

For many people in the Ming Dynasty, it is no regret to be able to come in and see it once.

"That won't work. If you die, I won't break my promise."

Su Jing smiled and joked: "At least I have to see the emperor before I die, but I can't die in this palace, otherwise it will be unlucky."

Liu Banxian felt much more relaxed after listening to Su Jing's words: "Master Su is right, I will try my best to do it."

The two of them soon arrived at the entrance of Fengxian Hall.

Because they were meeting Su Jing, the case was to be interrogated, and everything needed to be kept secret, so naturally they would not be in Fengtian Hall.

"Uncle Ren Yuan, we're here." The eunuch who led the way slowly stepped aside and said respectfully to Su Jing.

Su Jing nodded: "Thank you very much, father-in-law."

Then he said to Liu Banxian: "Wait outside for a while, and then come in when I tell you to come in."

When Lao Zhu met Su Jing, he naturally said something private. It would definitely be inappropriate for Liu Banxian to go in directly.

"I understand, Mr. Su, don't worry, I won't run around."

Liu Banxian immediately agreed.

Su Jing then walked in and came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the main hall, Lao Zhu was burying his head in his desk. He wanted to see all the memorials one by one in person.

"Grassman Su Jing, please see Your Majesty."

Su Jing saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully. Although it was not the first time to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, it seemed to be the first time in Su Jing's memory to meet him in this palace.

When we were in Lishui County, that was the earliest and most frequent time we met.

Later, when I arrived in the capital, I also lived in Su Mansion, formerly known as Niu Mansion. After that, although I helped with many things, such as improving firearms, I basically went through each yamen one by one.

Then it seemed that he met Zhu Yuanzhang in prison.

Su Jing thought about it carefully. This should be the first time she met Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace.

"Get up, Su Jing."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not raise his head and seemed not to pay much attention to it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Jing stood up and thanked her without saying anything more.

The two of them fell into silence. In the huge Fengxian Hall, it was as if nothing had happened.

There was only the sound of Zhu Yuanzhang turning over the scrolls of memorials.

Su Jing lowered her head slightly and looked straight ahead. The figure of Zhu Yuanzhang reviewing the memorial was in her eyes.

What a diligent person!

Su Jing sighed inwardly, as the founding emperor of the country, Lao Zhu could work diligently in government affairs for decades, but his body was really not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Health is really not an easy thing for the emperor.

Although the emperor has the best medical resources in the entire empire and is always on call, there are not many emperors who live long.

For example, among all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu lived to be 71 years old. He was the founding emperor and the longest-living emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen, only lived to be 26 years old. Of course, this was the age when he was beaten by Zhu Dijing until he disappeared from the palace. As for how long he lived, it is hard to say.

Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, only two emperors of the Ming Dynasty lived to be over 60 years old.

Zhu Di is 65, Zhu Houxun is 60.

To say that the longevity gene of Lao Zhu's family has not been inherited at all.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the emperor behind Lao Zhu's family really likes to mess around and his private life is too messy.

However, it is amazing that Lao Zhu can live to the age of 71 under such intensity of work.

Not far from Su Jing's left side, a huge golden shelf is very conspicuous.

The shelf was very high, Su Jing roughly estimated it to be at least two or three meters high, and the whole thing was golden.

There is a curved beam on the upper part. In the middle of the beam is a cloud bead. On both sides of the cloud bead are spheres symbolizing the sun and the moon. The sun is on the left and the moon is on the right. There is another bead hanging under the cloud bead.

At both ends of the curved beam, you can still see golden dragon heads, and the dragon's mouth is constantly opening and closing.

There are many complex sculptures standing below, which are very exquisite.

If this were elsewhere, Su Jing would probably think it was coated with gold powder, but here, Su Jing felt it should be real.

Because he recognized this thing, it was a lamp leak.

The so-called lamp leakage is actually an ancient clock, and its accuracy is quite high.

In her previous life, Su Jing also loved famous watches for a while, and at the same time she got to know some of our ancestors' watches.

In the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty, lamp drains were used, and the largest lamp drain was the Daming Palace lamp drain, which was more than five meters high.

Lao Zhu's lamp leak in Fengxian Hall looks quite big, but in fact it is just a small one.

This thing is not simple, it is exquisitely made and the timing is very accurate. It is an indispensable item for a workaholic like Zhu Yuanzhang who has extremely precise time planning.

"Ah~"

Lao Zhu stretched himself and finally finished handling the memorial in front of him.

He looked up at Su Jing and said with a majestic expression: "Su Jing, you should know why we summoned you. Please tell me what is going on."

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a nagging person, and Su Jing is also a smart person, so he didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.

In addition to handling official business, Su Jing waited for a while.

Su Jing replied: "Your Majesty, the common people have investigated this matter clearly, and the real culprit behind the scenes has also been identified."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Jing and said: "Who is so brave? Dare to assassinate you? Tell us and let us know."

Su Jing's status in Lao Zhu's heart is really not low.

Lao Zhu was very angry about this matter, and it was only when he faced Su Jing that he suppressed his anger.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people can't say that."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Can't you say it? But the identity of the murderer behind him is so great that you don't dare to say it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious subconsciously, but then he denied it: "No, you, Su Jing, are not such a person. You are not even afraid of us. There is no one in the Ming Dynasty you are afraid of. So, why can't you say it?"

There will always be only one greatest person in the Ming Dynasty, and that is Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

It took more than a day or two for Lao Zhu to deal with Su Jing. The person who could scare Su Jing in the Ming Dynasty was not even born yet!
Su Jing replied: "Because the common people have already promised to Lao Zhou, we can't say anything."

"Old Zhou? Is he the murderer who was captured in Lishui County and is still unconscious?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Su Jing nodded and said: "That's it. Please understand the grassroots. I also hope that your majesty will not interfere too much in this matter. The grassroots want to solve their own affairs."

Solve it yourself?

Su Jing's words surprised Lao Zhu.

"Su Jing, what do you mean? Don't you believe us? Or do you think we won't deal with the murderer behind the scenes seriously?"

Lao Zhu said a little angry.

Su Jing shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. It is just a matter for the common people. If this bothers Your Majesty, it is really killing a chicken with a knife. I can solve it myself. I hope Your Majesty can agree to this unkind request."

Su Jing lowered her head, unsure in her heart whether Lao Zhu would agree.

But you have to try, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said: "Su Jing, it's not impossible for you to want us to agree, but your reasons are not enough."

Who is Lao Zhu?That was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the man who single-handedly established the Ming Dynasty.

Su Jing is here. He is a powerful and important figure in the Ming Dynasty. If something happens, can he just ignore it?
Definitely not!Even Su Jing’s own request won’t work!
Su Jing was well prepared and replied: "Your Majesty, because the common people want to catch a bigger disaster for Your Majesty, they can't move now."
