Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

On the embankment.

Zhou Lang walked back with Zhu Di and said as he walked: Mr. Zhu, I'm really sorry. I don't know which muscle County Magistrate Jiang has cramped. He suddenly wants to see Mr. Zhu.

It's okay. Zhu Di smiled and shook his head and asked, What is County Magistrate Jiang's full name?

He still doesn't know the name of this County Magistrate Jiang.

Jiang Jinzhong.

It's a good name. Zhu Di couldn't help but twitching the corners of his lips when he thought that Magistrate Jiang, who was as fat as a meatball and had a rosy nose, deserved such a name.

Of course, he just felt that Jiang Jinzhong's image was slightly funny.

Don't judge people by their appearance.

So he asked again: Tell me about Magistrate Jiang's character?

This stumped Zhou Lang, and he said with a wry smile: Mr. Zhu, I used to be an ordinary yamen servant, and I didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with County Magistrate Jiang.

I just know that this county official is a fan of officials.

After coming to Jiangning County, I often did funny things to show off to the court and superior officials.

Two years ago, weren't there a lot of auspicious events in various places?

Zhu Di nodded.

There is such a special period in my memory.

In fact, the so-called auspiciousness, to put it bluntly, means flattering the old man.

Our Magistrate Jiang has just taken up his post in Jiangning County, and he also wants to create an auspicious occasion. What is he doing?

Our county magistrate has been thinking about it for a long time, but he doesn't know where to get one. It's a very big turtle, probably as big as two millstones.

Zhou Lang suppressed his laughter and used his hands to make the famous turtle size gesture.

Then they sent someone to tie a rope and threw it into the Qinhuai River at night.

In order to make the auspicious appearance more sensational, County Magistrate Jiang held a poetry and calligraphy gathering in the Qinhuai River and invited many scholars, including children, scholars, and scholars.

Mr. Zhu, guess what happened?

Zhu Di shook his head.

Zhou Lang's face turned red, and he tried hard not to laugh and said: When the atmosphere of the poetry meeting was getting lively, Magistrate Jiang ordered people to be on the shore, quietly pulling the rope, and pulling the turtle out of the water...

puff!

Zhou Lang couldn't help laughing and said out of breath: But...but after the turtle was pulled out...it was found to be dead! It was eaten by the fish in the river and was beyond recognition!

At that time, Magistrate Jiang's face was so dark...haha...

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh and doubted that this was a turtle!

It is difficult for freshwater turtles to grow so big.

Moreover, if it is a freshwater turtle, with such a huge size, there are no natural enemies in the Qinhuai River.

Impossible to be eaten by fish.

The funniest thing is that the Shangguan of Jinling Mansion heard about this matter.

It is said that the Shangguan of Jinling Prefecture sent people down to reprimand County Magistrate Jiang and gave the emperor a tortoise as an auspicious sign. What do you want!

Okay, stop talking, stop talking. Zhu Di's lips twitched fiercely, interrupting Zhou Lang's words.

Fortunately, this matter was suppressed by Jinling Mansion.

It really reached the ears of the old man.

This fat county magistrate moved his head two years ago.

At the same time, a large number of people in the Jinling officialdom had to be implicated.

Such absurd and bizarre farces have been all too common in official circles throughout the ages.

Bystanders, looking at the people involved in the farce, seem to be looking at fools.

It’s even puzzling that such people who can be officials are supposedly elites, how could they do such ridiculous and stupid things?

it's actually really easy.

These people are eager for political achievements, eager to achieve political achievements, eager to express themselves and please their superiors.

At the same time, he is divorced from reality and has little or no understanding of what he is doing.

In this situation, it would be strange not to make a joke!

This magistrate Jiang is the best example.

Two years ago, Jiang Jinzhong, who had just taken up his post in Jiangning County, must have only read such magnificent articles as Gui Suishou from books.

It is believed that the turtle symbolizes longevity and represents a long and long time.

You must not know that among the people, turtles are also called bastards!

Anyone knows this ambiguity.

Jiang Jinzhong would definitely not engage in such absurd farce as offering turtles to an old man with mud-legged background!

This fat county magistrate must be from a good background, well-dressed and well-fed, and has basically no contact with the people.

Before he became an official, he was a bookworm who only read the books of saints and sages, and was indifferent to grains and grains.

…

Wait until they get close to the shed.

I saw that the mats around the Tuqiao Village shack had been rolled up.

A fat man, his clothes soaked through, sat like a mountain of meat on the bamboo board of Datongpu.

Several government officials kept fanning the fat man beside him.

Sir, Mr. Zhu is here. Zhou Lang stood at the door and reported.

Magistrate Jiang wiped his sweat and waved, Let Zhu Silang come in.

Zhu Di walked in.

You all get down.

After sending everyone away, Jiang Jinzhong stood up suddenly.

Amidst the creaking of the bamboo boards, I knelt down on the Datong bunk, bowed my head and said, Greetings to His Highness King Yan!

The strange color in his eyes flashed away, Zhu Di regained his composure and immediately dodged aside.

Looking half-smiling but not smiling...

Jiang Jinzhong was suspicious.

But not sure.

Therefore, it is also very important to kneel down but not get down to the ground, just on the big bed.

This is testing.

For a while, Jiang Jinzhong didn't wait for a response. He quietly raised his head and saw Zhu Di standing aside from a distance, looking at him with a half-smile.

Does Magistrate Jiang regard me as the demoted King of Yan Zhu Di? Zhu Di Tairuo naturally smiled and said: Although King Yan is now a commoner, after all, the blood of the royal family is flowing, and it is not something ordinary people can reach.

County magistrates should not harm others or themselves.

Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di carefully.

There is a smile on the lips, and the eyes reveal the wisdom of a scholar, and he is calm and composed.

It really looks like the wise man who hides in the countryside as Zhou Lang said.

There is no royal nobility at all.

If Zhu Di knew what Jiang Jinzhong was thinking, he would definitely laugh and curse: You are so extravagant! No matter how noble a person is, if he has been a farmer for half a year, working on the river embankment in the wind and sun for more than ten days, his noble spirit has long been worn away.

The so-called nobility dissipates easily.

new

Only knowledge, engraved in the mind, gives people a cultural heritage that is difficult to erase.

After half a year of living as a farmer, this is the only trace left on Zhu Di's body.

Therefore, it feels more like a counselor and wise man hiding in the countryside.

'guessed wrong! ’

Magistrate Jiang's face was filled with regret, and he glared at Zhu Di angrily. He struggled to sit up, wiped his sweat desperately, and shouted: Come here! Fan!

Outside, the government servants standing far away with their backs to the shack heard the shouts and ran in one after another.

Those who fan the wind, those who pour the tea, pour the tea.

Jiang Jinzhong pointed at Zhu Di and played with the taste: I heard that you are very good at grilling fish. Let me grill one for you to try.

Since he is not the King of Yan, Zhu Di, there is no way to make friends in advance.

Then give this person a try.

Zhou Lang's expression changed. I wonder how Jiang Jinzhong knew about this?

Zhu Di smiled and nodded, Magistrate Jiang, wait a moment.

After saying that, I walked out of the shed, picked up the fishing basket, and chose a big fish.

It's a busy time, about three sticks of incense.

A piece of delicious grilled fish served in a green lotus leaf was placed in front of Magistrate Jiang.

Zhu Di smiled and made a gesture of invitation: Magistrate Jiang, please have a taste.

Jiang Jinzhong glanced at Zhu Di, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted them, Well, not bad! No wonder they can be sold for one tael of silver each!

Come here, put my chess on the table.

Soon, chess was placed next to it.

While eating fish, Magistrate Jiang pointed at chess, Mr. Zhu is a scholar, he should be able to play, right?

A little bit of dabbling.

Come on, come on, play a game with me!

Zhu Di smiled and sat down opposite.

Magistrate Jiang ate the fish belly and said vaguely: You go first.

You're welcome, ordinary people. Zhu Di smiled and raised his hand to push the pawn: Gong pawn!

Zhu Silang, you're not good at chess. Why do you attack the pawn with your hands? I'm the one who takes the lead!

The common people continue to fight!

…

Take the car!

Zhu Di's attack was very fast. Magistrate Jiang gradually became silent and his face became solemn.

…

General!

…

County Magistrate Jiang, your car and grassroots people are happy to accept it.

…

General!

Zhou Lang looked at Zhu Di, chatting and laughing, killing Jiang County magistrate and retreating steadily, and couldn't help but wink at Zhu Di anxiously.

Jiang Jinzhong didn't even bother to eat the fish.

The Zaoban yamen fan was fanning himself hard, but the sweat on his face became even more.

After Jiang Jinzhong pondered for a while, after moving the remaining rook, Zhu Di glanced at the chess game, smiled and jumped on his horse, eating Jiang Jinzhong's last pawn.

Ha ha……

Jiang Jinzhong suddenly laughed, Hit your elephant!

At the same time General!

My chariot is at the side and the artillery is at the front. Zhu Silang, your troops have crossed the river and it's too late to come back for reinforcements!

No matter how hard you struggle, within two steps, your general will be captured by me!

Zhu Di pretended to be examining the chess game. After a moment, he stood up and bowed his head with a smile, Master Jiang is superior.

Haha, sit down, sit down... Jiang Jinzhong happily pointed to the opposite side and asked Zhu Di to sit down.

He waved his hand and said, You all go down.

Before Zhou Lang left, he glanced at Zhu Di suspiciously: Mr. Zhu really lost?

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was something fishy about it.

After everyone left, Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

Zhu Di remained calm and took out a bag from his sleeve.

The bag contained fifty taels of silver.

The other person mentioned grilled fish.

What's on his mind, I don't know.

When playing chess, first kill the opponent without leaving any armor behind, and then let the opponent win quietly.

This was also intentional on his part.

If he simply gave in to the opponent, Fatty Jiang wouldn't be particularly happy if he won.

First, he killed Fatty Jiang to death, making him extremely nervous and worried about losing, and then remained calm and exposed his flaws, allowing him to win the final victory.

With such a victory, more dopamine is secreted and people are happiest.

While Fatty Jiang was extremely happy, it was time to completely resolve the hidden dangers of doing business.

Magistrate Jiang, this is our Tuqiao Village's wish. Zhu Di pushed the bag in front of Jiang Jinzhong, The villagers also know that farmers do business in violation of regulations.

But the folks are too poor, so they do some small business while doing corvee service...

Jiang Jinzhong smiled, stretched out his chubby hand, and pushed the small bag back, I don't want to pursue this matter, and I am not short of money.

I heard that Mr. Zhu opened a free school.

I am very supportive of him. He studies to test his merit.

Just keep this money to run the school.

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhu Di's eyes.

I have a new understanding of this fat county magistrate.

I want to invite Mr. Zhu to be my staff master! Although I don't have a court official status, I can give Mr. Zhu enough money! Jiang Jinzhong finally stated the purpose of his trip.

He is so in need of someone who can give him advice.

After passing the examination, he came to Jiangning as an official for two years, but his performance evaluation was not very good every year.

Inspecting the shacks, the Tuqiao Village shacks gave him creative ideas, and he pretended to pull weeds, but he actually received praise and praise from the emperor.

Zhu Silang is simply his 'lucky general'.

This is one of them.

Second.

When the corvee is over, the experience of division of labor and cooperation will be summarized and reported. It will definitely be another achievement!

Third.

Zhu Silang's performance today, and his observations of Zhu Silang.

His abilities, character, and methods of doing things are worthy enough for him to be a staff master.
