NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33
33: Zhu Gaolin shows his hand! He is preparing to replace Zhu Youjian with Zhu Zhan’an
“First of all, my goal this time is to make money first, and to rectify the administration of officials first.”
“As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish…….If the measures are too harsh, it may cause disunity.”
“What I said before just gave the emperor and his subjects some room for buffering. These three days not only allowed the subjects to relax, but also gave us more incidents to confirm the evidence.”
“After all, it is the imperial court. Everything it does must have a basis, otherwise its authority will be lost.”
“The words I said were also meant to break down the psychological defenses of those civil officials. After all, these bastards have never been able to truly stand together.”
“Finally, we left space for escape and gave us room to operate. As the military strategy says, surround three sides and leave one side missing. We are not afraid that these people will not move, but we are afraid that they are as timid as mice and dare not move at all…….”
Zhu Gaoxun made his thoughts clear, and Zhu Youjian was thinking.
Zhu Di was quite unhappy,”Isn’t this too easy for these bastards? Are you really going to let bygones be bygones as you said before?” Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Gaoxun, waiting for his next words.
“Of course!” Zhu Gaoxun said with a smile:”I am the emperor, and my words are not binding, but I never said that Grandpa Huang, Father, and Zhu Youjian would let them go!”
Hearing this, the three people on the scene smiled knowingly.
The Chinese language is profound and profound, and its mystery lies in the art of language.
“Thank you for your teachings and example, I, your grandson, have benefited a lot from it!” Zhu Youjian stood up and bowed to Zhu Gaoxun,”Your grandson may be dull, but he also understands some simple truths.”
Seeing Zhu Youjian thanking him, Zhu Gaoxun just nodded and said nothing more.
“Gao Xun!” Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said,”It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have a talented person like you.”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang praising Zhu Gao Xun again, Zhu Di felt very jealous. The old man has never praised me like this before!
“Just some tricks……”Zhu Di acted like a father and said,”Don’t be proud, keep working hard…….”
Bang!
Before Zhu Di could finish his words, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped him on the back.”You don’t listen to what I say, right? You’re here to contradict me? How about Gao Xun? It’s your turn to judge!”
Zhu Di rubbed his shoulders, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then at Zhu Gao Xun, feeling very aggrieved.
So sons are not as good as grandsons?
The old man is too partial as a father….
Zhu Gaoxun couldn’t help laughing when he saw Zhu Di’s expression, but he was still a son after all, and couldn’t bear to see the old man being wronged, so he immediately changed the subject and said,”Zhu Youjian, when this matter is over, I will send someone to assist you in governing the country.””
“They do not belong to this era. After being educated by the Tiancheng Dynasty, they will be more dedicated to the Ming Dynasty and will not go along with the corrupt officials here. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian was stunned at first, and then a huge joy came over him.
He was worried that the world’s officials were not available, and Tiancheng Zu had already anticipated it in advance and relieved his worries. He was really a perfect man!
Zhu Youjian suppressed his inner joy, and immediately came to Zhu Gaoxun and kowtowed, saying:”Grandchildren thank Tiancheng Zu for his mercy. Such a great kindness, grandchildren are grateful! In the future, grandchildren will follow your lead!”
On the side, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at Zhu Di, with the light in his eyes flickering.
Although they were both emperors, there was still a difference. Zhu Youjian saw Zhu Gaoxun’s earnest teachings and sincere help.
But what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di saw was replacing him and undermining his power!
Imagine if the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty were all from the Tiancheng Dynasty, what would the scene be like?
If it were a strong emperor, it would definitely not allow such a situation to happen. What exactly does Zhu Gaoxun want to do!?
Zhu Yuanzhang quietly hinted to Zhu Di , the two decided that they must have a good talk with Zhu Gaoxun when Zhu Youjian was not around.
At first glance, this idea seemed too bold.
But if you think about it carefully, Zhu Youjian is unstable, capricious, and self-willed. In this era of great contention, these things are fatal in this era!
But what if it were someone else, would the situation of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen reign suddenly become clear?
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di pondered this possibility in their hearts, and they felt that this was feasible.
Anyway, they are all members of the Zhu family, so who can’t be replaced?
But if this is the case, Zhu Youjian will be wronged…….Especially when they saw that the child had been sold and had to help count the money, the two of them agreed with Zhu Gaoxun’s possible idea.
Zhu Gaoxun naturally noticed the change in the atmosphere at the scene.
He had expected this and knew that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di would definitely realize the problem after he spoke.
But these were all part of Zhu Gaoxun’s plan…….It sounds like a fairy tale, but for the three of them, it is not a big problem.
Zhu Gaoxun looked at Zhu Youjian who was bowing respectfully in front of him, and couldn’t help sighing: It seems that Zhu Youjian must be properly placed.
Although his ability is a little worse, he is still worth using.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxun nodded and said:”Get up, we are all from the old Zhu family, so don’t do things like kneeling and bowing.”
This actually implies that Zhu Yuanzhang inherited the bad habits of kneeling and bowing from the Mongols, but changing these things is not something that can be solved with just a few words.
The most important thing at the moment is to solve the problems faced by the Chongzhen Dynasty. When Zhu Zhan’an takes over this world, Zhu Gaoxun will start to deal with the problems of the Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di dynasties.
Next, after a brief greeting, Zhu Youjian went down to arrange the dinner in person.
Although poor, the arrival of the ancestors cannot be slack, and I must do it myself to show my sincerity!
After Zhu Youjian left, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di looked at each other and then said,”Gao Yu, you asked the ministers of the Tiancheng Dynasty to come to the Chongzhen Dynasty. I’m afraid it’s not just to help Zhu Youjian, right?”
“Grandpa Emperor and father really have a keen eye!” Zhu Gaoxun clasped his fists and said with a smile:
“My original intention was to let my son Zhu Zhan’an take over Zhu Youjian’s position! This world is in a time of great contention, with storms and turmoil! Without a strong emperor, I’m afraid the Chongzhen Dynasty would be nothing but mud and nothing can be done.”
Zhu Zhan’an.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were familiar with this name. The ‘Wind Sound’ weapon was created by this person.
“Is the baby available?”
“Available!” Zhu Gaoxun continued with a smile and said,”I will not do anything about this in the short term. When the emperor grandfather and father come to Tiancheng Dynasty in person, we will know their specific abilities at a glance!”
Seeing Zhu Gaoxun say this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were relieved. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,”Since Gaoxun has a plan, we will support you unconditionally! You are the only one in our Zhu family. If I don’t believe you, who else can I believe! ?”
After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang’s eye hint, Zhu Di also expressed his opinion,”I am the same. Gaoxun, you can do it with confidence!”
“Then I would like to thank Grandpa Huang and my father. It is my blessing to have your support…….”
That being said, Zhu Gaoxun knew very well that these two were very opinionated people. It was necessary to investigate Zhu Zhan’an in the future.
Of course, this was as it should be. If Zhu Zhan’an was not useful, he would not have to come to the Chongzhen Dynasty.
In this way, this matter was over.
Zhu Di pondered and said,”How did you arrange Li Zicheng in Taiyuan Prefecture, Gaoxun?”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxun’s face suddenly became unfathomable,”Grandpa Emperor, father, don’t worry, I have already made arrangements.”
Then, Zhu Gaoxun looked to the southwest and said,”In a few days, Li Zicheng will be unable to sit still.”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were very curious when they heard the words. Did Zhu Gaoxun also have arrangements for this matter?
This kid only came a little earlier than me, but he thought of so many things! ?
