"Your Majesty, gossip was said by a petty official, but the petty official was waiting on the scholars, and later was scolded by Lord Yang Rong."

Zhu gaochi was not relieved by Ye Luoxue's report. He said: "Yang Rong is smart. The less trouble, the better, but..."

"If there is no emperor, who can lead?"

Ye Luoxue didn't dare to answer this, and Zhu gaochi wasn't ready to let him answer it.

"If there is no emperor, most of them want to form a party for personal gain, and then the internal fighting will not stop. At that time, the war smoke everywhere in Daming will not be mentioned, and the foreign enemies will take the opportunity to attack and ruin their lives..."

Zhu gaochi sneered: "they are all people who only care about their own interests. As for Daming, it's just a doll..."

After being emperor for more than a year, Zhu gaochi had already seen through the dirty behind those dignified, so his attitude changed greatly.

"Several bachelors are good. At least they know they have a firm foothold."

"The six Shangshu are also conscientious. These are the people selected by the former Emperor. I'm really far inferior!"

Zhu Di was not promoted according to the grade at all, but directly simplified.

The so-called jianba is that I like you. No matter how many grade officials you are, I'll bring you to me.

The emperor's close officials naturally promoted quickly. Most of the simplified officials became the backbone of Daming at this time. Facts have proved that Zhu Di's vision is good.

But Zhu gaochi knew that this was obedience, loyalty and ability on the basis of a strong king. If there was a weak and incompetent king, these ministers would not be half polite and guaranteed to make the king a puppet.

This is balance!

Every emperor should find his own way of balance!

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, they all found their own way, and Zhu gaochi

What is my way?

Weakness, compromise?

Zhu gaochi shook his head contemptuously.

No emperor is willing to be mediocre, and Zhu gaochi is also not willing to be mediocre. There are countless beauties in his chest, but his hands and feet are bound and unable to move.

"Zhan Ji... How are you doing?"

Ye Luoxue said, "Your Majesty, your highness is sitting in Jinling. As you said, southern officials and scholars have temporarily stopped. If the will of recall comes, they will be happy."

Zhu gaochi glanced at the murderous opportunity on his face, shook his head slightly and said, "you don't understand. This is the general trend. At this time, Daming seems peaceful, and I can respond to it all, but there are many taboos after all, and these are all caused by the trend."

Zhu gaochi thought of himself hard, and ye Luoxue hurried to hold him. His martial arts are superb. He can help Zhu gaochi down with one hand.

Out of the warm Pavilion, Zhu gaochi took a breath of spring air, and his comfortable eyes narrowed. When the cold wind blew, Zhu gaochi couldn't help shivering.

"Literati want to seize the power, and I want to protect the power. This is a struggle for power. There has been no exception since ancient times!"

Zhu gaochi patted the corridor column and sighed: "People want to compete for more rights. If kings are cowardly and generals are not the country, as in the late Han Dynasty, princes attack each other and shamelessly hang the name of righteousness. How can princes and officials be at peace? It's just ambitious. It can be seen that princes and generals prefer to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Once there are signs of chaos, rashness can also lead to dragons and snakes..."

Ye Luoxue listened quietly. He was not a civil and military official or a eunuch, so there was no need to express fear.

Zhu gaochi's face was a little flushed. He smiled and said, "there is no Tao in Mengyuan, dragons and snakes everywhere, and Emperor Taizu Gao came out first. He knew that most of the country died in the suffering of the people, so he spared no effort to combat corruption, never be soft on ambitious people, and he was safe."

Ye Luoxue said heartily, "yes, Emperor Taizu Gao relieved the people."

Zhu gaochi also said to Youyan, "only when the former Emperor still innovated and expelled foreign enemies can we have today's calm. Calm... Hey! Calm!"

"Rivers and mountains last for thousands of years. Everyone says rivers and mountains. Whose rivers and mountains?"

There was some coldness in these words. Ye Luoxue whispered, "Your Majesty, be careful."

Zhu gaochi glanced at the side and said with a smile, "that's song Chengcheng. He is probably the only one in the palace who has a pure heart for me. It's rare."

"Your Majesty, do you want to come down?"

When song Chengzhen saw Zhu gaochi, he ran over happily. There was no ye Luoxue in his eyes.

Zhu gaochi smiled and said, "OK."

Therefore, ye Luoxue, a master in the palace, could only watch song Chengzhen, hold Zhu gaochi's arm with both hands, and slowly help him down the steps.

Ye Luoxue watched them gradually go back to the palace. She couldn't help feeling dejected.

The emperor is imposing a heavy burden!

Ye Luoxue is an orphan and a strange man gathered by Zhu gaochi. She always scoffs at the so-called civil servants and thinks they are just employees of the emperor.

But the hired workers are ambitious and want to pick out their employers from time to time, but they often do not manage well.

……

"The emperor began to read the memorials."

A eunuch sat opposite Yuan Xi and said proudly, "but... It's more and more difficult to walk."

Yuan Xi's Cuffs shook and a roll of treasure notes rolled down on the table.

The eunuch's eyes flashed greedy. Then he took the treasure note with reserve and coughed, "although it's secret, we still found it. Your majesty has sent someone to summon the prince to return to the north."

Then he got up and said coldly in his eyebrows, "our family has never been here today. Let's go."

"Father in law, go slowly."

Yuan Xi's face was kind. He watched the eunuch go out the back door and immediately turned blue.

"Bang!"

There was a sudden explosion in the back of the study. The small door was rudely kicked open. Leidu strode out with a red face and said, "we're going to do it! Otherwise we'll die without a burial place! Your highness must be imprisoned in Fengyang all his life!"

Yuan Xi sat there blankly. His kindness had long disappeared. He murmured, "the arrow is on the string, the arrow is on the string!"

Redu said bitterly, "what are you thinking now? If you don't do it again, how can we have a chance when the prince returns?"

Yuan Xi looked up with firm eyes: "then prepare. I believe your highness is destined to find an opportunity for us. How are you preparing there? How many people can you mobilize?"

Leidu hesitated for a moment. Yuan Xi said coldly in his eyes: "to tell the truth, you must not be false, otherwise it will ruin yourself!"

Leidu hung his head and said, "there are less than a thousand people. However, there is a hundred family officials in contact. If they can agree, there are more than a thousand people."

There was no disappointment in Yuan Xi's face. He said: "this matter is not outside, but outside. Just guard and disturb it. When the overall situation is certain, a million troops will not help."

Leidu said excitedly, "yes! As long as the palace is certain, the South will start again at the same time, and the overall situation will be determined!"

Yuan Xi said, "Your Majesty recalled the crown prince. This is self-conscious. Here comes the opportunity."

Redu frowned and said, "but he began to read the memorials again."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "you don't understand. Your majesty is stubborn now. In addition, he is not good with civil servants. As long as he can play, he won't let his rights fall aside, so... This is the bystander. Go, I have to see that Lili."

……

Wei Lili is a little depressed recently. She is addicted to wine and sex in the casino and can't extricate herself. Everything outside is left to her hands.

"... the people from the military and Horse Department of the five cities came again to warn that the people who have lost their wealth and hanged are not allowed to appear again, otherwise they will seal us here... Brother, will that person be a liar?"

This is a strong man with a rebellious and tough face. If these people walk in the street, normal people will keep a distance from him because they feel too dangerous.

This is an aggressive man!

Wei Lili left the wine pots behind her - dozens of wine pots had been piled up there, and the smell of wine was mixed, making people feel like they had entered the wine cellar.

"Belly, that man can't be underestimated. I know."

Wei Lili picked up a belly pocket at her feet, threw it behind her, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "do you want to be rich?"

"Think!"

The belly said carelessly, "brother, we are not hungry now, but we have to bow to those soldiers and officials when we go out. Who wants to? But we are green skin. In other people's eyes, we are mud. Who will help us when we should be exiled to Jiaozhi Myanmar?"

Wei Lili raised her eyebrows and said, "he can."

"Big brother..."

The belly was surprised and said, "this is not fire and debt collection. Who can?"

"He can."

Wei Lili exhaled, "he is the confidant of a noble man. The noble man wants to do something and asks us for help. Afterwards, seven grade officials or thousands of households are real prices. There is no nonsense."

The thick eyebrow on his belly wrinkled into a lying silkworm. He said in a deep voice, "brother, is it the kind that lost his head?"

"Are you afraid?"

Wei Lili raised her eyebrows and asked, at the same time, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Not afraid." the belly said carelessly, "if you lose your head, you'll lose it, but if you don't, it's great wealth!"

Wei Lili's eyes flashed, sat up straight and said, "he's almost here."
