"Get up, don't stick your head out."
Su Bai finished the last bowl of wine and stretched lazily:
"So, when you enter the royal court, remember to be more careful in everything. Don't be as foolish as you are now.”
"Otherwise, you'll suffer."
Hearing this.
Zhu Di was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said,
"Thank you for your warning, Mr. Su. I will remember this.”
"But I don't want to go to the royal court to compete with them. Just thinking about it is so annoying. The military camp is more suitable for me.”
"At least there's not so much nonsense. I just need to focus on killing people every day!”
Su Bai shook his head and smiled:
"Life is full of experiences. A pure environment is suitable for soldiers. A military camp needs to be pure, but a true expert needs to be knowledgeable.”
" If you don't see the viciousness of the human heart, don't experience the schemes and schemes of the people, and don't experience the infighting and scheming of the people, when you step onto the battlefield, perhaps a small scheme will cause you to fail miserably.”
Su Bai was in a good mood today. He drank a lot of wine, or was about to be executed, so he talked more than usual.
The two of them had been together for so long and had been addressing him as 'Sir' all the time. At the very least, he was considered half a disciple.
If he could, he would say a few more words. It didn't take much effort anyway, and there was no need to actively seek death. It wouldn't affect him.
As for how far he could go in the future, that would depend on his luck.
"Yes, Mr. Smith. I'll remember it!”
Su Bai's tone sounded like he was going to leave a funeral, which made Zhu Di worried for no reason.
After a pause, he could not help but say,
"Mr. Smith, why are you so optimistic about beheading?”
"You should at least have the thought of surviving. I beg you!”
"You come up with ideas, I come up with strength. This is a small imperial prison, can't we just leave like that?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Su Bai stared at Zhu Di who was facing a great enemy and smiled:
"I'm not optimistic. I'm objective.”
"Alright, put away your evil thoughts. Jailbreaking is equivalent to treason. I have no one to worry about, and you still have parents to support.”
"But!"
"There's no buts. If you dare to mention this matter again, you'd better take care of yourself!”
Su Bai raised his hand to interrupt and stopped smiling.
"Kindness does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth. A true great general has no feelings. Do you understand what I mean?”
"That's all I have to say. Take care."
After saying that.
Su Bai suddenly stood up and left without looking back.
"Mr. Su!"
Zhu Di immediately became anxious when he saw this. He hurriedly chased after her and bowed deeply to apologize.
"This student has spoken too much.”
"Speaking of which, you haven't taught me how to use the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves in the imperial clan.”
Su Bai didn't stop walking, and Zhu Di followed him closely.
"Today's lesson is over. I'll leave this question to you as homework.”
" For example, you are the emperor now, and you have three sons. The eldest son is benevolent, the second son is brave, and the third son is cunning. What method should you use to balance the relationship between the three of them and make your three sons work for you wholeheartedly?”
Zhu Di gasped and almost bit his tongue.
He didn't dare to make such an analogy blindly!
But before he could refuse, Su Bai continued:
"While you're at it, think about the drawbacks of the imperial examination system and why did Emperor Hong Wu suspend the imperial examination?”
"Also, we're almost done with the second volume of 'On the Fate of the Nation.' I'll listen to your summary in the next class.”
Hearing this.
Zhu Di wanted to cry, and he wanted to slap himself to death.
He had to bring up the topic, which would definitely make people unhappy.
This was great!
After listening to half of the plan, the homework had tripled and he still had to summarize it!
Isn't this asking for my life?
At this moment, Zhu Di's smile was uglier than crying. He hurriedly responded, not daring to bargain.
He only hoped that his mother would be more forceful and persuade the old man.
Otherwise, he would really risk his life to break out of prison!
On the other side.
Hearing the conversation between the two gradually fade away, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically.
There was a moment of silence.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly cursed,
"Little bastard!"
"How dare you mention the prison break!"
" Aren't we giving him face?!"
Just as she was about to get excited, it suddenly disappeared. Wasn't it disgusting?!
You're the only one with a mouth?
Are you the only one who cares about Mr. Smith?
What the hell was that?
"Imperial Father, please calm down. Fourth Brother is also worried and confused. It's understandable."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh.
"After all, Fourth Brother doesn't know that we're eavesdropping. Moreover, I think Imperial Father doesn't want Fourth Brother to know, right?”
"As the ruler of a country, it's unbecoming to watch from behind the curtain and listen from the wall. The most important thing is to affect father's dignity in the family.”
As soon as he said that.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were wide open.
Pa!
He slapped the back of Zhu Biao's head, causing the latter to stagger forward.
"Shut up!"
"The homework that Mr. Smith gave to Fourth Brother, you better go back and think about it. If you can't think of it, don't sleep!”
Zhu Biao was speechless.
...
......
Imperial Palace, Wuying Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the lecture content that the Crown Prince had organized and enjoyed it.
"With Mr. Su's brilliant plan, do we still need to worry about Huaixi people stirring up trouble?”
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"Don't use weapons, don't start a war, and balance the various factions. This is the true path of an emperor!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head and praised,
"We've really been taught a lesson!"
"Just like before, we fought and killed at will. If we don't solve any problems, we'll have to rely on Mr. Smith!”
"Sister, you don't know that those dogs are very good at pretending to be obedient and secretly going against their wishes!”
Empress Ma glared at him and interrupted him coldly,"
"It's almost done! He had been back for more than two hours, and the food had already been heated up several times. If he didn't eat while resisting hunger, would Boss be able to take it?”
"You two are really good. You left the palace after the morning court session and only returned when it was almost dark. What were you thinking?”
As she spoke, Empress Ma turned around and took out porridge and tofu, as well as a small plate of salted vegetables, which she placed on the table without any explanation.
"I can see that life has improved. I'm not even eating actively anymore.”
"You're spoiled. Hurry up and eat!"
Then, Empress Ma pointed at Zhu Biao and said,"
"Boss, sit there and eat. You don't have to wait for your father.”
Zhu Yuanzhang:
Zhu Biao was speechless.
It was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
The father and son shrunk their necks in unison and obediently shut their mouths.
He didn't dare to talk about state affairs anymore and focused on eating.
After all, Empress Ma, who had her hands on her waist, was the true " decision-maker " of the Zhu family!
No matter how arrogant Zhu Yuanzhang was outside, he had to lie down obediently at home.
After supervising for a while, Empress Ma turned around and sat down. She sighed helplessly.
He picked up the Xuan paper beside him and began to study it.
After a while, her tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed.
Empress Ma nodded thoughtfully."
"This method of teaching and educating people is really unheard of. No wonder Liu Bowen can give such a high evaluation.”
"Our fourth brother, this time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. It can be said that he was blessed to be nurtured by such a good teacher.”
Empress Ma was too lazy to read the contents that were related to national affairs. She only paid special attention to Su Bai's teaching of Zhu Di's conduct and was full of admiration.
Seeing Empress Ma smile, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped panicking and walked over with the bowl.
"How is it?"
"Isn't it good?"
"I told you long ago that Mr. Smith is really capable. I rarely praise others.”
"Besides, Mr. Su is much stronger than Liu Bowen. If we listen to Liu Bowen, we'll definitely ruin the big plan!”
Empress Ma put down the item in her hand and raised her chin.
"Alright, you're right. Anyway, I don't care about anything else. That's what you men should do.”
"Sister, please!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took two big mouthfuls of porridge and mumbled,
"With Mr. Smith leading him step by step, it'll be difficult for Fourth Brother to not become a talent. This is a heaven-sent opportunity!”
"You might not believe me, but I want to send Boss in to learn from Mr. Smith and broaden his horizons!”
Before he finished speaking.
Bang!
Empress Ma slammed the table and stood up. She glared at him and said,
"Zhu Zhongba!"
"Are you crazy?"
"Boss is the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor!”
"Why did you send Boss in?”
"Can't you invite Mr. Wang out?？”
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a headache coming on. He placed his index finger in front of his lips and hissed,
"Sister, keep your voice down! There were no impenetrable walls in the palace. Were they really not afraid of being heard?”
"Don't be noisy, don't be angry. We were just thinking about it. We didn't really want to send Boss in!”
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his bowl and chopsticks and pulled his wife to sit down.
"It's not that I don't want Mr. Smith to come out. I can't wait to invite Mr. Smith out now, but look at Mr. Smith. His brain seems to be a little abnormal!”
"Look, Fourth Brother mentioned the prison break again. When we heard it, it was as if we were going to kneel down to Mr. Smith.”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and sighed,
"But look at what they did. Not only did he reject the invitation sternly, but he also almost fell out with Fourth Brother.”
"I can tell that he's really angry. He's not pretending!”
"Mr. Smith really wants to die!"
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma shook her head slightly.
"In the end, isn't it still your fault?”
"Why didn't you investigate clearly in advance? With a wave of a pen, you implicated nine families and caused them to suffer an undeserved disaster?”
Empress Ma said seriously,"
"Chongba, let me ask you, you're living a good life, and now you're suddenly captured and beheaded, don't you feel resentful?”
"Since ancient times, scholars have been tough bones. Mr. Su is using his death to show his will. He has even written that eternal quatrain. Can't you tell?”
Faced with Empress Ma's sharp rebuke, Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless and could not even find words to refute.
Most importantly, who would have thought that such a person would appear under Tian Zi's feet!
"It's our fault!"
"This is definitely our fault!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hit his forehead in frustration and said gloomily,
"Since things have come to this, it's useless to say those things. The most important thing now is to appease Mr. Su's resentment.”
"Otherwise, even if we go and get him personally, he won't give us face. His personality is even more arrogant than Liu Bowen. You can't possibly ask us to kowtow to him, right?”
"Sister, quickly help me think of a way. You're more meticulous than me, and I'm just a rough person. Aren't you making things difficult for me by asking me to handle this matter?”
"Humph!"
Empress Ma turned her head away to avoid the other party's pleading gaze. She cleaned up the dishes and said,
"You can go against the heavens, but you can't live with your own sins!”
"I'm just a woman. I can't get involved in your men's affairs. I made a mistake myself. I don't know.”
"It's good for you to remember this so that you won't kill people randomly in the future!”
After saying that.
Empress Ma stood up and left.
The father and son of the Zhu family looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
"Boss, after you finish eating, don't be idle first. Go and take Mr. Su's."
Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to finish his explanation, Zhu Biao immediately added,
"Your son understands. Don't worry, Imperial Father. Your son will take my younger brothers for an experiment to see the effect. If the effect is good, then we can implement the reform.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said gratefully,
"Yes! That's right, that's what I mean. Let's see how the monkeys react first. Those dogs in the imperial court are much harder to deal with than little wimps!”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao's expression turned solemn.
A reform without bloodshed, a reform without killing.
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
The previous abolition of the official gentry not paying grain affected the interests of the entire world.
The current changes to the salary system were even more against the entire world's scholars.
They were completely on the opposite side!
Thinking of this.
Zhu Biao was worried.
"Mister Su's future in the imperial court is not going to be easy."
"It's fine, don't worry. Don't underestimate him. Besides, there's still us, right?”
With Zhu Yuanzhang's support, Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Imperial Father is right."
"Oh right, Imperial Father, you asked your son to investigate the Jurchen clan near Liaodong last time."
Zhu Yuanzhang was confused and asked suspiciously,
"What? It had only been a few days, and the spy had returned?”
Zhu Biao shook his head slowly, looking a little conflicted.
"The spy hasn't returned yet, but after your son returned, I flipped through the history books and looked up the relevant records of the Jurchen clan.”
"A sentence appeared inside, your son doesn't know whether to say it or not."
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze turned serious as he said,"
"Speak!"
Zhu Biao took a deep breath and bowed.
"Father, according to the historical records, the Liao Emperor, Yelu Abao Ji, once commented on the Jurchen clan."
"If there are less than ten thousand Jurchen, they will be invincible!”
