Zhu Yuanzhang was getting more and more satisfied with his eldest grandson. He looked at Zhu Huai with a doting expression.
Liu Sanwu secretly clenched his fists, his heart already beginning to churn.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu and said,"Mr. Liu, wait for us outside. Let's talk to this child."”
Liu Sanwu very consciously agreed. In the end, he nodded at Zhu Huai, then cupped his hands and left.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Huai were left in the room.
Zhu Huai questioned Zhu Yuanzhang suspiciously,"Old Yellow Head, what kind of official are you?”
Liu Sanwu was a scholar of good fortune in the Imperial Academy and was at least a seventh-grade official.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,"His status is a hundred million points higher than his."”
"Higher?" "It seems that I've underestimated you." Zhu Huai said with some admiration.”
He had always thought that the yellow-haired old man was at most a seventh-grade official.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dwell too much on this topic. He asked Zhu Huai,""What do you think of Scholar Liu?”
Zhu Huai scratched his head." Mr. Liu is a righteous man with a refined character and is knowledgeable.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued,""What do you think of his impression of you?”
Zhu Huai thought for a moment and said,"Mister Liu treats me with respect and doesn't look down on me because I'm a merchant."”
Compared to Huang Zicheng, Liu Sanwu was obviously more in line with the style of a scholar-bureaucrat.
"Old man, let me tell you something!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.”
Zhu Huai listened attentively.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction." Don't think that anyone is a good person just because they are friendly to you. You also don't want anyone to scold you and think that the other party is in the wrong!”
"You must have felt his love for you just now.”
"Especially that last warning."
"What do you think he meant?"
Zhu Huai was puzzled.”
"Yes, but you can't hide your strength and bide your time just because of a sentence from him!"”
"You're a merchant now, but if one day, you stand in a higher position, or even... even above Liu Sanwu, then what if you feel that what he said is wrong?”
"Scholars and scholars always consider how to conduct themselves. You have to have your own opinions, especially after you stand high. You will meet countless people like Liu Sanwu!”
"Many of them talk about morality, benevolence, and righteousness. They even talk about the world and the country. However, you have to know how to distinguish which people are useful and which ones are disobedient.”
"You have to be brave enough to face power and difficulties. When you encounter problems, don't be like Liu Sanwu, who gives up because he's afraid of offending others.!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were blazing with flames.
Back when he was the ruler of the world, it was not that he did not measure the land. Otherwise, the Fish Scale Yellow Book would not have been issued today!
Back then, he had touched the interests of many scholar-bureaucrats, but what did Zhu Yuanzhang do?
Kill!
He killed many Confucian scholars before spreading the household registration system of the Fish Scale Yellow Book to determine the positions of scholars, farmers, merchants, and businessmen.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born a warrior. He did not like Confucian scholars, but he still wanted to use them to govern the country.
As an emperor, he had to know how to endure. He had to be broad-minded and tolerate things and people he did not like.
However, he also needed to have a supreme power. If he thought it was right, he would not be afraid of anyone obstructing him. Even if he had to bear the infamy, he would still carry it out!
"I'll continue listening," Zhu Huai replied solemnly.”
"Actually…"
Zhu Huai scratched his head." I still have another way to collect money.”
"Hmm?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him blankly." You still have a way? What is it?"
Zhu Huai looked ahead and shouted,"Snatch!" The Ming Dynasty had cultivated martial arts for several years, and the foreign barbarians were rich in wealth. They could just snatch it back!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched.
Didn't this kid inherit his ruthlessness from his grandfather?
That's right. When I had no food to eat, didn't I snatch Meng Yuan's territory?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang would not talk about military and political matters with Zhu Huai now. The time was not enough.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled knowingly." Hehe, there's no rush. I can still live for a few more years. I can still teach you some things."”
Zhu Huai chuckled." Old Yellow Head, you're not kind. You even lied to yourself!"”
Hmm?
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.
What did I lie to myself about?
"How many years can you live like this?" Zhu Huai laughed. You can clearly live for decades! If this isn't lying to me, what is it?"
"Little brat!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,"Let's go."”
……
After leaving Zhu Huai's courtyard, Liu Sanwu had already been waiting outside for a long time, his expression very hesitant.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, he wanted to say something but stopped.
Zhu Yuanzhang had long seen through his thoughts."You should know that he is our grandson. As for the fact that he's our imperial grandson, you should keep your mouth shut! We have our own plans!"
Liu Sanwu's heart jumped and his scalp went numb. He hurriedly said,"Yes!"
The Emperor had used the word 'Imperial Grandson'!
What did this mean? This meant that it was true!
How could Liu Sanwu not be excited?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him expressionlessly and said casually,""What do you think of this child?"
"This monarch…is the country's fortune!" Liu Sanwu said excitedly.”
"His talent is very high, his knowledge is broad, and he has a way of governing the country. Although he has shocking words, he is still a good weapon for the Zhu family!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded." Today's conversation will rot in your stomach. Go back."”
"Yes!"
Although Liu Sanwu had the scholarly air of many Confucian scholars, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had a good character and could be left to Zhu Huai.
It was a good blade that could rectify the country's customs.
……
Hall of Heaven.
After Zhu Yuanzhang returned, he began to personally review the memorials.
He was good at everything in his life, but when it came to being the emperor, he was too serious and too personal.
After approving a few memorials, Chen Hong walked over carefully.""Emperor, Grand Sun requests an audience."
Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile gradually melted. Let him do it."
Chen Hong was curious.
The Emperor's change of expression was too strange. He could not understand the Emperor's thoughts at that moment.
After a while, Zhu Yunwen came.
"Royal grandfather, your grandson has been looking for you all day. Where have you been?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said kindly,"Is there something you need?"”
Zhu Yunwen said,"It's nothing. I'm just afraid that grandfather will be lonely, so I thought of father and came to talk to grandfather."”
No one in the royal family was a fool.
