"You…"
Lee Shan Chang was stunned and gritted his teeth.
Everyone in the imperial court said that His Highness the King of Qin was the reincarnation of the devil king and was not afraid of anything. Today, not only did Li Shan Chang learn from him, but he also got to know Zhu Xi again.
After all, when Zhu Rong said this, Lee Shan Chang had to respond no matter how angry he was. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that he wasn't loyal to the Emperor?
More importantly, no one took Zhu Yuanzhang's words to heart. After all, he was the ruler of a country. Even if he was slapped in the face, he would pretend not to see it. He might even have to give them a way out.
However, if this matter was about Li Shan Chang, then it had to be true.
"Alright, just as His Highness the King of Qin said, if the locust destroying spirit can really cure the locust plague, I would be willing to eat thousands of locusts alive!”
Lee Shan Chang nodded his head fiercely, and every word he said seemed to come out from between his teeth.
Zhu Rong did not notice this at all. Instead, he cupped his hands at Lee Shan Chang and said,"
"Mr. Shan Chang is indeed a pillar of my Ming Dynasty. These words have moved this king.”
Seeing this, the civil and military officials of the court naturally did not dare to make a sound.
Zhu Biao wanted to step out and be the peacemaker, but Liu Bowen quietly pulled his dragon robe. He looked back in confusion and saw Liu Bowen slightly raise his chin in the direction of the dragon throne.
Zhu Biao saw this and looked up. Although his father's expression was normal, there was a faint smile on his lips. He immediately understood!
Currently, there were a total of two forces opposing each other in the Great Ming Dynasty.
They were the Huaixi Gang led by Li Shanchang and the Zhedong Group led by Liu Bowen.
This was the reason why Liu Bowen had repeatedly asked to resign but was repeatedly rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, without Liu Bowen, Zhedong Group would definitely be suppressed by Huaixi Gang led by Li Shanchang!
At that time, Huaixi Gang would be the only faction in the imperial court.
At that time, Li Shan Chang was the leader of the Huaixi Gang and the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. It was very likely that he would threaten Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power.
And now, although Liu Bowen was in the court, his heart was still in the countryside. He had to endure and defend against the attacks of the Huaixi Gang, causing the Zhedong Group to be gradually suppressed.
At this moment, although Ming Temple still looked like the two big groups, Zhedong Group was no longer a match for Huaixi Gang.
At this moment, if Li Shan Chang fell into Zhu Rong's hands, it would definitely weaken Huaixi Gang's momentum.
After all, Lee Shan Chang cared about his face the most. If he really ate one or two locusts in public, he would have to be honest for at least half a year and report his illness to his family.
This was naturally what Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to see. The only question was, would the locust destroying spirit that the unfilial Second Prince mentioned really work?
This was also the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang looked at His Highness Fengtian with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Second brother, the people of Bei Zhi Li are currently in dire straits. I can give you a chance to try, but I hope that this time will not be wasted!”
Zhu Rong's expression turned solemn. At this moment, his usual unyielding manner finally disappeared. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne. He cupped his hands and said seriously,
"Father, don't worry. Back then, you taught us brothers that we shouldn't fight a battle we're not confident in.”
"Good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and stood up from his throne. He looked at the ministers and waved his hand.
"Erhu, bring our Embroidered Uniform Guards and Imperial Guards and catch a few thousand live locusts near Ying Tian City as soon as possible!”
Zhao Erhu's expression turned solemn as he quickly cupped his hands and said,"
"Your humble servant will obey!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said again,
"Bowen, pick a three mu fertile field around Ying Tian Prefecture for testing.”
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Bowen cupped his hands.
" Good sir, inform all the officials in the capital who are above Rank-3 to wait until…uh…"
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze. He turned to look at Zhu Rong.
"When will you be able to finish your Mie Huang Ling?”
Zhu Rong looked up at the sky. The sun was high up in the sky, and it was noon. After pondering for a moment, his eyes flashed.
"Today is 11:00!"
"Oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, but he was also a little worried.
"This way, you only have two hours to prepare!”
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth curled up as he looked at the shocked expressions of all the civil and military officials, including Li Shan Chang. He immediately waved his hand and said,
"It's fine. It's just right."
"Haha…"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and looked at Zhu Rong with anticipation."
"In that case, it's settled.”
"Good sir, pass on our decree. All officials above the third rank in the capital, no matter what they are doing now, must rush to the location of the three mu of fertile land today.”
Lee Shan Chang's face paled and he hurriedly cupped his hands."
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
Seeing this, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiong with a gratified expression. He immediately stepped forward and whispered,
"It's up to you, Second Brother. Don't disappoint Father!”
Zhu Rong's expression was normal, but he replied quietly,"
"Come and help me later. I don't think there's enough time.”
"What?"
Zhu Biao trembled. When he saw someone looking over, he quickly put on a straight face and whispered again,"
"Didn't you say that it's seven o'clock today?”
"Because I already included you when I said it.”
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth curled up as he put his arm around Zhu Biao's shoulder."
"Who asked you to be my big brother?"
Zhu Biao was speechless, but he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"If that's the case, then the 'Investiture of the Gods' you mentioned earlier…"
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth twitched."
"Write!"
Zhu Biaofei quickly nodded.
"Second brother, don't worry, there's no problem on my side!”
