The Emperor of Ming returned to his palace.
In the Martial Meritocrats Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat high up on the gilded dragon throne.
Tang He, Fu Youde, and Jiang Meng stood below the steps.
"Jiang Meng."
"Your subject is here!"
Jiang Meng immediately knelt down on both knees, appearing extremely respectful.
"From today onwards, arrange for spies to be by his side.”
"Yes!"
"Remember, our goal is to let you find out his secrets, not to let you do those dirty things.”
"I understand!"
"Yes, you may leave."
"I will take my leave!"
Jiang Meng knelt down and kowtowed. Then, he stood up and left the Hall of Martial Valor to carry out the Emperor's orders.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his departing figure and slowly retracted his gaze.
It landed on Tang He and Fu Youde.
"Stand up."
"Thank you for your promotion!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tang He bowed and stood up.
"Zheng Youlun, bring two stools for the two of them.”Zhu Yuanzhang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure silently walked out from a dark corner.
It was an old eunuch with white hair and red clothes.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After bowing to Zhu Yuanzhang, he brought over two stools and placed them in front of Tang He and Fu Youde.
Tang He and Fu Youde quickly cupped their fists to express their gratitude.
The other eunuchs in the palace could be treated indifferently by virtue of their status as Great Ming Duke.
However, Zheng Youlun was different. This old eunuch was an old man who had been serving Zhu Yuanzhang before he ascended the throne.
It had been nearly twenty years.
Zhu Yuanzhang had never treated eunuchs as humans.
Only Zheng Youlun, the old man who had been by his side for more than 20 years.
He still had feelings in his heart.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zheng Youlun was very self-aware and would never cross the line.
He only knew how to do what he was supposed to do.
Therefore, becoming Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant was far beyond the imagination of a dog like Jiang He.
Therefore, in front of Zheng Youlun, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty except Zhu Yuanzhang dared to put on airs in front of him.
After all, the King of Hell was easy to deal with, but the little ghosts were difficult to deal with. Anyone who could be an official in the imperial court knew that.
After moving a stool in front of the two of them, Zheng Youlun slowly disappeared into the dark corner again.
"Sit down." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the stool and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you for your promotion."
Tang He and the other two bowed respectfully and sat on the stool.
"Tang He."
"Your subject is here!" Tang He immediately stood up.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently and said,
"Alright, there's only a few of us here. Don't give us such a thing. Sit down.”
"Hehe, then I shall sit down." Tang He smiled wretchedly and sat down again.
"You old thing, hehe." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Then, he asked,
"What do you think of what Ying said in the restaurant today?”
Tang He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was asking about his opinion on Zhu Ying's issue with the Japanese slaves.
She quietly raised her head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression. Hmm, not bad. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Then this subject will be bold enough to say it?"
"Speak!"
"I think that Young Master Ying is right. Who else in the Ming Dynasty would be able to deal with the Wei slaves but me?”Tang He raised his head confidently.
Fu Youde's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Tang He's words also included Fu Youde in his disdain.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon throne and saw Fu Youde's expression.
He smiled and said,
"Oh really? But I see that State Duke Ying doesn't quite agree with your statement.”
Fu Youde hurriedly stood up when the Emperor mentioned him.
He did not choose to deny it, but boldly affirmed,
"Your Majesty is wise. I do not agree with Duke Xin.”
"Hmm? Old Fu, are you trying to destroy my platform?”Tang He's eyes widened.
"Big mouth Tang, it's not that this old man wants to ruin your reputation. I just feel that I have a different opinion of what you said just now.”
"Alright, alright! You're a good old dog, Fu. Then tell me, in the entire Ming Dynasty, besides me, who else can be competent for the task of serving as a Japanese slave in the sea?”
"Me!"
Tang He:
He looked at Fu Youde, who had a calm expression on his face and seemed to be aloof from the world.
She immediately understood his actions just now. He was trying to fight for credit with her!
"Bullshit!" Tang He was furious.
"Haha."
"What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
"I'm not laughing at anything. I just thought of something funny.”
"You're clearly mocking me!”
"I didn't say that you admitted it yourself, Duke Xin.”
"Me!￥#”
......
He looked at the two people below who were cursing like shrews.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He felt as if he had returned to the time when he was still the commander of the Red Turban Army.
At that time, Chang Yuchun was still around. Every time the battle started, everyone would also quarrel endlessly in the military tent over the candidate to fight.
His thoughts drifted away, but he immediately retracted them.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed and became extremely serious.
"Alright, shut up!"
Tang He and Fu Youde saw Zhu Yuanzhang's solemn expression and immediately stopped talking and stood respectfully.
"Old Fu, you're good at everything, but you're too thoughtful.”
Fu Youde, who had been reprimanded by the Emperor, did not say anything to apologize. Instead, an awkward smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue. He looked at Tang He and said,
"Big mouth Tang, when will you change your bad temper?”
"Me?"
"You what?"
"It's nothing. You're right.”Tang He felt extremely wronged.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to continue with these two old things. He said bluntly,
"I'll leave the matter of the Wei slaves to the two of you.”
Hearing this, Tang He and Fu Youde revealed a joyful expression.
Kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, he shouted,
"I thank Your Majesty!"
"I kowtow to thank you for your position!"
