Jinyiwei? In his eyes, weren't they just a bunch of docile dogs?
The corners of Old Zhu's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of self-satisfaction appeared on his face.
The one emperor in history?
Yes!
I like this title very much.
She was happy and looked at Ye Jin with a much gentler gaze.
However, Ye Jin glanced at Old Zhu and said unhappily,""Look at how happy you are. I'm not praising you.”
"Moreover, Old Zhu…Cough, cough, no. The Emperor is good to the people, but he is not good to you high officials. So you have to remember what I said just now. Power and wealth were indeed good things, but without people, there was nothing.”
At this time, Old Zhu returned to his cool expression.
As he poured himself a glass of wine, he asked,"We've only known each other for two days, and we don't get along well. Why are you saying these things to this old man? Aren't you afraid that this old man will report you to the Embroidered Uniform Guards once I leave the house?!”
Ye Jin was slightly stunned and did not react.
That's right!
Was Yours Truly possessed just now?
Why was he suddenly so devoted to this old man?!
However, it was strange. No matter how much he argued with this old man, he still felt a trace of intimacy towards him.!
At this moment, Chan Chan, who was at the side, had already reacted. She looked at Old Zhu with a vigilant expression and said,"My young master didn't say anything just now, and you didn't hear anything either.”
Old Zhu was amused by Chan Chan's cuteness.
He chuckled and said," Haha, you little girl. You've learned the trick of 'deceiving yourself while stealing a bell'. But you just don't want to admit it?! The Brocade Guard is a secret organization that was newly established by the imperial court this year. It specializes in monitoring the officials of the world. If they really knew that your young master had said such treasonous words, they would definitely throw your young master into the imperial prison. Tsk tsk, your young master is so weak, how can he be a match for those vicious Embroidered Uniform Guards?!”
These words scared Chan Chan so much that her expression changed.
Seeing this, Ye Jin couldn't bear to see her. After picking up some food for her with his chopsticks, he comforted her,"Just listen to his nonsense. Those Embroidered Uniform Guards lackeys would never be interested in your Young Master, a seventh-ranked official. If they want to arrest someone, they will only arrest a high-ranking official, understand?! What was the purpose of the Emperor establishing the Brocade Guard?! They said that they were monitoring the world, but what could the common people and small officials do?! Only those with power and wealth were the targets of the Jinyiwei.”
These words were simple and clear, and it could be considered to have exposed the original intention of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the secret service organization.
When Chan Chan heard Ye Jin's words, she was slightly relieved.
Ye Jin pointed at Old Zhu and said,"So, the one who should be afraid is him, not us." Even if these words reach the ears of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, we won't be the ones to suffer…Don't you think I'm right, Old Guo?”
Old Zhu was not interested in Ye Jin's words.
In his eyes, the fierce Jinyiwei were as docile as puppies.
Therefore, he changed the topic and asked with interest,""You said that the current Emperor is the first Emperor in history. Isn't this flattery a little too much?”
Before Ye Jin could answer, Zhu Xiongying, who was cooking, suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a serious expression."Emperor…The Emperor is the first emperor in history."
Chan Chan pinched his pink little face and teased,"You're still so young. Are you going to learn to be a bootlicker?!”
"Hehe…" Zhu Xiongying wasn't angry. Instead, he showed a silly smile.
Then, she buried her head and continued eating.
Ye Jin poured Old Zhu a glass of wine and said,""After the three generations, the most righteous people in China were the Han and Ming. Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake in an uprising and overthrew the violent Qin Dynasty (not the Qin Dynasty of the First Emperor, but the Qin Dynasty of Qin II), creating the foundation of the Han family for 400 years. As for our Great Ming Dynasty, the current Emperor started off with a bowl and ended up with a country. Not only did he overthrow the tyranny of the Meng Yuan and restore the Han family's territory, he also treated the people as his sons and nephews. Therefore, saying that the Emperor was the first Emperor in history was really not flattering him.”
"Moreover, he's far away in the Imperial Palace in Yingtian City. He doesn't have clairvoyance or hearing. Can he hear me flattering him?! Even if I could hear it, would I be rewarded with an official position?! If you don't treat me as a crafty person and let the Embroidered Uniform Guards chop me down, I'll be burning incense.”
Zhu Yuanzhang automatically filtered out his rebellious words and asked,"Then in your heart, which emperors of the past dynasties can stand shoulder to shoulder with the current Emperor?!”
Ye Jin thought for a moment before replying," The current Emperor is a man of great talent and great strategy. He has conquered such a huge territory with his bare hands. Only the First Emperor, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.”
Old Zhu was a little surprised and quickly asked,""Don't tell me that the Tang Sect and Han Wu Sect are not qualified?!”
"No, I haven't." Ye Jin said with certainty.
When Old Zhu heard this, he was instantly overjoyed.
He poured himself a glass of wine.
After drinking the wine in one gulp, he laughed out loud and said,"These words should be revealed…"
Ye Jin rolled his eyes at him.
It was like a stone hammer.
This old man was a diehard fan of Old Zhu.
Then, would he be beaten to death by him next?!
Therefore, Ye Jin carefully probed,""If the kid says there's a 'but', will you flip out?!”
Old Zhu glanced at Ye Jin from the corner of his eyes and said nothing.
However, that fierce look in his eyes had already explained everything.
It was as if he was saying,"Kid, try it if you have the guts."
