After Old Zhu Became the Emperor, He Forgot About This
"Don't glare at me like that…Even if you glare at me, I still have to say it…" Ye Jin was not afraid of Old Zhu's murderous gaze.
Old Zhu was slightly stunned.
What?
This kid really had some guts.
Alright then!
If he knew this old man's true identity, would he be so scared that he would urinate?!
As if recalling Ye Jin's frightened look after he laid his cards on the table, Old Zhu couldn't help but smile. He waved his hand and said,"This old man is just a mountain villager, not a loyal minister or filial son of anyone. What does your arrangement of the current Emperor have to do with this old man?!”
Ye Jin rolled his eyes at Old Zhu.
It was as if he was saying,"I don't believe you. You're a bad old man."
" Then are you going to listen or not?!" Ye Jin asked.
"If you dare to say it, why wouldn't I dare to listen?!”Zhu Yuanzhang said," But I really don't know which of your words are true and which are false. You said that His Majesty is the greatest emperor in history, but you're going to slander him in the next sentence.”
"Humans are complicated creatures. It's stupid to label a person.”Ye Jin explained.
" What?!" Old Zhu was confused.
Although he had never heard the word 'creature' before, he could barely understand what it meant.
But what was a label?!
Ye Jin was stunned.
Eh!
He was so stupid that he even used modern vocabulary.
"What I mean is that people are very complicated. It's irresponsible to just say whether a person is a good person or a bad person." For example, you should have been on the battlefield before, right?!”
Old Zhu nodded." I've been a soldier for a few years. I'm an old soldier!"”
"An old soldier like you is a guardian god to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but to those enemy soldiers who have died in your hands, you are a demon-like existence…That's what I mean."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Ye Jin continued,"It's the same today." He was originally a commoner in Huaiyou. Without the help of any family or local tyrants, he rebelled, overthrew the rule of Baoyuan, and restored the Han family. In this aspect, he could indeed be called the one emperor in history.”
Ye Jin said as he poured a glass of wine for Old Zhu.
The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it in one gulp.
Ye Jin continued," But because the Emperor's background is too low and he has no family heritage, his vision and structure are very narrow. He lacks foresight. As for the concept of governing the country, it's a complete mess. There's almost nothing to be redeeming.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was flabbergasted.
He had already expected Ye Jin to say something treasonous, but he had never expected that this kid would say something so impolite. He was simply criticizing his 15 years of hard work for nothing.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally an extremely conceited person. After hearing Ye Jin belittle him like this, the anger that had already disappeared once again filled his chest.
"You mean to say that you look down on the Emperor's background and despise him for not being from a noble family but a poor commoner?"! So he was not worthy of being the emperor, not worthy of sitting firmly in the Ming Dynasty?!”
Although these words were not loud, they were full of lethality.
Even Chan Chan and Zhu Xiong Ying could feel the killing intent in his words.
The two of them raised their heads and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.
Ye Jin's expression did not change. After drinking a cup of wine, he said,"Bullsh * t great clans. In my eyes, all so-called great clans are bullsh * t.”
Hearing Ye Jin's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger miraculously disappeared.
He blinked his tiger-like eyes and looked at Ye Jin as if he was asking," Where is your standpoint, kid? Did he bring a dog?
Ye Jin ignored him and said to Zhu Xiongying,""Uncle, can I tell you a story?!”
What?
Why would he let this kid call him 'uncle'?!
He should be called 'Older Brother'.
But at this time, Zhu Xiongying had already clapped his hands and said,""Alright, alright…"
Chan Chan also quickly put down her chopsticks and listened attentively.
She knew that her young master had a basket of stories in his stomach.
"In a place far, far away from our Ming Dynasty, there is a small country. The king of this country has a beautiful daughter called Princess Rose. Because Princess Rose is so beautiful, people from the surrounding countries have heard of her, including an evil dragon that lives in the mountains..."
"Aren't dragons gods?" Zhu Xiongying quickly interrupted.! Why is there an evil dragon?"
"During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Imperial Censor Wei Zheng once killed an evil dragon in his dream.”Ye Jin explained.
"Oh..." Zhu Xiongying obediently agreed and shut his mouth.
"This evil dragon is not only lecherous, but also very greedy. That's why his cave is full of glittering gold and jewelry. When the evil dragon heard that Princess Rosette was very beautiful, it came to this country and captured Princess Rosette.”
"The king had no choice but to issue an edict to let the warriors of the country go to crusade against the evil dragon. Then, a young man from a poor family was summoned to go out..."
The story was very cliché. The young man went to save the princess and killed the evil dragon after a great battle.
However, he was blinded by money and lost his mind by the treasures and the beauty of the princess. In the end, the dragon-slaying youth became an evil dragon.
Ye Jin concluded,"So the young man became a new evil dragon entrenched in the mountains."”
Zhu Xiongying and Chan Chan were still listening, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already understood the meaning of this story.
She stood up with a swoosh and stared straight at Ye Jin, asking coldly,""You mean... Had the Emperor become a greedy, lecherous dragon that bullied the people?!”
Ye Jin's gaze met his, not losing the slightest bit.
"I didn't say that His Majesty has become an evil dragon, but that His Majesty has forgotten about me."”
"Arrogant, audacious, you are courting death…" Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth.
Killing intent instantly erupted from his body.
However, his killing intent erupted quickly and was retracted even faster.
In just an instant, the killing intent disappeared without a trace.
He picked up Zhu Xiongying, who was still in a daze, and turned around to walk towards the courtyard.
The entire process was silent.
He walked all the way to the entrance of the courtyard and said coldly,"Hmph, you came here to enjoy yourself but returned in disappointment. You should take care of yourself…"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already disappeared into the darkness.
