"Imperial Preceptor, these words are too shocking. We…can't take it.”Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed on the Eight Trigrams Stage.
Lu Ya's gaze was calm as he said,"
"I have no prejudice against Confucianism. I just want to guide them on the right track, scrape their bones to cure the poison, and resolve the curse of the historical cycle.”
"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. I've said it before, no matter what you choose, I will help you.”
" However, if you choose to give up on this path and do not implant bloodlust into the scholarly faction, making it impossible for people to live like humans, then…"
Lu Ya was silent for a few seconds before he chuckled.
"Let the Han Family's mountains and rivers be trampled by the Outsiders in the future and seek light again.”
On the Eight Trigrams Stage, Lu Ya's words were filled with suppression and coldness, making Zhu Yuanzhang completely silent.
……
Walking out of the Stargazing Tower, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up.
There stood a lonely figure with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what the conversation tonight meant, but the lonely figure on the tall building might become his strongest support in the future.
This was because he was about to become the enemy of all the Confucian scholars in the world.
Lu Ya stood on the Eight Trigrams Stage, his white clothes spotless and fluttering in the wind as he silently looked at the capital.
Zhu Yuanzhang finally made his decision.
Because he couldn't accept that sentence:
"Let the Outsiders trample over the Han Clan's mountains and rivers before they seek light!”
If he didn't do it, he would be killed by the alien races in the future. Instead of that, he might as well be the sole husband.
Mission: Help Zhu Yuanzhang teach the Crown Prince.
At this moment, a notification sounded in Lu Ya's mind again.
Lu Ya's expression changed slightly.
Crown Prince?
If he remembered correctly, Zhu Biao was only thirteen years old. This age was the time when his worldview was being shaped.
Sigh!
He had taught his father, and now he had to teach his son.
Lu Ya walked to the table and sat down. He picked up the charcoal pencil he made and buried his head in writing and drawing.
……
The next day.
At around four o'clock in the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang had already gotten up and washed up, preparing to go to court.
When he was the emperor, he was very diligent. The number of times and time he went to court far exceeded many emperors.
Therefore, the officials of the Hongwu period had to get up early every day. Moreover, they had to stand for a long time when they went to court. They were extremely tired.
Even so, no one dared to voice their dissatisfaction.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang himself was very diligent, sleeping later than them and waking up earlier than them.
The amount of government affairs handled every day was several times that of theirs.
At around six o'clock, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and a ray of sunlight shone directly into the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. There were already hundreds of officials gathered here, including Li Shan Chang and Hu Wei Yong.
The atmosphere in the morning court was quite heavy. Before Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, everyone was not in the mood to whisper and waited quietly.
Xu Da was among them.
Originally, he wanted to reorganize his troops and prepare for the expedition.
However, when he received Zhu Yuanzhang's decree last night, ordering him to attend court today, Xu Da was puzzled but did not think too much about it. Hence, he followed him to court today.
Footsteps came from outside.
The officials turned around and saw eight palace guards in pairs carrying four strange chests into the hall.
Everyone consciously opened up a path for the imperial guards. The imperial guards carefully placed the box on the middle hall and then turned to leave.
The officials looked at the four boxes and looked at each other. They were confused and curious about what was in the boxes.
"Your Majesty is in court!" Following the eunuch's shout, Zhu Yuanzhang entered from the inner hall, walked to the dragon throne, and glanced down.
After a series of court formalities, Zhu Yuanzhang said,""Gentlemen, do you have anything to report today?”
No one replied.
"Xu Da!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted.
"Your subject is here!" Xu Da stepped forward and cupped his fists.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and asked,"
"How are the preparations for the northern expedition?”
Xu Da deliberated for a moment before reporting,
" Your Majesty, all the troops have arrived. We are still counting the rations and preparing to recruit civilian workers…"
"We only need to prepare enough for the warhorses. We don't need the commoners either. We'll transfer a thousand people from the army to transport the horse grass.”Before Xu Da could speak, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Ah?" Xu Da was stunned, not understanding what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. He asked again,
"Your Majesty, you said that you won't bring any rations and commoners?”
"That's right. You only need to bring enough warhorses and cavalrymen. At the same time, prepare enough water bags.”Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Xu Da was silent for a moment before asking,
"Then, Your Majesty, what do the soldiers eat?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the box in the middle of the hall and said,"
"Eat that!"
Xu Da looked at the boxes, and the officials all frowned, becoming even more curious about the boxes.
A eunuch walked up to the chest and opened it quickly, revealing many iron cans.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,"
"Give me a can."
The eunuch didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly took out a can from the box and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the can, pulled up the tab, and started to eat with his chopsticks.
He had not eaten anything since he left the Stargazing Tower last night. He wanted to have an empty stomach so that he could have a good meal at court.
Below, the officials watched as Zhu Yuanzhang ate. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
[PS: I want to eat canned food too…I'm asking for flowers and tickets.]
