Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 9

Zhu Ji was taken aback by his impulsive decision.

But when Liu Bowen stopped walking and turned to look at him questioningly, Zhu Ji suddenly felt that maybe he should do something.

"Sir, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm very afraid of death, so I don't dare and don't want to get involved in some whirlpools. But today I still have a few words to remind sir."

"If you are sick in the future, you might as well seek treatment from a doctor earlier, so as not to alarm some people and entrust your husband's life to a quack doctor. After [-] days of hard work, you should be more careful, sir."

What Zhu Ji said seemed to be nonsensical.

But Liu Bowen didn't understand what Zhu Ji meant.

He suddenly had an extremely strong curiosity about the eldest son of the emperor.

We must know that many people in this world have spread falsehoods, saying that Liu Ji's ingenuity is comparable to that of Marquis Wu, Yuan Lisheng.But he is very clear that he is only thoughtful about certain things, not able to pinpoint and calculate.

But the young man in front of him knew his identity, and still used this seemingly ambiguous words that could make him understand, warning himself that he must be careful that Hu Weiyong used poison to murder him while he was sick.

What a bizarre thing.

Liu Bowen involuntarily leaned on his staff and took two steps towards Zhu Ji, but suddenly stopped, as if thinking of something.

He looked at Zhu Ji deeply, but he still didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the carriage that had been waiting for a long time outside the cemetery.

An hour later, the news that Uncle Chengyi asked to see the emperor outside the Forbidden City spread throughout Yingtian Mansion in an instant.

In the resplendent Jinshen Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang is dealing with memorials stacked like hills.The influence of the solar eclipse half a month ago has still not disappeared, and the Ministry of Rites published another memorial today, detailing the preparations for the sacrifice at the vernal equinox.

Those guys with selfish intentions still have the meaning of urging themselves to commit crimes in their words.

There are only two copies of this kind of playbook, but a dozen or so are sent together.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he needed to call the two prime ministers, Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, over to give them a good reprimand.

Since the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang has worked hard to govern, and he believes that he has treated the people of the world better than ever.If he offended the heavens when he was the emperor, then Zhu Yuanzhang would have nothing to say. He was determined not to admit this mistake.

Hearing Liu Bowen begging to see him outside the Meridian Gate, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already a little uncomfortable, suddenly became annoyed.

He had explained to Liu Bowen several times before that Zhu Ji's existence should be a secret now.So neither he nor Zhu Ji can be exposed to the court officials for the time being.

But this Liu Bowen didn't even teach him for half a day, so he took the initiative to expose Xingzang. After that, he really didn't know whether he should save this old man's life.

Throwing the nonsense note aside and dismissing the maids serving in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Liu Bowen into the palace.

Just waiting for the servant who brought people in to walk out of the hall carefully and close the vermilion lacquer gate, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed off the brocade couch angrily, stopped in front of Liu Bowen, and reprimanded:
"What did we tell you when we went, that you and that bastard should not show your face in public. But how did you do it, huh? You walked into the Forbidden City openly after less than half a day of teaching. You think we are really reluctant to kill Are you?"

It was the first time for Liu Bowen to feel Zhu Yuanzhang's killing intent towards him so directly.

Even more intuitive than the last time he declined the post of prime minister saying he was sick and begging for bones.

At this moment, he has a deeper understanding of Zhu Ji's position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, but there are some things that he must explain to Zhu Yuanzhang as a courtier.

"Your Majesty, I risked my life to see you, just wanted to say a few words from the bottom of my heart to Your Majesty."

"Today's young master, does your majesty really want to bring him back? Although I know that your majesty will definitely make sufficient preparations, I have to say that although that young master is now in the wild, he already has a head start. If you are in a high position in the future..."

"Go on."

Zhu Yuanzhang has never liked Liu Bowen's temperament of half-talking and half-hiding, but now he is hesitating again, and directly urged in a cold voice:

"Today, I told the young master a few stories about Yu Ionzhong, and he guessed the identity of the young man. His Majesty told the young man clearly earlier that this young man has a clean family background and has never read anything except simple elementary school. Book."

"Later, I even gently reminded the minister to be careful that Hu Weiyong colluded with the doctor to murder the minister while the minister was ill."

"How can a commoner in the countryside see clearly the articles that my humble minister cherishes, and the discord between the parties in the court, if he is not born to know, or the man who is destined by destiny."

Speaking of this, Liu Bowen was already dripping with sweat.

He expected that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had repeatedly confirmed the identity of the prince.Since there is no problem with his identity, the risk is too great for him to expose these things that Zhu Yuanzhang already knew but pretended not to know.

But he couldn't help it.

"Forgive me for such an ability, even the current crown prince is hard to match. Once His Majesty welcomes him into the court, I am afraid that my Ming Dynasty will also produce a Tang Wang Li Shimin."

As soon as the five words "Tang Wang Li Shimin" came out, Liu Ji knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must be staring at him with murderous eyes without looking up. As long as he made a slight movement, the tight string in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart would immediately touched.

At that time, he will be unable to escape death.

At this point, Liu Bowen no longer cared about life and death.Long before he came, he had already made such preparations.

What he was most worried about was that Zhu Yuanzhang's father-son affection for Zhu Ji would get mixed up with the country and society, which would eventually lead to a tragedy.

Liu Bowen stood with his head down.Beads of sweat couldn't stop falling from under his chin on the precious Persian carpet. At this moment, he could only hear his own heartbeat and Zhu Yuanzhang's violent breathing.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:
"I believe that he is not that kind of person."

The tranquility in Jinshen Hall was instantly broken, and Liu Bowen finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.He knew that today he could walk out of the Forbidden City alive.

"Now that you have appeared in front of everyone, it is not suitable to continue teaching him. There is still a vacancy in Zhejiang to participate in politics, so you can do it first. When he comes back, if he wants, you can go to his house Let’s make a long history.”

Liu Bowen understood that with Zhu Yuanzhang, he was already tied to Zhu Ji.

Although he didn't know the reason, he believed that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to care about his words at all.

With another sigh in his heart, Liu Bowen knelt down and kowtowed, and then retreated.

In the palace, only Zhu Yuanzhang was left muttering to himself.
