Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 593: The Three Fleets Returning from the Expedition

Chapter 593: The Three Fleets Returning from the Expedition
Master Hu's words made everyone in the hall feel a little nauseous.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were fine, as they had heard many of Mr. Hu's "nonsense" in this hall.

Don't even mention joking and greeting people so casually.

If other people knew that Master Hu had talked about Zhu Yuanzhang's abdication in front of them, they would probably be scared to death on the spot.

But it was precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang and his father turned a blind eye that Fu Youde and others looked at Master Hu with even more horror.

"My god, this is what it means to be a real brother to His Majesty. What's the difference between coming to the palace and visiting relatives?"

"A real man should be like this! I wonder when I, Li Jinglong, will be so majestic?"

"Tsk! Does this old fox Hu Weiyong look down on me, Lan Yu? Otherwise, why didn't he even say hello to me?"

Putting aside the thoughts of the three people, since Master Hu had spoken to Fu Youde, Fu Youde naturally had to respond.

"Greetings, Lord Hu. Although I got a bit tanned during this trip."

"As for my wife and children at home, they are under the protection and care of His Majesty, so there is no need to worry!"

Mr. Hu curled his lips in boredom.

The older this old guy gets, the less courageous he becomes.

Originally, this was nothing.

But the old guy didn't expect that his behavior not only did not add points to him, but instead deducted points from him in the eyes of Old Zhu.

Old Zhu is a pure profit-seeker, with a little emotion at most.

As long as you don't interfere with the interests of the Zhu family, and even bring benefits to the Zhu family, you will naturally live comfortably.

Even if you get along with Lao Zhu more comfortably and maintain a good relationship, Lao Zhu can even tolerate some minor flaws.

But if you are like that old fellow Fu Youde who "strictly adheres to the code of conduct as an official", then you are finished.

Since you and Zhu Yuanzhang are only discussing the relationship between the monarch and his subject, then naturally Zhu Yuanzhang will not talk to you about feelings but only about interests.

Therefore, Master Hu suddenly felt that he and Fu Youde could no longer see eye to eye.

After he nodded to Lan Yu and Li Jinglong as a greeting, he turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao who were sitting at the top.

"Your Majesty, why did you call me here in such a hurry? What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Master Hu in annoyance, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Can't we call you if we don't have something urgent?"

"You are also a subject of the Ming Dynasty. Are you not happy to contribute to the Ming Dynasty?"

Master Hu puffed out his chest, looking so righteous and confident.

"Of course I'm not happy about that!"

"I've been working for most of my life, who would be willing to keep working for your family?"

"I just want to be happy every day!"

"Although I didn't do anything illegal, I don't want to work either!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Jinshen Hall fell completely silent.

Lan Yu, who had originally raised his head slightly and looked down on others, now silently lowered his head.

He looked at Master Hu deeply and secretly expressed his admiration in his heart.

Damn, this is the real boss.

How dare you say this in front of His Majesty?

So fierce!

Compared with Master Hu, Lan Yu's charges and fights in previous years seemed less dangerous.

Without him!

The longer one stays in the Ming Dynasty, the deeper his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang becomes.

The more you know about Zhu Yuanzhang, the more you know how irritable his temper is! At least, no matter how arrogant Lan Yu is outside, after meeting Zhu Yuanzhang, he is like a mouse seeing a cat.

In fact, in Lan Yu's impression, the only person who could speak like Master Hu in front of Zhu Yuanzhang was Xu Da, besides Master Hu himself.

But he didn't know that Xu Da was now too polite in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang had almost no reaction to Mr. Hu's unique "nonsense".

It’s not that his temper has improved, it’s just that he has heard it too much and has become desensitized.

They were horrified when they first heard it, and then they were furious, but now they have heard it more than a dozen times, and now they can still face it calmly.

You might even have to say 'as expected'!
"Okay, Weiyong, I called you here this time because I have something to discuss with you."

"This matter of developing and plundering foreign countries was originally your idea. If we don't discuss this with you, we won't be sure about it!"

"Take a look at this report first, and we'll talk after you finish reading it!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Song Li hurriedly delivered the report on the imperial desk to Master Hu.

Master Hu did not refuse, but as he took the report, he glared at Song Li.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Hurry up and move the chairs, make tea, and get some snacks!"

"When you were at my house, did I give you less food or drink?"

Song Li was stunned by the sudden "indiscriminate attack" from Master Hu, and he instinctively looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang just waved his hand unhappily with his mouth drooping, and Song Li then hurried to deal with Master Hu.

Master Hu didn't care about those things. He was really looking at the report in his hand seriously.

This report was actually divided into three parts, coming from Fu Youde, Li Jinglong and Lan Yu respectively.

Coincidentally, the first one was from Li Jinglong.

As Mr. Hu watched, he actually laughed out loud.

He looked up at Li Jinglong, with a playful smile on his face as he teased without any concealment.

"Li Jiujiang, how's it going?"

"After this trip, I finally got to be a commander-in-chief. Now you know how difficult it is to lead troops in battle, right?"

If anyone else dared to tease Li Jinglong like this, he would probably have to sneer back on the spot.

But facing Master Hu, he could only smile bitterly and bow.

He didn't say a word, but it was as if he had said everything.

There’s nothing else to say, just three words: please let me go.

As for why Master Hu teased Li Jinglong like that?

Because, after he landed and built the city, he suffered a minor defeat.

Although the report was vague, it even went on to claim that a lot of territory had been occupied and many people had been killed.

But who is Mr. Hu?

Could the little tricks of the Spring and Autumn style of writing in this memorial be hidden from him?

If this is just the initial discomfort.

So what Li Jinglong did afterwards could basically be considered to be in compliance with the rules.

There's nothing too outstanding about it, but there aren't any big loopholes either.

Putting down Li Jinglong's report as if it was tasteless but a pity to throw it away, Master Hu turned around and looked at Lan Yu's.

Then he gasped as he looked at Master Hu.

Damn, this is indeed the style of this crazy Lan Yu.

Damn it, he clearly occupied a piece of land to trade and make money.

As a result, this guy almost destroyed the country!
What the hell are we going to do with trade in the future?
