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

Chapter 610 Daoyan's hope is completely shattered

Chapter 610 Dao Yan’s hopes are completely shattered

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Daoyan in front of him coldly and said nothing for a long time.

The entire hall fell into a long silence.

After a long time, so long that Daoyan thought he was almost turned into a clay or wooden sculpture, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke.

"Daoyan, Weiyong didn't tell us about what he arranged."

"But, that's not a problem."

"These are all internal affairs of the Foreign Affairs Department!"

"He is a doctor in the Foreign Affairs Department. He has made the arrangements. As your subordinate, you just need to do the work."

"When this matter has a result, you report it to him. I believe that with his personality, he will definitely bring you to our place and let you report again."

"What about you? Weiyong left right before you said you couldn't find him, and you even found us here?"

"You really can't find it?"

"You really don't know about Wei Yong's trip?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's questions were like heavy hammers, hitting Daoyan's heart directly.

Daoyan is right to have some thoughts!
But he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually reveal all his thoughts to him without giving him any face at all.

They were even put out to dry in broad daylight.

Doesn’t he know about Mr. Hu’s trip?
How can it be?

In order to go on a long journey during this period, Master Hu’s family not only purchased a lot of things, but Master Hu himself also said goodbye to many people in advance.

These movements have never been concealed at all.

As for Daoyan, although Master Hu had forgotten about him, he never took the initiative to talk to him about this matter.

But anyone who has some connections in Yingtian City would know this news.

Therefore, Daoyan’s words were bullshit to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Daoyan was truly feeling hopeless at this moment, because he really didn't know how to deal with all this.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, his tricks and sophistry were completely useless.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang himself is the rule maker, he will only follow the rules he made.

Even when he feels that the rules are not in his favor, he will immediately change one or several of them.

He will not have any hesitation or embarrassment about this!
poof...

Daoyan knelt on the ground neatly and said in a deep voice.

"My lord is guilty!"

What Zhu Yuanzhang just said was too harsh.

Especially regarding Mr. Hu’s speculation, it has to be said that it absolutely hit the mark.

At least based on Daoyan's understanding of Master Hu, he would really do that.

Therefore, Daoyan knelt down without any excuses.

He wanted to know a result now, a result that belonged to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly, and then said in a deep voice.

"Alright, this is the first time, so for Wei Yong's sake I won't punish you. Just remember this for now!"

"If you do it again next time, it won't be so easy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Daoyan kowtowed politely, then slowly got up from the ground and stood there with his head slightly lowered.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the other person and said unhappily.

"I have seen many cunning officials, but it is beyond my expectation that a monk can have so many tricks."

"You don't have to pretend to be so honest in front of me!" "In fact, you are not afraid of me in your heart now, or you are afraid, but not much."

"You are still regretting more!"

"I regret not finding out more about my personality before I rashly approached me!"

"I am frightened!"

Daoyan knelt down again.

However, this time when he knelt down, he was no longer timid as before, but instead seemed particularly calm.

Even the words "I am terrified" that he shouted out sounded more like a formality, without any trace of trepidation in his voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand unhappily.

"Okay, let's go!"

"People like you will either get into trouble and die in our hands one day, or you will accomplish something great. We are waiting to see what happens to you."

"As for the Foreign Diplomatic Department, just take care of your own business. As for the rest, wait until Weiyong comes back to deal with it!"

"Yes, I resign!"

Daoyan said nothing more. After saying goodbye politely, he slowly left the Jinshen Hall.

It was not until he walked down the long stairs and saw the blue sky and white clouds above his head that Daoyan smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh.

Just now, Zhu Yuanzhang actually guessed something wrong.

It's not that he's not afraid or that he's not afraid much.

In fact, he was almost scared to death by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, the clothes on his back were still sticking to his body.

He is not afraid of death. Even if a butcher's knife hits his neck, he will not change color.

But he was afraid that his career would end there.

Today, he not only controls all the affairs of the Foreign Diplomatic Department, big and small.

More importantly, people from the Foreign Diplomatic Department have already taken root in more than a dozen small countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty.

Although their identities are just businessmen who are content to make money.

However, relying on their identity as "Ming people" and all kinds of "rare treasures" that were transported over long distances, they were able to establish connections with many nobles in the local small countries.

After "taking root" in the local area, it not only brought a steady stream of silver and money to the Foreign Diplomatic Department.

It also brought a variety of information.

And this information can not only help Daoyan understand the real situation in these countries.

The most important thing is that Daoyan can finally start thinking about how to make some noise in these countries.

After all, it is different from the long-standing officialdom culture and fighting methods in the Central Plains where the Ming Dynasty is located.

These foreign nations, which had only inherited a little bit of the Central Plains civilization, were completely powerless against a series of traps designed with money, rhetoric, and some small tricks.

Just a little manipulation can cause the originally stagnant foreign political arena to become divided and full of conflict.

If necessary, Daoyan could even cause complete chaos in the originally high-ranking foreign countries with just one letter.

This feeling was so wonderful, the sense of having the entire country in his control, made him addicted.

As a result, he accidentally offended Zhu Yuanzhang, and the matter seemed to be over.

How could he not be afraid?
Monk Daoyan turned his head to look at the solemn and dignified Jinshen Hall behind him, wiped the cold sweat from his head again, and made a secret decision in his heart.

"From now on, it is better to let Lord Hu deal with Emperor Zhu!"

"Only someone like Lord Hu, who has known His Majesty for many years, can stand up to such a wise and powerful founding emperor!"

"Oh, a person like me who harbors evil intentions can only continue to hide in the darkness!"

After wiping his head again, Monk Daoyan finally turned around and walked out of the palace.

Don’t think about it, just work overtime!
