I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 702
"At that time, those who have evil intentions will definitely seize the opportunity and use it to attack His Majesty, and you should also be able to imagine what kind of chaos it will cause, Your Majesty.

It's fine to say this kind of thing in private, and it's okay to show mercy to the Liu family, but your majesty, you must never say it to outsiders! "

Li Tian smiled bitterly, nodded and said,
"Don't worry, Shi Qi, that's all I said, I'm not stupid enough to intentionally expose my shortcomings and cause chaos in the world.

Furthermore, no matter how wronged the Liu family is, they shouldn't hurt me by killing innocent people.

Based on this alone, no matter how wronged he is, I will never forgive him. "

With Li Tian's guarantee, Yang Shiqi finally felt a little relieved.

Li Tian thought for a while and then continued to ask,

"I still don't understand one thing, this Liu Jing is clearly the second son of Bo Chengyi, the title of Bo Chengyi is passed on to his eldest son!
But why, when the first emperor summoned him, he chose to summon Liu Jing, the second son who was only a commoner, but not the eldest son who inherited the title! "

Yang Shiqi thought for a while and said,
"Your Majesty does not know that this Liu Jing is talented and intelligent, and his talent is not inferior to Naifu's at all. He won the title of young genius at a young age. Not only is he talented in poetry and books, but no one in his generation can compare.

He even got his father's true biography, and he is also very proficient in medicine, divination, astrology, and military strategy.

In contrast, Uncle Chengyi's eldest son was a little bit inferior. Although he was quite talented, he still couldn't compare with Naidi. In addition, he was only 32 years old when he accidentally fell into a well and died.

So when the first emperor bestowed favor on everyone, it was his second son's turn. "

Li Tian sneered for a while,
"I'm afraid it's not that simple to fall into a well and die!"

Yang Shiqi bowed his head and remained silent, admitting it.

Li Tian didn't continue to ask, since the injustice had already been dealt decades ago, he didn't care about such an extra sum.

"Sincerity Bo Tian is a genius, and his son is also one in a million. With such a bloodline, the grandson he will surely give birth to will be one of the most handsome in the world!
The guy who was able to set up such a perfect overall situation and almost stumbled me is really extraordinary, and I want to see this lifelong enemy even more with my own eyes! "

Yang Shiqi was helpless and worried when he heard Li Tian praise this rebellious minister and traitor so much, and even regarded him as a rare enemy in his life!

Helplessly, he has no way to control what Li Tian has determined. What worries him is that if such a dangerous person is left outside, he may cause much turmoil to the court in the future.

He really wanted to catch this guy as soon as possible, but it's a pity that this guy can even count on someone as wise and powerful as His Majesty, and his few pounds and taels are not enough for him.

I can only sigh for this, and want to participate is also powerless.

Seeing that Li Tian's fighting spirit was so high, he didn't want to dampen Li Tian's interest, so he added,

"According to those who took refuge in the former emperor, at the beginning of Jingnan, when Liu Jing heard the news, he rushed to the capital at Xingye and offered sixteen strategies for the Northern Expedition one after another. , they did not adopt.

Although he was finally given the title of Counselor of the Northern Expedition Army to assist Li Jinglong, but in the end he failed because of destiny. "

"Afterwards, the first emperor once said in private that if Emperor Jianwen had adopted Liu Jing's strategy in its entirety, the final outcome is still unknown.

That's why the first emperor had a heart for his talents at that time, and wanted him to abandon his darkness and turn to the light, and continue to work for Daming, but unfortunately he finally walked that road of no return!

What a pity! "

Li Tian listened with great interest. These things were all related to Zhu Dihei's history, not to mention that there were no records in the daily notes, and even the official history did not have any records.

It was even more impossible for Zhu Gaochi, who was a kid at the time, to know these secrets.

Unexpectedly, Daming, which is less than a hundred years old since its founding, still hides so many secrets that no one knows.

If it weren't for Yang Shiqi's live dictionary, even if he wanted to smash his head and rummaged through all the historical materials, he still wouldn't be able to find any information related to Mr. Liu.

"It's really a pity. It's a pity that such outstanding figures can appear in three generations of the Liu family, but they can't be used by the court!"

Seeing that Li Tian seemed to be in a good mood, Yang Shiqi suggested,

"Since Your Majesty loves the talents of the Liu family so much, why don't you recruit the Liu family to continue serving as officials in the court!"

Li Tian said curiously,

"Oh? Could it be that the Liu family has other descendants besides the so-called Mr. Liu?"

"Of course, in the 30th year of Hongwu, the eldest grandson of Bo Chengyi, thanks to Liu Jing's humility, was able to inherit the title of Bo Chengyi, and was granted the title of Doctor Guanglu. His wife was also named Madam.

But later, because he didn't want to be an official in the court, he resigned all his official positions and returned to his hometown to work on books. In a fit of anger, Taizu gave up his title! "

"Although he is no longer here at this time, I heard that he is still passed down by descendants. If your majesty still intends to ease the conflict with the Liu family, you might as well return the title of Duke Chengyi to the Liu family again!"

Li Tian thought for a while, but he also thought it was a good idea.

There are actually two advantages to doing this. First, the previous generations of the Liu family were miserable by Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang.

The second is that Mr. Liu, who is making trouble, is elusive, and he doesn't know when he can be caught.

If Li Tian rewarded Liu's family in a big way at this time, it would not only upset him, but also break down the gap between him and those nobles in Nanjing who were plotting evil.

Even if he has an astonishing talent, he can't show it to his heart's content.

This move seems to be just an idle move, but in fact it is the most important thing, and it has infinite effects!
"Miao, Shi Qi, your idea is great. Anyway, as long as the Liu family accepts this reward, then the Liu family will never stand on the side of Mr. Liu for the sake of wealth and honor. Maybe in order to keep wealth, Will sell him!

It's a multi-tasking feat! "

"Let Shi Qi handle this matter yourself, find someone who is smarter to pass the decree, and be sure to explain clearly to them about drawing a clear line!"

Yang Shiqi's old face stretched out, he smiled knowingly, and sighed in his heart, the busy work of this night has finally become a meaningful thing, and the Liu family can keep it!
"When, when, when!"

The clapper rang in the middle of the night, and Li Tian was too sleepy. He still wanted to take another look at the third lady before going to sleep, so he hurriedly kicked Yang Shiqi out.
