Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 533: Lao Zhu's Doubts

Zhao Zheng understood Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's plan without even having to think about it.

If it were a normal situation, Lao Zhu could really get away with it, but unfortunately Zhao Zheng was not normal.

As for the bandits on the islands, if they were not separated by the vast ocean, not to mention Zhao Zheng, even Old Zhu would have been fed up with them a long time ago and would have dealt with them if he could have taken action. What is there to talk about specifically?

To be honest, during this period of time, Zhao Zheng has been very nice to each of his puppets, serving them with plenty of wine and meat. That's the real thing.

However, Prince Yan also managed to reply in time.

Li Jincai reported on the development progress of the southwest, which can be described as a very good situation.

Zhao Zheng just needed to increase the threat of the Zhao Mansion in Old Zhu's mind, continue to attract attention to the southwest, and try to give Li Jin more time to organize his troops.

Read it, read it, the less about me the better.

"..."

The fact was just as Zhao Zheng expected. Both the strategy and tactics in Wang Ban’s announcement were from the King of Yan.

It had nothing to do with the four puppets that followed him.

There was even no mention of his four puppets being destroyed and the shadow of the four islands being permanently stationed.

But it is a fact that the plan to wipe out the entire family came from the Zhao family, and I was the one who drew the map and built the ship.

Old Zhu, can you really stay calm?

At this time, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang on the high platform met Zhao Zheng's eyes, but to Zhao Zheng's surprise, he smiled and nodded at him.

Zhao Zheng couldn't have imagined that the emperor was in a very good mood at the moment.

As the dynasty grew stronger, Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel more at ease. Instead, he felt the burden on him grew heavier.

After all, there are too many lessons from the past, and his sons all have various faults but are full of martial virtues and ambitions.

It’s a lot of pressure.

Especially when he thought about himself a hundred years later, and the prince a hundred years later, it would be the generation of the crown prince's grandson.

Whose team is the one that is heading up? How many of them are still useful?

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was really unsure.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhao Zheng stood up again.

The vassal kings moved east and west, and the entire territory of the Sun and Moon Dynasty became the Central Plains.

He truly took over the world as his own territory and sent kings to garrison the nine borders.

In the blink of an eye, he only needs to wait to go to heaven with the Zhao family, and feel at ease that his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

The only thing that needed to be taken seriously was the railway project, but he was still alive and the prince was still young, so there was no need to be too anxious.

How this made him unhappy.

"Ok?"

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood today and had no intention of causing trouble for Zhao Zheng. However, he did not expect that when he smiled and nodded, the other party frowned.

Just when I felt annoyed and frowned, Zhao Zheng suddenly laughed.

What does it mean!

Can't you see me doing well?

All the civil and military officials in the court were also very happy. After all, the emperor was happy today, and what could be more wonderful than this in the world?

But who would have thought that he was smiling just now, but his expression changed immediately.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the emperor and Zhao Zheng were attracted to each other.

!!!

What does it mean.

Could it be that there was something bad in the victory report that they missed?

Especially for those officials in charge of the next process, they felt a chill in their hearts instantly.

That is a fixed item that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang added to the daily court meetings after Crown Prince Zhu Biao replied.

That is to sort out, discuss and study the various reasons that arose in the development of successive dynasties and led to their final demise.

The officials who were in charge of such matters were already very worried.

I am afraid that I won’t be able to find the answer; that the reason I find is too vague and seems like I’m just eating for free; that the reason I find is too real and doesn’t exist, etc.

Fortunately, there is a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in it.

"Your Majesty! The King of Yan has made great contributions, and one day is not enough to boast about it."

"The ant nest problem needs to be investigated immediately!"

This role model is naturally Fang Xiao.

Originally, he should have been a civil servant taken away by King Yan, but because of Zhao Zheng's influence, he stayed.

Only in his opinion, Zhao Zheng was an absolute role model for civil officials.

What's wrong with the emperor being in a bad mood? The moon still waxes and wanes every year, and it can't affect the time of day and night.

"Then let's start today's discussion."

This kind of thing could naturally have been done after the court meeting.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was also different from other emperors.

In his opinion, I have increased your salary, but what's the point of still doing the same amount of work as before?

Of course, he is not unaware that things have their urgency.

If there are important matters that need to be dealt with, you can report it directly at this time.

As long as you can explain it clearly, you can just finish the report and leave.

I'm sorry if you obviously have something important to do but don't tell others and it's delayed.

You won’t know until you try it. You’ll be surprised when you try it.

Except for a few important government offices, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that the officials in the capital were much more idle than he was.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, had to handle official business when he went out on tour.

Most of these officials in the capital are free every day and can finish all their affairs in half an hour at most.

The key is.

Most government offices don't seem to be affected at all without these people.

Okay, okay, they are all our loyal and capable men.

No wonder these people can completely take the blame when something bad happens.

It turns out they didn't do anything.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang felt ashamed when he thought about how he always liked to complain that the old Song Dynasty court was neglecting the important things and pursuing trivial matters, raising a bunch of unnecessary parasites in order to protect the country but not strengthening the military.

So this part can be said to be his favorite part in recent days.

While watching these ministers discussing seriously, he asked Erhu to investigate the government offices they were in charge of.

After court, I would eat a few more bowls of rice at mealtime.

"what?"

"Why doesn't this guy leave?"

As for his favorite part, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang certainly didn't want to skip it even though he was a little annoyed by Zhao Zheng's reaction.

As for the reading of Prince Yan's reply, it was his final warning out of compassion to those ministers who were found to have inaction.

After all, his sons have gone out to do practical work, so the next step is to thoroughly rectify the internal situation.

But these people don’t understand, so it’s not his fault.

What made Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's expression even more solemn at this moment was naturally Zhao Zheng.

In the past, Zhao Zheng didn’t have the time to do this and would leave when the time came, but now he stayed.

Of course, it was not just the emperor who noticed it, the other ministers also noticed it.

It’s finished, it’s finished!

Many ministers, who already felt that the weather was a bit chilly today, became extremely nervous.

"Lord Zhao, please don't keep the students waiting."

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang never doubted anything Zhao Zheng reported.

Because there was no need for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, if the students from the Academy of Human Sciences didn't see Zhao Zheng one day, they would come all the way to the palace to ask about it.

During this period, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also had the chance to indulge in the experience of an old farmer identifying the five grains.

He even expanded his own small vegetable garden and added a few greenhouses.

So he could still laugh at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I recently heard a folk story from the students."
