Chapter Eighty-Six: Are You Talking to Me About Conditions?
Seeing Zhu Yuning leave, Li Jie also sighed a little, this may be the first time they meet, and it is also the last time they meet before marriage, and the next time they meet, I am afraid that they can only wait until the wedding night.
"Hey! What type of man does your sister like? Li Jie touched Zhu Yunxi next to him with his elbow and asked in a low voice.
"How do I know that?" Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jiedao speechlessly.
"Inquire for me!" Li Jie said again, as a brother-in-law, he immediately felt different when he talked to his brother-in-law.
"You and my sister are already engaged, what are you doing with all this?" Zhu Yunxi was a little puzzled.
"It's because I'm engaged that I have to inquire clearly, marriage is not the end, but a beginning, I want to cultivate more feelings with your sister, so that the future married life will be more satisfying, do you want to see our relationship after marriage is not in harmony, quarreling every day?" Li Jie said again confidently.
"This ...... All right! Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to agree.
"By the way, how is the training of the officials on the household side, and when does the imperial court plan to promote the new algorithm?" After chatting about private matters, Li Jie finally thought of a serious matter.
"It's almost over, those officials have a foundation in arithmetic, and it is very easy to learn new algorithms, and now they have begun to practice with some old accounts, as for when to promote, it depends on the meaning of the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Yunxi replied.
said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Zhu Yunxi's words fell, he saw a eunuch rushing over, and when he saw Li Jie, he immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty summoned Li to read!" ”
Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to see him again, Li Jie was also a little surprised, and immediately said goodbye to Zhu Yunxi, he also followed the eunuch to the warm pavilion, and when he entered the room, he was surprised to find that Zhu Yuanzhang did not sit there to review the folds, but stood in front of the window with a solemn expression, looking into the distance, as if he was pondering something?
"See Your Majesty!" Li Jie stepped forward and saluted.
Li Jie's voice also interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's contemplation, I saw him turn around, his eyes looking at Li Jie were also a little complicated, and his expression was also a little trance, as if he thought of something from Li Jie, and after a while, he regained his usual calm and said, "Have you seen Yuning?" ”
"I've seen it!" Li Jie was shocked, although Zhu Yuning came to see him with Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, but the two of them had just separated, and Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the news, and Jinyiwei's intelligence ability was too terrifying.
"What did you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
"The princess asked me why I wanted to marry her, and I answered truthfully, and the other thing was to talk about the emperor and grandson." Li Jie replied honestly, although there were only the two of them in the room at that time, and Zhu Yunxi was still guarding the door in person, he was not sure whether Zhu Yuanzhang had sent someone to eavesdrop on him now?
Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal after hearing this, he stepped back to the bookcase and sat down, and then picked up the notebook and read it, Li Jie wanted to ask the other party what was the matter with calling him, but in this case, he didn't dare to speak, after all, Lao Zhu is not Zhu Biao, and he must be cautious and cautious when eating under a moody person like him.
However, Li Jie didn't wait too long, and soon heard that someone had entered the warm pavilion again, and when Li Jie turned his head to look, he was surprised to find that it was Tang He who had visited him before, and he saw that the old man's face was ruddy, and his complexion was better than when he ate beef that day.
"Your Majesty!" After Tang He came in, he winked at Li Jie, and then saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Sit down!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the seat next to him without raising his head, Tang He was not polite, and sat directly on the chair, in contrast, Li Jie, the quasi-grandson-in-law, could only stand.
Lao Zhu finished reading the notebook in his hand, and then raised his head and looked at Tang He and Li Jie and said, "You all know about the Japanese in the south, right?" ”
"The minister knows that these gangs really deserve to be killed, and those who have fornications with them are even more hateful, is Your Majesty going to send troops to eliminate them?" Tang He said directly, but Li Jie next to him frowned, the problem of the Japanese Kou is very complicated, and it is definitely not something that can be solved by force alone.
"A group of small widows have actually disturbed the peace along the coast of our Ming Dynasty, and they have sent troops to clean up many times before, but they have still worked to no avail, so I want to send a competent minister to inspect the coast, wait until the coastal situation is clear, and then make some countermeasures according to the situation!" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment before speaking.
He also realized that it was difficult to completely solve the problem of the Japanese invaders by force, and there must be a reason for the continuous chaos in the coastal areas, and although Zhu Yuanzhang could collect a lot of intelligence by relying on Jinyiwei, he did not see it with his own eyes after all, so he did not know much about the local situation, and naturally he could not make the right decision.
"Then Your Majesty means to ......" Tang He also blinked when he heard this, and then looked at Li Jie next to him, Zhu Yuanzhang's intention seemed to be very clear.
"Although you are old, I trust you the most, so this time you will take a trip for me, and Li Jie will be your deputy, and you will help me completely solve the problem of the widows!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally said the purpose of summoning them.
However, Li Jie heard this, but his heart was terrified, if history has not changed, Zhu Yuanzhang will soon do something to Li Shanchang, and he finally became a concubine, but Lao Zhu suddenly sent himself to the coast to inspect the problem of the Japanese Kou, this method is simply too familiar, at the beginning, Lao Zhu used the method of counting the internal money to support Zhu Biao, and now the same method is used on himself.
"I want to go!" Tang He agreed very simply, he pretended to be sick during this time, just because he had a premonition that something big would happen in the capital, and now His Majesty sent him out, it was simply a chance to give him a chance to go out to avoid trouble, if he didn't want to go, he would be a fool!
However, what Tang He didn't expect was that after he agreed, Li Jie would make a statement next, but he waited and waited, but Li Jie next to him did not move, but lowered his head and showed a contemplative expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face also sank at this time, and his voice was a little gloomy and asked, "Li Jie, why don't you make a sound, don't you want to go?" ”
I saw that Li Jie also had a tangled look on his face, and finally stepped forward with a firm expression and said: "Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, your parents are here, you are not far away, and the minister is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty, but I also hope that Your Majesty will take care of your minister's parents on your behalf!" ”
As soon as Li Jie's words came out, Tang He's face next to him turned pale with fright, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face was even more pale, and his two eyes stared at him like knives, but Li Jie was unmoved, and stood there with a solemn expression.
Of course, Li Jie is willing to help Zhu Yuanzhang solve the problem of the Japanese Invaders, but now there is another question, that is, if he leaves, if Zhu Yuanzhang does something to Li Shanchang, will Li Jie's parents and family be implicated? After all, his father is Li Shanchang's own son.
If Li Jie is in the capital, he can also mediate from it, Li Shanchang's family can't be saved, but at least he can save the lives of his parents and family, but if he is not in the capital, Lao Zhu will directly kill his parents and family, and he will not have time to cry at that time.
Similar things Lao Zhu has done a lot, such as Hu Dahai, the Yue Guogong that Li Jie is very familiar with, his son was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, but he still reused Hu Dahai, Hu Dahai did not rebel because of his son, and there is also Fang Xiaoru, his father was also involved in the "empty seal case" and was killed, but Zhu Yuanzhang still left him to his grandson.
As the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, even if the emperor kills your children and parents, you still have to be loyal to the emperor and do things.
However, Li Jie is not Hu Dahai, and he never takes things like monarchs and ministers in his eyes, so he decided to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for a guarantee before leaving, guaranteeing that no matter what happens to Li Shanchang, his family will not be implicated.
"You're talking to me about conditions?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly with his eyes wide, the soup and cold sweat next to him came down, because he was too familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as the other party stared, he would definitely kill someone next.
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just wants the family to be safe!" Li Jie said again with a calm expression, if he can't save his family, I'm afraid he will live in regret for the rest of his life, it's better to die than to live, it's better to fight now!
