As soon as Yao Guangqi entered the yard, he immediately swept the whole yard, this is a very delicate yard, east and west two bays, north and south only one in, in addition to the narrow, zigzag path, planted with all kinds of known and unrecognized flowers and plants, fragrant grass, green trees, flowers and red leaves are not beautiful, as soon as he entered this yard, Yao Guangqi immediately felt extremely comfortable and comfortable, and his depressed mood seemed to be relieved a lot.

The most conspicuous thing in the small courtyard is a small pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, and in the small pavilion, a young man is bowing his head and reading very seriously, so serious that he has not noticed anyone coming in the small courtyard. Yao Guangqi judged that this young man should be the master here, the person Li Wenzhong wanted to send to him.

This person is Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, who has been named King of Yan and will go to Beiping this year to take up the domain. At this time, Zhu Di was facing a problem, a problem that had plagued him for many days. However, he must find the answer to this question before leaving Beijing, and it is the most beneficial answer for himself, not only to make his father suspicious or dissatisfied, but also to strive for the greatest interests for himself.

Writing this, readers, do you think that I am going to write about the old routine of father and son suspicion and power struggle? This kind of subject matter has been written countless times, isn't it still the emperor's tricks and power strife? If that's what you think, then I would like to solemnly say: Congratulations, you guessed it! In view of the fact that there can only be one actual controlling major shareholder of Daming Holding Group, but there may be more than one candidate, of course, how many candidates will appear, it all depends on the character of the current controlling major shareholder, although the emperor's sexual orientation of the old Zhu family is normal (at least on the surface), but some of them have heavier tastes, such as those who like mature women, like Wan Guifei, but the emperors of the Zhu family are not very lustful, and there are also those who like animals, and even those who like to do carpenter work, These have all become factors affecting the number of the next generation of the Zhu family; In addition, other factors that determine the number of candidates include: physical condition (the main indicators are kidney function, male reproductive tadpole survival rate, etc.), longevity (also a kind of physical condition, because some emperors are really short-lived, short lifespan means that some concubines have no chance to be shot, so list this item separately), efficiency (some emperors like to shake it, and a random palace maid will give birth to the next emperor with a random shot), hit rate (refer to the previous item, but some princes who have produced results at one time have no chance to succeed to the throne), There are also the quality of beauties (although some beauties are favored, but the results are not significant, such as Wan Guifei or Li Xuanzhi), medical level (one of the important is reflected in the medicine, some emperors like to take drugs, but knock the medicine, Hi Dafa will go directly to the Buddha, such as the red pill case, which verifies a classic advertising slogan, don't look at the advertisement, look at the curative effect). In short, in view of the scarcity, uniqueness and exclusivity of major shareholders, coupled with the huge benefits that can be expected by peripheral personnel such as the parent party and the betting party, so in the struggle for the controlling stake of the group, the competition among the candidates is extremely fierce.

accidentally wrote so many digressions, let's go back to the story, Li Jinglong saw that Zhu Di was only looking down to read, and he didn't notice himself at all, so he deliberately coughed loudly. Zhu Di raised his head and noticed that people had already entered the courtyard, Li Jinglong was one of the few who could enter the courtyard at any time, but there was a bald little monk next to Li Jinglong, this little monk was not very old, but his head was huge, and it was impressive at first glance.

Li Jinglong had already learned from the servant that Zhu Di was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't joke with Zhu Di, but went straight to the point: "I'm here to recommend someone to you, haven't you always wanted to find a scholar to accompany you?" This child is talented, smart and smart, and it is the most suitable to be your reading boy. ”

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangqi again, tightened his nose, and frowned again: "Is it just him?" Why is it so talented? A prodigy with a chapter of exports? ”

In the face of the other party's questioning, Yao Guangqi knew that the identity of the person in front of him was not ordinary, so he did not rush to open his mouth to defend himself, but carefully observed Zhu Di's expression.

Li Jinglong asked Zhu Di rhetorically: "You are very different today, and you have troubles." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Li Jinglong and sighed: "It's okay to tell you." Five days ago, my father summoned me and said that I was about to leave Beijing, and that Beiping was an important town, and that I was sent to guard against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and to share the worries of the community, so he considered sending me more soldiers and asked me how many soldiers I wanted, and I could ask for it myself. I'm very embarrassed now, the other vassal kings only have one guard and two guards, and in the past few days, I haven't thought about how many soldiers I should ask my father and emperor. ”

Li Jinglong understood that Zhu Di had great ambitions, and naturally wanted to have as many soldiers under his command as possible. But if there are more soldiers, I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious, and if there are few, I will feel panicked. Although this is a rare opportunity, if you don't grasp the balance well, it will be a bad thing, so Zhu Di is here alone to worry. Thinking about it, Li Jinglong said: "This is a big deal, we must think about it in the long run, and we can't say it rashly." ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Think about it in the long run? I don't have time to think about it in the long run, my father will say it before he leaves Beijing, and I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity after that. ”

This sentence made Li Jinglong embarrassed, he didn't know what to say, and his head quickly pondered countermeasures. Zhu Di also frowned and didn't speak, and the courtyard fell silent again.

Suddenly, Yao Guangqi opened his mouth: "I have a way, you might as well talk to the emperor." ”

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Yao Guangqi with disbelieving, "Do you have a way?" Say it, the method is good, and this king has a heavy reward. ”

Yao Guangqi had already judged from the conversation between this person and Li Jinglong that this person was King Yan, seeing that Zhu Di was so concerned, he touched the back of his head, and then touched it back and forth twice on his bald head, and then said: "I don't want a reward, just avenge my adoptive father." ”

Zhu Di frowned, this little monk actually told himself about the conditions, if he wanted to change to weekdays, Zhu Di would be angry on the spot, but since Li Jinglong said that he was a genius, and this kid himself was so sure, he made up his mind, you might as well listen to this kid's method first: "Okay, as long as your idea is good, your grievances will be wrapped up in me." ”

Yao Guangqi said: "Other vassal kings have two guards to guard, so you need three guards. He smiled.
