Chapter 525: People Always Change
Hu Ye returned to Nanjing, this is Nanjing after a month's absence, when he saw the Qinhuai River, he actually had some impulse to cry, he found that he had never missed Nanjing so much.
This month was the most difficult day for him, even more difficult than the days when he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he was afraid that if he died, he would never see Xiaoqiang again, and he would never see Yingxue again.
But God seemed to be helping him, and Yan returned to the last moment, so he survived, and he returned to Nanjing alive.
He didn't go to see Zhu Di immediately, but came to Qingtian Street.
Seeing the same Qingtian Street as before, Hu Ye's heart was surging, and it was even more refreshing than Qinhuai River.
Now Qingtian Street is heavily guarded, and you have to check when you enter and exit.
So Zhang Fu told Hu Ye about Huang Yu and Qi Song, and Hu Ye understood, but this is not a matter after all, and the matter of these two people must be solved.
Those soldiers didn't know Hu Ye, but they knew Zhang Fu, and they didn't dare to offend those who could make Zhang Fu greet him with a smile, so Hu Ye swaggered into Qingtian Street.
The people of Qingtian Street hadn't seen Hu Ye for a month, and when they suddenly saw Hu Ye, they realized that they hadn't seen Hu Ye for a long time, and they came up to say hello with a smile, very enthusiastic.
After sending Hu Ye back to Qingtian Street, Zhang Fu was leaving, his task was to bring Hu Ye back, and now he was going to report to Zhu Di, and he had mobilized 100,000 horses privately, so he had to give Zhu Di an explanation.
After expressing his gratitude to those people, Hu Ye came to the academy, and looking at the academy that was still crowded, Hu Ye relieved himself, this academy has condensed too much of his hard work, and it can be compared with the nameless mansion.
The first to discover Hu Ye was the old man who swept the floor, and after looking up at Hu Ye. It's like looking at a stranger, and the person continues to bow his head and sweep the floor, as usual, not a single fallen leaf is swept away.
The corners of Hu Ye's mouth twitched, we are also a dean, can we not ignore ourselves so much?
The second one who found out Hu Ye was the public losing himself, after this old thing went to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain last time, he was a little worried about Hu Ye, he understood Xiaoqiang's status in Hu Ye's heart. If Hu Ye was still alive, he would definitely go to save Xiaoqiang. But even he couldn't get Xiaoqiang back from Wang Kunshan's hands. How can Hu Ye do it?
And now that Xiaoqiang is completely following Hu Ye, it means that what he can't do, Hu Ye has done.
"Boy, how did you bring it back?" Gong Yi asked Hu Ye curiously, he wanted to know Hu Ye's method.
Hu Ye smiled, and then said, "Isn't this simple?" I went up and asked for it, but they wouldn't give it, so I grabbed it. After I robbed them, they came to rob them, so I destroyed them and left no one behind. lest they bring evil to the world. ”
"What! You destroyed them all? Are you alone? "I almost jumped up.
"How is that possible? Boy, I am just a powerless person, but I used an army of 100,000 to accidentally burn the East Tianmu Mountain, and as a result, they ran all the way. Then they accidentally hit the muzzle of my gun, and I sent them to hell. ”
Hu Ye shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
The corners of his mouth twitched. I finally saw a brand-new Hu Ye, who killed hundreds of other people, and was still so calm and light, and this trip was caught, which really changed a lot.
In the square of the academy, there are still Tongtian rats and a group of rats reading, but now that they have learned to enjoy themselves, the students have built a pergola for them, which has become a major attraction of the academy.
Now Xiaoqiang no longer bullies the Babel Mouse, because it has already seen that the time of the Babel Rat is running out, and it is a miracle that he can live until now.
Seeing that Hu Ye was back, Tongtian Rat took the group of rats and waved his paws at Hu Ye, which could be regarded as a sign of welcome.
Hu Ye looked at the old appearance of the Tongtian Mouse, smiled and waved his hand.
After that, Hu Ye went to meet the rest of the old men, Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian were not a little excited about Hu Ye's return, but blamed Hu Ye for not bringing them good things back this time. However, when Lou Ying was leaving, she stopped Hu Ye, checked Hu Ye's pulse, and then prescribed a prescription for Hu Ye, saying that he would let Hu Ye decoction every day, and he couldn't break it for at least a year.
"Lao Lou, you prescribe that recipe for that kid, aren't you afraid to make up for him to death?" After Hu Ye left, Xiao Jiuxian asked Lou Ying curiously.
"That kid must have suffered a lot when he went out this time, although he couldn't see it on the surface, but his pulse was a little disordered, and it was a fundamental injury, leaving sequelae. If you don't make it up now, I'm afraid there will be big problems in the future. After Lou Ying finished speaking, he continued to fiddle with his medicinal herbs.
Hu Ye took that prescription, a little strange, how could Lou Ying suddenly prescribe medicine for herself? However, recalling that in the past few days during the march, there would always be labor pains in the body in the middle of the night, and it was very likely that it was the sequelae left on the East Heavenly Eye.
No matter what, Lou Ying's house is a good thing after all, let's drink it for a few days first.
After Hu Ye met Li Yuanshan, this old pedant was dying, especially when he learned some things about Hu Ye, he ate less and less, so that now, he can only rely on two mouthfuls of porridge to survive.
Guarding Li Yuanshan's house were Lu Xun and Sun Hang, who knelt in front of Li Yuanshan.
Because Li Yuanshan has always taught them to be loyal and patriotic, but what they did made Li Yuanshan feel sad, so they wanted to ask Li Yuanshan for forgiveness.
Hu Ye came in, let the two of them go out, and if they wanted to untie Li Yuanshan's knot, they had to come by themselves.
"Master."
Hu Ye bowed to Li Yuanshan, but Li Yuanshan said goodbye, saying that he did not accept his salute.
As early as when Zhu Di entered the city, Li Yuanshan was ready to go to the trouble with Huangyu Qi Song to show his loyalty to the king. But the development of things was different from what he imagined, Huang Yu and Qi Song were fine, but Hu Ye was missing, he had already guessed at that time, Hu Ye was Zhu Di's undercover agent from the beginning, otherwise Zhu Di would not have committed any offense against the academy.
That is, from that day on, Li Yuanshan was seriously ill.
He was worried, the academy could be said to be run by him, and after four years, it had become what it is today, but now he had to work for Zhu Di. Serving a man who plots to usurp the throne, as an old pedant, he has a very bad feeling.
"Do you know to come back? Don't you enjoy your glory and wealth in the court? Li Yuanshan coughed and said coldly to Hu Ye.
"Master Li, I, Hu Ye, am not for glory and wealth, otherwise at least half of the wealth in the world is surnamed Hu." Hu Ye said slowly.
"Then why did you establish the Qingtian Academy? Why be complicit in a traitor? Why don't you defend the dynasty? Li Yuanshan said angrily.
"Master Li, I established Qingtian Academy just to pass on the knowledge I have mastered to more people. I also want to cultivate some talents for the Ming Dynasty. As for you saying that I am complicit in the traitors? The kid didn't think so. Hu Ye came to Li Yuanshan's bedside, and then said, "Tang Taizong can be said to be the first emperor of the ages, but outside the Xuanwu Sect, how did he do it?" Song Taizu can be described as a hero, why is he in a yellow robe? ”
"Ridiculous! Do you want to compare Zhu Di with Tang Zong and Song Zu? He has that qualification! ”
Li Yuanshan listened to Hu Ye's debate, and was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Master Li, don't get excited, the kid is just Chen saying a fact. Dare to ask Jianwen has been in power for four years, can there be big changes in the Ming Dynasty? Except that there are a lot of useless copper coins in the hands of the people. What did the people get? Tax deductions? Do you ask if taxes have increased or decreased over the past few years? ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for your collusion with Zhu Di, there would have been no battle of appeasement. How can the people live in dire straits? Li Yuanshan said.
"Then dare to ask Master Li, if Jianwen continues to be the emperor, do you think he will become a first-generation hero like Emperor Taizu?" Hu Ye asked rhetorically.
"I don't dare to guarantee that he will become a hero, but he is definitely a benevolent lord." Li Yuanshan retorted.
"Master Li. Did you know that the Ming Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides? There are Koreans and Japanese in the east, and Annam in the south. There is Mongolia in the north, and there are big cannibals in the west, when Taizu died, they wanted to besiege the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese invaded Quanzhou, and the master also knew about it, right? Annan's regime has now changed, and a more ambitious person is in power, do you think he will still submit to the Ming Dynasty? There is a man named Timur the Cripple in the west, who killed the envoy of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago and openly declared war on the Ming Dynasty. But the cripple Timur is not a person who is content with the status quo, the Ming Dynasty will not fight him, he will come to attack the Ming Dynasty, and Ili Hami is the target he desires. ”
"Does the master still think that the Ming Dynasty is a time to live and work in peace and contentment? At this time, the Ming Dynasty needed a benevolent lord? What if the cripple Timur called? Hit back? Or do nothing? Hu Ye said loudly to Li Yuanshan.
Li Yuanshan listened to Hu Ye's words, but he didn't know what to say.
"Are you sure he's a Mingjun? His brutality, won't he become a tyrant? ”
"Master Li, what the Ming Dynasty needs now is a brutal king, otherwise how to deal with strong enemies on all sides?"
"Do you dare to guarantee that he will do better than Jianwen?"
"Master, don't worry, if he is the emperor, the Ming Dynasty will only become more powerful than ever, and the strong enemies on all sides will only bow down to their vassals, and the lives of the people will become rich and beautiful."
"Is that your promise to me?" Li Yuanshan's eyes darkened, and he asked in a low voice.
"Yes, this is my promise to you, one day, you will see a completely different Ming Dynasty."
"Boy, you've changed." Li Yuanshan smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Master, people always change."
"No, the old man will not change." Li Yuanshan closed his eyes, and then said, "After I die, bury me in the back mountain of the academy, I don't care about anything else, I just want to look at the academy, if you lead the academy astray, the old man will not let you go." (To be continued......)
