Zhu Chen didn't believe this.

Mei Jie said gloomily: "After I was admitted to the middle school boyhood, the prefect thought that I had potential, so he sponsored me to study all the way, until I was admitted to the examination and fell off the list, and the prefect was sponsoring me." ”

"I can't help but repay him."

Zhu Chen said in a deep voice: "Even if you know that this is a major crime of rebellion? ”

"Yes!" Mei Jie said firmly.

Zhu Chen couldn't help but sigh a little for a while.

In this era, poor children can't afford to read, so they can only rely on the family, be strong, and stay until they finally become officials, and they also need to give back.

This Umesuke, typical, is of this type.

Of course, you can not give back, but as a result, Mei Jie will be pulled down by the prefect of Jinan, and decades of fame will be in vain!

In the long run, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was always co-opted by those few big families.

Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, the Zhedong Party, the Donglin Party, and various party disputes appeared, which directly led to the loneliness of the Ming Dynasty.

It turns out that this kind of prototype has already existed now.

Party strife, party strife, this dog thing is really harmful, and it is not shallow.

Even in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the party struggles are endless.

From this, Zhu Chen smelled the smell of dangerous party strife, and also smelled the prefect of Jinan, and there was a high probability that he had taken refuge in King Han.

If not, what does the prefect of Jinan want to do with iron?

Zhu Chen took a deep breath: "You don't regret it?" ”

Mei Jie shook his head: "I don't regret it, if I don't do this for him, decades of books will be in vain, my fame will be gone, I am alone, what do I have to regret." ”

After a pause, Mei Jie smiled miserably: "I also want to be a good official, but in this era, I am not allowed to be a clean official, and I am not allowed to have a cleaner existence than them in the world, they must defile you until you stand in the same boat." ”

"Then you're wrong." Zhu Chen shook his head.

Mei Jie looked at King Huai: "Why am I wrong?" ”

Zhu Chen said: "People who will not be defiled, never." ”

"There are Xu Lao, Yu Xuekui, Yang Shiqi and others in the past, and a person named Yu Qian will appear in the future, they are all alone and only live for the country."

"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people."

"Most of the scholars and doctors in the early Ming Dynasty were honest and honest, according to what you said, Xu Lao should not hit the wall and die."

Mei Jie's vision is getting darker and darker.

Zhu Chen continued to ask: "Do you know the unity of knowledge and action?" ”

Umesuke nodded.

Zhu Chen said: "I know that being an official must be honest and honest, why do you still want to do these things?" ”

Shaking his head, Zhu Chen said: "I won't say much to you, I will continue to transport iron to King Han in the future, but it can't be fine iron, it's broken iron." ”

"In this case, you will be counted as guilty of your sin."

Umesuke was silent.

He didn't know whether to agree to King Huai's words or not, but at the moment he seemed to have no choice.

Zhu Chen continued: "Who else is doing this with you, and who is manipulating it with you?" ”

Zhu Chen has his own purpose, and he still wants to force out that person.

Mei Jie said: "No. ”

Zhu Chen sneered and kicked over: "If you want to set up a memorial arch when you are framed, and you do black-hearted deeds, don't say that you are a Qing official." ”

"Speak up, who else is with you?"

Mei Jie gritted his teeth: "No." ”

Zhu Chen glanced at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei and the others immediately understood and dragged Mei Jie outside.

After a while, when Mei Jie was brought back again, he was already covered in blood.

This time, without Zhu Chen opening his mouth, Mei Jie himself was dying: "It's the prince of Han, he is with me." ”

Zhu Chen sneered: "Hmm." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Liu Wei and the others immediately sent Mei Jie back to his house.

Immediately afterwards, he followed Zhu Chen and quickly went to the Han Palace.

Even if the King of Han has already become a vassal, but the old man misses the old, and the Han Palaces here have never been left behind, but more palace maids have been sent over to clean up here.

Moreover, in the palace of the Han king, there is still a young man living.

Zhu Zhanyan.

When he came to the Han Palace, Zhu Chen looked at the plaque of the Han Palace, and his face was slightly emotional.

Then, he turned his head and instructed a few people behind him.

"Wait for me outside here, I'll go in and have a look." Zhu Chen said.

Liu Wei and the others also knew that King Huai was strong in martial arts, so they didn't follow anymore, but waited near the Han Wangfu.

Zhu Chen walked in alone.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, this should be a day of joy for every family.

It stands to reason that every household has to open the door to welcome the New Year, but only this Han Wangfu has a closed door, and I don't know what is going on inside.

Zhu Chen knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door was opened, and a head poked out of it: "Who?" ”

Zhu Chen looked at the subordinate and said, "King Huai." ”

The head was obviously slightly stunned, and there was a little more respect in his eyes.

This young man, now in Yingtianfu, no one knows it, no one knows it.

He is the second to be crowned king in addition to the founding prince Xu Da, and Xu Da died and was sealed, this young man is still alive.

This kind of thing was a miracle in the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, he is still the pioneer of the unity of knowledge and action, and he is also the famous Zhu case leader.

The subordinate hurriedly said: "It turned out to be King Huai, please come in, please come in." ”

Without saying a word, he immediately opened all the doors of the Han Palace, and respectfully greeted Zhu Chen in.

When Zhu Chen walked into the Han Palace, he looked left and right and found that it was sparsely populated.

Shouldn't this be the time to be busy?

"What about people?" Zhu Chen frowned.

There was some embarrassment on the man's face.

Zhu Chen said: "The king of Han is gone, but the prince is still here, I am here to find him." ”

"Shizi is still sleeping, or you can wait." That's humane.

Zhu Chen shook his head: "The old man recognizes me as his godgrandson and lets me be Zhu Zhanyan's eldest brother, then there is no reason for the eldest brother to wait for the younger brother." ”

"Get him up, I'll wait for him in the inner hall."

The man was immediately embarrassed, but he immediately shouted.

Zhu Chen was alone and came to the inner hall of the Han Palace, and as soon as he walked in, Zhu Chen's face changed slightly.

I saw a painting hanging on the inner hall.

In the picture, it is a five-clawed golden dragon driving the clouds and mist, and the heavens and the earth are beginning to open.

"Hehe, I'm pretty good at playing." Zhu Chen grinned.

It's kind of interesting.

This Han King actually dared to hang a painting of a five-clawed golden dragon at home.

I have to say that this courage is really big, and the ambition is also inflated to the point that everyone knows it.

However, King Han is indeed favored, and he has helped the old man fight for so many years, he hung a five-clawed golden dragon, and the old man endured it.

After sitting in the inner hall for a while, the subordinate hurriedly ran back to report: "King Yuhuai, our family said that he is sick and it is inconvenient to see guests. ”

Not easy to meet?

Zhu Chen smiled: "I'm here, will it be inconvenient?" ”

"I'm sick, and if I'm a big brother, I have to go and see it."

After saying that, Zhu Chen got up and walked directly in the direction where the next person had just gone.

The subordinate was behind, following closely, and he didn't dare to hold King Huai, so he could only plead in a low voice: "King Huai, give our son some face." ”

"You have already driven King Han to Le'an, why don't you let us go? Why don't you let go of the world? ”

"On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, will I give you a New Year's greeting on behalf of the prince?"

His words were full of grievances and sadness.
