Chapter 512: Liu Song Unexpectedly Fell as Well
"What did you say!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up violently and roared angrily.
Liu Ji seemed to have known for a long time what kind of reaction His Majesty the Emperor would have as long as his words were spoken.
So after finishing speaking, he quickly lowered his head, like an ostrich, and didn't dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang's angry roar ended that Liu Ji cautiously raised his head: "Back to Your Majesty, the imperial court is in charge."
As soon as the words fell, a wine glass quickly enlarged in front of Liu Ji.
If it is replaced by Liu Song, there is a high probability that he will not hide at all, and he will be smashed like this.
However, Liu Ji is not Liu Song, and subconsciously turned his head to the side and dodged the flying wine glass.
The glass skimmed over his face and smashed to the ground.
However, although the wine glass was hidden, the wine inside still sprinkled Liu Ji's face all over his body.
Although Liu Ji is not the kind of old-fashioned person, he doesn't dare to wipe it at this time.
Just honestly kneeling there.
Lao Zhu gritted his teeth: "Use the money of the imperial court to help you people enjoy."
"Liu Ji, Liu Ji, why didn't I see it before, you are so smart?"
"But you're right, this is your blatant spending the court's money, and it is indeed not considered corruption and bribery."
In the last sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang said gritting his teeth.
That look, as if he wanted to bite Liu Ji one bite at a time.
Although Liu Ji could predict that Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction would not be too small, he didn't expect Lao Zhu's reaction to be so big.
Even if it is a person like him, who is used to seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, he also feels a burst of heartbeat.
It looks like it's going to blow up.
It's no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang is so angry.
These ministers, to put it bluntly, are just working for him.
A group of migrant workers, spending the boss's money, book high-end hotels for themselves every day, and eat meals from five-star chefs.
As the boss of the company, Zhu Yuanzhang is not angry, it is strange.
As far as Liu Ji's food standard is concerned, it is not much different from him, the emperor.
"Hello, you are really my good courtiers." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little short of words for a while.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry, Liu Ji was a little afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be angry, so he hurriedly continued to explain: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, this is really the meaning of His Royal Highness the King of England, at first the minister did not agree, but His Royal Highness insisted on it, so the minister had to reluctantly agree."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "I really didn't see that you Liu Ji turned out to be such an upright person."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang swept the surrounding environment.
It's just a restaurant, and it's already luxuriously equipped.
The palace where he lived in Yingtianfu was not much stronger than Liu Ji's here.
The only difference is that there are no dragons and phoenixes here.
Although the building is very good, there is nothing beyond the rules at all.
Obviously, when arranging, "professionals" have already been consulted.
Others may think that Liu Ji has a heart, and he does not dare to overstep the rules.
But Lao Zhu felt that Liu Ji and the bastards were simply deliberate.
It's just stepping on that red line, jumping on the edge of not being able to get there.
I want to annoy him, but I can't do anything.
The ridicule on Zhu Yuanzhang's face was obvious not to be wanted.
Liu Ji naturally knew that his character was in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was not convincing.
So, I quickly moved out another person with an extremely strong character.
Liu Song!
"Your Majesty, this is really not something that the minister himself can decide, this matter, Lord Liu Song and Lord Liu are equally clear......"
While speaking, Liu Ji secretly observed Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
found that Lao Zhu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The terrifying pressure made Liu Ji a little breathless.
Therefore, in order to share the pressure, Liu Ji decisively sold Liu Song.
"Your Majesty, what Weichen said is true, this matter is indeed promised by Lord Liu Song and Lord Liu personally."
"Moreover, the treatment of Lord Liu Song and Lord Liu is also the best among all our Yanjing officials."
"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was really shocked this time.
If it was someone else who was corrupted by this benefit, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be too surprised.
But Liu Song, why did it become like this?
If Zhu Yuanzhang is asked to select a few capable ministers and officials above the entire court, Zhu Yuanzhang will be able to jump out a lot at once.
Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Liu Ji and so on.
However, if Zhu Yuanzhang is asked to elect an official above the court that she thinks is the most upright, it is absolutely impossible to have anything to do with corruption and bribery.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Liu Song was the only one.
This is not Zhu Yuanzhang's election based solely on his feelings for an official.
Lao Zhu has inspected Liu Song more than once.
When there was no Jinyi guard before, Zhu Yuanzhang once sent his guards to see Liu Song.
Even, he personally paid a private visit to Liu Song's house and observed it near his home.
After the establishment of Jinyiwei, Lao Zhu of course also sent Jinyiwei to investigate all the information related to Liu Song in detail.
He can be completely sure that Liu Song is indeed no problem.
After all, all the things in this world can't escape the word serious.
No matter how good a person is, he can't stand to look carefully with a magnifying glass.
And Liu Song is such a guy, even if he stares at him from head to toe with a magnifying glass, he can't see any problems.
Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, someone dared to say that he was not good or bad in front of him every day, and he would have been clicked by him a long time ago.
We are Zhu Yuanzhang, who established the Ming Dynasty step by step from asking for food, and dare to point fingers at us, why are you not the emperor?
Only Liu Song and Zhu Yuanzhang can barely tolerate it.
Because, this guy really doesn't have any selfish intentions.
But Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that Liu Song, a guy, would also rebel into a corrupt official.
Lao Zhu's mood at this time is simply complicated, don't want it.
"What you say is true." After Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he found that his voice was dumb.
The words have been spoken, and Liu Ji naturally can't change his words.
hurriedly swore and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true."
"Liu Ji's mansion is not far from the minister's house, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the minister can take Your Majesty over now."
Liu Ji is not that kind of person, and he must drag a person into the water when he is dying.
One of the most important reasons why he instigated Zhu Yuanzhang so much was to let Zhu Yuanzhang listen to his explanation patiently.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart has been completely filled with anger.
He can't listen to anything now.
But Liu Ji believes that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang sees the situation on Liu Song's side.
I'm sure I'll be able to calm down soon.
With Liu Ji's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as he can understand the powerful relationship, His Majesty the Emperor's anger will definitely dissipate most of it.
"The relationship between you and Liu Song is very good, and you haven't forgotten him at this time." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered playfully.
Liu Ji didn't dare to continue to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.
Honestly keep your head down, don't dare to say more than half a word?
"What? Afraid that you will be wrong? Zhu Yuanzhang's mood is becoming more and more unbeautiful.
Good!
Since Liu Ji wanted to drag Liu Song into the water, Lao Zhu didn't mind burying one more.
It seems that he also misjudged Liu Song before, and thought that he was an official worthy of entrusting the society.
As a result, as soon as he left Ying Tianfu and left his side, this Liu Song was completely revealed.
Although he hasn't eaten a mouthful of food, Liu Ji doesn't feel hungry at all now.
Nonsense, life is almost gone, how many people can eat without heart and lungs at this time?
Immediately instruct the butler to set up the car and prepare for the trip.
When the carriage was ready, I saw the carriage pulled by two extremely handsome and pure white horses without a trace of stray hair.
and after the carriage, which was even more beautiful than the carriage he usually used, except that it was not overrun.
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and creaked.
According to what Liu Ji said, these things are all paid by the imperial court.
As long as he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but secretly scold Zhu Han in his heart.
Even if they sit in the world now, they can't fold like this.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth did not mention Zhu Han at all.
It's as if this matter is their own initiative by officials like Yanjing, and it has nothing to do with Zhu Han.
The distance between Liu Ji's mansion and Liu Song's mansion is really not very far.
took the carriage, but it took less than a stick of incense to arrive at Liu Song's mansion.
Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang just didn't say a word with a cold face.
But Liu Ji seems to be experiencing a ruthless storm.
Finally got out of the car, Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "Your carriage here in Yanjing is good, we don't have such a good carriage in Yingtianfu."
"These are all carriages made by our factory here in Yanjing, if Your Majesty wants it, just place an order with the factory in the name of the imperial court."
"On the factory side, the carriage will be made according to the grade of the officials and the rules of the imperial court, and it will definitely not violate the rules."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face is even darker, Liu Ji, a bastard, doesn't he know how to play with him and pretend to understand this?
This guy is really not afraid of death.
Turning his head, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw the gate of this mansion.
His brows were directly twisted.
When Liu Ji tried to involve Liu Song before, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little unconvinced.
After all, Liu Song's character accumulated for so many years is not something that can be easily shaken in three or two sentences.
But Zhu Yuanzhang understands that Liu Ji is not a fool.
If Liu Song hadn't participated, he wouldn't have been able and would never have dared to involve Liu Song.
Although there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that what Liu Ji said is true.
Until, I saw the huge courtyard wall of this mansion.
The courtyard wall alone is a lot taller than Liu Ji's courtyard wall.
The vermilion gate at the door also looks domineering.
The two words of Liu Mansion shining on the gate can be seen at a glance by a famous artist.
At least Liu Song definitely can't write such words.
Although the words are as they are, they are certainly not very accurate.
But in general, there is still some reference value.
Liu Song, if he is asked to write Zhang Xu and Wang Xizhi with wanton and chic words, it will be difficult for a strong man.
Since it was not written by Liu Song, and the level of calligraphy is so high, moisturizing the pen must be indispensable.
Then keep an account of the corrupt officials on the side of their eyes.
Lawlessness, what do they think of the imperial court? They have their own money bags, can they spend it however they want?
Feeling the increasingly cold air around him, Liu Ji was secretly relieved.
No matter how angry Lao Zhu is now, Liu Ji believes that as long as he sees the situation in Liu Song's house, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger will definitely be able to disappear a lot.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and call the door, is it difficult for us to go in person?"
Liu Ji didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly stepped forward and called the door.
Just knocked on the door a few times, a porter who was about the same age as Liu Song's mansion opened the door and poked his head out.
Finding that Liu Ji was in a posture of knocking on the door, he immediately asked suspiciously, "Lord Liu, why are you here?"
The porter really didn't understand why Liu Ji knocked on the door by himself, and his face was full of doubts.
Liu Ji didn't explain, but lowered his voice and said, "I'm here to meet Lord Liu Song Liu."
Although the porter felt that Liu Ji was a little strange this time.
However, the affairs between the big men have nothing to do with him, a small porter.
"Lord Liu, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform my family now."
"Why don't you come and sit with me first?"
Liu Ji secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, shook his head slowly, and said, "No need."
Just kidding, His Majesty is still here, so naturally he can't go in first.
After refusing, Liu Ji lowered his voice again and sternly warned: "Remember, no one can tell us about our coming today."
The porter nodded again and again: "Lord Liu, please rest assured, my mouth has always been very strict."
After a while, the person who went in to report came.
"Lord Liu, please for our family."
Liu Ji took Zhu Yuanzhang and followed the housekeeper into Liu Song's mansion.
Just entered Liu's mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be stunned.
It is different from the carved beams and painted buildings, and there are even several places where Liu Ji's mansion is being renovated.
Liu Song's mansion is so quiet that people are a little scared.
With such a layout, Zhu Yuanzhang can clearly see that there are many places in this house that look dilapidated
Although it is often cleaned, this yard is always clean.
But only clean remains, and the original pavilions and pavilions are visibly dilapidated.
The water in the pool had completely dried up, and it was all covered with green moss.
Many of the vegetation is overgrown because no one has taken care of it, and it is not at all beautiful.
I walked through the huge courtyard and came to the deepest part of the house.
There are also four or five houses here.
But in almost all houses, the window paper has rotted and is gone.
Plus in the yard, there are not even lanterns.
This scene looks extraordinarily infiltrating.
But Lao Zhu was spelled out in the sea of corpses and blood.
He didn't pay attention to this kind of small scene at all.
