After returning to the house, Liu Ji called the housekeeper over for the first time, and first expressed his displeasure.

Then he instructed the housekeeper: "Those who don't know are not guilty, you have not been with me for a long time, and I don't know the relationship between Mr. Chang and me."

"So this time, I won't punish you either."

"Now, immediately change Mr. Chang to the best guest room in our house."

If you want to say that the subordinates in Liu Ji's mansion are also quite good.

Whether it's a doorman or a housekeeper, there really isn't anyone who looks down on people.

Although the identity of Lao Zhu Ming on his face is just a distant relative of Chang Yuchun.

Such relatives, let alone the Guogong Mansion, which one of them is one hundred and eighty in the mansion of these people?

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that if they weren't developed, these relatives wouldn't even bother to look for them.

This is just the case in this era, and clans are very important.

Even if these people are ostensibly annoyed by those distant relatives who come to take advantage.

But on the surface, there must not be too much impatience.

Otherwise, it would not be a joke to be caught by political opponents.

Maybe, it will really affect the career.

This is the case with traditional scholars, who, in private, at least on the surface, have a very high moral requirement.

Maybe a little bit of personal morality can only disgust them in normal times.

But at some critical moments, even this little stain may become an obstacle to promotion.

Some people may scoff at this kind of thing.

Those officials have always been official and protect each other, but it is just a little bad reputation, what impact can it really have on these officials?

If you think so, you would be very wrong.

When faced with other classes, these officials have the same interests and will naturally cover up each other.

But if their own interests are involved, then it's embarrassing, I don't care who you are.

Historically, in order to be promoted and rich, there have been countless things that have betrayed others and even made friends.

Officials are not monolithic among themselves, and they naturally have many factions.

If two people are similar in other aspects, in the end, one may go up and the other down because of a little bit of personal morality.

The structure of officials is also pyramid-shaped, and the higher you go, the fewer people there are, and the more difficult it is to promote.

Many officials have been conscientious all their lives, but they are stuck in one place and can no longer be promoted.

Every promotion, for officials, is quite important.

Further enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and take a step back to obscurity.

Under such circumstances, officials on both sides will absolutely not let go of any opportunity for their own sake.

And in officialdom, many times the emphasis is on fighting but not breaking.

After all, if you really tear your face and the two sides fight to the death, it won't do you any good.

In the absence of absolute self-control, in fact, attacking the other party's private morality is a most subtle weapon.

not only made the other party feel the pain, but did it really make the other party hurt his muscles and bones.

It is precisely for this reason that most officials are obviously annoying to those poor relatives, but as long as people come, they will not do too much in terms of face.

This is true for one's own family, and even more so for other people's families.

No matter what, the surface work will definitely be done.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pseudonym is always there, but in the eyes of many people in Liufu, he is such a poor relative.

It's nothing more than hugging the thigh of the Duke of E, and this time I want to use the power of the Duke of Eguo to come to them to find some cheapness.

Only the housekeeper in Liu Ji's mansion vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

In any case, up and down Liu Ji's mansion, no matter what you think of this Chang in your heart.

On the surface, no one showed any dissatisfaction.

Even what they did could be called very polite.

The rooms are not the best, but they are absolutely clean, tidy, spacious and bright.

It lives for two people, and it's even a little bigger.

But no matter what, after all, this is only a guest room arranged for the superficial identities of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.

It's not bad, but it's not that good.

If this "Chang Zai" is really just a distant relative of the Duke of Eguo who often meets the Spring Mansion.

This kind of treatment has even been said to be taken care of very enthusiastically.

But the problem is that the person in front of him is not always there at all.

It's His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Let Zhu Yuanzhang live in this kind of place in his own house?

Liu Ji even has a hundred guts, and he doesn't dare to do this.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang really paid a private visit to Weifu, and he himself didn't care about this kind of place.

After all, Lao Zhu's country was also fought with real swords and guns, and when he was fighting, what hardships did he not suffer?

Now living in Liu Ji's mansion is still a blessing.

But Liu Ji couldn't, he really didn't see anything.

Lao Zhu doesn't care, that's Lao Zhu's business.

If he Liu Ji doesn't say anything, it's a matter of attitude.

Ability can't be put aside first, this attitude is quite important.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is now a private visit to Weifu, and no matter what, he can only live in a guest room.

Liu Ji could only find a random reason and let the housekeeper change it.

After all, this is his mansion, and when others come, they will naturally be entertained according to the specifications.

can be replaced by his own friend, where do you want to live, it's not up to him, the owner?

As for whether others believe this reason or not, Liu Ji is not very worried.

His housekeeper must be able to see something, but Liu Ji knows what kind of person his housekeeper is.

Don't say that he doesn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, he definitely won't talk nonsense.

Even if he really knew Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, he knew that the depth would never be nonsense.

As for the other subordinates in the mansion, if they didn't even understand this rule, they would have been kicked out of their mansion by Liu Ji a long time ago.

After changing the residence, Liu Ji sent everyone away, but he didn't dare to leave, but stood outside the door of Zhu Yuanzhang's residence.

waited until Zhu Yuanzhang settled down, and then Liu Ji made a look of self-blame: "Oh, damn it, I remember that Mr. Chang likes Yanjing Yuweixuan's pastries the most."

"When I suddenly saw my husband just now, I was so happy that I forgot about it. Please sir wait, I'll go and buy it for him myself now. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Ji meaningfully.

Otherwise, really smart people are sometimes so likable.

Before he could say anything, Liu Ji had already understood what he really thought.

waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then thank you Lord Liu."

Liu Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, hurriedly bowed down, and took dozens of steps back, only then turned around and left quickly.

After Du Liu Ji left, Queen Ma couldn't help but wonder: "Chongba, when did you like to eat Yuweixuan's pastries?"

"How do I remember that you've never been a fan of sweet things, have you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Queen, do you think what this kid Liu Ji said is really doing something?"

Queen Ma can become a sage through the ages, and she is naturally smart about ice and snow.

Just by Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he already understood what Liu Ji meant.

"But where else can he go so late?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Where else can I go?" Of course, we first communicated with Liu Song and asked Liu Song not to report our identity to Ying Tianfu. ”

Even Queen Ma was a little dumbfounded when she heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words: "Chongba, what did you just say?"

"Liu Song actually wants to inform the people over there of your identity to Ying Tian?"

Speaking of Liu Song, Zhu Yuanzhang's original good mood was a little depressed again.

"This stubborn guy, since he saw us here, the first thing he did was of course to persuade us to change our minds and respond to Tianfu immediately."

"Believe it or not, the second thing this guy did must be to write a chapter and report to the people over there in Ying Tianfu where we are."

For Liu Song, Zhu Yuanzhang actually admires it.

After all, in addition to those guys who invite fame and buy straight, there are really not many truly honest people like Liu Song.

"But speaking of this guy, we can be regarded as eye-opening today......"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry, and he told Queen Ma everything he talked about with Liu Song and Liu Ji today, about the welfare of officials, without concealing it.

When Queen Ma heard this, she was immediately surprised and said, "Can it still be like this?"

But then, Queen Ma sighed with emotion: "It is worthy of the Seventh Five-Year Plan, if it is really implemented in accordance with the plan of the Seventh Five-Year Plan, it will definitely be greatly reduced in the future."

"Oh? Why is the queen so sure? Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

Queen Ma smiled: "Other concubines don't understand either, but the concubines know that if those corrupt officials can't participate in the imperial examination within three generations, they will be completely reduced to civilians."

"At least in order not to damage her son's future, the concubine will also find a way to make her father-in-law clean hands and feet."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this: "That's right, in this world, the queen can control us."

Queen Ma didn't answer, but said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that Qiwu should be okay."

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Seventy-five is not only able to control us, what does he want us to do, we have to do it obediently."

"And I did it willingly."

The husband and wife smiled knowingly at the same time.

On the other hand, Liu Ji is just as Zhu Yuanzhang guessed.

After going out, he didn't buy any so-called Yuweixuan pastries, but directly asked the coachman to rush to Liu Song's house as fast as possible.

Although the descendants of Liu Song's family are strange, why did Liu Ji go and return so quickly.

But he didn't think much about it, and instructed him to lead Liu Ji directly to Liu Song's residence.

"Master, Lord Liu asks to see you."

When Liu Ji entered the study, Liu Song was lying on the table and writing hard.

Seeing what he wrote, Liu Ji hurriedly went over to stop him: "Zigao, stop it!"

was disturbed by Liu Ji like this, Liu Song almost wrote wrongly, and naturally he couldn't write anymore.

Reluctantly put down the pen: "What does Lord Liu mean by this?"

Liu Ji rolled his eyes angrily: "You're embarrassed to ask me, do you know what you're doing?"

Liu Song looked like a matter of course: "Of course it's a piece of music, Your Majesty is so messing around and leaving the capital without authorization, once there is any danger, what should I do with the Ming Dynasty?"

"How did the Qin Dynasty die, don't others know if they don't know Lord Liu?"

"Ying Zheng's death led to chaos in the world, and eunuchs' control of the government led to the disintegration of the Qin State."

"If Yingzheng hadn't died outside because of an accident, the situation of the Qin Dynasty would never have come to this."

"Although my great achievements are unparalleled, the time for the establishment of the country is still short......"

Liu Ji finally couldn't listen anymore, and hurriedly stopped Liu Song: "Stop!"

Then he hurriedly lowered his voice and warned: "Zigao, you are crazy, dare to say anything?"

"If Your Majesty hears this, watch your head."

Liu Song was unmoved: "I originally wanted to say this to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty doesn't seem to want to hear it at all."

"If Your Majesty really cares about the Ming Dynasty, you should know the lessons of the Qin Dynasty."

Liu Ji was speechless: "Okay, okay, I know that you are loyal to our Daming."

"It's just ......" Liu Ji smiled awkwardly and said: "Today's incident, Zigao, you had better travel when you didn't see anything, didn't hear anything."

Liu Song's brows were about to twist: "Why?"

Liu Ji took a deep breath, the reason why Liu Song didn't turn his face was because during this time, they spent a lot of time with each other, and they cooperated very tacitly.

Let the entire Yanjing City have developed with each passing day.

In this process, Liu Song has also deeply understood Liu Ji's ability.

Ask yourself, if you were in Liu Ji's position, you would never be able to do so well.

Because of this, Liu Song is willing to give Liu Ji a chance to explain.

Liu Ji did not answer Liu Song directly, but asked Liu Song a question.

"Zigao knows the purpose of His Majesty's coming out this time?"

Liu Song shook his head decisively: "I don't know."

He didn't even know that Zhu Yuanzhang was not in Yingtianfu, so naturally it was impossible to understand why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly came to Yanjing.

Liu Ji actually didn't know, everything he said was just speculation.

But at this time, of course Liu Ji will not tell Liu Song, this is just speculation.

This is the biggest difference between him and Liu Song, in order to achieve the goal, some small means have nothing to do with Liu Ji.

"Your Majesty's purpose is actually there." As he spoke, Liu Ji pointed in the direction of Datong.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still in his house, and Liu Ji is not interested in playing the game of officialdom.

said directly to the point: "Recently, there are many people in the imperial court who are impeaching His Royal Highness."

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of England jointly raised troops in Weimo, and it can be said that His Royal Highness the King of England has great trust in him."

"It's just that no matter how much Your Majesty believes in His Royal Highness, it can be involved in ......"

Some things can be said, but some things can only be said to the point.

Liu Song's words changed: "Your Majesty went to Datong on a private visit this time, just to see with your own eyes what is going on over there."

"I believe that as long as Your Majesty arrives at Yingtianfu, he will naturally be relieved of His Royal Highness."

"But if Your Majesty can't get to Datong Mansion......"

"There are some things that can never be eliminated once they are created."

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Ji's words were finished, he saw Liu Song's hand put down the brush and began to tremble slightly.
