Liu Song is quite a principled person.

This point, Liu Ji, who has worked directly with Liu Song in Yanjing for so long, is completely certain.

His integrity is different from many people, not pretended, but his own personality.

Maybe some people will scoff at Liu Ji's words.

After all, knowing people and knowing faces does not know hearts.

No one knows if a person who seems to be extremely upright is a hypocrite hidden under his appearance.

Don't forget, who Liu Ji is.

The legendary Liu Bowen, the original historical Fu Zuo Zhu Yuanzhang, was a cattle man who created the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Although in real history, Liu Ji is not the legendary one, an omnipotent half-immortal-level figure.

But the reason why these legends can be passed on to gods and gods also proves from the side that Liu Ji is indeed a very powerful character.

I'm afraid few people know that Liu Ji actually has the ability to see people.

As these faces followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, more and more people have seen them, and Liu Ji's ability has become more and more pure.

Of course, Liu Ji will not tell anyone about this kind of thing.

Up to now, as long as he talks to a person, Liu Ji can basically touch this person's personality and temperament.

Not to mention, he has worked with Liu Song for so long.

It can be said that as long as Liu Song stares, Liu Ji can guess what he is angry for.

Sometimes Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh.

A person like him, who is so stubborn and can't rub a little sand in his eyes, can be such a high-ranking official.

He really can't understand it.

But after a long time, Liu Ji also found out.

Although Liu Song has principles, he does not have principles in everything.

People like him really believe in Confucianism from the bottom of their bones.

Some things, as long as they are in line with the general righteousness, personal preferences are not within his consideration.

For example, in Yanjing now, everything in the economy speaks with money.

For Liu Song, this is like everyone in his ear, non-stop swearing for twelve hours a day.

But even so, Liu Song never complained about anything.

Even many times in order for Yanjing to develop, Liu Song will take the initiative to do these things, the things he hates.

And it's better than most people do.

Why do it?

It's not because Liu Song is in Yanjing City and has seen with his own eyes that those people are getting better and better day by day.

The people who were numb now all have hopeful smiles on their faces.

People who used to work all day but couldn't even eat decent rice and noodles can now eat meat occasionally.

It is because of these that Liu Song does not hesitate to do his best even the things he hates.

Liu Ji even knows that since he took charge of Yanjing.

Liu Song, this guy, has two more quirks.

On the first day off, Liu Song will go to a temple or Taoist temple, and where he goes depends on Liu Song's mood.

No one knows exactly what he was going to do.

In order for the cooperation between the two sides to continue happily, Liu Ji never asked too much.

However, according to Liu Ji's speculation, Liu Song is estimated to be there to untie the knot.

Because what he is sitting on now, from a personal point of view, completely betrays his ideals.

The reason why it doesn't matter whether it is a Taoist temple or a temple is because Liu Songbang does not believe in Taoism or Buddhism.

If Kong Sheng hadn't been defeated by Zhu Han, Liu Song wouldn't have gone to that kind of place.

Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the Temple of Confucius?

As for the second quirk, it is that Liu Song will dress up on the second day off, Qiao Zhuang will dress up and go to the most crowded place in Yanjing City.

It's a construction site, or a market, or it's a place where jugglers gather.

Liu Ji understood that Liu Song wanted to see with his own eyes whether it was right or wrong that he had done so many things against his will.

Liu Ji didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Song's behavior.

Because he understands that Liu Song is different from ordinary people.

The kind of people they have too high a bottom line and don't want to see any human filth.

Moreover, now they are to wallow in the filth of what they thought before.

If he didn't find a way to adjust, he would have gone crazy a long time ago.

After that, Liu Song kept doing these two things alternately.

Because of this, Liu Ji came to persuade Liu Song.

If Liu Song is really the kind of person who reads to death, he is so old-fashioned that he doesn't know how to be flexible at all.

Liu Ji wouldn't say these things to him at all.

To deal with that kind of person, Liu Ji also has a lot of means.

"Zigao!" Seeing Liu Song's expression shaken.

Liu Ji knew that he was talking about the idea, and immediately continued to increase the weight.

"How important is His Royal Highness to our Ming Dynasty, I don't think I need to tell you about this, right?"

"Once Your Majesty has any opinion on His Royal Highness because of the slander of His Royal Highness by some people with ulterior motives."

"When the time comes, what do you think will be the result?"

Hearing Liu Ji say this, Liu Song's whole person was suddenly struck by lightning, and his face was as white as a blank piece of paper.

This change of his made Liu Ji a little baffled.

I don't know what Liu Song, this guy, thought of, and his face can be ugly like this.

But this is also a good thing for Liu Ji, the more Liu Song attaches importance to this matter, the easier it is to convince him.

Without giving Liu Song time to continue digesting at all, Liu Ji said like a cannon: "The reason why Your Majesty is now paying a private visit is to secretly investigate the affairs of His Royal Highness the King."

"On the contrary, it shows that His Majesty did not take those false accusations to heart."

"If Your Majesty really believes it, it will be some important ministers in the court, not Your Majesty."

"If Your Majesty arrives in Datong and investigates everything clearly, I believe that this filth will definitely be unraveled."

"Zigao, you and I both know that His Royal Highness is definitely not the kind of person who looks like he does things on the surface."

"As long as Your Majesty goes to investigate, you will definitely be able to return His Royal Highness to his innocence."

After a pause, Liu Ji said with a solemn face: "But Zigao, if you leak Your Majesty's whereabouts now......"

"It is inevitable that the imperial court will not sit idly by, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will not be able to go to Datong."

"I can't personally verify what all the actions of His Royal Highness are for, Your Majesty must have doubts in your heart."

"By that time......"

Grunt!

Even if he is calm and upright, even if the knife is on his neck, Liu Song will not frown.

On his forehead, a drop of sweat inevitably flowed.

Liu Song walked from behind the desk to Liu Ji, and respectfully bowed him to the end: "Thank you Lord Liu for mentioning it, Zigao almost made a big mistake."

"If Your Majesty only suspects His Royal Highness, it's fine. But if Your Majesty has murderous thoughts towards His Royal Highness......"

"With the temper of His Royal Highness, he will definitely not be caught."

"At that time, I'm afraid that my majestic and bright fall apart will be in sight."

"How many years has it been peaceful? I'm afraid it's not going to be the world in turmoil again. ”

"it." Liu Ji's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Even with his city cultivation, a foul word almost came to his lips.

After all, he is the minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty.

When it was critical, I still didn't behave too much.

You Liu Song, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, turned out to be not a good thing.

In my head, I was thinking about something all day.

Will the current Ming fall apart?

But soon, Liu Song found out that if things really went the way Liu Song thought.

Perhaps, the overseas that the Ming Dynasty has not yet fully controlled will also be out of the control of the Ming Dynasty.

I'm afraid it's all fake.

After the initial surprise, Liu Ji quickly calmed down.

In fact, he felt that such a thing would never happen at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Song are by no means ordinary people, and the suspicion that ordinary people will have will hardly happen to them.

But of course, Liu Ji won't tell Liu Song about these things.

It couldn't have been better that he could have thought so.

Good guy, as an employee, thinking about the chairman's small report every day?

Liu Ji didn't know what Liu Song thought.

Now he has his own understanding, and this understanding is beneficial to himself.

Otherwise, Liu Ji didn't care at all.

In order to express his determination, Liu Song directly picked up the half-written piece and placed it on the flame of the oil lamp next to him.

That piece of music was burned directly to the wine glass.

Liu Song had already burned the piece, and Liu Ji decisively stood up and took his leave.

He is not worried, Liu Ji has one thing on the surface and one thing behind his back.

This guy is not like that.

If he is really determined not to agree, he will only say it clearly.

I don't pretend to say yes first, and then make a small report.

Liu Song sent Liu Ji to the door and watched him leave.

Then he looked sad: "Seeing that the monarch is in danger, as a courtier, he didn't even advise......"

As he spoke, Liu Song shook his head helplessly

On the other hand, Liu Ji, who left Liu's mansion, was also sighing: "Zigao, he is really an honest man."

He didn't go back directly, but really went to Yuweixuan to buy some pastries.

As for these pastries, whether Zhu Yuanzhang really likes them, in fact, no one cares, does he?

He just made a show and did a full set, so as not to make any mess in his house.

Back at the mansion, Liu Ji also specially held the pastries and deliberately came to the residence slowly

The purpose of this is, of course, so that more people can see him carrying a set of points.

Although there are only a few people who really dare to stare at Liu Ji.

"Mr. Chang, Liu Ji asks to see!"

is obviously his own mansion, but Liu Ji acts as if he is an outsider.

"Come in." Mr. Chang in the room said lightly.

Liu Ji pushed the door into the house, and Zhu Yuanzhang was reading a book in the living room.

After Liu Ji entered the room, Lao Zhu calmly turned a page of the book and asked lightly, "It's solved."

Liu Ji hurriedly nodded, and when he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, it's solved."

"Zigao is also a person who knows the seriousness of the matter, and he has promised not to reveal His Majesty's whereabouts to Yingtian."

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth curled slightly: "Even Liu Song can convince you, we admire you a lot."

This sounds like a compliment to Liu Ji, but Liu Ji knows that this is not a good thing.

hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The minister is dead!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes angrily: "Get up, we can really let you die."

"Tell us first, what's going on in Yanjing."

Where did Liu Ji dare to hide it, and hurriedly told Zhu Yuanzhang what Zhu Han had done after he came to Yanjing.

Liu Ji didn't even add oil and vinegar, he said whatever he wanted, and never said more.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not like when he first arrived in Yanjing, he jumped like thunder when he heard something casually.

He was very patient and listened to everything Liu Ji said.

Although there was also Zhu Han's beating report before, as well as Jin Yiwei's investigation.

However, many things, after all, are still the parties involved, and they understand it more clearly, don't they?

Most of the time, Lao Zhu listened carefully, only occasionally asking a few questions.

There are so many things that the King of England has done since he came to Yanjing.

The bidding meeting, the promotion of the patent law, and the bridges built by his students out of paper completely suppressed all the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works.

Later, in order to restrict the merchants, Zhu Han directly turned against the high-ranking officials of the Yanjing Sixth Department.

After that, for the sake of their own glory and wealth, those high-ranking officials did not hesitate to assassinate Zhu Han directly on Qipan Street.

If it weren't for the ordinary people who had received Zhu Han's favor, they used their lives and blood to buy time, so that Zhu Han finally survived until the reinforcements arrived.

I have to say that Liu Ji's eloquence is really good, even if he knows a lot of things.

There are even some details, Lao Zhu has more details than Liu Ji.

But despite this, Lao Zhu was also fascinated by what he heard.

Before you know it, the whole night has passed

The sky gradually brightened.

A rooster's crowing interrupted Liu Ji's narration.

The two of them realized that it was already daylight.

Even if they kept talking all night, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Ji didn't have the slightest look of sleepiness on their faces.

Moreover, even if it was talked about overnight, the situation on Yanjing's side was only one out of tenth.

"Your Majesty." Liu Ji bowed down a little embarrassed and said: "It's not too early for the county order, and today is not a day off, please allow Your Majesty to allow the ministers to retire and wash up first, and start today's work."

If Liu Song said other reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang would not pay attention to it at all.

But Liu Song is talking about work.

Lao Zhu is a complete workaholic, and he will never allow the officials of the Ming Dynasty to deal with errands casually if he works hard.

"In that case, let's clean it up as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said very simply: "Let's go with you today."

The situation on Yanjing's side was too unexpected for Zhu Yuanzhang.

He couldn't really understand just by listening.

You have to see for yourself how exactly they work to really understand.

Lao Zhu has spoken, where does Liu Ji dare to say half a word?

"In that case, Your Majesty, please wash up as soon as possible, today's morning meeting will start soon."

The two of them washed up as quickly as they could, and breakfast was also solved in a hurry, and then they immediately went to the yamen to order something.
