As soon as Zhu Yan walked to the Fengtian Palace, he saw that the inspector had taken off the scarlet robes of the three officials and tied them to a wooden frame.

Do not stop whipping.

Bang Bang Bang!

There are barbs on the whip.

With each whip dropping, the white flesh and tender flesh were dyed bright red, and the official suppressed his low howl, and soon let go of his whining howl.

The inspector waved his whip in disregard.

The other officer writhed, trying to dodge, but the whip slammed the white belly.

Dare to move? Zhu Yu didn't dare to move, his father was afraid of Liu Ji, why did he want Liu Ji to be the middle of the imperial history, acting as his eyes and ears?

It's because Liu Ji is upright!

He dared to say the opposite to his father, and these officials dared to slander him.

At this time, in the Fengtian Temple,

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the low howl, and couldn't help but ask himself, are they so afraid of Liu Ji?

Liu Ji lived up to his high hopes and executed many corrupt officials and evil officials, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Liu Ji was upright and loyal, and he had to start with Li Shanchang.

After Li Shanchang took charge of Zhongshu Province, he had great authority, and his nephew Li Bin was lawless and was caught by Liu Ji, Li Shanchang pleaded, but Liu Ji still executed him according to the law.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and sat in front of the imperial case, his feelings for Liu Ji were very conflicted.

It's like having a friend with outstanding abilities, but always worrying that one day, this friend will leave him and become good friends with someone else.

The low roar outside the hall gradually turned into a loud shout.

Forcing the palace to persuade was a means for civil officials to coerce the emperor after the Ming Dynasty.

But during the Hongwu period, unless he had the determination to die in vain, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be led by the nose by civil officials, he had his own will.

Every time he swung the whip, he could take away a piece of flesh and blood from that official.

I don't know if it was sad or exhausted, the official went from whining at the beginning, to howling, and then to whispering.

Zhu Biao pursed his lips, "Father, the punishment is too heavy." ”

"Brother, this is just a small breeze before the storm, if my father is so easily swayed by civil officials, he can't suppress the arrogant soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty."

The prince's assistant also coughed in fear.

After this episode, the officials in the Fengtian Temple were silent, but they were only small characters, and when they saw the civil officials who were admonishing being dragged out, they were immediately silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face, "Let's get up before dawn, let's get up and review the sparse music, you guys came to tell us, you can't use Liu Ji, it's been a long time, and it's all!" ”

"Shame on you!"

"Shame on you!"

The more he refuses to use it, the more it shows that these officials have other thoughts, Liu Ji has been with him for many years, what kind of person he is, Zhu Yuanzhang knows very well in his heart.

The atmosphere in the hall became eerie, and the officials lowered their heads and inhaled gently.

Zhu Yan was bold and walked into the Fengtian Palace.

"Father, Liu Ji has promised to be a son-in-law, and I beg my father to give him a piece of money."

"I won't discuss this matter today."

Zhu Yuanzhang kept a straight face and did not give any promises.

Zhu Rong looked left and right, there were more than a dozen officials, holding a fluorene card, opposing Liu Bowen's appearance, well, it is not appropriate to raise the payment to Yu Lu in front of others.

He turned and walked out.

The court was very quiet, and no officials objected, but it did not mean that Huaixi officials were willing to see Liu Ji return to the court.

Most of the Huaixi nobles who rebelled with Zhu Yuanzhang in the early years were vulgar villagers who didn't read any books, and their purpose in fighting the world was to enjoy the glory and wealth, thinking that the world was their share.

Liu Ji is an outsider,

Why get a piece of the pie?

A few days passed, Zhu Yu came to the main hall and pointed to a spacious and bright school.

He instructed: "Take out the bookshelves in this library, buy two large wooden tables, and add two chairs. ”

Liu Jiu quickly ran out.

Due to the order of Queen Ma, the lecturer of the main hall quickly complied.

Zhu Yuxin said, tomorrow is the day when Liu Ji performs his duties, how can I ask him to teach me some strategies in a subtle way...... Naturally, I don't want to learn the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Early in the morning, Liu Ji was wearing a brand-new blue Confucian robe, his hair was combed, and it seemed that he had taken a serious bath before entering the palace, and the whole person seemed to be rejuvenated.

Seeing Zhu Rong, he said: "Send a word to Your Highness, don't be embarrassed by King Yan in the future." ”

"Fourth brother?"

"With the virtue and character of King Yan, it will become a great weapon in the future."

The second son, King Qin, made the most mistakes, the third son, King Jin, could not restrain his desires, the fifth son, King Wu, was obsessed with herbal medicine, the sixth son, King Chu, lacked courage, and the seventh son, King Qi, was too stubborn.

Only the fourth son, King Yan, is brave and firm, and benevolent and forbearing.

He is the one who is most like Zhu Yuanzhang among the kings.

Sometimes, Liu Ji even saw in Zhu Di the qualities needed to achieve hegemony, the appearance of an emperor, and now he is the teacher of King Qi, so he has to be reminded.

"How can Mr. tell that I am not as good as the fourth brother?" Zhu Yu was careless, but said in his heart that Zhu Di not only became the emperor, but also created a prosperous Yongle era in which all countries came to the dynasty.

That's why he needs Liu Ji!

"When Your Majesty was fighting in all directions, I often accompanied the queen and taught the kings that King Yan was the most outstanding, King Qi, take my words to heart!"

Liu Ji's expression was solemn.

Zhu Di has a strong personality and is easy to conflict with his brothers, Liu Ji doesn't want it, Zhu Yu and Zhu Di have a dislike, in his opinion, this is the best gift he gave to Zhu Rong on the first day of class.

"Brother is like a brother, if he bullies me, he will be ashamed to be my brother, and in order to correct his behavior, I will also teach him a lesson!"

Zhu Yu's tone was very firm.

Liu Ji was suddenly stunned.

He looked at Zhu Rong, and in a trance seemed to see Zhu Yuanzhang's shadow, and he laughed out loud regardless of his manners, but there was a slight flicker in the corners of his eyes.

"It's me who despises King Qi too much!"

In Liu Ji's impression, Zhu Rong is a playful prince and has no big ambitions.

Looking at Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors, they all have an unyielding will, and they resist angrily when they encounter oppression and injustice, Zhu Di is such a person, he also saw it in Zhu Rong.

"This "Zhaojian Lu" is the fifth year of Hongwu, and His Majesty ordered the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen to collect the good and evil of the vassal kings since the Han and Tang dynasties, and give it to the kings as an admonition."

Liu Ji said.

The Shokanlu records what the vassal king and his subordinates should observe and what should not be done, and the kings must copy it every day.

This is the idea of imprisoning the vassal king.

"But I've already learned."

"What I'm talking about is different from what other attendants say."

Liu Ji would tell Zhu Rong what else could be done.

He believed that to teach the kings was not to teach him to memorize the knowledge of the scriptures, but to develop a judgment, vision, virtue, and wisdom.

This is the result of self-cultivation!

A piece of fine gold, you have to find a master craftsman to build, a piece of jade, there must be a good craftsman, will make it into a tool, which requires the teacher to have a high moral character and wisdom like a craftsman, in order to carve carefully for the protégé.

"The deposition of King Zhongshan of Tang Dynasty was because he labored the people in order to satisfy his own desires, spoke the words of the people, and did pleasure things."

"No, aren't the sages like Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling enough to teach him?"

"That's a lack of resourcefulness."

"Heh, those in power, will become more and more relaxed with the stability of the current situation in the world and the passage of time, this is what I want to tell King Qi."

"Will my father too?"

"No, it won't."

"Why?"

Liu Ji gave Zhu Rong and told him about Li Chengqian's bad habit of immersing himself in lustful dogs and horses, to the scourge of white horses, and then to Liu Xian, who extended to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

seems to know that Zhu Yu can understand.

Zhu Yan didn't care about the seemingly undisciplined teaching, the two had a tacit understanding and tacitly agreed.

Not a word of nonsense.
