Chapter 167: Heaven's Will Is Hard to Disobey
Zhu Yunxi walked out of Wang Jinghong's hut, but walked in the direction of the imperial study.
He wanted to ask Zhu Yuanzhang, how did Liu Bowen die?
Although this question may make Zhu Yuanzhang furious, and even open flowers on his ass again, he still wants to ask.
Ask for the girl.
The imperial study was extraordinarily quiet, only a little eunuch stood respectfully outside the door, and when he saw Zhu Yunxi, he hurriedly saluted.
A moment later, Zhu Yunxi walked into the imperial study with the little eunuch and saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting there alone.
"Have you been to see Wang Jinghong?"
Zhu Yunxi didn't seem surprised by his arrival, and asked lightly.
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "I heard that the imperial grandfather has agreed to let him go to Qinglou Academy to retire?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and sighed: "If I could, I would also like to live a leisurely life like him, but it's a pity that I'm the emperor, but it's a pity that your wings are still too soft and can't fly too high." ”
This topic was too sensitive, and Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to answer rashly, so he could only let out two embarrassing smirks with a smiling face.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi swallowed his saliva, plucked up his courage and said, "I want to ask how Liu Bowen died." ”
When the words fell, the room suddenly fell into silence, and after a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and asked in a deep voice:
"What if I said I killed him? What will happen to you? ”
Zhu Yunxi was speechless for a while, he just wanted to ask, where did he think about it?
He stammered, "Didn't Grandpa Huang say that you didn't do this that night?" ”
"Then why are you asking me again?"
There was a hint of coldness in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and he smiled: "Do you really want to hear the news that he was killed by me?" ”
I didn't think about it so much...... Zhu Yunxi only felt an invisible pressure coming, and shook his head again and again:
"No, well, how to say?"
He felt a little incoherent.
"Then you want to get the truth for that girl?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked tightly and oppressively.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly regretted that he came to ask this question so impulsively.
Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang said that night that Liu Bowen was not killed by him, and he asked like this, obviously he didn't believe Zhu Yuanzhang's words, no wonder the emperor's grandfather was so angry.
Sweat began to break down his forehead, and he almost wanted to run away from the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his appearance, couldn't help but laugh in his heart, slowed down his tone and said:
"Stinky boy, you don't have to be nervous, you just have free today, let's talk about this topic."
"What are you talking about?"
Zhu Yunxi became even more nervous.
"Tell me, should Liu Bowen be killed?"
As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded, he blinked his eyes twice, and said weakly:
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Xi has never thought about this problem."
"Then you think about it now."
Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved, and looked at Zhu Yunxi with great meaning and said.
Forget it, what should I do...... Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath, tried to calm his mood, and said after thinking for a moment:
"The king should be benevolent, but not the benevolence of a woman, Liu Ji is a genius of the world, and he has the ability to pass through the heavens and the earth."
Speaking of this, he paused, slowed down his sentence, and said word by word:
"It works, stay!"
"Can't be used, kill!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's body shook slightly, and he asked quietly:
"What works and what can't?"
Zhu Yunxi replied without hesitation:
"As a courtier, you should do your best for the court and the people of the world, if you are old, you should indulge in the mountains and rivers, enjoy your old age and have no worries in your heart.
This is available, or stayed!
But if you are out of the monitoring of the imperial court and have too many worries in your heart, it is unusable, and you should kill it to prevent future troubles. ”
After saying this, Zhu Yunxi let out a long breath of turbidity, this is the truest thought in his heart, without any personal feelings, he thinks completely from the perspective of a ruler.
If Liu Bowen really became a hidden danger in the Ming Dynasty, he would do the same.
"That's what you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the meaning of the word concern in Zhu Yunxi's words, and asked a little suspiciously.
From the beginning, he thought that Zhu Yunxi was just a young man, and it was the little girl named Wen He who made him have the urge to figure out this problem.
didn't expect Zhu Yunxi's answer to be like this.
"These are two completely opposite paths to his father!"
He shouted in his heart, if it was the crown prince Zhu Biao, he would never say such a thing.
When Zhu Biao was alive, he once persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang not to kill innocents indiscriminately, which made Zhu Yuanzhang quite unhappy and thought that Zhu Biao was too weak.
Because as an emperor, weakness and kindness are not good characters!
So he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunxi with some curiosity.
Zhu Yunxi nodded, and said seriously: "The king's concern should be for the world and not about his personal reputation, for the sake of this Ming dynasty, even if it is pointed out by thousands of people, as long as there is no shame in his heart, he must be killed!" ”
"What a sentence with a clear conscience!"
Zhu Yuanzhang praised in his heart, but asked with a smile: "After talking for a long time, you haven't answered me yet, so should Liu Bowen be killed?" ”
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said categorically: "He was old back then, even if he returned to his hometown to retire, he never left the sight of the imperial court, and he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, so he shouldn't die!" ”
"You know all this from Wen He's girl's mouth?"
A trace of suspicion flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes again, with Zhu Yunxi's age, how could he know what kind of state Liu Bowen was in back then?
As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard this, the nerves that had just been relaxed tensed again, and he shook his head again and again:
"I don't know the relationship between Wen He and Liu Bowen, and she has never said anything about Liu Bowen in front of me, but Uncle Li was involved in Hu Weiyong's case that day, and I had to learn more."
With that, he felt like he was sweating again.
Good guy, if you dare to say that you know, then you will definitely be suspected of conspiring with Wen He to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang.
In fact, there was no such thing as that.
So he answered very frankly at the moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal, staring closely at Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt that his back was like a thorn, but he didn't dare to look away, and stared at Zhu Yuanzhang in a daze.
"You can't turn your head, you can't turn your head!"
He kept shouting in his heart, although he was telling the truth, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, he felt a little weak for no reason, and he couldn't stop wanting to escape from the other party's sight.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhu Yunxi was inexplicable, he was open-minded, and it stands to reason that he should ignore Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, but why did he become like this?
Could this be the kind of coercion that the emperor was born with?
"Grandpa Huang, don't you look at me with such eyes?"
Zhu Yunxi finally couldn't hold it back, and said weakly.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, stood up and patted Zhu Yunxi and said:
"Grandpa Huang also thinks so, Liu Bowen he shouldn't die, but he died, maybe this is the will of heaven."
Providence?
...... Zhu Yunxi was stunned, but heard Zhu Yuanzhang say with a smile:
"Hu Weiyong thought that your imperial grandfather wanted him to die, so he killed him, this is the truth."
"Didn't you say it was providential?"
Zhu Yunxi's brain was a little unresponsive, and he muttered in a low voice.
"Of course it's providence."
Zhu Yuanzhang said as a matter of course: "God let Hu Weiyong speculate about his sacred heart, isn't this the will of heaven?" ”
Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized, and couldn't help blurting out: "In that case, Han Lin'er's death should also be providential." ”
After saying this, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
This sentence was just said subconsciously, and it didn't pass his brain at all
Without saying a word, he fell to his knees and shouted, "Why don't you hit me on the board." ”
He is really depressed now, isn't he usually quite strong in front of Zhu Yuanzhang?
It's like a brain cramp when you talk about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang gently pulled Zhu Yunxi up, patted his head gently, and said kindly:
"That's right, that thing is also providential."
"The emperor's grandfather sent Liao Yongzhong to pick up King Xiao Ming had a dream on the eve of the dream, and he dreamed that the boat was sinking, so when Liao Yongzhong set off, he specifically told him to pay attention to safety along the way, the wind and waves on the river are high, and the danger of capsizing is easy to appear, so don't be careless."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and said with a sigh: "It's a pity that the boat capsized in the end, it is really the will of God!" ”
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang dumbfounded, and suddenly had an urge to hit the wall.
