Chapter 405: Trap
"Oh? What's the news? ”
Jiang Xinghuo's attitude towards Zhu Gaosui was a little strange, this was something he had never done before, if Emperor Yongle asked him to tell him the news, then he would not let himself ask questions.
And regarding the matter of [Taizu's death day], since Xie Jin, neither Ji Gang nor the old monk have received any further news from the two intelligence lines, why did Zhu Gaosui suddenly take it out?
As expected, this is the news that Zhu Gaosui "sold" to himself in private.
"I have a few eyeliners under my hands, which are the imperial history that was fished out of prison last year, and the inside is not clean, and I pinch their vital points. This time, one of them was found like Xie Jin, but he was different from other imperial histories, and on the surface he seemed to be extremely loyal. ”
"It's the same one-line connection?" Jiang Xinghuo asked.
"Hmm." Zhu Gaosui nodded and said, "It stands to reason that only one person can be found, but he accidentally got the same news from his fellow villagers, so now there are clear clues, pointing to a certain civil official at the level of Shangshu may not be in the same league as Jianwen Yu, but the purpose must be the same." ”
Seeing that Zhu Gaosui refused to say his name, Jiang Xinghuo also knew his intentions.
"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Third Prince wants from me?"
This is very abnormal, Jiang Xinghuo used his brain a little, and he knew that Zhu Gaosui must want to get something from himself that only he could give him, but he needed to carry Emperor Yongle on his back.
Zhu Gaosui smiled slyly: "National teacher, I have helped you a lot this time, you can't just give a little favor." ”
Jiang Xinghuo also laughed: "Okay, you want to be the prince?" ”
"Don't, don't."
Zhu Gaosui hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "Don't joke with the national teacher, I'm not stupid, if I really want to be a prince, I don't know how to die." ”
Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved.
If you don't want to be a prince, what do you want to do?
Zhu Gaosui continued: "The national teacher should be able to see more clearly than everyone else, I am the third brother, the eldest brother can write, the second brother can martial arts, I can only do some work to listen to the corner, even if the so-called 'blood is thicker than water', no matter how much my father prefers me, he will not make me the prince after all, not to mention, my character, ability and many other aspects, I really don't have that ability"
"But what."
Zhu Gaosui continued: "No matter who becomes the crown prince in the future and who can finally ascend the throne, once the son of heaven and a courtier, I am the son of my father, and my father can use me with confidence, but my two elder brothers will not let my younger brother be in charge of intelligence. I'm a secret, and I can't guarantee how it will end. ”
"You want to get out of the way."
Jiang Xinghuo had vaguely understood what the other party meant.
"It's not just that I want to be a vassal king, and I'm not a vassal king without soldiers and power."
Zhu Gaosui's tone became resolute: "I used to know that this was difficult, and even I felt very slim, after all, cutting the feudal domain is the trend of the times, but I am really unwilling to be a prince of peace without power It's not my greed, but the national teacher has made all this different, and I have a new choice." ”
Jiang Xinghuo finally knew what Zhu Gaosui wanted from him.
"You want to go overseas and find a free kingdom where you can rule independently and pass on your heirs, but why do you say it now?"
Zhu Gaosui's answer was very honest: "In the past, I thought that the national teacher was bragging and couldn't achieve it, but at this stage, the overseas feudal domain is not a matter of nothing, as long as overseas trade has interests, overseas colonies will always be part of the Ming system, and these colonies far away from the Central Plains need vassal kings to rule instead of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Conditions overseas are very poor."
"But the sky is high, and the emperor is far away."
Jiang Xinghuo's expression suddenly turned cold, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Your Majesty has granted you the condition of sealing the domain, and let you test me."
Zhu Gaosui put down the three-colored heavenly king figurines in his hand and sighed: "National teacher, you still don't understand. ”
"I really don't understand, this kind of thing is the last decision made by His Majesty, what you want, you just need to ask Your Majesty, ask me, let me help you, what's the use?" Jiang Xinghuo looked at him and asked.
"Because Your Majesty won't let me leave, because you said, the Japanese divide the silver, we are all on this ring, and no one can leave."
Zhu Gaosui's expression was a little bitter: "Father will not let anyone threaten his power, he values the second brother because only the second brother can check and balance the power of the eldest brother and not threaten him; He reused me to probe everyone's secrets, not because my ability was better than Ji Gang's, nor because my father liked me more, but because this was how the eldest brother and the second brother could bow down to him. ”
Zhu Gaosui's abnormality made Jiang Xinghuo alert, Jiang Xinghuo didn't have a deep friendship with him, why would the other party say such taboo words to himself?
"And what about the other person?" Jiang Xinghuo asked.
"Junki." Zhu Gaosui said affirmatively, "When Zhan Ji grows up, he will definitely be loved by his father, and he will definitely restrain us uncles until his father dies. ”
"Why, exactly?"
Of course, Zhu Gaosui knew what Jiang Xinghuo was asking, he was asking why he was uncharacteristically talking to Jiang Xinghuo today, which made Jiang Xinghuo extremely puzzled, if he didn't explain it clearly, I was afraid that Jiang Xinghuo would refuse to trade with him.
"The second brother invited me to drink last night, and when I got drunk, I spit out the doubts in my heart and asked him why he came out of the edict, as if he was a different person. The second brother told me that it was because he met you, the national teacher, who could predict the future and told him a future that he couldn't accept, so he had to change. The second brother didn't tell me what this future would look like, but I knew very well that my ending must not be good. ”
"I don't predict the future anymore." Jiang Xinghuo said.
Zhu Gaosui nodded and said, "I know, Cheng Guogong's incident made you feel uncomfortable. ”
Jiang Xinghuo didn't explain, since the other party thought so, he might as well push the boat with the water.
In fact, it was because the storm that rolled up became bigger and bigger as the butterfly wings of his traverser stirred up more and more, and the line of history had been rerouted in another direction, and he could no longer predict the future after being disturbed by himself.
And what magnitude of deviation between the characters and events on the historical line in the future will not be surprised by Jiang Xinghuo.
"You also said that you are on this ring and cannot walk."
"I'm not irreplaceable, Ji Gang can replace me."
Then, Zhu Gaosui took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Xinghuo.
Zhu Gaosui said sincerely again: "National teacher, show the way." ”
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the name on it, and finally spoke: "The Red River Delta in the north of Annam is going to be divided under the Ming Dynasty, and the fifteenth political envoy will be established. Jiaozhi set up political envoys, and the rest of the territory of Annam will be handed over to Chen Tianping to rebuild the Chen Dynasty for puppet rule; Korea will annex all of them, follow the example of the Yuan Dynasty to establish the province of Zhengdongxing, and establish the 16th political envoy. Goryeo Diplomatic Envoy Division; Japan will completely dismember after cutting off a few areas, but Japan's population is too large and needs to be subtly weakened, and in the future, it will definitely be mainly to provoke the Japanese feudal domains to continue to fight, and it will not be possible to establish a political envoy. ”
"Luzon and Tianzhu are ruled in the form of feudal kings, Luzon can be taken down in a short time, Tianzhu will fight slowly, and Tianzhu will face the pressure of the Timurid Empire in the north, if there is really that day, the Ming Dynasty is determined to fight Tianzhu, and the Timurid Empire will not let it go."
"National teacher, help me get out, no matter what method you use, persuade my father and let Ji Gang replace me."
Zhu Gaosui opened his price code:
"In exchange, in addition to today's information, I will provide you with three key pieces of information that only I know in the future, free of charge and in a timely manner."
When these words came out, Jiang Xinghuo did not respond for a long time, and he fell into deep thought.
It was difficult for him to make a decision on this matter for a while.
Zhu Gaosui didn't bother and waited patiently.
After a long time, Jiang Xinghuo looked at Zhu Gaosui, who was bent on moistening, and said slowly: "Have you thought clearly?" Making a deal behind His Majesty's back, once this matter is exposed, I don't know what to do, at most I will die, but you may lose Your Majesty's trust. ”
This sounds very inconsistent, but if it comes out of Jiang Xinghuo's mouth, Zhu Gaosui feels that it is too normal.
"I've figured it out a long time ago, I can't do dirty work all my life, I know too many secrets. It's going to die. ”
After all, only the dead can best keep secrets.
Jiang Xinghuo nodded, since Zhu Gaosui had made up his mind, he didn't bother to persuade anything.
After all, Zhu Gaosui is the prince of the Zhu family, although everyone is used to death, but Emperor Yongle will never kill him, there is no doubt about it, the current situation is nothing more than Zhu Gaosui was used too easily by Emperor Yongle, and he knew too many secrets, and he was seeking a way out for himself.
Jiang Xinghuo was silent for a moment: "I will try to help you go overseas to seal the country and build a country." ”
"The phrase "having a national teacher is enough." Zhu Gaosui was relieved.
Then he seemed to remember something, and took out a note from his sleeve and said, "Father has another question for the national teacher. How to make the cities and fortresses of Gansu better defend against artillery and gunpowder? ”
What does that mean? Treat me as Baidu?
This question was a bit abrupt, Jiang Xinghuo didn't think about it for a while, so he accepted the note, planning to answer Emperor Yongle when he had ideas in the future.
Zhu Gaosui left with the three-color Heavenly King Warriors, and when Li Zengzhi came in, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly said to him: "By the way, there are still two things you need to do." ”
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the lively scene of the auction of three-color bottles in the audience, and ordered.
"The first thing, let the Japanese businessman who came with Imagawa Rytoshi get some blood, and the last auction item today will be changed to a 10,000 stone futures rice discount coupon, which will be 7% off, a total of five."
Jiang Xinghuo's tone was an order rather than a consultation, Li Zengzhi weighed it, but didn't say anything, this is a means to attract Ming businessmen to Japan for tomorrow's unarmed free trade zone, fat and rich should be able to carry out, after all, he was entrusted by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and now it is the second time he has come to Daming, and he should know how much interest rate difference there is in free trade, and the loss in front of him is temporary.
"The second thing, I called the third prince of Fang Cai over just now and told me some news, and Xun Zhan looked like he was greedy."
Jiang Xinghuo didn't say it explicitly, but Li Zengzhi immediately understood that people would fall for it if they were greedy, this was to use this futures rice to set up a strategy to put him in, after all, Li Zengzhi also knew that Wang Jing played a great role in hindering this, and Xun Zhan was his right-hand man.
Li Zengzhi went to do these two things, Liu Fuchun had no objection, he also wanted to take advantage of this to make a fool of himself, and to Jiang Xinghuo's surprise, the Japanese businessman Feifu came to visit in person.
"How?"
Jiang Xinghuo looked at him, could it be that such a big businessman in Japan was not even willing to suffer such a loss?
"Master Guoshi, I'll add five more, for a total of ten."
Fei Fule let his own blood out, and then asked with a shy face: "In the future, can Japanese rice be sold to Daming at a low price?" ”
"Is there so much rice in Japan? Japan has a large population, too. ”
Jiang Xinghuo just wanted to ask for directions, and used the shipping of Japanese rice to verify the commercial feasibility of shipping the military rations of the Ming border army from the south in the future, so as to reform the opening of China and France, and did not really want to import rice from Japan, after all, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to rely on Japan to supply the border army's military rations, which had nothing to do with the price.
However, Feifu's shamelessness as a businessman immediately broke Jiang Xinghuo's cognitive bottom line.
"Yes, there are many, we Japanese have been herbivores since ancient times, you can not eat rice, you can sell it to the Ming Dynasty, as long as you can make money, you can sell anything."
Jiang Xinghuo: "."
"And then there's."
Seeing that Jiang Xinghuo did not object clearly, Fei Fu climbed up with the help of the pole, and said: "Songjiang cotton, I know that you handed it over to Imagawa-kun to sell in Japan, I won't touch this, but other trade goods, such as Yangzhou tea or Hangzhou tea, can the national teacher hand it over to me?" I promise that I will help the National Normal University in Japan, and if the National Normal University needs it, I will deliver your copy on time every year. ”
"Hita-kun, I don't need money, money means nothing to me, but I do need you to help me do something."
Jiang Xinghuo summoned him and said something in his ear.
If it touches the relevant interest groups, then there may be obstacles, not necessarily the big plan to destroy the Yongle Emperor, but at the beginning of the reform, if a large amount of grain can be imported from Japan and North Korea and directly hoarded on the northern defense line, it will not work, after all, rice will not be bad if it is left for a few years.
——————
With the conversation between the two, the final scene of the first day of the auction downstairs was also staged.
The hostess looked at the paper card that had been temporarily replaced in her palm and read: "The last auction item, ten 10,000 stone Japanese rice futures discount coupons, the futures price is 200 Wen, and the discount is. Seventy OFF! ”
The moment this discount was pronounced, everyone was hot.
Here we need to briefly explain the prices on both sides now and tomorrow, otherwise it may be difficult to understand.
Now it is 1 tael of silver in the early Ming Dynasty, according to the price comparison in different regions, it can probably be exchanged for about 1200-1300 copper coins, and a stone of rice (one stone in the Ming Dynasty is about equal to 184 catties today), the price in the Ming Dynasty is about 240-250 Wen, That is, about 0.2 taels of silver, and this proportion of rice prices, in Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, will continue to rise with the net inflow of silver in the Ming Dynasty, and when it comes to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the early years of Chongzhen, the price of rice in Nanjing will become about 1400 Wen per stone of rice, that is, about 1 tael of silver, inflation can be seen.
At present, the rice price of Daming is 240-250 Wen, and the futures rice price in Japan is 200 Wen, and Japan's export price must be earned, and it is 90% of the harvest and 10% out, and the actual rice price in the Japanese market is about 180 Wen.
In fact, even if it is normal trade, buying rice from Japan and shipping it back to China is currently profitable, not to mention a limited amount of 100,000 koku of seven-fold rice?
140 Wen bought back, 240 Wen sold.
It's just blood.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and businessmen still have concerns.
After all, although there are rumors now, the Ming Dynasty and Japan have not yet established a formal free trade relationship, and although the bargaining knives in the hands of merchants are included in the purchase of goods, they must also consider the value that they can be exchanged.
Do you want to get two 7% off futures rice vouchers first, or do you use them to chop something else? This needs to be carefully weighed.
After all, no one can say for sure what happened in the temple, and I am afraid no one knows how the imperial court decided in the end, which means that the exchange coupons for futures rice may not be exchanged for physical goods.
Moreover, Japan is an island country, because of its geographical location, it is also a risky thing to transport rice from Japan to Daming, and it was robbed if it was not good on the way.
The hostess continued to introduce these discount coupons: "These 10 futures rice discount coupons are provided by Chairman Hitomi from Port Hakata, the largest rice merchant in Kyoto, Japan, and I believe you should have heard his name, so please participate in it!" ”
For the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, Fei Fu is really not a nameless person, he represented Ashikaga Yoshimitsu a few years ago, with the mission to Nanjing, when Emperor Jianwen had no objection to tomorrow's trade, so Fei Fu and many Ming merchants have traded.
So when I heard that it was provided by Fatty, the atmosphere at the scene became a little warmer, and many people began to desperately want to have such a futures rice discount coupon.
"Port Hakata? Where is this? Xun Zhan, who was sitting in the back, asked the Jingzhou merchant who had just come back next to him curiously.
"Hakata Port was a place where Japanese envoys from the Sui, Tang, and Silla countries set sail, and I heard that during the Kamakura shogunate, it was a stronghold of trade between Japan and the Song people, and trade was particularly prosperous."
There is another sentence he didn't say, and it stands to reason that it also became a major trading place with the smugglers of the Ming Dynasty in this era.
Therefore, all the Ming merchants who had been involved in private trade with Japan had heard of Feifu and trusted the credibility he had accumulated over the decades.
After listening to the introduction of the Jingzhou businessman, Xun Zhan also secretly smacked his tongue.
He now understands that this auction was actually held by one of the largest businessmen in Japan, and in this way, this auction is definitely the grandest in recent years, after all, even so many imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty came to support it in person.
"Are you planning to shoot it?" The Jingzhou merchant exchanged a look with Liu Fuchun in the front row, and when he saw him thoughtful, he asked.
Xun Zhan waved his hand crampedly: "Forget it, I'm not interested, besides, my identity is not suitable." ”
One stone of rice, a net income of 100 Wen, 10,000 stones, a net income of 1,000,000 Wen, a futures rice discount coupon photographed here, about 840 taels of silver, is Xun Zhan five years without eating or drinking to save.
said that he was not interested, Xun Zhan actually had no money, no bargaining knife, and no channel for transporting goods, where did he not want to make this money?
Poor Xun Zhan is already a middle-to-high-level civil official, but when he managed the guild with the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, there was no envoy to pay tribute, and he didn't make any money at all. Although Guozijian is not a Qingshui Yamen in the traditional sense, there are special departments and officials in charge of finance, and Si Ye has no chance to make money as a deputy position.
Therefore, Xun Zhan was very greedy for the position of director of the Yu Heng Qing Officials Division given by Wang Jing.
After all, since a man has power, how can he still let himself live a poor life?
Just when Xun Zhan was regretting in his heart, the businessman surnamed Liu suddenly came to the back row and found him, and said with a flattering face: "Fang Cai didn't know the prestige of Lord Xun, so he was rude." ”
Then Liu Fuchun whispered that he planned to do this Japanese rice transaction with Jingzhou merchants, and invited Xun Zhan to put up his name to help them avoid some trouble in the official face, for which Liu Fuchun was willing to pay a lot of Bing Jing.
"That's not good, is it?" Xun Yan hesitated.
"Don't worry, Lord Xun, we will never use your name to do anything else, it's just that we don't know a person as big as you. Finally, we are fortunate in three lives. ”
Xun Zhan thought about his purse that was deflated by Cao Run's meal, and then thought about the life he lived, and felt that this trip was purely an unexpected gain, and it would not affect the teacher's task, so he opened his mouth and whispered:
"I don't want to do a one-shot deal, except for Bingjing, I will give some silver for this rice, and I want my share."
Liu Fuchun exchanged glances with the Jingzhou businessman, and seemed to be a little entangled, after all, the other party said that it was silver, but it was only symbolic, but when the money was finally divided, it was definitely not symbolic, but in the end, the two nodded and agreed, and agreed to visit Xunhan's mansion.
And when Xun Zhan thought he had found a way to make money, the bidding for futures rice discount coupons became more and more intense.
Because it is ten coupons, it is auctioned ten times, and this kind of game is destined to no one can control the scene, some people want to strike first, and some people are waiting for others to shoot the front first, and pick up the cheap one in the back.
It's a pity that there are many people with these two ideas, and it is inevitable that they will bump into a few pairs together, and as the number of futures rice discount coupons is getting smaller and smaller, the competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the smell of gunpowder is a little stronger.
And seeing that it was the last one, Xun Zhan couldn't sit still.
"50 bargaining knives? It's insane! Won't you shoot tomorrow? Who is this? ”
"Looking at the noodles, it shouldn't be a local in Nanjing, otherwise I wouldn't dare to call out such a high price to the son of Jin Su."
"I know him, the Jin merchants from the north should also have a deal with the Mongols, since he opened his mouth to call out such a high price, it seems that it is indeed inevitable, I don't know who can compete with him?"
"Hey, are you kidding you when you're 'King Banshan'?"
The people around him talked about it, and the hostess on the stage also smiled and looked at the short and fat man, who had a smug look on his face, and then he looked around again, looking at the other people defiantly.
was provoked by this person, and several other people couldn't bear it anymore.
"Ninety-nine dollars."
Wang Zhenqing didn't blink an eyelid.
The short and fat man stared at the hostess on the stage with angry eyes, gritted his teeth, and said.
"100 knives! I'll take 100 dollars! ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Zhenqing, and the meaning was self-evident.
It is true that Wang Zhenqing is the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, but this Jin merchant also has a background, and he followed several Hou Bobai of the Ulzhou Department under the Qiguo Gongqiu Fumen, and the armed caravan under his command flew up with the Mongols to do border trade, which belonged to the type of eating on both sides.
"This" The hostess on the stage hesitated, not knowing what to do, she knew that these people in the audience all had backgrounds and forces, and if she provoked them, she would definitely not be able to afford it.
At this time, a voice suddenly came out: "I made 108 knives." ”
It was Liu Fuchun in the distance.
He didn't have so many knives, but Li Zengzhi, who instructed him, did.
Hearing Liu Fuchun's words, everyone around him, including the hostess, was stunned, and then looked over with a shocked face.
According to the unspoken rules of the auction, the businessmen who sit on the second floor and sit in the front are powerful, but I didn't expect this businessman sitting in the back to also have the ability, which is too arrogant, and the price is 108 dollars.
At this time, someone whispered a few words in Wang Zhenqing's ear, and Wang Zhenqing nodded.
"Damn, did you deliberately get along with me!" The stocky man muttered with a gloomy face.
Wang Zhenqing glanced at him, took a sip of tea slowly, and said indifferently: "I don't think anyone can get along with anyone, he is out of 108, you are out of 109, fair and just!" ”
It's a pity that this Jin merchant doesn't have so many bargaining knives in his hand.
The hostess smiled awkwardly, and then began to count.
"Three, two, one, the last seven-fold futures Japanese rice discount coupon deal."
Soon, this last discount coupon came to Liu Fuchun's hands, which made the small and medium-sized businessmen and wealthy citizens who came in to visit the area sigh.
——————
When night falls, the lights come on, and the city of Nanjing is silent.
In the mansion, Xun Zhan was sitting leisurely in the hall drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
Next to the table, there are a few pieces of calligraphy and painting that have been taken out, and on the other side, there is a box of porcelain, which obviously adds up to some value.
"Master, what do you think of these things?"
Madame stood in the middle of her body and asked in a low voice.
"Collect it first."
Xun Zhan said casually, then closed it with his own hands, and carried him to the bottom of his bed with his wife.
"Remember, if there are more in the future, you should put them in different categories and don't get confused."
Madame is still a little worried: "Master, will this be impeached by the imperial history?" ”
Cao Run's Xun sneered, but he didn't say anything.
Then Xun Zhan took out a few taels of silver and stuffed them into his wife's hand: "Add some silk and satin, is there enough clothes to wear?" If it's not enough, let the embroiderer do more. ”
Madame nodded, then shook her head again: "That's it for now!" I'm still a little scared. ”
"You go back to your room and sleep first, I still have something to do."
Xun Yan stared at the moon door outside the hall.
After a while, a servant ran in.
"Master, someone is looking for you outside."
Xun Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He didn't ask what was going on, but walked straight out of the hall door and glanced in the direction of the courtyard wall. Sure enough, there was a carriage parked there.
A lantern hung at the front of the carriage to banish some of the darkness.
In the carriage sat a man, seemingly with his eyes closed, dressed rather plainly, with a heavy robe.
Xun Yan instructed: "I'll go back when I go." ”
Soon after Xun Yan got into the car, the groom pulled the reins of the horses, and the carriage moved slowly.
His mentor Wang Jing was sitting inside.
"How's it going today?"
Not long after the carriage started, Wang Jing took the initiative to ask questions, and his words were very calm.
"I met Cao Run in the Criminal Division, I didn't talk about it, I also went to the auction site"
Xun Zhan was also neat, and after omitting the matter of his own transactions with the merchants, he told the original story of what happened at the auction site.
Then the two fell silent.
The carriage continued to move forward, and I don't know how long it took before I heard Wang Jing's slightly tired voice.
"Jiang Xinghuo's response was indeed beyond my expectations."
At this, he paused, and his face became very ugly, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"So this time I have to take my chances."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Jing opened his eyes and looked out of the car curtain: "[Taizu's death day] I heard some rumors. ”
"Teacher, do you want to participate?"
"Yes."
Wang Jing sighed: "I'm almost at the age of Zhishi, if I can't go further, I'm afraid there will be no better opportunity in the future, although the public opinion of the folk Shilin has fallen to change the law, but after all, the temple has not yet been decided, and the examination method has begun to be initially tried in various temples in Beijing, not to mention the standards of the examination, that is, the rules of doing things, how much resentment has been aroused?" ”
"But Your Majesty has already decided to change the law, why should you care about this?"
"You don't understand at all."
Wang Jing snorted coldly, obviously extremely tired of this kind of words: "Do you think this is a simple livelihood, or a position?" This relationship even involves the entire pattern of the court, and a new opportunity is needed to turn the tables, and [Taizu's Death Day] can just take advantage of it. ”
He turned his head to look out the window, his eyes revealing a certain look of determination: "The only chance." ”
(End of chapter)
