Inside the Royal Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hoe and was weeding the sweet potato field.

Ever since he planted the sweet potato field, he has been going around every day.

Hoeing, fertilizing, and watching the sweet potato seedlings grow day by day.

Zhu Yunxi stood aside and didn't go over to help.

At his current age, he is still very reluctant to swing a hoe.

It's basically impossible to talk about helping, so don't add to the chaos.

There is not much grass in the field, and the area is not large, although Lao Zhu is old, he is in good spirits today, and he is more energetic to work.

In a few moments, it was all cleaned up.

"Grandpa!" Zhu Yunxi walked over and handed a towel to Lao Zhu to wipe his sweat.

"Hmm!" Lao Zhu took the towel, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and sighed: "When you are old, you sweat profusely when you do some work, and you won't sweat when you do such a thing before." ”

Zhu Yunxi grinned and said, "Grandpa Huang is old and strong." Many people of your age, like your old man, can't even walk. ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang is only sixty now.

In the era of advanced science and technology in later generations, that is, when he had just reached the age of retirement.

Many old men of this age are still energetic, and even young people can't compare to them.

But in this day and age, sixty years old is already relatively old.

After all, at this time, it is still said that "life is rare for seventy years".

Being able to live to the age of 70 has been very rare since ancient times.

Sixty years old is, of course, considered an old age.

Decreased energy, physical weakness, or even bedridden.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily and asked, "What did you learn from this incident?" ”

"Grandpa Huang has no last resort, he has a plan, and everything is under control." Zhu Yunxi was amazed.

Lao Zhu's methods are really clever.

It is not visible, and it is silent.

Before the success, there was not the slightest trace to be seen.

All forces were played by him.

Even at first, he didn't come back to his senses.

Only when you think about it can you get a glimpse of the wonder.

"Don't just think about picking nice words to flatter us."

Lao Zhu glared at him and said, "You have now been appointed as the prince, and you will be in charge of the Ming Dynasty in the future." ”

"Although you are smart, you are different from other things."

"The inch is long, the ruler is short."

"Look at Lan Yu, charge on the battlefield, invincible."

"But in the court, Huang Zicheng just said a few clever words, and let Lan Yu use it for him."

Huang Zicheng went to Lanyu Mansion to hide it from Lao Zhu.

Otherwise, the spies of Jinyiwei should apologize with death.

Huang Zicheng also knows this.

In his opinion, there must be someone staring in front of the blue jade gate.

Instead of sneaking around and dressing up, it's better to go in a bright light.

Anyway, when I was chatting with Lan Yu, there were only two people present.

Even if Jin Yiwei has his hands and eyes, it is impossible to know what they are talking about.

But he forgot that with Lao Zhu's shrewdness, he didn't need to know the specific content of their conversation at all, and he could deduce it.

Huang Zicheng always thought that he read a lot and had a high strategy.

But in fact, every time I do something, I am always not careful enough, or I simply think about it completely wrong.

Compared to those truly brilliant strategists, he was still 108,000 miles away.

Zhu Yunxi listened quietly and nodded slightly.

"Grandpa Huang, do you want to take the test?"

"Yes, tell me." Lao Zhu walked to the gazebo next to him and sat down.

After working for a while, he's a little tired now.

With a wave of his hand, the palace maids and eunuchs all retreated.

Zhu Yunxi walked up to Lao Zhu and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang's layout this time is just one of the ways to make his grandson a prince. ”

"Oh?" After Lao Zhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

looked at Zhu Yunxi, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and a taste of appreciation.

"This time, there can be such a big momentum, civil officials, honorable people, and our own people are all involved."

He said as he observed Lao Zhu's reaction.

After all, he had already mentioned his own family in his words, although he did not name him, but he was still a little uncertain about Lao Zhu's attitude towards it.

Do you want to cover the lid, or do you really let him spread it out?

Seeing that Lao Zhu's expression was not abnormal, he smiled and encouraged, so he continued.

"Grandpa Huang wants those people to jump out, so that they can see the forces in the court clearly."

This level of meaning may be more important than building momentum to make him the prince.

"It's for you to see clearly." Lao Zhu corrected the mistakes in his words.

"See, these people keep saying that they are loyal and patriotic, but in fact, everyone is planning their own little calculations in their hearts."

"If we directly say that you will be appointed as the emperor's grandson, those civil officials will dare to admonish each other with death, so that we will not be able to step down."

"Now, let's use our strength to make them think that we can bring you down, and they all jump out and kill them one by one, and then we will fight them again, so that they can't talk about their suffering."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "The emperor's grandfather is clever. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, did not correct him, accepted his sycophancy, and continued: "The world scolds us for being too strict with officials, but you have also seen that we have killed so many people, and we can't stop them from forming a party for personal gain and fighting for power in the court." ”

"If we relax a little longer, I'm afraid the court will be a mess, and the country will not be a country."

He paused, and said with a smile: "Although you are now appointed as the prince, the prestige of the people is also high, and the limelight is also prosperous, but you have no power, you don't have your own descendants, and your foundation is still unstable." ”

Zhu Yunxi grinned and said, "If there are not a few forces in the court, there are no factions, then it is really strange." ”

"Grandpa Huang let his grandson be the prince, and his grandson should let them all be used by me."

"The world is for the public, and grace comes from above. Daming has the emperor's grandfather in control, if the grandson learns from those people, also gangs up, and appoints private individuals, that is to disappoint the emperor's grandfather's high hopes, and it is also a great unfilial piety. ”

These words are half true and half false.

Zhu Yunxi really felt that there was no one at hand, and he was constrained everywhere.

It still takes a few cronies to get things done.

But in front of Lao Zhu, he said that he wanted to cultivate his cronies, and he was not so stupid.

Although Lao Zhu's previous words seemed to guide and even encourage him to establish his own power.

But Zhu Yunxi still sensed that this was wrong.

Lao Zhu may be tempting.

The heart of the emperor is as deep as the sea.

At this time, he was tempted and deliberately guided, and he easily jumped in.

This is not even designed by Lao Zhu Youxin, but as an emperor, he has long been accustomed to treating others like this.

It is also naturally used on Zhu Yunxi.

Guide digging pits, don't think much about it.

This is also where Lao Zhu is clever.

Only in this way can he climb from a beggar to a powerful empire.

Without this scheming, he would not have been able to establish the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

"Good! Xi'er, you can have this kind of knowledge, and it is not in vain that the emperor's grandfather has worked hard to teach. ”

Zhu Yunxi sighed secretly in his heart.

Dealing with Lao Zhu is really a matter of being energetic at all times.

If one doesn't cope well, it will be out of control.

In this way, Zhu Yunwen pretended to be loyal and benevolent, which is really a very good choice.

No matter what, as long as you remember the words "loyalty, benevolence and righteousness", it will be very different.

On the contrary, it is easy to deal with Lao Zhu.

He can always be valued by Lao Zhu, although there are factors of outstanding acting skills, but it is estimated that it is inseparable from his choice to take the road of "loyalty, benevolence and righteousness".

Otherwise, with Lao Zhu's shrewdness, no matter how good Zhu Yunwen's acting skills are, he will inevitably be seen through.

And he is different.

He set up a talented and intelligent character for himself.

The difficulty of acting in front of Lao Zhu suddenly rose several levels.

Does this count as a pit for yourself?

But at this time, there is no regret medicine!

"Grandpa Huang is old, and his health is not as good as before."

Lao Zhu said slowly: "You have dealt with Bu Sibei, Wu Wanggeng, and even the businessmen's strike, all of them are very disciplined, Lao Cheng is stable, and he can be reused." ”

"Now you have been made a prince. We want you to supervise the country and handle state affairs. ”
