Xu Ruyi's expression of loyalty didn't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang really believed it or didn't take it to heart, but he still nodded with satisfaction on the surface: "You eunuchs, you are inferior in this world, only by relying on the majesty of my heavenly family can you have the ability to live, remember your own words." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Ruyi to show his loyalty again, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and came to Xu Ruyi. Looking at Xu Ruyi's trembling appearance under his feet, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Jinyiwei's incident this time reminded me that people are selfish and unreliable, and dogs are the same, maybe they will turn around and bite their owners for which bone." I decided to establish another yamen, which was called the Dongzhi Factory, which was set up outside the Dongzhi Gate, and had the same function as the Jinyi Guard, to investigate the affairs of the world, report to me, and take the expenses from my inner treasury. It's up to you to be the first person to be the supervisor of the East Investigation Factory, are you willing?"

"Slaves and maids are willing to serve Your Majesty. Xu Ruyi suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried to calm her voice: "I'm just worried that the slave maid is young and ignorant and incompetent." ”

"Oh, yes, and I know modesty. Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed a smile on his face: "Get up." ”

Seeing Xu Ruyi stand up from the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang first stared at Xu Ruyi's face carefully for a while, and saw that he didn't find any excitement or ambition to get the right, so he continued: "The idea of the investigation factory was also only had by me not long ago, and now that the place has been selected and is being built, I am not in a hurry. You still have the ability, one by one, one by one, I see it in my eyes. It's just that this house is easy to build, but the people below are not easy to find. After that, I can give you 300 soldiers to deal with emergencies, but your errand is not as good as going into battle, and the people you want are not a group of big soldiers. You go and find some competent men first, and then come to me, you can't wait for the candidates, you can just grasp it yourself, and as for the rest of the men, I will prepare them for you. Now I will not give you any will, you first put up the shelf, and then when the time is right, I will make the world clear. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said very slowly, and Xu Ruyi listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"You are still too young now, and you are not experienced enough, I decided to put you next to Yunwen to be a companion first, and you go out of the palace to do your things in the morning on weekdays, and go back to the palace to Yunwen to study with him and listen to the teachings of the sage. There should be plenty of time for two times, and you can't make a mistake. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be finished, Xu Ruyi thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, are you just studying with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?"

"Hahahaha. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "I know that you look loyal, but in fact, you have a lot of flowers and intestines inside." ”

"Your Majesty, slave maid... Xu Ruyi was about to argue, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "No need to explain, if you were a stupid person, I wouldn't need you." The most important thing in front of the truth is a true word. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice, and then said: "I originally wanted Yunwen to follow Huang Zicheng to learn some of the cheeky methods of Confucianism, but I didn't expect him to take those rotten words in the book seriously, so how can I rest assured that the world will be in his hands?"

When you are studying with you in the East Palace, in front of Huang Zicheng, it's best not to say anything, don't do anything, if you have anything to say to Yun in private, understand?"

"Yes. ”

"Remember, I asked you to accompany Yunwen to study, not to make you a nerd like him, but to liven Yunwen's mind, understand?"

"Yes. ”

"Give you a day, you go outside and settle down your friends, and then go back to the East Palace to find Yunwen. Zhu Yuanzhang said, turned back to Lao Zhang and instructed: "You take him down and arrange it." ”

Lao Zhang nodded yes, and then went out with Xu Ruyi.

"Lao Liu, do you say that what Xu Ruyi said is true?" In the empty hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded.

"The slave doesn't know. Lao Liu's voice came from a corner, but he heard his voice and didn't see him: "But the slave maid has never heard of any martial arts that makes people suddenly grow up." ”

"In this way, it seems that the theory of Jindan immortality is not groundless. Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and then asked, "You said that in this world, where is the Taoist priest with the highest mana?"

This time, Lao Liu did not answer immediately, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, but waited patiently.

After a long time, Lao Liu Cai said: "The Xuanmen of the world should be the first to push Longhu Mountain and Zhongnan Mountain to be the Quanzhen faction. ”

"Isn't there a Wudang faction?" Zhu Yuanzhang said curiously.

"The Wudang faction is still a martial arts sect in general, only Zhang Zhenren has attained the Tao, and has not passed on immortal arts, and his disciples only temper their own martial arts and cultivate their self-cultivation. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and turned his attention back to the fold in his hand.

When Xu Ruyi came out of the palace, he was already in the middle of nowhere. In fact, the conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even take half an hour, even if you count the process of Lao Zhang telling him about the silver allocation in the inner treasury later, and the process of getting familiar with the location of the East Palace later, it was almost the same when it came to three quarters before and after. After that, Lao Zhang let him go out of the palace alone, but Xu Ruyi was struggling on the way to Dongzhimen, looking for a remote and dark place to walk, and standing for a while from time to time. originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him such a big errand, and those palace stewards like Li Caiyu or Liu Xiaogan in Tianmen would come over to say something, but as a result, they didn't seize the "opportunity" given by Xu Ruyi for almost an hour, which made Xu Ruyi roll his eyes widely.

When he came in the morning, he didn't care, but now standing at the gate of the palace, Xu Ruyi saw that not far in front of the palace gate, a large number of buildings had been bulldozed, and the craftsmen were shuttling back and forth, busy and in full swing, and there were two old men holding a scroll in their hands, pointing and discussing something from time to time.

'Outside the Dongzhi Gate, it's really outside the Dongzhi Gate, it is worthy of Zhu Yuanzhang, with Tianxian in his mouth, and his words follow the law. Xu Ruyi was secretly speechless.

The reason why I said this was because Xu Ruyi vaguely remembered that this place seemed to be someone's mansion, and he didn't remember exactly who it was. There is no spare place near the palace, and every inch of land is valuable. But Zhu Yuanzhang vacated such a large place with one sentence, which fully reflects the charm of power.

Xu Ruyi was about to step forward, not far away under the green shade, a short and fat man greeted this side, with a collapsed nose, small eyes, and a short figure, Yun Zheng was still as ugly as before, but he had a sword hanging from his waist, and there was a scar on his right cheek, and his face was smiling, with a hint of weirdness in the celebration.

Xu Ruyi looked at Yun Zheng, then shook his head without a trace, and walked forward.

Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't say anything, but followed not far away. He knew very well that Xu Ruyi must have seen himself just now, and the movement of shaking his head was also aimed at himself. Since Xu Ruyi didn't recognize each other on the spot, let's follow first.
