"Your Majesty, I think this matter can only be done by Li Li, and the court does not need to get involved!"
Liu Bowen's words directly made Xu Da feel his scalp numb.
Although I just said that Li Jin conquered a country in one county, that was just talk.
Do you really want Li Jin to do it?
Doesn't that mean Li was allowed to go in and die? Even if the situation in Shanghu County is complicated, how can three thousand people wipe out the Japanese country with millions of people?
This is simply the most ridiculous thing Xu Da has ever heard.
But what shocked Xu Da even more was that Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously.
Are you sure you're not kidding me? Xu Da only felt that his outlook on life had been impacted.
If Li Jin has the ability to destroy millions of people by three thousand, please be sure to introduce him to your army.
Now I am in short supply of such people, and the Mongolian barbarians in the north are in short supply of such talents and lessons.
But won’t anyone stop this ridiculous thing?
"Bo Wen means to let Li Jin handle it alone, and the court will pretend it doesn't know anything about it."
"If Li Jin fails, Li Jin will be pulled out to take the blame."
"Because of his bold behavior and violation of the imperial edict, innocent people lost their lives. This way he will not lose the face of the imperial court."
"If Li Jin succeeds, then the imperial court will come forward and publicize the matter."
"It is said that Li Jin had already received the secret support of the imperial court, and then he annihilated the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop."
"Are we right?"
Liu Bowen never thought about letting Li Jin take the blame. He just felt that this was the lowest price.
Regardless of success or failure, the court will lose nothing.
But seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes staring at him, Liu Bowen could only nod helplessly.
"If that's the case, then the matter is settled."
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was loud and clear, and he decided to give Li Jin a chance.
If Li Jin can really accomplish such a feat, then he will promote Li Jin.
But if it can't be completed, then Zhu Yuanzhang will accept the property of Li Jin's family.
No matter he wins or loses, Zhu Yuanzhang will not lose.
But Xu Da underneath was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that such an important matter really had to be left to a young boy like Li Jin.
This was really child's play, Xu Da immediately asked:
"Sir, do you need to think about this matter again?"
"Xu Da, if you have time, go to Shanghu County and have a look, and you will understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not explain it. If he had not been to Shanghu County, he would not believe it.
But when he really comes back from Shanghu County, I'm afraid Xu Da will be shocked beyond measure.
Xu Da didn't say anything when he saw this, but secretly made up his mind to go to Shanghu County to have a look.
Otherwise, he would feel like he was no longer in the same circle as Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.
Zhu Biao still remembered Li Jin's instructions and interjected:
"Uncle Xu, there will be an investment promotion event in Shanghu County at the end of this month."
"If you have time, you can go and take a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Zhu Biao, his eyes full of doubts.
Investment promotion activities? Why didn't you hear that Zhu Biao came back to mention it to you?
What the hell is Li Jin doing?
When Zhu Biao saw Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, he just laughed twice and touched his head awkwardly.
Xu Da wanted to ask again, but Zhu Yuanzhang said directly:
"Okay, let's end this matter first. If you have nothing to do, go back first."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want Xu Da to participate in any investment activities.
If Li Jin really wanted to hold any investment promotion activities, he would have to do it all by himself.
Xu Da glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang strangely and had no choice but to leave.
Liu Bowen followed Xu Da and said goodbye.
After both of them left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao seriously and asked:
"Biao'er, didn't we tell you not to let these powerful people get involved in Li Jin's business?"
"Why did he need to tell Xu Da about the investment promotion event he was going to hold?"
"Can you just tell us no?"
Of course Zhu Biao remembered it, but after enjoying so many benefits from Li Jin this time, he really couldn't refuse Li Jin's request.
"Before I could report to my father, my father called Uncle Xu and Liu Bowen in."
Zhu Biao could only pretend to be innocent, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and continued:
"Before Li Jin left, he told Erchen that he wanted to set up a chamber of commerce and asked Erchen to help promote it."
"When the time comes, I can give my son a priority opportunity to participate in the company."
"My son felt that it was nothing serious, so he said it casually. I hope my father won't be surprised."
Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin, Li Jin actually wanted to establish a chamber of commerce?
Could it be that he obtained the royal approval from the Royal Chamber of Commerce and wanted to establish a Royal Chamber of Commerce?
So what is this Royal Chamber of Commerce planning to do?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know, but thinking about Li Jin's earning ability, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this guy must be thinking about how to make money again.
"You don't need to talk about this anymore. We will take you to see it when the time comes."
"We want to see what Li Jin is up to?"
Thinking about his previous conversation with Xu Da, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Xu Da was not interested in business matters.
As long as Xu Da doesn't talk nonsense and Zhu Biao keeps it secret, then he will be the only one to participate in Li Jin's investment promotion activities.
Why share a profitable business with others?
Wouldn't it be better for us to swallow the fart in bed alone?
Zhu Biao was still thinking about Li Jin at this time. He did not leave, but asked aloud:
"Father, what should we do about Li Jin?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and then said:
"Go and see Xuan Hu Weiyong."
Zhu Biao didn't understand why he summoned Hu Weiyong, but it must be related to Li Jin, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Father, do you want Hu Weiyong to drop the accusation against Li Jin?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said:
"It's not a revocation. You'll know when Hu Weiyong comes."
Soon, Hu Weiyong hurriedly ran into the palace. The moment he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he knelt on his knees and paid homage with a big salute:
"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, is here to see the Emperor."
Zhu Yuanzhang had already stipulated that ministers could bow their hands when they saw the emperor.
But Hu Weiyong would still pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang every time he saw him to show his respect.
"Get flat."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly:
"Hu Weiyong, I called you here this time because I want to talk to you about Li Jin."
Hu Weiyong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang knew about his and others' conspiracy, and couldn't help but become a little nervous:
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"We are still investigating Li Jin's matter."
"But according to our investigation, what you said about Li Jin's intention to rebel does not seem to be the case."
"Even what you said about Li Jin bribing the Yiwu County Magistrate is false. I wonder if you have anything to say?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very calm, as if he was chatting with Hu Weiyong, kind and friendly.
But when Hu Weiyong heard about Zhexi, he felt his hair standing on end. He thought Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to keep Li Jin, so he spoke for Li Jin.
"Your Majesty, it is clear that I reported this matter to Li Jin after hearing what the people of Yiwu said and the evidence from the county magistrate of Yiwu."
"If the emperor has found out, I am willing to be punished."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Hu Weiyong's attitude. He did not force himself to make excuses, nor did he insist on fighting Li Jin to the death.
"That's not what we meant. We are still sending people to investigate these things."
"I'm just telling you, don't cause trouble for Li Jin in the recent period, and you should collect more evidence yourself."
"If you find real evidence about Li Jin, you can report it to us. There is no need to tell the court."
"When the time comes, we will naturally bring Li Jin to justice, but now, we can't."
"Do you understand what we mean?"
Hu Weiyong immediately understood. It seemed that Li Jin was doing something important and he couldn't be killed yet.
You have to wait for him to finish the job before deciding whether to kill or not.
But your evidence must be complete. Whether to kill or not to kill depends on the emperor's wishes.
But last time, he didn't say hello to the emperor in advance, which made it difficult for the emperor, so he got angry.
Hu Weiyong quickly figured out the key and hurriedly said:
"I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely hand over the evidence to you next time and let the Emperor decide."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, it would save trouble to talk to smart people.
"Okay, you go down, remember to collect evidence yourself, don't listen to hearsay."
After Hu Weiyong bowed and saluted, he turned and left the study room.
