Guangjuxuan is one of the most famous restaurants in Yingtian City.
It can be said that all the powerful come and go here, and the rich come and go.
This is where the top dignitaries in Yingtian City usually gather. Many wealthy businessmen like to take their children to eat here, hoping to meet the noble person in this life.
After all, the status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty was really low. If they could find a backer, they would not only be able to protect their wives and children, but they might also be able to make further progress.
Of course, these businessmen like to come here, and they also want to hear about any recent developments in the court?
After all, what businessmen value is business opportunities. Often, if you are one step ahead of others, you can earn dozens or even hundreds of times in profits.
The market often rewards those with foresight the most.
With just such a Guangjuxuan, the daily income can be said to be a lot of money.
But even so, no one dares to take action here. This shows that the power behind Guangjuxuan is unfathomable.
Guangjuxuan has a five-story building, which is second to none even in Yingtian City.
Being on the fifth floor, you can overlook the entire Dongcheng area of Yingtian City. The feeling of seeing all the mountains below often makes people forget to leave.
Of course, the box on the fifth floor is also the most expensive box, and often only the real rich and powerful are qualified to reserve the box.
Even so, there is an endless stream of guests on the fifth floor every day.
However, there seems to be something unusual today. The fifth floor, which used to be crowded with people, is now empty, and all reservations made by anyone have been canceled or postponed.
No matter who you are, no one person is allowed to be left in any box and all boxes will be emptied.
Even though some people may have complaints, under the power of the people behind Guangjuxuan, they can only shut up.
Soon, night fell, and Li Jin went to the appointment as agreed.
After confirming Li Jin's identity, Guangjuxuan's waiters became more hospitable and led Li Jin slowly up to the fifth floor.
This scene fell into the eyes of those who were interested, and they were immediately shocked.
Judging from Li Jin's appearance, he is only in his early twenties. With such power at this age, I am afraid that Li Jin's future will be unlimited.
These people began to have Li Jin's idea in their minds. If they could find such a person as a backer, they were afraid that their business would also prosper.
Li Jin ignored the eyes of others and quickly arrived at a private room under the guidance of the waiter.
As soon as the door opened, he saw that the room was already full of his acquaintances.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Xu Da were all present, which made Li Jin very happy.
"Old Huang, long time no see."
Li Jin was not polite and sat down on the prepared seat, pouring himself a glass of wine without anyone noticing.
"You guys are so well-informed. I just entered the city and you actually knew about it. It's really amazing."
Li Jin gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up, but Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Li Jin and said straight to the point:
"Li Jin, we heard that you made Mr. Song Liansong, the Minister of Rites, so angry that he fainted?"
When Li Jin heard this, he laughed twice and said with some embarrassment:
"Master Song is so stingy. I just gave him a small suggestion, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Can't you blame me?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to spit in his face. A small suggestion?
When Song Lian was still young, he was pointed at and scolded by Li Jin. This kid also said that he was not worthy of being the Minister of Rites and asked him to retire and return to his hometown. This was simply a naked insult.
I think Song Lian worked conscientiously under Zhu Yuanzhang and did not dare to be careless.
Whether it was the imperial examination or the enthronement ceremony, Song Lian was meticulous, but he was said to be worthless and unworthy of a son by Li Jin, a bastard.
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he couldn't help but said:
"You pointed at Mr. Song's nose and scolded him. Is this just a small suggestion?"
"Do you know how many disciples Master Song has? It won't be long before someone comes looking for you."
"When the time comes, don't be beaten to death by Song Lian's disciples."
Li Jin asked with some guilt:
"No way."
Zhu Biao was also furious and said:
"What can't!"
"Master Song is highly virtuous, knowledgeable and talented, and is famous all over the world."
"This Yingtian Mansion is full of Master Song's disciples. When these scholars find out about this tomorrow, they will probably want to tear you alive."
"You said you were fine, why did you provoke Master Song?"
Li Jin was also helpless and said:
"How can I provoke him? Song Lian is really bullying people too much."
"He was born as a great Confucian, but in the end he insisted on applying Confucianism to diplomacy."
"The Confucian approach is okay for cultivating one's character and harmonizing one's family, but putting benevolence and righteousness between countries is simply idiotic behavior."
"Countries are intrigued by each other and are trying every possible means to seek benefits from other countries."
"If you let someone like Mr. Song engage in diplomacy, I'm afraid he will be sold out and still counting the money."
"Master Song's thoughts are too naive and too ridiculous."
"For the benefit of our Ming Dynasty and the safety of the people of Ming Dynasty, I have to advise Mr. Song to retire and return to his hometown to take care of himself."
"You are judging me, am I wrong?"
Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were all speechless. After all, to a certain extent, what Li Jin said was not wrong.
It is absolutely no problem for Song Lian to hold some ceremonies and cultural gatherings, and he will definitely make them lively and lively for you.
But it is indeed inappropriate for him to engage in diplomacy.
In fact, this is not to blame Li Jin, but Zhu Yuanzhang should be blamed. If Zhu Yuanzhang had not insisted on summoning Song Lian to discuss matters, this kind of thing would not have happened.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking about Song Lian and asked Li Jin instead:
"Li Jin, you just said that there is intrigue between countries. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"After all, there are so many vassal countries in the Ming Dynasty, and the countries get along very friendly with each other. There is no intrigue between each other, right?"
Li Jin rolled his eyes and said:
"That's because you have a knife in your hand. Who dares to play tricks on you?"
"Isn't this always the case when the Chinese nation was strong since ancient times?"
"When the Chinese nation was extremely powerful, the surrounding countries all welcomed us with smiles."
"But as long as the Chinese nation weakens, these people will turn their backs in an instant, and then be the first to raise the butcher's knife and swing it at us."
"These countries that usually seem to have smiling faces are actually the most ruthless."
"For example, Korea in Liaodong is a descendant of Goguryeo. Are there many crimes that Goguryeo committed against the Chinese people in history?"
"Wodao may look relatively honest now, but what about hundreds of years from now?"
"Now that they are not strong enough, they dare to send Japanese pirates to invade our Ming Dynasty sea area. What will happen when they become stronger?"
"They will cause greater harm to our Chinese nation."
"In this case, if I, the Ming Dynasty, strike first and eliminate this hidden danger directly, wouldn't it be clearing up a major scourge for future generations?"
Li Jin talked eloquently, and the more he talked, the more outrageous he became.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the small Japanese island is just an island country. What threat does it pose to the Ming Dynasty?
Of all the people present, only Li Jin knew that what he said was true.
In order to avoid future tragedies, Li Jin had to put the disaster on the Japanese island first.
It would be safest to simply exterminate these despicable races on the Japanese island.
Xu Da thought for a while and then said:
"Master Li, you said you wanted to destroy the Japanese island, what are your plans?"
When Li Jin heard this, he puffed up his chest and said:
"That's natural."
"Next, the fun has just begun."
