"Stop!" Zhu Yuejun shouted, staring at Nanzhu
"How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me? Get out!"
"Yes!" Nan Zhu immediately lowered his head, glared at Zhao Xuanyi unwillingly, then turned and left the room.
Zhu Yuejun slowly put down the mirror and looked at Zhao Xuanyi
"I know you are very angry now, but you have to know that I am keeping Ye Yaoguo not because he shouldn't be killed, but because you can't kill him. If you, a son of an official, kill a relative of the emperor, your whole family and Li Yukun's family will not be able to escape! "
"If you don't stop me, no one will know!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Do you really think so? Do you think this fierce battle between you and Ye Yaoming is just the two of you? Do you know that there are so many people hiding in Ping'an City? If you don't know someone, tell me someone you know. Li Wenzhou lives there. Do you know about the Fuxiang Inn a street away?" Zhu Yuejun said in a slow and soft voice without being in a hurry.
Li Wenzhou? That young man who looks very dignified? What is he here for? Zhao Xuanyi was a little confused and looked up at Zhu Yuejun.
"One of my actions was to save you, and the other was to save the royal family's face. Let's not talk about how bad what Ye Yaoguo did this time. No matter what the royal family breaks the law, you, a son of an official, cannot punish it!" Zhao Xuanyi chuckled lightly.
"Yes, your royal family is the most just. It is not illegal to kill people and eat people without adding salt! I will make new weapons for you to enhance your fighting power. I will find a way to make vegetables that can be preserved for several years. In order to survive the cold winter Let the soldiers on the frontier have a bite of vegetables!"
"It's okay if you royal family doesn't help, but now you're still obstructing me and making everything go wrong for me, okay! Don't you like to play? I won't serve you anymore! From now on, I will help you and help Daming. I will follow yours My surname! I will resign when I return to the capital. I will go to Jiangnan, no!"
"When I leave the Ming Dynasty, I will not protect your country. I will find a deserted place and live freely for the rest of my life. I will neither do good nor bad things. I don't care about anyone! You want to go if you have the ability, but there is nothing to do. What does your death have to do with me!" Zhao Xuanyi was not polite at all and said everything in front of Zhu Yuejun!
Zhu Yuejun just sat quietly and listened to Zhao Xuanyi's angry words. He did not refute, interrupt, or even get angry. After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, Zhu Yuejun spoke.
"What? A mere bastard from the uncle's house scares you?"
"Afraid? I'm so anxious that I even dare to kill you. Who am I afraid of? I'm just disgusting. Such a disgusting country doesn't deserve me to protect it!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun with disgust and said.
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, she laughed instantly, and finally she laughed so hard that she lay on the table with tears in her eyes!
Zhao Xuanyi looked very awkward and thought to himself that the eldest princess would make him crazy by scolding her, right? Damn it? Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Xi Lan and Yan Mei
"She's crazy and it has nothing to do with me! I didn't hit her!"
"..." When the two maids saw this scene, they didn't know what to do. They had never seen the eldest princess smile like this!
Zhu Yuejun waved his hand and held back his laughter.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not crazy!" Zhu Yuejun took a deep breath to calm down, and then looked at Zhao Xuanyi
"I laugh because after all these years, someone finally said what I wanted to say!"
"Do you think I am willing to be the eldest princess? I am served like a corpse every day. I am not short of fine clothes, food, gold, silver and jewelry. But similarly, every meal you eat and every drink you drink are required. Passing them was like a drug test!"
"You can't believe everything everyone says to you, and you have to send people to investigate seriously. You don't dare to sleep too peacefully every day. You don't know whether it is really safe in the heavily guarded palace. Your Is there a killer hiding under the bed?"
"And the saddest thing is that you can't escape. You have to think about the whole country every day. The people there don't have enough to eat, and the people there have too much food and are ready to rebel! What changes have the powerful enemies outside made recently? That There are too many foreign troops!
"Those officials have been promoted recently. Have their children gotten married? What forces are behind them? Is it our faction? The area there has been hit by natural disasters again. You still have to pretend to be considerate of the people's sentiments, and then find a way to make your subordinates Officials went to the wealthy gentry to get money to help these victims!" Zhu Yuejun said this with a look of tiredness on his face.
"Sometimes I want to leave. What does this have to do with me? They never care about me, why should I care about their life and death every day? Don't you want to know why I want to keep Ye Yaoguo?"
"It's very simple. You may think that Ye Yuanzhi is the uncle of the country, so he is so famous. In fact, this is not the case. Ye Yuanzhi was originally a very powerful general of our Ming Dynasty, with 120,000 troops under his command. As for him, Being able to become the uncle of the state happened only after he became famous!"
"You killed Ye Yaoguo today. To you, it was just to vent your anger. But if Ye Yaoguo is really angry, no one can predict what he will do. Let's boldly assume that he defected to other countries with 120,000 troops. As a nation, we have invisibly added a very deadly enemy!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi smiled indifferently.
"He is treason? Do you dare?"
"What do you think? Ye Yuanzhi is a military general. With his own strength and his party members in the government and the public, this is a force that can subvert the entire country! Let's put it this way, what is written on the plaque at the door of your father-in-law General Li Yukun's mansion? ?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"Li Mansion!"
"Why didn't he write about General's Mansion?"
"This...?" Zhao Xuanyi didn't know how to answer for a moment! Zhu Yuejun smiled
"Because Ye Yuanzhi is also a general, what will happen if there are two general mansions in the same capital? So Ye Yuanzhi's mansion is the uncle's mansion, and Li Yukun's mansion is Li's mansion. This can be regarded as balancing the relationship between the two! "
"Do you think I have a high bed and a soft pillow, and eat well and drink hot food every day? Do you know how much vision I have to balance every day? The East and West two stations, the North and South Town Fusi, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the forces of the uncle Guo's faction, the Prince's East Palace, and several others The prince, and those civil and military ministers!" Zhu Yuejun said this, feeling as if he couldn't breathe. He took a deep breath, his face looked slightly tired.
"I have to think about what to do with these forces every day, every hour, every moment. I would like to execute them all, but in that case there will be no officials in the capital. How will the entire country function?"
"You may simply say, select from the officials below! But have you ever thought about it? From the first step in becoming an official, they have their own factions. You see this person is an upright official on the surface, but If you promote him, do you know what the people behind him will do?"
"Once this person becomes involved in corruption and bribery, don't you have any responsibility at all? You even have to guard against your employees. Not to mention the private relationship between these people, did you know that Ye Yaoguo's wife is the only daughter of a silk merchant in Jiangnan?"
"What? Ye Yaoguo still has a wife?" Zhao Xuanyi asked in surprise.
"Of course! And Ye Yuanzhi is looking for a son-in-law for his eldest daughter. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Song Yi, the son of a wealthy businessman in the capital!"
"Song Yi?" Why does this name sound so familiar to Zhao Xuanyi? Suddenly I remembered, wasn't there a person named Song Yi when I attended the book club that day?
"That's right, it's the one you're thinking of. You can imagine that Song Yi and Ye Yaoguo's wife are the two wealthy businessmen in our country. With their financial resources and Ye Yuanzhi's military strength, you are really I have to kill Ye Yaoguo. I dare say that if the emperor doesn't kill you and Ye Yuanzhi dares to rebel immediately, he will now have the strength to stand up! So I have to protect him!" Zhu Yuejun said meaningfully.
Zhu Yuejun's words completely frightened Zhao Xuanyi. He had never really competed with Ye Yuanzhi, so he didn't know that Ye Yuanzhi was not just a puppet uncle, but that he was so powerful!
"In this case, let him send troops to attack! Wala and Jurchen, let him go to the battlefield. If the soldiers are gone, won't his strength be weakened?" Zhao Xuanyi said directly.
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yuejun burst out laughing again
"Sometimes I really like your innocence!"
"Are you calling me stupid?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a frown.
"Okay, maybe you think that all generals will fight bloody battles and conquer cities and ponds when they go to the battlefield! But let me tell you, if Ye Yuanzhi goes to the battlefield, he will not be serious about it, because he knows that once his troops are outnumbered, The shortcoming is that if he becomes a bare general, then he is nothing!"
"Moreover, he will continue to ask for military pay from the imperial court, one by one, batch by batch, until the sword treasury is empty. By then, he will have enough ability to contain the imperial court. It is he who has the final say whether to fight foreign enemies. Yes, he has the final say on what he wants in the country!"
"And when he has money, he will expand his team again. Who can compete with him then? Why did the emperor transfer your father-in-law back to the capital? He is just afraid that Ye Yuanzhi will be too powerful. No one will be able to suppress him by then, and the royal family will be in danger. Yes, the Ming Dynasty is in danger! So the border can only be guarded by General Li Yukun!" After listening to Zhu Yuejun's words, Zhao Xuanyi realized that his vision was indeed too short and the layout was too small. He thought that Ye Yaoguo was just a dude who could take whatever he wanted. But he didn't know that he was the fang in a tiger's mouth. If he acted rashly and angered the tiger, the consequences would be disastrous!
Zhu Yuejun also saw the change in Zhao Xuanyi's expression and knew that he should have guessed something.
"I have said so much to you today, not because I want to insult you for not seeing the essence of the matter, but to tell you that your enemy is far more than what you see, and it is not something you can defeat alone. In the future, You must think more carefully, otherwise you will get into trouble. Even I, the eldest princess, may not be able to protect you!" After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi sighed softly, and all the anger in his heart dissipated. He was still complaining about Zhu Yuejun's treatment of him just now. Intervene, now that I think about it, it's a good thing she intervened, otherwise, Ye Yuanzhi would have threatened him with his body in anger, and it is estimated that his family, his father-in-law's family, and his family would all be implicated!
Ye Yaoguo is nothing, but his wife's financial resources plus their family's military strength, what the hell! The more Zhao Xuanyi thought about it, the more terrifying he became. He thought that by making money from doing these businesses, he could be free, or help Li Yukun, but now it seems that in the eyes of others, he would probably not even want to pick up his little money if it dropped on the ground!
Fortunately, while making money, he also made weapons and food supplies for the army. Finally, his work was not in vain. Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun and lowered his head in great respect.
"Princess, I just made a mistake! I hope you can forgive me!" Zhu Yuejun smiled when she saw Zhao Xuanyi calm down.
"It doesn't matter. If pinching me once can make you see the situation clearly and not be so impulsive, I won't be wronged! You are a smart person, smarter than many people I have met, but you have too little experience and are not shaken enough. These bad guys are shaking the foundation of the country!" Zhao Xuanyi sighed
"I will work hard!"
"One more thing, I never knew, why did you buy so many vegetables? How many years did you just say you could keep the vegetables? Let the soldiers on the border eat vegetables in winter? How did you do it?" Zhu Yuejun was curious. asked.
Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he revealed the secret. No, if you find out, will I still be able to make money?
"That... eldest princess, you heard wrong, that's not what I said!" Zhu Yuejun's eyes were full of doubts
"I believe it! I won't say any more. You can go back and rest. I have to rush back to the palace! See you in the capital!" Zhu Yuejun said with a smile.
"Rush back to the palace? Now?" Zhao Xuanyi looked outside, it was dark!
"I set off from the capital early this morning. If I can't be in my bedroom early tomorrow morning, someone will probably be restless again. If you understand me, it's not in vain for me to come. Xilan, get ready and let's go!" Zhu Yuejun said.
"yes!"
