Chapter 165: The whole picture appears
He Xi felt his hand feel heavy, but he saw that the fish had bitten the hook at some point. He Xi immediately pulled the fishing rod to pull up the fish.
He Xi's health was too poor, and he still didn't know how to use his strength. It took a while before he was able to bring the fish up under the protection of the guards. The fish is not that big, but it has a lot of power in the water.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, you have calmed down. Fishing is a technical job. If you can't relax your mind and calm down, the fish will not bite the hook."
He Xi said: "This is also my father's teaching."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since you have calmed down, let's have a good talk." As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the guards around him to retreat.
He Xi said: "I listen to your Majesty's teachings."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Fang Xiaoru has done great things in the cabinet recently, what are you going to do?"
He Xi shook her head and said, "What else can we do? We can only try to find ways to deal with them."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "How long can you take advantage of me?"
"This------" He Xi didn't know how to answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although Fang Xiaoru is the chief minister of the cabinet and holds a high position of power, how far behind are you? You are in charge of the secretary and supervisor, and there are too many things that can be used as leverage. As a result, you------"
The position of the Secretary Supervisor is that of the Ceremony Supervisor in later generations. It’s just that there are no eunuchs among the people inside. The power of the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies is actually not under the leadership of the Chief Minister of the Cabinet. The two sides have a mutual check and balance relationship.
He Xi should have a way to prevent Fang Xiaoru's idea from passing.
But He Xi didn't.
He Xi also knew that what he did this time was not very good, at least not to the satisfaction of Zhu Yuanzhang.
He Xi seemed to understand at this moment.
Because He Xi still has some moral obsession in his heart. He Xi can't do it, it's extremely hypocritical to both want and want. You cannot harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty for the sake of your own thoughts.
He Xi said: "I disappoint His Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I am already a dying person, so there is nothing I can't bear to see. It wouldn't be a big deal if you came to see me earlier. You didn't let me down, but you yourself. A mere Fang Xiaoru, You are having a hard time coping with everything, what are you going to do in the future?"
"I'm really going to choose a tombstone for myself on Purple Mountain."
He Xi opened his mouth, and what Yao Guangxiao said to him flashed in his mind. For a moment, countless thoughts came to his mind. Don't know what to say? I don’t know how to tell Zhu Yuanzhang. Are you saying that he is preparing to overthrow the Zhu Dynasty?
He said that the talents he cultivated have destroyed the Zhu family's eternal foundation. I wonder what he would think?
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you have anything to say? Forget it if you don't. Because I don't want to ask anymore."
He Xi took a deep breath and said, "I have a solution here. I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
At this moment, He Xi's mind was spinning dozens of times. He actually understood his situation. If he could do nothing, his life would enter a countdown. If he told Zhu Yuanzhang his treasonous thoughts, he would die.
There is no difference.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You have already said this, should you say it or not? Say it, should you say it or shouldn't you say it?"
He Xi said: "After much thought, there is only one way to break the situation, and that is to raise troops and march into Nanjing."
He Xi held her breath, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's thunder and rain. Waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.
But he never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Xu Da is not easy to deal with. How are you going to deal with him?"
He Xi told Zhu Yuanzhang exactly what Yao Guangxiao said and He Xi's understanding of military revolution.
After all, He Xi didn't really want to rebel. Deep down in his heart, he just regarded this matter as a threat and an answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you think that using new technology
Can an army built with new tactics defeat Xu Da? "
He Xi was silent for a while and said: "Yes. I admit that Duke Wei is the best general in the world, but Duke Wei is not in good health and mentally weak. I have seen Duke Wei's energy during his illness. A big battle. Come down, I'm afraid the Duke of Wei will have something he can't bear to say. Therefore, if I fight with Duke Wei, I don't have to win, I just need to maintain it."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are not afraid that I will kill you. Eliminate hidden dangers for future generations."
"Afraid, of course." He Xi said: "No one in this world is afraid of death. However, life and death are ordinary things, but there are always some things in this world that transcend life and death. Father, I have been cared for for more than ten years and allowed me to I am a general and a prime minister. With today's status, I have done things I have never done before, and seen unprecedented scenery. Life is very long, but the life of a mediocre person is completely different from my life. Life is not just about length. When I look back on these years, it’s not in vain.”
These words are both true and false.
To be honest, He Xi was actually very grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although it is said that there has always been a subtle relationship between He Xi and Zhu Yuanzhang. But after so many years, the two have cooperated tacitly. In the Ming Dynasty, the only one who could understand He Xi best was Zhu Yuanzhang.
Similarly, Zhu Yuanzhang originally had some thoughts and techniques that were incompatible with this era. In addition, the books brought by He Xi had a huge influence on Zhu Yuanzhang and made Zhu Yuanzhang think that no ordinary person could catch up. The only one who could understand Zhu Yuanzhang in many aspects was He Xi.
It's also a lie.
Don't know why. As He Xi spoke, he remembered the meeting with Zhu Yuanzhang a long time ago. At that time, He Xi knew that it was impossible to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang, and when facing Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he had done something wrong, it was better to confess than to hide. Moreover, it is impossible for ordinary people to hide anything under Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
Therefore, what He Xi said to Zhu Yuanzhang is almost all true. But the purpose is to play the emotional card, hoping to remind Zhu Yuanzhang of all the previous incidents and save his own life.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while and said: "There is a box at the back. There is a combination lock on the box, which is three sixes. Just open it."
He Xi followed Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions and picked up a wooden box with a wheel on it. There are numbers engraved on the wheel. He Xi dialed all three numbers to six, only to hear a crisp sound inside.
He Xi opened the box.
He Xi then took out a piece of paper from the box.
He Xi then looked at the words above. The words above were not very fair. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's writing skills were vaguely visible. He Xi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's seemingly intact fingers and sighed slightly in his heart. He also had speculations in his mind as to why Zhu Yuanzhang did not review the memorials during this period and handed all the memorials to the cabinet.
It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to, but it's different.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to see what He Xi, Fang Xiaoru, and even the officials would do in this situation.
It's just that these are small things.
He Xi's eyes fell on these documents, and her heart was shocked. She quickly read the contents on them. He Xi was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, is this what you mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You have passed the test. If you find a way to break the situation, I will leave this world to you."
At this moment, He Xi was completely speechless. He could not understand Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment. It's incomprehensible in every aspect, because Zhu Yuanzhang's approach is too weird. He almost completely destroyed his achievements in the first half of his life.
This absurd feeling simply made He Xi feel that everything in front of her was unreal.
It can be said that He Xi can actually understand that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill him. As an emperor, it is normal to eliminate unstable factors in advance. But he couldn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang did this?
He Xi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Why bother? Things in the world are so wonderful. What you think is bitter, others think is sweet, and what others think is bitter, you are calm. The thing in front of you is that the river will flow through the ages, and the moon will shine for thousands of years. ,Compare
Considering all this, what does my Ming Dynasty mean? Moreover, I don’t think that Ming Dynasty can withstand such a torment. "
