But while I was wary, I could not help but feel a little dissatisfied.
If you want to eat, don’t you have feet? Don’t you know how to go to the kitchen to get it?
Chen Kan is incompetent and furious!
He just watched helplessly as Ji Gang ate up not a hair of the meal that was supposed to be his.
"Hiccup~"
Ji Gang, who was full, burped, poured himself another glass of wine and sipped it slowly.
It seemed as if he had completely forgotten about Chen Kan.
It wasn't until he finished the entire pot of wine that he looked back at Chen Kan and said, "Chen Kan."
The anger in Chen Kan's eyes instantly faded.
He took a step forward and said, "My subordinate is here."
"Do you know why His Majesty asked you to come to Jinyiwei?"
Chen Kan quickly bent down and said, "Speaking of this, my subordinates are confused. Please give me some advice."
Perhaps it's because Chen Kan's behavior was quite respectful from beginning to end.
Ji Gang finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Do you know what is the biggest obstacle currently preventing His Majesty from displaying his ambitions?"
When Ji Gang said this sentence, Chen Kan was suddenly shocked.
Then it was like an enlightenment, as if the fog in front of my eyes was instantly lifted.
It turns out that this is what Zhu Di meant.
He's enlightened!
Chen Kan stood stunned on the spot.
Ji Gang smiled and asked, "What, do you understand?"
Chen Kan straightened up and nodded slowly.
"Subordinate, I understand. Thank you for your guidance."
"Now that you understand, let's do it. This idiot Li Jinglong is now in charge of this matter. You and he should make a plan."
After Ji Gang said this, he waved his hands, got up and left without hesitation.
Chen Kan was left standing there blankly.
He didn't expect that.
Zhu Di will leave this matter to him.
This is fucking hot!
What is the biggest obstacle in front of Zhu Di?
Chen Kan would definitely answer without hesitation: "Prince of the feudal lord!"
There is no doubt about it.
On this point, Chen Kan and Fang Xiaoru had reached a consensus as early as when Fu Yu came to break off the engagement.
As for why, it's simple.
The situation Zhu Di is facing now is actually no different from the situation when Emperor Jianwen came to the throne.
It can even be said that the situation is even more severe.
Because the princes of Zhou, Min, Dai, and Xiang who were beaten to death by Emperor Jianwen were all small vassals that could not pose any threat to the imperial power.
On the contrary, due to Zhu Di's rebellion, Jianwen had no time to kill the vassal king.
For example, the kings of Liao, Ning, Shen, and Han in the east of Liaodong, the kings of Jin and Qin in the west, and the kings of Shu in Shu, etc., were all large vassals with tens of thousands of troops.
After experiencing the Jianwen and the reduction of vassals, these large vassals were immediately wary of the imperial court.
If Zhu Di wants to clean up the mess left by Jianwen, he will need to spend more energy and time.
And Zhu Di also has a fatal flaw.
That means he is not in the right position.
If Jianwen cut down the vassals, the vassals would not dare to rebel despite the disapproval of the world.
Then Zhu Di's reduction of vassals would most likely force these vassals to rebel directly.
The reason is easy to explain. Jianwen inherited the throne, and it was justifiable for him to cut down the vassals and consolidate the imperial power.
And you, Zhu Di, were the ones who rebelled against the vassal and came to power. If you, Zhu Di, can rebel, why can't we?
And why did Zhu Di choose to do this by himself?
Chen Kan figured it out quickly.
He had a grudge against the feudal lord, and it was a big grudge against him for taking away his wife.
His fiancée, instigated by Jin Wang Zhu Jixi, regretted her marriage in public.
Such an insult would be a great shame in any era. This insult was caused by the feudal king.
Therefore, his innate position is that he is on the opposite side of the feudal king.
Of course, if he simply suffered the humiliation of breaking off the engagement, then it would not be his turn to be the candidate to cut down the vassal.
But just before his engagement was broken off, he used his sharp tongue to persuade Fang Xiaoru, who was known for his staunchness, to surrender to Zhu Di.
This incident directly proved his ability.
These two things happened to me at the same time, which made me the most suitable candidate to cut down the feudal clan.
Because there is no problem with my ability, and there is no problem with my position.
Thinking of this, even Chen Kan felt that he was a god-given candidate to eliminate the vassal.
Not cutting down the feudal vassal is a disgrace to the conscience of heaven and earth!
Now that he knows why Zhu Di asked him to come to Jinyiwei, the next step must be to eat first.
Seeing the mess on the table in front of him, Chen Kan couldn't help but waved his fist bitterly in the direction Ji Gang left.
Bah, you are a traitor, you dare to rob me of my food.
You are a fucking senior official now, right? When I am a senior official than you, I will fucking kill your whole family!
Set the flag in your mind.
Chen Kan could only go to the kitchen again.
Because Jin Yiwei eats from a big pot, no one delivers food to his door.
The fat cook in the kitchen saw Chen Kan coming again from a distance, and hurriedly turned back to the kitchen to hide all the chickens, ducks, fish, and meat.
"Stop hiding it. I've seen it all. Make me another portion of the same amount. I can't whip you to death if you're missing a vegetable!"
Hearing Chen Kan's magic voice, the fat cook suddenly broke out in sweat.
He looked at Chen Kan pitifully and said with a mournful face: "Sir, this, there are rules for how much rice Jinyiwei puts into food every day, and little people don't dare to throw away too much."
"Don't talk nonsense. Seeing how fat you eat, I know that you must have deprived your brothers of their rations on weekdays. Do it quickly, otherwise I won't be able to whip you to death!"
"Sir, this villain is wronged."
"Um?"
Chen Kan was in a very bad mood now, and he just had to write the words "Don't make me angry" on his face.
As soon as this thick and threatening hum came out of his mouth, the fat cook gave in instantly.
He said with a mournful face: "Sir, wait a moment, I will do it now."
"That's pretty much it."
Chen Kan's expression changed from anger to joy, indicating that he was very satisfied with the fat cook's understanding of emotions.
Had a big meal of fish and meat.
In order to avoid a situation like the one just now.
Chen Kan kicked the fat cook out of the kitchen and hid in the back kitchen to eat secretly.
While eating, I was thinking about cutting the feudal clan.
Although he had a grudge against Jin Wang Zhu Jixi, he really wanted to mess with him.
But Zhu Jixi must not be the first to be attacked, otherwise it will be easy for someone with ulterior motives to label him as a revenge person.
Another important point is that you can't wear the hat of cutting down vassals on your head. I have never heard that cruel officials in the past dynasties had a good ending.
Therefore, before officially cutting off the vassal, we have to find someone to take the blame.
The person who takes the blame...
As he was thinking about it, Li Jinglong's ugly face with oily hair and pink face suddenly appeared in Chen Kan's mind.
Then it got out of hand.
Li Jinglong is so good. He is the Duke of the country, with a lot of nobles standing behind him, and he is Zhu Di's nephew.
The background is hard enough, the head is big enough, and more importantly, he is still a fool, with just the right length, width, and height, making him the chosen one to take the blame.
Anyone who doesn't bear a dozen or so scapegoats would be sorry for him being so ugly.
