Chen Kan led a group of generals to the entrance of Fengtian Palace. A young eunuch stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Master Marquis, His Majesty has ordered that if you arrive, just go in directly."
Chen Kan nodded and was about to walk towards the palace, but the young eunuch stopped the generals behind Chen Kan.
"Father-in-law, what do you mean?"
The young chamberlain smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty will only let you in alone. Generals, please come with us to the side hall for dinner."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals immediately looked at each other, and then subconsciously looked at Chen Kan.
"It doesn't matter, go ahead."
Chen Kan gave up and walked straight into the main hall.
Although a group of generals were not happy, they reluctantly followed the young eunuch to the side hall with Chen Kan's orders.
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di was the only one sitting high on the dragon chair, studying something. The eunuchs and imperial guards who were always inseparable in the past were all gone.
Chen Kan walked to the center of the hall and stood there. He bowed his hands and saluted honestly and said: "My lord, I have met your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."
The sudden greeting woke Zhu Di up from his deep thoughts.
Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Chen Kan in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips.
"came back?"
"Chen, I'm back."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back, hehehe."
Zhu Di's kind tone made Chen Kan a little scared. Years of experience with Zhu Di told him that once Zhu Di was polite to him, it meant that Zhu Di was going to trick him.
Only when Zhu Di hit or scolded him did he really want to get close to him.
Unconsciously alert in his heart, Chen Kan took out the Tiger Talisman used for mobilizing troops from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and said without changing his expression: "I have successfully lived up to my mission during my expedition to Southeast Asia. Now that the war is over, I come here to express my gratitude to Your Majesty." Pay the order."
It was actually against the rules for Chen Kan to hand over the military talisman now, but he thought for a long time and found that apart from the military power, he had nothing worthy of Zhu Di's harm. He simply handed over the military power directly to show his magnanimity. Anyway, the military power of 15,000 people, It wouldn't make any waves in the Ming Dynasty.
But the reality once again exceeded Chen Kan's expectations. Zhu Di did not take the tiger charm in his hand. Instead, he pointed to the table next to him and said with a smile: "Sit down."
Chen Kan frowned and moved the tiger talisman in his hand forward again towards Zhu Di.
Looking at Chen Kan's movements, the expression on Zhu Di's face couldn't help but stiffen, and then he stopped impatiently and said, "Okay, who are you showing off to? If you are told to sit down, just sit down."
Well, this familiar tone finally clicks with me.
Chen Kan decisively took the tiger talisman back into his arms and sat down behind the desk unceremoniously.
"Tsk~"
"You bitch, you haven't made any progress even after a year of absence~"
Zhu Di clicked his tongue, and then said to the back of the screen: "Pass the meal."
Listening to Zhu Di's weird voice, Chen Kan couldn't help but grin. He just said, how could Zhu Di become polite after not seeing each other for a year.
No wonder Chen Kan was so cautious, he had no choice but to be afraid of being tricked.
While the waiter was passing the meal around, Zhu Di threw the zhezi in his hand towards Chen Kan and said casually: "Look at the zhezi handed over by Chen Qia."
Chen Kan picked up the booklet and looked at the cover, but it was not signed.
Then I opened the fold and read the contents above.
As he watched, Chen Kan's lips almost reached his ears.
After a while, Chen Kan closed the folder and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, since the Jurchens are ready to found a country, shouldn't we close the net?"
"good."
Zhu Di nodded, then looked at Chen Kan with a malicious face and said with a smile: "So, I will have to wrong you for a while."
Chen Kan: "?"
From Zhu Di's malicious face, Chen Kan seemed to see something extraordinary, and his heart trembled even more.
"What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"
The bad premonition in Chen Kan's heart became stronger and stronger. He always felt that he might become a victim of something.
Zhu Di asked with a smile: "Do you know why I want to join you as a bachelor of Wuying Palace, and then join you as a clerk in Zhan Shifu?"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, shook his head honestly and said: "I don't know, please clarify my doubts."
"Haha~"
Zhu Di suddenly chuckled, and then said calmly: "I have set up a university in the Imperial College to teach the children of the royal family. You should know about this, right?"
Chen Kan was about to answer, but Zhu Di continued: "I want you to go to the university hall to teach those incompetent clan members for a period of time. In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince is obese, which is not conducive to walking. The East Palace also needs someone who can handle big and small things. .”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kan froze on the spot, his eyes full of disbelief.
After a long while, he asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty, do you want His Highness the King of Han to lead the Eastern Expedition?"
Zhu Di nodded decisively and said: "Yes, now our Ming Dynasty seems to be a bright star, but in fact it is not available. The handsome talents of the older generation, Qiu Fu Lao Lao, Zhang Xin, Wu Gao Musheng and others have their own places to suppress. The younger generation, that is, You and the second child are capable of leading troops, but you have just returned to the court after an expedition of thousands of miles, and I really can't bear to let you sail a boat to sea again."
Chen Kan's face became inexplicably sad and angry.
You don't have the heart to let me sail a boat out to sea, but you have the heart to throw me into the whirlpool of fighting for reserves?
What the hell is this?
At this point, how could Chen Kan still not understand the meaning of Zhu Di's three decrees? Then his mother was simply praising him, but his eldest son.
The higher Chen Kan's prestige among the people, the higher Zhu Gaochi's prestige will be after going to the East Palace.
But in the final analysis, everything is about balancing his two sons.
The second brother led the troops to the expedition, and with military power in his hands, the boss must have something in mind, so Chen Kan, the enemy who had just returned to the Ming Dynasty, became Zhu Di's tool to appease the boss.
grass (a plant)
Chen Kan now wants to give Zhu Di a piece of Chinese quintessence. Damn it, the donkeys of the production team can't be used like this, right?
He went to Beijing to hide for three whole years, wasn't it just to avoid the fight for the heirloom?
Fortunately now, Zhu Di pushed him into the whirlpool with his own hands.
Facing Chen Kan's sad and angry gaze, Zhu Di blushed unconsciously and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
Then he looked at Chen Kan with a serious face and said, "I did this for your sake. Now that Chang Ning has taken Fengyang back to the capital, it is impossible for you to go to Beijing again. With your out-of-the-way temperament, if I don't give Find something to do, I'm afraid it won't be long before you cause me a lot of trouble..."
Chen Kan: "..."
Halfway through the words, Zhu Di blushed again and accidentally said what was on his mind.
After coughing twice to cover up his embarrassment, Zhu Di hurriedly added: "What I mean is that talents should be reused..."
Chen Kan's face twitched. Is this how you use this sentence?
Seeing that things were getting darker and darker, Zhu Di simply shut his mouth and put on a posture of saying that you have to agree even if you agree, and you have to agree even if you don't agree.
Zhu Di's rogue behavior successfully aroused Chen Kan's rebellious psychology.
However, Chen Kan is no longer a fool now. Although he is reluctant in his heart, he is not willing to reject Zhu Di outright.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan suddenly had a plan on his mind and said with a confused look on his face: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to assist His Highness the Crown Prince, it's that I've been in trouble recently and I'm afraid I don't have time to serve in Zhan Shifu."
"Um?"
Zhu Di frowned slightly and asked, "You have just returned to the court, what trouble can you cause?"
"Your Majesty, doesn't he know?"
"What do I know?"
Seeing Zhu Di's confused look, Chen Kan felt itchy with hatred.
"Don't you know, Your Majesty, that when I was in Guangzhou, I had dinner with Mr. Zhang Sanfeng and Mr. Zhang?"
"Oh, is there anything else?"
Zhu Di suddenly sat up straight, with a look of interest on his face, and asked: "Since you have met Mr. Zhang, have you ever learned from him the method of longevity and health?"
Seeing that Zhu Di was still pretending to be dumbfounded, Chen Kan's expression suddenly calmed down.
Theoretically speaking, Zhu Di's plan to seize the land and population in the hands of the two Buddhist and Taoist sects is no different from Chen Kan's plan to conquer the land of the four seas. They are both matters that would rather be known to others than disclosed to others.
Now that Zhu Di wants him to balance the dispute between his two sons, it is reasonable for him to help Chen Kan solve the big trouble of the Buddhist and Taoist sects coming to take advantage of the big family.
After all, in Chen Kan's view, being targeted by religion is much more troublesome than offending Zhu Gaoxu.
Therefore, Chen Kan pondered for a moment, then raised his hands to Zhu Di and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I have never discussed this matter of longevity and health with Master Zhang, but Master Zhang once gave me an order, saying that I will die young. "
"Is there still this matter?"
Zhu Di's face suddenly sank.
Chen Kan nodded and spoke again: "I heard that Master Daoyan is also good at fortune telling. Your Majesty, why don't you summon Master Daoyan to the palace and give me another life order to see if I am as good as Mr. Zhang said?" The appearance of Yao."
"Bang~"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed. He slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "How can this be unreasonable? How can I, such a great person as Zhang Zhenren, allow others to criticize my humerus in the court?"
Seeing Zhu Di's anger, Chen Kan couldn't help but rolled his eyes cryptically.
There are only two people in the hall, can they be more sincere?
You can only seek to seize the Buddhist and Taoist properties, and do not allow others to retaliate and resist you?
What's the point?
However, now that the goal has been achieved, Chen Kan will not add any unnecessary extravagance.
Zhu Di forcibly bought the properties of the two religions at a low price. Buddhism and Taoism approached the court officials and asked them to advise Zhu Di. It was reasonable and reasonable.
Chen Kan is definitely not the first person they find, nor will he be the last.
But Chen Kan did not want to intercede for the two religions, nor did he want to pay for the construction of temples and temples for the two religions.
The incident itself was caused by Zhu Di, and it was undoubtedly the best choice for Zhu Di to confront them.
After Zhu Di finished getting angry, the chamberlain also carried the dinner into the hall.
Chen Kan picked up his chopsticks and started eating slowly. Zhu Di struggled for a long time, and finally told the chamberlain: "Go and ask Mr. Yao to come to Jinghaihou's mansion tomorrow morning to meet with Jinghaihou."
