"I'm sorry, sir, my old gentleman is not here."
The servant shook his head.
"This... we will come tomorrow."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked disappointed and left silently.
After he left, the servant also entered the house and saw an old man wearing a gray scholar's shirt, with white hair, who was in his early fifties.
The old man is none other than Zhu Sheng.
He was holding an old, well-thumbed book in his hand.
"People are gone?"
Zhu Sheng squinted his eyes.
"Yes, old gentleman. But, why don't you see him..."
The servant was confused.
Zhu Sheng said nothing and waved his hand.
On the other hand, the students who were watching the video observation felt like they were getting angry.
"This old man is bored, isn't he?"
"It's just that the rack is too big!"
"Is this old man very capable?"
"What is Zhu Sheng's Nine-Character Mantra? Isn't he another wise and demonic figure like Liu Ji?"
……
The students kept talking and felt unworthy of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Is it worth it to visit such a bad old man and such a polite corporal?
The video screen flashes.
Another day passes.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to visit Zhu Sheng.
This time, as soon as he arrived at the door of Zhu Sheng's house, he was stopped by a servant.
"This..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite confused.
"Sorry, sir, my old man is taking a nap at noon and doesn't like to be disturbed."
The servant looked apologetic.
"It's okay, Mr. Zhu is here today, let's just wait."
Zhu Yuanzhang grinned.
"But..."
The servant seemed to be in a difficult position.
"It's okay. Let's wait until your old gentleman wakes up."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with firm eyes.
The servant didn't say anything more, but he welcomed Zhu Yuanzhang to the hall and took a seat.
"Sir, the sun is quite bright. Are you thirsty? Drink some water."
The servant was a kind-hearted person and personally poured a glass of water for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, took the bowl of water, and took a swig.
"Gulu!"
After drinking the water, he felt refreshed in his stomach.
In this way, he waited for half an hour.
Zhu Sheng woke up.
"Ha!"
When Zhu Sheng woke up, he yawned and stretched.
When he arrived at the hall, he also saw Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang also saw at this moment that Zhu Sheng was an old man with white hair, but his face was rosy and he was in good spirits.
"Mr. Zhu..."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy.
"I have something to do today. I have an appointment with a friend and I have to rush to the appointment. Therefore, if this young master has something to do, we will discuss it another day."
Zhu Sheng's tone was calm.
After that, he turned around and left.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang with a stiff expression was left.
But he didn't say much.
However, the students who watched the video were really unhappy.
Zhu Sheng’s shelf is simply too big!
So, is he as capable as he is?
Another day.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to visit Zhu Sheng again.
This time, Zhu Sheng did not take a nap at noon at home, but also prepared some wine and food to entertain Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Mr. Zhu, what are you..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.
"Sit down, Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Sheng said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang took his seat.
"The past two days, I just wanted to test your sincerity, Mr. Zhu. But I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, thinking that you are the same as Liu Futong and others. Who would have thought that I was wrong, you are completely different from them
.You have sincerity. They, they have sincerity and come to visit me. I don’t come out of the mountain, but they say that I am a country man with no talent and no virtue."
Zhu Sheng laughed at himself.
"Mr. Zhu, did Liu Futong and others also come to invite you to come out?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and his pupils could not help but shrink.
"Yes, but they don't have the sincerity of Mr. Zhu. They didn't say they came to my house three times, but they never came once. They just sent my old friends to send a message asking me to come out. I can come out.
?"
Zhu Sheng had a stern face and had no interest in Liu Futong and his like.
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that there was something going on.
"Mr. Zhu, are you willing to come out and help us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was thirsty for talents, and stared at Zhu Sheng with a pair of black eyes.
"Master Zhu, do you know why Yuanting is in the state it is today? Why do rebels appear one after another?"
Zhu Sheng asked.
"The common people can't live anymore, how can he not rebel? Since we joined the army, we have seen how many people are homeless and how many people are selling their children and daughters. This is a cannibalistic world! The common people have no way to survive, only
Able to overthrow Yuanting!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with determination.
However, his words made Zhu Sheng shake his head and nod.
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.
Not only him, but also the students watching the video had no idea what Zhu Sheng was selling.
"Master Zhu, you still haven't talked about the fundamentals of the matter. The rebels will emerge, and the Yuanting Association will decline day by day. There are four reasons. The first point is natural disaster! Yuanting has not had a good year since the founding of the country.
. Natural disasters continue, and plague spreads wildly among the people, killing countless people. Also, locust plagues continue, destroying the crops of the people..."
When he said this, Zhu Sheng paused.
His eyes turned red when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Master Zhu, what are you doing?"
Zhu Sheng looked puzzled.
"We're fine, we're fine."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
He thought of his parents and elder brother, who were killed by this plague!
Can he not feel uncomfortable?
At this moment, his heart felt desolate.
But then he thought of his group of brothers who had been through life and death, his horse girl, and his sons, and his heart became strong.
He needs to become stronger!
"Second point, Yuanting has been fighting almost all year round since the founding of the country. But what do you need for this war? We need money and food! Where can we get it? From the national treasury? In the end, we have reached out to the people!"
"The third point is that there is a struggle for power in the court. As the emperor of Yuanting, Emperor Yuan Shun was unable to check and balance the court. He is definitely not a wise king! But if you want to say that he is a coward, that is not the case. He also
He defeated a powerful minister like Boyan of Yuanting. He is just a mediocre king! Even if he has the intention to save Yuanting, Yuanting is already terminally ill and dying. Can he be saved?"
Zhu Sheng was frothing as he spoke, and his face turned blue and white.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened very carefully.
"What about the fourth point?"
He even asked impatiently.
"The fourth point is the most critical point. I wonder if you, Master Zhu, can do it in the future? If you can't do it, then even if you really gain power and conquer the world, you will be just another new Yuanting in the future.
."
Zhu Sheng sighed softly, which also revealed Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition.
How could he not know Zhu Yuanzhang's identity?
This is a hero in charge of tens of thousands of troops!
"Please give Mr. Zhu a clear explanation."
Zhu Yuanzhang has a solemn expression and a sincere attitude.
