"In front of the emperor's knees: Sun Chen arrived in Nanjing on the fifth day of the second lunar month and worshiped the Xiaoling Mausoleum on the Shenlie Mountain that day... The next day, he climbed Houhu Lake and entered Huangceku. What he saw and heard was shocking... Wow! If it can't be painful...

Rectification, Sun Chen is deeply afraid of what he cannot bear to say, is not far away! As a descendant of the Zhu family, Sun Chen does not dare to worry too much about his own honor and disgrace. He should devote himself to the foundation founded by Taizu and the extension of the country! Sun Chen

I am determined to rectify the yellow books and consolidate the foundation of the country. No matter how powerful the enemy is ahead, no matter what insults, slanders, conspiracies, assassinations, and betrayals encountered in the process...even if there are thousands of people, I will go!"

After giving a detailed report to Wanli on the near-collapse of Huangceku and expressing his determination in an impassioned speech, Zhu Youdong changed his mind and began to analyze to Wanli how he could rectify Huangce and thereby stabilize the foundation of the country.

Thousands of words can be condensed into one sentence: Rectifying the Yellow Book will affect all the corrupt officials, wealthy gentry and bullies in the world, and if it is done, it will affect the whole body. Therefore, you must not rectify the Yellow Book before you have absolute power in your hands.

In short, he, Zhu Youdong, is not afraid of death (he will definitely not die well in the future if the yellow book is not corrected), but he is not willing to stupidly rush into the battle and die in vain. Therefore, he told him very straightforwardly in the latter part of the letter.

Wanli: I want to build an army. You don’t need to allocate this army to me (Wanli can’t even do it). I will slowly build it myself from scratch.

In short, I will source my own troops, make my own weapons and muskets, and earn my own soldiers’ salaries. I want to create a strong and invincible army that will definitely obey my orders in this era!

"Sun Chen was deeply loved by the emperor's grandfather, and he was appointed as the emperor's grandson when he was in his infancy. He was enlightened at the age of four, and the teachers in the mansion were all outstanding people. If Sun Chen really had evil intentions, he should stay in the capital, pretending to be a hypocrite, and enjoy himself at the knees of the emperor's grandfather.

If Sun Chen was really a treasonous and evil man, why would he take such a risk? Why not wait for decades? However, the foundation of the country has been decayed, and the people have been harmed too much by the beetles. Sun Chen only arrived in Nanjing for two or three days, and some of them were on the verge of collapse.

Feeling. If we don’t use the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrists and use strong medicine to cure the disease, in a few decades, we will all be ashamed to be the descendants of Taizu! Sun Chen has a little innocent heart, I pray that the emperor will understand clearly!"

After writing this letter, Zhu Youdong's forehead was already sweating profusely in the late winter weather. He read it carefully and repeatedly, and after making sure that there were no obvious omissions in the letter, he slumped down on the armchair.

After taking a slight breath, he stood up again, picked up the letter paper with one hand, and found the envelope with the other hand. Then he put it in without hesitation, sealed it, dripped wax, and stamped it.

"Huh~~" He let out a long breath again: "Okay, if the emperor can't trust me and wants to abolish my grandson's throne, then I will completely accept my fate and find a place to eat and drink.

Enjoy ten or twenty years and wait for someone to take my life."

There is no other way. Although the Ming Dynasty's control over the grassroots is basically over now, the Chao Gang is still strict. Without the emperor's permission, as long as Zhu Youdong dares to train his troops privately, it is impossible to say that the soldiers are not trained well, and his various forces will be wiped out.

The military town and various guard posts are all on their way here.

However, it was also due to the fact that the court regulations were basically strict at this time. Therefore, although the civil servants were isolated from the direct contact between the emperor and the military generals, if the civil servants wanted to deal with the generals, they had to go through the emperor himself. To mobilize the soldiers, they also had to go through the emperor himself.

.Therefore, as long as Wanli can support himself, then in the coming days, no matter how many rumors there are, no matter how many memorials are played, he can persist in getting things done.

Therefore, we must use the determination to break the boat, and without exposing ourselves, we must try our best to break down all the issues and explain them clearly to Wanli. It is best if you support me. If you don’t support me, I will just accept my fate.

This feeling of completely leaving your destiny to the discretion of others is of course very unpleasant. But where can people truly and completely be free and at ease when living in this world?

After thinking about this, Zhu Youdong placed the letter with the wax seal close to his body, then raised his head and shouted outside the house.

"Wang Cheng'en!"

"My slave is here."

"Is Wu Youke back?"

"Mr. Wu sent Mr. Lu home last night and came back at three o'clock."

"Well, let him come to see me after he gets up."

"Slave, take your orders. Uh..."

"Uh, what? If you don't have anything else to do, just go to the imperial chef and get some pieces of ginger. I haven't slept all night and I have bald spots! After you get the ginger, come and rub it for me yourself."

The whole day of on-site education yesterday has already yielded obvious results this morning. That is, the people around Zhu Youdong will no longer persuade Zhu Youdong not to work so hard. They understand from the bottom of their hearts that Zhu Youdong, as the emperor's wife,

Sun, as a six-year-old child, why is he always so busy? Moreover, Zhu Youdong can feel from Wang Chengen: This eight or nine-year-old child has a clear sense of urgency.

Of course, the gains don’t stop there.

"Young master, in fact, since the fourth update last night, Eunuch Cao has been waiting for you in the outer hall."

"Daban? What's the matter with him? Let him come in. You..."

"This slave will go to the imperial kitchen to prepare some ginger for you."

He turned around tiredly and returned to the chair behind the desk. Cao Huachun came in with his head lowered.

"Daban, what's the matter?"

"This slave is here to confess to the young master and receive death."

"Uh-huh!"

Cao Huachun, who lowered his head, only heard a "swish" sound, and then felt his eyes go dark. Zhu Youdong had already stood in front of him.

"What did you do that I'm sorry for? Why did you plead guilty and accept death?"

"Young master... wuwuwu... slave, this slave was actually sent by Teacher Wang An to go to the master to record every word and deed of the master."

"Wang An?" A metallic and cruel voice sounded above Cao Huachun's head: "Is this his intention or my father's?"

"My slave, I don't know. But from the beginning to the end, it was Teacher Wang An who gave the explanation to this slave. As for whether he reported it to Master Qiantose afterwards, this slave doesn't know."

"Well..." This voice sounded much gentler than the tone just now. "You get up and talk."

"Slave, I think this is better."

"Get up and close the door!"

After Cao Huachun closed the door, Zhu Youdong was lying on the armchair again: "Tell me, why are you confessing to me again?"

"Actually, since I came to my young master's side, I have been admiring all the things my young master has done, and I have been struggling in my heart. But Wang An is my benefactor after all. If he hadn't promoted me to the inner study hall, I would have only

I'm afraid that I won't be lucky enough to serve you... But yesterday at Houhu and in Nanhua Palace, I really understood why I worked so hard for you. I really understand that my Ming Dynasty will last for thousands of years, and it will take a long time.

What kind of wise king is he? He really understands why the slave family worked so hard in the past but still had to let the slave into the palace... Young Master! Although the servant went behind the back of the young master and reported many of the young master's deeds to Ciqing Palace, but

I dare to swear to God that apart from this, I have never done anything to disgrace my master!"

"Well..." He stood up solemnly and looked at Cao Huachun for a long time. Zhu Youdong said: "Big companion."

This big voice made Cao Huachun feel clear all over: "My servant is here."

"Can I completely trust you from now on?"

"My slave will never betray my trust!"

"From now on, will you be able to unswervingly carry out any of my orders?"

"As long as it is my order, I will never be ambiguous! That is, it is my teacher in front of me, slave, slave..."

"Hahaha, how could I let you kill Wang An?" In the deep eye holes, a murderous intention flashed past, and Zhu Youdong smiled gently: "But what if I let you deceive Wang An?"

Regarding Zhu Youdong's question, Cao Huachun was silent for a while and then replied: "From today onwards, I will only follow my orders. Not to mention cheating, I really want this slave to take action against Wang An..."

"I have said before that I will not force you to kill your master. However, when you write a report to Wang An about what happened yesterday, you must write like this..."

"My slave understands."

"Well, just write it here. When you're done, we'll go over the details together."

"As commanded."

Cao Huachun sat at the desk and polished ink. Zhu Youdong opened the door and let the dry and cold air from outside flow in. His head, which had been drowsy for a long time, suddenly became awake again.
