Chapter 624: Is this old man scolding himself?(1/2)

Can Zhu Yunxi really realize this problem?

Lao Zhu was skeptical in his heart. In his opinion, this grandson was good at everything, but he was a little anxious about doing things. He wished he could use a few years to accomplish what others had done for decades!

But he couldn't say it, because this grandson did many things very well. He had nearly a million soldiers outside, but he could still sing and dance at home. This ability alone was enough to boast for eternity.

Lao Zhu sighed heavily.

"Let's take a look first and then talk!"

"Although that kid Zhu Yunxi does many things too eagerly, maybe it's because we are old and can't see the current situation clearly?"

Tang He nodded seriously when he heard this.

"What your superior said makes sense!"

"Old minister is also overly worried, worried that the Ming Dynasty will not be like the Ming Dynasty we originally imagined..."

Lao Zhu smiled helplessly after hearing this.

"It's completely out of shape, but it looks pretty good now. At least the people have enough to eat and clothing and can live a decent life!"

Tang He heard the words and echoed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty is right, the people of Ming Dynasty have indeed been much better off in recent years!"

"Not only are all businesses in the city prospering, but even the people in the countryside can afford to raise chickens, ducks and geese, so they can have dry food during the slack time!"

The two old men looked at the bustling night market, indulging in the beauty in front of them, while worrying about the unforeseen events in the future. They had mixed feelings for a while, and they felt like they couldn't see clearly, couldn't understand, or couldn't understand.

Fortunately, both of them are people who have experienced great battles and have their own logic and judgment.

"never mind!"

"Don't think about these in advance. We are only worried about one thing now, that is, this grandson is not very good at grasping power. What will happen if the military power is lost in the future?"

"oh?"

Tang He looked at Lao Zhu in surprise when he heard this.

"Why did the superior say this?"

"Didn't that boy Yunxi capture the army very well? How can you still worry about this?"

Lao Zhu smiled helplessly when he heard this.

"You do not understand……"

Lao Zhu said "I don't understand" not because he was mocking Tang He, but because Tang He really didn't understand.

After all, Tang He's greatest achievement in his life was to be a general and guard one side. He had never been an emperor before and enjoyed the supreme power like him.

Therefore, what he understands by grasping power is not at the same level as what Lao Zhu understands by grasping power.

"This boy Yunxi has given too much power to the generals, especially the expeditionary forces and the major governors stationed overseas."

"Although this is a helpless move, in the long run, the local governor will inevitably be alienated from the court, and he may be in danger of threatening his own power!"

This means that Tang He is about to die and has only a few more years to live. Otherwise, Lao Zhu would not discuss the art of the emperor with a minister even if he killed him.

Tang He is also a smart man, and he understood after listening to Lao Zhu's advice.

But he really didn't understand the matter and couldn't give any reasonable advice.

"Sir, haven't you talked to that kid Yunxi about this?"

Lao Zhu shook his head when he heard this.

"without!"

"We plan to take a look first to see if this kid has any backup plans. If he really doesn't have any backup plans, then let's save some for him."

"good!"

"With the superiors personally taking care of that child Yunxi, I have nothing to worry about, hahaha!"

That night, Lao Zhu and Tang He had a lot of fun, and they were having so much fun that they didn't even think about Shu.

However, all the princes and grandsons in the palace were stupid. If the old man did not return to the palace, they did not dare to leave. They could only wait until dawn.

At this time, Lao Zhu, who had been playing for a whole night, was reminded by Qin Deshun that there was a group of traitors in the palace.

However, how could he have the energy to go to the palace to deal with them now, so he directly ordered someone to give them an oral message and then sent them away.

"His Majesty the Emperor said, we are tired, you can go and do what you are supposed to do. There is no need to pay my respects to us!"

"My son...accepted the decree..."

Although every prince received the oral instructions respectfully, everyone's face was filled with confusion.

What on earth was the old man doing this night?

Naturally, they would not just squat in the palace, they would have already resorted to throwing money around to make inquiries.

But no matter how they inquired, there was always only one result, that is, the old man was not in the palace, but probably went for a walk outside the palace.

But what is the old man doing outside the palace?

Zhu Fang thought about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. He was not idle this time when he came back. While actively contacting his old subordinates, he was busy buying ships and hiring people, planning to return to Golden Continent and build a huge empire of his own.

Despite how much he cried when he returned home, in fact, as the second son of the old Zhu family, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who has always been very ambitious, has never lacked the courage and determination to open up new territories.

After seeing the richness and vastness of the Golden Continent, he immediately regarded it as his base and the place where he would establish eternal hegemony.

Therefore, he has only two purposes for returning to China this time. One is to obtain a formal appointment from the imperial court so that he can develop reasonably in the Golden Continent. The other is to poach a large number of technical talents from the Ming Dynasty to help him establish a developed economy in the Golden Continent.

empire.

But these things cannot be done in a big way. Once discovered, it will be a serious crime of treason.

The fourth child, Zhu Di, was also murmuring in his heart. He also had a lot of little tricks in the capital. With the help of Xu Da's father-in-law, he also contacted many veterans in the capital, as well as the younger generation of nobles who were frustrated.

He even made a lot of preparations for his trip to Beijing this time and sent thousands of people to Beijing in advance to find out the news.

If the old man found out about his dirty tricks, he wouldn't be detained directly in the capital to keep him company with the miserable Old Thirteen, right?

Zhu Yunwen was even more panicked. Although he thought he was very smart, the pressure given to him by the emperor was so great that he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor.

Therefore, after learning that the emperor's grandfather had left the palace for a night and did not return home, he immediately worried about several bookstores and Qingliang Temple in the capital, as well as several Japanese chambers of commerce.

This is his most powerful foreign aid. If the emperor discovers that he is in private contact with the Japanese, he will be very angry, right?

A group of guys with different agendas returned to the mansion and began to review the situation. Only after they were sure that they were not exposed, they rekindled their fighting spirit and began to secretly move around the capital.

In fact, Lao Zhu really doesn't care about them now.

After all, for Lao Zhu at the moment, how to see the future direction of the Ming Dynasty is far more important than dealing with these ambitious and rebellious sons.

And from the bottom of his heart, Lao Zhu never felt that these traitors were Zhu Yunxi's opponents.

If it weren't for him, the imperial grandfather, who was suppressing them, Zhu Yunxi would have crushed them into pieces long ago.

Lao Zhu was not in a hurry to urge the princes to leave this time. Even though he learned from Dongchang that these princes were secretly dishonest and had friends with many court ministers, Lao Zhu ignored them.

He even hoped that these traitors would contact more veterans and leave more escape routes for themselves.

If Zhu Yunxi wants to attack them in the future, they can know the news in advance.

This is what he, as the father, can finally do for these rebellious sons.

While all the vassal kings were busy connecting with each other, Lao Zhu and Tang He were not idle either. They transformed into jobless vagrants every day, traveling around various counties and towns in the Gyeonggi region.

Sometimes I go to a county to see how the local people live. Sometimes I go to the fields to see how the crops grown by the people are growing.

Generally speaking, the weather in Gyeonggi Province is quite good this year, and the crops are growing very well.

The only drawback was that there were many more crops that he couldn't name.

"Brother, what are you growing in your field? Such a tall pole has such a stick?"

"A foreigner?"

Lao Zhu chuckled.

"It doesn't count. We are from the capital. We were out doing business. We happened to pass by and saw the strange crops in this field, so we came over to take a look!"

"Oh, that's no wonder..."

"This thing is called golden rice. It is a strange species dug up from the Golden Continent. Before our Majesty became emperor, he ordered people to cultivate this thing in Danzhou. Finally, there were more seeds, and then they were distributed to us.

Poor people!"

"But this thing is still very precious now. If the eldest son of mine hadn't been working as a servant in the county government, my family wouldn't be able to get it!"

"oh?"

"This is golden rice!"

Lao Zhu was no stranger to Golden Rice. In fact, Zhu Yunxi deceived him into looking for Huanghuangzhou in the first place, and this Golden Rice was one of the reasons.

According to the grandson, as long as there is this kind of golden rice, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about famine.

But Lao Zhu had never seen golden rice alive, only in seed form, so he didn't recognize it for a while.

"Why, brother also knows about Golden Rice?"
