Chapter One Thousand Eight Hundred and Six: Saving the Nation through Curves
"So! Very good!"
Zhu Zhanji was so happy that he couldn't help clapping his hands.
Originally, he was worried about how to lure academy students to America. After all, ordinary people had limited knowledge of America.
Many people only know that America is tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and it takes nearly a year to reach it by boat.
People in the Ming Dynasty are very nostalgic, and they also pay attention to returning to their roots.
Even if he boasts that America is unparalleled in the sky and on earth, there are probably very few people who would be willing to go to America with him.
After all, this is not the future, the Ming Dynasty is the center of the world, and is recognized as the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world.
But just now, Zhu Zhanji discovered what the academy students were eager for.
It’s Lilu!
And this is exactly what Zhu Zhanji can come up with easily. Why doesn't it excite him?
Their talent may not be a big deal in the Ming Dynasty, but they are the top group of people in the Americas, which is not a good deal for the Xin Ming Dynasty.
"Ning Yi."
Zhu Zhanji looked serious and his tone was decisive.
Ning Yi was shaken up, and he quickly bowed and said, "My subordinate is here."
"Since you said it's impossible to find out everything, then it shouldn't be a problem to find out the first three hundred or so, right?" Zhu Zhanji looked at him without blinking.
"No problem, I'll take care of it now." Ning Yi agreed immediately, turned around and was about to go out.
"Wait." Zhu Zhanji stopped him again, "You must do this quietly. Don't touch the people in front. Test the people in the back first. Even if there is no gain, you can't
To alert the enemy, do you understand?"
Ning Yi didn't know why His Highness ordered him like this, but he still nodded and said, "I understand."
The reason why Zhu Zhanji gave such instructions was of course because of him
intention.
The students who can be ranked at the front must be the true geniuses of the academy. These people are not just him, the academy must also be paying attention to them.
If he contacts rashly, he might be noticed by the academy. And once the academy notices it, it means that Han Du will know about it.
Others may not be able to guess Zhu Zhanji's purpose, but once Han Du knows about it, his purpose will inevitably be exposed.
In this case, his plan may be ruined by Han Du.
Zhu Zhanji arranged for Ning Yi to contact the academy students first, which was a masterstroke.
But even so, he was still a little worried.
Especially when Han Du entered the academy, he was very dissatisfied with him for strictly guarding him and not letting him watch.
After thinking for a moment, he shouted out the door, "Here comes, prepare your horses. I want to enter the palace to see the emperor."
When Zhu Yunye heard Zhu Zhanji's request for an audience, he immediately put down the memorial he was reviewing and specially arranged for Zhu Zhanji to meet him in the Qianqing Palace.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji just stood up and saw Zhu Yunye walking in. He immediately knelt down and bowed, "Zhu Zhanji pays homage to the emperor!"
"Hahaha, I've said it before, we are a family, we don't need to be so polite!" After saying that, he personally reached out to help Zhu Zhanji, "Get up quickly!"
I don't know why, but every time Zhu Yunye sees Zhu Zhanji, he can't help but feel very close to him.
The arrival of Zhu Zhanji also made Zhu Yunye feel better.
Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Zhu Yunye looked at his nephew with a smile, "You have just been back for a few days, should I?"
Are you not used to the Ming Dynasty yet? If you need anything, just ask, I will send someone to arrange it for you."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has managed the Ming Dynasty to flourish and prosper with each passing day. My nephew is not afraid of the Emperor's jokes. Coming back this time is indeed an eye-opener. My nephew feels like he can't see it with his eyes."
After flattering him without any trace, Zhu Zhanji nodded with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha"
Sure enough, Zhu Yunye was very happy after hearing this. Of course it was not the first time he heard such flattery, but when these words came from Zhu Zhanji's mouth, the meaning was very different, which made him feel very comfortable.
After laughing, Zhu Yunye looked at Zhu Zhanji seriously before saying, "My nephew came into the palace today. He is not just here to talk to me, right?"
"You're welcome. If you have any requirements, just say it. I just said that no matter what you need, I will satisfy you."
The smile on Zhu Zhanji's face was awkward, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and my nephew's tricks cannot be hidden from the Emperor's discernment. My nephew, my nephew really has something to ask for!"
"But it doesn't matter!" Zhu Yunye didn't hesitate at all, and even before Zhu Zhanji said the matter, he nodded in agreement.
Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips and started from the beginning, "It's like this. Yesterday, my nephew went to the academy at the invitation of the Duke of Zhenguo."
"How do you feel?" Zhu Yunye held up the teacup and smiled lightly.
Zhu Yunye certainly knew about Zhu Zhanji's whereabouts. From the moment Zhu Zhanji entered the Ming Dynasty and came to the capital, his every move was clearly seen by Zhu Yunye.
"The academy is indeed a place where outstanding people gather, which is an eye-opener for my nephew." Zhu Zhanji said.
It's not a compliment, it's a matter of fact.
Without waiting for Zhu Yunye to ask, he continued, "The prosperity of the academy makes my nephew have the urge to get involved in it."
Zhu Yunye was very happy and said without thinking, "If you like, you can go at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Zhanji bowed slightly and saluted. He had already started to attract Zhu Yunye's attention when Han Du was very wary of him.
Yes, that's right, Han Du can indeed prevent him from entering the academy. But that is under normal circumstances. Now that he has Zhu Yunye's permission, is it rare that Han Du can still stop him?
With the oral instructions, even Han Du could not stop him anymore.
But the purpose of Zhu Zhanji's visit today is not just that.
"Your Majesty, my nephew heard that the academy is holding an award. My nephew is very curious about it. I wonder if I can go and see it then, so as to gain some experience?"
"What's wrong with this?" Zhu Yunye said with a smile.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Well, I will go back when the time comes, and you will just stay with me."
Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed when he heard this. This was the best thing for him. When Zhu Yunye was with him, he didn't believe that Han Du would dare to prevent him from watching in front of Zhu Yunye.
Zhu Zhanji felt angry and funny when he thought that Han Du was guarding him like a thief in the academy.
What makes Han Du angry is that he doesn't know why he has such a deep prejudice against him. What makes him laugh is that Han Du missed Zhu Yunye despite all his calculations. I'm afraid he never dreamed that he would not ask him, but would come directly.
Please ask the emperor?
The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Yunye ordered the imperial dining room to pass the meal and warmly invited Zhu Zhanji to eat with him.
