Zhu Zhen drove away Lao Wang and Lao Wu and cried alone in the corner.
This time, it’s not that I felt wronged, but that it was really difficult to do anything.
In order to save Liu Bowen, I was infamous at a young age, ate vitex, and had to kneel down to apologize...
Wow, who said that understatement can change history?
This is not what I should bear at my age!
From now on, I will lie down flat and the earth will explode without even turning over!
His Royal Highness the King of Chu was wiping away tears and expressing regret when he suddenly heard a childish voice ringing in his ears:
"Are you crying?"
"Why, you don't accept it? Do you care? Ah!" Zhu Zhen was furious immediately. Damn it, even a small child dared to laugh at me.
He turned his head sharply and saw a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll. Her big eyes blinked and her long eyelashes flickered as she looked at him.
The kind that attracts people.
Including Chu Dian...
Zhu Zhen immediately felt very shameless. He quickly wiped away his tears and snorted: "Who are you? Do you know who I am?"
"My name is Liu Li, my father's name is Liu Lian, and my brother's name is Liu Xiang." The little girl smiled sweetly, with two small dimples. "I also know who you are, you are His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
"Hmph, you're afraid!" Zhu Zhen snorted again.
"I'm not afraid, you're not a bad person." The little girl took out a candy bar from the small purse hanging at her waist, handed it to him and said, "My mother said that if you eat a candy bar when you are sad, you will feel better.
Get up."
Zhu Zhen took it, but didn't dare to eat it. He was the murderer who drugged my grandfather, and his family had full motives for revenge.
"Are you afraid that I'll poison you?" The little girl looked as big as him, had a milky voice, and was pretty good at reading people.
"Huh, I'm not afraid. I can eat if I want to, and if I don't want to eat, I won't." Zhu Zhen said with a straight face.
"Wow, is this the style of a king?" Liu Li exclaimed in admiration, took out another piece of candy, and licked it happily.
"Then, how do you know that this king is not a bad person?" Zhu Zhen said with a face of incomprehension and profoundness: "This king has been burdened with eternal infamy."
"I know you are a good boy." Liu Li stretched out her white and tender hands to wipe his tears and said, "Otherwise, my grandfather would not continue to be your teacher."
"You know...what..." Zhu Zhen's nose felt sore, but he didn't expect that he would be cured by a little loli.
"I know a lot." Liu Li held up her slender fingers and spoke in detail: "For example, you spent the whole day in the main hall teasing my grandfather and bullying King Qi and King Tan; another example is that you are ugly at writing, like to sleep in class, and follow King Qin.
King Yan skipped class..."
"You, how do you know so much?" Zhu Zhen said with a red face: "I have... changed my mind now."
"Well, I believe you." Liu Li nodded, her eyes so pure that it felt like it was a huge sin to betray her... trust.
Just as Zhu Zhen was about to speak again, a child's voice sounded again.
"Ah, sister, let's go quickly." The male voice sounded hateful this time.
Then he saw a boy one or two years older than him, running over and holding Liu Li's hand.
Zhu Zhen was immediately furious: "You are so unbridled, do you understand that men and women cannot be intimate with each other?!"
"She is my sister, you bad guy, get away!" The boy glared at him fiercely, pulled Liu Li and ran away.
"Brother, His Royal Highness King Chu is not a bad person..." Liu Li's voice floated with the wind, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Zhen sighed sadly. He found that he was really old at his age. He had no interest in a big sister like Mu Xiang, but he was confused by Liu Li, a little girl.
It seems that from now on, there will be more reasons to study hard...
~~
In the hall, seeing Liu Ji losing energy, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but start talking again.
"There is one more thing. Sir, please help us with the details. Liao Yongzhong told us in prison...our old brothers from Huaixi have done more than ten times more evil than him. He said that they enclosed the land in Fengyang's hometown and forced the people to surrender.
Under their tutelage, those who disobey will be beaten and forced to do so, or sent to hard labor until death..."
Liu Bowen leaned back on the chair and nodded slightly. Just now it was a matter of life and death, so he had to brace himself to deal with it. Now it had nothing to do with him, so he started to fish blatantly.
"But we have a lot of contact with fellow villagers. We even invited the flower drum team to celebrate the New Year for dinner a few days ago. How come we have never heard of these things?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Oh, who should I believe in this?"
"If you don't see something with your eyes and ears, how can you judge whether it exists or not?" Liu Bowen said slowly: "Would the emperor not understand such a simple truth? Or is there any taboo?"
"Haha..." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed awkwardly and said: "Ordinarily, you should be ordered to investigate, but that is Fengyang..."
"Yes, that is Fengyang." Liu Bowen said in a strange tone: "It is the hometown of the Huaixi hero who conquered the world with the emperor. If you throw a stone, you can hit the family members of the founding hero."
"We are not seeking favoritism, but the world is not at peace. With Wang Baobao in the north and Liang Wang in the south, we still have to count on those military leaders." There is no need for Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen to be vain.
"These guys also know that we need them. It won't work even if the imperial envoys go there. They all have to be driven back in disgrace." As he said that, Boss Zhu glanced at Liu Bowen with regret and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Liu is like this now."
, otherwise it would be perfect for you to be this imperial envoy."
"Hahaha, I am a useless person now..." Liu Bowen smiled on his face, but in his heart he was like a mother. He didn't know who he was suffering from because of his illness.
"But your highnesses are already adults." He then backhanded Zhu Yuanzhang's army. "With their status, they are much more suitable than the old ministers."
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "This is also a way."
~~
As soon as the holy driver left, Liu Lian quickly helped Liu Ji back to the bedroom to lie down.
"Father, has this level passed?" Although his father was already exhausted, he couldn't help but ask.
Liu Ji nodded and sighed for a long time:
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the great benefactor of our Liu family..."
After speaking, he whispered: "Write a letter to Mr. Guanzhong for me and ask him to come to Beijing for a meeting."
"Father, I have just saved my life, is it appropriate to have contact with that kind of person again?" Liu Lian was very reluctant.
"It's okay. After today, you don't have to be so careful as a father." Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, I owe you a favor and you have to pay it back."
~~
On the other side, on the way back, in the royal chariot.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still sitting and Zhu Zhen was lying on his stomach.
Seeing that he was holding a candy in his hand, but he wanted to eat it but was afraid to eat it. Zhu Yuanzhang softened his heart and said:
"Eat whatever you want. You won't lose weight even if you eat less candy."
"Give it to your father." Zhu Zhen was moved and offered the candy.
"Haha, you are a bit filial." Zhu Yuanzhang happily touched his butt and said, "Does it still hurt?"
"Much better." Zhu Zhen offered the candy more resolutely.
Seeing the child holding the candy in both hands, as if he would not take it back until he wanted to eat it, Zhu Yuanzhang was very relieved and opened his mouth to take it in.
"Well, not bad." He said vaguely: "Boy, do you want to go back to your hometown to play for a few days?"
"Go back to my hometown..." Zhu Zhen blinked, and suddenly his heart tightened.
My heart said, Father, be a human being.
Because he remembered a plot in the TV series that was still fresh in his memory...
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered his sons to go to Fengyang to experience the founding of their ancestors' foundations in Fengyang in order to let them understand the difficulties of starting a business and understand the sufferings of the people before joining the feudal clan...
After he remembered his fourth brother Yongle, he often talked about this unforgettable folk life to his children and grandchildren.
He also believed that his ability to fight in the north and south and not be afraid of the wind and cold outside the Great Wall was due to this experience...
At that time, he thought, what kind of good day must this be to make Zhu Di feel this way?
What he is thinking now is, could he still have his share in this good life?
But he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to ask. He was really scared of being played by his father...
