My Daming New Empire

Li Liang led Zhu Zhanji's horse over, and everyone got on the horse one after another.

Apart from the neighbors, I came to the street, which is close to the Qinhuai River. It is a bustling business district, and it is the New Year period, so the street is very lively.

However, their team of more than 60 people and more than 60 horses all gave way to the side of the road.

Whether it is Jinyiwei, Habayashiwei, or the inner prisoner, they are all very capable of bluffing ordinary people.

Ji Gang rode by Zhu Zhanji's side, only half a horse behind. "Your Highness seldom goes out of the palace on weekdays, so you must have rarely seen the prosperity of the capital, right?"

Prosperity... Zhu Zhanji thought to himself, if you see a city in the 21st century, you will know what real prosperity is.

"The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and can enjoy this peaceful life. Isn't that what we politicians should do?"

Ji Gang thought for a while before he understood Zhu Zhanji's words, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's words have deep meaning, and the words are fresh. Those who are politicians... use this word well, and it sounds a hundred times better than those who are officials."

He wanted to use the topic to arouse Zhu Zhanji's desire to play, but Zhu Zhanji's words reminded him of his responsibility in turn, which also made him dare not test Zhu Zhanji again, for fear of leaving a mark in Zhu Zhanji's heart. A bad impression is worth the candle.

As long as we can hang on to this relationship today, it will last for a long time in the future.

Arriving at the restaurant Ji Gang reserved, next to it was a Dragon Phoenix Silver Restaurant belonging to Zhu Zhanji.The silver building has a good business, and there are many people coming in and out.

Ji Gang followed Zhu Zhanji's line of sight, and said with a smile: "The entire capital knows that His Highness's silver building is genuine, and the materials used are authentic. Nowadays, the business of other silver buildings is not as good as His Highness's silver building."

"Merchant, it's just a trail, it's not worth mentioning."

Although Zhu Zhanji has also entered the restaurant in recent years, it is the first time that a large force of more than 60 people and more than 60 horses came together.

There were not enough tethering posts on the street, but Ji Gang just waved his hand, and more than 30 Jinyiwei jumped out.They led the remaining horses to settle elsewhere, and Zhu Zhanji entered the restaurant first.

Growing up in the imperial palace, it is already the most luxurious palace in this era. An ordinary restaurant, no matter how beautifully decorated, is just that.

In an era without glass, large windows, and beautiful lights, everything returned to nature and simplicity.

Zhu Zhanji sat in the upper seat with his back to the window, not interested in the eight dim sum on the table.After inviting Ji Gang, Xuan Zhen and the others to sit down, he asked, "The Commander came to Dingguo's mansion today to find an orphan, what's the matter?"

Ji Gang wanted to stand up, but Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk, don't care about those empty etiquette."

Ji Gang hummed and said: "Today I came here specially to look for Your Highness, and I have three things I want to tell His Highness. The first thing, His Majesty asked Jin Yiwei to arrange four guards for His Highness. If we communicate, there will be no more misunderstandings like Xie Jin's."

Zhu Zhanji thinks that Ji Gang is very interesting. Although he has not seen the cruel side, but this official is really good. He can say anything, but it is comfortable to listen to.

No one in the whole capital did not know that Xie Jin was the grandson's Confucian master, but he still pretended not to know to deceive others.

But of course Zhu Zhanji would not point it out, he nodded with a smile and asked, "What about the second one?"

"Because of Xie Jin's incident, I have always felt a little sorry. I was also afraid that His Highness would offend me, so I didn't dare to disturb him. Today I also take this opportunity to formally apologize to His Highness and prepare a small gift. I hope His Highness can forget the past."

Zhu Zhanji deliberately pretended to ponder for a while before saying: "We all know what Jinyiwei is doing. Besides, it is the meaning of the emperor's grandfather to get rid of Jinyi, and it has nothing to do with you Jinyiwei. As long as you can recognize your position, Even if Li Liang is taken to prison tomorrow, I won't frown."

"I understand."

"No, you don't understand." Seeing him stunned, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "You don't understand Gu's personality, and Gu doesn't blame you. Jin Yiwei is a knife of the emperor's grandfather. Grandfather's dog. The knife must be a threat to others, and the dog must recognize the person being bitten, and not bite randomly. Otherwise, this dog is worse than not. Gu, never care about some conspiracy, because the way of heaven is here. "

Zhu Zhanji got up, turned around and came to the window, opened the window and said: "This is a bright world, this magnificent Ming Dynasty, this beautiful country, only those who have both virtue and ability can have it. The lonely heart is filled with the whole Ming Dynasty. Carefully remembering an insignificant matter and holding grudges against you? Not to mention my Confucian master, even someone I care about alone is insignificant in front of this country."

Ji Gang bowed his body and saluted: "This humble minister presumes His Highness with a villain's heart, please forgive me."

"I don't blame you, how can I forgive you? As long as you can serve the public wholeheartedly and don't live in self-interest, not only will you not blame you, but you will pay more attention to you!" Zhu Zhanji changed the subject. "However, Mr. Ji has a high position and authority, and Gu is just a grandson with no power and power. Gu's opinion must not be important."

But Ji Gang knelt on one knee again and said: "I dare you to ask Your Highness to clean up the left and right..."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, Li Liang, Xuanzhen, Yi Qingzi, including the commander of the two Jinyiwei, and Yang Zhangde, they all left the room silently and closed the door.

"What are you talking about?" This time, Zhu Zhanji didn't ask him to get up.

He still knelt on the spot and said in a deep voice: "Your majesty, I have never dared to have second thoughts. But I am also afraid. There are eight hundred civil and military officials who have died at the hands of my ministers these years. I, Ji Gang Although it is His Majesty's dog, to the Ji family, this minister is the family's sky, and it is not a pity for this minister to die alone, but he does not want his family to be implicated by this minister."

It is said in history that Ji Gang rebelled, which is of course a lie. He doesn't even have military power, so how can he rebel?

It's nothing more than a dead dog, and of course it's also related to his involvement with the King of Han. As for domineering, there must be some, but it shouldn't be that exaggerated.

As a lone minister, he doesn't rely on civil and martial arts, but only Jin Yiwei.Without the support of the imperial power, he is nothing. If he is a brainless person, he will not be able to get into his current position at all.

Chapter 29 Take refuge

Zhu Zhanji said deliberately: "I don't know what this has to do with Gu."

Ji Gang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is a dog to deal with civil servants. These years, I think I have done my best. But it is also true. There are not many civil servants who died in the hands of Weichen. Therefore, Weichen became The thorn in the side of those civil servants, the thorn in the flesh, all of them take it as their duty to get rid of me. The humble minister knows that he will not do well in front of the civil servants, but His Royal Highness is very close to those civil servants, including His Highness's several Confucianism teachers. I have grievances and grievances. Your Highness is not influenced by those Confucian scholars who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obedient to them. Therefore, when facing the King of Han's wooing, I can only push the boat along. However, I have never done anything The matter against His Highness is just to provide some convenience for His Highness the King of Han."

A smile appeared on Zhu Zhanji's face, and his voice became more gentle. "Then why did you mention it to Gu today?"

"Your Highness, I have learned that I have no choice but to drink poison to quench my thirst. If I get involved in the matter of seizing the heir, I will die without a place to bury myself!"

"Gu asked why you mentioned it to me?"

"In the past, Your Highness was still young. Although he was favored by the emperor, the humble ministers didn't know what kind of person His Highness is. Today, seeing Tianyan, I only wish His Highness to show mercy, and wish to be smashed to pieces to repay him."

"The king of Han seems to be admired by the nobles and the generals in the army more than the lonely one?"

"His Royal Highness is brave but not scheming, and his actions are extreme but not comprehensive. Besides, he does not take righteousness, so he is not favored by the court officials. In the past, the humble ministers had to make false claims. Today I have to meet with His Highness alone, only to know that His Highness is a gift from heaven. People with theocracy only wish to have the opportunity to follow His Highness."

Many transmigrators dress up as high-ranking people, and they often have a worry that there will always be troublemakers who want to harm me.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't.

The reason for this kind of thinking is that those who traversed were all inferiors and bottom-level people before.

Faced with levels and situations beyond their control, they always feel guilty, so they always feel that someone is trying to harm them.

But Zhu Zhanji is already a person at the top of society in modern society, and he contacts with leaders of various countries and people at the top of society.

Even the president, king, and warlords of a country have to carefully serve, fawn on, or win over when they see him. Facing these historical tasks, he does not have the slightest sense of admiration.

Any historical figure, even if he is a great official, even if he is famous in history, is actually just an ordinary person.

As the emperor of a country, Zhu Di also had a cold and fever.As one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Jin also had diarrhea.

Having already had two lifetimes of life experience, Zhu Zhanji has a natural sense of superiority and overlooking in front of anyone.

No matter how vicious Ji Gang is, he only faces civil servants and ordinary people.In front of the royal family, he was always just a vicious dog.

As long as he wasn't forced into a desperate situation, he wouldn't dare to turn against his master.

He is a smart man, he realized that the prince has been fooled by a group of literati, and he can't do well in front of the prince.

So when faced with Hanwang's wooing, he didn't take the initiative or refuse, and by the way, he did some favors in front of Hanwang.

But he absolutely didn't dare to get involved with Jinshouyi, because this would have exceeded the danger warning line and exceeded his duty as a dog.
