Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Fan Songde and Zhou Lixuan showed their superb acting skills, catering to the interests of Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou by bragging about the proudest things in their lives.

The three of them were so happy that they smiled happily.

"Well! The world was in chaos back then. We didn't know what to do. We only knew one thing: 'kill.' But we never imagined we could actually carve out a great Ming Dynasty and achieve some great achievements."

"Hahahaha! That's right! Back then, we brothers all fought behind Emperor Taizu's horse!"

"At my age now, can I still look heroic and extraordinary? Hahahahaha!"

"..."

Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou were all people who relied on their own achievements to show off their power and ask for this and that. They were not humble people with broad minds.

After all this flattery.

He was almost caught as a black carp, and he looked very proud of himself.

However, when the three heard the seemingly casual words "What can't you do?", the smiles on their faces froze somewhat unnaturally, and the corners of their mouths twitched a few times inadvertently before they all flattened.

These words seemed to be said casually by Fan Songde and Zhou Lixuan.

In fact, it was natural that the two of them said it in coordination.

Exactly because.

They know it now.

This group of people had been fooled by the man behind the little emperor into restraining their arrogance and temper, but one's nature can be suppressed for a while but not forever.

Now, each of them is feeling depressed - originally, they should be able to "do whatever they want", but the current situation is that they can't do anything they want - isn't this a precise poke at the hearts of these people?

of course.

Fan Songde and Zhou Lixuan understood everything.

They all looked surprised and confused, frowning and asking in confusion, "Brother Zhang, Brother Cao, Brother Zhu...? Did my younger brother say something wrong? Why are you so depressed?"

Zhou Lixuan even struck while the iron was hot, echoing, "Yes... You brothers are powerful figures in Yingtian Prefecture. Although the Ming Dynasty is under the rule of the current emperor, the current emperor must give you some leeway. I really can't think of anything else that could make you brothers unhappy."

Having said that, Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou naturally broke free from their previous complacency.

I realized the real purpose of calling these two businessmen here today.

Since we are going to use these two guys as guns, there are some things that we cannot say, but there are some things that we have to say.

Zhang Yi's lower eyelid trembled slightly.

Then he laughed at himself and said, "Brother Fan, Brother Zhou, you only know one side of the story. We can't really do whatever we want right now. On the contrary, we can't do what we want."

"Can't do what you want? This... how is it possible! Brother Zhu, please stop making fun of us." Zhou Lixuan said in disbelief.

Zhang Yi then returned to the topic and started acting.

He immediately sighed and said, "Although we brothers do have some merits, these merits also have different sizes, and the weight of words also has different levels of importance! For some things, we have to follow the Liangguo Mansion."

"You said that too."

"Your Majesty is determined to be a good emperor."

"He wants to be a good emperor, but if he becomes a good emperor, what will we eat? Originally, Lan Yu was also greedy, and his thoughts and actions should be the same as ours. But unfortunately, the current emperor is his nephew, and he can't understand it and just keeps tolerating the emperor, while we suffer."

"Last year, we saw the fat meat dangling in front of our eyes. We wanted to eat it and even stretched out our chopsticks, but they were pushed back."

Zhu Shou was not stupid after all. Although he had checked the backgrounds and identities of these two people and was impressed by their talents and abilities, he still only told half of the key information and kept the other half hidden, saying only what he should say.
