Chapter 175

If Liu Chun had to choose again, he would never have drunk any more.

Last time I drank, I almost missed talking about foreign trade with the nobles. This time, Zhu Di pulled him and drank a lot of wine. Liu Chun simply drank it out of pieces and knew nothing.

When he woke up again, it was already noon.

After a hangover, my head hurts so much!

"Sir, have some hot soup!"

The little fat dun was waiting by the bed. Seeing that Liu Chun woke up, he hurriedly sent the bowl over.

Liu Chun took it, took a big sip, and felt a little better, "Young Master, why didn't you go to school?"

Zhu Gaochi laughed and said, "Sir, I'm so confused. Thanks to what you told Duke Liang, let's take a day off every ten days. I plan to go shopping with my second and third brothers on the streets. My third brother has been sick all the time when he comes to the capital. It's only been a little better in the past few days... Sir, are you going?"

Liu Chun smiled bitterly, "I want to go, but Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and there are too many things to do. After the Holy Birthday, let's take a look at Jinling together!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Gaochi put away the bowl and left happily.

Liu Chun got up. Someone had prepared toiletries. After a cup of tea, Liu Chun came to the yard. He found Zhu Di sitting next to the stone table under the grape trellis, as if he was looking at something, and he also made admiration from time to time. Because it was just a back, Liu Chun couldn't see it clearly.

He came over subconsciously. When Zhu Di heard the footsteps, he quickly stuffed the things in his hand into his sleeves. In a daze, he could see that it was some manuscripts.

"You're awake?"

Liu Chun shrugged, "Your Highness is so good at drinking, I feel ashamed of myself."

Zhu Di laughed, "I couldn't drink in the first few years, but when I arrived in Peking and led the troops, I couldn't drink! And I could drink more than anyone else, otherwise wouldn't that make those grandsons laugh to death!"

Liu Chun was shocked. What is the reason? Could it be that the army can distinguish the level of drinking by drinking?

Wouldn't that mean that all those who lead the army are big wine barrels?

Liu Chun shook his head, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

Zhu Di looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Liu Chun, you gave me a lot of good advice last night, which made me suddenly realize!" As he said that, Zhu Di also looked at the things in his sleeves, like a treasure.

"ah!"

Liu Chun paused his hand. What did he say to Zhu Di? Why don’t you remember it?

He only remembered that before drinking, Zhu Di pointed out his thoughts. Liu Chun was very passive... So far, Liu Chun had not found any problems with Zhu Biao's health, and he couldn't tell why he died.

To be honest, Liu Chun hopes that Zhu Biao can be safe and sound. After all, this prince is truly kind, completely different from Zhu Yunwen's water-filled product.

It seems that many people are talking about it, saying that Zhu Di's success is because of his nephew's kindness, especially the saying "Don't make me have the name of killing my uncle," which is even more proof!

But there is a saying that goes well, listen to his words and observe his actions. After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and before Zhu Di rebelled... This Emperor Jianwen first attacked King Zhu Shi, who liked to compile medical books and sang operas, was a harmless person, and was sent to Yunnan by his nephew.

In the same year, Zhu Yunwen banned King Dai again, and turned the New Year, arrested King Min again in the name of "unlawful rituals", and then went to arrest King Xiang, forcing King Xiang's family to ignite the fire and burn the palace, and died at home.

Let me ask, King Zhou, King Dai, King Min, and King Xiang!

Which one is not Zhu Yunwen’s uncle?

Why are you reluctant to kill Zhu Di?

Is their uncle and nephew particularly deep in their relationship?

There seems to be no evidence!

Since that's the case, the saying "Don't let me kill my uncle" should be explained separately... Zhu Yunwen was not reluctant to kill Zhu Di, but told the general that you should kill Zhu Di on the battlefield and not bring it back, embarrassing me!

It is not kindness, it is clearly a death-induced talisman that hates Zhu Di for immortality!

Then someone would ask, since that is the case, how could Zhu Di survive?

Look at the entire Jingnan Campaign, how many generals around Zhu Di died? Not to mention anything else, the first hero Zhang Yu died on the battlefield in order to save Zhu Di.

Zhu Di often rushed to kill himself, and even Zhu Gaoxu, who had just grown up, went to the battlefield to fight desperately. Zhu Gaochi, Empress Xu, Monk Daoyan... Not to mention being an individual, even a dog was sent to attack the mountain.

If Zhu Di can win, it is no problem to thank the stupid strategy of Zhu Yunwen and the people around him. But if Zhu Yunwen is kind and lets the water go, it would be nonsense. After all, their level is so high...

In Liu Chun's opinion, Zhu Biao is indeed the first candidate, but once Zhu Biao dies, he can only stand on Zhu Di's side. After all, he and those literati cannot go with him.

It is precisely for this judgment that Liu Chun kept adding bricks and tiles to Peking.

Those transformed Mongolian soldiers, recruited Japanese samurai, workers from steel mills, porters from chariots and horses, boatmen from canals... can all become armed forces when necessary!

Especially when the Royal Bank branch was opened to Peking, the industry in Peking could be sufficiently funded, mining, iron smelting, shipbuilding, wool spinning, fishing... all of these could be developed. If it was truly in the Jingnan Campaign, the power in Liu Chun's hands would be completely burst out. At least it was certain that Zhu Di would definitely be easier and the trauma of war would not be so great.

But these things were prepared secretly by Liu Chun, and he didn't want anyone to know, especially Zhu Di!

But Zhu Di saw it through early, which made Liu Chun very distressed and passive.

"Your Highness, what advice did I give you?" Liu Chun asked in surprise. He couldn't remember at all.

Zhu Di did not answer directly, but chuckled: "Liu Chun, you set up a Royal Bank for your father and didn't get any shares. You helped manage foreign trade, and all the payments were charged into the treasury. You asked your second brother to build a fleet, but you didn't get any benefits... Why is this?"

Liu Chun rolled his eyes and said to himself: "I want, is your father willing to give it to me? Your Zhu family belongs to Pixiu, and you can't eat it alone!

"Your Highness, it is the duty of my ministers to take advantage of the emperor's grace and plan for the country. How can I get the benefit?"

"Otherwise!"

Zhu Di chuckled and said, "You are in Peiping, but you never polite to me. Do you think, how much money have you accumulated in the past or two years?"

Liu Chun scratched his head and said worriedly: "Your Highness, you won't want to force me to hand it over, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Di laughed, "Who do you think of me, Zhu Di as? Do you think I really don't understand? You are putting your life and life in Peking, and are ready to share the same boat with me! Zhu Di believes in his eyes, Liu Chun, I can only say that Zhu Di will never be stingy with friends and brothers! You... are Zhu Di's little brother!"

Liu Chun is so depressed, brothers are just brothers, why are you doing? Zhu Laosi, do you feel so good about yourself? If your elder brother hadn't died suddenly and your nephew was so stupid, how could it be your turn?

Judging from the current court situation, even if the crown prince is dead, there are also King Qin and King Jin, who are both legitimate sons, but they are much closer than you, Zhu Si.

Liu Chun suddenly remembered something again. It seemed that in the next few years, the King of Qin and King of Jin also died one after another, making Zhu Di the eldest son of the royal family. This matter was really fun. How many accidents did it lead Zhu Di to the throne?

Liu Chun felt that the court situation in the late Hongwu years was even more and more fog, which made people unable to see clearly or understand!

The more this happens, the more you should be careful, especially if you should not tie it to a chariot with Zhu Di too early!

"Liu Chun, you are talented and have great plans. What I said last night really made me realize. I have a clear idea. Let us brothers work together to accomplish this big thing!"

Zhu Di looked excited and grabbed Liu Chun's arm hard and kept shaking it. Liu Chun grinned, "Wait, wait!"

"Your Highness, what did I say nonsense? I forgot!"

"Hahaha, you are not talking nonsense, but scheming. You gave me a great idea!" Zhu Di said happily: "I finally know how to break the deadlock!"

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Chun was really anxious, "Your Highness, it's okay to be quiet and not move at the moment. You can't act rashly!" Liu Chun was really afraid that he would make a mistake after drinking and said something randomly. If Zhu Di believed it, it would be troublesome.

"Why are you different from what you said yesterday?" Zhu Di said unhappily.

"How do I know that it's different?" Liu Chun snorted angrily: "Your Highness, you should know that the prince has already handled the national affairs on behalf of Your Majesty, and is deeply loved by the people. All civil officials have surrendered. Among the military generals, Lan and Chang families are also strongly supported. Not to mention the Duke of Qian in Yunnan, the general situation of the prince has been completed. Your Highness can only wait for the opportunity. Now that he stands out, he will only feel disappointed!"

It was the first time that Liu Chun met Zhu Di with frankness, which was really nothing at all!

"Your Highness, what you should do now is to govern Peking. Your Majesty gave the vassal kings the mission of guarding the border and defending the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness grabs money on one hand, trains troops on the other, calms down and accumulates strength. This is the most important thing. Even if you don't manage your own nest well, you just hope for something else. That's an unrealistic fantasy! Your Highness, you have to be sober!"

Zhu Di listened patiently to Liu Chun's words and suddenly smiled slightly, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course! I'm considering it for Your Highness."

Zhu Di smiled meaningfully, "Well, since that's the case, then I can only follow the good deeds."
