Chapter 385: An Opportunity for Grace
Zhu Di, who was sitting on the throne, nodded slightly after listening to Zhu Gaochi's words and said, "In that case, you can go to Cao Guogong's mansion for me to have a look..."
"My son, I obey the decree!" Zhu Gaochi responded with clasped fists.
"Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will give you permission to resign!" Li Jinglong said quickly when he saw Zhu Di preparing to stand up.
"This matter will be discussed later!" Li Jinglong suddenly proposed to resign from his official position, which Zhu Di could not accept for a while. Although the reasons proposed by Li Jinglong were fair and square, Zhu Di wanted to see first whether Li Jinglong really had high-yielding grain varieties.
After the court was dismissed, the officials came out of the court in twos and threes, talking about the high-yielding grains that Li Jinglong mentioned. At this time, their focus was no longer on Zhu Ju and Zheng Ci's impeachment of Li Jinglong.
The news from the court also began to spread in Nanjing through various channels, attracting the attention of the people. Li Daliang opened a gambling game on the gambling boat. The highest odds were three thousand catties per mu, with a payout of thirty.
This move attracted many gamblers to place bets.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How can there be a thousand kilograms of grain per acre in this world..."
"I think it would be nice to have a weight of five hundred pounds..."
"What if? What if it really weighs a thousand catties..."
"Life in this world will not be exciting if you don't fight. I weigh three thousand pounds..."
"I weigh 1,500 kilograms..."
"..."
On the gaming boat, the gamblers were talking a lot and placing their bets.
In the study room of the Han Palace, Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State, Zhu Neng of Cheng State, Zhang Fu of Xin'an Bo, and Meng Ying, the commander of Jingwei, were sitting around Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, with sad faces.
"Your Highness, I winked at you many times in the court, why did you turn a blind eye?" Duke Qiu Fu looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a dissatisfied look on his face and said.
Qiu Fu is a die-hard supporter of Zhu Gaoxu. Although he is now the crown prince and grand master, his heart is still with Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu is the leader of the Jingnan military general group. He has an irreversible friendship with Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others. They are all in the same pot, playing horses and ladles, marching and fighting. You help me and I protect you. This is revolutionary friendship.
"Mr. Qi, do you think Li Jinglong really has high-yielding grains with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu?" Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while and then said, "I always feel that something is fishy, and there is some conspiracy behind this..."
"Conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy could Li Jinglong have?" Duke Qiu Fu frowned, a little confused.
In Qiu Fu's view, there are two reasons why Zhu Gaoxu did not become the prince. First, Zhu Gaoxu did not have enough prestige and did not get it; second, Zhu Gaoxu had no experience in handling government affairs except for his military exploits.
When Li Jinglong said in court that he had high-yielding grain seeds, Qiu Fu thought that Zhu Gaoxu's opportunity had come!
Qiu Fu's plan is very simple. If Zhu Gaoxu comes forward to defend Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong will definitely be grateful, and the two parties can reach cooperation in the promotion of new grains. Then Zhu Gaoxu will establish a high prestige among the people, and civil servants will naturally move closer to Zhu Gaoxu; and in the promotion
In the process of obtaining new grains, Zhu Gaoxu can also gain some experience in handling government affairs.
In the court, something happened suddenly. Qiu Fu could not tell Zhu Gaoxu clearly, so he could only use his actions to hint Zhu Gaoxu. As a result, Zhu Gaoxu clearly saw his actions, but pretended not to, which made Qiu Fu very puzzled.
"Duke Qi, do you know that Li Yunrui may have a weapon that will destroy the world?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at Qiu Fu and recounted what happened to Li Yunrui on the road a few days ago.
After everyone listened, you looked at me and I looked at you. They had no idea what Zhu Gaoxu was talking about.
"Your Highness, you actually believe this kind of kid's nonsense?" After being stunned for a long time, Qiu Fu said.
"I didn't believe it at first. After I came back, I sent someone to find some monks from Uzang and asked about Mount Kailash in detail. Those monks told me that Kailash means the treasure of the snow mountain!"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly and said, "Those Uzang monks said that Mount Kailash is covered with snow all year round and will not melt for ten thousand years. No one can climb to the top. Chakrasamvara lives on it."
Chakrasamvara, also known as Shangle Vajra, is called "Dengqiao" in Tibetan and "Demuchinge" in Mongolian. It is the deity of the mother tantra in the Supreme Yoga Tantra system and the vajra body of the Buddhas of the three generations.
Speech, on which thoughts are based, is the collective representative of the merits of all Buddhas. It is also one of the five deities enshrined in the Supreme Tibetan Secret Yoga practice, and its status is extremely high.
"Your Highness, the stories about gods and ghosts cannot be fully believed..." Qiu Fu said helplessly after listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words.
Qiu Fu was a warrior and believed in force. He had always scorned the theory of gods and ghosts. If the Ming Dynasty had not respected Buddhism and Taoism, Qiu Fu would have wanted to point his nose at Zhu Gaoxu. How could the majestic King of Han be allowed to talk such nonsense?
There was no way, Taizu was from a Buddhist background, and Buddhism had a very high status in the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Highness, what the Duke of Qi said makes sense!" Zhu Neng echoed from the side. Zhu Neng is not a die-hard supporter of Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Neng only has Zhu Di in his eyes. Today he was forcibly dragged to the Han Palace by Zhang Fu.
"I also know this, but I don't think Li Yunrui is lying!" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and told Li Yunrui about presenting the book.
"Has Your Highness read the book Li Yunrui dedicated to His Majesty?" Meng Ying, who was sitting at the bottom, asked.
"I have indeed read it. Although I can't understand the content of the book, I always have a feeling that those books are very powerful!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded, looking unclear and said, "One of the books
In it, it is written that two iron balls of different sizes, dropped from the same height, will hit the ground at the same time..."
"Impossible! How could they land at the same time? The heavier one must have landed first..." After hearing this, Qiu Fu said disapprovingly.
"At first, I thought so too! Later, I arranged for the guards to verify it many times, and it turned out that the two iron balls hit the ground at the same time..." Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Even so, what does this mean?" Qiu Fu didn't understand what Zhu Gaoxu meant.
"Today in the court, Uncle Zhou Wang and Zheng Ci impeached Li Jinglong. What do you think?" Zhu Gaoxu did not answer Qiu Fu directly, but asked.
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
"Presumably King Zhou couldn't bear the resentment that Li Jinglong had stolen the Zhou prince's palace, and wanted to take revenge on Li Jinglong..." Qiu Fu opened his mouth and expressed his guess.
"It should be like this! King Zhou has suffered a lot in these years and is feeling aggrieved!" Zhang Fu said from the side.
"If that's the case, why is Zheng Ci messing around?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at the people around him and said helplessly.
The generals around Zhu Gaoxu all came from thousands or hundreds of families through hard work. They were not familiar with many of the tricks in the court and were still in the process of exploring them.
Zhu Gaoxu was different. He was born in the royal family and received strict royal education since he was a child. Although those great scholars would not teach them intrigues, the way of controlling people would always be involved. As the prince and grandson, he will be a prince and a county in the future.
As a king, if you want to control your subordinates, you must understand people's hearts and human nature.
Zhu Gaoxu's political sensitivity is much higher than that of Qiu Fu and others.
Therefore, the first time Zheng Ci came forward, Zhu Gaoxu had guessed Zhu Di's intention. Otherwise, with the influence of the King of Zhou, Zheng Ci would never be able to help him stand up.
His father is planning to kill Li Jinglong. For Zhu Gaoxu, it can be said to be an opportunity, an opportunity to show mercy!
If during the downfall of the Li family, Zhu Gaoxu stood up to help the Li family, or rescued one or two, even if he could not turn the tide, there would always be a need to help the Li family. Then, the Li family would miss this
friendship.
Once Li Yunrui falls to him, Zhu Gaoxu believes that with the mysterious weapon in Li Yunrui's hand, he can arm-wrestle with Zhu Gaochi and even Zhu Di!
This is Zhu Gaoxu's plan.
After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's plan, Qiu Fu and others were a little confused.
"What do you mean by your highness, your majesty is preparing to deal with Duke Cao?" Xin'an Bo Zhang Fu's eyes widened and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu blankly, somewhat disbelieving.
The reason why Zhang Fu asked this was because he had placed a heavy bet on Li Yunrui. In addition to being a gold member of the Beauty Club and a glass sales firm, Li Yunrui had visited Zhang Fu privately and reached some deals with Zhang Fu. Only Zhang Fu and Li Yunrui could do this.
Know.
If the Li family collapses, not to mention that the deal between him and Li Yunrui cannot be reached, the investment in the Hongyan Club and the glass sales company will be in vain.
"It should be like this..." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
