Chapter 2 Supervising the Country by Order

"The hero collapsed, the sick master succeeded, and the young master fainted."

"For those with evil intentions, this is a perfect opportunity to steal the country and usurp the throne."

Zhu Xiongying smiled slightly.

Beside him, Liu Ji was startled. He asked himself that he had been with the emperor's grandson for more than ten years and knew the emperor's grandson very well. But at this moment, he realized that he was wrong.

He originally thought that the emperor's grandson had no interest in the world, let alone the affairs of the court, and was only focused on cultivating immortality. However, the brief words just now completely exposed the pain points of the government and the public, forcing Liu Ji to redefine his judgment.

Today, everyone in the government and the public is looking forward to the death of Emperor Zhu.

Because once Old Zhu dies, the successor will be the crown prince Zhu Biao, who can't even get out of bed, and Zhu Xiongying, who was succeeded as crown prince by the emperor's grandson, is dedicated to cultivating immortality and immortality.

It is hard to say that the kings who are entrusted outside the country will not have some evil thoughts, especially the nine kings of the Great Wall who guard the northern border, all of whom have heavy troops.

"Old man, don't think too much. Living a few more years is the most important thing to you."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Liu Ji beside him.

"then."

With a casual throw, a small white jade bottle was thrown into Liu Ji's arms.

Liu Ji was not polite, he smiled and carefully put the small jade bottle into his sleeve pocket.

This small jade bottle contains the 'Qi-Building Pill', which is one of the rewards Zhu Xiongying received for completing the system training. From time to time, he would give some to Old Liu Ji. Zhu Xiongying once suspected that Old Liu's current health was half of the credit.

All come from these elixirs.

Of course, Zhu Xiongying often gives some to Lao Zhu.

But I don’t know why, maybe because Lao Zhu is a famous figure in history, and his destiny cannot be changed by the butterfly effect, so Lao Zhu, who died in June of the 31st year of Hongwu in history, has been in a downward spiral since the beginning of spring.

In an instant, the eyes of all civil and military officials began to fall on Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying.

To be precise, it was Zhu Xiongying.

After all, Abiao only had half a breath left.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The eunuch, who was about the same age as Zhu Xiongying and had a clean face, ran over quickly but spoke with a slight stutter.

"Gao, Prince Gaoshun wants to see His Highness."

Prince of Gaoshun County?

Which one is this?

Zhu Xiongying frowned. Old Zhu Long had too many sons and grandsons. There were more than twenty sons alone, let alone grandsons. He couldn't remember them at all!

Especially this year, Lao Zhu's physical condition cannot be hidden, and he has to hold a stick even when he goes to court. Almost every day, princes and ministers come to Taisun's Mansion to ask to see Zhu Xiongying. Some want to brush their faces, and some want to touch Zhu Xiongying in advance.

Temperamental, but also with other purposes.

But since he is the ‘king of the county’, it means that he should be a grandson of the same generation as himself.

"Your Highness, Zhu Gaosui, the third son of King Yan, was granted the title of Prince Gaoshun in the 28th year of Hongwu."

Liu Ji next to him added.

The third son of King Yan...

Zhu Xiongying slapped his head, arrogant layman!

"No, let him go."

This guy must be here to find out what his father, Zhu Laosi, is saying, and if someone says 'arrogant' in front of him, what should he do? Say he's going to pull him out and chop him up?

"Old man, you should go back first. Besides, you have been making more preparations recently. The time to show off your skills is coming soon."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xiongying walked towards a pavilion, where lived a pair of twin sisters who had just been elected to the Taisun Mansion last month.

Zhu Xiongying's casual words made Liu Ji's eyes slightly condensed, as if he understood something.

………………

Night, Haishi is right.

In Chengyi's residence, Liu Ji was sitting in the warm house warming himself by the fire, and his eldest son Liu Lian was sitting next to him.

"Lian'er, how is the situation in the DPRK these days?"

Liu Lian, who was supposed to have had his braids in the twelfth year of Hongwu, is now fifty years old and serves as the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is a fourth-rank official and can just wear a crimson official robe.

"not good."

"People's hearts are in chaos."

Liu Lian sighed.

"Kings such as King Ning, King Yan, King Jin, and King Qin sent envoys or ordered princes to come to the capital. On the surface, they said they were paying tribute, but in fact they were inquiring about the situation in the court."

"Well, according to theory, Your Majesty shouldn't have separated..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Ji looked at him and Liu Lian immediately swallowed back what he was about to say.

Lao Zhu killed a large number of people back then in order to enfeoff the land.

"Do you know what His Highness Taisun said to my father today?"

Liu Ji looked at the blazing carbon fire in the furnace in front of him, and recalled the four words Zhu Xiongying told him about "flexing his muscles". The vision of controlling the world in the past and planning Kyushu once again bloomed in his eyes.

………………

Taisun Mansion, Nuan Pavilion, side hall of Changsheng Hall.

The name "Changsheng" was given by Zhu Xiongying himself for auspicious reasons.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying was sitting cross-legged on the bed, thinking randomly in his mind.

Meditation, in Zhu Xiongying's opinion, means just thinking. Anyway, the experience accumulated from doing tasks for so many years tells him that as long as he doesn't sleep, it will be fine.

'I don't know how well Old Man Liu is preparing. The 'jumping exercises', which are more challenging than radio gymnastics, require greater physical fitness. I don't know if the old man can keep up.'

Prepare your physical strength and show off your talents. This is what it means. Lao Liu was moved to tears.

'Well...it's fun to have twins, but sometimes you can't tell who is who, they even scream the same, and the rain and dew can't get enough of them.'

'The Quan Yang Pill I refined last time can be very powerful, so I have to send someone to give some to Lao Zhu. Although there is a high probability that Lao Zhu will not survive this year, a man will die as a young man, and he will have to die on a horse.'

‘………’

As Zhu Xiongying thought wildly, time passed little by little.

Haishi, Zishi, Choushi, Yinshi.

The sky was slightly bright, and the dark circles were already appearing in Zhu Xiongying's eyes. As long as he could survive the Yin hour, he could sleep.

"drop!"

"Mission One: Complete."

"Task 2: Learn the spell 'Call the Wind and Rain', time limit is 24 hours."

'It's finally over!'

Zhu Xiongying stretched out a lot. You cannot change your posture while sitting in meditation. Just like playing an online game, you must perform a certain action after completing a certain task before it will be counted as valid time.

As for task two, let’s get some sleep first.

"Xiaobao."

shouted.

The stammering little eunuch outside the house quickly opened the door and came in, also looking tired.

"Go and call the Wen sisters over to warm the bed."

Sleeping alone is too lonely.

The little eunuch was used to it and hurried out of the house.

As soon as he left the house, less than two minutes later, the little eunuch hurried back again, his face full of worry.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, palace, palace, there is an imperial edict in the palace!"

Zhu Xiongying frowned.

Imperial decree?

When Lao Zhu has something to say, he usually directly sends Jin Yiwei to tell him, how can he follow the imperial edict process.

"Um."

With doubts, Zhu Xiongying stood up and walked out wearing a golden robe.

The main hall of longevity.

All the concubines, principal concubines, side concubines, and female eunuchs in the entire Taisun Mansion all woke up and knelt on the ground according to their status.

The eunuch who announced the decree was waiting at the front.
