Chapter 41 Liu Bowen’s future plans for Lin Che
Lin Che's words made Zhu Xi completely confused.
It has been half a month since he came to Zhao Prison. Every day, prisoners in Zhao Prison were dragged out and beheaded. Watching these people crying and screaming, they just wanted to be spared death.
How come Mr. Lin's situation, beheading has become a pleasure, it's incomprehensible!
There must be another reason for it! Thinking of this, Zhu Xi stood up and spoke sincerely: "Mr. Lin, please don't give up on yourself. I have asked someone to bring a letter to my father, asking him to find the emperor and pardon your death penalty!"
"I not only found my father, but also my mother. My mother is related to Queen Ma. She agreed to help and it will be done!"
"Mr. Lin, you are so knowledgeable and serving the imperial court, you will definitely become famous in the future. If not, we must rescue you!"
Hearing this, Lin Che sighed helplessly.
He didn't know how to explain to this kid that he really wanted to be beheaded by Lao Zhu so that he could return to his previous life.
What he just said was from the bottom of his heart.
This silly boy didn't listen at all!
"Zhu Er, I won't be able to tell you for a while."
"Anyway, don't waste your energy on me, okay!"
Lin Che waved her hand towards Zhu Xi, then picked up the wine cup:
"Either we drink and talk about other things, or I go back to the prison cell and sleep."
Seeing Lin Che's calm expression, Zhu Ping was completely speechless.
Although she didn't understand why Lin Che didn't want to leave the prison, get rid of her status as a death row prisoner, and regain her life.
But Zhu Xi knew that there were indeed some strange people and hermits in the world who regarded money as dirt and did not care about life or death.
"A great scholar like Mr. Lin, who would rather die than serve the court, must be this type of hermit!"
There was reverence in his eyes, and Zhu Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
at the same time.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the other three people, separated by a wall, were also in disbelief.
"I didn't expect that there are people in this world who are so indifferent to life and death?"
You know, the world is bustling, and I don’t know how many people are groveling and living like dogs just to survive.
Not to mention anything else, but just talking about the death row prisoners in this prison, even if there is a slight chance, who doesn't want to win to be exonerated and released.
Among hundreds of officials, there are only a few who intercede for those convicted prisoners.
But this Lin Che not only had no interest in the chance of being pardoned, but instead asked Zhu Ming not to meddle in other people's affairs.
Ants are still alive, let alone a living person!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he paid more attention to Lin Che's situation.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, Lin Che's voice came from next door: "My days are coming soon. I have taught you the knowledge over the past few days. You have time to summarize it."
"Also, the Ming Dynasty founded the country based on filial piety, advocating loving fathers, filial piety, and harmonious families."
"Zhu Er, you and your father are having trouble, apologize to your father when you go out, read some books at home, and don't make your old man angry again!"
"There are two days left. I will continue to give you lectures when I have time, but please don't bother me anymore. Just let me finish my last days in peace!"
"That's all for today's class. I'm leaving. Don't send me away!"
"Mr. Lin..."
Zhu Qingjiang chased Lin Che out of the door and watched Lin Che disappear at the end of the prison.
The secret room next door.
As Lin Che left.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still unfinished, slowly stood up from his chair and came to Liu Bowen's side.
"Bowen, what do you think of this boy?"
"Your Majesty, this son is like a dragon or a phoenix among men. He is the best among them. He is a rare talent!"
Liu Bowen stood up, bowed and replied.
"Your Majesty, I would like to venture to guess whether your Majesty wants to use this person?"
"I have this intention, but I wonder what your beloved's intention is?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide it, but looked at Liu Bowen with appreciation.
Liu Bowen is worthy of being known as the divine fortune teller. Even if he is terminally ill, he can still guess what he means by just a few words.
Unfortunately, now that my body is broken, it is difficult to play for him anymore.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little melancholy for no reason.
"Your Majesty, I boldly say that this son is useful, but not in the court."
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion. He did not understand what Liu Bowen meant. "Your Majesty, this son is a rare talent. He has an aloof and arrogant personality, but he is somewhat similar to a humble minister."
"I'm afraid that some of the noble officials in the court won't be able to tolerate him, which will inevitably lead to disputes in the court."
"Wei Chen is worried that this son will make the same mistake as Yang Xian in the end..."
When Liu Bowen said this, he stopped.
Zhu Yuanzhang also understood what Liu Bowen meant.
As a counselor from the East Zhejiang Group, Liu Bowen was highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was rejected and squeezed by the Huaixi nobles.
Gradually.
Above the imperial court, the Zhejiang East Group headed by Liu Bowen and the Huaixi Group headed by distinguished generals were formed.
The two groups fought openly and secretly.
Until Liu Bowen withdrew from the court due to illness, Yang Xian, the backbone of eastern Zhejiang, was framed by Li Shanchang and others.
The Zhejiang East Group was also completely suppressed by the Huaixi nobles.
As a student of Liu Sanwu of the East Zhejiang Group, Lin Che would inevitably be suppressed and suppressed by nobles once she entered the court.
This is also what Liu Bowen is worried about.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and then asked:
"Liu Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?"
"Wei Chen thinks that since Lin Che can't gain a foothold in the court for the time being, it's better to let him go outside. This way he can be trained while avoiding being suppressed. This is killing two birds with one stone!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent after hearing this.
this moment.
He already had a decision in his mind.
……
The palace, the imperial study.
When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to recruit General Xu Da.
at this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat behind the imperial court. A chair was placed in front of the imperial court, and Xu Da sat on the chair.
"Tiande, don't talk nonsense to us. Just tell me whether this battle can be fought?"
"Your Majesty, we can definitely fight this battle, but the Jurchen clan is hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, living scattered like some primitive people."
"Isn't it too worthless for our Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops to go deep into the barren land to hunt down these Jurchens?"
Hearing what Xu Da said, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and walked out from behind the court case and patted Xu Da on the shoulder:
"Old man, as long as you can fight, you don't have to worry about anything else. You only need to be responsible for destroying this group of Jurchens."
"Liaodong Nahachu occupied the southeastern part of Liaodong, and the Jurchens occupied the northern part of Liaodong. This Liaodong has been lost since the Tang Dynasty, more than 500 years ago."
"Tiande, we have the responsibility to conquer the Liaodong region and we can no longer let the Chinese land be ravaged by the Tatars."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the blue sky outside the door and said in a serious tone:
"It is reported that Naha Chu in Liaodong has sent envoys to contact Fu Youde about his intention to surrender. You will go to Liaodong this time to conquer Naha Chu in Liaodong, and then the army will advance directly to the north."
"Wherever the Liaodong Jurchens fled, I want you to chase them, sweep their courts and plow their holes."
"I'm going to kill you all, I don't want you to stay alive."
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was vicious, and Xu Da felt a chill all over his body.
"No women, no children, no children left?"
"No one will be left alive. Anyone who is panting will be killed by us!"
The Jurchen clan is not prosperous in population, but at least it is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands!
To kill the entire clan like this, even the women, old and young, is not spared, right...
Although Xu Da led troops in battles all year round, he was not a murderer, especially women and children.
I don't know how he was stimulated by the superior this time, but he actually asked him to genocide the Jurchen clan.
Seeing Xu Da's stunned look, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give him a chance to bargain and fight back.
"This matter is settled like this. When the spies from the front receive news, you will immediately lead the troops and set off."
"Just remember one thing for me, you must eradicate the Jurchen clan!"
"Tiande, if you dare to be merciful in this matter, you are the only one we can ask!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his tone was stern and his face was cold.
Hearing this, Xu Da shivered all over, immediately stood up and saluted: "The minister obeys the order!"
