Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 222
When Zhu Yuanzhang said "I'm going to kill you right now", several Jinyi guards in the hall quietly reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife. It seemed that they would mercilessly kill Chen Yunfu on the spot just waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

A chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire Jinshen Hall.

"Since ancient times, when a ruler wants his ministers to die, it is disloyal if the ministers do not die. If a father wants the son to die, it is disobedience if the son does not die. When the father wants his ministers to die, the ministers should obey them. They dare not live in vain and be disloyal and unfilial. .”

Chen Yunfu still maintained that respectful posture, and his tone did not show any panic. It seemed that the conversation between the two of them was just an ordinary chat, rather than a great horror between life and death.

Zhu Yuanzhang squatted down and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"It's useless to be afraid."

"Then tell me again, why did I kill you this time? If you are right, I will spare you."

Chen Yunfu straightened his spine, raised his head, faced Zhu Yuanzhang and cupped his hands and said, "Then I will dare to guess."

"Well, let's talk."

"Your Majesty is too young, and His Majesty is worried that I will overwhelm the Crown Prince in the future, so Your Majesty does not want to leave any hidden dangers to Jiangshan Sheji."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became more murderous, he stretched out his hand, and gently patted Chen Yunfu's neck.

"You guessed right again. Why do you know everything about my thoughts? Why don't you deliberately guess wrong. If you guess wrong, I will forgive you."

"Come here, send Chen Da Yushi on his way."

Several Jin Yiwei drew their knives.

Biting murderous intent boiled at this moment.

Chen Yunfu still showed no fear, but calmly kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"The crown prince is heroic and wise, His Royal Highness Yun Wen is a benevolent and filial friend, and I sincerely congratulate His Majesty."

After saying that, Chen Yunfu gently took off his crown, untied the jade belt around his waist, took off his official robes, and put them neatly folded on the ground.

Then he stood up, turned and left with a calm expression, as if he was about to lead to death.

Behind him, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded.

"Chen Yunfu!"

"Okay, you know that I won't kill you, and you're still putting on airs, put on your clothes and get out."

Chen Yunfu turned around, immediately put on a playful and smiling face, ran back to get the official robe with a cry, and was held down by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Tell me, can I trust you?"

"Isn't the minister worthy of His Majesty's trust after all these years?"

Chen Yunfu and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other, and the former's eyes were extremely clear at this moment, as if they hadn't changed at all when they met for the first time ten years ago.

"Your Majesty bestows on the ministers to return to secular life and become an official. The crown prince bestows brotherly love on the ministers. Throughout the thousands of years of history, there are still a few ministers who can have as many honors as the ministers have received today."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, but Kefu asked again: "You have no rebellion, but you can't stop Chen Qiao's mutiny and the addition of yellow robes."

Chen Yunfu answered the wrong question and said: "When I entered the palace, I happened to meet His Royal Highness King Yan. His Royal Highness Yan looked very good. It seemed that he was going back to Beiping soon. His Royal Highness King Jin and King Yan were there. The Northlands will be safe and sound for decades."

After Chen Yunfu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his hand.

"Today, I am very happy."

"The same is true for the minister."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, watched Chen Yunfu put on his official robe again and bid farewell, and suddenly spoke.

"I am happy. I want to grant you a wish. Tell me. I will grant whatever you wish today. You can choose any promotion or promotion."

Chen Yunfu thought for a while and said.

"I just hope that today is the last time His Majesty wants to kill me."

Zhu Yuanzhang froze, then said coldly.

"Do you think my time is numbered?"

"Pfft!"

Chen Yunfu's complexion changed in shock, and he knelt down on the ground immediately, kowtowing non-stop.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intentions, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever without borders, without borders, without borders, Your Majesty."

"How can there be an emperor who lives forever." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his robe sleeves, turned around and no longer cared about Chen Yunfu who kept kowtowing behind him, just said Baoxiang.

"Preparing an edict, Chen Yunfu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has made great contributions in pacifying the chieftains of Huguang and Guizhou provinces. From now on, he will be restored to the Marquis of Wuzhong, and he will be given the title of Yipinzhu, and he will be given three thousand stones."

Behind him, Chen Yunfu finally stopped. At this moment, his forehead was cracked and blood was flowing.

"Sir, thank you Long En."

Chen Yunfu left, and the pool of blood left behind was quickly wiped clean by the servants. The night wind blew past, and everything in Jinshen Hall remained the same.

"My lord, are you sure you want to add it?"

Baoxiang asked: "When the crown prince ascends the throne, wouldn't Chen Yunfu want Duke Jin, Shangzhu Kingdom, and Sangu?"

"Give it to him, add it to the position of an extremely human minister, add it to the point where there is nothing to add, he won't turn back, and he won't move, what are you afraid of!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily, but he didn't understand why Baoxiang was shown.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang be sure that Chen Yunfu would not and would not turn against it?
"It's rare to have a confidant in life, well, call Na Qi De to see me."

The first thing Zhu Yuanzhang did when he returned to Beijing was to interview the three of them. At this moment, only Qi De remained.

The latter had been waiting at the Chengtianmen's position all along, and when Chen Yunfu came out, Qi De still pretended to be concerned.

"What's the matter, Du Yushi?"

Chen Yunfu raised his hand to touch the wound on his forehead, and smiled nonchalantly: "Your Majesty allowed me to be rehabilitated, and also gave me the title of Zhu Guo. I was agitated for a while, and when I went out, I tripped over the threshold and fell down. , let Shang Li see the joke."

Zid opened his mouth in disbelief.

Fujue, Jiazhu Kingdom?

Why?

"Okay, I have to hurry home to rest, so I won't talk too much about Shang Li, Shang Li and wait for His Majesty to summon you at ease."

Chen Yunfu left with a wave of his hand, and boarded Wei San's carriage, with a smile on his face all the time, from the moment he left Jinshen Hall.

This smile is not the ease of the rest of life, but the excitement of meeting an opponent.

"It's rare to have a confidant in life."

Chen Yunfu stopped and looked in the direction of the palace, where he had the best confidant in his life, even Zhu Biao was far behind.

Qi De watched Chen Yunfu leave enviously, and then received the news that Zhu Yuanzhang had summoned him, he quickly gathered his mind and walked into the palace.

"My lord, Qi De, a scholar of the Zuochunfang University, kowtowed to my emperor and bowed to Jin'an."

Qi De's treatment was much worse than the previous two, because Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even let him die, let alone give him a seat.

"I heard that you strongly advocated that Biao'er withdraw from the feudal clan?"

"Yes." Qi De was a little nervous when he spoke back, and he seemed so lacking in confidence: "I think that the feudal lords are too strong, and there may be a risk of losing their tails in the future. In order to ensure the stability of the society, it is most appropriate to withdraw the feudal lords at this time."

"After the abolition of the feudal vassals, the power will belong to the central government, and you foreign ministers will be able to gain more power, right?"

Just as Qi De was about to speak, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang scolding again.

"Stupid! It's so stupid, you are so short-sighted and ignorant, and you still want to bring down that Chen Yunfu? With eight of your brains, you are no match for him. You are simply hopeless."

Qi De was sweating profusely from being scolded, fearful and ashamed, he hung his head and didn't even dare to lift his head.

He only blindly responded to his promise.

"Yes, yes, I am stupid, I am ignorant."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Qi De, and finally waved his hands angrily: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Tomorrow's court meeting, I'm going to add you as Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Ah?" Qi De thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

Just now he scolded himself for being stupid, ignorant, and hopeless, so why did he turn around and promote himself to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War?
What kind of operation is this.

"Fuck off!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to explain to Qi De, so he just yelled and cursed.

The latter didn't dare to ask more questions, he quickly thanked En and resigned, and jumped up happily as soon as he left the Jinshen Hall.

Not to mention Qi De, even Baoxiang was really confused by Zhu Yuanzhang's magical manipulation.

Wasn't it a good conversation? Why did Qi De immediately seal a minister and drive him away after he came?

"Talking too much with such a stupid person, I'm afraid of being mad at him."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves angrily.

"Let's announce the imperial edict after going to court tomorrow."

"Yes."
