Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 62 I have no personality
  Liu Ji was a little surprised: "Your Highness, you don't know the value of this confession, do you? Can it be sold?"

King Wu's shamelessness exceeded his imagination.

At the court meeting, Liu Jicai teamed up with Hu Weiyong to impeach the King of Wu. It was Li Shanchang who led the Huaixi Party to resist the East Zhejiang Party and protected the King of Wu. But now the King of Wu is about to sell the evidence of the Huaixi Party to Liu. base.

Even though Liu Ji had been an official for many years and had seen a lot of the filthiness of human nature, he had never met someone with such no moral bottom line like Zhu Ru.

Your Highness, what you are doing is so vicious!
  Liu Ji became suspicious: "Your Highness, I'm afraid your confession was sold to more than just me, right?"

He seriously doubted that King Wu
  Zhu Ting patted his chest and said: "Who does this old uncle think I am? If you don't believe me, I am willing to use my own personality to guarantee that this confession will definitely be sold to my uncle exclusively!"

Liu Bowen was a little doubtful: "It's not that I don't believe in Your Highness, the main reason is..."

He really couldn't make it up anymore.

With King Wu's style, it is difficult for people to believe that he has any personality.

"If Uncle Sincerity doesn't believe in this king's personality, then I will use the personality of my ancestors of the Zhu family to guarantee it!" Zhu Ru said immediately.

When Liu Ji saw that King Wu was playing such a big game and had invited all the ancestors of the Zhu family, he immediately gave up the doubts in his heart and said guiltily: "Your Highness, don't say anything anymore. I just believe it."

Liu Bowen is a great contemporary Confucian. Confucianism attaches great importance to filial piety and believes that filial piety and brotherhood are the basis for establishing a life.

Zengzi said: "I have heard from Masters that Meng and Zhuangzi's filial piety is also possible. It is difficult for him not to change his father's ministers and his father's government."

He never thought to death that someone would lie about his family's ancestors.

But having said that, Zhu Xi didn't lie.

As for the ancestors of the old Zhu family, he has never seen anyone else and knows nothing about them. The only ancestor of the Zhu family who is still alive is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang has no personality at all. Compared with Zhu Yu, Lao Zhu's moral level can be said to be as low as that of Zhong Bo.

"I wonder at what price your Highness plans to sell this confession?"

Liu Bowen said with some embarrassment, "To be honest, I am short of money and I'm afraid I won't be able to give you much gold and silver..."

During the years when he was in power, he was not greedy for money, only greedy for fame.

Liu Bowen regarded himself as a noble man and looked down upon those who were corrupt and amassed money. Money meant nothing to him. What he cared about was reputation, and he vowed to let the name Liu Ji occupy a place in history.

"I don't want money. It would be too vulgar to talk about money with Uncle Chengyi." Zhu Xi said with a smile, "I just want Uncle Chengyi to do me a small favor. No matter whether it comes true or not, this confession I will give it to you all."

Liu Ji did not agree immediately, but said slowly: "Your Highness, please tell me first what kind of help you want me to do."

He really valued the confession in Zhu Ru's hand.

With this confession, Liu Ji had the leverage to threaten Hu Weiyong, and he could also use the confession to check and balance the Huaixi Party as a desperate move.

But everything in the world has a price. If Zhu Zhu's asking price is too high, then Liu Ji would rather not have this confession.

All politicians in the world are proficient in business. They are good at using the political resources at their hands to trade for more political resources. This principle is the same as money begets money. The small can help the big, the big can support the small, and the people around them can benefit from it. Everything that can be used becomes its own political resources.

No businessman is willing to make a loss-making transaction, and Liu Bowen will not take too much risk to make a deal with Zhu Ru.

"I would like to ask Uncle Cheng to help me impeach someone."

"Who?"

"Sapphire."

Liu Ji was a little surprised: "Lanyu? Why does your highness want me to impeach him?" Zhu Ji did not answer this question: "If you don't say anything else, Uncle Chengyi will tell me whether you are willing to help me impeach this person."

Liu Bowen fell into deep thought.

Although Lan Yu had repeatedly made military exploits in the Northern Expedition, for now, it was not enough to make him feel afraid.

But the person standing behind Lan Yu made Liu Bowen feel troublesome.

Lan Yu's niece Chang is a serious Crown Princess. Although impeaching Lan Yu will definitely not cause Liu Ji to offend the East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not feel comfortable.

After all, Liu Bowen was able to come to the capital because of Zhu Biao's letter, but now the King of Wu wanted him to stab Zhu Biao in the back. With Liu Bowen's character, he really couldn't do such a disgraceful thing.

Secondly, Lan Yu’s biggest backer is Chang Mao, Duke of Zheng.

Chang Mao was the eldest son of Chang Yuchun. Although he died young, Chang Yuchun made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The wealth and honor he left behind was left to his son, and Chang Mao was directly promoted to the title of Duke.

If Lan Yu is impeached, I am afraid that even Duke Zheng will be offended.

Is it worth alienating the prince and offending Chang Mao for a confession?

Liu Bowen gritted his teeth and showed amazing courage: "Yes, at tomorrow's court meeting, I will ask the officials in eastern Zhejiang to collectively impeach Lan Yu!"

"Okay, it's settled!"

Zhu Xi immediately handed it to Liu Bowen as a confession, "Since Uncle Chengyi is so courageous, I have to be happy."

Liu Bowen took the confession. Although he felt much more at ease, he still had some doubts: "Your Highness, are you sure there is really only one copy of this confession?"

"Uncle Chengyi, do you not believe in the personality of this king, or do you not believe in the personality of the ancestors of my Zhu family?" Zhu Xi was a little unhappy, "If you don't believe it, return the confession to me, and I, the king, don't need you to impeach Lan Yu."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Your Highness has misunderstood."

Liu Bowen quickly explained, "What I mean is whether Jin Yiwei will do some small tricks behind His Highness's back, such as asking the housekeeper of Hu Weiyong's house to sign a second confession. After all, the person is in their hands, and it is not up to them to sign how many confessions. Forget it. Your Highness also knows that there is not only one confession, but its price is also far different..."

"There is absolutely no chance of this!" Zhu Zhu said swornly, "Ping'an, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was recommended by the king. I know his character, and Ping'an would never do such a shameless thing!"

Ping An really cannot do such shameless things.

But Zhu Ju is shameless enough.

Liu Bowen showed a satisfied smile on his face: "If His Highness says so, I will feel relieved."

……

After leaving Uncle Chengyi's house, Zhu Xi looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he took out the third confession from his sleeve.

This confession was exactly the same as the "exclusive" confession he sold to Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.

Zhu Xi said with emotion: "Old Xiangguo and Uncle Chengyi are both loyal people. Just believe what they say."

This is the biggest difference between ancient people and modern people.

No matter how extreme the ancients were, their moral quality was still very high due to the influence of the general environment. Throughout thousands of years, how many Sima things like Sima Yi have been produced?

As for the moral bottom line of modern people, there is no way to say it. To say it is to say nothing.

Zhu Rui's face was filled with a smile and he walked towards Hu Weiyong's mansion.

He would sell this confession a third time!
