King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

The tone is not ordinary.

There was silence in the courtyard, which made Yang Shiqi stunned. He looked at Chen Ji, who was staring at him with a smile, with an expression of disbelief. Then, with great curiosity, he took the simple catalog and thoughts that Chen Ji had sorted out today and read them with doubt and amazement.

As the content came into view, the curiosity on Yang Shiqi's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was replaced by a look of confusion and puzzlement. He looked at the rice paper in his hand, then at Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince who were leisurely drinking hot tea, and at Chen Ji who was standing next to him, staring at his reaction. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer or what to say.

It's not that Yang Shiqi couldn't understand the catalogue and thoughts that Chen Ji had organized and sorted out.

I understood what I saw, and at the same time, I was familiar with the contents recorded on the rice paper. Naturally, I knew what these directories and contents referred to and represented.

However, he really couldn't understand what the use of these things was. How could they deserve such an evaluation from Chen Ji? And how could the Crown Prince and the Prince of Han, two old foxes, treat them so seriously.

To Yang Shiqi, these contents were nothing but some strange and clever schemes.

In his opinion, the only advantage of these catalogs and ideas is that they cover a wide range of content and involve a wide range of knowledge. He really hasn't found any other advantages.

Moreover, even though Chen Ji advocated that these things could bring about great changes to the Ming Dynasty, revitalize the country and bring benefits to the people of the world, Yang Shiqi really didn't see or discover anything from these contents.

Even Yang Shiqi couldn't help but wonder whether there was something wrong with his ability to understand this matter, or whether the Crown Prince, Prince Han, and Chen Ji were all seriously ill, or had been bewitched by some means, which made them so serious and regard these things as treasures, believing that these things could bring different changes to the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yang Shiqi calmly placed the rice paper in his hand on the table, turned his head to look at the Crown Prince and Prince Han, bowed slightly, and said carefully:

"Your Highness, Prince Han"

"Who said what is written on this rice paper?"

"May I tell this old minister?"

There was no other meaning in these words. In Yang Shiqi's opinion, the Crown Prince, the King of Han, and Chen Ji must have been deceived and cheated. For this reason, he wanted to know who was responsible for this.

At the same time, if possible, he could find an opportunity to inform the Jinyiwei commander Ji Gang of the current situation and let him investigate the situation thoroughly in order to catch those who deceived the prince and the King of Han.

Of course, regardless of whether he has achieved merit or not, at least one thing is the most advantageous thing for him at the moment, that is, after the Jinyiwei destroys and catches the swindlers, he will not have to be locked up in the dark Jinyiwei prison and do these things which are completely meaningless to him.

Hear this.

Seeing Yang Shiqi's calm demeanor, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Han thought that he was shocked and didn't know what to say, and then they couldn't help but look at each other.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaochi nodded and said:
"Second child"

"Since Shiqi asked, as the person in charge of the current matter, he is also the initiator of this incident."

"Then you should explain it to Yang Shiqi!"

Yang Shiqi: “???????”

What the hell, what’s going on?
This matter was initiated by Prince Han and was led by the Prince of Han.

The prince's answer and the conversation between the two men stunned Yang Shiqi.

At the same time, the expression on Yang Shiqi's face changed visibly. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, the look he gave Zhu Gaoxu from respect turned to hostility. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Hey, Zhu Gaoxu!"
"grass!"

"I should have thought of it earlier. I should have thought of it earlier."

"This bastard, Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu, is really still harboring evil intentions."

"You actually used this matter to deceive the prince."

"They also want to use this incident to take this prince's confidant to the imperial prison and make him spend his days in prison."

"It's simply unbearable."

As he thought about it, Yang Shiqi's changing expression and restless mind finally made him unable to bear it any longer. He could not wait to warn Ji Gang and let the Jinyiwei investigate the matter.

After all, the King of Han has a special identity, and his behavior has been unpredictable recently, making it difficult to understand and even more difficult to judge.

If we really put our hopes in the hands of people like the Jinyiwei, who knows if there will be any results!

Even though the Jinyiwei had no scruples when investigating court officials, had the power to execute first and report later, and acted extremely tough, when they really came up against a court prince, especially the most beloved son of His Majesty, some things would be really unpredictable.

to this end.

After a brief silence, Yang Shiqi slapped the table in front of him with a "bang", causing the messy rice paper memorials on it to fly and fall all over the floor.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochi and Chen Ji were all shocked. They all looked at Yang Shiqi in surprise, who was behaving extremely abnormally.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was about to speak and explain, did not have time to say the words that were on his lips.

"What a mess! Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

"This, this, this... This King of Han is definitely a thief with unrepentant intentions. He is deliberately fooling you here and is definitely playing a trick on you!"

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why did you believe the King of Han's lies?"

While speaking, Yang Shiqi picked up Chen Ji's calligraphy that he had just placed on the table with an indignant look on his face, raised it heavily in his hand, and said with great sorrow:

"What are these things for?"

"What's the point?"

"It's just some miscellaneous knowledge."

"How can I be worthy of bringing about different changes to the Ming Dynasty? How can I be worthy of the heavy responsibility of seeking benefits for the people of the world?"

"The only advantage is that it covers a wide range of content. But if we really talk about the wide range of content, can these things compare to the Yongle Encyclopedia that Your Majesty is currently ordering people to write?"

"Instead of sorting out this thing, it's more practical to look at the Yongle Encyclopedia."

"Moreover, most of the contents above have a lot of overlap with the Yongle Encyclopedia. Most of the contents above are collected in the Yongle Encyclopedia."

"Why should we waste time organizing and collecting here?"

"Doesn't this incident overlap with what happened in the Yongle Encyclopedia?"

"It's a waste of time and it's useless."

"His Royal Highness..."

"How could someone as smart as you be fooled by the King of Han? How could you listen to his lies?"

"This, this, this..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Yang Shiqi, who was angrily narrating his inner feelings and saying that the King of Han was harboring evil intentions, did not notice the change in the atmosphere in the entire courtyard, or the changes in the expressions of the Crown Prince and the King of Han. He continued to talk self-righteously, narrating his own humble opinions, and taking the opportunity to criticize Zhu Gaoxu, in order to prove that Zhu Gaoxu had bad intentions.

"boom!!!"

Just at this moment, the prince's face was as gloomy as water and he threw the teacup that he was holding in his hand heavily to the ground, causing debris to scatter and the tea to splash everywhere.

Then, Zhu Gaochi himself stood up from his chair with his hands on the armrests, stared at Yang Shiqi with anger on his face, and shouted:
"Shut up!" "Just shut up for me."

"You bastard, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Do you know what you mean by saying these things?"

"Who told you to say that?"

While he was yelling and scolding, the prince's portly body couldn't stop shaking, the fat on his face also trembled, his teeth chattered, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to tear Yang Shiqi's mouth apart and beat him up severely.

See this situation.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was originally in a daze, also came to his senses and understood everything in an instant. He knew that Yang Shiqi was a bastard who was pretending to know everything and did not understand what Chen Ji summarized. He thought that Yang Shiqi was planning something and had some bad intentions, trying to fool the prince!

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu also hurriedly stood up from his chair, fearing that Zhu Gaochi would be angry about this matter and get hurt. If that were true, his crotch would be soaked in mud and would become shit.

Then, he hurriedly stepped forward and held up the prince who was gasping for air, gently patted his back to calm him down, and said soothingly:
"Hey hey..."

"Boss, Boss, calm down, calm down, it's not that bad, it's not that bad..."

"There's no need to get angry about this. There's no need to get so worked up about this."

"look……"

"We're not angry yet, we're not mad yet, why are you standing here in such a hurry?"

"Come, come, come... sit, sit, sit... sit down and talk."

While speaking, he was about to help the prince sit down.

What a pity! I tried several times but failed every time.

He also knew that Yang Shiqi was so reckless in this matter and said such words that he must have really angered the prince.

Then, Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows, opened his half-closed eyes suddenly, and shouted angrily:
"Bastard thing."

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Is this what you call loyalty? Is this what you call goodness?"

"You will feel better only if you make the prince angry as well?"

"Are you satisfied now?"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu also lost his temper at this moment, and did not show any good face to Yang Shiqi at all, and continued:

"Yang Shiqi! Yang Shiqi!"

"Do you think that you are the only smart person in the world, and everyone else is stupid and easily deceived and fooled?"

"Is the prince stupid?"

"Or are you saying that Scholar Chen is stupid?"

"Based on the books they both read and the things they saw."

"Do you dare to say that you can defeat any of them?"

"Ok?"

This is said.

Yang Shiqi couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

Is his knowledge and experience better than that of either the Crown Prince or Chen Ji?
Yang Shiqi really had no confidence about this issue.

The prince is well-read and familiar with ancient and modern history. There is no dispute about this issue.

As for Chen Ji, he did not hold any official position and had no reputation.

But someone else, as a mere commoner, was able to coordinate the compilation of the Yongle Encyclopedia, convinced all his subordinates, and never made any mistakes, which made Emperor Yongle extremely satisfied.

It can be imagined that Chen Ji's knowledge is so vast that it is simply incomparable to any human being.

Compared with the two people in front of him, Yang Shiqi really has no idea who will win.

This issue.

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to answer this question and fell into silence.

Seeing that he didn't speak.

Zhu Gaoxu paused, glared at him fiercely with a sneer on his face, and continued:
"These are the two people I dare not say I can defeat."

"Yang Shiqi, do you think you are smarter than the two of them?"

"Do you think that the two of them are as easy to fool as those ignorant and unintelligent people?"

"Can it be beneficial to the country and can it really bring about different changes to the entire Ming Dynasty? Do you think they really can't see it?"

"Since both of them agree and think there is nothing wrong with it, I am very curious, what gives you the confidence to think that this is a pure waste of time, that this is my plan, and that I am fooling them?"

The words started out softly.

However, to Yang Shiqi's ears, it was like a series of heavy hammers, hitting his heart fiercely, echoing in his mind constantly, and the expression on his face was quite wonderful.

I don’t even know how to answer this question.

Yes!

Is the prince stupid?
This is obviously impossible. If you are really stupid, how can you get this position?
Is Chen Ji stupid?

Although he had no experience in officialdom or power struggles, he was familiar with historical allusions and the contents of books of various factions. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

Naturally, he is not someone who can be easily fooled, and it is impossible for him to be easily fooled by others.

Let’s talk about...King of Han Zhu Gaoxu.

Although the King of Han has recently changed his style of behavior, he is much more powerful than before.

But to say that he could deceive and trick the Crown Prince and Chen Ji into doing things around is obviously a fantasy and simply impossible.

Then what he just saw must be true. The only explanation is that he was too stupid, he did not understand it, and he self-righteously put on such a show.
