King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Just know.

The prince would definitely ask this question.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's face was calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He looked towards the position of the crown prince with interest and said quietly:
"Don't ask me what I'm going to do yet."

"Let's talk about what happened at Daming Bank today. How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Should we choose to take it easy or strike hard?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, from what I understand, it seems that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, or the one who is involved in this matter today, is someone who has visited you before and is valued by you, and then you pushed him to take up the position despite all objections!"

"It seems that behind the scenes, he is known as your prince's favorite student!"

"As the saying goes: To fight foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the country."

"If we can't handle the mistakes of the people under our noses and the people involved in them properly, why do we turn to deal with those who are outside the situation? What's the basis for that?"

"If something like this happened to you, do you think you could convince everyone?"

"Do you think others would be willing?"

"Can others feel at ease with something like this?"

have to say.

That's quite cruel.

But in a sense, it also left the Crown Prince with nothing to say, and he couldn't find any fault with him at all, let alone find any evidence that Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu had deliberately targeted him.

Why?

The reason here is very simple.

Because although many of Zhu Gaoxu's words seemed to be deliberately directed at the Crown Prince, every word he said was absolutely flawless.

After all, even his own people, or those who called themselves the prince's disciples outside or even privately, disregarded the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and did not take the rules of the Ming Dynasty seriously.

As for the current situation, how can you force others to do this?
How do you see such a thing?
In other words, no matter how you put it, it seems that there is absolutely no logic at all, it is totally untenable, and there is absolutely no way to convince others!

At the same time, it was precisely because of this sentence that the prince was directly silent. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer this question.
how to say!

Not here, he didn't want to answer.

I am really speechless and reluctant to let go.

After all, that person's ability, to the point where he could become the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty, was almost like a person being trained to become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty in the later period. Needless to say, there was absolutely no objection to his ability and talent.

Just because of this little thing, just because of the current situation, you strike hard at others and deal with them harshly without any mercy. In a sense, it is indeed a bit of an exaggeration.

This kind of result is naturally not what the prince wants to see.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, just as Zhu Gaoxu said, the Crown Prince could not find any fault with it at all.

For this reason, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi had no idea how to answer this question, nor how to deal with the current situation, which led to him being caught in a dilemma. He was completely silent about the current situation.

Seeing the prince, his expression was even uglier than constipation.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was leaning on the side, couldn't help laughing at this. He didn't say anything to interrupt his thoughts. He just looked at him with interest, admiring his expression and look, and quietly waiting for his reply.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Zhu Gaoxu believes that the Crown Prince is an extremely shrewd person who can make very rational judgments on what is important and what is not. It is absolutely impossible for him to make any irrational choices regarding the current situation, and it is absolutely impossible for him to lose the big picture for the small.

Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, more than half a quarter of an hour had passed.

The prince, who had been lost in deep thought, finally came back to his senses. He slowly raised his head and turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu, who was staring at him with interest and grinning with a wicked look on his face. He asked in a deep voice:
"Second child"

"Does it really have to be this way for the current situation?"

"Do you really have to be so cruel?"

Faced with this question and inquiry, Zhu Gaoxu did not give any explanation and directly asked:
"Boss"

"You don't need to ask me about this matter."

"When we ask this question, you can first ask yourself what you think."

"If you think you can just go through it easily, or if you can hold it high and then put it down gently, then I have no objection. After all, the late Ming Dynasty belongs to you, not to me."

"In a sense, it doesn't matter. I can accept how it is handled or what happens, or I am willing to accept it."

"It all depends on your opinion."

It seemed like what was said now, but it was actually like nothing was said. In fact, in a sense, it had given the prince an answer.

After hearing this, the prince's face was slightly heavy. He did not continue to argue with Zhu Gaoxu on this issue, nor did he dwell on this matter too much. Instead, he half-closed his eyes and fell on Ji Gang, who was silent at the side, and ordered in a deep voice:

"Ji Gang."

"Deliver my oral instructions."

"Tell the Minister of Revenue to come to the Prince of Han's residence to see me immediately."

Ji Gang was slightly stunned when he heard this, but without any hesitation, he bowed respectfully and replied:

"promise!"

Say it!

He turned around and strode out of the outer courtyard, whispered a few instructions to the Jinyiwei who were waiting at the door, then turned around and walked back quickly from outside.

The actions and words between the two were naturally seen directly by Zhu Gaoxu, which also represented that the prince had made a choice, and perhaps the fate of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was involved in this matter would also change because of what was happening now.

After the current matter was dealt with, the prince turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu and said in a deep voice:
"Second child"

"Are you satisfied with the current result?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu half-closed his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, snorted coldly and said with a smile:

"Boss"

"Whether you are satisfied or not, don't ask me about this matter."

"You should ask yourself what you really think in your heart, and then you will have the correct answer. After all, you gave the order yourself, not anyone forcing you, and no one forced you or asked you to do so." "Isn't it?"

Is it true that no one forced him?
The prince sneered at such words with disdain.

What is happening right now doesn't seem to force him at all, but in a sense, aren't those understated words forcing him?

Everything that happened seemed to be decided by him.

But how many of these so-called decisions were not already predetermined or pre-set?
They were just waiting for him to give orders.

Believe it or not!
Regarding the matter concerning the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, even if he did not issue an order, the final result and outcome would definitely not change at all, and the consequences would definitely be more tragic than if he had issued an order and made a decision!

Why?

Because he knew Zhu Gaoxu's character too well.

Don't look down on this guy. He has a carefree personality on weekdays. As long as his reverse scale is not touched, he can pretend that nothing happened and will not take it seriously. But once his reverse scale is touched.

The consequences brought about by this guy's actions in anger are something that absolutely no one can accept. That is why, despite his relationship with Emperor Yongle, he still had Zhu Gaoxu under his control in many matters.

But there is a prerequisite here, that is, you must not touch this guy's reverse scale. This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows.

Having spent such a long time with Zhu Gaoxu and having grown up together, the Crown Prince actually knew better than anyone what kind of personality Zhu Gaoxu had and what there were that he absolutely could not accept.

That is to deprive the people of their money, or to be overly harsh on the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the people between the two are involved, no matter whether it is the Crown Prince or Emperor Yongle, they have to be extremely cautious and handle things carefully.

Why?

Of course he was afraid of angering Zhu Gaoxu and causing his bad temper to explode completely.

If it really exploded, the results and consequences would be completely unpredictable. God knows what would happen.

This is why, even if the Crown Prince is unwilling to deal with it, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who is involved in this matter, is reluctant to give up such a talent, and has to bite the bullet and make a choice, and has to bite the bullet and deal with this person honestly.

There is no other reason.

It is because this guy actually touched upon the vital interests of the common people, and even deceived and cheated the people. These actions, one after another, all touched upon the thunder points that Zhu Gaoxu absolutely could not accept.

These are truly fatal projects, and this bastard has taken them all.

For this reason, in order to save his life, he had to take the initiative to deal with the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was involved in this matter.

It seems that he is clearing up his own house, but here, isn't it the same? He is looking for a way for that person to save his life.

It’s just that many things, or many inside stories, cannot be told to outsiders.

But those who understand will understand, and those who know will also know.

Therefore, facing this rhetorical question, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and pointed at Zhu Gaoxu, who had cleared himself of all charges, with an extremely helpless look on his face. He directly skipped the matter in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"Second brother! Second child!"

"You guy, sometimes I really don't know what to say to you."

"Alright, alright, we've dealt with this matter. We won't let anyone down when it comes to cleaning up the mess."

"Now let's talk about the current situation."

"Some people knew the news in advance and were prepared to buy time for it. How should we deal with it?"

"When we were doing this before, we two brothers had some thoughts and guesses. I think you know more about it than anyone else."

"There have been discussions on this."

"At the beginning, you told me not to worry about anything for the time being, and told me to just wait quietly. When something happens, I just need to wait and watch the show quietly."

“Now that it’s happened, it’s out there.”

"I wonder how you are going to sing this play and how you are going to perform it for us?"

"I wonder if you could tell me a little bit about it, so that we can have a better idea of ​​what's going on."

"Of course, it also gives us peace of mind."

"How about not keeping this a secret? What do you think?"

Originally, on this issue, if nothing happened, Zhu Gaoxu would not intend to say or do anything, and he was even more unwilling to do that thankless task.

But now, things have already happened.

Then it is impossible for Zhu Gaoxu to remain indifferent to this matter.

Besides, before the opening of the Daming Money House, Zhu Gaoxu had already deployed his men and set up the trap early, waiting for those people to obediently fall into his prepared pockets.

to this end.

Zhu Gaoxu would certainly not have any hesitation or delay about this matter, and it was not a difficult task for him, let alone a big deal.

As he thought about it, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing. He half-squinted his eyes and looked at the prince in the field with interest. He pointed to the tea and chair that had been prepared for him early on, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay!"

"Boss! Boss!"

"It's not a big deal, nor is it a big deal."

"Don't worry, we have already prepared a response strategy for this matter."

"They dare to suck blood from the imperial court, dare to touch the cake in Bai Xin's hands, and even dare to play such a trick in front of me. Then I will definitely not let these people have an easy life, and I will definitely not let them achieve their wishes. I must teach them a profound lesson and make them spit out some blood for it."

"but."

Having said that, Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of intriguing smirk appeared on his originally silent face, and he said in a deep voice:
"Don't be anxious yet, don't be anxious yet."

"It's not the right time yet, it's not the right time yet."

"We have to wait for this arrow flying in the air to fly for a while longer."

"Otherwise, we won't achieve the desired effect, and we won't be able to really dig a hole and bury those daring thieves alive!" (End of this chapter)
