King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

That's what I said.

Those who hear it will feel a chill down their spine unconsciously.

What on earth is this trying to do? What on earth is this trying to do?
What a big hole this is!
Why does it feel like everyone is going to be buried?

After hearing this, whether it was the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi or the Jinyiwei commander Ji Gang who was standing aside like a bystander, they all shuddered involuntarily, and a hint of fear and panic flashed across their faces for no reason.

It is not the two people's fault for acting this way; it is just the two of them.

As for the person in front of him, having worked with Zhu Gaoxu for such a long time, it is simply impossible not to know him too well.

This is a real devil who wants to take people's lives. Even though he always smiles and treats everyone indifferently when he is free, only those who have had entanglements and connections with him know what he is doing better than anyone else.

If someone smiles at you, it's because you haven't done anything wrong at the hands of others, or you don't have any conflict of interest with the other party, and they are just too lazy to pay attention to you.

But as long as you really do something wrong at the hands of others, or have a real conflict of interest with them, or even touch the bottom line of others, then don't look at the guy who smiles at everyone now, he will really pit you, and you will not know how you die.

It's completely confusing. It's in the hands of others and can be manipulated at will. There is no other possibility at all.

For this reason, the two people at the moment, after hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, acted like this, and could not help but shudder subconsciously, and at the same time, they couldn't help but mourn in their hearts for those foolish and self-righteous guys.

"You said you"

"Why do you have to mess with this killer god when you can mess with anyone else?"

"Do you really think it's so easy to take advantage of other people's loopholes and make money from others?"

"When you want to make this money, don't you really know how to find out and ask the people in the court who is in charge of this matter?"

"Why are you so stupid as to keep your head down and just dive in headfirst without caring about anything?"

"It's okay now!"

"That loophole that you thought was revealed by others may be a loophole that others have prepared for a long time, or it may be a well-woven pocket that was deliberately left open in this matter. The purpose is nothing else but to wait and see what happens to those blind guys."

"Being blinded by the immediate benefits, they dive right in, and then fall into someone else's trap when they are self-righteous or complacent. I'm afraid that not only will they lose both the wife and the army, but they will also drag themselves into it."

“Simply”

"Sometimes, when it comes to current events, even the Crown Prince and Ji Gang feel speechless when they hear about it. They don't know how to evaluate these people."

"No matter how I think about it, I feel like these people are treating the court and everyone in the court as fools."

"It feels like these people are the only smart ones, or they are the only smart ones, and the entire Ming Dynasty court, or the officials who serve in the court, are all fools, as if they are all idiots."

"It's totally speechless and unreasonable. I don't know how to evaluate these individuals."

As they thought about it, Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw the helplessness and speechlessness in each other's eyes.

At the same time, I don’t know what to do about what is happening right now.

In this matter, it is not to say that there is anything wrong with Zhu Gaoxu, or that there is anything wrong with Zhu Gaoxu's behavior and style of doing things.

In fact, these are all normal, the most normal thing.

Even if Zhu Gaoxu's plan, or Zhu Gaoxu's plot, was to lure all these opportunists into the conspiracy and kill them all as lambs, there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, as far as what is happening now is concerned, in a sense, it is indeed those individuals who disregarded the laws of the Ming Dynasty, or attempted to exploit loopholes in the laws of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to suck the blood of the court and the people, which led to such a result.

Therefore, it can be said that these individuals deserved it and got what they got for their crimes. There is absolutely no question about it.

Of course, that’s what it says, and it’s also the truth.

But the problem is
If all these people were really put in there, forced into a desperate situation, with no way out, then no one would know what these people would be able to do.

After all, in this era, in the current environment.

Someone who can accumulate so much capital and possess such great wealth.

In a sense, who can be a mediocre person, and who can be an incompetent person?

How is it possible that there is no corresponding force behind it?

These forces have had such a large piece of meat cut off and so much blood shed at once. God knows what kind of disaster this will bring to the entire Ming Dynasty market in the future.

After all, money is being drained, so we must find ways to make money from other places to make up for the current losses.

Then there will definitely be corresponding price increases in some places, there will be corresponding price increases, and even market disruption and price gouging will occur.

If such a thing really happens, the imperial court will definitely have to step up to clean up the mess, or smooth things over, or even engage in a duel with these individuals within the scope required by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a thing was naturally not the result that Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang wanted to see. They were just looking for trouble. Such a thing might even lead to turmoil in the court, which was not impossible.

As Prince Zhu Gaochi thought about it, although he was unwilling in his heart and wanted some people to suffer for it, the situation was stronger than the person, so he had to ask Zhu Gaoxu about the real arrangement of this matter. He wanted to persuade Zhu Gaoxu on this matter. He didn't want Zhu Gaoxu to go too far and didn't want the situation to develop into a situation that no one wanted.

Then, he simply sorted out his thoughts, and asked with a heavy face and cautiously:

"Second brother! Second child!"

"Don't scare me. What exactly are you going to do? Or what is the situation?"

"What kind of plan is this? Can you at least tell us about this matter?"

"We are really scared!"

"Just don't put it here, and don't play tricks on us, and don't pretend to be profound or unfathomable, okay?"

"Speak out!"

"Let us see what your plan is, so that we can have a better idea of ​​what's going on!"

"Otherwise, given your personality, I'm really afraid. I really don't know what to do. Or, if something happens, I won't even be able to make it up to you if I think of it."

"Do you think it's okay or not?" Looking at the prince's appearance and listening to the tone of his voice.

Zhu Gaoxu understood this very clearly, and instantly guessed what the prince was thinking, or what the prince was worried about.

This is fear.
He was going too far and was afraid that he would mess up the whole thing or make it so that it would be impossible to undo it.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing. He half-closed his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaochi with interest. He pointed at him helplessly, shook his head slightly, and said:
"Hey, hey, hey."

"Boss! Boss!"

"Let's not scare ourselves and make ourselves uncomfortable, okay?"

“For some things, no matter how you look at it or from which angle, it’s best for you to know nothing.”

"If you don't know, then it means that you have no involvement in this matter, and there is no relationship or conflict."

"But there are some things, if you know or you know."

"Even if you didn't participate, to others, it means, or will make them think, that you participated."

"Our current status doesn't really matter at all."

"Anyway, not many people really like me, and not many people are willing to give me the slightest bit of good face."

"As the saying goes: If you have a lot of lice on your body, you are not afraid of being bitten!"

"Regarding this matter, no matter what happens or what the result is, for me, it can't be any worse than it is now."

“But you’re different.”

"You are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what you think, you should at least pay attention to your face and appearance."

"No matter what happens, I can just walk away and pretend that nothing happened. No one can do anything to me because I don't care at all."

"Especially the position that everyone thinks I will be flocking to."

“For me, there is no problem at all.”

"So there is no need to worry, and no need to care what others think, and no need to care how others view or think of me."

"These things that I don't care about are exactly what you care about the most, so I advise you not to get involved in them, even after we deal with the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was slightly involved today."

"Just stay at home honestly, don't go anywhere, don't worry about anything, just treat it as a vacation for yourself."

"Because once this matter explodes, once some people really go too far, then what is contained in this pit will no longer be just blood, but corpses and lives."

Zhu Gaochi: "!!!!!!"

Hey!
I knew that this matter was definitely a big deal and definitely not that simple.

Zhu Gaoxu's words now directly and further confirmed his guesses and suspicions.

He even couldn't help but think that, judging from the current situation, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhu Gaoxu might have already planned or had already begun to plan for the promotion of the Ming Dynasty Money House.

For this reason, from the very beginning, he tried his best to dissuade him from getting involved.

They wanted him to stay in the mansion obediently and pretend that he knew nothing, or to let him be responsible for everything and let him personally handle what was happening.

I'm afraid that from that time on, they had already started weaving bags to put people in, and had already started digging holes to pack up and bury people.

Just like that, after a brief moment of silence, Zhu Gaochi slowly raised his lowered head, and suddenly opened his half-closed eyes. He stared straight at Zhu Gaoxu who was very close to him, took a few deep breaths, and said with a solemn expression:
"Second!"

"This plan and idea."

"We can choose not to pursue the matter, and we can choose not to ask."

"But I want to know, when you were preparing for the Ming Bank and suggesting that I not get involved, did you already foresee what might happen and the outcome in front of you?"

"Or to put it more bluntly and in a more understandable way, have you been weaving a pocket since that time, quietly waiting for prey, waiting for some greedy people to crawl into the pocket you have woven?"

"I want to hear the truth about these things."

"I don't want to listen to those so-called, high-sounding lies, and those nonsense and nonsense official rhetoric."

"Just answer me directly. Three words."

"Yes or No!"

“Simple and clear!”

"May I?"

That’s all I have to say.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard seemed to suddenly freeze at this moment, as if time had stood still. No one took the initiative to speak, but each other's heavy and dull breathing explained everything. It was obvious that the thoughts in the hearts of the few people who seemed calm at this moment were not calm at all.

Just like that, after a long while, Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses from his daze, slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the prince who was so close to him, shook his head slightly, and showed helplessness on his face. He pointed at him and said in a deep voice:

"Boss! Boss!"

"Why on earth are you doing this?"

"Ask these questions, why is the answer to this matter so important to you?"

“Sometimes I really admire you.”

"Okay okay okay"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

"This matter is exactly what you thought it would be. Are you satisfied?" (End of this chapter)
