I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 152 My father Liu Daxia! Li Dongyang: Who taught His Majesty these methods? Wang Shouren can go to Japan to experience!

When the Xihua Gate on Daming Wall Street was busy.

Jinling, at the entrance of Lin Mansion.

"Sorry, sir, my master is not at home."

Liu Haiyuan was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would be rejected. This made him almost feel embarrassed in front of a group of colleagues.

"Steward, could you please tell me that my father is Liu Daxia, the Minister of the Ministry of War in the capital, and he had an old relationship with Mr. Lin."

Naturally, he wouldn't believe the butler's rhetoric and immediately mentioned his father's name. He also knew that some people would look down upon others.

"My lord, our master is really not at home. I didn't lie to you. If you have something to do, can you leave a message of greetings? As soon as the master comes home, I will definitely pass it on to him."

My father is useless and can’t even go in and have a cup of tea?
Liu Haiyuan's face became even hotter, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at his colleague Li, feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a courtyard under his feet.

"Brother Haiyuan, since Mr. Lin is not here, let's visit him another day."

Another person relieved Liu Haiyuan's embarrassment and said quickly: "My father here knows Chen Shangshu, the Minister of the Ministry of War. How about... let's go to Chen Shangshu's house to have a look?"

Now they are really regretting it. They usually spend time managing relations with the capital, but it takes a long time to develop relationships. They already regret not taking care of Jinling.

In the past, every time they went to the capital, they were not received by a minister-level boss.

But when they arrived at Jinling, they couldn't even get through the gate of a mere garrison minister.

This gap is a bit big!

"How about we just go to the Shipping Department and report first?"

However, as soon as this Tiji's words came out, the others felt that they were familiar with each other. If they thought about it carefully, it was not Liu Haiyuan's words before. Immediately afraid of being rejected again, he quickly proposed.

"It's getting dark, they should have gone home."

"How about we go to Qinhuai River and talk about it tomorrow?"

The other person rubbed his feet tiredly and looked in the direction of the Qinhuai River.

"That's right! You should be able to meet many acquaintances by chance in Qinhuai River... Maybe you can meet Lin Shangshu there?"

As soon as this proposal came out, everyone's eyes immediately lit up, and they were all moved and acted immediately.

They know the temperament of these colleagues very well. If they are really not at home, they must be at Fengyue.

A few people quickly hired a carriage and headed straight for the Qinhuai River.

As soon as they arrived here, they felt like they were back home. The warmth of Yingying Yanyan healed the slight wounds in their hearts, as if they were back in Quanzhou.

"Miss Lianhua doesn't need poetry or money today!"

"Whoever pays more money will be the guest of Miss Lianhua."

"Ten hands of treasure money are on the rise! Young masters, you can bid!"

However... just when they thought they could finally relax, the new type of bidding taking place in the brothel also surprised them.

"what?"

"Ten hands of treasure! Your plans to pity the flower girl are too loud!"

"I just heard that the price of these ten hands of treasure money has almost increased by half!"

"That's right! What you guys did is simply driving up the price by x!"

As soon as this novel bidding came out, not surprisingly, it aroused protests from everyone.

"No... all the treasure money has been used in the brothel? This, this shouldn't be too outrageous, right?"

Bao Chao had just slapped him in the face today. Liu Haiyuan and others did not expect that even if they came to relax, they would not be able to escape Bao Chao's harassment.

Only then did he realize that the treasure notes were all-pervasive to Jinling.

However, they came to the right place, and finally got the complete news from the brothel.

……

Jinling was naturally quite uneasy on this day.

On the same night, Yangzhou was not peaceful either.

A house somewhere in Yangzhou, a pavilion by the lake.

Lin Han personally made tea for Li Dongyang, and his movements were very serious. Li Dongyang slowly stared at his movements. He was sitting in a very upright posture. It was obvious that his hemorrhoids had improved a lot.

"Mr. Ge, please."

Lin Han finally made the tea and brought it to Li Dongyang respectfully.

"Fengxian, you seem to be upset."

Li Dongyang took the tea and took a sip before saying.

"Yes, Mr. Ge, how can you not be upset? The students all feel a little confused and can't see the future."

Lin Han, who had always been calm, finally showed a trace of distress when facing Li Dongyang.

"Join the cabinet?" Li Dongyang naturally knew Lin Han's intention.

"Yes... not entirely. The student did have the idea of ​​joining the cabinet... But now I find that His Majesty's move to join the Cabinet is not what the student thought. Even if he is lucky enough to join the cabinet, it seems to be utilitarian, especially for His Majesty. This method of selecting people to join the cabinet...is very uncomfortable for students.”

Lin Han tried to describe his mentality accurately, but ultimately found that it was still difficult to describe clearly.

"But from His Majesty's point of view, he is almost bound to adopt this method." Li Dongyang said casually.

"Yes! This is the method His Majesty will inevitably take... But Mr. Ge, you are not afraid that His Majesty will be too radical and let..."

"I've been with His Majesty for so long. Don't you still know His Majesty?"

Li Dongyang looked at him curiously again.

"Mr. Ge, I don't understand..."

Lin Han nodded honestly: "Especially the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty that your Majesty is currently engaged in, I really can't understand it, and I can't understand it."

"Don't say you can't understand, even I can't understand!"

Speaking of this, Li Dongyang let out a long sigh, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes: "I have never taught him this kind of thing. It seems... since His Majesty came to Jinling from the capital, he seems to have changed."

"I know that His Majesty has a quick temper, but I never thought that who taught him this kind of thing? Prince Xing? Prince Xing doesn't have such ability, does he?"

The scheming Li Dongyang really gave in when faced with financial means.

He thought for a long time and didn't know where Zhu Houzhao learned these skills.

He also discovered that he never understood Zhu Houzhao.

Lin Han was silent, and carefully reviewed the several times he had met Zhu Houzhao, and also tried to analyze whether Zhu Youzhao had influenced Zhu Houzhao.

But upon review, he quickly discovered that Zhu Youzhao seemed to be surprised by Zhu Houzhao's actions. Those expressions didn't look like they were fake at all.

Obviously, Zhu Youqi does not have this ability.

"Prince Xing probably doesn't have this ability." He thought for a while and answered affirmatively.

"Then who taught him? Could it be that...it's really Taizu——"

This was an aspect that Li Dongyang was puzzled by, but when it came to this, he stopped decisively and did not dare to make any arbitrary comments. He could only drink tea. Can Taizu teach this method?
"His Majesty often goes to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, or... this month, he seemed to be in Xiaoling, staying for five days?"

Lin Han understood what Li Dongyang meant and followed suit: "Mr. Ge, when your Majesty is in the capital, do you always go to the Ancestral Temple and Taizong's mausoleum?"

"no!"

Li Dongyang answered directly and firmly, which was another point of doubt for him.

Throughout the ages, no emperor has ever seen such a fondness for running to the tomb. Zhu Houzhao also set another strange record invisibly.

"No...this..." Lin Han didn't know how to comment.

The two fell into a long period of silence again, each thinking about their own things.

"Fengxian, do you still want to join the cabinet now?"

Then, the calm was broken again by Li Dongyang, who once again brought up the matter of joining the cabinet.

"Of course I did."

Lin Han nodded seriously and then asked tentatively: "I just don't know, Mr. Ge, what's the attitude in the capital?"

"The attitude of the capital is that there is nothing we can do. We can only wait for you to finish it first. We cannot become enemies."

Li Dongyang didn't mind revealing this either.

"But the series of things His Majesty has come up with are destined to make the two cabinets fight. The capital... really doesn't care. Mr. Cabinet, do you really not care either?"

Lin Han tried to find out whether Li Dongyang was hiding anything. Facing an old fox like Li Dongyang, he felt that his level was not enough.

"So what if you care, so what if you don't care?"

Li Dongyang said with emotion: "As an emperor and as a courtier, we will eventually retreat."

Is it really that easy to be willing to retire once you have the power?
Lin Han looked at Li Dongyang carefully, trying to figure out every microexpression of Li Dongyang.

Unfortunately, I still can’t see through it.

"Gao Quan and Liu Wentai..."

He simply talked about it.

"Stop talking about them! Gao Quan can't achieve anything. I never asked him to expose me. As for Liu Wentai... you should stay away from him when you see a doctor in the future."

Li Dongyang was also a little angry when he mentioned this matter, and even gave Lin Han a kind reminder.

Lin Han knew that Li Dongyang refused Gao Quan and Liu Wentai's visit today.

"Then Mr. Ge, next you..."

Naturally, what Lin Han wanted was not this answer.

"Didn't Gao Quan claim that I was in Yangzhou? Haha, none of the officials who came with him were determined! Are they so eager to join the game?"

"Then, this will obviously force me to retreat."

"Tomorrow, I will return to Xuzhou."

Li Dongyang snorted coldly: "You still want to use me as a spearman. Is Gao Quan... qualified?"

Li Dongyang obviously easily saw through the tricks played by Gao Quan and others, and naturally he would not fall for it.

These words made Lin Han feel a little relieved. It would be better if he didn't go. The situation in Jinling was already complicated, and it would undoubtedly be more tiring if this group of people were to muddy the waters.

This group of people can't do any good things, and they are too good at doing bad things.

"Mr. Ge, have some tea."

After getting this clear news, Lin Han offered tea to Li Dongyang again.

"As for Fengxian, since you... want to join the cabinet! I will guarantee your admission! I will edit a letter and pass it directly to His Majesty from you. Your Majesty will definitely give me face."

However, at this time, Li Dongyang once again brought up things that Lin Han was more concerned about and gave him a clear answer directly.

As soon as these words came out.

Lin Han felt his fingers heat up and found that his fingers were inserted into the tea cup.

He didn't care that it was hot, and looked at Li Dongyang in surprise: "Mr. Ge, you..."

He didn't expect that what he wanted would be obtained so quickly.

With Li Dongyang's recommendation, his success rate in joining the cabinet increased by at least half.

"I... I'm just doing a favor! Fengxian, now that you understand the kind of person His Majesty wants... my recommendation is only half, you can just let go and do things for Your Majesty! I don't know what else to do. How long can I live... I want to see what His Majesty is going to do!"

"You don't have to worry about the cabinet in the capital!"

"After all, they are beyond reach!"

"If you are in that position, you should act in the interests of that position!"

"Anyway, after everything is done, I only need you to do one thing! Ask your Majesty to let Wang Hua and the others go. Wang Hua and the others are too old... I'm afraid they won't be able to go to the Japanese country! As for... his son Wang Shouren, he can be allowed to Going to the Japanese country to see the world, I feel that he should be able to achieve great things. "

Li Dongyang directly gave Lin Han a reassurance: "Anyway, with you in the Jinling Cabinet, we can feel relieved. His Majesty's cabinet should not all follow him. There should be someone with a calm temperament. I am optimistic about you!"

"call!"

"Students thank their teachers for their trust!"

Lin Han immediately stood up and saluted Li Dongyang respectfully.

His purpose of taking the risk to meet Li Dongyang was finally achieved.

"You don't need to thank me, you fought for it yourself... If it succeeds, in the future, consider issues more from the perspective of national justice, and remember to be worthy of your own conscience."

Li Dongyang accepted this gift and gave another instruction.

"Students remember!"

Lin Han nodded solemnly, trying to imprint Li Dongyang's demeanor at this moment into his mind.

Li Dongyang didn't waste any time, got up immediately, went back to his room and started writing letters.
