Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 357 The storm is coming

In Prince Jin's mansion, the atmosphere was like a pot of water that was about to boil but was holding back, so heavy that it made one breathless.

The towering palace was like a silent monster, with its tall columns standing there stupidly, as if it was also pondering the storm that might explode at any time.

The sun struggled to penetrate the thick clouds, casting a few weak rays of light, but it could not drive away the depressing atmosphere that made people feel uneasy.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard were swaying gently in the breeze, but they looked as if they had been hit by frost and were soft and limp.

Just like Li Fengci right now, his mood is full of ups and downs.

At this time, the sky became increasingly gloomy, and dark clouds rolled and surged like ink.

It was as if a huge black pot was turned upside down above the Prince Jin's Mansion, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Occasionally a few birds flew by, as if trying to avoid the coming storm, just like Li Fengci's heart trying to escape Zhu Gang's anger.

Li Fengci stood aside with his head hung, his hands trembling slightly as if he had a seizure.

His eyes drifted here and there.

My heart felt like the surface of a lake blown by a strong wind, extremely chaotic.

Li Fengci would occasionally steal a glance at Zhu Gang who was sitting upright.

Every time their eyes met, he felt as if someone was tugging at his heart.

Li Fengci muttered in his heart: "Oh my god, His Highness is so furious, I am in trouble this time.

But what can I do with the mess at home?

The family is now in a mess, with different branches fighting fiercely for the little property and power.

Once the older generation in charge left, the younger generation was unable to take over, and the whole family became like a headless fly, fluttering around in confusion.

I wish I could get a promotion in the palace.

Maybe I can go back and calm the situation down and sort out this mess."

Zhu Gang's face was as dark as a rainstorm, and the oppressive energy in his face made Li Fengci feel like he had trouble breathing.

He frowned, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and there seemed to be two fires burning inside.

In fact, Zhu Gang was angry not only because of Li Fengci's incident.

There have been a lot of things going on in the palace recently, with troubles coming one after another from all directions. He is already exhausted.

The incident with Li Fengci was like plucking a taut string again, and the anger rose sharply.

Zhu Gang was also worried. He knew that as the head of the family, he had to uphold justice and rules, even if others were not happy about it.

But looking at the disappointing expressions of the people below, Zhu Gang felt anxious and angry.

"Humph, if you want to get promoted in the palace, you have to rely on real ability and merit, not on connections!"

Zhu Gang's voice was like thunder, booming in the hall and making Li Fengci's ears buzz.

He was so angry that he slapped the armrest, and the solid sandalwood armrest trembled three times.

"If I don't do anything about your mess, the palace will be in chaos!"

Li Fengci hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I am really at my wit's end.

The family is in such a mess right now. If I can't get promoted, how can I solve the family disputes?"

Zhu Gang glared at him, "Ridiculous!
Do you think you can solve the problem by using crooked means?

That will only make things worse.”

When Zhu Gang roared, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the hall.

The wind made the trees in the yard rustle, as if they were also worried.

The leaves fell down with a rustling sound, just like Li Fengci's panic and helplessness in his heart.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Li Fengci's forehead, flashing in the light.

His voice was trembling as he said, "Your Highness, I have no choice.

The house is in such a mess, I just want to find a way out for it."

His voice was tearful, like a desperate child asking for help.

But he knew in his heart that he was doing the wrong thing, but he really had no other choice!
Li Fengci rubbed his hands unconsciously and leaned forward.

He seemed to want to explain to Zhu Gang, but when he saw Zhu Gang's scary eyes, he shrank back.

Li Fengci's face was as white as winter snow, without a trace of blood.

It looked like there was a little mouse running around in my heart, and I was extremely scared.

His two hands were twisted together, and his fingers were twisted white. Li Fengci's body was trembling at this time, just like a leaf shivering in the cold wind.

There was fear and regret in his eyes.

He was afraid that Zhu Gang would get angry and bring disaster upon himself.

Li Fengci regretted taking this wrong path, but the mess at home left him with no choice.

His eyes were confused for a moment, and then seemed determined to change.

"Bullshit!"

Zhu Gang roared, stood up suddenly, and his robe rustled.

His face was distorted with anger and veins were bulging on his forehead.

"Can you just break the palace's rules?
Think about Lian Po and Lin Xiangru. Lian Po was so powerful, but it was because Lin Xiangru was sensible and went to admit his mistake while carrying a whip on his back.

In our palace, it depends on ability and character."

Zhu Gang strode up to Li Fengci and looked down at him.

That look was like a needle, able to pierce through one's heart.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

Zhu Gang's voice sounded like thunder in Li Fengci's ears.

Li Fengci replied with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong.

But I am also forced into a dilemma by my family's predicament!"

At this time, the sky became even darker.

The dark clouds were rolling like the bottom of a black pot, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

The howling wind made the flags in the palace flutter, as if cheering for the tense situation.

Li Fengci's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

His lips were trembling and he couldn't say anything, so he just shook his head.

Li Fengci was filled with fear and regret: "Am I really wrong?

But what should I do with the thing at home?

Is there no better solution?"

He was so nervous that he tugged at the corner of his clothes, and his fingers almost tore the clothes.

Zhu Gang flicked his sleeves, and the big sleeves drew a hard arc in the air.

The wind blew on Li Fengci's face, causing pain.

Li Fengci also knew that this matter was serious. If he didn't take any action, the palace would be in chaos.

When Zhang Changshi saw this situation, he hurried over.

"Your Highness, calm down.

We need to think this over carefully and give everyone a fair explanation."

Zhang Changshi's face was full of anxiety and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He has been in the palace for so many years and has seen everything.

But this time Zhang Changshi also has a headache!

On the one hand, he had to appease Zhu Gang, and on the other hand, he had to settle the matter of Li Fengci, and he also had to guard against other people who might cause trouble.

Zhu Gang glared at Zhang Changshi with eyes as sharp as knives.

"Zhang Changshi, I will give you three days to get this done.

If you are not convinced, I will teach you a lesson!"

After saying this, Zhu Gang flicked his sleeves and left.

The footsteps were so heavy that they seemed to create a hole in the ground.

At this time, the wind was stronger and the palace door creaked.

Zhang Changshi's back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat.

He knew Zhu Gang's temper. If he couldn't handle this matter well, his future would be in jeopardy.
