The fierce grandson of the Ming Dynasty

The following day, at the Korean government office.

Inside the study, Li Shanchang, who was over seventy years old, sat in a grand chair, holding an ancient book, and was reading attentively.

Li Cunyi paced back and forth anxiously in front of the desk.

"Elder brother, according to news from the court, Guo Huan and other officials from the six ministries who were arrested and imprisoned a month ago will be executed in the marketplace today!"

"And His Majesty has not stopped the manhunt. This time, who knows how many people will die... If this continues, I'm afraid it will be our Li family's turn sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shanchang raised his eyelids, his piercing eyes sweeping coldly over them, and he scoffed, "What's the panic? Coming here to mourn as soon as it's light!"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible had happened at home!"

Feeling a chill run down Li Cunyi's spine under his brother's gaze, he swallowed hard and said, "But..."

Li Shanchang stood up and interrupted, "No buts! As long as I'm here, the sky won't fall!"

This statement is full of pride and self-confidence.

This confidence comes from the head of the founding civil officials!

He was betting that the Ming emperor wouldn't go so far as to exterminate them all!

Before this, there was the death of Hu Weiyong.

If we were to kill Li Shanchang, how would we silence the people of the world?

These words had just been spoken.

The butler's voice came from outside the door.

"My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Upon hearing this...

Li Shanchang was not surprised.

Since two years ago, the imperial grandson has come to see him almost every month to seek his advice on strategies.

He did not rise to greet him, but simply said, "Please come to the study, Your Highness!"

"yes!"

Li Cunyi, preoccupied with his own thoughts, his eyes flickering, hesitated for a moment, then stamped his foot and said, "Since elder brother insists on receiving the eldest grandson of the emperor, then I shall take my leave!"

In a short while.

Guided by a servant, Zhu Xiong Ying, dressed in casual clothes, arrived at the house.

But Old Li didn't react; he was actually writing something with his head down.

I have already experienced their arrogant, rude, and domineering nature before!

Therefore, he didn't care much, and from a distance of about two zhang, he cupped his hands and said, "Xiong Ying greets Duke Han!"

Li Shanchang deliberately paused for a moment before slowly raising his head and saying, "The eldest grandson of the emperor has arrived! Let's sit down and talk!"

Zhu Xiong Ying said, "Thank you, Duke Han!"

Wait until you sit down at one of the several locations.

Unlike before.

Today, instead of consulting Sun Tzu or other military strategists, he went straight to the question: "Since following my grandfather in raising an army against the Mongol Yuan dynasty to restore China..."

"Does the Korean public believe that his grandfather's achievements are comparable to those of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han?"

The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, standardized the written language and the width of cart tracks, a feat that will last for thousands of generations!

Emperor Wu of Han consolidated the Han dynasty, defeated the Xiongnu, opened up the Western Regions, and his power extended to all corners of the world!

Two plus one, including Lao Zhu.

These three were all emperors of unparalleled stature throughout history!

This abrupt question was a complete freebie.

However, Li Shanchang didn't care. He merely glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "Your Highness is mistaken!"

"Although Your Majesty has restored the Han dynasty's rule, your merit lies with the people and the nation!"

"But it relies even more on the assistance of both civil and military officials..."

The implication in Lao Li's words was that he didn't think Lao Zhu could compare to Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Wu of Han.

Some even believe that Zhu De's achievements today are largely due to his contributions.

Without him, there would be no Ming Dynasty today!

Old Li has forgotten his original aspirations, he has changed, and he's completely useless!

It's completely hopeless!

It was this pride that made them feel they had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

That's how it became a death trap!

After asking a few more questions, Li Shanchang's answer was exactly as expected.

Inside and out, it exudes the superiority complex of a strategist of the state!

After Zhu Xiong Ying stood up, he continued, "Over the past few years, the Duke of Han has taught me strategies for defeating the enemy on the battlefield, techniques for fighting, Legalist doctrines of kingship and hegemony, and policies for governing the country!"

"Please accept Xiong Ying's bow!"

But this gesture of respect was observed.

Li Shanchang frowned.

I have a vague feeling that the eldest grandson of the emperor today is somewhat different from usual.

This feeling was fleeting!

Then Zhu Xiong Ying added, "While at the Korean public office, Xiong Ying has already learned astronomy, geography, and the principles of law, both ancient and modern!"

"I wonder if the Duke of Han has given any further instructions..."

Upon hearing this, Li Shanchang's gaze deepened as he stared at the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he said, "To be honest, Your Highness, I have taught you everything I can teach!"

"However, we must remember that knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial; only practice reveals the true essence..."

This statement is true!

Theoretically speaking, the grandson of the emperor had learned everything that he could teach!

A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, instructs in skills, and resolves doubts.

The true application of spiritual practice depends on oneself!

Speaking of this...

Having gotten the answer I wanted, there's no need to continue the conversation.

Zhu Xiong Ying didn't want to keep putting up with Lao Li's attitude.

He then bowed deeply and said goodbye.

"Thank you for your guidance, Duke Han!"

He gazed at Zhu Xiong Ying and stepped across the threshold.

Li Shanchang knew it in his heart.

After this farewell from the eldest grandson of the emperor, he will most likely never return to the Duke's mansion!

At that moment, he suddenly felt uneasy.

But thinking about all those things I've done for the sake of the Emperor and the world over the years...

I couldn't help but straighten my back!

Your Majesty, do you dare to kill me?

……

Zhu Xiong Ying left the mansion and took a sedan chair to the Imperial Hospital first!

Before visiting Duke Xu Da of Wei, I need to see Dai Sigong and find out how far along the smallpox vaccine production has progressed according to the method he gave me.

He had already discussed this matter with Lao Dai last year.

And every one or two months, he would take the opportunity to go out of the palace to take a look.

Our last meeting had already proven its feasibility.

Actually, it's not just the smallpox vaccine that can prevent smallpox.

Using his expertise from his previous life, he instilled a great deal of research theory from his later years into his "colleagues".

If it can be put into practice and proven, it will benefit the people and be considered a great act of kindness!

After an incense stick has burned.

After Zhu Xiong Ying got off the sedan chair.

Having been notified in advance, Dai Sigong and others lined up early and waited at the gate.

Upon seeing the figure of the imperial grandson, they bowed and said, "Your subject pays respects to His Highness the Imperial Grandson!"

Zhu Xiong Ying reached out a hand to help them up, saying, "You can all get up now!"

"I'm leaving the palace today, and I just happen to be passing by and want to take a look..."

When speaking.

Seeing Dai Sigong's flushed face and barely concealed excitement in his eyes.

Zhu Xiong Ying knew perfectly well that Lao Dai had succeeded!

If Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma knew this news, they would surely be overjoyed.

A moment later, they were ushered into the main hall.

This doctor, Dai, was like a child, constantly gesturing and dancing.

"Your Highness! It's done!"

"Following Your Highness's method, the smallpox vaccination program has been successfully implemented!"

"From now on, our Great Ming Dynasty will never have to fear smallpox again!"

Then, without waiting for Zhu Xiong Ying to ask any questions...

Dai Sigong then described the entire research and development process.

He explained everything in great detail.

Finally, he suddenly prostrated himself on the ground and said, "This humble...this humble subject thanks Your Highness on behalf of all the people of the world!"

See all of this.

Zhu Xiong Ying felt somewhat ashamed.

He pulled Dai Sigong to his feet and said seriously, "Mr. Dai, we were merely providing a general idea based on the methods recorded in ancient books!"

"But it is you who truly created it and brought benefits to the people!"

"When we get back to the palace today, we'll go and ask the Emperor for credit on your behalf!"

"Your Highness..."

Dai Sigong wanted to say something more.

But Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand, composed himself, and interrupted, "Merit is merit, and fault is fault!"

"Mr. Dai, there's no need for further words. Even in the future, the research and development of medicine in the Ming Dynasty will depend on you!"
