Chapter 72
Liu Bowen learned about the general trend of the Central Plains, and was not excited at all, but his heart was even more shadowed.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to send a letter written by Li Shanchang!
After reading the letter, Liu Bowen said nothing and was speechless for a while.
It is precisely because he saw that the future trend of the Central Plains was not Chen Bizhu that he dared not end now.
The power of the dragon is so great that it is so great that it is so great that it is so great that it is so great.
He only knows a little bit of qi-seeking skills, but is not a god and cannot tell who is the final winner.
He is asked to come out and bet.
If you make the right choice, you will never enjoy the future wealth and wealth. If you make the wrong choice, the whole family will lose!
This is not done by wise people.
However, now that he had just left the broken ship of Dayuan and had offended Fang Guozhen, who had offended the rebel army, he must not offend Zhu Yuanzhang again.
After thinking for a long time, he finally gave a reply.
I replied to Zhu Yuanzhang a blank letter and a jar of clear water wine.
...
Jinling, Yingbin Garden, Lixian Hall.
This is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang solicited wise men from all walks of life.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang received Liu Bowen's reply. When he saw this blank letter, the clear water wine was confused for a moment, and he didn't know what it meant.
There was a smart man named Li Shanchang next to him. When he turned his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he cursed:
"It's outrageous!"
"It's outrageous!"
"It's outrageous! Liu Bowen looks down on you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Li Shanchang explained indignantly.
"Liu Bowen did not write a word for replying, so he was speechless and had nothing to say."
"Wine, a jar of clear water, means that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water."
"This is clearly Liu Bowen is saying that he is a gentleman, so..."
Zhu Yuanzhang understood and his face gradually became cold.
He snorted coldly: "He is a gentleman, but we are not."
He said with hatred again: "What we hate most in our life is a gentleman!"
Li Shanchang continued to fan the flames.
"Please calm down."
"I have said this a long time ago that Liu Bowen will not come."
"He claims to be noble..."
"Who claims to be noble? How dare you claim to be noble in front of the upper hand?"
Suddenly, a sound came from behind, interrupting Li Shanchang's words.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and saw that it was Wang Ming. He immediately turned gloomy and said with a smile:
"It's Wang Ming, you are here. It's just right. You can help us come up with an idea. How can we deal with this ungrateful Liu Bowen."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the blank letter and a jar of clear water sent by Liu Bowen.
"Look, I sent someone to send a letter to ask the scholar Liu Bowen to come out to help me, but he replied to a piece of white paper and a jar of some century-old wine, which is clearly a jar of clear water."
"Isn't Liu Bowen's meaning just to be a gentleman and to be arrogant?"
"You said that such famous scholars and wise men are also capable people, but now they cannot be used by me, so it is difficult for us to deal with it."
Wang Ming was wearing an official robe, swung his sleeves, and walked over without any haste.
His official uniform was quite strange and majestic when worn on his body.
But his short hair was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang and others, but he looked a little weird.
To be honest, Wang Ming felt a little awkward when wearing this official robe.
I am used to wearing the simple and brimming clothes of modern people, and now I am not used to wearing the ancient wide-sleeved Hanfu.
Walking a little faster will bring out a gust of wind, which will force him to walk slowly.
However, Wang Ming did not regret it. Before, he was a god who was indifferent. He gave Zhu Yuanzhang some takeout and delicious food. He could only say that he was making soy sauce. He was outside the center of Zhu Yuanzhang's system and power, although he had a high status.
If you are favored, you won’t benefit much from practicing.
Now he has come to work in person and has the power under one person in the system. As expected, he has received more than ten times the blessing of his previous luck. With the nourishment of the mind in the spiritual platform, the results of his practice are even more and more miles a day.
"Oh, Liu Bowen sent a blank letter and Qingshui, yes, I understand."
"What do you think at the top?"
Wang Ming walked up, smiled, and bowed slightly to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Liu Bowen is a gentleman. If you look down on us, we won't be angry."
"What we think is that he can't be used by me, but I'm afraid that he will be used by Yuan Ting to deal with us in the future!"
"So, we want to..."
"The superior wants to kill him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not reply, but remained silent, but agreed.
Wang Ming smiled and shook his head slightly:
"No, no."
"Ascending the throne, there are countless literati and wise men in this world. Liu Bowen is indeed talented, but it is not worth breaking his own rules for him."
"Otherwise, if this is spread, the literati in the world will definitely think that you will not tolerate literati. Even if you ascend to the throne in the future, your reputation will be as cruel and unkind as the First Emperor!"
"I have read historical books at the top. How much did the First Emperor contribute to our Chinese civilization? But he was hacked by Confucian scholars for two thousand years just because of a 'burning of books and burying scholars'."
"It would be unworthy if it were just for Liu Bowen."
"And if you kill Liu Bowen like this, you will definitely lose more Zhang Bowen, Li Bowen, and Wang Bowen in the future..."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded straight after hearing this and sighed:
"Yes, Wang Ming, you are right. Liu Bowen cannot be killed."
"But it's a pity that Liu Bowen can't be used for me."
"What a pity? Who said Liu Bowen could not be invited? You just need to listen to what I said and write a letter and then give it to Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen will definitely come."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with confusion:
"Write another letter? But we wrote it before. Let Mr. Li write it in person, but you see, he replied to a blank paper."
Wang Ming glanced at Li Shanchang and laughed.
"Go to the top, this is yours. You said that you should write a letter by yourself if you ask someone to come out. Let Li Shanchang write a letter, isn't this going to destroy him?"
"Who is Liu Bowen? He was a Jinshi during the Zhishun period."
"Which Li Shanchang was a candidate of the same year as Liu Bowen, but he failed to win the title of Liu Bowen in high school."
"Since ancient times, literati have been the most inferior to each other, let alone in front of literati who are not as good as their own."
"This is not as good as his Li Shanchang is now Prime Minister of Jinling. How could he, Liu Bowen, come because of Li Shanchang's letter?"
"And don't listen to Li Shanchang's nonsense, just saying nothing, Qingshui is self-righteous."
"Liu Bowen's meaning of replying to a blank paper is that you need to write it back in person, which is considered sincerity."
"And a jar of clear water is said to be a century-old wine, which is even more interesting."
"He is blessing and admonishing the superiors, and advising the superiors to rule Jinling to be as clear as clear water and not as dirty as Yuanting!"
After Wang Ming's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but touch the goatee that had just been accumulated under his jaw. The more he heard it, the more he felt it made sense. This statement is a world of difference compared to Li Shanchang's statement.
Sure enough, do literati be inferior to each other?
Zhu Yuanzhang also understood Li Shanchang's thoughts a little.
Liu Bowen is more talented than him. If he comes, he will be defeated by Li Shanchang.
"So that's it... OK OK, Wang Ming, you're right, just say it, how should we write it well."
"It's very simple. You just need to write it sincerely according to your own wishes. After writing, add a line of words at the end, and say you want to come to Jinling to watch a good show that is rare in the ages."
The smile on Wang Ming's face gradually calmed down and gradually became colder, and he said in a low voice:
"This once-in-a-lifetime good show is called 'The City Tower is a fairyland, and the world is in the sky and earth'!"
"He will definitely come after he sees it."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more confused.
"What does this mean? The city tower is a law-making place, and the world is cut off? Who are we going to cut off?"
"Who else can be there? Of course, those who are unconstitutional and law-breaking, and should be killed!"
After saying that, Wang Ming reached into his arms, took out a stack of paper, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it and saw the first line of words on the first piece of paper, which was his familiar name.
His adopted son - Zhu Yong!
