Chapter 24 Go and call the prince(1/2)
Zhu Zi'an was also in a mood with Li Xincai who had been waiting in the Taoist temple for a morning.
Helpless, depressed...
Zhu Zi'an was a little lazy in the morning. After getting up and having breakfast, he prepared to go to the Taoist temple to find his senior brothers and nephews to play.
However, I didn't expect that before my legs even stepped out of the door, I was blocked on the first floor by the cheapest uncle who had just recognized yesterday.
Less than a moment after sitting down, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Big nephew, what are your ambitions?"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zi'an with bright eyes.
This was last night. Zhu Yuanzhang stayed up for half a night, pondered countless questions, and picked out the most suitable questions to test his nephew's character.
"ah?"
Zhu Zi'an was a little confused.
"There are only a few of us here. My eldest nephew doesn't need to be shy, just say it boldly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at Zhu Zi'an with anticipation.
"The food tanks of the people in the world will never be empty. There is meat every day and new clothes every year. I will no longer be hungry and frozen..."
Zhu Zi'an Youyou said that this was something he wanted to do after coming from time to time.
However, considering the cruelty of Taizu in history, Zhu Zi'an did not expect to be peeled and worn.
All can only realize their wishes within the Wudang Sect.
"Hahaha, okay, I am worthy of being our nephew, good ambition..." Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his hands and was overjoyed.
Zhu Zian was shocked by his cheap fourth uncle's happiness.
He looked at his cheap fourth uncle with a puzzled face.
"Big nephew, do you want to be a high-ranking official?"
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
"In no mood!"
Zhu Zian said without thinking.
"Forehead!……"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and couldn't believe it.
“Why?”
"Accompanying the king is like a tiger? We are used to being a Taoist priest. If we become an official, we might either anger our superiors or the King of Wu, and then beheaded!"
Zhu Zi'an answered truthfully.
"We heard that the King of Wu was a wise king, the most reasonable person, and never killed innocent people indiscriminately!"
Zhu Yuan's face twitched, but he tried hard to defend himself.
"And, if you don't become an official, how can you achieve your ambition?"
"So, we're just ambition!"
Zhu Zi'an replied indifferently.
This contrast made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that he had the urge to beat someone up.
However, he felt very helpless inside.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "I wonder what did my eldest nephew learn from the old gods on Wudang Mountain?"
"Classics, boxing techniques, sword techniques..."
Zhu Zian replied slowly, but he couldn't understand his thoughts of being a cheap fourth uncle.
Is this a test to teach yourself?
Then why not ask questions?
"The scriptures, sword techniques... are not as practical as ever!"
After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with disappointment.
However, then he was full of smiles.
It’s better if you don’t have the ability, you can live your life safely and save yourself from entering the officialdom in the future and being harmed by ambitions.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that because of this sudden nephew, he could hardly control his nature.
When I thought of the memorials piled up like a hill on the desk, I could no longer sit still.
Looking at the fourth uncle who was leaving, Zhu Zian took a deep breath.
Somehow, sitting opposite his cheap fourth uncle, Zhu Zian always felt like he couldn't breathe.
Thoughts were rotating at will, and Zhu Zi'an turned around and headed towards the Taoist temple.
...
"Hey, senior brother, Mr. Li, you guys are..."
At the gate of the Taoist temple, Zhu Zi'an looked at the two people standing at the door, his face a little strange.
Is this a special trip to greet myself?
"Haha, we've met Master Xiao Zhu!"
After waiting for a whole morning, my stomach was filled with tea. Finally, I waited for the main owner. Li Xincai couldn't help but look overjoyed.
"I've met the chief executive!"
Zhu Zi'an quickly returned the gift.
"Come on, please come in!"
Li Xincai greeted him enthusiastically, giving people the feeling that he is the master here.
Li Xuanzong, who was standing beside him, looked surprised and felt something was wrong.
Why has this General Manager Li been so concerned about his junior brother since he entered Yingtian City?
Thinking of this, Li Xuanzong couldn't help but be wary of this General Manager Li.
"Hey, senior brother, why are those big cars still here?"
Suddenly, Zhu Zi'an saw the fifteen large trucks piled up in the courtyard and asked with some confusion.
"Um?"
Li Xuanzong was shocked.
"Greeting?"
Li Xincai was even more shocked and sweated all over.
I just said that I had forgotten something, but it turned out that the gift had been forgotten to explain in detail to the King of Wu.
Fortunately, in the past two days, Yingtian City was quite stable and there was no big mess.
Thinking of this, Li Xincai quickly turned his head, clasped his fists at Zhu Zi'an and Li Xuanzong, and saluted: "I'm very sorry, we still have one big thing to do, so I'll say goodbye first!"
As he said that, Li Xincai ran away.
After leaving the Taoist temple, he ran directly to the Palace of King Wu.
...
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Along the way, Li Xincai did not stop at all.
"Hey, have you been to the Taoist court? Why did you run back so anxiously? What happened?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
"What a big deal!"
Li Xincai took a breath and said slowly.
"What's up?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up directly, looking nervous.
"We forgot to report to Your Highness about the congratulations of the 15th car of the Wudang Sect!"
"It's okay, let's leave it in the prefecture for now, this matter is not important."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Li Xincai who was breathing heavily, a little dissatisfied.
"But your Highness, those fifteen congratulatory gifts cannot be damaged. I request to take them into the secret warehouse!" Li Xincai looked firm.
The secret warehouse was a warehouse specially built by Zhu Yuanzhang to store spoils after he conquered Yingtian City.
The Secret Library is close to the Palace of Wu, with strict defense and a battalion of soldiers who are always guarding it. It can be regarded as one of the safest places in Yingtian City.
"Oh? We're curious. How expensive are those fifteen gifts? You, General Manager Li, have to send him into the warehouse?"
To be continued...
