Chapter 86 Are you talking to me about conditions?

Watching Zhu Yuning leave, Li Jie also felt a little moved. This may be their first time, and it was also the last time they met before marriage. I am afraid that they can only wait until the wedding night next time.

"Hey! What type of man do your sister like?" Li Jie touched Zhu Yunxi next to him with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

"How can I know this?" Zhu Yunxiu looked at Li Jie speechlessly.

"Please ask me!" Li Jie said again. As a brother-in-law, he immediately felt different when he talked to his brother-in-law.

"You and my sister are already engaged, so why are you asking about these things?" Zhu Yunxiu was a little puzzled.

"It is because of engagement that we need to find out clearly. Marriage is not the end, but the beginning. I want to cultivate more feelings with your sister so that our future marriage life will be more fulfilling. Do you want to see our relationships disagree and quarrel every day after marriage?" Li Jieli said with confidence again.

"This... OK!" Zhu Yunxiu had no choice but to agree.

"By the way, how are the officials training in the Ministry of Revenue? When will the court promote the new algorithm?" After talking about private matters, Li Jie finally thought of a serious matter.

"It's almost done. Those officials have a basic foundation in mathematics, so it's very easy to learn new algorithms. Now they have started to practice with some old accounts. As for when to promote it, it depends on the emperor's meaning." Zhu Yunsheng replied seriously.

When Cao Cao was about to arrive, just as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, a eunuch rushed over and saw Li Jie immediately saluted: "Your Majesty summoned Li Ban to read!"

When Li Jie heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to see him again, he was also a little surprised. After saying goodbye to Zhu Yunyu, he followed the eunuch to the warm room. When he entered the room, he unexpectedly discovered that Zhu Yuanzhang did not sit there to review the memorials, but stood in front of the window with a serious expression, with his eyes set in the distance, as if he was thinking about something?

"See Your Majesty!" Li Jie stepped forward and saluted.

Li Jie's voice also interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's contemplation. He turned around, looked at Li Jie with a complicated look, and his expression was a little dazed. He seemed to have thought of something from Li Jie. After a moment, he returned to his usual calmness and said, "Have you seen Yuning?"

"I've seen it!" Li Jie was shocked. Although Zhu Yuning came to see him, Zhu Yuanzhang allowed him, the two of them had just separated and Zhu Yuanzhang had already learned the news. The intelligence capabilities of the Jinyiwei were too terrifying.

"What did you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"The princess asked me why I wanted to marry her. I answered truthfully, and in addition, I talked about the emperor's grandson." Li Jie replied honestly. Although there were only two of them in the room at that time, and Zhu Yunyu was guarding outside the door himself, he was not sure whether Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to eavesdrop.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to comment. He stepped back to the desk and sat down. Then he actually picked up the memorial and reviewed it. Li Jie wanted to ask the other party what was wrong with asking him to come, but in this case, he did not dare to speak. After all, Old Zhu is not Zhu Biao. He must be cautious and cautious when making a living under a moody person like him.

However, Li Jie didn't wait too long, and soon heard someone entering the warm room again. When Li Jie turned his head to look, he unexpectedly found that what he came in was Tang He who had visited before. He saw that the old man's face was rosy, which was better than when he ate beef that day.

"See Your Majesty!" Tang He blinked at Li Jie after coming in, and then saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Sit!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the seat next to him without raising his head. Tang He was not polite and sat directly on the chair. In contrast, Li Jie, the prospective grandson-in-law, could only stand.

Lao Zhu finished reviewing the memorial in his hand, then looked up at Tang He and Li Jie and said, "Do you all know about the Japanese pirates in the south?"

"I know that these Japanese pirates deserve to be killed. Those who have affair with Japanese pirates are even more hateful. Will Your Majesty send troops to clear them out?" Tang He said carelessly, but Li Jie next to him frowned. The Japanese pirates' problems are very complicated and cannot be solved by force alone.

"A group of small Japanese pirates have made me uneasy in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. I have sent troops to clear out many times before, but I still have no efforts. So I want to send a capable minister to inspect the coastal areas. When I find out the situation on the coast, I will make some countermeasures depending on the situation!" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment before speaking.

He also realized that it was difficult to completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates with force. There must be a reason for the continuous Japanese riots along the coast. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was able to collect a lot of information by relying on the Jinyiwei, he did not see it with his own eyes, so he did not understand the local situation and naturally he could not make the correct decision.

"Then Your Majesty means to think..." Tang He also blinked when he heard this, and then looked at Li Jie next to him. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have understood his intention very well.

"Although you are old, you are the one I trust the most, so this time I will let you take me a trip. In addition, Li Jie is your deputy, and you will help me completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally expressed his purpose of summoning them.

However, Li Jie was shocked when he heard this. If history had not changed, Zhu Yuanzhang would soon attack Li Shanchang. He finally became the son-in-law, but Lao Zhu suddenly sent him to the coast to inspect the Japanese pirates. This method was so familiar. At that time, Lao Zhu used the method of counting the treasury to subdue Zhu Biao, and now the same method was used on himself.

"I am willing to go!" Tang He agreed simply. He pretended to be sick for a while because he had a premonition that something big happened in the capital. Now that His Majesty sent him out, he was simply giving him a chance to escape from disaster. If he was unwilling to leave, he would be a fool!

However, what Tang He didn't expect was that after he agreed, Li Jie would make a statement next, but after he waited and waited, Li Jie next to him was motionless, but instead lowered his head and showed a thoughtful expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face also darkened and his voice was a little gloomy: "Li Jie, why don't you speak out? Don't you want to go?"

Li Jie also looked entangled, and finally stepped forward with a firm expression and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the old saying goes, "Your Majesty, you are here and you are not traveling far away. I am willing to share your worries for you, but I still hope that Your Majesty will take care of my parents!"

As soon as Li Jie said that, Tang He's face next to him turned pale, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale even more. His eyes were staring at him like a knife, but Li Jie was unmoved and stood there with a solemn expression.

Of course, Li Jie was willing to help Zhu Yuanzhang solve the problem of Japanese pirates, but there is another problem now, that is, if Zhu Yuanzhang takes action against Li Shanchang, will Li Jie's parents and family be implicated? After all, his father is Li Shanchang's biological son.

If Li Jie was in the capital, he could still mediate from it. He could not save Li Shanchang's family, but at least he could save his parents and family's lives. But if he was not in the capital, Lao Zhu would kill his parents and family together, and he would not have time to cry.

Old Zhu did a lot of things like this, such as the Duke of Yue, Hu Dahai, who was familiar to Li Jie. His son was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, but he still valued Hu Dahai. Hu Dahai did not rebel because of his son. In addition, Fang Xiaoru, and his father was also involved in the "empty seal case", but Zhu Yuanzhang still left him to his grandson.

As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all for the sake of the Lord. Even if the emperor kills your children, parents, you still have to be loyal to the emperor.

However, Li Jie was not Hu Dahai, and he never took things seriously, such as the king, the ministers, and the ministers. Therefore, he decided to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for a guarantee that no matter what happened to Li Shanchang, he would not involve his family.

"Are you talking to me about conditions?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly with his eyes wide open. Tang and Lengshe next to him were all sweating because he was too familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as the other party stared at him, he would definitely kill someone next.
