Chapter Eighty-seven

In the warm pavilion, a special confrontation is in progress. On one side is the angry Zhu Yuanzhang, and on the other side is the quiet Li Jie. He is completely willing to sacrifice himself. Anyway, he will die. If you, Zhu, really, will kill himself, the newly enthroned prince consort!

"Give you another chance and take back what I said just now!" Zhu Yuanzhang got angry several times, but he suppressed them all, and finally squeezed out a sentence from his teeth.

After becoming emperor, Lao Zhu hated others to make conditions with him the most. In his opinion, if you want to give it to him, you have to ask for it if you don’t want it. If you don’t give it, you must not reach out! Li Jie has made two taboos in this matter.

"minister……"

Li Jie was about to speak, but Zhu Yuanzhang on the opposite side was already furious because he had already got the answer from Li Jie's expression. He was so angry that he reached out and grabbed the inkstone on the table, and waved it to Li Jie.

Li Jie watched the inkstone fly towards him, but he was not as flexible as Zhu Biao, and was directly hit by the thick inkstone. This made him take a few steps back, then covered his chest in pain, and a few traces of blood were overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty calm down! Although Li Jie is a little reckless, his feelings are pitiful. Please be kind to Your Majesty!" Tang He, who was so scared that his face was pale, finally stood up and pleaded for Li Jie.

This surprised Li Jie a little because in his impression, Tang He is a slippery man and will never take risks to help him for no reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang smashed Li Jie with an inkstone, and the anger in his heart seemed to have subsided. Coupled with Tang He's persuasion, he slowly regained his rationality. He stared at Li Jie with a tangled look, and Li Jie was still full of stubbornness at this time, and he even put life and death aside, let alone a mere inkstone.

Zhu Yuanzhang also regretted it now. If he had known that Li Jie was a stubborn donkey, he shouldn't have given him a marriage. Now this kid is hard and he is sure that he dares not kill him. He dares to put forward conditions. Although he may not really kill Li Jie's parents, he does not want to be restricted!

"Okay, I want to give you the conditions, and I will solve the problem of the Japanese pirates first!" In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang took a step back and said with regret, but proposed a task that was almost impossible to complete.

"A word is determined, if the Japanese pirates are not eliminated, I will not return for a day!" Li Jie agreed without hesitation. Although it is very difficult to solve the Japanese pirates' problem, he had no other choice for his family.

In addition, to what extent can it be considered to be the solution of the Japanese pirates, there is much more room for operation. For example, temporarily eliminating a group of Japanese pirates is considered to be the solution, and completely solving the root cause of the Japanese pirates is also considered to be the solution. At that time, it depends on which step he can do.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Li Jie to agree so simply. He was stunned for a moment before he realized. Then he pointed to the door angrily and said, "Get out, come and see you if you don't solve the problem!"

"I will receive the order to thank you!" Facing the angry Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Jie deliberately performed a courtesy of his ministers, and then took a step away from the warm cabinet.

However, when Li Jie left the gate of the warm pavilion, all the cold sweat suddenly surged out, and even his clothes were soaked in several layers. He had really walked around the gate of hell just now. If he accidentally got the whole family, he would be killed. Fortunately, he had the right bet, at least Zhu Yuanzhang is still reluctant to kill him now.

"Hiss~, it hurts so much!" Then Li Jie stuck out his tongue and took a few breaths of cold air. There was a clear tooth mark on his tongue. Then he took off his clothes and looked at his chest, but he saw a piece of black green on his chest.

"It's so cruel!" Li Jie rubbed his chest and said vaguely. Although the inkstone hit hard, it didn't make him vomit blood. At that time, he deliberately bit his tongue and spit out a few traces of blood. This way, the injury seemed to be a little heavier, so that Lao Zhu would relieve his anger earlier.

Old Zhu obviously didn't want to kill him, otherwise the inkstone would not hit his chest, but hit him directly in the head. However, this inkstone was not in vain. At least he temporarily received a promise from Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as he could solve the problem of Japanese pirates, the lives of their whole family would not be worried!

At this moment, Li Jie suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind, and then saw Tang He hurriedly walked out. When he saw him, he shook his head and exclaimed: "You kid is really bold. This is the first time I have seen someone dare to negotiate terms with him since His Majesty ascended the throne!"

"If there are other choices, I don't want to take risks." Li Jie also smiled bitterly. He was still a little scared. Then he bowed to Tang He solemnly, "Thank you just now for Grandpa Tang for his righteous words!"

"You guy has a conscience. Remember that you owe me a favor, and you will pay it back twice as much in the future!" Tang He was not polite and directly accepted Li Jie's greeting.

"That's natural. As long as Grandpa Tang speaks in the future, I will never refuse anything I can do!" Li Jie immediately saluted again. Not everyone can owe Tang He's favor. With this favor, at least he and Tang He can stand on the same front for the time being.

"Your Majesty originally wanted to discuss with us the countermeasures to deal with Japanese pirates, but after you made such a fuss, you are in no mood now. Let us do it ourselves. You have issued a military order. What are the good ways to do this?" Tang He asked again.

"No!" Li Jie shook his head very decisively.

"You have no choice but to issue a military order in front of His Majesty?" Tang He was angry when he heard this. He thought that since Li Jie dared to boast about Haikou, he would definitely have some ideas, but he didn't expect that he had no choice at all.

"Grandpa Tang, you are a veteran in leading troops. You must know yourself and your enemy better than me. The principle of winning every battle is that we don't know much about the situation in the coastal area, so how can we make corresponding solutions?" Li Jie spread his hands and replied.

When Tang He heard this, he thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then you go back and prepare. The imperial edict will be delivered tomorrow, and we will set off the day after tomorrow!"

Li Jie had no objection when he heard this. He wanted to solve the Japanese pirates earlier, so it was just his wish to leave earlier. Of course, before leaving, he had to arrange his family affairs and say goodbye to many people. Although the remaining time was not much, it was enough.

Now Li Jie went to find Zhu Yunyu again and told him that he was going to inspect the Japanese pirates. This made Zhu Yunyu both reluctant and envious, because he could only travel around the capital and could not leave the city at all, let alone go to the coastal area.

Finally, Li Jie asked Zhu Yunxi to tell Zhu Yuning about his departure from Beijing. When he was about to leave the palace, Zhu Biao hurried over and said anxiously when he saw him: "Have you made your father angry?"

"How dare I make Your Majesty angry?" Li Jie also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then he told the previous story.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao complained: "You, you are so impulsive. You can't rest assured that you can tell me privately that you can't confront your father in person!"

"What Your Highness said is that I didn't care about anything else when I was impulsive." Li Jie hurriedly admitted his mistake. After all, the other party was his father-in-law, but to be honest, Li Jie still couldn't believe Zhu Biao. After all, when Old Zhu really wanted to kill someone, Zhu Biao might not be able to stop him.

Zhu Biao is also scared now. He is extremely satisfied with Li Jie's son-in-law and even wants to raise him to assist his son, so he doesn't want anything to happen to Li Jie.

Finally, Zhu Biao scolded Li Jie a few more words, asked him about the Japanese pirates, and then let him go.

Li Jie returned home in a carriage. It was getting late at this time, and smoke came from the kitchen at home. A familiar smell of food came. Li Jie recalled today's experience of dying and dying, and then looked at the quiet atmosphere at home, which made him feel that everything was worth it.

Now Li Jie has tidied up his clothes and then stepped into his home. He didn't plan to tell anyone what happened in the palace today. After all, the family can't help with these things, and if he knows, he will only worry more people, so he should just carry them alone.

However, what Li Jie didn't expect was that when he came to the living room, he found that his father Li Zhu was talking with the guest. When he saw this guest, Li Jie also smiled bitterly, and then stepped forward and saluted: "My nephew, meet the fifth uncle!"
