Zhu Yuanzhang continued to sneer: "Are you saying this to get me to thank you?"
Zhang Wuji quickly waved his hand: "That's not what I meant."
"To be honest, I feel a little guilty that you lost to me."
"Because under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this."
"But this is how things are."
"Just because of the little wrong I have done to you, I won't kill you."
"As for what I said about your contribution, it is also what I really think. After all, it was you who unified the Jiangnan area. If it weren't for you, Jiangnan would probably still be in that state of division."
"If I have to wait for them to defeat those heroes, it may take years."
"And some time ago, your generals killed 200,000 Japanese soldiers. Just for this reason, you are an even more meritorious person."
"Just stay in Beijing, find some pretty girls, and there's nothing wrong with being shameless all day long."
"I am younger than you and more ambitious than you. In the next four or five years, I will first restore the people's livelihood and economy, and sweep away the many hazes left over from the Yuan Dynasty."
"I will speed up the process to control the remaining forces of the various tribes in the northern grasslands. Of course, Min'er is indispensable to this end."
"I will restore the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties. If I do this series of things quickly, it will take five or six years to see initial results. If I take a long time, it will be hard to say."
"Also, I will take advantage of this opportunity while my enthusiasm is still high to launch an expedition to Japan."
"I will wipe out that country from this world. I will dig up their roots and destroy their offspring."
"It will probably take more than ten years to complete this task, and that's still the fast way. If it's slower, it may take twenty years, or even longer."
"If I become the emperor, I should be able to finish all these things before I die. But if you become the emperor, you will definitely not be able to finish these things before you die."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Even if I become the emperor and cannot finish all these things, can't I let my descendants do it?"
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji sneered: "If future generations are really capable, they can go on to do greater things, but what if they are incapable? Do you really believe that the descendants of your Zhu family will not be a bunch of trash?"
"How majestic Genghis Khan was when he established the Yuan Dynasty. But look at the Yuan Dynasty in its early years. It was so rotten that it couldn't be rottener. If it weren't for Min'er holding it up, the country would have been destroyed long ago."
…
In a short period of time, Zhang Wuji mentioned Zhao Min's name twice.
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang hated Zhao Min very much, but in the current situation, it did not seem wise to insult the emperor's woman in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked tough on the surface, but he was actually already discouraged in his heart. Even if he looked down on Zhao Min, he could only look down on her in his heart and it was better not to say it out loud.
…
On this day, Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang chatted for more than an hour. Zhang Wuji told Zhu Yuanzhang very clearly what he wanted. At the same time, he also told Zhu Yuanzhang to adjust his attitude. At least Yingtian Prefecture and many cities in the south of the Yangtze River had not been taken down.
Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to do his part in these finishing tasks.
…
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang was sent away.
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually quite emotional about today's conversation. He could feel that most of Zhang Wuji's words were true, including that he didn't want to kill him.
Such sincerity gave Zhu Yuanzhang a reassurance.
Since ancient times, emperors who surrendered after being defeated in battle have rarely been able to have a good ending, and Zhu Yuanzhang may be one of the few such people.
…
"Sir, the bath water is ready. We have been busy for so many days. Why don't you take a good bath and have a good sleep?"
As soon as Yu Fei finished saying this, he felt a slight pain in his ears.
"Senior sister, senior sister, what are you doing?"
Zhao Linger grabbed Yu Fei's ear and said, "You vixen, you actually learned to seduce men behind your senior sister's back?"
"Today is an important day. I am the Queen of the Ming Dynasty. It is my responsibility to help the young master take a bath."
Not far away, there was already a hint of resentment in Zhou Zhiruo's eyes. On such a great day, she had originally wanted to be with Zhang Wuji. After all, after so many years, there was finally a result. She had been with him through all the ups and downs and worked hard for so many years, so tonight it should be him and her together.
However, at this moment, Zhao Min came behind her and said, "Fox spirit, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about a man?"
In fact, Zhou Zhiruo was already accustomed to the name of vixen, so she was not angry at the vixen that Zhao Min mentioned. As for the so-called missing a man, to be honest, she really did miss him.
However, even if she thought about it, what could she do? They were not outsiders, and there was no third person around, so Zhou Zhiruo was not embarrassed to have her thoughts guessed.
"Hmph, I just thought about it, what can you do to me?"
Zhou Zhiruo ignored Zhao Min and turned to walk towards the room she had just cleaned up.
However, how could Zhao Min let her get her wish?
Zhao Min grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's wrist with great force.
Zhou Zhiruo felt pain for a moment, but the miraculous thing was that she did not resist: "Zhao Min, are you crazy? On such a beautiful day, have I ever offended you? Why are you picking on me?"
Zhao Min increased the strength of her hands and said, "Fox spirit, I just want to make things difficult for you. What can you do to me?"
Zhou Zhiruo was speechless: "Zhao Min, everyone is happy today, what are you doing? Even if you want to find fault with me, you can't do it today."
"Besides, are you done yet? You can't just bully me alone. Can't you find someone else?"
Zhou Zhiruo was still a little confused. She just thought that Zhao Min was having a fit and wanted to make trouble with her again.
However, this time, it was not what she imagined. After all, Zhao Min learned a huge thing today, that Zhou Zhiruo was the one who made Zhang Wuji rebel against the Yuan Dynasty.
It would be fine if you didn't know about such a big thing, but now that you know about it, how can you pretend that nothing happened?
"Hmph, you vixen, if you don't want to embarrass yourself, then follow me."
Then, Zhao Min pulled her into her room.
The moment the door was closed, Zhao Min said viciously again: "Fox spirit, I'm giving you a chance. Tell me what you did wrong."
