Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 402 Zhu Mou once again ordered the sky
Anyway, this rainstorm that has lasted for half a month will stop the day after tomorrow. We might as well take advantage of this rain disaster to let Zhu Houzhao rule the world again.

Chen Ce encouraged Zhu Houzhao, saying, "Give it a try. So many people are looking forward to the rain stopping. If you succeed, it will be a good thing for the people."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

"What if the rain doesn't stop?"

My dear brother, please don't fool me. I am no longer the same person I used to be and I can't do such a shameful thing.

Chen Ce said: "It didn't stop, so it didn't stop. You won't lose a piece of meat. Besides, throughout history, so many emperors have held altars to pray for good weather and good harvests. When has the country ever really had good weather and good harvests?"

It seems to make sense.

Chen Ce continued, "But if you succeed, then you will be as great as a god in the hearts of the common people!"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but get excited.

"Alright! Then I will come out of the mountains once more and give orders to the heavens this time!"

Chen Ce clapped his hands and said to Liu Jin, "Set up an altar and pray for the prince!"

Liu Jin: "..."

No, brother, are you two crazy? Are you so casual?

Liu Jin was not surprised that the prince did these things, but in my impression, you, Chen Binggui, are not such a frivolous person!

Of course Liu Jin did not dare to refuse Chen Ce. His cheeks twitched and he hurriedly ordered people to build a high platform for Zhu Houzhao.

He still looked a little worried and said to Zhu Houzhao and Chen Ce: "Your Highness, Lord Chen, will this... work?"

Zhu Houzhao was eager to try, and pushed Liu Jin away and said, "What's not feasible? Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Ce watched Zhu Houzhao go up to the platform and said casually, "Just go down and pretend to do something."

"it is good!"

Zhu Houzhao climbed onto the high platform, pointed to the sky with one hand, and shouted: "God, listen to me..."

Chen Ce: “…”

I asked you to behave, brother. I didn't ask you to shout so loudly. You just said you didn't want to do shameful things anymore. So what is this?
Chen Ce quickly said to Liu Jin, "Go and translate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and tell the people that the Crown Prince is praying for the people, praying for the heavy rain to stop in the past two days."

Liu Jin's mouth twitched. Are you serious?
He said nervously: "Master Chen, how about we postpone the time, for example, half a month?"

Why don't you say one year? The rainstorm will surely stop in one year, but what does that have to do with Zhu Houzhao?
"Do it!"

Liu Jin said "oh" and went to translate for the people. When the people heard that the prince was praying for them, they were deeply moved.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao had finally finished his hard performance. Looking at the people kneeling and kowtowing in gratitude in the suburbs, Zhu Houzhao seemed very excited. He waved his hand and said, "Please stand up quickly, my people!"

"I once again command the heavens to bring all disasters upon me, and not to harm my people or my father."

Talent!
This guy is a typical histrionic personality. He was so shy just now that Chen Ce really thought he would be humiliated. It seems that Chen Ce underestimated Zhu Houzhao's thickness.

This is a very beautiful statement, which not only reflects his love for his people, but also highlights his filial piety. There is nothing wrong with it!
After he came down from the platform, Chen Ce smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness said it very well."

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said shyly, "I was embarrassed just now, little brother, how are you? Am I impressive?"

Chen Ce nodded: "Very impressive!"

Liu Jin's face twitched as he watched from the side.

"Okay, let's go back." Chen Ce waved his hand. It was getting late and he had to go back and rest.

……

"Chen Chunjian, you are a villain!"

In the Eastern Palace, when it was almost time to get off duty, Yang Tinghe was in the Zuochunfang duty room with a disgusted expression, as if he had eaten a fly.

Jin Gui asked Yang Tinghe curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yang Tinghe snorted and briefly told Jin Gui what happened today.

At noon today, he went to see Zhu Houzhao and begged Zhu Houzhao to exempt taxes for the people around the fiefdom, and to allocate disaster relief funds and food, in order to increase the prestige of the Eastern Palace among the people.

He, Chen Ce, stopped Zhu Houzhao with great righteousness, and then asked Liu Jin to drive him away.

Not long after that, he took the prince to his fiefdom to pray for the people and exempt taxes. Isn't this stealing the credit from Yang Tinghe?

Yang Tinghe could only think so. If so, then what else could Chen Ce be but a despicable villain?
The emperor and several ministers were simply blind. They were deceived by Chen Ce's gentle appearance. In fact, this man was very scheming!
Jin Gui also stood up for Yang Tinghe and said, "This Chen Ce is really a villain. It was you, Jiefu, who proposed this achievement, but Chen Ce took it away."

"I don't know how this man bewitched the Crown Prince and made him trust him. The Emperor loves Chen Ce so much that he favors this villain."

"If this kind of perverse trend continues, who among our officials in the East Palace will be able to teach the Crown Prince conscientiously?"

What is worrying is not the lack of things but the inequality of things!
This is obviously unfair to them.

Of course, Jin Gui's words were intended to stir up conflict between Yang Tinghe and Chen Ce.

Yang Tinghe said angrily: "I will go and tell the emperor the true face of this boy."

Jin Gui stopped Yang Tinghe and said, "Sir Yang, please go to the emperor alone. The emperor is biased towards Chen Ce. Even if he hears these unfair things, I'm afraid he will let it go."

Yang Tinghe seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded slightly and asked Jin Gui: "What should we do?"

Jin Gui pondered for a moment and said to Yang Tinghe, "Tomorrow at the court meeting, Lord Yang, you can state the evidence of Chen Ce's crime in front of everyone."

"But we cannot use the story of Chen Ce stealing the credit. We need to look at this from a different angle."

"If we use the matter of stealing merit to sue Chen Ce, at most it will only let the officials and the emperor know this boy's scheming, but they don't care how deep a person's scheming is."

Yang Tinghe nodded in agreement. He was indeed impulsive just now, and what Jin Gui said made sense.

Jin Gui said, "I heard that Chen Ce asked the prince to take the risk and go up to the high platform, and he also made a promise to the people that the heavy rain would stop in two days."

"Lord Yang, this matter is very complicated. If Chen Ce deliberately deceived the Crown Prince and did not behave like a role model, would you consider dismissing him from his position as the Right Instructor of the Eastern Palace?"

Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows: "It will definitely be so!"

As long as it involves the issue of teacher ethics, it is definitely the bottom line for the civil servants. Moreover, the prince is the foundation of the country. If Chen Ce, the teacher of the Eastern Palace, continues to lead the prince in this way, if the future foundation of the country grows crooked, once the prince ascends the throne, will these civil servants not be afraid? Will they not consider their own future?

One word, absolutely!

It is true that bystanders see things more clearly. Yang Tinghe said, "What you said is true and makes a lot of sense."

Jin Gui smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be polite, Jiefu. We all want to do good for the East Palace and the Crown Prince. I can see clearly who is loyal and who is treacherous."

"Yeah." Yang Tinghe nodded.
