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

Chapter 415: Still Underestimating Chen Ce

In the southeast, Fu Yuan received a letter from Chen Ce.

In the letter, Chen Ce asked him to go to Ningbo, but he didn't explain the reason. It was very vague.

However, given Fu Yuan's personality, even if Ningbo is full of dangerous places, he would definitely go and take a look. He really wanted to know what Chen Ce wanted him to do in Ningbo.

As a result, Fu Yuan was captured by Xu Jing as soon as he arrived in Ningbo.

"Chen Chunjian, you bastard!" Fu Yuan cursed, "Despicable! Shameless!"

Xu Jing said to Fu Yuan with a dark face: "Fu Yuan, if you scold my teacher again, I will be rude to you!"

Fu Yuan sneered: "I'm just scolding you, what do you think?!"

"I helped Chen Ce so much, but he actually set me up and wanted to arrest me? If Chen Chunjian were a human being, he wouldn't be so ruthless!"

Xu Jing sneered, "Do you really think my teacher asked you to come to Southeast for help?"

"Do you really think I didn't do anything in the Southeast?"

Fu Yuan was slightly stunned.

Xu Jing continued, "The teacher originally planned for you to come to Southeast just to let you create smuggling chaos. Now that this is done, your role in Southeast will be gone."

"The teacher has thought of a way out for you. When the smuggling chaos in the southeast becomes more and more serious and the court pays attention to the southeast, he plans to let you withdraw."

"He even arranged a construction business for you in Nanzhi to get you out of the textile business."

"The business of Daming is developing, and people from the suburbs are constantly pouring into the city. The demand for housing will definitely increase. The teacher believes that the construction industry will explode in Nanzhi in the future."

"He has thought of all the ways out for you and never thought of letting you die in the southeast. Who knew that you would be so smart and get yourself into trouble?"

"Even if you didn't attack the Southeast Fleet, I still have a way to stir up conflict between the Southeast Fleet and the Japanese."

"Do you really think you understand all of the teacher's tricks? You're just being too smart!"

Listening to Xu Jing's scolding, Fu Yuan's mentality gradually collapsed. He couldn't help but gasp and stare at Xu Jing, saying: "Chen, how long has Chen Ce been keeping you in the southeast?"

Xu Jing said: "I came here in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and I have been here for almost three years now."

Fu Yuan was stunned. This consumptive guy had started planning two or three years ago, and had been planning for two or three years... He could really endure it!
Xu Jing said: "Teacher asked me to ask you, do you want to deal with Zhejiang Dusi first, and then use this as a breakthrough point to drag down all three Zhejiang divisions?"

Fu Yuan: “…”

He no longer had the excitement and indignation he had just shown, especially after hearing Xu Jing's words, he realized that Chen Ce knew his intentions again!

Xu Jing continued, "The teacher asked me to capture you and detain you. He said that your mission has been completed and he would not allow you to die before him."

"You will stay here with me from now on. The three Zhejiang officials cannot come here. I have ways to deal with them. You don't need to be smart."

Looking at Xu Jing's departing back, Fu Yuan's face twitched violently and his expression became more and more dejected.

Of course, Xu Jing lied to him, but Chen Ce was actually grateful to Fu Yuan. Fu Yuan helped him a lot, and Chen Ce deliberately let Xu Jing say these words.

He knew that Fu Yuan was proud. If he was not defeated, he would not stay with Xu Jing obediently and might even cause some big trouble.

Only by breaking his mentality can he stay safely with Xu Jing and ensure his safety.

Chen Ce's goal was indeed achieved. Fu Yuan was like an eggplant hit by frost. He always underestimated Chen Ce, and underestimated him far!

"You son of a bitch, when I bury you, I'm going to pee on your grave!"

"Chen Ce, you bastard, die now!"

"Ah - you're going to die. How boring it will be for me to live in this world..."

"Chen Chunjian, you better not die."

...In early October of the fourteenth year of the Hongzhi reign, great news of victory came from the northern battlefield. The Ming Dynasty defeated the Oirat army, captured more than 3,600 Oirat soldiers, and killed or wounded more than 5,000.

This exhilarating battle lasted only a few days. When the news reached Peking, the whole country celebrated.

At the same time, on the northern grasslands, the restless Tatar prince had long been aware of the Ming Dynasty's strategic intentions in the East China Sea. He was preparing to attack the Ming Dynasty from the north when the Ming Dynasty opened up the East China Sea battlefield.

But when the news of the defeat of the Oirat reached the ears of the little Tatar prince, he was shocked.

Throughout the Hongzhi reign, the Ming Dynasty seldom took the initiative to provoke wars in the north. In fact, after the Battle of Tumu, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the terrain of the Nine Borders and retreated within the Great Wall, adopting a defense-oriented military policy.

This time, the Ming Dynasty not only took the initiative to send troops, but also achieved such a great victory. This forced the little Tatar prince to re-evaluate the Ming Dynasty's combat capability.

Especially when he heard the Oirat people say that the Ming Dynasty had developed a chariot that was invincible on the plains battlefield, the Tatar prince became even more fearful. Before he could figure out a way to crack it, he would definitely not dare to act rashly. His originally restless heart gradually calmed down.

……

In early October, the weather has gradually started to get colder.

An invitation was delivered to Chen Ce's courtyard. Chen Ce, who was having lunch with Mrs. Wu Xiaohua, was slightly stunned after seeing the invitation.

Lun Wenxu is getting married, and his partner is Ning Cheng's daughter Ning Zhijun.

Madam Wu looked at Chen Ce's expression and asked softly, "You...can't bear to part with her?"

"what?"

Chen Ce was stunned for a moment, "What?"

After a moment, he reacted and said, "You mean Ning Cheng's daughter? Ning Zhijun?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, I'm just curious, why did Lun Wenxu send me an invitation for his wedding? I don't seem to know him well."

"Really?" Madam Wu looked at Chen Ce and asked.

Chen Ce: “…”

"Is there anything else?"

He really wasn't familiar with Lord Ning's daughter. Yes, although they had an engagement before, he had broken off the engagement a long time ago. At that time, Chen Ce had never even met Ning Zhijun.

Even if they met later, Chen Ce deliberately kept a certain distance from her and never had any other thoughts.

"Let's eat."

"Oh."

Mrs. Wu thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you going?"

Chen Ce nodded and said, "The invitations have been delivered. If you have nothing to do by then, just go and give a gift."

"You guys come with me."

Xiao Hua clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Great! We can have the feast now!"

……

At the Liang Mansion, invitations were distributed by Liang Chu. As for the invitation to Chen Ce, it was naturally sent by Liang Chu, just to prevent Chen Ce from having any improper thoughts.

As Lun Wenxu's teacher in the Hanlin Academy, Liang Chu almost personally arranged this marriage, and he attached great importance to it.

"I have sent a team of men and horses to bring all your family members from Guangdong to the capital."

When Lun Wenxu heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Teacher... I am ashamed! Thank you for your hard work!"
