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

Chapter 453 I Don’t Want to Lose You as My Enemy

Chapter 453 I Don’t Want to Lose You as My Enemy
Fu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, looking proud. He remained the same, still the same as before, looking like he deserved a beating.

There were so many people around just now that he couldn't say much. Now that there were no outsiders in the central hall, Fu Yuan could express his indignation to his heart's content.

He angrily cursed Chen Ce, "Chen Chunjian, you bastard, you deserve to die!"

"When you gave me the textile machine, I thought you were kind and that we had a mutual understanding, but it turned out that you were plotting against me!"

"After you brought me to the southeast, you also transferred the technology of textile machines to the merchants in the southeast on a large scale, making me compete with so many merchants, forcing me to go out to sea for smuggling."

"Then you deliberately spread the news of opening the sea in the court, and asked me to lure those Japanese pirates in the southeast to constantly harass the people in the southeast."

"You are so cruel, Chen Chunjian! The lives of so many people in the southeast are worthless in your eyes. Are all of you politicians so cruel and ruthless?"

"I asked you what your purpose was, but you kept pretending to be innocent and said you had no purpose. Later I figured it out. I'm not like you who keeps everything to yourself!"

"Don't you just want to destroy Japan? I did so many things for you, but you put me under house arrest in the end."

"Chen Chunjian, you are such a nobody! Why haven't you died yet? Go die soon!"

As he was cursing, Fu Yuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he sobbed, "You are going to die, how boring it will be for me to be alone. You and I are the only smart people in this world."

"After losing you, who will I find to compete with? It will be so boring!"

Chen Ce looked at Fu Yuan speechlessly and said, "You are a grown man, why are you crying? Aren't you ashamed?"

"I'm sorry." Chen Ce said seriously, "I schemed against you."

"I put you under house arrest because I don't want anything to happen to you. Please forgive me."

Fu Yuan wiped his tears and sighed, "You have achieved your goal. You have also destroyed the Japanese island..."

He said to Chen Ce sincerely, "Chen Chunjian, you are amazing. I have never been so convinced by someone before. You are the first."

"I'm not as good as you."

"Your strength does not only stop at mundane matters. You always have a bird's-eye view of the world, just like God. No one is worthy of your attention."

"There are so many gifted people, so many people who claim to be smart and talented, but they can only look up to you."

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "Not really, you can catch my eye."

"Thank you so much." Fu Yuan sneered.

After he vented his anger, his expression gradually became serious, and he asked Chen Ce, "How is your health?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "Not very good. The Imperial Hospital said that I might not be able to get out of bed by the end of next year."

"Now it's getting worse and worse. I have to take medicine every day to maintain it... It's terrible."

Fu Yuan was silent for a while, then said, "Worry less, work less. If you didn't do so many things for the Ming court, you could live two more years. Why bother?"

Chen Ce looked at Fu Yuan and asked, "What's the difference between living two more years and living two less years?"

"While I can still do something, I want to make this country a better place... You know what? I was just a poor boy from Huaihua Hutong."

"Before I entered Peking, another young man saved me at a mountain temple outside Peking. That night, it was snowing heavily and very cold."

"If it weren't for that young man's help, I might have died that winter five years ago."

Fu Yuan asked doubtfully, "Is it the prince?"

Chen Ce nodded: "Yes, it's the prince."

"Later, by chance, I met him again, and from that time on, I wanted to return the favor to him."

Fu Yuan said, "You've paid too much! Paying with your life? Is it worth it?"

Chen Ce smiled and said, "It's worth it. Why isn't it worth it? He gave me my life, didn't he?" "And he is also worthy of me giving everything to help him, to help this country, and to clear all obstacles for him to take power and ascend the throne in the future."

Fu Yuan is a smart man, and it doesn't take much effort to talk to smart people.

He quickly took a deep breath and asked Chen Ce, "King Yue of the Southwest died. So many high-ranking officials died at the end of the year. Was it you?"

Chen Ce nodded.

Fu Yuan continued, "When the salt permits were first introduced, so many powerful gentry sold the salt permits to the people at low prices. In the end, the imperial court took the salt permits from the people tax-free. Was it you?"

Chen Ce continued to nod.

Fu Yuan's breathing became more and more rapid: "Dai Gengjia and the royal family salary, is it you too?"

Without waiting for Chen Ce to admit it, Fu Yuan continued, "The Ming Dynasty has gradually developed commerce and got rid of the traditional social system dominated by agriculture for more than 2,000 years. Is it you?"

"Reform the Southwest into aboriginal tribes? Destroy the Japanese! Is it all your fault?"

Chen Ce smiled and said, "These are all factors that exist within the dynasty. They may cause trouble for the Crown Prince in the future. I just solved them for him in advance. It's nothing."

you fart!
It's nothing. You call it nothing? It's hard for ordinary people to complete something in their lifetime, but you spent five years to solve everything. You call it nothing?
Fu Yuan now truly felt what a dimensionality reduction attack was.

He couldn't help but sigh: "How much good deeds did the Crown Prince do in his previous life to be able to meet you?"

Chen Ce smiled bitterly and said, "It's my luck. When I first met him, he was still careless and lazy. He was always criticized by officials and the emperor. They said he was too playful and they were afraid that he would not be able to be a wise ruler in the future."

"Isn't it good now?"

Looking at Zhu Houzhao who was busy giving orders in the courtyard, Chen Ce showed a protective smile on his face.

He can say a thousand things about Zhu Houzhao, but others can't!
This prince is becoming more and more outstanding. He will definitely become a young and promising monarch in the future and make this country better and stronger!
"I won't live long. If I'm gone and there are any loopholes in this country, can you continue to help him?"

"Help with what?" Fu Yuan asked.

Chen Ce said word by word: "A man should be as firm as iron until his death. Let's try to mend the crack in the sky!"

Fu Yuan was stunned and got goose bumps all over his body.

Yes! Isn't Chen Ce repairing the crack in the sky?

It’s just that few people know about it!

Fu Yuan pointed at himself: "Me?"

He smiled bitterly and said, "Stop joking. I don't have your ability."

Chen Ce said: "That's enough."

Fu Yuan said solemnly, "Are you entrusting your will to me?"

Chen Ce said: "It can only be you!"

Fu Yuan said, "Like you, wearing fine clothes and walking at night? Even if it means death, you are willing to do it?"

Chen Ce: “Yeah.”
