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

Chapter 457: When in doubt, ask Fu Yuan

Tears flowed down the faces of the three people like a flood.

At this moment, they realized that separation from life and death could be so heart-wrenching!
"Don't cry, don't cry."

"I will give you one more word."

"If you are unsure, you can ask Fu Yuan."

The three of them looked at Fu Yuan in unison. Fu Yuan's eyes also turned red at this time. Seeing the gazes of the three people, he tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall. He took a deep breath and said to Chen Ce dissatisfiedly: "Chen Chunjian, I don't have time to take care of your three students!"

"You should train your own students yourself. Why are you asking me?!"

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Brother Fu, I never begged you. There are not many people I admire in this world, and you are one of them."

Fu Yuan let out an "oh" and felt complacent in his heart. He was very proud to be recognized by Chen Ce.

"As for the other two, three, and one hundred, I won't talk about them." Chen Ce said again, which immediately made Fu Yuan clench his fists and said angrily, "Chen Chunjian, you are going too far!"

The sad atmosphere was slightly eased by Chen Ce's words.

Soon Chen Ce said seriously: "After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again."

"Brother Fu, the world is peaceful now, but Liaodong has always been the place I am most worried about."

"My body is no longer able to complete the final layout of Liaodong, so I need you."

Fu Yuan asked suspiciously, "Why Liaodong?"

Previously, Fu Yuan believed that the greatest threat to the imperial court was in the north. He could understand the Oirat and Tatar, but he just couldn't understand why it was the Jurchens of Liaodong.

But since Chen Ce said this, he must have his reasons. Fu Yuan didn't think that Chen Ce would speak out of nowhere at this time.

Chen Ce said: "Because the Liaodong Jurchens are too close to Beiping."

"Once Shanhaiguan is breached, they will be able to march to Peking at the fastest speed."

The Ming Dynasty had encountered such a crisis before, which was the Battle of Tumu. At that time, the Oirat people entered the pass from Xuanda and had to travel a long way before they could reach Peking.

In other words, as long as the emperor did not commit suicide and lead his troops to fight in person, it would have been almost impossible for the Oirat people to enter the pass.

Even if we enter the pass, there are still many guards along the way, enough to close the door and beat the dog.

But Liaodong is different. Shanhaiguan is too close to Peking. As long as a hole is opened in Shanhaiguan, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!

Fu Yuan asked in confusion: "Why was Shanhaiguan breached? Impossible, right?"

Chen Ce said: "I can't guarantee who will guard Shanhaiguan in the future."

Fu Yuan pondered for a moment and soon understood Chen Ce's intention. He squinted his eyes and took a breath.

This bastard, he has already started planning what will happen decades in the future!

He wanted to eliminate all hidden dangers. He knew that even if he died, with his students and the talents he had trained, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would be safe.

But what about the future? What happens after Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao? What happens after that?

This guy is such a worrier! Fu Yuan was also convinced. He thought that he was already amazing now that he had laid out his plan for the world, but he was still not satisfied and still had to consider the future of the Ming Dynasty?

"What are you going to do?"

Fu Yuan asked Chen Ce.

Chen Ce said: "You go to Liaodong and find a way to get the Jurchens to migrate out of Liaodong. If this route doesn't work, then assimilate them and disperse their population throughout the country."

Fu Yuan stared at Chen Ce and said speechlessly: "You are amazing!"

"Whether one of these two strategies is realized, the Liaodong Jurchens will never be able to gather together again."

At that time, they would not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Fu Yuan sighed, "I understand. I will go to Liaodong tomorrow... But what can I do alone? Aren't you overestimating me?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "You won't be alone. I will send spies from the inner factory to assist you. You can use them for anything." Fu Yuan: "?"

"Can't you find a way to get me an official position?"

"It's not convenient for you to do anything... that's fine. The inner factory is still short of a deputy commander. When you go to Liaodong, I will give you the token."

Fu Yuan was also convinced. I said to be an official, I meant to be a civil servant. You want me to be an official in the inner factory? Isn't this being trampled under the feet of those idiots in the civil service?
Chen Ce said: "Fighting with others is fun. Doesn't this show off your abilities?"

"What? You have no confidence? Do you think the factory guards can't defeat the civil officials?"

Fu Yuan sneered, "You have successfully aroused my interest... By the way, who is the commander of the inner factory?"

Chen Ce: "Me."

Fu Yuan: “…”

Bitch!

"Brother Wang." Chen Ce naturally would not leave Wang Wubi behind, and said, "The Southwest needs someone to take charge. In the future, you will take charge of the entire Southwest for the court."

Wang Wubi nodded: "Okay!"

Chen Ce stopped disturbing them and came to Qin Hong's table with his hands behind his back and sat down.

"Chun Jian, you don't have to accompany us, we'll just drink a little more and then leave."

Qin Hong spoke.

These old guys were all trusted ministers of the imperial court and the right-hand men of Emperor Hongzhi, but now they are all very old and it won't be long before they retire.

During this period, this group of ministers helped him a lot. They secretly assisted Chen Ce in many matters at the court. Although they did not say it, Emperor Hongzhi told Chen Ce privately.

Chen Ce was very grateful to them.

"I'll have a drink with you!"

Chen Ce doesn't drink, but at this moment, whether out of respect or gratitude, he had to drink this glass of wine anyway.

Qin Hong and his friends couldn't persuade Chen Ce, so they could only drink with Chen Ce in tears.

"Chun Jian! Live well!"

Qin Hong and Xu Guan spoke. Even though they had experienced countless things in their lives and were used to seeing the separation of life and death, they still couldn't help crying at this moment. Then they slowly cried in unison, sighed deeply, and left with their hands behind their backs.

Chen Ce watched them leave, and finally walked step by step to Zhu Houzhao's desk.

Liu Jin, Li Zhen and Wei Wenli hurriedly stood up and stepped aside.

"Little brother, I'm so happy, you finally got married, haha!"

Zhu Houzhao started to cry while laughing.

He is only less than fourteen years old this year. Children in ancient times matured precociously, not to mention that he is the crown prince.

Isn't it normal for teenagers to be playful and naughty? But Chen Ce deprived Zhu Houzhao of all this. He had lost his initial mischievousness and became much more stable.

This was actually not what Chen Ce wanted to see, but he had no choice. After all, he was the future master of the Ming Dynasty, and all of this was what he had to bear.

Chen Ce smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Houzhao pointed at himself and asked in confusion: "Me? Why are you thanking me?"

"Oh, haha, I helped you organize your wedding beautifully today, so you should thank me, right, little brother?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No, if it weren't for the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would have died five years ago."

"Why are you saying this? Today is your big day." Zhu Houzhao was unhappy and said, "Don't say these unlucky words, such as life and death."
