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

Chapter 488 National Bank
After Liu Jian came out of the warm room, he never set foot in the cabinet again.

Emperor Hongzhi temporarily appointed Li Dongyang as the chief minister of the cabinet and Xie Qian as the second chief minister. He announced to the public that Liu Jian was ill and had to go home to rest.

There were many subsequent reforms. Even if Liu Jian did not take the initiative to propose to retire, Emperor Hongzhi would still find a way to let him go home to recuperate if he was "sick".

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian learned a lesson from Liu Jian: don't push Emperor Hongzhi too hard in everything, otherwise it would backfire.

While they were seeking certain civil service powers, they should also make necessary concessions to imperial power.

Liu Jian's high self-esteem led to such an outcome.

……

The news of the successful trial of Hongzhong's navigation reached Chen Ce's ears, which was not a surprise to him.

It is unlikely that we will be able to officially sail to the West this year, and we will probably have to wait until next year.

Chen Ce was thinking about the Ming Dynasty's money houses and currency reform at home. Then he lifted his robe and walked towards the Forbidden City with his hands behind his back, and chatted with Emperor Hongzhi in the warm room for the whole morning.

Regarding currency reform, it is necessary to warm up the public. Chen Ce and Emperor Hongzhi have already discussed and decided to use Shuntian Press to disclose the news first and wait for feedback from the public.

Before leaving, Chen Ce whispered to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, your condition is not very good. You should pay more attention to your health."

Emperor Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat, but he still smiled and said, "It's okay, just take care of yourself first."

Chen Ce nodded. Anyway, everyone was going to die soon, so the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, would be good companions when they went downstairs.

Chen Ce left the Qianqing Palace and walked on Chengqingfang Street. Suddenly, he saw Shuntian Sauna not far away. He was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at the bustling crowd in front of the door. Most of them were men coming in and out. He couldn't help but sigh at how fast the Zhang brothers were.

I think this business is run by two brothers. What's more, the business is extremely booming.

Chen Ce shook his head and continued walking forward.

Just when he reached the intersection of Chengqingfang Street and Zhengyang Street, two men with unfriendly faces blocked Chen Ce's way.

The two men held daggers, pointed at Chen Ce, and said angrily: "Chen Chunjian! I will kill you!"

Chen Ce looked at the two young men in confusion. He really didn't expect that there would be someone in the capital who would dare to attack him.

"Do I have any grudge against you two?" Chen Ce asked calmly.

One of the men said: "My father was persecuted by you and stepped down. You are a traitor and you deserve to die!"

"My father is still in prison, all thanks to you, Chen Ce. Today, we will exchange our lives for yours!"

"After you die, we will go to the Ministry of Justice to be executed!"

Chen Ce asked tentatively: "Lord Liu? Imperial Censor Liu?"

"Humph!"

"It's good to know that you have done something wrong. Now you can die with your eyes closed."

After the two men finished speaking, they suddenly stretched out their daggers and stabbed at Chen Ce.

Chen Ce did not dodge. Just when the two men were about to reach Chen Ce, several militiamen kicked them away, snatched their daggers in a few seconds, and started punching and kicking them without asking any questions.

Chen Ce is the commander-in-chief of the Inner Factory. He was seen walking alone on the street, surrounded by men from the Eastern Factory.

Chen Ce glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said to the internal factory guard, "Send them to the Ministry of Justice."

"Here!"

"Chen Ce! Just wait. If we fail to assassinate you today, we will make sure you die without a burial place tomorrow!"

"Even if someone can protect you, you will always be careless. We will kill your wife and your family. All of them!"

Chen Ce was about to leave, but he turned back and stared at the two boys who were talking nonsense. He said calmly, "Even if there is any conflict between your father and I, it is between them and me. I have never thought of harming their family."

"The principle of not letting your wife and children suffer is a tacit rule whether in the government or in the underworld." "Not to mention that your father was demoted and imprisoned, which has nothing to do with me."

These two people seem to be much older than me. They have been pampered and their brains have been damaged.

Chen Ce continued indifferently: "It's easy for you to say this, but it feels different when I hear it, because I will worry that you will really do this."

"You are usually arrogant and domineering at home. Do you think you can do whatever you want with your father's protection?"

"Break their hands."

Chen Ce gave indifferent instructions to the factory guards.

Hysterical screams came one after another: "Chen Ce! Just wait, you will not die a good death, we will make sure your whole family will be buried with you!"

"Ok."

Chen Ce continued: "Knock out all their teeth, not a single one should be missing."

Bang bang bang!
The factory guards continued to torture the two young and frivolous young men. At this moment, they realized that after losing their protection and encountering more ruthless people, their arrogance was no longer of any use.

Normally, they might be able to get away with it in the capital just by mentioning their father, but today was different.

Chen Ce stared at the two young men who were like dead dogs and continued to ask, "Anything else you haven't said yet? Keep talking."

At this point, the two of them really didn't dare to talk anymore, mainly because their mouths were leaking and they couldn't say anything.

Of course, the main reason is fear, deep fear of Chen Ce!

They really didn't expect that Chen Chunjian in front of them would be so cruel and show no mercy to their family at all.

The two men were beaten to death and huddled in the corner trembling.

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Are you not going to talk about it anymore?"

"You can't not say it."

Chen Ce said to the guards in the inner factory: "Break their legs again."

hiss!
The two of them were able to stare at Chen Ce with hatred and resentment just now, but now they really don't even have the courage to look Chen Ce in the face.

Chen Ce smiled and said, "Do you really think that just because your father is Liu Jian and your father is Liu Daxia, you can be so arrogant and domineering?"

"Don't even mention that they have stepped down. Even if they are now the Prime Minister or the Censor, I can still torture you like this."

"Okay, don't kill other people's families all the time. You don't have the ability to do that."

Chen Ce stood up and looked at the two of them with a sneer, looking down from his high vantage point as if he were looking at two ants.

Originally, Chen Ce didn't want to argue with the two of them. If what they said hadn't been unpleasant to Chen Ce, Chen Ce wouldn't even bother to pay attention to them.

"Send it to the Ministry of Justice." Chen Ce ordered the guards in the inner factory.

"Yes, my lord."

This was just a small episode for Chen Ce along the way, and Chen Ce didn't care about any consequences at all.

……

Liu Jian's mansion.

A steward hurriedly found Liu Jian and said, "Master, something happened! Something happened! The young master just went out with a dagger and said he wanted to kill Chen Ce!"

When Liu Jian heard this, he gasped and said in horror: "This bastard! Quick, go find someone! Don't let him hurt Chen Ce, hurry up!"
