Hu Ye returned to Nanjing. This was a month away from Nanjing. When he saw the Qinhuai River, he felt a little urge to burst into tears. He realized that he had never missed Nanjing so much.

This month was the most difficult day for him, and it was even harder than the days he had arrived in the Ming Dynasty. He was afraid that he would never see Xiaoqiang again and Yingxue again if he died.

But God seemed to be helping him. Yan Guilai couldn't do anything at the last moment, so he survived and returned to Nanjing alive.

He did not go to see Zhu Di immediately, but came to Qingtian Street.

Seeing the Qingtian Street like the past, Hu Ye felt surging inside, which was even more relaxed and pleasant than the Qinhuai River.

Nowadays, Qingtian Street has heavy troops to guard, and you have to check in and out.

So Zhang Fu told Hu Ye about Huang Yu and Qi Song. Only then did Hu Ye realize that this was not a big deal after all, and the matter between these two people must be solved.

Those soldiers did not know Hu Ye, but knew Zhang Fu, and they dared not offend those who could make Zhang Fu smile, so Hu Ye entered Qingtian Street with a swagger.

The people of Qingtian Street have not seen Hu Ye for a month. When they suddenly saw Hu Ye, they realized that they had not seen Hu Ye for a long time. They came up with a smile and greeted each other, very enthusiastic.

After sending Hu Ye back to Qingtian Street, Zhang Fu was about to leave. His mission was to bring Hu Ye back. Now he had to report to Zhu Di. Moreover, he had to mobilize 100,000 troops privately, so he had to give Zhu Di an explanation.

After expressing his gratitude to the people, Hu Ye came to the academy. Looking at the still crowded academy, Hu Ye felt relieved. This academy has condensed too much effort and can be compared with the Unknown Mansion.

The first person to discover Hu Ye was the old man who swept the floor. After looking up at Hu Ye, he looked up and looked at Hu Ye. He continued to look down at him and sweep the floor. As usual, there was no fallen leaf sweeping away.

Hu Ye's mouth twitched. We are a dean after all. Can we not ignore ourselves so much?

The second person who discovered Hu Ye was Gongshuji. After this old guy went to Wanshou Mountain last time, he was a little worried about Hu Ye. He understood Xiaoqiang's position in Hu Ye's heart. If Hu Ye was still alive, he would definitely go to save Xiaoqiang. But even he could not take Xiaoqiang back from Wang Kunshan. How could Hu Ye do it?

Now Xiaoqiang is following Hu Ye completely, which means that he can't do something, and Hu Ye has done it.

"Boy, how did you bring it back?" Gongshuji asked Hu Ye curiously. He wanted to know Hu Ye's method.

Hu Ye smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? I went up and asked for it, but they didn't give it, so I robbed it. After I robbed it, they came to rob it, so I destroyed them without leaving any one, so I scattered it.

"What! Have you destroyed them all? Are you alone?" Gongshuji almost jumped up.

"How is that possible? I am just a person without any power. I just used a hundred thousand troops and accidentally burned Dongtianmu Mountain. As a result, they ran all the way. Then I accidentally hit my gun, so I sent them to hell."

Hu Ye shrugged and said indifferently.

Gongshuji's mouth twitched. Finally, he saw a brand new Hu Ye, who destroyed hundreds of others and was so calm. This trip was captured, which really changed a lot.

In the square of the academy, there are still Tongtian Rats and a group of rats reading, but now they have learned to enjoy, and the students have set up a shed for them, which has become a major attraction in the academy.

Xiaoqiang no longer bullies Tongtian Rat because it has seen that Tongtian Rat has not had much time, and it is already a miracle to be able to survive until now.

When Tongtian Rat saw Hu Ye coming back, he took the group of rats to wave his claws at Hu Ye, saying that he would like to express his welcome.

Hu Ye looked at the old look of Tongtian Rat, smiled and waved to greet him.

Afterwards, Hu Ye went to see the other old men. Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian were not excited about Hu Ye's return. Instead, they blamed Hu Ye for not bringing them good things back this time. However, when Hu Ye left, Lou Ying called Hu Ye, took Hu Ye's pulse, and then prescribed a prescription for Hu Ye, saying that Hu Ye would decoct and take it every day and would not be cut off for at least a year.

"Old Lou, are you afraid of replenishing that kid to death?" After Hu Ye left, Xiao Jiuxian asked Lou Ying curiously.

"That kid must have suffered a great disaster when he went out this time. Although it was not visible on the surface, his pulse was a little disordered, and it was damaged, leaving behind sequelae. If he didn't make up for it now, he would probably have a big problem in the future." After Lou Ying finished speaking, he continued to fiddling with his medicinal materials.

Hu Ye was holding the prescription a little strange. How could Lou Ying suddenly prescribe her prescription? But looking back on the past few days during the march, there were always pains in the middle of the night, which was very likely the sequelae left on Dongtianmu.

No matter what, Lou Ying’s house is always a good thing, so I’ll drink it for a few days.

Later, Hu Ye met Li Yuanshan, and this old scholar was almost out of reach, especially when he learned about Hu Ye's affairs, he ate less and less, so now he can only rely on two bites of porridge to prosper.

The two men guarding Li Yuanshan's house were Lu Xun and Sun Hang, who were kneeling in front of Li Yuanshan.

Because Li Yuanshan has always taught them to be loyal and patriotic people, but what they did made Li Yuanshan feel heartbroken, so they wanted to ask Li Yuanshan for forgiveness.

Hu Ye came in and asked them to go out. To untie Li Yuanshan's knot, he had to do it himself.

"Teacher."

Hu Ye bowed to Li Yuanshan, but Li Yuanshan left his head and said that he would not accept this gift.

As early as when Zhu Di entered the city, Li Yuanshan was preparing to go to the trouble with Huang Yu and Qisong to show his loyalty to the king. But the development of things was different from what he imagined. Huang Yu and Qisong were fine, but Hu Ye disappeared. He had already guessed that Hu Ye was Zhu Di's undercover from the beginning, otherwise Zhu Di would not have committed any crime to the academy.

It was from that day that Li Yuanshan was seriously ill.

He was worried that he could be said to have been in charge of the academy. It took four years to reach its current scale, but now he has to serve Zhu Di. As an old scholar, he felt very uncomfortable as an old scholar.

"Do you still know how to come back? Don't enjoy your wealth and glory in the court?" Li Yuanshan coughed and said coldly to Hu Ye.

"Master Li, I, Hu Ye, are not for glory and wealth, otherwise at least half of the wealth in the world is from Hu's surname." Hu Ye said slowly.

"Then why did you build the Qingtian Academy? Why did you have to accomplice with the traitors? Why didn't you protect the court?" Li Yuanshan said angrily.

"Master Li, I set up the Qingtian Academy just to teach the knowledge I have mastered to more people. I also want to cultivate some talents for the Ming Dynasty. As for you, I am accomplice with the traitor, I don't agree." Hu Ye came to Li Yuanshan's bedside and said, "Taizong of Tang can be regarded as the emperor of the ages, but how did he do it outside the Xuanwu Gate? Song Taizu was a hero for a lifetime, so why did he wear a yellow robe?"

"Absurd! Could it be that you want to compare Zhu Di with Emperor Tang and Emperor Song Zu? He has that qualification!"

Li Yuanshan was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard Hu Ye's debate.

"Mr. Li, don't be excited. You're just telling a fact. I dare to ask if there were any major changes in the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year of Jianwen's administration? In addition to the people's hands, what did the people get? Tax reduction and exemption? Go and ask if the tax has increased or decreased over the past few years?"

"Hmph, if you hadn't colluded with Zhu Di, how could the people live in dire straits without this Jingnan Campaign?" Li Yuanshan said.

"Why would you like Master Li, if Jianwen continued to be the emperor, do you think he would become a hero like Emperor Taizu?" Hu Ye asked back.

"I can't guarantee that he will become a hero for the first lifetime, but he will definitely be a benevolent for the first lifetime." Li Yuanshan retorted.

"Master Li. Do you know that in the Ming Dynasty, there were Koreans in the east, Japanese pirates, Annan in the south, Mongolia in the north, and great cannibals in the west. When Taizu died, they wanted to siege the Ming Dynasty. I believe that Master Li also knew about the assassination of King Ning. The Japanese pirates invaded Quanzhou, and Master Li also knew about it? The regime in Annan has changed now, and it is a more ambitious person in power. Do you think he will surrender to the Ming Dynasty? There is a hero named Lame Timur who killed the special envoy of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago and openly declared war on the Ming Dynasty. Taizu did not get sick because of the long journey. But the Lame Timur was not a person who was content with the status quo. If the Ming Dynasty did not attack him, he would come to attack the Ming Dynasty. Ili Hami was the target he longed for."

"Does the Master still think that the Ming Dynasty is a time to live and work in peace? At this time, what is needed is a kind and generous benevolent master? If the lame Timur calls him, what should he do? Go back? Or do nothing?" Hu Ye said loudly to Li Yuanshan.

After hearing Hu Ye's words, Li Yuanshan didn't know what to say.

"Can you be sure that he is a wise monarch? Will his cruelty not become a tyrant?"

"Master Li, what the Ming Dynasty needs now is a cruel king, otherwise how can we deal with strong enemies from all sides?"

"Do you just guarantee that what he did is better than Jianwen?"

"Master, don't worry, as the emperor, the Ming Dynasty will only become unprecedentedly powerful. The powerful enemies on all sides will only bow down and surrender, and the lives of the people will become rich and prosperous."

"Is this your promise to me?" Li Yuanshan's eyes became dim and he asked in a low voice.

"Yes, this is my promise to you. One day, you will see a completely different Ming Dynasty."

"Boy, you have changed." Li Yuanshan smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Teacher, people will always change."

"No, I will not change." Li Yuanshan closed his eyes and said, "After I die, I will bury me in the back mountain of the academy. I don't care about anything else. I just want to look at the academy. If you take the academy astray, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost." (To be continued...)
