You're not so stupid that you can't even hear such words!

When Zhu Zhanji saw Xie Jin, his face turned pale with fright, and he was speechless.

Needless to say, this guy's emotional intelligence has given him a lot of insight.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Xie Jin a little distracted, smiled and suddenly asked: "Do you want to live?"

"Want to live?"

Jie Jin came back to his senses after hearing the words, glanced at Zhu Zhanji, with some mockery on his face, and then seemed to look away suddenly, and continued to grab the scrambled eggs with chives on the table, eating them while saying vaguely:

"If you want me to die, I have to die. If your highness feels that I am pitiful, you can bring some more food and drinks. I will be very grateful!"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Jie Jin with some admiration. To be honest, although this guy has a stubborn mind, sometimes he is the most open-minded.

If nothing else, Zhu Zhanji felt that if Zhu Di wanted to kill him, he would never sit back and wait for death.

And he could also see that Xie Jin's free and easy attitude was not just an act.

Zhu Zhanji watched Xie Jin eating the food, played with the empty wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile:

"The Emperor went to the Northern Expedition. Now I am supervising the country. A few days ago, Ji Gang rebelled. I killed Ji Gang and copied 60 million taels of silver from his yard. Therefore, the military expenditure for the Northern Expedition was also increased from the original 10 million taels of silver.

, turned into 30 million taels. At present, it seems that the emperor will not be able to come back before the winter of next year during the Northern Expedition. The emperor is not in Yingtian, so Yingtian is decided by me. If I don’t kill you, there will be no death.

People can kill you!"

"Ji Gang is dead?"

Jie Jin glanced at Zhu Zhanji with some surprise, and then said with a look of realization: "No wonder the people here have put on some new faces in the past few days, grandson, I won't say anything else, you have to be with me

They just talk about it, if you want to fight, then fight, how can you starve people for nothing?"

Jie Jin finished his remarks with an angry look on his face, and then said in a depressed voice: "Couldn't you be a little louder? I disturbed them to sleep, and I admitted they beat me, but they made me hungry every day.

The problem is, is it possible that the Ming Dynasty still lacks my food?"

Watching Xie Jin complain for a long time, he was stunned without saying a word to get to the point.

Zhu Zhanji almost laughed angrily and said: "Looking at you like this, you must not be hungry enough. Cheng, you can continue to be hungry. Before the Emperor's Northern Expedition ends, for the sake of past friendship, I will ensure that you will not die."

, but after the Emperor’s Northern Expedition is over, you can wish yourself good luck!”

After saying that, Zhu Zhanji stood up.

He finally figured out that he owed it to him.

Need to clean up!

Sure enough, the next moment, Jie Jin saw Zhu Zhanji getting up to leave, so he became a little anxious. He stood up quickly, ignoring the dirty prison uniform on his body, and rushed to Zhu Zhanji in two or two steps.

Blocking Zhu Zhanji's way.

Then he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, bowed respectfully and said:

"Your Highness, please save me!"

"Save you?"

Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said, "Would you rather be beaten than hungry?"

Zhu Zhan basically thought he would be embarrassed.

However, what made Zhu Zhanji a little bit eye-opening was that despite his thick eyebrows and big eyes, this guy was extremely thick-skinned. After hearing this, he bowed again and said with a serious face:

"Back to Your Highness Taisun, I still have to eat, but if I can survive, I will also be happy. As the saying goes, if you can have your cake and eat it too, you will naturally have to eat both!"

Good guy!

To have the cake and eat it too, if Old Master Meng knew that one of his descendants had changed his words like this, the coffin board might not be able to hold it down, right?

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Xie Jin, and although he complained in his heart, this kind of Xie Jin actually made him feel more recognized.

After all, what he wants is not a well-behaved scholar.

Sitting back in his seat, Zhu Zhanji looked at Xie Jin, who also sat back obediently.

Zhu Zhanji then said: "I know Mr. Xie's literary talents. In fact, the emperor also admires Mr. Xie very much!"

Zhu Zhanji paused for a moment as he spoke. Seeing some sullen expression on Xie Jin's face, he changed his words and said, "But, you also know that since ancient times, there are not just one or two talented people who died early.

Huo Qubing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jia Yi, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Wang Bo, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Li He, Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, etc."

Zhu Zhanji named four people, who were obviously known as the most read people in the past five hundred years. Xie Jin knew all of these people.

But just because he knew it, when Zhu Zhanji said something, his face turned pale. When Zhu Zhanji saw him like this, he smiled and said:

"Of course, Mr. Xie is actually luckier than them. If I remember correctly, Mr. Xie should be 45 years old this year, right? In that case, he has lived a long enough time!"

Xie Jin: "..."

Xie Jin glanced at Zhu Zhanji, who had a mocking look on his face, and felt that if the person in front of him who said this was not the emperor's grandson, he must let this person know that he, Xie Xueshi, had also practiced.

What does it mean to be lucky compared to others?

What else does it mean to live long enough?

Who would want to die if they could live?

Haven't you ever heard that it's better to die than live?

It's true that he has a stubborn streak in Jie Jin, but that doesn't mean he wants to die?

Seeing Zhu Zhanji talking about himself, Xie Jin reluctantly saluted again and said: "I know that I am guilty, please show me the way out!"

Zhu Zhanji saw that Xie Jin had softened, but did not let him go immediately. Instead, he continued to ask: "Do you really know that you are wrong?"

Xie Jin nodded: "I know the crime!"

Zhu Zhanji showed a smile on his face, nodded and asked, "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Xie Jin: “…”

Hearing this, Jie Jin's face showed a hint of astonishment, and he almost failed to keep up with Zhu Zhanji's rhythm.

When he admits his mistake, he just surrenders, but where is his mistake? How does he know where he is wrong?

"My lord...my lord, this...this..."

He opened his mouth, but for a moment no words came out.

"Come on!"

Seeing him like this, Zhu Zhanji didn't expect him to say anything.

He just beats this thing, otherwise he always thinks that there is some ink in his stomach and likes to play some arrogant tricks.

If we were to change to an era without great unification, or an era with many wastes waiting for improvement, those who rely on their talents and arrogance would indeed be popular.

But being arrogant in front of a powerful emperor will let you know in minutes what cruel reality is!

Unfortunately, Zhu Di happened to be a very powerful emperor.

Fang Xiaoru did not write a succession edict, so Zhu Di had ten clans executed.

Zhu Zhanji didn't expect that it would be so difficult for him to save this guy.

This guy turned around and ran to Zhu Di again to apply eye drops and finish playing with himself again!

Therefore, talents can be used, but what should be beaten, Zhu Zhanji thinks, still needs to be beaten.

At least let Xie Jin know that he is afraid.

Interrupting Xie Jin's words, Zhu Zhanji also started talking about business, saying:

"Now that the Emperor is going on the Northern Expedition, you will be absolutely safe in a short period of time. However, this matter cannot be guaranteed. So if you want to survive, you have to prove your worth. Otherwise, even if you survive this period of time, you will not be able to wait until the end of the Northern Expedition."

, I stepped down from the position of supervising the country. When the time comes, the emperor wants to kill you, but the result will be the same and no one can stop me."

Hearing this, Xie Jin nodded, knowing that Zhu Zhanji was telling the truth, but soon he said with some distress:

"Grandson, I really want to prove my worth, but now that I'm behind bars, I can't do anything even if I want to!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you anxious?"

Zhu Zhanji curled his lips and said: "You want to go out now, but I can't do anything about it in the short term. Although I have the final say in prison now, if I release you, the emperor will probably take back the right to prison tomorrow!"

Xie Jin was speechless: "..."

Zhu Zhanji did not whet his appetite and continued: "But there is one thing I have here. Even if you are in prison, you can do it. I just don't know if you are willing to do it?"

When Xie Jin heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy, and he said without thinking, "My grandson, please tell me!"

Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied when he saw him like this. He was not afraid that this guy would not have any ideas, but that he would not be able to think clearly.

As long as you want to live, everything will be easy.

Zhu Zhanji changed his sitting posture and said with a smile: "This matter is a good thing for you to be famous throughout the ages. If you do it well, even if you once compiled the Yongle Canon, it will be remembered here.

In front of this matter, it can also be said to be something not worth mentioning!"

When Xie Jin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Compiling the Yongle Canon was something he had always been proud of.
