The streets were a bit deserted in the morning, mainly because people in the entire capital spent all night last night, so most people naturally couldn't get up in the morning.

Li Jie traveled through the street in a carriage and finally entered the imperial city directly. After getting off the carriage, someone immediately led him to Jinshen Hall. However, when Li Jie got off the carriage, he brought two boxes, one big and one small. There were guards in the middle of the carriage. They were released because there were no weapons inside. However, when he entered the area of ​​Jinshen Hall, he was still stopped.

Along the way, Li Jie was also looking at the Nanjing Forbidden City. Later generations had visited the Forbidden City in Beijing. At that time, he thought the Forbidden City was majestic and worthy of being the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. But at this time, he found that the Nanjing Forbidden City was larger than the Forbidden City in Beijing and the palace was built more majestic. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty later moved the capital, which caused the palace to gradually become dilapidated.

The eunuch led Li Jie to the East Warehouse in Jinshen Hall. He also saw Zhu Biao standing in front of the Warehouse door at a glance, which made him immediately go forward and salute, "My minister Li Jie, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No need to be polite. This time my father is going to summon you. Do you know why?" Zhu Biao asked at Li Jie with a smile.

"But for the sake of the two guards' rebellion?" Li Jie asked without hesitation.

"How do you know?" Zhu Biao was even more surprised when he heard this. Although the news of the rebellion between the two guards had been notified to the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War yesterday, military secrets like this need to be kept confidential, and there are probably not many people who know it until now.

"When I was playing on the street yesterday, I saw the Jinyiwei rushing into the imperial city. Today I received the order from Your Highness to call me into the palace. It is not difficult to analyze the reason." Li Jie smiled slightly, with a look of a wise bead holding it.

"You are indeed extremely intelligent. No wonder your father summoned you personally!" Zhu Biao immediately exclaimed. The reason why he was waiting here was to write to Li Jie in advance so that he could prepare, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

"Thank you for your praise, but I brought you two gifts to Your Majesty, but I was stopped when I entered Jinshen Hall. I wonder if Your Majesty can send someone to get it?"

Li Jie actually didn't think he was very smart. His biggest advantage was that he had hundreds of years of experience and knowledge than the ancients. However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who he had to face, was a generation of emperors who climbed from the bottom to the top. When facing such people, he was scheming and tricky, or some cleverness did not work at all, so he still used the most direct method, that is, to give things, which would definitely leave a deep impression on the other party.

"Oh? What gift are you going to give to your father?" Zhu Biao asked curiously when he heard this.

"It is a tool that benefits the country and the people!" Li Jie smiled mysteriously, but did not explain too much.

Li Jie's mystery also made Zhu Biao even more curious, but he was a polite person, so he did not ask any questions. Instead, he asked someone to take the two boxes and then took them into the warm cabinet by the eunuch.

Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he thought about meeting Zhu Yuanzhang, who was famous in history soon.

When he entered the warm pavilion, Li Jie soon met the burly Zhu Yuanzhang. The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also looking at him at this time, which made Li Jie immediately bow his head and salute, "I am paying homage to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"No need to be polite, get up and answer!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a calm voice.

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard that your grandfather had some prejudice against you, and the two families were also a little unhappy. I have known him for decades and are in-laws. Do I want me to help you talk to you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Do you want to be so cruel?" Li Jie was speechless. As soon as he met, Lao Zhu asked himself a difficult problem. If he agreed, wouldn't he admit in front of Lao Zhu that he wanted to make peace with Li Shanchang? If Li Shanchang was killed in the future, he would definitely die.

It doesn't work if he doesn't agree. After all, filial piety is the most important thing in this era. Li Jie was kicked out of the house by Li Shanchang before, and the blame was not on him. But if he was unwilling to ease his relationship with Li Shanchang, it means that his grandson, who has hated his elders, is also a traitor in this era.

"Why don't you talk? Are you unwilling to make peace with your grandfather?" Zhu Yuanzhang pressed step by step. This question was deliberately designed to test Li Jie and see if his performance can satisfy himself?

Li Jie finally took a deep breath at this time, and then saluted Zhu Yuanzhang again and said, "Your Majesty, my grandfather has a deep prejudice against me, and it cannot be resolved in just a few words. This also involves my father, uncle, and as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs, so I really don't know how to answer the matters in my family?"

Li Jie was sloppy, and did not agree or disagree. He also brought his father Li Zhu's generation in. After all, Li Shanchang was a generation away from him, and the real conflict actually started from Li Zhu's generation.

"Father, it's really hard for outsiders to interfere in this kind of housework. Moreover, Korean Duke and Li Jie are both smart people. I believe they can definitely handle family affairs well!" At this time, Zhu Biao also helped smooth things over, which made Li Jie look grateful to Zhu Biao. This prince's prince is indeed a generous person, which is much easier to get along with than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Jie was playing tricks, but although he did not answer his own question directly, Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen a little bit, and smiled and said, "The prince's words remind me that I am old and sometimes I look like my mother-in-law!"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and my Ming Dynasty is at its peak. I have two things that benefit the country and the people to present to Your Majesty for the emperor's imperial examination!" Li Jie took the initiative to go forward and spoke. He was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would have any tricky problems for him, so he simply gave the gift to distract the other party's attention.

"Oh, he even brought a gift?" Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised, but he felt a little exaggerated about the four words "benefiting the country and the people".

At that moment, the eunuchs brought the two boxes Li Jie brought to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then opened the long small box on it to reveal a brass tube inside. This made Zhu Yuanzhang a little curious. He reached out to pick it up, but found that there were crystal-like objects on both ends of the tube, and he didn't know what it was for it.

"Your Majesty, this object is called a telescope, or it can be called a clairvoyance. It can enlarge things in the distance and make people see it very clearly..."
