In the Korean Mansion, the candles were flickering, and all the servants were standing in the courtyard with fear, and even if they were still some distance from the study, they could hear the roaring voice of Lee Sun-chang. For them, it is even more shocking than the sunrise in the West, many people have followed Li Shanchang all their lives, and they all know that Li Shanchang is good at using tactics to quietly annihilate his opponent in the bud, and they have never seen Li Shanchang make such a big fire in public.

Li Shanchang was still wearing the official uniform of the previous dynasty, his face was full of gloom, and he asked in a tone of suspicion and incomprehension: "Wei Yong, what are you doing? Why do you want to instigate Fei Ju and Zhou Dexing to confront the emperor? This will do us no harm, but it will make the emperor suspicious of the Huaixi officials. Didn't I warn you to keep a low profile during this time, and not to get involved in court battles?"

The teacher was angry, the student did not instigate the fee, and the two people contradicted the emperor, but felt that the emperor was unfair, and this time it was clearly suppressing the Huaixi military generals, and the students were cold, so they mentioned a few words to the two generals. Hu Weiyong lowered his head, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and his words were quite aggrieved.

Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi is preparing to be in-laws with Hu Weiyong, and let his son marry Hu Weiyong's niece, the two have exchanged more sticks, which can be regarded as a quasi-in-law relationship, at this time, seeing Hu Weiyong being blamed, he hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother don't worry, Brother Hu Xian also said a few more words for the interests of our Huaixi officials, only blame Fei and Zhou Erren for being too reckless, and they don't put the emperor in their eyes if they think they have merit." ”

Li Shanchang angrily rebuked: "Hmph! Don't I know that the emperor is suppressing military generals? From ancient times to the present, there are still few examples of birds hiding with bows? If the emperor has the heart to use military generals, we must be more cautious and not run into the limelight." Now Fei and Tuesday have angered the emperor, so that the emperor has found an excuse to wield a knife, but he is afraid that the situation will become more and more out of control. How do you let me say you're good?"

Hu Weiyong raised his head and argued unconvinced: "The emperor didn't just start to emphasize literature and light martial arts today, he has the intention to collect power, even if he doesn't move Fei and Tuesday, he will move others, and before that, Tang He was demoted by him." ”

Li Shanchang shook his head, "There is one thing, no two, we should use the soup and the determination to test the emperor, we should immediately restrain our actions, hide behind the scenes, and don't wave the flag and shout in front." If you want to borrow the emperor's attitude to squeeze out the power of Liu Ji and others, you shouldn't instigate the Huaixi military generals, you see who the emperor is moving now. If he moves the Jiangnan general, not only will I not be angry, but I will also be very happy. However, although Fei and Zhou are military generals, they are Huaixi officials, and our opponents are Jiangnan officials, but because of your agitation, the emperor's attention has been provoked, and the Jiangnan officials have been huddled together. In the long run, the situation in the court will be greatly unfavorable to our Huaixi faction in the future. ”

"The student knows it's wrong. Looking at Li Shanchang's serious expression, Hu Weiyong's face turned red, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Seeing that his future in-laws were being trained to be depressed, Li Cunyi was very embarrassed and persuaded: "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing." Brother Hu Xian already knows that he is wrong, big brother, you forgive him this time. ”

Li Shanchang sighed, "Wei Yong, today I said that you are for your good, although you have already done too often Shaoqing, but you have to take a long-term view, don't ignore any small things, the so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body is like this." The emperor's sacred heart is unpredictable, if he knows that you and I are involved in this matter, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. Now that we have been caught off guard, we still need to think of remedies to recover our losses as soon as possible and relax the emperor's vigilance. ”

"But the emperor is angry, I'm afraid that he won't listen to the persuasion, what should we do?" Li Cunyi hesitated.

Hu Weiyong suggested: "The students think that we should play the emperor with other officials, and ask the emperor to release the fee and Tuesday." ”

Li Shanchang slapped the table, "You want to put pressure on the emperor? Ridiculous! The emperor has always eaten soft rather than hard, and you and I will only backfire and pull more people into the water!"

Li Cunyi and Hu Weiyong were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound.

At this time, the housekeeper trembled and came to report to Feng Guosheng and Zhu Sheng for a meeting.

"These two people pleaded for Fei and Zhou in the court, and now they must be here for this matter. Wait a little longer in your study, and I'll go and see them. Li Shanchang straightened his official robe and walked towards the living room, leaving Hu Weiyong and Li Cunyi looking at each other.

Entering the living room, Feng Guosheng and Zhu Sheng hurriedly saluted.

"Your Excellency is polite, please be seated. Li Shanchang smiled and helped the two of them, and there was no previous haze and anger on his face.

Zhu Sheng noticed that Li Shanchang was still wearing an official robe, and said: "Han Gong still needs to take care of his body, don't work too much." ”

"It's the duty of the official to share the worries of the king, I don't know why the two adults are visiting?" Li Shanchang said officially.

"The prince of the country works for the affairs of the state, how can the lower officials stay out of the matter. Zhu Sheng knew that Li Shanchang had guessed their intentions, and said directly: "The lower officials are here for the two generals, Fei Ju and Zhou Dexing, and I ask the Duke for forgiveness if there is a lot of disturbance." ”

Li Shanchang smiled with interest: "In this way, Master Zhu has a good plan? He was thinking about how to divert Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, it was good to have Zhu Sheng and Feng Guosheng fighting in front.

Zhu Sheng arched his hand and said: "The stability of the minister's heart is particularly important at this moment, and the lower official implores the Han Gong to come forward to appease the minister's heart." ”

Li Shanchang didn't answer, but said: "But the sacred heart is unpredictable." How can the officials be at ease if they don't know the emperor's intentions? Moreover, not everyone can listen to the old man's advice. ”

Feng Guosheng said bluntly: "There is a queen in the palace to persuade the emperor, and I can just appease the ministers." ”

"Huh?" Li Shanchang's eyes narrowed, and a fine light quickly swept by, "How does General Feng know about the affairs in the palace?"

Zhu Sheng didn't have time to stop him, Feng Guosheng didn't doubt him, and told Liu Jixiang and Ma Xiuying's handwriting.

Li Shanchang smiled hypocritically, "The queen is worried about the court, which is the blessing of all officials, and the old man will do his best to fulfill the queen's trust, and strongly persuade the ministers to live in harmony and keep to themselves." I only hope that the emperor can calm down his anger as soon as possible and waive the punishment of the two generals Fei and Zhou. ”

Feng Guosheng and Zhu Sheng got Li Shanchang's reply and got up to leave.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhu Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "General Feng really shouldn't mention Liu Taishi and the Empress in front of the Korean Princess. ”

Feng Guosheng was taken aback and wondered: "I know that the Korean prince has always disliked Liu Taishi, but the queen has always supported our Huaixi officials, why ......?"

Zhu Sheng sighed, and finally didn't say anything, leaving Feng Guosheng, who was puzzled, and got into his carriage first.
