The anger was shocked to the extreme, but Emperor Hongwu calmed down, like a pot of hot water boiling and boiling, but there was no roar when it gradually heated up.

It's too coincidental, the timing of Li Shanchang's resignation is too coincidental, and even the timing of stabbing Zhu Shouqian's rebellion case is like facing a Western bell. As soon as King Yan accused him of creating Xie Zaixing's unjust case and assassinating the prince, he immediately hinted that King Yan and King Jingjiang had joined forces to plot evil.

For many years, Li Shanchang has a very good understanding of Emperor Hongwu's temper, and this dead silence is brewing behind the storm.

Li Shanchang's mind was quick, and he immediately changed his words and comforted: "Weichen watched the child of King Jingjiang grow up, and also served as his teacher, he has a simple temperament, is a diligent and studious child, and is also very filial to the emperor and queen. may have gone out of the palace to build a mansion and live alone when he became an adult, and he was entangled by the old ministry of those who had ill intentions about his biological father, and said some demagogic words, reversing black and white, King Jingjiang was young and ignorant, and he took the wrong path for a while. ”

Zhu Shouqian is Xu Miaoyi's cousin, with half of the Xie family's blood flowing in his body, as early as the day Xu Miaoyi returned to the capital, Li Shanchang took precautions, sent eyeliner to follow Zhu Shouqian, found Zhu Shouqian's fatal handle, and kept it quietly in his hand, as a killer weapon against Xu Miaoyi, ready to save his life in the future.

Now that Tu Qian Dagger has torn off all the disguises, it's time to throw it out to contain Xu Miaoyi.

Expose this major case of rebellion and cut off Xu Miaoyi's two big arms, King Jingjiang and King Yan, killing two birds with one stone. Li Shanchang is sleek and sleek, and he can not only achieve his goal, but also take himself out as much as possible - just like he did to Xie Zaixing and Zhu Wenzheng's son-in-law.

Li Shanchang said again: "From the perspective of Weichen, King Yan should have been aware of King Jingjiang's intentions, thinking of his uncle and nephew, flesh and blood, so he didn't tell the emperor to know, and secretly persuaded King Jingjiang to destroy the firearms and turn back. begged the emperor not to blame King Yan, he was forced to hide it from the emperor. ”

If it is an ordinary politician, he may take the opportunity to fall into the well and involve King Yan in the rebellion case. But the old fox Li Shanchang can accurately grasp the proportions, and knows the truth that is too much: Zhu Yuanzhang withstands the pressure from inside and outside the government and the opposition, and must engage in something "Fagu Jianbang", because the people he trusts most are always his sons!

At this time, it was said that King Yan and King Jingjiang were going to join forces to kill his father and rebel, and the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang not only would not believe it, but would be even more suspicious of Li Shanchang.

After Li Shanchang exposed the matter, even if Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi had evidence in the future and came forward to identify him as the murderer, Zhu Yuanzhang would not believe them anymore, thinking that they were taking revenge on Li Shanchang.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought to himself, Zhu Di, a child who has been a cold temperament since he was a child, he does not have such a deep affection for Zhu Shouqian, he is willing to take the risk of disloyalty and filial piety to cover up this matter, it must be for Xu Miaoyi, a troublemaker!

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The Ministry of Punishment secretly handed over this matter to Jinyiwei for detailed investigation. ”

Emperor Hongwu was very self-contained, full of worries, and mixed tastes in his heart, he still left Li Shanchang in the palace with a pleasant face, and set up a banquet to bid farewell to this old minister, and did not neglect this old minister in terms of etiquette, as if the turbulent waves of Fang Cai had not happened at all.

Li Shanchang also seemed to be very happy at the banquet, without any psychological burden, and raised his glass openly and reminisced with Zhu Yuanzhang about the past:

“…… Wechen still remember the situation when he first saw the emperor, when the emperor had just pacified Chuzhou and drove away the Northern Yuan barbarians, Wechen led the local celebrities to greet him, and the emperor Lixian corporal, and Wechen hit it off, and entrusted with the military aircraft, Wechen was very moved, and immediately decided to follow his life. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was also full of emotion, and personally poured Li Shanchang full of hot Huadiao wine, "At that time, I was just a reckless farmer, and I was regarded as a bandit by many people, and Aiqing was already a famous person in Jiangnan at that time, and I actually deigned to be a staff member under my account. ”

Li Shanchang laughed heartily, "It's because they have eyes and no beads, not because Weichen Mingzhu is dark." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "You and I have been monarchs and ministers for decades, and not everyone can be as loyal as Aiqing." Guo Zixing was deceived by traitors, thinking that I had betrayed him, I was deprived of military power and imprisoned, and Xu Dachang Yuchun and other brothers were also assigned to other generals. At that time, Guo Zixing invited you to join his account as a staff member, and you risked killing your head and rejected Guo Zixing, firmly believing in my innocence. I have always kept this friendship in my heart. ”

Guo Zixing is the father-in-law of Queen Ma, and after Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he posthumously crowned Guo Zixing as the king regardless of his previous suspicions. When Zhu Yuanzhang defected to the Red Turban Army led by Guo Zixing, he was deeply liked by him, and married his righteous daughter Ma to Zhu Yuanzhang. Guo Zixing's son was jealous and slandered Zhu Yuanzhang for rebellion, and Guo Zixing imprisoned Zhu Yuanzhang.

Queen Ma is unyielding, vows not to remarry, firmly believes in her husband's innocence, and secretly takes the baked cakes to the prison to deliver food to her husband, burning her skin and making a sound, Li Shanchang has also been running outside for Zhu Yuanzhang to clear up her grievances, in the most difficult time of her life, Queen Ma and Li Shanchang will not give up, so Zhu Yuanzhang has special trust and respect for Li Shanchang.

After Guo Zixing's death, although he still had several sons, but in the end, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who inherited Guo Zixing's soldiers and horses and territory, in fact, there are ulteriors behind all the "expectations", Li Shanchang's plan, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition, the right time, place and people, how Zhu Yuanzhang broke the throne as a righteous son-in-law, the cruel truth has been deliberately erased, history is written by the successful with pen and ink, leaving only the words "what everyone wants".

From then on, this Red Turban Army called Zhu Yuanzhang the main prince and listened to his orders. It can be said that without Li Shanchang, there would be no today's Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

The warm Huadiao wine ignited the passion for making contributions in the past, and Emperor Hongwu said: "Jun is to me, like Xiao He to Han Gaozu." Come, Aiqing drinks this cup full. ”

Recalling the past, Li Shanchang was a little stunned, and secretly thought to himself: At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang encountered the first major crisis in his life and almost died in prison, but I knew that I couldn't do it, so I fished him out of prison and helped him to turn things around.

At that time, I had no long things, but my loyalty to him was not lost at all to Xie Zaixing. But when he had the second major crisis in his life, I wavered and retreated, and later, in order to make up for this mistake, I had to kill Xie Zaixing's family......

Li Shanchang pondered, raised his glass and drank it all, and sighed: "In fact, with a Ming monarch like Gaozu, he can achieve a famous minister like Xiao He, if Xiao He follows the short-sighted overlord of Western Chu like Xiang Yu, there will be no such eternal Ming Xiang in the history books, and the same is true for Weichen and the emperor.

It was the emperor who made Weichen. ”

"The emperor is a true dragon emperor, with a long-term vision, and others have some soldiers and horses and turf and are busy building a harem on the grass platform team called the emperor, drunk and dreaming of death. Only the emperor does not forget the roots, still wears cloth clothes, eats coarse tea and light rice, and puts all his energy on compassion for the world, Weichen still remembers that after the emperor took over Guo Zixing's soldiers and horses, he asked Weichen, when will the rebellion in the world end? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I remember, you said that the world was in turmoil at the end of Qin, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, achieved the foundation of the emperor in five years. The prime minister expects things to be like a god, and sure enough, as you wish, I am reluctant to let you resign now. ”

Li Shanchang said modestly: "It's not how clever Weichen is, for thousands of years, the rise and fall of each dynasty, the law is roughly the same, after Weichen resigned, the emperor only needs to take history as a mirror and educate his children and grandchildren, he will be able to protect my Ming dynasty for thousands of generations." ”

Li Shanchang's words were really beautiful, even though Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious of him, he really had a sense of reluctance in his heart at this time.

At the farewell banquet, the monarch and the ministers were happy, Emperor Hongwu decreed, Xu Li Shanchang told the old man to return to his hometown, Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang were both Fengyang villagers, in addition to gold and silver treasure money, but also gave Fengyang the territory of a thousand hectares of fertile land, 150 graves, 1,500 tenants, 20 honor guards, etc.

Li Shanchang was drunk and walked unsteadily, and Emperor Hongwu also specially gave him a royal car and sent him back to the Korean government.

In the Korean Mansion, the old wife handed over a decanting soup, "It's okay if you resign, let's go back to Fengyang's hometown to spend our old age and live a few years of peace." ”

Li Shanchang was drunk, but his mind was always very clear, thinking about whether there was anything wrong with his conversation with the emperor at the banquet, it was Li Shanchang's principle of life that he did not leak, he did not allow himself to make mistakes, if he was really negligent and made a mistake, he would find out and make up for it as soon as possible, because he and Xu Miaoyi Yan Wang had torn his face, and he would not be in the court in the future, if Xu Miaoyi defended and attacked, his situation was very bad.

Just thinking about it, the eunuchs and female officials of the princess's mansion suddenly came to the Korean mansion to report the good news: "Congratulations to the Korean princess, the Korean duchess, today the imperial doctor came to the princess's mansion to diagnose the pulse, and Princess Lin'an is pregnant." ”

The old wife of the Korean duchess happily recited the Buddha, and Li Shanchang sat back on the chair with relief, great, no matter whether the princess gave birth to a man or a girl, she is the backer of our Li family!

Let's say that Emperor Hongwu and Li Shanchang tested each other, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi anxiously waited for the news, but heard Li Shanchang resign from the old man, Emperor Hongwu gave Li Shanchang a generous gift, set up a farewell banquet, and the monarch and ministers were happy.

Looking at Xu Miaoyi's disappointed eyes, Zhu Di comforted and said: "Li Shanchang, this old fox is not so easy to deal with, this time he is forced to resign immediately and return to his hometown, his father should be suspicious of him, and he dare not let him be prime minister for another day." ”

Xu Miaoyi is more and more frustrated character, after a short period of disappointment, she quickly lifted her spirits, "I know, Li Shanchang is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many henchmen in the DPRK and China, even if the evidence is conclusive, the emperor cannot immediately uproot his power in the court, we have to slowly grind him to death." ”

Zhu Di looked at the south with a vague gaze: "The evidence of the dart bureau and you and me were all destroyed by Li Shanchang, but he probably didn't expect that Ma Sanbao and them took the treasure map and the third document on a sea boat, crossed the ocean, and went to the Ryukyu Kingdom." ”

Xu Miaoyi rekindled hope, nodded and said: "Yes, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, we will let Li Shanchang think that he has destroyed all the evidence, and there is no longer any worries, when he relaxes and paralyzes, resigns and returns to his hometown, the forces in the DPRK and China will be eliminated by the emperor and us little by little, and in the future, Ma Sanbao will come back from the Ryukyu Kingdom to hunt for treasures, and these evidences will be enough to give him the final blow......"

The two were looking at the navigation chart, whispering that Ma Sanbao should have arrived there at this time, and Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, ran in despair and said, "Fourth brother, Miaoyi, the big thing is not good!" The Jingjiang Palaces were surrounded by Jinyi Guards, and many civil and military officials of the county palaces were arrested and imprisoned! ”

Xu Miaoyi was shocked, "What about my cousin?" ”

Zhu Hu said: "It was announced into the palace." ”

Xu Miaoyi had heart palpitations inexplicably, and she had a bad premonition. Jin Yiwei commanded Mao Xiang to visit King Yan's mansion in person, "His Royal Highness King Yan, the emperor announced that you have entered the palace." 166 Reading Network
