Uncle Wu knew that she couldn't complete this task, so he sent Mingshu again!

Uncle Wu looked at her with a smile, as if he was showing tolerance for her, and as if he wanted to make her embarrassed.

"I ...... I can't do it! Nong Tieshu was ruthless and decided to confess her thoughts to Uncle Wu.

"The stone is my friend, if I force the servants of the Li family to report the Li family, how will I see him in the future?"

"Well, there is affection and righteousness." Uncle Wu smiled and nodded, no one knew whether the smile was full of praise or sarcasm.

Nong Tieshu doesn't want to explore, everyone has their own secrets in their hearts, and she is no exception.

The identity of the stone is known only to her.

Xinguo Gongtang and in the mansion of Fengyang, the central capital, spent his days in peace, and traveled freely.

In the past few years, he has left the prosperous Jingshi, and he has no reluctance and attachment.

Tang He was a cautious and visionary man.

He always knows what kind of environment he is most comfortable in, and he knows what the consequences of everything he does.

He knew that his mouth was the cause of disaster, so he never talked about state affairs to others, even his wife and children.

He is familiar with the cunning rabbit death, the lackeys cooking, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden, so he has an insight into Zhu Yuanzhang's threat to the opponent with heavy troops and generals behind his back, and he protects himself and returns to his hometown.

Therefore, he not only received the gold, silver, silk and luxurious mansion rewarded to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also got the guarantee of safety.

When the meritorious prince was implicated in Hu Weiyong's case for no reason, Tang He was even more pleased that he had made a forward-looking decision.

On this day, Li Shanchang, who also returned to his hometown, came to his house.

Although they are all returning to their hometowns, they are not equally clever.

Tang He took the initiative to return to his hometown, and Zhu Yuanzhang treated him with sincerity. Li Shanchang was forced to return to his hometown, and Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions were not dispelled.

Tang He sympathized with Li Shanchang, he knew that Li Shanchang had no intention of rebellion, but he was hesitant in case of trouble, which caused a big disaster.

"Dingchen," Dingchen is the word for Tang He, and only old acquaintances who knew him in Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous army would call him that, "We all live in Fengyang City now, and we should have more contacts." I'm just here now, I really shouldn't have been! Li Shanchang said.

"Master Li, you're asking me to find a crack in the ground and drill into it. I'm a junior, so I should have visited Master Li as soon as possible, but there have been a lot of trivial things recently, rude, rude! ”

"Hey, we've known each other for forty or fifty years, and now we're all old guys, and we're still divided into seniors and juniors, in short, we should have more contacts in the future. Now I live one day at a time, and the things of the past always come to mind. Sometimes I want to rush to the battlefield to show my skills. Hahaha! ”

"Master Li is strategizing, and his magical powers are comparable to Xiao He!"

"Dingchen's majestic posture on the battlefield is really majestic, unparalleled!"

"Hahaha!" The two were in high spirits, smiling at each other, gushing back to the past.

It was nearly noon, and Tang and Li Shanchang had lunch together.

The cloud of sorrow immediately shrouded the top of Li Shanchang's head: "Don't stay, I have to go." Recently, I've been so busy that I'm really upset that I came to talk to Dingchen, and now I'm much more comfortable. ”

"Oh, Taishi Li, Xianyun Yehe, what can make you anxious?" Tang He asked.

"Renovate the house." Li Shanchang frowned and hung his head dejectedly, "My luck is not as good as Dingchen." The emperor personally ordered you to build this mansion, which is really good. My house was an old yard that I bought from a rich man. When I renovated it, it was just over a year before the roof leaked and the foundation collapsed. Ay! ”

"Oh, it's really hard to repair the house, where does Taishi Li live now?"

"It's easy to find a place to live, but to build this house depends on my dozen or so domestic servants, I don't know how long it will take to repair it."

When Tang He heard this, he regretted that he had taken Li Shanchang's words with more mouths. Obviously, Li Shanchang, who has not seen each other for several years today, came to the door to repair the house.

Li Shanchang is a civil official, and there is no one under him to call on. Tang He is a military attache who has led troops to fight all the year round, so he naturally has many old departments.

After he returns to his hometown, his old generals will still sell favors. When you need to find someone to work, you will be informed, and a group of soldiers will go to Tangfu to help.

But Tang He is a cautious person. He knew very well that since he had withdrawn from the court, he should not have too much contact with the old ministry, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could feel at ease.

So far, he has not bothered his generals once. As a last resort, he would never use this seemingly powerful but unusable backup.

"Can Dingchen help me?"

Tang He's gaze had already moved away, but Li Shanchang still opened his mouth.

The soup and noodles were embarrassed, but it was not easy to refuse.

He thought that he could only find an opportunity in his favor in the next conversation and decisively refused, so he stubbornly said: "Alas, I am also a powerless person now, how does Taishi Li want me to help?" ”

"Can you borrow three hundred soldiers from your old ministry?"

"Three hundred?" soup and exclamations.

Three hundred soldiers could build a small army, how could he have the courage to borrow so many soldiers?

At the same time, he also began to wonder if Li Shanchang's purpose in borrowing troops was really to repair the house?

Li Shanchang hurriedly explained: "Dingchen, don't get me wrong! You see next month will be Chinese New Year's Eve, I have to add some furniture and furnishings after repairing the house, so I don't know if I can move in at the end of the year, I'm in a hurry! ”

Li Shanchang's explanation did not ease the atmosphere, Tang He's face was solemn and he didn't say a word.

Li Shanchang hurriedly said again: "That's it, three hundred is too much, and that one hundred is fine!" ”

Tang He finally moved his gaze to Li Shanchang's face again: "Master Li, I can't promise you this matter for a while. In this case, you go back first, and I'll contact the old department. ”

Xinguo Gongtang and stayed awake all night, and hurried to Beijing the next day to see the emperor.

He told Zhu Yuanzhang that Li Shanchang had borrowed 300 soldiers from him to repair the house, and said that he would never dare and was not capable of acceding to such a ridiculous request from Li Shanchang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was really furious when he heard the consequences: "Taishi Li didn't report to me when he repaired the mansion, how big is his mansion, and he wants to borrow 300 soldiers?" I think he wants to rebel! Does he also want to learn from Hu Weiyong to hide his soldiers at home? ”

Tang He secretly rejoiced that his caution had saved his life again.

Needless to say, if he lent troops to Li Shanchang without authorization, even if he did not report the matter to the emperor, he would be accused of not reporting it and colluding in rebellion.

Li Shanchang soon received the holy decree to enter the capital and face the saint.

He didn't suspect that it had something to do with Tang He.

Perhaps as he grew older, his judgment deteriorated, as did his physical strength.

Or maybe he was far from expecting Tang and Mingzhe's desire to protect themselves.

He rushed to Beijing with joy, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang would recall him to serve in the court.

Morning.

After the disasters in various places, the war in the north, the appointment and dismissal of officials, and all state affairs were discussed, Zhu Yuanzhang pushed away the mountains of twists and turns on the dragon case, and glanced at the position where Li Shanchang was standing, to ensure that Li Shanchang's every move could not escape his eyes.

"Yesterday, the Xinguo bus Ma Lawton rushed from Fengyang to the palace to report an incident to me."

The ministers were nervous and felt that something was wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion was so heavy that even frank and unrestrained people couldn't help but feel fear.

"Master Li!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

"The minister is here." Li Shanchang's voice trembled a little. When he heard the word "soup and", his physical strength was exhausted in an instant, and he guessed that he might not even be able to stand in the future.

The other officials breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to shake their heads for a moment.

"You borrowed 300 soldiers from Tang He to repair the mansion, but is there such a thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tapped lightly on the dragon case.

He didn't stare directly at Li Shanchang, thinking that this would make him appear less aggressive.

"Back to the emperor, this is indeed the case." Lee Sun-chang calmed down after a lightning-fast battle of thoughts.

He borrowed troops to repair the mansion and did not do anything illegal. If he is inexplicably weak-hearted, he will get into trouble.

"Why don't you report this to me?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy with Li Shanchang's calmness.

"This is just a trivial matter in the minister's family, the emperor has every opportunity, and he doesn't dare to bother the emperor." Li Shanchang replied cautiously.

"Bold! You dare to borrow troops without permission, and you have no fear. If I hand over the power of the army to you, will you dare to hold it? Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and slapped the dragon case heavily. Those who had been in peace with themselves rejoiced.

As soon as Li Shanchang heard that the big thing was not good, he pondered Zhu Yuanzhang's wrong thoughts.

He hurriedly changed his strategy, knelt on the ground, and pleaded in fear: "The emperor is angry!" Lao Chen borrowed troops just to build houses, and he never thought about anything else. The old minister is old and has no power to tie the chicken, if the emperor takes a fancy to the old minister and hands over the military power, the old minister has no ability. ”

Li Shanchang imitated Liu Ji, he knew that the emperor would not suspect the last person was an incompetent person.

"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, and said, "Have you recently had a house slave return to his hometown?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Shanchang gasped, how could Zhu Yuanzhang know about this sesame trivial matter?

"This house slave told me, you know that Hu Weiyong is going to rebel, but is there such a thing?"

Li Shanchang seemed to have fallen into a biting ice cellar, his lips moved twice, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Absolutely, none, this, ...... thing," he exerted all his strength to spit out a few words, and then his ears buzzed, and he was lost in the chaos.

The temple was as quiet as late at night.

The ministers hid their breath well.

The Huaixi Group, which has close contacts with Li Shanchang on weekdays, has been like a plate of scattered sand after Hu Weiyong was eliminated.

At this moment, an old man who has lost his power in the court can only get the same ignorance as the homeless man on the street.

The time when a person's willpower and spirit of resistance are at their strongest is often when he is abandoned by everyone.

Self-help is an innate quality of human beings. Li Shanchang is no exception.
