Chapter 192: A good loyal and righteous Li Xiangguo [Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward]
But Zhu Yuanzhang himself was hesitating.
He had found a solution to this problem.
Now, as long as he waits for the end of the conferral of seals, he can slowly dismantle Anfeng Road little by little.
But now that the conferral has not yet begun, he has to do something to Anfeng Road.
So, he was thinking about whether he should wait until the end of the conferment before deciding on this matter.
But seeing that Hu Weiyong and others were so eager to agree to this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood their thoughts.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry.
The reason is simple.
Part of the reason why he came back from Qi Heng was that he wanted him to restrain Li Shanchang.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about what kind of reason to find to get himself out.
Outside the door of the study, Erhu suddenly walked in and said to Zhu Yuanzhang in the room: "Your Majesty, the general is here." ”
Hearing this, everyone in the study changed their expressions.
Especially that Hu Weiyong.
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet expressed his position, and Qi Heng came.
And Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "Let Jun Tao come in." ”
Soon, Qi Heng's figure appeared in the study.
At this time, Qi Heng had just returned from the north, and after hearing the news from Chen Du, he rushed over as soon as possible.
Walking into the study and looking at the people present, Qi Heng immediately bowed his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang on the main seat and said, "Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang heard Qi Heng's words, nodded with a smile, and said, "Jun Tao, you came just in time, we are discussing the matter of the new deal, and you are also here to come up with ideas." ”
"By the way, where have you been these days, and I haven't sent anyone to look for you."
Qi Heng said with a smile: "I had nothing to do, so I went to walk around, and when I came back, I came over as soon as I heard that the emperor was looking for me." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this.
And after Qi Heng saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he turned his head to look behind him.
Looking left and right, there are no chairs around.
Everyone present thought that Hu Weiyong's official position was the lowest, and he didn't even have an official position.
Originally, he should have taken the initiative to give up his seat to Qi Heng, but perhaps because he thought that he was going to have a fight with Qi Heng today, and deliberately made Qi Heng ugly, Hu Weiyong sat on the chair pretending not to know, without the slightest intention of giving way.
Just when everyone looked at Qi Heng and wanted to see how he responded.
Qi Heng suddenly came to Hu Weiyong and said, "Get out of the way, is there a place for you to sit here?" ”
As soon as Qi Heng said this, everyone present was stunned.
Everyone didn't expect that Qi Heng would not give face to Hu Weiyong so much, nor would he give face to Li Shanchang behind Hu Weiyong.
Just let others get out of the way with a word.
Everyone on the side was only surprised after hearing Qi Heng's words.
But Hu Weiyong, who was facing Qi Heng at the moment, looked at Qi Heng with a breathless face, not getting up, not getting up.
wanted to ask Li Shanchang to speak, but found that Li Shanchang didn't speak at all.
Seeing this, Hu Weiyong had no choice but to get up obediently.
No matter how much grievance he has in his heart, he really has no qualifications to sit in the face of Qi Heng.
Looking at what was happening in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang on the main seat couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
Qi Heng's impression in his heart has always been very modest.
No matter who it is, it is approachable, and there is not such a big shelf.
But now, it seems to be a little sharp.
However, for Qi Heng's things, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all.
Don't say that Qi Heng spoke.
Even if he doesn't speak, he has to open his mouth to let people give way.
As Qi Heng sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and asked Liu Bowen to reintroduce the details of the things they had discussed before to Qi Heng.
Of course.
Even if Liu Bowen doesn't say it, Qi Heng is also clear about it.
Because he learned about this from the mouth of the secret guard last night, otherwise he would not have rushed back to Jinling City in the first place.
And after Liu Bowen explained the matter to Qi Heng clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.
"Jun Tao, let's talk about it, you have a lot of ideas, see how we solve it now."
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Qi Heng smiled, but replied: "There are many ways, but Weichen is more curious, who gave the emperor the idea to increase taxes for the people of Anfeng Road?" ”
"It's a pig's brain."
As Qi Heng said this, everyone present was shocked again.
And Hu Weiyong, who was on the side, immediately jumped out after hearing Qi Heng's words, and said to Qi Heng: "General, discuss politics and discuss politics, why bother to hurt people?" ”
Qi Heng said: "Hurting people? Was it the human brain that came up with the idea? I thought only pig brains would come up with such a stupid idea. ”
"You!"
Hu Weiyong pointed at Qi Heng angrily.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang on the side didn't care about Qi Heng's scolding at all, but was very curious about the 'method' he said.
Just as he was about to ask, Li Shanchang, who was sitting on the side, finally spoke at this moment.
How many years have passed, and this is the first time he has taken the initiative to face Qi Heng after being whipped.
He looked at Qi Heng beside him, and slowly spoke: "General, we are all ministers around the emperor, giving advice to the emperor, even if our idea is not right, why should the general hurt people?" ”
"I am waiting for the emperor's courtiers, but you say that we are pig brains, is it possible, the general means that the emperor has no eyes and knows no people?"
Compared with Hu Weiyong, who acted as a pawn, Li Shanchang's opening was a bit-for-tat.
If it was in normal times, Qi Heng, who heard these words, would not talk nonsense to him at all.
Today, however, is different.
When Qi Heng heard that Li Shanchang and these people were going to take the people of Anfeng Road to open the knife, he understood that if he didn't make a move, others would treat him as a soft persimmon.
Immediately, Qi Heng said back: "The emperor naturally will not have no eyes and no pearls, and he doesn't know people. But this does not mean that all the good officials around him are, and the emperor does not care about you, that is the amount of tolerance that the emperor has tolerate. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Heng asked directly at Li Shanchang: "If my guess is correct, this idea should be yours, right?" ”
"Take the well-being of the people of Anfeng Road to fill the deficit next to it, it's really a shame that you can think of it."
"To be honest, I doubt that you are a traitor sent by the tyrant."
Hearing this, Li Shanchang immediately shouted angrily at Qi Heng: "Qi Heng! You're spewing blood! I am loyal to Your Majesty, how can I allow you to slander at will! ”
Qi Heng sneered and said, "How much of the imperial court's financial expenditure comes from Anfeng Road now?" You, the self-styled Li Xiangguo, shouldn't you not understand? It's not nice to say, Anfeng Road is the foundation of the imperial court! ”
"Without Anfeng Road, what do you ministers eat and drink, and what do you use for the northern army?"
"Not to mention whether your so-called new policy is useful or not, even if there is, the foundation of Anfeng Road will be in chaos, and the financial resources of the imperial court will be wiped out immediately. Dare to ask you, Li Xiangguo, will you use your head to fill the deficit at that time, or will you use the head of your disciple to fill the gap? ”
"Besides, all the decrees on Anfeng Road are in accordance with the imperial court code, and the imperial court decrees are changed overnight, maliciously plundering the wealth of the people, let me ask, is the imperial court law still half credible?"
"Now the court takes it from the people of Anfeng Road, but you only know how to take it from the people, but you don't know how to use it for the people, and you want to plunder the wealth of the people, dare to ask you Li Xiangguo, you are doing this, you are not messing with my Ming foundation, what are you doing?!"
"Anfeng Road is in chaos, the court has no money and food, and your Yuan court master is just waving his army south to recover the lost land, Li Xiangguo, you are really a good strategy!"
Listening to Qi Heng's words, in the face of Qi Heng's slander of himself several times, Li Shanchang said angrily: "Qi Heng! You don't want to tell right and wrong here, my loyalty to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon, how can you slander it with a few words! ”
Faced with Li Shanchang's words, Qi Heng said even more disdainfully: "Loyal? Can the sun and the moon be seen? When he was in Haozhou, the emperor's military power had just been taken away, and you Li Xiangguo turned his head and took refuge in Guo Tianxu. ”
"You!"
When Qi Heng talked about the past, Li Shanchang suddenly became angry, and pointed at Qi Heng and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
Liu Bowen and Song Lian and others on the side stepped forward to support Li Shanchang.
And Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Li Shanchang to be like this, and hurriedly said: "Quick, send it to the hospital!" ”
Soon.
With several guards outside the door, Li Shanchang was escorted to the Tai Hospital.
The whole study was quiet again.
Looking at Qi Heng, who was sitting on the side drinking tea peacefully, Zhu Yuanzhang also said helplessly: "Jun Tao, why do you say this, it's been so long......"
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen and the others on the side also looked at Qi Heng after they came back and sat down.
But Qi Heng said indifferently: "What he has done himself, what can't be said." Besides, you can't remember these things, your majesty, I can't remember, those brothers who lived and died with us can't remember, but only he, Li Shanchang, can't not remember. ”
"I mentioned it today, and I also reminded him Li Shanchang, so that he should not forget that everything he has now was given to him by the emperor."
"Big brother, you understand me, I'm used to it, this temple and court is not suitable for me, I don't care about the small tricks that Li Shanchang secretly uses on weekdays. No matter what the prime minister is, I will not fight with him. ”
"But there is only one point, Anfeng Road is the place where we raise troops, and the people there have paid too much for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never allow these malicious people to do anything to harm them in order to achieve certain goals."
"I don't care whether he Li Shanchang is Zhongtang, Prime Minister, or Xiangguo now, but as long as he dares to stretch his hand into Anfeng Road and endanger the interests of the people there, he dares to stretch out a hand, I dare to chop a hand for him, and if he reaches in a pair, I will chop off a pair for him!"
Qi Heng's words came out, and Liu Bowen and the others, who were still in the study at this time, were all frightened.
One by one, they looked cautiously at Zhu Yuanzhang on the main seat.
Those present are all smart people.
They could hear that Qi Heng's words at this moment today were not just about Li Shanchang.
At the same time, it is also warning them to these ministers, even including Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne!
After all, when they discussed this matter just now, Zhu Yuanzhang did not clearly express his opposition to this matter.
This also means that Zhu Yuanzhang is also one of the driving forces behind this incident.
Qi Heng's words also included Zhu Yuanzhang.
Really.
When hearing Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed for a moment.
But soon calm returned.
Yes, today's Qi Heng's words are really a bit arrogant and overdone.
But Qi Heng also said it.
He didn't care what temple or what official position of the imperial court.
It can be regarded as showing his attitude.
What he said today was not because of the struggle for power, but because of the people of Anfenglu.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who wanted to understand this, didn't know whether he really figured it out, or forced himself, his face regained his smile, and said to Qi Heng: "No matter what, now the reform of the country's official governance is imminent. Just now you said that there are many ways, but the benevolent elders are all angry with you and vomit blood, and you have to solve this matter. ”
Liu Bowen and the others saw Qi Heng speak so disrespectfully, Zhu Yuanzhang actually endured it, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang's reflection, Qi Heng seemed to have expected it, and he said directly: "The method is very simple, the decree I implemented in Anfeng Road has been tested by Anfeng Road, and it can be implemented throughout the country." ”
Listening to Qi Heng's words so lightly, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some doubts: "Jun Tao, are you really confident?" ”
Qi Heng said: "Assign the officials of Anfeng Road to various places, and with the methods they learned in Anfeng Road, I dare not say anything else, but the result will definitely not be worse than what Li Shanchang called a new policy." ”
Seeing that Qi Heng was so determined, Zhu Yuanzhang also began to think in his heart.
Since Qi Heng dared to guarantee so firmly, then he must be confident.
But in this way, he needs to put the power in the hands of Qi Heng.
It inevitably made Zhu Yuanzhang hesitate.
But as he thought about it for more and more time, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he couldn't drag it out forever, so he raised his head and said to Qi Heng: "That's it, let's think about this matter first, after all, the stakes are very high, and we can't be careless." ”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Qi Heng naturally didn't have anything to say.
Originally, he didn't come here today to fight for power.
As for the control of Anfeng Road, Qi Heng also thought very clearly in these days, Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow such a place to exist outside of his control.
The problem of Anfeng Road will be solved sooner or later.
The reason why he took the initiative to show up today was completely because he couldn't see that the people of Anfeng Road were taxed several times more by the imperial court.
It's hard to get rich, but if you want to be woolened by the court, no one will feel comfortable in their hearts.
However, he didn't really give up the chips in his hand on his own initiative.
But now that the situation is like this, it is impossible for him to continue to be the same.
In this regard, Qi Heng couldn't wait to pick off Liu Bowen's skin.
I finally let myself fade out of the center of power, as long as the well water of each other does not interfere with the river water, how good it is to live like this.
I had to drag him out again.
Now that Li Shanchang wants to make a move on An Fenglu, he can't do it if he can't think of it.
Therefore, Qi Heng made up his mind, since they wanted to divide the power of his subordinates by conferring the seal.
Then divide them yourself.
It depends on whether they dare to appoint these officials after rewarding them.
Although Li Shanchang's power has been greatly expanded during the period when he is dormant.
But once the officials under him An Fenglu were rewarded and assigned to various places, his power would be replenished in an instant.
Although it is far less important than firmly controlling Anfeng Road.
But An Fenglu is too special, this will be a stone that will never be able to be bypassed between him and Zhu Yuanzhang.
