However, it all depends on how Tang and think.

If he really can't let go of these things in his heart, even if he returns to his hometown, without the prestige of the former master, it is estimated that he will live like a year.

On the contrary, if you can think about it, this day is no worse than that of the gods.

After all, with Tang He's identity and merits, when he returned to his hometown, he didn't dare to say what he wanted in terms of material, but he definitely didn't really lack anything.

Night.

Liu Bowen's mansion.

Because Liu Bowen does not have many connections in the court, the news was received a little late.

But Liu Bowen is the minister of the DPRK and China after all, and he is a little late, but he still arrives.

When Liu Bowen heard the news from his son that Liu Dalin and Wu Shen would kill themselves in front of the palace gate, his face suddenly showed a look of horror.

Although this incident is not small, Zhu Yuanzhang is understandable for doing this.

But when this thing really happened in front of him, he couldn't help but feel shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's firmness of mind.

should be killed, Zhu Yuanzhang will not leave the slightest affection.

And that Tang He, how good the relationship between their brothers used to be, even if he Liu Bowen joined late, he still knew it.

But now.

Because Li Shanchang and Tang He got closer, Zhu Yuanzhang disliked him.

In a word, he took away the soup and the duke who should have it.

Only a marquis was sealed.

It's better now, even the marquis is gone.

Directly demoted to Bo.

Tang and the rank of marshal of the Chinese army were also removed.

In this kind of thing that seems to offend people, Zhu Yuanzhang never seems to disappoint.

Think about the battle at Poyang Lake, because several people were afraid of water and war, no matter how Xu Da pleaded, Zhu Yuanzhang never gave half a mouth.

Those people are all the children who followed them out of Huaixi.

For a while, Liu Bowen actually felt a trace of fear.

If one day he Liu Bowen also did something that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like, would Zhu Yuanzhang also cut him so decisively?

Definitely!

Whether it is from an emotional point of view or anything else, he Liu Bowen is not as strong as those generals who have been cut off.

Once that time comes, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not hesitate at all.

In the past, no matter what kind of things Liu Bowen experienced, he never considered his own safety.

I feel that even if I lose power, I won't fall to the ground.

But now, it's different.

He, Liu Bowen, didn't dare to guarantee that he would be alive.

However, fear is fear.

Now as long as he is a little smarter, he will not be worried about the thing on his neck by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But tonight's events were enough to alert him.

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Liu Bowen had just gotten up, and Lu Chang and Song Lian came together.

Now in this court, there are only these two people who can really count with him Liu Bowen.

As the three of them came to the back garden to drink tea and chat, Song Lian and Lu Chang sighed several times during the period.

Liu Bowen, who was watching this scene, knew that these two should have something to say, so he took the initiative to speak: "What, is my tea so miserable?" ”

Hearing this, the two laughed.

But after laughing, he sighed again.

At this time, Lu Chang slowly spoke: "Yesterday's conferral ceremony can be described as deafening. The seven princes conferred are all Huaixi people, twenty-eight marquis, and twenty-five Huaixi people. ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head.

At the same time, Song Lian on the side continued to speak: "Brother Berwyn, do you still remember the Meiyu dispute on the word forest during the previous dynasty? ”

Hearing this, Liu Bowen nodded and said: "I remember, Mei Shiwu, a student from Huizhou, and Yu Shaotian, a student from eastern Zhejiang, had a debate about the half-page fragment on the Spring and Autumn fragment. The two sides insist on their own words, which is like fire and water. Then, it caused a court dispute, and the aftermath caused by the bad relations between the students of Huizhou and the students of eastern Zhejiang for many years. ”

Seeing that Liu Bowen was clear about this matter, Song Lian continued: "Li Xiangguo's enlightened teacher is under the Mei Ziwu Gate, what about you, you also claim to have taught Yu Shaotian. Now that the two factions have gathered together, will it cause court disputes, or even party disputes? ”

Lu Chang and Song Lian are two people, one of them says a paragraph.

Although I couldn't see what I wanted to express on the surface, I made my worries clear.

first talked about the strength of Huaixi Xungui's current power, and then talked about the contradictions between him Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang, and used the matter of Mei Yu and the others to express their worries about the future.

These two people are worthy of being old fritters in the officialdom, and what they say is leaky.

At this moment, even if someone is listening, they will not get the slightest handle from them, and will only regard this conversation as a literati chatter.

But they told what they wanted to say.

I just want to hear Liu Bowen's attitude and whether there are signs of competing with Li Shanchang.

And Liu Bowen is also a figure who is well versed in this, and after understanding their meaning, he said directly: "Court disputes, I'm afraid that it is inevitable, and when you are on an errand in the same day, it is inevitable that there will be disputes." Party strife, no more! ”

Hearing this, Lu Changdang on the side couldn't help but ask: "Why?" ”

Liu Bowen said: "Because the whole court is a giant party in Huaixi, and below, it is alone, where is the party?" Besides, there will be no parties in the future. ”

But Song Lian said: "The problem is, you say no, people say yes, what should I do at that time?" ”

Liu Bowen didn't care about the worries of Lu Chang and Song Lian, because he knew it in his heart.

At the beginning, he gave Zhu Yuanzhang advice.

In the future, it must be the rivalry between Qi Heng and Li Shanchang, not him Liu Bowen.

However, he understood in his heart, but he said: "Well, it depends on the emperor's holy decision, and the Son of Heaven will decide right and wrong." What are you worried about, it's also in vain, our emperor, we are smart. It's smarter than we expected. ”

Listening to Liu Bowen's words and tasting the taste in the middle, Lu Chang said: "Brother Bowen, make it clear." ”

Song Lian on the side also said: "Please give me advice." ”

Seeing this, Liu Bowen no longer concealed it, got up slowly, and said: "Before the founding of the country, the emperor could only rely on the children of Huaixi to take the world, once the country was opened, the emperor was not the emperor of the Huaixi people, but the emperor of the people of the world." Such a simple truth, can the emperor not understand? ”

"Besides, if the whole dynasty is the Huaixi Party, then as the emperor of the world, can he be happy? Can he sit idly by? ”

At this time, Liu Bowen finally said what he really thought in his heart.

No matter how Li Shanchang and Qi Heng fought, in the final analysis, they were all members of the Huaixi faction.

If this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and all the officials in the world are Huaixi people, it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to accept it.

Therefore, he, Liu Bowen, is waiting.

When Zhu Yuanzhang can no longer accept the current situation, when the time comes, it will be time for him Liu Bowen to come out.

Listening to Liu Bowen's words, although Liu Bowen did not analyze the two of them as clearly, these two were also smart people, and they immediately heard Liu Bowen's words.

For a moment, they all said excitedly: "Yes! ”

Seeing the expressions of these two people, Liu Bowen seemed to be very proud of this, and his mouth was a little unbearable at this time.

said: "The annual salary of the Korean Gong Li Shanchang is 4,000 dans, and I, only 200 dans, dare to ask the two, what does this mean?" ”

Seeing Liu Bowen say this so proudly, Lu Chang couldn't help but say: "This represents the honor of Li Shanchang, far above you Liu Bowen." ”

Listening to Lu Chang's words, Liu Bowen couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, yes, this is natural." However, can it also be said that my danger is one-twentieth that of Lee Sang-kook? ”

As soon as Liu Bowen said this, Lu Chang and Song Lian immediately burst into laughter.

But while this is funny, it also makes a lot of sense.

This is the case with things in this world, and many things cannot be taken at face value.

Today's Li Shanchang looks extremely honorable, but what about the future.

If he Li Shanchang can't toss Qi Heng, it's okay, the danger is still on Qi Heng's body.

But if it's too much to toss.

At that time, what would Zhu Yuanzhang think.

He Li Shanchang has tossed Qi Heng, what if one day he targets him Zhu Yuanzhang?

When the time comes, the fact that he Li Shanchang once betrayed Zhu Yuanzhang will be like a thorn, and it will be deeper and deeper in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang uprooted them!

This is the advantage of reading people.

They can't beat the generals in war, and they can't compare to them for meritorious service.

However, the history books they have read have allowed them to see the world more clearly.

At the same time, I also understand the profession of the emperor.

The biographies of those emperors of all dynasties are not like a model for an exam, placed in front of them.

And how to get the emperor is the question of this exam.

From the biographies of the emperors of all dynasties, they can find the correct answer.

The three of them worked hard with a few cups of tea, and they gave the long-term strategy of their officials in eastern Zhejiang in the future.

Do not participate in partisanship.

Honestly accept the situation that seems bad now.

Wait patiently.

Wait until Zhu Yuanzhang, the big tree, stands behind them.

When the time comes, with the support of the emperor, or a founding emperor with supreme authority, what else can't be done?

For a moment, all three of them laughed.

It's unpleasant.

But just when everyone was laughing, Liu Bowen coughed fiercely because he was too excited.

As the cough became more and more serious, Liu Lian, who was guarding outside, also heard the movement, and hurriedly ran in and helped Liu Bowen up.

"Father! Quick, you have a cup of tea. ”

But Liu Bowen waved his hand.

Seeing this situation, Lu Chang and Song Lian on the side immediately got up with interest.

As a literati and a person of officialdom, they all understood that they could not embarrass their masters here at this time, and they should not continue to disturb here, so they got up one after another.

"Brother Berwyn, please rest in peace, I'll take my leave."

Liu Bowen, who heard this, hurriedly waved his hand.

With the departure of Lu Chang and Song Lian, Liu Bowen's cough became more and more serious, until blood coughed up on the handkerchief in his hand.

Liu Lian, who saw this scene, immediately glared and exclaimed, "Father! ”

But Liu Bowen waved his hand, signaling him not to be impatient.

When his cough gradually improved, Liu Bowen looked at the blood on his handkerchief and gradually became a little distracted.

Something seems to have come to mind.

This cough is his old problem, and he knows it himself.

However, he knew it, but others didn't.

Night.

Liu Bowen's bedroom.

Liu Bowen's subordinate Xiao Liuzi walked in with a bowl of medicinal soup and said, "Master, you can use it quickly, it will be cold later." ”

But Liu Bowen said: "Okay, I know, let's put it there." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Liuzi thought about it and put it on the table.

Until Xiao Liuzi left, Liu Lian hurriedly walked over and brought the medicinal soup.

Liu Bowen looked at the medicinal soup in Liu Lian's hand, but said, "Pour it." ”

Liu Lian was stunned when he heard this: "Father, why did you have to fall?" Your illness is so severe, you need to drink medicine. ”

But Liu Bowen insisted: "It's down." ”

Seeing this, Liu Lian had no choice but to follow Liu Bowen's words and pour the medicinal soup in his hand into the bucket on the side.

After pouring it, Liu Lian said to Liu Bowen: "Father, you are so seriously ill now, and you don't drink medicine, don't go to tomorrow's court meeting, let me report for you." ”

But Liu Bowen waved his hand again and said, "No." ”

Seeing Liu Bowen insisting so much, Liu Lian couldn't help but worry.

But Liu Bowen is more like his father, and he himself is cowardly by nature, where did he praise him.

can only stand helplessly and wait.

Outside.

After Xiao Liuzi left, he hid at the door and secretly listened to the movements in the house.

Although he didn't hear any useful news, he still wrote down all the things he heard into a note, came to a wall in the backyard of Liu Bowen's mansion, and knocked it three times.

Soon, a figure rolled in through the wall.

Xiao Liuzi handed the note to the man, and after whispering some things, he turned around and went back to his room.

And the person who came in over the wall quickly disappeared.

General's Palace.

The door plaque at the entrance of the palace has not had time to be replaced with the door plaque of the palace because the time is too short.

The person who had just appeared in Liu Bowen's mansion came to Qi Heng's mansion at this moment.

When entering the door of Qi Heng's study through a special passage, Chen Du saw it and stepped forward to communicate with him.

After the note and the account were all told to Chen Du, the man disappeared again.

And Chen Du walked into Qi Heng's study.

"My lord, there's news from Liu's mansion."

Qi Heng nodded and said, "Speak." ”

The news said that Liu Bowen received Lu Chang and Song Lian in the mansion today, and they talked for a long time during the period, and there were bursts of laughter, but with the recurrence of Liu Bowen's old disease, it was interrupted. When he went to deliver the medicine in the evening, he overheard that Liu Bowen did not drink the medicinal soup, and refused Liu Lian's request to report for him. ”

Listening to Chen Du's words, Qi Heng raised his head with all his thoughts.

After thinking about it carefully, Qi Heng immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Don't drink medicine when you're sick.

Don't report illness yet, insist on going to court.

"Liu Bowen's old illness has really recurred?"

Hearing Qi Heng's inquiry, Chen Du immediately handed over the note in his hand and said, "It said that I saw Liu Bowen coughing up blood with my own eyes." ”

Qi Heng took the note, and when he saw the content on it, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Judging from coughing up blood, this old disease should be real, and coughing up blood is also real.

So why not drink the medicine?

Is there anything you have to do if you are not well?

The next day, I could not have gone to the court meeting, but I insisted.

It seems that there should be something more important than the condition.

It must also be in poor condition to do it.

Combined with Liu Bowen's current situation and the situation in the court, gradually, Qi Heng almost understood Liu Bowen's thoughts.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he shook his head and smiled.

Just when Qi Heng was about to pick up the book again to read, Chen Du on the side said, "My lord, what kind of tricks does this Liu Bowen want to do?" ”

Hearing Chen Du's words, Qi Heng's brows that had just stretched furrowed furrowed again.

But in an instant, he stretched again, and then said without moving: "Chen Du, you have been very studious recently." ”

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Chen Du was stunned for a moment, but then immediately showed a shocked expression, knelt in front of Qi Heng and kowtowed: "My lord, my subordinates have lost their words, and I ask my lord to punish him." ”

In fact, holding the book in his hand, he looked at Chen Du, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Get up, you should know, I will tell you, don't ask nonsense in the future, go down." ”

Hearing this, Chen Du breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates retire." ”

After saying that, he got up and bowed down and retreated.

Inside the house.

Qi Heng looked at Chen Du's retreating back, but his eyes gradually narrowed.

Late at night.

Saren, who hadn't appeared beside Qi Heng for a long time, took advantage of the middle of the night to sneak into Qi Heng's room.

Chen Du, on the other hand, was ordered by Qi Heng to do other things.

After talking with Qi Heng for half an hour, Saren walked out of the room again and disappeared into the night.
