Listening to Liu Lian's words, Liu Bowen's mind was not on this.

Who is he Yang Xian?

It is now the descendant of his eastern Zhejiang faction!

It's the official next to him Liu Bowen!

Originally, according to Liu Bowen's idea, as long as Yang Xian could sit firmly as the first person to govern the country, he would be able to follow the spring breeze of the founding of the country.

In this way, it has become a golden sign of his eastern Zhejiang faction.

Especially he, Liu Bowen, is now also in charge of the Hanlin Academy,

His subordinates are all talented.

Under such circumstances, he, Liu Bowen, is still in control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and with these two places, he can quickly cultivate the descendants of his eastern Zhejiang faction.

If everything goes according to his plan, there will naturally be no problems.

But now, Yang Xian used such inhumane torture in Yangzhou!

This kind of torture may have no effect on others, but it has a great impact on them, who are scholars and scholars in their careers!

Let others know that the cadres of his eastern Zhejiang faction are so inhumane, how can this be spread out.

Where do they start with the moral cultivation they hold on to?

However, Liu Bowen still cautiously asked: "Lian'er, is this true?" Where did you find out? ”

Liu Lian immediately said: "Yang Xian's plea has been submitted to Zhongshu Province, and Huang Shenzhi, who is divided into folds, told his son personally. By the way, there is also a letter from Yang Xian to his father. ”

After speaking, he handed over Yang Xian's handwritten letter.

And Liu Bowen took the letter and checked it for the first time.

"Grace Master."

"Song Shanyan is greedy for no holy grace, bullying the king and harming the people, how can students tolerate it, besides, the emperor has always hated corrupt officials and corrupt officials to the marrow, and before leaving, he also wrote a sixteen-character gift for the students.

The student knew that this might be inappropriate, and submitted a plea to the court. At this point, the students can only hope that the teacher will inquire and beg the teacher to deal with it. ”

After reading Yang Xian's letter, Liu Bowen suddenly fell silent.

Liu Lian, who was on the side, looked at Liu Bowen and suddenly fell silent, and couldn't help asking, "Father, why don't you speak?" Now that Yang Xian has done this, it has also caused an uproar in the city, and his father has made plans early. ”

Listening to Liu Lian's words, Liu Bowen's face was as usual, and he said, "Make a plan? What are you going to do? We all underestimated this Yang Xianna. ”

Seeing Liu Bowen say this, Liu Lian's face suddenly showed a look of doubt.

"Why did my father say that?"

Liu Bowen let out a long sigh and said, "Yang Xian is gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he hides a cool heart. You see, how smart he is, he knows the temperament of our Emperor Zhu, and he will never be soft on corrupt officials. And after killing a corrupt official, he did not report his merits to the court but to the emperor. ”

"Compared to this student, I'm ashamed to be a master."

Although Liu Bowen was surprised by what Liu Lian said just now, he was also worried about the reputation of the Zhedong faction.

After all, compared with others, today's Zhedong faction can only take advantage of this reputation.

In the future, he wants to attract more readers to join.

The Wenchen forces in this court, that Li Shanchang is famous in Sun Mountain after all, in contrast, the scholars are more cordial to these celebrities of their Zhedong faction.

However, at this point, he was helpless.

This reputation has been affected, and he sighs in vain.

However, although his reputation was affected, in the eyes of him Liu Bowen, this Yang Xian's approach was very much in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

Perhaps he Yang Xian did this in order to cater to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Instead of being punished, they will be rewarded.

It's just that now Yang Xian is doing this, which also makes Liu Bowen see Yang Xian's thoughts.

He doesn't seem to be willing to move forward step by step according to the career secretly planned for him by the Zhedong faction.

Instead, I want to get close to Zhu Yuanzhang and be Zhu Yuanzhang's close person, so as to speed up my pace in the official career.

This also gave Liu Bowen a wake-up call.

However, Liu Bowen sighed, but Liu Lian on the side said: "Father, what should we do now?" ”

Listening to Liu Lian's words, Liu Bowen's expression gradually converged, and then immediately said: "I want to enter the palace immediately, I don't have time to simulate, you draft a fold for me, and participate in Yang Xian, to the effect that the minister thinks that although the master Bo is guilty, there is no capital crime for only 200 catties of rice seeds." ”

"When he was a law, he should be exiled from his post, but the prefect Yang Xian cut it first and then played it, privately beheaded the officials of my court, and also skinned them into bags, deterring subordinates and threatening the Quartet. The minister requested that Yang Xian be investigated and dealt with immediately and handed over to the Criminal Department for strict handling. ”

Speaking of this, after careful consideration for a while, Liu Bowen immediately added another sentence, and said: "And ask the court ministers to recommend the crime of carelessness." That's the idea, you think about it in the text, and I'll look back. ”

After speaking, Liu Bowen made a gesture to enter the palace.

And Liu Lian on the side was different from what he thought.

Yang Xian is his own person after all.

"Father, didn't you hurt Yang Xian when you went up with this twist?"

But Liu Bowen said slowly: "I'm not harming him, maybe I'm saving him." Look at his madness in Yangzhou now, in order to please the holy favor, he will do almost everything. According to my prediction this time, the emperor will inevitably be gracious to him, wouldn't it have boosted his arrogance even more? ”

"In addition, he is the prefect in Yangzhou City, and no one can control him, and I am afraid that his arrogance will become more and more intense."

"It's good if he can be transferred back this time, if not, I expect him to be buried in Yangzhou City!"

At this point, Liu Bowen stopped talking.

Although Yang Xian's move was suspected of jumping over the Zhedong faction and Liu Bowen to curry favor with Zhu Yuanzhang, he was a little displeased.

But after all, Yang Xian is his own disciple, and he is the mainstay of his eastern Zhejiang faction in the future.

To be saved, or to be saved.

Immediately, Liu Bowen went out and headed towards the palace.

Outside Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study.

Liu Bowen, who had just come here, heard bursts of laughter coming from the imperial study.

Liu Bowen knew that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter.

But I don't know what makes him so happy.

Inside the Imperial Study.

After Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, he asked Li Shanchang in front of him: "Shanchang, Yang Xianzhen skinned that goods?" ”

Li Shanchang nodded firmly and said, "Really! And it stands at the entrance of the ya, so that every official can see it when he enters and exits every day. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "We really didn't expect it, I didn't expect Yang Xian to be a cadre!" Govern Yangzhou, control his subordinates, and use thunderbolt means! Good! All right! ”

Li Shanchang, who was opposite, was not surprised to see Zhu Yuanzhang so happy.

Before he came, he guessed that this move, which seemed a little inappropriate to him, could win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor.

As for this person who seemed to be a political enemy, Li Shanchang did not deliberately belittle and ridicule, but said flatteringly: "Yes, Yang Xian's talent is really good, he is a cadre, a capable minister." ”

Just as the two were talking, Erhu outside the door suddenly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Zhongcheng is here." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said happily: "Quick, let him in." ”

And as Liu Bowen walked in, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately beckoned to him cordially and said, "Bowen, come on, come on, you came just in time." ”

When Liu Bowen came to Zhu Yuanzhang to bow his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask: "Do you know about Yang Xian?" ”

Hearing this, he also heard something about what Zhu Yuanzhang had just said to Li Shanchang, so he said, "Minister, I just knew." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Ouch, you can kill us." Tell me, on this principle, you Hanlin Academy should be some elegant people, why is Yang Xian more ruthless than the criminal department's servants? ”

In this regard, Liu Bowen could only say: "Minister, I don't know. ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We will be impressed by your Hanlin Academy in the future." In your literati pile, there can be a cadre like Yang Xian, this is like hiding a needle in cotton, Hanlin Academy is cotton, and Yang Xian is the needle! This needle, if it doesn't come out, it will hit the nail on the head! ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, Liu Bowen was really flattered.

Hurriedly praised: "The emperor will see you!" ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to intend to end like this, and continued to praise: "Yang Xian is your student, right?" You've taught a good student! I also recommended a good prefect to us! We're going to reward you heavily! ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen was a little uncertain.

Originally, he wanted to sell himself and find a way to get Yang Xian back before he had an accident, but he never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would say this and be so happy.

Now that I have to reward myself, if I go to the excerpt to participate in Yang Xian again, wouldn't I give Zhu Yuanzhang a disobedience in front of him?

For a while, Liu Bowen was a little embarrassed.

However, he still said: "This, this is all the emperor's grace!" ”

With Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, Liu Bowen couldn't say anything more, so he had to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang for a few words and left.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Looking at the backs of Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang leaving, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth turned up slightly.

"Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen, I hope you can understand our thoughts."

As he spoke, he casually threw the fold in his hand aside.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he wanted to train Liu Bowen as his confidant.

However, if you want to become the emperor's close vassals and confidants, you must be a lonely minister!

You can't choose between the emperor and your own power.

can only regard his Zhu Yuanzhang's order as a holy order of heavenly grace and resolutely implement it.

You can't be swayed by the gains and losses of your own faction.

Yang Xian did a good job of this.

Yang Xian's doing so was unpleasant, even disgusting, to those officials and colleagues.

However, it is in the interests of Zhu Yuanzhang.

A wake-up call was given to officials across the country.

However, even so, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, would not praise a person so much.

The reason why he is so abnormal today and praises a person to the sky is the reason why he Liu Bowen.

He just wants Liu Bowen to see clearly and taste the right taste.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that Liu Bowen at this time was already immersed in the dream of establishing a faction in eastern Zhejiang, and he didn't have half a taste for Zhu Yuanzhang's mention today.

In the study room of Hallym Temple.

Liu Bowen walked in slowly.

Seeing Liu Bowen returning, Liu Lian immediately took out the fold he had drawn up and said, "Father, my son has prepared the fold, please take a look." ”

Listening to Liu Lian's words, Liu Bowen said, "Burn it." ”

Liu Lian was stunned: "You don't join Yang Xian anymore?" ”

Liu Bowen shook his head and said, "I can't participate, the emperor likes him, and the emperor and him are heart-to-heart." ”

Liu Lian said: "But father, you said before that Yang Xian would be buried in Yangzhou if he continued like this." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bowen could only sigh and say: "Now it can only depend on his Yang Xian's life, whether he can get lost and wake up." ”

After that, he never mentioned it again.

Inside the Imperial Study.

After Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen left, Qi Heng was summoned again.

The Privy Council's recent use of troops throughout the country was discussed.

However, after saying this, when the two were chatting, Zhu Yuanzhang talked about Yang Xian in Yangzhou from the beginning of the chat.

Since Qi Heng entered the Privy Council, Zhu Yuanzhang basically did not discuss political affairs with him again.

The reason is simple.

I just don't want him to be too involved in government affairs.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that Qi Heng was a political wizard, and he was always itching in his heart, and he wanted to learn from him, but he couldn't save face.

So I wanted to learn something from Qi Heng's mouth through small talk.

Qi Heng actually knows this in his heart.

But he is open-minded, and naturally there is nothing he can't say.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang talking about Yang Xian, Qi Heng talked about it, but although it was about Yang Xian, it was about the way of governance.

"Does the emperor think that Yang Xian's move is good or bad for the court?"

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "How can this still be a bad thing?" That Song Shanyan was corrupt and perverted the law, and he actually corrupted the court's grace to the people of Yangzhou City, how could he deter hundreds of officials if he didn't kill such a person? Yang Xian skinned that person into a bag and hung it at the entrance of the yamen to warn the entry and exit of hundreds of officials, isn't it just in harmony with public opinion? ”

"At the beginning, we also dealt with the corrupt people in the army, and it was because of this that there was a lot less corruption in the army."

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang said this firmly, there was still a hint of seeking advice in his tone.

After all, he and Qi Heng are chatting here, not to compete for right and wrong, but to learn.

And Qi Hengan sat on the chair and said slowly: "It is natural that the emperor has done something effective in the army, but has the emperor ever thought that governing the country is different from governing the army, governing the army, the army is around, you know whether it is good or bad." You severely punished the corrupt man, and the officers were frightened, so naturally they did not dare to commit it again. ”

"But what about governance? My Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and it takes more than half a month to come to the capital from the farthest place. I have so many provinces, state capitals, and counties and towns below. Your Majesty, can you see it with your eyes? ”

"Since you can't see it, how can the emperor know that it's a good thing? Besides, the emperor was fighting the world at that time, and he should use heavy codes in troubled times, which is understandable, but now, it is to rule the world. ”

"Your Majesty, my brother will make a bet with you, believe it or not, as soon as the document of your commendation for Yang Xian in Yangzhou arrives, this matter will inevitably spread throughout the country, and when the time comes, things like this will emerge one after another, only what you can't think of, nothing that won't appear. Things that are more cruel than Yang Xian's methods will be one after another. Why, because they all know that our emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a person who is extremely strict with the methods of corrupt people, as long as he uses pain, he will definitely be able to obtain the emperor's holy grace. ”

"When the time comes, let alone peeling the skin, cutting the bones, Ling Chi, chopping people into meat puree, what kind of punishment is there for the basin, in such a world, what will not appear. But at that time, the emperor will become famous, and the history books will not only record your merits in subduing the Han family, but also render you as a brutal monarch, and at the same time, it will also record the Ming Dynasty under your rule, and there will be a lot of punishments, just like when it comes to the punishment of the basin, people will think of Daji. ”

"When the time comes, as soon as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty is mentioned, the students and scholars will immediately think of some cruel punishment, such as this fur peeling, and then it will be the emperor's feat, and your merits will be passed down to eternity."

When he said this, Qi Heng didn't forget to ridicule Zhu Yuanzhang a few words.
