But Liu Bowen immediately interrupted his words, and said earnestly: "The emperor is using you as a whip to spur Li Shanchang, not to overturn him. At least not right now. ”

I have to say that although Liu Bowen was not at the scene, from the information revealed now, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were guessed.

However, Yang Xian was not willing to do so.

He was originally just an unknown bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and then got the opportunity to serve as the prefect in Yangzhou, and now he has won the position of Pingzhang political affairs in Zhongshu Province in one fell swoop.

Immediately, he said to Liu Bowen: "Teacher, students may not say it, but there have been rumors inside and outside the capital." It is said that there are Huaixi Party and Zhedong Party in the imperial court, the leader of the former is Li Xiangguo, and the core of the latter is your teacher. ”

But Liu Bowen was dismissive of this and said: "Yang Xian, rumors stop at the wise, and the wise don't believe the rumors." I don't know if there is a Huaixi Party in the court, but I am sure that there is no Zhedong Party in the court. ”

As for how to run the faction in eastern Zhejiang in the future, Liu Bowen has already made a plan in his heart.

That is, with the help of Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, he will continue to be strong.

At the same time, isolated from Huaixi Li Shanchang and Qi Heng, sit back and watch them fight each other, and then replace them.

Therefore, now that he wants to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, then the name of the Zhedong Party must not be on his head Liu Bowen, at least he can't do it.

After all, what does Zhu Yuanzhang want?

It's a lonely minister!

Now that their power is weak, they naturally won't be cared about by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But once Zhu Yuanzhang discovers that they have the ability to confront Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang will understand that their power is no longer comparable to the past.

Therefore, no matter what Yang Xian says, he, Liu Bowen, will never change his mind.

But Yang Xian was still a little unwilling to persuade him: "However, if the Huaixi Party insists that you are the Zhedong Party, why should you avoid it?" Because there is no Zhedong Party, how can the Huaixi Party come from. Even if they are for the rationality of their own existence, they want to plant you a Zhedong Party! ”

Yang Xian's words were both in and out of his words, and he was persuading Liu Bowen to take this title, and then fight with Li Shanchang in the court.

In this regard, how could Liu Bowen not know, he could only say bitterly: "Yang Xian, from ancient times to the present, those who form a party and seize power can only bring disaster upon themselves in the end, especially now, there is a discerning saint monarch above our heads." ”

Although Liu Bowen was persuading Yang Xian not to fight.

But he never mentioned a word about his plan.

Although there is a master-apprentice relationship between them, in the final analysis, there is still a master-apprentice.

And after Liu Bowen finished speaking, Yang Xian always kept his face calm.

Apparently not willingly.

Seeing this, Liu Bowen couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Yang Xian, why, don't you want to be a grain on the ear of rice?" Think the grains are too small? ”

Yang Xian wanted to return to the court as soon as possible, and even promoted.

So he made the appearance that he wanted to be the emperor alone.

But by doing so, he was tantamount to betraying his Zhedong faction to a certain extent.

After all, many things were not what Liu Bowen asked him to do.

Now that Liu Bowen suddenly mentioned what he said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

After all, you should be at a loss.

However, did Liu Bowen really want to sarcasm him to his face?

Liu Bowen just used these words to mention Yang Xian, as for whether he can understand it, it's up to him.

As for him, Liu Bowen, he will never make his thoughts as clear as he told Lu Chang, Song Lian and others.

After all, Lu Chang and Song Lian are not the materials themselves to be the leaders of a party.

This is also an advantage and a disadvantage of these officials, who are scholars and self-proclaimed literati.

Don't say anything, guess and guess.

When Yang Xian saw this, he also knew that he could no longer persuade Liu Bowen, so he had to give up for the time being.

But his desire to fight has never been extinguished.

Early the next morning.

It was not yet dark.

Hu Weiyong took advantage of the period before the previous dynasty to come to Li Shanchang's mansion early and drank tea with Li Shanchang in the living room.

As a disciple of Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong has always been a talent that Zhu Yuanzhang relied on before Yang Xian returned to the capital.

But now, with the return of Yang Xian, he directly appointed the Pingzhang political affairs of Zhongshu Province, which completely opened up Hu Weiyong.

This can't help but make Hu Weiyong, a person who claims to be the top among the junior officials in the officialdom, have a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

Just as the two were drinking tea, Hu Weiyong said to Li Shanchang beside him: "Xiangguo, Yang Xian has long been Liu Bowen's protégé, and as soon as he left the palace, he went straight to Liu's mansion, and he didn't come out at dawn. ”

Hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Li Shanchang was not surprised, and continued to drink tea directly.

And Hu Weiyong continued: "My subordinates thought that the emperor placed Yang Xian in Zhongshu Province to let him contain Xiangguo. ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang said lightly: "I'm afraid it's more than that, Wei Yong, before Yang Xian came, you were the emperor's most admired talent, but now that he is here, you have to retreat." ”

Obviously, Hu Weiyong's careful thinking about Li Shanchang can also see it clearly.

Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, the leaders of the two factions, are not fuel-efficient lamps.

But Hu Weiyong, who heard this, was also a little depressed, and said: "Your subordinates are not afraid of him, don't look at him Yang Xian in Yangzhou City, but this is Zhongshu Province, everything is in the Pavilion, the land of the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, according to the subordinates, Yang Xian is still tender." As long as his subordinates make it difficult for him a little, he will have to plant! ”

These two junior talents are not convinced by anyone.

However, Li Shanchang said: "Don't make things difficult for others first, you have to let people show their ambitions first, and wait until the emperor's liking momentum has passed." The prince is always like this, first he likes me, then Liu Bowen, then you Hu Weiyong, and now it is Yang Xian's turn to be favored. Look, sooner or later, we'll have to be patient. ”

Li Shanchang, who was beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang, was actually not so worried in his heart.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is not so easy to guess, he Li Shanchang has followed Zhu Yuanzhang for more than ten years after all.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yang Xian to come to Zhongshu Province to do something, Li Shanchang knew very well in his heart.

It's just that when he Li Shanchang took care of everything, everyone felt that there was something difficult about it.

I think it's okay to change to anyone.

However, the difficulties and games are only understood by him, who is the right prime minister.

Moreover, Li Shanchang does not think that a mere Yang Xian can be better than himself.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all.

Didn't he, Yang Xian, want to rectify the rule of officials according to Zhu Yuanzhang's words?

Okay, I'll let you straighten it out.

I want to see what you are capable of as a doll who has just entered the official career, but has worked in Yangzhou for less than three years.

And that's not all.

His attitude has long been indicated.

Don't take the lead.

He Zhedong faction wants to take the lead, okay, give you a risk.

For so many years, only he, Li Shanchang, faced Qi Heng in the court alone, and he knew how much pressure there was.

Qi Heng's methods are amazing, making people confused at all.

Everyone still thinks it's good to deal with you.

Well, not only do I not object to the emergence of your Zhedong faction, but I also set up a platform for you.

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to hold Yang Xian, that's good, he Li Shanchang is on the side to cooperate with Zhu Yuanzhang's exercises.

What Zhu Yuanzhang said, he would never refute.

As for himself, he honestly manages the relationship between himself and the forces of the Huaixi faction.

When you have me and I have you between him and the Huaixi faction.

At that time, even those generals, those nobles will be towards Qi Heng in their hearts.

Think about it too.

To beat him Li Shanchang is to beat himself.

When the time comes, will you choose Qi Heng or him Li Shanchang?

Although he Li Shanchang has always been very wary of Liu Bowen's impact on his status, he cares about and fears the most, it's just Qi Heng!

Now he is honestly diving underwater, firmly controlling his advantage.

As long as the Huaixi faction can stand firmly by their side.

When he faced Qi Heng again, he wouldn't need to be so afraid.

It will not be like the previous incident in the court to discuss the Shandong Order, and he was beaten and had no power to fight back.

In general, his Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen's strategies are very similar.

When the king is eight.

Whoever likes to take the lead to compete with Qi Heng will go by himself.

Anyway, I'm scared of being beaten.

At the same time, Liu Bowen ran the eastern Zhejiang faction, and it was the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who wanted to win over.

wants to take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's power to completely help their eastern Zhejiang faction get a great development.

And Li Shanchang is different.

He also knows exactly where his advantage is now.

The reason why he has been able to suppress him Liu Bowen for so many years, just like his father beating his son, so that the other party has no power to fight back, what does he rely on?

It relied on the Huaixi faction behind him.

In his opinion, with these people, they can basically walk sideways in today's court.

However, Qi Heng's return made him aware of the sense of crisis.

Because the relationship between the Huaixi Party and Qi Heng is also very close.

Especially the giants in the army such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Tang He.

In addition, the other generals were also very convinced by Qi Heng, so that the advantage that originally belonged to him Li Shanchang was gone.

Therefore, now he has completely changed his strategy and began to deepen his relationship with the Huaixi Party.

What is the strongest relationship in the world?

That's how we are family.

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours.

My Li Shanchang's position is not guaranteed, and you all have to be deflated one by one.

When the time comes, are you still afraid that the people of his Huaixi party will not support him?

Of course, his Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen's thoughts are also very similar.

He would not say these words to Hu Weiyong either.

is still the same sentence, although it is a master and an apprentice, but who is the teacher and who is the apprentice, you have to weigh it well.

You have to firmly grasp your housekeeping skills.

Compared with these two old foxes, although Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian have extraordinary abilities and minds, they are much inferior in this overall situation after all.

I only take today's powerful official positions too seriously.

But I forgot that no matter what kind of official power or power, it is temporary.

When you don't have a presence in this position, the forces will push you down mercilessly.

After hearing Li Shanchang's words, although Hu Weiyong may not understand the deep meaning of the other party's words, his only advantage is that he knows how to be obedient.

On the contrary, Yang Xian is a little inferior in this regard.

Hu Weiyong respectfully said to Li Shanchang: "The subordinates may not have anything else, but some are patient. ”

Seeing this, Li Shanchang's face was full of relief, and he said: "I believe this, over the years, hundreds of steels have been refined into finger wrapping softness. Oh, by the way, there is one thing you have to be careful, Yang Xian is just a blue and white face, and Liu Bowen is the one who shakes the goose feather fan. ”

Hu Weiyong smiled and said: "Xiangguo Mingjian." However, his subordinates also heard some rumors that two parties had been formed in the DPRK and China, one was the Huaixi Party and the other was the Zhedong Party. ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang immediately sneered.

He muttered repeatedly: "Zhedong Party, Zhedong Party..... Hehehe, lift them up. ”

"Hmph, I know the emperor, and the only person he relies on the most can only be the children of Huaixi. Because the world is fought down by these brothers, in the final analysis, these Huaixi children are one family with the emperor. Although sometimes it is not a matter of looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and their own family, you can rest assured that the family is a family after all. ”

"Moreover, governing the country and defending the border is still inseparable from the Huaixi generals, don't look at the emperor sometimes reprimanding me a few words, what is conservative, what is inaction. But the emperor won't really guard against me, even if he didn't appoint me as the prime minister of Zuo, it seems that he is wary of me, but you must know that the emperor is actually not me, but Xiangquan! ”

"The emperor will not be afraid of my rebellion, because the world is what we fought together. Now that it's time to rebel when it's time to sit in the world and enjoy the blessings, isn't there something wrong with your brain? What the emperor is really worried about is that if the position of the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province is too powerful, he will be hollowed out of his authority as the emperor. ”

"I didn't figure it out at the time, but then I did. On the contrary, the emperor will always be wary of him Liu Bowen. ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's words, Hu Weiyong also said with a busy smile: "What Xiangguo said is that Xiangguo is loyal, and the emperor naturally believes it." And that Liu Bowen is arrogant, no matter how the emperor favors him, after all, he is not as kind as his own family. ”

As Hu Weiyong finished speaking, Li Shanchang's face became more and more solemn, and he said: "If you have to say that there is anyone in this court who can fight with the Huaixi faction, it is definitely not the Zhedong Party, but the upstart of Anfeng." ”

Li Shanchang's long voice also made Hu Weiyong feel good.

couldn't help it, the eyebrows were also solemn.

Outsiders may not know, but he Hu Weiyong is a close confidant of Li Shanchang, how can he not understand that Qi Heng's official report has turned the national officialdom upside down these days.

This is still the other party did not really go to fight.

The establishment of just a small official newspaper made them suffer a big loss.

If the backer really has the heart to participate in the affairs of the court, I am afraid that this means will be a thunderbolt.
