Chapter 33: Li Shanchang's Resentment

Lu Xian asked with a sneer, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can this sea trade really make money?" ”

The prince was stunned, he didn't expect Lu Xian to ask like this. said: "I don't know this, you can go and ask He Xi?" He Xi said that he could make money. But I don't know exactly how to make it. ”

Lu Xian didn't get a positive answer. But I also heard that the prince has room for this, not that this is not profitable. Lu Xian secretly said in his heart: "It's time for me to meet some of my brothers-in-law." ”

A drinking feast dispersed.

The prince specially sent Li Qi out of the door. said: "Say hello to Han Guogong on my behalf, and ask Han Guogong for some advice on today's matter." Solve the doubts for future generations. ”

When the prince said this, it was almost explicit, how could Li Qi not understand.

Li Qi said: "Please rest assured, the prince, I will definitely consult my father about this matter." ”

------

Li Qi returned to the Han-Guogong Mansion and washed his face with cold water first. Drain the smell of alcohol, refresh yourself, and ask your family. said, "Has my father ever rested?" ”

The people around him replied: "Guogong said, let Gongzi come back to see him." ”

Li Qi immediately understood that his father also felt that the prince must have a deep meaning. Now I will ask this deep meaning again.

Li Qi immediately went to see Li Shanchang. He told him everything about today.

Li Shanchang is now in his seventies. Although he has gray hair and has been idle for more than ten years, he is still quick to think, after Li Qi finished speaking, Li Shanchang immediately said: "This is not what Your Majesty meant. Your Majesty is strong, such a means. Not something Your Majesty could have come up with. But Your Majesty is also old and soft-hearted, more than ten years ago, Your Majesty would never let the prince do such useless work. ”

Li Qi said: "Father, I don't understand some things today. Is it really possible to make money on things at sea? If you can make money. Why did the prince say it to us? Want us to join? ”

Li Shanchang said: "Yes, my son has made great progress. There is no such thing as a vain lunch. Especially the Zhu family's rice, there is no food in vain. In the world, there are no people who can take advantage of Zhu Chongba, but there has not yet appeared. If you only look at the immediate benefits. I don't know how I died. ”

Li Qi said: "Then what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Li Shanchang said: "Your Majesty wants to release the military power with a glass of wine. And the money on the sea trade is this glass of wine. It's just that this thing can't be done with me? ”

Li Qi said: "Father, Your Majesty is in full swing, why do we have to go against Your Majesty?" Since Your Majesty has given face, how can we not take it, this is to evil Your Majesty. ”

Li Shanchang said: "What position do I hold in the DPRK? ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "My father has long been out of the imperial court. It's just an idle job. ”

Li Shanchang said: "That's right. Your Majesty wants to release my rights, and I have no rights to release them? What do you say I should do? ”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, feeling that Li Shanchang was not right, but he couldn't point out what was wrong for a while.

Because what Li Shanchang said was the truth.

He has let go of all power. He has no official position on him. There is no such thing as power to be conceded at all.

But Li Shanchang obviously distorted one thing, not only official positions can represent power. Li Shanchang used his influence to maintain the Huaixi Group. Very simply, Li Shanchang's qualifications can convince many Huaixi generals.

Just think about it. Arrogant soldiers, arrogant. Can they be harmonious with each other? It's a joke. If you subdivide it. Among the Huaixi generals, there are many factions. followed Zhu Yuanzhang step by step from the grassroots level. Xu Da, Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Mu Ying, etc. In fact, Lu Zhongheng is also so. It's just that he's a political fool. I don't know whose team to stand on.

He fled with his own people. The landlords in Huaixi are curious, the Feng brothers, the Wu brothers, the Geng family uncles and nephews, and so on.

There is a series of Chaohu Lake, as I said before.

There is a series of generals, such as Fu Youde. And among the generals, it can be subdivided. Generals from different camps who defected.

Wait a minute.

If all the Huaixi people among the nobles are gathered together, it is a big force that makes Zhu Yuanzhang fearful. But subdivide the words. These Huaixi people can play dog brains themselves. Today's battlefield, the fierce generals who kill in and out. Except for a few. Who serves whom?

can integrate these people, Zhu Yuanzhang is one, Xu Da is one, and Li Shanchang is one.

As mentioned earlier, Xu Da has long stopped engaging in gangs. even used generals who were not all the way to show that they were selfless.

But Lee Shan-chang is different.

Li Shanchang has a hatred for Zhu Yuanzhang.

This hatred is not shallow.

Mainly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, on the one hand, I praised my Xiao He, and on the other hand, I let me go to the elderly. It has been raised for more than ten years, and it has been dying of old age until now. Li Shanchang regarded himself as the first hero of the founding of the country, and Zhu Chongba did not have him Li Shanchang, introducing talents, running places, and transporting grain and grass. He Zhu Chongba can have today.

Zhu Yuanzhang praised him as Xiao He. But in Li Shanchang's view, he is not Xiao He, but a combination of Xiao He and Zhang Liang. Many of the things Li Shanchang has done are by no means simply comparable to Xiao He. Many people compare Liu Bowen to him. But in Li Shanchang's opinion, Liu Bowen is a fart.

That's it.

But Hu Weiyong's case made Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang irreconcilable.

Hu Weiyong is Li Shanchang's old department.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with Hu Weiyong, and Li Shanchang didn't feel much of it. After all, although Hu Weiyong is Li Shanchang's old department. But people go to tea and cool, Hu Weiyong is ambitious, and he may not be very respectful to Li Shanchang, an old superior.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the topic and used Hu Weiyong as an excuse to carry out a purge of the imperial court, which Li Shanchang could not bear.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang killed most of them, it is difficult to say that it is the Hu Party, but more of the Li Party, that's right, it is Li Shanchang's old department, Li Shanchang's influence. Lee Shanchang's wings.

This made Li Shanchang particularly uncomfortable.

He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was pressing him step by step. Only then did Li Shanchang give full play to his advantages and find a way to hold together. so that Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to act rashly.

Of course, Li Shanchang himself has a big problem.

Li Shanchang was born as a small official, and he is somewhat lacking in cultivation. did not do a good job in the way of getting along with monarchs and ministers, and even started troops with Zhu Yuanzhang from the end of the micro, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's embarrassed side. Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang, now he is the supreme in the world. Li Shanchang was respectful on the surface, but in his heart, he actually regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as Zhu Chongba, who had only thousands of soldiers and no more than one county.

And Li Shan has a good face.

When I was on the stage, the natural scenery was beautiful. But after stepping down, he still wanted to do so. After all, not everyone can withstand the change of falling from a height.

Li Shanchang couldn't bear it.

So he still wants to be beautiful, what should he do?

What kind of old leader can make the people below respectful. That is the old leader who can give full play to his residual heat. An old leader who can do things. Otherwise, if you are prominent back then, one year or two later, and the people below are still respectful, ten or eight years later, you go and see, what is it like?

After all, Li Shanchang is highly respected. A lot of things, in a sentence here in Li Shanchang.

In Lee's view, this is a very common thing. It's just a matter of saying a few words for the old ministry and doing a favor to the villagers.

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this is unbearable. Zhu Yuanzhang once drove Li Shanchang back to Fengyang. just wants to cut off Li Shanchang's influence on the imperial court. But it turned out that it couldn't be cut. The main reason is that Li Shanchang doesn't want to.

The same is true today. What does Zhu Yuanzhang want. Li Shanchang knows.

Li Shanchang can say to the outside world that he is sick, and he has been ill for more than ten years, and he has closed his door. Where you can't return, you can't let it, but you just don't want to.

Seeing that his son didn't speak, Li Shanchang said; "Unless I die, Your Majesty will not be reassured. We have His Majesty's money, but we can't do His Majesty's things. That's the way to die. ”

Li Qi said: "Then how to deal with this matter? ”

Li Shanchang was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard someone outside: "Guogong, Gongzi, Hou Ye Lu has arrived." ”

This Hou Ye Lu is naturally Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an. Li Qi immediately added: "Today, Lu Xian is also there. ”

Li Shanchang nodded and said, "Please let him in." ”
