Chapter 295: Good Chief, You're Too Old... Lao Cheng is serious
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang, who bowed down and saluted, squinted slightly, and said:
"Good elder, we know that you are old and serious."
"It's just that now, our Ming Dynasty is changing all the time, you have to be clear, just steady, you can't do everything in detail."
"We have sent Fu Youde to lead an army of 100,000 to the southwest to sit in the town, in order to return to the so-called land change."
"It's just that the southwest region is too far away, if it's still as you said, plan and decide, then what if the time comes to delay the right thing?"
"Hepu County in the southwest is not only about the livelihood of the people in the southwest, but also about the success or failure of our Ming Dynasty."
"Besides, Hepu County now has Li Jin sitting there, if something really goes wrong, we will never let him go, you can rest assured of this."
Li Shanchang saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had been insinuating that he was old, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
Now he is indeed old, but he is only in his sixties, and how many prime ministers have been active in the court until seventy throughout the ages?
There are countless of them, and Li Shanchang feels that he can work for another ten years, where do he need to retire?
After thinking about it, Li Shanchang replied again:
"What the superior said is reasonable, but the minister has not considered it."
"If it weren't for the reminder from the superiors, the minister almost made a big mistake, and I implore the superiors to agree to open the sea in Hepu County for the overall situation."
Li Shanchang is very good at this point, and he can raise an objection to Zhu Yuanzhang once or twice, but when Zhu Yuanzhang makes up his mind, Li Shanchang will immediately shut up when he understands current affairs.
has followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world for so many years, how can he not know Zhu Yuanzhang's temper?
This is the reason why he Li Shanchang can be named the first hero of the founding of the country.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Shanchang was soft, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said:
"Since there is no objection, then the matter is decided."
"Immediately send an edict to let Li Jin, the prefect of Qinzhou, be responsible for rebuilding the port in Hepu County, and after the port reconstruction is completed, it will be the time for Hepu County to reopen the sea."
"I hope Li Jin will make persistent efforts, work political affairs, and don't let us down."
With the fall of Zhu Yuanzhang's will, today's early dynasty is also coming to an end.
In fact, Li Shanchang didn't understand that the so-called reason for the opening of the sea in Hepu County was not at all to change the land and return to the stream, after all, the 100,000 army was pressing, as long as those Tusi were not fools, who would dare to touch the mold at this time?
The reason for opening the sea is nothing more than to brush up on the political achievements of that person, and when the port of Hepu County is completed and opened to the sea, it will be the time for that person to return.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xiaohuangmen to call Hu Weiyong to the upper study.
Li Shanchang naturally noticed this scene, he was angry in his heart, but he was helpless.
After all, the two who came to this point from the original master and apprentice, although Zhu Yuanzhang provoked them, but the bigger reason is naturally power and desire.
Since Hu Weiyong entered Zhongshu Province, he has been like a fish in water, and with the support of himself and Zhu Yuanzhang behind him, it can be said that he has soared.
In less than a year, Hu Weiyong has climbed to the position of participating in politics in Zhongshu Province, and he is only one step away from the prime minister of Zhongshu Province.
It can be said that the power is in hand.
The current Zhongshu Province can be described as very strange, although Li Shanchang is the prime minister, above one person, and below ten thousand.
But he is only a right prime minister, and the more noble left prime minister is not a literati at all, but a martial artist.
This martial artist is Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted general, Ming Wei Guogong, Xu Da.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a military department and an inspectorate for this purpose in order to balance the civil and military forces.
The Ministry of War naturally wants to restrict the rights of military generals, while the Inspectorate suppresses military generals so that they dare not be too arrogant.
As long as he, Zhu Yuanzhang, has the inspectorate, he can grab the pigtails of these generals and clean them up anytime and anywhere.
What's more, the person these generals hate is not him Zhu Yuanzhang, but Liu Bowen, who is considered to be the imperial history of Zuodu, who often makes small reports.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to worry about the excessive power of civil officials, actually thought of a way to let the military general serve as the prime minister of Zuo.
In this way, there are checks and balances between the civil and military forces, although Li Shanchang has the right to deal with the government, but he is not the head of the civil minister, the head of the civil minister is a martial artist, this strange phenomenon is the idea of Zhu Yuanzhang's genius.
Now that Hu Weiyong wants to rise, he can only squeeze himself out.
Everyone knows that Xu Da must have to do it for a long time in the position of Prime Minister Zuo, unless Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want him to do it anymore, or Xu Da really can't go to court, so it is possible to retreat.
The military general serving as the prime minister of Zuo is a national policy in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and it will not be changed easily, at least not in the short term.
Therefore, the current tension between Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong is likely to be a bureau designed by Zhu Yuanzhang with the intention of splitting the entire Huaixi group.
Li Shanchang sighed in his heart, he has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for so long, and Li Shanchang can guess Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
It's just that even if he guessed, Li Shanchang couldn't do anything.
It is impossible for him to go to Hu Weiyong to make peace, because that will touch Zhu Yuanzhang's interests, and at that time, Li Shanchang will be more dangerous.
But it is not so easy to let Li Shanchang sit still and obediently resign from his position as prime minister.
Li Shanchang looked coldly at the back of Hu Weiyong leaving, thinking about his plan in his heart.
