Chapter 453: Old Zhu Da Holds a Hongmen Banquet
"Hahahaha, what Mr. Liu said coincides with us!" When Lao Zhu heard this, he laughed loudly. Immediately, a monarch and a minister, on the basis of Zhu Biao's suggestions, perfected the treatment plan for the nobles little by little.
Zhu Su listened from the sidelines, and it could be said that he was secretly frightened. I'm afraid that Li Shanchang didn't expect that he thought that he had found a clever plan to show favor to both the civil and military sides, but this plan would become the grasp of Lao Zhu's rectification of the court.
It was used by Lao Zhu to govern Wuxun first, and then punish Wenchen.
After this set of operations, even if the court does not target him Li Shanchang, I am afraid that Li Shanchang will also offend both the civil and military sides at the same time, and he is not a person inside and outside.
The monarchs and ministers quickly agreed on a specific plan, and in a few days, they summoned the nobles to the palace to "drink tea". In the process, Lao Zhu received the news that the gathering of nobles in the Korean government had ended, and most of the nobles accepted Li Shanchang's proposal and agreed to exchange land and shop property with the court officials.
"Is there anyone who hasn't agreed to a replacement?" Lao Zhu asked.
"Your Majesty, General Feng did not agree. It is said that most of the land in his family has been returned to the imperial court, and there is no excess property to exchange. And ......," the brocade guard said.
"Oh, Feng Sheng." Lao Zhu replied lightly. Zhu Su heard it in his ears and remembered the meaningful glance that Feng Sheng threw at him that day. As a rare general with both civil and military skills among the nobles, if Feng Sheng does not pursue land and wealth, does he want to pursue fame in history? It seems that he is not a selfless person like Xu Da and Li Wenzhong.
I haven't had much contact, and everything is still unclear, so I can only hide this doubt in my heart for the time being.
"Only Feng Sheng and these few ...... Hmph, sure enough, they are all unscrupulous. Old Zhu snorted coldly. Erhu, you go, give a post to these guys in Beijing. ”
"Let's just say that on the second day of the next month, we will be in the palace and invite these old brothers to come and have a cup of tea!"
"Yes." The two tigers came out. Zhu Su came out and said: "We will do it on the second day of the next month...... Wouldn't it be too rushed? ”
"It's better to wait for Uncle Xu to return from the north, and then ......"
Xu Da led the troops and did not return, which was the most deterrent force under Lao Zhu. After all, those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals all have heavy weapons, and they all have hob-like temperaments. From Zhu Su's point of view, it is only safe to wait for Xu Da to come back before doing this.
"It doesn't matter." Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu just waved his hand and said very domineeringly.
"We want to see which monkey cub dares to show his teeth at us!"
……
The days flew by, and in the past few days, the palace seemed to have completely forgotten about the increase in business taxes, and everything became calm. Lao Zhu no longer obsessed with commercial taxes, but paid attention to the affairs of the national eunuch. Under the high pressure of the emperor, the prisoners of the country can be said to be tossed to live and die, and many Confucian students who insist on science have dropped out of school, and today's prisoners can be said to be one out of ten.
Zhu Su said that it didn't matter, but with the addition of Song Lian and Liu Bowen, the loss of Guozijian students could be regarded as stable. However, even under Liu Bowen's management, Guozijian still added many compulsory courses such as arithmetic, astronomy, etc., and the surviving beings were also miserable.
Slowly, the time came to the second day of junior high school. When night approached, a group of nobles came to the palace gate in luxurious carriages. They hooked their shoulders in twos and threes, as if they were attending an ordinary dinner. I don't know what awaits them later.
"Hey, this isn't Li Xiang!"
"I'm at home these days, I don't know what I'm busy with? Isn't it the same as my old fee, how many new concubines have been accepted? ”
Pingliang Hou Feiju drunkenly grabbed Li Shanchang's arm. Li Shanchang had just gotten off a simple carriage, and suddenly heard Fei Ju's title, and couldn't help but be so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he was busy trying to tear off Fei Ju's hand: "Pingliang Hou...... How could Pinglianghou get drunk now. ”
"The old man is no longer a Xiangguo, and now that the Ming Dynasty has no Xiangxiang, how can he call it a word? Trespassing, trespassing! ”
On that day, after Li Shanchang invited Zhu Xungui, when he returned to the back house, he saw Li Qi coming back with a wound on his face, and then he knew about it from the mouth of this filial son and was told about it to the emperor.
It stands to reason that he, Li Shanchang, is just a middleman, and he does not violate the law, otherwise he would not dare to act so recklessly. But somehow, after knowing that this matter was known by Lao Zhu, Li Shanchang was as if he was immediately poured a basin of cold water, and all the previous calculations and measurements turned into nothing, and only Lao Zhu's cold eyes remained in his mind.
After that, Li Shanchang immediately closed the door of the mansion, although there were no Jinyi guards guarding the door, he always followed Lao Zhu's orders, and all the people in the Korean Mansion did not leave the mansion unless necessary.
Entering the palace today, it is the first time that Li Shanchang has gone out to let off steam.
"Hey, in the eyes of our Huaixi generals, Li Xiang will always be Xiangguo!" Fei Ju said with a big grin.
Since that day, Li Shanchang helped them Huaixi Xungui to exchange the land for commercial property, Fei Ju and these people felt that they had made a big gain, not only to fulfill the emperor's requirements and not to make Lao Zhu jealous, but also to make a lot of money, so as not to have blood.
As soon as he was happy, Fei Ju chartered several flower boats on the Qinhuai River, lingering among the flower boats every day, drinking and having fun, so that it became a very popular affair in Ying Tianfu recently.
No, even when he went to the palace for a banquet, he didn't go back to the house to pick it up, but directly drunk from the Qinhuai River and rushed directly to the palace gate.
Li Shanchang didn't dare to say more to him. Besides, who knows what other shocking things this drunk man will say. Fortunately, a chamberlain soon came at the gate of the palace to convey the emperor's will: "Your Majesty has a decree, please come with the slaves, and the slaves will lead the lords to the banquet." ”
So the nobles did not thank them, and entered the palace gate in twos and threes, shouting and screaming. Among all the people, only Li Shanchang and Feng Sheng always uphold the courtesy, follow the same steps, and dare not exceed the rules at all.
Feng Sheng glanced at Li Shanchang, who had become cautious, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If you know today, why bother......
Everyone came to a side hall in the palace, and here, there were already palace people who had prepared a small table table. The generals were also nowhere to be seen, just like in the past when Lao Zhu was still a party commander, they took their seats one after another, crooked. Seeing that there was not even a cup of tea on the table, a few people greeted the waiter: "What are you doing just looking at it?" Why don't you bring some drinks? After walking such a long way and not having a drink, do you have to die of thirst grandfathers? ”
domineering, almost undisguised.
"Since you're so thirsty, can we still let you drink water?" A majestic voice came from outside, "Come, serve tea to the brethren!" The person who came was Lao Zhu, who was full of smiles and strode into the hall.
Li Shanchang and Feng Sheng were shocked, and immediately left the table and bowed down.
