"Hehe, tell me how to dare to be." Liu Bowen smiled, and then his face was solemn.

"My brother has the talent to go through heaven and earth, why is he obsessed with power, fame and fortune, and he doesn't even know Mount Tai?"

"I have been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and my brother really can't bear to end up with my brother. Therefore, I came to visit and persuaded him. ”

Li Shanchang looked at the enemy in front of him who had almost fought all his life. A few years ago, he was in charge of the Huaixi lineage, and Liu Bowen mediated between the clear streams and fought against the Huaixi officials. At that time, he was better than Liu Bowen. He was knighted as the Duke of Korea, but Liu Bowen was just a sincere uncle; His disciple Hu Weiyong took over as prime minister, and after Liu Bowen was raised by Zhishi, there was no successor to Qingliu.

However, time has passed, but now Liu Bowen is full of spirit, it seems that the whole person is dozens of years old, and even got the emperor's trust again, and he will no longer be the same depressed appearance before. And what about yourself? But he was beaten by the emperor and almost died. Now he is also dying, and he can no longer compete with this old opponent.

"What words do you say? It is nothing more than to persuade the old man to know the destiny of heaven and the current affairs, and he has been cautious since then. Li Shanchang laughed to himself. You have seen it, even the old man's protégé has been expelled from the door, who else will come to look for me, an old man? ”

"I just ask Your Majesty to let the old man go back to his old man, and he can die in the countryside, which can be regarded as a grace of heaven."

Li Shanchang said with interest. His expulsion of his protégé from the mansion is the embodiment of showing his self-denial of his power in front of Liu Bowen. After all, even his cronies no longer have a trace of decency, who can care about his face as an old minister in the future? He only hated his former lust for power, and only thought about winning over the court, but he forgot the emperor's feelings.

I think that I am an old minister, and I am the first merit of enlightenment, even if His Majesty has any dissatisfaction in his heart, he will also take care of his own merits and hard work.

But I forgot the truth that a companion is like a tiger. Now the emperor on the dragon chair, although he helped him rise step by step from the grass, he has to admit that he is more like a male lord than any emperor in the history books.

And any male lord will never tolerate the existence of a powerful minister who intends to control the court......

"Why did Brother Li say this? Brother is not trying to ridicule you. Liu Bowen's face was still serious, and his eyes were sincere.

"The first merit of brother's enlightenment is well deserved. As for what I did before, I really talked about it, but the white jade was slightly flawed, which was insignificant. ”

"If my brother sinks like this, it is to cover the coffin, and how will he evaluate it in the history books in the future? is nothing more than being extremely virtuous at the beginning, but when he was old, he was stupid, so that he was evil by the emperor...... Brother Hero I, is he willing to be so determined by posterity? ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shanchang was also slightly moved, turned his head and asked Liu Bowen, "What do you mean?" ”

"With the sage of my brother, I must have seen that now Your Majesty has lofty ambitions and is dedicated to revitalizing my Huaxia, intending to open up a great cause far superior to that of our predecessors and ancestors." Liu Bowen said. "This is the time to employ people, and it is the time for talented and capable people to show their ambitions."

"Although my brother has a small fault, why can't he redeem his merits and even create new merits?"

"Besides...... Commanding the dynasty, how can there be a country of its own, and come freely and happily? Not only can it be achieved for all generations, but it can also be deserved to enjoy the temple and be worshiped by future generations. Brother, don't you want to make new achievements, open up territory for me in China, and let your Li family be called lonely from now on? ”

Liu Bowen was kind and seductive.

Li Shanchang has long been an old man, if he says anything about the number of romantic characters, and looks at the present dynasty, it will never make him moved. But Liu Bowen had already anticipated this old opponent's desire for power, and lured him with the benefits of building the country, but Li Shanchang quickly took the bait.

When he heard Emperor Chen talk about this in the palace before, he had actually deeply regretted it. In order to win over a few courtiers, it is a pity that he lost the opportunity to be able to establish a country overseas.

Although even if you really go overseas, you don't have a good life when you think about it, and it must be a blue and difficult road at the beginning. But it is precisely because of this that Li Shanchang believes that Lao Zhu must be sincere, and the army of the Ming Dynasty helped to defeat the foreign states, and then opened up the drudgery for them to do, which is also a good deal for the Ming court.

Li Shanchang is not afraid of hardship, otherwise he would not have taken refuge in Lao Zhu in the past. What he wants is the power to really hold one side, and the name behind him. If the Li family can continue to grow rich and prosperous from now on, it would be even better.

And what kind of wealth can compare with the establishment of the country and the system of being lonely and widowed?

"What should the old man do?" Li Shanchang was moved.

Liu Bowen was overjoyed and said to Li Shanchang: "This matter is easy! It is nothing more than to assist His Majesty and work together to rectify the dynasty. ”

"When the dynasty is solemn, the Ming Dynasty is strong, and the overseas vassal kingdom is defeated, the younger brother will promote Brother Li to the town vassal country."

"Brother already has Xiao He's talent, when it comes to how to run a place, Brother Li, you are more experienced than anyone else. In order to better develop the vassal kingdom and make it become the land of our China as soon as possible, His Majesty categorically has no reason not to allow his brother to leave the town. ”

"With the merit of going out of the town to develop, are you still afraid that Your Majesty will not divide your Li family into the position of the head of the country?"

Liu Bowen said.

Li Shanchang lowered his head and pondered, Liu Bowen's words can be called heart-to-heart. If the imperial court really wants to develop the land of Fanbang, his own talent can really come in handy.

Moreover, His Majesty obviously wants to purge the court, and perhaps, there are plans to make all the current courtiers clear. In this way, it is necessary to have a useful minister to take charge of the affairs of the DPRK and China. This courtier not only has the prestige of being ordered in danger, but also needs to be completely under the control of the emperor, so as not to become a big tail after the purge of the courtiers.

Today's cabinet obviously does not have such ability, and although he Liu Bowen has talent, he does not have such prestige. In terms of coming and going, only Li Shanchang can temporarily take the position of this pillar. After all, he is already dying, he doesn't have to worry about his position, and he has a handle in the hands of the emperor, if there is a slight change, the emperor does not have to show mercy.

"The old man knows." Li Shanchang thought about it again and again, and nodded to Liu Bowen. "As a minister of His Majesty, the old man should have done his best and died."

"Your Majesty wants to achieve an immortal cause, although the old man is old, how can he not help His Majesty?"

"If so." Liu Bowen solemnly saluted Li Shanchang. "Honest for my good fortune!"

……

"Hmph, even if he Li Shanchang knows the practice." In the palace, a smile appeared on the corner of Lao Zhu's mouth, who had received his return. "In this way, there is no need to worry that there will be no one available in the DPRK and China in the future, and the world will be in turmoil."

"With his Li Shanchang's support, we can start with peace of mind and sweep away all these dirty officials and corrupt officials!"

"South Korea's public talent can stabilize the dynasty." Zhu Biao nodded in agreement on the side. "It's just Dad, after all, there is no one available for the Korean Duke now, if there are really so many big rats in the DPRK, how can the Korean Duke alone make up so many baskets?"

"What's more, the Department of Taxation alone cannot investigate the shortcomings of many DPRK and Chinese officials. What are the grounds for investigating other officials who have nothing to do with the Ministry of Households? You can't do it without a button, can you? ”

"He Li Shanchang only has one pair of hands, so naturally he can't make up so many baskets. But Biao'er, haven't you forgotten? There are still a lot of vicious dogs in the prison! Lao Zhu smiled.

"Moreover, the officials who have nothing to do with the household department, we have already prepared for them, and they can justifiably inquire about the crimes......" Lao Zhu said, picking up a blank document with a seal on top of the imperial case......
