Chapter 109: Ambition
The Yamen of the Ministry of Works, the main hall.
"But Enxiang, this time is not the same as in the past, there is no such enemy as Chen Youliang now, and the construction period given to us by the superior is still long!" As the construction party, Xue Xiang naturally hopes that the longer the construction period, the better.
"Wrong, very wrong." Li Shanchang said categorically: "So you young people, you are always blind, and you can't see Mount Tai. As everyone knows, now is also the autumn of life and death for my Huaixi brothers! ”
"Oh?" Xue Xiang said respectfully: "Please give me advice." ”
"Now there is no Chen Youliang, but there is Liu Bowen!" Li Shanchang was deeply jealous and said: "Yes, he is old and sick, and his status in the heart of the superior is not as good as before." But never underestimate him, and the power behind him! ”
Xue Xiang didn't know about Hu Weiyong's murder of Liu Bowen in the first month.
Li Shanchang can be clear about this. What Han Gong didn't expect at all was that Liu Bowen actually used a bitter trick to get rid of the situation of certain death, and forced the superior to meet him.
It doesn't matter if this meeting happens, it has actually melted away a lot of the estrangement between the monarch and the ministers over the years. How can such a godlike Liu Bowen not be feared?
What's even worse is that the force represented behind Liu Bowen - the party in eastern Zhejiang, and even the landlord class in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is what Li Shanchang fears the most!
"Have you thought about it? The old man is already a very good minister, and he has retired, why do you still pounce on the construction site day and night? He looked at his heavy Xue Xiang and asked:
"Is it really like you think, in order to return to Zhongshu, be the prime minister for a few more years?"
"Don't dare, at least my subordinates didn't think so." Xue Xiang hurriedly cleared the way, but said in his heart, isn't this known to passers-by?
"I don't think so, some people think so. But I'm telling you, it's a big mistake. Li Shanchang said in a deep voice:
"I am fighting for the life and death of our old brothers in Huaixi and future generations!"
"Huh?" Xue Xiang showed a shocked expression.
"The capital of the Ming Dynasty is in Nanjing, and we, the nobles of Huaixi, always have to face the challenge of those landlords in the south of the Yangtze River. You also know very well that they are so good at reading that the emperor opened three imperial examinations and allowed them to cover seventy percent of the jinshi. ”
"Although under our persuasion, the emperor suspended the imperial examination and gave time to scholars in other provinces to catch up. But we know that sooner or later the imperial examination will be reopened, and the people of Jiangnan will control the court sooner or later. It's just that the world is undecided at the moment, and the civil officials in Jiangnan have not yet become a climate, so they can't threaten our Huaixi for the time being. ”
"Yes." Xue Xiang nodded, deeply instructed.
"But sooner or later, there will be no war in the world. And this day will not be too far away, just our Huaixi gang of big bosses, how can we fight with those readers who are full of hearts? Li Shan let out a long sigh and said:
"If you don't do something? We, the founding heroes, will sooner or later be and peeed on the neck by those Jiangnan scholars. Even if we can't see it, our juniors, I'm afraid that Ding Bin's generation, will definitely be able to see it. ”
"So, we must move the capital ......" Xue Xiang somewhat understood.
"That's right, Zhongdu is our hometown. All the landlords and gentry are our fellow villagers, and our power here is intertwined and unshakable. Once the imperial court is set to Fengyang, we can sit back and relax completely. As long as this Daming is in one day, we and our descendants will be able to have the final say for one day! Li Shanchang said with longing:
"Whether to move the capital or not, for our old brothers in Huaixi, it is the difference between heaven and earth, do you think we can not fight this old bone for everyone?"
"Understood, Eun-sang." Xue Xiang nodded.
"Originally, I wasn't too anxious, but Liu Bowen escaped death, and I knew that I couldn't delay it any longer, and if it was too late, there would be changes, and I must let the emperor move the capital as soon as possible!" Li Shanchang's eyes lit up with flames, as if he wanted to burn all the obstacles.
Xue Xiang had already understood it thoroughly. Just as the nobles of Huaixi wanted to move the capital to Zhongdu, the landlords of Jiangnan must have also hoped that the emperor would stay in Nanjing.
Although Nanjing is not very Jiangnan in the eyes of Jiangnan people, it is still a part of Jiangnan, and maintaining the status quo remains unchanged is the most beneficial to Jiangnan landlords.
Therefore, Liu Bowen is the number one opponent of moving the capital to Fengyang, and now that there is a clear warming between the emperor and Liu Bowen, he has a better chance of exerting influence to obstruct the relocation of the capital.
"Before the autumn harvest this year, the emperor wants to go back to Fengyang to worship his ancestors, and by the way, he will inspect the central capital. Until then, at least the palace and city walls must be completed, so that the old man can make a final decision! Help the emperor make up his mind! Li Shanchang waved his fist vigorously and said to Xue Xiang and Ding Bin:
"For the sake of my Huaixi's future, overcome all difficulties for the old man! Remember, the death of ten people is written on the recital as 'quite dead and wounded', and the death of a hundred and a thousand is also written on the recital as 'quite dead and wounded'. If you can't make up your mind, then change someone else! ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I can!" Ding Bin was filled with blood, and he couldn't wait to go out and kill a few more people.
"Subordinate...... can also ......" Xue Xiang lowered his head, the Korean public capital is like this, what else can he say?
"Good!" Only then did Li Shanchang smile and said, "As soon as this matter is completed, the old man's merits will be completed." You will also become a great hero of our Huaixi! ”
"Yes!" The two responded in unison.

Back to Wuli Temple.
When it was dark, the Hong family class ended the rehearsal, but Zhu Fan and Zhu Di still did not come back.
Zhu and Zhu Zhen began to get anxious. You don't have to go to know that Zhongdu City is now a dirty and smelly big construction site, what fun can it be?
The second and fourth should have come back a long time ago.
The two hurriedly went to the front to find Shi Chenglu and explain the situation to him.
Shi Chenglu also felt bad when he heard this. "The gate of Zhongdu City closed early, and it is said that the two little brothers should have come back a long time ago."
"It's broken, something happened." Zhu and Zhu Zhen were a little panicked.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry." Shi Chenglu comforted the two with confidence: "I'll let people inquire." It doesn't matter if the two little brothers really encounter any trouble, there is no problem in this capital that our host can't solve. ”
"Great, that's trouble." Zhu's posture was extremely low at this time, and he did not see the slightest arrogance. It can be seen that everyone can speak well, and the key depends on his situation at that time.
"yes. Please hurry up and find someone, don't let them have a mistake, they are the pillars of the Hong family's class, and they can't start the show without them. Zhu Zhen tried to make each other interested by emphasizing the importance of the two elder brothers.
"I know, Wu Song and Tiger, they can't play their first scene without them." Shi Chenglu nodded, and quickly went out to think of a way.
Seeing that the night was getting darker outside, the brothers had no confidence in the goatee.
They found Zhang Hu again and asked in a deep voice, "How do you contact Han Zhixian?" ”
"There's no contact anymore!" Zhang Hu hurriedly cleared up.
"Now the second and fourth are in danger, don't hide it!" Zhu grabbed him by the collar, like he wanted to eat someone.
ps. The seventh update, 13000 orders and changes.
