"How's it going, right?" Liu Bowen smiled proudly.

"Convinced, convinced." The sixth nodded without hesitation, and then told the master everything that had happened in the near future.

Even the fourth brother was in charge of the brocade clothes guard, and he wanted to listen to the top secret of the hundred officials, but he did not hide it.

Liu Bowen even knows his biggest secret, and there is no need for the sixth child to hide anything. It's better to believe in Master wholeheartedly......

Liu Bowen listened very carefully, although he had already guessed that the big one was coming, he was still shocked by the sixth child's narration and was silent for a long time.

The matter of the reform of the imperial examination system has been repeatedly discussed with the sixth child for a long time. At that time, even he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang could not agree easily, and he had to do a lot of work to help the emperor make up his mind.

Unexpectedly, Boss Zhu figured it out so quickly.

"Maybe my uncle's death made my old man feel that I couldn't stay at the right time." The sixth child guessed: "Including letting the fourth brother do those things, it is obvious that he is in a hurry." ”

"I'm in a bit of a hurry." Liu Bowen nodded, twisted his beard and said: "It seems that the emperor has the determination to lift the table and start preparing for overthrowing and starting over." ”

"Actually, he doesn't need to be in such a hurry......" the sixth muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Liu Bowen is old and seems to have some ears.

"No, nothing." The sixth said with a haha: "Anyway, this is a good thing for our plan." ”

"Yes." Liu Bowen nodded, and said quietly: "In the past, the emperor was like a cat playing with a mouse, and I don't know how long he will tease Hu Weiyong. But now, the emperor doesn't want to drag it out any longer, he wants to solve the problem in a short time. ”

After a pause, Liu Bowen changed his words and said: "But the emperor has waited for so long and has no satisfactory result, he will not close the net." ”

"He wants to finish his work and kill all those ghosts and ghosts?" The sixth asked.

"It's impossible to do it all at once." Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "Hu Weiyong's power was not cultivated by himself, but built on the foundation laid by the Korean Gong. It is an exaggeration to say that 'the appearance is the imperial court', but if you want to wipe out the Hu Party, I am afraid that there is no such a big net. ”

"That's right." Lao Liu nodded, there were too many forces around Hu Weiyong. I'm afraid that my father won't be able to make up his mind so much for a while.

"So we can only focus on the key points first." Liu Bowen said in a deep voice: "What the emperor is worried about is nothing more than going to a Prime Minister Hu Cheng, will there be another Prime Minister Jiang Cheng and Prime Minister He Cheng, and continue to take hundreds of officials to sing against him, and change the soup without changing the medicine." ”

"So, I have to change the soup and medicine together." The sixth said in a joking tone: "Simply withdraw the Zhongshu Province and abolish the prime minister, won't the problem be solved?" ”

"Uh......" Liu Bowen was stunned. That's a way for you. Without Zhongshu Province, there would be no prime minister, and without a prime minister, no one would be able to lead hundreds of officials justifiably, and he would be in opposition to the emperor. ”

"Don't say it, this is really like your father's style of acting," the more Liu Bowen thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible: "Maybe at the beginning, my father's purpose was not Hu Weiyong, nor the so-called 'Hu Dang', but the photo chair under him!" ”

"That's right, he's removing his chair!" Liu Bowen struck with both hands, and his tone became firm and said:

"It must be like this, what is Hu Weiyong? What is Hu Dang? Compared with Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Gang at the beginning, it is not a little worse. Why did the emperor endure him again and again? even harbored and connived, because no one is more suitable than Hu Weiyong to be the last prime minister! ”

"That is, Hu Xiangji is stupid, arrogant, and crazy all in one, this kind of person plays with self-explosion, it is really possible to blow up the entire Zhongshu Province." The sixth nodded and agreed.

"It's not that easy, Zhongshu Province is the center of a country," Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "It has existed for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." It is also the head of my Zhaoji industry and domination of the world. It is easy to abolish the prime minister, but it is too difficult to withdraw the book. ”

Lao Liu nodded, the most critical step for the old thief from the rogue to the princes was to occupy Jiqing Road, which is now Yingtianfu. Since then, he has been on the stage, and was named the provincial chapter of Jiangnan and other places by King Xiaoming.

After that, Boss Zhu took this province as the core and began the operation and expansion of the regime until the establishment of the country. Jiangnan Xingzhongshu Province was also naturally upgraded to Zhongshu Province and became the center and head of the national government.

It can be said that the entire operation of the Ming Dynasty revolves around Zhongshu Province. How can the country still function if this center is hastily unplugged? Whether the imperial court will be paralyzed or not is a question that must be carefully considered.

"In fact, the old man has done a lot of foreshadowing before, such as canceling the province of books in the line and dividing the power into three divisions; the dismissal of officials such as the Chinese secretary and the political officer; There is also the establishment of a general political envoy, and the order of the secretary is not to close the white book first; and ordered my eldest brother to look at the court and listen to the government, all in preparation for this step, right? The sixth said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Liu Bowen pursed his head and said: "It seems that the emperor has already planned to withdraw Zhongshu Province, but it is too unbelievable, so even if it is an old man, he only thinks that he wants to deal with the Hu Party, but he can't imagine his real purpose." ”

"My old man has always dared to think and dare to do, only unthinkable, there is nothing he can't do." The sixth pouted and smiled, not knowing whether it was praise or depreciation.

"But even with so much foreshadowing, I'm afraid it still can't solve the most fundamental problem - what to replace the central role of Zhongshu Province?" Liu Bowen pondered carefully for a moment, shook his head and said:

"If you change the yamen, it's just a new bottle of old wine - just a new name, what's the difference? Reset the three provinces? That's just three bottles, and the difference isn't much. I think with the emperor's character, I won't accept it. ”

"So until there is an answer to this question, your father will not act rashly." Liu Bowen knows Zhu Yuanzhang well, and knows that prudence and conservatism are the background colors of His Majesty.

"Maybe in the eyes of my old man, it's not a problem." The sixth child who knows the answer is particularly confident in his tone:

"You can't look at my old man with common sense. He is a superhuman with super energy, he only needs to sleep two hours a day, he can work ten hours, and he can handle four or five hundred official documents, and he doesn't delay, uh...... In short, with the help of my eldest brother, I can almost replace the Chinese book and save ......"

"Huh......" Liu Bowen rarely burst into a foul mouth, slapped his head and said, "Why did you forget this stubble?" Other emperors did need a yamen to replace Zhongshu Province. But your father doesn't need it, he alone is the province of Zhongshu. ”

"Then he must have made up his mind - abolish the prime minister and withdraw the book!" Liu Bowen said without any doubts at this point.

"So let's wait and see?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"No, quite the opposite." Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "It's your father who is watching the changes, he has put on this posture, and smart people can smell the direction of the wind, and know that there is a grievance to be revenged, and the time has come to take revenge." How can you not move at this time? Could it be that my son's revenge needs someone else to help me avenge it?! ”

"That's what I thought too." Lao Liu nodded heavily and said, "I have a lot of accounts, and I have to settle them with the surname Hu!" ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and said, "Master, you say, what should I do?" ”

"You go to school first," Liu Bowen said lightly: "You can't play the trump card at the beginning, good steel has to be used on the blade." ”

"Oh......," the sixth said.
