Chapter 720: The Retirement Life of the Korean Gong
In Fengyang, the central capital, the palace gate is closed, and there are stopped projects everywhere.
The city wall, which has only been repaired for a few years, is already overgrown with weeds. Like a poor woman who has been abandoned from the beginning to the end, shivering in the cold wind.
This is a lost city, and many of the people living in it are frustrated.
For example, the founding prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Korean prince Lee Sun-chang.
The failure of the Ming Dynasty's relocation of the capital and the suspension of the Zhongdu project were a devastating blow to Li Shanchang, who gambled on his political life and gave it a go.
Coupled with the later empty seal case, he and Boss Zhu broke with it completely.
Li Shanchang was able to retreat with his whole body, and his son was still the eldest princess, in fact, it was Boss Zhu who remembered the old love and took care of the reaction of the Huaixi Group, so he gave him a good death......
However, Li Shanchang did not appreciate it, and the complete failure of his political career made him feel uneasy for a long time.
In the past few years, he has been celebrating the holidays every year, and he has not been on the congratulatory table. Boss Zhu was sick that year and couldn't go to court for more than ten days, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wrote to say hello, but he was still indifferent.
But Boss Zhu was angry and cut Li Shanchang's Nian Lu 1,800 stones, and Li Shanchang obediently pleaded guilty......
After that, Lao Li Tou was also honest, and he knew the greetings during the New Year's holidays, and he no longer interacted with the old brothers in Huaixi. He lived in his 100-acre Korean mansion all day long, guarding more than 30 concubines, and lived a so-called retirement life of 'living in a simple place and filling in words and songs to entertain himself'.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the Korean Duke is still closed to the guests, and does not accept New Year's greetings, and only eats wine and listens to music with his younger brother Li Cunyi.
After listening to the last "Wutong Rain" on this day, Li Shanchang looked at his younger brother who didn't belong and said:
"Tomorrow back in Beijing?"
"Yes, big brother." Li Cunyi's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "How can the officials of the Ming Dynasty have holidays? It is the emperor's grace to be able to come back to accompany the New Year. ”
"Hmph, this has become a grace ......" Li Shanchang snorted coldly, put down his cane with both hands, and exhaled a long breath of turbidity. I heard that the emperor asked Hu Xiang to personally supervise and behead Hu Tianci, could it be that this is also a kind of grace? ”
"That's what the emperor said." Li Cunyi sighed and said, "Alas, Hu Xianglao is miserable. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to go farther away, and then continued: "Actually, he killed his son twice." ”
"These words are fresh," Li Shanchang couldn't help laughing: "Hu Tianci still has two heads, and he can let his father kill them twice." ”
"Brother doesn't know, it's like this......" Li Cunyi didn't succeed in slaughtering a white duck last year, and was secretly calculated, first mistakenly thinking that he had poisoned his own son, so he refused the emperor's extrajudicial mercy, but when he was executed, he found that the real Hu Tianci was on the torture table, and finally he could only watch his son be beheaded, and he told Li Shanchang the original story.
"That's three kills." Li Shanchang didn't think it was a problem to look at the excitement: "The early dynasty is also counted once, and if you don't save it, you will kill." ”
said happily rubbing his hands and said: "Well, 'Prime Minister Hu Cheng killed his only son three times', it must be wonderful to write a miscellaneous drama." The old man has something to do this spring......"
"Big brother......" Li Cunyi was speechless for a while, what kind of fun mentality is this? Thinking about how Li You died, don't you sympathize with Hu Xiang, and don't you have the same hatred for the enemy at all? ”
"Sympathy, I also have the same hatred, but what's the use?" Li Shanchang smiled and said: "I'm just an old man who has been in the middle of his life for many years, and I can't help or hate. ”
"The eldest brother is not old, he only accepted an eighteen-year-old concubine...... Li Cunyi said: "People say that you are dead wood in spring." ”
"I did it for the emperor." Li Shanchang said lightly: "The more I indulge in wine, the more relieved the emperor will be, and the safer our old Li family will be." ”
"Big brother is like this now," Li Cunyi looked at the squinting old man in front of him and said, "It's really not like pretending." ”
"Hehe, who said I pretended?" Li Shanchang took a sip of wine and said with a pleasant smile: "How can anyone not love wine?" It's too late for me to enjoy it. ”
"Big brother ......" Looking at Li Shanchang's appearance, Li Cunyi said anxiously: "You are willing to sink like this, it will chill the hearts of the old brothers!" ”
"That's what I said, now Huaixi's eldest brother is Hu Xiang." Li Shanchang said lightly: "The old man has worked hard for Daming all his life, what's wrong with enjoying it when he is old?" Do you need them to eat salty turnips and worry about it? ”
"Hu Xiang's foundation is still too shallow, and the heat is not good." Li Cunyi smiled bitterly: "After reluctantly embarrassing it for a few years, he ended up with a broken family, and now he finally knows that he is 'rotten wood to make beams and pillars - difficult to hold up'." ”
Saying that, he took a deep breath and said, "So when I came back this time, I was also entrusted by Hu Xiang and Jiangyin Hou to ask my eldest brother to come out of the mountain again." ”
"Seeing that in the past few days since you came back, the long worms have been eating eggs and spitting, and you know that there must be a fart to hold." Li Shanchang laughed and scolded, gloating:
"At the beginning, he Hu Weiyong didn't stab me in the back in order to get on the throne, but now I finally know that this prime minister is not something that anyone can do?"
"Got it." Li Cunyi nodded and said with a smile: "Only the founding father of the country, who responds to every call, can make everyone twist into a rope!" ”
"If I am in the court, I will have the final say in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. How could it be possible for the emperor to weaken Zhongshu Province to such a field? Li Shanchang occasionally showed his grandeur, and sighed dejectedly:
"So the emperor won't let me go back, and you will die of this heart."
"Yes, we also know that it will be difficult for the eldest brother to return to the phase in the Hongwu Dynasty." Li Cunyi paused, endured the pounding heartbeat and said tremblingly:
"Then it's better to change the emperor......"
"What?" Li Shanchang's face changed greatly when he heard this, he almost choked to death without a sip of wine, and coughed again and again: "What the hell are you talking about?!" ”
"I mean, we're going to change the emperor......" After holding back for several days, he finally dared to speak, but Li Cunyi stopped flickering.
"Fuck you!" However, Li Shanchang's reaction was beyond the intensity of his face. Seeing that Han Gong's face was as swollen as an eggplant, Huo Ran got up, flipped the table, panted like a bellows, and pointed at Li Cunyi with trembling fingers:
"Are you ghosted? What kind of nonsense do ghosts say? If these words reach the ears of the emperor, we will all disappear from the nine clans, do you know?! ”
Li Cunyi was so frightened that he quickly stood up, but he was unconvinced and said, "Big brother, can't you see clearly today?" The emperor made it clear that he wanted the rabbit to die and the dog to cook! Sooner or later, it's a death, why don't you give it a go, maybe there's still a glimmer of life! ”
"What the hell are you trying to do? With these few pieces of material, I also want to fight with the superiors. It's too self-conscious, isn't it? I thought it was funny! Li Shanchang sneered again and again, hating that iron is not steel, and said to Li Cunyi:
"If you weren't my own brother, I'd have someone arrest you right now and give it to the emperor!"
"Big brother, I am your younger brother and Li You's father. I must avenge his revenge! Li Cunyi's face was red with excitement, and he said loudly: "If you don't help, I'll come by myself!" ”
"Shut up!" Li Shanchang shouted angrily, rounded the dragon head crutch in his hand, and struck Li Cunyi's leg with all his strength.
Hearing a click, Li Cunyi fell to the ground in response, and then hugged his legs and screamed.
"Ahhhhh
