Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao deeply: "Biao'er, let's do this for you." Liu Ji is very deep in the city, and he is extremely smart, and his heart is unpredictable. Thou hast revered him as a god, and thou hast obeyed him. If we don't get rid of him, after a hundred years, this country may change its surname. ”

Zhu Biao's face turned red and white when Lao Zhu said it, and he hurriedly gave his hand: "Father, the sons and daughters are not as assertive as in the past, and the father doesn't have to worry too much." Moreover, the poisoning of the founding hero, the prince's teacher, in the capital was not done by Sheng Shi Mingjun. ”

Lao Zhu said: "For the sake of your stability in the future, we will not hesitate to be this wicked person." ”

Zhu Biao said: "Father, the Son of Heaven is sage, and the courtiers are naturally virtuous, so there is really no need to kill them all." ”

The key is that anyone who has some ability has been killed, and when he comes up, there will be no one to use.

Lao Zhu squinted: "Then what do you mean, we're not Mingjun anymore?" ”

Zhu Biao pursed his lips: You are so murderous, and you still want to be treated as a gentleman?

The two fathers and sons froze again.

Alas......

Unexpectedly, in the end, I was still the one who persuaded me.

Zhu Bai sighed secretly and coughed dryly: "Father, the sons and daughters don't like Master Liu very much." However, this person has a relatively high prestige in the hearts of the people, especially the readers. He didn't make a big mistake, and he was also the eldest brother's teacher. If he is killed directly, not only will he damage his father's reputation, but he will also be scolded with his eldest brother. ”

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao.

He spent so much energy and did not hesitate to wronged Zhu Bai to set up a good image of a diligent and loving monarch for Zhu Biao. If it is because of one Liu Bowen that Zhu Biao's character collapses, it is indeed not cost-effective.

Zhu Bai said: "If Master Liu returns to his hometown, then his father will let him go." As long as he is not in the court, even if he has the ability, he is only a warlock who is very good at looking. What other big waves can be set off? ”

Lao Zhu nodded slightly: "Okay." If he wants to get acquainted, then let's let him go this time. ”

Zhu Biao hurriedly bowed his hand to his father: "Thank you, father." ”

Liu Bowen is really smart, and he asked Song Lian to cross Zhongshu Province early in the morning and directly sent the fold to Lao Zhu.

He said in the recital: "After Weichen took the medicine prescribed by Master Hu, he suddenly felt that a hard object like a fist-sized stone was clogged in his chest, and it became more and more bad. The minister was afraid that time was running out, and he didn't want to die in a foreign country, so he implored the emperor to allow the minister to retire, so that the minister could still walk around and bury this old bone back to his hometown Qingtian. ”

When Lao Zhu saw the words "a handful of old bones", he couldn't help but feel a little concerned.

I think Liu Bowen has also served us for so many years, forget it, let him go back.

He approved a "quasi" and asked Zhu Biao to hand it over to the Ministry of Officials for the record.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lao Zhu will definitely kill Liu Bowen in the future, Liu Bowen is at least not at risk for the time being.

Song Lian also took a fold out: "Your Majesty." Weichen also wanted to ask the emperor for a favor and go home to retire. ”

Lao Zhu frowned: "Why do you have to leave ......?"

Liu Bowen is to avoid Hu Weiyong, and what is Song Lian for?

Song Lian Zhan trembled and knelt down: "Thanks to the emperor's dislike, let the ministers teach the prince and the princes for many years." Wechen is now seventy-three, and he really can't do it. ”

Lao Zhu was stunned for a while before he stepped forward to help Song Lian up: "It turns out that the master is so old. Time flies so fast, we don't even realize it. All right. The master has also worked really hard, so let's go home and recuperate. ”

Song Lian wept and saluted: "The emperor's grace is vast." The old minister is old, it is useless, and he can't repay the emperor, so he can only pray every day that my Ming country will be prosperous and the wind and rain will be smooth. ”

Lao Zhu gently patted Song Lian's shoulder, and everything was speechless.

Although Song Lian is sometimes confused, he is a good courtier who is erudite, upright, daring and honest.

Lao Zhu is indeed a little reluctant.

-----

Song Lian and Liu Bowen returned to their hometowns at the same time, which caused a lot of shock in the government and the opposition.

Lao Zhu rewarded them with a lot of property and land, and ordered someone to escort them back to their respective hometowns.

Regardless of whether the ministers are sincere or false, they patted Lao Zhu's ass in the court, saying that he was "a generation of Ming monarchs" and "the emperor's grace is as vast as the waves of the sea, and the sainthood is immeasurable like mountains." ”

Anyway, what is good to listen to and what to say.

Now that the leaders of the Yanguan have returned to their hometowns, the rest of the people will not be stupid in the future, and they will work against Lao Zhu.

Otherwise, it will have no effect, and it will be a dead end.

The happiest person among them is Hu Weiyong.

Now, whether it is a hostile faction or his faction, no one can stop him.

Now it's time to let it go.

I want to be an absolute courtier who has never been seen before!

I want to learn from Sima Yan and Xiao Yan, and one day I will sit on the Jinluan Treasure Hall and accept the worship of hundreds of officials!!

Lao Zhu poured a basin of cold water on him the next day, and greatly praised Liu Bowen's eldest son Liu Lian for presiding over the imperial examination this time, honest and upright, and specially promoted him to be a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and concurrently supervised the imperial history.

directly changed Liu Lian from a seven-grade national supervisor with no real power to a third-grade supervisor.

It's even more exaggerated than Zeng Bingzheng last time, it's just soaring.

Lao Zhu's meaning is obvious.

Liu Bowen and Song Lian are gone, and the forces on Yanguan's side are suddenly much weaker, so they have to replenish the "troops".

If you want to supplement the strength of the speaker, it is naturally Liu Bowen's son who is the most suitable.

If it weren't for Song Lian's two sons, the eldest of whom could only write calligraphy, and the second one was a bit stupid, Lao Zhu would definitely promote them too.

Yanguan also understood, although everyone was very unhappy, but thinking about it, there is no big official on their side except for the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the right imperial historian of the Imperial Stage, An Ran, who is a second-class official.

Hu Weiyong's side is getting bigger and bigger.

If the Yanguan side doesn't promote a person who can say and dare to do to compete with him, won't the Yanguan have no way to survive in the future.

Therefore, although the officials were unhappy in their hearts, they did not speak out against it.

Naturally, the Huaixi faction would not be willing.

Li Cunyi came out and said: "Although Liu Lian performed well in this imperial examination, he was promoted so quickly at once, which is a bit unruly. Picking up seedlings to help him grow is not good for him. ”

In fact, he wanted to say, what kind of thing is Liu Lian, and he has no military merits, he was not even qualified to go to the main hall before today, why should he be on an equal footing with my son Li You?!

When his son Liu Ji left the court, he was only a third grade.

Lao Zhu said lightly: "We have been observing Liu Lian for a long time, he is quite capable." If it weren't for Liu Ji who pressed Liu Lian to prove his innocence and didn't let him recommend himself, and no one was allowed to nominate him, Liu Lian would not be in his thirties and only a seventh-grade official. What's even more rare is that he never complains, works seriously, and is willing to be poor. There are very few such young people today. Unlike some people, relying on Lao Tzu has a little merit, but he doesn't have any ability and character but wants to be a marquis and worship the prime minister. ”
