Chapter 124: Today, I did the opposite, Prime Minister Zuo is in my pocket!
Today, is there any big move in the imperial court?
The courtiers of Zhongshu Province all looked at Li Shanchang in front of them in amazement.
Li Shanchang, the first duke of the Ming Dynasty, can be said to be a combination of power and dignity, but today, it is just a little more than a month, and it is once again a tribute.
So how can this official of the Ming Dynasty be a man?
Actually, it's no wonder that these courtiers think too much.
Since Yang Xian's incident began, when has the court been calm?
Either thoroughly investigate Zhongshu Province and Yushitai, or uproot the Jiangnan civil official group and the party faction in eastern Zhejiang.
Now these civil and military ministers who are lucky enough to stay are already rejoicing, but they are also sad, and I don't know when the imperial court will begin to liquidate again.
Therefore, the ministers in the court now can be said to be walking on thin ice, and they dare not step on half a wrong step, otherwise, they will be a dead end, and they will be beheaded all over the house.
But now, Li Shanchang is out again, and there will be abnormal changes in Zhongshu Province, and the change of power will inevitably lead to a big change, so can these officials?
Even, including the officials of the six ministries, all looked at Li Shanchang with a little surprise in their eyes.
"Li Xiangguo, didn't we say it last time, no."
Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head, looked at Li Shanchang and said softly: "Didn't we treat Li Xiangguo badly again?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was really unsure of his old brother's thoughts for a while, whether it was true or borrowed
After all, after that night of talking, the knot between the two brothers was gone, and Li Shanchang's view of power had also changed, so why did he insist on it.
"Your Majesty."
"In recent days, Lao Chen often feels powerless and tired."
"Even when I was in the court, I would take a slight nap, and I really couldn't bear the affairs of Zhongshu Province, but Zhongshu Province was an important town of the imperial court, so how could I dare to neglect my duties."
Li Shanchang did not hesitate, just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed slightly and said with a smile: "It's not Your Majesty's fault, Your Majesty treats the old ministers, like a guest, how can you say that you are not a bad courtesy, this is not a shame for the old minister." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang has never changed for Li Shanchang, at least from the first year of Hongwu to the third year of Hongwu today, Zhu Yuanzhang has a dependent attitude towards Li Shanchang, even if he is dissatisfied with some things, but he is always his own brother.
In particular, Li Shanchang is still the first minister to participate in Zhu Yuanzhang Group, which is equivalent to the shareholder of this Ming Dynasty, so Lao Zhu still has some respect for Li Shanchang.
But why did Li Shanchang in the later period end up with a full house of beheadings?
On the one hand, Li Shanchang is too obsessed with power and can't let go at all.
On the other hand, Li Shanchang is too capable of living, this is the end, Li Shanchang is much older than Zhu Yuanzhang, but his mental state is still energetic.
Moreover, at that time, there was no crown prince in the Ming Dynasty, only the crown prince Zhu Yunwen, so Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already old, felt that Zhu Yunwen couldn't hold the scene.
Second, the more Lao Zhu looks at Li Shanchang, the more he looks like a person.
In history, such a person who can live and is still so talented, just one Sima Yi is enough to make Lao Zhu frightened, if Zhu Yunwen can't control Li Shanchang.
Didn't the Ming Empire have the surname Li?
So, Lee Sun-chang must be karma!
"The old prime minister has made up his mind, so we will agree with you."
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes slightly, and said softly.
The love of monarchs and ministers for more than ten years will finally come to an end at this time, and I can't help but feel a lot sad.
"The old minister bows to your majesty for your grace."
Li Shanchang's eyes moved slightly, flashing with unknown emotion, and then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and kowtowed.
"You don't have to go back to the countryside, you still live in Jingshi, and often go into the palace to talk to us."
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes, looked at Li Shanchang, and even the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Palace, and said softly: "If you step down as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, then you will be crowned as the prince of Korea, and the prince of Korea cannot be shirked." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Shanchang kowtowed again.
The Taishi has no actual authority, but it is a glorious body, which is an affirmation of Li Shanchang, plus, this is given by Zhu Yuanzhang, so this Taishi, Li Shanchang can't refuse.
"Sure enough, it's the pinnacle of a supreme minister."
Xiao Han looked at Li Shanchang, a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think.
Although there is a slight deviation in history, it is not much, the history of Li Shanchang Hongwu four years to Shi, the crown of the Taishi, is Zhu Yuanzhang's compensation to Li Shanchang, but today is the end of the third year of Hongwu, carefully calculated, at this time to leave the court, it is just right.
Hopefully, Li Shanchang can understand Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work and avoid Hu Weiyong's disaster.
After all, Xiao Han could see that Zhu Yuanzhang was like Yang Xian in the past to Hu Weiyong, completely treating him as a knife.
It is estimated that he wants to use Hu Weiyong to cut off the Zhongshu Province.
That Hu Weiyong, a courtier, will die!
But what does this have to do with Xiao Han, since Hu Weiyong has floated now, Hu Weiyong has to bear the consequences himself.
It's just that Xiao Han has to put Huaixi Xungui, as well as Lan Yu and other generals back on the right track, and he can't be led astray by Hu Weiyong, otherwise, he will not escape death.
"Mr. Li, since you have already sent a letter to the official, then we want to ask you, who can be of great use, who can be the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought slightly, looked at Li Shanchang, and asked softly.
If Li Shanchang still understands what it means to know each other between monarchs and ministers, then he should understand what he means by Zhu Yuanzhang's question.
From the bottom of his heart, Hu Weiyong has been on Zhu Yuanzhang's must-kill list, after all, Hu Weiyong can't run away just for the crime of forming a party for personal gain, and the emperors of all dynasties will never tolerate the courtiers who form a party for personal gain!
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang hopes that Li Shanchang can get out of Hu Weiyong's pit.
Then this recommendation of Prime Minister Zuo has a three-point taste.
"Your Majesty."
"Lao Chen recommended Suning Hou as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province."
Li Shanchang, who is old and refined, how could he not understand what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, he sighed in his heart, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed again.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong's eyes before, and the coldness flashed from it, how could he escape Li Shanchang's eyes, so Hu Weiyong would definitely be Prime Minister Zuo.
But this Prime Minister Zuo can't be recommended by him Li Shanchang, otherwise he will live up to Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work.
But the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who else can be recommended as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province?
It's impossible to recommend Wang Guangyang, right?
Then Xu Da still has to be anxious with him Li Shanchang?
Therefore, Li Shanchang chose Xiao Han, Hou of Suning, after all, Xiao Han is frail and sickly, and he is still in a sick state, and he is not qualified for Zhongshu Province at all, so Xiao Han will inevitably refuse.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang will not ask Li Shanchang, but ask Xiao Han or Zhu Biao, so as to lead this question out, but to ensure that Hu Weiyong is the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province.
But Hu Weiyong in the back was stunned on the spot, why wasn't the person recommended by his teacher himself?
But thinking about it carefully, the corners of Hu Weiyong's mouth hooked up a smile again, and he didn't move.
This may be officialdom, Li Shanchang's first recommendation must not be Hu Weiyong, otherwise, it may backfire and cause the emperor to be jealous.
After all, Xiao Han is seriously ill, and anyone can see it, let alone Hu Weiyong, who is thoughtful and has a deep city government.
Therefore, this Zhongshu Provincial Zuo Prime Minister is still in Hu Weiyong's pocket.
"What do you think, Grand Duke?"
Zhu Yuanzhang first glanced at Li Shanchang with appreciation, and then looked at Xiao Han and asked softly.
But in Lao Zhu's heart, he also sighed slightly, Xiao Han is definitely qualified to be the prime minister of Zhongshu Province.
But this child of his own family can't be the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, after all, the current Xiao Han, the top priority is to recuperate.
"Your Majesty."
"The minister is willing!"
The corners of Xiao Han's mouth hooked up with a smile, and then he got up, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed slightly.
Since, this Prime Minister Zuo, you dare to give me Xiao Fengxue, then I Xiao Fengxue will take it!
Suddenly, the entire court hall fell silent.
A big question mark flashed above all the ministers' heads.
Xiao Han's answer made them embarrassed on the spot.
Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong widened their eyes even more, this Xiao Han, why didn't he play according to the routine today?
Not refused?
Directly agreed?
What is this operation?
The dignified nobles, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, when did they start to think about the one-third of an acre of land in Zhongshu Province?
This doesn't look like Xiao Han's character?
Even Zhu Yuanzhang above was wide-eyed, and Zhu Biao on the side had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Dude, you're just going through the motions.
But you directly asked for the post of Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, what do you want to do?
I really think it's a pity to be alive, and I have to fight against Hades?
With your physical condition, can you bear the burden of Prime Minister Zuo?
"Your Majesty."
"Erchen thinks it's inappropriate!"
"The governor of the capital has been ill for a long time, how can he serve as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province."
Zhu Biao stepped out directly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang above, and bowed slightly.
"Hmm"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded first, then shook his head, and finally showed a rare wry smile.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is nodding and shaking his head, after all, he also asked Xiao Han cheaply, and Xiao Han agreed cheaply.
Besides, this is not the Taihe Palace, nor is it the Kunning Palace, and Lao Zhu can still go back on his word.
This is Fengtian Temple, how can Lao Zhu rebel?
Isn't that throwing the face of the court on the ground and stepping on two feet?
"Governor, have you decided?"
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Han and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the minister will temporarily take the position of Metropolitan Governor."
"Today, I ask Your Majesty to revoke the position of Governor of the Metropolitan Governor for the time being of Weichen and use meritocracy instead."
"As for Weichen, Mao recommended himself today."
Xiao Han raised his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Serve as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province." ”
When Xiao Han's voice fell, Hu Weiyong was shocked, and the whole person felt that the world was spinning.
If Xiao Han really wants to compete for the position of Prime Minister of Zuo, then he Hu Weiyong still likes to do something, so let's do it.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, the only recognized young advisor was Xiao Han, the Marquis of Suning, in front of him.
Not to mention that Xiao Han can still overpower him Hu Weiyong in everything, and. Xiao Han also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with such certainty and decided to serve as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province.
So who can beat Xiao Han?
"Who do you think can be the Grand Duke?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought slightly, then looked at Xiao Han and asked.
"Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong."
Xiao Han didn't even think about it, so he pushed Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest nephew out and said.
"Me?"
The eyes of all the ministers were on Li Wenzhong, and Li Wenzhong pointed at himself, a little incredulous.
"Exactly."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "From now on, Li Wenzhong will lead the post of Metropolitan Governor and take charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." ”
"As for the post of Zuo Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province in Suning, the Commander-in-Chief of Zhongshu Province and the six departments."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes looked at Xiao Han again, and nodded slightly.
Now that the face of the imperial court has been set up in the air, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot repent, so Xiao Han must be appointed as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province first, but after a few days, Xiao Han resigned as the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and Hu Weiyong is still the leader of Zhongshu Province.
Anyway, when he arrived at Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have to speak, Queen Ma could scold Xiao Han to death.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust."
Xiao Han and Li Wenzhong bowed down at the same time to receive the order and thanked him.
"Your Majesty."
Hu Weiyong's fists clenched tightly, but he had to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and congratulate.
From this point, it can be seen that Hu Weiyong is much stronger than Yang Xian, at least he will not be stupid enough to come out to find Xiao Han.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a performance."
Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, who had never spoken, walked past Li Shanchang's side and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair and arched his hand.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xu Da in a little surprise, and waved his hand.
"Play."
Wang Jinghong immediately said loudly.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to resign from the post of the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, and I also ask Your Majesty for permission."
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang without humility or arrogance, and bowed.
Xu Da's voice fell, and the courtiers looked at Xu Da again, people are already numb, what are you trying to do?
Today, is it possible to have a big blood change?
Otherwise, first Li Shanchang, and then Xu Da?
Is this negotiable?
Then you read the decree directly?
Do you have to come out and discuss it?
"Tiande, what are you doing when you come out to join in the fun, is it possible, you are also old and can't handle state affairs?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Dadao angrily.
Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang are the same age, almost a few years old, and they are in the prime of life, they don't want to shine, they just want to touch the fish, how can Zhu Yuanzhang be willing?
"Your Majesty."
"The daughter of the old minister has a marriage contract with the Marquis of Suning, so it is inconvenient for the old minister to serve as the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province."
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with reason.
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers basically understood what Xu Da meant.
That is, there are in-laws between the two families, and Xu Da is Xiao Han's old father-in-law, which is equivalent to the father and son controlling Zhongshu Province.
Therefore, in order to avoid Lao Zhu's suspicion, Xu Dacai took the initiative to resign as the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province.
"Hmm."
"Tiande, who are you going to recommend?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da with a raised brow, and said softly.
Xu Da's words can be very true, that's good, after all, Xu Da didn't want to be this right prime minister for a long time, and this is a well-known thing, but now he has found a reason, otherwise, Xu Da has to hold back, and if he wants to resign, how can it be so easy?
Do you think you can't buy vegetables at the market, but you can still negotiate?
This must not be considered from the overall situation according to the situation of the imperial court?
But Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again, Xu Da may have done the right thing, after all, Li Shanchang's era has come to an end, and the new people in Zhongshu Province have replaced the old people, which is already equivalent to a reshuffle in the imperial court, so it is a bit inappropriate to leave Xu Da in Zhongshu Province again, so it is better to follow Xu Da's meaning and let him retreat, so as not to make a moth out again in the future.
But there is an old saying, if you want to retreat, you have to find someone for us to come up, otherwise, once Zhongshu Province is paralyzed, the imperial court will definitely set off a turmoil, so even if there is a problem in the six steps, Zhongshu Province cannot have a problem, at least not now.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that whether it is Hu Weiyong on the left or Wang Guangyang on the right, they can be the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, but who is it, please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."
Xu Da didn't think about it, he pointed to Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, and at the same time, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
has been a brother for so many years, you old boy's mind, we Xu Tiande see that it is called a door clear, so the decision is still in your hands, and we Xu Tiande can't control the rest of the things.
Therefore, whether Hu Weiyong is the prime minister or Wang Guangyang is the prime minister, it is all in Lao Zhu's thoughts.
After all, the right prime minister, that is also the prime minister!
Sure enough, Xu Da's voice fell, and the eyes of Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang flashed with a gleam, after all, if there was no Xiao Han's involvement, the left and right prime ministers of Zhongshu Province would be the two of them in the future, although the power of the right prime minister is always inferior to that of the left prime minister, but it is better than nothing.
Anyway, as long as he can ascend to the position of prime minister, it is not for nothing that the Ministry of Zhongshu will make adjustments in the future, and the right prime minister will be transferred to the left prime minister.
But these two are thoughtful people, although when it comes to the city government, Wang Guangyang is more than one step behind Hu Weiyong, but he is always the best among the civil ministers, so naturally he will not come out to fight, after all, Yang Xian, who has learned from the past, but he has only one bloodline in the world, and they don't want to follow in Yang Xian's footsteps.
"Yu Shi Zhongcheng, we want to ask your opinion."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, then looked at Chen Ning, who was in the imperial history on the side, and asked softly, "Come up with an idea." ”
"Your Majesty."
In the imperial history, Chen Ning walked out of the queue, looked at Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Whether it is Hu Weiyong on the left or Wang Guangyang on the right, they can be qualified to be the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province." ”
After all, Chen Ning, as the imperial history of the Imperial History Tower, is already a check and balance with Zhongshu Province, and Chen Ning is not a fool, in this kind of thing, you must not be stupid, if you can, don't speak, try not to speak.
Even if Lao Zhu asked, Chen Ning could only help each other, otherwise, Zhongshu Province and Yushitai would definitely become the target of public criticism.
"This old boy is quite smart."
Xiao Han also glanced at Chen Ning, and then shook his head again.
After all, it is an indisputable fact that Hu Weiyong and Chen Ning colluded together, and they thought they could hide it from Zhu Yuanzhang, but they didn't know, they were just self-righteous.
Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, and kneel down to thank the brothers! Still working hard to explode!
