"One dog barks and a hundred dogs bark! This is our courtier. Tell me how we are not angry!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table. Zhu Yuanzhang knew how much hard work Li Shanchang had put in and how tired he was.
Whether it’s merit or not is another matter, but it’s definitely hard work.
Zhang Ximeng cannot deny this. Zhu Biao captured Lao Li, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed. Others followed and trampled on Lao Li, but he couldn't stand it. After all, he was an old brother who had followed him for so many years. If Li Shanchang really became a bastard, then he
What is Zhu Yuanzhang? Is he also an old bastard?
So there is a very fatal thing here. If Zhu Yuanzhang takes action, then Li Shanchang will undoubtedly die, and it will be like killing the nine tribes.
Because only in this way can we have an explanation.
This was also the case of Hu Weiyong in history. It turned out to be like that. In the end, the Ministry of Education was abolished, Lao Li was implicated... and Li Shanchang was even charged with treason.
Zhang Ximeng understands the key so well that even he and Li Shanchang cannot explain clearly. If Li Shanchang is really a treacherous person after so many years of working together, how come you can't tell?
Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhang Ximeng, if they take action, it will definitely be bloody and there will be no way to do good.
That's why Zhang Ximeng was so happy that Zhu Biao took action, because only Zhu Biao could do this. He dismissed Li Shanchang from his position in the name of improper employment, old age and ignorance, and neglect of investigation. This was the most appropriate way.
It's just that these court officials don't understand, and they still want to add insult to injury and hunt down Li Shanchang. This is going too far.
"My lord, among the officials who impeached Li Shanchang, others were easy to handle, but this Jin Yiwei, what do you think should be done?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said after thinking for a while: "Li Shanchang has resigned as prime minister, Biao'er has begun to assist the country, and Jin Yiwei... should be abolished!"
Although Zhang Ximeng expected this, he was still shocked.
Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't say anything about his son. The Jin Yiwei is a vicious dog raised by the emperor. Only when there are fierce ministers in the court, a vicious dog is needed to guard the house.
Li Shan has resigned as Prime Minister. If Mao Xiang is smart, he should shut up quickly so that no one can see him.
In the end, this man was not willing to give up and continued to hunt for Lao Li. In this case, there was no need for Mao Xiang to exist. This dog should also be killed for meat.
Elder Zhu would show mercy to Li Shan, but he would not show mercy to Mao Xiang.
Destroying the Jinyiwei can also put an end to the prison ahead of him, and it can also be regarded as helping Zhu Biao build up his reputation and allow him to better control the court situation.
Therefore, Lao Zhu's tolerance for his son even reached the point of connivance. I wonder which emperor, in his prime, would be willing to abandon his martial arts to fulfill his son's needs!
In history, Lao Zhu actually did this. After several jail terms, Jin Yiwei was imprisoned under Zhu Biao's cries. However, with Zhu Biao's death, Jin Yiwei was released again.
Now Lao Zhu wants to abolish Jin Yiwei again.
Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while and then said: "My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince has to have a knife in his hand. In the past few years, Mao Xiang has been investigating and handling cases, and his butt is not so clean. The Menxia Province has received some reports against Jin Yiwei, most of which are from Mao Xiang."
Xiang enriches his own pockets and extorts money. I guess his family fortune can make the lord’s eyes shine!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "Everyone is richer than us! Even you, Mr. Zhang, have hundreds of thousands of coins in your hands. Do you think we don't know?"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "Wrong, it's one million! I just received another royalties!"
"You!" Lao Zhu was furious, "We just don't understand why the emperor is the poorest person?"
Zhang Ximeng was startled, "Lord, you have made most people rich and benefited... It is natural for you to lose money. The emperor is in debt for all the people! But to say that you are the poorest is unreasonable.
Not necessarily. King Yan owes more than Your Majesty!"
Lao Zhu was stunned, "He? Are you saying that he is more suitable to be the emperor than us?"
"No!" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "What I mean is that King Yan has a good attitude. As long as he owes enough, he doesn't have to pay back."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, finally helpless.
"Sir, we have so many princes, and Biao'er is becoming more and more heroic now. Although Zhu Di is a bastard, he... still has some merits. Between the two of them, who can really carry forward our foundation?"
Zhang Ximeng didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, from the palm of his hand to the back of his hand, and from the back of his hand to his palm... Old Zhu understood the idea and nodded with a smile.
"Sir, these two children listen to you very much. Sir, please take care of these two for us and let them grow up."
Zhang Ximeng naturally agreed and had nothing to say.
Lao Zhu suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he just remembered.
"Sir, Mr. Li is gone this time. The position of left prime minister must belong to you. I hope you will pay more attention to the next court situation!"
Zhang Ximeng waved his hands quickly: "Your Majesty, this is not possible! Since we want to fulfill the prince's needs and let him develop into a talent, this time the matter should be dealt with by the prince. As for the subsequent arrangements for the courtiers, it is still up to the prince. I am about to write to the prince.
Trust me, if you are really in trouble, I can resign!"
Lao Zhu suddenly became anxious, "Sir, aren't you talking nonsense? No matter what, the court cannot live without you, sir! You are telling a joke! We won't agree!"
Zhang Ximeng took a deep breath and said, "My lord, I am not joking. I am indeed planning to put down the tedious affairs of the common people and concentrate on planning for the future. Of course, if my lord feels that it is not possible now, I can continue to stay in office for a few years, but in the end
I want to write a book behind closed doors."
Lao Zhu said with a sullen face: "Sir, Li Shan has returned to his hometown. He is different from you. We are not people who kill donkeys. You must not have the heart of sorrow for the death of rabbits and foxes. You must not have it! Our two families want to be together."
Support each other and keep going!”
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke sincerely and had absolutely no intention of being deceitful. Even if Zhang Ximeng was the only hero left in the dynasty, he was not alone.
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "My lord, I understand what I mean. It's just that I'm really not suitable to deal with specific matters now... By the way, my lord, can you give me a favor?"
Lao Zhu said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "Nothing else, I just hope that the master can let Mr. Li use his spare energy to do something good."
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more surprised, "Are you interceding for Li Shanchang? Now that he has resigned as prime minister, how do you want us to arrange for him? Continue to guard one side? Isn't that the custom of the Song Dynasty? The prime minister went out to guard important towns. My husband had opposed this at the beginning.
of!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's memory is quite good. At first, Zhang Ximeng was really worried that allowing the prime minister to be released would lead to civilians taking charge of the army, and then he would use civil servants to control military forces, which is absolutely unacceptable.
"My Lord, I really want Prime Minister Li to go out and keep Mu on one side. But this place is a little far away."
"where?"
"Goryeo!"
…
After all, Li Shanchang did not expect a miracle. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to his resignation letter, but Zhu Yuanzhang issued an additional order that Li Shanchang should go to Peiping, and the emperor and his ministers would have to meet.
After this decree came down, many people were greatly surprised.
His Majesty is still willing to meet Li Shanchang, but the question is, what else do they have to say?
Could it be that Your Majesty is still unbearable and wants to renew their relationship?
This is not right either!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to leave Lao Li, so why did he dismiss Li Shanchang?
I never imagined that it would be necessary to say goodbye.
Moreover, Li Shanchang has been the prime minister for so many years. There is almost nothing in the court, inside and outside, that he does not know. If Lao Li meets Zhu Yuanzhang, at the last moment, he does not have a gatekeeper and talks nonsense, then I am sorry, the court will
Gentlemen, who else can be spared?
No matter the others, Mao Xiang was the most frightened.
Although Yushitai took the lead in checking the treasuries in various places, the Jinyiwei played a very important role. They were at the forefront in tracking down the whereabouts of grain and cloth and arresting officials.
Naturally, the most complaints were made.
It can be said that Jin Yiwei contributed to Li Shanchang's downfall this time.
Moreover, Mao Xiang knew what was going on with the Jinyiwei. If Lao Li finally tried his best to retaliate, Xu Da could not be brought down, and he could not afford to offend the prince. The other courtiers all had their own foundations, so there was no need to worry. He was the only one who commanded the Jinyiwei.
So, the situation can't be said to be good,
So Mao Xiang hurriedly came to see Zhu Biao.
"Your Highness, I am willing to escort Mr. Li north."
Zhu Biao said calmly: "No need, Gu has already told Guo Ying and asked him to send someone to escort him to make sure nothing goes wrong."
Guo Ying is in charge of the Military Intelligence Department and was also the original head of the Security Department. It is indeed appropriate for him to do this.
But Mao Xiang was anxious, "Your Highness, Li Shanchang has been in charge of Zhongshu for many years. He has appointed private individuals and is as powerful as the sky. I am worried that if he goes to Peiping and talks nonsense, it will ruin His Highness's important affairs!"
Zhu Biao then put down the case file in his hand and said with a smile: "Can he ruin my affairs? Are you saying that my father will listen to him, or that Mr. Zhang will listen to him? Commander Mao, you are worrying too much!"
Mao Xiang gritted his teeth. He was getting more and more uneasy now. If Li Shanchang was allowed to meet Zhu Yuanzhang smoothly, who knew what the consequences would be?
"Your Highness, I have here real evidence that Li Shanchang's son Li Qi is corrupt. Please give an order to arrest Li Shanchang immediately and investigate the case thoroughly!"
Mao Xiang took out the so-called evidence and handed it to Zhu Biao.
It can be said that this is risking everything, a desperate blow, and completely overthrowing Li Shanchang. It is easy to say anything, otherwise Mao Xiang feels that he is also in danger.
He has dealt with so many people, and there are so many people under Li Shanchang, and they will not let him go.
Zhu Biao took these pieces of evidence and did not unfold them. Instead, he weighed them in his hands. There must be about ten pieces, and then put them aside. He stood up and carried over a huge mahogany box.
Then he unfolded it and smiled at Mao Xiang, "This whole box is yours!"
For a moment, Mao Xiang was stunned. Is this trying to kill the rabbit?
Did it come too soon?
Just when he was in a daze, Guo Ying had already rushed over with his men and captured Mao Xiang without saying a word!
"Mao Xiang, you sent so many people to prison, but you never thought that one day you would go there yourself!"
Mao Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "I, I am acting according to orders! Without His Majesty's orders, who can arrest me?"
Zhu Biao laughed loudly, "How could I take action without the emperor's will? Mao Xiang, if you really cared about the emperor's will, how could you end up like this?"
"take away!"
Guo Ying escorted Mao Xiang down, and then sent someone to escort Li Shanchang north. After hearing that Mao Xiang had been captured, Li Shanchang burst into tears.
Heading in the direction of the East Palace, I bowed tremblingly... "Your Highness is wise!"
