Duke Han's boat slowly docked on the trestle. Duke Cao Guo, Duke Wei, Duke Guo Song, as well as the marquises in Beijing, as well as the right prime minister Hu Weiyong and six ministers, have been waiting in the cold wind for a long time.
In fact, the three princes do not need to come, but after the court ended yesterday, Boss Zhu specifically told them that the prince of South Korea is here to officiate our son's wedding this time, and the three of you are our relatives, so welcome him for me.
So the three princes came. When the princes saw this, they naturally followed.
As for Hu Weiyong and the six ministers, that was what they were supposed to do.
After the boat ladder was set up, Li Qi supported the white-haired Korean male and tremblingly got off the boat.
Li Shanchang looks ten years older than he was half a year ago. I don't know whether it was the failure to move the capital that hit him too hard, or the psychological pressure of challenging Boss Zhu was too great.
Maybe a bit of both.
"We are waiting to welcome the Prime Minister back to Beijing." All the civil and military officials bowed and saluted together.
Li Shanchang showed a pleased smile and said, "Thank you for your help, it's such a cold day."
"Why bother, I'm going to kill you." He clasped his fists at the three princes again.
"The old prime minister is too outspoken. Isn't it right for us old subordinates to come and join him?" the three princes said with smiles on their faces.
This is true. During the war, the military and government were unified, and Zhongshu Sheng was in charge of the civil and military affairs. Xu Da was the prime minister on the right, and Li Shanchang was the prime minister on the left. All the civil and military officials were their subordinates.
Li Shanchang exchanged polite greetings with several marquises, and then greeted six ministers...
The only one who skipped over was the Right Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.
"Enxiang..." Hu Weiyong could only move forward with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Prime Minister Hu is here too. I'm so flattered." Li Shanchang nodded with a smile, and before Hu Weiyong could speak, he got on the carriage of the Korean government.
Hu Weiyong, who was left out in the cold wind, his face turned green and red, but when he turned his head, he looked as usual and shamelessly got into the Korean bus.
"Good guy." The three princes did not expect to see a good show.
"Old Li is really angry." Deng Yu couldn't help laughing.
"Xiang Hu is very thoughtful." Li Wenzhong said with a smile.
"A true man." Song Guogong also praised.
The three princes chatted and got into the car.
~~
On board a Korean public carriage.
Hu Weiyong lowered his head to the ground, his buttocks sticking out high.
"Master Hu, what are you doing?" Li Shanchang looked at him coldly and asked indifferently.
"Enxiang is obviously angry with Beizhi. Although Beizhi doesn't know why Enxiang is angry, since Enxiang is angry, it's Beizhi's fault. It's always right to kowtow to Enxiang." Hu Weiyong leaned over and said humbly.
In an instant, he seemed to be back to the original little character who accidentally won Li Shan's favor.
Respectfully, with sincerity and fear.
"They are all old foxes who are about to become sperms. Hu Xiang, please stop pretending to be confused here." Li Shan laughed loudly and said, "Didn't you vow to replace us?"
"What an injustice!" Hu Weiyong immediately called out to Chong Tianqu and launched a poisonous curse: "If you have such intentions in this humble position, I will be blown to pieces by thunder from the sky, and my whole family will be destroyed!"
"Haha..." Li Shanchang just sneered.
"The humble post was promoted by Prime Minister En, and he was taught by En Prime Minister, and we are what we are today. Both the government and the public know that the humble post is the lackey of En Prime Minister. If I fail the favor, the government and the public will treat me like a pig or a dog. I
How can you have the dignity to stand in the court? How can you be the teacher of hundreds of officials?"
Hu Weiyong burst into tears and said heartbrokenly: "Besides, Enxiang has passed down the throne to Bengzhi. Beginning and Enxiang are in the same line and share weal and woe. What else can I replace?"
Li Shanchang finally regained his composure and said slowly: "Yes. At my age, I have to leave everything to you. Why are you so anxious?"
"There is really no rush in a humble position. It's just that everyone knows who the superior is, and everyone knows the favor. Sometimes, when the superior asks me to do it, I have to do it. Over the years, I don't know how many scapegoats I have taken for him." Hu Weiyong burst into tears.
road.
"If your superiors tell you to die, you will die too?" Li Shanchang snorted coldly.
"If you want your minister to die, you will have to die." Hu Weiyong smiled bitterly and said, "Is there any other choice for a humble position?"
"Okay." Li Shanchang was blocked for a moment, but his tone became more gentle:
"What is a prime minister? He is in charge of the emperor and regulates yin and yang. You can't just obey. You have to let the emperor know the boundaries."
"boundary?"
"Since ancient times, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats have ruled the world together!" Li Shanchang said with emphasis: "Although it is true that the emperor is the only one who rules alone, this world has never been ruled by one person!"
"This..." Hu Weiyong was deeply shocked, and he was not pretending at all.
"It is the prime minister's bounden duty not to let the emperor be a sole husband!" Li Shanchang taught in a deep voice: "As the teacher of hundreds of officials, the prime minister should lead the scholar-bureaucrats and rule the world together with the emperor. If you cannot do this, you are not a qualified prime minister!"
"For the sake of the common people in the world, so what if I am dismissed from office and beheaded? I can definitely inspire the successors and maintain the authority of the prime minister! It is to make the emperor unable to be a single husband, this is Xie's yin and yang! Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Hu Weiyong nodded heavily and said, "You are really incompetent for a humble position."
"Humph, it's good to know." Li Shanchang asked him to get up and asked calmly: "The emperor asked me to come to Beijing not just to marry Prince Yan."
"I guess I want to talk to Enxiang. The general is back and the emperor is under great pressure." Hu Weiyong has this advantage, he is stubborn and stubborn.
"Don't you want to operate on us?" Li Shanchang asked.
"Impossible." Hu Weiyong said flatly: "The emperor attaches great importance to the marriage between King Yan and Miss Xu, and it is impossible to joke about this matter. He invited Enxiang to officiate the wedding, which is a signal to take the initiative to reconcile with Enxiang.
"
"Hmm." Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It makes sense. But it's not like the emperor's style."
"It's clear at a glance what people's disfavor is, and it's difficult for the emperor." Hu Weiyong tried: "But Enxiang has pushed the emperor into a panic, isn't it too dangerous?"
"Well. If the superiors really want to overturn the table and kill people, we really have nothing to do." Li Shanchang agreed: "But now the world is not at peace, and there are internal and external troubles. It is far from the time when the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked. So we have to take advantage of this moment to fight.
If we really wait until the world is peaceful and everything is fine, then if we continue to fight like this, we will be like an old man eating arsenic - he is tired of living."
"Are we still going to fight about moving the capital?" Hu Weiyong asked.
"Fighting is just a means." Li Shanchang said calmly: "As long as the emperor recognizes co-governance, anything can be said."
"I'm old, I will be the bad guy this time, and you will be the good guy." He said to Hu Weiyong:
"I will not have any contact with officials who come to Beijing to talk about statistics. I asked them to go to the Zhongshu Provincial Department to talk to you."
"Yes." Hu Weiyong nodded, but he couldn't hide the shock in his heart? What does this mean? Don't bother with it when you are old. You have been struggling until now and let me take over?
Did Lao Li see through his and the emperor's cards? Or is it just a coincidence?
