"Veteran Li Shanchang pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
The next day, Li Shanchang saw his God.
This surprised him quite a bit. He thought the emperor would leave him alone for a few months. Unexpectedly, he handed over the book yesterday and was summoned today.
"Hahaha, you old guy, you won't come unless I call you?!" Boss Zhu's familiar laughter made Li Shanchang feel a little confused.
"Old minister, please remember the emperor's teachings, stay safe at home, and stay at home." Li Shanchang calmed down and said quickly: "Although I have been missing the emperor very much, I will never dare to come without permission to cause trouble to the emperor without being summoned."
"Haha, as expected, our Mr. Li is the most self-conscious." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "We also think of you often. Officials from Fengyang will ask about your current situation. I heard that you really haven't gone out much these years, so
I don’t see many people, I just keep marrying little wives from one house to another.”
"Yes, I can't change my lustful habit, old minister." Li Shanchang said sarcastically.
"Yes, Guo Tianxu knew about your problem back then and sent four beauties to seduce you." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect that you would use a trick to take all the beauties, but pretended to go to him and
He cheated a lot."
"Haha, the old minister still understands the importance of things." Li Shanchang felt relieved. At least the emperor rekindled his old friendship with him instead of beating him up as soon as he came up. It seems that calling him back was not a question of guilt.
"How can a few beauties shake your loyalty to your superiors?"
"That's right, there need to be at least dozens of them." Zhu Yuanzhang joked.
"Old minister, I think I can withstand it. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try." Jun and his ministers burst out laughing. The old estrangement and the unfamiliarity they had not seen for several years seemed to disappear in the laughter.
"We believe you can control yourself." Zhu Yuanzhang then suppressed his smile and said, "But what about the people around you? Your brother Li Cunyi, I heard that you broke his leg again?"
"Yes..." Li Shanchang's heart skipped a beat. That was something he did just the day before he came, and the emperor already knew...
"He is also the Prime Minister of Taichang Temple after all. Is it appropriate for you to break his legs all day long?" Boss Zhu said with a faint smile.
"Alas, there is no way." Li Shan sighed and said, "The emperor has given me such a high status. It is inevitable that my family will not know who I am, so I have to beat him regularly."
"Yes, the most difficult thing to manage is the family." Zhu Yuanzhang said with deep feeling: "Hu Weiyong would not have gone to a dead end if it had not been his son's matter."
"If you can't control it, you have to control it," Li Shanchang said firmly: "The emperor's iron ban prohibiting the family members of the heroes from committing crimes is still standing outside Fengtianmen. If the old minister breaks his legs, it is better than losing his head in the future by trying the law.
powerful."
"Well, Lao Li's consciousness is very high." Zhu Yuanzhang praised him profusely: "If those old brothers have your level, why should we worry about not being able to start and end well with them?"
"They also have to give advice from time to time." Li Shanchang said in a deep voice: "They are all heroes who came from troubled times, and now they have become the founding heroes. Many people's thoughts are still stuck in the past. They need to be more patient and take the trouble to teach them."
"Have we not taught enough in these years? I have sung it all the time, and it makes my mouth dry, but they just can't listen!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily:
"Let's teach them a lesson. It's useless if it's light. If it's serious, there will be resentment. Just say that last year, eight of them, Wu Liang, Lu Zhongheng, etc., openly killed the imperial officials. We only temporarily took away their titles, but they were full of complaints all day long.
Not long after, I got together with Hu Weiyong, muttering something mysterious and mysterious."
Li Shanchang felt his heart tightening and his scalp numb when he heard it, knowing that the drama was coming.
"If we hadn't restored their titles in the new year and transferred them far away in time, some of them might have been involved in Hu Weiyong's case." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face and his hands on the jade belt around his waist:
"It's not a pity for them to seek death, but they have to let us bear the reputation of killing heroes!"
"No, no." Li Shanchang saw sweat on his forehead and hurriedly waved his hands: "Xiao Wu and Xiao Lu are all brothers who have passed their lives in power. I believe that they are relying on the favor of their boss to act recklessly. I believe that they followed Hu Weiyong in rebellion. Veteran
I wouldn’t believe it even to death.”
"I have worked hard for half my life and finally became a very humane hero for the founding of the country. Who wants to be a rebel again?" Li Shanchang tried his best to explain to the nobles. "Your superiors should take back what you just said. It sounds scary."
"Hahaha, no wonder the brothers in Huaixi regard you as their big brother. You are really protective of me." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said casually: "Those who don't know think Li Cunyi is still in there."
"..." Li Shanchang was so frightened that he peed again. Li Cunyi was not in there!
Obviously, they were conspiring together in Hu Weiyong's house. The emperor knew everything about it, but he didn't know the content of their conversation.
Lao Li is worthy of being Lao Li. Even if his crotch is wet, he can still remain calm and instantly judge that the emperor is hitting rather than testing. At this time, the emperor is obviously going to give up and will not expand it in a short time.
"The evil obstacle is not inside!" He hurriedly knelt down and said: "The old minister broke his leg because of this. Gathering a crowd to complain is often the source of strange disasters!"
"Then what are they talking about?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Li Shanchang with a deep look.
"They are all bullshit complaints! Hu Weiyong gathered them together and led them to say some bad things. At that time, they just thought that he was also full of complaints and they just wanted to vent together." Li Shanchang said, sweating profusely: "
Now it seems that he deliberately tested them to see who could join him in rebellion."
"Fortunately, although Li Cunyi and Xiao Wu were ignorant, they were loyal to the emperor and no one was influenced by him. Later he gave up." Li Shanchang said with tears streaming down his face:
"But these idiots didn't realize Hu Weiyong's evil intentions, otherwise they would have reported it to the emperor long ago! How stupid they are... So when the old minister found out about Hu Weiyong's rebellion, he broke his other leg in anger."
"I see." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But we can't force them to be as vigilant as you, Lao Li. As long as they don't follow suit, they are still our brothers."
"Then we can't take it easy on them. The old minister came here just to ask the emperor to dismiss their officials! Let them be the top soldiers and reflect on themselves!" Li Shanchang said bitterly: "Not all high-ranking officials and dignitaries are in trouble.
Not satisfied yet!”
"Forget it, we have already punished them. You also broke Li Cunyi's legs twice. I guess they all have to learn a lesson this time. Let's not do it next time." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand magnanimously and smiled at Li Shanchang:
"What does that say? An old man in a family is like a treasure. It would have been nice if you had been in Beijing at that time. Hu Weiyong would not have dared to make a mistake."
"I'm ashamed, I didn't realize how rebellious that guy was back then..." Li Shanchang hurriedly lowered his head and said.
"You can't say that. We have used him for ten years, and you haven't noticed it yet?" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly again: "Let's look forward. This time we deposed the prime minister, withdrew the Zhongshu Province, and followed Zhou Li's rule.
Suppose that the Three Dukes discussed the Tao and the six ministers divided their duties. You are the Grand Master, and the head of these three Dukes must be you. Don't leave this time, stay and continue to be your Grand Master."
