First Minister Section 547
And in history, Lao Zhu really did this. After several prisons, under Zhu Biao's crying, Jinyiwei was shut down.But 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 said: "My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince can't live without a knife. In the past few years, Mao Xiang has investigated and handled cases, and his buttocks are not so clean. Menxia province has received some complaints against Jin Yiwei, most of them are Mao Xiang. Xiang enriched his own pockets and extorted money. It is estimated that his family property 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 100 million guan! I just received another manuscript fee!"
"You!" Old Zhu was furious, "We can't figure it out, why is the emperor the poorest person?"
Zhang Ximeng was stunned, "My lord, you have made most people rich and benefited... It is only natural for you to lose money. The Son of Heaven is in debt for all the people! But if you are the poorest, you are the poorest." Not necessarily. King Yan owes more money than His Majesty!"
Old Zhu was taken aback, "He? Are you saying that he is more suitable to be the emperor than us?"
"No!" Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "What I mean is that King Yan has a good attitude, as long as he owes enough, he doesn't have to pay it back."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyelids, but finally he was helpless.
"Sir, we have so many princes, and now Biao'er is becoming more and more like a hero. Although Zhu Di is a bastard, but... there is something remarkable about it. Tell me about the two of them, who can really carry forward our foundation?"
Zhang Ximeng didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, from the palm to the back of the hand, from the back of the hand to the palm of the hand... Old Zhu understood and nodded with a smile.
"Sir, these two children listen to you very much, sir, please take care of the two of them for us, and let them grow up."
Zhang Ximeng naturally agreed without saying anything.
Lao Zhu suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he just remembered.
"Sir, this time Li Xianggong is gone, and the position of the left minister is none other than Mr. I hope you will worry about the next court situation!"
Zhang Ximeng hastily waved his hand: "Your Majesty, this is not acceptable! Since we want to fulfill the prince and allow him to practice and become a talent, the prince should take care of this matter. As for the next arrangement of the courtiers, it is up to the prince. I am about to write a letter to the prince. Xin, if it is really difficult, I can resign!"
Old Zhu became anxious immediately, "Sir, aren't you talking nonsense? No matter what, the government cannot do without Mr.! You are joking! We don't agree!"
Zhang Ximeng took a deep breath, "My lord, I'm not joking. I really plan to put down the cumbersome affairs and concentrate on planning for the future. Of course, if the lord thinks it's not enough now, I can stay in office for a few more years, but in the end I want to write a book behind closed doors."
Old Zhu said with a sullen face: "Sir, Li Shanchang is not the same as you. We are not people who kill donkeys. You must not have the heart of a rabbit to die and a fox to grieve. You must not! Our two families want to Support each other and keep going!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were sincere, and he never meant to be false. Even if Zhang Ximeng was the only hero left in the court, he was not alone.
Zhang Ximeng laughed, "My lord, I understand what I mean. It's just that I'm really not suitable for dealing with specific matters right now...By the way, can my lord give me a favor?"
Old Zhu said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "Nothing else, I just hope that my lord can let Li Xianggong use his spare energy to do something good."
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more surprised, "Are you interceding for Li Shanchang? Now that he has resigned, how do you ask us to arrange him? Continue to guard one side? Isn't that the custom of the Song Dynasty? The prime minister went out and guarded the important town. At the beginning, my husband opposed this matter. of!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's memory is quite good. At the beginning, Zhang Ximeng was really worried that if he allowed the prime minister to be released, he would become a civil servant in charge of the army, and then he would become a civil servant in charge of the military. That is absolutely impossible.
"My lord, I really want to let Prime Minister Li go out, and Mu guard one side. But this place is a little farther away."
"where?"
"Gory!"
……
Li Shanchang did not wait for a miracle after all, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to his resignation memorial, but Lao Zhu made an extra decree to ask Li Shanchang to go to Peiping, and the monarch and his ministers still have to meet.
After this decree came down, it surprised many people.
His Majesty is still willing to see Li Shanchang, but the question is what else do they have to say?
Could it be that His Majesty still can't bear to continue the relationship?
That's not right either!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to let go of Lao Li, so why did he dismiss Li Shanchang?
Unexpectedly, there is still a need to say goodbye.
Moreover, Li Shanchang has been the prime minister for so many years, and there is almost nothing he doesn't know about the court, inside and out.If Lao Li met Zhu Yuanzhang, at the last moment, he didn't have a gatekeeper and talked nonsense, then I'm sorry, who else will be spared?
Others are fine, but Mao Xiang is the one who is most frightened.
Although it is said that Yushitai is the leader in the investigation of treasuries in various places, Jin Yiwei has made great efforts to track down the whereabouts of food and cloth and arrest officials. They are all at the forefront.
Naturally, the most complaints are left behind.
It can be said that Jin Yiwei contributed to Li Shanchang's downfall this time.
Moreover, Mao Xiang knew what was going on with Jin Yiwei. If Lao Li finally tried his best to retaliate, Xu Da would not be able to overthrow him, and the Crown Prince would not be able to offend him. The other courtiers all have their own foundations, so don't worry.Only he, the commander of Jinyiwei, is not in a good situation.
So Mao Xiang hurried to see Zhu Biao.
"Your Highness, I am willing to escort Mr. Li to the north."
Zhu Biao said calmly: "No need, Gu has already told Guo Ying to send someone to escort him to make sure everything is safe."
Guo Ying was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department and was also the head of the former Gongwei Department. It was indeed appropriate for him to do this.
But Mao Xiang was in a hurry, "Your Highness, Li Shanchang has been in charge of Zhongshu for many years, and he has appointed private individuals, and his power is as powerful as the sky. I am worried that he will go to Peiping and talk nonsense, which will ruin His Highness's important affairs!"
Only then did Zhu Biao put down the case file in his hand, and said with a smile, "He can ruin my affairs? Do you mean that the father will listen to him, or Mr. Zhang will listen to him? Commander Mao, you are too worried!"
Mao Xiang gritted his teeth, he was getting more and more uneasy now, if Li Shanchang was allowed to meet Zhu Yuanzhang smoothly, who knows what the consequences would be?
"Your Highness, here is the real evidence of Li Shanchang's son Li Qi's greed for ink. Please order Li Shanchang to be locked up immediately, and the case should be thoroughly investigated!"
Mao Xiang took out the so-called evidence and handed it to Zhu Biao.
It can be said that this is a gamble of everything, a desperate blow, and completely toppled Li Shanchang. It is easy to say anything, otherwise Mao Xiang feels that he is also in danger.
He managed so many people, and Li Shanchang still has so many people under him, they will not let him go.
Holding these evidences, Zhu Biao didn't unfold them, but weighed them in his hand, there must be a dozen or so, and then put them aside.He got up and carried a huge mahogany box.
Then unfold it and smile at Mao Xiang, "This whole box is yours!"
For a moment, Mao Xiang was stunned. Is this going to be boiled to death?
Is it coming too soon?
Just when he was in a daze, Guo Ying rushed over with someone, and took Mao Xiang down without saying a word!
"Mao Xiang, you sent so many people to prison, I never thought that one day, you will go in too!"
Mao Xiang gritted his teeth, "I, I am acting according to the order! Without His Majesty's order, who can arrest me?"
Zhu Biao laughed loudly, "Without the imperial father's will, how could Gu do it! Mao Xiang, if you really cared about the imperial father's will, how would you end up where you are today?"
"take away!"
Guo Ying escorted Mao Xiang down, and then sent someone to escort Li Shanchang to the north. After hearing that Mao Xiang had been captured, Li Shanchang burst into tears.
Facing the direction of the East Palace, he bowed tremblingly... "Your Highness is wise!"
Chapter 759 Li Shanchang's Choice
It was Zhou Huiniang, the commander of Jin Yiwei, who escorted Lao Li to the north.
After so many years, this former Zhou family, the oiran lady of Yangzhou City, has become the de facto second head of Jinyiwei. It can only be said that in this magical land of Daming, anything can happen.
Zhou Huiniang was meticulous and arranged everything properly, and did not make Lao Li suffer any grievances. Even after passing the border of Shandong, Li Shanchang's spirit was much better than before, with more smiles on his face, and he could eat a big bowl every meal .
It doesn't look like a prisoner at all, but it's a bit like going out to play and relax.
"Li Xiang, you are quite at ease!"
Li Shanchang said with a smile: "Without an official, the old man has long been tired of fame and fortune. Now the superior just removes me from the position of left minister. The Korean prince is still here, and he can return home safely, enjoy the family relationship, and have children and grandchildren around his knees. How many people can't wait for the blessing!"
Zhou Huiniang nodded with a smile, "Li Xiang is indeed ancient... See what you mean, even if someone asks you to come out of the mountain in the future, you won't agree to it, right?"
Li Shanchang didn't even think about it, but just smiled lightly: "This old man is in this position. Can I still get back together? The crown prince dismissed the old man. If the old man comes back, can he still store it easily? Nothing will happen. Now, the old man is left to enjoy his life in peace."
Li Shanchang smiled again: "But don't worry, the old man will not be depressed, let alone depressed. I still want to live a good life and live a long life. If I leave, won't they be very lonely?"
Zhou Huiniang said with a smile: "You are talking about them, can you tell me who they are?"
Li Shanchang blinked, and suddenly smiled: "Did I say it? Why don't I remember? I am old! I am confused!" The old fox got up and walked under the grape arbor in the courtyard, looked up for a while, and muttered He murmured: "When I get home, I will also plant grapes in the yard... Grapes are good. They can be eaten as fruit and can also be used to make wine. The old man must make the best wine and send it to the big guys when the time comes. One serving!"
Li Shanchang laughed, full of pride.
At this moment, someone suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Li, thank you for your kindness, I can give me double servings of this wine!"
Li Shanchang didn't even need to look back, he knew the person too well, so Li Shanchang turned his head and walked into the room without even looking at him.
That's right, it was Zhang Ximeng who came. Seeing that Lao Li still had a temper, he didn't care. Instead, he said to Zhou Huiniang, "Thank you for your hard work. Let me have a chat with Li Xianggong."
Zhou Huiniang nodded, and she backed out.
In the small courtyard of the posthouse, only Zhang Ximeng and Lao Li were left in the house.
Zhang Ximeng walked in with big strides.
"Brother Li, your way of hospitality is indeed beyond the past."
Li Shanchang turned his head angrily, and said angrily to Zhang Ximeng: "How to treat guests? You deserve it too! Zhang Ximeng, what did you promise me back then? A person must be true to his word in order to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. The crown prince came forward and dismissed the old man. You didn't do it! But the crown prince is your student, and your wife, she also participated, and the rest of them are almost all your former staff... Zhang Ximeng, you are really good!"
Li Shanchang gritted his teeth, burning with anger, "You ran to Tongzhou to intercept me, were you afraid that I would say something to the superior? With ulterior motives and ulterior motives! Zhang Ximeng, this old man will fight to the death with you, and we will die together!"
Faced with Lao Li's scolding, Zhang Ximeng was really speechless.This is not to say that what Li Shanchang said makes sense, it is because they are too familiar with each other. Old Li is rolling around and talking nonsense. Zhang Ximeng really has nothing to do. He can only wait for Old Li to vent his anger before Zhang Ximeng pours him a cup of tea. .
"Drink it, moisten your throat, and then scold!"
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and took the purple sand tea cup in his hand, but he didn't drink it, but suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Zhang Ximeng, you don't have to humiliate such a down-and-out phoenix like this old man, just tell me, you plan to trick me out of it." what news?"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "Brother Li, you are very wrong. You have a lot of secrets in your stomach, but I am not interested in many. I have no plans to start a big prison. In fact, what I value most is You are a man. Look at you, you are getting stronger and stronger with age, and you are getting hotter and hotter, you must be a rare talent."
Li Shanchang rolled his eyelids, and said with a sneer, "Zhang Ximeng, don't give me the ecstasy soup. This old man has already carefully considered. I'm already useless, and I have nothing to offer. You don't want to treat me like a child!"
Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "Brother Li, you are wrong, how come there is no place? Think about it, Hua Yun went to Ryukyu to be the governor, and your status is far above him. I will give you the governor of Korea, or the governor of Japan. It makes sense!"
Snapped!
Before Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, Li Shanchang was so angry that his beard pouted.
"Zhang Ximeng, do you want to marry me, don't you? Do you want me to die in a foreign land? What enmity do I have with you? Why are you so vicious? Zhang Ximeng, check your conscience, how much infamy have I done for you these years? Do you do the dirty work? Leave all the hard work to me. You are a sage yourself, are you worthy of this old man?"
The more Li Shanchang talked, the more wronged he became, and he was about to cry.
Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to smile wryly, and could only wait for him to speak dryly, lower his head to drink water, and then Zhang Ximeng said, "Brother Li, I asked you to be the governor, not a distribution! And have you forgotten? You are a Korean citizen." ah!"
"Korean public? What's wrong with Korean public?"
"In the past, Goryeo was known as Sanhan. Isn't it a matter of course that the land of Sanhan should be entrusted to you, the Duke of Han?"
Li Shanchang was slightly taken aback. He was initially named Duke Xuan, but later changed to Duke Han. It seems that Zhang Ximeng decided on this title.
Lao Li suddenly realized a possibility!
"Zhang Ximeng, have you considered this old man from the beginning, right? At that time, you have thought about it, and you are planning to kill him!" Li Shanchang sneered: "Zhang Ximeng, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Let me put it this way, even if you plan Seriously, the old man is not a pawn, at worst I will hit my head to death right now, and I will make your calculations come to naught!"
Zhang Ximeng really didn't expect that this Li Shanchang has such a temper, this person has no official position, and there is really no good way to break the jar.
"Brother Li, listen to me a little more... At the beginning, His Majesty promised to build a country overseas. For example, Fang Guozhen found a lot of islands outside, and all of them were included in their Fang family's property. Hua Yun is also there Running Ryukyu is for the benefit of future generations. If you are willing to be the governor of Korea, I can promise you that one day, you will seize the throne and pass it on from father to son."
Li Shan was taken aback, "The throne? You are talking nonsense!"
Zhang Ximeng said: "What nonsense! Didn't I make you a King of Lu? So what can you do if you're a King of Han? As long as you're not in the Central Plains, it's up to you, can't you figure it out?"
Li Shanchang was even more surprised, "Zhang Ximeng, you won't lie to the old man, will you?"
"Hey, my brother Li, you are the king of Korea, and from now on, Korea is the world of the Li family. Li's Korea, it is reasonable, and it is natural to respond to people!"
Zhang Ximeng is really not talking nonsense. It seems that Koryo is really coming to an end. If there is no accident, Li Chao will be next.
But who stipulated that Li Chao must be Li Chenggui, not Li Shanchang?
It doesn't make sense!
"Brother Li, in a word, do you want to be promoted one step higher, and do you want to leave a legacy for your descendants?"
Li Shanchang swallowed, suddenly lowered his head, and poured tea.
He needs to calm down, this news is a little too scary.
It has to be sorted out from the beginning.
First of all, the matter of establishing a country overseas is not fake, and there are indeed precedents to follow.Even if Huayun can manage Ryukyu, it doesn't seem to be a big problem for him to manage Goryeo.
And even though he was dismissed, his title is still there, the Duke of Han also said so.
Looking at his body again, Lao Li thinks that he can last ten years, so there is no big problem.
