Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 276 Li Shanchang resigns, Lao Zhu's level

"Second brother, are you a lot more courageous? You even dare to talk to me like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi, showing the majesty of the emperor.

The majesty of the emperor and the seriousness of the father, the superimposition of the two identities, is quite oppressive to Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi was very scared!
Really scared!
He is just a child who has not yet grown up.

What is the second prince, what is the king of Qin...

The source of these identities is all the man in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang.

do not be afraid!
This is the battlefield, the more afraid of death, the more likely to die.

Su Jing's voice sounded in Zhu Xi's mind, and Zhu Xi kept recalling it.

Yes, don't be afraid!
Zhu Yu secretly cheered himself up.

He looked directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's staring eyes and said, "Father, my son is just expressing his attitude."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, and continued to stare at Zhu Xi.

The monarch and his son just stared at each other for a while, until a summons sounded:
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Korea is asking to see you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Second brother, go back, I won't do anything to Su Shi, but there is one thing, you must maintain this attitude in the future, remember that you are the king of Qin, and you will help your elder brother guard the frontier in the future, understand? ?”

"Yes, Royal Father, I understand."

Zhu Xi nodded, and then left Fengxian Hall.

Soon after, Li Shanchang appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The old minister sees His Majesty."

As soon as they met, Li Shanchang immediately knelt down towards Zhu Yuanzhang, but it seemed that his body was not in good condition.

"Be good, let's get down, what are you doing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Even though he had only asked Liu Bowen about the candidate for the next prime minister not long ago, facing Li Shanchang now, it was as if this had never happened.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shanchang got up slowly, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been ill recently and has been unable to take on the position of Prime Minister Zuo. Please allow the old minister to resign and recuperate from his illness."

Li Shanchang is here to resign.

His demeanor is low and his manner is reverent.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not express any attitude towards Li Shanchang's resignation at the first time.

He just said: "Shanchang, look at this Su Jing who is in charge of improving firecrackers in the Baoyuan Bureau recently, should he be arranged for some other errands?"

What did Su Jing do, or what kind of official position was given.

Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't think about this matter.

It is not good to give it too low or too high, after all, it is to fight against the Huaixi Xungui Group.

As the leader of Huaixi Party, Li Shanchang can give the most pertinent suggestion.

As for the opponent, he naturally knows where Su Jing is, and he is the most able to check and balance himself.

Li Shanchang immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Uncle Renyuan is talented and far-sighted, and he is competent for any position in the court."

Li Shanchang didn't accept the move, and came directly to Tai Chi push hands.

Su Jing is very strong and can do anything.

It's like saying nothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang, and said lightly: "Is it okay to be Prime Minister Zuo?"

Since Li Shanchang refused to accept the move, Zhu Yuanzhang simply accepted it.

Didn't you come here to resign today? I'll let Su Jing be Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?
Prime Minister Zuo, that is a position of less than one person and more than ten thousand people. One of the important reasons why Huaixi Group can have a great influence in the court is that Li Shanchang occupies the position of Prime Minister Zuo.

Prime Minister Zuo, Zhongshu, assisted the emperor in handling state affairs.

On some major issues, Prime Minister Zuo's opinion was not even weaker than that of the emperor.

The emergence of the prime minister system is actually to prevent the emergence of fatuous emperors.

In the feudal dynasty, the emperor, as the supreme ruler, affects the life and death of all people in the world with his words and deeds.

If the emperor is wise, then the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, but the emperor is not selected on the basis of merit, the prerequisite is blood.

No one can guarantee that every emperor is wise. If the emperor appears a mediocre or even a tyrant, the world will be chaotic.

In this way, the prime minister system came into being.

The prime minister represents the pinnacle of the courtier's power and assists the emperor in governing the world.

If the emperor is fatuous or cruel, then the prime minister has the obligation to stand up and help the world to go on the right path.

However, the original intention of the establishment of the system often becomes different during the development process.

Since the emergence of the prime minister system, the struggle between monarchy and prime minister has never stopped.

Most of the founding emperors are powerful, and the monarchy is unique at this moment, and the prime minister is more like a messenger.

With the change of emperors, some emperors with weak personalities and mediocre talents appeared among the successors, and then the power of the prime minister will rise at this time.

In some dynasties with weak monarchs and strong ministers, the prime minister can even decide the candidate for the throne.

But no matter what dynasty it is, the prime minister is always a very important position, and the candidate for the prime minister position often means the general direction of the court situation.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang's seemingly random words really startled Li Shanchang.

If Su Jing becomes Prime Minister Zuo, with his intelligence and ability, there is no one in the Huaixi Group who can check and balance.

Could it be that His Majesty is going to attack Huaixi Xunguiji now?
Li Shanchang's cold sweat broke out suddenly, but it took only a moment for him to understand that this is impossible.

Even if Su Jing was named Renyuan Bo, but above the court, he was still in a lonely state.

If he becomes Prime Minister Zuo, not only the people in the Huaixi Group will not agree, but other officials will also not agree.

A guy who suddenly landed in the air directly became Daming's Prime Minister Zuo.

Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid that no one will agree.

Whether it is etiquette or human relations, there is no such possibility.

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why, Shanchang, do you think this is impossible?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice suddenly sounded, and he looked at Li Shan with a smile on his face.

Li Shanchang immediately said: "The position of the prime minister is of great importance. Your majesty has made a holy order, and the veterans dare not try to figure out the holy will."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised and said: "What? Now that I know that the position of prime minister is very important, why did you say so firmly when you resigned just now? Is your body unwell? I really didn't see it."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Li Shanchang immediately knelt down: "The old minister dare not, the old minister's health is indeed ill, and the imperial physician has also diagnosed and treated him, and he never dared to deceive His Majesty."

Li Shanchang would never dare to pretend to be sick.

Although this disease did come at just the right time.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the nervous Li Shanchang and said: "Shanchang, you don't have to be so nervous, I just said it casually just now, but I still have to trouble you for the position of prime minister."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely do his best to never disappoint His Majesty's trust."

Li Shanchang immediately assured Zhu Yuanzhang.

In a few words, Li Shanchang's resignation was brought over by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is impossible to know whether Liu Bowen's suggestion worked or whether Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to change the prime minister in the first place.

Anyway, according to the current situation, neither Wang Guangyang nor Hu Weiyong has the chance to be Prime Minister Zuo of Ming Dynasty for the time being.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Li Shanchang with a smile and said, "Shanchang, that's right, work hard, this Ming Dynasty still needs your strength, do you have any ideas about Su Jing's position?"

After turning around, Zhu Yuanzhang brought the topic back to the original starting point.

When Su Jing entered the court, what position did he have to take?
Although the current Su Jing did not agree to enter the court, Zhu Yuanzhang would not reveal this information in front of Li Shanchang.

At this time, Li Shanchang did not practice Tai Chi any more, he thought about it carefully and said: "I think that Uncle Ren Yuan should start from the position of Zhongshu Province. With Mr. Su's ability, it is not too much to give a political advisor."

Zhongshu Shen Zhizhengshi, Cong Erpin official, the main duty in the Zhongshu Province is to be a consul, to participate in government affairs, and his status is under the left and right.

Hu Weiyong held this position for a short time, which is a very important position.

It can also be regarded as one of the positions that must be experienced to advance towards the prime minister.

In this wave, Li Shanchang's suggestion definitely cannot be regarded as suppressing Su Jing, and it is overestimated that he is a senior member of Cong Erpin when he speaks.

Moreover, it is an official position of Zhongshu Province, very close to the political center.

However, it is unrealistic to say that Li Shanchang has no ideas of his own.

The current Prime Minister of Zhongshu, that is, Prime Minister Zuo is him, and Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu is Hu Weiyong.

This position in Zhongshu Province is above that of being a political advisor. If Su Jing really became a political advisor as suggested by Li Shanchang, then both Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong would be Su Jing's bosses.

In this way, it is much more convenient to restrain Su Jing.

"Shen Zhizhengshi, Shanchang, you are really thoughtful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Li Shanchang's thoughts, he understood.

The position of being a political adviser is quite wonderful. It is true that since Li Shanchang manages Su Jing, it is easier to control what matters, but at the same time, many things cannot be bypassed by Su Jing.

This is tantamount to giving Su Jing a chance to catch them.

A double-edged sword, this position is quite suitable for both Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang.

To be able to be a prime minister under Zhu Yuanzhang's hands must have two brushes.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, the old minister just wants to share your majesty's worries."

Li Shanchang lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the respectful Li Shanchang in front of him, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he said: "Okay, go back if you have nothing to do, and rest more if you are weak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and the old minister will leave."

Li Shanchang soon left Fengxiandian.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the office chair again, and he dismissed the matter of Li Shanchang.

"One by one, it's really worrying!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly, only feeling tired.

In such a huge Ming Dynasty, how many people can really share his worries?

Everyone has a small thought in their hearts. Zhu Yuanzhang allows them to have their own thoughts, but the premise is that this thought will not endanger the stability of Ming Dynasty or the dominance of the old Zhu family.

"Come on."

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, and then several Gongwei Lang appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

No, the current Gongwei Division has been renamed to the Pro-Army Duwei Mansion, and these Gongwei Lang have also become pro-army captains, both in terms of official positions and status have risen a lot.

"Go and check King Qin's soap business, who are you doing it with?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still very curious about Zhu Xi's accounts. Those strange big orders really didn't seem like normal business.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The pro-army captain immediately took orders and went to investigate directly.

……

Prime Minister's House.

Li Shanchang just came back, and he was still quite concerned about what happened just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang is beating himself.

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Shanchang coughed violently.

His body is really very sick.

But now that Zhu Yuanzhang talked about this, Li Shanchang didn't dare to say that he was sick anymore, and he still had to do what should be done.

At this moment, Li Shanchang couldn't help but think that Liu Bowen might be the luckier one just like Liu Bowen.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were quite a few officials who died from overwork and died directly on the job.

Li Shanchang is 15 years older than Zhu Yuanzhang, which is not too young.

Although he has lived a long time in history, Li Shanchang at this moment does not know that he can live that long.

The death of so many colleagues still made him feel a little sad about his own fate.

After all, no amount of power can compare to one's own survival.

At the moment, Bowen Liu has already boarded the carriage in the Chengyi Mansion, ready to go to the Baoyuan Bureau.

Zhu Yuanzhang issued the lobbyist's order, and Liu Bowen, the lobbyist, wanted to complete this matter whether he wanted it or not.

Liu Bowen was very disturbed, but also very excited.

He wasn't sure if he could complete Zhu Yuanzhang's lobbying mission, but it was a great gift for him to see Su Jing again.

"Father, everything is ready, can we go?"

The driver was Liu Bowen's son Liu Lian, because the matter of going to Baoyuan Bureau to meet Su Jing was very important and needed to be kept secret.

The housekeeper is not allowed, only Liu Bowen's son Liu Lian is here.

"Lian'er, let's go."

Liu Bowen replied.

The carriage started driving quickly, and slowly passed in the direction of Baoyuan Bureau.

The speed was not fast, because Liu Lian knew that his father's health was not very good, and the bumps were not good.

When Liu Bowen goes out, it will naturally attract the attention of many people.

But there was no one in this group, except the pro-military captain who followed secretly all the way.

After all, it was the task assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the arrangement was strict.

On the carriage, Liu Lian asked Liu Bowen, "Father, what kind of person is this Mr. Su?"

Although Liu Lian is Liu Bowen's son, he was not by Liu Bowen's side before. It was after Liu Bowen resigned that he decided to come from his hometown.

It was only over a month before Liu Bowen was here.

Liu Lian had already heard a lot about Su Jing, but his father Liu Bowen never talked about Su Jing with him, which made Liu Lian very curious.

However, Liu Bowen didn't say anything, he was very sensible and didn't ask more.

Now that he was about to set off to find Su Jing, Liu Lian felt that there was nothing wrong with asking.

Liu Bowen opened the door curtain in front of the car, and said calmly: "Mr. Su, he is the most powerful person my father has ever seen in his life. No, Mr. Su should not be said to be powerful. I can't use any ordinary words to describe Mr. Su. "
