Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 324 Dao is different, not conspiracy
Su Jing's words made Yang Xian stunned again.

He couldn't understand it, let alone imagine it.

"Don't enter the court? Su Jing, what do you mean? Don't you know what His Majesty's intention is to confer you as Uncle Renyuan?"

Yang Xian didn't care about being sad and lost, and asked Su Jing directly.

His lifelong pursuit is to rise above the court and reach a higher position. Power is what he has always yearned for.

But Su Jing's words just made him unable to understand.

"What do you mean? It's very straightforward. I'm not interested in being an official, nor have I ever pursued any power."

Su Jing replied lightly: "As for His Majesty's thoughts, I know a little bit, but I really don't want to be an official, so I won't be locked in a prison to reflect."

This is introspection?

Yang Xian was completely stunned at this moment.

"Su Jing, are you saying that His Majesty locked you here just to make you reflect?"

Yang Xian still didn't quite believe it, so he could only continue to ask.

Su Jing said: "Perhaps, that's what I guessed. After all, the last time your Majesty promised me that if I enter the court as an official, you can let me go."

"That's it, that's it, that's it."

Yang Xian started talking to himself, he was in a daze, as if trying to understand something.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

After not saying a few words, he started laughing again, his whole state was a little crazy.

"Yang Xian, what's the matter? Even if you're going to die, it's not like this. Anyway, you used to be the right prime minister of Ming Dynasty."

Su Jing couldn't help but said.

Su Jing, a formidable ancient man, has seen a lot. Although Yang Xian did a lot of stupid or bad things, if he left it in his previous life, he would be a proper 'hero'.

Such a character can't be unsteady, can he?
Before life and death, there was terror, but now he is still in the prison, not the execution ground.

"Su Jing! You say I am like this? You are like this. I know that I spent my whole life just to be able to make a difference in the court. I kept climbing in the officialdom. I regard it as a treasure. To abandon it like a shoe in the eyes, who is wrong with us!"

Yang Xian asked some crazy questions, until now, he still couldn't figure it out.

He had thought about all kinds of possibilities before. Su Jing offended Zhu Yuanzhang, causing him to lose Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, so Zhu Yuanzhang gave up on him.

But until now, he didn't understand.

The reason for everything is Su Jing's reluctance to enter the court, and the begging role is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Su Jing rejected Zhu Yuanzhang and the invitation of Emperor Ming.

What's ridiculous is that he still wants to deal with Su Jing in vain.

Such a gap made Yang Xian unacceptable.

He has searched hard for so long, but in Su Jing's eyes, it is worthless.

"Why? Su Jing, tell me why!"

Yang Xian yelled at Su Jing again, questioning!
Su Jing leaned against the wall and said lightly: "Yang Xian, this is life, four words are enough, you can't ask for it."

"Everyone pursues different things. It seems that what I pursue is a rich and comfortable life. This is probably just a joke in your eyes."

It's not that Su Jing can't understand Yang Xian's excitement now. After all, in the feudal society, it is perfectly normal for capable people to want to be officials, to make meritorious deeds, and to pass on to future generations.

Unfortunately, he didn't think so.

It is different from person to person.

Yang Xian firmly grasped the fence of the cell, looked desperately at Su Jing's cell next door, and said with a sneer: "Su Jing, don't deceive yourself here, if you really only want to live a prosperous and comfortable life, so what? Will you become the prince's teacher?"

"You have done so many things for Daming, and every one of them proves that you are definitely not an ordinary person. You have never hidden your clumsiness. If this is the case, how can you live a comfortable life!"

Yang Xian's words are deafening!

Su Jing leaned against the wall and froze for a moment.

He recalled in his mind what happened when he first met Zhu Yuanzhang.

The first meeting was indeed just a chance encounter, and there was no special intersection, but I just talked too much about the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty with Lao Zhu.

The problem of the royal family's support, if you say it is big, it must be quite big.

But when it really comes time to be unable to support them, the emperor is not a fool, and will definitely carry out reforms.

You can't risk your own throne, but you have to support the collateral descendants who don't know how many generations have passed.

It happened that Lao Zhu was Zhu Yuanzhang who visited privately in Weifu, and that's how everything happened after that.

In fact, Su Jing saw Zhu Yuanzhang's unusual status when he met for the first time, he was either rich or noble.

If you don't keep your mouth shut, things will become what they are now.

Obviously there is a system, but if you really want to live a comfortable life, can't you?
After being said by Yang Xian, Su Jing really reflected on his own problems.

"Su Jing, to this day, I, Yang Xian, have already been doomed to die, but don't think that if you get together with His Majesty now, you will be fine in the future."

Yang Xian sneered and said, "You already have an inseparable relationship with Daming Chaotang, maybe I will meet you down here soon."

Regarding his own destiny, Yang Xian has already accepted it.

But what he is more curious about now is what will be the fate of Su Jing?

The current Daming has become more and more connected with Su Jing. Su Jing's words of wanting to live a prosperous and comfortable life are not enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang let him go.

"Maybe, who knows."

Su Jing said lightly: "Master Yang woke me up today, maybe I don't know what kind of life I want to live."

"After all, people have to walk on the road of constantly pursuing their own meaning. I am also looking forward to what kind of road my life should take."

Although it is said that he was a human being in two lifetimes, Su Jing only lived an extra 30 years in his previous life.

It can be called young and promising, with extraordinary talent.

Plus this life, in fact, not much.

So, in fact, Su Jing is also constantly improving.

"Su Jing, you are really confident!"

Yang Xian joked: "But it's true. At your age, you are already the prince's teacher. At the same time, you have made so many achievements for Daming, and you are deeply loved by His Majesty. It is normal to be more confident."

"It's a pity. I really regret that I can't see your end in the future."

The calm words were full of ridicule for Su Jing's miserable end.

Su Jing said lightly: "Yang Xian, don't use these words to disturb my mind, it's meaningless, what you said is nothing more than my behavior, and I will be suspected by His Majesty in the future, and I will probably end up like you .”

"Unfortunately, even if that day does come, I will never use the so-called trickery to whitewash my wrong behavior like you do today, and deceive my dark heart with the irrelevant right and wrong of political struggle."

"The so-called scheming, the so-called emperor's heart, I understand all these, and I am very clear, but even so, I still choose to stick to my own correct path."

"Even if I will be a loser, at least I have a clear conscience."

Su Jing wasn't too impassioned, even though these words clearly tasted like chicken blood.

But this is what Su Jing really thinks in his heart.

In Daming, he can do a lot, and he knows what to do to make himself stand taller and go further.

However, people always need some persistence.

Su Jing can understand Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior of sacrificing the interests of the people for the sake of the Zhu family's rule, but it does not mean that he thinks this is right, he will advocate this against his own heart.

"Su Jing, anyone can say these high-sounding words, I will wait for you!"

Yang Xian didn't believe what Su Jing said at all, and shouted while grabbing the railing.

Su Jing shook his head: "The ways are different, we don't conspire with each other, the ancients never deceived me."

After speaking, Su Jing got up and patted his clothes, and continued to supplement the details of the world map on the wall.

……

Zhongshu Province.

Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the left, has returned, and everything is back on track.

Zhang Bing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been released, and the construction of the Firearms Bureau has begun in full swing.

Yang Xian's departure did not cause any impact.

Li Shanchang's influence, this is not covered.

Even though she didn't show up in the court for such a long time, once she came back, she immediately handled everything in an orderly manner.

"Prime Minister, as expected, you are the only one who can reassure His Majesty in the Ministry of Education!"

Hu Weiyong said to Li Shanchang, the flattery was quite direct.

Li Shanchang shook his head and said, "Weiyong, don't talk about such nonsense, and do your own job well."

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Weiyong naturally knows that he must do his job well, but Weiyong's words are definitely from the heart. After the incident with Yang Xian, Weiyong understands that only you are the ones that His Majesty truly trusts. right-hand man."

Li Shanchang didn't answer immediately, but just glanced at Hu Weiyong, then continued to bow his head and began to deal with government affairs.

Hu Weiyong immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he stopped talking and assisted Li Shanchang to start work.

After a while, Li Shanchang said: "Weiyong, do you know that trust and suspicion are actually just one step away?"

Hu Weiyong shook his head and said, "Weiyong doesn't understand, so please ask the Prime Minister to clarify."

Li Shanchang said slowly: "On the surface, this time I returned to Zhongshu Province, everything went well, and His Majesty also trusts me as usual."

"But Weiyong, have you ever thought about it? It's been a while since I left the Zhongshu Province. During this time, Yang Xian eliminated dissidents and appointed his confidants. He has already changed the Zhongshu Province."

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "That's why the prime minister's ability is highlighted. No matter how bad the previous mess was, the prime minister can still clean it up quickly."

"Ugh."

Li Shanchang sighed and said: "Weiyong, I quickly cleaned up this mess, but what do you think His Majesty will think? I am far away from the court, but still have such influence. Does Your Majesty think this is just ability?" ?”

At this point, Li Shanchang almost made it clear.

If he did a good job, Zhu Yuanzhang would suspect that he was secretly a partisan, and being suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang basically meant that his political career had come to an end.

Liu Bowen is the best example.

At this moment, Hu Weiyong finally reacted.

"Prime Minister, what do you mean, His Majesty has..."

Hu Weiyong looked at Li Shanchang solemnly, and dared not continue speaking in the middle of the sentence.

Li Shanchang smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, this matter will come eventually, maybe it has already arrived, maybe it hasn't yet, but it will always come, Weiyong, there is not much time left for you."

This is naturally about Li Shanchang's resignation from the position of Prime Minister Zuo. With Liu Bowen's resignation, the balance of power between the Huaixi Group and the Eastern Zhejiang Group has become more and more unbalanced.

Originally, Lao Zhu wanted to promote Su Jing to balance, but Su Jing was not willing to be an official at all.

In desperation, Lao Zhu chose Yang Xian.

It's a pity that Yang Xian is not such a material at all, even under the temptation of power, he fell into the abyss step by step.

If Yang Xian falls, it means that the balance between Huaixi Group and Zhedong Group cannot be maintained completely.

Well, now that Li Shanchang is the leader of the Huaixi Group, it is definitely impossible to sit safely in the position of Prime Minister Zuo all the time.

"Prime Minister, Weiyong dare not."

Hu Weiyong said immediately.

Regardless of Li Shanchang's temptation or other ideas, Hu Weiyong was very humble.

This incident once again let Hu Weiyong see clearly how powerful Li Shanchang is.

This is not only the influence of being Prime Minister Zuo of Ming Dynasty, but also the accumulation of energy accumulated by Li Shanchang as the leader of the oldest member of Huaixi Group.

These are not comparable to the current self.

patience!
Keep being humble!

After all, Li Shanchang is smarter than Yang Xian.

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong's expression, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Weiyong, you will be very courageous in the future, you can't do it all the time."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Hu Weiyong nodded in response.

After a while, Li Shanchang took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Hu Weiyong in front of him: "Look."

Hu Weiyong took it immediately, and opened it to take a closer look.

But as soon as he opened it, Hu Weiyong was stunned, because the document in front of him was clearly Su Jing's confession document.

"Prime Minister, this..."

Hu Weiyong was at a loss and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

After a pause and a light breath, Hu Weiyong said: "Prime Minister, why is this Su Jing's confession in your hands?"

At that time, the confession document was directly handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang by Yang Xian in front of all the civil and military officials in the early court.

Therefore, this confession document should be in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

This is why Hu Weiyong didn't understand.

Li Shanchang said indifferently: "This document is returned together with the papers reviewed by His Majesty. How do you think it should be handled?"

Zhu Yuanzhang approved the memorials, and the reviewed memorials had to be handed over to the various functional departments for execution by the Ministry of Education.

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Your Majesty did this on purpose!"

Li Shanchang nodded and said: "That's right, Your Majesty must have deliberately handed over this confession document to me. What do you think I should do now?"

Su Jing's confession document is quite useful.

Although it was interrogated by Yang Xian, after all, there is Su Jing's personal signature, so it cannot be faked.

After thinking for a while, Hu Weiyong said: "Prime Minister, Weiyong thinks that we still have to return this confession to His Majesty."
