Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 345 The Shadow of a Man, the Name of a Tree

"Okay, I'm home, you two can go."

At the gate of the Niu Mansion, Su Jing said to the two servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion who sent him here, his body was still a little swaying.

After the two servants bowed and saluted, they turned and left.

As the gate of Niu Mansion closed, Su Jing's body straightened in an instant.

Today's drink, for Su Jing, is not enough to get drunk.

But if you want to leave the prime minister's mansion, you still have to find some reason.

Getting drunk is the best excuse.

"You really deserve to be the Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty."

Su Jing smiled slightly, seeming to be a little self-deprecating about her behavior today.

Li Shanchang was kind all the way, it seemed that he didn't say anything or do anything.

But in fact, Li Shanchang has always maintained a fairly appropriate sense of distance.

I obviously went there with some tentative purpose, but the other party never lost the right to speak.

The top official of Ming Dynasty thought he was high enough, but unexpectedly he was underestimated.

However, Su Jing didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, this kind of hypocritical trick is just a means.

The strength behind it is the real support.

Li Shanchang, whether he is the Duke of Korea or the prime minister of Ming Dynasty, is extremely honorable in Daming.

Su Jing, the Renyuan uncle, seems to be far away from him.

However, these positions or the power represented in the false name were actually given by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Not to mention that all feudal dynasties are dominated by the emperor's family, and one person can decide the life and death of all civil and military officials. After all, some emperors themselves are too weak.

But in Lao Zhu's case, he is the master of absolute power.

How about the founding heroes?
How is the Duke?

How is the prime minister?

As long as Lao Zhu doesn't want you to live, then you can't live.

Su Jing wasn't even afraid of Lao Zhu, let alone Li Shanchang.

Of course, it is also true that I did not get the answer I wanted from Li Shanchang.

Judging from today's situation, there is a high probability that there will be no results if it is clarified.

"Forget it, I don't want that much anymore."

Su Jing shook his head, he already wanted to go back to Lishui County.

That night.

Prime Minister's House.

Hu Weiyong came here again, Su Jing met Li Shanchang, as soon as he knew about it, he came over immediately.

This is not a trivial matter, Li Shanchang has never targeted Su Jing, but he, Hu Weiyong, has done it.

"Weiyong, your news is quite fast."

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong without any surprise.

Although Hu Weiyong never said anything about Su Jing, Li Shanchang could guess something.

Running to Zhu Liangzu's place every day, it can't be nothing.

"I always have to pay more attention to Su Jing's affairs."

Hu Weiyong did not beat around the bush, but directly pointed out the purpose of his visit.

Su Jing!

Su Jing, who has officially entered the palace, is completely different from the previous situation.

If there were other possibilities before, then the current Su Jing is destined to become a major opponent of Hu Weiyong in the future.

There is no way, Su Jing's status in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is already known to everyone.

Moreover, Su Jing not only has a high status with Zhu Yuanzhang, but also has an irreplaceable status with Prince Zhu Biao.

Su Jing is still so young, once he really enters the court, he will be the foundation of the two dynasties.

And Su Jing does not belong to the Huaixi Group at all, but has a good relationship with several heavyweights of the Huaixi Group.

Hu Weiyong was really vigilant.

"Ah!"

Li Shanchang chuckled lightly and said, "It's quite vigilant, not bad."

Hu Weiyong bowed and said: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister is absurd, but Weiyong just doesn't want everything we have worked so hard to create to fall into the hands of others."

These words tied up Li Shanchang.

But there is nothing wrong with it, Li Shanchang is different from Xu Da, he is now the leader of the Huaixi Group, and he had too much competition with Liu Bowen before.

Even if Li Shanchang wants to retire in the future, he will be tied to the big tree of Huaixi Group.

"Weiyong, you are wrong, I am old, and I have everything I should have."

Li Shanchang shook his head with a smile, as if to show that he had no intention of fighting for power and profit.

Hu Weiyong immediately complimented: "The prime minister is open-minded, but the prime minister is the minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Su Jing has some minor achievements, how can he compare with the prime minister?"

"A little work?"

Li Shanchang looked into Hu Weiyong's eyes, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Li Shanchang knew a lot of what Su Jing did.

Some Lao Zhu has announced, and some have not.

Hu Weiyong's words, even if it was a compliment, were too much.

But Hu Weiyong didn't change his face, nodded very seriously and said: "This matter depends on who you compare it with. If you compare it with the Prime Minister, those Xu Xiaogong Weiyong think there is no problem."

The highest level of flattery is to convince yourself that what you say is correct.

Only in this way can you keep your face from blushing and your heart beating, and you can keep your eyes open and talk nonsense.

Of course, Li Shanchang's contribution to Daming is absolutely serious.

Su Jing and Li Shanchang are actually not two existences that can be compared.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these things. I'm afraid I won't hear them again after I retire. I can't bear it."

Li Shanchang waved his hand, seemingly casually, but nodded to Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong was so alert, and immediately said: "Where did the prime minister say, Weiyong treated you with sincerity and sincerity, it has nothing to do with where the prime minister is, even if the prime minister is just a commoner, Weiyong is also your student, yes Your subordinate."

This show of loyalty has gone too far.

But Hu Weiyong's face is so thick, when he said this, he didn't have any uncomfortable expression, as if everything was true.

Li Shanchang smiled, even though he knew it was a lie, it still sounded good.

"Almost done."

Li Shanchang said lightly.

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Hu Weiyong immediately shut up and said no more.

Although he came here to ask about Su Jing, when he should not speak, he would not speak.

Li Shanchang said: "Su Jing came to my house today and visited my garden. He said that my garden is very similar to the Lion Grove."

Ok?
Hu Weiyong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Li Shanchang to say this suddenly.

Doubts arose in his heart, but he still suppressed the doubts in his heart and waited for Li Shanchang's words.

Li Shanchang continued: "Previously, His Majesty asked me to go to Lishui County to investigate Su Jing because of some things. I didn't find out any problems, but there is one thing, Su Jing has never been to Suzhou Mansion."

!!!

Hu Weiyong was shocked and said: "Master Prime Minister, you mean that there is something wrong with Su Jing's previous experience?"

The place where the Lion Grove is located is Suzhou Mansion. If Su Jing has never been to Suzhou Mansion, then he must have never seen the Lion Grove.

In this case, how did Su Jing know what the Lion Forest looks like?
So Hu Weiyong's first thought was that there was something wrong with Su Jing's experience.

Li Shanchang shook his head and said: "No, Su Jing's experience is fine, His Majesty's spies will not make mistakes."

Li Shanchang has great trust in Lao Zhu's information collection ability.

There must be no problem with Su Jing's resume.

"Then this..."

Hu Weiyong was a little confused.

Since Su Jing has never been to Suzhou Mansion, how did he know about the Lion Forest?

It can't be what the listener said.

The Lion Grove is a very exquisite garden, and it is difficult to describe its beauty in words.

Especially the rockery maze among them is even more ingenious.

Hu Weiyong doesn't know what's going on now.

Li Shanchang said lightly: "Perhaps Su Jing has seen it somewhere else."

Since Su Jing could predict Chang Yuchun's death and remind him, it seems that it is not impossible to see the Lion Forest without going to Suzhou Mansion.

"Prime Minister, forgive Weiyong for being dull, it is really incomprehensible."

Hu Weiyong cupped his hands towards Li Shanchang and asked, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "Weiyong, Weiyong, you always say you remember what I said, but in fact you haven't really listened to it."

"what?"

Hu Weiyong was startled, and immediately said: "Please tell the prime minister clearly what Weiyong did wrong."

Hu Weiyong is quite satisfied with his actions, and has always adhered to the principle of low-key and cautious.

Before Li Shanchang could speak, Hu Weiyong reacted: "Could it be Su Jing!"

Among all the things, the only thing he did was more radical, that is, the only thing about Su Jing.

"Thank you for remembering."

Li Shanchang said lightly: "I told you a long time ago that Su Jing is not an ordinary person, you just don't believe it."

"Let me tell you, Su Jing probably did it on purpose when he said that my garden looks like a lion forest today."

Li Shanchang did not believe that Su Jing would not know the loopholes in this matter.

Therefore, there is only one possibility, and that is on purpose.

Hu Weiyong was stunned, and suddenly felt that everything was out of his control.

No, it wasn't there in the first place.

"Weiyong remembers."

Hu Weiyong didn't justify anything, what happened can't be changed anymore, accept it and keep it in mind.

Regret is the most useless thing in the Great Ming Dynasty, because when you regret it, you die, and Yang Xian is the best example.

Li Shanchang nodded, and Hu Weiyong was very satisfied with this.

Blindly looking for reasons for yourself is completely immature.

"Weiyong, do you know what else Su Jing said to me?"

Li Shanchang said again.

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Weiyong would like to hear the details."

Li Shanchang said: "Today Su Jing fed my fish. He said that no one is smart about this fish. They will not be satisfied when they are full, and they will continue to eat. If they keep feeding them, they will die of hunger."

"Do you know what Su Jing means?"

Hu Weiyong was startled, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Su Jing's remarks are a bit too much, how dare you compare us to fish, or fish that are dying!"

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "Then do you think what Su Jing said is right?"

Li Shanchang, the current helm, knows the current situation of Huaixi Group best.

The power is getting bigger and bigger, with both civil servants and military generals.

In the entire Great Ming Dynasty Hall, there are various positions, and even occupy many high positions.

Such Huaixi Group has become the largest group in the Ming Dynasty Hall.

If there are more people, there will naturally be more chaos.

There should not be too many things about using power for personal gain, it cannot be banned at all.

Li Shanchang sometimes feels powerless, and his control over the people below becomes weaker and weaker.

This is also one of the reasons why he wants to retire, to protect himself wisely.

"What does the prime minister mean, that you want Weiyong to sever his arms?"

Hu Weiyong did not answer Li Shanchang's question directly, but instead asked rhetorically.

This comprehension ability is quite good.

Li Shanchang said: "Why, you don't have the courage to cut off the wrists of a strong man?"

Although the two of them didn't say it clearly, the meaning was obvious. The Huaixi Group had already become too big to lose.

Li Shanchang, the old controller, couldn't make much change.

After all, they are all my old acquaintances, some words are difficult to say, and some things are inconvenient to do.

But if it's old and new, the change is natural.

At that time, some necessary measures can be implemented, and those who should be dealt with can also be dealt with, and those who should be warned should be warned.

Only in this way can Huaixi Group be more stable.

"Weiyong will never back down!"

Hu Weiyong immediately expressed his attitude.

Just kidding, such a question can be answered without even thinking about it.

Even if Li Shanchang didn't say it, he would definitely do it himself.

Once he takes office, he will always find some reason to promote his cronies, but there are only so many positions, and the court is so big.

Hu Weiyong is still very clear that he cannot do the thing of one party dominance.

That being the case, the only way to replace some people is within one's own group.

Li Shanchang's words now gave him an extremely legitimate reason.

"Okay, I sure didn't misread you, Weiyong."

Li Shanchang nodded, very satisfied.

Of course he knew what Hu Weiyong would do with this, but he was about to retire, and he couldn't still occupy the original power without giving up.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very wary of the power of his subjects.

Hu Weiyong also directly expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Weiyong will always be your subordinate official."

"Weiyong, you did something to Su Jing before."

Li Shanchang asked.

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Prime Minister, Weiyong was confused at the time, this matter is like this..."

"Need not."

Li Shanchang directly interrupted what Hu Weiyong was going to say: "You did the thing, I know it doesn't make much difference whether I know it or not, I trust you, I just tell you, it's best to clean up the tail, and don't be traced."

These words are very beautiful, and it seems that they trust Hu Weiyong very much.

But in fact, Li Shanchang just didn't want to get involved.

After all, Su Jing's prediction ability really shocked Li Shanchang too much.

With such ability, Zhu Yuanzhang still trusts Su Jing so much.

If Su Jing wants to deal with someone, it's just a matter of a few words.

Regarding Yang Xian's matter, Li Shanchang has also investigated it, and it has an inseparable relationship with Su Jing.

Whether this is Su Jing's operation, no one knows.

cautious!

Li Shanchang only wants to spend his old age in peace, but he can't make trouble at this juncture.

"Weiyong understands!"

Hu Weiyong was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously.

Now he has completely remembered Li Shanchang's words in his heart, and he is a little afraid of his previous hasty behavior.

To remove the tail, Li Shanchang didn't need to remind him, he would do it.
