Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but regret a little. After the craftsmen were arrested, Mao Xiang hinted that he should kill less, but he did not urge him to kill quickly. If he had known that Li Wei would be as powerful as he is today, he might not have done so. If you are proactive, you can even delay it for a moment or two to save the lives of those craftsmen.

But the matter has come to this, people cannot be resurrected after death, and he can only go to the dark side in one way.

"Then who's going?" Tang Duo asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Zongyi immediately raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd. However, everyone's eyes dodged, obviously not wanting to show off.

Honorable nobles are all reckless men, and you have never dealt with them in the past. If they come to ask for help now, even if your interests are aligned and things can work out in the end, you will inevitably have to be ridiculed and looked down upon by these reckless men in the process.

Du Ze and Liu Zhongzhi were both ministers who had just taken office, and they were not very enthusiastic about the position of minister. Today, they came to Zhang Zongyi with the idea of ​​​​having dates but not having dates. It didn't matter, the other people had no reason to step forward, and even Zhao Ben was a little hesitant.

Zhang Zongyi sighed slightly in his heart, and finally his eyes lingered on Zhao Ben and Zhao Jun for a moment. Zhao Ben was an official like him and had a high status, while Zhao Jun was more active in this matter than him.

After pondering for a moment, he finally chose Zhao Jun.

"Then let Master Zhao and I go. What do you think, Master Zhao?" Zhang Zongyi said softly.

Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, then let me let you go with Lord Shangshu!"

Hearing Zhao Jun happily agreed, everyone else secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Ben couldn't help but relax.

After deciding on the candidate, everyone immediately became active again, expressing impassionedly that they must work together to bring down this traitor Li Wei!

After some impassioned talk, everyone dispersed, and Zhang Zongyi and Zhao Jun quickly took action.

In the Korean government palace, Li Shanchang is cultivating a relationship with his concubine.

He took his concubine after he arrived in Beijing. She was eighteen years old, as beautiful as a flower, with a graceful figure and a well-behaved and obedient wife.

Under the attack of the 500-guan betrothal gift, the concubine's service attitude was very enthusiastic. She twisted her slender waist to pour tea, wine and fruits for Li Shanchang, and smiled sweetly from time to time.

Li Shanchang had a kind face, enjoying his concubine's service comfortably and not caring about money at all.

Five hundred guan is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but it is nothing to him. His annual salary for the title alone is 4,000 dan, plus other titles and rewards, five hundred guan is enough. A normal pocket change.

As the second hero of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang's reward for him was not unimportant. He said that the size of the mansion he now lives in is second only to the royal palace and much larger than Li Wei's consort's palace.

However, these were not enough to satisfy him. In addition to glory and wealth, he also wanted power and became a famous prime minister that will go down in history. However, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to give it. First, he got Liu Ji to challenge him. Later, when it seemed that it didn't work, he simply So he drove him back to his hometown.

I think that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone revered him regardless of the ministers or generals. However, when he returned to the court after being adopted for a few years, things had changed. His opponents were gone, and his confidants were gone. There are some nobles who have some friendship with him.

As for Li Wei, Zhao Ben and Zhang Zongyi, they are not familiar with him. Zhao Ben and others are okay and respect him, but Li Wei is different. This newly emerged young man has some abilities. He behaves aloof and arrogant, relying on the emperor's favor and trust, and dares to offend anyone.

Sometimes he also felt very puzzled, how could someone as paranoid as His Majesty put so much faith in such a reckless young man? If other people had behaved this way, they would have died hundreds of times!

If Li Wei knew about his comments, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. He is aloof just because he is a homebody, and his arrogance is not directed at anyone, but treats everyone the same.

While Li Shanchang was cultivating a relationship with his concubine and thinking about Li Wei, a servant hurried in and reported:

"Sir, Mr. Zhang, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Mr. Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, are asking for an audience outside the house."

When the concubine saw the servant coming in, she quickly got up from Li Shanchang's arms and stood aside.

Li Shanchang's face became serious and he asked aloud: "Why are they here?"

"The two adults didn't say anything." The servant said respectfully.

Li Shanchang narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart. Even if these two people didn't say anything, he knew why they came. He also knew about Xue Xiang's resignation. As one of the people who knew Zhu Yuanzhang best, he certainly understood what was going on. At this juncture, Zhang Zongyi brought the minister of the Ministry of Industry over, with an obvious purpose.

"Oh, tell them that the master is not feeling well and will not see guests today." Li Shanchang said coldly.

Zhu Yuanzhang brought him to the capital just to put him in front of his eyes and make him be honest. Of course, he couldn't take the initiative to get involved in these things.

"Yes!" The servant bowed in response and was about to go out to see the guests off. Li Shanchang pondered for a moment, and then suddenly stopped him: "Wait!"

The servant immediately stopped and waited for his instructions.

Li Shanchang called him in front of him and whispered a few words softly.

"do you understand?"

"I understand, little one!"

The servant nodded repeatedly, then turned and walked out.

Outside the door of the mansion, Zhang Zongyi and Zhao Jun were waiting in front of the door.

They chose to visit Li Shanchang first after careful consideration. Needless to say, Li Shanchang's influence among the nobles was more important. He was a civil servant after all and knew more etiquette than those military generals. Even if they disagreed, they would not let them get too carried away. Embarrassing.

After waiting for a while, the servants of the house hurriedly came out, came to the two of them and said, "I'm really sorry, my master is not feeling well and it is inconvenient to see guests today."

When Zhang Zongyi and the two heard this, their hearts sank, and they understood that Li Shanchang was unwilling to intervene.

"I wonder what's wrong with you, sir?" Zhao Jun asked unwillingly.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. I just drank a few too many drinks with Marquis Yongchang and others yesterday, so I'm a little tired." The servant said with a smile.

Zhao Jun frowned slightly, not knowing whether his words were true or false.

Zhang Zongyi pondered for a moment, but his heart moved, and he cupped his hands and said: "In that case, I won't disturb Mr. Han's rest, and I will take my leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Zhao Jun.

"Why can't this Korean man get up after drinking too much at this time? Is he hiding away on purpose?"

After walking away, Zhao Jun couldn't help but complain.

Zhang Zongyi smiled: "It doesn't matter, let's just find someone else."

"Hey, but who else is more suitable than him?" Zhao Jun sighed.

"Haha, think about which honorable person has the deepest grudge with Li Wei?"

Zhao Jun paused and said suddenly: "Yongchang Hou Lanyu?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Zongyi also stopped and said softly: "Although this Korean gentleman refused to see guests, he mentioned Marquis Yongchang again. Isn't this clearly reminding us to find Lan Yu."

When Zhao Jun heard this, he nodded slowly, and then sneered: "Oh, this Korean gentleman is really good at being a man, and he can use a servant to spread the word to himself!"

Zhang Zongyi chuckled lightly and didn't say much. However, in his opinion, now that the servants of Li Shanchang's family have spoken, it is not that easy for Li Shanchang to completely cut off the relationship.

"Is it possible to just rely on Lan Yu's words?" Zhao Jun asked worriedly.

Although Lan Yu is also a marquis and can speak on this matter, he has been punished by His Majesty several times before, and was later imprisoned by Li Wei. Even if he is willing to try his best to help, I'm afraid he won't be enough. .

"Isn't that servant just now 'Yongchang Hou and others'? Of course it's not Lan Yu. We can visit a few more." Zhang Zongyi paused and then said meaningfully: "When we arrive, we will say that we are here to visit first. Mr. Han, I learned about everyone drinking together from him."

Hearing this, Zhao Jun looked at him in shock.

He is going to find someone in the name of Li Shanchang! (End of chapter)
