Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 11 Li Shanchang: It’s hard to be the prime minister!
Chapter 11 Li Shanchang: It’s hard to be the prime minister!

Li Shanchang's premonition came true.

However, after a few days, he found that his hunch was still conservative.

There is no official panic here, the whole Ming Dynasty is beginning to be in turmoil.

After all, the edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang this time was that the chief sealer should die and the deputy with a hundred canes should be sent to the army.

You know, an official, let alone the level of "chief seal", is the level of the chief official of a party.

Even if he is a "deputy", he can still raise a family.

After all, the "tax exemption for those with meritorious status" clause alone provided by Zhu Yuanzhang was enough for all the people to donate land and attach it to the name of the gentleman.

Not to mention, these officials involved are top scholars.

In addition, whoever can be an official does not have relatives, friends, disciples and old friends?

Now that a disaster is approaching, in order to save one's life, isn't it just a matter of resorting to strange tricks?

Therefore, during this period of time, Yingtian Mansion was in chaos.

The guards of Jin Yiwei were like hyenas, carrying the list handed over by Li Shanchang and Li Dacheng, and went out everywhere to arrest them.

Moreover, they had no intention of covering up at all. They rushed to various government offices and even officials' homes in broad daylight and arrested people without any explanation.

Anyone who talks too much or shows any sign of resistance will be punished by picking up the scabbard and covering his head and face with a beating.

If the prisoner's family members were smarter and could send a "sincerity" quietly, they wouldn't mind taking care of them.

They didn't dare to release him or anything like that, but they promised to make the prisoner live a little more comfortably and suffer less torture.

So during this period, officials one by one were arrested, and their families began to lose money. The entire Ming Dynasty officialdom was in turmoil.

Many people had no intention of doing anything because no one knew whether a group of vicious gangsters would rush in and take them prisoner.

And it was during this process that Li Shanchang's reputation was involuntarily affected.

Of course, he didn't need to worry about being implicated, but those royal guards kept saying that they were "arrested according to the list submitted to His Majesty by Prime Minister Li."

You didn’t just shout this once or twice!

This time, the yellow mud fell down on his crotch, and it was him instead of him.

After all, when he led a group of censors to investigate the case at the Ministry of Household Affairs, he didn't hide it.

This is great, Wuyang Wuyang's disciples, old friends, and officials' families came to the Korean government one after another.

They all wanted the same thing, and they asked Prime Minister Li to show his favor.

On the one hand, these people seek medical treatment in a hurry, but on the other hand, they also have a tendency to break things.

You, Prime Minister Li, came to power, and my master was still supporting me. But you came to power, and you just tricked people to death. Isn't this a bit boring?

In addition, some of the officials involved were actually under Li Shanchang, so the shouts were even louder.

Even some officials who were fellow Huaixi villagers also quietly passed on the message under the supervision of others.

"Master Li, it's normal for you to raise a flag, but you can't fight with your own family!"

"If you want to do something like this in the future, just say hello. Can we still stop you?"

There was a hint of consideration for Li Shanchang in his words.

But Li Shanchang almost vomited blood when he heard these words.

This... this... I was also tricked!Who would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would draw a sword against him if he disagreed.

It's obviously just some "hidden rules" that are normal in the officialdom.

I originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would take this matter to beat everyone up.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang directly overturned the table.

This time I have been tricked.

The family members of the prisoners, who begged their grandfather and grandma to tell them that they had no way to go to heaven or to the earth, are now clinging to Li Shanchang and not letting go.

After all, among the officials who can come forward to save people now, Li Shanchang is undoubtedly the most powerful, so naturally he also has the greatest hope.

But Li Shanchang had faced Zhu Yuanzhang directly. He tried it out as soon as the list was handed in that day, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately refused.

Even later, when Li Shanchang was annoyed by a few people who were really related to each other, he actually tested Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude again.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still polite to him, did not give him any face, so he scolded him on the spot.

So, in desperation, Li Shanchang was forced to have no choice.

Simply, he stayed behind closed doors and simply hid in his house pretending to be sick.

Facing the ups and downs outside, he was so anxious at the moment that he had no idea at all.

At the same time, the Hu Mansion on the other side was peaceful and peaceful.

It's not that no one came to look for Hu Weiyong, but they didn't even see Hu Weiyong, so they were fooled by Hu Yi and left.

Not to mention that Hu Weiyong had already made an explanation, but after Hu Weiyong retired, he didn't even say a word of greeting while he was recuperating. At this time, he came to the door. Do you expect Hu Yi, Butler Hu, to look good on others?
Housekeeper Hu didn't add insult to injury. He kept saying "Sorry, it's a pity", but in fact he didn't even move his butt and had no intention of informing or introducing anyone.

Anyway, it's just one sentence, "My master is no longer the prime minister, but just a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. His words are slight and his intentions are weak!"

As soon as these words came out, the few people who came to the door knew that this road was dead.

After Hu Yi sent the person outside the door in a polite manner, he stared at the door and closed the door again. After giving a few more instructions, he walked around in circles to the backyard and watched as he rolled in the powder for a few days. He began to ask softly to his master who was exerting his strength under the pond.

"Master, the guests have been sent away, but this matter won't involve our family, right?"

Hu Weiyong chuckled and shook his head: "You! Keep your heart in your stomach!"

"If I were still the prime minister, sir, even if I wasn't involved, I would still be in dire straits."

"But now, sir, I'm just a Hanlin bachelor who gets an empty salary and has never even been to a government office!"

"No matter what the fuss is about outside!"

"Anyway, let's just close the door and live our lives!"

"If it doesn't work, sir, if I give you another seal, I'll even resign this Hanlin bachelor!"

"Without an official position, one has to be light-hearted. Your Majesty, you can't involve me in this matter!"

Hu Yi smiled and gave a thumbs up when he heard this. He must be so good.

Look at the decisiveness of this rapid retreat. I heard that there are people making trouble in the Korean government mansion every day.

If my master didn't retreat, wouldn't it be his own house that was causing the trouble?

Hu Weiyong accepted the flattery of his official family with a smile, turned around, gripped the fishing rod tightly, and continued to live his life leisurely.

There was one thing he didn't say, where did this go? The empty seal case looked powerful, but it was just the beginning!
