Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 281 Zhu Yuanzhang read the actual records and had a heart-to-heart talk with Li Shanchang!

Li Shanchang's face immediately darkened after hearing this.

Although he was willing to persuade Zhang Cheng to take the risk, he himself was not willing to take the risk!

However, Li Shanchang did not expect that people like Zhang Zhong would come to persuade him to do this so soon.

Li Shanchang soon realized that someone might be instigating Zhang Zhong and others to do this, so that he could test whether Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power was strong or not!
This will be beneficial to the people behind the scenes, no matter what the outcome of the temptation is.

Because if Zhu Yuanzhang is unwilling to compromise with him, the head of civil servants, he will be dismissed or eliminated, which will naturally help the people behind the scenes to ascend to power.

And if Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to compromise, it will be equivalent to saving Yan Shenggong and the face of Confucianism. It is equivalent to the imperial power compromising to Confucianism, and the imperial power has compromised to Confucianism, then the imperial power will definitely also compromise to Yuan Ting in the future. Compromise with the old system and compromise with the Confucian scholars.

Notice.

Many landlord class bureaucrats and scholar-bureaucrats in the world dreamed that Zhu Yuanzhang could inherit the old system of the Yuan Dynasty. They even hoped that it would be best for the new dynasty to maintain the old system of the Yuan Dynasty and at the same time, like the emperors of Zhao and Song, rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, no matter what the ending is, in Li Shanchang's opinion, it will be beneficial to the people behind the scenes.

But Li Shanchang has never been an impulsive person, nor is he stupid.

After all, he was the only one who plotted against others, but now because Zhang Cheng suddenly didn't show up, others plotted against him instead!
But now there are many civil servants waiting to replace him in Datong Society, so Li Shanchang was not sure who it was for a while.

Zhang Zhong and Tao An couldn't help but be happy when they saw this, and they all hurriedly bowed to Li Shanchang with their hands in hand.

He knew that he could not refuse. If he refused, he would definitely offend the scholars all over the world.

Tao An also said eagerly: "Yes, Yuan Fu, Confucian scholars all over the world hope that you can achieve such a great virtue!"

Li Shanchang's face didn't look very good, and he was even furious.

But Li Shanchang didn't expect that someone would use the same methods he wanted to use on Zhang Cheng on him!

if that's the case.

"It's an urgent matter, don't hesitate!"

Therefore, he knew that if he offended Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he gained a great reputation, he might not be able to enjoy the benefits of this good reputation.

"Motosuke!"

All Confucian scholars in the world want his life at all times.

And as Tao An said, if he just intercedes for Kong Kejian, the Duke of Yan, even if he fails to save Kong Kejian, as long as he protects Kong Kejian enough, he will accumulate a great reputation among the scholars all over the world, and then the scholars all over the world will start to respect him. He, a Confucian scholar who was not even a Jinshi in the former Yuan Dynasty, would gain great prestige in the Confucian community and be able to compete with the imperial power.

Li Shanchang actually came to Prince Wu's Mansion next and met Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Zhong saw that Li Shan had been silent for a long time, so he hurriedly raised his hand and began to make his speech again.

Li Shanchang sighed slightly.

So, Li Shanchang just said: "I will go and see the superior right now!"

After Li Shanchang arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang: "What is Shanchang doing here?"

"Ascend!"

"I want to sue Hanlin scholars Zhang Zhong and Tao An for trying to force me to form a party with them, and together they dissuade the superiors from punishing Kong Kejian, so that Confucianism and Taoism can take precedence over legal principles!" However, after Zhu Yuanzhang asked him this, Li Shanchang said He directly complained to Zhang Zhong and Tao An, and after saying so, he said:

"I think we should immediately ask the Yushitai to arrest them and hold them accountable!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Li Shanchang said, he just pointed at the chair next to him: "Sit!"

"Thank you!"

Li Shanchang raised his hand and said yes.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was flipping through the "Records of Ming Taizu" in front of him, and said to Li Shanchang with a smile:
"You are so good. We are old brothers who have worked together for many years. Don't be so polite in front of me in the future. When Mr. Zhang comes to my place, I don't need to say anything. Just find a chair and sit down without restraint. Instead, you, Obviously, because of your age, I should call you brother, but as a result, you always act like a coward in front of me. You don’t know, but you thought that Zhu Yuanzhang stopped treating his brothers as brothers after he became the queen.”

"How dare I compare with Mr. Zhang?"

"The boss is joking."

Li Shanchang smiled and replied.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly so polite to him and said that he should call him brother. It was obviously because he would rather betray Zhang Zhong, Tao An and others than confront Zhu Yuanzhang tit for tat. This made Zhu Yuanzhang happy, so he Deliberately appearing so approachable.

After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang really regarded him as his elder brother, then why was he so polite before, but Zhu Yuanzhang accepted it calmly?

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately refuted Li Shanchang in an unquestionable tone.

"You can beat it!"

"Without Mr. Zhang, only you, Li Shanchang, would be able to conquer the world!"

Li Shanchang couldn't help but tremble.

He could tell from Zhu Yuanzhang's tone that Zhu Yuanzhang really valued and appreciated him.

Therefore, Li Shanchang suddenly felt a little excited in his heart.

It was only after Zhu Yuanzhang began to read the "Records of Ming Taizu" that he discovered that Li Shanchang had made so many contributions to his Ming Dynasty in a world without Zhang Cheng.

However, what made Zhu Yuanzhang sigh was that Li Shanchang, who was as similar to Xiao He in that world to him, did not have a good death during his tenure as emperor.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang had just become King of Wu, he was a little unwilling to believe that he and Li Shanchang would actually reach this point.

But now that Zhu Yuanzhang has read the sacred books given by Zhang Cheng, he has a clearer understanding of the fate of the politicians in the Jiatianxia dynasty, so he doesn't really think it is impossible.

He now only hopes that he can avoid this kind of cruel internal strife in this life, and try to avoid the sword-to-sword encounter with founding fathers like Li Shanchang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang has read a lot of content in "Records of Ming Taizu", he also knows that the reason why he and Li Shanchang have reached this point may be related to the fact that his prince Zhu Biao died too early in that world, because this led to a very difficult life. The tall Li Shanchang is a big threat.

And now.

When Li Shanchang took the initiative to reveal to him that Zhang Zhong, Tao An and other bureaucrats wanted to coerce him to dissuade him from executing Kong Kejian, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more willing to believe that Li Shanchang did not die well not because he was too cruel, nor because Li Shanchang was too ignorant! Instead, some bureaucrats who tried to restore the old system of the Yuan Dynasty used a conspiracy to kill their eldest son first, and then forced themselves to execute Li Shanchang personally, breaking with the ancestors and nobles, and then they could only compromise with these old Yuan Dynasty bureaucrats. Many of the old systems of the Yuan Dynasty were restored, or in other words, many of the old systems of the Yuan Dynasty had to be retained.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang said this to Li Shanchang, he deliberately said:
"So, we believe that since you said they want to coerce them into forming a clique, then they must be forming a clique. Even if they are our masters now! We will not tolerate it!"
