Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 282 Old Bureaucrat: Mr. Zhang has harmed us!

Zhang Zhong and Tao An looked at the officers and soldiers of the Guard Division who surrounded them, and they both looked at each other in astonishment.

"Why did Li Shanchang do this?"

Zhang Zhong quickly guessed the reason why this happened, and knowing that Li Shanchang must have complained about him and Tao An to Zhu Yuanzhang, he simply stopped hiding his inner discrimination against Li Shanchang and called Li Shanchang by his first name.

Because people like Zhang Zhong and Tao An were descendants of wealthy official families in the Yuan Dynasty, and were even Yuan Dynasty bureaucrats themselves, they were actually discriminating against Li Shanchang, who was a thieves in his early years but was just an ordinary local right-wing scribe. heart of.

But now, after all, Datong Society has won the world, and Li Shanchang is above the official positions of old bureaucrats like them, so they can only hide this discrimination in their hearts.

However, now that Li Shanchang stabbed them in the back, Zhang Zhong no longer concealed it.

Tao An also frowned and said, "I don't know either. Didn't he think about the consequences of doing this?!"

……

"Brother Wei doesn't know what the consequences will be."

"Besides, brother Wei is already wagging his tail to the top."

As Li Shanchang's younger brother, Li Cunyi joined the Chinese Army very early. Since they were all from Huaixi, he had known each other for a long time, and many of them had even gotten married.

Li Cunyi hurriedly echoed, "What my brother is saying is that these people really overestimate their capabilities."

Li Shanchang frowned and asked.

Li Shanchang told Li Cunyi: "Send hello to the Yushitai and ask them to find out who instigated Zhang Zhong and Tao An to coerce me."

"But what Brother Wei knows is that if I really stand up for them and the Kong family, the first one to be punished by the superiors will definitely be our Li family!"

Li Shanchang sighed after hearing this: "Well, it seems that it is completely impossible for brother Wei to use Mr. Zhang to test the superior. He can only be a dog for the superior."

"Why not yet?"

Li Cunyi said at this time: "But we have also harmed Zhang Zhong and the others. Brother, do you think they will force their superiors to deal with us because of this?"

"Even if Mr. Zhang shows up, it won't help."

Li Shanchang chuckled: "I wish they could force them to take over, so that I can know who is hiding behind the scenes and trying to take advantage of me!"

Finished.

"Even the superiors know that my brother is a great man who can help him achieve great things without Mr. Zhang! How can they underestimate me as a brother!"

Li Cunyi's expression darkened: "No!"

Li Cunyi couldn't help but said: "Our people began to secretly place a large reward, but we did not find out any information about Mr. Zhang."

"So, I would rather offend these old bureaucrats than offend the superiors and make them hate our Li family."

After Li Shanchang came back, he also told Li Cunyi about selling Zhang Zhong and others, and the reason why he did so, and said with a sneer:
"And these people, who can't even protect the Yuan Dynasty they support, still want to plot against their brothers, it's really ridiculous!"

Li Cunyi raised his hand and said yes.

Li Shanchang then said a few words with a wry smile, and then sighed:
"Mr. Zhang is really hurting my brother!"

Therefore, as long as Li Cunyi greets him like this, Zhang Tianyou and Shao Rong will betray the Li family's favor and will not protect the two Confucian officials Zhang Zhong and Tao An.

Li Shanchang asked Li Cunyi at this time: "Is there any news about Mr. Zhang?"

However, the news of Zhang Zhong and Tao An's imprisonment soon became known to Yang Xian and other officials.

For this reason, Yang Xian immediately came to Liu Bowen, talked about the matter, and said: "Teacher, what should we do now?"

"We didn't expect Li Shanchang to do this!"

Liu Bowen couldn't help but said in a deep voice.

"It should be said that the first thing you and I didn't expect was that Mr. Zhang would suddenly hide himself, and no one except the superiors might know his whereabouts!" Song Lian started talking at this time.

Liu Bowen couldn't help but nodded: "Yes! Mr. Zhang suddenly disappeared when the Northern Expedition was about to succeed, and then suddenly appeared again, but it was after the superiors changed the title of Grand Master to him, and then disappeared again, so we had to take the next step. Let Li Shan take the lead."

"But who knows, this Li Shan is cunning and cowardly. He would rather offend us than offend his superiors. Now, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Tao have been imprisoned for questioning."

Yang Xian clenched his fists and added.

Liu Bowen looked at Yang Xian at this moment: "There is no solution to this situation except Mr. Zhang's intervention!"

“I don’t know where Mr. Ke Zhang is yet!”

Yang Xian spoke anxiously.

Liu Bowen said meaningfully: "Although we don't know, the superiors should know."

Yang Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded and said, "The students know what to do."

"Although you know, you need to be cautious when doing this. You should not do it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"None of us can be sure whether the superior will really protect his own family and compromise with the Confucian scholars in the world, just like Li Shanchang is not sure, so he still chooses to betray us!"

Liu Bowen was busy trying to dissuade Yang Xian.

Song Lian also said: "Yes! We don't dare to take anyone's life, but the superiors dare to take anyone's life!"

"Why don't you dare?"

"It's really urgent. What happened in Yuan Ting Palace is not impossible to happen again!"

Yang Xian said calmly at this time.

Liu Bowen couldn't help being surprised and asked Yang Xian: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't forget, the superiors have inspections!"

Liu Bowen reminded.

Yang Xian said: "I don't mean anything else. I just feel that in the future, if anyone among the scholars cannot tolerate Li Shanchang's arbitrary power and chaos in government, he is afraid that he will do something that will make the country have only weak leaders and have to purge the powerful ministers in advance!"

"It would be better if the higher-ups heard this, so that the higher-ups don't know that some people are crazy about getting rid of traitors, and will use even the king and prince as pawns, and even use their sudden deaths to make a fuss!"

"Having said that, don't forget that there is not only a son who is in charge, but also an eldest nephew who has been studying with Mr. Zhang for a long time!"

"If someone really dared to do this, the higher-ups would be sad, but I'm afraid it wouldn't have much impact on the current situation."

Song Lian spoke at this time.

Yang Xian nodded after hearing this: "Yes, I almost forgot about him!"

"So Mr. Zhang is the real master!"

"I've been on guard for a long time!"

"There is no need for those treacherous people who are afraid that internal fighting will not be fierce enough to do this."

Liu Bowen frowned and spoke.

Song Lian then nodded: "It's admirable! But this also shows that Mr. Zhang really did not intend to preserve the Yuan system, so he did not teach Zhu Wenzheng in a direction that would disappoint the superiors from the beginning. This also made the superiors not disappointed by the emergence of the prince. And he wants to get rid of his eldest nephew."

"That's all, Mr. Zhang is a Daozu, and we are just fish. Let's see how Mr. Zhang lets his superiors deal with us!"

Liu Bowen smiled helplessly.
