The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 492: There is a way to die! There is a way to die!
On the canopy.

Inside a tall and deep hall.

The emperor sat in the middle seat with his eyes slightly closed.

No one knows what he is thinking.

Your Highness.

A handsome official with flowing beard stood on the left with a calm expression.

A burly man with a full beard stood on the right with sharp eyes.

……

[Xu Da was the prime minister at the same time as Li Shanchang.]

[Xu Da had the highest military achievements, but he was ranked second to Li Shanchang and served as the right prime minister.]

【In fact, Xu Da did not care about the affairs of the Secretariat.】

[The only person who really “managed” Zhu Yuanzhang was Li Shanchang.]

【Li Shanda monopolized power and made enemies with his colleagues.】

[The person he least gets along with is Liu Ji (Liu Bowen)]

[Liu Ji's official title was "Zhongcheng Yushi and Taishi Ling"]

……

{Liu Ji is quite handsome, his nonchalant attitude shows that he is calm and composed!}

{…The one opposite is Liu Bowen…}
{! The one who looks similar to Zhang Fei is Liu Bowen! ? }

{Well, his son said he had a long beard and bright eyes...}
{Zhang Fei's face, Kong Ming's talent.}
{Fuck, I always thought Liu Ji was a tall, thin, handsome guy!!!}

……

Ji Han.

"What do you mean!"

Zhang Fei was unhappy!

"What you're saying implies that you don't like my looks, right?"

"I am a great man!"

As he spoke, he stroked his beard proudly.

"Except my second brother! Whose beard can be more beautiful than mine!"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Guan Yu, who was slowly stroking his beard, and twirled the beard on his chin.

On the other side, Liu Bei touched his bald chin.

He glared at Zhang Fei who was completely clueless, and then touched the two small mustaches on his mouth.

……

[In 1370 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang left Nanjing for a northern tour and ordered Li Shanchang to stay in Yingtian, authorizing him to do whatever he pleased.]

[Li Shanchang had a subordinate, Li Bin, who was a clerk in the Secretariat, who was convicted of corruption and sentenced to death.]

[Li Shanchang appealed to Liu Ji for favors, and Liu Ji sent people on horseback to Kaifeng to petition Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on tour, to punish him.]

[After obtaining permission, Li Bin was beheaded.]

[In the first month of the following year, Li Shanchang retired and returned home. In March, Liu Ji also retired.]

[Left chancellor Wang Guangyang was appointed as the right chancellor of the Secretariat, and Hu Weiyong was appointed as the left chancellor of the Secretariat.]

……

Ming Dynasty - Renzong Period
"It's a pity for Liu Bowen, he is so talented."

Zhu Zhanji felt a little regretful.

"This is the man Taizu himself called 'my Zifang'."

The fat emperor, who was sitting in a chair with his hands in his pockets, chuckled.

"Then Cao Cao also said this about Xun Yu."

"And then they both had the same fate."

"If Liu Ji was really a wise counselor, he should have found a way to retire in time if he was not given the position of prime minister after the empire was settled."

"There are many vivid examples in history where counselors could not always keep themselves safe."

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, then he walked forward, squatted in front of Zhu Gaochi and asked:
"Dad, why did Emperor Taizu only confer the title of Marquis of Chengyi on Liu Bowen?"

"From the Battle of Longwan, the Battle of Anfeng, the Battle of Jiangzhou, the Battle of Poyang Lake, all the way to the Battle to Destroy the Yuan Dynasty."

"Liu Bowen is the mastermind."

Zhu Gaochi glanced at him and said calmly:
"Didn't you tell me the reason?"

"What Emperor Taizu thought of or didn't think of, Liu Ji thought of for him."

"How can such a person get away with a suspicious monarch?"

……

[Although Li Shanchang, the leader of Huaixi, left the center of the empire, he was not willing to give up. ]

[In 1372 AD, he wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang to inform him that he had recovered from his illness and hoped that he would be given a chance to continue serving the country.]

[Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to supervise the construction of a palace in Fengyang and create another imperial city.]

【Li Shanchang was unwilling to accept this.】

[He is only 59 years old, he can still shine! ]

[He learned that Zhu Yuanzhang was very optimistic about Hu Weiyong, and Hu Weiyong happened to be from Huaixi.] [So, Li Shanchang wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang to recommend Hu Weiyong]

……

The period of Cao Wei and Emperor Ming
Cao Rui was chewing a peach, looking speechless.

Build the imperial city?
He was nailed to death in Fengyang.

Zhu Yuanzhang told Li Shanchang this clearly.

You should give up the idea of ​​returning to Kyoto.

And staying in Fengyang hometown means that you will be safe if you don't move rashly.

Don’t you understand this?
He threw the peach pit away and wiped his hands with the towel.

"That's a good way to die."

……

[The appearance of Hu Weiyong allowed Li Shanchang to find a new spokesperson for the Huaixi Group and also his successor.]

[Soon after, Hu Weiyong married his niece to Li You, the second son of Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi.]

[In this way, the relationship between the Li and Hu families became closer.]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"You are indeed seeking death."

Li Longji was well aware of the disaster of having too much power as a prime minister.

But I actually want to keep the phase consistent...

"No emperor would tolerate this kind of existence."

Then there are only two solutions.

The first is to eliminate the clique members, and the second is to eliminate the prime minister.

Li Longji has seen through everything.

"The party has a large number of followers, and will not be cut off as long as there are officials."

"So, Zhu Yuanzhang must start with the prime minister!"

Yang Yuhuan didn't quite understand what he said, but vaguely understood:
"Like Emperor Wu of Han?"

Li Longji stroked his beard and nodded.

"Yes."

"It is known that a single prime minister can easily become too powerful to be controlled."

"If we have multiple prime ministers to check and balance, someone outstanding will seize the power of other prime ministers, and it will still be difficult to get rid of the tail."

"In this case, the best way to keep the prime minister from gaining power is to constantly change him!"

"This move by Emperor Wu of Han is a bit of a loss."

"But it works!"

Yang Yuhuan touched her temples.

"Then why not abolish the position of prime minister?"

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! My beloved princess is so adorable!"

"Abolish the Prime Minister?"

"All the responsibilities of the country belong to the six ministries, and the responsibilities of the six ministries belong to the Secretariat."

"Without the Secretariat, all matters of the world would be piled on the emperor's desk."

Li Longji looked at the sky, with a smile on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

"Whose family lost a chicken? Whose family stole someone."

"No matter how trivial the matter is, the emperor must carefully observe and judge it."

“You don’t understand how much work this is.”

"I'll tell you."

The emperor slowly calmed down and said to the imperial concubine seriously:
"You will die. Really. You will be worked to death."

……

[Hu Weiyong was from Huaixi. He was devoted to befriending Li Shanchang and gradually became the core of the Huaixi group in the court.]

[In contrast, Wang Guangyang, the right prime minister who was not from the Huaixi group, was much lonelier, drinking every day and not taking care of business.]

[Hu Weiyong's position was lower than Wang Guangyang's, but he "made decisions on provincial affairs"]

[In June 1373, Hu Weiyong accused Wang Guangyang of having "nothing to offer"]

【Wang Guangyang was demoted to be a councilor of Guangdong Province.】

[In July, Hu Weiyong was promoted to Right Prime Minister and Chen Ning was appointed as Imperial Censor and Tu Jie as Imperial Censor-in-Chief.]

[Soon after, he was transferred to the post of Left Prime Minister, and took charge of the government affairs of the Secretariat as he deserved.]

【Since Li Shanchang retired, the position of left prime minister has been vacant. 】

[Although Xu Da also held the title of Right Prime Minister, he was a cautious person and he led troops outside for many years, so he just occupied the position but did not take care of government affairs.]

[In this way, Hu Weiyong became the sole prime minister in the true sense.]
