Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 134 You are such a genius at pretending to be confused

"Please don't blame me, Lord Han. My father has just drunk a lot of wine and has gone to bed. I'm sorry I can't receive you."

Wang Buli was really surprised by Li Shanchang's visit.

The person sitting in front of him now is the first meritorious official of the Ming Dynasty.

People praise Liu Bowen every day, but in fact Liu Bowen did not do as much for Zhu Yuanzhang as Li Shanchang.

Moreover, it was not Liu Bowen who proposed to build high walls and store up grain to slowly declare himself king, but the scholar Zhu Sheng.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang’s previous advisers were all those who failed in the imperial examinations during the Yuan Dynasty and could not even pass the exam to become a Jinshi.

Most of them are of the same class as Zhu Yuanzhang's old brothers.

However, the scholars represented by Liu Bowen who later joined the Yuan Dynasty were members of the rentier class of the Yuan Dynasty.

The two parties did not get along from the very beginning.

The continued conflicts that Zhu Yuanzhang had actively instigated had turned into an internal struggle that could not be escaped. The party fighting would not stop unless everyone was killed.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Shanchang had a very good judgement on Wang Buli's appearance.

In addition, this boy is good at solving cases and must be a meticulous person. It is reasonable that he can be appreciated by the emperor.

Even though he had followed Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, he could not guess what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

Especially after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, his thoughts became even more difficult to guess.

At this time, Li Shanchang still had not given up the idea of ​​entering the officialdom, and had not given up his fantasy about Zhu Yuanzhang, because he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, and also wanted to govern the world and realize his own ambitions.

Therefore, Li Shanchang just watched Hu Weiyong's actions coldly, waiting for His Majesty to take action to deal with him.

Hu Weiyong asked his own brother to persuade Li Shanchang, but Li Shanchang was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Who the hell is he to use me as a knife?

Perhaps it was because the impeachment of that coward Wang Guangyang failed that made Hu Weiyong even more arrogant.

Compared with Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang is superior to him in terms of both seniority and achievements.

If Li Shanchang suppressed Wang Guangyang, Wang Guangyang would really have nothing to say.

However, Hu Weiyong was Li Shanchang's follower and actually became Wang Guangyang's immediate superior. As the factional struggle became extremely tense, Wang Guangyang took the lead and impeached Hu Weiyong.

As a result, Wang Guangyang was kicked away by Zhu Yuanzhang and the impeachment failed.

Now Hu Weiyong actually wants to use Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang is not a coward like Wang Guangyang who dares not do anything again after failing just once.

"Has the Korean man eaten yet?"

Wang Buli didn't understand Li Shanchang's intention, so he had to talk about something else for the time being.

"I have eaten. I heard that His Majesty has granted you a marriage, so I specially brought my son to meet you in advance.

After all, I have quite a bit of experience in Princess Shang's wedding preparations."

Hearing this, eldest brother Wang Guanzhong was extremely excited.

The redness on his face due to the wine became more and more obvious.

Korean dude!

Which scholar in the Ming Dynasty doesn’t want to become the Duke of Korea?

Although Hu Weiyong is now the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of everyone, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Li Shanchang.

But Wang Buli didn't think that Li Shanchang came simply to tell you and condescended to make friends with you.

For a politician like him, most of his words and actions are hidden, and he is not comfortable telling others about his thoughts.

"That kid thanks Mr. Han for his advice."

Wang Buli personally poured tea for Li Shanchang to express his gratitude.

Li Shanchang looked at Wang Buli's words and actions and found him to be very calm and not anxious.

This is very different from his son who was so excited when he found out he was going to be a royal consort that he almost walked sideways.

Li Shanchang had to admire his old superior's sharp vision. He had his own unique insights on selecting and killing people.

Even though Li Shanchang had told his son Li Qi to keep his head down before he came, the difference in their backgrounds still made Li Qi look down on others.

To be honest, Li Qi was not satisfied.

I, Li Qi, am the first meritorious official of the Ming Dynasty and the eldest son of Duke Hanguo. My family has a red-lettered iron certificate issued by the emperor.

As a result, with my family background, I married the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and was punished by my father-in-law not long after the marriage.

The Wang Buli in front of us is the second son of a doctor.

What contributions did his father make in the process of helping Your Majesty unify the Ming Dynasty?

No!

As a result, he happened to marry the emperor's eldest princess.

Such biased behavior.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son-in-law, Li Qi was naturally very dissatisfied.

However, due to his father's face, he couldn't say much, for fear that his father would get angry and make his father's condescending behavior fail to achieve the good effect.

"Hey, from now on we are all one family, how can we have different opinions?"

Hearing the family's words, the smile on Wang Buli's face became even wider.

Except for the two legitimate sons of Li Qi's lineage, almost all the people in the three clans were killed. Who would want to be a member of your family?

When Zhu Yuanzhang kills people, he doesn't care whether you have an iron certificate or not.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, this iron certificate was actually no different from Sima Yi's oath sworn by the Luo River.

It’s all about the superior taking off his pants and shitting.

But now these nobles all believe that the iron certificate of immunity from death can really save them from death!

Zhu Yuanzhang never denied that Li Shanchang was the first meritorious official in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He was skilled in rhetoric and knowledgeable in history, handled government affairs and made decisions fluently, and mobilized troops and transferred funds without any shortage.

He restored the policy of making coins, monopolizing Huai salt, establishing tea laws, opening iron smelting, setting fish taxes, etc. In addition, in the second year after Li Shanchang's death, the great talent Xie Jin wrote a memorial on Li Shanchang's behalf to appeal for justice.

Zhu Yuanzhang surprisingly did not blame him because it was not Li Shanchang he wanted to kill.

Li Shanchang was so old. Even if he succeeded in his rebellion with Hu Weiyong, he could only be considered the first meritorious official. Was it necessary?

He had already achieved it once in the Ming Dynasty.

But Li Shanchang was involved with many people. Even though he was over seventy years old, Zhu Yuanzhang had to kill him for the sake of the stability of the Zhu family's imperial power.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not sure whether Li Shanchang had expressed the same life regret as Li Si before his death, "How can I get to the East Gate with my dog ​​on my lead?"

"Dad, I suddenly need to go to the bathroom."

Wang Guanzhong immediately stood up and said, "Prince Consort Li, please follow me."

When there were only two people left at the table, Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said:

"Did you offend the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong?"

"Hmm?" Wang Buli put down the teacup in his hand: "Where did the Korean public language come from?"

"Otherwise, why would he send my brother to ask me to write a letter to oppose your marriage?"

"Will the Korean public opinion be useful?"

Wang Buli couldn't tell whether this matter was true or not.

But he knew that Li Shanchang died because of the Hu Weiyong case.

But that was many years after Hu Weiyong's death, when the case was expanded and the 70-year-old Li Shanchang was implicated.

At present, the two of them are the two leaders of the Huaixi Group. It is difficult for him to judge whether they are of the same mind.

Besides, Wang Buli was certain that this was an order from Zhu Yuanzhang, so would it be of any use if others objected?

Li Shanchang did not look old at all. He leaned back in a bamboo chair and looked at Wang Buli:

"Not everyone is qualified to use me as a knife."

The most crucial thing is that Li Shanchang knew that the emperor had punished many ministers for this matter, so it could be said that no matter who opposed it, it would be useless.

Unless one of the married man and woman dies.

However, Li Shanchang also knew that the emperor would definitely deploy a large number of people around the Wang family to ensure Wang Buli's safety.

"Oh?"

Wang Buli nodded and said, "I have never offended Prime Minister Hu. Moreover, because I solved the counterfeit money case, Prime Minister Hu invited me to his mansion for a luxurious dinner, arranged my future, and even found someone to act as a matchmaker for me to marry the concubine's daughter of the Marquis's mansion."

"Hahaha."

Li Shanchang couldn't help laughing out loud, and in his heart he couldn't stop admiring Wang Buli for being so good at pretending to be ignorant despite being so young!

It turns out that the root lies here!

Your Majesty made a move earlier and directly appointed Wang Buli as the son-in-law, which made Hu Weiyong's plan fail. He was so angry that he asked all the ministers to persuade him and asked me to speak up.

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and exclaimed: "You are really a genius at pretending to be confused. It is reasonable for His Majesty to value you."

"I don't understand what Lord Han said."

"Yeah!"

Li Shanchang looked at Wang Buli drinking tea by himself and nodded. Just this intelligence alone was enough to defeat his son.

He is a person worth cultivating.

"I do have some experience in being an official. Do you want to listen?"

“I’m all ears.” Wang Buli bowed again.

"Everyone wants to ascend to the throne at a young age, but many times they fail and are schemed against by those below them."

Li Shanchang was just a minor official in the county government during the Yuan Dynasty, and it was difficult for him to get promoted.

"You are now the focus of the world's attention, and there are many people who want to harm you. How can a commoner like you become the emperor's son-in-law?"

Li Shanchang touched the cane in his hand and said: "Even my son doesn't understand, but twenty years ago, most of the civil and military officials in the court were of commoner origin.

Our generation hasn't even grown old yet, but this trend has already appeared in our second generation descendants.

I once suggested to Your Majesty that Emperor Gaozu of Han rose from the common people and was able to appoint the right people to the right positions. Unlike Xiang Yu, he did not kill people indiscriminately and was able to establish his empire in just five years.

If the ruler could emulate Emperor Gaozu of Han, the world could be easily pacified.

Now that the world has been pacified, our meritorious descendants think they are superior to others, alas."

Wang Buli just listened quietly and he found that old people all loved to reminisce about the past.

But listening to Li Shanchang's words, Wang Buli clearly felt that he was implying something about Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What Duke Hanguo said is very true." Wang Buli flattered.

Li Shanchang had a smile on his face. He had also been a minor official, so he naturally understood that it was normal for Wang Buli to speak without thinking.

As for your superior, say something he wants to hear and agree with him, then curse him behind his back, calling him an idiot for having his power stripped away by a petty clerk like you.

Slippery.

However, such people will not suffer any harm if they work in official circles.

"Do you want to be a high-ranking official in another place?"

"No." Wang Buli put down the teacup in his hand:

"I was actually quite surprised to be the consort of the emperor. It would be nice if I could be an idler from now on, but I believe that the emperor today does not support idlers."

He appointed many of his sons to serve as fiefs in other places, but he did not treat them like pigs, but gave them different roles.

"Good good."

Li Shanchang became more and more satisfied with Wang Buli's answer.

He always felt that this boy was extremely sober and did not seem like a young man.

Some people, seeing them once is truly believing.

"Do you know about the Empty Seal case?"

"know."

"Do you know why His Majesty suddenly got so angry?"

"It is because the people below are collectively deceiving Your Majesty."

Wang Buli gave a standard answer.

"Not entirely." Li Shanchang leaned forward slowly and said in a low voice:
