After Lu left with Zhu Yunwen.
Li Shanchang stared at Zhu Yunwen's leaving figure for a while before walking out of the school.
Taixue is connected to a number of government offices.
Li Shanchang walked out,
Li Shan's eldest son Li Qi, who came out of the inner palace, happened to meet Li Shan.
Li Qi was the Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, you can enter and leave the inner palace outside of court meetings.
"father!"
Li Qi took a step forward and ran to Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang nodded,
The father and son were chatting casually,
Li Qi supported his old father and talked while walking.
Li Qi lowered his voice and said,
"Dad, aren't we being too ostentatious like this?"
Li Shanchang glanced at Li Qi casually and said lightly,
“What’s wrong with a father talking to his son?
If you have no ghosts in your heart, you will naturally not stand out.
If you have a ghost in your heart, that's enough to show off. "
When Li Qi heard this, he quickly adjusted his expression.
Put on a normal expression,
When Li Shanchang saw this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, I asked the princess about this."
The princess Li Qi married,
It is Princess Lin'an, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter, Zhu Jingjing.
His biological mother became Mu Guifei Sun. Because her biological mother passed away,
Zhu Jingjing received great care from Lao Zhu in the palace.
And Li Qi inquired about things with Princess Lin'an,
Naturally, it is the most effective way.
Li Shanchang finally felt something moving in his eyes.
He couldn't help but say,
"explain."
Li Qi was a little embarrassed.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Dad, let's go home and talk.
I don’t know who will listen here! "
Li Shanchang frowned.
whispered,
"idiot!
There are Jinyi guards all over the Li Mansion, but this is the safest place!
Even if His Majesty arranges a royal guard, he cannot be placed in the yamen office. That would be too explicit here.
If I ask you to speak, just speak quickly without asking so many nonsense questions! "
Li Qi's eyes flashed and he spoke very quickly,
"Dad, according to what Jing Jing said,
Your Majesty, something has really been wrong recently. He ran to the harem when he had nothing to do.
But I don’t know where I’m going.
Don't know about the others.
This person called Mr. Huang, no one knows where he comes from..."
After Li Shanchang heard this, he sighed.
"It's exactly what I thought."
Li Qi's eyes flashed,
Puzzled,
"Father, what do you mean?"
Li Shanchang shook his head,
"It's going to change."
"change of weather?"
Li Qi looked up at the sky. There was no cloud in the sky.
"Dad, it's okay. It won't rain."
Li Shanchang glanced at Li Qi and said nothing.
He is tired.
Really tired.
Li Shanchang asked himself countless times,
Is this his biological son?
Li Shan sighed and continued,
"Son, Your Majesty is going to reshuffle the cards.
Except for the first and second years of Hongwu,
From the third year of Hongwu to the present,
Above the court, the situation was one of emphasizing civility and neglecting military affairs.
His Majesty is also deliberately suppressing military generals.
And the civil servants who headed upward were not monolithic at first.
Your father and I fought with Liu Bowen and both sides suffered losses.
In exchange for the current situation where the Huaixi sect is the dominant family,
And now,
His Majesty did not know where he got Mr. Huang. He clearly wanted to reduce the weight of Huaixi civil servants in the court. "
Li Shanchang did not talk too clearly to Li Qi.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s basic base is the Huaixi Group.
but,
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne,
But he is deliberately rejecting the Huaixi Group.
Pulled and beaten,
Round after round, the Huaixi Group is getting weaker and weaker.
What do you mean, Your Majesty?
Li Shanchang can also guess a thing or two.
Before Lao Zhu became emperor,
Huaixi Group is Lao Zhu's biggest reliance.
After Lao Zhu succeeded to the throne,
The Huaixi Group is constantly dividing the imperial power.
Regardless of whether Huaixi civil servants did it intentionally or unintentionally,
However, it is indeed dividing Lao Zhu's power.
Your Majesty used thunderous means to kill Hu Weiyong and depose the six prime ministers.
This curbed the Huaixi Group's unlimited expansion trend.
Where is Hu Weiyong from?
Huaixi people.
Where is Li Shanchang from?
Huaixi people.
If this continues,
How could Li Shanchang not know?
The next one for Hu Weiyong is himself.
This has nothing to do with any relationship between monarch and minister!
Just Game of Thrones.
Either you die or I die,
Li Shanchang smiled bitterly.
How can others understand these things?
Only he and His Majesty knew it.
I have been hiding my stupidity in the court,
In fact, I am showing weakness to His Majesty.
Lao Zhu has no objection to Li Shanchang, nor to Hu Weiyong.
it is just,
Have an opinion about where they sit.
From the moment the Ming Dynasty was established,
Everyone's fate is sealed.
Li Shanchang has only two paths.
Retire old.
Or go to the abyss.
Li Qi understood Li Shanchang's words for a while, and then whispered,
"Dad, the front of this salt factory has just opened.
I immediately asked Zhu Yunwen to ask for it again. Isn't it a little anxious?
besides,
Why did you end so soon? "
Li Shan sighed,
"Do you think your father and I want this? We don't have time!
The Chang family has no choice, do you think we have a choice? !
Our choice from beginning to end is only one,
That is Zhu Yunwen!
In this case, it would be better to end things early.
Lu's are all using women's tricks. If I don't take any action,
Zhu Yunwen's impression in His Majesty's heart will only get worse and worse! "
The father and son have ordinary faces. Whenever they see officials they know well, they will
He even stopped and came up to say a few words.
No one can see it,
The father and son were talking about losing their heads!
Li Shanchang continued,
"Guo Huan is okay, at least he's not stupid.
Go and talk to your uncle and ask him to contact Guo Huan.
It's best to get them to our side.
Now the civil servants have to gather together.
Otherwise, there is really no way to escape this disaster..."
Li Qi said,
"Dad, didn't you just say that Mr. Huang is here to suppress the civil servants in Huaixi?
Let's squeeze him out,
There is no need to be so worried, is it really serious enough to threaten all civil servants? "
Li Shanchang laughed and said,
"Mr. Huang is just His Majesty's first move.
Your Majesty's ultimate move is from behind.
I just said,
Since the third year of Hongwu, the situation in the court has always been to emphasize civil servants over military officers.
And now His Majesty is settling down veterans and conducting military parades. What does this mean? "
Li Qi understood instantly and couldn't help but exclaimed,
"Dad! Your Majesty is going to favor the military attache?!"
Li Qi knew that his voice was too loud, so he quickly covered his mouth,
But there was still a look of fear in his eyes,
Li Shanchang glanced at Li Qi, then nodded and said,
“It couldn’t be more obvious, you know what’s most important?
Young talent.
Only with the continuous influx of young talents can we continue to prosper.
And your Majesty's actions will only allow more and more outstanding talents to join the army.
The power of the military attache will also become stronger and stronger.
How do you think we can deal with ourselves if we allow this situation to continue? "
Li Qi stopped and stood there, his limbs feeling cold.
He finally understood,
Why did the always steady father act so hastily this time?
It turns out that Huaixi civil servants had long been standing on the edge of the cliff.
Just waiting for His Majesty to reach out and push, the civil servants in Huaixi will immediately fall into the abyss.
The power of civil servants in Huaixi is too great.
Every year, countless Huaixi people take the imperial examination and enter the court.
Even Lao Zhu couldn't suppress it.
We can only deal with Hu Weiyong and kill a large number of people.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang leave such a huge thunder to Zhu Biao?
Zhu Yuanzhang watched these old Huaixi brothers on the dragon throne every day.
All I was thinking about was how to kill them reasonably.
And Li Shanchang looked up at Lao Zhu in the court every day,
All I was thinking about was how to live one more day.
Li Shanchang has no cards in his hand.
The only card left is Zhu Yunwen.
If you play this card well, everything will turn around!
And if this card is defective,
hehe,
Li Shanchang didn't even think about the outcome...
Li Shanchang had some bad premonitions in his heart, so he said a few more words to Li Qi.
I wanted to at least explain the matter.
“The salt industry is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no shortage of salt along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. They use the sun salt method.
In the interior, only salt can be boiled, and most rely on coastal state governments for assistance.
His Majesty thought of boiling salt inland just to cooperate with a whipping method.
Create another tax road for the imperial court.
Do you know how much silver this will be?
Do you know how much political leverage it would be if you held the salt industry in your hands?
Even a pig can be held!
They can all fly! ! ! "
Li Shanchang's eyes were glowing green and he was completely anxious.
Although he knew that His Majesty's use of Changfu to take charge of the salt factory was just a temporary measure,
The salt industry can never be returned to private ownership!
It is even more impossible to let officials negotiate!
but,
Just being able to manage the salt factory in Changfu is a huge political capital!
The Chang family had no choice.
We can only choose Zhu Yunxi, who is his direct descendant.
yes,
Zhu Yunwen is the grandson of the emperor.
But so what?
Zhu Yunwen, who was born as a concubine, was nothing in the eyes of the Chang family!
Rather than saying this is political capital given to the Chang family by His Majesty,
Rather, it is the political capital given to Zhu Yunxi by His Majesty!
Can Li Shanchang not be anxious? !
He must quickly urge Mrs. Lu,
Let Zhu Yunwen seize the salt industry quickly!
otherwise,
The consequences are unimaginable!
