Li Shanren knew that Zhu Jun was a prudent person, so after some persuasion, he said no more, so as not to offend Zhu Jun.
"Then Wei Chen resigned!" Li Shanren said with cupped hands.
"By the way, Mr. Han, my brother-in-law has made many meritorious service in the military these days. I have become my cousin. Soon, you will be reunited with your family.
Besides, you don’t have to work as an errand in Prince Wu’s Mansion anymore! "
Li Shanren had indeed helped him a lot over the past year, but he was still wary of Li Shanren in his heart. After these days of dormancy, his father must have become less angry.
Excluding party disputes, Li Shanren is indeed a good hand in handling government affairs.
With Li Shanren here, the eldest brother should be able to relieve some pressure.
Moreover, he also wanted Li Shanren to contain Yang Xian and others.
Li Shanren was shocked, "Your Highness, what did Wei Chen do wrong?"
"No, you have done a good job. Over the past year or so, I have regarded you as one of my own. However, you are the Duke of my great cause, not a retainer of Prince Wu's palace.
It's time to do what you should do. I would like to thank you for your contribution to Prince Wu's Mansion! Zhu Jun said with a smile.
Li Shanren looked at Zhu Jun and remembered that at the beginning, when he was sent to prison, it was Zhu Jun who took in and provided shelter for his father and son regardless of past suspicions.
At that time, everyone said that Zhu Jun was stupid and crazy.
But later, as they got along with each other for a longer period of time, he realized that Zhu Jun was a man of great wisdom and foolishness, a man with real wisdom.
He rarely gets entangled in one thing repeatedly, and his great wisdom is reflected in his madness. He always reveals his edge inadvertently and then restrains himself very well.
So, for a long time, no one knew about it.
To this day, he is like a peerless sword that has faded away from rust, making people afraid to look directly at it.
That heroic appearance made him see Zhu Yuanzhang in the past, and even in some aspects, he felt that he was stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, this sword is so dazzling now that people dare not look directly at it, and it still needs a scabbard to contain its brilliance.
He, Li Yanxi, and Fang Keqin are all Zhu Jun's scabbards.
Zhu Jun was also smart. He always attributed all his achievements today to Li Yanxi. Even when he destroyed Xijing, he still said it was Tang Ding's good teaching and gave all the credit to Wang Baobao, Liao Wu'an and others.
However, this is not enough. Someone needs to stand up and endorse him and act as a shield.
Although he, Li Shanren, dare not say that he is a great scholar, he is also a well-known figure in the Huaixi lineage.
He felt that Zhu Jun was too good, both emotionally and rationally, so he should stay.
Of course, the prince is also very good and is recognized by everyone.
He was afraid that Zhu Jun had different intentions. After all, the prince was in poor health, but his majesty was still there, and he had the emperor's grandson.
It's hard to choose, but he still hopes to keep Zhu Jun.
In his opinion, neither Zhu Jun nor anyone else could succeed.
"Weichen is used to staying in Prince Wu's Mansion, and he doesn't want to move anymore. Moreover, Weichen can't let go of the children in Endeavor Hall. Please grant your permission, Your Highness!" Li Shanren said.
Zhu Jun frowned, is this old boy still relying on him?
"Mr. Han Han, this is not good!" Zhu Jun said: "Your ability should not be condescended to only Endeavor Hall!"
"In the view of Wei Chen, although state affairs are important, the court is not indispensable without Wei Chen, and the court's capable ministers have changed, and Wei Chen is already old and can no longer keep up.
There is no room for ministers there.
The students of Endeavor Hall are equally important. They are the future of the cause and new hopes and possibilities.
It is the pathfinding stone for Your Highness to start a new path.
Wei Chen wants to follow His Highness to see what kind of scenery is at the end of the new road.
Wei Chen is greedy, but his whole life is nothing more than pursuing fame and fortune.
In this life, I can be regarded as successful and famous all over the world, but what I pursue now is no longer power.
I just want to stay at Endeavor Hall and watch how far these children can grow in the future. "
Zhu Jun tapped his fingers on the table. Li Shanren's words surprised him, but it was indeed good for him to stay.
This path cannot be paved by one person, it requires many people to stand up and endorse it.
Just like a diploma, even if the father recognizes it, but the officials don't recognize it, there is a high probability that it will still be suppressed.
When the time comes, the intellectuals in the world will riot, and the trouble will be great.
The world is not unified. If you cause trouble, there is no guarantee that those dog-tempered scholars will not surrender to the enemy.
So, be cautious about this matter.
But if a world-famous scholar comes forward to endorse it, and it gets official recognition, coupled with bombardment of propaganda from literary newspapers, not to mention whether it can be implemented smoothly, but at least it can gain a firm foothold.
As long as he has a firm foothold, given time, he will definitely become the second choice in the imperial examination in everyone's mind.
People still have to face reality after all.
There are many people like Fan Jin, but they have no hope. If they are given another hope, will they still cling to a book for the rest of their lives?
"Zhezi, I have already handed it over. If my father..."
"The minor ministers will take care of it." Li Shanren said: "What His Highness has to do is no less than a feat of opening up the imperial examination, and it is to provide a way out for thousands of people in the world.
Chen feels that this is countless times more important than Wei Chen's comeback. "
In fact, he still had a saying in his mind. Once Zhu Jun accomplished this, it would be equivalent to giving him a golden body.
If someone persecutes him, will everyone in the world agree?
Won't!
Zhu Jun carefully observed Li Shanren's expression, but found no clues.
For more than a year, he had been involved in everything, whether it was the trivial affairs of Prince Wu's Mansion or Endeavor Hall, so he had never been bothered by matters in Prince Wu's Mansion.
Even Shen Dabao only manages logistics and does not interfere in the daily management of the palace.
The inner courtyard is jointly managed by Xu Miaojin and Guanyinnu.
"Is this old boy really returning home?"
When this idea came to him, he couldn't believe it himself.
What a joke.
This is the founding hero of the great cause, the six famous officials, the face of the Huaixi lineage, and he has returned to himself?
Isn't this a joke?
I must have thought wrong.
"Hey, think about it for yourself. If you really want to stay, I won't refuse!" Seeing that the other party's words are based on this, if I refuse again, I won't be able to lose face.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Shanren breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhu Jun would not agree with him to stay. If he acted shamelessly, wouldn't he lose points?
It's quite strange to say that he can feel Zhu Jun's attitude, as if he relies on him, but also seems to be distant, as if he is worried about something.
But after thinking about it for a moment, I understood why Zhu Jun was like this. In the final analysis, he was still cautious.
A person like Zhu Jun, who has hidden his stupidity for more than ten years, must be extremely cautious in his heart.
It’s not surprising that he has such an attitude!
It seems that I still have to work hard to dispel his concerns!
