Li Shanren knew that if he said the wrong thing, he might not see the sun tomorrow.
He was a little unclear about the emperor's thoughts, but he was used to accompanying the emperor like a tiger.
"It's just that Hu Guoyong may not be able to handle this matter well. You should return to the court." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Li Shanren was stunned again, what does this mean?
"Your Majesty, guilty minister..."
"We will give you a chance to atone for your sins." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The new system is very important and will affect my great cause for the next hundred years. Since you support Lao Liu so much, you must also support his new system."
"Yes, Wei Chen thinks that His Highness's new system may have better results." Li Shanren said.
"Well, when Hu Guoyong comes back, you can take over the affairs of Endeavor Hall in these days!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Only then did Li Shanren understand that the emperor wanted him to fight Hu Guoyong in the ring. Hu Guoyong stabbed him in the back, but in the end Yang Xian got the advantage.
He remembered the bet that Yang Xian made with Zhu Jun before. Hu Guoyong was transferred to Huizhou, which confirmed the feasibility of the new system. In other words, Yang Xian's resignation was a certainty.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Reject or accept?
Li Shanren thought about it again and again and decided to accept it.
Since he has decided to escort Zhu Jun, the higher his voice, the greater his effect on Zhu Jun.
Moreover, having been with Zhu Jun for so long, he naturally understands Zhu Jun's decision-making, and he can better implement his strategy.
However, for now, I still have to keep a low profile and not be too high-profile to cheer for Zhu Jun.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, guilty minister!" Li Shanren kowtowed.
"Go down!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Remember, this is the last chance we give you!"
"Yes!" Li Shanren walked out of the Imperial Garden, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I have to inform His Highness about this matter, so that His Highness will not feel unhappy."
He didn't want Zhu Jun to feel like an ungrateful person because of this.
.......
At this time, in Zhongshu Province, Yang Xian was staying in his office. This office was very simple, but it was the place that all civil servants yearned for the most.
In the past, people would come to report to him every now and then. He liked the feeling of being inferior to one person and superior to thousands of people.
But since yesterday, no one has come to his place.
Whether it is from the eastern Zhejiang region or from the Huaixi region.
Just because Hu Guoyong was summoned to Beijing by His Majesty.
Who would have thought that Huizhou, a place of exile, would turn into heaven and earth.
In just two years, Huizhou contributed 800,000 taels of tax silver to the imperial court.
That's eight hundred thousand taels.
Two years ago, the tax revenue for the entire undertaking was only three to five million taels.
In other words, one Huizhou accounts for one-tenth of the tax revenue.
How many state capitals are there in the entire great cause?
A run-down place is comparable to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Who dares to believe it?
Searching for people's fat and people's ointment?
How much can be looted from that dilapidated place?
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you won't be able to find much.
He has obviously been suppressing, but now he has become a joke.
He lost, lost to Zhu Jun, and also lost to Hu Guoyong.
Everyone was present at the time, and according to what he said, he would submit his resignation.
But he couldn't bear it, really couldn't bear it.
So the cat is here to be the tortoise.
He was particularly afraid of the emperor summoning him.
But can you escape by hiding?
Looking at the empty memorials on the side, he couldn't help but sigh at the harshness of the world.
But it's not all hopeless.
If he goes down, who will compete with Hu Guoyong?
Who will check and balance Hu Guoyong?
Looking around, no one has this qualification.
Thinking of this, Yang Xian's anxiety was no longer so heavy.
At this moment, Wang Gouer came, "Mr. Yang, your Majesty has summoned us!"
When he saw Wang Gou'er, his heart beat wildly. This dog was usually polite to him, but today, his face was expressionless and he looked businesslike.
Yang Xian suddenly had a bad premonition. He hurriedly stepped forward, took out a large yellow croaker from his pocket, and stuffed it into Wang Gou'er's pocket, "Your Majesty, how is your Majesty's mood today?"
Wang Gou'er didn't dare to accept him. Normally, people like them around the emperor were not allowed to have personal relationships, so although they were quite polite on weekdays, they didn't dare to show the slightest personal relationship.
In the past, he would have gladly accepted it, but at this moment, he didn't dare to ask for it. He pushed the big yellow croaker back and took a step back. "You will know when Yang Xiang has gone, so why bother asking your slaves and guessing the king's heart without permission? It is a big sin." !”
"My lord, why do you need to see me outside?"
Wang Gou'er smiled and shook his head, flicking his fly whisk, "Mr. Yang, don't keep your Majesty waiting too long."
Looking at Wang Gouer's back, Yang Xian felt extremely nervous and panicked.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. He has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, but he knows very well who he is.
He has done so many things for him. If he steps down, can he let him go?
Think about it and you know that’s impossible!
Yang Xianru was mourning his heir, and his expression was extremely ugly.
It can be a knife to extend one's head, or a knife to shrink one's head. It is better to take risks!
But then I thought about it, as the prime minister, I have never had any real power since I came to power.
Although the Zhejiang people are still close to him, they look down on him deep down.
If it weren't for Liu Ji's pressure, he wouldn't have had a chance.
Needless to say, Huaixi lineage, from beginning to end, he did not get any help from these people.
A desperate move will lead to death.
Right now we can only take one step at a time, and with luck, maybe we can save a little life.
He calmed down and tried to look normal, then strode out of the room and walked towards Fengtian Temple.
Not long after, he arrived at Fengtian Hall, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang above him, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Wei Chen, see your majesty!"
"Get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang has just returned from the Imperial Garden. There are some snacks in front of him. Thanks to Zhu Jun's correction, he has now changed from two meals a day to three meals a day, and occasionally eats snacks. .
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mr. Yang stood honestly below, not even daring to glance around, looking like a rookie who was going to court for the first time.
"Come forward!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Yang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly walked up from the side, but his body was bent even lower.
"I heard that you have some complaints about us bringing back Hu Guoyong?" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.
Mr. Yang, do you have any opinions?
Naturally, he had objections. He even wanted to send someone to assassinate Hu Guoyong on the road.
But the emperor seemed to know what he was thinking, and even sent a group of imperial guards to greet him personally.
This is clearly a shock and a warning.
"Wei Chen has no objections to His Majesty's decision!" Yang Xian said with a low eyebrow.
