"Really? Then what should we say? Do you publicly say that we are wrong?"
Yang Xian hurriedly knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen definitely did not say this. This must be someone else's frame-up against Wei Chen.
Your Majesty should know what kind of person Wei Chen has been over the years.
Not to mention his meritorious service, he never complained before and after riding the horse. "
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the nervous Xian Yang, but still didn't let him get up, "Then why did we hear that you don't want to be the right prime minister, but the left prime minister? You also said that Hu Guoyong came back this time and took your position!"
Bang bang bang!
Hearing this, Mr. Yang was almost scared to death.
If this is not an attempt to impose a crime, why bother?
It is true that this is what he is thinking, but can he be stupid enough to tell others?
"Who your Majesty wants to be the left prime minister depends entirely on your Majesty's wishes. The ministers are just the horses and cows under your Majesty's command, so they are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks."
Having said this, he said with an angry face: "I don't know who is behind the instigation, but the loyalty of the humble minister to His Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon!"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be quite satisfied with his answer, and then said: "No one is instigating behind the scenes. It is normal for people in high positions to make irresponsible remarks. Even for us, don't people make such remarks every day?"
"Wei Chen is not afraid of being said or misunderstood. In this world, the only people Wei Chen really cares about are your majesty and the prince." Yang Xian said with red eyes: "If your majesty feels that Wei Chen is disloyal, Wei Chen is willing to go to jail. , at your Majesty’s disposal!”
He was betting that Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill everyone.
"We just heard some rumors, so we called you over to ask if you have offended anyone recently.
When will you be disloyal to us and go to jail? Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Get up and talk!" "
Yang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but the oppressive feeling was still there.
He stood up and said: "No matter what His Majesty wants Wei Chen to do, even if he dies, Wei Chen will not blink an eye."
"Why do we want you to die?" Zhu Yuanzhang said funnyly: "We just said it casually."
The feeling of oppression just now disappeared, as if what happened just now had never happened. "How are Qiu Wei's preparations? Who will be appointed as the examiner this time?"
Yang Xian couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts. The previous beating must have deep meaning. If he said even half a sentence wrong, he would be dead.
At this time, he was asked about Qiu Wei again. He thought over and over again and said: "We haven't decided yet. Wei Chen has a list of examiners in his hand. Please take a look at it."
He took out the list of examiners. After Wang Gouer presented it, Zhu Yuanzhang took a look and said, "Why is there no Song Lian?"
"Scholar Song himself has little talent and little virtue, so he is not qualified for the job!" Yang Xiandao said. In fact, after Song Lian lost to Zhu Jun, he felt that he had lost face and was embarrassed to serve as the examiner.
Moreover, after that gambling fight, Song Lian's reputation took a turn for the worse, especially the Weihai royal party's massive publicity, which for a time made Song Lian unable to leave home.
Although the East Zhejiang branch still firmly occupies most of the literary world, it is no longer as good as it was in the past.
With the sudden rise of Li Yanxi and the rebellion of Song Ke and others, the Xie family and Fang family in Xijiang have become new schools of thought.
Although the number is still small, each one is more powerful than the last.
Already able to fight against each other.
He knew very well that these people were Zhu Jun's help.
"What do you think, let us, the sixth one, continue to come back to invigilate the exam?" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Our boss also means the same thing. It just so happens that the sixth one has won the battle, and this time he comes back to offer prisoners, so he can make up for it in time."
Yang Xian was stunned, "Is this appropriate?"
"So we want to hear your opinion." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Can Mr. Yang please tell me?
He had indeed followed Zhu Jun's momentum before and successfully drove Zhu Jun away.
But after leaving, Zhu Jun's momentum was not weak but strong.
Agricultural taxes were exempted, and later corvee was exempted. The Japanese island country was defeated, and Tamerlane was defeated. I don’t know how much louder it was than last year.
The title of the Immortal Wise King is almost universally recognized.
The eight great dangers of Yingtian before have suddenly changed, and the prodigal son has turned around, which has become a good story.
One invigilation established Zhu Jun's position in the hearts of literati.
If he is invigilating the exam, in the future everyone will only know about Zhu Jun and not the prince. Isn't this a disaster?
Could it be that there is a trap in the emperor's words?
To kill the King of Weihai?
It is impossible for the emperor not to know the consequences of continuing to let King Weihai grow.
He thought for a while and said: "At this time, if you want to say that the most talented scholar in the world, there is no way around King Weihai. He is the best in both virtue and talent.
At this moment, King Weihai returned with a great victory, and his fame reached its peak.
It will definitely bring Daye’s momentum to a higher level.
Moreover, the relationship between King Weihai and His Highness the Crown Prince does not need to be discussed in detail.
Help His Royal Highness to supervise, and maybe you can have a good talk in the future! "
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Xian and couldn't help but sigh. He could tell it was a compliment.
In other words, this is submission.
But so what?
He even hoped that Yang Xian would tell him about letting Zhu Yingxiong proctor the exam on his father's behalf.
The grandson helped the prince to invigilate the exam, which was just right, instead of invigilating the exam for his brother.
"Well, what you said makes sense!" Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin, "Well, let Li Shanren be the deputy examiner this time, and you can leave Qiu Wei's affairs alone.
Ningbo Prefecture has set up a Shipping Department, and we need a capable person to supervise tax collection.
You go over there. "
Yang Xian was stunned, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, "Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order, but, Your Majesty, if Wei Chen leaves, many decisions of the imperial court will be out of reach.
In this case, Wei Chen begs to resign from the position of right minister. "
He knelt on the ground again.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not cruel and sent him to the Ningbo Shipping Department. This was the best choice.
Who doesn't know that the Ningbo Shipbuilding Department collects more than 300,000 taels of taxes every month, so it is definitely a fat job to work there.
Moreover, he is still a fat man with real power.
He was content.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without any hesitation, "What you said makes sense, so let's get it done. You can pack up and go to Ningbo Mansion as soon as possible."
"Yes, I would like to thank Your Majesty for His grace!" Yang Xian looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and kowtowed three times respectfully.
This time, it is not easy to escape alive and unscathed.
After leaving Fengtian Hall, Yang Xian was a little depressed, but more of a relief.
Instead of waiting to be kicked out, it is better to be more knowledgeable. At least, the emperor gave himself dignity and did not kill everyone.
Future glory and wealth are indispensable.
For this one thing, he had to be grateful.
His steps became much more brisk, and he finally took a deep look at the palace. From now on, the grudges and grudges here will have nothing to do with him, and he will never get involved again.
The most important thing is to protect yourself wisely!
