Chapter 91 The illness of the Duke of Han
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know."
Zhu Yuanzhang said no more. At a signal, an exclamation suddenly sounded outside. A stream of blood sprayed on the door and window. Li Shanchang was shocked. It was no one else who was killed. It was the entourage brought by Li Shanchang. There were dozens of people in total. There are many maids, attendants and guards.
Li Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "They did not take good care of the Duke, causing him to fall into the water. Naturally, the crime deserves death. I ordered the execution."
Li Shanchang was shocked and said: "You are not afraid of eternal infamy."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I raised the army just to survive. I never asked for fame. Moreover, I will not be threatened by others in my life. If you want to die, I will help you. You must be grateful that your daughter-in-law is my daughter, and Li Qi is also a good person. Child. By the way, I have never understood who was behind Han Lin'er's death. Liao Yongzhong also died, and I seem to never be able to figure it out. It couldn't be you, right?"
Then Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "It's not important anymore. It's an old thing. However, this method inspired me. Everyone in the world said that I sunk Han Lin'er, and there is only one Li Shanchang. Don't worry, you slipped and fell into the water. Then your body and bones Too weak, he died of illness."
"All the sorrow and glory are still there. You yourself said that at your age, living a few more years and a few less years will mean nothing?"
"Right."
Li Shanchang was slightly panicked, but then calmed down. Said: "This does not seem like your method."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "People are subject to change. Duke Han, it's time to fall into the water."
Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order, and someone immediately pulled Li Shanchang out. With a "plop", someone immediately shouted: "The Duke of Han has fallen into the water. The Duke of Han has fallen into the water." Immediately, someone jumped into the water with a "plop". Li Shanchang was rescued.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knows how to act and do the whole thing. If Li Shanchang was to die of illness, it would not be drowning. Li Shan grows up to be someone of this age. A fall could kill you, let alone fall into the water. Getting sick is so normal.
And Li Shanchang is a smart man.
A smart person knows what to do this time.
Previously, Li Shanchang was unwilling on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also confused by Zhu Yuanzhang's methods. I thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be cruel. Yes. Because of He Xi's influence. After the Hu Weiyong case, there were other cases like this. But generally speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any signs of tampering with Xungui. There was also the matter of Kaihai and reconciliation with many Huaixi nobles.
Lu Zhongheng and many other nobles who were originally in Li Shanchang's camp or had close contacts with Li Shanchang have also become alienated from Li Shanchang due to interests.
Use more gentle methods. Li Shanchang thought Zhu Yuanzhang had changed his attitude.
This is what you can rely on.
More importantly, Li Shanchang has always been a political figure. For a politician, he needs to have a presence. There was no traffic or horses in front of the door, and the feeling of being outdated was really something Li Shanchang couldn't accept.
This also shows that Li Shanchang is a little old, and naturally he has not felt it yet. After being coaxed, he forgot Zhu Yuanzhang's true face.
But Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a decision. Li Shanchang knows one thing very well.
If Elder Li Shan died of illness honestly. Then everything in the Li family can be passed on to Li Qi. The Li family is still a descendant of Han Guogong. But if he refuses, something will happen. That's another outcome.
Therefore, after Li Shanchang was rescued. Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely treat him well.
Li Shanchang will definitely be unable to save him.
If Li Shanchang insists that he can still be saved. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't leave any room left. The charge of treason with the Japanese was not a good one. But if it worked in history, it may not be able to be used now. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang never thought of keeping it completely secret.
If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to keep it completely secret, there were many ways to make Li Shanchang die without anyone noticing. Instead, he would have fallen into the water, which is an easy-to-assume death method.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted this role.
Kill without knowing. But there are doubts about how Lee Shan-chang died.
Just to scare some people.
Li Shanchang is right. Li Shanchang alone represents nothing. The undercurrent lurking under the imperial court is the most important thing. But to resolve these undercurrents, killing is not an option. Because whoever owns land is naturally opposed to taxing it. Instinctively wants land annexation. It doesn't matter whether this person is a noble, a scholar-bureaucrat, or a member of the royal family, it's all the same.
They have one name in common, that is, the landlord class.
Unless the economic basis is changed, these people will not be able to kill them all. Zhu Yuanzhang could not do anything to eliminate these people, so he could only let them stabilize for a while. But there are.
Just use Li Shanchang's head.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have nothing happened. He held a book calmly and continued reading.
------
On Niuzhuang Pier.
He Xi led the civil and military officials up and down Liaodong for a long time.
After seeing the dragon boat from a distance, they all took their seats and didn't even dare to go to the toilet.
This shows Zhu Yuanzhang's deep prestige.
But when the ship with the dragon flag docked, the first person to disembark was not Zhu Yuanzhang. But Dai Yuanli. He Xi was shocked, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was ill. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Dr. Dai, what happened?"
Dai Yuanli said: "The Duke of Han fell into the water on the boat. Although he was rescued in time, the old man was old and started to have a fever as soon as he got up. There were not many medicinal materials on the boat and the space was cramped, so it was not suitable for recuperation. Your Majesty is gracious and allows Duke Han to disembark first and find a place to stay. By the way, Mr. He, is there any place here for Duke Han to recuperate? "
He Xi heard what Dai Yuanli said. I breathed a sigh of relief. After all, all his support now comes from Zhu Yuanzhang. If something happens to Zhu Yuanzhang, He Xi doesn't feel that his end will be wonderful, so it is not Zhu Yuanzhang who is sick. This made He Xi feel relieved.
Then a question emerged in He Xi's mind: Did Li Shanchang really fall into the water by himself?
This is not normal anymore.
It would be fine if He Xi had never been on a sea ship. Precisely because He Xi took the boat to run to the end, he had already gained experience. The sides of such a large ship are almost chest high. It is generally impossible for ordinary people to fall into the water unless they want to jump. Even if you fall into the water, there are several circumstances. When getting on and off the ship, many times the ship cannot be closely integrated with the dock. People have to step on the swaying wooden boards to get from the ship to the dock. If you step on the wrong step, you may fall into the water.
The other is encountering bad weather. Strong winds and huge waves. The whole boat was like a toy, bouncing back and forth on the waves. It is normal for people to fly overboard by accident.
However, Li Shanchang did not fall into the water when he was getting on and off the boat. After all, he would have fallen into the water while getting on the boat. Li Shanchang should stay in Tianjin, not here. Furthermore, the Bohai Sea itself is very calm and there have been no storms recently. Li Shanchang was on Zhu Yuanzhang's ship, which was the largest ship.
Nothing could go wrong.
So-----?
He Xi suddenly thought of something. He was stunned.
Dai Yuanli was still looking at He Xi, waiting for He Xi's answer. He Xi had countless questions in his mind that he wanted to ask Dai Yuanli, but he didn't ask them. Because there are some things that cannot be said in the first place. He Xi immediately said: "Of course there is." He sent someone to make arrangements without mentioning it.
After a while, Duke Han was carried down. He Xi saw that Duke Han's face looked very ugly. Send someone away immediately without mentioning it.
After Han Guogong disembarked, Zhu Yuanzhang disembarked.
Zhu Yuanzhang got off the boat.
He Xi and his subordinates immediately bowed respectfully in the dust and said, "I respectfully welcome the Holy Master. May His Majesty be in peace."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I'm sorry, there's no need for so many false courtesy. Everyone, get up."
He Xi just got up.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at He Xi. Compared with the immature appearance of He Xi when he first came to this era, He Xi's face was much darker now. There is no need to leave. His temperament has changed drastically. From a young boy who just graduated, he now has the bearing of a high official and a minister.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's right. The child has grown up."
He Xi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was still majestic, but he was a bit old. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was only in his fifties when he first met him. He didn't look old. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yuanzhang was already over sixty years old.
Sixty seems to be a threshold. After people reach this age, they will age rapidly.
Or stabilize after a period of time. Officially entering the age of old age.
Therefore, in He Xi's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang has changed a lot in the past two years.
He Xi couldn't help but blurt out, "Your Majesty has grown old."
