Yang Xian?
Zhu Biao was stunned, not expecting that Su Jing would mention such a person.
Mainly because in his impression, Yang Xian's sense of presence is really not strong.
Although he was an official of Zhongshu Province, Zhu Biao was surrounded by ministers of the state. At ordinary levels, Lao Zhu would not be placed around Zhu Biao at all.
To put it bluntly, Yang Xian's level is not high enough for Zhu Biao to take him seriously.
Therefore, when Su Jing said the name Yang Xian, he was very surprised.
Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong were Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite candidates to succeed the Ming Dynasty Zuo Cheng, and everyone in the court knew about them.
But Yang Xian and Zhu Biao didn't expect it, and he was sure that others didn't expect it.
"Master Su, now Yang Xian is the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu. Although it is also an important position, it is unlikely that he will become the Left Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Zhu Biao expressed his doubts towards Su Jing.
From the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu to the Zuo Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, he was still an official whose presence was not too high before.
Zhu Biao still couldn't understand.
Su Jing said lightly: "If he cannot be the best, but if he is, it will definitely be an extremely wrong thing."
Su Jing really didn't know much about what happened to Yang Xian before he became Prime Minister Zuo of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Xian became the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, he stayed in this position for a short time, less than a month.
But in such a short period of time, he has done many "shocking" things.
He dismissed old ministers and appointed cronies in various ways, as if he regarded Zhongshu Province as his own backyard, not even caring about Lao Zhu's face.
This also allowed Yang Xian to completely leave a mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty, although it was not a good reputation.
"Students understand."
Zhu Biao nodded seriously towards Su Jing, already keeping this in mind.
Although he did not think that Yang Xian could become Zhongshu Zuo Prime Minister, he still decided to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about it.
It's also good to be reminded.
According to Su Jing, the reason is not important, execution is the most important.
"Okay, let's go to Baoyuan Bureau. The most important thing is to build the small artillery as soon as possible."
Su Jing said lightly.
He only mentioned a few words about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
Historical changes will inevitably produce many unexpected changes in the complex political situation.
It's like everything was moved forward a year.
"Okay, Master Su."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "But after this time, the Ming Dynasty will soon establish a Firearms Bureau. By then, the manufacturing of firearms will only be in the Firearms Bureau, and new firearms can be produced and developed faster and better."
"Firearms Bureau? Just created it?"
Su Jing was slightly stunned and asked.
Zhu Biao replied: "Strictly speaking, it has not been implemented yet. We just have this policy and the students will be responsible for it. It will be established soon. Then Teacher Su may have to be troubled."
Su Jing, the number one person in firearms of the Ming Dynasty, is here. The establishment of the new firearms bureau must not bypass him.
"Okay, I will definitely participate when the time comes!"
Su Jing immediately agreed.
He had a new understanding of Ming's efficiency.
This efficiency is not the speed of construction, it is the efficiency of administration.
When Lao Zhu does these things, it can be said that he is vigorous and resolute, without any sloppiness.
The emperor system of the feudal dynasty was not without its benefits.
"Thank you Master Su."
Zhu Biao immediately thanked him.
…
the other side.
Wang Guangyang used a little of the power of Prime Minister Zuo of the Ming Dynasty and successfully found information about Su Jing.
Although Wang Guangyang seems to be slacking off on weekdays, he is still the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he is not incompetent at all.
This will be the function of Prime Minister Zuo again, so it is still possible to find information about Su Jing.
"It turns out to be here."
Wang Guangyang looked at the folded book and was slightly surprised.
Su Jing, the extremely mysterious Uncle Renyuan, is actually in Jinling City, very close to the imperial palace.
But even so, Su Jing still has not officially appeared in front of the Ming Dynasty's civil and military officials.
has a problem!
It is one thing for Wang Guangyang to be lazy in politics, but he is not stupid.
When Yang Xian mentioned Su Jing to him before, he had already kept it in mind. In the officialdom, be careful when sailing.
Such a heavyweight as Su Jing was specially conferred the title of Uncle Renyuan by Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he lived so close to the palace, he never entered the palace even once.
Zhu Yuanzhang must have done it intentionally!
But why?
Everyone can see that Lao Zhu has high hopes for Su Jing, and he should be developing into a powerful official in the court.
But so much time has passed, and Su Jing is still so mysterious.
The reason seems to be unexplainable.
what to do?
Do you want to send an edict to Su Jing regarding the title of Uncle Ren Yuan?
Wang Guangyang is very hesitant now. He is really not sure whether to do this or not!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has summoned me!"
At this moment, the eunuch's summons sounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s summons!
Wang Guangyang was stunned and immediately set off to enter the palace. He was very nervous.
Because he had already heard about Liu Bing's impeachment. To be precise, it should be that the imperial censor Liu Bing did not hide anything and directly submitted the memorial to impeach Wang Guangyang.
As a censor who wanted to be the censor, Liu Bing knew that he had to be unafraid of power.
It is definitely not okay to be timid and sneaky.
As Liu Bingzhi went up, there were also discussions among the officials. In addition, Wang Guangyang's recent performance as the right prime minister was indeed mediocre. Wang Guangyang was really worried.
Soon, Wang Guangyang came to Fengxian Hall.
"I see your Majesty!"
Wang Guangyang knelt down and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Guangyang with a straight face, and he couldn't tell anything just by looking at his expression.
However, as a veteran who has followed Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, Wang Guangyang knows that this kind of Zhu Yuanzhang is the most terrifying Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Wang Guangyang, get up and talk."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
Wang Guangyang stood up tremblingly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wang Guangyang and said, "Guangyang, you look a little nervous, but I haven't said anything yet."
"I deserve to die, please forgive me!"
Wang Guangyang immediately knelt down again and burst into tears.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold expression: "Excuse me? What crime do you want me to forgive?"
Wang Guangyang immediately said: "I have neglected to support my old mother recently and failed to fulfill my duty as a son. I was wrong. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"
This is the reason Wang Guangyang can think of. After following Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, he also knows that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to filial piety.
"Guangyang, I remember that your mother is nearly eighty years old. How can you have the nerve to beg for forgiveness from me here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Guangyang and said coldly.
Wang Guangyang kowtowed directly on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I really know that I was wrong. I will take good care of my mother from now on."
When it comes to power, Wang Guangyang is not an exaggeration.
But it is really difficult for him to throw away everything he has now.
Besides, it is not a shameful thing to admit your mistake to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Guangyang, get up and talk."
Zhu Yuanzhang's faint voice sounded again, which made Wang Guangyang, who was kowtowing, confused.
Which one is this from?
Is my attitude not sincere enough?
Shouldn't I scold myself a few words next? Why did I let myself stand up again?
"I feel ashamed, I'd better kneel down."
Wang Guangyang did not stand up and remained kneeling.
"I asked you to get up, don't you understand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Guangyang suddenly, and his voice became a little scary.
Wang Guangyang jumped up and stood up quickly, his whole body trembling.
His mind was constantly thinking about various possibilities. Why was Zhu Yuanzhang so angry?
Is it really just because I didn't take good care of my elderly mother?
It shouldn’t be!
Even though I have neglected to take care of her these days, the servants in my family must be taking good care of her.
It's just that I saw my old mother too few times and didn't always take care of her.
Zhu Yuanzhang can be angry, but there is something wrong with being so angry.
"Wang Guangyang, it seems you still don't understand!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Wang Guangyang and asked coldly.
Wang Guangyang was in a state of confusion and had no idea what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
"Your Majesty, please tell me clearly, where did I go wrong?"
After a brief downtime, Wang Guangyang looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
Even if you want to die, be clear about it, this is what Wang Guangyang thinks.
"snort!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said, "Wang Guangyang, have you been investigating someone recently?"
Um?
Investigate a person?
Wang Guangyang was a little confused, but he figured it out in an instant.
"Uncle Ren Yuan!"
Wang Guangyang replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "You also know, Wang Guangyang, you have been following me for a long time. Do you really have no idea whether Su Jing can check it?"
Lao Zhu likes smart people, but he hates those who can't turn around.
Wang Guangyang first was unfilial to his old mother, and then he investigated Su Jing without the ability to see her.
These two consecutive incidents directly made Zhu Yuanzhang uncontrollable in anger, and also strengthened Zhu Yuanzhang's determination to demote Wang Guangyang.
It turned out to be Su Jing!
Wang Guangyang's mind was buzzing. He never thought that the matter was related to his investigation of Su Jing.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also normal.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang never said it explicitly, Su Jing has remained mysterious for such a long time, which can already explain a lot of problems.
When I was investigating Su Jing, I didn't pay attention to covering up anything. I just conducted a very direct investigation.
Zhu Yuanzhang must know about such an investigation very quickly!
Yang Xian harmed me!
Wang Guangyang couldn't help but cursed angrily in his heart, but he did not say it out loud to Yang Xian.
Because there was no evidence at all, Yang Xian did not reveal any information about Su Jing. He investigated everything by himself.
At that time, Yang Xian had already anticipated the current situation, so he was very careful not to get involved.
Identifying Yang Xian now will only make Zhu Yuanzhang feel that he is just biting randomly.
Wang Guangyang knew that although he had offended Zhu Yuanzhang now, he should not be punished until death.
Admitting your mistake honestly is the best choice.
"Your Majesty, I know I made a mistake, please punish me!"
Wang Guangyang knelt down and bowed his head to admit his mistake. He made no excuses and accepted the punishment honestly.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Guangyang, and after a moment of silence he said, "Go back to your hometown, take your old mother with you, and take good care of her."
After returning directly to his hometown, the position of Zhongshu Right Prime Minister was naturally eliminated.
This wave is equivalent to picking it clean.
Although it is not a capital crime, it is still a very serious punishment.
And once you are far away from the capital, it means you are far away from the center of power. It will be much more difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to remember and use him again.
"I accept the decree!"
Wang Guangyang directly accepted the order without any objection.
It's better to go home than to be beheaded.
Now Wang Guangyang finally understood that he was set up by Yang Xian.
But he couldn't accuse Yang Xian of anything. If he said too much, if Yang Xian slandered him again, he would be even more unlucky.
In the final analysis, it is not good for him to do things by himself, it is not good for him to support his mother, and he is not vigilant at all.
It can only be said that it is one's own fault for reaching this end.
Wang Guangyang is quite practical on this point.
The news that the right prime minister in Zhongshu was deposed soon spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. Good guy, the left prime minister Li Shanchang is temporarily unable to come due to illness, and the right prime minister Wang Guangyang was deposed.
Zhongshu Province was directly paralyzed.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the government and the public.
On Yang Xian's side, he still had no intention of letting Wang Guangyang go. Last time, Zhu Yuanzhang's tolerance for Wang Guangyang's lazy politics really made Yang Xian envious and jealous.
If some time passes, Lao Zhu may think of Wang Guangyang again.
Therefore, he found Liu Bing, the imperial censor, again.
"Master Liu, congratulations!"
Yang Xian congratulated Liu Bing.
Liu Bing immediately waved his hand and said: "I just did some things within my duty. Why should Mr. Yang do this?"
Even though he said this, Liu Bing still had uncontrollable excitement on his face.
This Wang Guangyang was deposed, for him, the impeachment censor, it was simply an achievement that could not be achieved in most cases.
The little servant censor, the Prime Minister You, fought hard and won.
In the Ming Dynasty, officials also had different views on Liu Bing, but there were many more followers.
Yang Xian said: "Master Liu, Wang Guangyang was deposed from the position of Prime Minister, but Your Majesty just asked him to return to his hometown. I am afraid there is a possibility of coming back in the future. You see..."
Yang Xian stopped mid-sentence.
Liu Bing frowned and immediately understood what Yang Xian meant.
Now Liu Bing's impeachment has successfully removed Wang Guangyang from the position of Prime Minister, but what about the future?
Wang Guangyang is not a commoner, he is also an earl!
Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang will think of him sometime in the future, and it's not impossible to use him again.
When the time comes, will Liu Bing, the person who impeached him, become Wang Guangyang's first target of revenge?
"What Mr. Yang means is that to cut the grass we must get rid of the roots!"
Liu Bing looked at Yang Xian with a fierce look on his face.
The eradication here definitely cannot be done by killing Wang Guangyang, who is also an earl after all. If he is killed, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely get to the bottom of it.
It just prevents Wang Guangyang from coming back to court.
Yang Xian smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Liu understands."
