Yang Xian's instigation made Liu Bing once again have the idea of impeaching Wang Guangyang.
That's right, now Liu Bing has successfully won a reputation in the Ming Dynasty because he impeached Wang Guangyang, the right prime minister.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of Wang Guangyang was just to let him return home to adopt his mother.
This kind of treatment is obviously thinking about old feelings.
Since he still misses his old love, it means that there may not be no possibility of Wang Guangyang returning to the court in the future.
By then, Liu Bing will obviously become Wang Guangyang's number one enemy.
For an opponent who had been the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bing realized that it was most cost-effective to 'cut the grass and root out'.
As soon as Yang Xian left, Liu Bing set out again and began to collect some "evidence" of Wang Guangyang.
It would be best to relegate Wang Guangyang to a farther place.
Of course, Liu Bing knew Yang Xian's intention of teasing him.
Use your own hands to get rid of his competitors.
However, this is a matter of both worlds, and Liu Bing doesn't mind doing it.
At this moment, Liu Bing seemed to regard Yang Xian as his solid ally, who could help each other and make progress.
…
In the Fengxian Hall.
Yang Xian stood respectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Xian and said, "Yang Xian, how is the situation in Zhongshu Province now?"
In the absence of Li Shanchang, Wang Guangyang was also dismissed.
The left and right prime ministers of the Zhongshu Province are gone, which means that the backbone of the Zhongshu Province is gone. This is a very serious matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little upset when he thought about the mess Wang Guangyang had done before.
If the Zhongshu Ministry of Education is paralyzed, then the number of things he has to deal with will increase dramatically, which is a bit annoying.
"Reply to Your Majesty."
Yang Xian bowed his hands and replied: "Everything is normal. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
everything is normal?
Forgive me?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused by Yang Xian's sudden remarks, and he still didn't understand what was going on.
Isn't that a good thing?
Why do you have to forgive yourself again?
"Yang Xian, tell me clearly what is going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.
Yang Xian immediately knelt down and said: "Both the left and right prime ministers of Zhongshu Province are away. There are many affairs, and I have overstepped my bounds. In order to avoid the previous situation, I exercised my authority as the right prime minister and settled the affairs."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I did not intentionally overstep my bounds. I just wanted to allow the Ming Dynasty to operate normally, for Your Majesty's sake."
Yang Xian's words made him burst into tears and he spoke sincerely.
The flattery was loud and clear, and he kept blaming himself, but it clearly highlighted the fact that he was capable.
He even made it clear to Zhu Yuanzhang that without him, Wang Guangyang, the Ministry of Education would be the same, no difference at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang was really surprised when he heard this.
He really didn't expect that Yang Xian, an official with a background in espionage, could really take charge of the overall situation of Zhongshu Province?
He had thought for a long time about the choice of Prime Minister Zuo.
It's not like Yang Xian has never been on the candidate list, but he only briefly passed by and was immediately rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
No way, Yang Xian's ability in Zhu Yuanzhang's mainly lies in espionage.
The Zhongshu Province is a comprehensive service center. If you want to preside over the Zhongshu Province, you must have comprehensive abilities and have an overall view.
Lao Zhu really didn't expect that Yang Xian could continue to hang around Zhongshu Province after Wang Guangyang left.
He looked at Yang Xian in front of him again and recalled what Yang Xian had done for him over the years.
Ability aside, he is very loyal and very organized.
All the espionage tasks he had been assigned to do before were well-founded and convincing.
Now that he has shown such ability, it seems that it is not impossible to let Yang Xian temporarily take over the position of the left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
"Yang Xian, get up quickly. You are doing it for the Ming Dynasty and for me. What crime are you guilty of?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately helped Yang Xian up.
Although he only scolded Yang Xian not long ago, this did not prevent Corporal Li Xian from doing so at this time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Xian immediately expressed his gratitude and his attitude was very good.
He knew that he had made the right move.
Now, all the obstacles in front of him to become the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty have been cleared away.
Everything was going in the direction he expected, without any mistakes.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Xian and said: "Yang Xian, now there are vacancies for the prime ministers on the left and right of the Zhongshu Province, but the Zhongshu Province is one of the most important institutions of the Ming Dynasty and must function normally. I intend to select someone to take on this role. Heavy responsibility.”
Hearing this, Yang Xian was excited inside, but his face remained calm.
"This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty must have already planned it. No matter how your Majesty arranges it, I will do my best!"
Yang Xian said respectfully.
The more it is at this time, the less likely it is to be impatient.
Yang Xian still did a good job in this aspect.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, quite satisfied with Yang Xian's performance, and said: "In that case, I will let you be the Ming Zuo..."
"The prince has arrived!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to promote Yang Xian, but Zhu Biao asked to see him at this time.
Although the eunuch announced it first, Zhu Biao had already walked in.
As soon as he arrived at Fengxian Hall, Zhu Biao saw Yang Xian and immediately thought of Su Jing's warning.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Yang Xian immediately saluted Zhu Biao respectfully.
Zhu Biao didn't say anything, but said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, I have something important to report."
Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately and looked at Yang Xian.
"I excuse myself."
Yang Xian could only leave voluntarily, although he was unwilling to accept the division in his heart.
If Zhu Biao had come a little later, he would have been able to take the position of Prime Minister Zuo of the Ming Dynasty.
But there was no way, Zhu Biao came.
Who among the civil and military officials knows the status of the prince?
As Yang Xian slowly withdrew, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, what's the matter?"
Zhu Biao replied: "Back to my father, I have already asked Master Su about my father's questions."
"What did Su Jing say?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been worried about who will be the next Prime Minister Zuo of the Ming Dynasty.
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang already had a candidate in mind just now, he still wanted to hear Su Jing's opinion.
Zhu Biao replied: "Father, Master Su did not tell me who is the most suitable, but whether it is Hu Weiyong or Wang Guangyang, Master Su's views are consistent with his sincerity."
Do you agree with Liu Bowen?
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly surprised, but he felt it was reasonable.
"Then it seems that Su Jing is nothing more than that. He is not as good as me in this matter. I already have a suitable candidate."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, feeling quite happy.
As long as he can beat Su Jing, Lao Zhu will be happy, no matter how small it is.
"Father's choice is Yang Xian?"
Before Lao Zhu could be happy for a long time, Zhu Biao had already asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."
Lao Zhu was not too surprised. After all, Yang Xian was here just now. As his son and future prince, Zhu Biao's eyesight is normal.
Zhu Biao sighed inwardly, very surprised.
"What Master Su said is so accurate."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh.
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, what do you mean by this? What did Master Su tell you?"
Zhu Biao replied: "Master Su told Erchen that he doesn't know who is the suitable candidate, but Yang Xian is definitely not suitable."
! ! !
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and said immediately: "Biao'er, are you saying that Su Jing has already expected that we want to use Yang Xian?"
Whether Yang Xian is suitable or not is put aside for the time being. Lao Zhu has just decided that he wants to use Yang Xian.
But what Su Jing and Zhu Biao said must have been a while ago.
After all, although the distance from Niu Mansion to the Imperial Palace is not far, it still takes half an hour to travel smoothly.
This means that Su Jing has long expected that she will use Yang Xian.
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "What Master Su said at the time, I didn't quite understand, because I didn't think my father would use Yang Xian, but now it seems that Master Su had already expected it."
Yang Xian's sense of presence is still too low.
Even the prince Zhu Biao did not think that this might happen.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened. He had to believe Su Jing's words. He had learned from this many times.
But the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is here. If Yang Xian is not allowed to go up, who can be allowed to go up?
"Father, Master Su is telling the truth, I hope father will think twice!"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and knew that his father must be struggling at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly and said: "Biao'er, we don't know, but Yang Xian has not made any mistakes so far at least, and he has handled everything well."
"Just now, if you hadn't appeared, Biao'er, we would have given him a promotion. Now it's not good to reject it directly."
Lao Zhu still has his own concerns, and he likes Yang Xian's loyalty very much.
Moreover, Yang Xian didn't just work for him. He had done a lot of work conscientiously and made no mistakes. It could be said that he was conscientious and conscientious.
It is really unfair for such a subordinate to have his promotion canceled just because of Su Jing's prophecy and suggestion.
Zhu Biao said: "Father, I understand, but Master Su made it clear that if Yang Xian becomes the left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, it will be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Please be careful, father."
Zhu Biao's expression was very solemn, because he had spent the longest time with Su Jing, and Zhu Biao rarely saw Su Jing talking to him so seriously.
Once Su Jing said this, it was basically inevitable.
Zhu Biao believed that there was no need for Su Jing to deceive him about such a matter, as it would not do any good.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, but the look on his face reflected his entanglement and contradiction.
He must listen to Su Jing's words.
But how should Yang Xian deal with it?
After a brief thought, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Biao'er, regarding Yang Xian's appointment, I will not appoint him as Prime Minister Zuo, but it is unjustifiable if he is not promoted. Let him temporarily take Wang Guangyang's position."
Lao Zhu finally promoted Yang Xian. If such a loyal subordinate could be abandoned just because of Su Jing's words, wouldn't it chill Yang Xian's heart?
Zhu Biao's face was slightly ugly, but he also understood that the matter had reached this point and could not be changed.
"Okay, don't worry. Since Su Jing has left her words here, we will definitely keep an eye on her."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Zhu Biao.
Lao Zhu was too clear about his son's trust in Su Jing.
Zhu Biao replied: "I understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "How is it? How is Su Jing's current development of the small artillery?"
"Back to my father, Master Su has already made a sketch. It should be produced soon. After some debugging, it will probably be put into use."
Zhu Biao said, his face full of pride.
Su Jing is really efficient and fast in the matter of firearm modification.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily and said: "Okay, very good. In this way, Biao'er, the Firearms Bureau matter should be handled as soon as possible. I have already informed the Ministry of Accounts. You can just transfer people."
Even if you just draw a sketch, it will be very good with Lao Zhu.
After all, Su Jing's previous improvements are here. With the sketch, the finished product is not far away.
"Yes, Father!"
Zhu Biao took the order and turned around to leave. He was also a man who did whatever he said.
As soon as Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang called Yang Xian back.
"His Majesty."
Yang Xian knelt down respectfully, still very excited inside.
Even though he was interrupted by Zhu Biao's appearance, Yang Xian didn't feel anything strange.
As for Prince Zhu Biao, he asked himself that he had not done any questionable behavior, and Zhu Biao did not have any bad impression of him.
This matter is still very stable.
"Get up first, Yang Xian."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Xian stood up, still respectful.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Now that the left and right prime ministers of Zhongshu Province are absent, in order to allow Zhongshu Province to maintain normal operations, you can fill the gap of the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province for the time being."
Prime Minister Zhongshu You?
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Yang Xian was obviously stunned for a moment, because just before Zhu Biao came in, Yang Xian was sure that he heard "left".
It's just that after a while, it became 'right'.
Yang Xian was a little confused and didn't know what happened. Why did such a thing happen in just such a short while?
"What's wrong, Yang Xian, do you have any different ideas about my arrangements?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Yang Xian immediately replied: "I thank you for your majesty's grace. I will live up to your majesty's trust and do all the things your majesty has ordered with all my heart."
If you are dissatisfied, you cannot show it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Okay, then go quickly, Zhongshu Province has a lot to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yang Xian then retreated slowly.
Outside Fengxian Hall.
Yang Xian lowered his head, his face gloomy.
At this time, he was still trying to think about the reasons, what caused Zhu Yuanzhang to change his mind.
Obviously everything was done so perfectly, there shouldn't have been such a change.
Prince!
Yang Xian quickly focused on Prince Zhu Biao. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his story, which was what happened before and after Prince Zhu Biao came to meet.
"What exactly did the Prince say to His Majesty?"
Yang Xian said to himself.
But he couldn't understand at all, because he had very little interaction with the prince and had never done anything wrong. How could the prince Zhu Biao suddenly target him?
