Su Jing's words immediately stunned Zhu Biao.
He really hadn't cared about Yang Xian's identity before.
My mentor Liu Bowen was the East Zhejiang Party.
Therefore, the promotion of Yang Xian this time was actually a suppression of the Huaixi Group by his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
Before, Zhu Biao thought that Yang Xian was only appreciated by his father Zhu Yuanzhang because of his good work. Now it seems that everything is a political game.
He didn't just tolerate the matter of Song Guogong Feng Sheng's nephew, as he said.
It’s no wonder that even though I tried to persuade him at that time, the result still didn’t change much.
"Master Su, in this situation, are you going to use Yang Xian to establish your authority?"
Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.
After Su Jing's advice, Zhu Biao also realized Zhu Yuanzhang's considerations.
Su Jing said lightly: "Yes, my idea is that Yang Xian's behavior at this time is already intolerable, so we might as well let him go a little further."
"When the time comes, deal with Yang Xian directly with thunderous means, so that the Ming Dynasty's court will be shaken, and everyone else will be warned that the emperor's sword is still very sharp."
"After all, Yang Xian is a good member of the East Zhejiang Party, but now he is still the Right Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Right Prime Minister can be directly executed. Will other officials be more restrained? No one wants to be Yang Xian's second Two."
Su Jing's words slowly fell, which made Zhu Biao become more and more clear.
At this moment, Zhu Biao truly understood his father's thoughts.
"Thank you Master Su for clarifying my doubts."
Zhu Biao immediately bowed to Su Jing and thanked him.
Su Jing immediately waved her hand and said: "No, this is not an explanation. It's just my family's opinion. It's better to ask yourself what it is like."
What exactly did Lao Zhu think? Su Jing couldn't guarantee that what he said was right.
In any case, since I have never been an emperor and am not in that position, how can I possibly consider the entire situation.
"The student union."
Zhu Biao nodded.
"Okay, I haven't taught you a lesson in a long time. I'm not very qualified as a teacher."
Su Jing sighed slightly.
Although Zhu Biao was not taught that there were objective reasons, it was still the relationship between teacher and student, and he still had a relationship that he couldn't break away from.
Zhu Biao immediately said: "Master Su, aren't you teaching students now?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Su Jing frowned and said: "How can these be regarded as teachings? They are just political games. This kind of thing is just talk after dinner. It is not knowledge that can change the world at all."
Su Jing has no prejudice against political wisdom, but for him, political wisdom is just a tool for survival.
He wanted to teach Zhu Biao that this was not such a thing.
Moreover, Zhu Biao has the father of Zhu Yuanzhang, a top politician, and does not need his guidance.
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then apologized to Su Jing: "Master Su, the student knows his mistake. Please don't be angry, Su Jing."
Su Jing shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter. I'm not that narrow-minded. I haven't been back to Lishui County for a long time. I don't know what the situation at home is like."
Since she left Lishui County for Shandong a year ago, and now it's spring, Su Jing hasn't returned to her small courtyard for nearly two or three months.
Although in Niu Mansion there is good food and drink, no worries about food and clothing, and everything you need, but as the saying goes, a gold nest or a silver nest is not as good as a doghouse at home.
Zhu Biao was silent. Of course he knew that the reason why Su Jing could not go back temporarily was his father, Zhu Yuanzhang.
He had already made a plan in his heart, and he would mention it to Zhu Yuanzhang when he returned home and ask Su Jing to return to Lishui County.
"By the way, has the Firearms Bureau started construction now?"
Su Jing asked Su Jing.
Su Jing is still a little concerned about this historical event that was changed because of her.
Originally, the Ming Dynasty's department that specialized in manufacturing firearms would not appear until much later, and the mission of the Baoyuan Bureau would not disappear so soon.
Now that the Firearms Bureau is about to be established, it also means that Ming Dynasty's firearms manufacturing has entered a new chapter.
"The Ministry of Industry is already collecting materials and recruiting laborers, and construction will start soon. However, there are still some unresolved issues regarding the overall design of the Firearms Bureau. The students are wanting to ask Teacher Su for advice."
Zhu Biao replied unhurriedly.
The establishment of a new department, even if Zhu Yuanzhang fully implements it, still requires a lot of preparation work.
The most critical one is the architectural design of the Firearms Bureau, which is currently Zhu Biao's biggest headache.
"I'm not good at architectural design. I can only give you some advice."
Su Jing said with a smile.
He didn't know anything about architectural theory, but those were all theories of modern architecture.
The buildings of the Ming Dynasty were still mainly made of wooden structures. Su Jing really didn't know what to do.
If you understand, you understand; if you don’t understand, you don’t understand.
Su Jing never pretended to be unsure.
“What students need is Teacher Su’s opinion.”
Zhu Biao said with excitement.
In his eyes, Su Jing is omnipotent, and so is the construction of the Firearms Bureau.
"Then it's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. How about going to see it now?"
Su Jing said with a smile.
Niu Mansion is nice, but boring. Su Jing must go out if she can.
"Okay, Master Su, let's go to the Ministry of Industry right now."
Zhu Biao immediately took Su Jing to the Ministry of Industry.
…
Sincerity House.
Liu Bowen didn't look too good, just because his student Yang Xian became the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
For Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong, his judgment was extremely accurate, so of course Liu Bowen knew more about Yang Xian.
He knew very well that Yang Xian's ability and character were not enough to serve as the right prime minister.
Now Yang Xian may have made a mistake.
Liu Bowen was naturally very clear about Zhu Yuanzhang's considerations for promoting Yang Xian, so he became increasingly aware of the seriousness of the problem.
After all, he was the student recommended by himself, but Liu Bowen still couldn't bear to see Yang Xian meet a miserable end.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to enter the palace.
In Yang Xian's case, the breaking point always lies with Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
The eunuch's voice suddenly sounded, directly disrupting Liu Bowen's thoughts.
broken!
Almost immediately, Liu Bowen realized the seriousness of the problem.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually came to him in advance, which could only mean one thing. Zhu Yuanzhang had already expected that he would plead for Yang Xian.
Liu Bowen didn't think too much and went directly to the front yard, knelt down towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Liu Ji, a common man, comes to see your majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and smiled and said: "Bowen, get up quickly. I just came to see you. Why do you still call yourself a commoner? Even if you no longer serve in the court, you are still sincere."
Liu Bowen immediately stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around Liu Bowen's yard and found that it was no different from the last time he came here.
"Bowen, is it possible that you and I are just standing like this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Liu Bowen then turned sideways and led Zhu Yuanzhang to the living room.
As soon as he entered the living room, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that a landscape painting previously hung in the living room was missing.
"Bowen, I remember the last time I came here, wasn't there a landscape painting hanging in your hall? Why did you put it away?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty, the landscapes in the paintings cannot compare with the prosperous country of the Ming Dynasty. I have seen too much, and naturally I got tired of it, so I put it away."
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Bo Wen, what you are saying is that you are blaming me. Are you blaming me for not letting you go back to your hometown in Qingtian?"
Liu Bowen's idea of returning to his hometown has been mentioned to Zhu Yuanzhang many times, but Zhu Yuanzhang rejected it every time.
Now that I hear this, I naturally think of it.
"I don't dare."
Liu Bowen bowed.
"Hey, why are you acting like this again? It's boring for you and I, the monarch and my ministers, to always engage in these false etiquette."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Bo Wen, please be casual. This is your home, not the court."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Bowen nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I came here today because I have something to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Liu Bowen said respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, slightly surprised, and then said: "It seems that Bowen, you have guessed what I am going to ask, so what do you think?"
Liu Bowen said: "I dare not speculate on the holy will at will. Your Majesty, please state clearly what you are asking."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and looked at the respectful Liu Bowen in front of him, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Bo Wen, you must already know that Yang Xian is the right prime minister."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen nodded and said, "I just learned about it recently."
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Then you know, I originally wanted to make Yang Xian the left prime minister."
Liu Bowen, who had always been calm and calm, finally changed his expression at this moment. He asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, do you want Li Shanchang to step down?"
"Why, can't it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Anyway, he is seriously ill now, and he has resigned several times before. Wouldn't it be good to take this opportunity to let him retire?"
Liu Bowen immediately said: "Your Majesty, I believe that only Li Shanchang can hold the position of Prime Minister Zuo of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen, shook his head and said: "Bowen, Bowen, you are really hard for me to see through. How can Li Shanchang tell you clearly behind his back? You also know what the current situation is like. How can you speak for him like this?" It was like this last time, and it’s like this this time, what on earth do you think?”
The last time Lao Zhu was talking about was naturally the time when he asked Liu Bowen for advice on who should succeed him as prime minister.
Liu Bowen rejected both Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong, saying bluntly that it would be best for Li Shanchang to continue serving as Prime Minister Zuo.
Now he speaks for Li Shanchang like this. It is clear that Li Shanchang has said bad things about Liu Bowen behind his back many times, and Liu Bowen also knows it.
"I just want to make the Ming Dynasty more stable."
Liu Bowen lowered his head and said.
"good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "For the sake of making the Ming Dynasty more stable, now I tell you that Yang Xian is going against the grain and committing treachery in Zhongshu Province. What do you think you should do?"
Li Shanchang is his enemy, and you, Liu Bowen, spare no effort to speak for him.
Yang Xian is a student, can you, Liu Bowen, still serve the Ming Dynasty impartially?
Zhu Yuanzhang's words really forced Liu Bowen to express his stance, and directly blocked the possibility of Liu Bowen interceding for Yang Xian.
Liu Bowen was silent for a moment and said: "Yang Xian is responsible for his own fault. His Majesty must have dealt with it long ago. I have no objection."
Helpless, but helpless.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and said: "I still remember that Yang Xian was recommended to me by Bowen. It was in the 16th year of Zhizheng. Yang Xian came to the shogunate under your recommendation and was in charge of clerical work. He was very capable. I admire him very much, and in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."
"I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I feel a little sad when I think about it."
Lao Zhu felt sad about the changes in his ministers.
In his opinion, Yang Xian was loyal and capable of doing things, so he promoted Yang Xian.
However, something like this happened just after he was promoted, which really failed to live up to his expectations.
Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty has a good memory. Yang Xian's fault is due to the disadvantages of my teaching. Please punish him."
Without any attempt to distance himself from the relationship, Liu Bowen directly took Yang Xian's fault on himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Bo Wen, you are not a saint. You cannot control the changes in people's hearts. That is normal. Yang Xian's change has nothing to do with you."
Although Lao Zhu implicated many people due to some things in the later stages of his career, he is still relatively sober now.
He was not angry with Liu Bowen because of Yang Xian.
"I am ashamed of Your Majesty."
Liu Bowen knelt down directly towards Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's trust made him feel that he was not so unbearable.
"Get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang helped Liu Bowen up and said, "Bowen, do you know why I didn't make Yang Xian the left prime minister later?"
Liu Bowen was stunned. He really didn't think much about it just now.
Zhu Yuanzhang has already thought about things, which are difficult to change, especially such a major event.
"Mr. Su?"
Liu Bowen came to his senses and blurted out directly.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, it is Su Jing. Su Jing told me that Yang Xian should not be the prime minister. Unfortunately, I did not completely listen to him."
To be honest, Lao Zhu still felt a little regretful at this moment, regretting not listening to Su Jing.
It was not what he expected for Yang Xian's matter to turn out the way it did now.
Liu Bowen was startled for a moment and asked, "Did Mr. Su really say that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "Why should I lie to you? But I really didn't expect that Su Jing could even figure this out."
Even if Su Jing had calculated many things before, none of them were as shocking as this incident.
Because this is not only the fact that Yang Xian cannot be the prime minister, but also the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to make Yang Xian the prime minister.
The heavens are easy to calculate, but the human heart is unpredictable.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to promote Yang Xian as prime minister. He had never mentioned it to anyone before, and even he himself came up with the idea not long ago.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen immediately said: "Your Majesty, I thought Mr. Su could explain this matter to Your Majesty because he was really doing it for the Ming Dynasty."
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen who was a little anxious. He was stunned for a moment, then understood what Liu Bowen meant, and said with a smile: "Bowen, don't worry, I don't dare to do anything to Su Jing as long as the queen is here."
