Chapter 318 Zhu Yuanzhang Prepares for Zhu Di's Future!

Mu Ying just returned home.

Mrs. Mu, Feng Shi, came forward and said, "Marquis Yongchang is waiting for you in the study."

Mu Ying was slightly stunned.

The Marquis of Yongchang is Lan Yu. After returning from the expedition to the west, Lan Yu was awarded the title of Marquis of Yongchang.

Why did Lan Yu suddenly come to visit?

Mu Ying came to the study all the way with suspicion.

The two parties met and exchanged a few words.

In front of Mu Ying, Lan Yu didn't mince words and asked directly: "Mu Ying, what did Zhu Silang say?"

"You knew I was going to the Duke of Wei's mansion?" Mu Ying was surprised.

Lan Yu couldn't help but smile and pointed outside, "Not only do we know, but go and ask Zhuzi Lane and see which one you don't know?"

After the Spring Festival, Zhu Di changed from his usual low-key and tolerant attitude.

It has already attracted the attention of every government and family.

Recently, the whole of Jinling has been full of discussions about Zhu Silang.

Zhu Silang attracted more attention.

Mu Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, I suggest that the fourth child should be as low-key as Hongwu was in the ninth and tenth years, and was beaten hard by little sister Miaoyun..."

…

Lan Yu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her lips as she listened.

His thoughts were drawn back to the scene when Xu Miaoyun got married and the city gate opened.

At that time, this girl yelled at him once.

After getting married and having children, not only did she not restrain herself, but she became more and more powerful.

Zhu Silang really doted on this girl.

…

"Before leaving, I said harsh words to the fourth child and told him frankly: If one day, he has the intention to oppose the East Palace, you and I will definitely join forces..."

Lan Yu's eyes widened.

To be honest, he really wanted to join forces with Mu Ying and compete with Zhu Silang.

But I really don’t want this to happen.

Once this happens.

It means that Zhu Silang has rebelled!

Gathering his thoughts, he hurriedly asked: "How did Zhu Silang answer?"

"Come here!" Mu Ying smiled bitterly.

The fourth child was sitting opposite him at that time. When he said this with a smile, he felt a rush of confidence.

If someone else said this in front of him, he would take it as a joke.

Can……

This person is the fourth child, so that’s another matter.

Lan Yu's expression gradually became serious, her hands were placed on the armrests of the chair, curled up without noticing.

Asked: "What does Zhu Silang mean by saying this? Is he really going to fight for the heir apparent?"

"No." Mu Ying smiled and shook her head, "The fourth child's meaning is very clear, that is, he will not be low-key or tolerant in the future. If we regard him as an enemy because of this, he will not be afraid and let us come over!"

Lan Yu's tense body subconsciously relaxed.

‘Since when did Zhu Silang make me feel like I’m facing a formidable enemy? ’

The physical reaction shocked him.

After he relaxed and regained consciousness, he realized how strong the reaction in his body was at that moment!

Is he so nervous about the possibility of Zhu Silang's rebellion?

Even, there is a faint feeling of fear!

I am also afraid of it on weekdays.

But he didn't realize that the pressure Zhu Silang put on him was so deep! So strong!

Your Majesty didn't let him do this!

I want to laugh, but I can't.

For a moment, the study fell into silence.

…

at the same time.

Hu Mansion.

Several maids, carrying a mirror, stood gingerly beside Hu Weiyong's bed.

Hu Weiyong stared at the mirror with a gloomy face.

The right side of the face is making various subtle movements.

The left side of his face seemed frozen.

If I raise my hand to close my left eyelid, I cannot open it on my own. I have to lift my eyelid up with my hand to open my eyes again.

After the unremitting efforts of the imperial doctors, his symptoms...

The imperial doctor kept promising that he was getting better.

But he felt that it was just changing from one state to another.

In the past, the left side of my face would keep twitching ferociously.

I don’t smoke anymore.

But lost consciousness.

The left and right sides of the face are like a yin and yang face.

Half of his body was still unconscious.

‘Zhu Silang! It was all Zhu Silang who made him look like a human, a ghost! ’

The right hand that could still move freely was tightly clenched.

The maid saw that Hu Weiyong's yin and yang face gradually turned completely gloomy, and the hand holding the mirror trembled slightly.

"Dad, the Korean father-in-law is visiting!"

At this moment, the maids heard the sounds of nature.

Hu Dahu took Li Shanchang and pushed the door open.

Hu Weiyong suppressed his turbulent emotions and waved his hand. The maid hurriedly picked up the mirror and left as if she had been granted amnesty.

"Teacher."

Seeing Hu Weiyong's forced smile, Li Shanchang sat down on the small stool beside the bed and expressed relief: "Sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes away like threads. Being impatient is not conducive to recovery."

…

The right half of Hu Weiyong's face showed a smile and nodded, "My teacher taught me, and my students will remember it."

With a wink, he sent Hu Dahu away and asked, "Teacher, hasn't Emperor Zhu revealed the candidate for prime minister to you yet?"

The old fox has been active these days.

Ask colleagues to make recommendations.

But Emperor Zhu remained silent.

At present, in Jinling City, the calls for Zhu Silang to be the left prime minister are getting louder and louder.

The old fox couldn't sit still.

Of course, he never wanted Zhu Silang to take his place.

That would be the greatest humiliation to him!

It would be best if Li Shanchang takes over.

When he mentioned his own affairs, Li Shanchang's expression became slightly grim, and he lost the "open-mindedness" that he had when comforting Hu Weiyong.

He nodded and said solemnly: "No."

He very much suspected that the public opinion in the city was promoted by Emperor Zhu's orders from the Jinyi Guards.

Paving the way for the appointment of Zhu Silang as left prime minister.

That's why I rushed to find Hu Weiyong.

"It is reported that Emperor Zhu sent someone to Xu's house tonight to ask Zhu Silang to attend the morning court tomorrow morning."

Hu Weiyong's only right eye that could move flexibly narrowed slightly for a moment, "Master, I am worried that Emperor Zhu will announce tomorrow morning that he accepts my resignation and let Zhu Silang serve as the left prime minister?"

Hu Weiyong's tone was a little hurried.

He clenched his right fist slightly.

He would never allow Zhu Silang to take his place!

That would be a humiliation!

"Master, I will write another resignation letter immediately, and at the same time, in the letter, I will recommend you to be the prime minister!"

Li Shanchang's eyebrows slightly raised.

He came to Hu's house late at night for this purpose.

Hu Weiyong is the prime minister.

He recommended someone when he resigned.

Generally speaking, the emperor would consider it carefully.

Just like when he resigned and recommended Hu Weiyong.

Emperor Zhu appointed Hu Weiyong as the right prime minister.

Why is this so?

In the final analysis, it is still a factional issue.

He left a group of colleagues who were close to him in the court.

If Emperor Zhu did not choose Hu Weiyong as prime minister.

He chose someone else.

In the court, his students and old friends would not cooperate, and the court might come to a standstill.

Although it is not like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the father died and the son succeeded the official.

But there is still a hidden inheritance in the officialdom.

Between teachers and students, between friends...

As long as Hu Weiyong recommends him, he has a great chance of becoming the left prime minister!

...

The next day.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Fengtian Hall.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, please stand up!"

"Thank you, your Majesty!"

After the simple ceremony between the emperor and his ministers, the ministers stood up, and secretly spied on Zhu Di standing in front of the military commanders.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di, smiled, and then looked solemn, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to report?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Zhu Di looked at the voice and saw that it was Chen Ning, the right imperial censor.

This man is very talented.

At the beginning of the old man's uprising, he followed the old man and was considered an old minister.

He was talented and courageous, but his temperament was harsh and mean.

When he went to Jiangsu to collect taxes, he used a red-hot iron to brand people. Jiangsu officials and people gave Chen Ning a nickname, "Chen Branding".

Later, he was promoted to a high-ranking official in the court.

Perhaps he thought that it was because of this harshness that he was appreciated by the old man.

After this guy returned to the court to serve as an official, he became even more harsh and mean.

The old man once criticized Chen Ning.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, after he was demoted, something happened.

Chen Ning's eldest son persuaded Chen Ning, but was beaten hundreds of times by Chen Ning and was beaten to death alive.

When the old man heard about this, the old man commented: "Chen Ning is like this to his son, what kind of heart would he have for his king and father? '

This word reached Chen Ning's ears.

Chen Ning might be panicked.

He was not close to Hu Weiyong before.

But since the ninth year of Hongwu, the two of them quickly became close.

These are what Mao Laoliu told him.

This retired Jinyiwei leader is an encyclopedia of officialdom.

There is nothing in the court and local officials that Mao Laoliu doesn't know.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Hu asked me to submit a letter of resignation to Your Majesty. Please approve it. At the same time, Prime Minister Hu also recommends Duke Hanguo to share Your Majesty's worries."

Chen Ning's rigid voice interrupted Zhu Di's thoughts.

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

Li Shanchang resigned and recommended Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong resigned and recommended Li Shanchang.

Did their teacher and student treat the position of prime minister of the Ming Dynasty as their own land?

He was 100% sure that the old man must be very angry at this time.

His eyes secretly looked at Longting...

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger flashed in his eyes, and he took the letter from the returning eunuch...

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di nervously.

After a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial, moved his eyes, and fell on Li Shanchang: "Bai Shi, Hu Weiyong recommended you, you are his teacher, he is your student, you recommended him at the beginning, now he recommends you, do you have the confidence to take over this heavy responsibility!"

Puff!

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing slightly and lowered his head.

Zhu Biao heard the noise and looked over.

Zhu Di's shoulders shrugged slightly.

The old man is so funny.

This is clearly a hint that the position of prime minister in the court is almost a private land for you teachers and students.

He also asked Li Shanchang if he had confidence.

He said it like this.

It's almost like asking directly: Do you teachers and students have shame?

Li Shanchang's heart fell into an ice cave, trying to force a smile and lowering his head, "Your Majesty, I am old and weak, and I really have no energy to take on the heavy responsibility of the left prime minister. Please be considerate of your majesty!"

All officials looked at Li Shanchang with sympathy.

During this period, Li Shanchang was active, and everyone knew it.

There were countless people who recommended Li Shanchang.

After so many days of hard work, the emperor just lightly hinted, "Do you have any shame as a teacher and student?"

Li Shanchang had to swallow his blood with a broken tooth.

Humph!

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang and snorted in his heart.

"You have followed us for so many years and have made great contributions. At this age, how can we not be sympathetic? Liu Bowen has been hiding in his hometown of Qingtian for these years and has enjoyed a few years of happiness. We are going to let him replace Hu Weiyong and serve as the left prime minister. What do you think?"

Li Shanchang looked up in astonishment.

All the officials were astonished.

Zhu Biao was also surprised.

Even Zhu Di was surprised.

Liu Bowen as prime minister?

This has never happened in history.

All the officials subconsciously looked at Zhu Di. Everyone knew that Liu Bowen was invited back by Zhu Silang.

Moreover, Zhu Silang had saved Liu Bowen's life.

The emperor appointed Liu Bowen as prime minister. Was it related to Zhu Silang?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down from a high place, with a broad vision, and took in everyone's expressions.

However, his attention was more focused on Zhu Biao.

Seeing Zhu Biao's calm expression, he nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Bowen was appointed as prime minister.

For the fourth son.

He could be the fourth son, but in the end it was for Biaoer.

The sharpening plan, the foundation of the rural village community, and the northern expedition to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.

In the end, it all concerns what kind of country Biaoer will take over in the future.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang shifted his gaze and fell on Li Shanchang again, "Bai Shi?"

Hearing the voice, Li Shanchang raised his head hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I support Mr. Liu to serve as the left prime minister!"

His fingers curled slightly, and his heart was bleeding!

At this moment, he was a jumping clown!

Zhu Silang was a demoted prince.

Liu Bowen escaped because of his connection with him.

Now he has to serve as the left prime minister?

"What about you?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at all the officials.

"I support you!" Song Lian was the first to stand up and support him.

Liu Bowen's talent, for various reasons, was not able to serve as prime minister and assist the king in governing the world, which was a great pity.

At present, the court is about to promote the rural village community.

It is most appropriate for Liu Bowen to be in charge, who is selfless and fair.

Song Lian thought, and then excitedly shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

It was too abrupt.

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled.

Then, the corners of his lips opened to both sides.

Song Lian, this old thing, is just an old scholar.

If he didn't really think you were wise, he would never flatter anyone or anything.

"I support you!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

...

After the prince came back to his senses, he took the lead in supporting.

Liu Bowen is better than Zhu Silang as prime minister, right?

Other officials followed closely and praised Zhu Yuanzhang for his wisdom.

On the one hand, the emperor clearly chose Liu Bowen, and Liu Bowen's prestige and ability were sufficient.

On the other hand, Liu Bowen was better than Zhu Silang!

Zhu Yuanzhang knew what the officials were thinking.

Hum!

He hummed in his heart: 'In the future, we will definitely let Lao Si come to the court as prime minister. '

To abolish the prime minister system, Lao Si must cooperate with him.

He also let Lao Si serve as the last prime minister in history, leaving this honor to Lao Si!

However, before that, Lao Si had to go to the local officialdom to gain experience.

The pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know all aspects of the Ming Dynasty's civilians, officialdom, and military.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Since you all agree, this matter is settled."

After speaking, he winked at the eunuch.

The eunuch took out the imperial edict, "Zhu Silang, the top scholar, accepts the edict..."

Zhu Di hurriedly knelt down to listen to the announcement.

"Order the top scholar Zhu Silang to go to Jianning Prefecture in Fujian and serve as the county magistrate of Jian'an County. Promote the rural village community in Jian'an County. Allow Zhu Silang to take all his personal soldiers with him and the court will provide for him..."

The little eunuch blabbered a lot.

Allow Zhu Di to bring 500 brothers with him.

Also, allow Zhu Di to bring the children of Tuqiao Village with him.

Allow Zhu Di to execute first and report later in Jian'an County.

...

The morning court ended in shock of all officials.

"Zhu Silang is a county magistrate, and he still has to bring 500 personal soldiers with him?"

"The most ridiculous thing is that your majesty also allows Zhu Silang to bring the children of Tuqiao Village? This is clearly to train those children to be loyal to Zhu Silang!"

"What on earth is your majesty going to do!"

"Don't forget, Zhu Silang has another power?"

"What power?"

"The imperial gold medal!"

...

Imperial study.

Zhu Di's mind was still confused, and he followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the imperial study.

The old man was suddenly so nice to him, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and saw Zhu Di in a daze. He smiled unhappily and said, "I am your father. It is natural for me to treat you well?"

There was bitterness in his words.

The ninth and tenth years of Hongwu.

He went too far.

So far, the fourth child has reservations about him.

"Do you know why Dad asked you to go to Jianning Prefecture and Jian'an County in Fujian?"

He prepared more for the fourth child.

This time, he also made plans for the fourth child's future...

Just make up for the ninth and tenth years of Hongwu.
