Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 479

"Hehe, teach me how to be brave." Liu Bowen smiled, and then his face became serious.

"Brother originally has the talent to know the world, why is he so obsessed with power, fame and fortune, blinded by a single leaf, and even ignorant of Mount Tai?"

"I have been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and I really can't bear my brother to end up in such a sad way. Therefore, I came here to pay a visit, and I have a word of persuasion."

Li Shanchang looked at the old enemy in front of him who had been fighting for almost his whole life.A few years ago, he was in charge of the Huaixi branch, while Liu Bowen mediated between Qingliu and fought against Huaixi officials.At that time, I was better than Liu Bowen.I was named Duke of Korea, but Liu Bowen was just a sincere uncle; my disciple Hu Weiyong took over as prime minister, and after Liu Bowen became an official and raised him, there was no one in Qingliu's lineage.

However, times have changed, and now Liu Bowen is in high spirits, it seems that the whole person is dozens of years old, and he has even won the emperor's trust again, and he is no longer the same as before.And what about myself?But he was beaten by the emperor and almost died.He is also very old now, and there is no way to compete with this old opponent anymore.

"What words do you have to persuade? It's nothing more than to persuade the old man to know the destiny and the current affairs, and be cautious from now on." Li Shanchang laughed at himself. "You just saw it, even the old man's disciples were kicked out, who else would come to look for me, this old man?"

"I only ask that your majesty can let me go home and die in the countryside. It will be considered a great blessing from heaven."

Li Shanchang said in a depressed mood.He expelled his disciples from the mansion, which was a manifestation of severing his own path to power in front of Liu Bowen.After all, even cronies don't have a trace of dignity left, so who will care about the face of this old Xiangguo in the future?Now he only hates that he was obsessed with power in the past, and only wanted to win over the court officials, but he forgot the emperor's feelings.

He thought that he was an old minister, the first contribution to enlightenment, even if His Majesty had any dissatisfaction in his heart, he would still take care of his own merits and hard work.

But I forgot the truth that being with you is like being with a tiger.Now the emperor on the dragon throne, although he helped him rise from the wilderness step by step, he has to admit that he is already more like a hero than any emperor in the history books. host.

And any hero will absolutely not allow the existence of a powerful minister who intends to control the court...

"Brother Li, why did you say that? My brother is definitely not trying to ridicule you." Liu Bowen's face was still serious, and there was sincerity in his eyes.

"Brother's first contribution to enlightenment is well deserved. As for what he did before, if we talk about it, it's just a white jade with slight flaws, so it's not worth it."

"If brother sinks like this, it will be a final conclusion. How will the history books evaluate it in the future? It's just that he was very virtuous at the beginning, but he was stupid when he was old, so that he was hated by the emperor...Brother is a hero, is it willing Is it so determined by later generations?"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Shanchang was also slightly moved, and turned to Liu Bowen, "What do you mean?"

"As a virtuous brother, I must have seen it. Now His Majesty has lofty aspirations and is dedicated to revitalizing China, aiming to create a great cause far surpassing that of our ancestors." Liu Bowen said. "This is the time for employing people, and it is the time for talented and capable people to show their ambitions."

"Although brother has a minor fault, why can't he redeem his fault and even make new ones?"

"Besides... to lead the court, how can you be self-contained and happy? Not only can you achieve the merits of the world, but you can also enjoy the Taimiao, which will be worshiped by future generations. Brother, don't you want to create new achievements for China? Opening up the territory and opening up the land will also make your Li family call you lonely and widowed from now on?"

Liu Bowen said in a step-by-step manner.

Li Shanchang has already matured, if you tell him how many romantic figures are there, if you look at the present, it will definitely not move his heart.But Liu Bowen had already expected this old opponent's desire for power, and lured him with the benefits of building a country, but Li Shanchang was quickly hooked.

When he heard the emperor's report on this matter in the palace, he had already deeply regretted it.It is really a pity that in order to win over a few courtiers, they lost the opportunity to build a country overseas.

Although even if I really want to go overseas, I don’t think there will be any good days, and it must be difficult and difficult at the beginning.But it was precisely because of this that Li Shanchang believed that Lao Zhu must be sincere. The army of the Ming Dynasty helped conquer foreign countries, and then let them do the hard work. It was also a good deal for the Ming court.

Li Shanchang is not afraid of hard work, otherwise he would not have taken refuge in Lao Zhu in the past.What he wants is to be able to truly control the power of one party, as well as the name behind him.It would be even better if the Li family could continue to prosper and continue to prosper.

And what kind of riches and honors can compare with the founding of the country and the solitude?

"What should I do?" Li Shanchang was moved.

Liu Bowen was overjoyed, and said to Li Shanchang: "This matter is easy! It is nothing more than assisting His Majesty, and the whole party is focused on cleaning up the court."

"When the imperial court is solemn, the Ming Dynasty is strong, and overseas vassal states are conquered, I will recommend Brother Li to suppress the vassal states."

"Brother has the talent of Xiao He. When it comes to how to manage a place, you are more experienced than anyone else. In order to better develop the vassal state and make it become my land of China as soon as possible, Your Majesty has no dissatisfaction." Brother Yun's reason for leaving the town."

"With the merits of developing out of the town, are you afraid that His Majesty will not recognize you as the head of the Li family?"

Liu Bowen said.

Li Shanchang lowered his head and pondered, but Liu Bowen's words can be said to be heart-to-heart.If the imperial court really wants to develop the land of Fanbang, his talents and learning can really come in handy.

Moreover, His Majesty obviously wants to clean up the court, and maybe even plans to clear up all the present courtiers.In this way, there must be a minister who can be used to lead the affairs of the DPRK and China.This courtier not only needs to have the prestige of being ordered in the face of danger, but also needs to be completely under the emperor's control, so that after the purge of the courtiers, it will not become a trend that cannot be lost.

The current cabinet obviously does not have such ability, and although Liu Bowen is talented, he does not have such prestige.No matter what happens, only Li Shanchang himself can temporarily take the position of the pillar.After all, I was already old, so I didn't have to worry about my lingering position, and I had something in the emperor's hands, so if there was a slight change, the emperor didn't have to show mercy.

"The old man knows." Li Shanchang thought and thought, and nodded towards Liu Bowen. "As a minister of His Majesty, this old man should devote himself to the end and die."

"Your Majesty wants to achieve a great cause that will last forever. Although this old man is old, how can he not help His Majesty?"

"If so." Liu Bowen saluted Li Shanchang solemnly. "It's my great luck!"

……

"Huh, it's still considered that Li Shanchang knows the practical affairs." In the palace, a smile appeared on the corner of Lao Zhu's mouth after receiving the report. "In this way, there is no need to worry that no one will be available in the court and the world will be in turmoil in the future."

"With his support, Li Shanchang, we can start with peace of mind and clean up all these corrupt officials!"

"The talents of the Korean public can stabilize the court." Zhu Biao nodded in agreement. "It's just Dad, after all, Han Han Gong is not available now. If there are really so many rats in the court, how can Han Han Gong make up so many scorpions?"

"What's more, the Taxation Department alone cannot investigate the abuses of many officials in the DPRK and China. What reasons should be used to investigate other officials who have nothing to do with the Ministry of Revenue? It can't be groundless, right?"

"He, Li Shanchang, only has one pair of hands, so naturally he can't make up so many gaps. But Biaoer, haven't you forgotten? There are still a lot of vicious dogs locked up in the prison!" Old Zhu chuckled.

"Besides, we have already prepared charges for officials who have nothing to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they can be questioned justifiably..." Lao Zhu said, picking up the one on the imperial case, and stamped it with a seal. Blank document...
