Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[At the beginning of the fourth year of Hongwu, it was not just Liu Ji's escape that finally made Li Shanchang make up his mind.

Judging from historical records, the real beginning of the Hu Weiyong case was at the end of the third year of Hongwu.

In this year's great awards, the Zhongshu Province finally officially confirmed two prime ministers, namely Li Shanchang, the left prime minister, and Xu Da, the right prime minister.

Although Xu Da was the prime minister, he was training troops in Beiping and Shanxi. At the same time, he was also responsible for the defense of the northern front, and was accumulating strength to go out to attack the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, the prime minister could only be regarded as a nominal one.

Li Shanchang was on the contrary. Although he was officially appointed as the Prime Minister of Zuo in the third year of Hongwu, he was already enjoying the power of the Prime Minister of Zuo before the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

And unlike other heroes, Li Shanchang received the PROMAX coupon to avoid death in the reward. Others can be exempted from death once, and his can be exempted twice, and he can also block his son once, which can cost two and a half yuan.

Since there was no seal and no advancement, and there was Xiao Hu, a fellow villager in Zhongshu Province, Li Shanchang decided to take a step back and wait and see.

It was nominally an illness, which sounded reasonable, but Li Shanchang was only fifty-seven years old that year, and historically he lived seventy-seven years old, so this vague illness was more like an excuse.

Prime Minister Zuo is ill, but someone has to handle government affairs, right? Naturally, Yang Xian, a native of eastern Zhejiang who was serving as Zhongshu Zuocheng at the time, quickly expressed his opinion:

If Li Shanchang really recovers from his illness, wouldn't I want to become a deputy to a full-time job?

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Liu Ji had a heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Yuanzhang before running away, and Lao Zhu asked Liu Ji who could be the prime minister.

Although this dialogue is more likely to be processed by later generations, Liu Ji's comments about the characters are still relatively accurate from the standpoint of hindsight.

For example, Li Shanchang is said to be able to reconcile the generals, but Wang Guangyang is said to be shallow. The more inscribed comments are on Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong, saying that Yang Xian has talent but no weapons and selfish desires, and Hu Weiyong is like a bad horse, used for driving. If it does, it will inevitably lead to bad things.

Yang Xian defected to Lao Zhu a year later than Hu Weiyong. Although he also missed the window period of the veteran group, unlike Hu Weiyong who could only run errands and write letters, Yang Xian really took advantage of the desperate opportunity, so He quickly became a close confidant of Lao Zhu. He even entered the Zhongshu Province one year earlier than Hu Weiyong, and he also understood the meaning of being a native of eastern Zhejiang:

He didn't give gold to Li Shanchang, he came to mix sand with Li Shanchang.

But what disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang was that Yang Xian didn't think he was a piece of sand, he regarded himself as a thunder child.

Faced with Li Shanchang who was hanging up, Yang Xian set off three clear-cut tactics for taking office. First, he kicked out his Huaixi people and replaced them with people from Eastern Zhejiang. Second, he falsely accused the right deputy prime minister Wang Guangyang and sent him to Hainan.

What Yang Xian will do next is also predictable: Zhongshu Province can only have one prime minister, and that is Prime Minister Yang!

However, this behavior provoked a counterattack from Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong. The two Dingyuan people worked together to package all Yang Xian's dirty information and sent it to Lao Zhu. Zhu Yuanzhang's response was simple and he directly terminated the matter.

After all, for Lao Zhu, what he needs is a Zhongshu Ministry that can restrain each other but can do things, not a Zhongshu Ministry that only criticizes and fights among the parties.

After Yang Xian was executed, there were not many options before Lao Zhu, so Wang Guangyang was hastily recalled to be appointed Prime Minister on the right, and Hu Weiyong, who had contributed a lot, was promoted to Prime Minister on the left. This can be regarded as a new constraint structure of Zhongshu Province.

But what Lao Zhu didn't expect was that Wang Guangyang could directly speak out even in the face of the Prime Minister's temptation of power. He was either voting in favor or drinking heavily. The actual talker of Zhongshu Province became Hu Weiyong.

In view of this, Li Shanchang also felt that he could finally recover from his illness with peace of mind.

But neither Lao Zhu nor Li Shanchang expected that compared with Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian was as pure as a little white flower. 】

At present, the only three people in the Huagai Palace who can truly be said to be the founders of the country are Li Shanchang, Li Wenzhong, and Xu Da.

Xu Da knew the cause of his death, and he had been in the border town for a long time. He was only thinking about destroying Meng Yuan, so he didn't care much about Hu Weiyong's affairs.

Li Shanchang felt a little uncomfortable on his back - he was sweating so much that his clothes stuck to his back, which made him feel a little chilly.

The one with the most relaxed mentality is undoubtedly Li Wenzhong. After all, before and after the Hu Weiyong incident, he either went on expeditions in Bashu and Beidi, or trained troops locally. From beginning to end, he was not involved in this matter, let alone his irreconcilable relationship with the Emperor's family...

Therefore, Li Wenzhong was quite dissatisfied when he heard Guangmu say that the noble military officials were contaminated by Hu Yuan's aura:

"The spirit of bloody courage is not unique to the barbarians, so why is it so criticized?"

Xu Da shook his head and said in a low voice:

"The bloody bravery of the Han and Tang dynasties is different from the bloody bravery of the Song Dynasty, and it is also different from the bloody bravery of Hu and Yuan. We can only know the events of the Han, Tang and Song dynasties with the help of books, and the situation of Hu and Yuan is right before our eyes."

His uncle's words made Li Wenzhong a little silent.

In fact, Guangmu's few words were not wrong. As a veteran who fought in all directions, he knew that before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, too much violence in the army had always been an unavoidable problem.

It is nothing new for Han children to speak nonsense. After all, Hu Yuanzhi was very harsh on the exploitation of Han surnames. It is normal for five or six generations in a hundred years to have a generation of people who admire Hu Feng in order to survive.

In the end, the athletes who fought against the Yuan Dynasty together with his uncle were both brave and brave, and they also disobeyed orders and did not abide by the rules. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Li Wenzhong and his uncle spent a lot of time training troops and managing local areas. What they did was not just Clean up the dust?

What my uncle said about restoring China is simple to say, but it also requires a concerted effort to implement it slowly.

However, uncle Xu Da was able to be crowned a hero by later generations, but he passed by hastily, not even as good as the blue jade with a muscle in his head. Why is this?

These thoughts were just turning around in Li Wenzhong's head, and he heard from the other side of the light curtain that Li Shanchang was narrow-minded. Ah", which made him laugh out loud on the spot.

Not surprisingly, a question followed:

"Li Wenzhong, why are you laughing!"

Li Wenzhong suddenly felt a little aggrieved, because he clearly saw that the corners of his uncle Xu Da's mouth were also curved a lot. Why didn't he ask the commoner brothers?

Criticisms come from the inside, but on the surface Li Wenzhong pointed at Li Shanchang with a confident expression:

"Son... I am laughing at this slander of the great minister's honor for future generations!"

"Just now Caichen was very offensive to Da Si Xian with his words, but he was not scolded bloody."

"It shows that what he said is untrue, and it shows that Da Si Xian is a very open-minded person!"

Regarding this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Li Wenzhong deeply, and then comforted Li Shanchang who didn't know what to do:

"Later generations also joked that I was the disciple of the Song Emperor who studied Buddhism. Such speculation should be regarded as a joke."

This made Li Shanchang let out a big sigh of relief. Li Wenzhong nodded aside:

"Da Si Xian, just think this is unofficial history. I can testify that you really confiscated the two hundred gold!"

Li Shanchang's breath that was about to be released was suddenly held in his chest for a long time and could not come up. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and said:

"Then I'll thank Duke Cao first."

"Thank you for not being accepted." Li Wenzhong waved his hands indifferently, and then said sincerely:

"When you have some free time, it will be enough if you can show me the iron coupons and tanning codes as a token of thanks."

The two distinguished nobles were quarreling here, while Zhu Yuanzhang was silently staring at the light screen, and glanced at Li Shanchang imperceptibly from the corner of his eye:

Seventy-seven?
