Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 621 Testing the Emperor's Bottom Line

"Li Gong, we all don't want to submit to that tyranny, so you can relax!"

"Let me wait to participate in the scientific examination with the younger generation, who can bear such a shame and humiliation."

"Ruling the world is the responsibility of scholar-bureaucrats. That person who emphasizes military power but despises scholar-bureaucrats, we must not give in to this. We must let him understand that we are the pillars of the world."

The ministers of all dynasties shouted one after another, venting their dissatisfaction with Zhu Houzhao.

Their attitude also made Li Shanchang very happy. As long as they work together, He Chou can't take back what belonged to them from Zhu Houzhao.

If noble scholar-bureaucrats can't do whatever they want, what's the use of their skin.

Therefore, they must not compromise. They must unite and force that one to back down.

One retreat doesn't mean anything, but the more times they retreat, the easier it will be for them to regain control of the overall political situation and continue to do whatever they want.

Waving his hands to signal the crowd to stop, Li Shanchang put on a leader's posture, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you are eager to set things right, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, it needs to be done step by step."

"The emperor that we are not serving is still more domineering than His Majesty Hongwu. To treat such an emperor, blindly persecuting him will only be counterproductive."

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Shanchang's loyal younger brother Hu Weiyong asked, "What's your opinion, Mr. Li?"

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Li Shanchang. In terms of scheming, they were all inferior to Li Shanchang.

"I don't dare to take it for a high opinion, the old man is just expressing his thoughts!"

Li Shanchang enjoyed everyone's expectant eyes, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon. If we want to get back what belongs to us from that person, we must first figure out who The idea of ​​​​in order to prescribe the right medicine."

"The old man has studied the life of that man, and he summed it up that he doesn't take hard and soft, and he is the only one who respects himself. It is very difficult, very difficult to wrestle with such an emperor."

He shook his head heavily, his face gradually became serious, and then continued: "So, before we act, we can't act too hastily, we should test that person's bottom line first."

Who's bottom line?
People didn't understand it.

Under the doubtful eyes of everyone, Li Shanchang explained: "The one who doesn't kill us means that there is still room for us. This is our existing advantage, but we still have no idea how that one plans to use us." And know."

"This is related to the way we will act in the future. If that person pays more attention to us, we can act a little more aggressively and gradually get back what we lost."

"If that person's attention to us is limited to some local officials, then we can't continue to test the king's prestige. We should lie dormant in time, hide and shrink our heads, and leave it for later, and make plans when the new king takes over!"

Everyone thought about it carefully, and felt that Li Shanchang's words were not unreasonable. If they understood the emperor's attitude towards them, it would be much easier for them to act in the future.

Everyone immediately asked: "What is Mr. Li planning to do?"

"Since ancient times, the royal family has used nothing more than two methods to win over important officials. One is high-ranking officials and high salaries, prosperity and wealth, and the other is marriage between monarchs and ministers."

"That one loves power as much as one's life, is not good at women, and has only one son and one daughter. That Princess Qinghuang is still unmarried by Yuanying, and she is deeply loved by him."

When Li Shanchang said this, everyone immediately understood his calculations, and it had to be said that this old guy was really cunning, and he actually put his idea on Zhu Qinghuang's head.

"Li Gong's marriage is fake, and the real purpose is to use this to test his attitude towards us?"

Someone with a low IQ asked softly.

"Of course!"

Li Shanchang said with a smile: "But it's not all right. The temptation is true, and the marriage is also true. If that beloved daughter marries a son of any of our families, we will have a solid backer. Don't worry about that." The bit will kill me and wait."

"What if the one refuses to marry?"

This is also what Li Shanchang is most worried about. He said with a heavy face: "If the marriage fails, we need to be vigilant. We need to be cautious in our daily actions, and we must not be caught by that person."

Marriage represents the attitude of the emperor. If you agree, it means that you still value them. If you don't agree, it means that they are dispensable.

Li Shanchang's so-called testing the emperor's bottom line is to find out the emperor's attitude towards them, the survivors of various dynasties.

"Li Gong's plan is very profound, but, to marry that person, which son should be the best candidate."

Hu Weiyong stood up and sang against Li Shanchang with a tacit understanding.

Li Shanchang looked at the crowd, but they were evasive and no one responded.

It is a good way to test the emperor's bottom line by means of marriage, but the risk is too high. If that person loses Qingqing's life because of this, it is not worth it.

Everyone is an old fox with a deep reputation in the city, and they all know the emperor's domineering character. How could they be fooled by Li Shanchang and run to the emperor to talk loudly at the risk of losing their lives.

Showing off in front of that domineering, murderous Emperor Taiwu is tantamount to dancing before the gate of hell.

Seeing that everyone was silent and everyone became dumb, Li Shanchang almost vomited blood out of anger.

When there are benefits, these people are braver than the pioneers on the battlefield, and they always rush to the front, afraid that if they run slowly, the benefits will be less;

But when faced with danger, each of these people is more timid than the other, and each of them is more proficient in the way to protect oneself wisely, and they are more stable than others.

If it is beneficial, go forward with all your strength, if it is not beneficial, you will be extremely conscientious. Li Shanchang has completely seen the ugly faces of these people.

Shuzi lacks and seeks!

Although he scolded these people in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. One day in the future, there will be a time when these people will be needed.

Having the support of these people is an extremely powerful political capital.

It is true that the various dynasties were annexed by the Taiwu Dynasty, but the network resources of these people are still there, and the integration will be a very good card.

"Since there is no suitable son in your family, let the old man and young son Li Sui come!"

Li Shanchang sighed pretending to be helpless.

There must be risks in letting his son marry the emperor. After all, Li Shanchang is not ignorant of the current emperor's methods.

It's just that he is the founding father of the country, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with him, he should not kill him.

Killing the founding father, how the people of the world should view the emperor, sitting on the supreme throne, the emperor has many issues to consider.

"Gong Yi, Li Gong, I admire him the most."

"Mr. Li has made outstanding achievements in my Ming Dynasty, and he will surely succeed in no time."

Everyone sent a rainbow fart to Li Shanchang, and the ink in their stomachs was poured out crazily, and everyone was very happy.

Li Shanchang is willing to be the first bird, which is naturally excellent, so they don't have to take risks.

Li Shanchang is the founding father of the Ming Dynasty and has the reputation of "Xiao He of the Ming Dynasty". Even if the emperor is angered, the emperor will probably not kill Li Shanchang, but they don't have so many amulets, and they have to develop steadily, so as not to die if they are not careful up.
