People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 387 The title of blood, empty the king
Chang Yuchun had a hippie smile on his face.

"If your majesty goes on an expedition, you don't just need a Xuanwu army, do you?
You also understand my temperament, teaching people to train soldiers is something I can't do!
You asked me to do the job of the governor, and I can't do it well!

It's better to give Chen a job and let him work hard for Daming!

Your Majesty, tell me, how is that old boy Zhang Yi doing? Do you want me to practice my hand? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite moved.

He knew Chang Yuchun's ability, it would be a pity if he was placed in the court.

But Lao Zhu also understood his physical condition, if he was let go to Mobei, he estimated that he would be able to collect his body in a short time.

The most embarrassing thing about him now is that because of his body, Chang Yuchun couldn't charge forward like before.

But Chang Yuchun, who has lost this ability, is still one of the two pillars of Ming Dynasty?
Instead of letting his brilliance fade away in Mobei, it is better to let him create miracles in a new field.

Moreover, the young Daming Navy still needs a famous general who can hold the field.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"It will definitely work..."

Chang Yuchun patted his chest and assured the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently, agreeing to Chang Yuchun's voluntary invitation.

"Your Majesty, this map was originally obtained from the hands of Daoist Xiao, don't you...

Are you not going to let him go down the mountain? "

Zhang Yi is not in the capital, but he has a ubiquitous presence.

In his opinion, Zhang Yi shouldn't have stayed on Longhu Mountain. It would be a waste to the court and the world.

As an insider of the assassination that year, Chang Yuchun was the one Zhu Yuanzhang confided in.

So after Old Zhu heard the words, he laughed at himself:
"What about calling him back?

Should I meet him in the court hall, or face him as father and son of the Huang family? "

Chang Yuchun was speechless.

Zhang normal year rejected the position of celestial master, and directly took away the steps from which the emperor went down.

A king, does he need to save face?
Let Zhu Yuanzhang have a showdown under inappropriate circumstances, and Lao Zhu will not be able to step down.

But if he continues to associate with Zhang Yi as the Huang family's father and son?

Let's not talk about whether that child is as easy to fool as he used to be as he grows up.

It will be very difficult for me to leave the palace by myself in the future.

Traveling in microservices is something that shouldn't be done in the first place. If nothing happens, it's fine. If something happens once, there may be a second time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not a willful emperor, and he also paid for his own willfulness.

"I have also reflected on what happened back then, if I hadn't been too careless and underestimated some people's nostalgia for the previous dynasty, I wouldn't have suffered that knife!

For two years, people have been staring at me for two years, but I don't even know.

Moreover, in the past two years, didn't they think of taking action against me?
I thought about it, I actually deserved that knife!

If I let Jin Yiwei accompany me at that time, I didn't go to harvest rice on a whim, and I would never let others take advantage of it!

I am a person who has been on the battlefield, I am not afraid of this kind of thing!

However, what if the opponent's target is Biao'er? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's words have exhausted his embarrassment.

If Huang He is not here, what face will he use to meet Zhang Yi?
I often hear the words and laugh:

"Your Majesty won't be there, so don't you stop me from seeing you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Chang Yuchun wanted to give him a step down, so he kicked him angrily.

However, Chang Yuchun, who was two years later, was already able to move normally, so he dodged flexibly.

"Good guy, no wonder you dare to go to the battlefield, very flexible..."

The king and his ministers were joking around, and then burst into laughter.

"That means you can still play nonsense with me!"

There was some emotion in Lao Zhu's tone.

"Xu Da is a prudent man, even though it was me who laughed, but since he followed me, he has understood the priority of the monarch and his ministers, and never crossed the line!
On the contrary, you guy, although you often make me angry, you can still vent your anger on me anyway! "

Chang Yuchun chuckled:

"Your Majesty, everyone has different temperaments, but their loyalty to His Majesty remains the same..."

"Is it really unchanged?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little emotional when he heard the words:

“How can the human heart remain unchanged?

Look at Li Shanchang, do you think he has changed?
In the past few months since Liu Ji left, our Prime Minister Li is known for his prestige! "

Chang Yuchun immediately shut up.

Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Li Wenzhong are all old brothers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to work hard in the world.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang named the meritorious officials last year, they naturally formed an interest group because of their meritorious service.

He could see Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction with Li Shanchang.

As for Li Shanchang's change, how could Chang Yuchun not see it?

However, Li Shanchang still supports him at work, even if he secretly helped Zhang Yi in last year's case, the other party did not take it seriously.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they were on the ship of Daming, and after all they wanted to hug each other to keep warm.

"Li Xiang has Li Xiang's difficulties..."

Chang Yuchun tried to explain a few words to Li Shanchang, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen.

"Go back, make good preparations, and then wait for the good news from the Xuanwu Army..."

……

The good news from Zhu Yuanzhang and others came one after another.

In the next two months, Mu Ying led the Xuanwu army to attack all the strongholds in the East China Sea.

The navy of Ming Dynasty is not the strongest, even if the imperial court has built some ships with all their strength, they will still not hover in the East China Sea, especially the big pirates based in Japan are very numerous.

However, the Xuanwu army gnawed down a hard bone in the East China Sea.

It directly destroyed a pirate fleet, and the reputation of the Xuanwu Cannon completely resounded throughout the world.

……

"Our Majesty, how many things do you bypass Zhongshu Sheng?"

Xiangfu, in the study.

Li Shanchang held a memorial from the front line in his hand, his fingers trembling slightly.

Xuanwu Cannon!

When this kind of thing that seemed to change the pattern of naval warfare appeared in the camp of the Ming army, he, the head of the Zhongshu Province, had no idea at all.

"Your Majesty built so many cannons, don't the people in the household know?

The Ministry of Works was redeploying craftsmen, and they didn't even notice at all?
And the Ministry of War..."

Li Shanchang became angrier as he talked. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his confidants.

But he still threw the memorial to the ground.

Hu Weiyong listened quietly, and when he finished speaking, he stood up and picked up the memorial from the ground.

Then, Hu Weiyong carefully blew off the dust on it, and respectfully placed it on Li Shanchang's desk.

"Hu Xiang, His Majesty has done a lot of things bypassing the Ministry of Education in recent years. You don't have to worry about one more thing or one less thing...

He is His Majesty, and the world belongs to him. We people are just managing this house for His Majesty!
Why are you angry with the emperor because of these things? "

Li Shanchang replied with a cold face:
"Are you trying to make His Majesty angry?

When the truth is unknown, His Majesty is dissatisfied with the truth? "

Li Shanchang looked like he hated iron but not steel, and was very unwilling:
"It's said that the truth has the right to fall in love, isn't the truth in power from the very beginning?

How did he become the prime minister, but in the end, the relationship with the emperor became so tense?
Hu Weiyong, you are not the prime minister, you can't feel the pressure of the truth!
The truth is trusted by the emperor, if it wasn't for the benefit of those who follow the truth behind him, how could the truth get to where it is today? "

Hu Weiyong knew that Li Shanchang was shirking his responsibility, but he just listened quietly.

"The king and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world, this is the tacit understanding formed by countless ancestors in the past dynasties.

But our Majesty is born to be wary and fearful of his courtiers, the monarch and his subjects are eccentric, the monarch and his subjects are eccentric...

If the old man is not the prime minister, it is not the turn of the prime minister to worry about these things, but the prime minister is the head of civil servants, how can he not benefit the scholars of the world?
If the truth does not want to seek benefits for you, then the truth will follow His Majesty in everything.

Just like Wang Guangyang, so what if he is His Majesty's mouthpiece? "

Hu Weiyong was a little touched when he heard Li Shanchang's words.

Li Shanchang continued:

"The Ministry of Zhongshu is the center of power in the world, and the affairs of the imperial court should be handled through it!

Your Majesty used Jinyiwei to seize the supervisory authority of Yushitai, so forget it!

But this military and political power, he can still bypass it, as the center Zuo Cheng, don't you think it's very dangerous?
Your Majesty, you are trying to exclude us! "

Li Shanchang patted Hu Weiyong on the shoulder.

Hu Weiyong lowered his head.

The struggle between the monarchy and the power of the prime minister has occurred in all dynasties.

It's just that during the Hongwu Dynasty, the emperor made no secret of his wariness towards his courtiers, making them, the upper-level officials, also feel the danger.

Before the imperial court was established, everyone rebelled with the emperor, and everyone had a common goal, which was to seize the world at that time.

Now a new dynasty has been established.

The rules of operation of the imperial court should have been the same as those of any previous dynasty, with everyone doing their own thing.

The power of the king and the power of the prime minister can be fought but not destroyed.

It's like Zhu Yuanzhang, every time is extreme operation.

Hu Weiyong suddenly understood Li Shanchang's difficulties!

What he wanted was the power of the former prime minister, but Zhu Yuanzhang could not give it.

This is the most unacceptable fact for Li Shanchang as a literati.

"The king wants to evade the prime minister. If I become the prime minister, can I evade the king?"

A wild idea flashed through Hu Weiyong's mind, but this idea was quickly interrupted by Li Shanchang:
"Don't act like you have nothing to do with yourself, this matter will also affect your future!

The old man's body is not as good as before, and I will retire in a year or two at most!

I intend to promote you to the top, but you are not without competitors!

Wang Guangyang has more chances than you..."

Hu Weiyong's expression was startled. The name Wang Guangyang made him feel a sense of crisis instantly.

Can Wang Guangyang, who was dispatched to Zhejiang by the emperor because of his inaction, really come back?
"You should see the development of Zhejiang in the past two years!
Your Majesty's experiment in Zhejiang can be regarded as a success!

Wang Guangyang did nothing in the court, but he did not do nothing in the local area!

In the past three years, he has been good at civil and military affairs, and he, a Pingzhang political official, is not good at it?
Finance, Zhejiang's tax revenue is getting higher year by year!

For military affairs, he was in charge of fighting against the Japanese, and Zhang Yi gave him a lot of embarrassment!
In addition to your majesty's old love for him, is there anything you, Hu Weiyong, can compare to him? "

There was a trace of panic in Hu Weiyong's heart.

An extremely talented minister, becoming one of the two prime ministers of Zhongshu Province is his greatest expectation.

If you can monopolize Zhongshu Province like Li Shanchang, it will be even more rare.

Li Shanchang has made it clear to him more than once that he is his future successor.

But if this matter comes to an end, but someone snatches it away, it will not be beautiful.

"Wang Guangyang has a disadvantage, even if he becomes prime minister, it will be difficult to change...

Hu Weiyong, remember, although the prime minister was appointed by the emperor, but also, thousands of scholars behind you pushed you up!

If you can't benefit the people behind you, you might as well be inappropriate! "

Hu Weiyong gave Li Shanchang a teacher's ceremony like a student.

"Please help me, teacher!"

"Okay, I'm waiting for Huaixi disciples, there must be someone who stays in Zhongshu Province...

The old man will do his best to help you, and you will also give the old man some snacks!
Go to the six departments to check the accounts and see where His Majesty spent the money..."

……

No matter how unhappy Li Shanchang was, Mu Ying eventually returned to the court.

After going out for two months, they brought back 3000 Japanese pirates and pirates, and it was useless to behead them.

When Zhu Yuanzhang got the news, he swept away the depression of being forced into the palace by hundreds of officials, and issued an imperial edict on the spot, ordering the Xuanwu army to kill [-] Japanese pirates in front of the people of Zhejiang.

Blood flowed like rivers in the south, but the prestige of the imperial court was unprecedentedly increased.

Muying, Pingan and Zhang Cundao also returned to court with great prestige.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. I have captured the main pirates in the East China Sea and controlled the routes in the surrounding waters...

During this trip, the Xuanwu army beheaded the Japanese pirates... and captured..."

As the head coach of the Xuanwu Army, Mu Ying seemed to be slapping many people in the face with every word she said in the court.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also asked:
"Li Xiang, how do you think these children are doing?"

Li Shanchang sighed and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, I am convinced, Mu Ying and the officers and men of the Xuanwu Army deserve rewards!"

In this inexplicable dispute, Li Shanchang felt lost.

"Mu Ying was granted the title of Marquis, and Ping An and Zhang Cundao were granted the title of Uncle!"

According to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, Mu Ying was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenhai, and granted imperial scrolls, hereditary.

And Ping An and Zhang Cundao are almost the same, only the volume has no patent, and the title is not hereditary.

But even so, the two were grateful for their meritorious service. ,

Forget about Mu Ying and Ping An, Zhang Cundao is particularly eye-catching among them.

This is a general from the Eastern Zhejiang faction, but he took the title...

For some people, the emperor's unintentional move was not meant to deliberately irritate some people.

This turmoil finally ended with Mu Ying and others conferred military merits.

On that day, the emperor hosted a banquet for several people.

After drinking for three rounds, he left Mu Ying in the imperial study.

"Father, in two years' time, I will be able to train more navy troops. When the time comes, if my father wants to drink from Japan, he can do it with just a few clicks..."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said, "It's not urgent!
To win over Japan, Ming Dynasty’s current national strength is not enough!

I am going to set up another navy, and I will cooperate with you when the time comes!
But this is not the most critical thing, the most urgent task now is to cash in the things you brought back!

It's just a matter of expediency for me to confer the title of Marquis with military merits. I don't want to wrong the soldiers who follow you to attack potential.
But I will never forget, in my heart, what is the real reason for you to become a Marquis? "

Mu Ying was silent, knowing it.

Only they understand what America brings back and what can be changed.

"Muying, you go to Longhu Mountain next year!"
