A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 54 Li Shanchang’s decision and Hu Weiyong’s preparation

Haozhou, Dingyuan.

It has been nine years since Li Shanchang resigned due to illness.

However, although he resigned and stayed at home, his power remained unabated.

In Haozhou, he was ordered to build a palace and manage 14 farmers who moved from the south of the Yangtze River. In the temple, his younger brother Li Cunyi was appointed Taipu Cheng, and his nephews Li Shen and Li You were awarded official positions.

He still has a lot of influence.

Perhaps this is why Yang Wenyu and Li Cunyi came together.

Yang Wenyu is an old friend of Li Shanchang and a die-hard member of Hu Weiyong, not to mention Li Cunyi. This is undoubtedly a trustworthy bridge for both parties. It is appropriate for them to pass on such a confidential matter.

However, when they told them the purpose of coming here, Li Shanchang was still shocked.

"What are you talking about! This kind of thing, this kind of thing...be careful what you say, be careful what you say! Be careful that your nine tribes will be destroyed!" He stood up and yelled loudly.

The two exchanged a look, and this sentence revealed Li Shanchang's true inner thoughts - he did not resist.

Li Cunyi said softly:

"Brother, aren't you clear about His Majesty's attitude towards you? In recent years, your Sacred Heart has gradually lost, and His Majesty has become more and more disgusted with you. Your prestige in the court is too high, and he will never let you have the opportunity to return. From the imperial court.”

"Are you willing? You have been recovering from your illness for five years, but you have been staying in your hometown, doing the same things that magistrates and magistrates do... If you don't give it a try, you may never have a chance to recover!"

Yang Wenyu on the side also said:

"Hundred Houses, Prime Minister Zuo personally promised that after the event is completed, I will make you the king and make the land of Huaixi a vassal state."

Create a feudal state and build a country, split the earth and become the king!
No minister can refuse such a temptation!
"No!" Li Shanchang still refused firmly at first, but then his voice became weaker and weaker: "No, no, it's a major crime to violate the law, but the nine tribes will be punished..." as if he was trying hard to stop himself. .

He fell into silence, while the two continued to persuade.

Finally, Li Shanchang waved his hand feebly.

"I don't know anything about today's events. If destiny belongs to me, I will leave it to God's decision."

The two laughed, this answer was enough.

As long as Li Shanchang remains neutral, people from his faction in the court will wait and see.

They left with satisfaction, leaving only Li Shanchang sitting in the chair.

His eyes flashed with helplessness and a little ambition.

In the past few years, he has felt the loss of grace.

Maybe, can it really be done?

Crack the soil and seal the king!
When he thought of this, his body couldn't help but tremble.

……

A few days later, the Korean prince once again welcomed visitors to his mansion.

"This man claims to be from the capital." The servant reported.

"Capital Master?" Li Shanchang's face showed a look of astonishment. Could it be that Hu Weiyong was dissatisfied with his statement and sent someone here again?

"Let him in."

When Yan Shengjiu entered Li Shanchang's study, he was sitting in the main seat.At this time, he had adjusted his mood and was slowly sipping a cup of fragrant tea.

The ninth serious issue is that since Yan Liuwu was crippled and returned home, the new military commander has been highly skilled in martial arts and flexible, and is deeply trusted by Yan Ling.This time the task of delivering the letter naturally fell on him.

"The villain is very serious. I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Han." He bowed and said in a low voice.

Li Shanchang said "hmm" and gently put down the tea cup. He looked calm on the surface, but there was already a storm in his heart.His surname is Yan, from the capital.

His identity has been revealed.

"Ruixuan sent you here, what do you mean?" Li Shanchang decided to take the lead and revealed the person's identity.

"My Lord, I have ordered me to bring you a letter, saying that this matter is of great importance. Please do not take it lightly. It involves your family and life."

Serious Jiu opened the package on his back and took out an extremely tightly wrapped piece of paper from the interlayer.

It's said to be a letter, but it's actually just a piece of paper with one sentence written on it.

Li Shanchang took the note and felt a little confused, but then he seemed to think of something.

Ruixuan, does he know about Hu Weiyong?
That's right, how could Hu Weiyong not win over him when he was such an important official in the court?

This letter from Ruixuan must be to advise me not to join in the same trap with him.

It's a pity, Ruixuan, I'm different from you... You still have the favor, but I have gradually been abandoned by His Majesty... But I won't give in!

Hu Weiyong's current power is indeed not small.Although His Majesty was once a wise and mighty man, his actions are now increasingly murderous and violent. People in the court are panicking. Hu Weiyong might actually be able to accomplish something...

If it really comes to pass, I will do my best to keep you safe.

Li Shanchang made a decision secretly. He lowered his head and looked at the note.

There was no persuasion and no harsh accusations.

only one sentence
"Your Majesty's sword points at the Prime Minister. Hu Weiyong is not a man who will achieve great things, so don't make a mistake!"

Li Shanchang's pupils suddenly shrank!
He is an extremely wise man and an experienced politician. Of course he would not think that the prime minister was referring to Hu Weiyong.

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness towards the officials who violated his power in the Kongyin case, he instantly realized the true purpose of his majesty.

Such connivance is just to complete the concentration of power... It should be said that he is worthy of the Hongwu Emperor.

High, really high. Even after years and changes in temperament, Zhu Yuanzhang is still the capable and courageous leader.

In this way, Hu Weiyong's every move is actually always under His Majesty's gaze.

For a moment, Li Shanchang felt cold all over his body, the hand holding the note trembled slightly, and there were thousands of thoughts in his mind.Fortunately, I didn't agree explicitly just now, otherwise I would have dug my own grave!
Confused, confused!He cursed himself secretly. He was so smart that he almost stumbled here.

Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up.

"Please tell the Duke of Yue that the good leader should report this matter to His Majesty immediately." He changed the title of Yan Ling to an honorific, even with "serious nine": "Please thank the Duke of Yue for me, There is no way to repay such a great kindness. From now on, the Han family will advance and retreat with the Yan family! This oath is a lesson from heaven!"

The time has come.
-
Yan Ling was making plans, and Hu Weiyong was also making intensive preparations.

He first called up the military records of the world, studied them carefully, and highlighted all those who might resist.

Then he gathered a large number of desperadoes and used them as an important source of soldiers during the uprising. He also collected money and funds frantically.

The next step is to expand your subordinates.

Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, came back from Shaanxi and took a post train without permission; Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, appeased the soldiers and civilians of Suzhou, but indulged in drinking and sex all day long, and later failed to recruit and surrender to Northwest Mongolia. These two fallen marquises were naturally reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang .

Thinking of the terrifying method of sealing Zhu Yuanzhang before, the two of them became even more frightened.

Hu Weiyong appeared at this time, like a savior.

They just worshiped at the feet of Left Prime Minister Hu Weiyong and were sent to other places to recruit troops and train secretly.

Seeing that his party members were getting stronger and stronger, and even the army was involved, and good news came from Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong smiled proudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang, how long can you sit in this position?

　Thank you all for your monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you!
