"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I am a humble minister..."

"You can't even handle this?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Hu Guoyong quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Wei Chen, let's do it now!"

"Go down!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Hu Guoyong left Fengtian Hall in a distraught manner. When the wind blew him, he slapped his thigh in regret.

He turned his head and glanced at Fengtian Palace, and understood in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to beat him, and also brought Yang Xian up by the way, with the purpose of restraining him.

The Huaixi branch has always suppressed the Zhejiang branch, but now the Zhejiang branch is becoming more and more powerful.

Wu Lang is just a victim of this power struggle.

The most important thing is that Wu Lang did commit a crime and the handle fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

But his face and power were not enough to change Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists.

This time he lost completely and took advantage of Xian Yang.

He gritted his teeth and decided to go find Li Shanren. He didn't believe that Li Shanren could become a leader in Zhejiang Province.

Zhongshu Zuo Cheng, to put it bluntly, is the prime minister's deputy.

Now that there is no prime minister, Zhongshu Zuocheng is truly the number one person in Zhongshu Province!

Isn’t it Xian Yang?

He has defeated two prime ministers one after another, so why can't he defeat Mr. Yang?

The enemy of his enemy is his friend, and he has to cooperate with Li Shanren.

Thinking of this, Hu Guoyong understood the mistake he had just made, which was too obvious and too impatient.

He could completely comply with the emperor's wishes first, and then find a way to keep Wu Lang.

For example, first reveal some information to Wu Zhen, win Wu Zhen over first, and then use Wu Zhen's help to win over as many people as possible.

This not only opened up the situation, but also successfully kept his own face without letting Yang come up first.

He slapped himself hard to make himself remember, and then walked away.

Soon, Yang Xian received the imperial edict of appointment.

He was overjoyed. Even though His Majesty had revealed earlier that he would be promoted, he was ready.

But he still didn't see the imperial edict, and he felt unsure.

Seeing Jiang Huan being promoted, he hadn't moved yet and felt very anxious.

Now, all the anxiety is gone.

Jiang Huan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Congratulations to Yang Zuocheng for his promotion. One day, he will definitely be granted the title of Duke and Prime Minister, and he will be able to govern the country and the family!"

The people in the Guards Department are all human beings, and they can't stop flattering me at this moment.

Yang Xian was extremely happy, but he said: "His Majesty values ​​them all. As long as everyone does their job well, there will be opportunities in the future!"

"I accept Yang Zuocheng's auspicious words!" Jiang Huan said.

"Everyone, get up!" Yang stood up first, took Jiang Huan's hand, and looked at everyone, "I will go to the palace to thank you. From now on, all matters in the Guard Department will be led by Jiang Huan first!"

Everyone had known for a long time that Jiang Huan was the next person in charge of the Archguard Bureau. Although they were envious, they did not dare to say anything and just agreed with Yang Xian.

"Thank you Yang Zuocheng for the promotion!" Jiang Huan was extremely excited and finally came up. However, he was from Yang Xian's lineage, which meant that he was from the east Zhejiang lineage.

This is not what he wants, what he wants is to have both sides!

But he couldn't express this idea at all.

Yang Xian patted his hand and said, "I'll leave first, and I'll leave the Arch Guard Department to you!"

"Farewell to Yang Zuocheng!"

...

On the other side, Endeavor Hall.

Li Shanren completed a day of teaching and came down from the academy.

He quite likes this kind of simple and fulfilling life. He may no longer be able to express his ambitions, but his children are the future. He can impart his thoughts to them and let them fulfill his dreams on his behalf.

However, the teaching materials at Endeavor Hall were different from those in other places, and he spent a lot of time studying them before he could understand them.

Just as he was thinking about how to improve efficiency, a person blocked his way.

He took a closer look and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "Is something wrong?"

The visitor smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well!"

"Thanks to you, I'm doing very well!" Li Shanren said.

Hu Guoyong smiled and said: "That's good, how about we find a place to have tea?"

"No, I still have something to do, so I won't have tea with you!" Li Shanren doesn't want to have too much entanglement with Hu Guoyong now. He just wants to do his current things well.

"Senior Brother Bai, King Wu went to Fengyang, imprisoned Wu Lang, captured Xue Yang, and took over Fengyang's city defense. You taught me this, right?

Are you like this?" Seeing that Li Shanren was about to leave, Hu Guoyong also got straight to the point, "You should understand how deep the water in Fengyang is. If you do this, will you be able to calm that person's anger after the incident comes out?

Don’t forget, you are one of the chief officials overseeing the construction of Zhongdu!

Do you really think you can get away?"

Li Shanren stopped and looked at Hu Guoyong in surprise, "What did you say?"

Seeing the surprise on his face, Hu Guoyong sneered repeatedly, "Senior Brother Bai's acting skills are getting better and better, is it possible that you still want to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?

Now your Majesty is going to attack Wu Lang, Wu Zhen has been transferred back to the capital, and most importantly, your Majesty has promoted Yang Xian and made him Zuo Cheng, Zhongshu.

You should understand what that means.

He only needs to take half a step forward and he will be the leader of the officials.

The Huaixi lineage is leaderless and is waiting to be suppressed by the Zhejiangdong lineage.

Now that you have committed crimes and made meritorious deeds, is it possible that you still want to lead the Huaixi lineage?"

Li Shanren narrowed his eyes, shocked in his heart, but said on his face: "That has nothing to do with me. I am just a housekeeper now. I have no influence on Huaixi nor eastern Zhejiang."

"Stop pretending, do you really think I'm stupid?" Hu Guoyong said coldly: "I am willing to put aside my past grudges and come to you, and you still pretend to be stupid with me?

Who is Mr. Yang, the leader of the Gongwei Division? With a knife in His Majesty’s hand, he will kill whoever he is told to kill.

Especially when it comes to killing people from the Huaixi lineage, they will never be lenient.

You set up obstacles for me and wanted to make me laugh, but I tolerated it.

Now that the Huaixi lineage is in trouble, are you going to abandon everyone for the sake of your own hatred?"

Li Shanren smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. As I said, I am just an idler now. I can't take care of it, and I don't want to take care of it!"

If the sky falls, there will naturally be someone taller to hold it up, so it won't fall on my head."

After saying that, he walked away without even looking at Hu Guoyong.

To be honest, he was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhu Jun went to Fengyang and really calmed the scene.

But this incident was not instigated by him.

He suspected that there was someone else behind Zhu Jun!

As for Yang going up first, he was not surprised.

He came down and Hu Guoyong came to power.

Liu Ji came down, and Yang went up first.

This is also a balance.

No one can play balance better than that one.

As soon as Wu Lang and Xue Yang died, they both had an explanation!
Chapter completed!
