Chapter 1594 : The Emperor's Mind
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Fengtian Palace, Liu Bowen hurriedly pulled Yang Xian and said, "Mr. Yang, what is the situation inside? You must tell me well, otherwise I will not be able to talk to you when I see the emperor later? Since ancient times, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. The power of heaven is unpredictable. If you don't understand the situation and hitting the emperor, it's not a joke?"
Yang Xian laughed and said, "Mr. Liu is too worried. Everyone in the palace scolds people, and Master Zhou Dexing doesn't do it, but things are not out of control. The reason why Beizhi is so anxious to ask the master to come is because he is entrusted by all officials. The master is a clever plan, knows astronomy and geography, and makes a lot of contributions to His Majesty. He has long been the one whom we admire the most in the eyes of the officials. Today, he is so anxious to let the master come, just to give everyone a long face with his merits, which is better than the civil and military officials in the court. This is the purpose of Beizhi asking you to come today!
"Mr. Yang's words are a great loss. The power of heaven is unpredictable. Reward is the emperor's will. As a minister, I dare to speculate on myself? Besides, the soldiers of Huaixi have made many military achievements, and it is appropriate for the emperor to give more rewards. You have followed Your Majesty over the years and made many military achievements for Your Majesty. I think the emperor will not treat you badly! Other officials, according to the merits, the emperor will freely decide. What's the use of whether I come or not?"
When Yang Xian heard Liu Bowen's tone, he was afraid that he would regret it. He hurriedly saved him and said, "My lord's words are different. All the civil and military officials in the court. In terms of their talents, who can compare with their lords? In terms of their integrity, I am afraid that Li Shanchang is not as good as his lords. Not to mention that he is famous, he knows astronomy and geography. In the Battle of Longwan, the Battle of Poyang Lake, and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, that battle was not planned by the adults himself. This merit is enough to replace Li Shanchang as the position of prime minister? If he doesn't come, I think even if His Majesty is willing, he will care about Li Shanchang's meager merit, which will not be easy to dismiss his position as prime minister?"
Liu Bowen was quite arrogant in his heart and always thought that he was indeed a prime minister. Yang Xian's words reached his heart. He said slightly, "The Prime Minister is the first rank of the current dynasty, the head of all officials, and the Prime Minister is a rare talent. Over the years, he has consolidated the rear and stabilized the morale of the military. Moreover, in the chaotic military affairs, the rules are natural. Just this point is enough to rank as the Prime Minister? Lord Yang should not say this!"
Yang Xian smiled, glanced left and right, then closed his eyes and looked at Liu Bowen, suddenly lowered his voice, and said, "Mr. Liu, there are only you and me at the moment. Bei Zhi is not afraid to tell you that the emperor has become disgusted with Li Shanchang and will soon dismiss his position as prime minister. Bei Zhi has thought about it. Except for the great master, no one can rank high in this position?"
As soon as these words were said, Liu Bowen was shocked. Li Shanchang was the emperor's confidant. Since Haozhou, he advised Zhu Yuanzhang to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, who was open-minded and generous, knew people well and was not fond of killing people, and became an emperor. Since then, he has served as a counselor, participated in the paintings, presided over the salary, and received much trust. How could he be disliked by the emperor? This is incredible?
However, Liu Bowen was an extraordinary person after all. After thinking about Yang Xian's original identity - the procuratorial officer, in charge of the clerk. Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen often served as envoys, were trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang because of their ability in doing business. In the first year of Hongwu, he was appointed as the chief minister of the Central Secretariat and was able to say something in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Could it be that he got some news? "
The suspicious Liu Bowen looked at Yang Xian, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Yang, don't keep it a secret. You and I are here. Today I will tell you, do you know what news you got from Your Majesty?" After asking this, he, who had been calm, couldn't help but lean forward.
Yang Xian smiled mysteriously: "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed!" After saying that, he glanced at him and whispered: "Sir, I am an old minister who has followed His Majesty for many years. Do you still don't know how His Majesty is?"
"Your Majesty is a wise man, and it is true that you are kind and righteous. But Your Majesty is also a person with great suspicion. Even Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang could kill Han Xin. Why can't Your Majesty withdraw from Li Shanchang now?"
Liu Bowen's heart skipped a beat and said to himself: "Yes, Your Majesty has always regarded himself as imitating Emperor Gaozu of Han. Since Emperor Gaozu of Han can kill Han Xin, who will win the battle and win the attack, why can't he dismiss a Li Shanchang? Li Shanchang is below one person and above ten thousand people. Old relatives are all over the court, and the power is mixed... How can Your Majesty feel at ease-?"
Seeing that Liu Bowen understood, Yang Xian had a smile on his face and nodded without moving.
"A Li Shanchang went to the civil and military officials in the court. Who else has the ability to replace Li Shanchang except the adults?" Yang Xian said again with a playful thought.
Liu Bowen remained silent, but his heart was already pounding. Could it be that the emperor really hated the Prime Minister? In this way, it is not impossible to dismiss his position as prime minister! As soon as he left, is this position of prime minister really mine? "When he thought of this, he was anxious, with great expectations and a little worried, as if he was a yellow-flowered daughter who was about to get married.
Yang Xian knew about Liu Bowen's thoughts a little. Seeing that he was silent, he smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Liu, don't worry. Bei Zhi repeatedly criticized his subordinates and heard some news?"
|"Oh, is that?" Liu Bowen's eyes twitched, and he looked at Yang Xian and responded meaningfully.
Yang Xian smiled and said, "I have repeatedly admitted in front of His Majesty that Li Shanchang is not very talented and is not enough to take on the great responsibility of the prime minister. Your Majesty agrees with him and asks about the candidates for the Bei Li? I recommend you to the emperor. After hearing this, the emperor said that the lord is upright and not upright. Only the civil and military officials in the court do not form cliques or privacy. He is a real talent and has enough ability to handle the government affairs!
Liu Bowen's heart jumped a few times and said to himself: "So the emperor really intends to talk to me?" But he said: "Mr. Yang is joking, joking! Liu is just a scholar, just a scholar?"
