"What should I do?" Li Cunyi was shocked when he heard this. He was already timid and always focused on Li Shanchang. He finally waited for the Li family to be glorious, but it aroused the emperor's suspicion, which made him not surprised.

Li Shanchang smiled indifferently and said, "What are you panic?"

"Brother——?" Li Cunyi glanced at Li Shanchang and whispered.

Li Shanchang snorted coldly and said, "Your brother, I, from the 14th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, joined Your Majesty as the secretary. I advise Your Majesty to follow the example of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, who was open-minded and generous, knew people well, and did not kill people. He wanted to become an emperor, why did Your Majesty trust me? He asked me to be my brother as a counselor, participate in Jihua, and preside over the salary, and receive much trust. He assisted all the generals to protect his brother, and hired people according to his talents, so that they could each get their place. Soon, Your Majesty was appointed as the Grand Marshal of Taiping Xingguoyi, thinking that his brother was the capital of the Marshal's Mansion, and he followed Jiqing. Your Majesty was appointed as the Minister of the Jiangnan Zhengshu, and he used him as the senator. He used his military advance and retreat, and the reward and punishment regulations were mostly decided by him. Later, the Privy Council was changed to the Grand Governor's Mansion, and he was also the Sima of the Grand Governor's Mansion, and was promoted to the Provincial Chief Minister.

In the 27th year, Your Majesty established himself as the King of Wu, thinking that his brother was the Right Prime Minister. He transferred troops and paid for him, restored money, paid for Huai salt, established tea laws, opened iron smelting, set fish taxes, and the country's use was more abundant, but the people were not trapped. In the first year of Wu, he was named Duke Xuan of the State. Wu changed his official system and promoted the left, so he changed his brother from the Right Prime Minister to the State, and ranked first among all officials. All these civil and military officials were not aware of all these, and who dared to erase my merits. Now Your Majesty unified the world and awarded the reward of brother as the founding assistant minister, and was specially promoted to the Guanglu Dafu, Zuozhuguo, Taishi, and Zuo Prime Minister; he was granted the title of Duke Han, with a salary of 4,000 stones per year, and his descendants inherited the descendants;

Tiejuan, avoid two deaths, and one death. There are six people who have been granted the title of the Duke, and they are the first brother. In the poem of the feudal lyrics, they compare their brothers with Xiao He. This merit and this trust naturally aroused the jealousy of the ministers and the ups and downs of the officialdom, but they have to replace me. Hehe, I am afraid that it was earlier. The emperor is afraid of forming cliques. In addition to me, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Yang Xian, and Wang Guangyang, who are not all of them are neighbors who have formed cliques and wanted to take the opportunity to replace me, but so what? I only used one Li Bin and drove Liu Bowen out of my hometown. Although I have returned to the court, what is there? I am just a sincere prince, and that one can compare to my brother~!"

What Li Cunyi is most worried about on weekdays are people like Liu Bowen and Yang Xian. Although these people have much smaller official positions than his Li family, they are not afraid of his Li family. They spread rumors and cause trouble everywhere, and they wish they could immediately destroy the Li family into a place that would never be restored?"

Seeing that his younger brother's expression had eased a lot, Li Shanchang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, it's still too early to replace my Li family?"

"Well, my brother is right. Today, even though your Majesty is a great master, he cannot do everything himself. The only people who rely on it are Huaixi soldiers, Liu Bowen from East Zhejiang and the old ministers who followed him all the way. Originally, our Li family still had some concerns. After all, the Zhejiang East Group is not weak, and there are powerful characters such as Liu Bowen and Yang Xian. Once a conflict occurs, the elder brother may not suffer any losses, but he will not gain much advantage. However, except for me, there is only one Hu Weiyong left to be around me. Others are not following him. This is what Cunyi is most worried about?"

Li Shanchang smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry about this. Although Liu Bowen is powerful, Yang Xian will not accomplish anything big. If I have a good vision, Yang Xian is a little talented, but he is extremely aggressive. Without Liu Bowen, he will be abandoned by His Majesty sooner or later. It is not worth worrying. At present, the first priority is to serve Your Majesty well. Only when my Li family is deeply trusted by His Majesty, even if the civil and military officials in the court are enemies of our Li family, I, Li Shanchang, are not afraid of me!"

"This Tao Kai is the one who is deeply trusted by His Majesty. He has a lot of thoughts about His Majesty. If I expected it, I would definitely have something to say when my Li family is in full bloom. How can our Li family neglect such a person?"

"You are talking about Your Majesty?" Li Cunyi's heart was shocked. Li Shanchang's words did shock him.

Li Shanchang didn't know what he thought of and sighed softly: "Since ancient times, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. He has always been cunning to die, the lackeys are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden. Emperor Gaozu of Han killed Han Xin and Fan Kuai. Today, the emperor is very thoughtful and suspicious. He is Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, not Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and is not a person worthy of his life. Sooner or later, he will attack my Li family. However, as long as His Majesty trusts Lord Tao for a day, my Li family and the Tao family will have a good relationship with each other, and he will definitely know some news from it. In this way, it is not difficult to protect my Jiao family's blessings and prosperity?"

Li Cunyi hesitated and said, "Is this Lord Tao reliable?"

Li Shanchang smiled mysteriously and said, "Reliable? Your Majesty is suspicious by nature. He has not lost his doubts about his nephews and nephews. He has trusted him a lot. He talks the most to this person on weekdays. He has been promoted from a teacher to a second-rank Minister of Rites over the years. This shows that His Majesty's trust in him is even more rare. When he was the Minister of Rites, he still became a teacher. His disciples were spread all over the world. Just yesterday, I heard that he strongly persuaded His Majesty to follow the example of the Tang and Song dynasties and restore the imperial examinations and let scholars all over the world study and become officials. From that moment on, I have arrived. This person has a unique vision, and few people can compare with him, even Liu Bowen is not as good as him!"

Li Cunyi looked suddenly enlightened and nodded, "My brother invited Lord Tao to have some friendship with him and then listen to something from him so that he can deal with the emperor?"

Li Shanchang nodded and said, "That's exactly!"

The Han Dynasty, the founding official, promoted the official civil servants, and specially promoted the Guanglu Dafu, Zuozhuguo, Taishi, and Zuo Prime Minister of the Secretariat. The mansions that participated in the military and national affairs were naturally extraordinary. Walking through the hallways, corridors, and patios were green everywhere. On both sides were low wing buildings, and there were not all the libero windows on both sides. Brick carved door towers, solid stone pillars, and delicate and exquisite carvings, the style of the Li family mansion was extremely obvious.

The hall is bright and bright, and under the thick courtyard column is a rare wooden drum pier (column foundation). The hall is decorated with mahogany furniture from southern Fujian, with lanterns decorated with colors to welcome and see off guests. Calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall. The couplets are particularly eye-catching. The first couplet is "Create the bamboo, sweep across and straight, sweep gold, silver, sweep national currency". The lower couplet" is a corner of Xiaoxuan, cook day and night, cook fish, meat and folk paste. "When thinking carefully, this couplet has a unique meaning.

At this time, in the cabinet of the Li family's residence, Li Shanchang and Tao Kai sat opposite each other and drank.
