Liu Bowen talked softly, then smiled and said, "Isn't this better? I have such an emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and the world cannot be considered dead!"

Li Shanchang sighed sadly and said, "After that being said, it's a pity that our meritorious ministers have become a chess piece in the hands of the emperor. Now the coach has returned to his position. We chariots and horses should have given up! It's a pity!"

Liu Bowen said: "The emperor used Yaoxia as a chessboard and set up a chess game. Who among the civil and military officials in the court is either His Majesty's chess piece, or the prince, the people, is a chess piece on this chessboard. Whoever keeps it or who leaves it, His Majesty knows it. It would be nice to return to my hometown in Qingtian this time!"

Li Shanchang smiled sadly, looking a little lonely, glanced at Liu Bowen beside him and said, "You are right. The emperor is the most clever one. I sent you away from Yingtian and left the leader of the censor. The next series of big moves are probably going to be carried out. This time, Your Majesty is not targeting you, but I am afraid it is targeting me, not right, my power. Brother Bowen has seen this long ago?"

Liu Bowen did guess that behind Zhu Yuanzhang's series of big moves, there was a deeper purpose, but he vaguely guessed this purpose, but he did not dare to be very sure. To Xiao Yun, he was his own person, so he naturally dared to say anything. To Li Shanchang, it seemed that both of them had put aside the grudges of the past few years and returned to the tacit understanding of assisting Zhu Yuanzhang in the past. However, once there was a crack in the gap, if you wanted to repair it, there would be a gap. Even if you had a clever repair, you would not be able to repair it to the same as before. He was familiar with history books, and there were many friends and enemies.

In the past, Zhang Dun was a friend that Su Shi made when he signed the verdict of Fengxiang. He was the ruling of Shangzhou at that time. He was wild, bold and bold, and had lofty ambitions. He was very close to Dongpo's spleen and stomach. The two had a good time to travel and drink together. During the Yuanyou period, Dongpo was aware of the tribute and by chance, he won Zhang's son Zhang Yuan as the first place. In this way, he had a further relationship with the Zhang family.

But no one expected that Zhang Dun would become his nightmare in the second half of Su Shi's life.

After Wang Anshi's reform, Zhang Dun became prime minister and began to deal with Su Shi and demoted him to Lingnan. Lingnan was a wild place at that time, with miasma prevailing and his language was very different. No one had demoted him so far. At this time, Su Shi was already fifty-seven years old. Su Shi was in Huizhou and once wrote a poem "To repay the poet's spring sleep, the Taoist slaps the fifth clock." This poem was passed to the capital. When Zhang Dun saw that Su Shi lived a comfortable life, he was very unhappy and demoted Su Shi to Hainan. It shows how this former ally had a knife behind his back! "I thought of this glance at Li Shanchang and did not rush to answer the conversation. Who knows if he is the next Zhang Dun? Or is it that Brother Xiao is right: "The one who has a knife behind his back is often your friend!"

Li Shanchang didn't care either. He walked a few steps before sticking to his long beards. In front of him was the morning class venue of Jinshan Temple. It was large in scale and covered by towering ancient trees. All kinds of flowers and plants were planted carefully, so that the monks could sing and scent of flowers and fragrance, and they were full of vitality.

The Jinshan Temple was large in scale. At its heyday, there were more than 3,000 permanent monks, and tens of thousands of monks who practiced Zen. There were many eminent monks from all generations, with dragons and elephants gathered, and the sect was rising from afar, and the wisdom lamp was always bright. For example, Lingtan, Fahai, Foyin, Keqin, Yingshen, Biefeng, Ruoan, Hidden Confucian, Dading, and Miaoliang. It has an outstanding position in the Buddhist Zen temple and is a famous ancient temple in China.

However, Li Shanchang did not enter the temple, but walked around the temple and came to a hill. Standing here, he could see the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River. Tens of thousands of farmers were busy loading soil to fill a gap in the dam. The farmers came and went, piled up the soil on their shoulders in the gap. More than one person had accumulated. The canal roared a few times, but did not burst out the dam again. Tens of thousands of farmers made cheering sounds, looking joyful and satisfied!

Li Shanchang's mouth touched the corners of his mouth slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty used a commoner to seize the world. He is a talented and wise man. I admire him. He ascended the throne as emperor. According to the Yuan system, he set up all officials, and took me as prime minister, and ranked first among all officials. I asked myself that all the civil and military officials in the court, except for you, Liu Bowen, the position of prime minister is the most suitable?"

Liu Bowen said: "As a wise man, Bowen is strong and hates evil, and is not the most suitable candidate for the general. On the contrary, he is skilled in rhetoric, learns stories clearly, handles government affairs, makes decisions like flowing, and obeys the generals and officials, and keeps the residents safe; he is transferred to the troops and transfers money, restores the production of money, debating Huai salt, establishes tea laws, opens iron smelting, sets fish tax, and the country's use is more abundant, but the people are not trapped, and all the soldiers are convinced. You are the most suitable candidate!" This time, Liu Bowen said it from the bottom of his heart, so he said it sincerely.

Li Shanchang's eyes showed a hint of pride, he laughed, and said, "I will have no regrets even if I die if I can hear such an evaluation from your Liu Bowen!"

"Berwin just said a few truths, nothing?"

Li Shanchang was familiar with Liu Bowen's temperament. He knew that his words were not against his will, and he no longer entangled. He just pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know that I entered the palace last night!"

Liu Bowen raised his eyebrows but did not answer. He just glanced at Li Shanchang, not knowing what he meant.

Li Shanchang said to himself: "The emperor thinks I am old and let me retire. I am so old that I can't do it for a few days. It's not a big deal. It's just that His Majesty has bypassed the Secretariat of the Secretariat in the past few decades and directly reviewed the six memorials, which made me feel uneasy?"

"Oh—?" Liu Bowen said quietly.

Li Shanchang said: "The emperor obeyed your and my suggestions, set up officials, and set up the Secretariat in accordance with the Yuan system. The emperor was very dissatisfied, but later he was forced to set up the Secretariat in his heart. Moreover, the world was not determined, so he had to set up the Secretariat in his heart. Even so, he was very unhappy! To this day, the world is very stable, and the prime minister and the national rituals lead all officials to assist the emperor in governing the national affairs. He has too great power. The emperor was dissatisfied, but he never did anything and did it. Therefore, he did not give up for many years. This time, the ministers were awarded great rewards, and I was the leader of the Six Dukes. Do you really think of Your Majesty just to commend my achievements?"

Liu Bowen raised his eyes, glanced at Li Shanchang's face, and said, "Isn't that not?"
