Chapter 34 Li Shanchang supports Hu Weiyong After half an hour.
The red painted door of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened.
A small sedan carried by four people swayed out of the door.
Walking through the streets and alleys, hurrying all the way.
Finally, we stopped in front of the Korean Government Palace with its tall gate tower.
Before the sedan stopped, Hu Weiyong opened the curtain and hurriedly got off the sedan.
Come to the door and knock the knocker lightly.
Soon the door opened, and Hu Weiyong was politely led into the Duke's Mansion.
The work of a cup of tea.
Li Shanchang walked into the living room neatly dressed.
Hu Weiyong quickly stood up and saluted.
Li Shanchang waved his hand and said politely:
"Wei Yong, why did you come to my house in the middle of the night?"
After Li Shanchang sat down, Hu Weiyong whispered: "My lord, there is news from the prison!"
The servant made two cups of tea and brought them over.
Li Shanchang waved his hand and asked the servants to retreat.
He opened the tea cup and gently blew the floating leaves on the surface, then asked calmly: "Is it the news about the crazy birth?!"
Hu Weiyong nodded,
"My lord, your Majesty has been running to the imperial prison every day for the past two days, and has been eavesdropping on the conversation between Kuangsheng and the second prince in the secret room every day."
"According to Mao..."
Seeing Li Shanchang shaking his head towards him, Hu Weiyong quickly stopped.
He took a sip of tea before continuing: "It is said that the interest in this crazy life is growing. Depending on the emperor's wishes, he wants to use this boy in the court."
"This kid is Liu Sanwu's protégé and a vassal of the Zhejiang Party. Once he is re-employed, he may become another Liu Bowen or Yang Xian."
"But there's one thing that's strange!"
"Ok!"
Li Shanchang squinted his eyes and hummed, "How strange?!"
"The second prince planned in prison to help this kid escape, but he refused."
"I don't know if this guy knows what he's doing or if he's just pretending to be aloof."
Seeing Li Shanchang's expressionless face, Hu Weiyong continued:
"In the afternoon, the emperor kidnapped the second prince back to the palace. He was probably afraid that the news would spread and ruin the reputation of the royal family."
Having said this, Li Shanchang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Hu Weiyong with bright eyes.
"You didn't tell anyone else this?"
"My lord, when I got the news, I came to see you as soon as possible without telling anyone!"
Li Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief.
"You, you have been with this emperor for a short time, and you still don't understand his character."
"Once this news is leaked, in order to protect the Second Prince, all those who know about it will die!"
"Even though you are the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Zuo, you still cannot escape the fate of being killed, and it might even get worse!"
"You tell the man in prison to keep your mouth shut. Once the news reaches us, it will be over."
"No one else must know!"
When Li Shanchang said this, Hu Weiyong was suddenly shocked, stood up abruptly, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for the reminder, Duke, Weiyong will keep it in mind!"
"Um--"
Li Shanchang raised his arm lightly, motioned Hu Weiyong to sit down, and said cautiously: "That's good. Remember, don't be smart when you are around this emperor. When it comes to scheming, no one in the court can outsmart him."
"Although he lives in Da Nei, there are so many pairs of eyes outside watching us noble ministers for him!"
"Tell the man in prison to stop running to you if there is nothing particularly important."
"Otherwise, it will be exposed sooner or later!"
Hearing this, Hu Weiyong nodded solemnly.
There was silence in the living room for a while.
Hu Weiyong drank tea silently, somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Wei Yong, what did Kuang Sheng tell the second prince?"
Li Shanchang gently placed the tea cup on the table and asked calmly.
Hu Weiyong quickly replied after hearing this:
"Reporting to the Duke, the prince has memorized those national policies word for word."
Li Shanchang picked up the tea cup but did not drink it, and murmured to himself:
"Is this emperor possessed by a demon? How much can a Gongsheng student who has not yet entered the official service know about national policies?"
"What is the purpose of his daily trip to prison?"
"No matter what the reason is, I don't think we can let this kid go easily!"
"I'm worried that the emperor will support him to deal with us just like he supported Yang Xian back then!"
Hu Weiyong's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, and he said coldly: "My lord, we can't just sit idly by and do nothing." "If this Lin Che is really used by the emperor... If the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles!"
Li Shanchang walked to the window with his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance:
"I still say the same thing, imprisonment is not the right time to take action!"
"Then we just watch from the sidelines and don't care?"
Hu Weiyong was unwilling and murmured; "Once he enters the court, I'm worried that this guy will be even more difficult to deal with than Yang Xian was back then."
Li Shan's expression remained unchanged and he said melancholy:
"What do you care about?"
"This Lin Che is now the Emperor's favorite, do you dare to touch him?"
"People can turn the Ming Dynasty upside down even in prison. This boy is extraordinary!"
Li Shanchang turned around with a gloomy expression:
"At this time, the more we can't mess around!"
"Yang Xian was so prosperous before, even I avoided his edge and gave him seven points."
"But what's the result? We need to use our brains more..."
Speaking of this, Li Shanchang suddenly thought of something, walked quickly to Hu Weiyong, and asked:
"Wei Yong, I remember you said that Yungui, Lingnan and other prefecture-level counties are in urgent need of officials to govern. Is this true?"
After hearing Li Shanchang's reminder, Hu Weiyong's eyes lit up: "Exactly, the Yungui Lingnan Province has asked the imperial court for instructions. There are many vacancies for prefecture and county officials there. Please report to the imperial court to fill the vacancies as soon as possible!"
"My lord, this is a great move!"
"If the emperor really wants to use him, let's arrange him far away from the center."
"Besides, the Yunnan-Guizhou Lingnan area is Zhu Liangzu's territory. If this kid really wants to go there, he will be in trouble!"
"Ha ha…"
Hu Weiyong put his hands on his hands and laughed.
……
Prison.
Lin Che lay on the woolen mat, lighting an oil lamp, and flipping through an old book in boredom.
The day when Qiu Hou Wen Zhan is getting closer and closer.
Lin Che tossed and turned and couldn't sleep tonight.
I don’t know if I am looking forward to this day too much.
Lin Che was helpless.
He dug out a romance novel that Zhu Er found for him.
To be honest, during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, except for those few masterpieces, other novels were a mess.
The classical Chinese text is mixed with vernacular, which is boring and difficult to understand. I really have no interest in reading it.
It's not like in the previous life, when there were hundreds of online novels of various themes available for reading every day.
If you are bored, you can also play Douyin, watch short videos, and play games.
Or brag in WeChat Moments.
Life is as exciting as you want it to be.
At this moment, Lin Che was looking forward to ending this time traveling journey as soon as possible.
I was bored when I heard a sound on the door.
Soon the cell door opened.
The person who came in was not the warden, but Zhu Er, the second generation of nobles.
Lin Che turned over and sat up, and asked curiously.
"Zhu Er, why are you here so late?"
Zhu Xiang bared his teeth and smiled, approaching Lin Che mysteriously: "What do you think I'm looking for you for?!"
"Who knows what you're going to do? You're so nervous!"
"Mr. Lin, my old man has written a letter, saying that he promised to ask the emperor to help you plead for mercy and pardon you!"
"Ah! What's the reason for this! Are you finished yet? Why do you like to worry about other people's affairs so much? I've told you before, don't mind my affairs!"
Lin Che had a look of pain on her face, why is this kid so stubborn!He won't stop until he ruins our good deeds? "Zhu Er, I beg you, please don't bother me anymore, I'm really not worth your saving, just let me go!"
Lin Che said in an almost pleading tone.
"Mr. Lin, please don't lose heart. This time is different from my escape plan."
"Our old man will come forward to help you plead for mercy. There is still a high degree of certainty. The emperor owes our father a great favor."
"Except for my father, my mother and my eldest brother have all agreed to come forward to protect you."
"With them, we will be more confident!"
Zhu Xi didn't understand Lin Che's meaning at all, and became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.
Lin Che looked at Zhu Xi helplessly. He really wanted to crack this elm head open.
Why can't you listen to what people say!
