Chapter 65 Hu Weiyong: I am very curious about how the emperor got Lin Che out of prison? Next, the conversation between father and son continued.
"Boss, do you see..."
"Although Mr. Lin offended everyone in the world, he safeguarded the interests of the people and the army."
"This is a truly righteous person!"
Zhu Yuanzhang gently placed the tea bowl on the imperial desk and said seriously.
Zhu Biao thought about his father's words in his mind, and then he woke up like a dream.
"I see!"
"No wonder Mr. Lin said the household registration system must be abolished."
"The existence of the household registration system will hurt the people and the military the most."
"The people are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, the Ming Dynasty will be stable."
"In the same way, the army is the guarantee of the country and the dynasty. As long as the army does not cause trouble, anyone else who wants to make trouble will not be able to make a difference."
"As for the nobles, officials, and gentry, they are all maggots attached to the imperial power. Once they are separated from the protection of the imperial power, they will be useless, and they will not be able to determine the trend of the dynasty."
"Therefore, the household registration system that harms the interests of the people and the military must be abolished."
After listening to Zhu Biao's excited words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly:
"Yes! Mr. Lin is a true national scholar!"
"He inadvertently took into account some of the details of maintaining the dynasty's rule for us."
"Mr. Lin is willing to die to prove his ambition. He has no desire to survive. The several major decisions he made for us have cut off his own way of survival."
"Perhaps...Mr. Lin calculated that someone would save him, so he played a big game of chess, cutting off his own way of survival and making his death certain."
"Even if the second child begs him so much, he will not hesitate and wants to die."
"No wonder Mr. Lin said with emotion... Loyal ministers never end well. Until now, we suddenly understand his intentions a little bit!"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the door of the hall and looked at the starry night sky outside with firm eyes.
"Mr. Lin wants to die, but we won't let him die. Not only can we not die, we also want him to live well!"
"Such a national scholar, if not used by our Ming Dynasty, is simply a waste of resources."
"I must keep him!"
Zhu Biao was also excited and knelt down and shouted:
"Father Emperor Shengming!"
……
late at night.
Korean government.
The spacious living room is brightly lit.
Hu Weiyong, Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu, was still having long talks with Li Shanchang.
"My lord, I'm really curious as to how your majesty will let Lin Che go?"
Hu Weiyong glanced at Li Shanchang, whose eyes were slightly closed and the old god was there, and said with doubts on his face:
"Seeing that there is only one day left before Qiu Hou Wen Zhan, Your Majesty is so calm and angry!"
"He neither releases him nor supports the plan we proposed to fill the official vacancies. We can't figure out what he wants to do."
"You're not really going to kill that Lin Che, are you?"
Li Shanchang leaned on the Taishi chair, put one hand on the tea cup, and said without opening his eyes:
"You think our emperor is too simple!"
"How many times have I told you not to speculate on his thoughts. We have followed him for decades and have speculated for decades, but we still haven't figured it out."
"You, don't have any thoughts of speculation in front of the emperor, it will not be good for you."
Hu Weiyong opened his mouth, but stopped talking. Li Shanchang saw it and said:
"That's all, let's take a guess."
"Actually, the emperor's idea is very clear. I guess he will ask His Highness the King of Qin to get Lin Che out of the imperial prison."
Hu Weiyong looked shocked after hearing this: "My lord... I am a stupid student and I don't quite understand what you mean."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin brought Lin Che out of prison..."
"Could it be that His Majesty wants His Highness Prince Qin to escape from prison with Lin Che?"
At this time, Li Shanchang slowly opened his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying:
"Yes, you guessed it right!"
"Our emperor is planning to let His Highness King Qin escape from prison with Lin Che..." "So even if Queen Qiu is about to be executed, the emperor is not in a hurry. That's because he has confidence in his heart."
"Our emperor wants to use this matter to see the attitude of the ministers in the DPRK. If anyone can't keep calm and wants to make any mistakes at this time, he is looking for death."
"This is the scary thing about the Emperor. He doesn't say anything on his lips, but he knows better than anyone in his heart."
"Wei Yong, you should stick to our established plan and don't act rashly. When it comes to scheming, we are no match for the emperor."
"Our advantage is that there are many elderly people in Huaixi and we are united. We cannot be like Zhu Liangzu and take the initiative to find discomfort."
"Since the Emperor is so protective of Lin Che, let's follow his wish and let that kid enter the court, but find a way to keep him far away."
"Everything will be easier if you're not under the Emperor's eyes!"
"Say hello to those honorable men, and don't get into trouble with this. It won't bring you good results."
Hu Weiyong agreed and then said:
"People from the Ministry of Punishment reported that Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu and several other marquises still refused to plead guilty in the prison and refused to hand over the purchased fields."
"I heard from someone from the Ministry of Punishment that the Emperor is afraid that this is what he wants..."
Hu Weiyong turned his palm into a knife and scratched his neck.
"Oh!"
Li Shanchang gently placed the tea cup in his hand on the table and said doubtfully: "The emperor is determined to implement the New Deal! Zhu Liangzu and the others are looking for death. They think that their great military achievements and the emperor's gold medal for immunity from death can guarantee their safety for the rest of their lives. They are too naive."
"Our emperor is no longer the King of Wu in the past."
"There's nothing he can't do now!"
"Well, with Zhu Liangzu as a stepping stone, everyone can understand the current situation clearly."
Hu Weiyong was not entangled in this matter, but he had doubts about how the emperor would get Lin Che out of prison.
"Students still don't understand..."
"The prison is like a copper wall and an iron wall. How can His Highness the King of Qin bring people out?!"
"Although His Highness the King of Qin is a prince, if he brought a death row prisoner out in a grand manner, I don't think those in the prison would agree easily!"
"You must know that letting a prisoner on death row escape is a heinous crime."
Hu Weiyong took a long breath and continued:
"We don't believe that anyone in the imperial prison dares to help King Qin do such a treasonous thing."
"...The King of Qin is left alone. Even if he is brave and invincible, after all, he can't beat four hands with two fists..."
"It is absolutely impossible to fight your way out of the heavily guarded imperial prison."
"Not to mention bringing along a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken!"
"Also, if this matter gets spread out, how will the emperor end it? Do you still want the royal family's face?"
"Why are you doing this for an...emperor?"
Hu Weiyong finished speaking in one breath, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Li Shanchang calmly picked up the bowl and gently scraped away the floating leaves:
"Wei Yong! This is not the first day that you and I have met His Majesty. Is he the kind of person who plays his cards according to the routine?"
"Do you think His Majesty will allow His Highness the King of Qin to cause trouble in prison?"
"That's why you think too much!"
Hear this.
Hu Weiyong gradually calmed down, thought for a moment, and suddenly felt like waking up from a dream. He quickly bowed and said: “Students’ ideas are too superficial!”
"Thank you, Lord, for the tip!"
"It's okay!"
Li Shanchang waved his hand gently and said calmly: "It's not your fault. I thought so after hearing that there were job changes in the prison!"
"Don't mention it, this game of chess played by the emperor himself is really wonderful!"
"I heard that the guards at the gate of the prison have been replaced by inspectors!"
"This is planning ahead and preparing early!"
"I have to admire that our emperor is far-sighted and worthy of being a manipulative monarch."
After hearing this.
Hu Weiyong's eyes flashed with disbelief.
Even the prime minister, the leader of officials, didn’t even know about the change of guards in the prison! However, Li Shanchang had been idle at home for many years and stayed away from the court. He even knew clearly about the replacement of people in prison! It’s hard not to think about it and be horrified! (End of this chapter)
