Chapter 69 Question: Li Shanchang or Liu Bowen, who is more capable? Hearing this, Zhu Xi was greatly puzzled: "Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
"If these people are not jailors, what else can they be?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Xi scratched his head and said to himself:
"It's just that these jailers do look a bit strange. So where are all the jailers we are familiar with?!"
Lin Che looked at the somewhat confused second-generation distinguished noble in front of her and said with a smile:
"Can't you see it yet?"
"These are all newcomers. Judging from their skills, steps, and momentum, they are obviously well-trained."
"They could only come from one place - the military."
"army?"
Zhu Xi exclaimed.
"Yes, only the army can cultivate such well-trained warriors."
"You can't even see this, yet you're still shouting about going to the Northern Expedition all day long!"
"With your sharp eyesight, you'll be nothing more than cannon fodder on the battlefield!"
After listening to Lin Che's analysis, Zhu Ping carefully thought about the scene just now and felt the problem, but still had some doubts: "Where did these people come from?"
"Haven't you seen it yet? They all come from the pro-military captain's house!"
Lin Che said with certainty, just shy of saying Jin Yiwei's name.
It's just that the current Jinyiwei has not yet been established, and even the second generation of nobles does not understand it.
"Check the school?!"
"But...how is this possible?"
"How could your Majesty arrange for the people around him to serve as jailers in the imperial prison?!"
"It's unreasonable!"
Lin Che smiled faintly: "What's unreasonable?"
"The Imperial Guard's Mansion Inspection School, the emperor's cronies who specialize in doing dirty work."
"Quihou Wenqian suddenly transferred these people to the imperial prison as errands, which means that something big is going to happen in the imperial prison. The emperor is preparing in advance!"
"If you want to cause trouble now, why don't you hit the muzzle of the gun?"
"Do you also want to go to Huangquan Road with us?"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Xi didn't feel anything, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping next door, was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Lin Che's vision was so sharp. Not only did she see that the jailer she arranged was a soldier, but she also directly pointed out that he was an inspector of the pro-military Duwei Mansion.
In contrast.
Zhu Ping's behavior at the gate of Zhao Prison just now was such that he didn't even notice that he had replaced the jailer.
"This bastard is so disappointing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang imagined Zhu Xi's recklessness and shook his head.
the other side.
After Lin Che's analysis, Zhu Xi felt panicked in his heart.
"If it is true, as Mr. Lin said, that these jailers were replaced by the emperor father as school inspectors, it is not because the emperor father is targeting him specifically!"
The more Zhu Xi thought about it, the more likely it was that his father's move was too cruel.
This does not leave any way for Mr. Lin to survive!
Seeing the confused look on Zhu Xi's face in front of her, Lin Che walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder:
"You don't care who is appointed to the prison, it has nothing to do with us."
"Your mission is to be imprisoned and reflect. When your old man's mood improves, he will naturally let you go back and treat you as your noble young master."
"As for me, after today, it's time to hit the road. Let me teach you a few more things before I leave, so that the care you have given me during this period will be in vain."
"Tell me, what do you want to hear?"
Hearing this, Zhu Xi scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he leaned his head over: "How about...Mr. Lin tell me how to be an official?"
Lin Che pushed back the extended head and gave the other party an annoyed look: "Before, I told you how to be an official, but you found it boring. You said you hated the intrigues in the court."
"What, I've got a cramp, now I want to hear it again!"
"Problem!"
Zhu Xiang's lips trembled, but he still couldn't the elder brother didn't want to hear it, he wouldn't be interested in hearing it!
I heard that in this officialdom, people are exhausted all the time, calculating this and that.
Nothing beats the joy of holding a knife! "Actually, as the second generation of nobles, you will enter the officialdom sooner or later. It will be of great benefit to you to learn how to be an official."
"Although I woke up a little late, I finally woke up."
"Then let me tell you about the way to be an official."
Lin Che grabbed the teapot in front of her, poured herself a cup of tea, and said straight to the point:
"Before I start, let me ask you a question."
"Among the current ministers, which one do you think is more capable, Li Shanchang or Liu Bowen?"
Upon hearing this question, Zhu Xi made a disdainful sound, and then replied:
"If you ask me, neither of them is good!"
"One is the leader of the Huaixi Group, and the other is the leader of the East Zhejiang Party."
"One is unemployed at home but still smart, and the other pretends to be sick all day long and protects himself wisely."
"Both of them were heroes in establishing the Ming Dynasty, but now they live like two idlers."
Zhu Yuanzhang next door couldn't help but let out a sigh after hearing Zhu Ping's comments.
I didn’t expect this bastard’s evaluation to be quite accurate.
After four years in Hongwu, Li Shanchang left his job and stayed at home. However, he is still the real leader of the powerful Huaixi Group.
Even Hu Weiyong, the left prime minister of Zhongshu, would call him "mentor" when he saw him! It can be said that he is good at dancing with long sleeves and exquisite in all directions.
Although Liu Bowen is the leader of Zhedong Group, he has always been cautious.
Especially after the case of Yang Xian, the former backbone of the Zhedong Group, Liu Bowen has been sick at home and rarely goes to court.
A typical wise man who protects himself.
"I'm afraid Mr. Lin is the only one who can enlighten Zhu Xi's elm-headed mind."
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and sighed secretly.
the other side.
Lin Che did not comment on Zhu Xi's opinion and said lightly:
"Zhu Er, whether you like the characters of these two people or not, you can't deny their abilities."
"Later generations compared them to Xiao He and Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, and they were the right-hand men of the current emperor."
"Li Shanchang has outstanding abilities in internal affairs and logistics and has made great contributions."
"Liu Bowen followed the emperor to his left and right, offered advice and suggestions, and won the battle thousands of miles away."
"The two are of different types. One is in charge and the other is in charge of the outside. It is difficult to tell which one is stronger and which one is weaker. However, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from the contributions of these two people."
Having said this, Lin Che took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and continued: "The next question is, why did the two of them have almost the same merit, but when Emperor Hongwu conferred the title of minister, the gap between them became so big?"
"One was canonized as the head of the Six Dukes, while the other was ranked the last of the 36 meritorious officials, and only one was named Uncle Cheng!"
"A person's salary is four thousand dan, while a person's salary is only 240 dan."
"The gap between the two is too big!"
"Do you know the reason?"
This statement came out.
Zhu Ping frowned and started thinking.
Although Liu Bowen joined the group midway and served as an official in the Qianyuan Dynasty, his contribution after joining Emperor Hongwu's camp was not small.
In particular, the eighteen policies on current affairs proposed to Emperor Hongwu simply pointed out the direction for the situation that was not yet clear.
When Chen Youliang led an 80-strong army to attack Yingtian, it was Liu Bowen who verbally engaged the capitulators, strengthening Emperor Hongwu's determination to fight decisively.
Moreover, during the Poyang Lake water battle, Liu Bowen urged Emperor Hongwu to abandon the main ship and take a small boat, which avoided the tragedy of shipwreck and loss of lives.
Despite his unparalleled achievements and his savior, during the enfeoffment, only one sincere uncle worth 240 shi was granted the title.
It is indeed a little shabby, even a little unreasonable.
My father is such a shrewd emperor. He can take these things into consideration. It is impossible for him not to take them into consideration.
But why did the father do this?
Zhu Xi fell into deep contemplation! (End of this chapter)
