Chapter 313: How to save the people from danger, but help the people with their virtues? !
“I rose from the grass, carrying a three-foot sword, and led thousands of people to fight in the cracks of the heroes. At this time, Li Shanchang came to visit the army, and we all worked together to cross the river and settle in Nanjing. "
"In one or two years, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were trained, and they marched eastward and westward. They were good at staying in the country, transporting grain stores, and supplying equipment, and there was never a shortage."
"And managed the rear area. , harmonize the army and the people, and bring peace to everyone. This is God’s contribution to this person. I only know it, and others may not know it all.” Everyone praises him. Compared with his good deeds, Xiao He may not be the best. ”
"Master Li, please accept the order."
Li Mansion.
Li Shanchang was not expecting the sudden edict.
After listening to the content of the memorial, Li Shanchang’s expression changed again and again, and he even froze on the spot, and did not come back to his senses for a long time. It was not until Pu Gouer reminded him again and again that Li Shanchang responded. Come to your senses.
He said respectfully: "Your Majesty Li Shanchang has received the decree."
Finished.
He took the edict respectfully.
It’s just that Li Shanchang is feeling uneasy right now.
He took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice: "May I ask Eunuch Pu, what does your majesty mean by this?"
Pu Gouer shook his head and said: "Master Li, this It is not something that only servants know. The servants only know that after Xia Zhibai entered the palace, he had a fierce dispute with His Majesty, and not long after Xia Zhibai left, His Majesty asked His Highness the Crown Prince to write this edict in his own hand."
"And when the servant came, His Highness also asked the servant to bring a message to the Grand Master."
"What are you talking about? Please tell me clearly." Li Shanchang asked quickly with his heart trembling.
Pu Gou'er looked around and said: "Your Highness quoted Lu Ji's evaluation of Xiao He: 'The majestic Duke Xiao is the reason for the king's deeds. If you plan for a wise queen, there will be no competing Wei people.' Waiji Liu Master, it is difficult to conquer the foreign barbarians, and the country is governed by great virtues. After the emperor's name is established, he is called a Zongchen."
Li Shanchang, who was already confused, became even more confused.
He stretched out his hand to hold Pu Gou'er and asked again: "Eunuch Pu, please say a few more words."
Pu Gou'er smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "The Grand Master really thinks too highly of his slaves, Your Majesty and How can a slave understand His Highness's thoughts? And the only thing a slave can tell the master is that the master needs to know his identity."
"Your Majesty asked the slave to tell the master. If you bring it, you won’t stop.”
After that.
Pu Gouer went back to the palace.
Standing outside the door of the mansion, Li Shanchang's eyes were uncertain.
Looking at the edict in his hand, his expression changed again and again. He really didn't want to understand what the edict meant.
"Xiao He." Li Shanchang took the edict and returned to the study, and said in a solemn voice: "Why did your majesty suddenly mention Xiao He? And he also talked about me in such a solemn way. What is the purpose of this? Is it me? Your Majesty knows about your son Li Qi. Do you want to comfort me in advance?”
“No.”
“If your Majesty really wants to take action, there is no need to comfort me at all.”
"Don't even think of me as 'Xiao He'."
"Xiao He Xiao He, Xiao He of Han, what does your majesty mean? And what do those words of your highness mean? The Sixth Division of Waiji, It is difficult to protect the Three Qin Dynasty, but it is difficult to defeat the enemy with great virtue. I am responsible for the rule of the country, and I am a close relative. This is what your Highness expects from me?"
Li Shanchang just felt confused.
This sudden edict made him panic.
I was also at a loss.
He hadn't been this panicked for a long time.
In the past, no matter how many strong winds and waves, he remained unmoving, even as stable as Mount Tai, but now, this thin edict in his hand made Li Shanchang breathless. He didn't know that Xia Zhibai would return. What did he say to his majesty, or what thoughts did his majesty have towards him?
With such a high position, it is impossible for him not to be afraid.
What’s more, the monarch is still Zhu Yuanzhang.
In a moment of thought. Li Shanchang even had plans to enter the palace.
After weighing one or two things, I still gave up and had to carefully put the edict in the study, then sit in the study and continue to think.
A long time.
Li Shanchang felt a wave of irritation in his heart, and said angrily: "What did Xia Zhibai say to His Majesty? So much so that His Majesty suddenly issued an edict, and in such a tone."< br>
"Zhejiang side has not had much contact with me. Only Li Qi ran a salt factory there. But I have warned him repeatedly before. Even if he is found, there will be enough reasons to get away. What's more, It’s impossible to implicate me.”
"But besides the salt policy, what else can it be?"
"It is difficult to rescue the barbarians, but virtue can revive the people?"
"Could it be that the court has some difficulties, and His Majesty wants me to do my best Support?”
Suddenly, another idea came to Li Shanchang’s mind.
The Sixth Division was promoted externally and the Three Qin Dynasties were promoted internally.
Li Shanchang kept trying to figure it out. He felt like he was about to guess it, but even at the last moment, he couldn't figure it out. This made Li Shanchang become more and more irritated. In the end, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up.
I just repaired a copy of the book immediately and had it sent to Zhejiang on a starry night trip.
He wanted to know as soon as possible what Xia Zhibai had done in Zhejiang and what he had secretly found out.
He felt uneasy.
No one cared about Li Shanchang’s worries.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, and Zhu Biao didn't care either.
It's even normal for Li Shanchang to be worried, because Li Shanchang didn't know what happened. He just thought that what he did behind his back was discovered, and he felt uneasy. This might not be Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.
Zhu Biao was also in a complicated mood at the moment.
Because my father gave in.
The edict written by his father to Li Shanchang had one purpose: to ask Li Shanchang to assist him in completing the military reform in the army. As a veteran, Li Shanchang had a high status in the military in the DPRK, and the military reform was destined to Offended many people, Li Shanchang just offends people.
Only this way.
Only in this way can the father's fear of Li Shanchang be dispelled.
This is also the way out that Zhu Yuanzhang left for Li Shanchang.
If Li Shanchang is unwilling, or violates the rules, it means that Li Shanchang has evil intentions, and no one can save him by then.
Now it depends on Li Shanchang’s own choice.
But Zhu Biao actually had no idea about the restructuring of the army.
Although Xia Zhibai said a lot, when it was actually implemented, Zhu Biao felt numb after just thinking about it, because there were too many military attachés and systems involved, and it was necessary to reform the military system. , strict discipline must be enforced, and suitable military attachés must be promoted and appointed.
This series of things are now piled together.
He needs to sort it out.
And this was also the test Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao.
If Zhu Biao can complete it successfully, then all this can continue. If not, he will stop it early and then completely abandon the idea of 'reform'.
He can watch.
But it is impossible to change it regardless of it.
It was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to risk Daming and act impulsively.
Zhu Biao also knows this.
So as soon as he left Wuying Palace, he plunged into the Hanlin Academy and began to read a lot of books.
