Chapter 1724 : The Emperor Seizes Power

Li Shanchang sat up completely, and his expression became much more serious. He pondered for a moment while reciting his long beard and asked, "What happened to the court for more than ten days after Daddy was not in court?"

Li Qi put his hands on his knees, looked out the door subconsciously, and said, "The big thing has not happened. In addition to being sad about General Chang's death, his father was not here for three days. His Majesty was not here every morning and afternoon, and summoned all ministers to discuss the war in the north, and asked the people's livelihood issues. By the way, His Majesty also asked the memorials of the six ministries under his jurisdiction to deal with them one by one. After hearing that these ten days, His Majesty was reading memorials and handling major national affairs?"

"What did you say? Your Majesty asked the six ministries to submit memorials and intelligence? He also checked and reviewed them personally?" Li Shanchang's expression changed drastically and he fell into deep thought.

Since September of the Wu year, when he pacified Wu, he was appointed Duke Xuan of the State of China in accordance with his merits, and changed his official system to the left, and believed that he was the left prime minister, and he ranked first among all officials. He judged the order and followed the good deeds as he did. However, Zhu Yuanzhang never intervened, let alone reviewing memorials and reading memorials.

This time, he was awarded the title of Duke of Han, and was awarded the title of civil servants as the founding minister, and was awarded the title of civil servants to be honest and honest. He was specially promoted to the Guanglu Dafu, Zuozhuguo, Taishi, and Zuo Prime Minister of the Secretariat. He participated in the military and national affairs. He was 4,000 stones per year. He was not allowed to die for generations. He was given iron vouchers to avoid two deaths and one death. The general Xu Da was very successful, but he was still under him and held a high position. There were many dissatisfied ministers in the court. Tao Kai said what he said when he fasted. A person's heart was extremely difficult to check, and his mind was the master of his body. If something was unreasonable, everything would be abolished. Therefore, he always checked himself and would seek everything. Now when he encountered fasting, he would think about his mind and be cautious about the gods of Yue. Only then did he pretend to be sick. In addition to doing this, he would look at Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.

He had been taking sick leave for more than ten days, and the civil and military officials of the court knew that as the head of all officials, he was in charge of all officials handling state affairs. He had no one in the prime minister's mansion, and it was normal that no one would ask for the first two days, because some things that were not too urgent could be squeezed for one or two days, but it would be not normal for more than ten days. Not to mention that the six ministries were in a hurry, the current emperor would also be worried about state affairs and ask him, but he had to wait for more than ten days and no one came to ask for it. This should not be done.

Not to mention that his current identity is still the leader of all officials, it is not that he has followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south for many years, managing salt, tea laws, money laws, mining and smelting, and fish taxes for the Ming Dynasty. Everything is fine and small, and it is handled one by one. It can be said that in the past ten years, he has been Zhu Yuanzhang's most powerful helper. He is sick. If Zhu Yuanzhang cannot give him some condolences, he would be too sorry for him. Even if the state is busy, there are many civil and military officials in the court, and it is appropriate to send one to the mansion to express his condolences. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not come, and none of the civil and military officials in the court came, as if he really did not exist, which made him feel a little worried.

Now he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered six ministries to submit memorials, watch and review memorials every ten days for more than ten days. All of this was done by the prime minister, the first minister of all officials, but the emperor now did it himself. There is only one reason!

Thinking of this reason, Li Shanchang's body shook slightly, and a slight bead of sweat spilled out of his forehead.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Li Qi hurriedly asked with concern when he saw his father's face look ugly.

Li Shanchang seemed to have not heard it. The emperor personally reviewed the memorials, and it has been like this for more than ten days. Could it be that this is implying that Zhu Yuanzhang could do the work of the prime minister of the dynasty. Without him, Li Shanchang, there are six tribes, and he is the leader of the six tribes!

"Is the Emperor trying to seize power?" Li Shanchang murmured, then shook his head again, thinking: "The Prime Minister has been there since ancient times. Although His Majesty is a great man, he will never dare to take the blame and ban the head of all officials. If this is the case, it would be terrible?"

"Father! Father!" Li Qi saw his father talking to himself and was distracted, and he couldn't help but shout.

"It seems that the emperor is afraid that he no longer trusts me?" Li Shan sighed.

"How is this possible? My father is now in a strong family, and there is no one in the court's civil and military affairs. If you say that your Majesty may not trust him, it is impossible to talk about his father?" Li Qi said confidently.

Li Shanchang was extremely caring for his son. He smiled and said, "How can Qi'er say this?"

Li Qi thought for a while and said, "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, my father submitted the six official systems, discussed the mourning clothes of officials and people and the ceremony of congratulating the Eastern Palace. He supervised the "History of Yuan Dynasty", edited the "Ancestral Instructions" and "The Collection of Rites of the Ming Dynasty", formulated the gifts of court officials and salaries, the names of sacrificial gods in the world, the titles of feudal vassal states and meritorious officials, and kept the vanguard of the country's first capital, the ten marshals, commanders, and the parents and wives of the latter, and banned the sacrifices. It can be said that half of our state affairs in the Ming Dynasty came from the hands of my father, Liu Bowen and Song Lian. If Your Majesty did not trust his father, how could he be so confident to hand it over to his father? This time, Your Majesty, despite the opposition of the ministers, awarded his father as the head of the Six Dukes and the highest minister. If you had not had great trust, how could Your Majesty be like this!"

Li Shanchang was already a little suspicious of Zhu Yuanzhang's disgust with him. Not to mention the relationship between the two over the years, he didn't believe it even after following him along the way, but he couldn't help but make Tao Kai's words confused him.

Seeing that his father did not speak out, Li Qi became a little braver and continued, "Not to mention that his father is loyal to His Majesty, even in the current situation, the Tartars have not been destroyed, and all the civil and military officials in the court, the only ones that Your Majesty wants to rely on are the soldiers of Huaixi. His Majesty is the leader of the soldiers of Huaixi. It is true that Your Majesty relies on whether Your Majesty relies on Huaixi. In the end, it is just the father who relies on him. With such a skill, Your Majesty is not too late to win over him. How can you be suspicious of your father?"

When Li Shanchang thought about it carefully, he felt that what his son said was somewhat reasonable. He was familiar with history, was quick and decisive in dealing with things, and was good at speaking. There was no second choice for civil and military officials in the court, except for Liu Bowen. Unless Zhu Yuanzhang really made up his mind to remove the position of prime minister, he could not think of any reason Zhu Yuanzhang had to hate him."

After thinking about it carefully, his mood improved a lot. In addition to Liu Bowen's Huaixi Group confronting him, there were many close friends in the court. Not to mention others, even Hu Weiyong would be the first to come if there was any disturbance in the court. Now that he hasn't seen this person for more than ten days, it is enough to show that the situation in the court has not changed at all. Well, this may be just a whim of the emperor, not a dissatisfaction with me. If he didn't come today, maybe someone will come tomorrow!
