Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Yes, court disputes have always been a sign of destruction of the country. If it is not stopped in time, it may lead to chaos!"

"It's just that His Majesty's power is growing, and it's hard to listen to the opinions of the ministers. This time, he has made up his mind to attack the Secretariat. The emperor has always been decisive to kill and fight! Since he has made sure that he will never stop halfway. Kill Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng is the same. Now that he has started, he will definitely not stop!" Li Shanchang said to himself.

"It's probably impossible to stop. Your Majesty always thinks twice when doing things. The Secretariat's power is too great. If it rashly bans it, it will inevitably arouse opposition from the ministers. Therefore, the emperor did not rush to take action, but did it step by step. He first beat and cut off the people of the prime minister, and then banned it step by step, taking the power of the state into the hands of the emperor. After that, the six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor. Hehe, this move must be said to be clever!" Liu Bowen narrowed his eyes, looked into the distance, and said to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang was stunned and looked at Liu Bowen in surprise. Today, in addition to the friendship between the two of them in the past, more emperors' recent series of actions made him feel uneasy. He had long wanted to find someone to talk about it, and discussed it by the way. After thinking about it, Liu Bowen could see some clues in the civil and military affairs of the court. He entered the palace yesterday and returned home. The more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand the emperor's thoughts. He heard that Liu Bowen left Yingtian today, so he hurried over and found a secluded place to talk.

"Oh... accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. Your Majesty's move is indeed brilliant, so smart!" Li Shan sighed long, and the depression in his heart seemed to have gone a lot. Since the emperor had made this thought, even if Li Shanchang was unwilling to do so, he knew that his career was over this time. It was not that he wanted to retreat, but that the emperor forced him to retreat.

"Your Majesty's abacus is good, but it may not be useful. Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Prime Minister has set up a prime minister to help the emperor manage the country. Those who are talented and wise, such as Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, have all set up a prime minister. Your Majesty is the master of talent and wise, but how is it with Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, after all, it is slightly inferior. Abolish the Prime Minister, the Emperor monopolizes the power and dominates the world. This is not bad, but the emperor alone takes over the power, which is not only the emperor's talent, but more of the body. The Prime Minister is to assist the emperor in regulating Yin and Yang, and follow the four seasons.

, It is appropriate to nourish all things. Externally, comfort the princes, and be close to the people inside, so that the heads of various departments can fulfill their responsibilities. It is not something that can be done by just talking. Your Majesty comes from the people, his scheming, means, vision, and body. It is naturally beneficial to the country when dealing with all kinds of things every day. But most princes are in the deep palace and do not know the sufferings of the people. If they are independent, wouldn’t it be very unfavorable to the country? "Li Shanchang frowned and looked at Liu Bowen with a worried look. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Liu Bowen quietly. Seeing his calm expression, he seemed not worried.

"The emperor is not sure whether the prime minister is abolished or retained. Now I don't know. After all, the emperor is still alive, everything is possible. The prime minister is the leader of all officials, and both the country and the emperor are more beneficial than disadvantages. This time, it may be just an emperor on a whim. But after some time, when dealing with government affairs, I naturally understand that although the prime minister can monopolize the power, it is also a position for the country and to solve problems for His Majesty. Without the prime minister, everything depends on the emperor. It would be fine to meet a generation of wise emperors. What if a generation of foolish monarchs? However, one thing is

It is extremely certain that when Your Majesty imitates the Han Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang in everything, it is impossible for him to allow a group of people to be self-reliant and be domineering to the country. Therefore, to restrain these ministers, a group of people must be eliminated. Li Shanchang and him are undoubtedly the best targets of attack, so the emperor will never keep them by his side!" Liu Bowen secretly conspired in his heart and said, "The crown prince is the crown prince established by the emperor. The emperor will never tolerate the powerful ministers over the crown prince. All officials may be able to shock them, but

After the New Year, when Your Majesty dies, the country will be handed over to the prince to govern. If we, the meritorious ministers, are kept in the court, form cliques, and have disciples and old officials all over the world, the emperor will inevitably worry about whether the prince can control the old ministers he followed back then. Therefore, he had to start a move and go to the officials who threatened the prince. You and I were called "zifang, Xiao He" by the emperor! "The greatest threat to the prince, how can we let us stay in the court, so we drove me back to our hometown, seized your official position, and you and I lost our position.

Naturally, no one can curry favor with each other, and no party can be formed. When the crown prince ascended the throne, there is no need to worry about the old ministers being superior to the crown prince. If I guess correctly, once you and I go, after the world is settled, the old ministers who followed each other were not much better. The Guan was demoted and exiled, and the remaining court officials could be cleared out in three or five years. By then, the court officials would be completely renewed. When the crown prince ascended the throne and implemented benevolent government, they would naturally be a good emperor supported by all officials and loved by the people!”

Li Shanchang sighed sadly, but didn't say anything.

Liu Bowen and he had been with him for many years and knew that he was keen on power. Although he had expected this time, he was forced to go to the prime minister by the emperor. How could he feel comfortable? He wanted to comfort him for a few words, and then smiled and said, "Actually, this is better. You and I will be cleaned up in the court in advance, and we will come out of His Majesty's suspicion as soon as possible. From now on, enjoy the joy of family is also a kind of comfort!"

Li Shanchang smiled bitterly and said nothing. In this conversation, the things in his heart were not understood. At this moment, it was another village that was clear and bright. Everything suddenly became clear. But while cheerful, in addition to being secretly scheming and tricks of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also a little dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's tent. Since the 14th year of Zhizheng, he has entered Zhu Yuanzhang's tent. It has been twenty years since he participated in the paintings of Jihua, presided over the salary, transferred all the generals, and used people according to his talents, so that they could get their own place, and transferred troops and paid, and restored money.

Debate Huai salt, establish tea laws, open iron smelting, set fish tax, and make the country's use more abundantly, but the people are not trapped. Help them destroy Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding, and the Yuan Dynasty. Behind all these great victories, which one of them has less credit? To this day, he has set official systems, etiquette, supervised the "History of Yuan", compiled the "Ancestral Instructions" and "The Collection of Ming Dynasty". Everything comes from his arm. All of these were what he had dreamed of, but now he insisted on giving up. He was unwilling to accept it, and he was very dissatisfied, but he could do nothing!

The world belongs to the Zhu family, not to his Li family. Li Shanchang is just a chess piece in the emperor's hand. It is natural to use it, and kick it away without it! "He recalled scenes in his mind, and his eyes were clear and sometimes confused with the past in his mind. After a while, he suddenly turned to look at Liu Bowen and sighed softly, saying, "Brother Bowen, do you think I really want to retreat?"
