Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 292 This is to praise and kill Ouyang Lun (please subscribe!!)

At this time, Song Lian, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Ouyang Prince Consort knows how to use people and is good at cultivating talents. Now our Ming Dynasty lacks smart and capable officials. If Ouyang Prince Consort can be allowed to preside over the officials, I will be willing to do so." Relinquish the throne and make way for the next person!"

Leave the official department to Ouyang Lun! ?

Zhu Yuanzhang was muttering in his heart.

With Ouyang Lun's character, if he were in charge of the staff, the entire court would be ruined by him!

Song Lian, you are also old and confused.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that letting Ouyang Lun enter the court would be good for Ming Dynasty, but he was more worried.

"I also understand what you said."

"Ouyang Lun has made great contributions this time. His reward must not be careless. I have to think about it carefully."

"There's no rush to settle this in advance."

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic and asked in a deep voice: "Are Feng Sheng and Lan Yu back?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Duke Song and Marquis Yongchang came back last night. According to your instructions, they are now imprisoned in the mansion. Without your orders, they are not allowed to leave the mansion, and no one is allowed to visit!"

The Minister of Punishment stood up and reported.

"Well, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu were unfavorable in the battle, and their titles were reduced to one level. The duke became a marquis, and the marquis became an earl. They will be fined for one year!"

"Yes!"

"Retreat!"

The officials dispersed.

Li Shanchang returned to the Korean government.

Then they came to a secret room, and in the secret room, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu, who were supposed to be imprisoned in the mansion, appeared here.

"Master Taishi, how is the situation?"

Feng Sheng and Lan Yu asked quickly.

Li Shanchang also told what happened in the court.

"Why! Ouyang Lunxuda and the others can be promoted to nobility and receive rewards, but Song Guogong and I will be punished!!" Lan Yu said extremely dissatisfied.

Feng Sheng was much calmer, "We didn't go to support Beiping City and suffered another defeat. We only had a reduced title and a fine of salary, which is not bad."

"It's just Taishi, I understand something very well. Why would you support Ouyang Lun to become an official in the capital? This Ouyang Lun is difficult enough to deal with in Beizhili. If he comes to the capital, he will have more control. Wouldn’t it be more difficult to deal with a large force?”

Lan Yu also nodded and said anxiously: "That's right! With Ouyang Lun's current achievements, he was transferred to the capital, and he was at least one of the six ministers. He had the power of one department, and with the assistance of Guo Zi, Wu Jingzhi and others, he could At that time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to suppress him anymore!”

Li Shanchang smiled slightly and said, "Actually, His Majesty does not want to transfer Ouyang Lun to Beijing."

"Since His Majesty doesn't want to do it, why do you still support him? This not only helps Ouyang Lun, but also offends His Majesty. Why bother!"

Feng Sheng became more and more puzzled.

"Haha! You don't understand this!"

Li Shanchang smiled and said, "The more His Majesty doesn't want it, the more we support it. Do you think His Majesty is more afraid of us or Ouyang Lun?"

"Of course it's Ouyang Lun!" Feng Sheng suddenly realized.

"Master Taishi, do you want to kill Ouyang Lun?" Lan Yu also reacted.

"That's right!" Li Shanchang nodded, "In the battle in Northern Xinjiang, we failed to make any achievements, but Ouyang Lun made great achievements. Everyone's eyes are focused on Ouyang Lun. In this way, His Majesty's attention is divided between us There’s less on you.”

"His Majesty will just deal with you later, just as I guessed."

"I guess His Majesty is still thinking about how to arrange Ouyang Lun at this moment!"

"You have to keep a low profile during this period. When this rumor passes, we can plan carefully."

"Perhaps there is no need for us to take action this time, and His Majesty will deal with Ouyang Lun."

Feng Sheng frowned and asked worriedly: "Master Taishi, if His Majesty really lets Ouyang Lun come to the capital to take up his post in the end, wouldn't we be even more passive by then?"

Li Shanchang shook his head, "Feng Sheng, you are right to worry, but in my opinion, even if Ouyang Lun really comes to the capital, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us. In the past, Ouyang Lun was in Beizhili, and Emperor Tiangao Far, we don’t know him well enough. Even if we wanted to move him and sent people to Beizhili, the final result was not good. But if Ouyang Lun is in the capital and our Huaixi Party has been operating and planning in the capital for so many years, Ouyang Lun is in our By doing things right under our noses, we will be more confident if we want to deal with him!"

"If Ouyang Lun forces what he did in Beizhili to the capital, there will be no need for us to take action. Your Majesty, the cultural relics officials and the people of the capital will not let him go! How good will the final outcome be?"

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu both had smiles on their faces.

"Master Taishi has thought carefully. Whether Ouyang Lun comes to the capital this time or not, it will be beneficial to us!"

"I really hope that Ouyang Lun can come to the capital, so that I can meet this guy in person. Last time, I lost the opportunity to conquer Yunnan. This time, I was defeated by Wang Baobao. I, Lan Yu, are incompatible with him!" Lan! Jade growled.

"Lanyu, I have to remind you that this is a special period. Don't do impulsive things. Now that we have been dormant for a while, we have plenty of opportunities to deal with Ouyang Lun and the Prince Consort. Whoever is anxious will lose! Do you understand? Li Shanchang said sternly.

"I understand, Master Taishi." Lan Yu nodded.

"Okay, after all, you two are confined in the house by His Majesty. You should go back quickly. I won't let you eat at my place." Li Shanchang waved his hand.

Feng Sheng and Lan Yu looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Farewell."

Zhu Yuanzhang went down to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

He dealt with the memorial for a while, but soon threw it aside and started walking with a frown on his face.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong immediately brought a cup of tea to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, this is the newly offered tea here. You can taste it first."

"Well, this tea is indeed good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.

"I saw that Your Majesty was very distressed just now. Did something happen to you?" Wang Zhong asked cautiously.

If other eunuchs asked, Zhu Yuanzhang would inevitably scold him, but Wang Zhong had followed him for many years and had always been a personal eunuch who was loyal and knowledgeable. Sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang would discuss state affairs with him.

So when faced with Wang Zhong's inquiry, Zhu Yuanzhang directly expressed his troubles.

"This morning, the ministers suggested that I transfer Ouyang Lun to the capital."

"Although in terms of political performance, ability, and rank, Ouyang Lun is now qualified to enter the capital and be ranked in the Tai Chi Palace."

"But you also know that Ouyang Lun still doesn't know that I am the emperor. Once Ouyang Lun is allowed to act in court now, what happened before will definitely be exposed, and I will lose my face!"

"Wang Zhong, what do you think I should do?"

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wang Zhong felt annoyed in his heart. Why did he ask so much?

If he had known it was about Ouyang Lun, he would never have asked.

Now it’s okay, I’ve included myself in it.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am just a chamberlain and should not interfere in matters involving court officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if you have anything to say, I, Su, forgive you and tell me quickly." "Since Your Majesty wants me to say it, I will say it." Wang Zhong took a deep breath, and then said: " When your majesty encounters such a thing, you can go to the queen to discuss it. The queen is far-sighted and will definitely find the best way to deal with it for your majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless. He thought Wang Zhong was going to analyze it carefully for him.

"This is the advice you gave me?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, my ability is limited and I really cannot give you good advice. Please punish me!" Wang Zhong said quickly: "But I still think that the Queen can help your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and slowly raised his head, "You are right, the queen does have this ability. For the sake of reminding me, I will spare you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhong said quickly.

"Why are you still here? Aren't you going to see the queen? Hurry up and get ready!"

"Yes Yes!"

Wang Zhong hurriedly walked towards the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, trotting and shouting: "Bei Yuchu, Your Majesty is going to Kunning Palace!"

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Kunning Palace on the imperial banquet.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang walked into Kunning Palace, he did not find Queen Ma.

"Where's the queen?"

"Back to the emperor, the queen is in the bedroom!"

"It's almost noon, hasn't the queen gotten up yet? Maybe she's not feeling well and can't get up from bed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this and hurried towards the bedroom.

"Sister! Sister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the door nervously, only to find that Queen Ma was sitting in front of the table, playing mahjong with her two daughters and Zhu Biao! !

"Father!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming in, Zhu Biao and his two daughters wanted to stand up and salute, but they were stopped by Queen Ma.

"Sit down, sit down, and quickly draw the cards! This is not a court. He is your father, not the emperor."

After saying that, Empress Ma turned around and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile: "Chongba, that kid Ouyang said that playing mahjong is good for relaxing and it is also helpful for my condition. Aren't you angry?"

The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, and he must be angry, but when he thought that Queen Ma was not in good health and was not prone to seizures, he could only nod and smile, "It's okay, you continue to play, and I'll take a look too."

This was not the first time Zhu Yuanzhang had seen Mahjong. When he went to Beizhili before, he had seen it at the Lucky Gambling House, but at that time he didn't pay much attention to these gambling items.

Unexpectedly, this thing actually appeared in his harem today.

Queen Ma, Zhu Biao and the two princesses continued to play mahjong.

Zhu Yuanzhang came and sat down behind Queen Ma.

"Ten thousand!"

Queen Ma threw out a card and asked casually: "Chongba, what's wrong with you coming to me? Is it possible that you've encountered some difficulty again?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Biao, who was sitting opposite, took the initiative and said: "Mother, I have just told you everything that happened to my father."

Empress Ma suddenly realized, turned her head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked: "Chongba, are you thinking about whether to transfer that child Ouyang to the capital?"

Zhu Yuanzhang first glared at Zhu Biao, "You bastard, why do you tell your mother everything?"

Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Father, you don't know that when you play mahjong, you always want to say something, so I told my mother everything about today's morning court. She is not an outsider. If she knows, she can still give you some advice, right?"

"Chongba, don't blame Biao'er. Even if Biao'er doesn't say anything about the things in the court, others will." Queen Ma said while touching the cards.

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to dwell on this matter, "Sister, I am indeed troubled by the matter of this boy Ouyang Lun!"

"All the officials in the court only saw Ouyang Lun's achievements. How much do they know about Ouyang Lun? They all clamored for me to transfer Ouyang Lun to the capital, thinking that this would help the Ming Dynasty develop better."

"We have been to Beizhili for so many private visits incognito. We know very well what kind of person Ouyang Lun is. He is lazy, greedy for money, cautious, and likes to curse. The key is that this kid always breaks the rules. You name it, Ouyang Lun With Lun's character, can I safely transfer him to the capital?"

"If Ouyang Lun is really transferred to the capital, I and all the civil and military officials will probably not be able to live well by then."

As Zhu Yuanzhang's married wife, Queen Ma not only heard the worries in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, but also heard Zhu Yuanzhang's deeper worries about Ouyang Lun.

The couple had a tacit understanding without breaking it.

"Father, I think the fourth brother-in-law is really good. He must be capable and a good person. It would be better if the other brothers-in-law were like the fourth brother-in-law!" Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Yaoji!"

"Fifty thousand." The eldest princess, Princess Lin'an, muttered: "Brother is partial, my husband is also very good, right?"

"Three things." The second princess, Princess Ningguo, echoed: "That's right, I heard that the fourth brother-in-law is the number one scholar, but he is still not as talented as my husband!"

"Three pieces! Fu Hu!" Queen Ma stretched out her hand, "Second brother, give me money!"

"Mother, there are obviously more after these three, you can just wait and touch it yourself, why are you in such a hurry." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"It's just a fool, and I have the final say in my cards." Empress Ma smiled and said, "Biao'er, get up and let your father play two rounds."

"Shall I fight? We can't!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "You'd better fight!"

"Father, come and give it a try." Zhu Biao stood up and pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to his seat, "I will serve as your military advisor. Today we, father and son, will kill everyone together!"

"Chongba, that boy Ouyang said that playing mahjong can also exercise your brain. Maybe after you play a few rounds of mahjong, you will be able to think about many things clearly!" Empress Ma said with a smile.

"Is it so magical? Then we have to try it!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he no longer refused.

As a result, everyone played mahjong again.

Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang was very talented in playing mahjong. Apart from losing a few times when he was not familiar with the rules at the beginning, he won almost all the cards later.

"Bar!"

"Bar!"

"Keep fighting!"

"Touch yourself!"

"Ha ha!"

"Give me money, give me money!"

"Touch yourself. It's all clear!"

As for Ouyang Lun's matter, Zhu Yuanzhang had long forgotten it.
