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

Chapter 460 Oops, I was caught sleeping (please subscribe!!)
The last row is so nice, it’s simply the best place to catch a fish and sleep.

But it's a pity that all this can't go back. With his current status, no one will allow him to stand in the last row.

Of course, the third row is also very good. There are people in front of it, so it doesn't need to be too eye-catching.

Li Shanchang, you have to work harder. It's best to attract Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes so that you can feel more relaxed.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun were satisfied with the court situation, Li Shanchang also showed a satisfied look.

Originally, he was a little worried that if he returned to the court, Ouyang Lun would be extremely resistant to him, making it difficult for him to step down. Ouyang Lun was still very young, even younger than Lan Yu, and it was normal for him to be unable to control his emotions. But in the end, Ouyang Lun took the initiative to give in and gave up his position as the number one civil servant!
Civil servants are first in line!

This position is finally back!
After all, Ouyang Lun is still a little younger and his methods are not strong enough. He may be able to deal with other officials, but he is still not good enough to deal with him, an official veteran.

Now with His Majesty's support, it is not difficult for him, Li Shanchang, to step on Ouyang Lun.

Other officials saw the subtle changes in the court, but no one dared to say anything. The emperor, Li Shanchang, and Ouyang Lun, the three most powerful men in the court, were not something they could participate in.

"Shan Chang, I'm very happy that you can come back!"

"it is good!"

"If this doesn't work, then pick a few who dance the most happily and are the most stubborn, and kill them in front of the people, and shock them severely!"

"Lü Chang, how is the education reform going?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Swish--

All civil and military officials said in unison.

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's rage, several officials who stood up to plead for mercy were immediately frightened and trembling all over, and they fell to the ground.

Ouyang Lun followed all the officials and bowed in agreement. Having been with Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, Ouyang Lun knew Zhu Yuanzhang quite well. When Zhu Yuanzhang said so many words, he naturally understood what he meant.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these officials who stood up to speak for the Confucian scholars. These officials did not have high official positions, but they were related to the Confucian scholars overtly or covertly. In other words, these officials themselves were people who respected Confucianism in governing the country. Naturally, they did not want to see Confucianism. Collapse.

"Your Majesty, all these ministers are doing this for the sake of my great Ming Dynasty!"

This calculation is really loud!

After Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he looked at the civil and military officials in the hall, "My dear friends, you must assist the prince just like you assist me, and strive to let the prince officially take over the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible! Let the Ming Dynasty become more prosperous!"

"We are old partners. You will have to give me more advice from now on!"

"Your Majesty, please release the arrested scholars without charge! To calm the hearts of the people in the world!"

"From now on, whether it is Ouyang Lun, Li Shanchang, or other ministers' suggestions, you must listen carefully and treat them equally!" Zhu Yuanzhang warned.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, a murderous atmosphere suddenly appeared in the entire Tai Chi Hall.

Taiji Hall suddenly became quiet.

"Your Majesty, you can't kill those great scholars! Let alone imprison them!"

The first one is naturally to support Li Shanchang, express his support for Li Shanchang, and tell everyone that Li Shanchang was called back by Zhu Yuanzhang for the purpose of checking and balancing Ouyang Lun. At the same time, he is also saying that Ouyang Lun and Li Shanchang must Let's fight!

"I obey your orders!"

The second one is to remind Zhu Biao that both Ouyang Lun and Li Shanchang are assisting Zhu Biao, so they must use them well and have a good balance!

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Lu Chang straightened his clothes and then walked out of the queue, "Your Majesty, the implementation of education reform in Ming Dynasty is quite smooth. Schools, teachers, and unified books are all in place. However, during the implementation process, I encountered local officials, The imperial envoys sent by the imperial court forcefully captured these people despite the obstruction by the great Confucians and the gentry, and many officials and great Confucians have been escorted to the capital! "

"Then it depends on your performance!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I am old, and many affairs of the court have been handed over to the prince. The prince was originally assisted by Ouyang Lun and other Aiqings, but now he is assisted by you, an old minister. I feel even more relieved!”

"Humph!"

"I think the Ming Dynasty's education reform is not necessarily correct. If the reform fails, we want to go back to the original education model. Without these great scholars, it will not work!"

Li Shanchang hurriedly came out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to your majesty's love, I have forgiven you for the mistakes I made before, and you have also entrusted me with important responsibilities. I will serve your majesty until my death!"

"Biao'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to speak.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "These people are just trying to block the car. How to deal with it? We, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment, will discuss it and deal with them all severely!"

quiet--

These officials tried their best to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to kill the great scholar.

"Okay, let's officially start today's morning session!"

"You guys are so brave!" Zhu Yuanzhang roared angrily: "The Confucians tried to monopolize our education in the Ming Dynasty, and now they are openly opposing the imperial court on educational reform. A serious crime has been committed here. The last time I encouraged Confucian scholars to protest, I They have been given opportunities, but they have not realized their mistakes and have repeatedly blocked the advancement of education reform!”

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"I agree that this educational reform has the greatest impact on Confucianism. It is normal for these great Confucians to have some emotions. The court should provide more guidance and must not kill them all!"

"Your Majesty, those great scholars are the wealth of our Ming Dynasty. They are knowledgeable and have great influence in the world. It would be too heartless to kill them like this!"

Suddenly several officials stood up.

"My son is here." Zhu Biao, who was standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang, said quickly.

"Father, please rest assured, I will definitely remember this!" Zhu Biao agreed.

"Killing the great scholar is really a foolish move. I'm afraid it will cause the last chaos again. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"You actually still want to plead with them? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

Listening to the wailing sounds of these officials, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, scanned the entire Tai Chi Hall with a pair of tiger eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Do the rest of you think the same way?"

All the civil and military officials in the main hall looked at Ouyang Lun and Li Shanchang in front of them.

It is estimated that these two are the only ones who dare to answer His Majesty the Emperor's question now.

But when they looked at Ouyang Lun, they were stunned because Ouyang Lun was sleeping with his prosthetic eyes at the moment! !

The Prince Consort is so awesome that he no longer snores even when he sleeps.

Finally Li Shanchang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Oh!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang, "Li Shanchang, if you have anything to say, just say it!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Shanchang nodded slowly, and then said: "Your Majesty, regarding the local promotion of this education reform I think Confucianism is responsible for all the problems we have encountered!"

"If it weren't for the great Confucian scholars who laid the foundation in various places, how could our education reform in Ming Dynasty be so fast! We can't even find teachers who have passed the exam!"

"Confucianism has a great influence among the people. If these great Confucians of the day are punished at will, I am afraid it will cause even greater protests."

"Therefore, I do not recommend that these great scholars be severely punished."

The words fell.

Tai Chi Hall became quiet again.

Many people looked at Li Shanchang with shocked eyes. They never expected that Li Shanchang would be so decisive! The attitude is also so firm.

Several officials who had just given advice to Zhu Yuanzhang all raised their heads and cast grateful glances at Li Shanchang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned by Li Shanchang's words, and then said in a deep voice: "Li Shanchang, you should know that these great scholars who were captured in the capital are all trying their best to obstruct the advancement of education reform. If they are not dealt with, other people in the future will The great Confucians imitated others, so how can we, the Ming Dynasty, promote educational reform?”

"Does it mean that even if they have done such a big mistake, I shouldn't deal with them?"

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Li Shanchang remained calm, as if he had expected it, and immediately answered, "Your Majesty, those great scholars did something wrong by obstructing education reform, but I think their behavior is excusable!"

"In the past, we relied solely on Confucianism to support our education in the Ming Dynasty. Now that the education in the Ming Dynasty is about to be reformed, we will leave them aside. This is tantamount to burning the bridge by crossing the river!"

Having said this, Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang quietly, and seeing that the latter's expression did not change significantly, he continued: "In fact, in the opinion of the veteran, the conflicts between the imperial court and Confucianism can be reconciled. In fact, if they communicate well in advance, even There will be no large-scale Confucian protests!”

"The reason why these great Confucian scholars are opposed is definitely not against the Ming Dynasty, let alone His Majesty, but against the impact of this educational reform on them. Perhaps there are people with ulterior motives here. They want to see the imperial court and Confucianism confront each other, and then They stand up and solve the problem again to show their ability and contribution! ”

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

As soon as Li Shanchang said these words, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became subtle.

Be nice!

As expected of someone who once served as prime minister, these words go around and around. On the surface, they are trying to excuse Confucianism, but in fact, their target is Ouyang Lun!

Although Li Shanchang never mentioned Ouyang Lun from beginning to end, Li Shanchang's words reminded people of Ouyang Lun. After all, the education reform plan was proposed by Ouyang Lun and was promoted by Ouyang Lun. According to Li Shanchang, Ouyang Lun did these things The purpose is to take advantage of Confucianism, demonstrate its abilities, and make contributions at the same time!
Logically it seems to make sense!
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Shanchang in surprise. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he began to murmur in his heart.

Haha, although Li Shanchang has not been in the court for a while, his method of diverting trouble and confusing the public is still a precious sword!

In a few words, Ouyang Lun was established as a conspirator who did not achieve his goals and used any means!
Of course, Li Shanchang's words may be able to fool some officials, but he can clearly see what kind of person Ouyang Lun is. Others don't know, but he, Zhu Yuanzhang, doesn't know? Although Ouyang Lun has a lot of thoughts, he is definitely not such an unscrupulous person, otherwise he would have been beaten by him long ago.

Li Shanchang's description is somewhat similar to "Hu Weiyong", but it is a pity that Ouyang Lun is not Hu Weiyong.

Although he knew Li Shanchang's true intention, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to expose Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang was throwing water on Ouyang Lun, not Zhu Yuanzhang, so it had nothing to do with him Zhu Yuanzhang. He called Li Shanchang back to the court. Come on, don’t you just want Ouyang Lun and Li Shanchang to fight!
The current scene is exactly what he meant.

Now that Li Shanchang has officially made his move, we have to look at Ouyang Lun next.

He wanted to see how Ouyang Lun would fight back.

Zhu Yuanzhang then looked towards Ouyang Lun and saw that Ouyang Lun was still sleeping!
His face was immediately filled with black lines.

"Cough cough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's coughing sound echoed throughout the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Wang Zhong asked quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands, stared at Ouyang Lun, and said solemnly: "I have nothing wrong with you!"

Now all the civil and military officials knew what was going on.

Li Shanchang looked back and saw Ouyang Lun sleeping with his fake eyes on, and he was speechless for a while.

Damn it, I've been talking to you for a long time, but you guy didn't even listen to a word of it!

Li Shanchang suddenly felt as if he had hit cotton with his fist.

Swish--

The eyes of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang were all on Ouyang Lun, and naturally the eyes of others also turned to Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun was still sleeping peacefully while standing, but Shan Anren, the Minister of Industry next to him, couldn't bear it any longer, so he touched Ouyang Lun lightly and said softly: "Prince Consort, wake up!"

"Prince Consort, wake up!"

Um! ?

Ouyang Lun frowned and muttered: "Old Dan, didn't I tell you? His Majesty didn't call me or leave the court, don't wake me up?"

Shan Anren, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, could not speak anymore at this moment and could only continue to poke Ouyang Lun.

Finally, Ouyang Lun was poked awake.

Um! ?

Ouyang Lun opened his eyes and suddenly found that everyone in Tai Chi Hall was looking at him.

Damn it, a large social death scene!

"Ouyang Lun, are you awake?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked angrily.

"Sleep? Hey, Your Majesty, you really know how to laugh. It's morning, who dares to sleep!"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "I kept listening and definitely didn't sleep."

With that said, Ouyang Lun quickly took off the fake eye paper stuck to his eyelids.

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the civil and military officials were speechless. When it comes to telling lies, no one can compare to you, Ouyang Lun!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very angry, secretly saying that Ouyang Lun was shameless, but soon Zhu Yuanzhang thought of a way to trick Ouyang Lun, and immediately said with a smile: "Since you were listening carefully just now, let me ask you, what Li Shanchang just said, What do you think?"

What Li Shanchang said? !
Ouyang Lun was stunned. He had really fallen asleep just now and didn't hear what Li Shanchang said at all!
How to answer this?

Seeing that Ouyang Lun was stunned, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "What? I don't know how to answer? Or you don't know what Li Shanchang said at all? If you don't know, you are bullying the king, and I will punish you severely today!!"
