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

Chapter 588: Zhu Biao, the greatest emperor in history, also flatters (Please subscribe!!)
Hear this.

Li Shanchang and Huang Zicheng's faces turned very ugly. It was obvious that Ouyang Lun was talking about them!

But now neither of them had the intention to argue with Ouyang Lun, because they understood that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's attitudes had already determined that they could not win today.

"Brother-in-law, you said it very well!"

"Just do it, I fully support you!"

Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Ouyang Lun, we don't want to know anything else now. You just need to tell us whether you can do it or not!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Replying to Your Majesty, since I have said this, I am sure I can do it well!"

Ouyang Lun said lightly.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. He knew very well that as long as Ouyang Lun spoke up, the matter would most likely be settled.

"In that case, the task of resolving the impact of the Beijing-Ping Railway incident should be handed over to Ouyang Lun, and the Beijing-Ping Railway will still be led by Ouyang Lun." After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment, then said, "Li Shanchang."

"The minister is here."

"What was the name of the official you sent to the Beijing-Peking Railway construction site?"

"Your Majesty, call Qi Tai!" Li Shanchang replied hurriedly.

"Qi Tai has a good reputation among the people now, so let him continue to stay at the Beijing-Ping Railway construction site and serve as Ouyang Lun's deputy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

Hearing this, Li Shanchang was overjoyed and immediately bowed: "This old minister would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of Qi Tai!!"

Haha!

It’s really another village where everything is bright and clear!

I thought today would be a complete loss, but unexpectedly I gained something.

Although he failed to overthrow Ouyang Lun, Qi Tai was able to completely penetrate the Beijing-Pingyuan Railway. This was a good gain. As long as Qi Tai was on the construction site, there would be no shortage of opportunities! !

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian and Lu Chang again, "Ouyang Lun is the chief minister of the cabinet. Now he has to be in charge of the cabinet and the construction of the Beijing-Pingcheng railway. He is already busy enough!"

"As cabinet ministers, you two should not only help Ouyang Lun with cabinet affairs, but also with the affairs of the Beijing-Pingyuan Railway. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Song Lian and Lu Chang knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. They were overjoyed and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will definitely assist Prince Consort Ouyang!"

"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. "Now that the Ming Dynasty is booming, we also need some fresh blood. You two should recommend more young officials and train them more!"

"Yes!" Song Lian and Lu Chang responded quickly.

After arranging all this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ouyang Lun with some pride. He thought that Ouyang Lun's face must be very bad at the moment, but when Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ouyang Lun's real expression, he was stunned.

Because at this moment Ouyang Lun looked calm, without any dissatisfaction, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all!
Forehead.
Zhu Yuanzhang's complacency immediately disappeared. He knew that Ouyang Lun was telling him with his actions that he didn't care at all about Zhu Yuanzhang's attempt to sabotage the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little depressed and didn't want to talk anymore.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, and no one else dared to speak. Finally, Zhu Biao took the initiative to ask, "Father, do you have any other instructions?"

Instructions? What the hell!

This damn Ouyang Lun doesn't even care about us, so why should we give him instructions?
"We have nothing more to say. You, the Emperor, can handle the next thing yourself!" Zhu Yuanzhang said rather depressedly.

"Yes!"

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why his father, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, suddenly became so depressed, he was too embarrassed to ask directly under the current circumstances.

"The purpose of your coming here today is to discuss how to resolve the public opinion problem caused by the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway construction site incident. Now that a solution has been found, you can start to implement it after you go down!"

"The relevant officials accept their fate. I will issue an imperial decree shortly."

Zhu Biao spoke calmly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony saluted and then left the hall one after another. Ouyang Lun slipped away the fastest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wait until all the ministers have left.

Zhu Biao then signaled Xiao Lizi, Wang Zhong and other eunuchs, palace maids, and guards to retreat.

Seeing Zhu Biao's behavior, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally guessed something and immediately said, "Biao'er, do you have any questions for me?"

"Yes, father." Zhu Biao nodded.

"Just ask directly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Father, I don't understand why you have allowed officials from the Huaixi Party and the neutral faction to continue to participate in the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway project since you have already approved Brother-in-law Ouyang's method. According to today's situation, Brother-in-law Ouyang's job will be difficult in the future!"

"If they have any more disputes on the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway, it will have a great impact on the construction of the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway!"

"This Beijing-Pingcheng Railway is extremely important to our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao understood the importance of the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway better than Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, Zhu Biao often followed Ouyang Lun and saw the wisdom of thousands of people in the design institute and the Ming Dynasty's ever-growing industrial capabilities!
Zhu Biao remembered that Ouyang Lun had told him that the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway was like a major test of the Ming Dynasty's development over the years!

If the exam is passed, it will mean that Ming Dynasty has officially entered the industrial age. If the exam is failed, it means that Ming Dynasty’s development is not enough and it needs to continue to work hard.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Beijing-Ping Railway an important task, and Zhu Biao hoped that the Beijing-Ping Railway could be repaired as soon as possible. Zhu Biao had always believed that he and his father Zhu Yuanzhang had the same idea.

This is also the reason why Zhu Biao was quite puzzled about Zhu Yuanzhang's final decision and deployment.

Hearing Zhu Biao's question, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed, "Biao'er, you are still a little naive!"

"Let's not talk about it for now. Analyze it yourself first."

Zhu Biao immediately thought seriously, and after a moment he raised his head and asked, "Father, you are probably doing this to appease Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party. After all, Li Shanchang and his party prepared a lot this time, but they were stunned by Ouyang Lun. If you don't give them some good things, I'm afraid they will collapse."

"There is a little bit of this reason in it. Guess again!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and continued to ask.

"Also, Father, you want to use this incident to warn Brother-in-law Ouyang and make him consider it. However, considering Brother-in-law Ouyang's personality, this kind of warning seems to be useless, right?"

Zhu Biao made his guesses and expressed his doubts at the same time.

"Not bad, not bad. Biao'er, you're already very good at thinking of this!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile. "After all, this time, my father and I have used Li Shanchang, Song Lian, and Lu Chang just to force Ouyang Lun!"

"From the results, the effect is very good. Li Shanchang, Song Lian, and Lu Chang are all veteran officials. It will be safer to have them watch over the Beijing-Pinggu Railway construction site in the future."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then asked: "Is your father still worried about Brother-in-law Ouyang?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Of course we are worried about Ouyang Lun, but we won't use such means to deal with him. Biao'er, have you ever thought that the reason why Li Shanchang, Song Lian, and Lu Chang could blame Ouyang Lun without any scruples this time was largely because they were not involved in the Beijing-Pingyuan Railway. If they were involved and the same or similar problems occurred again, do you think they would still blame him so much?"

When Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he immediately reacted and understood the real intention of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement.

After understanding this, Zhu Biao admired his father Zhu Yuanzhang even more. Every step he made was of great significance!

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement not only appeased the Huaixi Party and the middle faction officials, but also secretly helped Ouyang Lun. They supervised each other, solved problems together, and perfectly balanced the forces in the entire court.

This is something Zhu Biao cannot do at the moment.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang firmly controlled the initiative in the court and enjoyed the greatest benefits.

At this moment, Zhu Biao seemed to have learned something, and there was a gleam of thinking in his eyes.

"Father is wise!"

"I have learned it!"

Zhu Biao saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his chair, patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "Biao'er, you are very smart and kind. The Ming Dynasty will surely become more prosperous in your hands. You will surely surpass me and become the best emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your son is terrified!"

"I just want to work hard to be a good emperor. It is impossible for me to surpass my father!"

"Father, in your son's heart, will always be the greatest emperor of all time!"

Zhu Biao said quickly.

"The greatest emperor of all time." Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "That was what Ouyang Lun taught you!"

"But we like it, haha!"

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang left with a smile.
There was this urgent imperial meeting.

A political power struggle was temporarily over. Although Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party did not get any good results at the hands of Ouyang Lun and were even criticized by Ouyang Lun, Zhu Yuanzhang finally appointed Qi Tai as Ouyang Lun's deputy for the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway Project. His official appointment was assistant minister of the project department. Although it was temporary, being able to serve as an assistant minister in the project department was definitely an impressive resume. Even if Qi Tai no longer had any special achievements, he only needed to do things step by step.

After the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway is completed and opened to traffic, Qi Tai will at least be able to become a Shangshu!
This is undoubtedly a great thing for the Happy Party. It not only gives Qi Tai a good opportunity to train, but also announces that the Huaixi Party will officially get involved in the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway project, which is very different from some of the places they had obtained in exchange for money before.

Since Qi Tai became the Minister of the Project Department, the Beijing-Pinggu Railway Project became part of the interests of their Huaixi Party, so naturally they would not want to continue to cause trouble.

This is even more true for the neutral faction. Now everyone is thinking about how they can make more contributions to the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway project!
For a time, all the private newspapers and periodicals such as "Da Ming Observation" which had been spreading rumors and causing trouble, as well as many representative people who had been shouting loudly, all stopped making negative remarks about the Beijing-Pinggu Railway and Ouyang Lun. Some even made a complete about-face and started bragging about the Beijing-Pinggu Railway. Of course, they certainly did not praise Ouyang Lun.

Without the newspapers fanning the flames and the leaders, the voice of public opinion became smaller and smaller, just like the waves, which started out as a storm, then gradually receded and finally turned back into a calm sea.

The most confused are the people and workers who were instigated and instigated. They really wanted to find out the truth and protect their own rights. However, after supporting for a long time, they found that their supporters were gone, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth!
This makes them very confused. After working for so long, they have not gained any benefits except physical and mental exhaustion. Some people even lost their jobs because of this.

These ordinary workers and people have no idea what public opinion is or what creating momentum is. When the dark hands behind the scenes are gone, they become confused lambs!
Soon, fewer and fewer people mentioned the Beijing-Pingling Railway Incident, and no one questioned Ouyang Lun anymore. Most of the people and workers returned to their normal lives, some farming and some working as migrant workers. The biggest puzzle in their hearts was why the vigorous protest came to an abrupt end.

They couldn't figure it out, and no one explained it to them. They felt like they were being cheated!

Some people and workers also came to their senses and began to miss all the good things about Ouyang Lun, and felt that their previous suspicion of Ouyang Lun was not correct.

It was at this time.

The imperial court promulgated the "Regulations on Workers' Grades and Related Rights Protection".

Major official media outlets began to publicize the entire regulation in newspapers, and commentators from all over the country gave their interpretations of the regulation.

The workers were very practical. They quickly figured out that this regulation was extremely beneficial to them. This regulation was issued under the leadership of Ouyang Lun, and the workers and the people completely understood it.

They completely misunderstood Ouyang Lun.

The suspicion before the guilt, coupled with the gratitude now, the support of the people of Ming Dynasty for Ouyang Lun has returned to the original level, and even exceeded it! !

When people suspected Ouyang Lun before, they smashed the longevity tablet that was dedicated to Ouyang Lun. However, after the new regulations were announced, many people went to ask for Ouyang Lun's longevity tablet back to worship. Once someone took the lead in doing this, countless people would follow suit.

At one time, countless people went to temples and Taoist temples to ask Ouyang Lun to bring his immortal status home.

This directly led to all major temples and Taoist temples being packed, and the trees used to make the longevity rankings were sold out!

Now that the trees are gone, some people used silver and gold to build a longevity tablet for Ouyang Lun, as if any family that did not enshrine an longevity tablet for Ouyang Lun would be considered an outcast.

When Ouyang Lun heard the news, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at first, but then he had a new idea.
