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

Chapter 623: The internal struggle of the Huaixi Party (Please subscribe!!)
Inside the Korean Palace.

The officials and nobles of the Huaixi Party who had gathered together all looked straight at Li Shanchang, their eyes full of questioning and worry.

Most of them had just rushed over from the Duke of Liang's mansion, and witnessed with their own eyes the scene where the Jinyiwei arrested Lan Yu and his adopted sons on the orders of the emperor! Later, they saw the emperor's personal eunuch coming with the imperial edict to appoint Lan Yu as the Grand Marshal!

Punish and suppress, reward and praise!
Such a huge difference actually happened within one hour in one night. Even the officials and nobles of the Huaixi Party were a little unsure!

They didn't know what the attitude of the retired emperor and the emperor was towards Lan Yu, and what their attitude was towards the Huaixi Party. This cold, direct and extremely different way of handling things made them puzzled. More importantly, they had not received any news before!
At this moment, these Huaixi Party officials and nobles felt as if they were surrounded by black clothes, knowing nothing and seeing nothing. This fear from the bottom of their hearts made it impossible for them to lie in bed and sleep!

He was afraid that he would be caught from his bed by the Jinyiwei in the middle of the night.

This kind of thing has happened before. When the Hu Weiyong case broke out, many Huaixi Party officials and nobles were implicated. Many of them were arrested in their beds and never came back!
They had managed to survive the previous rounds of major purges, and now that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to be buried, they were finally able to live in peace. Now that this kind of thing had happened, no one would feel good!

Therefore, they must find out the truth. Naturally, they, the officials and nobles of the Huaixi Party, do not have the courage to ask the retired emperor or the emperor directly. Therefore, Li Shanchang's place becomes the most suitable place. Although Lan Yu is in trouble, as long as Li Shanchang's flag does not fall, they can still survive!
Li Shanchang naturally knew more clearly what the people in front of him were thinking.

To be honest, Li Shanchang's emotions are now quite complicated. He feels a sense of crisis, but also some joy.

"Everyone, I already know about Lan Yu's situation. I was also involved in this matter at the court."

"Whether you believe it or not, the current situation was not what I expected. In the court, I and the other members of the Huaixi Party have done our best. If you want to blame someone, blame Lan Yu and his adopted son for going too far!"

"Your Majesty has solid evidence in his hands. It's already good enough to have achieved such a result!"

"I almost risked my life to get this. The danger in the court was far more intense than you can imagine. This time, our Huaixi Party is facing the siege of His Majesty the Retired Emperor, Ouyang Lun's party, and those in the middle!"

"Lan Yu's adopted sons were the specific persons in charge. The merit book is full of their merits. Everyone knows what their merits are. Your Majesty and the Emperor Emeritus also know. If Lan Yu's adopted sons don't die, it will be Lan Yu or even you who will die!"

"Even I am afraid that I cannot escape the blame. In this case, my Huaixi Party has come to an end!"

"Hey - I don't ask for your understanding, nor do I ask for Lan Yu's understanding. I just ask that after today's incident, you can clean up or hide your tail. The situation in the court has changed a long time ago. It's no longer the days when our Huaixi Party can cover the sky with one hand!"

As soon as Li Shanchang said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became sad.

The officials and nobles of the Huaixi Party at the scene also understood at this time that they seemed to have misunderstood the old prime minister. When they thought that Li Shanchang was so old and still running around for the Huaixi Party's affairs, they became more and more embarrassed.

"Old Prime Minister, you have done enough for us Huaixi people. If it weren't for your leadership over the years, our Huaixi Party would have been finished long ago!"

"That's right! No matter how much you say about what happened today, it's General Lan Yu himself who made the mistake. In the past, my Huaixi Party was the only one in power and had a lot of say in the court. Even His Majesty would not say anything about this matter!"

"Now that Ouyang Lun's party has risen, if we continue to act as we did before, I'm afraid it won't last long. Everyone sitting here will probably get into trouble. It's okay if we get into trouble ourselves, but I'm afraid that we will implicate the old prime minister!"

"What can we do?"

At this moment, the officials and nobles of the Huaixi Party began to understand Li Shanchang, but at the same time, they were extremely worried about their own future, fearing that they would lose their official positions and titles, and even the lives of all the people in the group!

Seeing that the situation on the scene had reached his expectations, Li Shanchang was delighted and continued, "Don't worry too much, everyone. As long as I am still here, I will never let anyone suppress our Huaixi disciples. But the premise is that you have to be strong and don't let anyone catch you. If you are caught, even if I want to save you, I will be powerless!"

"I still say the same old thing. From now on, you should try your best to clean up what you did before, and we must unite internally!"

Seeing that Li Shanchang had not given up on them until now, this group of Huaixi Party officials and nobles were deeply moved.

"With you here, old Prime Minister, we can rest assured!"

"That's right. With the old prime minister leading us, Ouyang Lun and the Prince Consort Party are no match for us!"

"Before, we were blinded by greed and actually doubted the old prime minister and questioned his ability. Damn it!"

"Please rest assured, old Prime Minister. From now on, we will definitely obey your orders. If you tell me to go east, we will definitely not go west!"

"That's it!"

Perhaps it was because they had found their backbone again, and it also rekindled everyone's fighting spirit. No one was as decadent and desperate as before.

"Ok!"

"Thank you all for your trust. With your support, I am more confident that I can fight Ouyang Lun to the end!"

"Hey--"

After saying this, Li Shanchang sighed again.

Seeing this, someone immediately asked, "Why did the old prime minister suddenly sigh?"

"That's right, is the old prime minister in trouble? Just tell us, and we will go through fire and water for him without hesitation!"

"It's not a particularly difficult thing." Li Shanchang said quietly, "Today, during the court meeting, His Majesty decided to kill Lan Yu's adopted son. In the end, it was I who failed to protect him. I feel so ashamed!"

After hearing this, someone immediately understood what Li Shanchang meant. "Is the old prime minister worried that General Lan Yu will hate him because of this?!"

"Although those adopted sons were personally trained by General Lan Yu, the old prime minister has tried his best, but Ouyang Lun is ruthless, and he has the help of the emperor and His Majesty. This is beyond human power to solve." The official continued: "Although this incident is a great blow to General Lan Yu, I believe that General Lan Yu will think it through and will not blame the old prime minister!"

"If General Lan Yu really blames the old prime minister for this, I am willing to explain to General Lan Yu until he understands your difficulties!"

The Huaixi Party official fell.

Other Huaixi Party officials and nobles followed suit.

"I do, too!" "And me!"

"We are all willing to persuade General Lan Yu!"

Are you kidding? The Huaixi Party is already in a very critical situation. If the two big guys, Lan Yu and Li Shanchang, start fighting among themselves at this time, there is no need to wait for Ouyang Lun and the Prince Consort Party to take action. The Huaixi Party will fall apart and these people will be close to death!
Judging from the current situation, although Lan Yu is the core of the next generation of the Huaixi Party, he still lacks experience in the court. This time he was controlled by Ouyang Lun, the retired emperor, and the emperor. Moreover, after this incident, his prestige has plummeted, and he may even be unable to recover from it!
Although Li Shanchang is old, apart from this point, there are almost no other shortcomings in him. The more dangerous the situation is, the greater the role of Li Shanchang. Even if the officials and nobles of the Huaixi Party are fools, they know to choose Li Shanchang!

If Lan Yu wanted to deal with Li Shanchang, then he would be the enemy of the entire Huaixi Party! !

Seeing this scene, Li Shanchang and Huang Zicheng next to him looked at each other and smiled. Today's goal had been achieved.

In fact, this plan was thought of by Huang Zicheng. After the morning court session, Li Shanchang and Huang Zicheng, the master and his disciple, discussed the matter privately. As the court session ended, they had already thought that Lan Yu would not have an easy time. They had already expected that Lan Yu would be punished, and they did not care that Lan Yu's adopted son was killed. They were not sad that Lan Yu was unable to recover.

But what they were worried about was that Lan Yu would bear a grudge against him, Li Shanchang. If Lan Yu was determined to take revenge, there would certainly be an internal struggle within the Huaixi Party, which would seriously weaken the Huaixi Party. This was what Li Shanchang least wanted to see, so they were discussing how to appease Lan Yu.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a way to appease Lan Yu. At this time, officials and nobles of the Huaixi Party gathered at the Duke of Han's mansion.

Li Shanchang was already upset about Lan Yu's incident, and he became even more upset when he heard that many people came to find him. He immediately planned not to meet these people, but Huang Zicheng said that he had found a solution. So Li Shanchang ran out to meet these panicked Huaixi Party officials and nobles, and staged this sad drama.

Just as Huang Zicheng said, after hearing Li Shanchang's complaints, the mentality of these Huaixi Party officials and nobles immediately changed. Not only did they stop questioning, but they supported Li Shanchang even more. In this way, Li Shanchang was able to unify the Huaixi Party, of course, except for Lan Yu.

According to Huang Zicheng's original words, since they could not think of a way to appease Lan Yu, they should reduce the harm caused by Lan Yu's revenge. Lan Yu's greatest power lies in the fact that a large number of people follow him in the army and the Huaixi Party. Once Lan Yu calls for help, these people will most likely stand on Lan Yu's side.

It just so happened that these people all ran to Li Shanchang's side because of Lan Yu's misconduct, so they could just unify their thoughts!

As long as the Huaixi Party is united in thought, even if Lan Yu wants to retaliate, he will not be able to do so. Moreover, after this incident, Lan Yu's prestige in the army will drop to freezing point, which is equivalent to reducing Lan Yu's threat to the lowest level!
The purpose is achieved.

However, just when Li Shanchang and Huang Zicheng felt that this wave was stable.

"General Lan Yu!!"

No one knew who shouted, but when everyone looked outside the hall, they saw Lan Yu slowly walking in.

this.
Everyone, including Li Shanchang and Huang Zicheng, were extremely shocked.

Didn't they say that Lan Yu was in a daze at home? Why did she suddenly come to his place again?

Bang Bang
Not only did Lan Yu come, but Lan Yu also called over his personal guards!

What is this blue jade for?

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became depressing.

The officials and nobles who had just been shouting to persuade Lan Yu and support Li Shanchang were all dumbfounded, and some even trembled all over.

The reason why Lan Yu could become the second most important figure in the Huaixi Party besides Li Shanchang was definitely not just because of his title and high official position. Lan Yu's methods were also quite ruthless. What Lan Yu hated most were those who were traitors and betrayers.

Lan Yu walked in step by step, his face calm and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, which made it even more difficult to understand.

Just when everyone was extremely nervous, Lan Yu made a new move. He walked up to Li Shanchang and bowed to him.

"Old Prime Minister, I was wrong this time!"

Forehead.
Upon hearing this, Li Shanchang was stunned.

He never expected that such an arrogant man like Lan Yu would actually admit his mistake to him.

Just when Li Shanchang was stunned, Huang Zicheng next to him reminded him: "Teacher, the general is still bowing!"

"oh oh!"

Li Shanchang quickly stood up and helped Lan Yu up, "Lan Yu, what are you doing?"

"Old Prime Minister, I have been thinking about this for a long time in my house, and I finally figured it out. The reason why I have become like this is mainly because of my own reasons!"

"It's my fault that after I accomplished my mission, I became a little too proud, which led to my not being thorough enough and the truth being exposed. Now I have brought this upon myself!"

"Hey - Lan Yu, you don't have to be like this. The Jinyiwei, Ouyang Lun, the Prince Consort Party, and even the Emperor and His Majesty are all behind this!" Li Shanchang hurriedly comforted him, "There are many human factors! But don't worry, if they are so deliberate against you, it means they are declaring an all-out war against our Huaixi Party. This matter is definitely not over!!"

"Old Prime Minister, you are right. I was careless this time. The Royal Guards clearly intended to target me!"

"Especially that guy named Zhao Jiu, who eats and takes from me, but he personally led people to capture my adopted sons!" Hatred burst out of Lan Yu's eyes!

"Maybe it was this guy who reported what happened to me in the military camp, and that’s why the Royal Guards got hold of me!"

"I will never pass this guy!"

Um! ?

Hearing this, Li Shanchang's face became gloomy, but he was somewhat happy in his heart because he had found a very suitable target for revenge!

This time Lan Yu lost more than a hundred adopted sons, so the Huaixi Party must take revenge. If they don't, how can the Huaixi Party keep its face?
