Chapter 1614 : Unfair reward
They have great power, almost everything, advise the emperor, speak in the way, impeach all officials, inspect local governments, etc., from the Secretariat to local governments, from the emperor to the officials, from national affairs to the lives of the people, they are all within the scope of the supervision and speech of the censors. Because of their unique identity and special power, all civil and military officials in the court were afraid of them when they saw them. It would be better not to touch them if they offend them. Once they offend them, these Taoist masters, even if you are the emperor, will not take these emperors seriously.
In the early years of Hongwu, the censor Zhou Guanzheng was ordered to inspect Yingtian. When he was inspecting, he met a group of eunuchs leading a group of female music to Fengtian Gate. According to the Ming Dynasty's inner palace system, female music was not allowed to enter. Zhou Guanzheng immediately stepped forward to stop him. Seeing that his official position was not high, the eunuchs snorted coldly and said, "I have an imperial decree! I don't take Zhou Guanzheng seriously and argued with him. Zhou Guanzheng insisted that even if there was an imperial decree, he would not violate the Ming Dynasty's inner palace system, and he would never allow female music to enter. The eunuch had no choice but to return to the palace to report to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After a while, the emperor's oral order was issued that the Emperor would no longer allow the Nu Le to enter the palace. The Censor Zhou could go back to rest in peace. Unexpectedly, Zhou Guanzheng refused to forgive and insisted on "responding to the imperial edict in person". There was no way, Zhu Yuanzhang had to leave the palace to comfort him and said to Zhou Guanzheng, "You did the right thing, I have already regretted it, and no need Nu Le." "This matter was just aborted, the emperor was like this, let alone his position who was about to retire?"
Liu Bowen is the chief censor, the chief six ranks and the censor. If Hu Weiyong wants to take the position of prime minister, he must drive Liu Bowen out of Yingtian. Otherwise, with him, relying on the six ranks, even if Hu Weiyong takes the position of prime minister, it will be difficult for a long time. Li Shanchang's calculations will be completely miscalculated.
"In the current situation, if Lord Hu wants to successfully take up the position of prime minister, he must drive Liu Bowen out of Yingtian Prefecture, otherwise, this matter will still be extremely mysterious?" After some conspiracy, Li Shanchang stroked his long beard and looked at Hu Weiyong.
"Turn out Liu Bowen? This is a bit difficult to deal with. This person is famous and smart. The emperor's favor for him is not inferior to that of an adult. If there is no good reason, not only will he offend this person, but he will also make the emperor unhappy. At that time, he will be afraid of his humble position-?" Hu Weiyong said worriedly.
Li Shanchang stroked his long beard and suddenly smiled, saying, "Is this not difficult?"
"Maybe the Lord has an idea?" Hu Weiyong leaned over, felt happy and asked.
Li Shanchang's eyes flashed, and he did not answer immediately. After pondering for a while, he suddenly stared at Hu Weiyong and said, "In your opinion, how is the current priest a human being?"
Hu Weiyong was stunned and said he didn't understand what Li Shanchang was doing in his gourd, but he knew very well that he would never ask questions for no reason. He thought for a while and said, "Today's emperor, who knows people and uses them well, cares for the people, and makes a decisive decision, is not inferior to Tang Zong and Song Zu. He is considered a hero of the previous generation?"
Li Shanchang nodded and said, "Yes, the current emperor can destroy Chen Youliang, kill Zhang Shicheng, attack Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding, and Ming Yuzhen in this chaotic world. It's a pity that the heroic lords have shortcomings?"
Hu Weiyong's eyes flashed, stared at Li Shanchang and said, "Oh," he said, "Sir, please tell me?"
Li Shanchang said: "It is true that the emperor is very talented and wise, but people are suspicious. If the emperor can suspect me, Li Shanchang, how can he not doubt Liu Bowen?"
Hu Weiyong said: "Do you want to - do something about it?"
Li Shanchang secretly called Clever, nodded and smiled, "Yes, the emperor is suspicious by nature, so you and I will take advantage of this to get rid of Liu Bowen."
Hu Weiyong said: "Liu Bowen is a cunning person, and the emperor favors him very much. If there is no sufficient reason to make the emperor suspicious, would he want to get rid of Liu Bowen's humble position?"
Li Shanchang smiled and said, "The true nature has followed Your Majesty for decades. What is your Majesty's personality? The true nature is the most clear. It is true that the current emperor Liu Bowen is re-existing, but he may not be without doubt?"
"Oh, what do you say about this sir?" Hu Weiyong said.
Li Shanchang walked back and forth with his hands on his back, his eyes flashed a few times, and then he smiled strangely, saying, "I asked you, the emperor has fought in the south for many years and can destroy Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and Chen Youding. Now, he has driven the Tartars out of the Central Plains. What else can he rely on to rely on Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other military generals?"
Hu Weiyong blurted out: "It depends on the Lord to stabilize the rear and consolidate the morale of the army, and Liu Bowen's strategy to win a thousand miles away?"
Li Shanchang nodded and said, "That's right, so Your Majesty compared Xu Da to Han Xin in the current era, compared Ben to Xiao He in the current era, and Liu Bowen to Zhang Liang in the next generation, but now he is the prime minister of Han, and is appointed as the founding minister of the founding power and integrity, and is specially promoted to the Guanglu Dafu, Zuozhuguo, Taishi, and the left prime minister of the Secretariat; he was named Han Duke, with an annual salary of 4,000 stones, and his descendants were inherited; he was given the iron scroll to avoid two deaths, and his son was exempted from one death. There were six people who were named Duke, and a scholar was ranked first. He was awarded the title of Xiao He in the sect and comparing him to Xiao He, and he praised it as the only one in Hengqiu. Even the general Xu Da was named Duke of Wei, and his official position was appointed as the general, and his salary was countless. Among the three, Liu Bowen was named Chengyi Bo, with a salary of only 240 stones, which was the lowest of all counts. Do you know why?"
Hu Weiyong was already confused about the rewards for the morning court this day. After hearing what Li Shanchang said, he hurriedly said: "I'll ask you to explain in detail."
Li Shanchang stroked his long beard and smiled, saying, "Liu Bowen is planning and winning a thousand miles away. He will successfully wipe out Chen Youliang for His Majesty, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Chen You will definitely unify Jiangnan and make great achievements. Even the calendar of the Ming Dynasty, etiquette cannot be separated from him, but only one count is the salary of 240 stones per year is indeed a pity, but if you think about it carefully, you will find the mystery of this matter from it?"
Hu Weiyong and Li Cunyi said "Oh" at the same time, looking at Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang said: "Our Majesty is the lord of great talent and strategy, but he is very suspicious. He is a native of Huaixi. He followed him all the way before His Majesty achieved hegemony. In recent years, he stabilized the rear, stabilized the morale of the army, transported food and grass, and ensured that His Majesty will fight one after another without being weaker than the enemy. Therefore, Your Majesty is extremely at ease with me. Liu Bowen is from East Zhejiang, and is a man of a magical and wise plan, and he is overwhelmed with all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. Chen Youliang is because
When he arrived, he died in Poyang Lake. The overlord Zhang Shicheng was defeated by Pingjiang because of his Liu Bowen. Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding, and Xiao Ming Wang fought again. One hero after another died because of his plan. With His Majesty's character, could such a person have also used a poisonous plan for himself in the future. How could such a person be with peace of mind? To put it badly, it would be good if the emperor could not kill him, and he wanted to reward the duke. That was simply delusional!"
