Father can be an enemy to the country

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Li Shanchang would say such words.

"You have said everything in your heart today. To put it bluntly, aren't you just dissatisfied?!" He stared at Li Shanchang with a scary smile.

"Yes, I'm just not satisfied!" Li Shan grew up and said happily, nodding heavily and saying:

"When I started your business with you, you only had two to three thousand people guarding a huge Chuzhou city. Just like a child walking on the street holding a gold ingot, someone could kill you at any time! I taught you this Only by opening warehouses and placing grain can you recruit enough soldiers! Only if I help you win over the gentry in Chuzhou can you gain a firm foothold!"

"It was me who taught you how to read and reason, and told you that you should learn from the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was 'open-minded, knowledgeable, good at assigning tasks, and not fond of killing people', so that you could rise to prominence and even dominate the world. Later, it was me who gave you advice and taught you how to do great things. Qiang, I will help you plan the attack on Nanjing and provide logistics for your army. I will also mediate the conflicts between you and the civil servants and generals." Li Shanchang became more and more impudent as he spoke.

"Without me, you would have been as finished as Sun Deya, Peng Da, Zhao Jun and those people. You wouldn't be able to reach the level of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng! Let alone what you are today!"

"The reason why we are so desperate is because when the superiors recruited me to join the gang in Chuzhou, they promised to share the wealth!" He said angrily:

"It turns out, when the king of Wu takes the throne, we will be the Duke of the country. When the king takes over the world and becomes the emperor, is it not too much for the Jin Dynasty to grant me the title of King of Huaixi? In the end, he is still the Duke of the country! And he is You are an empty-handed prince with no fiefdom, and you only have a meager salary of several thousand dan, and you still want us to be grateful to you?"

"You..." Zhu Yuanzhang was so scolded by Li Shanchang that he blushed, coughed and was speechless.

Eunuch Wu quickly rubbed his chest and shouted to Li Shanchang: "Master Li, don't you see that the dragon's body is not in good condition? Shut up!"

"Ahem!" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Li Shanchang with blood-red eyes and said, "No, let him say it! If you don't say it now, he will never have a chance to say it in his life!"

"Okay, let me continue." In fact, Li Shanchang had almost finished what he said, so he stopped talking and said:

"The reason given by the superior at that time was that there have been too many rebellions by kings with different surnames in the past dynasties, so this dynasty will not confer kings with different surnames. Okay, now the world belongs to your old Zhu family, and it has nothing to do with us, the founding heroes. ! Then just go ahead and do it yourself, I won’t take care of you anymore!”

With that said, he threw a memorial in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, then stood up on crutches and walked away without looking back.

"Your Majesty, just let him go like this?" Even Eunuch Wu couldn't bear it anymore.

"Let him go, what's the point of arguing with a dead man..." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three words "please apologize" on the cover of the memorial, and felt that it was extremely ironic, and then he coughed violently, feeling uncomfortable.

"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician quickly!" Eunuch Wu shouted loudly while rubbing the emperor's chest.

~~

That time just now was the only time in his life that he uttered sweet things to Boss Zhu, which exhausted all Li Shanchang's physical energy, energy and courage.

He originally thought that there would be Jin Yiwei who would arrest him directly, but no...

Since no one is arresting him, Li Shanchang will naturally leave the palace, but he will never sit down again. He had no choice but to walk in the palace with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He didn't even know how he got out of the Meridian Gate.

Li Qi had been waiting at the gate of the palace. When he saw Li Shan growing up, he quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Father, have you delivered the memorial?"

"Yes." Li Shanchang responded with a nasal voice and walked towards the carriage.

"What did the emperor say?" Li Qi asked again.

"The emperor invited me to eat noodles." Li Shanchang asked with an unexpected answer.

"Ah?" Li Qi was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Ah, that's a good thing."

"Yes." Li Shanchang responded casually, and with the help of his son, he got into the carriage.

Li Qi also got into the car. As the carriage swayed forward, he couldn't help but ask:

"Father, what should we do next?"

Li Shanchang said the word "wait" and then there was no movement.

Li Qi originally thought he was asleep, but when he took a closer look, he saw Li Shanchang staring at the roof of the car intently, as if he was crazy...

~~

Three days later, the emperor issued an order to summon eight princes, including Li Shanchang, Lu Zhongheng, Fei Ju, and Tang Shengzong, to visit Fengtianmen.

In the morning of the same day, the eight princes who had died at home reappeared in front of the civil and military officials after many days.

Then they read out their apologies one by one, saying that they were attracted by Hu Weiyong and fell into his trap for a moment. By the time I realized it, I was already regretting it.

Now they finally couldn't bear the condemnation of their conscience and their endless guilt towards the emperor, so they surrendered and were willing to accept all punishments, even though their sins were irredeemable...

We are all mature politicians. Emotions are emotions, and we have to deal with things as they should.

So after the eight people finished reading the apology letter, Boss Zhu said sadly that these people were all close friends who started his business with him. They had worked hard and made great achievements over the years, and memorial tablets had been reserved for them in the temple of meritorious officials. As a result, he accidentally made a mistake and ended up in ruins.

I really couldn't bear to execute these old brothers, so I decided to be extra merciful and allow them to hand over iron coupons to die. Just this once, never happen again.

Li Shanchang and others burst into tears of gratitude, thanked the emperor for his kindness, and said that although the emperor had forgiven them, he could not forgive himself.

Now Boss Zhu has to appease them and let them not have any psychological baggage, saying that since he has forgiven them, he will not pursue them anymore and they can all go back and live in peace...

Finally, their son was asked to help his father down.

Li Qi supported Li Shanchang and went out of the Meridian Gate to get on the carriage again.

After driving a certain distance, he finally no longer had to pretend to be sad, so he said happily: "The emperor finally pardoned my father, and we can consider this period over. Right, father?"

"Yes." Li Shanchang nodded calmly.

"By the way, father, when will mother and brothers come back?" Li Qi asked again.

"Soon." Li Shanchang replied somewhat perfunctorily, then took a deep look at his son and said:

"Qier, did you have a conflict with the princess?"

"No." Li Qi quickly denied it.

"No shit." Li Shanchang snorted: "How many days have you been home since?"

"Well, I just complained a few times and asked her why she didn't ask her mother to save her father. The princess got angry and refused to see me." Li Qi said depressedly: "I just let her go for a few days."

"You bastard!" Li Shan slapped him with a big mouth, and cursed: "Do you think we are still the same as before? We are now a fallen phoenix, not as good as a chicken. Why do you have a temper with the princess?!"

Li Qi hurriedly covered his face and said, "Dad, I know I was wrong."

"Alas..." Li Shan let out a long sigh and said in a slower tone: "Get out of the car quickly and go back to coax the princess. Remember from now on to support her and hold her, and never have any conflicts with her. In our family If it falls, it will be pointed at her from now on!”

"Hey, I understand, father." Li Qi responded hurriedly, wondering why his father was speaking strangely today, as if he was giving his last words.

But he didn't think much and hurriedly got out of the car and returned to the princess' mansion.

Li Shanchang took the car back to the empty Korean Mansion alone and entered the study.

After the screen retreated, he began to study the ink himself, and then took up a pen and wrote eight words on the wall of the study room - 'The emperor's kindness is so great that it is so shameful'!

Then he took off his belt, tied it to the beam, and hanged himself...

~~

Upon hearing the news of Taishi Li's suicide, Lu Zhongheng knew that his time had come.

He first told his wife his last words and asked her to convey his arrangements to his sons. After saying this, he drove his crying wife out of the room and bolted the door.

Then he took out the poison that he had prepared a long time ago, gritted his teeth and drank it.

Then he lay on his bed waiting to die. He thought it would be over in an instant, but he didn't know that being poisoned was a painful and long process. The pain made him roll over on the bed and howl!

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was seventeen years old. His hometown was plundered by rebel soldiers, he was short of food and clothing, and his parents and brothers died. He held a liter of wheat and lay down in the grass to hide. At this time, another army appeared, defeated the rebels, and discovered him.

The man at the head was Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked him: "Will you follow me?"

Lu Zhongheng replied: "Follow."

He then followed his superiors and left his hometown, heading towards the radiant distance...
