Father can be an enemy to the country

Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter is the daughter of Concubine Cheng Mu Sun. After Concubine Sun died, she was raised by the queen. She is seventeen years old this year, and she has indeed reached the age of marriage...

Hearing this, Li Shanchang burst into tears again on the spot. He held the table in excitement and knelt down to kowtow to Boss Zhu: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness, the dog has been lucky for the rest of his life."

"Hahaha, then we have made an agreement." Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed heartily, stretched out his hand to help Lao Li and said: "My father-in-law, get up quickly."

"Congratulations to the Emperor on the double happiness, and congratulations to the Korean government on the arrival of Phoenix!" Li Zhen and others also congratulated and toasted, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more warm and harmonious.

Although Hu Weiyong was the prime minister, he was placed at the second table and did not sit at the main table.

Seeing the emperor and Li Shanchang holding hands again and calling themselves brothers, he finally realized that his status in the emperor's heart would never reach the level of the Korean Duke...

Hu Weiyong took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. When he stood up, his face was already filled with a humble smile. He walked to the main table with a wine glass and was about to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly and said first: "We haven't started to go around the table to toast yet, why is Hu Xiang so anxious?"

"Yes, I am impatient due to my humble position." Hu Weiyong smiled and wanted to retreat, but felt that his ears were burning and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly and took two steps back, then smiled again and said: "You are here, so you can respect me."

"Hey, yes, yes." Hu Weiyong didn't have any temper at all, and hurriedly stepped forward to toast to Boss Zhu again.

Zhu Yuanzhang held the wine glass, but did not drink it yet. Instead, he pointed at Hu Weiyong and smiled at Li Shanchang: "Old Li, you are a good student, much better than the one of Old Liu."

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong's liver trembled again. The 'Old Liu' that the Emperor said was definitely not his sixth son, but that damn Yang Xian!

Hu Weiyong was able to enter the Zhongshu Province at that time, in fact, it was thanks to Yang Xian, a vicious dog, who bit Li Shanchang until his hips were bruised. The Korean male couldn't lie down and bite back, so he took a fancy to this good dog and came to bite Yang Xian.

Hu Weiyong did not disappoint Li Shanchang, and successfully killed Yang Xian and replaced him...

At this time, the emperor mentioned his relationship with Mr. Han and Yang Xian, and his intention could not be more obvious.

Just reminding the dog...oh no, reminding Hu Weiyong not to forget who he is and where he comes from.

What Hu Weiyong could understand, Li Shanchang also knew clearly and secretly rejoiced in his misfortune.

However, he knew very well that Boss Zhu was not only trying to exclude Hu Weiyong, but also suppressing the Prime Minister's prestige, so he would not make matters worse.

"Haha, the superior is ridiculous." Li Shanchang shook his head and said with a smile: "In terms of intelligence and intelligence, the old minister is not as good as Cheng Yibo, and Hu Xiang is not as good as his students. But a ruler is short and an inch is long. Our master and disciple are sincere , The second is diligence, riding a horse ten times, and the merit is due to perseverance."

"Old Li said it well, Xiao Hu, I better learn from your enxiang." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled on his face, but secretly cursed this old dog for being so shameless.

"Yes, student, I would like to toast you to Enxiang. Thank you for your kindness." Hu Weiyong had no choice but to toast Li Shanchang again in public. Even his self-identification was changed from ‘humble job’ to ‘student’.

"Hu Xiangyan is serious. You have devoted yourself to the emperor, which is the greatest reward for me." Li Shanchang said a few words, but did not step on Xiao Hu.

"Student, I would like to offer another drink to Enxiang Enxiang." Hu Weiyong picked up another glass of wine and said, "Congratulations to Enxiang Enxiang for having Feng Laiyi in his residence..."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hu." Li Shanchang smiled and had another drink with him.

At the farthest table on the east side, Zhu Zhen was eating while watching his father and his two prime ministers. The hypocritical intrigues there felt more satisfying than watching "The Legend of Wu Song".

"Why did the father want to marry the eldest sister to the son of the Korean prince?" Lao Wu was confused.

"Oh, maybe it's because the other princes are married, so it's rude to be the only one to stay empty-handed." Lao Liu replied casually.

"That's right." Lao Wu nodded and believed it. He didn't care about these things in the first place, but he only asked about it because it was related to his eldest sister's marriage. Since Lao Liu said so, he believed it...

Of course Lao Liu was just talking nonsense. After studying with Liu Bowen for such a long time...well, he was teaching Lao Liu most of the time...Lao Liu's political level has skyrocketed, and he can already understand the ways here.

Although the Kongyin case was caused by Li Shanchang, the father also tried his best to deal with Li Shanchang at the beginning.

But things are constantly evolving and never remain static.

The empty seal case has already caused a devastating blow to Li Shanchang's reputation.

Because the local government passively raised military supplies under Li Shanchang's suggestion, it delayed the army's Northern Expedition and ultimately angered Boss Zhu.

The reason why those local officials listened to Li Shanchang was partially because he had some leverage, but the more critical reason was that they believed he could still force the emperor to make concessions. In this way, the situation of monarch and ministers co-governing became a reality, and they could dominate unscrupulously... Oh no, they could transform the Ming Dynasty into what they wanted according to their own will.

In the end, Boss Zhu succeeded in overturning the situation with just an empty piece of paper. He also broke the unspoken rule that the law does not punish the public, and jailed all the governors of twelve provinces and more than 300 prefects and county magistrates. Even the provincial government has done it all...

Li Shanchang lost his wife and lost his troops. In addition to proving that they were tied together, they were no match for Boss Zhu. The feudal officials who supported him even lost their heads.

There are so many officials who have been condemned to death and sent to the army with a hundred sticks. They all hate Li Shanchang to death.

Therefore, everyone in the world felt that Lao Li was a withered bone in the grave and deserved to be killed by the emperor.

But on the other hand, Hu Weiyong went through a series of extreme operations, especially when he confronted Boss Zhu at the court meeting... Although he relented at the last moment, he still won the respect of all civil and military officials, and regarded him as the second best person after Li Shanchang. The prime minister who can protect everyone from wind and rain.

This is exactly what Hu Weiyong wants...

As a result, my father today resurrected the defeated Li Shanchang and knocked down most of Hu Weiyong's arrogance.

In this way, at least the nobles present will feel that the Korean father-in-law still has a strong relationship, and even after doing this, he still has not lost his holy family. Naturally, he would stop abandoning Lao Li.

More importantly, how could the nobles respect Hu Weiyong from the bottom of their hearts after witnessing Hu Weiyong's humble and ugly appearance?

In this way, even if Hu Weiyong secures his position, he will not receive the full support of both civil and military groups like Li Shanchang did before.

A prime minister with only civilian support is nothing to fear. This is something Zhu Zhen understands.
