Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent after hearing Zhu Biao's words.
Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun also wanted to leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang signaled them to stay.
Emperor Zhu smiled and asked,"
"Boss, who do you think we should choose?”
Zhu Biao answered without hesitation,"
"Teacher Liu Ji, your son thinks it is the most suitable?”
"Mr. Liu is one of the three important ministers acknowledged by my father. Now that Uncle Xu has retired from the position of Right Prime Minister, isn't it just nice?
Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer Zhu Biao directly. Instead, he smiled and said,"
"Liu Ji has been promoted to the right prime minister, where can I find a censor?”
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this. He had already heard Zhu Yuanzhang's rejection and hurriedly said,
"Imperial Father, if Liu Ji doesn't become the Right Prime Minister, do you want Hu Weiyong to become the Prime Minister?”
"Hu Weiyong is from Huaixi. If both the Left and Right Ministers are controlled by Huaixi, Father will become even more passive!”
"As the saying goes, the emperor's mind is focused on weighing. What is your intention in doing this?”
Zhu Biao's words made Xu Miaoyun and Xu Da feel a little awkward.
Old Zhu was angry and amused at the same time. It was very interesting to see how Xu Da wanted to leave but could not.
Strictly speaking, Xu Da was also a Huaixi person.
However, because he never formed cliques for personal gain, he did not get too close to Li Shan Chang and the others.
Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Xu Da was unique.
"Xu Da, what do you think?”
"Old brother, I'm going to the front line. Don't trick me!”
Xu Da's face was bitter as he said," This humble subject believes that the Emperor has already made plans in his heart, but it's definitely not Liu Bowen!”
Xu Miaoyun also laughed. It seemed that of everyone present, only the Crown Prince had not thought it through. The Emperor had never considered Liu Ji.
Not now, and not in the future.
She should not have been able to see through the Emperor's guess, but after Zhu Rong's reminder, she was now the one who understood the Emperor's thoughts the most.
"Xu girl, tell me, should I choose Liu Ji?”
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun quickly knelt down and said,"
"I dare not overstep my boundaries. Political affairs are not something a woman can interfere with!”
"However…when I was with the King of Wu, I had once discussed this topic with my husband. At that time, my husband said that Liu Ji would definitely not go up!”
"Why?"
Crown Prince Zhu Biao felt that he was a fool.
Why did everyone think that Liu Bowen couldn't get on?
Xu Da was an old brother of the Emperor for decades, and they had rebelled together. He definitely knew his father better than he did.
But how could Fifth Brother guess correctly?
Among all the princes, because of his rebellion, he participated the least in political affairs.
Even if he met the emperor, he would either be punished or be punished on the way.
Unlike him, who had been by his father's side since he was young. Could it be that he could guess his father's thoughts just by imagination?
Xu Miaoyun only replied to the Crown Prince's question,"
"Uncle Sincerity, you're not sincere enough!"
Zhu Yuanzhang instantly burst into laughter.
"This fifth brother is good!"
"Just based on this sentence, Zhen knows how deep this bastard hides!”
"Turn around, zhen should spank this bastard's butt again!”
"Uncle Sincerity, you're not sincere enough?"
Zhu Biao took a step back and thought about this sentence slowly, but he couldn't understand it.
"Boss, you've been by my side all these years. You can be considered diligent, but you're too kind!”
"When you think about things, you're more naive than No. 5, but you're less intelligent!”
"Miao Yun, continue. I want to hear that little bastard's evaluation!”
Xu Miaoyun thought for a moment and said,"
"Crown Prince, you might as well think about it. Why did the Emperor place Liu Ji in the position of Censor Zhongcheng?”
"The censor is in charge of supervising all officials. Liu Ji is the head of the censors. His role is to impeach and restrict Huaixi Group!”
"All these years, the emperor allowed him to pull out the Zhedong Group and fight with Huaixi!”
"But, regarding the matter in Fengyang, has the Crown Prince heard of Liu Ji's last memorial?”
"The entire Imperial Censorate was like a blind man who turned a blind eye to the matter of the founding heroes bullying the people and embezzling the fertile land!”
"Is this still the Liu Ji that His Majesty wants to see? Is this still the Censorate that His Majesty wants?”
Zhu Biao was rendered speechless by Xu Miaoyun's words. The words left behind by Zhu Rong appeared in his mind.
Sincerity is not enough,
It turned out that Fifth Brother had long understood his father's thoughts.
It was worth it. If Zhu Biao thought further into the past, when his father named Liu Bowen Uncle Sincerity,
Perhaps it was a warning.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, only to find that the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth had already curled up slightly.
Clearly, the words "sincerity" had already expressed Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
"If an Earl of Sincerity who lacks sincerity enters the Ministry of Central Affairs as Prime Minister, will he follow His Majesty's wishes and become the person to contend against Li Shan Chang?”
"It is still unknown whether he will join forces with Li Shan Zhang to restrain His Majesty!“
"Just like yesterday in the imperial court!”
As soon as Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, Zhu Biao's face darkened.
Old Fifth's words seemed to make sense.
Yesterday, the court was full of civil and military officials confronting the emperor. Liu Ji was just a censor.
However, if both the Left and Right Ministers of the Ministry of Central Affairs stood on the opposite side of the Emperor in the court,
That was another situation.
However, that didn't seem right.
The Crown Prince seemed to have caught a flaw in Zhu Rong's logic.
Before he could say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang helped him ask,
"Fifth Brother's wife, you're wrong. If I don't choose Liu Ji, I'll choose Hu Weiyong!”
"That Hu Weiyong is from Huaixi, and he's in the same boat as Li Shan Chang!”
"According to what you said, I might as well choose Liu Ji!”
Xu Miaoyun knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask her this question.
He bowed and replied,"
"Miao Yun once asked husband about this question, and husband said that Li Shan Zhang's position won't last long!”
"The day Hu Weiyong becomes the Right Prime Minister is the day Li Shanzhang resigns."
"What?!"
Such disgraceful words came out of Xu Miaoyun's mouth.
For the first time, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother, Xu Da could guess what happened to Liu Ji.
Making Li Shan Chang resign was a secret that Zhu Yuanzhang had never revealed to anyone.
However, this secret had been exposed by Xu Miaoyun, or rather, the fifth brother behind her.
Emperor Zhu glared at Xu Miaoyun."
"Did Old Fifth say why?”
"Dao War!"
Xu Miaoyun's answer was baffling.
