If you want King Qiong to return to the capital, I have a plan!
After having lunch with Princess Yan, Zhu Di prepared some gifts.
He set off for Prime Minister Li Shan Chang's residence.
Outside the red door, two stone lions crouched on both sides.
Zhu Di knocked on the door.
The red door slowly opened. The servant guarding the door poked his head out. Seeing that it was Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, he immediately welcomed him in.
The butler of the Prime Minister's Estate settled Zhu Di down in the living room to drink tea, then respectfully said,""Your Highness, please wait a moment. This lowly one will inform the Prime Minister.”
In a short while, it passed
Lee Shan Chang, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked over with a smile.
"Prince Yan, please forgive me for not welcoming you!”
Hearing the voice behind him, Prince of Yan Zhu Di immediately stood up and bowed to Li Shan Zhang." I'm sorry for disturbing you."”
Li Shan Chang returned the greeting with a smile and invited the King of Yan to take a seat.
"The King of Yan has graced my humble abode with his presence.”
Li Shan Chang gestured for Zhu Di to drink some tea and continued,""May I know what instructions the King of Yan has for me?”
"I do have a request for you," Zhu Di said with a smile.”
"Oh?"
"Junior wishes to seek a foolproof method for Xiang King Zhu Bai.”
Lee Shan Chang was clear in his heart, but he pretended to be confused."Your Highness, what do you mean?"
" I believe Prime Minister Li also knows that the Xiang King has secretly brought 3,000 elites south with a large amount of money..."
Zhu Di said in detail," Such actions will inevitably attract gossip.”
"Your Highness, do you mean to ask if there is a way to solve this problem?”
Left Prime Minister Lee Shan Chang continued,""I wonder who slandered the Xiang King?”
At the mention of this person, Zhu Di's expression was obviously ugly. He said unhappily,"It's the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Huizu!"
Li Shanzhang, who was sitting opposite Zhu Di, stroked his long beard and said calmly,""This sentence is not strange. Xu Huizu has a straightforward personality, so it is inevitable that he would consider this.”
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, said anxiously," The Prince of Xiang has only been in Qiongzhou for a short time. There are already such rumors in the court. If it drags on, then…"
Zhu Di didn't finish his sentence.
Instead, he paused for a moment and continued,"I came here to ask Prime Minister Li how to stop the ministers from talking.”
"You want to shut everyone up?”
Lee Shan Chang looked at Zhu Di with a pair of hale and hearty eyes.
Prince Zhu Di of Yan nodded slightly." Please point out the way, Prime Minister Li."”
Left Prime Minister Li Shanzhang smiled and shook his head.""How can you shut your mouth? Does Your Highness not know that three people can become a tiger?”
Without waiting for Prince of Yan Zhu Di's reply, Li Shan Chang continued,""Regarding this matter, Your Highness can rest assured.”
"I've followed the higher-ups for more than ten years. I've fought all over the world. I understand the higher-ups 'temperament very well.”
Zhu Di sat up straight, looked at Li Shan Chang, and listened carefully.
"The higher-ups have always known how to use people well, but they are suspicious and cautious. If it was an ordinary official, such actions would be a huge disaster.”
Upon hearing this, Prince Yan Zhu Di's expression tensed up and he continued to ask,""Then what should Twelfth Brother do?"
Left Prime Minister Lee Shan Chang picked up the tea beside him and took a sip. He continued to stroke his long beard and said,"If it was His Highness Xiang Wang, then everything would be fine.”
"How so?"
"Those in a higher position value relationships, especially blood and flesh!”
At this point, Left Prime Minister Lee Shan Chang said seriously,""Unless there is conclusive evidence, the higher-ups will not make a move against Prince Xiang.”
at this time
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, looked a little anxious." What if someone in the court slandered us?”
"If someone slandered Twelfth Brother for having an army and trying to rebel, how would we explain this?”
As he spoke, Zhu Di straightened his back even more.
He almost stood up.
Looking at the excited Prince of Yan Zhu Di, the Left Prime Minister Li Shanchang became even more indifferent. He asked calmly,""Dare I ask your highness, wearing shoes in the melon field and taking off your hat under the plum tree, how can you not be criticized by others?”
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, picked up the teacup at the side and took a big gulp. He continued to ask,""This is also what this king is afraid of! I wonder if Prime Minister Li has a solution?”
"The method is very simple!"
Lee Shan Chang smiled as he sipped his tea. After taking a sip, he continued,"I wonder if Your Highness King Qiong is willing?”
Prince Zhu Di of Yan frowned slightly, but the expression on his face had obviously eased up a lot." Prime Minister Li, I can go and do some work with King Qiong.”
"Things should be resolved where they happened.”
Lee Shan Chang's tone was still calm as he said,""Why would the Minister of War speculate that King Qiong is plotting a rebellion?”
Zhu Di was stunned." This Prince has never thought about it carefully. This guy has always been on bad terms with this Prince and King Qiong.”
"No, no, no…"
Left Prime Minister Lee Shan Chang put down his teacup and shook his head."It's not that Xu Huizu doesn't get along with the two of you, it's just that the two of you are relatives with him, which caused him to become estranged.”
"Prime Minister, you mean that if this kid wasn't related to us, he wouldn't have participated in this book?”
Li Shan Chang nodded, but then shook his head." Yes, but not entirely. In his position, it's very difficult to be loyal and filial at the same time!”
At the mention of Xu Huizu, the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was displeased. He waved his hand and said,""Let's not talk about him and get back to the main topic.”
"This King remembers!"
Zhu Di slapped his thigh and said in realization,""This brat said that Twelfth Brother secretly mobilized three thousand elites and extorted a large amount of wealth, so he wanted to rebel!”
The servant girl standing behind Li Shan Chang and Zhu Di went forward to pour tea for the two of them.
"Correct!"
Lee Shan Chang held the teacup in his hand and continued,""Actually, when His Highness came, he said that it was very easy to get rid of everyone's mouths.”
"Your Highness only needs to personally write a letter to King Qiong, asking him to return the three thousand elites to the capital and then write a letter to clarify what exactly he has used the silver he brought south.”
"If King Qiong can transfer troops back to the capital and explain where the silver is spent, I think King Qiong can be at ease in Qiongzhou.”
After listening to Left Prime Minister Li Shan Chang's words, Prince of Yan Zhu Di fell into silence.
He could write this letter, but he might not be able to persuade Zhu Bai to send troops back.
Although his 12th brother had been close to him since he was young, he never listened to anyone and always did things his own way.
Looking at the King of Yan, Zhu Di, who was deep in thought, Li Shan Chang, who was a high-ranking official, naturally saw through his thoughts.
"If Your Highness is not confident in persuading King Qiong, I have a plan!”
As Li Shan Zhang spoke, he stroked his long beard and said with a pleasant expression,"I wonder if your highness is willing to use it?”
When the King of Yan, Zhu Di, who was thinking hard, heard this, his eyes immediately lit up." Please teach me, Prime Minister!"”
