“Who did you listen to? Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

Li Shanchang was stunned:”Yes, it’s your personal eunuch Wang Fu.”……”

“Drive this person to the clothing bureau and never use him again.”Zhu Yuanzhang said

“Superior position……”Li Shanchang was suddenly shocked and a little at a loss.

“Our eunuch actually tipped you off. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and sneered:”You are very well-informed.””

“The minister is terrified!

Li Shanchang hurriedly knelt on the ground, with a look of panic on his face:”I don’t dare to spy on the news about the harem. I really only heard about it accidentally.” Zhu

Yuanzhang stared at him for a while and said calmly:”We heard something interesting today and want to tell you about it.””

“Today, when we went to Zhu Heng’s place, some people said that he was exploiting the people. Do you think it’s funny or not?”

“Is this happening? Zhu Heng has offered advice to the country many times. He is a national scholar, how could he do such a thing! Li Shanchang immediately said angrily:”Wei Chen will go and investigate those who spread rumors and find out the matter.””

“That’s no need……”Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said:”Bring the things up!”

A eunuch held a tray in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward. When he opened the tray, he found a potato.

Under Li Shanchang’s doubtful gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly:”This is a new grain found by Zhu Heng, called potatoes.””

“The yield per mu was 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms. Zhu Heng’s tenants grew this new grain, but the rent they received was less than 10%.”

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang casually threw the potato to Li Shanchang.

When Li Shanchang heard this, he suddenly expressed ecstasy and said,”Congratulations to the superior, this potato is the auspiciousness of the Ming Dynasty given to me by God!”

“If our Ming Dynasty gets this food, the people will no longer have to go hungry!”

“It’s not God-given. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said,”It was given by Zhu Heng.””

“That’s what the superior said! Li Shanchang nodded quickly, but then said with a serious expression:”Someone dares to spread rumors about Zhu Heng and exploit the people. This person is extremely evil. If you are in charge, please leave this matter to me. I will definitely get to the bottom of it.””

“That’s not necessary.”Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly:”We have checked clearly.”

“Bring people up!”

Suddenly there were several guards outside, escorting a few people in.

They were the little officials who were causing trouble for Zhu Heng!

At this moment, these little officials had been tortured, and it was so terrible. As soon as they came in, they knelt on the ground, trembling, and said He couldn’t even tell.

Li Shanchang’s body froze, and his hands in his sleeves grasped the potato tightly, as if he wanted to crush it.

“Just a low-level official. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him deeply:”You, the prime minister, definitely don’t know you, and they won’t know you either.””

“We didn’t expect that the people who made things difficult for Zhu Heng were actually people from the imperial court!”

“Zhu Heng was loyal to the country, but the court stabbed him in the back. Tell me, is this ridiculous?

Li Shanchang knelt down and kowtowed:”This is all because of the lax control of the ministers!” Weichen is willing to take responsibility for this!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his gray-haired appearance and sighed:”Shan Chang, how many years have you been with us?””

“Reporting back to the superior, it has been twenty-six years……”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:”Our group of old brothers are dead and injured, and there are not many left alive until now. It is not easy for you to make it this far. We also want to see you safe.” It’s just a pity to spend your old age. People always do stupid things when they get old.……”

“We all rely on our superiors to be where we are today!”Li Shanchang said immediately, and then took out a brocade box that Sui Sen brought.

After opening the brocade box

, what was wrapped in the silk and satin was a gold book and an iron coupon.

“The minister has received too much honor and favor, but he is ignorant and incompetent in politics. The minister begs to be superior to take back the gold book and iron certificate. Zhu

Yuanzhang smiled lightly:”Actually, you are not incompetent, you are just old.”

Li Shanchang’s body trembled.

Then he lowered his head deeply and said,”Yes, I am an old minister. In recent years, I have often felt that I am not able to do what I want.””

“The minister requested that the prime minister’s position be given up so that a capable person could occupy it.”

“Yeah? Zhu Yuanzhang fiddled with the tea cup and said casually:”Is your son still an official in the court? I heard that he embezzled some money?” Li

Shanchang’s body trembled, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a begging look on his face:”The superior position, for the sake of Wei Chen these years.””

Zhu Yuanzhang’s expression did not change.

Li Shanchang looked sad and looked at Queen Ma again:”Mother, Li Qi is still young. He is the only son of an old minister.

Empress Ma just stared at him coldly and said,”I treat Zhu Heng the same as I treat my own son!””

Li Shanchang’s body was trembling, and his heart was in despair:”Wei Chen……”

“That’s all. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said lightly:”Li Qi is dismissed and goes home to study and nourish his mind.””

“you’re old”

“The position of prime minister is handed over to Hu Weiyong. Recently, many nobles in Huaixi have committed crimes, so let him investigate. Li

Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and then said with tears of gratitude:”Thank you, my dear sir!”

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly:”Go ahead.””

“Thank you for your help.”

Li Shanchang responded quickly and went out.

But after he left,

Zhu Di said angrily:”This old dog dares to attack my eldest brother. Father, I just want to be his prime minister and take advantage of him. What do you do to him? Isn’t that a little too kind?

Zhu Biao frowned and said,”Don’t talk nonsense!””

“After all, Li Shanchang deserved the credit for his hard work. His father personally said that he was Xiao He of the Ming Dynasty.”

“He is also the leader of the Huaixi Xungui Group. Letting him live can also stabilize people’s hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said with appreciation:”Biao’er has made great progress. After all, these old people have shed blood for the Ming Dynasty. Killing them all is a bit too much.””

“So you let Hu Weiyong deal with Huaixi nobles by himself? Zhu Biao immediately understood, but he was a little confused and said:”If he goes to deal with his own people, won’t he protect him?””
