Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 182 You Are Really Going To Be Confused

In fact, Zhu Qi didn't take Hu Weiyong's matter to heart. After all, this person is so arrogant, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely deal with him in the end, and his end is inevitable.

The reason why he didn't deal with him himself was because Hu Weiyong didn't actually do anything to endanger the people.

On the contrary, he did a pretty good job in his job position, and handled the affairs in an orderly manner, but the only mistake was that he didn't see the form clearly, which threatened Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power.

Threatening core rights at any time is absolutely not allowed, especially if the target is Zhu Yuanzhang.

To put it simply, when Zhu Qi looked at Hu Weiyong, it was as if he was selling his first bid.

If he got serious, Zhu Qi could arrange Jin Yiwei to arrest Hu Weiyong and his gang of officials.

Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some crimes out of thin air.

But this is a matter of party struggle, and Zhu Qi doesn't like to participate in these political matters.

He still likes to walk around, play, and spend time with his family when he has nothing to do. Salted fish is what he likes to do.

But he himself feels like a salty fish here, and those people in the officialdom don't think so.

Needless to say, those officials who were under Hu Weiyong, seeing such a senior official as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were all pulled off their horses by His Royal Highness Liao Wang three or five times.

Not only that, but also almost dragged Prime Minister Hu down.

If Prime Minister Hu hadn't kept himself clean, he might have been interrogated in Jinyiwei's prison by now.

Although they were bragging about Prime Minister Hu's power and incorruptibility, they were secretly startled in their hearts.

Going against Jin Yiwei really has no good end.

As for the rest of the officials who didn't want to be friends with Hu Weiyong, they naturally applauded secretly in their hearts, and at the same time, their favorability for His Royal Highness Liao Wang was soaring!

Among them is Xu Da.

General Xu Dawei is also one of the few people who understand, so naturally he didn't get involved in the struggle between civil servants from the beginning to the end.

Even the military officers seldom developed some personal relationships. Except for the brotherly relationship with Tang and Zhu Yuanzhang, they didn't have much contact with other officials at all, and they didn't even eat meals together.

Among them was Li Shanchang, once the head of the hundred officials.

In the past, when the officials were busy trying to curry favor with Li Shanchang, Xu Da didn't even say a word, and Xu Da didn't even go to Li Shanchang's house even for dinner.

This time, Li Shanchang got married and married a girl in her 20s. Xu Da didn't even show up at all, and didn't even send a congratulatory gift.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is naturally Xu Da's rudeness. After all, he and Li Shanchang were comrades in arms who fought side by side before, and they were also the founding fathers of the older generation.

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this is Xu Da's act of showing his loyalty.

This Xu Da didn't like Hu Weiyong a long time ago, and his behavior of grabbing power by his side was even more incompatible with him.

Now that Hu Weiyong was deflated in the hands of Liao King Zhu Qi, he was naturally happy, needless to say.

Although Xu Da didn't come and go with other officials and ministers, he still had a very close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, including Zhu Di and Prince Zhu Biao, who were all Xu Da's disciples.

And Zhu Qi even learned the art of war from Xu Da. People outside said that Zhu Qi had won Xu Da's true biography. The most important thing is that this is his father-in-law!

So after Xu Da heard about this, he asked Zhu Qi to eat and drink at his house immediately.

If someone else entertained him, Zhu Qi really might not be willing to go.

But Xu Da, a famous general through the ages, is also his father-in-law, so he must be honored, so he immediately went to Xu Da's mansion with a gift.

He drank for two hours that night, and he forgot how Zhu Qi came back in the end.

I remember that when I woke up, I was already in the palace, and Xu Miaoyun was still frowning and muttering.

"My dad is really too, how can he drink like this!"

Seeing the atmosphere, Zhu Qi still decided to continue sleeping, so as not to be blamed by Xu Miaoyun after getting up.

And those officials who were originally under Hu Weiyong's command were very angry, and many of them even planned to impeach His Highness King Liao.

As for the content of the impeachment, it is actually not an important matter, and some corners and corners can always be found.

After all, His Royal Highness King Liao was doing business in the capital, so it was inevitable that he would have some conflicts with others.

However, these people hadn't had time to impeach them. When they heard that General Xu Da invited His Royal Highness Liao Wang to dinner, they realized that this Liao Wang Zhu Qi was Xu Da's son-in-law!

Who is this Xu Da?Now is the most critical time for the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Not to mention that Xu Da is the backbone of the generals, Zhu Yuanzhang has high hopes for Xu Da.

And His Royal Highness King Liao and these princes will be King Sai in the future. What is King Sai?That is the princes who hold real power!
It is really impossible to impeach His Highness King Liao if he wants to do trivial things.

And if it is the other princes, impeaching them to disgust them, making them unable to eat well or sleep well, I would be happier in my heart.

But if you offend His Highness the Liao King, the Liao King will be unhappy and ask Jin Yiwei to investigate him carefully, even if his ass is clean, what will you do if someone smears mud on your body?

Thinking of this, the officials who were planning to form a group to impeach His Highness King Liao suddenly fell silent.

As for Hu Weiyong, he also restrained himself a lot. After seeing the ability of His Royal Highness King Liao, what can he do if he doesn't restrain himself?

And Hu Weiyong also thought that as long as the Liao King ruled Liaodong, he would have plenty of opportunities to gain power.

It's just that His Royal Highness King Liao clearly wanted to protect Liu Bowen, which inevitably made Hu Weiyong feel extremely troublesome.

Zhu Qi is not sensitive to these things in the officialdom, but Liu Bowen is very aware of the changes that are taking place in the officialdom.

His Royal Highness King Liao has become a third force independent of the emperor and Hu Weiyong's party.

Not only the generals who fought with His Royal Highness King Liao supported His Royal Highness Liao King, but also had many capable ministers under his command, such as Zheng Shiyuan, and Daotong, an upright official who has recently made a splash.

Those are all standing firmly on His Royal Highness Liao Wang, not to mention the people around him.

In the entire Imperial College, there are only students who have studied psychology and mathematics.They all claim to be disciples of the king of Liao.

They were not Hu Weiyong's disciples. After these people took the imperial examination and became officials, His Royal Highness King Liao was their teacher.

When you talk about officialdom, can they deal with their teachers?
This Hu Weiyong may not necessarily be able to command the new generation of Guozijian students.

And His Royal Highness Liao Wang is so powerful, some people may say that the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang must be on guard against His Royal Highness Liao Wang!

If this is the emperor of other dynasties, it may be true.

But it will be different if it is Zhu Yuanzhang. Let alone the position of the prince Zhu Biao is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no way to shake it.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in his sons is also the highest in history, which has never been seen throughout the ages.

Even the enfeoffment system, which had disappeared since the Qin and Han Dynasties, has now reappeared in the form of King Sai in the Ming Dynasty.

It is conceivable how much Zhu Yuanzhang trusted his sons.

As for the capable son, that is naturally the most trustworthy.

For example, Zhu Qi is the most outstanding among these sons. In the past, everyone may have thought that he was slightly inferior to the prince Zhu Biao.

But now Liao King Zhu Qi has too many auras and legends to count. No one thinks that Liao King will be worse than Prince Zhu Biao.

Some people even discussed in private that if there was no prince Zhu Biao, His Royal Highness King Liao might become the new prince.

As for this point, Zhu Qi didn't think much about it, while Liu Bowen saw it thoroughly, but other people were not as smart as Liu Bowen and could see it thoroughly.

Lu Chang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is a well-known admonisher, and his reading is not particularly thorough.

But whenever there is something that he can't see through, or something that he thinks has a big hidden danger, he will take the initiative to bring it up.

For example, when Li Shanchang's official position was too high and the prime minister had too much power, he had repeatedly mentioned that the emperor should cut Li Shanchang's title and official position, etc., but Zhu Yuanzhang did not adopt his opinion.

As for Hu Weiyong, Lu Chang also sang against him more than once.

Hu Weiyong also gave him many small shoes, but Lu Chang was able to continue to be his Minister of Rites.

It is conceivable that Zhu Yuanzhang also understood in his heart that this Lu Chang was a rare loyal minister, so naturally he would not really do anything to him.

But Lu Chang saw that His Royal Highness Liao Wang was getting more and more famous in the officialdom, and even had a direct conflict with Hu Weiyong. Although he was not from Hu Weiyong's side, he also had many conflicts with Hu Weiyong, and they were unhappy with each other.

But the conflict between civil servants and civil servants is one thing, and the prince's intervention in the officialdom is another matter.

As a prince, how can he casually intervene in the officialdom?

This future world still belongs to Prince Zhu Biao!

Are there still fewer tragedies caused by the princes of the past dynasties who were too capable?
Such things as Li Shimin's seizing the heir, killing brothers and imprisoning fathers can be done, so should it be staged again in Daming?

Of course, such words must not be said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Lu Chang likes to speak bluntly and advise, he is not without brains, and his mouth is full of spouts.

He directly told Zhu Yuanzhang that His Royal Highness King Liao was 20 years old, and the land in Liaodong had already been laid down.

If this is the case, then it should be arranged for His Royal Highness King Liao to come to the fief as soon as possible to become a vassal!
Lu Chang's statement won the support of many people in the court, and the people on Hu Weiyong's side were also impressed. It is really a good idea to get His Royal Highness King Liao to Liaodong.

A group of people followed suit and asked the king of Liao to go to Liaodong as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, he only said that he would think about it more, and then let these people go back.

After Zhu Qi heard about this from other sources, his scalp was also numb. Hu Weiyong naturally wanted to drive him to Liaodong, so that he could be a domineering official, and no one could do anything to him.

The idea is very good, but with Jin Yiwei, Hu Weiyong's crimes will only increase, and in the end it will exceed Zhu Yuanzhang's tolerance limit, and it will be his death.

As for Lu Chang's side, Zhu Qi knew about it. According to Lu Chang's evaluation in history, this person was a ruthless person who didn't even want his life for the sake of blunt advice.

And it is true that he is wholeheartedly for the country, most likely because he feels that the king of Liao has been too active recently, and he may have the intention of seizing the heir, so he wants to get himself away quickly, so as not to cause chaos in the country!
It's good to start, but Zhu Qi doesn't want to go to Liaodong so early. The weather in Yingtianfu is warm and the quality of life is very high. The most important thing is safety, and there is no danger of war.

When it comes to Liaodong, it's different. It's really the place of the Four World Wars.

Now that Lan Yu and the others are fighting in Liaodong, Zhu Qi doesn't want to go there anymore. If he is appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang to be some kind of commander-in-chief to lead the overall situation in the past, he will be in trouble.

However, Zhu Qi could not decide whether to go to Liaodong or not. It was still a matter for Zhu Yuanzhang to consider.

But what should come will always come, and there is no way to avoid it. Zhu Yuanzhang quickly made a decision to let Zhu Qi set off in March and turn over when he went to Liaodong.

After Zhu Qi heard the news, he also looked disappointed. It seems that he is going to Liaodong now, let's go to Liaodong to develop and develop farming.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly received another message.

That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang also went to Liaodong with Zhu Qi, mainly to inspect the situation in Liaodong. The emperor went to the front line, so naturally he needed someone to supervise the country.

It is not the first time that Prince Zhu Biao has supervised the country, but Prince Zhu Biao is not experienced after all.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would arrange for Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others to assist the prince Zhu Biao every time he supervised the country.

But now, Li Shanchang has retired and returned to his hometown, and Liu Bowen is already very old.

And his health is not very good. He has been complaining of illness some time ago. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang invited him, Liu Bowen did not leave the mountain and continued to be an official.

If it wasn't for Zhu Qi's face, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang would have already punished Liu Bowen.

Both Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang couldn't be counted on, and the officials naturally thought that it was Hu Weiyong, and Prime Minister Hu came to assist the prince Zhu Biao to supervise the country.

But what the officials didn't expect was that the emperor's next order made everyone dumbfounded.

This time the emperor not only wanted to go to Liaodong by himself, but also ordered the prince Zhu Biao to go to Fengyang to worship his ancestors.

Worshiping ancestors is not something that can be returned on the same day in the past. There are various ceremonies over there, bathing and fasting for several days, it is a mess, and it will take more than a month to return to Yingying Heaven is here.

Some officials said, the emperor is not in Yingtian Mansion, and the crown prince is not in Yingtian Mansion, how can this work?Also ask the emperor to think about it!

However, what Zhu Yuanzhang decides can be changed by outsiders at will?
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go to Liaodong to inspect the situation. This was an urgent military situation that could not be delayed, and it was also an urgent matter that could not be delayed.

Now that things have all rushed together, it is enough to arrange another person to preside over the government.

Everyone was wondering, the emperor and the crown prince are no longer in Yingtian Mansion, so who can still preside over the government?
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: Hu Weiyong, Prime Minister Hu.

Most of those officials were Hu Weiyong's cronies, so naturally they would not speak ironically, but nodded their heads one by one.

As for those who opposed Hu Weiyong, they were not taken seriously by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hu Weiyong, needless to say over there, cried so much on the spot, knelt on the ground and said that he was going to die utterly, and then he died, and so on.

To be able to let a minister preside over the government, what is this?This is the great trust in Hu Weiyong, everyone thinks so in their hearts.

Only Zhu Qi, after hearing this, laughed heartily.

This Hu Weiyong, I'm afraid he's really going to be gutted.
