Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 265 Hu Weiyong's plan, Zhu Liangzu makes another move

Yongjiahou Mansion.

Zhu Liangzu has been very quiet these days, but in fact he is very anxious.

Because he was not among the members of the Northern Expedition this time.

Zhu Liangzu's current status is already quite high. The founding of the country was promoted by Cheng Xuanli Wuchen, Ronglu doctor, Zhuguo, Feng Yongjiahou, Shilu [-] shi, was awarded iron coupons, and hereditary descendants.

Among the 34 heroes, Zhu Liangzu still ranked 27th.

Although it is a rear position, it is already quite good.

After all, Zhu Liangzu played for the Yuan Dynasty in his early years and fought against Zhu Yuanzhang many times.

There is always a difference between those who surrender and those who follow from the beginning.

Just like Liu Bowen, if he had been following Zhu Yuanzhang from the beginning, instead of joining halfway, he would not have only been awarded the title of sincere uncle.

Now the Northern Expedition is the first major event of Ming Dynasty, and it goes without saying that the military strength of Ming Dynasty is compared with that of Bei Yuan.

As long as you go out to fight, you must have a great contribution.

Therefore, all generals who are not in the expedition quota are not very happy in their hearts.

Military generals are not civil servants, and they can gain credit and Zhu Yuanzhang's attention by offering advice and suggestions all day long.

Without military achievements, everything is empty.

Zhu Liangzu originally had a strong sense of crisis about his status, and this was the reason why he always wanted to hug Li Shanchang's thigh.

But Li Shanchang ignored him, only Hu Weiyong walked closer to him.

Nothing happened now, it was too peaceful, but for Zhu Liangzu, it was suffering.

In the hall, Zhu Liangzu kept pacing back and forth, his face full of doubts and anxiety.

What is the situation between Su Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang?

Ever since the appointment of Su Shi's Uncle Ren Yuan, there has been no further action.

Su Jing seemed to be forgotten by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he never mentioned it again in the court.

Not only Zhu Liangzu, but almost all civil and military officials were puzzled by such a thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang took so much effort to make Su Jing the Renyuan Bo, everyone can feel Zhu Yuanzhang's ardent hope for Su Jing.

But it's so strange that there is no movement now.

This is like fishing. After the fishing position is found, the preparations such as making a nest and rubbing bait are all ready, but in the end, it is standing by the water and unable to release the rod.

All officials are guessing what kind of medicine Zhu Yuanzhang sells in his gourd.

For generals like Zhu Liangzu, this kind of thing is even more difficult.

"Master Hou, Hu Zuocheng is asking to see you."

At this moment the butler's voice sounded.

Zhu Liangzu immediately said: "Please!"

Regarding his own brain, Zhu Liangzu's cognition is still very accurate, which is not what he is good at.

Soon, Hu Weiyong came to Zhu Liangzu.

"Hello, Marquis Yongjia."

When Hu Weiyong saw Zhu Liangzu, he immediately said with a smile.

"Hu Zuocheng is good. He has been promoted again. I really envy you civil servants. You only need to write a letter from the rear. If we generals don't fight, then we have no credit."

Zhu Liangzu complained.

What he said was really outspoken.

Hu Weiyong is in an alliance with him now, and he still complains like this in front of his allies, without considering Hu Weiyong's mood at all.

Hu Weiyong's face remained normal and he said: "The Marquis of Yongjia was joking, the civil servants talked too much, that's all. There is no such thing as you generals who went out to fight, and your fame is praised by thousands of people."

"Hu Zuocheng's words are reasonable. A civil official who just says nothing but doesn't act will definitely be inferior to a general in the eyes of future generations."

Zhu Liangzu showed a look of pride on his face, and he was quite receptive to Hu Weiyong's compliment.

A cold look flashed across Hu Weiyong's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

A guy like Zhu Liangzu is too stupid.

However, although the words are not pleasant, it is easy to see through his mind, so don't worry about him calculating himself.

"Yongjiahou, let's talk about the things you care about."

Hu Weiyong brought the topic back.

Zhu Liangzu immediately said: "Yes! What is His Majesty's attitude towards Su Jing? Hu Zuocheng, help me analyze it."

really!

Hu Weiyong was not surprised, Zhu Liangzu's thoughts were almost as written on his face.

"Yongjiahou, this matter is actually very simple."

Hu Weiyong said lightly.

Zhu Liangzu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Hu Zuocheng is still the best, what's going on?"

Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "Your Majesty's love for Uncle Renyuan, I believe the Marquis of Yongjia must be able to see it, and all the civil and military officials in the court can also see it. Your Majesty has great expectations for Uncle Renyuan."

"and many more!"

As soon as Hu Weiyong started to speak, Zhu Liangzu interrupted him.

"What's the matter, Marquis Yongjia?"

Hu Weiyong was a little puzzled.

Zhu Liangzu said: "Hu Zuocheng, you say that Su Jing is just Su Jing, what is he called Ren Yuanbo? Isn't this to increase the ambition of others and not have his own prestige?"

This……

Hu Weiyong didn't expect that Zhu Liangzu would care about such a little thing.

This kid, his hostility towards Su Jing has really reached a certain level.

If Su Jing really becomes an official in the future and squeezes the Huaixi Group's court position a little bit, then there will probably be more people frying pots by then.

"Marquis Yongjia's words are wrong. Uncle Renyuan was granted by His Majesty. Even if His Majesty is not here, we should follow His Majesty's will. What do you think?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Liangzu with a smile and said.

Regarding the words of Li Shanchang and Zhu Liangzu, Hu Weiyong chose to listen to Li Shanchang without any surprise.

Always pay attention to your own words and deeds. If you should call Renyuan Bo, that is Renyuan Bo.

That was announced by Zhu Yuanzhang himself in front of civil and military officials in the early court. Can you still deny it?

Zhu Liangzu's face was a bit ugly, Zhu Yuanzhang must not be violated, but Su Jing is also really annoying.

"Okay, then you call yours, and I call mine."

Zhu Liangzu compromised a little.

From his point of view, he is the Marquis of Yongjia, that is the Marquis, and Su Jing is just the Earl, so there is nothing wrong with calling him by his name.

Of course, this is the case where only titles are considered.

Hu Weiyong nodded, he knew that he could not restrain Zhu Liangzu's words and deeds, so there was no need to be entangled.

"Let's talk about Uncle Renyuan again. The current Uncle Renyuan is staying in Yingtian Mansion, and His Majesty has not given him any position. In theory, he is nothing but an earl."

Hu Weiyong said indifferently: "But Your Majesty has never been a person who is aimless, so I speculate that Your Majesty has a very important responsibility, and I want Ren Yuanbo to undertake it, and now it is just slowly."

Not to mention, Hu Weiyong's idea is really the current idea of ​​Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take the initiative to slow down the matter, but Su Jing's helpless act of not cooperating.

"what!"

Hearing this, Zhu Liangzu was shocked and said: "You said that His Majesty will give Su Jing a bigger position? In this court, what other position can belong to Su Jing?"

In Zhu Liangzu's view, the title of Uncle Renyuan is already a huge threat.

This will continue to give positions, Su Jing has received too many gifts, isn't it?

The higher Su Jing's position is, the more things he can intervene in the court.

Then their Huaixi Group's sphere of influence will inevitably shrink.

And Zhu Liangzu said he was the Marquis of Yongjia, but he was not actually a member of the Huaixi Group whose roots were upright and Miaohong.

Zhu Liangzu is in a hurry about this matter!

Hu Weiyong said: "Don't worry, Marquis Yongjia. This matter is just my speculation. Everything has to wait for His Majesty's meaning. It's still early, and everything is possible."

Zhu Liangzu frowned and said: "Hu Zuocheng, you should make your words clearer. What is it possible? What else can I do? Will His Majesty's attitude towards Su Jing change?"

For Zhu Liangzu's straightforward personality, Hu Weiyong's meandering way of speaking is obviously not applicable.

He looked at Zhu Liangzu and said: "Marquis Yongjia, the princes have been receiving instruction from Su Jing recently. After King Qin came back, he published a message in Min Bao soon. I wonder if Marquis Yongjia has read it?"

People's Daily?

Zhu Liangzu frowned and said, "Hu Zuocheng, I'm not interested in reading this public newspaper, you'd better just say it."

Don't read the newspaper?
Hu Weiyong was really a little surprised. Since the Minbao appeared, all civil and military officials have paid considerable attention to it, and there have been quarrels before.

How can the Great Ming Dynasty gain a firm foothold?

The best thing to do is to know everything so you can prepare ahead of time.

The People's Daily is a good channel for getting information.

This Zhu Liangzu didn't even have this bit of political sensitivity, that is, he knew how to fight, and that's why he got to his current position.

If he really plays court politics, he is really too weak.

"It's like this. King Qin is going to start a soap business. If my guess is right, it should be taught by Uncle Ren Yuan. After all, Uncle Ren Yuan is a businessman himself."

Hu Weiyong spoke directly to Zhu Liangzu.

King Qin's soap business was taught by Su Jing.

Zhu Liangzu always understood now.

"Hu Zuocheng, what do you mean, as long as King Qin's business can't be done, then His Majesty will have a bad opinion of Su Jing?"

At least Zhu Liangzu came to his senses, which made Hu Weiyong heave a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to explain himself.

Hu Weiyong said: "You can't say that. The Marquis of Yongjia heard the crown prince count the merits of Uncle Renyuan in court. It is definitely impossible for His Majesty to change his opinion of Uncle Renyuan."

"Then Hu Zuocheng, why are you still telling me this? It's useless, I did it and it's still useless!"

Zhu Liangzu looked at Hu Weiyong, not so happy.

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Marquis Yongjia, don't worry, this one thing is not enough, but as long as there are enough things, His Majesty's view of Su Jing will change little by little. Now, the relationship between us and Uncle Ren Yuan is not overnight. In the future, there will be more opportunities in the court."

Zhu Liangzu was really in a hurry.

After that assassination failed, Hu Weiyong realized that dealing with Su Shi was already a long-term plan.

But Zhu Liangzu obviously didn't realize it.

"Hu Zuocheng, is there no way to hurry up?"

Zhu Liangzu looked at Hu Weiyong and asked.

Hu Weiyong shook his head and said: "Unless the Marquis of Yongjia is willing to sacrifice his own glory and wealth, and exchange one with Ren Yuanbo, I can't think of any way."

Hearing this, Zhu Liangzu was shocked.

Just kidding, the reason why he wants to deal with Su Jing is to keep his own status and interests from being damaged.

The current prosperity and wealth are all due to his fighting on the battlefield. It's not worth exchanging with Su Jing for one.

"Let's go slower."

Zhu Liangzu felt sorry for him.

Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Liangzu, and he didn't really want Zhu Liangzu to change.

He really listened to Li Shanchang's words.

Above the court, one family cannot be the only one. If he becomes the prime minister in the future, he must have an opponent so that Zhu Yuanzhang can rest assured.

But Hu Weiyong didn't want this opponent to be too strong, he had to be within his controllable level.

The current Su Jing is just too strong.

Or rather, it's perfect.

In the court that time, Crown Prince Zhu Biao gave Su Jinglun credit for his meritorious service, which really shocked all civil and military officials.

Su Jing's contribution to Daming is so great. There is really nothing to criticize for this credit.

Su Jing like this may become a stronger existence than Liu Bowen in the future, so it will be difficult to deal with him.

"Hu Zuocheng, what should I do now? His Royal Highness King Qin is doing business, so I can't do any tricks in private, right?"

Zhu Liangzu turned to Hu Weiyong and asked: "I can't do business without making petty tricks."

The purpose now is to disrupt the business of Qin Wang Zhu Xi.

But Zhu Xi is not an ordinary person. He is Zhu Yuanzhang's own son. There is nothing wrong with normal business behavior. If he engages in some illegal means, it is death.

Zhu Liangzu is very rampant, but he is not to the extent that he has no prince in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Marquis Yongjia, I have made a plan for this matter, you just need to do what I say."

Hu Weiyong said lightly.

The reason why he came here was to tell Zhu Liangzu about it.

With Zhu Liangzu's mind that knows how to fight, it's really embarrassing for him to do business.

"It turns out that Hu Zuocheng has a plan long ago, tell me quickly and let me hear it!"

Zhu Liangzu's expression brightened, and he asked excitedly.

Hu Weiyong immediately told Zhu Liangzu about his plan, the content was detailed, the details were rich, and the purpose was very clear.

He doesn't want to make money for himself, but only wants Zhu Xi's business to lose money.

Although Hu Weiyong has never done business, he still has a brain, and his ability to do bad things is particularly strong.

"Oh oh oh, I understand, Hu Zuocheng's plan is very clever, even if His Majesty knows it, there is no need to worry about it, I admire it!"

After hearing Hu Weiyong's plan, Zhu Liangzu was quite excited.

He seemed to have seen the scene of Zhu Yu's business failure, and at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Su Jing would definitely become worse!

Hu Weiyong was still not at ease, and said: "Yongjiahou, remember, this is a legitimate business competition, and you must not do anything that is not visible, understand!"

Zhu Liangzu's character is always a bomb.

But Hu Weiyong currently has no useful candidates.

After all, he is not the prime minister yet, so he has to keep his tail between his legs and keep a low profile.

Zhu Liangzu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry Hu Zuocheng, I still understand this."
