The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 174 Master Ye gave Zhu Yuanzhang the armor, Zhu Biao wanted to kill Hu Weiyong, Master Guo turned into General Guo!
After Jiang Yu bid farewell to Zhu Biao, he changed into a folk attire, led the horse and left the palace.

Right after he walked out of Dong'an Gate, the back door of the palace, he immediately felt like he was released from prison.

This feeling has never been felt before, that is, at that moment, after seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's shadow from Zhu Biao's body, this feeling of leaving the palace is like being released from prison.

But this feeling disappeared in an instant, still like a strong illusion!

In the afternoon,

The courier who was in charge of delivering the letter to Li Shanchang walked out of the back door of Hu Weiyong's mansion, first looked at both sides habitually, and found no one, then pressed down the bamboo hat, led the horse, and walked quickly to the street, disappearing into the crowd .

At this moment, Jiang Yu poked his head out from the alley, watched him leave, and then went to the tea shop at the gate of the city.

In his opinion, it is the most appropriate time to follow after drinking tea here.

Anyway, the destination is Li Shanchang's mansion in Haozhou. By doing this, he can ensure that he does not follow too closely, and he will not miss the moment when Li Shanchang opened the envelope at the end.

At the beginning of the day,
The gate of Haozhou City was about to be closed, and the people inside the city waiting to go out, and the people outside the city waiting to return to the city, were all showing their waypoints.

In the line of people entering the city to check the road guides, Hu Weiyong's messenger took out the road guides to be checked, and Jiang Yu also took out the road guides to be checked, and the distance between the two was no more than a dozen people.

After the two entered the city, they did not immediately go to Li Shanchang's house.

Hu Weiyong's courier was very vigilant, and he could be seen as an old hand. He wandered around the city, first found an inn to stay, and then began to eat dinner.

Jiang Yu is not in a hurry, anyway, just follow along.

Finally, the time has come to Haishi in the dead of night!
I only saw two black shadows, like ghosts, going to Li Shanchang's mansion one after another. They are both experts in this field.

In Li Shanchang's study, the white-haired Li Shanchang still lights up the night to work!
He is still working hard for the construction of Haozhou, and he looks like he is still doing his best to share the worries of the king even though he is not in the court.

In fact, he was not acting for anyone to see. Although Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to retire to recuperate, he also asked him to manage Haozhou City and the noble families in the city at the same time.

For these errands on the bright side, he is absolutely meticulous!

Especially after the Haozhou case was exposed by Ye Qing, and after so many noble family members were beheaded for public display, his restraint on them became even stricter.

It is to complete Zhu Yuanzhang's errand, and also to protect the nobles of Huaixi!
If everything is in moderation, we will live in peace with each other, if everything is in excess, then either you or I will die!
What Li Shanchang wants is to have a degree in everything, and the nobles have a degree of greed, so the emperor should naturally have a degree!
"Master, it's getting late."

At this moment, the housekeeper reminded him outside the door.

Li Shanchang just waved his hand, indicating to leave him alone, and continued to work.

The butler was also helpless, he just broke his mouth and said at the same time as he left: "This is also called retirement? They are all gray-haired, and they are still helping His Majesty with errands. Doing things for Emperor Zhu, there is no such thing as retirement, you can do it It's right to die!"

"."

The housekeeper's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Jiang Yu, who was lying on the roof of Li Shanchang's study, to hear it.

It's just that Jiang Yu was not prepared to report the matter, and even felt that what he said was so reasonable.

But as Mao Xiang's master disciple, what he received was the education that "the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, the king wants his ministers to die, and if the ministers don't die, it is because of disloyalty".

He didn't report this matter, except because he felt that what he said made sense, that is, it was not Li Shanchang who said it, but a complaint behind the back of a housekeeper who was not worthy of his report.

Not long after, Jiang Yu saw the steward go and return again, but this time he brought Hu Weiyong's messenger.

Yes,

In order to quickly seize this position without being discovered, Jiang Yu didn't follow the messenger around and came here directly.

Seeing the messenger arrived, Jiang Yu lay down completely on the ground, and gently and slowly pushed the tiles away a little.

in the study,

On the candlestick on the table, on the roof that has only been parted a slit, one eye is watching everything below.

Because the person below is Li Shanchang, the slit that was pulled open is really too thin to be the width of an eye, as wide as the black eyelid is, this slit is as wide as it is.

Under this black eye, Hu Weiyong's messenger presented a letter with both hands.

Li Shanchang sat back at the case desk and slowly opened the wax seal, which was so slow that the messenger was anxious, and Jiang Yu, who was lying on the roof, was also anxious.

Finally, Li Shanchang opened the letter and read it carefully.

The content of the letter: "Your Majesty is thousands of miles away, but he is also planning strategies for the affairs of the court."

"Your Majesty, in order to promote Ye Qing, who didn't take us seriously, and caused heavy losses to the Huaixi brothers with a song, joined hands with His Royal Highness and Xu Da, and played us in the applause."

"."

On the roof, Jiang Yu looked at the process in his heart, and immediately understood how Zhu Yuanzhang played with them. It really made all the smart people in the court be aware of it.

After Jiang Yu saw Zhu Yuanzhang's methods, he immediately remembered Mao Xiang's education to him: "Wearing this official uniform, there is only the sky above our heads, His Majesty the Emperor. Only by always adhering to this belief can we return home when we are old." when. '

The current Jiang Yu can be said to have no doubts about this sentence.

At this very moment,
Li Shanchang, who has always been as stable as Mount Tai, also showed a hint of fear because of the content of the letter.

The content of the letter follows: "Maybe His Majesty is still in Yanmen County and has not returned. If His Majesty is still in Yanmen County, and Ye Qing is self-confident and does not guard, will His Majesty be in danger?"

"When it really comes to that time, what should we do? I also ask the old Xiangguo to show me!"

In the eyes of Hu Weiyong's messenger and Jiang Yu, Li Shanchang's hand suddenly trembled. He took off the lampshade and burned the letter to ashes.

Li Shanchang looked at the messenger, but said in a serious and low voice: "You tell Prime Minister Hu, never ask questions that shouldn't be asked, some questions must be brought into the coffin."

"Before His Majesty comes back, please don't write any more letters to this old man."

"Before His Majesty comes back, if you come to deliver the letter again, the old man will have someone throw you out."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shanchang opened the Haozhou Fish Scale Book again and continued to work hard for the construction of Haozhou City.

Hu Weiyong's messenger didn't understand what the old Xiangguo was doing. After all, he was just a person who relied on his kung fu to make a living. He knew what the emperor had to call "Mr. Li". What was going on in his mind.

"Yes, old Xiangguo!"

Just like that, Hu Weiyong's messenger left through the back door.

At the same time, Jiang Yu merged the tiles lightly and slowly, and after watching the messenger leave, he also disappeared into the night.

Hu Weiyong's messenger didn't understand what Li Shanchang was thinking, and neither did Jiang Yu for a while.

But he knew that Li Shanchang's move must have deep meaning.

Early the next morning, just as the gate of the city was just opened, Jiang Yu rushed straight to Yingtian Mansion.

At three quarters in the afternoon,

Zhu Biao is listening carefully to Jiang Yu's report in the East Palace.

Jiang Yu was also the same as when Mao Xiang told Zhu Yuanzhang last time. In order for Zhu Biao to have an almost immersive feeling, he also told the whole process vividly.

Even Li Shanchang's eye movements, he never let them go.

"Good job, let's go rest!"

After Jiang Yu left, Zhu Biao also walked out of the study door, only looking in the direction of Haozhou City with deep eyes.

Judging from Jiang Yu's report, there are two pieces of news that he had never thought of before.

One is that Hu Weiyong dared to ask such a rebellious question, and the other is Li Shanchang's answer after seeing this question.

Not only did he not reply to the letter, he also told Hu Weiyong not to ask some questions even if they were brought into the coffin, and even told His Majesty not to write another letter to him before he came back.

Zhu Biao knew the intention of the old Xiangguo just after thinking about it for a while.

First of all, Li Shanchang has his own bottom line from beginning to end. He hopes to keep the prime minister's power, and he also hopes to fight for his own interests for the Huaixi brothers.

But at its root, this is just a struggle between imperial power and prime minister caused by political disagreements and conflicts of interests between him and the emperor.

He, Li Shanchang, only wanted the result of "one person under ten thousand people" from beginning to end, and he never thought about the status of "above ten thousand people".

As for Hu Weiyong's question, there is a hint of delusion.

Obviously, Li Shanchang did this to beat Hu Weiyong and to protect himself.

After thinking about all this, Zhu Biao just raised the corners of his mouth and gave a faint smile of relief.

"Old Xiangguo, you are worthy of the old Xiangguo!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao looked at Hu Weiyong's Xiangfu again, his gaze was still deep, but there was also an imperceptible killing intent between his brows!
After a long time, Zhu Biao looked in the direction of Yanmen County again.

Although Hu Weiyong's question shouldn't be asked, asking it will basically determine his future outcome.

But I have to admit that his problem is not impossible to become a reality.

Yes!

What if Ye Qing really overestimated himself, what if Yanmen County was captured by Bei Yuan before Xu Da's army appeared behind Bei Yuan's army?
If his parents really didn't leave, there would be a big problem!
Not to mention how filial Zhu Biao is, based on his current status, it can be said that he is no different from the throne of the emperor.

He is not Li Chengqian, he doesn't want to be emperor so early, he wants his father to live a few more years and help him work for a few more years!

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao immediately summoned two young men in Jinyiwei who came back to send Zhu Yuanzhang's personal letter.

"Early tomorrow morning, you two should hurry to Yanmen County. If you meet His Majesty on the way, you should come back quickly and tell Gu."

"If you don't meet His Majesty on the way, go to Yanmen County to look for him, and when you find him, come back quickly and tell Gu, why hasn't he come back?"

The two young guards in Jinyi kowtowed immediately.

Early the next morning, two young guards in plain clothes rode on the official road to Yanmen County.

At this time, Yanmen Arsenal also delivered Zhu Yuanzhang's custom-made armor.

Located in the hall of Ye Qing's private residence in the back of the county government office,
Ye Qing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in front of him with a livid face, and said: "General Guo, try to see if this armor fits well, if it doesn't fit, there is still time for you to change it."

"What does your face mean?"

"It's as if the official has captured your young man."

"Everyone can testify that this officer is sincere, and I have been courteous to a corporal three times. It's because you don't know what's good and what's wrong. It's because you toast and don't eat fine wine. It's because you are wrong first, okay?".
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
