Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 185 Suddenly looking back at the enemy in the court

Chapter 185: Suddenly looking back at the enemy in the court

Yang Xian suddenly fell. Not only the ministers in the court did not expect it, but even Mr. Hu was caught off guard.

He knew that no matter Yang Xian or Li Shanchang, they would be killed by Lao Zhu sooner or later.

But it was somewhat unexpected that he fell so suddenly.

What's more, Yang Xian's downfall is not just his fault.

Zhu Yuanzhang never misses any opportunity to clean up the court.

No, Yang Xian, the front foot, has just been released from prison, and he probably hasn't had a few words with Jin Yiwei yet.

Afterwards, a large number of officials began to line up towards the prison to enter like dumplings.

Good guys, especially the first generation of officials from eastern Zhejiang, this time they were just like leeks, being cut off by Lao Zhu.

And before the subsequent involvement could continue, Yang Xian was executed directly.

The speed is jaw-dropping.

Even the charges are vague.

It can be said that Yang Xian's death is more or less unclear.

But if you want to say whether he should die?

That's absolutely damn good!

After all, if you were a minister in the Ming Dynasty and you went to Zhu Yuanzhang with arrogance, who would die if you didn't?

This kind of thing is obvious!

The key is that Yang Xian is obviously dead, but he continues to stuff people into the prison one after another.

And the charges are all related to the unified "Yang Xian Party"!

But actually, I don’t know what mistake I made!

Anyway, let's take advantage of this crime first, and then we'll know after a trial.

In the end, when he may be taken to the execution ground, the crime will have nothing to do with Yang Xian at all.

The rest are all "common crimes" such as corruption, dereliction of duty, and disregard of human life!

After all, Lao Zhu was just taking this opportunity to cleanse the officialdom, not intentionally killing people.

But for Hu Weiyong, this situation made him feel particularly emotional.

This is the Hongwu Year of the Ming Dynasty!

This is the era of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty!

As an official in this era, sometimes you really have to get luck.

Talking about those who are currently being imprisoned and those who are put on the execution ground, are there any who have been unjustly accused?

Of course!

Maybe not a lot, but definitely there!

After all, when Lao Zhu held the butcher knife high, maybe the people below also sent in a few that he didn't like?

This kind of thing has never happened since ancient times.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself, although he kept saying it, no one was wronged.

But in fact, sometimes, whether someone is wronged or not is really just a matter of his words.

In Hu Weiyong's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he comes from a poor and grassroots background, so he cares about and values ​​the people at the bottom.

He has an instinctive wariness and resistance towards officials.

In his simple values, officials and corrupt officials can be equated.

It seems that the vast majority of officials are useless people who do nothing but are extremely good at making money.

It was this kind of value that led him to not care at all about the unjust killing of several officials.

But on the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor.

People who are emperors, especially those who are successful, must be rational over emotional.

Therefore, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, sometimes officials even died unjustly, were sacrificed, or were even killed by him in large numbers.

As long as it can achieve its strategic goals, it is qualified and satisfactory.

In fact, this kind of thing was especially obvious in the original history when Lan Yu and his gang of Huaixi nobles were killed.

To put it bluntly, are Lan Yu and the others guilty?

Have!

But it was not a crime that required death, but for Zhu Yunwen's succession, he was killed cleanly. The purpose is the change of imperial power.

Compared to what was done to Lan Yu in history, Yang Xian was nothing.

Yang Xian was indeed quite prosperous before.

After all, he was thinking of causing trouble for himself when he started blabbering before.

In terms of background, he was also the leader of the East Zhejiang faction who responded to everyone's call. Whether in the scholarly world or in official circles, he was a fierce man who spoke very loudly.

In terms of identity, let’s not talk about the previous official positions at all levels. Just talk about the right prime minister before his death. It seems that there was Li Shanchang above him.

But in fact, Prime Minister You is also a prime minister.

Among civil officials, the prime minister is the highest position.

With the position of the Right Prime Minister and the strong support of the Zhejiang East faction, Yang Xian's previous glory and arrogance were actually emboldened.

It is not an exaggeration to even say that power dominates both the government and the public.

Although Li Shanchang can suppress Yang Xian's group, in fact, it can only be placed above the court.

When it comes to actually doing something specific, a large number of middle and low-level officials are actually closely united around the Zhejiang faction.

After all, they have the same origin, the same hometown party, and the same family... there are too many relationships that connect them together.

It is precisely because of this that even if Li Shanchang wins the battle in the court, he still has to deal with Yang Xian when it comes to implementation.

After all, if he didn't communicate with Yang Xian, the other party could really legitimately and legally blame him for his previous face.

For this reason, who dares to say that Yang Xian is a useless prime minister?

But it’s just such a person, so that’s all!

Hu Weiyong didn't do anything in the house these days, he just focused on this matter.

He even urged Hu Yi to go out and get news for him every day.

Hu Yi was so full of ambition that when he went out to inquire about news, his chest almost reached people's faces.

After all, even if I don't know how my master will develop in the future, the lady in charge of the mansion will soon become the crown princess.

My master is the rightful father of the country!

Of course, the master is not the biological father of the cousin.

But that Mr. Hu, does he have the right to speak in front of his own master?

If the master hadn't been standing behind her, would Miss Tang have become the crown princess?

snort!

Didn’t you see that the royal family was discussing Miss Tang’s marriage with our master from the beginning to the end?

This is proof!

It was this simple understanding that made Hu Yi feel confident when inquiring about information.

But unfortunately, the bureaucrats and helpers of Yingying Tianfu really do this.

After all, who doesn’t know that Mr. Hu has a good relationship with His Majesty?

Who doesn't know that Mr. Hu is about to become the head of the country?

Who doesn't know that Mr. Hu will soon become prime minister again?

What?

I really don’t know this!

That's right, when he heard the news, not only Hu Yi was dumbfounded.

After the news came back, Hu Weiyong was also stunned!

He knew that after Yang Xian's death, the position of Prime Minister Right became vacant.

But what he didn't know was that when he went to court today, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to elect a new right prime minister.

As a result, a large number of people stood up and unanimously recommended Mr. Hu to return to the position of prime minister.

And as soon as the court came down, the news had already spread all over the sky.

When Hu Weiyong heard the news, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot!

Grandma is a jerk, someone wants to harm me!
