Chapter 295 Zhu Yuanzhang’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 295 Zhu Yuanzhang’s mentality collapsed

"Song Li, do you mean that Weiyong is not sick?"

"Just to avoid suspicion?"

Zhu Yuanzhang somewhat doubted whether he heard correctly.

But Song Li told him with a wry smile: "Yes, Mr. Hu sent a sick leave note to the Ministry of Works, but he is actually in good health."

"The statement about him avoiding suspicion was made by the Jin Yiwei in Mr. Hu's house when he heard him playing mahjong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head with a speechless expression.

Speechless!

It’s really the kind that makes you extremely speechless!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even know how to describe Hu Weiyong's behavior for a while!
It’s right to avoid suspicion!
It can be said that in all dynasties, there have been ministers who, for various reasons, lived in seclusion and lived in simplicity to avoid suspicion.

But no one has ever been so insane.

I really don’t care about anything!

If this were an ordinary person, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been punished long ago.

After all, it was only Zhu Yuanzhang who took advantage of others.

How is it possible for people to get just a salary and not work?

But... facing Mr. Hu, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little helpless.

Because Mr. Hu had already said before that he wanted to stay at home and let this poor servant do whatever he wanted.

Anyway, anyone can go, but he won’t do it anyway!

In other words, this minister of the Ministry of Industry was simply forced on Hu Weiyong by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But unfortunately Mr. Hu came up with a magic weapon like cement not long after he became the Minister of Industry.

It can be said that based on this merit alone, no one can stand up and say that Mr. Hu is not doing well in the Ministry of Industry.

This is Mr. Hu’s confidence to show off!
Although he was absent from work, late, and left early, and even took the lead in drinking tea, eating snacks and sunbathing in the Yamen, he was a good Minister of Works.

It’s still the kind that deserves a lot of credit!
After thinking about these things, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and picked up the ink pen.

No way!
Now it seems that I actually have only one way to go.

That is to choose a new minister of the Ministry of Industry!
There is no other way!

If he didn't do this, according to the information Song Li had learned, Zhang Shan might have to give up his job.

At this point, Mr. Hu's short but glorious career as Minister of the Ministry of Industry came to an end.

Looking at the imperial edict that was still inked in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang felt particularly depressed.

"Song Li, what do you think Weiyong thinks?"

“Isn’t this old saying always about people’s life’s pursuit of promotion and wealth, drinking and sex!”

"Why is it that when he comes to Weiyong, he likes everything else, but he can't avoid this promotion?"

"Look what he did!"

"It's okay if the Prime Minister doesn't do it. He was indeed injured at the time."

"But what happens after this?"

"He looks like he wishes he didn't even have to work for a day!"

"Obviously, he has been promoted from Hanlin bachelor to Minister of Industry, but for him, it's like forcing him to drink poisonous wine!"

"This is outrageous!"

Song Li is worthy of being an old chamberlain who has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years. At this time, he is the only one who can accompany Zhu Yuanzhang to talk about these things.

"Your Majesty, if Master Hu hadn't been so upright and upright, you wouldn't have trusted him so much, right?"

"Besides, Mr. Hu doesn't go to the Yamen very often, but he does not miss any of the errands entrusted to him!"

Don't blame Song Li for saying good things to Mr. Hu.

Because he knew very well, don’t look at Zhu Yuanzhang complaining about Mr. Hu like this.

But in fact, the Hongwu Emperor was not very satisfied with Mr. Hu Weiyong.

It’s true that Mr. Hu’s ability to run errands is top-notch. He doesn’t care about power, fame and fortune at all, and he has an attitude of knowing how to advance and retreat. That’s great!

So good that just seeing these two points was enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to forgive Hu Weiyong for his other faults.

"You can speak for him!"

"Is he a noble person?" "Bullshit! He is just lazy!"

"Why can't Li Shanchang learn from him?"

"All I can think about is seizing power!"

"Hmph, he is already the prime minister and he still wants to take over power. Why, will he be satisfied if we let him sit in our position?"

Song Like didn't dare to answer this.

He even wished he hadn't heard these words.

But Zhu Yuanzhang had been holding back for a long time.

At this moment, I felt quite unhappy.

"It would be great if these two people could combine together!"

"What a pity. We can't eliminate Li Shanchang's ambition, and we can't eliminate Hu Weiyong's laziness."

"Alas...how can our emperor be so depressed!"

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang often thought that it would be great if Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong could combine their efforts and then distribute them equally.

But he also knew that this was just his delusion.

Li Shanchang's ambition is almost written on his face. It is absolutely impossible for him to voluntarily give up the power in his hands and the position of prime minister.

And what about Hu Weiyong?
He also wrote the word "Xianyu" on his forehead.

Li Shanchang at least made a secret point, but Mr. Hu had made it clear in front of him many times that he no longer wanted to be an official.

It is clear that these two people are both capable ministers and officials.

If it wasn't absolutely necessary, who would be willing to give up on these two people?

Huh?
When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered.

no!
How could Hu Weiyong just stay at home so comfortably?

joke!

As an emperor, we have to deal with government affairs every day, and even we have to find time to play mahjong.

You are not older than us, and your body looks pretty good. You still want to fish every day?
Want to eat fart!

Get up and work for us!

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang took the ink pen beside him and wrote the imperial edict again with a swipe of a swish.

After stamping the jade seal with a snap, he handed it directly to Song Li.

"Go, go to Weiyong's Mansion!"

"Explain it to him clearly, let's give him another half month's leave!"

"But in half a month, he will have to work for us honestly!"

"Tell him not to forget about us while playing around!"

Song Li took the imperial edict with a wry smile.

Let alone talk about this matter, Mr. Hu is really capable of doing it.

When Mr. Hu received this imperial edict at his residence, he didn't hide it at all.

His expression turned bad on the spot. He squinted at Song Li and said, "Old Song, go back and tell His Majesty."

"Just say that I know, and remember to arrange a more leisurely job for me when the time comes!"

Song Li directly spread his hands: "Master Hu, we are just an errand boy!"

"Isn't it ultimately up to the emperor to make the final decision on this matter?"

Mr. Hu did not embarrass Song Li and waved his hand to let him leave quickly.

Even if he knew, this was actually because Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to let himself be idle.

But...he is still depressed!

Forget it, leave him alone!
Let’s play for half a month first.

And at this moment, the system that had not appeared for so long that Mr. Hu almost forgot its existence appeared.
