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

Chapter 578 A big beard is carved on the forehead
Chapter 578: A big beard carved on the forehead
For Guo Xiang and his gang, they are all suffering.

Back then, Master Hu was so glorious.

There are so many talented people under his command.

As for these people, they actually joined Master Hu's army without knowing why.

There was no other way. When they reached that position, if they wanted to get their work done, they had to coordinate with Mr. Hu, who was the Left Prime Minister at the time.

If you don't submit and lower your head to become one of their own, Master Hu may not have time to deal with you.

But those officials who only come to flatter Mr. Hu will definitely flock to you and teach you a lesson that you will never forget.

It's simple. If they don't step on you, a "loser", how can they, the professional flatterers, show their ability?

Afterwards, Guo Xiang and his people became Master Hu's "disciples" without knowing it.

However, although Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was arrogant at the beginning, he was really busy and very capable.

Therefore, these people did not feel that they were wronged.

However, the situation changed after a soul that had traveled across nearly a thousand years came to this era and kicked away the position of prime minister.

Those flatterers who were most opportunistic only waited for two days, confirmed the news, and then turned around and ran away.

They all went to Li Shanchang.

After all, it doesn't matter who you flatter, right?
What's more, for them, it doesn't matter who the boss is, they only want to become rich!

And what about Guo Xiang and his gang?
Depressed!

For them, they are actually quite annoyed by this kind of thing.

Because from beginning to end they are just honest working people.

Of course, they also have their own little thoughts, and they also want to rise quickly and get promoted to higher positions.

But I really don't have the talent or vision to flatter people.

Fortunately, Master Hu just retired at that time and didn’t die.

These people might as well stick together and work honestly.

After all, it was too busy in front of the door of Duke Hanguo Li Shanchang, so there was no room for them to get close.

Then, after a few months, they were surprised to find out.

Hey, I got promoted passively for no apparent reason.

The superiors, the flatterers around him, and the smart people all accompanied Li Shanchang to the execution ground without knowing what was going on.

They, who usually just work hard, have become the most suitable candidates for promotion.

Then, they communicated more and more eagerly.

At the same time, it was at this time that they realized the wisdom of Master Hu.

Just a simple retreat suddenly opened up a new world.

Not only did she get rid of all the dangers, but her niece, who had been raised in the Hu Mansion as the eldest daughter, became the Crown Princess.

Going to the palace to chat with His Majesty is just like visiting relatives;
It was not easy for Mr. Hu to get married, and he even married the eldest princess of the Zhu family...

Adding all these things together, even a fool can see the wisdom and power behind Master Hu.

Therefore, Guo Xiang and his gang, who had always been under the tutelage of Master Hu, found an opportunity and courageously went to his door again.

As for these people, Master Hu knew them more or less well.

He didn't say he didn't want to see me, nor did he have a meal or anything. He just sat down and drank a cup of tea, then said a few words of encouragement and expressed his attitude, and that was it.

The meaning is actually very simple.

You guys work hard, I'm just a salted fish, don't look for me.

Of course, the words would not be said so bluntly, but this is definitely the meaning.

Then Guo Xiang and others understood. In their opinion, what Mr. Hu meant was...

"You guys just do it on your own, be honest and low-key like before, and when the time comes, I will take action!"

It’s no wonder Guo Xiang and the others made such a guess.

The truth is that Mr. Hu really has a very good reputation among officials.

Look, after he resigned, a large number of his "old subordinates" defected, but Master Hu just watched it coldly.

Even when dealing with the Li Shanchang case later, Master Hu neither made things worse nor took any righteous action. He just watched.

Afterwards, Master Hu rose again, and with the help of the royal family, he not only stood up, but also stood more firmly.

But Master Hu still didn't say anything, just stood there alone.

Among the students who were once the closest to me, only those who were far away still had some correspondence with me.

The letter did not mention any court grudges or anything like that. Instead, it seriously sent people from the mansion, carrying silver bills and Mr. Hu's personal letter, to the local area to set up a purchasing outlet for tea and specialties.

Master Hu even brought in his students' maiden family or brother-in-law's family to get some money, which was considered as a way for his students to have some property.

After the tea trade was established, everything was done in an open and orderly manner.

They pay as much as others pay.

Although I won't give more than others, I won't give less either.

Since Master Hu did not hide these things at all, they spread very widely.

But it was this seemingly "estranged" method of avoiding suspicion that made all the court officials envious.

They also want such a teacher.

Look at how this has been done. The local area has achieved results and political achievements, and the local officials also have income.

Although it's not much, it's a long-lasting and aboveboard process.

Anyway, the sign hanging on the surface says "Hu", so how can you blame the local officials?

Moreover, there is no need to take risks to take care of her. Mr. Hu would rather earn less than do such a thing.

All these things combined made all the court officials so envious that they were almost dying of envy.

After learning the news, Guo Xiang and others, who were originally eager to make some moves, finally calmed down.

They even discovered that such days were actually quite good.

No risk, just work hard.

Although it is not so glamorous, it is safer.

So what if you get promoted faster than me?
In a few years, by the time I climb up, the grass on your family’s graves will be three inches high.

Therefore, after Guo Xiang and others paid a visit to Master Hu, they were truly "enlightened".

All factions and teams are fake.

Just focus on your work, because Master Hu is standing behind us. What belongs to us will definitely be ours in the future.

As for the rest, never mind!

It's no wonder that the way these people worked so hard and didn't do anything really caught Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.

After reading the intelligence collected by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied with this attitude and spirit.

Well, that was exactly what they wished for.

What belongs to them will definitely be theirs in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with this!
At this point, Guo Xiang and others had a big "Hu" carved on their foreheads.
