Chapter 580 Surveillance Report Sent by Mao Xiang

Chapter 580: Surveillance Report Sent by Mao Xiang

Guo Xiang’s guess was indeed a bit outrageous.

But as expected, I guessed the result after going through a long circle.

It was as if a boomerang was flying around in the invisible air.

However, Master Hu no longer thought about these things.

This matter has nothing to do with him.

To put it bluntly, he only gave him a word or two of advice because of their old relationship and the other party's down-to-earth work style.

Did he say anything that was worth avoiding?
In other words, did he say anything he shouldn't have said?
nothing!
Then it’s over!
In fact, only one night later, Master Hu happily took all the beauties to the social hall to have dinner and play cards, and then returned home to have fun for a few days.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the report in his hand with a frown and a serious expression.

After a long time, he looked up at Mao Xiangdao.

"What's wrong with what Weiyong said?"

"He told Guo Xiang and the others to do their job honestly, and that they would have good opportunities in the future. That's not wrong!"

At this moment, Mao Xiang really wanted to slap himself a few times.

How come he saw the news about Mr. Hu meeting with officials and then came here excitedly to "complain"?

This is typical of being confused.

The emperor's favor to Master Hu is deeper than he imagined.

However, Mao Xiang was not speechless, he spoke with a righteous look on his face.

"Your Majesty, when I was in charge of monitoring this association, I discovered something."

"Not only do many officials take advantage of this meeting place to get together every few days, there is suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain."

"The most important thing is that these people are colluding with businessmen."

"Those merchants bribed them indirectly by taking advantage of opportunities like playing cards, paying membership fees, and having meals."

"Although the amount is not large, this cannot be allowed, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the report in his hand with a serious expression, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito.

Obviously, for Zhu Yuanzhang, these two things violated his taboos.

But... the matter involves Mr. Hu, and the key is the matter of this association house. He said it was okay just now, but now he is looking for trouble?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was often shameless and rogue, he would still discriminate against people.

At least, as far as Mr. Hu is concerned, we still have to save some face in front of him.

After all, these are real old brothers and in-laws.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Okay, Mao Xiang, go and do your thing!"

"We need to talk to Weiyong about this in detail."

Mao Xiang smacked his lips in envy and speechlessness, but he could only leave obediently.

Because he knew that he would not be able to enjoy the same treatment as Master Hu here.

If he continued to talk, he might get a good beating.

And Master Hu also arrived very quickly.

After all, he is free at the moment.

When Mr. Hu arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang directly handed him the report that Mao Xiang had investigated.

"Just take a look for yourself first!"

"We know you're not here for this shit, but we need to hear your thoughts."

"After all, this has already happened."

Master Hu took the Jinyiwei's unique report from Song Li and flipped through it, but he raised his eyebrows as soon as he opened it.

Wow, you are really monitoring the club.

But that's not surprising.

After all, not only is this place their own business, but a large number of officials have come here as well, making it a natural source of information.

Master Hu looked at the report in his hand, thought carefully for a moment, then looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Your Majesty, call the prince over." "Let's talk about this together!"

"There are some things that he needs to know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again when he heard this.

But he still waved at Song Li beside him.

After Song Li ran briskly to inform Zhu Biao, he turned around and looked at Master Hu and said.

"Why did you drag the prince along?"

"It's not a big deal!"

Mr. Hu shook his head firmly.

"We really have to involve the prince in this matter!"

"Because I want to discuss state affairs with Your Majesty and the Crown Prince."

"But for this kind of thing, it would be better if the prince was present. He could still bring up any ideas he had."

"But if he is not present, if the prince really has any objections to the state affairs, he will not even have the opportunity to express his opinions."

"Then do you think that when he succeeds to the throne, he will try to change it directly?"

"Because he has no idea why you think about these things, and what other considerations you have."

"As long as he feels that it is not to his liking, or is not conducive to the situation at the time, then he can change it. No one can stop him, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Master Hu in a daze, and after a long time he nodded silently.

Obviously, he also recognized this.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is a little worried now.

"Is Weiyong too concerned about Biao'er?"

'Does he really want me to abdicate so quickly?'

It has to be said that this newly emerged idea somewhat upset Zhu Yuanzhang.

He could only suppress the violence rising from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he would not get so angry that he would take Master Hu out and chop him to death.

Zhu Biao came very quickly.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that Song Li told him that Zhu Yuanzhang and Mr. Hu were discussing something and then asked him to come over.

Whenever these two discuss anything, he needs to be present.

There is no need to think about it, it must be a big deal.

After Zhu Biao walked in and simply greeted the two elders, Master Hu immediately handed the memorial he had just received to Zhu Biao.

"Prince, take a look at this first!"

"This is what triggered today's discussion!"

Zhu Biao didn't hesitate and started to look through it.

But as he looked at it, his brows began to frown.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt very proud when he saw this scene.

"As expected of our son, Yingguo is like me!"

Master Hu had no intention of playing tricks on them, so he just went straight to the point.

“There are two problems exposed here.”

"First, officials may not have formed cliques to cause any trouble yet, but they will definitely do so in the future."

"They often work together to complete certain tasks, and they often collude with each other to deceive their superiors and subordinates."

"This kind of thing is bound to happen."

"The second problem is that officials have started to collude with merchants by taking advantage of my venue."

"Although it's only a small amount of silver at the moment, what about later?"

"Will greed play a role and lead to even greater collusion between officials and businessmen?"

"After all, businessmen just want to make more money, and officials also want to take a chance!"

"Then, these two issues are what we need to consider!"
