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

Chapter 64 Hu Weiyong is the boss of the old Zhu family

Chapter 64 Hu Weiyong is the boss of the old Zhu family

Yang Xian didn't say a word about Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment, he honestly accepted the punishment and left.

Even though this imperial edict would bring a big stain on his back, he didn't dare to say a word.

Because he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was actually trying to save face for him.

After all, the actual punishment is just a salary.

After reaching his position as prime minister, how could he still expect that little salary to support his family?

That year's salary was far less scary than his charges.

But...the one who said this was Zhu Yuanzhang, who ended the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty and created the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

How could the prestige of the Hongwu Emperor be resisted by a single minister?
So what if this minister is the prime minister?
Therefore, Yang Xian accepted the decree and left in despair.

Seeing Yang Xian's slightly hasty and embarrassed figure, Hu Weiyong didn't restrain himself at all and sneered on the spot.

In his previous life, he was not a member of the officialdom, and he also confirmed that he was not a highly intelligent person.

But his experience in his previous life told him.

Anyone who is an emperor is actually suspicious.

The more you behave and hide it, the more he will think there is something wrong with you.

After all, anyone who is an emperor feels that there cannot be a saint in this world.

Are you doing so well for fame or profit?

On the contrary, Hu Weiyong is like this now, with his lustful and petty intentions on the surface. For emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang, this is the best and truest thing.

After all, everyone has emotions and desires.

This is enough to make people bully him at the doorstep, and he is still a "junior" in the officialdom. If Hu Weiyong can tolerate this, how deep is his scheming?
Therefore, Hu Weiyong directly exposed his hostility towards Yang Xian.

But in his heart, Hu Weiyong didn't think much of Yang Xian.

Both sides are smart people!
But Yang Xian's goals are mostly in the officialdom and the court.

In his opinion, if he attacks, draws in, and hooks up enough ministers, his position will be secure.

Even in the future, answering hundreds of calls in the court and facing the emperor directly are the truest desires and dreams in his heart.

But what about Hu Weiyong?
Haha, Mr. Hu has a noble nature and disdains fighting in the court. He only cares about Zhu Yuanzhang, and at most Prince Zhu Biao.

After all, he is just a mediocre man who is bent on doing things badly.

The most important thing is that in Hu Weiyong's memory, it seems that Yang Xian really won't be able to bounce around for much longer.

This guy is really a typical example of someone who goes wild once he gets his way.

It's just that he chose the wrong time and person to be crazy.

It was obviously Lao Zhu who specially selected the character to compete with Li Shanchang in order to balance the court and eliminate the position of prime minister in the future.

But this guy didn't stare at Li Shanchang. Instead, he turned to stare at Zhu Yuanzhang's younger brother Hu Weiyong.

Doesn't this mean that you don't do business and just go against Zhu Yuanzhang?

It's strange that Lao Zhu isn't angry.

While Hu Weiyong was still thinking about it, Zhu Biao finally entered the palace with his fat belly, swaying and sweating.

"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Huh...huh...huh, Hu...Hu Gong is exempt from courtesy!"

Hu Weiyong has always maintained a good habit.

That is, regardless of how he was arming himself with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, chatting and laughing, he would never go beyond the etiquette between monarchs and ministers.

He was very clear.

If the etiquette is in place, it proves that you recognize the emperor and the prince.

As for the things in between, it just proves that you have a good relationship with the emperor and the prince.

After all, it is quite normal for the emperor or prince to have a good personal relationship with a certain minister.Obviously, seeing Hu Weiyong standing up and saluting his fat son without hesitation, the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became a little brighter.

'Tsk, tsk, you are indeed mediocre. Look, you know how to advance and retreat, and you know the rules! '

'This is much better than those bastards like Li Shanchang and Lan Yu. '

'What a pity, we must depose this prime minister, otherwise we really want Wei Yong to be the prime minister again! '

’ Zhu Yuanzhang’s inner murmurs were not mentioned for the time being.

Zhu Biao's arrival caused several people in the hall to once again shift the topic to potatoes and other fairy foods and divine objects.

After Zhu Biao listened to the introductions of Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Weiyong, his first reaction was also disbelief.

But when he saw the two baskets of real objects still stained with soil and listened to Hu Weiyong's explanation, Zhu Biao's fat face immediately turned red.

"good good good good!"

"Hu Gong, okay!"

"Good! Great!"

Zhu Biao was so happy that he could no longer say anything and could only shout "Okay."

Although unlike his father, he had done farm work and herded cattle, he had traveled extensively with Zhu Yuanzhang's army when he was a child.

Therefore, he has truly seen the true appearance of this world.

Therefore, like his father, he saw the importance of potatoes at a glance.

He can even pat his chest and say that no emperor can resist this thing!
"God!"

"With this magical artifact, our Ming Dynasty will no longer be in danger of famine!"

Zhu Biao carefully held a potato in his big, fat hands. He held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully while sighing exaggeratedly.

But Zhu Yuanzhang kept nodding while listening.

Obviously, his fat son's words touched his heart.

He himself rebelled and became emperor.

He knows better than anyone how terrible a hungry person is.

In the eyes of people who are extremely hungry, there is nothing they dare not do.

rebel?

If you even dare to eat people, what does it mean to rebel?
Therefore, if you let the people fill their stomachs, the people will not rebel.

If the common people will not rebel, then the legacy of his old Zhu family will last forever!
This truth is as simple as the vernacular, but it is something that both father and son understand.

Because at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to die because he had no food to eat. He couldn't survive anyway, so he rebelled after fighting hard.

After Zhu Biao finished sighing and his mood became slightly calmer, the monarch and his ministers finally got down to business.

The arrangement is actually very simple. Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Weiyong had almost agreed on it before.

Zhu Biao came forward to handle this matter, dispatched manpower, arranged work, and was fully responsible for the potato trial planting.

Zhu Biao took over the job without hesitation.

Hu Weiyong pulled Zhu Biao to the throne and asked him to sit on the throne without hesitation. He picked up the ink pen on the imperial desk and handed it to him. He looked at Zhu Biao who was confused and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I'll tell you, memorize it. I'll tell you some of the details I figured out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang not only turned a blind eye to Hu Weiyong's transgressions such as pulling Zhu Biao to sit on the dragon's chair and using a red pen, but instead nodded repeatedly with a smile.

"That's right, Biao'er, write it down quickly, you can't be in the middle of your daily work and still have to ask Weiyong for advice!"

Anyway, this was not the first time he sat here. Zhu Yuanzhang often took Zhu Biao here to review memorials, so Zhu Biao simply sat down peacefully.

And listening to Hu Weiyong's clear and eloquent explanation of various matters.

The look in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and his son when they looked at Hu Weiyong was so tender to the core.

"This is the official of my old Zhu family!"
