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

Chapter 8 Zhu Yuanzhang: We can’t understand this Hu Weiyong

Chapter 8 Zhu Yuanzhang: We can’t understand this Hu Weiyong
In the Qinzheng Hall in the center of Yingtian Mansion Forbidden Palace, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the memorial in his hand with a solemn expression.

And just like the memorials in his hand, there are still a lot of them on the imperial record.

But Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye, handling the memorial in an orderly manner with one hand and a red pen in the other. From time to time, he would make a stroke or a sharp stroke on the memorial and then throw it aside.

On the opposite side of the imperial case, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang, was standing there with his head lowered and his eyes attentive, not making any movement at all.

If it hadn't been for the occasional blink of his eyes, others would have thought it was a sculpture.

Mao Xiang has been standing here for a long time, and he even has no feeling in his legs now.

But he still stood silently as if he were just a sculpture.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he seemed to be very powerful in the outside world, but he knew in his heart that he was just a domestic slave of Emperor Zhu.

He does not belong to the civil and military officials, but is only responsible to the emperor. Naturally, he has a better understanding of the character of Zhu Yuanzhang, the hero.

To put it nicely, it is a wise person, but to put it badly, it is just stubbornness.

In front of him, just do what you should do, and that's it. For the rest, don't look, don't listen, don't ask.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, it is not difficult to understand that you will become a prisoner overnight.

I don't know how much time passed, and it was even long enough for Mao Xiang to stand there in a daze, before he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's seemingly casual instructions.

"Give a seat!"

Mao Xiang reacted instinctively and raised his hands like a reflex: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Even now his legs were numb and hurt like pinpricks.

But facing the pier that Song Li moved, he still only dared to sit half-assed, and his upper body was straight, not daring to slack off at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with admiration, but he asked lightly: "The Li family is quite lively these days, isn't it?"

Lee's? !
Naturally, he is referring to the Li family of South Korean Gong Li Shanchang who has been gaining momentum recently.

"Back to Your Majesty, spies from the South Korean government have come to report that the residence has been crowded with guests recently."

"From the early morning until the evening curfew, the crowds of people in front of the Korean government palace never stop."

"Here is the detailed entry and exit list, please review it!"

Mao Xiang took out a thick stack of paper from his pocket without hesitation and handed it to Song Li who was standing aside with both hands respectfully.

After Song Li took it, he bent down and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang as if he was running smoothly.

Lao Zhu was not surprised at all that Mao Xiang could easily come up with this list.

It can even be said that if Mao Xiang cannot come up with this list, then Mao Xiang will not be able to escape today.

As an intelligence agency established by him, it seems to be responsible for investigating the world, but in fact it targets all civil and military officials.

Whether it is the officials from the capital in Yingtian Mansion or the officials from the border areas who have spread out, they are all under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.

Inside, there are spies buried in the palace by Jin Yiwei.
Outside, there are also disguised fans of Jin Yiwei monitoring every move.

It can be said that all officials in the entire Ming Dynasty can send Mao Xiang to Mao Xiang immediately if they have any news, and Mao Xiang will sort it out and forward it to the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Looking through the list in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through it faster and faster. In the end, he slapped the imperial case directly, and his face was already covered with frost.

"Prestige!"

"How majestic!" "Look at these people, how smart they are!"

"Everyone is telling us that they have a scholarly character, but when they flatter Li Shan, they don't have any character at all!"

Mao Xiang originally thought that when he saw this list today, he would curse Li Shanchang.

After all, such an upright person made friends with all the ministers when he first took office, which is quite arrogant and domineering.

Unexpectedly, Li Shanchang was not mentioned at all today, but instead he was directed at those flattering middle- and low-level officials.

Little did he know that in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Li Shanchang was already a dead person in his eyes ever since he instigated a group of people to lift him to the position of prime minister.

It's just a matter of seeing when the guillotine will fall.

That's why he felt that the middle and lower-level officials were particularly annoying.

This Ming Dynasty was conquered by Zhu Chongba and belongs to our old Zhu family.

We just selected a long-term foreman. You are obviously the long-term foreman of our old Zhu family. Instead of working hard for our old Zhu family, you are focused on currying favor with the long-term foreman. What do you want to do?
However, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had not yet passed away, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying were not dead, and he had not yet evolved into the Emperor Zhu who frowned and raised the butcher's knife high.

Therefore, this group of officials have escaped temporarily, but I don't know whether they will be liquidated by Lao Zhu in the future.

After taking a deep breath, Lao Zhu looked at Mao Xiang and asked in a deep voice:

"Where is Hu Weiyong? What have you been doing recently? Are you really just recuperating from illness?"

Mao Xiang hesitated with a strange expression on his face, then took out a report with only a few pieces of paper from his pocket and forwarded it to Song Li.

"Your Majesty, Academician Hu's temperament has changed drastically recently."

"Every day I am either fishing in the backyard pond or hanging out with all the concubines drinking and playing music."

"From time to time, I asked a few imperial doctors to check my pulse and take care of my body, but other than that, I closed the door tightly and didn't contact anyone!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Mao Xiang with a pair of tiger eyes, and asked sternly.

"Didn't contact anyone?"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang quickly stood up and bowed his hands and replied: "There are spies watching inside and people watching outside. I dare to confirm that Academician Hu has not had contact with anyone."

"The list of names that were just submitted and recorded in the report are all those who wanted to visit Scholar Hu in recent days but were rejected."

"I guarantee with my head that except for a few imperial doctors, no one else will come or go from the Hu Mansion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned even more when he heard this.

Hu Weiyong, has he changed his gender?

Or did he really break through the world of mortals after suffering a misfortune?
Otherwise, the prime minister who used to have overwhelming power and power would actually live a small life behind closed doors like this?
The most important thing is that according to the rules between civil servants, it stands to reason that a position like the Prime Minister will only be approved after three speeches. This is also an unspoken rule between the monarch and his ministers.

This shows that the king values ​​his ministers.

But he just sent the first letter begging for bones, and he went directly to his prime minister position. Is he really so willing?

This guy, why do you think something is wrong?

What's the plot hidden here?
Damn it, I can’t understand!
When did Hu Weiyong learn from Liu Bowen?
The most important thing is that Hu Weiyong had just fallen seriously ill and lost his position as prime minister. Now it seems that it is normal to go deep into the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not find any fault.

This Hu Weiyong was somewhat confusing to him.
