Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 51 Wei Yong is willing to follow the lead of His Highness King Wu!

It was the winter day before the New Year, and the cold wind was whistling. There is a copper pot on the table in the room, with freshly cut lamb, vegetables, fruits, cold dishes...

Zhu Tie picked up a warm pot of branded silver from the stove and put it on the table, and said to Hu Weiyong: "Hu Xiangguo, would you like to drink some of the five-year-old Huadiao wine to go away the cold?"

"It's really a pleasure to have a drink with His Highness the King of Wu." Hu Weiyong catered.

Zhu Tong chuckled lightly, filled their glasses with wine, and said leisurely: "Why would a nobleman like Hu Xiangguo think of running to this king when he is not busy with official duties?"

Hu Weiyong took a sip of the wine in the glass and sighed: "Your Highness, you are asking even though you already know."

Jin Yiwei bit the Huaixi party like a wild dog. According to the wishes of the old Xiangguo, he pushed Hu Xiangguo out to prevent the disaster.

But Hu Weiyong felt that he was still young and he didn't want to die yet.

When things came to a pass, the person who decided his life or death was not Li Shanchang, but Lao Zhu and His Highness the King of Wu in front of him.

"Hu Xiangguo, since you are willing to find me, I will show you a way out."

Zhu Xi was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Prime Minister would come to him so quickly. Originally, according to his plan, the Huaixi Party at this time should still be in the stage of observation and hesitation. However, judging from Hu Weiyong's behavior, it was clear that the Korean man behind it, Li Shanchang, had understood the situation and planned to abandon the car to protect the commander.

Those who can stand out in troubled times and become dukes and ministers are really among the best and should not be underestimated.

Although Li Shanchang's decisiveness in cutting off the wrist of the strong man surprised Zhu Zhu, it was not without a way to solve it. He had already made a plan in his mind and smiled slightly: "Hu Xiangguo, if you can come to this king, I think you already know who Jin Yiwei is running to. Alright?"

Hu Weiyong smiled bitterly and said: "I have become an abandoned son. I think this is probably because your Majesty saw that my Huaixi faction was too powerful and even arrogant, so he wanted to suppress it. The emperor was so angry that his blood flowed thousands of miles. If Wu His Highness the King can point out a clear path for me, and from now on, Wei Yong is willing to follow His Highness the King of Wu’s lead!"

"I am just an idle prince, so why should Hu Xiangguo follow suit? Never say such words again." Zhu Xi waved his hand and continued, "Hu Xiangguo, it is actually the most useless to look for me at this time."

Hu Weiyong frowned slightly: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Zhu Tie picked up a chopstick of mutton without haste and asked: "Hu Xiangguo, it is not difficult for you to guess that what I represent is your majesty's holy grace, and it is your majesty who wants to defeat the Huaixi faction. If I were If I help you, what will Your Majesty think of me?"

Hu Weiyong's face looked a little ugly: "So, His Highness is not willing to help me?"

"I have already said that I will point out a clear path for Hu Xiangguo." Zhu Xi said with a smile, "Hu Xiangguo is now trying to survive in the gap between your majesty and the two peaks of Huaixi. What you have to do now , just grab a handful of straw on the mountain wall.”

Hu Weiyong thought about it, but he felt that the words spoken by His Highness the King of Wu in front of him were too vague. They seemed to have some meaning, but they could not understand them clearly.

He really couldn't understand what the other party meant, so he sighed and said, "Your Highness, just tell me what this handful of straw is. I really don't understand."

"This handful of straw is just like Hu Xiangguo, the group of people who are wandering between His Majesty and Huaixi for survival." Zhu Ju's words finally revealed the true meaning, "Let me make it clearer, among this group of people, The leader’s surname is Liu.”

Hu Weiyong's pupils narrowed: "Liu Bowen?"

Zhu Tong smiled and said nothing, and continued to eat the hotpot mutton.

Hu Weiyong finally understood at this moment. He stood up suddenly and wanted to push the door open, but stopped when he reached the door, turning around and frowning.

Seeing that the Prime Minister was so entangled, Zhu Xi knew that he still needed to pour a pot of hot oil on the fire.

He wiped the grease stains from his mouth with a handkerchief and said calmly: "Since Hu Xiangguo did not go out immediately, I am very pleased. This proves that Hu Xiangguo is a smart man."

"Having found Master Liu, your uncle of sincerity, you have cut off your retreat in Huaixi. Furthermore, whether Master Liu is willing to help you is another question. To put it bluntly, Master Liu is like a clay Buddha crossing the river at this time, and he cannot protect himself. , How can I be willing to get involved in this difficult case of yours, Mr. Hu Xiangguo?"

Hu Weiyong bowed to His Highness the King of Wu who was sitting upright: "Please give me some advice, Your Highness." Zhu Ji did not answer, but pointed to the east.

Hu Weiyong suddenly realized, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, and whispered: "If Weiyong survives this disaster, he owes His Highness the grace of saving his life. This grace will be unforgettable for the rest of his life!"

After saying that, he no longer hesitated and pushed the door open.

Zhu Xi, who stayed at the table, chuckled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the still warm Huadiao wine.

He murmured in a low voice: "Hu Xiangguo, I'm afraid you won't be able to repay this life-saving grace."

……

East Palace.

The silver moon is in the sky.

Princess Chang, who was changing Zhu Biao's clothes, complained: "What time of day it is, that Hu Xiangguo still comes to ask for an audience at night. It's really getting more and more unruly."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned: "Something must have happened, otherwise Hu Weiyong wouldn't be so reckless. He has always been cautious in doing things. To be able to push him to this level, I'm afraid the things behind it are not simple."

Although His Highness the Crown Prince does not supervise the country these days, he is still the most powerful person in the dynasty second only to the emperor. Even if he is not in power, he still firmly controls the situation in the country.

Zhu Biao also heard a little bit about the Huaixi Party and was very concerned about it.

Now that Hu Weiyong was asking for a meeting at night, he already had vague speculations in his mind.

Seeing Zhu Biao's serious expression, Mrs. Chang couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened?"

Zhu Biao paused for a moment, looked back at his wife, and said calmly: "If it were Mr. Lu, he would never ask this question like you."

These words were like a needle pricking into Chang's body, and his expression became gloomy.

Zhu Biao didn't explain, took the cloak from Chang's hand, put it on his shoulders and walked out.

……

Hu Weiyong, who was waiting in the outer hall, was restless like an ant on a hot pot.

After seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come out, he quickly stood up and bowed: "I, Hu Weiyong, have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Biao sat on the chair, picked up the tea and took a sip: "Hu Xiangguo, you came here so late. I think you have something important to discuss, so please don't use polite words. Just say what you have to say."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really keen, and I will tell you the truth. I have just come out of Prince Wu's Mansion." Hu Weiyong sighed, "I had a premonition that I would be killed recently, so I asked His Highness the King of Wu for advice and asked the King of Wu to give me some advice. Clear path."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly: "You also went to Lao Wu's place?"

Hu Weiyong brushed his clothes and knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said: "The clear path His Highness King Wu showed me is in the East Palace."

"Your Highness, the only person who can save me now is you!"
