Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 232 Hu Weiyong was deceived and caught, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Hu Weiyong a big surprise!

Luan Feng was quickly pinned to the ground by the soldiers brought by Hua Yunlong.

Luan Feng immediately raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Sir, Hu Weiyong said this was your intention. You asked me to embarrass Mr. Zhang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deliberately and looked at Luan Feng: "When did I tell Hu Weiyong that this was our intention?"

Luan Feng was shocked again when he saw this, with a rather disappointed look on his face!
"Mu Ying, go and tell Hu Weiyong."

Zhu Yuanzhang then gave another order.

"Hey!"

Muying agreed and asked someone to fetch the horse.

Zhang Cheng smiled faintly when he saw this and couldn't help but glance at Luan Feng.

He knew that thousands of years of landlordism could not be eradicated overnight.

"For this reason, President Luan Qian has sent someone to tell me that he will do this today, because Mr. Zhang will meet with his superiors as usual today to report on the cabinet's plans for next month."

Because top officials are deliberately monopolizing key information provided by Zhang Cheng.

Hu Weiyong nodded: "But only if the superior can truly control the Datong Society, the superior can change the Datong Society! And this requires that there needs to be a clear distinction between the emperor and his ministers between him and Mr. Zhang. In terms of etiquette and law, the superior must be the superior no matter what. When treating Mr. Zhang, even if it is insulting, Mr. Zhang must regard it as a kind of grace!"

"No matter who wins or loses, as long as the monarch and his ministers show their courtesy, the Datong Society will exist in name only, and our Fuli Society can borrow chickens to lay eggs."

Hu Weiyong was startled after hearing this and asked, "Can you tell me what it is?"

After all, to allow people to have other needs besides not wanting to starve to death requires opening up the people's wisdom and giving them greater freedom to imagine their own lives.

Zhao Zhongzhong started talking.

"It's impossible for a person like you to come to power and not think about the future of your Zhu family for generations to come. How can you really be willing to let the world's wealth be used to benefit the people!"

Fortunately for Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to be a landlord, so he did not panic about the changes brought about by the current progress in productivity, and did not have the desire to force himself to admit that he was a master and a slave in terms of status.

Zhang Cheng had to admit that the reason why middle- and lower-level officials like Hu Weiyong and Luan Feng who wanted to be landlords couldn't wait was because their power level was not high enough and they did not have enough access to key information.

For example, it was possible to achieve unrestricted exploitation and enslavement of the people at the bottom by controlling food. However, as productivity improved and food yields increased, people could no longer be controlled by controlling food.

Let us say that when Mu Ying came to Hu Weiyong's place, Hu Weiyong was seriously discussing the relevant program of Fuli Society with Zhao Zhongzhong and others.

"If Mr. Zhang does not accept it, it will naturally make the superiors unhappy, and they may want to get rid of Mr. Zhang. In this way, they will have to compete with each other to find out who is the king and who is the minister."

"When the time comes, it will be nothing more than an edict, and the Datong Society will be abolished and the Fuli Society will be established instead."

"That's good."

At this time, Hu Weiyong's subordinate came over and made a report.

So people who just want to be landlords panic.

For example, the information that there are many important resources around the world waiting to be developed is not known to people like Hu Weiyong.

"So, I specially asked Mr. Luan Qian, who was on duty at Duke Wu's Mansion, to find an opportunity to embarrass Mr. Zhang so that he could no longer use the doorway of a superior. First of all, I forced him to accept him according to the rules of the doorway that he usually used when he came to see the superior. There is a clear distinction between superiors and superiors.”

"What you said is right!"

But this makes Hu Weiyong and Luan Feng, middle- and lower-level officials who only want to be landlords, the most frustrated because they don't know a lot of key information.

Zhang Cheng also agreed to this, because he could not go against the opinions of the majority of the people in the Tingyi Bureau, and he had no obligation to offend people in the Tingyi Bureau to let the world know more information.

It is necessary to allow the people to have other needs, and then use the people's other needs to enslave the people, such as allowing the people to live in good houses, wear good clothes, eat healthier food, and have better entertainment experiences.

Li Shanchang and even Xie Zaixing did not tell them because they did not want one more person to know this key information.

This can be considered a lucky place for Zhang Cheng.

Because, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is an idealist and has enough structure, especially after knowing that there is still a lot of wealth in the world that has not been developed, and that the wealth of the entire world still needs to be increased, rather than entering the stock era and needing to care too much about how to distribute it. , and he did not want to be the largest landlord or emperor in the world.

of course.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng just needs to watch the show quietly now and see how Zhu Yuanzhang disappoints those who want to be landlords but also want him, the supreme leader of the Datong Society, to be a landlord.

Because the more productivity advances, the more people who just want to be landlords panic.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

People including Zhu Yuanzhang believed that confidentiality was important and they should not let too many people, such as nobles such as Hu Yuan, know about it and it would affect the cause of Datong. Zhang Cheng was persuaded to agree not to disclose key information easily to people outside the Tingyi Bureau.

This is difficult to accept for landowners who just want to keep the land and live a stable life of enslaving the people.

Zhao Zhongzhong also said with a smile on his face, his eyes full of good prospects for the future restoration of the Jiatianxia system and the master-slave model that is the favorite of the landlord class.

"The higher-ups call to see Hu Langzhong!"

Even the faster the productivity progresses, the more eager some people who just want to be landlords will want to go back to the past.

When Hu Weiyong said this, he stood up and clasped his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "I think now, Mr. Zhang is being embarrassed by him, and the superiors must be very willing to see how Mr. Zhang will react to this matter."

On the contrary, Li Shanchang, a top official who also wanted to be a landlord, because he was a member of the Tingyi Bureau and had access to more key information, he calmed down and did not engage in internal fighting in the first place.

Otherwise, Zhang Cheng would have to return to modern times early and lament that he cannot change this old world.

Hu Weiyong still said to Zhao Zhongzhong’s confidants at this time:
"I have tested the superior's intention, and the superior still has ideas about changing the concept of Datong."

But once the people cannot be enslaved by "the people's need not to starve to death", and the people are enslaved by other needs of the people, it means that it becomes more difficult to enslave the people.

"If Mr. Zhang accepts it, it will naturally make the superiors happy, knowing that Mr. Zhang is as loyal to him as a servant."

"no!"

Zhao Zhongzhong asked Hu Weiyong: "It must be that Mr. Wei just said that Luan Feng would embarrass Mr. Zhang?"

Hu Weiyong laughed: "It must be true. Now that the superior is passing me over, it's probably because he knows that I am in charge of this matter, so he wants to show his kindness to me and make it clear that I will be loyal to him in the future and let me continue to help him become a real person." The Lord of the World! Not the Lord of the World under the control of the Datong Society!"

"Then you should hurry up and don't let the superiors wait in a hurry." "Since we have decided to restore etiquette, we must abide by etiquette in treating the king more than those who believe in the concept of great harmony!"

Zhao Zhongzhong said.

Hu Weiyong nodded: "That's absolutely true!"

then.

Hu Weiyong immediately walked out. After seeing that the person Zhu Yuanzhang sent to summon him was his adopted son Mu Ying, he even thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was meeting him privately and wanted to discuss confidential matters with him.

After Hu Weiyong saw Mu Ying, he also smiled humbly and said: "I didn't expect that the superior sent you, the young master. This is really embarrassing for me. I can't bear the standards of the young master coming in person."

Mu Ying only said what Zhu Yuanzhang had told him:

"Come with me quickly, my father is anxious to see you."

Hu Weiyong hurriedly asked someone to lead the horse. At the same time, he escaped from his sleeve and handed a small goldfish to Mu Ying:
"The young master has always worked hard to take care of his superiors. We ministers have seen it and are very grateful. We often think about honoring the young master, but we have never found the opportunity. Besides, we don't know what the young master likes. Recently, I just happened to I got a yellow croaker, and the workmanship is good. I took the liberty of asking you to keep it as a plaything, as it shows your love for us and understands our filial piety. "

Mu Ying pushed Hu Weiyong away: "My father doesn't allow us to collect these, please put them away quickly."

Hu Weiyong had no choice but to take it back, smiled sarcastically, and said, "After all, the young master was raised by a superior, and he strictly abides by his family education."

Not long after, Hu Weiyong's people brought the horses.

Hu Weiyong followed Mu Ying to Zhu Yuanzhang's place.

On the way, Hu Weiyong glanced at Mu Ying gloomily.

Because Muying did not accept his filial piety, he felt frustrated.

To put it bluntly, people like Hu Weiyong who are committed to restoring old rituals want to turn everyone into slaves!

As Zhou Shuren said, the old society was an era that wanted people to become slaves and that allowed people to temporarily secure their status as slaves.

But if Hu Weiyong now wants to be Mu Ying's slave, he must let Mu Ying accept his filial piety.

In this way, he can use Mu Ying's status as his master to boldly enslave those under him and obtain more filial piety and benefits from those under him.

But now, Mu Ying refuses to accept his filial piety and establish a master-servant relationship with him in terms of status. She is only willing to have a colleague relationship with him without the nature of master-servant.

For Hu Weiyong, who was committed to restoring old rituals and wanted the world to become a world only for the landlord class, he was naturally very frustrated and could not tolerate the existence of people like Mu Ying.

However, setbacks are setbacks. Hu Weiyong believes that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang, the supreme leader of the Datong Society, has the ambition to become the master of the world, then people like Mu Ying who pose obstacles to Fuli and have no idea about becoming a human master will be very vulnerable. Easily eliminated.

He was very excited when he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would take the initiative to meet him so soon, and that he would formally join Zhu Yuanzhang's army, become Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant, help Zhu Yuanzhang abolish the Datong Society, and step by step become an emperor in the form of a family and a world.

"The superior should be happy now."

"Mr. Zhang should be feeling very uncomfortable right now."

Hu Weiyong thought in his heart and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

He feels the pleasure of having the world under his control.

He feels that he is worthy of being the smartest person in the world!

And when he arrived at Zhu Yuanzhang's place, Hu Weiyong became even more complacent when he saw Zhang Cheng looking at him with a stern face and Zhu Yuanzhang's expression slightly happy.

Hu Weiyong secretly thought that Zhang Cheng was sullen because he was forced by Zhu Yuanzhang to admit that his status was more humble, while Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly happy because Zhang Cheng did not turn over the table after being framed by his and Luan Feng's conspiracy, and He accepted the rules that he was much lower than him in status.

Therefore, after Hu Weiyong saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng, he knelt down directly to Zhu Yuanzhang, ignored Zhang Cheng, and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, kowtows to the superior!"

According to the current rules of the Datong Society, Hu Weiyong, as a member of the Datong Society and the iron minister of the cabinet, should only have to bow his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang, and at the same time bow his hands to Zhang Cheng, the chief minister of the cabinet.

After all, in the name of reforming etiquette, Datong Society has imposed strict restrictions on kneeling, and requires that kneeling between superiors and subordinates is prohibited.

But now Hu Weiyong decided to look down upon himself and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Zhang Cheng.

He wanted to use this method to express his determination to resume courtesy, and at the same time, he also expressed to Zhu Yuanzhang that he now wanted to be his loyal dog slave.

Hu Weiyong obviously did this because he was eager to be Zhu Yuanzhang's slave, and he was also eager to establish a master-slave relationship.

After all, he had already determined that Zhu Yuanzhang declared to him that he must have made Luan Feng embarrassment for Zhang Cheng and intended to accept him as his slave and confidant through this matter.

Hu Weiyong had even guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely cooperate with him later. He only asked how he conveyed the message to Luan Feng, which caused Mr. Zhang to misunderstand.

And he will definitely need to explain when the time comes, explaining that he misunderstood Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, and then he will kowtow to apologize to Zhang Cheng.

Hu Weiyong was even sure that after he kowtowed to Zhang Cheng to apologize, Zhu Yuanzhang would still act as a peacemaker and persuade Zhang Cheng to forgive him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang only asked coldly at this time: "Why did you falsely convey my decree to Luan Feng to embarrass Mr. Zhang? Luan Feng said that you gave him no less than five thousand taels of silver, but is it true?"

Hu Weiyong was shocked after hearing this.

He didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang actually asked him why he falsely conveyed Jun's decree, and also directly asked him about bribery!
This let him know that Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear that he did not want to cooperate with him, nor did he want to accept him.

"say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang then asked sharply.

"Who gave you the responsibility to collude with our personal guard officers?"

"Who gave you the responsibility to command our personal guards officers without permission?"

"You are a civil servant in the cabinet, and you are not a civil servant in the Tingyi Bureau who can intervene in military aircraft. You can actually let our personal guards start working for you, and even offend Mr. Zhang for you. How dare you be the Duke of Wu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hu Weiyong three more questions in succession.

Hu Weiyong was breaking out in a cold sweat at this time.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng smiled coldly and looked at Hu Weiyong as if he were seeing a joke.
