Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 193: Different from history

"Xiaocheng! Xiaocheng!"

The first time he saw it, Hu Weiyong suddenly froze in place. He murmured and his eyes became dull.

This is his son, who was excitedly saying that he was going to do something big this morning.

But now...

Finally, Hu Weiyong couldn't bear it anymore and staggered to his side. He wanted to bend down and help his son up, but he still couldn't do it.

Seeing this situation in front of them, even the people around him felt mixed emotions.

After all, it is the relationship between father and son. Even though the prime minister has too many domineering reputations, these are far away from ordinary people like them.

Actually.

If Hu Xiaocheng hadn't been too high-profile in the past and galloped through the busy city in the capital, he wouldn't have caused much resentment among the people.

Hu Weiyong still couldn't hide his grief, "Give me the stick to kill this beast!"

When he raised his head again, he saw that Hu Weiyong had bent down, grabbed the glazed porcelain piece on the ground, and smashed it on his head!
"Click" sound!
The fragments of glass that were already broken hit the opponent's head and immediately fell apart again.

Although he only repeated these four words, he believed that Hu Weiyong could understand them.

at last.

And this moment.

"Master Xiang!"

Right now, there is only endless sadness and anger in my heart.

Of course, the premise is that one’s wealth and life are not involved!

And about Hu Xiaocheng himself.

And blood oozed from his head.

The groom was already kneeling on the spot, his body trembling with fear, and when he heard the question, he quickly raised his head.

"Bad servant!"

"The young master wanted to drive the carriage himself. The horse was frightened and turned over. If there were not those colored glasses, if the young master was sitting in it..."

No matter how much the Prime Minister is the head of the hundred officials, he is not invincible!

Most of the people saw this, but secretly cursed in their hearts: "What a death!"

Not to mention, at this critical juncture.

However, Hu Weiyong was still angry, but he closed his eyes, as if he really listened to the advice!
……

Just then.

He roared sadly, and soon a guard came forward, holding a weapon in his hand and about to strike with a knife!
"Prime Minister!"

"Just...what happened just now?"

"Prime Minister, please calm down. You must not do it. You must not do it..."

however.

Hu Weiyong ignored the other party at all and was about to let the guards next to him continue to kill.

Hu Weiyong cursed angrily, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and sadness in his chest.

But Li You suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and stopped him again:

After all, the people don't pay much attention to who the prime minister is. Even if the confrontation between these big figures spreads to the people, it is just a matter of conversation after dinner.

It is not easy for the Prime Minister of a country to kill someone, but often he has to distinguish the occasion. This Ming Dynasty is, after all, His Majesty's Ming Dynasty.

Su Xian also hid in the crowd, watching here, because there were too many people, and people who heard the news kept coming.

This is the capital, and there are ten thousand pairs of eyes watching, in broad daylight. If the prime minister kills him with a stick himself, the impact of this will be really big trouble.

"If the master dies and the slave dies, what are you doing alive?" He said these words in a cold tone.

He also wanted an explanation.

The groom's expression was even more horrified, as if he had a premonition that a disaster was coming, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"roll!"

But occasionally I raised my head and found that Hu Xiang's eyes were getting colder and colder. He couldn't say a word and quickly said in horror: "It's the villain's fault. It's the villain who didn't take care of me..."

next moment.

aside.

But Li You, who had been watching from behind, hurried forward.

But the latter didn't say a word.

He knew that Hu Weiyong could not persuade him now, but he had no choice.

Hu Weiyong suppressed his sadness and asked the imperial doctor to continue the diagnosis and treatment. Although he had just accepted the answer, he still couldn't look at Hu Xiaocheng's body and admit that the other party was dead.

"You are the Prime Minister! You are the Prime Minister!"

There were also people he knew well during this period, so he was not worried about being discovered suddenly.

Besides, this matter really has nothing to do with me.

just now.

He had followed Hu Xiaocheng all the way. Although he had made up his mind, he asked Liu Er to take action in advance and was ready to take the initiative to participate.

After all, there is not much time left before the Hu Weiyong case. Detonating the matter in advance can end it faster.

Because he has discovered that His Majesty really seems to want to use this to expand and then stop.

But if this continues, no one can be sure how far the situation will go.

however.

I just asked.

Although Liu Er secretly prepared to take action, before he could actually take action, he saw that the carriage rolled over at the intersection because it was traveling too fast...

The scene happened before my eyes.

Su Xian's behavior was both reasonable and unexpected.

According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang should be questioned next.

However, what made Su Xian more and more confused was the appearance of Li You, who seemed to have stopped Hu Weiyong.

……

While thinking about it.

"Bring back Xiaocheng!"

Hu Weiyong's voice was hoarse, and his tone no longer contained the sadness and anger just now, but remained unusually calm.

"What happened today? The truth must be found out."

"Enclose this place first, no one is allowed to disturb it!"

"Also, if I see the whole story of how Xiaocheng fell off the carriage today, I will ask everyone. I want to hear the answer."

After he finished speaking, he staggered back a few steps, as if he was about to fall down at any time. Seeing this, Li You quickly stood up to help him.

Subsequently, under the eyes of everyone, this sudden "scene" was immediately chased away by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Su Xian was among them, after leaving this place.

Liu Er and Liu San also followed him. They wanted to speak several times, but they held back.

Su Xian ignored them and walked towards home.

Go home.

Although Su Guiyuan had nothing to do during this period, he had gotten used to it over the past few months, so he took a good rest.

And he soon heard about Hu Xiaocheng's incident. After being stunned for a moment, he sighed, "This happened at this time. I don't know if it was God opening his eyes or something..."

"However, maybe it can also make the Duke of Wei relax for a while."

Su Guiyuan judged subconsciously.

However, Su Xian always had a question in his mind.

What happened today was actually beyond his judgment.

Originally, he thought that after Hu Xiaocheng's death, Hu Weiyong was so filled with grief and anger that he wanted to execute the groom as well!

And the next thing is what I just thought about. Zhu Yuanzhang took action and killed the groom in broad daylight, saying "a murder must be punished with a life".

But he never expected that the matter would take a turn. "I'm afraid not!"

Su Xian replied: "This matter is abnormal. Logically speaking, shouldn't the prime minister kill the groom in anger?"

Su Guiyuan was also a little strange.

But he did understand, "Didn't you just say that someone persuaded you? Maybe he realized it."

"Maybe, when we return to the mansion, we can kill him for any reason."

"He is a groom after all. It will not be easy for the Prime Minister to kill him, but this court may also undergo major changes in the near future."

"The prime minister didn't know what to do when he was angry..."

Su Xian nodded, "Yes, killing a groom is nothing. And although Hu Xiaocheng is his son, Hu Weiyong does not have only one son."

This is the case in this era. Although children are close relatives of flesh and blood, when there are too many sons, the family ties will be scattered.

Therefore, although Hu Weiyong will be extremely sad, he should be able to adjust quickly.

"Ugh!"

Sudden.

Su Guiyuan sighed, not knowing what he was thinking. There was a faint worry between his eyebrows.

Su Xian subconsciously wanted to ask.

But seeing that he had already spoken out, "I can see that Hu Weiyong clearly wants to make the printing plate case bigger and bigger. If he wants to drag Wei Guogong into this case, ordinary charges will definitely not work."

"I'm afraid it's one of the few serious crimes. If once it is really committed..."

He didn't say anything else.

He was released from prison in Dali Temple not because he was truly innocent.

But because he was temporarily released, the death-free treasure note can exempt him from death for ordinary crimes.

However, there are always a few major crimes. Not to mention the treasure notes that will save you from death. Even if you have a thousand iron coupons of elixirs, they will not be able to save you from death.

In his opinion.

Duke Guo of Wei is now almost their "testing stone".

It's okay if nothing happens.

Once something goes wrong, it will prove that crimes involving the Nine Clans are about to come...

"Don't worry so much."

Knowing what his father was thinking, Su Xian still advised: "As long as the main force of Beiyuan is still there, we don't need to worry about Wei Guogong in a short time."

"That's the truth!"

Su Guiyuan nodded and let go of his thoughts.

……

And at the same time.

"Xu Mansion!"

The three divisions, which were originally sworn in, are now in a stalemate.

Zhao Tingyi did not see His Majesty, and when he came back, the Prime Minister encountered that kind of tragedy again.

Naturally, he couldn't come forward and mention this "official business"!
Finally, when I came to the Xu Mansion again, I was staring at him with big eyes and small eyes.

Xu Da had also heard this and was just a little surprised. After all, he had seen a lot of life and death.

He just glanced at Sansi and then said coldly:
"Although the Third Division can ignore the curfew, if you stand outside my Xu Mansion all night... Humph! Wei Guogong hasn't decided the crime yet!"

As he said this, he returned home without looking back.

Brothers Xu Huizu, Xu Yingxu and other brothers immediately stepped forward. Xu Miaoqing and Xu Miaojin were also worried.

On the other hand, Xu Da burst out laughing.

"What are you afraid of? Don't worry, you should eat and drink as you should, our Xu Mansion wants to survive with the country forever!"

……

late at night.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not shown up for a day, finally returned to Kunning Palace in the evening.

Once inside.

I saw Queen Ma frowning, and the food on the table was untouched. It looked like she hadn't eaten at all.

As for his own son, not only the eldest son is here, but even the fourth son is also present.

The first time I saw him.

The two brothers immediately stepped forward, "Father...where have you been?"

"Ha..." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, as if he had no idea what happened today, but pointed behind him.

Only then did they see that there were several young father-in-laws following him into Kunning Palace, carrying Zhu Xiongying who was already sleeping...

Seeing this, Queen Ma quickly asked them to hand over her grandson to the palace maid, and then asked the latter to take her back to rest.

Then she said angrily: "During this period, you have been playing crazy with your grandson! But do you know what kind of chaos this capital is?"

"Ah? What's the mess?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly didn't know, he just sat down. He seemed to be really hungry. He quickly picked up the chopsticks and started eating without washing his hands.

"Father!"

Zhu Di couldn't help it any longer, "The Third Division is really brave. Today, they went to search the Duke of Wei's mansion based on rumors. They also claimed to have found evidence of crimes. They wanted to ask the military commander's mansion to investigate in person. Not only that, but also Put your father-in-law in jail!"

"Oh? Is this the case?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head.

"Okay, stop pretending to be stupid!" Queen Ma was a little angry, "As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you can just ignore state affairs during this period. I can take it as you want to take a rest. But you don't do this. Connivance The officials below are suspicious of each other."

"Our Ming Dynasty has not yet stabilized, and those so-called party disputes in the previous dynasty have appeared? Do you know what has become of this court? Hu Xiang and his party want to take back all the civil and military officials!"

"As for Wei Guogong, he has become a big worry for them!"

"If you continue like this, you, the emperor, will really be able to spend all your time looking at flowers, admiring the moon, hunting and fishing, but you can no longer get involved in state affairs!"

Finished saying this.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little angry. What was the difference between pointing his nose and scolding him?

"What do you know? Of course we have our own reasons!"

"besides……"

"What else?" Queen Ma followed closely: "Don't think that I don't know the thoughts in your heart. I just want to deliberately indulge and play with fire!"

"But I also tell you, those who play with fire can certainly burn them all in one go, but if they are not careful, they will burn themselves by playing with fire!"

"Sister!" At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table.

But I couldn't eat anymore.

"You didn't point your finger at me and scold me like this? Why are we playing with it? Besides, what do you know? How many times have I told you about a woman's opinions?"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! Look at what you just said. Are you playing with fire and burning yourself? Who can let us burn ourselves?"

"it is good!"

Queen Ma was not to be outdone. This fight between husband and wife seemed to have really touched the taboos when it came to the two major groups of the country and the dynasty.

"Then let me tell you, Your Majesty, who is obsessed with hunting in the mountains all day long... Do you know that Hu Weiyong's son, Hu Xiaocheng, suddenly fell off the carriage and died on the way to transport colored glaze today?"

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer pretended not to know anything.

"So what if he knows? Huh! We haven't settled the score with him yet? Doesn't he know how the people think of his son these years?"

"We've been waiting for this..."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a touch of indifference for the first time, and even a sneer.

"Ha! Are you waiting?"

Queen Ma seemed to know what he was thinking, "You want to say that you violated the law by waiting for him to deal with the groom, and you took this opportunity to make trouble?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing.

But see you next moment.

"But do you know that if he holds back, he will come back again..."

"It was Xu Da who sent people to interfere, let his son die, and hindered his investigation of the case. What do you think?"
