Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 199: Kill you while you are sick!

"What did you say?"

Hu Weiyong was obviously shocked by the news, and his mind was sluggish, and it seemed that even the thoughts in his mind were interrupted.

He stood up and looked at Li You sharply.

"What's going on? It's just a foreign mission. Why did it get to this point?"

To be fair, Wang Guangyang, as the Right Prime Minister, can be regarded as the best "partner" in his opinion.

The prime minister has realized his position and acts as a good deputy without fighting or grabbing. Although it is said outside that there is only one prime minister in the Zhongshu Province who can make the decision, I look forward to His Majesty choosing another one.

But from his own standpoint, he still hopes that he will always be in office.

of course.

If the Holy Emperor really can't stand him, or if he changes to another prime minister, he will have the confidence to let him become the next Wang Guangyang.

But, not in this sudden or even without warning way.

"Prime Minister, your Majesty is extremely shocked and angry by this matter. It is not just a foreign envoy. What is more important is that your Majesty believes that the tributes paid by foreign countries to your Majesty have been blocked by others, so that your Majesty has no knowledge of it."

"His Majesty even said: Who should take over these tributes?"

The voice just fell.

Hu Weiyong immediately turned pale.

Li You next to him was also a smart man. From these words, he could easily come up with conjectures that horrified him to the extreme.

"Prime Minister!"

Li You hurriedly said: "Today, the Third Division has made up its mind to recapture Su Guiyuan and complete the case. I am afraid that the government officials have been sent out now, but now..."

"Not urgent!"

Listening to the anxious words in his ears, Hu Weiyong calmed down.

"I don't know when the foreign envoys came to the capital."

Li You raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

"These days, the Prime Minister has been busy with the printing plate case. He also has the responsibility of taking care of the transportation of grain and grass for the northern defense, the new salt introduction policy, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and the disasters in various places...these have to be taken over by the Prime Minister."

"The truth is that I don't know anything about this foreign envoy, let alone..." At this point, his expression suddenly changed.

"The truth is that because of the pain of losing a son, it is inevitable that the Prime Minister will neglect state affairs. It is also human nature."

Li You seemed to feel relieved because of these words.

"Yes, that's what the Prime Minister said."

Hu Weiyong sat back again and just kept waiting. He was obviously not feeling well.

Suddenly, he looked at Li You.

"Go and call Chen Ning, the imperial censor, to impeach Wang Guangyang first! Then impeach some of the officials in Zhongshu Province who have delayed official business. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will also be impeached..."

After saying this, Li You could see that he was obviously uneasy and started to defend.

"However, His Majesty already knows about this matter, and it will be up to Chen Ning to impeach..."

Li You kindly reminded me.

Hu Weiyong seemed to have reacted, "Yes, Chen Ning still has official duties, so let the censor Zhongcheng Tujie impeach him!"

"Also...if necessary, you can also impeach the truth!"

Hu Weiyong realized very clearly that what happened this time was completely different from what happened before. So while making a series of reactions, he even shed some of his own feathers.

"The Prime Minister is high!"

Li You's eyes lit up.

This move seems to be that the Prime Minister is putting himself in danger, but on the other hand, it is not to test His Majesty's intention.

In addition, it is just a foreign country and it is enough to deal with a prime minister. Is it possible that you really want to deal with this conscientious Prime Minister Hu who shared the worries of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty?

I am afraid that His Majesty will not like Wang Guangyang himself.

That’s why I did it on purpose through this incident!

While thinking about it, Li You also left in a hurry.

Hu Weiyong sat on the chair and said, "Let Ah He come in!"

His voice was low, but soon, a figure hurriedly walked from the corridor outside.

"master!"

"As soon as possible, clean up all the things they sent to you some time ago, and tell your family to keep your hands and feet clean next time and don't cause any trouble that you shouldn't cause. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes!"

After they left, Hu Weiyong slowly stood up, walked out of the study, and looked at the two maids waiting outside.

"Take off your clothes, I'm going to enter the palace!"

It has to be said that Hu Weiyong was very well prepared. The moment he had just put on his clothes, the palace's order to let Hu Weiyong enter the palace had already arrived.

Hu Weiyong was in a daze.

Once upon a time, he had entered the palace countless times, but he always felt that something was wrong this time.

Hopefully, Yushitai's preparations will be useful.

Perhaps as he thought, His Majesty had long disliked Wang Guangyang.

Think of this.

He raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky.

After spending several years in the government and the public, in making decisions about the world and various government affairs, he can be said to be truly one person inferior to ten thousand people.

He knows very well where his power comes from.

“Sometimes, I really wish I didn’t have to be controlled by others!”

Thinking like this.

Hu Weiyong entered the palace soon...

……

At the same time, Yushitai.

Chen Ning took action quickly after hearing the news.

He immediately found Zhao Ting, the young minister of Dali Temple, and others, who had obviously heard the news from the palace.

But it is different from Hu Weiyong being in the game.

"What do you two think?"

Chen Ning looked at the two of them. During this period, they had been following the Prime Minister to investigate the printing case, and they were already familiar with each other. Among the three, Chen Ning and Hu Weiyong had the closest relationship.

Zhao Ting, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, wanted to take this opportunity to have closer contact with them, so this time he was working hard and preparing for a big fight. Many times he rushed to the front as a vanguard!

Some of the bold evidence-gathering methods were also his own.

But at the moment.

"If His Majesty really said that foreign missions would pay tribute, then this would be worth pondering."

Zhao Ting changed his attitude quickly, while the two of them were still speculating.

He immediately changed his tune.

"At this point in time, it's better to stay the same and cope with the ever-changing situation. How about we stop arresting Su Guiyuan and let this matter go through first?"

He knew very well what they were doing here, and during this period he almost forced the case to move forward.

As a result, now, I heard bad news about Hu Xiang...

In fact, the three people present did not say a word, and this was precisely what they could see most clearly from the outside, but they all understood each other tacitly.

Could it be that His Majesty did this intentionally just because of the matter regarding Wei Guogong...

Just thinking about this aspect for a moment, I suddenly felt the tension in my heart, almost swallowing me up.

"Indeed, go ahead and wait!" Shen Liben, the Minister of Punishment, also said.

Chen Ning looked a little gloomy and was about to refuse.

But at this time, Li You happened to pay a hurried visit and told everything Hu Weiyong said.

The three of them relaxed briefly.

"It seems that the Prime Minister has been prepared for a long time, so it depends on the actions of Yushitai."

Both of them said so.

After Chen Ning heard about it, he returned to the Yushitai as soon as possible.

Summoning a few close confidants, plus Tu Jie, who had already been promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng, they immediately began to make plans.

The memorial must be written as soon as possible, not only to calm the wrath of the Holy Spirit, but also to calm the turmoil.

The bones must be scraped properly so that the Prime Minister can completely escape.

After all, since Wang Guangyang was promoted to Prime Minister You and concurrently served as the Censor of Zhongshu Shengyou. Because of his indifference to everything, Yushitai has long been the territory of Prime Minister Hu.

Thinking like this, several people racked their brains.

……

"The Prime Minister is saying that you don't know about this matter either?"

at the same time.

Hu Weiyong had already arrived in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

There was no communication. After he came in, Zhu Yuanzhang got straight to the point.

And he himself was obviously mentally prepared and told all the reasons that came to his mind at home. However, unexpectedly, when he was saying this, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and another prime minister Wang Guangyang were also here, listening to his words.

It seemed to these two that His Majesty was really prepared to sentence them to death, and he didn't mind letting them hear this.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to ask Your Majesty. I also know that even if I don't know, it is not a reason."

"That's what it means."

Zhu Yuanzhang went from being angry just now to being much calmer now.

"Then what do you think?"

As he spoke, he looked at Honglu Temple Shaoqing and Wang Guangyang.

"Your Majesty, I have really reported this matter. Honglu Temple has not yet left the ability for foreign countries to pay tribute." The former is still the same as before.

But Wang Guangyang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and didn't say a word.

"It seems that our right prime minister is really negligent. Prime Minister Hu has already experienced the pain of losing his son, but you are still addicted to wine and sex. It seems that you really don't like to worry about the country."

Saw this scene.

Hu Weiyong couldn't help but feel secretly happy. At this point, it seemed that the matter was finally over.

To put it bluntly, it was still a false alarm.

However, at the court meeting tomorrow, what should be reported still needs to be reported. The matter must be discussed on a small scale and completely decided in front of the ministers.

In this way, there is no need to worry about settling the scores later.

Thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said:
"But, you collected those foreign tributes for us and didn't tell us, so you have to find them anyway, right?"

While talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already looked at Hu Weiyong, "Hu Xiang, what do you think?"

"Yes...that's the truth."

He rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if we don't take this case, let the Third Division continue..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking at him.

"No! Mao Xiang has already gone to check. He can always find it."

Hu Weiyong's expression changed, but the next moment, he returned to normal.

On the surface, it seemed that he was really worried, but at this moment, he was really relieved in his heart.

really!

After a while, Mao Xiang had returned.

"Your Majesty, it has been verified that most of the news about tributes from foreign countries are rumors in the capital. The tributes from foreign countries are still left in Beiyuan of Xishi City, except for some envoys who have returned..."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang, "Really?"

He looked at the former carefully and his tone gradually became calmer.

"But our Ming Dynasty has really become a joke!"

"The foreigners who came to pay tribute stayed in the capital for such a long time, but we didn't know anything about it..."

"Who hid the news?"

After hearing these words, Hu Weiyong's heart suddenly lifted up after he had just let go.

Why is Your Majesty so busy with this matter?

Is this necessary?
But while he was having doubts, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes sweeping over him and Wang Guangyang.

"How can the two prime ministers escape punishment by saying that they don't know?"

"During this period, you two should think carefully..."

While talking.

He waved.

For a moment, Mao Xiang was stunned.

Not only him, but also Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang themselves stood stunned on the spot.

The latter was fine, as he knew his fate just now, but Hu Weiyong entered the palace today, but he still wanted to prepare for tomorrow.

Even in his opinion, after he said it, His Majesty would definitely let him go. After all, it was excusable.

But now...

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his words had gone out, but Mao Xiang had not taken any action. He held back his temper and suddenly asked: "Isn't our meaning clear enough?"

Mao Xiang's heart trembled and he reacted suddenly.

"The minister obeys the order!"

As he spoke, he suppressed the expression of horror that surged in his heart.

After they looked at each other, they both saw the horror in their eyes.

In terms of action, Mao Xiang did not hesitate at all. He just waved his hand, and soon someone stepped forward to take action.

……

And at the same time.

"Your Majesty is angry and lets Wang Guangyang enter the palace..."

"Death penalty!"

"Hu Weiyong enters the palace..."

"Three groups of troops have arrived..."

Su Xian looked at the news one after another in front of him.

He was very sure what time it was now.

He raised his head and looked at the darkening sky.

It was too messy and too fast!

Although I have been prepared in my heart, when I actually face these things, especially those recorded in history, there is no doubt that they are the key points of the largest case in the Hongwu period.

Su Xian was also a little stunned.

Although there is also my own handwriting in it.

"One last piece of news needs to be confirmed!"

now.

Su Xian murmured in his heart, "Hit the snake seven inches away, if you don't take action, you will hit with thunder if you make a gesture, and it will be a blockbuster!"
This is the truth he realized during this period.

But far from this real critical point, there is another most critical information - Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.

Just as I was thinking about it.

Sudden.

Liu Er was in a hurry, and Su Xian saw a little panic on the face of the honest young man for the first time in these days.

"Master, the troops from the Third Division are here again!"

"Yeah." Su Xian was not surprised when he heard this.

"I have already gone out to negotiate, but judging from their appearance, they say that I am also involved in Wei Guogong's case, so they want me to go with them."

"Young Master, weren't we already exonerated some time ago? This time they are so powerful that they have made it clear and they are convinced."

Seeing the other person's panic expression.

Su Xian also stood up and walked to take a look outside.

While thinking about it, Su Xian stood up immediately, but had not yet reached the door.

But I saw the steward of the family running over in a hurry.

"Master, it's okay, it's okay!"

"What's wrong?" Su Xian was confused.

"They heard the order again and were ready to leave."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Liu Er immediately became happy.

After Su Xian was stunned for a moment, Bai Jue suddenly ran over from the other direction and handed Su Xian a note, then stood there excitedly.

Su Xian opened it and just took a look.

He hurriedly walked directly to the door.

now.

The three troops were about to leave.

"Wait!"

Su Guiyuan turned around, and even Wu Xiu, who was worried about the surprise at this moment, also looked at Su Xian.

The latter's eyes were extremely anxious, and he secretly wondered why Xian'er suddenly came out to cause trouble at this time.

However, Su Xian ignored them.

Instead, he looked at those people and said directly:

"You've come here, and now you're leaving empty-handed?"

"We're going with you!"
