Chapter 352 Conspiracy trap
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Now send someone to rush to Fengyang quickly, and spread out everything that happened in the court today, as well as what Liu Chun did in Cangyang."
Zhu Biaoying said: "I understand that before we arrive in Fengyang, we must let all the people in Fengyang Mansion know about this situation, and Liu Ying will also say hello."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say any more, his son was safe and thoughtful, and always learned from one example, and he didn't need to worry too much about the details of many things.
At this time, Liu Jin came in again to report: "My lord, the three His Royal Highnesses, King Jin, King Chu, King Qi, are kneeling outside begging to see you."
Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly ordered: "Call in, there will probably be other princes and princesses in a while, so don't stop them."
Liu Jin bowed and left as promised. After a while, the three brothers of the Zhu family came in with red eyes. Zhu Biao looked at it with a smile for a while and then left silently. There are still many things to do.
Go directly to the Hall of Martial Arts and sit down, and send someone to hear Hu Weiyong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and Mao Xiang. While waiting, he ate a few pieces of snacks brought by Liu Jin. He was naturally hungry after being busy for so long.
When Zhu Biao was half full, Mao Xiang would arrive. Zhu Biao looked at his smooth salutation and said, "Excuse me, immediately use the spies and inspectors in the capital and Fengyang mansion to report today's court affairs. Spread it out, Shengjia will leave for Fengyang tomorrow, so it must be completed before Shengjia arrives."
Mao Xiang immediately promised loudly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the inspection schools in Fengyang Mansion are full of three religions and nine streams. Once the order arrives, it only takes three days to complete the task."
Zhu Biao's face was flat: "You go there yourself, Yihuihou has to explain the pros and cons, don't force him, but don't make him think anything he shouldn't have, understand?"
Mao Xiang's face turned bitter, but he agreed immediately. As a subject, he only had to do things according to orders. No matter how difficult it was, he had to find a way to solve it. There was absolutely no room for pushback.
After finishing speaking, Mao Xiang left. He had to go straight to Fengyang now. At this time, he happened to meet Hu Weiyong and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice who rushed over.
Hu Weiyong and Chen Mingjie, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, bowed and bowed down after entering the hall: "I will pay my respects to His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness."
Zhu Biaoxu helped and said: "The two lovers are exempt from courtesy. This palace has heard about Hu Xiang's handling, and it is very safe. It's just that Dali Temple and the Tongzheng Envoy cannot be without their chief officials for a day. Let Yan Donglai and Chen Youzong be released first. , As for Yu Shi Han Qi and others, they will be temporarily detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment according to Hu Xiang's wishes."
Hu Weiyong also knew that it was impossible for the crown prince to abandon his two confidantes because of such a trivial matter. Moreover, Hu Weiyong also confirmed that it was just a farce. I am afraid that Han Qi and the others will be released after the matter is resolved. reputation.
Seeing that after Hu Weiyong took the order, Chen Mingjie, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped forward and asked, "I don't know how to arrange these censors during this period. Is it according to the prisoner's charter or..."
Hu Weiyong and Chen Mingjie immediately bowed and said: "The sage is benevolent and generous, and your highness is pure, filial and wise, and he is indeed a model for ministers and others."
After finishing speaking, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment glanced at Hu Weiyong who was on the side, and then took the initiative to leave: "Then I will release Yan Donglai and Chen Youzong first, and the rest will be arranged according to His Highness's wishes."
Zhu Biao nodded, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice bowed away. Only Hu Weiyong was left in the hall. Zhu Biao told him about the departure to Fengyang tomorrow. The prime minister.
After Hu Weiyong listened to it, he understood that Liu Chun must die, and now the royal family is going to turn this matter from disadvantage to advantage: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Your Highness, during the time when the second monarch leaves the capital, I will definitely appease all the officials, and there will never be any more What other voice."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Of course I can trust Prime Minister Hu. Recently, there are a lot of government affairs inside and outside the court, but Fengyang has to go, so it will take a lot of hard work for Prime Minister Hu."
Hu Weiyong also cupped his hands and said: "It is only natural to serve the king, and you are not afraid of hard work even if you die. Your Highness is too polite."
Zhu Biao babbled on the ink for a long time, while Hu Weiyong agreed with a smile. After he left, Zhu Biao's face suddenly calmed down, and Liu Jin on the side lowered his head and poured a new cup of tea.
Zhu Biao picked up the teacup and didn't drink it. It was just a habitual action. He was still thinking about the problem after leaving Beijing. It stands to reason that Zhu Biao didn't need to go. Then it is necessary to leave the supervisor to manage the country, otherwise if something goes wrong, the situation will be turned upside down.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still decided to take him with him. The only reason was to create opportunities for Hu Weiyong. After all, with the two of them in Beijing, Hu Weiyong, the leftist, had little room to play.
At first, I was thinking about what reason to use, but now Liu Chun has sent it up, especially those censors who have been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. In the end, the power to check and balance the prime minister is gone. After tomorrow, for a period of time, In the central organization of Daming, it is Hu Weiyong who covers the sky with one hand.
This is the trap that Zhu Yuanzhang set up after encountering an unexpected accident. Hu Weiyong currently has ambitions, but after all, he is still the ambition of a courtier. Now he is basically satisfied, and Lao Zhu is continuing to stimulate Hu Weiyong's ambition, hoping that his ambition will be bigger.
He is planning to use Hu Weiyong to mobilize and eliminate all disasters that could threaten his descendants in the future, so as to ensure that the regime change of the Ming Dynasty can pass smoothly within a hundred years.
It could have been Li Shanchang, after all, he is far more suitable than Hu Weiyong, especially among the nobles in Huaixi, his influence is not lower than Xu Da and others, but Lao Zhu still misses the friendship between the two of them for half a lifetime.
In addition, Li Shanchang himself discovered it in advance. This old fox knew that the future was dangerous. After he became the left prime minister, he pushed Hu Weiyong, an ambitious guy, to the front desk. .
But Hu Weiyong is different. This person is greedy for power and will never let it go easily. In addition, the court has become more and more powerful in purging officials, and the rest of the officials are trembling. Only he will not sit and wait for death. He will definitely recruit his party members, and if there are many party members, he will be out of control in the end.
There are too many involuntary things in this world. Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe is the most typical example. He became the master of one party's power. He not only has the life and death of his subordinates, but also assumes the responsibility of leading them to enjoy the wealth and power. The two sides want each other fulfilled.
