Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden enthusiasm, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, and was really caught off guard.

"You have just recovered from a serious injury. There is no need to be so polite. Get up quickly!"

"Pang Yuhai, give me a seat, give me a seat!"

Zhu Yuanzhang personally helped Hu Fei up and said loudly to Pang Yuhai.

Hearing this, Pang Yuhai hurriedly brought a chair and placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's couch.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness, Hu Fei smiled and sat on the chair, somewhat flattered.

"How's it going? I heard that your injury has healed?"

After the enthusiasm subsided, Zhu Yuanzhang also sat on the couch, looked at Hu Fei, and asked kindly.

"Thank you for your concern, Father. I have basically recovered."

Hu Fei smiled and replied slowly.

"That's good, that's good."

"In the battle at Jiming Mountain, you made the first contribution. Not only did you resolve the danger of the Meritorious Temple, but you also greatly established the majesty of our Ming Dynasty. I am very pleased."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said in approval.

"It is my honor to be able to relieve my father's worries, and it is a matter of course. You are so polite all of a sudden, and I can't help but feel a little scared."

Hu Fei smiled awkwardly and said seriously.

Suddenly seeing Zhu Yuanzhang being so polite to him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"You have made such a great contribution and barely spent a single soldier. You deserve such praise. Tell me, what reward do you want?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, stroked his beard, and asked loudly.

"Serving the imperial court and serving the emperor is what a son and minister should do, and we dare not expect extravagant rewards."

Hu Fei cupped his hands and said seriously.

"Don't do this in front of me. I don't know what you are thinking. It's not that you don't want a reward, but you want to see if my reward is in line with your wishes!"

"I will definitely reward you this time. You are not allowed to refuse again! I promise you that I will no longer reward you with an official position, but only reward you with what you want!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly, waved his hand and said.

"In that case, did you really say that?"

Hu Fei smiled and said hesitantly.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said loudly.

"Since Your Majesty must reward you, then give more rewards to the soldiers who followed me in the battle at Jiming Mountain this time."

Hu Fei smiled and said slowly, gradually becoming serious.

"them?"

"how about you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked slowly.

"My sons and ministers don't want anything. They worked hard this time and were not afraid of death. The difficulties in Jiming Mountain can be solved, and they are also indispensable."

Hu Fei said with emotion.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little moved, with a trace of relief on his face.

"I've heard about it too. Although no one thought highly of them at first, under your leadership, they did work wonders. Even Wen Zhong praised them highly."

"Who would have thought that a group of soldiers at the lowest level in the army could actually compete with more than a hundred Beiyuan spies!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a look of relief.

"Regardless of where the heroes come from, no matter how humble their status is, they are still soldiers of my Ming Dynasty. Since they are soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, there are no useless people. As long as the court needs it and your majesty needs it, no matter where they are, they can fight to the death. Fight and never back down!”

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said firmly.

"Just like you, no matter what position you hold or whether you have a heavy responsibility, you have never let me down every time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"My son once said that no matter whether he is in the Six Ministries or not, or in the court or not, as long as my father needs it, I will do my best!"

Hu Fei nodded and said loudly.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little moved, because Hu Fei did say such words and did what he said.

"However, after the Jiming Mountain incident, Erchen's mind has changed slightly."

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei changed the subject and spoke slowly.

"Oh? How to say it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"After the battle at Jiming Mountain, I felt that it might be time to truly serve the imperial court. Especially after knowing about the Chunqiu Tang organization, powerful enemies were everywhere. Since I had martial arts skills, I should naturally do my best for my father.

!”

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, suddenly became extremely serious, and said categorically.

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of joy. This was what he had long wanted to see.

"Tell me, which one of the six departments do you want to enter, or do you want to join the army?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and asked loudly. He had decided that whether Hu Fei wanted to join the Sixth Ministry of Officials or join the army today, he would agree!

"My son will neither join the six tribes nor join the army."

But then Hu Fei shook his head and said, rejecting all Zhu Yuanzhang's proposals.

"Then how do you want to serve the court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"Please ask my father to abolish the inspection school and establish a new department. I am willing to take charge of it on my father's behalf and work for my father!"

Hu Fei bowed his hands and said seriously.

But after hearing Hu Fei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being stunned, and then he frowned slightly, with a trace of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Do you know what the abolition of school inspections means?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly with a stern face. The joy and admiration on his face had long since disappeared, and instead turned to bone-chilling coldness.

"My son knows that, as an independent entity from the six ministries, the inspection school has made great contributions to my father over the years, and is responsible for supervising all officials. It is very important to the court and has won the trust of my father."

Hu Fei nodded and said seriously.

"Since you know it, why do you want me to abolish it!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a stern face.

"Father, inspection is indeed important and indispensable, but due to its existence over the years, all officials in the court are very afraid of it, and even talk about it with a change of expression."

"Although it has the ability to supervise hundreds of officials, it makes many officials timid and have no achievements. They are just worried that if they are not careful, they will be caught by the inspector and lose their lives."

"The name of the school is no longer what it used to be. It has been regarded by hundreds of officials as a means for the father to consolidate imperial power and has lost its justice."

"How many people are in their positions but do nothing to save their lives? Is this a situation that my father wants to see?"

"If the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty do nothing, the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty will surely be in trouble!"

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, his voice was full of emotion, and he said without hesitation.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, speechless.

Pang Yuhai on the side turned even pale and lowered his head in fear.

There have been people who have suggested the abolition of inspection schools before. Although they were all rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang, no one has ever dared to speak so bluntly, because the slightest carelessness is a serious crime of beheading!

"But Father, don't worry. The Jinyiwei can also be independent of the six departments. They can only listen to the orders of Father. They can also supervise all officials, but in a more tactful way, rather than arbitrarily confiscating homes and exterminating clans."

"I hope that the Jin Yiwei can not only supervise the officials, but also take on the responsibility of guarding the palace and treating the people well. Since there is the Spring and Autumn Hall in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, then I will have the Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty. One day, there will be only the Jin Yiwei in the world, and there will no longer be the Spring and Autumn Period.

Tang!"

Hu Fei looked at the silent Zhu Yuanzhang and continued, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"How long have you been planning this?"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't plan anything, I just suddenly realized something after being seriously injured in Jiming Mountain."

"If the father feels that what I have said is unreasonable, just pretend that I have never mentioned it. If the father feels that I have ulterior motives, I can choose someone else to take charge of the royal guards. I will have no complaints."

"Everything I think about is for my father, the court, and the Ming Dynasty. I ask my father to give me advice."

Hu Fei bowed respectfully and said seriously.

He could tell that Zhu Yuanzhang was already tempted, but the incident happened suddenly and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"The abolition of the school is of great importance. I can't give you an answer yet. Let me think about it and discuss it later."

"If you have nothing to do, please step back first."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looked at Hu Fei and pondered for a moment, and then said slowly.

"My son, please retire."

Hu Fei cupped his hands, bowed respectfully, then stood up and slowly retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the couch and watched Hu Fei leave with a solemn expression, a cold light flashing in his eyes...
