Chapter 379: Zhu Yuanzhang’s Decision(1/2)
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Father, is there something on your mind?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who had not continued to speak, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly.
"Did you see it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile, but his smile was not natural.
"My father summoned his ministers to the palace today, probably just to make my father worried, right?"
"I don't know what my father is worried about, but I will do my best to relieve my father's worries."
Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said seriously.
"Well, among my several sons, you are the only one who understands my father's thoughts best, so I have always liked you the most. Unlike the second and third sons, who only waste time on people and money all day long, and only seek their own temporary happiness."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said thoughtfully.
However, although King Jin and King Qin were mentioned, King Yan was not mentioned.
"The second brother and the third brother are still young after all, so they don't understand my father's painstaking efforts. I think they will understand sooner or later in the future."
Zhu Biao raised his hands and said seriously.
"Okay, let's not mention them anymore."
"I called you here today to ask you whether Hu Fei is a trustworthy person?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, changed the subject, and asked seriously.
Faced with his father's sudden question, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"My son wants to know if my father plans to reuse him?"
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and asked slowly.
"The day before yesterday, when Hu Fei entered the palace, he suddenly changed his normal attitude and expressed to me his determination to serve the imperial court. I was inevitably a little surprised, so I wanted to ask you what you meant."
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, without being too straightforward.
"Hu Fei also revealed this to Erchen. After returning to Beijing from Jiming Mountain, Erchen visited him at the Princess Mansion. At that time, he said that after the battle at Jiming Mountain, he suddenly felt that it was time
Do something for the imperial court."
"It seems that he has also expressed his loyalty to his father. Although I am surprised to have such a change, I think it is reasonable."
Zhu Biao smiled and said slowly.
"Do you think he really wants to serve the court?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked into Zhu Biao's eyes and asked seriously.
"At least according to Erchen, that's the case."
Zhu Biao nodded and said without thinking.
"But do you know what he told me after entering the palace?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with a slightly solemn expression and asked slowly.
"What?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and asked with some doubts.
His intuition told him that Hu Fei must have said something important.
"He asked me to abolish the inspection school and form a new department called Jinyiwei. In addition to being responsible for inspecting the school and supervising hundreds of officials, he also worked for the people and even had to confront the Chunqiu Hall of Beiyuan."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said slowly.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao was suddenly stunned, and then his face changed drastically.
He guessed that Hu Fei might say something shocking, but he didn't expect that it would be so shocking as soon as he said it.
"Are you surprised too?"
Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Biao and asked slowly.
"My son, I really didn't expect something."
Zhu Biao nodded and answered slowly.
However, he suddenly realized that when his father talked about this point, he did not get angry or even complain.
"But what a coincidence, what he mentioned actually coincided with my thoughts."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said incomprehensibly.
"Father has also thought about abolishing the inspection school?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and was surprised again.
"Hu Fei is right. In the past two years, officials in both the DPRK and the Central Government have indeed changed their attitude towards the school inspection, and it is indeed time to make some changes."
"Unexpectedly, he actually thought of it with me and was willing to take charge of the Imperial Guard for me."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said slowly.
"In that case, what are you still worried about?"
Zhu Biao hesitated and asked slowly.
"I want to ask you, do you think Hu Fei is worthy of my trust? Should Jin Yiwei be put in charge of him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked seriously.
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Biao became a little silent for a moment, frowning slightly and thinking seriously.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not urge him, but quietly waited for the answer. The prince's opinion was very important to him.
"My minister feels that Hu Fei is indeed a rare talent. Instead of letting him go, it is better to cultivate him. Perhaps, he can one day become a pillar of the imperial court."
"At least for now, he is a trustworthy candidate. If we really need to use Jin Yiwei to replace the school inspector, he is the best candidate."
After Zhu Biao pondered for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said in detail.
After hearing Zhu Biao's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and then nodded slowly.
"I know what to do."
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and said thoughtfully.
Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing more.
After the two chatted for a while, Zhu Biao said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and left the Yangxin Hall with a different mood.
As soon as Zhu Biao left, Han Jiang, the commander of the school inspection, was summoned into the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I am here to see Your Majesty!"
After Han Jiang entered the palace, he bowed respectfully and said loudly.
"Get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Jiang, waved his hand and said.
Han Jiang agreed and stood up slowly. After noticing Zhu Yuanzhang's strange gaze, his expression couldn't help but become a little unnatural.
"I summoned you to the palace today to give you a task."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Jiang and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, if you have any orders, just say so. Even if you are a humble minister, you will die without hesitation!"
Han Jiang nodded and said decisively.
"I want you to fully assist Hu Fei and serve the imperial court in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Jiang and said slowly.
But after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Han Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't understand what he meant for a while.
"Your Majesty, do you want Marquis Jiu'an to take over the inspection of the school?"
Han Jiang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked in disbelief.
But Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head directly, and before Han Jiang could react, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.
"From today onwards, the inspection school will be officially abolished and there will be no more inspection schools in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Jiang and said slowly.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Han Jiang froze on the spot and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief, thinking that he had heard wrong.
"From now on, I will establish a new department called Jinyiwei. Hu Fei will be the commander, and you will be the deputy commander. From now on, you will be responsible for assisting Hu Fei and serving me."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Jiang and said seriously.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Han Jiang's eyes darkened, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
He never dreamed that one day he would become Hu Fei's deputy, and he had already noticed that Hu Fei had murderous intentions towards him.
