Hu Mansion.

Front yard study.

Hu Weiyong was holding a cup of tea and sipping it with a pleasant smile on his face.

He has been in a good mood recently. Since he started to keep a low profile in the court, he has finally had fewer troubles, and there are no longer people grabbing his pigtails all day long.

And ever since I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince had rewarded his son with a Xuanwu Order, I felt very happy and felt that my original decision was very correct and my son was becoming more and more promising.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, he had already begun to plan to arrange an errand for his son, and first let him find an official position in the court.

At this moment, a burst of chaotic footsteps came, and the housekeeper Qin Hai stumbled in.

"What are you doing?! How can you behave like this in such a panic!?"

Looking at Qin Hai who was in a hurry, Hu Weiyong shook his head and said dissatisfied.

"Master! Something happened!"

Qin Hai was out of breath, holding on to the door frame, and said with a pale face.

"What's all the fuss about?!"

Hu Weiyong asked while shaking his head while drinking tea.

In the past month or so, he has experienced too many things and has become accustomed to it. Nothing can make him nervous now.

"The young master beat up the people who believed in Duke Xin!"

Qin Hai said loudly and anxiously.

"Xin Guogong? Tang..."

"What?!"

"Hot, hot, hot..."

Hu Weiyong was still silently reciting the words "Xin Guogong" while sipping tea in the presence of the old god. Then his face suddenly changed. He couldn't help but spit out the hot tea that was on his lips, and he threw away the tea cup because it was so hot.

, constantly afraid of spilling tea on my chin and chest.

"master!"

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to help Hu Weiyong wipe away the tea spilled on his body.

"You said that brat hit Tanghe's person?!"

Hu Weiyong suppressed his blush and asked loudly.

"Yeah, now it's spread all over the streets. It's right in front of the Hong Bin Tower, in front of hundreds of people, and it doesn't show any sympathy to General Tang."

Qin Hai nodded and said with a grimace.

"You little bastard, you are my biological father!"

"You don't want me to celebrate the New Year?!"

"Seek death!"

Hu Weiyong said with trembling lips in anger.

"Sir, Duke Xin Guo has just returned to Beijing and should have entered the palace by now. What should we do?"

Qin Hai asked worriedly.

"What should I do?! He will definitely tell His Majesty about this. Although this old boy will not take the opportunity to add insult to injury to me, what he hates most in his life is the dude from a wealthy family!"

"Go! Get that brat back to me! I want to ask him if he has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage!"

Hu Weiyong cursed and said, eyes widening.

"yes!"

Qin Hai agreed and immediately rushed out quickly, leading a dozen servants to North Street.

...

East Palace.

back yard.

In the pavilion, Zhu Biaozheng and Korean Gong Li Shanchang were playing chess.

At this moment, the guard commander Xiao Qi quickly came to the back garden and hurried to the pavilion.

"Your Highness, something happened on North Street today."

Xiao Qi bowed and said respectfully.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Biao asked casually while studying the chess game.

"Today is the day when General Tang returned to Beijing to report on his duties. However, when he was walking to North Street, he had a conflict with people from Hong Bin Tower. Hu Fei beat General Tang's subordinates in front of him."

Xiao Qi frowned and whispered.

"beated..."

"What?!"

Zhu Biao was thinking about where to make the next move. Hearing Xiao Qi's words, he couldn't help but be shocked. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Qi in disbelief. The chess piece in his hand couldn't help but fall to the chessboard.

superior.

"Our devil king is really good at causing trouble. He doesn't mess with others, but he wants to mess with Duke Xin!"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly and said.

"Now it has spread throughout the capital, and some people have even started to spread rumors that... Duke Xin is afraid of Hu Fei and Prime Minister Hu..."

Xiao Qi hesitated and said again.

Hearing these words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

"Your Highness, you have no regrets, you have lost."

Li Shanchang, who was sitting opposite Zhu Biao, had a smile on his face and while talking, he made a move and became the final winner of this game.

This is the first game he has won in the past few days.

"If you lose, just lose. How can I care about winning or losing now? I have to think about what to do next."

Zhu Biao said with a wry smile.

"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince has regarded Hu Fei as one of his own."

Li Shanchang showed a smile on his face and said slowly.

"But this devil incarnate may not regard me as one of his own, but I still have to find a way to resolve this crisis for him."

Zhu Biao said with a wry smile.

"Duke Xin Guo has been in Zhongdu for most of the year, training troops and repairing city walls in Peiping. He has worked hard and achieved great results. He returns to Beijing this time to report on his duties. If something like this happens, I think your Majesty will not let him suffer this injustice."

Li Shanchang nodded and said thoughtfully.

"Mr. Korea, do you have any ideas?"

Zhu Biao looked at Li Shanchang and asked seriously.

"It's not too late to make a decision based on His Majesty's attitude and Prime Minister Hu's reaction."

Li Shanchang thought for a moment and said slowly.

"I'm afraid that's the only way it can be."

Zhu Biao nodded and said slowly.

"Pay more attention to the situation at Yangxin Hall and report anything to me at any time."

Then, Zhu Biao turned to look at Xiao Qi and said in a deep voice.

"yes."

Xiao Qi agreed, bowed and stepped back.

...

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

In the main hall, Xinguo Gong Tang He had just finished reporting to Zhu Yuanzhang about the army training and city wall repairs in three places in the past six months.

"Tang Qing has been away for more than half a year. He has really worked hard. As the New Year is approaching, he should cultivate his health and recuperate. At this year's annual banquet, you must have a few more drinks with me."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang He with satisfaction and said with a smile, his eyes full of relief.

"Serving the imperial court is what a humble minister should do. I don't dare to take credit, so why bother? Sharing your Majesty's worries is what a minister should do."

Tang He cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"Hehehe, I know that Tang Qing always does everything personally, and I feel very relieved."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, full of joy.
