Chapter 61: Crying Hu Weiyong(1/2)
Hu Mansion.
Front yard study.
Hu Weiyong kept pacing, waiting for the housekeeper Qin Hai to bring Hu Fei back to ask for details.
Judging by the time of day, Hu Weiyong guessed that Tang He had almost finished reporting on military affairs and might have started to mention what happened on North Street today.
But Hu Fei never came back, which made Hu Weiyong feel more and more unsure.
"This kid doesn't know that he has caused trouble and doesn't dare to come back. He has run away a long time ago, right?"
Hu Weiyong frowned and muttered to himself hesitantly.
At this moment, a servant quickly came to the study.
"Master, someone is coming from the palace!"
The servant came to the door and said in a panic.
Upon hearing this, Hu Weiyong hurriedly looked in the direction of the gate, and then saw several eunuchs walking in quickly.
broken!
Seeing this scene, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but frown, knowing that he had guessed it.
Trouble is coming!
Immediately, Hu Weiyong quickly walked out of the study and came to the courtyard, but still had his hands behind his back, pretending to be calm.
"I've met Hu Xiang."
Several young eunuchs bowed respectfully to Hu Weiyong.
"Well, what's the matter with father-in-law here?"
Hu Weiyong nodded and asked slowly.
"Replying to Prime Minister Hu, His Majesty issued an oral order to summon Prime Minister Hu to the palace for an audience."
The leading young eunuch bowed and replied in a low voice.
"Well, do you know what it is for?"
Hu Weiyong glanced at the door and nodded.
"I don't know this, but Xiang Hu will know it after he enters the palace."
The little eunuch shook his head and answered slowly.
"Well, thank you for your work, father-in-law."
"Wait a moment, let me change into official uniform first."
Hu Weiyong nodded, turned around and walked slowly towards the wing. He walked very slowly, but his heart was very anxious. He hoped to see Hu Fei before he left and ask him what was going on.
Qin Hai left in a hurry just now, and he didn't have time to ask what exactly happened.
However, he didn't see Hu Fei coming back until he took his time to change clothes from the side room. In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the palace.
In his heart, Hu Fei, who had been hiding when something happened, scolded the individual for being incompetent.
...
East Palace.
back yard.
Xiao Qi hurriedly walked in and came to the pavilion.
"Is there any news?"
Prince Zhu Biao turned to look at Xiao Qi, who was coming in a hurry, and asked impatiently.
"Reporting to His Majesty the Crown Prince, I have just received news that your Majesty has sent someone to Prime Minister Hu's house to summon Prime Minister Hu to the palace for an audience."
Xiao Qi cupped his hands and replied respectfully.
"It seems that Duke Xin has already mentioned the North Street incident to His Majesty."
Zhu Biao nodded and said slowly.
"But I don't know how Mr. Hu will deal with it."
Li Shanchang said thoughtfully, with a faint smile on his lips.
Before Hu Weiyong became prime minister, Li Shanchang was the previous prime minister, but at this time he had retreated to the second line. Speaking of which, Hu Weiyong is now able to sit on the position of prime minister, but he was recommended by Li Shanchang and entered the court.
Moreover, the Li family and the Hu family are already related by marriage, and Li You, son of Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi, is Hu Weiyong's niece-in-law.
Speaking of which, Hu Fei had to call Li Shanchang his uncle, but because Hu Fei's reputation was not very good, Li Shanchang had never seen Hu Fei a few times.
"Where is Hu Fei? Where is he now?"
Zhu Biao turned to look at Xiao Qi and continued to ask.
"It should still be at Hong Bin Building."
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and answered slowly.
"He is very comfortable. When such a big thing happened, he became the person who can sit still the best."
Zhu Biao said with a wry smile.
"How does Your Highness plan to respond?"
Li Shan looked at Zhu Biao with a smile and asked slowly.
"It seems that I also need to go to the Yangxin Hall. As a last resort, I have to plead for that dandy young master."
Zhu Biao said with a wry smile.
"Since His Highness came forward to intercede, I thought this boy would be fine, but he seems to be in a state of bliss and does not know how to be blessed."
Li Shanchang said jokingly with a smile.
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly, stood up slowly, and then left the East Palace and headed towards the Yangxin Hall.
...
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
While Zhu Yuanzhang was chatting with Xin Guogong Tang He, Hu Weiyong quickly walked into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, is here to see you."
As soon as he entered the palace, Hu Weiyong bowed respectfully.
"Get flat."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and spoke slowly, not forgetting to glance at Tang He beside him as he spoke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hu Weiyong cupped his hands and slowly stood up.
"Believe in the Lord."
"I just came back from Beiping City. Duke Xin has been traveling around the country for the past six months. It's been really hard work. He should be a role model for our generation."
Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong turned to Tang He, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, but his smile always seemed a little too enthusiastic.
It seems that this old boy already knows that his son has gotten into trouble.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Hu Weiyong, a smile flashed across his lips, and he thought to himself.
"Hu Xiangyan is serious. It is our duty as ministers to share His Majesty's worries!"
Tang He returned the gesture symbolically and said a little stiffly.
Hu Weiyong didn't take it seriously and kept smiling.
"Hu Xiang, did you know that Hu Fei caused trouble in North Street again today?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his face, stared at Hu Weiyong, and asked in a deep voice.
"Ah? Really?"
"What trouble did that brat cause again?! He actually alerted His Majesty?!"
Hu Weiyong was stunned and couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"After Duke Xin Guo returned to Beijing today, he was blocked by a crowd on North Street. There was a conflict between the two parties, and someone beat his subordinates in front of Duke Xin Guo!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, with a look of displeasure on his face.
"Ah? There is such a thing?! Who is so bold?!"
Hu Weiyong exclaimed in surprise and asked with the same hatred.
"You will know if you ask Duke Xin."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Tang He and said in a deep voice.
"Xinguo Gong? Who did this?!"
