Both of them are extremely energetic workaholics. They worked all night long to collect all the physical evidence recovered from Liao Yongzhong's mansion.
All over.
After reading the last piece of evidence, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, stared like a rabbit and said: "Xiao Liao deserves to die!"
"Yes." Hu Weiyong wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, opened his eyes wide and said, "This is shocking, I have nothing to say."
As he spoke, he pointed to one of the boxes and said: "There is also this one, I dare not even look at it."
Inside are some over-made cups, cups, saddles, bridles, stirrups, etc., which are either made of bright yellow or have dragon and phoenix designs on them, but they are not for the use of ministers.
"The guards who searched the house said that the big bed he slept on was carved with dragons and phoenixes, and was even grander than our dragon bed." Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly: "They wanted to carry him back, but they couldn't get out."
As he spoke, he spat: "We can sleep on it for two people at most. Why do we need such a big bed?"
"Haha..." Hu Weiyong laughed dryly, saying to himself that Your Majesty, you are very good at giving birth to a son, but he is not as good as the people below us.
"That's it, he still wants to compare himself to Han Xin, and wants to force us to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty?!" Zhu Yuanzhang spat fiercely: "He is worthy of embroidering peonies on a linen handkerchief!"
"The magnanimity and benevolence of the superiors far exceed those of Han Gao. It's a pity that some people are self-reliant on their merits and regard the emperor's repeated warnings as nothing. They clearly have themselves to blame, but they blame the superiors. It's really hateful and ridiculous!" Hu Weiyong said with the same hatred. p>
"Oh, we still don't want to start this." Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back on the dragon chair, melancholy.
People change, and their ideas are completely different at different stages. At least for now, Boss Zhu still wants to learn from Guangwu and Taizong, and start well and end well with the old brothers; no matter how bad it is, he still wants to be like Zhao Da, at least he can end with dignity.
If possible, who wouldn't want to be a good person? Zhu Yuanzhang even forgave Mr. Liu who abused him, and he sincerely wanted to be a benevolent king.
"Nothing can be done..." He was filled with murderous intent at this moment, but it was also an indisputable fact.
Hu Weiyong quietly watched the emperor struggling there.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the battle between heaven and man and turned his attention back to the two broken letters.
"One last thing, what do you think about this?" He tapped the scraps of paper with his fingers and asked in a low voice.
"Back to the top, I think it's very strange." Hu Weiyong seemed to consider every word carefully:
"Actually, many of the letters are...problematic. But when Marquis Deqing's family learned about his accident, why didn't they burn them together instead of just these two letters?"
"Maybe he thinks that nothing else matters, these two letters are the only ones that are fatal." Zhu Yuanzhang's sleepiness disappeared, and his eyes like a falcon once again shot out cold light.
"These two letters were burnt in such a hurry. Most probably they were burned temporarily because they heard that the house was to be raided. What is there that is so shameful in this?" Hu Weiyong followed the emperor's words and carefully guided them.
"What else could it be?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said with murderous intent: "Besides that thing, what else do they have in common?"
"What the superior said is that Liu Bowen has always been arrogant and only associates with those literati. He doesn't even look down on the Korean prince, let alone a vulgar martial artist." Hu Weiyong nodded and said: "It seems to be the only thing about that.
, allowing him to get in touch with Marquis Deqing."
As he said that, he pretended to be humane and said: "But the matter is too big to rely solely on speculation. Do you want to ask the family of Marquis Deqing?"
"No." Zhu Yuanzhang slowly shook his head. "No one will admit that he did it, unless his whole family is arrested and tortured."
"But the impact would be too great." Hu Weiyong sighed.
"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Yesterday at the court meeting, the princes in Beijing took turns interceding with Liao Yongzhong. Even his brother-in-law Li Zhen, Bao'er, Xu Da, Tang He, the most staunch royalists, all said that Liao Yongzhong
Yongzhong is drunk and has no control over his actions. Please forgive him once more.
I was already under tremendous pressure when I raided his home today. If I were to interrogate Liao Yongzhong’s family again, Xungui would probably take further action.
"Ask Xiao Liao?" Hu Weiyong suggested in a low voice.
"It's useless. He is a man made of iron. If you don't want to say it, you won't say it even if you beat him to death." Zhu Yuanzhang still shook his head.
"Then there is only one last person left, you can ask." Hu Weiyong said calmly.
"You mean Liu Xian...ji?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Yes, but Uncle Cheng is ill in bed, so it's not easy to disturb him." Hu Weiyong hurriedly pulled back his hand.
"Yes, it seems that he is really ill this time..." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became darker and darker, like a black hole that could swallow everything.
At this time, the Jingyang Bell rang at the Meridian Gate, indicating that it was time to go to court.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said casually:
"Tomorrow, bring an imperial doctor to see him for us. If it's suitable, you can ask. If it's not suitable, just wait until he recovers."
"According to the order." Hu Weiyong responded, as if he had taken on an ordinary errand, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Your Majesty, be careful where you step." He leaned forward and followed Zhu Yuanzhang step by step out of Wuying Hall and headed for Fengtian Gate.

After going to court, Hu Weiyong yawned repeatedly and said to Zhongshu Lang who came to pick him up:
"I stayed up all night with my boss last night. We can't stand it anymore, so we won't go to the province."
"Yes, Prime Minister, please go home and have a good rest." The scholar quickly helped him open the door curtain of the donkey cart.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like sedan chairs, thinking it was a sign of corruption. In the sixth year of Hongwu, he simply stipulated that only old and disabled officials and women could ride in sedan chairs, and the rest could only use carriages and horses.
As the prime minister, Hu Weiyong naturally had to set an example, so he used a simple and shabby donkey cart instead.
After sitting in the carriage, he seemed to have remembered something, and turned his head to the Zhongshu Lang and said: "Go to Taiyuan Hospital and tell Judge Zhou to ask for leave tomorrow. I will tell you that I will give you an order and go with the truth to see Uncle Chengyi." "Yes, Prime Minister." Zhongshu Lang responded softly.
"Let's go." Hu Weiyong put down the sedan curtain and swayed back home in a donkey cart.

Main Hall.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu spent another absent-minded day.
Fourth brother has noticed that since Liu Ji became ill, he has been absent-minded.
"Hey, I'm talking about you, Sixth Brother, are you and Mr. Liu still fighting over each other? How come you feel like you've lost your soul when he's gone?"
"No. We have been in class since the second day of the new year. Shouldn't we be like this?" Zhu Zhen muttered depressedly while packing his schoolbag: "Students work so hard, they should have a winter vacation."
"Winter vacation, that's a good idea. It's so cold in winter, so we shouldn't go to school." The second brother was happy when he heard that. He never brought books home, so he didn't have a schoolbag to pack.
"The summer is so hot, do you want me to have a summer vacation?" The third brother put his schoolbag under his arm and said sarcastically.
"Summer, summer vacation, that's fine too."
"Coupled with autumn break and spring break, you can have enough fun at home all year round." The third brother laughed.
"Hmm, from now on I will be a vassal, so I will give my son a holiday." The second brother said seriously: "We have holidays in spring, summer, autumn and winter."
"Hahaha..."
The brothers came to the door of Wenhua talking and laughing. Zhu Zhen saw that in addition to Wang Defa, there was also Eunuch Yu from Shang Yao Bureau, who was also looking anxiously.
"Oh, Your Highness, Xie has figured it out." Yu Men quickly ran up, bowed deeply and said, "Guess what happened."
"Has the imperial doctor asked for leave?" Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up.
"Yes, Judge Zhou will accompany Mr. Hu to see Uncle Chengyi tomorrow. Please return the leave application form to me as soon as possible." Yu Men wiped his sweat and said, "This old man is going crazy with anxiety."
His Royal Highness the King of Chu's mouth curled up to the back of his head.
