During this period, the Zhongshu Province was leaderless and in chaos. Needless to say, every morning at court, the prime ministers were missing from the queue of civil servants, and the civil and military ministers talked about everything.
Later, I heard that the prince sent someone to take away the accounts of Zhongshu Province, so the news that Hu Weiyong was about to fall spread in the capital.
But the development of things in the Hongwu Dynasty is always so unexpected - after staying in the palace for ten days, Prime Minister Hu came out with all his hair intact!
And according to eyewitnesses, Hu Xiang's energy and spirit have changed drastically. When he came out of the Meridian Gate, he held his head high, strode like a meteor, walked like a wind, and made great moves...
All he had to do was shout with a loudspeaker: 'I, Hu Hansan, am back again!'
~~
As soon as he left Duanmen, Hu Weiyong saw a middle school scholar and his coachman, Lao Huang, waiting there.
"Master Xiang." The two people hurriedly came up to greet him and said with surprise on their faces: "Xie Ke has figured it out."
"Yes." Hu Weiyong nodded and asked the two of them: "How are you doing at home and in the Yamen these days?"
"Replying to the prime minister, it's not very good." They both said in unison.
"Speak first." Hu Weiyong said to Nashe Ren without changing his expression. As he spoke, he walked towards his beloved little donkey.
"Yes." The man nodded and said softly: "On the third day after Hu Xiang entered the palace, Wu Zhuangyuan suddenly came to Zhongshu with the prince's handwriting. He said that the prince wanted to study the income and expenditure of the imperial court, so he pulled all the accounts of the Yamen
gone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Go to the Ministry of Accounts to study the revenue and expenditure of the imperial court. What can you see in our Zhongshu Province's accounts?" Peng Geng said angrily when he heard this.
"Shut up." Hu Weiyong stopped and sneered: "It's not bad to come here. At least the prince will know how deep the misunderstanding against us is."
"Haha, yes." Peng Geng also laughed. After a long period of confusion, he finally cleared the clouds and saw the sun.
Shang Hao, who had become the scapegoat, could not laugh, he only felt that he was making a lot of noise.
"You first go to the Yamen and show your face to stabilize the morale of the army." Hu Weiyong ordered Peng Geng.
"Okay." Peng Geng responded and left.
"Let's go, old Shang, go to my house for a drink." Hu Weiyong then patted Shang Hao on the shoulder and asked him to get on his donkey cart.
The little donkey pulled the carriage with one more person in it, swearing and struggling to move forward.
"Old Shang, don't you quite understand why it's you and not him?" Hu Weiyong asked in the shaking carriage.
"Sigh." Shang Hao forced a smile and said, "There must be a reason for kindness."
"Yes, Peng Geng is a vulgar and shallow man from Qiu Ba. This kind of person takes the blame and wants to be resentful. He will definitely be taken advantage of." Hu Weiyong nodded and said, "Then it will be a disaster."
"Oh..." Shang Hao said in his heart, will I not feel resentful if we write together?
"Of course you have reasons to be resentful." Hu Weiyong then said in a deep voice: "But judging from the emperor's attitude, at most you will be demoted this time, and you won't even have to leave Zhongshu."
"That's okay." Shang Hao said with a sigh of relief: "As long as I don't leave Enxiang's side, I will be happy as a clerk serving tea and water."
"No, I have a more important task for you." Hu Weiyong shook his head.
"Please give me your instructions." Shang Hao's eyes lit up. He was worried about being abandoned. If he had a mission, he would not do it.
"I guess your position will be freed up for Zeng Tai." Hu Weiyong said slowly.
"Zeng Tai deserves to die!" Shang Hao gritted his teeth and said, "He will harm us as soon as he returns to Beijing!"
"He came with a mission, can't you see?" Hu Weiyong asked.
"Yes, he is the nail that the Crown Prince drove into our Zhongshu." Shang Hao nodded and said, "I really can't wait to make meritorious deeds."
"Then let's help him." Hu Weiyong said calmly: "How about a trick?"
"What Hu Xiang means..." Shang Hao understood instantly and sang the lyrics from the first chapter of Guan Hanqing's "Single Sword Club". "What's the point of killing that bitter meat trick Huang Gai to gain more food and grass?"
"Smart, so Peng Geng is just a useless fool." Hu Weiyong smiled with satisfaction: "And you, my friend, you will become our hero."
"Yes." Shang Hao nodded sadly, thinking that I would rather be treated as a useless fool.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Hu Weiyong said again: "When we stabilize the situation and kick Zeng Tai away, Zuo Cheng's position will still be yours. When I become official... Haha, besides you there are others Who can reassure me?"
"My subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the graceful minister." Shang Hao knew that he was just painting a cake, but he had to show his satisfaction. What's more, he was really a little happy...
"Okay, from the moment you get off the car, you can express your frustration to your heart's content." Hu Weiyong nodded and opened the car door.
"Ah?" Shang Hao was stunned, and thought to himself, didn't he want to go to your house for a drink?
"If you don't talk to me, why are you drinking?" Hu Weiyong shouted coldly: "Get out of the car!"
The sound was so loud that the defenders at the left gate of Chang'an could hear it clearly.
Shang Hao blushed and got out of the car without saying a word. When the donkey cart was far away, he spat out angrily.
Then I took a deep step and a shallow step and headed home.
That dejected look cannot be conveyed by acting alone.
~~
When there were no outsiders, Hu Weiyong opened the car curtain and asked Lao Huang:
"What happened at home?"
"My uncle came home the day before yesterday." Old Huang whispered: "I said that the young master killed someone in Liuhe County."
"What?" Hu Weiyong's head buzzed and he lost his voice: "How could it be such a coincidence?"
He hurriedly shouted and asked: "When did it happen? Is Li Gui still in Beijing?"
"Here, I'm waiting for the master to come back and make up his mind." Lao Huang said hurriedly.
"Go home quickly!" It was about his precious son, and Hu Weiyong completely lost his composure.
"Hey." Lao Huang hurriedly whipped the donkey, and the little donkey ran away and quickly returned to Hudou Alley.
As soon as Hu Weiyong entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, his wife Li Shi heard the news and came out to welcome him.
As soon as she saw him, Ms. Li burst into tears. "Oh, sir, you are back. If you don't come back, your son will be bullied to death."
"Shut up." Hu Weiyong stopped Li from crying, then looked at his brother-in-law who was hiding behind her, and shouted: "Why are you showing me such a child!"
Li Gui felt aggrieved in his heart, could I take care of the little bully of the Yu family? On the surface, he had to give himself a big mouth, crying: "Brother-in-law, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of Tianci."
If I had seen this without knowing it, I would have thought that it was Hu Tianci who was killed...
"Go to the study and wait." Hu Weiyong shouted to Li Gui with a dark face. He took a shower casually, changed out of his stale official robes, and put on his home Taoist robes to calm down, then went into the study and sat down.
asked:
"Tell me, how could it be such a coincidence that something happened to me just when I was trapped in the palace?"
"Actually, God sent someone to hit someone to death, and it's not something that happened now." It was now, and Li Gui didn't dare to hide it anymore, and hurriedly reported back: "It was obviously suppressed before, but it has been overturned again in the past few days.
Get up."
"Explain it to me clearly!" Hu Weiyong frowned and scolded.
