"The party's accusation of Hu Weiyong is enough to dismiss them from office." Lao Liu hurriedly dodged and avoided the old thief's shoe soles and said: "To establish a conspiracy, you need evidence. Without evidence, if you wipe out a whole family, you will not have a son."
Piyanzi’s!”
"You fart, I've given birth to so many sons, and all of them have their own skin." Zhu Yuanzhang angrily waved the soles of his shoes and chased and beat him. "Don't you like to convict the case of rebellion?"
Lao Liu then went around the imperial case and said, "My son, that's just to force them to submit, not to kill people!"
"How do you know that I'm not trying to force them to submit?" Zhu Yuanzhang stopped panting and said, "In my eyes, am I a murderer?"
"I told you earlier..." Lao Liu also stopped and said, "I thought you were going to kill them all."
"This is not the time to kill them. If we kill them, who will do the work for us?" Zhu Yuanzhang bent down to put on his shoes, taking advantage of Lao Liu's unpreparedness, he used the smelly shoes as a hidden weapon, and he was embarrassed.
"Oh..." Lao Liu was caught off guard and was hit in the face. He covered his nose with tears streaming down his face. "Shameless, sneak attack."
"Hey, this is called falsehood and trueness, and soldiers never tire of deceit." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the shoes on the ground and said proudly: "Bring them back to your father and put them on."
"If you embarrass me with your shoes, I have to pick them up and put them on for you." The sixth boss was unwilling.
"I can't help it, who made me your father? If you don't accept it, you will be my father in the next life." Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he refused to pay for his life and said: "Put it on."
Lao Liu could only helplessly pick up his smelly shoes, bend down and put them on for the old thief.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes in enjoyment and said leisurely: "Actually, we already knew that Hu Weiyong was going to rebel."
"Xie even asked him to behead his son personally. He can wait until now to rebel. He is already in a good temper." Lao Liu said angrily.
"Yes, from that moment on, we didn't want to keep him." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice turned cold and said: "The prime minister ignores the laws of the country and uses his power to coerce the judicial department to help him kill white ducks. Let us steward such goods.
, how can we sleep?"
"But we don't want to kill him on any random charge, because whoever sits in his position will bring hundreds of officials against us." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice:
"The prime minister is the representative of the scholar-bureaucrats. They want to share the world with us. We are not willing to give them such great privileges as we did in previous dynasties. Therefore, whoever becomes the prime minister will fight with us to the end...because if he doesn't follow
If we fight, he won't be able to move the people below him."
Lao Liu nodded, what he said was true. After the new year, Hu Weiyong, in order to paralyze the old thief, flattered him everywhere. In just a few months, all the prestige he had accumulated before was lost.
Those civil servants began to disobey his orders overtly and covertly, and even ridiculed him openly. They became the emperor's lackeys.
"So, it is better to use Hu Weiyong as prime minister than to use a scholar. At least he is not the same as them, and he is full of shit." Zhu Yuanzhang continued:
"So all these years, we have been holding his nose and using him, just not giving scholars the opportunity to become prime minister. But after the Hu Tianci case, we finally figured out that what is better than letting Hu Weiyong be prime minister is to have no prime minister."
"The power of the Zhongshu Province is too great. Even though we have been reducing its power over the years, it is still the center of the imperial court, the superior of the world's yamen, and the natural leader of all officials. We can finally understand that no matter how big or small the power is,
It depends on the level of official position, but on its position in the field of power."
"As long as the prime minister is still the leader of the officials, even if we reduce the power of Zhongshu, it will not have much impact on his power." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Only by abolishing the prime minister and deposing Zhongshu can this situation be completely changed and the emperor
Become the leader of all officials and the center of the world's yamen."
"That's it..." Although Lao Liu had known that Hu Weiyong would be the last prime minister, he was still shocked to hear the old thief tell his own journey.
Besides, he didn't want the old thief to find out that he had known this for a long time, so he cooperated and asked: "But since ancient times, kings have always had prime ministers. Isn't this very difficult to deal with?"
"Yes, for the scholar-bureaucrats, it is unimaginable to live without a prime minister. Their opposition will be greater than when you implemented the three reforms before. We have learned the lesson from the last time and do not want to engage in your sudden attack, reconciliation and compromise again.
The trick."
"We still have to follow our own path, make full preparations, make decisions before we move, force them to submit obediently, and don't give them any chance to fight back." Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking slowly, looked at Lao Liu and said:
"So Hu Weiyong must plot a rebellion, and hundreds of officials must also be involved. As for whether to kill them and punish the nine tribes, it all depends on their performance. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Lao Liu nodded. He was very familiar with this method. Sure enough, father follows his son...
"Then go and re-interrogate!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice and looked at Lao Liu with dissatisfaction: "You are just too influenced by your elder brother, and you are always soft-hearted towards those ministers. Our family only needs your elder brother to be a good person, do you understand?"
"My son, I understand." Lao Liu hurriedly responded: "We all act as villains for the eldest brother, so the eldest brother can clean up people's hearts."
"It's good to understand." Zhu Yuanzhang then slowed down and said: "Besides, isn't there still your fourth brother? Anyway, after this happened, he went to join the feudal vassal. The evil man asked him to be the one, but you are still responsible for beating the drum and letting them all
Write a confession."
"Yes." Lao Liu nodded.
"Hurry. We only give you three days." Zhu Yuanzhang finally said solemnly: "In three days, on the first day of July, we will officially announce it."
"Hey." The sixth man has a big head. Compared with the old thief, all capitalists are soft-hearted.
~~
After the sixth child came out, Boss Zhu called the fourth child in for an interview.
Half an hour later, the fourth child walked out of Wuying Hall with a solemn expression, only to see the sixth child still waiting in the corridor.
The two brothers walked out of Wuyingmen side by side in silence.
"What did I tell you?" The fourth child asked.
Lao Liu simply repeated what the old thief said.
"It's almost the same as me." The fourth child paused and said, "Father just told me one more thing - to formally establish the Jin Yiwei, the Hu Weiyong case is the first case of the Jin Yiwei."
"Oh?" Lao Liu said with a surprised expression: "My father took the name I blindly chose seriously."
"It doesn't matter what you call it." Lao Si said solemnly: "What's important is that we finally don't have to be sneaky anymore and can monitor the government and the public openly."
"Haha, I think more importantly, this proves that the fourth brother did not act arbitrarily last year, but acted according to orders." Lao Liu said with a smile: "It can be regarded as clearing your grievances."
"Yes." The fourth child also smiled with relief, and breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, father, and thank you, Prime Minister Hu."
"Then Fourth Brother has to work hard." Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Let's work hard together." The fourth child grabbed the sixth child and said, "You kid, don't even think about hiding out."
