Chapter 275: Firecrackers Ring on Chinese New Year's Eve
At this time, Tu Jie was already like a frightened bird, and when he heard Xu Da and Lan Yu's words, he immediately knelt down and said bitterly:
"Long live, on the night of the twenty-fifth, Hu Weiyong did say the sixteenth day of the first month."
Tu Jie couldn't help but be afraid, if Zhu Yuanzhang misunderstood that he was here to set off smoke bombs, so that Hu Weiyong could take advantage of the time difference to rebel, not only did he not have merit in entering the palace Gaomi this time, but it would become a crime on top of a crime. Immediately, he told the story of the three of them being disturbed by a voice that night. The reason why Tu Jie did not mention this matter in the recital and later when he recounted it himself was because he had no evidence and was worried that the suspicious special chapter would not believe it.
"Is that so?"
"Long live, Wechen doesn't dare to deceive. The reason why I didn't say it just now was because this matter was too strange for Wei Chen to explain clearly. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tu Jie suspiciously, and then looked at Xu Da and Lan Yu.
"Your Majesty, there are many talented people in the world, and what Master Tu said may not be false."
Xu Da, who understands Tu Jie's timidity and fear, has basically believed Tu Jie's words, if he hadn't been frightened by that voice, Tu Jie might not have come to denounce Hu Weiyong.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the early dynasty generally went up to the 28th of the lunar month, because Hu Weiyong's affairs were inconvenient to discuss in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang canceled the early dynasty on the 27th and 28th on the grounds that the dragon head was not safe. In his heart, he went through all the ministers, and referred to the list folded by Tu Rhythm, and secretly announced that the officials who were loyal to the Zhu dynasty and were in high positions secretly entered the palace and plotted to deal with Hu Weiyong's rebellion.
Hu Weiyong didn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang really canceled the early dynasty because of his poor health. However, since the posts of the concubines on the sixth day of the first month have been sent out, it is impossible to change them, and Hu Weiyong can only wait anxiously for the day to come.
successively sent Hu Xin to the Tujie mansion, but he never saw Tujie himself, and his family just said that Tujie was sick in bed and not suitable to see guests. Hu Weiyong's suspicions became heavier and heavier, he wanted to go to the house in person to ask about his illness, but he was afraid that Tu Jie would really change his mind, in case he was detained, things would be worse, so he could only pray secretly in his heart that Tu Jie was really sick.
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, from the morning, Yingtianfu was full of the smell of the New Year, and the sound of earth-shaking firecrackers came and went, only the Xiangfu was quiet. For some reason, this year, Xiangye suddenly announced that no one was allowed to set off fireworks in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This made Hu Weiyong's group of sons very puzzled. How did they know that today's Hu Weiyong is nervous, and he will be frightened when he hears the sound of firecrackers?
For a whole day, Hu Weiyong was in the room of the favored concubine Li, and it was not until the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner that he came out to sit with his family. However, Hu Weiyong's meal can be said to be tasteless. Looking at the people in front of him, wives and concubines, daughters, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren, still giggling, Hu Weiyong's mood became worse and worse. He didn't dare to imagine that once things failed, everyone in front of him would be buried under the knife of the cowherd baby with him. The distraught Hu Weiyong got up and left before he finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
waved away the family members who wanted to follow behind him, and came to Xiao Yiran's residence alone. Seeing the newly decorated room and the fairy-like Xiao Yiran, Hu Weiyong's mood was slightly better. He had long ordered someone to bring Xiao Yiran a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Hu Weiyong also sat down and ordered Xiaomei to pour wine for herself, admiring Xiao Yiran's beauty while drinking wine.
Regarding Hu Weiyong's arrival, Xiao Yiran was a little unpredictable. Especially Hu Weiyong's gloomy face when he first came in, Xiao Yiran thought that Hu Weiyong suspected him. When I saw that it was only Hu Weiyong, I was relieved. The two of them sat opposite each other, Hu Weiyong didn't speak, Xiao Yiran didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the small room seemed a little weird.
After drinking a lot of wine, Hu Weiyong spoke:
"Have you figured it out?"
"If you don't think about it, will Xiangye let the little girl go?"
Hu Weiyong thought that Xiao Yiran had accepted his fate, so he grinned at the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, and then said:
"You are a smart person, and a smart person will not choose to fight for his life."
"Isn't Xiangye also a smart person, why do you have to fight with your life?"
"What did you say?!"
Hu Weiyong heard that there was something in Xiao Yiran's words, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Xiao Yiran straight for a long time, and then asked tentatively:
"Did you really get it that night?"
"The little girl can't understand Xiangye's words."
Although he was suspicious in his heart, when he saw Xiao Yiran on the other side, Hu Weiyong still couldn't believe that the girl in front of him would have such a great ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been under house arrest in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long.
After drinking again, Hu Weiyong got up and left.
Xiao Yiran still guessed something about Hu Weiyong's abnormal behavior. After all, the day of rebellion is getting closer and closer, and it is absolutely impossible to say that Hu Weiyong is not nervous.
Not long after Hu Weiyong left Xiao Yiran, Hu Hengrui came over again. Judging from the other party's stumbling steps, Hu Hengrui's wine was already high. Xiao Yiran couldn't stop him from entering the door, just stood in the corner of the room, quietly watching what Hu Hengrui would do next.
"Miss, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, young master, I'll accompany Miss."
"Seventh Young Master, let's go back to accompany Seventh Young Grandma, there is no need for anyone to accompany here."
"Such a delicate woman, how can she be accompanied by no one on Chinese New Year's Eve."
After Hu Hengrui entered the room, he did not sit down, but chose to stand opposite Xiao Yiran. After saying two words, Hu Hengrui had already moved his steps and came to Xiao Yiran's side.
"Doesn't Miss feel lonely when she is alone in the empty room?"
As he spoke, Hu Hengrui actually stretched out his hand towards Xiao Yiran, meaning to grab Xiao Yiran's wrist. Xiao Yiran dodged sideways, but the space in the room was too narrow, and finally let Hu Hengrui grab one of his arms. Xiao Yiran shook it hard, and shook Hu Hengrui, who was holding his arm, staggered, if it weren't for the other party reaching out and holding the table next to him, I was afraid that he would have to lie on the ground.
"Seventh Young Master, please respect yourself, Xiangye just left."
"Hmph, I'm seventy or eighty, and I still want to do this."
Hu Hengrui didn't care about it, and reached out again to grab Xiao Yiran, this time not only stretched out his hand, but his whole body leaned towards Xiao Yiran's body. Xiao Yiran couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and pushed Hu Hengrui's chest, and the whole person suddenly lay on the floor on all fours.
"Little slut, you dare to beat Young Master Ben?!"
Hu Hengrui suddenly shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of the two guards outside the door, and the two walked into the room, helped Hu Hengrui on the ground up, and persuaded in a low voice:
"The Seventh Young Master should go back, otherwise the Xiangye will know about it, and he will definitely not bypass the Seventh Young Master."
"Get out, I'm in charge."
"And who do you want?"
Hearing Hu Weiyong's voice, Hu Hengrui, who wanted to go crazy with wine, suddenly sobered up a lot, turned around, and came to the door of the room in a few steps, just in front of Hu Hengrui, who came back after hearing the shout. I saw Hu Weiyong raise his foot and hit Hu Hengrui's lower abdomen, Hu Hengrui was kicked to the ground again, holding his lower abdomen with both hands, constantly rolling, and screaming in pain.
