Chapter 104: The Prime Minister Rebels
After Shi returned to the room, Li Chengcheng's malicious smile and hidden conspiracy always appeared in front of him.
Are they discussing Hu Weiyong's business? Will he pull his dad into the water?
If Dad is confused for a while, the lives of their whole family will be lost. No, he can't just ignore it.
The stone once again came to Li Shanchang's study.
The door to the study was closed, and there was no sound of speech inside.
A figure flashed around the corner.
Shi ran two steps and followed to see that it was their servant Lu Zhongqian.
"What are you doing here?" Stone asked.
"Childe, I'm here to serve tea to the master." Lu Zhongqian lowered his head, his whole body trembling in panic. The tea set "clangs" on the tray.
"What are you panicking about?" The stone grabbed Lu Zhongqian's arm.
"No, no, I, I'......"
"Don't hide anything from me if you tell me the truth!"
"No, Childe." Lu Zhongqian tried to break free.
"Don't move! If you don't say it, get out of the Li Mansion now. The stone glared and threatened.
It was the first time that Shi had been so vicious to his servant, and he had to force Lu Zhongqian to tell the truth.
It is really frightening for a gentle person to suddenly start a ruthless attack, and Lu Zhongqian compromised.
He was terrified and told Shi everything about the conversation he had just heard at the door of Li Shanchang's study.
The stone turned pale, and he heard his own heartbeat louder than the sound of gongs and drums.
Now not only is the life of the Li family worried, but the entire Ming Dynasty will also face a bloody storm.
What should he do?
He didn't know what his father was up to.
In his opinion, the cold-faced and ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang is as powerful and vicious as a demon. No one is Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent, and Hu Weiyong cannot match him.
The East Window incident, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let anyone go, he can't spare Li Shanchang!
Shi Shi went straight to the temple opposite Yan Wang's Mansion, Dao Yan was in the temple, and he was the only person Shi could think of who could help him.
A banyan tree in the middle of the temple proudly displays its incomparably large limbs. Every corner of the temple is under its protection, and even the sunlight can only squeeze in helplessly.
In a few months, when winter comes, all the praise that the banyan tree can hear will turn into curses, and people will be eager to get rid of every claw of its demons.
If Dao Yan didn't want to follow King Yan, he would never condescend to such a small temple, and his great ambitions of the great rivers and mountains that he had not yet traveled and the great ambition of thousands of miles would not be realized in a place without sunlight.
"You're here, little brother, great!" Dao Yan saw the stone and was overjoyed.
Although they had only been together for a few days, he liked this straightforward and intelligent teenager very much.
"Master, it's not good!" The stone was panting and frightened.
"Why do you always like to go against me, I say it's too good, you can't say it."
"I'm not kidding you, something is wrong! Hu Weiyong wants to rebel! The stone stomped his foot hard, and beads of sweat fell into the dirt on his head.
The smile on Dao Yan's face gradually disappeared: "You make it clear, what the hell is going on?" ”
The stone told Dao Yan the ins and outs of the matter.
"I didn't expect it to come so quickly." Dao Yan thought thoughtfully, "I have already met the Four Princes, and I have discussed Hu Weiyong's rebellion with him. ”
"How? Do you have action? ”
"No, stay put, wait for the opportunity!" The corners of Dao Yan's mouth slowly rose, "It seems that the time is coming!" Stone, thank you for coming to tell me this good news! ”
Dao Yan pulled his legs and ran towards the temple gate.
"Don't go!" The stone stretched out his arms and stopped in front of Dao Yan, "Good news? Could it be that Hu Weiyong's rebellion is a good thing? ”
"Hehe, Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing. Good things and bad things are often interchangeable. ”
"How?"
"You wait and see the show." Dao Yan pushed the stone away, and his mysterious smile hid an unknown plan.
The timing that Dao Yan said was the time when the fourth prince Zhu Di stood out among the princes.
Hu Weiyong's rebellion created an excellent opportunity for Zhu Di to make meritorious contributions.
Although from the current point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the tradition of inheriting the throne by his eldest son, and Zhu Di cannot become the crown prince.
But in any case, it is very important whether Zhu Di can make Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers look at each other differently.
Daoyan's plan is to help Zhu Di establish meritorious deeds and prestige first.
Dao Yan rushed out of the temple with a nimble pace that he had never seen before.
"Hey, hey, hey!" The stone pointed at Dao Yan's distant back and shouted, "I haven't finished my words yet, what should my father do?" ”
Dao Yan ran back to the door, put one hand on the door frame, leaned back, and poked his head out: "Little brother, Your Highness will not forget your merits, don't worry!" I'll go first, and then I'll invite you to dinner and eat chicken legs! ”
"Chicken legs?" The stone snorted and said to himself, "Can you eat chicken legs as a monk?" ”
The heart of the stone was slightly relaxed, and he knew that Dao Yan had gone to inform the fourth prince Zhu Di.
Seeing Dao Yan's happy appearance, Shi guessed that it must be a good thing for Hu Weiyong to conspire against the fourth prince Zhu Di.
If the four princes benefit from this, he should always beg the emperor to let the Li family go for the sake of his tip-off.
Although he has no bottom in his heart, this is all he can do.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Shi came to Hu Weiyong's Prime Minister's Mansion, where he planned to stay and monitor Hu Weiyong's every move. He didn't know what the meaning of his actions were, but it was reassuring.
The thick fog prevailed before the sun came out. It stretches to every corner of Yingtianfu.
The doors of every house were closed, and people were afraid that the devil would take them by the throat.
A column of eight sedan chairs fearlessly left the Xihua Gate of Miyagi and marched towards Xiliufang.
Two or three pedestrians on the side of the road who were not afraid of death also avoided at this time.
Except for the people in the sedan chair, the rest of the ranks were the generals, captains and wrestlers of the Jinyi Guard. They protected the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the sedan chair.
This morning, someone reported that Hu Weiyong had poisoned Liu Ji. Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting to pass Hu Weiyong to ask for clarification, but Hu Weiyong first invited him to the mansion to watch the Liquan and stalagmites from the well.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word, agreed to Hu Weiyong's invitation, left behind the mountains of music exposing Hu Weiyong, and went to the unprecedented spectacle with curiosity about strange things and planning that had not yet been made in broad daylight.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hu Weiyong and dozens of guards had already lined up on both sides, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's drive.
One of the escort officers standing next to Hu Weiyong pointed at the guards on either side.
"When the emperor's Luan driver appeared around the corner, the two of you immediately stepped forward to greet him! Luan drove to the front of the mansion, and everyone knelt down and shouted 'Long live long live long live' until the emperor entered the door! After the emperor enters the door, everyone enters the door in turn, and the two of you are responsible for closing the door! ”
The fog gradually showed some drunkenness, and it staggered back towards the place where it belonged.
The faces of Hu Weiyong and dozens of guards clearly appeared in the field of vision of the stone.
When their voices reached Stone's ears through the fog just now, Stone only felt that someone was grabbing his throat and almost suffocated.
He was now slumped on the ground, his face menacing, and it seemed that what he did not want to see was about to happen.
Didn't the four princes play the emperor? How could the emperor dare to come to Hu Weiyong's house? Isn't this giving Hu Weiyong the best chance to kill him?
If the emperor knew that Hu Weiyong was going to kill him, then there should be at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surrounding the Prime Minister's Mansion by now, but none of the royal officers and soldiers appeared outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The stone rubbed his hands together, and his mind went blank.
The sound of the march was loud and loud, it split the fog in the middle, and nothing could stop it.
The banner of the wrestler appeared first around the corner, his massive body as indestructible as a mountain.
Hu Weiyong's guards bent over and trotted forward, then spread out on both sides and walked forward with the team.
The eight-lift sedan chair is facing the Zhumen of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The lieutenant lifted the sedan curtain, and Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out a foot.
At this moment, the stone seemed to be pushed from behind, and he rushed to a place a foot away from the sedan chair with an arrow step, and knelt on the ground with a "plop".
The Jinyi Guard, who was the leader, drew out the embroidered spring knife, and the blade as thin as paper pointed straight at the throat of the stone.
Sunlight suddenly broke through the clouds and hit the earth. The fog dispersed in all directions, and soon disappeared without a trace.
The strong light reflected by the blade penetrated into the eyes of the stone and turned the river and the sea, the stone lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and spit out a few words that he didn't expect in a panic: "Your Majesty, the grass people have something to report!" ”
He paused, he didn't know why he rushed out at this critical moment, he wasn't ready to face Zhu Yuanzhang, and he didn't know what to say.
"Fuck off, don't you want to die? How dare you stop it! The general shouted and reversed the blade, showing a threat that no one dared to underestimate.
The stone did not move half an inch, not because he was afraid, but because he had the only thought in his heart - not to let the emperor enter the prime minister's mansion.
Hu Weiyong saw that someone suddenly rushed out of the stop, and he was angry.
That person was not only in front of Luan Jia, but also in front of the plan he had been preparing for many years.
Hu Weiyong didn't care about the towering Son of Heaven and the terrifying Jinyi guard, and glanced at a Julu guard beside him.
The Kulu guard threw an imperceptible five-pointed star weapon and headed straight for the stone's head.
With a "clang", one step away from the stone, a dart came out of the sky, intercepting the five-pointed star that was advancing in a straight line from the side, and the five-pointed star fell to the ground gloomily.
The Kulu guards were shocked, and they stretched out their hands to throw them out, but Hu Weiyong gave him another look, signaling him not to move.
Although Hu Weiyong was eager to kill the obstacle in front of him, the current situation made it impossible to give him any chance.
More than a dozen brocade guards stood in front of the stone in a fan formation, and the rest of them protected the sedan chair.
They looked left and right, looking for the person who threw the weapon.
"Who are you? What's the matter with stopping the sedan chair? Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened angrily and shouted loudly.
