Chapter 33 Hu Weiyong

Hu Weiyong sighed in his heart, Ma Sanbao was testing him before, he was indeed too radical, and he had to re-examine the child in front of him, this child was even more important than he imagined, Hu Weiyong, who had always been scheming and cautious, almost fell in front of Ma Sanbao.

"I almost showed my stuff in front of this kid, but this kid is very good at seizing the opportunity to ask me! Be careful! Hu Weiyong thought in his heart, his eyes were staring at Ma Sanbao tightly, for fear of making a little mistake, Hu Weiyong couldn't have imagined that the young child actually had a set of tricks in playing, he looked at Ma Sanbao's ill-intentioned smile, and wanted to kill Ma Sanbao on the spot, but unfortunately with Zhu Di on his side, he couldn't start.

"Prime Minister, I dare not assert whether what you say is true or not, so follow me to Your Majesty's visit, you talk freely in front of Your Majesty, if you can still talk to me with the same certainty, I will believe what you say, how about it?" Ma Sanbao raised his eyebrows and stared at Hu Weiyong for a long time.

"Yes, Prime Minister, you follow us to Your Majesty, in fact, I still trust the Prime Minister very much that he will not ignore the law of the country and do something rebellious, but Wen and Brother Xian didn't listen, and insisted that I come to the Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I still believe that you are innocent. Do you think you won't be wronged by coming with us? Zhu Di opened his mouth, he sang and harmonized with Ma Sanbao, don't look at him on the surface and Ma Sanbao is singing against him, in fact, he just wants to stimulate Hu Weiyong, this is the psychological tactics that Ma Sanbao taught him on the road, in his previous life, when Ma Sanbao was still Zheng Qi, he used this method to get a lot of words out of the mouths of his rebellious subordinates, and now, they have joined forces to deal with Hu Weiyong, just waiting for Hu Weiyong to take the set.

"No comment! Ma Wenhe, you have a nine-grade official position, why should you take me away? Although I am not the prime minister of the first grade, I am still the official position of the second grade, if you come to arrest me, will it seem a little unqualified? Hu Weiyong waved his sleeve robe and waved his hand to signal his attendants to send Ma Sanbao out of his mansion.

The attendants were about to make a move, and outside Hu Weiyong's mansion, a strong and powerful voice sounded, "I think who dares to touch the person appointed by His Majesty?" Hu Weiyong, he is not qualified, do I have it? His voice stiffly interrupted the attendants who wanted to chase away the guests, all the attendants stood aside, even Hu Weiyong looked outside the mansion with some doubts, listening to the familiar voice, frowning, thinking about who the owner of the voice was.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there was not only one person in the Criminal Department, there were six people, these people were all second-grade officials, don't look at Hu Weiyong as the prime minister, and now he has been demoted to a first-class position, which is no different from the second-grade official position, Hu Weiyong, who was above Wei Ze before, can only drink Wei Ze on an equal footing.

Hu Weiyong saw the criminal department Shangshu, his heart inevitably rose fear, as far as his current official position, he can convict him, naturally the criminal department Shangshu and His Majesty, he was not afraid of Ma Sanbao, it is precisely because although Ma Sanbao is the superintendent of the imperial history, but he can't convict him, now it's different, there is a criminal department Shangshu who is on an equal footing with him, if he suspects that the criminal department Shangshu is not qualified to bring him to the main hall, then his head will say goodbye to his neck.

"Hu Weiyong, long time no see." Wei Ze was not polite to Hu Weiyong, although he and Hu Weiyong were old acquaintances, but the relationship between the two did not seem to be particularly relaxed, Wei Ze spoke coldly to Hu Weiyong, and he didn't look at Hu Weiyong at all.

"Brother Wei, I don't know what kind of wind blew you here?" Hu Weiyong smiled, he looked down on Ma Sanbao's official position before, and this Wei Ze's official position is as big as him, he looks down on Ma Sanbao, but he can't look down on Wei Ze, if Wei Ze is unhappy, maybe if the emperor himself accuses himself of evil, he will strip off his clothes and enter the prison to become a prisoner.

"Your Majesty's will, please also ask Brother Hu to come with me!" Wei Ze didn't even look at Hu Weiyong, and dropped a sentence coldly, and Hu Weiyong followed Wei Ze to the carriage very reluctantly.

On the carriage, the atmosphere was extremely cold, no one was willing to speak, Ma Sanbao looked at Hu Weiyong with a ride, carefully observed Hu Weiyong's every move, he had a hunch that this prison robbery must be related to Hu Weiyong, maybe he can find out the anti-party faction behind Hu Weiyong.

To be able to dig out all the opposition parties behind Hu Weiyong, it is definitely a great achievement, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang is happy, and Ma Sanbao also has the opportunity to be crowned marquis, but Ma Sanbao is not here, he still misses the life of driving a big boat, he wishes that he would grow up early and return to the field he is good at to drive a big ship to play naval warfare.

Seeing that the palace was close at hand, Hu Weiyong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he endured the panic in his heart, and in this battle at the moment, it was obvious that he would not give him good fruit to eat, so he had to pretend to be calm, and followed Ma Sanbao and others step by step on the steps to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's dormitory is like his second office location, seeing that the criminal department Shangshu and the former left prime minister Hu Weiyong arrived together, Ma Gonggong hurriedly reported to Zhu Yuanzhang who was drinking tea with Wang Guangyang, the right prime minister, in the palace, in order to wait for Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang has pushed off a lot of affairs and handed them over to the following departments to deal with, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to Hu Weiyong's case.

The door of the dormitory slowly opened, and during the time when the door was open, Hu Weiyong felt his heartbeat faster, and for the first time, he felt so frightened in the face of His Majesty, he even wanted to escape, but there were a large number of officers and soldiers around him, and Wei Ze, the secretary of the criminal department, stared at him, and he couldn't fly.

When Hu Weiyong walked outside the dormitory, he saw the figure of drinking tea with Zhu Yuanzhang inside, he looked at it for a long time, although this person was dressed sloppily, Hu Weiyong felt very familiar, he wondered why His Majesty would drink tea with the beggar, and soon, when the beggar he identified raised his head, the shock in his heart surged into his head, and he almost imprinted how you are still alive on his face.

Isn't the person who shocked Hu Weiyong the right prime minister Wang Guangyang, who used to be on an equal footing with Hu Weiyong? In his opinion, Wang Guangyang should have been designed by him and sent to Hainan by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect to see Wang Guangyang in Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom, for a while, Hu Weiyong was shocked, and felt that his inner world was about to collapse, his biggest handle was in the hands of the right prime minister Wang Guangyang, Wang Guangyang also understood most of the details of his rebellion against the party, as long as Wang Guangyang was there, he Hu Weiyong's fate was definitely not alive.

"Brother Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!" Wang Guangyang in the dormitory did not have the death breath in prison at all, and the whole person was in a lot of spirit, although he was leaning and ragged, he had a bit of the demeanor of the former prime minister, he stared at Hu Weiyong for a long time, and the muddy old eyes were mixed, and a feeling that Hu Weiyong couldn't explain came to his heart.

Hu Weiyong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was pouring tea, said, "Zhu Aiqing enters the hall without courtesy, you don't have to kneel down, just drink tea and chat as an ordinary friend, let's talk casually, everyone, talk about Hu Weiyong." ”

"Brother Hu, don't be nervous, come on, sit down and talk about your future." Wang Guangyang spoke, the vicissitudes of life in Hu Weiyong's ears like a death knell ringing in his ears, he looked nervous, he knew that he would run away, ran away with his son, and saw his son escape from prison, but he was not far from death.

Hu Weiyong walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, every step was difficult, and he stared at Zhu Yuanzhang nervously for a long time with gray hair these days.

"Sit, I, I'll pour you a cup of tea myself, Wenhe, talk about what you've seen and heard today." Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was flat, but every word hit Hu Weiyong's heart very heavily, Hu Weiyong was in a cold sweat, and the hand holding the teacup was trembling.

The tea rolled in his mouth, and he showed a difficult look like swallowing lead, "Everyone, I have a question, I don't know why I was called, shouldn't I have thought about it in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Hu Weiyong, are you still pretending not to know? Based on your expression in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, you have betrayed you, and you have long expected that Hu Pengju will escape from prison, right? Before anyone else could speak, Ma Sanbao's immature voice appeared in Hu Weiyong's ears, Hu Weiyong was startled, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Wenhe, you misunderstood, I didn't hear Your Majesty announce Pengju's death, so I will naturally refute that you Pengju is not dead, if you stand in my position, you must be the same as me, not like a white-haired person sending a black-haired person." Hu Weiyong spoke, he had been tentatively observing Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Zhu Yuanzhang drank tea very calmly, his black eyes stared at Hu Weiyong for a long time, the emperor's heart was like an abyss, no matter how Hu Weiyong guessed, he couldn't guess Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

After listening to Hu Weiyong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "What the prime minister said is very true, if Di'er is imprisoned, I may think the same way." ”

Hu Weiyong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and just when he thought he was safe, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Put aside the matter of robbing the prison first, Hu Weiyong, I ask you, are you loyal to Daming?" After that, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face in front of Hu Weiyong, looking at Hu Weiyong carefully, provoking Hu Weiyong's heart, he has always been cautious, at this moment he stared at Wang Guangyang for a long time, Wang Guangyang's appearance broke all his expectations, cold sweat continued to flow down his forehead to his back, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
