Chapter 65: The Emperor and the King
Outside the city of Nanjing.
In a remote farm, more than 100 farmers are tending to their crops and seedlings in an orderly manner.
On the ridge of the field, a young man greeted the busy farmer with a smile.
"Old Wu, this year's harvest shouldn't be bad, right?"
"The owner can rest assured, the rain after the beginning of summer is particularly sufficient, and a lot of grain will definitely be harvested in the autumn." A farmer who was bending down to pull weeds in the field got up and smiled back.
The young man nodded, and said with a smile: "That's good, last year's situation was too bad, and you didn't have a good harvest, so this year you will be exempted from a layer of rent......"
Before the young man could finish speaking, another middle-aged farmer laughed and said, "Haha! Owner, if you skip another layer, then you won't be able to harvest a grain of grain this year. ”
Hearing this, the young man was stunned, shook his head with a smile and said, "Heh! Didn't you think it would be so much free this year? ”
In previous years, the normal rent of the farm was three floors, which was actually very low in the entire Ming Dynasty.
However, last year, the grain harvest in the village was not good, and the tenants did not ask for a rent reduction because of this, and they still paid three floors.
The young man who had been away for a year did not know about it, but when he learned about it, he immediately exempted the two-story rent of the whole village.
At this time, because of a moment of joy, open and exempt another layer, then you won't be able to harvest food this year.
However, the young man was not annoyed, and waved his big hand and said, "Then you don't have to pay it this year, you have all lived a good life this year." ”
When a hundred or so farmers heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Don't do it, the owner of the village like this......"
The young man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe! It's good to be happy, you don't lack melons and jujubes. ”
At this time, a servant walked quickly, leaned into the young man's ear and whispered, "Master, Hu Xiang is here." ”
Farmhouse Mansion.
The young man walked into the living room leisurely and saw a middle-aged man sipping tea.
He smiled and said, "Hu Xianghao? ”
Hu Weiyong put down the teacup, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's rare to see the best Zhengshan small Wuyi tea, but the lord is willing to do it." ”
After the young man sat down, he pouted and said, "I can't get used to that taste, West Lake Longjing is my favorite." ”
Hu Weiyong shook his head, with regret on his face, since the emperor ordered the group tea to be made and changed to tribute loose tea, Wuyi tribute tea has gone downhill.
The quality of Wuyi loose tea on the market today is too low, and only the group tea left over from earlier can be called tribute.
Compared with the elegance of green tea, the strong tea feeling of black tea is more refreshing.
As the prime minister of the empire, Hu Weiyong has a lot of political affairs, and he is often still dealing with government affairs in the middle of the night.
Therefore, over the years, he developed the habit of drinking strong black tea.
Seeing him like this, the young man said leisurely: "If Xiang Hu likes it, he will take a few cakes with him later." ”
Hearing this, Hu Weiyong's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you Lord for the reward, but it will be disrespectful below!" ”
The young man waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's not worth mentioning!" ”
After the two talked a few words, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but say: "Lord, the Longju case has been accepted by the Spiritual Department, and they have sent someone to Jiayu ......."
The young man took a sip of tea, raised his hand and interrupted, "It's okay, the ponytail has been swept over there." ”
"......"
Seeing that Hu Weiyong was a little nervous, the young man smiled: "But you're worried about Jinyiwei? ”
Hu Weiyong nodded slowly and sighed: "It happened suddenly, and I was not prepared at all." ”
"Hu Xiang, it's for your good not to tell you about this." The young man put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have gone to the edict to see Hu Weibiao." ”
"Lord, I don't want to go at all, it's ......" He paused, and said with a somewhat pale face: "It's the sect leader who summons me, let me go down to persuade ......"
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, the young man threw down the teacup in his hand and said viciously: "Their hands are stretched too long, are they really decorations?" ”
Caught in this intricate network of relationships, Hu Weiyong felt tired.
Outsiders only say that he is below one person and above ten thousand.
Who knows that if it weren't for the pier in his early years, how could he have the glory he has today.
It's just that the resources borrowed at the beginning are now being repaid endlessly.
"Lord! Is it possible to ...... the Spiritual Cult?"
Hu Weiyong stood up and made a decapitation gesture.
The young man pondered for a moment, and said cautiously: "Xiang Hu has to consider this matter in the long run, without the resources in the sect, it is impossible for the big position to fall into the hands of the master." ”
Hearing this, Hu Weiyong calmed down, glanced at the young man, hugged his fists and said: "The great cause is the most important, and the only thing that is the master is the first to look forward." ”
Hearing this, the young man laughed and comforted: "Jinyi Wei Mao Xiang is a person in the sect, he will not chase you relentlessly, you can rest assured." ”
"Shhh
When he heard this, Hu Weiyong was taken aback!
At this moment, his eyelids jumped, but he didn't expect that the emperor's henchmen were also spirit cultists.
The corners of the young man's mouth rose, he was very satisfied with his reaction, and grinned: "Hu Xiang, why do you think the Spirit Clan attacked and killed the prince?" ”
"This ......"
Hearing this, Hu Weiyong was shocked, could it be that the Spirit Clan also has Spirit Sect disciples? It's nothing short of appalling.
Today, as if it was just to stimulate his heart, one after another shocked him.
However, what the young man said next made Hu Weiyong's blood pressure soar.
"Huh! Lingjiao is always an outsider, and only a person like Hu Xiangyou is the one who can rely on him. ”
"Rest assured, the Lord will surely smear his liver and brains!"
"Haha, that's great! When the lord ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, he will not hesitate to crown you on the throne. ”
"Wang ...... Throne! ”
King with a different surname!
Who doesn't want it?
Just when Hu Weiyong was shocked, the young man spoke amazingly again.
"Hereditary replacement, rest with the country!"
"Smack!"
At this time, Hu Weiyong's body was weak, and he knelt on the ground in a daze, and bowed his head after a while.
With his current status, there is no need to grovel so much.
But he knew in his heart that it was not the young man in front of him who was kneeling at this moment, but the golden throne of the future.

Lingwu Guan Ling Department West Division.
On the main seat of the inquiry room, Zhu Wengang looked carefully at the confession sent by Jinyiwei.
"Smack!"
Half an hour later, his face sank, he raised the shocking wood and tried to shoot it, and asked sharply: "Ye Yu, have you ever contacted Hu Weibiao in the Jiayu stronghold?" ”
Who?
Hu Weiyong, he knows, what the hell is this Hu Weibiao?
Ye Yu was a little stunned, and shook his head inexplicably: "Who is Hu Weibiao?" ”
Zhu Wengang frowned and shouted: "Recruit from the truth!" Why did you contact Jinyi Wei Hu Weibiao! ”
At this time, Ye Yu finally reacted, he may be talking about Hu Qianhu.
"I don't know him!"
"Hehe, don't you know? If you don't know, why would he feast you? ”
"Damn, how do I know? I didn't even go. ”
"Huh! You know Wang Lingwei, who was stationed in Jiayu before, right? ”
"Yes!"
"He died under the venom of the king beast, and the dragon colt also died from the venom of the king beast after examination."
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Hey, hard-mouthed?" Zhu Wengang's face was flushed, and he analyzed excitedly: "Earlier, Wang Lingwei and Hu Weibiao, the brocade guard, went out of the city to collect the venom of the king beast, and accidentally died of the venom.
Hu Weibiao found you after losing his help, he handed you the venom of the Beastmaster, and you ordered your auxiliary guards to pretend to escort the prince, and took the opportunity to poison the dragon foal on the way. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and shouted with joy on his face: "Yes and no? ”
"I'm your big watermelon!" Ye Yu grinned and scolded: "Haha, you are really a novelty, you are so good at making up stories, why don't you write novels?" ”
