Chapter 7: Hu Weiyong
Hu Changan was lying on the brocade quilt, eating tonic soup under the careful service of Dianhe.
Suddenly, the door of the east wing was vigorously pushed open.
Hu Changan looked up and drank, it turned out to be his cheap father.
Dad didn't know if he was walking in a hurry on a hot day, or he was angry, his face was flushed, and the red official uniform on his body that he had not yet had time to take off contrasted.
followed by Liu, the main mother who looked worried on the surface but actually had a snickering on the corner of her mouth, and her cheap mother Wang.
Before Wang could reprimand, he knelt on the ground crying with rain, and begged bitterly: "Master, think twice, Chang'an's injury is not healed now, if you move again, it will be difficult to raise it back." ”
Wang is genuinely worried. After all, she is just a concubine, and being favored is nothing more than relying on her mother and son to be expensive.
"Get out of the way." Hu Weiyong was angry, and didn't pay attention to Wang's obstruction, but just pushed Wang away, strode to Hu Changan's bed, and said coldly: "Rebel, do you know what is wrong?" ”
Originally, Hu Weiyong didn't have any big expectations for this old man, and it was already very good to inherit the Hu family honestly.
Going to the Qinglou, it can barely be said that he is a gentleman, and he has a close relationship with a businessman, which is simply a loss of the face of the Shi clan, if it is known by others, which self-proclaimed noble literati will still come to associate with the Hu family in the future?
The Liu family on the side, also fearing that the world would not be chaotic, added fuel and vinegar: "Chang'an, you can't do this." As the son of a scholar, how can he have an affair with a lowly businessman, and do you want to lose face in my Hu Mansion? ”
Hu Changan was originally a little stunned, not understanding what was going on, but when he heard Liu's this, he suddenly understood.
It seems that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the class system was far stricter than imagined.
However, Hu Changan didn't panic, just looked directly into Hu Weiyong's eyes fixedly, and said slowly: "Dad, I did this because of you." ”
"Because of me?" Hu Weiyong suddenly became even more angry, his round face turned into a long face, and he slapped the short man beside him with a fierce palm, and said angrily: "I finally earned a scholar status in the war, and I worked hard to climb to the position of the prime minister of the dynasty, one person is above ten thousand people, is it still my mistake now?" ”
"It's your fault, father." Hu Changan didn't let it go, and said sharply with his neck stalked.
"Am I at fault? My mistake was to raise you, a son who doesn't know how to be humble. Hu Weiyong was so angry that he turned his back on it, and he didn't care that his son was still lying on the bed wrapped in bandages, and he was about to beat him when he raised his hand.
Seeing this, Wang was so anxious that he almost went out of his body, and hurriedly rushed over and hugged Hu Weiyong's hand, crying and even spending makeup: "Master, think twice, master, you can have a son in Chang'an!" ”
Hu Changan was lying on the bed, not even symbolically dodging, but quietly asked Hu Weiyong: "Father, you are indeed powerful now, but have you ever thought about what the Hu family will be like in ten years?" ”
Hu Changan didn't want to be so high-profile.
Although the original owner is a standard evil young man, he admires and respects his father Hu Weiyong very much, and he doesn't even dare to breathe in front of Hu Weiyong, and it is easy to arouse suspicion if he rashly collapses his character.
But at this time, the arrow is on the line, and Hu Changan can no longer be allowed to subtly change Hu Weiyong's cognition.
In less than a month, the Champa envoys will visit Beijing.
At that time, Hu Weiyong was already fascinated by power, and such a major event as the foreign envoys coming to the DPRK did not report it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard about it, he was naturally furious, and directly put Hu Weiyong in prison, connected the nine clans, and completely abolished the prime minister system.
Although in hindsight, Zhu Yuanzhang may have had the heart to clean up Hu Weiyong a long time ago, and the occupation incident was just a line and an insignificant excuse.
But the flames must be extinguished first, and the others can only wait for Hu Changan to accumulate his own strength later, and then gradually clear the mines.
Hu Weiyong heard Hu Changan's rhetorical question, and replied without thinking: "The Hu family is naturally the richest family in Yingtian City ten years later, and your father and I still have fifteen years to reach out (retire)." ”
When Hu Weiyong said this, he was naturally full of confidence.
Although Hu Weiyong had vaguely felt Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction with himself, Hu Weiyong had also made sufficient preparations for this.
not only won over several generals in the army, but also married Hu Changan's sister Xu to the younger brother of Li Shanchang, the prince of the dynasty.
It can be said that most of the officials in the DPRK and China are now friendly with Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong is confident that no matter how bold Zhu Yuanzhang is, he will not take this minister of the Manchu Dynasty in one pot.
Hu Changan looked at his cheap father with a confident look, shook his head secretly in his heart, and retorted: "Dad, it may be a good choice to report to the group for warmth, but have you ever thought that if the saint is really determined to kill people today, do you have any way to stop it?" There are so many people in the world, why can't you fill the court? ”
Hu Weiyong was silent.
He couldn't help it.
Although there are many military generals who are good friends with Hu Weiyong, most of them do not grasp the actual military power, and the supreme power is still firmly controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang.
If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill someone, then no one can stop him.
Hu Changan saw that his cheap father fell into thought, and continued to chase after him: "Dad, now that you have been in charge of the government for more than five years, the current saint is originally a suspicious person, why would he repeatedly allow you to take away his power?" ”
Hu Weiyong thought about it carefully, and was shocked into a cold sweat.
Perhaps, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to settle accounts, but wanted to settle a general ledger in one go.
Combined with Zhu Yuanzhang's frequent anger towards himself a few days ago, that day may not be far away!
Hu Weiyong realized something, and looked at Hu Changan differently.
This kid doesn't do anything on weekdays, but who knew that today he gave himself such a big surprise.
Today's saint is strategizing, and even he, an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, is almost on the ground, and he is about to be boiled in warm water, but his son thinks about it thoroughly, and wakes up the dreamer with a word.
Hu Weiyong stretched out his hand and patted Hu Changan's shoulder approvingly: "You kid, it's not bad, you can think of this, and my father will pay attention to it in the future." ”
Whew, it's dangerous, fortunately Hu Weiyong is a smart person, and he finally reacted.
Hu Changan couldn't help but wipe his sweat silently in his heart, he didn't want to be punished by the Nine Clans with a golden finger.
Seeing that the fire was coming, Hu Changan finally added a fire.
"Dad, I'm doing this now to save the Hu family!"
"My son has recently invented something that can earn the Hu family a lot of wealth and status, and even if the saint wants to move the Hu family today, he will have to think twice."
Hu Weiyong listened, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyebrows, naturally he didn't believe it.
But as long as the son has this heart, he has his own affairs in the officialdom.
Hu Weiyong sat on the round bench next to the bed for a while, cared about Hu Changan's body, and left the East Wing with Liu and Wang.
Before leaving, Wang took a deep look at his son and felt quite relieved in his heart.
My son has finally grown up!
