Hu Changan was stared at by Zhu Yuanzhang's fiery gaze, and smiled slightly in his heart.

Sure enough, it took the bait.

Seeing this, Hu Changan also took out a roll of rice paper from his arms and handed it to the eunuch beside him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, here is the recipe for making rum, and the grass people will dedicate it to Your Majesty, hoping that the people of the whole country can drink this rum." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly happy.

Now, the grain originally used to make wine can be eaten by the poor, and many poor people can be freed from starvation!

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said excitedly: "This is a great achievement, let's say, what reward do you want?" ”

Suddenly, the Huaixi faction led by Hu Weiyong showed a happy smile.

I didn't expect Hu Weiyong's son to be quite powerful, and he actually contributed to a great achievement.

Recently, His Majesty has always looked at the Huaixi faction unpleasantly, openly and secretly picking thorns, and now he can finally raise his eyebrows!

The opponents of the Huaixi faction, the Zhedong faction, were all depressed and depressed.

Unexpectedly, this time, he was still suppressed by the Huaixi faction.

At the moment when everyone was thinking differently, Hu Changan suddenly knelt down with his robe and said straight to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the grass people don't want any reward, I just ask Your Majesty to forgive my father's sins." ”

"Oh, what sin?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Changan at the bottom of the steps, his eyes were neither sad nor happy.

"Embezzlement." Hu Changan straightened up and said in a deep voice to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Suddenly, the ministers in the main hall were stunned.

No one expected that Hu Changan would blow himself up directly.

Corruption is such a thing, and people in the officialdom will get a little bit of it, it's just a matter of how much.

Since everyone has it, then naturally everyone is blind to it, as long as they don't go too far.

But this kind of thing must not be said on the surface.

Everyone knows that today's saint Zhu Yuanzhang hates corrupt officials the most, and he is caught and executed.

Hu Weiyong was so frightened that he staggered out of the queue directly, made a five-body bow to Zhu Yuanzhang, and cried: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Xia Guan has been in politics for many years, and he will never dare to be corrupt. The ignorance of the dog disturbed His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. ”

Saying that, Hu Weiyong was about to step forward and pull Hu Changan away, lest Hu Changan, a ruthless man, continue to blow himself up.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in Hu Changan, and waved his hand to stop him: "Hu Weiyong, you step back, Hu Changan, you continue to say, why is your father corrupt?" ”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had long known about Hu Weiyong's series of corruption evidence from Jinyiwei, but it was only because the Huaixi Party was quite powerful in the DPRK and China, so it was not triggered.

And if you really talk about it, Zhu Yuanzhang is also from Huaixi, and he can be regarded as half of the Huaixi Party, if he really moves towards the Huaixi Party, it will undoubtedly weaken his own power.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang has been hesitating all these years, hoping to find a safe way to balance the forces in the DPRK and China.

It's a pity that Hu Weiyong doesn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's deep meaning, and in recent years, he has become more and more presumptuous in forming parties for personal gain.

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to make up his mind to get rid of Hu Weiyong and his henchmen recently, but Hu Weiyong suddenly clamped his tail and behaved honestly.

This series of unexpected developments greatly aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's interest.

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see what else this good son of Hu Weiyong can say.

Hu Changan took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, shook off his father's pull, and continued to kneel down and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, in recent years, my father Hu Weiyong has taken advantage of his position to make a lot of money, seize the land of peasants on the outskirts of the city, and still form a party in the DPRK and China for personal gain, which is really disrespectful." ”

"As a son, I see it in my eyes and hurt it in my heart."

"I want to organize, but I can't do it because I'm too young, so I can only use alcohol to kill my sorrows and indulge in Flower Street and Willow Lane."

"Now, the grass people can't help it."

"In the past, there was righteousness to destroy relatives, and now there is my son Hu Weiyong who denounces his father for righteousness."

"I hope Your Majesty will punish him severely."

"Then you say, how should you punish your father severely?" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, as if he was not talking about Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the dynasty, but just a weed on the side of the road.

"Naturally, he was dismissed from his official position and demoted from Beijing."

What! A whisper suddenly echoed in the Taihe Palace, and the ministers never thought that this Hu Changan would be so ruthless to his father.

In fact, Hu Changan has no choice.

Through the memory of the original owner and the observation of Hu Weiyong these days, Hu Changan found that his cheap father was an official fan who regarded his official position as more important than his own life.

If you want to persuade Daddy to hand over power obediently, it is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, it is better to directly blow himself up and cut off my father's official road.

Since he was degraded out of Beijing and transferred to a local place, he can still retain some authority and enjoy the glory and wealth.

If it were Zhu Yuanzhang's action, it would be impossible to be so merciful, and the punishment of the nine clans was just a basic operation.

Just when the ministers were shocked, Hu Changan was speechless and endless, and burst out even more shocking words: "The grass people suggest that Your Majesty abolish the position of prime minister forever in order to prevent future troubles." ”

What!

Among the ministers, they suddenly remembered and exclaimed, and several figures immediately flew out of the ranks, snorting at Zhu Yuanzhang and tearing up: "Your Majesty, the prime minister system is a system that has lasted for nearly a thousand years, and it cannot be abolished!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was also secretly shocked in his heart.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to depose Hu Weiyong, not only because Hu Weiyong was dictatorial and arbitrary, but more importantly, the prime minister system had seriously threatened the imperial power.

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the prime minister system in one fell swoop!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang has never mentioned this idea to anyone, even the Jinyi Guards and important ministers in the court around him, Zhu Yuanzhang is also tight-lipped as a bottle.

Now the secret buried in his heart was suddenly exposed by Hu Changan, even Zhu Yuanzhang could not calm his turbulent heart.

In the panic of everyone in the Taihe Palace, Hu Changan looked calm, knelt in place and quietly looked at everyone's faces with different expressions.

Hu Changan knew that Zhu Yuanzhang not only wanted to eradicate the friends led by Hu Weiyong this time, but also abolished the power of the prime minister.

Because if you simply can't get used to Hu Weiyong, just abolish Hu Weiyong and replace him with an honest person as prime minister.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not, but directly took the opportunity to abolish the prime minister.

Because as long as there are friends in the DPRK, there will be thousands of Hu Weiyong who will be elected.

At that time, the DPRK and the Central Committee will only fear the power of the prime minister, but no longer the authority of the Son of Heaven!

Only by completely abolishing the prime minister system can the authority of the Son of Heaven be further strengthened, and only then can he truly control the imperial court and balance the forces of all parties, instead of being constrained by the forces of the court and China, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Rather than letting Zhu Yuanzhang propose the abolition of the prime minister system by severely punishing Hu Weiyong, it is better for Hu Changan to take the lead in proposing it.

Only in this way can Zhu Yuanzhang achieve his ultimate goal and protect his father.

To protect Daddy's Nine Clans is to protect Hu Changan himself!
