Zhu Yuanzhang was still praising Hu Weiyong with a smile on his face one second, but the next second, he asked in a calm tone:

"Hu Weiyong, do you know why we want to suppress you? ?"

Hu Weiyong saw that the emperor had brought up the old matter again, so he hurriedly knelt down and said with some fear:

"The minister guesses, it's King Xiaoming's business."

Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face, and still asked:

"What do you think?"

"What the minister originally thought was that the ministers had made great contributions to the emperor, and the emperor would reward the ministers."

Speaking of this, Hu Weiyong's head couldn't help but lower.

"Later, the minister thought that the emperor would not only not be the last minister, but would also exile the minister to the end of the world."

"In the end, kill the minister and cut off the minister's head."

Later, the minister thought again, whether it was killing the minister or rewarding the minister, the minister could only wait without regrets."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face finally changed a little, and he wondered:

"Why?"

"Since the minister chooses to follow the emperor, he has no hesitation, no matter life or death, honor or disgrace, it is the minister's destiny."

Hu Weiyong finally said what was in his heart.

A cold smile hung on the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth and said:

"Speculate on our minds without authorization, and pretend to be smart."

"Do we need to kill King Xiao Ming? With our merits and power, we can completely let Xiao Ming Wang Chan be in us. ”

"Don't do things above board, you have to be smart, kill Xiao Ming to play, and let us bear this eternal infamy."

"You say, should we punish you?"

Hu Weiyong was so frightened that he hurriedly threw himself to the ground, his face was full of panic, and he said with sincere fear:

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he is wrong."

"Over the years, every time Weichen thinks about it, he is heartbroken."

"Now that Wechen has changed his mind, I implore the emperor to give Wechen a chance."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not answer Hu Weiyong, but diverted the topic:

"You are a capable minister."

"But sometimes it's too much!"

"If, you often figure out the emperor's thoughts, regard yourself as the emperor's confidant, and kill without permission!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused, his tone became cold again, and he asked rhetorically:

"Over time, don't you take your own mind as the emperor's mind?"

"At that time, you say, are you the emperor, or are we the emperor?"

Hu Weiyong didn't dare to raise his head, but kept shouting:

"The minister is guilty, please atone for the emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around Hu Weiyong, and the words that came out of his mouth scared Hu Weiyong half to death.

"At the beginning, we wanted to kill you directly to relieve the hatred in our hearts!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he was instantly frightened and didn't dare to speak.

"But we can't bear it, we can't kill you!"

"Not only is I reluctant, but to tell you the truth, when we considered the position of prime minister of Zhongshu Province, we also thought of you."

If the first half of the sentence made Hu Weiyong fall into hell, then this sentence made Hu Weiyong fly from hell to heaven all of a sudden.

Hu Weiyong raised his head suddenly, his eyes burst out with surprise, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

"Hu Weiyong, we know your skills, if you release all your skills, you will definitely be more shrewd and capable than Li Shanchang."

"We have high hopes for you, I hope you won't let us down!"

"You know what we mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to praise Hu Weiyong, and Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to Hu Weiyong.

After all, he is an old brother who followed him to revolt in Haozhou, and he has real talent and hard work, so now he can praise him more, so that he can give himself a dead heart officer.

After hearing these praises, Hu Weiyong couldn't help himself with excitement, Rao is heart that has gradually become cold in the past few years, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates must repay the emperor's kindness."

With that, he slammed his head on the hard city wall.

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and smiled silently, no matter what, being able to gather the heart of such a capable minister still made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.

"Repair the city wall well, and when you are done with this, we have another important task."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left the city wall and returned to the upper study.

....

After Hu Weiyong was inspired by Zhu Yuanzhang, it took less than half a month to finish the expected one-month work.

Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly excited, and decided to let Hu Weiyong rest for a few days, and then let him take office in Zhongshu Province.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged the position for Hu Weiyong to participate in the politics of Zhongshu Province, although the grade is not high, but he can participate in the discussion of major national affairs, which is an important position.

After Hu Weiyong received the holy decree, he was even more grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The current Hu Weiyong has the emperor's attention, and with the support of Li Shanchang, the number one leader in Zhongshu Province, a broad road has appeared in front of him.

Next, just follow the steps and boil Li Shanchang, the teacher, until retirement, then the position of the prime minister of Zhongshu Province is what he has in his pocket.

Hu Weiyong did not rest in the past few days of rest.

He always remembered the tasks assigned to him by his teacher, and on the first day of rest, he hired a carriage to go to Shanghu County.

Hu Weiyong wanted to take advantage of the rest time in the past few days to find out the situation in Shanghu County.

Although Li Shanchang is his teacher, Hu Weiyong still thinks that Li Shanchang is really exaggerating about Shanghu County.

It may be that Shanghu County is indeed well governed, but it is definitely not as prosperous as described by Li Shanchang's subordinates, and it is likely that this person has no knowledge and talks nonsense in front of Li Shanchang.

If it is really as the person said, I am afraid that the county order of Shanghu County is not a person, but a demon, otherwise how could it be possible to create such a grand scene?

Hu Weiyong has made a decision about Shanghu County in his heart, that is, the nonsense of the subordinates, and ten percent can believe that one or two achievements are good.

But when Hu Weiyong really arrived in Shanghu County, he knew that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake, a big mistake, a big mistake, and a ridiculous mistake.

When Hu Weiyong saw the flat and wide gray-white avenue, he knew that Shanghu County was definitely not as simple as he thought.

When he came to the county seat and saw the cloud-like shops, the people shoulder to shoulder, and the high-rise buildings standing like a forest, Hu Weiyong only felt that his values were shattered by the impact.

Is there such a bustling city in the world?

Is there really a county town that can sweat into rain and wave its sleeves into clouds? This Shanghu County County Order is really terrifying.

In order to find out the true situation in Shanghu County, Hu Weiyong stayed here for three days.

In the past three days, he made a systematic count of Shanghu County from the composition of the city's people, the source of commerce, and the cultivation of land.

But this statistical result once again shattered Hu Weiyong's worldview.

The prosperity of this Shanghu County comes from Li Jin, the county commander of Shanghu County, and Li Jin has only been in office for less than five years to build Shanghu County into such a prosperous place.

Is this something that one person can do?

You must know that the city's taxes, if they are really collected, have far exceeded Yingtian, and even Yingtianfu may not be worth a county in Shanghu County!

Except for the monster, Hu Weiyong didn't know how to describe this Li Jin.

Fortunately, Hu Weiyong knew that Li Jin was a Huaixi person, so he planned to visit Li Jin.

But what happened next directly broke Hu Weiyong's perception of Li Jin and refreshed Hu Weiyong's outlook on life again.
