Chapter 30: Confronting Hu Weiyong (Seeking Follow-up)

Zhu Biao was not the only one who noticed Hu Weiyong, and Fang Jin in the distance had also been secretly looking at this historical celebrity.

At this time, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang were actually close colleagues.

According to the normal historical trajectory, these two have joined forces, preparing to attack Yang Xian, another civil official, and then install their own wings.

Zhu Biao's gaze swept over these people casually, and lingered on Liu Bowen for a while.

According to historical records, Liu Bowen was poisoned by Hu Weiyong.

But Liu Bowen is the earl of the founding of the country, even if Hu Weiyong has this heart, how can he do it without a trace?

What's more, after opening this head, in the future, the important ministers of the court will look at each other unpleasantly, and the poisoning will be over, isn't it a mess?

Or maybe Lao Zhu fabricated the other party's charge of poisoning Liu Bowen in order to punish Hu Weiyong.

A few cold lines of words in the history books can't actually unravel the layers of fog of history at all.

Zhu Biao didn't think that Lao Zhu killed Liu Bowen, after all, the latter's title was not cut off, and it was hereditary until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

With Lao Zhu's ruthlessness in cutting grass and roots, since he is going to kill you, why not get rid of the lord and leave hidden dangers for himself.

Look at the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, there are very few titles that can be hereditary.

Just when Zhu Biao was pondering the cause of Liu Bowen's death, someone came out below.

Zhu Biao's cousin, Li Wenzhong, who is also the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, stepped out of the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his nephew and nodded silently.

Li Wenzhong continued: "Your Majesty, now that the cold winter has passed, should the imperial court send troops to clear the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Shanxi and Hebei. ”

Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty has retreated to the grassland, it still covets the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and is ready to make a comeback at any time.

These hot-blooded men of the Ming Dynasty are also eager to attack the Tartar slaves in the north and establish immortal feats.

Zhu Biao's gaze swept over the Wenchen present.

These people, you look at me, I look at you, although there is a different color on their faces, but no one speaks.

There are many former Yuan ministers here, and Zhu Biao is clear about what he is thinking.

If there is a choice, most of these spineless scholars will choose to serve the former yuan and continue to be the privileged class of the common people.

Qufu, Shandong, where the Confucian family is located, is known as the holy land of scholars.

But every time the dynasty changes, the Kong family sees the wind and makes the rudder like grass on the wall, and those who read see it in their eyes, how can they not have ideas in their hearts.

You descendants of saints are so shameless, we who read should be well-educated!

However, the liquidation of the Mengyuan forces is the political correctness of the Ming Dynasty today, and those civil officials with different intentions, even if they do not agree, do not dare to refute it at this point in time.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the aggrieved expressions of these people who wanted to speak and stopped.

After Li Wenzhong finished speaking, he automatically returned to the queue.

Lao Zhu glanced around at everyone, and said, "Do you have any objections from the Qing family?" ”

The generals were in full swing and looked eager to try, but those civil officials gritted their teeth, but they were helpless.

At this time, Hu Weiyong came out of the list and said: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are now surviving, and it is no longer a problem, and my Ming Dynasty is at its peak, like the rising sun in the east, which can show the bearing of the Heavenly Empire. ”

"If the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are stubborn, it will not be too late for the imperial court to raise a crusade!"

Lao Zhu listened to Hu Weiyong's words and fell into a deep groan, as if he was really seriously considering Hu Weiyong's suggestion.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a harmonious monarch and minister, and Zhu Yuanzhang also trusts Hu Weiyong very much, after all, this guy's work ability is indeed very outstanding.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others are also rough people, who can compare to these readers, and they want to refute, but they don't know how to speak.

However, Zhu Biao has always had a serious prejudice against Hu Weiyong, and how could he get his wish.

"Hu Shenzheng, do you know why you want to launch a thunderous blow against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after the New Year?" Zhu Biao, who was standing on the steps, suddenly spoke.

Hu Weiyong's brows furrowed slightly, and a look of displeasure flashed in his heart.

Today's crown prince is still young and does not supervise the country, but only assists the emperor in handling government affairs, and this kind of major national affairs should not be interfered.

However, he was quite scheming, and after seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything, he understood that he recognized Zhu Biao's behavior, so he had to reply: "Your Highness, after winter every year, it is the most difficult time for the grassland people, and their sheep and cattle starve to death and freeze to death in large numbers. ”

"At this time, the army is attacking, it seems to be against the ......"

Zhu Biao didn't wait for Hu Weiyong to say the remaining words, so he preemptively said: "Now that the enemy is weak and I am strong, it is a God-given opportunity, at this time, if you don't take advantage of the enemy's weakness to give the other party a fatal blow, is it possible to wait for them to recover?" ”

"Hu Shenzheng, do you know that once the Northern Yuan recovers even a little bit of vitality, how many more good sons will die in our Ming army!"

Zhu Biao, who has always been gentle and elegant in front of civil and military officials, spoke in such a heavy tone for the first time.

Everyone couldn't help muttering in their hearts, did there ever be a festival between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Hu Weiyong before?

Hu Weiyong was also stunned, but this fourteen-year-old boy Lang in front of him was so domineering and heart-wrenching.

Although Zhu Biao did not name him directly, he implied that Hu Weiyong favored the Northern Yuan side and ignored the life of Daming Erlang.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it too well, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about the lives of our soldiers."

"These civil officials are broken-hearted!"

These are the voices of many generals present.

Zhu Yuanzhang also glanced at his son suspiciously, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that Biao'er and Hu Weiyong have a festival in private?

In fact, from Lao Zhu's point of view, what Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong said makes sense.

Historically, Lao Zhu launched the Northern Expedition again and again in order to clear the Northern Yuan forces, but if the Northern Yuan was willing to take the city and government, instead of delusionally trying to regain access to the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to bother.

But as long as people with a little brain know, how can the wolf ambition of the Northern Yuan people be easy to take the city to.

This time, it can be regarded as the butterfly effect caused by Zhu Biao.

Because of him, there are three more princes among the generals, and if the Northern Expedition can return victoriously this time, the balance between civil and military will be more tilted.

Hu Weiyong deliberately gave the generals some eye medicine.

Seeing that Hu Weiyong was silent, Zhu Biao continued unrelentingly: "Hu participates in politics, Gu has already clarified the truth, do you still stick to your original ideas!" ”

What do you say, will the old man not understand?

Hu Weiyong was simply angry, if Zhu Biao was not the prince, but the son of a certain court official, he would use all his resources to poison the other party!

Li Shanchang, who was standing in front of Hu Weiyong, scolded secretly in his heart: Everyone knows that Hu Weiyong is my person, and he deceives people too much!
