It was Hu Wei, a slave of the Hu family, who came, leading a young man with an anxious face, who was Zhu Yu, the concubine of Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia.

"Hu Xiang! The old lady of the family sent down to report, saying that the father was far away in Beiping, and the brother was not in the house for some reason. ”

"Please make a note and come forward to save me!" Zhu Yu knelt outside the study and said.

"Who is it surrounding?" Hu Weiyong pushed open the study, but his face was puzzled.

"If there is any movement in the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate, it will definitely be reported to the Prime Minister as soon as possible. In addition to these three law divisions, who else dares to rashly surround the mansion of the dignified prince? ”

"Under ...... I don't know even below. Those people were all wearing flying fish suits, with embroidered spring knives on their waists, like wolves and tigers, but they were not afraid at all. Zhu Yu's face was frightened, as if he had palpitations.

The old lady came forward to scold, and they even detained the old lady. said that he was ordered to arrest the lawless, and then he dug three feet into the ground in the house......"

"On orders? Arrest for illegality? Hu Weiyong's brows furrowed even deeper. There are only three legal divisions that have the power to arrest lawbreakers. When did such a group of people come to Beijing? ”

"Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife...... Isn't it Jinyiwei? ”

Hu Weiyong's eyes widened.

No wonder he was surprised. The predecessor of the Jinyi Guard, the Gongwei Division, was the near side of the Gongwei Emperor, but it was just the palace guard. Later, it was renamed Jinyiwei, and everyone in the court thought that this was just a quirk attack that Lao Zhu liked to choose a name, so he changed the name of his janissary to play.

After all, Lao Zhu likes to choose names, which is almost a well-known thing in Daming.

The names of the descendants of the Zhu family have been drafted by him in advance for dozens of generations, and they are enough for nearly a thousand years. It's just a matter of changing the name of the Praetorian Guard, what's the matter?

But no one has ever noticed that Jinyiwei has not just changed his name.

Instead, even the entire system composition has been changed.

"Eun Xiang!" The person next to him feels that something is wrong. It should be known that according to the system, the original law of the imperial court should be in the hands of the "three law divisions" of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Inspectorate.

Since the incident of Ru Taisu, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has resigned himself to the party of King Wu and seems to be intent on making it stronger. The crown prince was hindered by the debt, and restricted the subordinate officials from interfering in the affairs of the Wu Wang's party. Hu Weiyong took advantage of the name of Zhu Su, the king of Wu, and gradually stretched out his hand to the three law divisions, and now nearly half of the officials of the three law divisions are under the door of his left minister Hu Weiyong.

It is precisely because he has grasped the three legal divisions and restrained the judicial organs of the three imperial courts that Hu Weiyong has no fear, thinking that he can already tilt the power of the government and the opposition, and no one can control him.

But at this time, a brocade guard who can "be ordered to arrest the lawless" suddenly appeared?

can act suddenly, and be so quiet in advance, this brocade guard must not be temporarily ordered, otherwise, at this time, it should be in a hurry and full of loopholes. It is impossible to wait for someone from Yongjiahou Mansion to ask for help, and then he will learn the information.

This brocade guard must have been in preparation for a long time.

So who is it most likely for Your Majesty to secretly develop this organization? Who are you going to use it against?

Hu Weiyong's cold sweat has seeped out.

"Tu Cheng, you go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate quickly to find out what mistakes the Yongjiahou Mansion has made, and you actually want Your Majesty's pro-army to take people personally."

"Hu Wei, you take my note to Yongjiahou Mansion and see if you can delay those brocade guards."

"Don't go!" Outside, a voice said. Immediately afterwards, a pale figure carried the hem and hurried in, it was Hu Weiyong's other sworn friend, Chen Ning, who was the imperial historian at the time.

"Hu Xiang! His Majesty has asked the people of Jinyi Wei to summon the people of the Three Dharma Divisions into the palace, which is called a summons, but in fact it is an escort! ”

"Those wolf-like brocade guards are very tightly guarded, and it is really difficult to get a message!"

"I happened to be in a hurry to pay tribute in the thatched house at that time, so I had the opportunity to get news from outside the city, and I hurriedly came to repay the favor."

"Woe to the sky, woe to the heavens!" As he spoke, Chen Ning thumped his chest and stood up.

"That's exactly what happened." Only then did Hu Weiyong know why he didn't receive any news. "Tell me, what's going on?"

"In the early hours of this morning, His Royal Highness King Wu was assassinated by Zhu Xian, the prince of Yongjia Hou, in Qixiadu."

"King Wu was in a hurry, and stabbed the prince of Yongjia Hou to death with his backhand!"

"Now the Yongjiahou Mansion has long been surrounded by the Jinyi Guard!"

"What...... What! ”

Hu Weiyong was still able to maintain a steady appearance as a prime minister, but after hearing Chen Ning's words, his short body shook and almost fell to the ground.

Zhu Yu of the Yongjiahou Mansion fainted directly.

No one cares about a lowly concubine, but in the face of the crumbling Hu Weiyong, Tu Cheng next to him even forgot to reach out to help him.

Hu Weiyong, who almost fell to the ground, had to stabilize his body, and as soon as he stood firmly, he hurriedly grabbed Chen Ning's shoulders and shook him desperately. "How is that possible? The prince of Yongjia Hou is young and old, how can he do such a thing of assassinating the king and killing the driver? ”

"That's what the messenger said!" Chen Ning was caught by Hu Weiyong, but he didn't dare to dodge. "It is said that the prince of Yongjia Marquis coveted the cement business of King Wu, and together with the Goryeo people could not get it, he was angry and angry......"

"Nonsense!" Before Hu Weiyong could react, Tu Chengcheng over there had already reprimanded loudly. "Zhu Xian is not a fool, for the sake of business, he teamed up with the Goryeo to assassinate the king? Who can believe it? ”

"But the prince of Yongjia Hou must be really dead!" Chen Ning said. "Otherwise, why did Your Majesty strike first and let people copy the Yongjiahou Mansion?"

"......" Hu Weiyong was stunned for a while, and Fang angrily punched the pillar.

"Shaft! Bad for me! ”

He only felt irritated. Zhu Su's falling out with the Yongjiahou Mansion as a noble will inevitably lead to the separation of those nobles who are attached to him and Zhu Su's subordinates. The military power in his hands Hu Weiyong naturally has to be greatly discounted.

He couldn't have imagined that Zhu Su would destroy the Great Wall and directly break with the Yongjiahou Mansion!

“…… Enxiang, this is the time for the strong man to untie his wrist. It is time to give up King Wu and protect the heart of the noble! Chen Ning persuaded.

"You're right." Hu Weiyong fixed his mind.

The incident happened suddenly, and I couldn't help but mess up. Chen Ning's words made him clear his mind again.

"It's not small, but it's not big." He took a deep breath and struggled to smile as much as he could. It's just that the face is reluctant.

"I'm waiting for my wings to be full, and it doesn't matter if I have this King Wu or not. The important thing is to preserve the military power in order to be able to compete with Xu Da and other generals in the army. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as your true appearance doesn't fall, you Yongjiahou Mansion, sooner or later, there will be a day to rise again."

"Thank you, Hu Xiang!" Zhu Yu bowed.

Hu Weiyong was relieved. Yes, now most of the three provinces and six departments are under control, although Jinyiwei was unexpected, but now that something happened suddenly, His Majesty asked him to raid the Yongjiahou Mansion has already missed his tracks, and he has his own way to prevent it in the future. It is also easy to keep the Yongjiahou Mansion, just attack Zhu Su, the king of Wu. His excuse for killing Zhu Xian is full of loopholes, even if His Majesty intends to protect his parents and son, he can't risk the world's condemnation.

The prince of the Heavenly Family is good at killing the noble prince, which will inevitably make those nobles with heavy soldiers panic.

And his own protection can also make the Marquis of Yongjia Mansion and other nobles who are separated from the Zhu family feel closer to him Hu Weiyong.

"That brocade guard should be a dark chess left by His Majesty."

"The Fifth Highness is doing nonsense, and it may be a good thing to expose Your Majesty's secret chess early."

"If the sharp knife of Jinyiwei comes out of the sheath, it will cut at me, but it is not good for the embankment."

"Now let Yongjiahou take this knife first, and I will be prepared in the future. With preparation, it is natural to be able to prevent it. ”

"Unless, this sharp knife can find some reason today and cut me Hu Weiyong together."

"Oh, but how is this possible, unless the prophet on the dragon chair can not be predicted, as early as when I am still submissive, he will install secret agents to guard against ......"

was secretly rejoicing in his heart, but unexpectedly, another house slave ran in outside, running over and over again, while shouting loudly:

"Sir! Master! Oh no! ”

"There is a group of people outside who say that they are on order to handle the case, and the leader claims to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard."

"With a group of soldiers, surround our Prime Minister's Mansion!"
