56. On the eve of the downfall
After the singing of "The Legend of the West Chamber", Zhu Yuanzhang went to Fengtian Hall with unfinished thinking.
In front of the Fengtian Palace, Ying Tianfu Yin stood nervously in place.
At this moment, his heart is full of contradictions.
He was very anxious and wanted His Majesty to come over immediately to listen to his report, but he also hesitated that His Majesty would send him away, and he didn't know where His Majesty was standing!
At the moment, he was in a dilemma.
"Da Da Da-"
"Da Da Da-"
Zhu Yuanzhang took vigorous steps, just listening to the rhythmic footsteps, he should be in a good mood at the moment!
But his face was as plain as water, and he couldn't see any expression except for the imperial spirit that was not angry and arrogant.
"Minister, I've seen Your Majesty!"
Seeing Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang coming, Ying Tianfu Yin hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"No need to be polite!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and down, and when he saw Ying Tianfu Yin standing, he changed his left and right leg supports back and forth twice.
Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned to the little eunuch beside him and said, "Go, move a stool!" ”
"Ahh Ying Tianfu Yin was stunned, a little flattered.
After reacting, he hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your compassion!" ”
"Tell me, what do you have to tell us about this time?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair as he spoke, looking at Ying Tianfu Yin, who had been standing for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the minister has prepared a submission, and I ask Your Majesty to look at it!"
Ying Tianfu Yin presented a note and a petition with both hands.
The little eunuch on one side handed the things to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already guessed it in his heart, but he still had to make a show in the face of Ying Tianfu Yin!
Ying Tianfu Yin at the bottom looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a serious face very nervously, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
"How can it be!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said, "We still know Hu Weiyong's character, how can there be such a thing?" ”
Ying Tianfu Yin below couldn't help but shudder.
He didn't expect that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang would have this attitude.
When I thought of my previous rhetoric, I suddenly felt ashamed, I was really cowardly!
can think of the cries of those who complained about grievances, but it doesn't look like they were acted!
As a parent official, if he blindly clings to power, it will be contrary to his original intention of being an official!
What's more, at this moment, his own recital and the petition are already in the hands of His Majesty.
He is riding a tiger at the moment, and there is no way back at all!
Ying Tianfu Yin nodded solemnly, and made a decision in his heart!
Anyway, it's a dead end, so before you die, you will be a courtier who dares to admonish, and a parent official who really makes decisions for the people!
I'm already going to die, and I'm still holding a ball!
Isn't it just Hu Weiyong, even if it is Li Shanchang, he is fearless!
"Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive, and many merchants have been bitter for a long time!"
Ying Tianfu Yin patted his chest, his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, he felt that he was full of righteousness at the moment, and he was not afraid of broken bones!
"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Hu Weiyong is our minister, how can he ......?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was directly interrupted by Ying Tianfu Yin halfway through his words.
"Your Majesty, you can't listen to and believe partially!" Ying Tianfu Yin said excitedly, "They all signed the petition!" ”
Ying Tianfu Yin, who said this, was also shocked by his behavior just now, and broke out in a cold sweat.
The little eunuch on one side was even more frightened and covered his mouth.
This Ying Tianfu Yin was too bold, not only interrupting His Majesty's words, but also directly accusing His Majesty of listening and believing.
That's not enough to cut ten heads!
The little eunuch felt that he was going to be unlucky today, and if His Majesty was angry, he would not be able to escape it.
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with wide eyes, "In your heart, we are like this?" ”
"Your Majesty is not, but I'm afraid that no one below will reflect with Your Majesty, so I ......"
"Hahahaha!"
Before he finished his words, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally angry with a straight face, laughing heartily.
"We really didn't see the wrong person, you are really not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't be nervous, we know about this!" ”
"We must let people check, the people's business is our business!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Although we are now the emperor, we were also ordinary people in the past!" ”
"We will never allow this to happen!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Come on, call the criminal department!" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Ying Tianfu Yin realized that everything before was a temptation by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang for himself.
Fortunately, I kept the bottom line, otherwise I would have to move my head.
"From tomorrow, you will assist the Criminal Department and the Gong Wei Division to handle the case, and this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen under our feet!"
"Yes, the minister will do his best!"
Ying Tianfu Yin immediately said, this is a good opportunity for him to increase his merits, he must seize it!
"Alright, let's go down!"
"Retire!"
……
The secretary of the criminal department was late, and after Zhu Yuanzhang talked with him, he instructed Mao Xiang to act according to the plan.
On the second day, after the morning pilgrimage.
Zhu Yuanzhang issued the will, and the notice was quickly posted to all corners of Yingtian.
In an instant, a thorough investigation of Hu Weiyong's matter became the biggest hot search in Yingtian City.
Everyone was talking about each other, and of course, Zhang Muzhi heard about it without exception.
"Childe, do you think we have a chance to take Hu Weiyong down this time?"
"Naturally, there is, now that the Hu family is surrounded, his only backer, the Li family, has withdrawn his sleeves, and Hu Weiyong will definitely be defeated!"
"It's still childe-high!" Wang Shan echoed.
"It's not really about how smart I ......"
"It's that Hu Weiyong is too stupid."
"Wrong, Hu Weiyong is not stupid!" Zhang Muzhi said, "Not only is he not stupid, but he almost put us to death!" ”
"Do you know where we won?"
"Childe's unparalleled intelligence!"
"Not all right!" Zhang Muzhi said, "It depends on our small number of people, and the most important thing is that you know that you are not very smart, so you will not act without permission!" ”
"The original thing about the frosting was that Hu Gao was smart!"
"The shop was smashed, it was Hu Ying's self-righteousness!"
Zhang Muzhi said, "If it weren't for them, we might not be able to win!" ”
"So sometimes, there are too many people under your hands, which is not necessarily a good thing, but it is easier to overturn!" Zhang Muzhi said, "In this whole matter, Hu Weiyong did not make a single mistake, he was very shrewd." The bad is bad for these people around him! ”
Three days later.
Morning upwards.
"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong's matter has been thoroughly investigated!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to take a look!" ”
After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, "That is the case, Hu Weiyong can cut off his official position, and the household department and the criminal department will immediately send people to raid the house!" ”
