"Teacher, the student hasn't come to visit for many days, and I hope the teacher won't blame you!"

Among the mansions of the former Prime Minister Lee Sun-chang.

Hu Weiyong, the current prime minister, stepped into Li Shanchang's house with a hand salute and a humble attitude.

The relationship between Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang can be said to have always been extremely ambiguous.

At the beginning, Liu Bowen himself pushed behind the scenes and sent his apprentices to the front.

After being inspired by Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, who was at the peak of his career, also managed to retreat bravely.

And when he stepped down, he was naturally replaced by Hu Weiyong today.

It's just that what Li Shanchang didn't expect was that Hu Weiyong is now gradually out of his control.

However, today, Hu Weiyong took the initiative to come to the door, and Li Shanchang didn't have to think about it to know that this guy had definitely encountered something difficult.

"Tell me, have you encountered any bottlenecks lately? Is it a court thing, or something else? ”

Although Li Shanchang had heard of some of Hu Weiyong's private deeds, after weighing the pros and cons, he still did not choose to completely break off the relationship with Hu Weiyong.

In particular, after Hu Weiyong used interests as bait to bring Li Shanchang's younger brother into the game.

He couldn't completely break the bond with Hu Weiyong.

"To tell you the truth, teachers and students always feel as if they are in danger lately, but the students are ignorant and can't figure out where the danger is coming from."

"Recently, above the court"

Hu Weiyong was not the slightest surprised that his mentor Li Shanchang could see at a glance that he was coming with doubts.

At the same time, he also knew that in front of his teacher, he had no need to hide it.

So, after Li Shanchang asked, Hu Weiyong slowly said some of the things that had happened recently.

Resist the Jinyi Guard, the grain and grass secretly transferred in the imperial court, and the sergeants.

There is also Chu Ze, who has sprung up.

These things that can be said, Hu Weiyong put them all in front of Li Shanchang.

And when he finished narrating everything, Li Shanchang's originally calm expression couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

"You mean that the soldiers of the domestic grain and grass are all mobilized, but you, the prime minister, didn't know anything before! Moreover, His Majesty still seems to be deliberately hiding it from you? ”

"Almost, I have asked His Majesty about this, but I have not received an answer."

"Weird"

Grain and grass and sergeant scheduling, these things should not bypass the prime minister anyway.

However, what should not have happened at this time has actually happened.

If His Majesty deliberately wants to avoid Hu Weiyong, then it is very likely. Your Majesty doesn't trust him anymore.

Fear that he will leak secrets, or rather, worry that he will know something in advance

If it's just the former, then it's okay to say, after all, Li Shanchang knows that Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a very suspicious person.

It was not strange for him to suspect anyone.

But if it's the latter, then that's not the case.

"Let's talk about Chu Ze who has sprung up, what is the origin of this person? What is the background? ”

Li Shanchang was also a little unsure of Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts for a while, so he could only temporarily focus on other places.

For example. Chu Ze.

If Hu Weiyong can use the words 'sudden rise', then at least it proves that this guy named Chu Ze is very abrupt and at the same time, he is also very important.

"What do you say about this Chu Ze. The student had originally checked his background, but found that his background seemed to have been deliberately altered. ”

"His family is nowhere to be found, and his previous experience is now unknown."

"The first time he really appeared, he appeared in the public's eyes as Lan Yu's son-in-law."

"His family and the Lanyu family have set up a baby kiss, and because of this relationship, Chu Ze is extremely favored by the prince."

"Wait."

When Hu Weiyong introduced Chu Ze to Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang's brows suddenly wrinkled.

He suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Hu Weiyong's words, and then looked at his student with some confusion.

asked a question that made Hu Weiyong slightly stunned.

"Did you just say that because of this, Chu Ze and the Lan Yu family have a baby kiss! So he is highly valued by the crown prince? ”

"Can you be sure of that? The other party is respected because he has a marriage contract with the Lanyu family. ”

"Tell me that it's because of other issues that the other party will be more valued? For example, talent, ability? ”

“.”

After Hu Weiyong heard Li Shanchang's inquiry, he was also a little confused for a while.

Oh, yes!

He had always thought that the reason why Chu Ze was so valued by the prince was entirely because he had such a relationship with the Lanyu family.

But

It seems that he has never asked for verification of this question!

After Hu Weiyong was asked by Li Shanchang, he suddenly felt that the cold hairs behind his back suddenly exploded.

"You don't seem to know much about this issue."

"And, judging from the attitude you just spoke, you seem to be very close to this Chu Ze..."

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong, whose face suddenly became extremely ugly, although he didn't hear what the other party said in person at this time, but at this time he already knew it.

And Hu Weiyong was thinking back to the before and after of his contact with Chu Ze at this time.

The more he thought about it, the more he discovered.

It seems that he has been led by Chu Ze all along!

Chu Ze had an official meeting with him for the first time, and this guy unceremoniously accepted his benefits, and the next few times, each time it was a lion who opened his mouth.

However, it was precisely because of this guy's insatiable virtue that Hu Weiyong easily relaxed his vigilance against Chu Ze.

But if you really think about it, the cooperation between him and Chu Ze that seems to be the closest, or has really achieved substantial gains, is only in the matter of trade with the Japanese state.

And Chu Ze seems to be still serving in the Ministry of Rites, and I heard that he also met with the envoys of the Wa Kingdom.

And the prince also specially arranged for people to send these envoys to leave Yingtianfu.

"Is the danger coming from Chu Ze?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Weiyong still felt a little puzzled after all.

Then, he quickly turned his head to look at his mentor.

"Teacher, it shouldn't be! Even if Chu Ze is really Lan Yu's son-in-law, he is particularly favored by the prince, but in order to have a good relationship with him, the student has given him benefits more than once! ”

"The house, the gold, silver, the jewelry, the woman. These things, as long as they are sent by the students, Chu Ze has never hesitated, and they are all accepted as ordered. ”

"And he's enjoyed it all!"

"If there is a problem with this Chu Ze, there is no reason for him to accept these things!"

"Even if he is the prince's confidant again, if His Majesty knows that he is corrupt and bribery, it will be a dead end."

What makes Hu Weiyong the most incomprehensible is Chu Ze's greed.

After all, Chu Ze is a guy who really doesn't refuse to come.

Even several times, Hu Weiyong didn't think about giving him any more benefits at all, but this guy could even take the initiative to ask him for it with a thick face.

This is completely a money-eyed goods.

What is the problem with such a person?

"If yes. His Majesty will not pursue him for embezzlement and bribery, or for receiving benefits from you? ”

“.”

Hu Weiyong couldn't figure it out, but after arriving at Li Shanchang, he just frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

Subsequently, a reason that made Hu Weiyong fall through his glasses popped out of Li Shanchang's mouth.

If so, His Majesty will not pursue Chu Ze's matter of receiving his own benefits.

If what Li Shanchang said is true, then all of Chu Ze's actions seem to be able to be explained.

He is not afraid of being held accountable, and even the fundamental reason why Chu Ze received the benefits sent by Hu Weiyong is.

All these things for him were arranged by His Majesty

If that's the case. Isn't that what you've been dancing with wolves all the time!

Hu Weiyong's face at this time could no longer be described as Tie Qing.

His otherwise well-maintained, ruddy face.

At this time, it was only a moment, and it turned white.

Chu Ze knows a lot of his secrets!

Especially.

Damn it.

"Teacher, the student suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with, and the student will retire first!"

"Go ahead."

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong, who looked extremely flustered, and he just shook his head.

After Hu Weiyong left, he showed a disdainful smile.

How could he not see Hu Weiyong's ambition.

And today's Hu Weiyong basically represents the entire Huaixi Xungui Group.

If Hu Weiyong falls, it is not good to say that the entire Huaixi Xungui group will be implicated to varying degrees.

And he, Li Shanchang, is naturally among the implicated teams.

However, even so, Li Shanchang did not have any worries in his heart.

Not because of anything else, just because he is Li Shanchang!

He is the founder of the Ming Dynasty!

And among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, he Li Shanchang is definitely one of the best.

You must know that there are as many as two death-free iron scrolls enshrined in his home alone.

is also a founding meritorious service, how many can have such treatment as Li Shanchang?

As for Hu Weiyong.

If he really falls, then he Li Shan will not be able to grow up and support one again.

As long as the existence of the Huaixi Xungui group can be stabilized.

Then everything is fine.

At this time, Hu Weiyong, who ran out of Li Shanchang's mansion in a hurry, didn't know that he was just a chess piece in Li Shanchang's eyes.

Of course, even if he knew this at this time, Hu Weiyong could only smile disdainfully.

The results of his business in the DPRK and China over the years are something that Li Shanchang would never have imagined.

But at this time, Hu Weiyong no longer had the heart to think about this.

What he really needs to consider is Chu Ze, a sinister and cunning guy.
