"Hu Xiang, Hu Xiang......" The voice of a eunuch called Hu Weiyong back to his senses.

"Oh. What did Grandpa Ji command? Hu Weiyong came back to his senses and found that the court meeting had ended. It turns out that Wang Guangyang is right, the Chaohui can really touch fish.

"Your Highness, please stay for a while." Father-in-law Ji said softly.

"Okay." Hu Weiyong was calm, and after all the ministers retreated, he arched his hand and asked, "Your Highness, what are the instructions for the old ministers?" ”

"Hu Xiang's face is not very good-looking." The crown prince stood up from the throne and asked gently, "Are you too tired?" ”

"I'm ashamed," Hu Weiyong smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, it's because the old minister will take a nap at noon, so that he can have energy in the afternoon." As a result, at noon today, I played a game of chess with Wang Xiang, delaying the afternoon nap, which is really a plaything. ”

"Hey, you can't say that, a piece of relaxation is also a way of civil and martial arts." The prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hu Xiang is in charge of Kyushu for my father and son, and you have to worry about everything in the world, it's too hard." ”

Saying that, he smiled at Hu Weiyong and said, "How is it?" How about arranging a different errand for you, how about a change of brain? ”

"That's a good dare." Hu Weiyong smiled, but a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes. "I don't know what His Highness wants to let the minister do?"

"It's a good thing." The prince smiled: "Isn't this Master Song, they have rebuilt the Yuan History, and it has come to an end?" However, in view of the haste in the revision of the history last time and the poor quality of the finished book, my father ordered us to be cautious. Therefore, the palace wants to ask Hu Xiang to go to the National History Museum to review it, this time we must ensure the quality, otherwise the "Yuan History" repaired by the national dynasty will become a joke. ”

"That's right." Hu Weiyong was flattered. You must know that revising the history of the former dynasty is by no means just a historical issue, let alone a literary issue, but also a very sensitive political issue.

Therefore, it is customary for all dynasties to revise history as prime ministers, so as to better grasp the overall situation.

Moreover, it is a great honor for the literati to lead the conclusion of the coffin of the previous dynasty. So in this dynasty, in the second year of Hongwu, Boss Zhu wanted to revise history, and Li Shanchang waited excitedly for the title of president of "Yuan History" and fell on his head.

But waited and waited, but waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's edict appointing Song Lian and Wang Yi as the presidents of "Yuan History". This can make Li Shanchang wronged, and he can't help but go to Boss Zhu and say, I can also repair "Yuan History".

Boss Zhu replied that Mr. Li is busy with government affairs and is not good at literature, so he should not get involved in the matter of revising history.

Lao Li's face was red, and he never mentioned this stubble again.

Moreover, Li Shanchang was the first person in the previous dynasty, but he Hu Weiyong didn't even pass the exam. Therefore, even if Hu Xiang is powerful, he never thought of going to the National History Museum.

But whether to say it or not, the more this person can't get it, the more commotion there will be. Especially even Li Shanchang didn't get the opportunity to revise the "History of the Yuan", although he was only reviewing, he would definitely be able to put a name on it, which would be better than the old boss.

"Then the old minister is respectful, it is better to obey his fate." Hu Xiang agreed without any suspense.

"Okay, then pack up your things and enter the museum tomorrow." The prince smiled and nodded, and ordered: "Over there in Zhongshu Province, you arrange the errand yourself, and the palace will not worry about it." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister will explain it." Hu Weiyong said respectfully.

~~

On the day Hu Xiang entered the museum, His Royal Highness King Yan, as the prince's envoy, boarded a ship at the Jiangdongmen Wharf and went to Chongming Island to inspect the Beiwei Sailor......

At this time, Chongming Island has not yet formed a large island like in later generations, but is composed of dozens of large and small sandbanks.

But its importance is much higher than that of later generations. The Song and Yuan dynasties set up Tianci salt farms here, which are second only to Changlu salt farms in scale. Because it is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River and is an important shipping node, the Yuan Dynasty has Chongming Prefecture here, which belongs to Yangzhou Road.

In the second year of Hongwu, Chongming changed the state to a county, and later changed to Suzhou Prefecture. And equipped the general military officer Yamen in Xisha, and the huge fleet of prepared Japanese troops was also stationed here. It is because the island is densely populated and the market is prosperous, and Zhu Yuanzhang also specially inscribed the inscription of 'Yingzhou on the sea' to Chongming.

And Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai, is the undisputed king of Chongming. Over the years, he has already managed this place like an iron bucket. Here, he is always calm and calm, because there is no one or thing that can challenge him.

But today, the face of this 'Chongming King', which resembles a brother, can hardly hide his shock and uneasiness.

His nephew Wu Gao and son Wu Zhong, who were summoned by him to discuss the matter, saw his abnormality, and the former asked strangely, "Uncle, what happened?" ”

"I just received an urgent report that King Yan is coming to inspect, and I will be there early tomorrow morning." Wu Zhen handed a small piece of paper to his nephew to circulate.

The two of them saw it but couldn't understand his mood, but were a little excited, they had been studying with the kings in the main hall for so many years, and they had been low and small, no different from the little scholars. It is naturally excellent to have the opportunity to let His Highness see how majestic he is now.

"It's nothing, is it? It's just a normal inspection. Wu Zhongman didn't care.

"Yes, uncle." Wu Gao echoed.

"Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence that he's here?" Wu Zhen took back the piece of paper, pulled out the lampshade, and burned it with the flame. "Over there, the king of Chu went to sea with his front foot, and he came to Chongming with his back foot, is there any connection here? The devil believes it. ”

"Don't you say it, King Yan only brought his own guards, and there are no extra troops. Coincidentally, what can 500 people do? Wu Gao didn't believe it.

"yes, Dad. You don't know that the third and fourth children have always been in a situation of fire and water, and the third and sixth children are mixed together, so the fourth child has not been involved in these things, and it should have nothing to do with him. Wu Zhong didn't believe it either.

Wu Zhen looked at the face of his nephew, which still retained the innocence that had not been polluted by knowledge. He sighed helplessly and said, "You have always heard, 'Brothers are on the wall, and they are in charge of their affairs', right? ”

"What does Uncle think he's here for?" Wu Gao asked.

"Keep an eye on us, don't let us act rashly." Wu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"We wouldn't move, he loved to stare at it." Wu Zhongman smiled indifferently.

"It's just, at most, what's the big deal?" Wu Gao also smiled.

"Alas, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other...... Wu Zhen sighed and said: "Just the day before King Yan set off, Hu Xiang was imprisoned in the National History Museum by the crown prince in the name of Xiuyuan History. I can't reach him from outside now......"

"Coincidentally, what does it have to do with Hu Xiang?" The two looked puzzled.

"It's a big relationship...... Wu Zhen smiled bitterly, he had such a big cognitive bias with his nephew, and he couldn't just blame the child for not being knowledgeable. The main reason is that he didn't tell the two of them about the eldest brother's plan.

If these two boys knew that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would be buried in the belly of the fish, they would not be so indifferent.

Wu Zhen hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't tell them. The fewer people who know about the things of the Nine Clans, the better. If you don't tell them, you love them.

"In short, when the time comes, the two of you will accompany you throughout the whole process, and if His Royal Highness King Yan has any changes, you can report it at any time."

"Yes, uncle."

"Yes, Dad." The two responded.
