On the right gate of Chang'an.

Listening to the sound of talking from below, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "Boss, did you see it?" Obviously colluded early in the morning, and a special scene was staged in front of the palace gate, indicating that everyone was not colluding. It's really both a bitch and a torii! ”

Zhu Biao was speechless for a while, and there was no one who had a serious confrontation between the monarchs and ministers of this dynasty. The scene of monarchs and ministers getting along with each other, at least in the Hongwu Dynasty, is not seen.

But this is also no way, the premise of the monarch and the minister is that the monarch and the minister are of the same heart - now the minister wants to live a 'good life' like the Yuan Dynasty that is unrestrained and lawless, and at the worst of all, he must treat the scholars and doctors like the Song Dynasty, but the father and the emperor must resolutely avoid the situation of political corruption and the loss of control of the court in the Yuan Dynasty. As for the Song Dynasty, go to the children's table, there is no place for you to speak here......

The two sides are completely opposites, okay? It's strange if you don't hit the dog's brain.

They are all victors in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and no one wants to compromise on everything, so as my father said, I can only act separately. Either the ministers divided the emperor's head, or the emperor divided the head of a hundred officials. There is no third possibility.

Can you replace a group of people, isn't it the same? Be honest for a while, and repeat the old path of your predecessor?

Can the father's path of 'not sharing the world with the scholars, but with the people' really work?

The prince looked at the city of Nanjing in the mist, trying to see a way forward, but he couldn't see the province clearly......

But the biggest difference between him and other princes is that he always knows whose son he is and what his mission is, so he will never do the kind of stupid thing that makes 'relatives hurt and enemies happy'.

At this time, the majestic bell rang at the noon gate, and the palace doors slowly opened. The hundred officials also stopped talking and began to train according to the civil and military lines.

"Let's go, it's time to go to court." Zhu Yuanzhang greeted the prince and walked down the city gate.

'Well, let's take it one step at a time. The prince sighed, put the annoying feeling of powerlessness behind him, and hurried after him to support his father.

~~

In front of the right gate of Chang'an.

When the civil and military ranks of the hundred officials were completed and they were about to enter the palace, Hu Weiyong and others found that Cao Guogong and Song Guogong, the two dukes in Beijing, were tired of work.

"What's going on?" Hu Weiyong frowned slightly and looked at Wu Liang, Fei Ju and others.

"I don't know......" They didn't expect Cao Guogong, but yesterday Song Guogong clearly promised that they would advance and retreat together today.

Tu Jie looked at the supervising Yushi who was in charge of attendance, and the Yushi hurriedly came over to report and said: "I just received a false report that Song Guogong suddenly had abdominal pain last night and still can't get out of bed. ”

"Old slippery head!" Fei Ju snorted, knowing that this Mao was about to retreat.

"Song Guogong is also difficult," Hu Weiyong said lightly: "He is the father-in-law of King Zhou, a relative of the emperor, so don't embarrass him." ”

"Let's go, don't delay the court." The crowd was still going to gossip, but he was on crutches and took the first step.

The officials had no choice but to keep up.

~~

In front of the Mukden Gate.

Emperor Hongwu ascended the golden platform, sat upright on the dragon chair, and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials.

After saluting like a ceremony, Eunuch Wu sang: "If there is something to do, play it early, and if there is nothing to do......

The emperor and hundreds of officials looked at Prime Minister Hu Weiyong on the left.

The difference is that there is an implicit warning in the gaze of the former; The latter is full of anticipation.

At that moment, Hu Weiyong was at war with heaven and man in his heart.

He knew that if he took this step, there would be no turning back.

But he didn't have a choice, so he could only disappoint the emperor......

Exhaling a long breath of turbidity, Hu Weiyong stepped forward with a cane, and his voice trembled slightly: "Minister Hu Weiyong has a foundation!" ”

"Say." The Emperor's voice could not hide his disappointment.

"Your Majesty, there is a list of people who have leaked out of nowhere in Beijing today...... Hu Weiyong still recounted the evil deeds of King Yan who installed and monitored hundreds of officials under the emperor's cannibalistic gaze.

"The ministers didn't believe it at first, how could His Royal Highness King Yan do such crazy evil deeds? But according to the list, the hundred officials really found the spies at home and got their confessions.

When they put the confession in front of the minister, the minister was shocked! It's really a whole lot of history, and I don't see such absurd deeds! How could King Yan do such a move that divides the monarch and ministers and makes hundreds of officials chill? ! ”

As he spoke, he clasped his hands into fists, looked up at the emperor who was high above, and said in a trilled voice peculiar to stroke patients:

"Your Majesty, the ministers were in a very low mood yesterday, and many people wept incessantly, saying that they were full of loyalty to the emperor and devoted themselves to the country, but the emperor's son installed a fine work in their homes and monitored their every move."

"Hmph......" Many officials sobbed in cooperation, adding a bit of justice and people's hearts to Hu Xiang's speech.

"Where is there still a bit of minister's decency? It shows that they are not trusted by the emperor at all! For a while, they all said that since the emperor was suspicious of Ruosi, what kind of face did they have to stand up in the court and serve the monarch's father? So I want to resign from the table, and ask the emperor to ask for another master......"

"Woo woo, the emperor ......" The ministers cried even more, and many of them couldn't cry, hiding their faces with the sleeves of their official robes and weeping.

I don't know, I thought Emperor Hongwu was in the sky.

Emperor Hongwu is really about to be angry. The crown prince on the side could hear it, his father's teeth were clucking, and he hurriedly scolded:

"Hu Xiang, what is the truth of the matter, it has not been investigated clearly, don't be in a hurry to cry and grab the ground!"

"Prince, I misunderstood the minister, and the minister persuaded them like this." Hu Weiyong arched his hand towards the prince and said:

"I told them that the emperor has been adhering to the tenet of 'employing people without suspicion and suspecting people without suspicion' for many years. If you use them, you must trust them. If you really doubt them, just remove them. ”

"Yes, yes." The ministers hurriedly nodded, indicating that Hu Xiang was right, and echoed:

"It's all King Yan's misdeeds, and it's all a ghost behind the emperor's back."

"For his own selfish interests, he divides our monarchs and ministers!"

"This is just the beginning, he dared to spy on the ministers behind the emperor's back, and also bombarded the Ji'an Hou Mansion, he didn't dare to think about what he could do in the future!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, these two crimes are extremely heinous, and if you change ordinary courtiers, the nine clans are not enough to copy! Although King Yan is a prince, the prince has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, please be severely punished by Your Majesty! As he spoke, the ministers knelt on the ground, raised the bullet badge in their hands, and said in unison:

"The ministers wept blood and knelt down to ask the emperor to severely punish King Yan, and to correct the law of the country and set an example!"

Hu Weiyong also knelt on the ground, looked at the emperor and said loudly: "Please put the emperor first and don't chill people's hearts!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and watched the wonderful performances of the ministers with an expressionless face. Whispered to the prince on the side:

"Now I believe this is a split operation, right?"

"......" The prince was silent for a long time, and Fang nodded heavily.
