After the dispersal of the court, the ministers left the Forbidden City.

As soon as they came out of the noon gate, many officials couldn't hold back their joy and thanked Hu Weiyong one after another: "This time, thanks to Hu Xiang, he stepped forward and turned the tide!" ”

"Yes, thanks to the presence of Hu Xiang, we can set things right and let the light of the righteous path shine on the earth."

"Hu Xiang, you are the reborn parents of us, please accept the bows of the lower officials!" An official in a blue robe knelt down in front of him and kowtowed heavily.

"Lang Zhongqiu Xian of the Provincial Criminal Department of the Humble Job, thank Hu Xiang!"

"Hurry up, what's this for?" After a big war, Hu Weiyong was quite useful for staging such a drama.

Zeng Tai behind him was surprised and asked the official, "Your family has also been planted with spies?" His Royal Highness King Yan...... Oh no, didn't the fourth prince even let go of the fifth-rank officials? ”

"That's not true, the rank of the lower official is not enough, and the black hand of the four princes has not yet been the turn of the lower official." Naqiu Xian shook his head, and said with a flattering smile: "But as a member of the officialdom, the lower officials should share the same hatred with Hu Xiang and the adults!" ”

"Haha, it's good to have this heart. When the situation is in crisis, this kind of official who is willing to stand together through thick and thin is needed, Hu Weiyong nodded approvingly, and said to Peng Geng on the side: "Write down this name, and give priority to promotion when you go back." ”

"Yes." Peng Geng nodded, and glanced at Zeng Tai defiantly, meaninging, 'Continue to lift the bar, isn't there no bar in the world that you can't lift?' ’

"Hu Xiangfang just said that now is 'the time of crisis', and the lower officials thought that this was wrong, "Who knows that there is no need for him to provoke the general, Zeng Tai has entered the automatic bar lifting mode."

"In the past few years, the whole country has been in good weather, the official warehouses are abundant, the people have surplus food, live and work in peace and contentment, and there are few riots in the north and south of the river. In other dynasties, they should boast of 'prosperous times' and 'governing the world', why did Hu Xiang turn a blind eye to these and think that the situation was dangerous? ”

"Even if there is no people, but the officials are not happy, there will be a big mess!" Imperial Historian Chen Ning said with a straight face: "You look through the history books to see, except for the years when Empress Wu was in power, is there a court like us where everyone is in danger?" Even those brutal and unkind Hu regimes also know that they treat doctors preferentially! ”

"I'll go, it's so easy for the emperor to expel the Tartars and restore my China, Chen Xiantai actually misses Mengyuan, Jinliao, Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms?" Zeng Kong's backhand is a bar, which made Chen Ning's eyes appear to be golden.

"You don't button your hat indiscriminately, this official doesn't mean that!" Chen Ning hurriedly defended: "I'm just talking about it from the perspective of the difficulty of officialdom. ”

"Zeng Zuocheng should raise the bar less. If you really think it doesn't matter, when you are unlucky, no one will help you. Peng Geng sneered and scolded his rival.

"It's just that I can't figure out where I stand." The officials also condemned him: "This kind of person is also worthy of being the prime minister?!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's get busy." Seeing that Zeng Tai was attacked by a group, Hu Weiyong smiled with satisfaction: "Zeng Xiang is such a person, everyone should get used to it." ”

Saying that, with Peng Geng's support, he got into his little donkey cart.

"Congratulations to Hu Xiang." All the officials gave salutes together.

Hu Weiyong waved his hand at everyone with a smile, and when the curtain was lowered, he sighed tiredly.

~~

Slightly swaying carriage.

"Congratulations to Eun Xiang for showing his power and winning a great victory!" Peng Geng, who was returning to the yaya with him, grinned while massaging his paralyzed left leg.

"A big win?" Hu Weiyong looked at him with an idiot look and said, "Do you really think so?" ”

"yes." Peng Geng asked rhetorically with a little weakness: "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not, we're losing a lot, okay? The emperor is really ruthless. The seven marquis were deprived of military power in this way, and most of the governor's mansions were empty all at once! But because of the disposition of King Yan first, we can't say anything yet. Hu Weiyong sighed depressedly:

"The emperor's hand is called 'reluctant children can't trap wolves', he used a child as old as the fourth child to trap a full seven wolves, and the emperor made a lot of money, okay?"

"It's definitely a loss for those noble generals, but for our civil officials, it not only achieves the goal, but also weakens the strength of the military attaché, isn't it a double happiness?" Peng Geng blinked and asked puzzled.

"......" Hu Weiyong almost didn't let him suffocate to death, and only spit out a sentence after a while. Summer insects can't talk about ice. ”

I have the heart to ignore him, but this stupid right hand is the only one left, and it is not okay not to teach him to understand...... No way, who told Hu to not keep his smart left hand at the beginning?

"Yes, for the vast majority of civilian officials, the more the military generals are suppressed, the better. But the prime minister is the teacher of all officials, the common leader of civil and military generals, how can he be so narrow-minded? Hu Weiyong could only educate him in a deep voice: "You want to unite them, remember?" ”

"Yes, humble, remember." Peng Geng nodded hurriedly, and asked puzzledly: "But we don't rebel, it's okay......

This is also a question that has plagued him for a long time, I don't know why Prime Minister Hu Cheng got involved with those noble generals? There's no benefit at all, and you have to wipe your ass all day long for these troublemakers.

For example, this time, Hu Weiyong just asked the nobles to find out the spies in the family like civil officials, and just ask for confessions and drive them out of the house. Who knew that these guys were actually ferocious, not to mention beating people to death, and sending them to the gate of Yanwang's mansion to demonstrate. It's just nothing to look for.

If they don't make extraneous branches, the emperor won't find an excuse to take away their military power, okay?

"Not a bad fart." Hu Weiyong didn't have a good breath:

"We are not rebelling, but we must have enough strength at hand. In this way, we can speak to the emperor from the position of strength, and the emperor will listen carefully to what we say, understand? ”

"Understood." Peng Geng nodded, and I don't know if I really understand.

"Later, you call Zhao Butang of the Criminal Department, I have to instruct him-Ji'anhou and them, they still have to be protected." Hu Weiyong sighed and said: "It's really heartbreaking......

"Yes." Peng Geng hurriedly wrote it down, and said with a sad face: "Speaking of the Criminal Department...... Next month, the autumn queen will begin. Eun Xiang, do you really don't care about the son? Why don't we try harder? ”

"How? The case of that son of law is the Qin case, and it has been completed as an iron case, and the Ming canon is a nail in the coffin, who can turn it over? Hu Weiyong said gloomily: "The old man should have never given birth to this son." ”

"Actually, there are still some ways that can't be put on the table......" Peng Geng whispered tentatively.

"I know too, but as the prime minister, the old man can't do this." Hu Weiyong shook his head and sighed: "Otherwise, how can the king law exist?" What kind of face does the old man have to command hundreds of officials? ”

"Alas, yes, it's not easy to be en-chanced...... Peng Geng's eyes were red with emotion, and he no longer instigated the leader to commit crimes.
