Chapter 3: Kill them all

When Mao Xiang arrived at the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished the morning court, and was resting in the middle of the palace.

As we all know, Lao Zhu is a model workaholic, and in the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, only the deceased emperor Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen can compare with him in terms of diligence.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was resting and eating, the great eunuch Xu Shou walked in.

"Your Majesty, Lord Mao Xiang of the Pro-Military Governor's Mansion asks to see you."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart moved, and he knew that it should be the strange person who suddenly appeared in the palace last night to interrogate him.

So he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

"Yes."

Xu Shou responded and retreated.

After a short time, Mao Xiang walked in quickly, knelt down and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

"No need to be polite, get up." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

In fact, according to the rules he set, the courtiers don't have to kowtow all the time when they see the emperor, but they can't stop these subordinates from kneeling and kowtowing at every turn to show their loyalty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mao Xiang stood up after speaking respectfully.

"Did that kid come out with something last night?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mao Xiang replied respectfully, but did not continue.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly surprised, understood in his heart, and waved his hand: "Let's all step down." ”

After saying this, the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting next to them saluted and retreated.

Mao Xiang continued: "Your Majesty, after Weichen took that person out of prison, before he was executed, the man confessed, but he kept claiming that he was from the world more than 600 years later, at first Weichen only thought it was ridiculous, but later, he mentioned Hu Weiyong's matter. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Oh? What did he say? ”

"He said that he saw from the history books that Hu Weiyong plotted to rebel, and His Majesty punished him and ......"

Speaking of this, Mao Xiang swallowed his spit, it was a matter of his life, so he couldn't help but be nervous.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him lightly.

Mao Xiang didn't dare to hide it, and said bluntly: "And Your Majesty took advantage of this matter to abolish the prime minister system in one fell swoop, and there has been no prime minister in the world since then!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed, and he was surprised, he didn't move Hu Weiyong for a long time, there were indeed some smart people in the court who had doubts, but they couldn't guess his intentions, his true purpose was only known to him, he didn't tell anyone, and I believe that no one could guess him.

After all, the abolition of the prime minister sounds unbelievable.

But now, this strange man who suddenly appeared broke his mind with a word, which had to shock him.

Of course, he will not believe any nonsense from more than 600 years later, only if this person is smart and has a relationship with the DPRK and China, and guessed his mind through clues, but he doesn't know what the purpose of this person is to appear at this critical time.

"What else did he say?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

When Wei Chen heard this, he made him shut up, and then immediately reported to His Majesty. Mao Xiang bowed his head and said.

"Who else knows about this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Except for Weichen, the remaining clerk and three soldiers who know about it are all locked in prison by Weichen, and Weichen has ordered someone to guard the door, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Well, you're doing a great job." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and it seemed that he would not be silenced for the time being.

"What happened to the two guards who were on duty last night?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Those two insisted that they had not seen anyone come or go, and the minister felt that they had followed His Majesty for many years and were loyal, and should be credible!" Mao Xiang said.

Those two guards also belong to the pro-military governor's mansion, and they are both their own brothers, so one can be guaranteed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and pondered.

He has been laying out for several years, and now the general trend has become a trend, don't look at Hu Weiyong who is now in power, in fact, a small half of the henchmen around him are the eyeliners of Zhu Yuanzhang's faction in the past, and more than half are the wall grass that tends to be inflammatory, and the remaining few big fools are not to worry about at all.

As long as the charge of rebellion is firmly deducted from him, the prime minister system can be abolished in one fell swoop. I believe that no one will be willing to risk being detained for rebellion against him, even if there are a few, it doesn't matter if they are killed.

But if the news of the abolition of the prime minister is revealed in advance, these civil officials are likely to rebel together, and then the grass on the wall around Hu Weiyong is likely to become hardcore allies in an instant!

Although even so, Zhu Yuanzhang was sure to suppress them, but there would be more people who would die by then, and there would inevitably be huge turmoil in the court, which was not in line with his plan.

Now that someone has guessed his plan, he can only close the net as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The time is almost up, it's time for Hu Weiyong to close the net." And you take those two guards, send that person back to us, and ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused and continued: "Kill the rest of the insiders." ”

Mao Xiang was stunned in his heart, although he felt sorry for his subordinates, he didn't dare to intercede for them, it would be good to be able to keep himself.

"Wechen obeys."

"Well, it's not appropriate to make a noise about this matter, go ahead and do it."

"Wechen understands, Wechen retires."

Mao Xiang walked backwards out of the hall before turning around and leaving quickly.

In the evening, Li Wei was quietly sent back to the palace.

returned to the Qianqing Palace again, compared to yesterday, there was one less backpack on his body and more shackles.

This thing is made of pig iron, dead and heavy, unlike modern times, it is made of various alloy materials, stainless steel or something, strong and lightweight.

It's a great sin to wear it.

Now there are only two people left in the main hall, Li Wei and Zhu Yuanzhang, and the others have been cleared.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on his dragon chair, fiddling with the mobile phone that Mao Xiang had just handed him, which was searched from Li Wei and sent it over with Li Wei.

"You say you're from the future?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, for example, the thing in your hand is called a mobile phone, which is the creation of our future world."

Li Wei doesn't speak as dick as he did yesterday now, although he still doesn't know how to be polite, but his attitude is always more respectful, and he will answer all questions.

"What is this thing used for?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The main function of this phone is to make calls, huh...... It's the ability to talk to people from far away. Li Wei said.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the small board called a mobile phone in his hand in surprise, and he didn't know what material it was made of: "Is it really so magical?" Let's take a look. ”

"Ah......h

Li Wei didn't know how to explain it for a while, what is a signal, what is a communication service provider, and what is a signal tower.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he was a lie and was exposed. With a cold snort, he put the phone down.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the things in my backpack are all products of the future, and I can show you them one by one."

Li Wei hurriedly said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite curious about what those strange things were for, so he beckoned outside, found the little eunuch last night, and asked him to take the backpack and put it in front of Li Wei, and then the little eunuch retreated again.

"Show it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with great interest, wanting to see how this kid would make up.

The backpack was lost and recovered, Li Wei was overjoyed, opened the backpack zipper, and first took out the water cup.

"Your Majesty, this is a water cup, for water, and it is full of drinking water, I will drink it to you."

As he spoke, Li Wei unscrewed the lid and drank most of the glass of water in one go.

He was really thirsty, from yesterday to now, he had not eaten a drop of water for nearly 24 hours, and now he was thirsty, hungry and sleepy.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, watching him continue to perform.

After drinking the water, Li Wei took out another pack of instant noodles, don't ask why you don't buy the barreled one, the question is to focus on a large amount of full, definitely not to save one or two dollars!

"Your Majesty, this is instant noodles, it's something to eat, just take boiling water and soak it for a while. Your Majesty, can you give me a pair of chopsticks and hot water? ”

Li Wei pleaded with hope on his face. If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't give it, then he can only perform and eat.

Zhu Yuanzhang also saw through this kid's intentions at this moment, eating and drinking.

But he didn't care, it didn't matter, just reply honestly, cut off the head and give the severed head food.

"Someone."

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's greeting, the little eunuch ran again and brought a pair of chopsticks and a pot of hot water.

Li Wei couldn't wait to tear open the bag, put the dough cake, put the material bag, add water, and the bag was torn open and covered with chopsticks pressed up.

"That's it?" Zhu Yuanzhang calmly finished reading Li Wei's operation.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you can eat it in a while." Li Wei replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and secretly said that this thing is indeed very convenient, if it is used as military food when marching and fighting, it is not bad.

"Let's look at the other stuff first."

"Okay."

Li Wei put the instant noodles beside him, took out the contents of the backpack one by one, and introduced:

"It's an umbrella."

Saying that, as soon as Li Wei pressed the switch button, the automatic umbrella popped open all of a sudden, Li Wei carried the umbrella on his shoulder and turned around, and then pressed the umbrella and snapped it away, but it took one more step, and the telescopic lever had to be retracted manually.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite surprised, this kid who claimed to be from the future brought things that were quite exquisite and strange.

Putting the umbrella away, Li Wei then took something out of his backpack.

"This is a charger, it is for charging the phone."

"It's a multimeter, well, it can measure voltage, resistance, current or something, and it's very useful."

"This is a screwdriver, Daming doesn't have screws yet."

There are also some cables, notepads, gel pens, label paper, and even a button indicator.

Li Wei does everything in the company, and occasionally has to go out to the site to do maintenance and debugging, and some tools are left in his backpack.

In addition to these miscellaneous little things, of course, there are the most important laptops.

"This is a computer, and it is very useful, and a lot of work in our time is inseparable from this thing."

Li Wei took out the largest thing in his bag and introduced.
