Just a few days later, some legends spread in Jinling City, saying that Liu Bowen was killed by the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

The news came out that some people did not believe that the Prime Minister and the Governor General were so bold that they poisoned the imperial officials, but the news was spread by those who were interested and had a slight utterance, which made people disbelieve.

It was said that Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the dynasty, held a grudge. When Liu Bowen said a few bad words to him, he aroused Hu Weiyong's hatred. He framed Liu Bowen for false charges and forced Liu Bowen to return to the city of Jinling.

But Hu Weiyong felt that this was not enough and kept harming him. So a few days ago, Liu Bowen was infected with cold and was ill at home. He was found out by the emperor. The emperor cared about Liu Bowen's achievements in the past, so he asked Hu Weiyong to take the imperial physician to visit him.

The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription. He grabbed the medicine and came back to decoct it as soon as possible. He felt that some uneven stones squeezed together in his stomach, which made him very painful.

In mid-February, Liu Ji met Zhu Yuanzhang while sick, and reported to him politely that Hu Weiyong brought the imperial doctor to visit him and even more uncomfortable after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang just said some comforting words to ask him to be relieved and recuperate, which made Liu Ji feel very disappointed. In late March, Liu Bowen, who was unable to move freely, was accompanied by Liu Lian, and escorted by Zhu Yuanzhang's special personnel, set off from the capital and returned home. After returning home, he refused all the medicines and stones found by his relatives and the village, and just maintained a normal diet as much as possible.

A few days later, the condition became worse and worse. Liu Bowen learned about the heavens and man, knowing that there was not much future, so he found his two sons to explain the funeral. After explaining the funeral, he asked Liu Lian to bring an astronomical book from the study and said to him: "After I die, you must present this book to the emperor immediately without delay. From now on, don't let the descendants of our Liu family learn this knowledge, and let the descendants leave many good advice for governing the country for the Zhu family. The news was sent to the capital, and the emperor kept crying. Even civil and military officials also cried bitterly. Later, the emperor sent someone to find Liu Bowen's eldest son Liu Lian to ask about the situation when Liu Bowen's death. Liu Lian told him everything in detail. The emperor felt that he had doubts, so he asked the imperial doctor to examine Liu Bowen's body, and only then did he realize that Liu Bowen did not die of illness, but died of unknown medicine.

Although the emperor knew that this was Hu Weiyong's actions, he wanted to punish him for his crimes, but there was no evidence, so he had to give up.

After hearing this news, the people of Jinling City cursed Hu Weiyong and scolded Hu Weiyong for being Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty and Jia Sidao, and asked the emperor to punish him for his crimes.

The yelling was just a few bold yelling at first, but somehow, more and more people were scolding, and many people were tangled together and shouting outside Hu Weiyong's house every day, which made Hu Weiyong very embarrassed.

"Is there someone cursing outside the door again?" In the study room, Hu Weiyong frowned and asked outside the door.

"Yes, lord!" The housekeeper Youqi bowed and said.

Hu Weiyong frowned and didn't say anything. He sat on the chair of the Grand Master, looking a little restless. He looked at the memorials on the desk. These were memorials that impeached him. He did not expect that he had visited Liu Bowen and had such an effect. It was beyond his expectations. Moreover, during these days, he found that there were many Jinyiwei wandering outside his mansion. He was not stupid and knew what was going on. But he was not worried at all. Now he was already the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. With only one person and ten thousand people, most of the court were his people. Only Li Shanchang did not express his opinion, but he believed that Li Shanchang would definitely use it for him. Now he can be said to have a response. Even if the emperor wants to touch him, it is not so easy.

After reading the memorial, he didn't care about Liu Bowen's death at all. He knew how Liu Bowen died. Everyone could see that he had a grudge against Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen was sick and no one allowed him to go there. He only asked himself to visit him. This was a signal in itself, and he didn't understand how he didn't understand. Therefore, he took action against Liu Bowen. He did this just to follow the emperor's wishes.

It’s not that Hu Weiyong wants Liu Bowen to die, it’s the emperor wants him to die!

But he had a lot of calculations, but he was still a trick away. The emperor wanted Liu Bowen's life. Otherwise, Liu Bowen would have come to the palace to tell the emperor that he had given medicine to him, and the emperor never asked him any more. This point is enough to see what the emperor was thinking. Liu Bowen is extremely smart and must have seen the emperor's thoughts, otherwise he would never have returned to Qingtian alone regardless of the government orders.

He calculated everything clearly, but he didn't expect that the emperor would use Liu Bowen's death to criticize him. He had to take the blame even if he didn't take it. This move was also the most powerful move! He caught him off guard and could not do anything.

A little angry glanced at the memorial, and then looked directly at the last memorial. This memorial was actually a memorial issued by the emperor, which was beyond his expectations. After just a glance, he was furious. It turned out that in the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the local administrative divisions and changed the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Beiping, Guangxi, Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Henan, Shaanxi, Huguang and Shanxi to Chengxuan Government and the Ministry of Education, and at the same time abolished the provinces and divided their responsibilities into three: the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education, were appointed as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Education, respectively. They were restrained and controlled by each other.

Mutual supervision, no unity, and directly commanded by him. In this way, his Secretariat would be in vain. The Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan system and all memorials were advanced to the Secretariat. Generally, the major affairs of the court were handled by the Secretariat first. After giving opinions, they were sent to the six ministries of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and work, as well as relevant functional departments such as the Grand Governor's Office and the Censorate. In this way, all memorials could not be given to the emperor, but were determined by his prime minister. What the emperor could see, what the emperor could not see, what the emperor could benefit himself, what the remarks were most unhealthy, and everything was controlled by the prime minister. This was also the right that the prime minister could be less than one person and more than ten thousand people.

The emperor suddenly wanted to abolish the Secretariat and set up the Three-Secret Administrator. The purpose was very obvious. He had weakened the power of the prime minister. He finally climbed to this position. After years of layout, he had a situation of response today. Most of the civil and military officials in the court were his people. How could he give up such a situation? He suddenly saw this memorial and how he was not surprised or angry.
