Jinling City.

In Zhongshu Province, Hu Weiyong seemed a little uneasy, and a feeling of uneasiness made him very impatient. It's no wonder that there were too many things that happened in these days, and they were too unsatisfactory.

First, his son died. In a rage, he killed the coachman. What he didn't expect was that the emperor actually asked him to pay for his life. Fortunately, the master was allowed to accompany his life as a slave. This kind of thing has never happened since ancient times.

, the emperor scolded him for a few days, and then gave up. He didn't take it to heart. He felt sad for a few days, and then he felt relieved.

But something happened recently that made him really uneasy.

This incident is not a big deal, but on September 25th, the king of Champa "Adaa Zhe" sent an envoy "Yangxu Wendan" to the table to bring elephants, horses and square objects to the fortress of Nanjing.

When he met with the emperor, he thought that this was just a matter of the Ministry of Rites and paid no attention to it. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Rites did not report the matter to the emperor. Instead, the eunuchs in the palace found out about it and went back to report it to the emperor.

The emperor immediately received the envoy Yangxu Wendan. Afterwards, he sighed: "This is the extent of the harm caused by obstruction!"

The next day, in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he told Wang Guangyang, "I live in China and care for the four barbarians. If there are those from foreign countries who sincerely come to pay tribute, I will treat them with courtesy. Now that I have captured the city and brought tribute, I have arrived."

, You should inform the envoys at the right time, and pay tribute to the envoys, but you can ignore it and know that you are the prime minister, assisting the emperor, taking orders from the emperor, and being gentle to the barbarians. Is this what you should do?"

Of course he was unhappy after being scolded innocently. Due to the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, he still asked his confidant Chen Ning to write a memorial to defend himself. In addition, he heard that the Minister of Rites and the Prime Minister Wang Guangyang had already gone to court.

Liao Zhezi apologized, so he didn't take it too seriously. He thought the emperor would just let it go.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was unwilling to give up and actually sent the Jin Yiwei to find out who was behind this incident. He naturally knew who Jin Yiwei was, and he could find three faults even if nothing happened. The emperor asked the Jin Yiwei to investigate and deal with it, which is enough to explain.

The emperor no longer trusts the ministers of the court. Fortunately, in his opinion, this matter is a matter of the Ministry of Rites.

Even if the emperor wanted to investigate, it was to investigate the guilt of the Ministry of Rites, but the result of the emperor's treatment surprised him. The emperor arrested Wang Guangyang first. Not long after, he received the emperor's rebuke of Wang Guangyang's cronies for bullying the emperor, and demoted Wang Guangyang to Hainan. When the ship sailed to peace,

, Zhu Yuanzhang investigated his case in Jiangxi

The news that he protected Zhu Wenzheng, did not expose Yang Xian's conspiracy and other crimes in Zhongshu Province, and issued an edict to poison him to death. He actually killed the dignified Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the captured king "Adaa". This made him feel incredible and also

It made him feel a little uneasy. He became increasingly aware that the emperor was going to take action against him.

But he was not afraid. Just a few days ago, he had received a hint from Li Shanchang that he had the Li family's iron scroll to avoid death. Even if the emperor had murderous intentions against him, he would not be afraid at all, not to mention that all the civil and military officials of the dynasty belonged to him.

Even Li Shanchang left a message: the emperor could neither kill him nor control him, so why should he, Hu Weiyong, be afraid?

Jinshen Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a rolling dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair. He did not inform Hu Weiyong of today's court meeting, but informed the civil and military officials of the court. He did this to let the people standing in the hall understand who is this

The person in the court who can speak the most true words is their true king.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a gloomy face, and his sharp eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces. No one dared to look at him, only he looked down at the civil and military officials in front of him.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the oppressive atmosphere made everyone feel breathless.

The censor Zhongcheng Tujie, who was standing at the top of the list of civil servants, was trembling with fear, lowering his head and not daring to look up. Two days ago, the emperor sent a royal guard to invite him into the palace and told him to be prepared to expose Hu Weiyong. At that time, he wanted to refuse, but when

Zhu

Yuan Zhang's two murderous eyes somehow made him lose the courage to continue to fight, and he only agreed. Early this morning, a royal guard went to his house and told him that the emperor asked him to expose the matter at today's court meeting.

After learning the news, he had no choice but to agree. At the moment, he was thinking about how to expose Hu Weiyong's crimes later. To be honest, he didn't want to offend Hu Weiyong. Others didn't know what Hu Weiyong did.

Hu Weiyong's confidants knew everything clearly, but the more this happened, the less he dared to say more. It was not that he was loyal to Hu Weiyong, but actually

He had a strong hand in these beheadings. To expose Hu Weiyong was to expose himself. He still wanted to live a few more years, how could he not be able to live with himself? Therefore, he could only expose those that he was not involved in.

Among the many activities, he had no involvement in the poisoning of Liu Bowen, so this was his best excuse to expose it.

Standing behind him was the former imperial censor Zhongcheng Shang Peng. He was also secretly thinking at this time. He had already received instructions to expose Hu Weiyong in court this morning. He had been waiting for this opportunity for many years. Hu Weiyong and Chen Ning controlled the government and were domineering on weekdays.

He didn't take anyone seriously. If he hadn't been worried about their too much power, he would have been punished long ago. Finally, God had an eye on it, and Hu Weiyong actually angered the emperor. How could he miss such a good opportunity.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly withdrew his gaze and said to the ministers in a cold tone: "My dear friends, do you have anything to report to me this morning?" As soon as he finished speaking, two murderous eyes fell on Tu Jie.

.

Tu Jie's body trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Report to the Emperor, I have some secrets that I want to report!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said "Oh" in a long tone and said: "Tu Aiqing is not too polite, just play it!"

Tu Jie gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Master Hu, you can't blame Xiaguan. Who made you so domineering and offended His Majesty? I just did this to save my life!" He muttered a few times silently in his heart, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Wei Chen

to expose,

When Hu Weiyong, the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, was serving as the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, he was arrogant and domineering. He decided on the life and death of officials without authorization. He read the memorials of various departments at home and abroad first, and often hid those who were not good for him without reporting them. Every place likes to work hard and is enthusiastic

Advance in officialdom

The disciples and the meritorious warriors who had neglected their duties fought to break away from their gates, and presented them with gold, silk, famous horses, and countless playthings." Tu Jie's voice was not loud, but since it was early morning, all the officials were afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's domineering power, and no one dared

Talking, empty body and mind

The palace seemed extremely quiet. Secondly, many officials already knew the purpose of today's morning court, so they remained silent and listened attentively. Therefore, everyone heard Tu Jie's words clearly. At this point, the ministers began to murmur.
