Chapter 36 Conviction of Hu Weiyong

Hu Weiyong was desperate and began to seek medical treatment in a hurry. He did not admit the ridiculous things he had done in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but instead turned around and bit the words of the person who was pointing to testify in front of him were false accusations. Hu Weiyong seemed a little crazy. When Chen Ning and Tu Jie appeared in the bedroom, his psychological defense was on the verge of collapse. The moment when the two of them pointed out, Hu Weiyong collapsed. He was no longer the prime minister who was once arrogant, but began to talk nonsense, and looked crazy.

"Your Majesty, I, Hu Weiyong, are innocent. The four people in front of me colluded with Ma Wen and the Fourth Highness to frame me, Hu Weiyong. How dare I be disloyal to the Ming Dynasty?" Hu Weiyong spoke. He didn't believe what he said in his heart, but he was anxious. He could not find a way to whitewash himself. He could only shirk his responsibilities and shirk everything to the person who proved himself.

Hu Weiyong was in a dilemma. He wanted to defend himself, but he did not have the perfect tongue like Zhuge Liang and had no chance to whitewash himself in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Prime Minister, just admit it. There are still private messages you have given us in our residences. The private messages are clearly written. We dare not fake the letters. It has been several days and years since the nearest. Although most of them have been dealt with, they still have some reservations. Prime Minister, we can't blame us for waiting. We are afraid that the Prime Minister will bite the other way, so that we can take some precautions." Chen Ning and Tu Jie looked at each other, discussed randomly, and after a while, Chen Ning spoke.

They could be betray the Ming Dynasty with Hu Weiyong, and they would naturally betray Hu Weiyong. They kept their letters, for fear that Hu Weiyong would abandon him after using them. Now that such evidence is presented, Hu Weiyong is completely stupid. The premiere of the Ming Dynasty was actually trapped under the letters between him and his subordinates. Hu Weiyong refused to believe everything in front of him. He roared, and his image in Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom was completely different from the previous majestic prime minister.

"Here, Eunuch Wang, take some officers and soldiers to their house to find the whereabouts of the letters. As for Hu Weiyong's mansion, search together. Don't search for the house first." Zhu Yuanzhang said, calling out his name and asking Eunuch Wang to send someone to Chen Ning Tujie's mansion. Another group of people went to Hu Weiyong's mansion. Their troops were divided into two groups, just to find evidence that Hu Weiyong betrayed the Ming Dynasty.

"Hu Weiyong, wait until the letter is searched, see if you have any sophistry methods." Ma Sanbao said. He stared at Hu Weiyong for a long time. His small eyes and smiling face made Hu Weiyong want to beat the child up. Without this child, he would not have been suspected so quickly to be related to the prison robbery incident.

Hu Weiyong's brain has been thinking about how to escape for himself, but he has always been cautious and cautious, never expected that his subordinates would leave any traces of clues, which would bring disaster to him. Even his precious son is not so worry-free, and he has not even eliminated his life without escaping from prison.

Hu Weiyong was upset that he trusted Chen Ning Tujie too much. If he had not chosen to send private messages or verbally tell the two of them, perhaps the evidence for them was not sufficient. At present, letters are the most direct evidence and the most likely crime to convict Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong was silent and combed his pale hair. He wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to let himself cry in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. His mental breakdown was extremely unbearable.

The waiting process was tense. Hu Weiyong, who had always been calm, sat on the ground regardless of the authenticity of the letters, regardless of the authenticity of the letters, and looked at the letters in front of him in shock. At present, letters were the most direct evidence, and Chen Ningtu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. If he could not find the letters, he would face them as the crime of deceiving the king.

"Wenhe, please open a letter and read it to me. I am very curious about what Hu Weiyong wrote in the letter." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. There were not many letters in front of him, but there were more than ten letters. He casually took out a letter and handed it to Ma Sanbao, rubbed his temples, and waited for Ma Sanbao to explain the content of the letter to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang's order made Ma Sanbao refuse. He opened the letter in his hand and opened it. This was a recent letter. It was written by Hu Weiyong to Chen Ning and Tu Jie after Zhu Yuanzhang demoted Hu Weiyong to Chen Ning and Tu Jie to make the two cautious. However, he did not expect that because of Wang Guangyang's appearance, Chen Ning and Tu Jie's two existences were also pulled out and placed on the table.

"Now we should be cautious and beware of the fourth prince Zhu Di's book boy. Ma Wenhe should not be underestimated. Pengju has already fallen into his hands. You will be eliminated in the future." Ma Sanbao was reciting the letter. When he saw Hu Weiyong writing in the letter that he was Zhu Di's book boy, he was not angry. He was not a book boy. In his opinion, even the follower was not worthy of his identity. However, without him, Zhu Di would not have earned such a large amount of silver. Where did the book boy make so much silver for his master?

The letter was very long, and it took Ma Sanbao some time to drag out the entire contents of the letter. The contents of the letters were out. Hu Weiyong sat foolishly on the ground. He did not refute, but lowered his head. The previous refutation of Shang Qing, Chen Ning and Tu Jie, the other two, were completely dispelled, and beat their chests and stamped their feet, like a juggler selling art on the street, which looked very funny.

"Hu Weiyong, what else should I argue? Even though you have to say that both people and physical evidence are there, you only have the last chance." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard the content of the letter, and then waited for Hu Weiyong's reason to defend his innocence with interest.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was disappointed. Hu Weiyong did not speak, but sat on the ground in a daze, with helplessness and annoyance on his face. He had no reason to argue. The appearance of Shangyang Chen Ning Tujie broke the last layer of defense in his heart. The appearance of letters was the last letter that crushed him. However, it did bring him the greatest proof of death. The appearance of these letters made the evidence of Hu Weiyong's treason and collusion with the rebel party.

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake, I should not have any unfair intentions. I am willing to apologize for my death and repay my blood debt for the Ming Dynasty!" Hu Weiyong suddenly spoke, stretched out his hand to take the sword guarding his waist to show his ambitions. However, he was subdued by the guard before he could do anything. Hu Weiyong was crying. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with unconsciousness, and he was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to judge him.

"Shangshu Wei, please help me tell the world. Prime Minister Hu is punished for treason today, ignoring national laws, sheltering and killing people, forcibly robbing women of the people, embezzling national wealth, and perverting the law for personal gain! Every item is enough to condemn your death penalty. Hu Weiyong, from today on, you will no longer be an official of my Ming Dynasty, and you will be sentenced to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and you will be executed! Implemented at the beginning of the year! We will be on the streets tomorrow! Let the people see how their prime minister is!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to Wei Ze, the Minister of Justice, and ordered the punishment of Hu Weiyong.

"I received the order!" Wei Ze bowed, looked up at Hu Weiyong, and shook his head. Once upon a time, Hu Weiyong sat in the position of prime minister and was full of energy. Now he is about to become a prisoner. His son had just been robbed from the prison. The one who replaced him was this important official of the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the prisons in Nanjing, the Ministry of Justice has a stricter prison management. Generally, the prisons are imprisoned by the court and treacherous officials of the court. This prison is more difficult to be robbed than the previous prisons. There are even the Ming army leaders who are very strict in their supervision. Zhu Yuanzhang also suffered from Hu Pengju's losses, but he dared not let Hu Weiyong escape.

"I, there is another thing to announce. From now on, Shang Hao, you will collude with Hu Weiyong as soon as possible. Given your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and being honest and honest, you will not hold too much responsibility. You will not be the chief minister of the censor from now on, but will be demoted to the Secretariat and the Minister of Personnel. Do you have any objections?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Shang Hao, sighed, pretending to be pity, "From now on, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have the position of prime minister, and the prime minister's responsibility will be fully handed over to the royal family!"

"My decree, receive the order." Shang Hao, the chief censor, had no choice but to have his official position as Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, and both were first-rank official positions. He was demoted by Zhu Yuanzhang. From then on, he would no longer have the position of prime minister and no more first-rank official positions. The biggest official position was the second-class Shangshu official position. Shang Hao would not complain. It was a fact that he had colluded with Hu Weiyong before, and he did not deny that although he retired early, he could only recognize his position if His Majesty wanted to strip him of his official position.

"At present, the war with the remnants of the Dayuan period is imminent. I don't want any mistakes in my court. Collusion between the party and forcing the people to rob the people's women is a taboo. The will of the people is the basis for the unfavorable future of our Ming Dynasty. What you do is to put my Ming Dynasty under the pressure of public opinion. I announce that Chen Ning and Tu Jie, stripped off their official positions, searched their homes and asked for death, and threw them into prison with Hu Weiyong!" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Chen Ning and Tu Jie, his eyes full of majesty. The two knelt on the ground and shivered. At present, the evidence they used to convict Hu Weiyong has become their crimes. They thought they could escape with their letters, but they did not expect that they would settle the accounts by Zhu Yuanzhang in the autumn.

Chen Ning and Tu Jie were panicked in their eyes. They glared at Hu Weiyong fiercely and sighed helplessly. If it weren't for Hu Weiyong, they wouldn't have ended up in such a field. They wished they could eat Hu Weiyong raw, and wouldn't let it go if they didn't dismember Hu Weiyong's five horses. They cursed Hu Weiyong countless times in their hearts. Hu Weiyong also saw their eyes. He chose to escape. He did not defend Chen Ning and Tu Jie. Now that things have come to this, his fate has been clear.

As for Wang Guangyang, he was a dying person, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not pursue it too much. The king's promise to protect his descendants and descendants that he had promised was definitely not a joke, but he was relieved.

"Wenhe, today, you have made achievements, I am very pleased..." Suddenly, Ma Sanbao's heart beat faster. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly mentioned his name after the trial, which scared Ma Sanbao's brain to move rapidly, thinking about whether he had done anything to sorry to Zhu Yuanzhang.
