Chapter 45 Hu Weiyong uses retreat to advance and kills Lin Che After half an hour.
Zhongshu Zuo's Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with courtiers and nobles.
"Hu Xiang, why did you ask the emperor to pardon the traitor Lin Che in the court?"
"You know, he is the culprit behind Your Majesty's seizure of fertile land this time. All the fertile land I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to purchase was in ruins."
"We are still thinking about the day when the Queen of Autumn asked for her death, I took firecrackers to the Meridian Gate to set them off to celebrate!"
"Alas! Hu Xiang, aren't you doing this to support the evildoers?"
Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing was the first to come forward and complain before everyone could sit down.
"Yes, Hu Xiang! If this kid dies, he will die to save us from taking action. Why did you do this?"
"Hu Xiang, if you do this, it will hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy!"
"Hu Xiang, because of this boy, us old guys from Huaixi have suffered heavy losses, and Yongjiahou and the others are still in prison! What is your purpose for doing this?"
"... "
a time.
These Huaixi nobles all glared and complained about Hu Weiyong.
Seeing everyone criticizing him verbally.
Sitting in the middle, Hu Weiyong leisurely picked up a cup of tea on the table.
Open the tea lid, gently scrape the tea leaves floating on the surface, and take a sip.
Then he looked at everyone with a tea cup in hand and said slowly: "Have you all finished speaking? Continue until you have finished speaking. I will wait until you have finished speaking."
This statement came out.
The nobles present immediately shut their mouths.
Everyone looked at Hu Weiyong with big eyes and small eyes.
When all the sounds in the living room stopped, Hu Weiyong said:
"Everyone, do you really think that the emperor wants to kill the boy in the prison?"
"Yes! I dare to ask Mr. Hu if he heard that any of the prisoners on death row who were imprisoned in the imperial edict can come out alive? What's more, the day when the Queen of Autumn is about to be executed, this kid is dead!"
Xingyang Hou Zheng Yuchun stood up and said.
"Master Zheng is right. I have never seen a death row prisoner come out of the prison alive. This guy is a weak scholar who was imprisoned in the prison and faced with torture. Even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid he will be crippled!"
When Jining waited for a visit, he followed Zheng Yuchun's words and added.
"You are wrong!"
"This kid is in prison. Not only does he not suffer any punishment, but he is also fed and fed by the second prince every day."
"Think about it, can you get this kind of treatment in the imperial prison? Can you do it without the emperor's acquiescence?"
Hu Weiyong took a sip of tea, looked around and said: "According to the news from the prison, the emperor and the prince have been going back and forth to the prison every day in the past few days to listen to this boy giving lectures to the second prince."
"In addition to providing advice to the emperor to rectify the land annexation, this boy also proposed in the court today the prince's proposal to expand trade routes, lift the maritime ban, and improve the status of merchants. These are all the things this boy tinkered with in prison."
"The Emperor values this boy so much, do you still think that His Majesty wants to kill this boy?"
"Not only will the emperor not kill this kid, but he is more likely to reuse him."
"Instead of having another formidable opponent like Liu Bowen or Yang Xian appear in the court in the future, it is better for us to take a preemptive strike and send him to remote places like Yunnan, Guizhou and Lingnan."
"The land south of Yungui and Lingnan is Yongjiahou's territory. With Yongjiahou's character of retribution, even if he can't get out, his men will not make it easy for that kid."
"We can't do anything to this boy under the Emperor's eyes, so we'll send him far away and deal with him slowly!"
"My lords, you are wrong to accuse Wei Yong!"
After Hu Weiyong finished speaking, all the distinguished officials immediately understood that this was a way to advance by retreating, and they all raised their thumbs in admiration.
"Hu Xiang is still thinking long-term, but you are short-sighted and wrongly blame Hu Xiang!"
"Hu Xiang, we are all rough people. Please don't blame us for any offense."
"Hu Xiang, what a strategy to retreat in order to advance, our brothers are convinced!"
"... "
Hu Weiyong waved his hands indifferently:
"Everyone here is our own people, so it's no surprise. But no matter what happens in the future, you guys must think in one place and work hard in one place."
"Like today in the court hall, when the emperor proposed the strategy of conquering Liaodong, everyone mistakenly blamed me, Lao Hu."
"The atmosphere was chaotic at the time, and we just wanted to control the situation, so you targeted me. Do you really think I was speaking for the East Zhejiang Party?"
"We are helping you brothers. We are afraid that you will cause too much trouble and cause the emperor to blame you..."
After saying these words, the nobles were both critical and flattering... After talking about business, it was almost noon.
soon.
A banquet was held in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the nobles drank happily. It was very lively.
……
at the same time.
Wei Guogong's Mansion, Xu Da's residence.
Xu Miaoyun, a female student, checked her account with the accounting clerk in the mansion, walked out of the warehouse, and suddenly smelled a scent.
Following this scent, Xu Miaoyun came to the side hall of the Duke's Mansion.
I saw my father Xu Da sitting in the side hall, pouring himself a drink.
Xu Miaoyun quickly walked in.
"Dad, why did you drink again?"
"How many times has the imperial doctor told you not to drink alcohol for the arrow wound on your back? Why don't you follow the doctor's advice?"
heard.
Xu Da's movement of raising the glass stopped, and when he saw his daughter's bright eyes staring at the wine glass in his hand, his head suddenly became bigger than his head.
Ugh! Our old Xu is in trouble!
In the court, he is under the control of the emperor, and when he returns home, he is under the control of his daughter.
It's better to be in the military camp, free and responsible for yourself.
Seeing his daughter coming forward and trying to take away the wine glass, Xu Da repeatedly begged for mercy:
"Oh - my dear daughter, the imperial doctor said that we should not drink alcohol, but he did not say that we should not drink at all!"
"Good girl, please let your father go! Your father has even given up his favorite roast goose. Life is already boring enough, but now he can't even take a sip of wine. So what's the point of your father's life?"
"Besides, let's just drink a little each time!"
Xu Da gestured with his hand and raised his hand to pour wine into his mouth.
I see.
Xu Miaoyun's silhouette flashed, she rushed to her father, reached out and grabbed the wine glass.
"That's almost it. No more drinking!"
Xu Miaoyun raised her eyebrows and said with a stern face: "Dad, the army is about to go on the Northern Expedition. What if the old injury relapses at this time?"
"Dad, if you don't care about your own body, you should also care about your children, right? Huizu, Zengshou and Miaoyu are still young. If you have a problem, how will we, my siblings, live?"
As he spoke, he glanced at his father with a sad look on his face: "Dad, if you have any troubles, just tell me. Why do you need to drink alone?"
The voice did not fall.
Xu Miaoyun stepped forward and took away the wine pot and wine glasses, leaving only two plates of side dishes to go with the wine.
"... "
The corners of Xu Da's mouth twitched, completely hopeless.
Xu Miaoyun put away the wine pot and glass, turned around and brewed a cup of tea.
Then, he stood behind his father and rubbed his shoulders lovingly.
While kneading, he asked:
"Dad, did something happen in the court?"
"No, nothing happened. It's not about the Northern Expedition..."
Xu Da sighed:
"Girl, what do you mean by His Majesty?"
"Obviously, there was a tribe of Nairbuhua who was harassing me in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. Instead of attacking, you asked your father to lead the army to the barbaric land of Liaodong to clean up the Jurchen clan hiding in the wild forests of Liaodong."
"I don't know what your Majesty thinks?"
"Could it be that the Jurchens, whose total number of women, children, old and young, only number in the tens of thousands, can really threaten our Ming Dynasty?"
"His Majesty also ordered us to exterminate the Jurchen clan without leaving a single person alive, regardless of age or age!"
"Your father has been fighting for so many years and has indeed killed many people, but he has never killed women, children or children."
"Alas! His Majesty's decree puts us in a difficult position!"
