Chapter 71 Right Prime Minister Hu Weiyong has arrived at the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace (Please read, vote for the monthly ticket, and recommend!)
But as soon as Hu Weiyong stepped out of the Secretariat, another figure also hurriedly stepped out of the Secretariat.

However, although Hu Weiyong was extremely smart, he could not understand Li Jin, the Zuosi Langzhong of the Secretariat, whom he regarded as his confidant.

He was the Jinyiwei solely under Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Mao Xiang could not mobilize Li Jin's power.

This was a nail that Zhu Yuanzhang had driven into the Secretariat, keeping an eye on Hu Weiyong and the officials in the Secretariat at all times.

Especially since the ministers are very angry today, Li Jin will report it truthfully.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial presented by Li Jin, and a gloomy look immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Dig out the eyes of those around you and don't let others lead you by the nose. It seems that we have underestimated our right prime minister."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of hiding his murderous intention towards Hu Weiyong.

Because the words in this memorial showed that Hu Weiyong had a thorough understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

How could the dignified Emperor Hongwu tolerate a minister who wanted to lead him by the nose?

He was also a minister who wanted to use his power as prime minister to fight against the imperial power, even at the cost of personal sacrifice.

If these people are not killed, Zhu Yuanzhang will probably not be able to sleep well!

"Li Jin, how many years have you been hiding in the Secretariat?"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, looked at Li Jin who was kneeling in front of him, and said softly.

"Reporting to your majesty, Li Jin entered the Secretariat in the fifth year of Hongwu, and it has been almost four years now."

Li Jin spoke without even thinking.

"It's been four years. In these four years, I haven't asked you to submit a memorial. Do you understand why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked again.

"I am stupid, please give me a clear explanation, Your Majesty."

Li Jin didn't dare to guess on his own.

"not enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang just closed the memorial in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have recorded everything Hu Weiyong has done in the Secretariat in recent years, word for word, and I am waiting for Your Majesty to review it."

Li Jin instantly understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and kowtowed again.

Over the years, Li Jinding has been in the Secretariat and has become Hu Weiyong's confidant, just to record everything Hu Weiyong did.

But Zhu Yuanzhang only asked about Hu Weiyong at the beginning, and never mentioned it again afterwards.

But since Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mention it, Li Jin had to do it, so he had been collecting information secretly over the past few years. Now the evidence is irrefutable, and even killing all nine generations of his clan would not be enough!

"Send them all to Kunning Palace. I want to read them myself."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes again.

"Your Majesty, I will go back and get it now."

Li Jin said this without hesitation.

Over the past few years, Li Jin had no idea how many volumes he had written regarding all of Hu Weiyong's memorials. All he knew was that in the secret room, all of the memorials added up were enough to form a small mountain.

"Just send it to Kunning Palace before tomorrow. I'll let the Royal Guards do it. You don't have to worry about it."

"As for you, you still need to keep an eye on Hu Weiyong. Don't alert him. Do you understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, then a cold light flashed in his eyes and he said, "Because I cannot touch Hu Weiyong at this moment, let him stay alive for a few more days."

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Jin still bowed his head and kowtowed.

The purpose of the Imperial Guards: just do the job, don’t ask why.

"Go."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand again, and Li Jin left Kunning Palace and returned to the Secretariat. As for whether Li Jin's coming to meet Zhu Yuanzhang would expose his identity, that was purely unnecessary worry. If Li Jin couldn't do this, he wouldn't be worthy of being called Jinyiwei.

At this time in the Prince's Eastern Palace, Deng Yu's eyes flashed with contemplation in response to Zhu Chong's earnestness.

Deng Yu has never forgotten the conversation in front of the imperial study today.

King Qin Zhu Chong had great ambitions in his heart. He wanted to expand the territory and build another country.

He even surpassed the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and became the Taizu Emperor, standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then marrying my daughter to Zhu Chong doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

after all
While thinking, Deng Yu looked up at Zhu Gang who was sitting next to Zhu Biao.

Deng Yu could choose not to trust Zhu Chong, but he had to trust Zhu Gang.

The ability of Prince of Jin Zhu Gang was definitely not inferior to that of Crown Prince Zhu Biao. If he said he could succeed, then it would be almost a foregone conclusion that Prince of Qin Zhu Cong would expand the territory.

Therefore, Deng Yu might not be unable to avoid taking a gamble, betting that King Qin Zhu Chong could really establish a country.

Moreover, even if he lost the bet, Deng Yu felt that he had not lost anything. After all, she was the concubine of the King of Qin, and her offspring would definitely be made king in the future.

Then if the Deng family encounters an unexpected event, the Deng family bloodline can be passed on.

There is also Deng Yu's daughter, Deng Zhiruo, who is completely in love with Zhu Chong and refuses to marry, waiting for Zhu Chong to marry her into the Prince of Qin's Palace.

Even though she was a concubine, Deng Zhiruo accepted her.

What's the point of talking about that? Instead of waiting for Deng Zhiruo to live out her life alone, it would be better to help Zhu Chong and Deng Zhiruo get together.

Deng Yu, who had figured it out, raised his head, looked at Zhu Chong and said softly:

"I hope that Your Highness Prince Qin can do what he says."

When Zhu Chong heard this, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and he quickly looked at Deng Yu and said:
"Uncle Deng, rest assured. I will definitely convince His Majesty."

Deng Yu then nodded with satisfaction.

Although he was not as talented as Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Prince of Jin Zhu Gang, he was still a talented young man in Yingtian Prefecture.

Besides, they were well matched, so even if she was just a concubine, Deng Yu would just consider it a bargain for Zhu Chong.

"Then let's settle this matter."

In response, Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao also stood up, looked at Deng Yu and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Uncle Deng."

"Congratulations." Deng Yu also bowed and smiled.

"Second brother, from now on, whether it's Sister Zhiruo or your wife, you must treat her equally and not be biased. Do you understand?"

Then, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Chong and said softly.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Gang also turned his gaze to Zhu Chong and said, "Even though you are my second brother, I still say the same thing, do you understand?"

Feeling the two sharp gazes in front of him, Zhu Chong's scalp felt a little numb.

But facing the sharpness in Zhu Gang's words, Zhu Gang couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Why do I feel like you are my second brother, but I am more like your younger brother."

But Zhu Chong naturally couldn't forget what he should keep in mind, so he quickly raised his head and said, "I understand, don't worry."

"Whether it's my wife, the Prince of Qin, or my sister Zhiruo, I will treat them equally. After all, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Zhu Chong's face again.

After all, Zhu Chong at this time was no longer as confused, cruel and tyrannical as he was in history, and it was even more impossible for him to favor his concubine and kill his wife.

But at this time, Li Heng, who was guarding the gate of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, hurried into the hall, bowed to Zhu Biao and said:
"Your Highness, the Right Prime Minister has arrived."

After Li Heng finished speaking, Zhu Biao gently waved his hand and said, "Please ask the Prime Minister to go to the study and serve tea."

"Yes, sir." Li Heng bowed.
