Father can be an enemy to the country

"What?!" Hu Weiyong immediately broke his guard. If the destruction of the two pirates only made him feel painful, hearing the bad news that the Biwa Navy had also been captured was like breaking a leg...

"What does Wu Zhen do for a living? He has been running his old lair for so many years, and then he's just said to be ruining it?!"

"This time, it was a calculation that was not intentional. Marquis Jinghai was caught off guard." Shang Hao said with a bitter face: "He did not expect that King Yan would dare to go to Chongming Island to hold a Hongmen Banquet with only a few hundred personal guards. , seize his military power."

"Who gave King Yan the will, the prince or the emperor?" Hu Weiyong asked in a dark voice.

"No, he has no intention to seize military power at all. If he had, the Ministry of Education would definitely refute it." Peng Geng sighed:

"In fact, the prince only ordered King Yan to go to Chongming to work for the army. It happened to happen that the Battle of Flower and Bird Island happened, and the troops preparing for the Japanese navy were unsettled, so His Highness took action urgently, killing first and reporting later."

"Fart!" Hu Weiyong scolded: "It's obvious that their brothers colluded. The sixth brother is in the front and the main attacker, the fourth brother is in the back stealing the house, the third brother is assisting him, and there is a backer behind them... "

"Yes. We think so too." Peng and Shang both nodded, and the latter said: "Especially when Enxiang entered the palace on the front foot, and the fourth child left the capital on the back foot. Even if he said there was nothing fishy, ​​even a fool would believe it."

"Then why didn't you two fools report such a big thing earlier?!" Although Hu Weiyong's voice was calm, every wrinkle on his face was filled with rage.

"We wanted to report it early in the morning, but the Crown Prince's personal guards took over the security of the National History Museum. They said that the revision of history is a big matter and time is tight. No one is allowed to disturb it." The two said helplessly:

"We tried sending messages, sending letters, encircling people, sending people to infiltrate... we tried many methods, but we couldn't contact Eun-sang at all."

"Damn it! You thought it was a good intention to ask me to write history, but it turned out that you were looking for an excuse to get involved so that they could take the opportunity to cause trouble!" Hu Weiyong gritted his teeth, knowing that he had been plotted by the seemingly loyal prince, and his eyes were red with anger.

Although he was outside and could not change the outcome of the pirates' failure, at least the Japanese navy would not be lost. If the Japanese navy is not lost, Suzhou will not be lost; if Suzhou is not lost, Jiangnan will not be lost...

It's better now. Once the Japanese navy is lost, Suzhou will be completely lost. Once Suzhou is lost, it will be even more difficult to control Jiangnan. Li Shanchang lost half of the inheritance left to him. The consequences are too serious!

After the severe situation forced him to vent, he had to calm down and think about countermeasures.

It's tricky, it's really too tricky. If it were an ordinary general, even a distinguished general, he would have plenty of ways to save the situation. For example, if you accuse the opponent of killing prisoners or taking credit, basically no amount of credit can be eliminated. Then, through review, he would gradually eat away at the other party's advantages and bring the situation back under his control.

But this time the opponent is a prince, and there are several princes. The emperor must be crazy with joy. Who dares to speak ill of his son at this time? Even if you eat a meal, the imperial staff will be light. If you fail, you will be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded in public.

While Hu Weiyong was thinking with a sad face, he saw a eunuch from Wuying Palace coming to greet him.

"Prime Minister Hu, your Majesty invites you."

"Okay. Father-in-law, take a step first, and the truth will be over soon." Hu Weiyong nodded, and the eunuch bowed knowingly and walked away.

"Hey, let's stop the loss first." Then he instructed the two of them: "Tell Lin Xian, don't act rashly at this time. Suzhou is lost, and Ningbo must not be lost again, otherwise Jiangnan will no longer belong to us."

"Understood." The two of them hurriedly responded.

They know that Jiangnan is not only Prime Minister Hu's financial source, but also his talent pool. If it is lost, it will have to rely on the military to walk... The road will become increasingly difficult and narrow.

"In addition, we must find a way to do something to divert their attention." Hu Weiyong also ordered: "The Ming Dynasty is so big, we can't let them always stare at Jiangnan, we should also move their eyes elsewhere, so that we can do something better Things, save the situation.”

"Yes, let's find a way right now." The two of them responded again.

"I'm going to accept the emperor's ridicule first." Hu Weiyong smiled self-deprecatingly: "How eager is the superior to show off his son."

"Enxiang, I have been wronged." Peng Geng and Shang Hao looked close to each other, and looked more like Hu Weiyong's sons than Hu Tianci.

Wuying Palace.

"Hahaha!" As soon as he saw Hu Weiyong's unlucky look, Boss Zhu burst into hearty laughter: "Xiao Hu, you have figured it out. You are going to get moldy this month in the history museum, right?"

"The emperor still understands the ministers." Hu Weiyong smiled bitterly and saluted: "This month has been very hard for me, and I have to pretend to enjoy it. It's really a shame."

"That's right. Let's talk about the prince. Prime Minister Hu is busy with everything, how can he be allowed to compile history?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "There is no way, the prince has been hanging out with Confucian scholars for a long time, and he takes "History of the Yuan Dynasty" too seriously."

"His Royal Highness, you are right. Compiling the history of the previous dynasty and finalizing the coffin are indeed important affairs of the country." Hu Weiyong said seriously: "I am deeply honored to be able to participate in this. It's just that I don't have the ability to manage history, and I have to live up to the prince's trust. Ashamed, ashamed.”

"Hey, what you said is only half right. Compiling the history of the Yuan Dynasty and concluding the coffin is of course a major event." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "But whether you have the ability to govern history is not important. The history of the Yuan Dynasty Isn’t it very glorious? Why not make it a little messy? It’s better if no one sees it.”

"The emperor means that "History of the Yuan Dynasty" must be available, but only as long as it is available." Hu Weiyong suddenly understood.

"That's right, having such a thing there proves that the Yuan Dynasty has ended and the orthodoxy has returned to the Ming Dynasty. It's enough. We just wish it was like stinking dog shit and no one would look at it." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Otherwise, Among those surrendered ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, some are famous historians, such as Wei Su and others. But we will not let them participate. "

"Then Wei Su survived in vain?" Hu Weiyong joked, and the emperor and his ministers couldn't help laughing loudly together, and the laughter was full of ridicule for the surrender of the Yuan Dynasty.

Wei Su, as mentioned by the emperor and his ministers, was an important minister of the Yuan Dynasty and a famous historian. When Xu Da invaded Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty, he felt that his country was ruined and his family was ruined, so he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into a well and martyrdom for his country. But the people around him persuaded him, "Don't know the history of the country if it is not public. If you die in public, you will die of the history of the country." He gave up the idea of ​​jumping into the well and decided to surrender in order to compile the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" and survive by "bearing the humiliation and burden".

After his surrender, Zhu Yuanzhang once reused him because of the need for united warfare. However, as the Ming Dynasty stabilized, some censors said that he was a minister who had subjugated the country and was not suitable to be included as an attendant, let alone to compile history books.

So Zhu Yuanzhang relegated him to Hezhou, and ordered him to guard the temple of Yuque, a famous official who died in the late Yuan Dynasty, to humiliate him. In the end, Wei Su lived in Hezhou for two years and died in depression.

"There shouldn't be any dynasty that is stupid enough to let the remnants of the previous dynasty compile history, right?" Hu Weiyong laughed again.

"It shouldn't be possible!" Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed and said: "How can you be so stupid that you can dominate the country?"

The monarch and his ministers laughed again, and the air was filled with joy.

Therefore, it is not without reason that Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Hu Weiyong as prime minister. Xiao Hu can provide strong emotional value and make Boss Zhu happy at work. Unlike Lao Li, Lao Wang, and Lao Liu, they always like to cause trouble for the emperor.
