Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

That night, Zhu Yuanzhang's royal desk was presented with an explanation of the conflict between Yan Changqing and Hu Wen'an, the son of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong during the day.

At the same time, Yan Changqing used it as money at a small trade fair. Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Shoulu, Tianma, Crane glazed bottles with a total value of 300,000 taels, and nine nine-color glazed beads were also placed in Zhu Yuanzhang's palace. On top of the royal case.

These treasures and colored glazes were all retrieved from the Great Shang Jia behind the small exchange in the afternoon after the Jinyiwei commander Mao Xiang learned what happened.

Well, literally, you get it back directly without spending any money.

After all, three hundred thousand taels, even Jin Yiwei couldn't show it openly.

If Jin Yiwei could easily get three hundred thousand taels, then Zhu Yuanzhang would have suspected whether Jin Yiwei was secretly using power for personal gain and accepting bribes behind his back.

However, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, power was much more useful than money!

He just sent a Jin Yiwei Baihu over to say something on behalf of him, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, that these glazed treasures were related to the princes.

The Great Shang Jia behind the small trade fair respectfully handed over all the glass bottles and glass beads that Yan Changqing had used as silver.

Then, Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, submitted it to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial case together with the memorial explaining today's conflict.

"Dragon, phoenix, unicorn, crane, longevity deer, Tianma, these glazed bottles, and these nine nine-color glazed beads, even the royal family does not have them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang weighed these glazed treasures on the imperial case, his tone seemed to be admiration and ridicule.

"Have you found out where these glazed treasures in his hand come from?!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the glass bottle in his hand, and his eyes fell on Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei in front of him.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen checked the records on the transactions of colored glaze treasures in the past three years, but could not find any records corresponding to these colored glaze treasures."

"At the same time, we also found that as early as eight months ago, Yan Changqing had begun to use colored glaze to pawn gold and silver, or directly use it as gold and silver."

"As for the glass treasures he pawned and used as gold and silver, I have also not found any relevant historical records."

"In addition, his parents died young and left him no wealth."

"At the same time, he has been living near Yingtian Mansion and has not had any interactions with other courtiers or merchants."

"So, I suspect...he probably mastered the method of refining glass treasures eight or nine months ago!"

Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his guess.

After all, if he hadn't mastered the method of refining glazed treasures, where would he have come from so many glazed treasures? ! !

There were even so many that even the guards who were just ordered to protect him this afternoon were given a bunch of glass beads!

The trench air is not like this!

If he didn't master the method of refining colored glaze, with his method, even if he had more colored glaze treasures, he wouldn't be able to withstand his reckless spending.

So the only unbelievable but reasonable answer is that Yan Changqing has mastered how to refine colored glaze treasures!

"How to refine glass treasures?!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in a low voice, recalling Yan Changqing's calm and unruffled expression in his mind again.

Know the "Dragon Slaying Technique"!

Once again, I saw through at a glance the serious disadvantages caused by the royal family salary two or three hundred years later!

Nowadays, it is very possible to know how to refine colored glaze treasures!

At this moment, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Yan Changqing, who originally seemed clear and clear, was gradually covered by layers of secrets, and the whole person became more and more hazy and mysterious.

"The Top Grade Ambergris he bought for 300,000 taels, he just gave it to Lao Er and the others without any request. He just said it was a thank you gift?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the records in the memorial, looked at Mao Xiang and asked for further confirmation.

"Yes, and he also gave thirty-four single-color glazed beads to the guards who were responsible for protecting him at that time. He also asked the guards to convey them as a thank-you gift from him to those guards."

Mao Xiang nodded and answered with absolute confirmation.

"Strange, strange."

“If you don’t really need and like that piece of Top Grade Ambergris, why would you spend 300,000 taels to buy it?!”

“You’re even willing to conflict with the son of the current prime minister over this?!!”

"After I bought it, I changed hands and gave it to others."

"What's the purpose?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly discovered that once Yan Changqing was involved, there were many things he couldn't figure out.

If someone else did this, he would think that someone else was taking the opportunity to please the prince.

But if Yan Changqing did this, then there might be other reasons, but these reasons definitely do not include pleasing the prince.

Because when Yan Changqing secretly listened in before, let alone please the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and other princes in person.

Even for him, the emperor, Yan Changqing did not necessarily show much respect in words.

Mao Xiang on the side hung his head and said nothing. He really didn't know the answer to this question and couldn't give a guess.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang could only put this question aside for the time being.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on the last part of the memorial submitted by Mao Xiang, which read:

[Afterwards, Chen Captou took the initiative to report to Jinyiwei. At that time, he heard that Hu Wen'an, the son of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, said angrily, "Damn it! If dad can go further, why should I suffer this humiliation?" 】

If Hu Weiyong, the Prime Minister of the Left, who is already the leader of hundreds of officials, takes another step, what will it be? ! !

"snort!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, looked at Mao Xiang and said coldly:

"Watch that head catcher, don't let him die, I'll still have use for him later!"

"In addition, keep Hu Weiyong under surveillance for me, and report every move to me immediately!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to reach the limit of his patience with Hu Weiyong.

But now is not the time, he needs to continue to be patient.

The words Hu Wen'an is currently muttering to himself can only implicate the nine clans of Hu Weiyong.

But what he wanted to kill was not only Hu Weiyong and a group of people related to Hu Weiyong, but also the position of prime minister that Hu Weiyong himself held! ! !

There must be a more convincing crime, more conclusive evidence.

Only in this way can Hu Weiyong and related people be killed with minimal influence and consequences, and at the same time, the position of Prime Minister, which threatens the imperial power, be abolished!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mao Xiang agreed immediately, with a look of uncontrollable excitement on his face.

Prime Minister!

If Prime Minister Zuo, who is the leader of hundreds of officials, can be brought down, who will dare to underestimate Jin Yiwei in the future!

"Go down."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked Mao Xiang to retreat.
