Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

In Yecheng.

Liu Xie heard General Zhang Fei still arguing with the emperor's uncle about whether he was the emperor's uncle's "commoner brother".

And taking another look, among those people in Yecheng who were familiar to him, Xin Pi looked quite curious and was pointing at the light curtain with his daughter. Geng Ji and others were also whispering and talking to each other. Jia Xu looked the most relaxed, as if he was smiling and talking to Cai Bojie's daughter.

Perhaps for them, seeing such an abnormal thing now, some of their previous speculations about the emperor's uncle would probably be completely overturned.

He shook his head in his heart. To be honest, Liu Xie didn't have much feeling for this Emperor Hongwu.

Now he has seen too many heroes and villains, and has been in the hands of Dong, Li and Cao successively. He has suffered too much anger. He has clearly realized again and again that he is not a saintly king.

So Liu Xie knew that the two sides were completely different people just by listening to the emperor's uncle's general description of the deeds of this Emperor Hongwu.

Even though he was the emperor in name, if he really had the ambition and wisdom of Emperor Hongwu, why would the world become like this?

In Chang'an, he united Zhong Lao, joined forces with Lu Bu, and killed Dong Zhuo with his sword, swept Guanzhong, jumped Qingcong, established six armies, and destroyed Guo and Li with his might.

He left Tongguan, rebuked Cao thieves, called the world, chased the Central Plains and defeated Cao, entered Hebei, and the four generations of Chen, Yun Sangong, and Yanyun finally returned to their hearts.

Then he rode six horses to tour the world, entrusted his uncle to appoint Zhuge to invite Jia Xu, and returned to the Taimiao to report to the ancestors and save the world.

Not to mention, Liu Xie thought this trend was not bad, but unfortunately he was not Emperor Hongwu after all.

He had neither the courage to look Dong Zhuo in the face nor the courage to scold Cao Cao angrily. It was not until the danger of Yecheng that he let go under the persuasion of the queen. In the end, facing Cao Cao, who had been toothless, he could not stab him to death alone and needed Fu Shou to work together.

Compared with Emperor Hongwu, he is not a novice emperor, but what's the use of that? Can he resist a million troops or what?

However... Turning his head, he looked at Liu Bei who was arguing with Zhang Fei about what commoner brothers were, Guan Yu and Zhuge who were watching the fun, and the light curtain floating in the air.

Liu Xie suddenly felt relieved:

Who said that being an emperor requires such a tiring transformation? I have an uncle who has been manifested by the destiny!

Even though it is still unknown what the future holds, but:

He and Fu Shou do not have to tremble in the shadow of Cao Cao, which is a relief.

With the uncle in the Han Dynasty and watching the rebellion being quelled, they will not be ashamed of the late emperor.

That's enough!

So Liu Xie simply changed to a more comfortable posture, watching the affairs of Emperor Hongwu in the light curtain, while listening to the chat between the uncle and his old friends.

Apart from other things, he should be able to share some of the worries for the emperor's uncle about the rewards for these loyal ministers and generals of the Han Dynasty.

[Speaking of Hu Weiyong, many people will inevitably feel a little unfamiliar.

After all, when it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang's team of success, from Chang Shiwan who was rampant in the world, to Xu Da who was on the Great Wall of the Great Wall, to Li Shanchang who was always at his side, and Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Feng Sheng, etc. who were also granted the title of Duke, even if we talk about it more broadly, there are also Tang He, Guo Xing, and Liu Bowen who was said to be mysterious and godly, etc.

In comparison, Hu Weiyong can really be said to be unknown, which is also confusing.

In fact, Hu Weiyong can be regarded as one of Zhu Yuanzhang's old team.

In the 15th year of Zhizheng, Zhu conquered Hexian County, and his reputation spread to Dingyuan County not far from Hexian County. Hu Weiyong, who was a minor official in the Yuan Dynasty, made up his mind and rolled up his bedding to join Zhu Yuanzhang. I want to rebel!

For Hu Weiyong at that time, this decision might be a highlight in his life, worthy of boasting to his grandson in his old age.

But in fact, no one cared at that time. One reason was that the corruption at the grassroots level of the Yuan Dynasty was normal, and the other was that there were many rebels everywhere.

Moreover, Hu Weiyong, who defected, soon faced another problem: the golden window period for entrepreneurship had closed!

We have said before that the turning point of the fate of the Yuan Dynasty was in 1354. In this year, Tuotuo was deprived of power, millions of troops were displaced, some fled and some rebelled, and the coffin of the Yuan Dynasty was almost nailed down.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this year was also a turning point in his fate, because the rebels were in a state of disunity, so Zhu simply took 24 of his confidants to Dingyuan in the south. As a result, Li Shanchang, a think tank, defected on the way and continued to expand the team. In the end, he successfully conquered Chuzhou and made a great reputation.

After conquering Chuzhou, Li Shanchang's talent was verified, and the power that had already reached a certain scale was in urgent need of proper management, so Zhu directly appointed Li Shanchang to be responsible for screening the various talents who came to surrender. Under such circumstances, Hu Weiyong's resume was handed to Li Shanchang, and he was eventually sent to be a messenger in the Marshal's Office, which was generally speaking a messenger.

Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang were from the same hometown, but they surrendered only one year apart. One became Rome and the other became a mule and horse, and in the following days, the gap became larger and larger.

In the following ten years, Hu Weiyong worked hard and successively served as a envoy, chief clerk, county magistrate, Tongpan, and Huguang Ancha Qianshi.

This promotion speed is certainly not slow, but compared with other people in the entrepreneurial team, it is somewhat not good enough, because fellow villager Li Shanchang has been the right prime minister, which is basically equivalent to the prime minister.

When Zhang Shicheng was destroyed the following year, Zhu's dragon spirit was obviously too strong, and in this case Hu Weiyong finally began to get a little anxious.

Adhering to the principle that a living person should not be killed by thirst, Hu Weiyong took the path of his fellow townsman and gave Li Shanchang two hundred gold coins. The meaning was also very clear, he helped his brother for the sake of being from the same hometown.

At that time, Li Shanchang was awarded the title of Duke of Xuanguo for his contribution to the suppression of Wu, and was changed to the left prime minister. He was already the real leader of the central government. Obviously, this was not a big deal for him.

Our old Li was not greedy for money, he just couldn't bear to see the talents of his fellow townsman being buried.

So after Li Shanchang's "wise eyes to recognize gold", Hu Weiyong was directly transferred to the capital official as the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple in just two months, and was soon promoted to the Minister of the Taichang Temple.

And then less than two months later, it was 1368, the year when the Ming Dynasty was founded. Hu Weiyong can be said to have caught up with the last wave of east wind before the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

In less than half a year, his promotion exceeded the sum of the past ten years. Seeing the old Zhu sitting high in the Mingtang, Hu Weiyong also figured out the core trick of doing things in the central government: seek wealth and honor in the midst of licking.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the feudal era attached great importance to etiquette, and the old Zhu, who was still somewhat unruly, was too lazy to do it, so he handed over the tasks of posthumously conferring titles on the imperial concubines, sons, and kings to Li Shanchang, and let him determine the rituals for the suburban community and ancestral temples.

These tasks were exactly in line with Hu Weiyong's position as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, so Hu Weiyong quickly attached himself to Li Shanchang in the first three years of the Ming Dynasty.

And when the big pot was divided in the third year of Hongwu, he successfully became the Minister of the Secretariat.

In short, please call me Deputy Prime Minister Hu. 】
