First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 667 Undercurrent

If he couldn't even keep Li Cunyi, then what would the people below think, and what would the nobles of Huaixi think?

Li Cunyi is not only Li Xiang's younger brother, but also his in-laws. This relationship is undoubtedly a family of close relatives. In this era that pays attention to the privacy of relatives, can the dignified prime minister just sit on the sidelines?

A person who doesn't even protect his close relatives, if something happens, will he bother to protect the people below? They are all officials of Ming Dynasty, why did they serve under the prime minister's command?

Hu Weiyong sighed: "You will go to Li's mansion in person in a while, and you must make it clear and let him rest assured that tomorrow, no matter what, I will do my best."

Chen Liang smiled wryly and said: "Master Xiang, what's the use of going to Li's Mansion at this time, why don't you go to Yan's Mansion, after all, it's not yet tomorrow morning, maybe there is still room for maneuver."

Hu Weiyong glanced at the direction of Miyagi and shook his head: "They are also on the verge of attacking. Chen Youzong is such a steady person, the sudden attack must be the intention of the palace."

Of course, Chen Liang was not unaware of this point, even they had long expected that His Highness might hit them in anger, and they were even prepared for their confidantes to be demoted.

Fighting against the king is no less than fighting against the sky. There is no reason to retreat from the whole body. It is just that you have to do it and try your best to gain a chance of survival.

But I didn't expect His Highness to be so angry that he wanted to attack Li Cunyi, even the Holy Majesty took good care of him, not to mention that Li Liangdi of the Eastern Palace was also extremely favored, second only to the Crown Princess, and Li Qi would also marry His Highness the Princess.

It is said that Li Cunyi is not only Hu Weiyong's close relative, but also related to His Royal Highness, otherwise they would not be so defenseless, they were really caught off guard.

Hu Weiyong had a bit of a headache, and the slight sense of complacency that had arisen today was instantly wiped out by His Royal Highness, and he regretted arranging this event, which would set him on fire.

Not long after, Tu Jie, Chen Ning and others also arrived, and many people were summoned by the Yan Mansion, and they did not deliberately conceal the news, so they all knew about it.

Of course, it wouldn't be possible for everyone to know so quickly, but Tu Jie and others deliberately paid attention to that side, and also recruited some officials who couldn't get along with the direct line of the Eastern Palace and wanted to sit on the wall.

After Tu Jie came in to salute, he said, "Brother Cun, please come over. It's best to resign tomorrow morning before they get into trouble."

"This is a way. Being impeached and demoted is two different things from voluntarily retreating. Others can't find any reason for it. The prime minister, the minister thinks it is feasible."

Hu Weiyong thought for a moment and vetoed: "This is His Highness getting angry. If you avoid the seriousness, you will not let His Highness vent your anger. The consequences will only be more serious."

Chen Ning answered: "But Li Cunyi's status is special, and I can understand the difficulties of the Prime Minister when I know it, but those people below are not necessarily, it will be difficult to reunite when people's hearts are scattered."

The crowd was silent for a while, and they were not involved in the Beijing camp, but the crown prince beat them hard again from elsewhere. It can only be said that he really deserves to be His Royal Highness the crown prince.

"The Beijing camp can no longer be moved in the future, the gain outweighs the loss!"

Hu Weiyong asked Tu Jie: "How big is the flaw in the Taipu Temple? Can you fill in the hole tonight, and can you single out the culprit?"

Tu Jie has been in charge of this kind of thing. After thinking for a while, he said: "The problem is actually not that big. It's just that we have been greedy for more oil and water. It's just that time is a little tight. If Chen Youzong and the others don't set up obstacles, they can make up for three or four by tomorrow morning. become."

"As for the crime, it is difficult to deal with. There are only two young ministers of Taipusi who are worthy enough. One was recommended by Chen Youzong, which is why they were able to find Li Cunyi so quickly. The other is ours, but That man is You Cheng's cousin..."

Chen Liang answered immediately, "Brother Chen will let the Prime Minister drive him, and there will be no other words."

There is no other way, how is this possible, the real power of the Taipusi Shaoqing is not easy to go up, not to mention that Li Cunyi will not die no matter what, the prince will take care of Li Xiangye and Li Liangdi's face even if he doesn't look at his face.

And others dare to take the blame, but it is difficult to save their lives. If they lose their official positions, they can get compensation from others, but if they lose their lives, what compensation is there? To be honest, if it is not for symbolic meaning, ten Li Cunyi are better There is no such right-hand man as Chen Liang.

Hu Weiyong told Tu Jie: "You go for a walk immediately, make up as much as you can, don't be stingy with money."

The imperial court was ruthless in suppressing corruption, but the hundreds of years of evils in the Song and Yuan Dynasties could be solved in a mere few years.

The tribute collected every year is a huge amount. Although it costs a lot to maintain and win people's hearts, there is still a surplus in the end, and it is easy to make up for the deficit of a Taipu Temple.

It's just that there is only one night, and the accounts that make up for the deficit will not match up, and it's just a remedy, just to plead for mercy tomorrow.

Tu Jie took the order to leave, and Hu Weiyong appeased Chen Liang again, and promised to do his best to support his younger brother's promotion to the post of Minister of Taipusi. Chen Liang is naturally grateful.

Then Chen Liang went to Li Cunyi's house. No matter what Li Cunyi's status was special, he couldn't let him speak out with resentment tomorrow, otherwise, for this kind of person, it would be enough to make things good or bad.

Hu Weiyong immediately wrote a letter to his mentor with his own hand, pleading guilty to him sincerely. Although Li Shanchang had no real power, when he left, he was granted the title of Prince and Taifu and gave gifts to those who would be worthy of the Taimiao in a hundred years. As long as he is not dead, Political influence will not dissipate.

After returning to the palace, Liu Jin inquired and learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned to the East Palace, so she turned around and walked from the Zuoshun Gate next to the Inner Wulong Bridge to the Wenhua Palace.

Walking into the hall, I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was crouching over the desk to review the memorial. Liu Jin stepped forward more than ten steps to bow down and salute. He only heard a sound, but Liu Jin did not move.

"The slave girl said something she shouldn't have said in front of the commander-in-chief, please be punished by His Highness!"

Zhu Biao didn't pay attention, and there was a clear and loud slap from below, about five or six slaps, before Zhu Biao slowly raised his head and glanced, "That's all."

Liu Jin's actions were within his expectations, and Chen Youzong's reaction was also the same. He originally wanted to give Hu Weiyong a quiet time to develop, but now it seems that it is better to make a fuss in the court, otherwise there will always be time to go. The idea of ​​whether to move or not.

The slap marks on Liu Jin's face were clearly visible, but he didn't seem to feel the slightest bit, so he got up naturally and walked to his prince's side to grind ink.

"After the court tomorrow, you can go to Yan's Mansion to visit on behalf of me. By the way, his precious ginseng should be used up. You can take two more from the inner bag and send them."

"promise."

"What is Chen Yunshu's current position?"

"I remember the servant girl should be a member of the Ministry of Officials."

"kindness."

Zhu Biao has seen more than ten memorials, all of which were impeached by the generals of the Beijing camp for Jiang Yu's actions today, and several even demanded that he be punished with the power of the army.

Killing Jiang Yu is of course not enough, this person is quite easy to use, and most people know about this matter, saying that severe punishment is just to save face, and the people who are close to the military captain's mansion will not be able to turn at any time to their discretion.

However, an explanation still needs to be given. Jiang Yu can't stay in the capital. It just so happened that Zhu Biao was planning to send someone to Korea.

After all, Zhu Di was still young, and Li Chenggui and Naha were not really vegetarians. If they followed common sense, they would not go crazy enough to murder a Prince of Ming.

It's not that Zhu Biao lacks a younger brother, but his father really can't let go of a son. If it dies, it's fine. God's will is so good, but he has already raised him to such a big age. It's not easy for Lao Zhu to taste it. The grief of losing a child in middle age.
