Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 435
"Hu Xiang, Hu Xiang..." The voice of an eunuch brought Hu Weiyong back to his senses.

"Oh. What is Ji Gonggong's order?" Hu Weiyong came to his senses only to find that the court meeting was over.It turned out that what Wang Guangyang said was correct, the Chaohui could really fish.

"Your Highness, please stay with Mr. Hu." Eunuch Ji said softly.

"Okay." Hu Weiyong gathered himself together, and after all the officials had retreated, he cupped his hands and asked, "Your Highness, what instructions do you have for the old minister?"

"Hu Xiang's face is not very good-looking." The prince stood up from the throne and asked warmly, "Are you too tired?"

"Ashamed," Hu Weiyong smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, it's because the old minister will take a nap at noon, so that he can be energetic in the afternoon. As a result, at noon today, he played a game of chess with Wang Xiang secretly, which delayed the nap time. It's really a plaything. ah."

"Hey, you can't say that, one piece of one piece is the way of civil and military affairs." The crown prince waved his hands and said with a smile: "Hu Xiang is in charge of the Kyushu Wanfang for my father and son. It is too hard for you to worry about everything in the world."

He said with a smile to Hu Weiyong: "How is it? I will arrange a different errand for you, how about changing your mind?"

"That's great." Hu Weiyong smiled, but a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes. "I don't know what His Royal Highness wants the old minister to do?"

"It's a good thing." The prince said with a smile: "Isn't it true that Master Song and the rest have come to an end when they re-edited the history of the Yuan Dynasty? But because the history was too hasty last time and the quality of the book was not good, the emperor ordered me to be cautious. Therefore, this palace I would like to ask Hu Xiang to go to the National History Museum to review it, this time we must ensure the quality, otherwise Guo Chaoxiu's "Yuan History" will become a joke."

"That's it." Hu Weiyong was flattered.We must know that compiling the history of the former dynasty is not only a historical issue, let alone a literary issue, but also a very sensitive political issue.

Therefore, it is customary for the prime ministers to compile history in all dynasties, so that they can better grasp the overall situation.

Moreover, it is really a great honor for literati to lead the coffin of the previous dynasty.So in this dynasty, in the second year of Hongwu, when Boss Zhu wanted to edit history, Li Shanchang excitedly waited for the title of "President of Yuan History" to fall on his head.

But waited and waited, but waited until Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Song Lian and Wang Yi as the executive officers of "Yuan History".This made Li Shanchang so wronged that he couldn't help but go to Boss Zhu and say, I can also edit "Yuan Shi".

Boss Zhu replied, Mr. Li is busy with government affairs, and literature is not his specialty, so don't get involved in compiling history.

Lao Li blushed with embarrassment, and never mentioned this again.

What's more, Li Shanchang was a failure in the previous dynasty, but Hu Weiyong didn't even pass the exam for scholar.So even though Hu Xiang was powerful, he never thought of going to the National History Museum.

But should I say it or not, the more this person can't get it, the more commotion it will be.In particular, even Li Shanchang didn't get the chance to revise "Yuan Shi". Although he was only reviewing it, he would definitely be able to get a name on it, which would be better than the old boss.

"Then the old minister should be respectful rather than obedient." Hu Xiang agreed without any suspense.

"Okay, then pack up your things and enter the museum tomorrow." The crown prince nodded with a smile, and ordered: "Over there, you can arrange the errands yourself, and I don't have to worry about it."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister will explain it well." Hu Weiyong said respectfully.

~~
On the day Hu Xiang entered the museum, His Royal Highness King Yan, as the special envoy of the prince, boarded a ship at Jiangdongmen Wharf and went to inspect the Beiwa Navy on Chongming Island...

At this time, Chongming Island did not form a large island like later generations, but was composed of dozens of large and small sandbars.

But its importance is far higher than later generations.The Song and Yuan Dynasties set up Tianci Salt Field here, second only to Changlu Salt Field in scale.Because it is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River and is an important shipping node, the Yuan Dynasty set up Chongming Prefecture here, which belongs to Yangzhou Road.

In the second year of Hongwu, Chongming changed the prefecture into a county, and later changed to Suzhou Prefecture.And set up the Yamen of the Japanese General Military Officer in Xisha, and the huge Japanese fleet is also stationed here.Because the island is densely populated and the market is prosperous, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially inscribed the inscription "Yingzhou on the Sea" and bestowed it on Chongming.

And Jinghaihou Wu Zhen is the undisputed king of Chongming.Over the past few years, he has managed this place like an iron bucket.Here, he is always calm and calm, because there is no one or anything that can challenge him.

But today, the 'Chongming King''s face, which resembled Brother Nai's, could hardly conceal his shock and uneasiness.

His nephew Wu Gao and son Wu Zhong, who were summoned by him to discuss the matter, both saw his abnormality, and the former asked strangely, "Uncle, what happened?"

"I just received an urgent report that King Yan is coming to inspect, and I will arrive early tomorrow morning." Wu Zhen handed a small piece of paper to his nephew for circulation.

The two of them watched it but couldn't understand his mood, instead they were a little excited. They had been studying with the kings in the Daben Hall for so many years, and they had been lying low and being a kid, no different from a little book boy.It is naturally excellent to have the opportunity to let His Highness see how majestic he is now.

"It's nothing, right? It's just a normal inspection." Wu Zhongman said indifferently.

"Yes, uncle." Wu Gao echoed.

"Don't you think it's a coincidence that he came at this time?" Wu Zhen took back the paper, pulled out the lampshade, and burned it with the flame. "Over there, the king of Chu went out to sea with his front foot, and he came to Chongming with his back foot. There is no connection here? The devil would believe it."

"Don't tell me, the king of Yan only brought his own guards, and he didn't have any extra troops. It just so happened, what can 500 people do?" Wu Gao didn't believe it.

"That's right, Dad. You don't know that the third and the fourth have always been in conflict, and the third and the sixth got mixed up, so the fourth has never been involved in these matters, so it should have nothing to do with him." Wu Zhong didn't believe it either.

Wu Zhen looked at his nephew's face, which still retained an innocence that was not polluted by knowledge.He sighed helplessly and said, "You have always heard, 'Brothers fight against the wall, and outsiders control their affairs'?"

"What does uncle think he is here for?" Wu Gao asked.

"Keep an eye on us and don't let us act rashly." Wu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"We can't move, he likes to stare." Wu Zhongman smiled nonchalantly.

"That's right, what's the big deal at most?" Wu Gao also laughed.

"Hey, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other..." Wu Zhen sighed and said, "On the day before King Yan's departure, Prime Minister Hu was imprisoned in the National History Museum by the crown prince in the name of Xiu Yuan History. Now I can't get in touch with him outside..."

"Coincidentally, what does it have to do with Hu Xiang?" The two looked puzzled.

"It's a big relationship..." Wu Zhen smiled wryly. He and his nephew had such a big cognitive gap, and he couldn't just blame the child for being ignorant.The main reason is that he didn't tell the two of his elder brother's plans.

If these two boys knew that His Royal Highness King Chu was about to be buried in the belly of a fish, they wouldn't be so careless.

Wu Zhen hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still didn't tell them.The fewer people who know about the matter of punishing the nine clans, the better.Not telling them is loving them.

"Anyway, the two of you will accompany you all the time, and if His Royal Highness Yan has any changes, please report at any time."

"Yes, uncle."

"Yes, Dad." The two responded.
