Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 149
Hu Weiyong's angry reprimand made everyone fall into silence.

Everyone's eyes were looking at him.

After a long time, Hu Weiyong directly flicked his sleeves and said: "King Yan is the prince appointed by the emperor to supervise the country. Since the emperor has asked King Yan to take charge, everyone will follow King Yan's arrangements. If you have any objections, just go to King Yan or the emperor." .”

What do you mean?
Is it equivalent to saying that you, the leader of hundreds of officials, the majestic Prime Minister Zuo, the person who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, have given up your job?

How can that work!
But Hu Weiyong has already left.

As soon as he came out, he met some of his party members.

Among them, Chen Ning was active and asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, what happened?"

Hu Weiyong glanced at him, said nothing, and went straight onto the sedan.

However, Chen Ning saw the message in his eyes and quickly followed.

When he arrived at Hu Weiyong's mansion, Chen Ning entered carefully through the side door, and he came to Hu Weiyong's side again.

Hu Weiyong retreated left and right, leaving Chen Ning behind, and said to him: "The current situation is still a matter of finances. As soon as the soldiers and horses of Beiyuan in Datong appear, they will not have to leave 380 million taels. Now whether it is the emperor , or King Yan, it’s very difficult to handle!”

"Eun Xiang means..."

Chen Ning whispered: "The villain takes the opportunity to instigate the officials in the capital, and go to the Ministry of Personnel together to ask for the salary owed by the imperial court, and continue to put some pressure on the imperial court, how about it?"

"Yeah." Hu Weiyong nodded.

But Chen Ning said: "Enxiang, will this make things very difficult for King Yan..."

"You can stop making too much of a fuss, just put some eye drops on King Yan and see what he does next. If he takes the initiative to come to the truth, it's not like the truth can't help him. "

Hu Weiyong said in a deep voice: "It depends on whether this King Yan is under our control!"

Chen Ning nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

On this trip to Lingnan, why did Hu Weiyong attack Zhu Fang, the second prince?

To put it bluntly, Hu Weiyong and his party members just felt that the second prince, Zhu Feng, had a perverse personality and was difficult to control.

Therefore, Hu Weiyong wanted to replace someone else.

The person overseeing the country now is Zhu Di, but Hu Weiyong is not sure whether this Zhu Di can be controlled by him.

That's why Hu Weiyong reacted like this. Faced with the imperial court's financial difficulties, he, the left-wing prime minister, almost said nothing, and even secretly asked his party members to find trouble for Zhu Di.

Not at home, I don't know how expensive Chai Mi is.

Only when you are at home do you know the difficulties of being in charge.

Hu Weiyong wants Zhu Di to be in the position of Prince Supervisor, which is not an easy position to sit on.

Here Hu Weiyong planned to give Zhu Di eye drops. In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang actually called two people. On the surface, he was looking for them to reminisce about the past, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang revealed something to Tang He and Xu Da.

"You are here! Tiande, how do you feel about going to Lingnan this time?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and chatted with Xu Da for a few words.

Xu Da replied: "Replying to the emperor, I am in Lingnan this time. I also followed His Highness the King of Qin to go to sea and conquer Southeast Asia. I have indeed gained a lot of knowledge."

"Oh? Conquer Nanyang..."

After Tang He heard this, he became interested and asked: "Wei Guogong, are the naval battles of His Highness the King of Qin different from those of the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Da smiled and said: "Big difference. First of all, it is the battleships. The battleships of His Highness the King of Qin are all It is made of fine iron, and there are powerful cannons on the battleship... To be honest, such a battleship is absolutely invincible in the entire world!"

"A battleship made entirely of fine iron..."

Tang He smacked his tongue when he heard this, shook his head and said, "How much will this cost?"

"Huh, he's rich!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "My son has a lot of money, how can he be like his father? Alas, when I came back this time, I was troubled by the military situation. The Ministry of War asked for 380 million taels of silver as military pay. As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved. , Food and grass go first! We, the Ming Dynasty, can’t even fight a war now.”

"The salaries of the soldiers are indeed indispensable."

When Xu Da saw Zhu Yuanzhang crying about poverty, he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I am willing not to receive a salary but to donate my own food to the court. This will solve the court's urgent need!"

"As expected of me, you are my loyal minister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally praised Xu Da after hearing what he said, but he couldn't be happy and said: "But, how many ministers like Tiande are there in the world? Alas! Where are you eating? , for the imperial court, it is just a drop in the bucket, completely useless! Now, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites are all asking for money, and the Ministry of Personnel still owes officials their salaries! Now the King of Yan Supervisor, I don’t know if he can withstand it.”

Tang He heard this and looked at Xu Da.

Neither of them knew what the emperor meant when he said these words to them.

"okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "I still have to find a solution for this money matter. What's the use of telling you this? Alas!"

Xu Da and Tang He were sent away.

When leaving the palace, Tang He said to Xu Da: "Mr. Wei Guogong, what the emperor said today sounds to me like he is deliberately trying to find you and me to cry for poverty?"

"The emperor wants to let His Highness King Qin know about this through us!" Xu Da pointed out the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Tang He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then your Majesty, can you just ask Duke Wei to come? The King of Qin and I are not related by marriage, and I, Tang He, can't speak in front of the King of Qin!"

"Right now, the capital is experiencing a turmoil. The prince is suddenly ill and can no longer hold the position of prince. The country is shaken and the East Palace is ownerless. Many people are eyeing that position!"

Xu Da asked half-jokingly: "Mr. Xin Guo, don't you think about which highness you want to take refuge in so that you can secure a future for yourself and your family?"

"I'm getting old!"

Tang He waved his hand and said: "I am already over fifty this year. I still don't know how many years I have to live and how many years I have to live well. I don't dare to get involved in the matter of seizing the legitimate son. I only know that I am loyal to the emperor." , you can have a worry-free life.”

"What Duke Xin Guo said is true." Xu Da smiled and nodded.

However, Tang He, who had just said that he was not preparing a team, came over to Xu Da and whispered: "Master Wei, you must support His Highness the King of Qin, right?"

Xu Da smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he didn't need to answer this question.

His daughter is about to marry Zhu Xi, does he have any other choice?

"Wei Guogong is very lucky. He gave birth to a good daughter!" Tang He said enviously, then turned around and got into the sedan chair and left.

Xu Da also got on the sedan, but when he watched Tang and the sedan go away, he said: "Humph, this old fox."
