Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

After listening to Yang Xian's introduction to the Maxim heavy machine gun, Zhu Biao was so shocked that he could not calm down for a long time.

Before leaving, Zhu Biao asked Yang Xian one last question.

"Since Your Majesty already knew that Hu Weiyong was planning a rebellion, why didn't you take him down in advance?" Zhu Biao stopped, looked up at Yang Xian, and asked.

Zhu Biao, a benevolent gentleman, believed that this would minimize casualties. Moreover, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, so it would be better to take precautions before it happens. Although Zhu Biao was not afraid of fighting, he thought that it was best to solve the problem without using weapons, just like the previous mutiny in the Beijing camp.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Tu Jie asked Hu Weiyong a similar question.

"Godfather, do you think His Majesty knows about what we have been doing these days?" Tu Jie, who was bending over, looked up at Hu Weiyong and asked carefully.

Hu Weiyong shook his head.

Seeing this, Tu Jie finally felt relieved.

Even though he had already boarded Hu Weiyong's irreversible pirate ship, Tu Jie was still afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart. This could be seen from the fact that he still called Zhu Yuanzhang "Your Majesty". But then again, all the brothers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world respected and feared him.

But it was obvious that Tu Jie misunderstood Hu Weiyong's meaning.

Hu Weiyong looked at Tu Jie, raised a meaningful smile, and said: "Your Majesty may know."

Tu Jie's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and even his breathing became rapid at this moment.

Fortunately, Hu Weiyong's voice continued to sound.

"Maybe I don't know, but it doesn't matter anyway."

"He probably knows about forming cliques and pursuing personal interests, but he never thought we would dare to rebel. Even if he heard some rumors, he would not take action against me as long as he did not have substantial evidence."

Tu Jie's face was full of confusion, but he didn't dare to ask.

Is there any emperor who doesn’t dare to touch his own subjects?

In Tu Jie's opinion, there is no need for evidence for such a thing. If he were the emperor, he would have taken action at the slightest sign of trouble.

Hu Weiyong saw what Tu Jie was thinking, and glanced at his adopted son. His aura changed, and he said, "Because I am the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"And Zhu Yuanzhang wants me to be the last prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. No, the last prime minister in history!"

"He doesn't just want me to step down. If he kills me without knowing why, it won't be easy to record in history books!"

In Tu Jie's eyes, Hu Weiyong's figure became extremely tall at this moment.

On the other side, the Duke’s Mansion.

Yang Xian looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Because your majesty's target is not just Hu Weiyong."

Having said this, Yang Xian stopped.

Zhu Biao was very intelligent. He could understand the meaning of Yang Xian's words by listening to the music. He quickly understood the meaning of Yang Xian's words and his face changed immediately.

Zhu Biao suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Xian, trying to confirm what he was thinking.

Yang Xian, who was standing in front of him, nodded slightly.

Because the matter was too serious, Zhu Biao did not dare to stay. After saying goodbye to Yang Xian, he went straight to the palace.

For the next period of time, the entire capital city was exceptionally peaceful.

But the undercurrent beneath the calm waves makes some people feel vaguely uneasy.

Because they saw that the undercurrent would eventually flow to the man sitting on the dragon throne. In response to the transfer of most of the troops from the Beijing Camp to support the front line of the Eight-Nation Battlefield, people in the court have been raising objections these days.

But it seemed that the dragon throne was too high, so that the originally wise and powerful emperor did not seem to see clearly the undercurrent in the capital.

However, the capital has been peaceful these days. As the days go by, the few remaining people are beginning to wonder if they are overthinking.

In fact, Hu Weiyong has been taking action.

Among them was the Japanese princess who was constantly running around in the capital to launch the Red Sleeves Recruitment Plan.

As for Yang Xian.

He stayed at home, quietly cleaning the brand new and shiny Maxim heavy machine guns.

Next to the machine gun lay boxes of freshly-made ammunition.

everything's ready.

Everyone is waiting for the good show to begin.

royal palace.

The heavily guarded Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as he looked at the secret letter handed to him by the Jinyiwei.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know what Hu Weiyong was thinking?

The strength of the Jinyiwei was far beyond everyone's imagination. In this Ming Dynasty, because of Yang Xian, the Jinyiwei did not shine as they did in the original time and space, so much so that even Hu Weiyong underestimated and ignored their existence.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang took a series of actions during these days was to make Hu Weiyong think that he had an opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the vast majority of civil and military officials in the court and officers at all levels in the Beijing camp were loyal to him.

But if Zhu Yuanzhang was told that all the civil and military officials in the court were loyal to Hu Weiyong under his leadership, he would never believe it. Moreover, his old brothers were also involved.

As a military veteran, he understood how much influence a general had on his officers.

Zhu Yuanzhang had personal experience of this. Just ask his brothers in the Red Turban Army at that time whether they were loyal to him or to the nominal marshal Guo Zixing.

Through the years, with the secret management of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhu Yuanzhang had a book in his hand. All the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the officers above the rank of battalion commander in the capital camp, were on this list in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew exactly who was absolutely loyal to him and whose loyalty was discounted.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not only for Hu Weiyong, but also for Zhu Yuanzhang.

In order to ensure that Hu Weiyong could take action, Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity of dispatching reinforcements to the front line and transferred away most of the officers who supported him in the Beijing camp.

Of course, in order not to alert the enemy and arouse Hu Weiyong's vigilance, a small number of them were left behind.

One can imagine what happened to these officers who deliberately stayed behind to be loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At that time, once Hu Weiyong launched a mutiny, this group of people would be at the forefront and face great risks. If Hu Weiyong wanted to completely control the Beijing Camp, he would have to deal with them first. If these people were really as loyal to the Ming Dynasty as written in the Jinyiwei investigation report, then what awaited them would only be Hu Weiyong's butcher knife.

But if they surrendered, they could save their lives.

What would Zhu Yuanzhang think at that time? How would he view them?
In fact, the fate of these people was sealed the moment Zhu Yuanzhang decided to keep them in the capital camp.

There was no expression of emotion on Zhu Yuanzhang's face when he made this decision.

This is the emperor. (End of this chapter)
