Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 17 All the ministers in the court were shocked. Why did His Majesty call Chu Nan?
"What's going on? What geisha?"

Hu Weiyong was so angry that his voice was difficult to contain. As a result, many officials around him heard Hu Weiyong's curses and looked over in disbelief.

Why are they here, discussing geishas, ​​wanting them in broad daylight? His Majesty will be here soon.

Even the two officials from the Zhejiang East Party who were discussing visiting prostitutes tonight looked over in shock.

"Is Hu Weiyong scolding Zhao Wenhui? Isn't he a famous honest official? It is said that he is not interested in women, so how come he is involved with geishas?"

"Ah, what's the big deal? We are all men, who doesn't like women? I can't stand these honest officials. They obviously like women but pretend not to like them. How can we be so open and frank!"

"That makes sense. Zhao Wenhui usually likes to pretend, saying all sorts of things about Confucius and Mencius. Now that it's all exposed, where can he put his face?"

Many disdainful eyes were cast in this direction, and the discussion became louder and louder. Even Lord Zhang felt ashamed and took several steps back, hoping to distance himself from Lord Zhao.

“Hu, Hu…” At this moment, Zhao Wenhui, who always attached great importance to Qingming, blushed with shame.

He did do this, but how could Hu Weiyong say it here?

"What!" But Hu Weiyong's anger obviously had not dissipated, and he glared with his eyes wide open and shouted.

"You dare to do it but you don't want to admit it?"

"Lord Hu!" But this time, Zhao Wenhui was also a little anxious.

He was Hu Weiyong's subordinate, not a slave. At other times, Hu Weiyong could beat and scold him, but there were so many people here, and Hu Weiyong disregarded his privacy and humiliated him, so he became a little angry.

Then he thought of the tenderness he had with Xiaoyue that night, and he got completely carried away.

"Master Hu, you can scold me, but you shouldn't scold a weak woman like Xiaoyue. She is also forced by life. She is really a good person."

"What!" Hu Weiyong got angry when he heard that Zhao Wenhui dared to contradict him.

"How dare you contradict me for such a woman? Don't you know how many men she has served? Don't you know what her body is like?"

"But..." But Zhao Wenhui still spoke firmly.

"Master Hu, Xiaoyue said that we can't blame her for what she said. She was blackened by the cannon when we attacked Jinling. She is also a victim."

"So what you said, Lord Hu, is a bit too hurtful to her."

"What!" Hu Weiyong couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't expect that such a smart subordinate of his would be bewitched like this by a prostitute.

"Pa!" Then he slapped Zhao Wenhui in the face.

"Break your mother's head!"

"roll!"

“This, this…” Zhao Wenhui was really scared when she saw Hu Weiyong’s murderous look. She dared not to talk back anymore and went to hide aside.

Other ministers, such as Lord Zhang who had just spoken, and even the two corrupt officials from the Zhejiang East Party, did not dare to look and all turned their heads away.

Hu Weiyong was the leader of the Huaixi Party and had great power, so great that even if he cursed people here, no one would report it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because the report was given to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably only give him a verbal reprimand, because Hu Weiyong was too capable and Zhu Yuanzhang would not fail to use him, at most he would be fined a little salary.

After Hu Weiyong was punished, the good days of this informer were probably over.

So who would dare to provoke Hu Weiyong? Everyone turned a blind eye to this matter.

But just because they don’t dare doesn’t mean Yang Xian doesn’t dare.

"Haha, Lord Hu, why are you so angry?" Yang Xian saw Hu Weiyong was furious and walked over with a smile.

"You are going to welcome General Lan Yu with His Majesty. Do you want to meet His Majesty and General Lan Yu who has returned triumphantly with this stinky face?"

"Don't be angry. After the court session, come and taste tea with me. My subordinates have presented me with a lot of the best West Lake Longjing tea, and we are waiting for you, Lord Hu, to taste it together."

"Oh..." Yang Xian sighed.

"I don't know what's wrong with this subordinate. He has been giving me this and that these days, such as top-quality Tieguanyin, deer antlers, thousand-year-old ginseng, and coral. I can't even collect them all. I don't even have room to store them at home."

"I'm really annoyed. Is there any room for it at home, Lord Hu? How about I give some to you? Have you seen the thousand-year-old ginseng? Here you go!" "When you go back home, you can take it back to show it off to the people in your hometown."

"Yang Xian, you!!!" Hu Weiyong was so angry when he heard Yang Xian's words.

During this period, his power in Beijing was greatly suppressed, while Yang Xian's power was growing day by day, so he was already very annoyed with Yang Xian.

In fact, he had all the items that Yang Xian mentioned, and he didn't care. But Yang Xian actually mocked him in the street, and he was really furious.

He was so angry that his eyes turned red: "Yang Xian, don't think I don't know that many of your subordinates have been greedy for money after taking office!"

"You still accept their things and dare to be so arrogant. Be careful or I will report you to His Majesty!"

"Ha!" But when Yang Xian heard Hu Weiyong's angry look, he looked disdainful.

"Sir Hu, I know you are unhappy with me and want to suppress me, but if you report me for corruption, I'm afraid both of us will suffer."

"Master Hu, are you an honest official? I'm afraid you have collected more things than me over the years, right?"

"Haha, Hu Weiyong, you should take control of the situation in the capital first. You can't even keep the positions of your own officials, and you still want to deal with me? Save your energy."

After saying that, Yang Xian left with disdain.

What kind of person is this? Are you worthy enough to fight him? According to the current situation, Yang Xian will soon become the king of this capital!

"Damn it!" Seeing Yang Xian being so arrogant, Hu Weiyong could only feel helpless and furious.

He watched the corrupt officials under Yang Xian making money coolly, but his own honest officials didn't even have the courage to resist Zhu Yuanzhang, and he felt extremely helpless.

But the anger in my heart was growing.

Yang Xian, just wait for me. If you dare to humiliate me, I will make sure you die in my hands!

Also, no matter who allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to govern the world like this, I, Hu Weiyong, will make that person pay after I find out!
"Your Majesty has arrived!" At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon sedan chair also arrived, accompanied by princes such as Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, the officials present also knelt down and saluted.

Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian didn't dare to wander around anymore and returned to their original positions.

Zhu Yuanzhang did a lot of things in the past few days.

The first thing was to deal with corrupt officials. Although Zhu Biao was doing this, he also helped to control it from behind. After all, too many officials could not be transferred at one time, otherwise it would easily cause chaos.

The current result is just as Chu Nan said, the work efficiency of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly improved, and the political achievements in many places have been achieved in just a few days.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that some officials were greedy for money, but he did not interfere. As long as they performed well and were not too greedy, he would not investigate at this stage.

Moreover, his Jinyiwei was already being formed, the first batch of Jinyiwei had already been dispatched, and those transferred officials were also under surveillance.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid that these officials would get away with it.

The second thing is to deal with those disobedient officials.

That's even simpler. Just frame them and then threaten them. That's why many honest officials have been tortured to death by him recently.

They had originally planned not to come today, but now they all came obediently.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite proud. You are not worthy to fight with me!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily suppressed his happy mood, because his main focus now was to welcome Lan Yu. Recently, the power of civil officials in the court has become quite strong, and he could just use the Lan Yu incident to suppress this group of civil officials.

This matter can go so smoothly, all because of Chu Nan. Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see what Chu Nan was doing now, and then glanced at the ministers.

"Huh?" But Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around and didn't see Chu Nan, so he spoke in shock.

"Is Chu Nan here? Hasn't he come yet?"

"Chunan?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was not loud, but the officials around him could hear it clearly and were all shocked.

"Who is Chu Nan? Why does Your Majesty care about him?"

Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian naturally heard it as well and were surprised. Who is Chu Nan?
