The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 105 Zhu Yuanzhang's Wrath

Hu Weiyong was secretly delighted to hear this, but he pretended to be flattered.

"If you esteemed lords and earls are willing to recommend me, I would be eternally grateful!"

"If there is any need for my services in the future, I will do my utmost!"

Since they were extremely satisfied with what they heard, wasn't all they did just for this one sentence? "We don't need you to do anything. We have quite a bit of land in our fiefdoms, and these matters are all troublesome. Prime Minister Li has already dealt with most of them for us, but inevitably someone will dig them up again. We hope that Prime Minister Hu can cover for us then. We would be extremely grateful!"

Hu Weiyong patted his chest.

"Please rest assured, brothers. I, Hu Weiyong, am also from Huaixi. We are all old brothers. I will certainly not back down if anything happens!"

"There are many capable people among the noble families of Huaixi. Whether it is Marshal Xu Da or Duke Lan Yu, they are all very famous. Why do you need my help?"

Emperor Shengzong of Tang was too lazy to put in any effort.

“Those guys are not on our side, so we trust you, Prime Minister Hu, more than them. We hope that you can lead us, the old brothers of Huaixi!”

"We, the old brothers of Huaixi, are extremely grateful!"

Several people nodded.

Hu Weiyong pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"Since you are all seniors, I, Hu, am truly unworthy to be the leader. But since everyone has agreed, it would be unreasonable for me to disagree!"

"Please rest assured, everyone. As long as I, Hu Weiyong, remain in this position, I will naturally ensure your safety!"

Several people nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

For major issues, they naturally don't need to step in themselves.

Therefore, they possessed an ironclad certificate that granted them immunity from death once.

But something so important can't be taken out casually.

When something important comes up in the future, having something to absolve oneself is a good option.

As for those ordinary little things, they were left to Hu Weiyong to handle.

All of them combined in their discussions and scheming couldn't compare to Hu Weiyong. Hu Weiyong was just the right person for these tasks.

The group was having a very pleasant conversation.

That night, Zhu Xiong Ying frowned as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.

The note said that Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, and several others had gathered together and then arrived at Hu Weiyong's house.

Even the nobles remembered the entire journey very clearly.
If these people were here, they would be very surprised, as the records here basically match what happened that day.

Zhu Xiong Ying gritted her teeth as she looked at the contents above.

"These guys dare to cause trouble openly now. It's a pity they've picked the wrong person. Hu Weiyong is a sitting duck now. I'll deal with him sooner or later!"

Inside Yangzhou city, Zhu Yuanzhang and his crown prince Zhu Biao inspected the surrounding area.

They experienced a lot along the way, and both of them were deeply moved.

Zhu Yuanzhang came from a poor background and had a relatively clear understanding of what was happening in the outside world.

Although Crown Prince Zhu Biao had experienced some things, he had never lived such a hard life.

Looking at the lives of these people now, his expression became even more complicated.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a dark object in his hand, which was the food that the people of Yangzhou were eating.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the object in his hand and sighed.

"Our Great Ming Dynasty has been established for a long time, but the people of the world still do not live a good life. Many people are still eating this dark and murky stuff. It really makes us feel uncomfortable!"

Zhu Biao comforted Zhu Yuanzhang, looking at his expression. "Father, you have done very well. Everyone in the world knows that you are diligent in your duties and care for the people. You only sleep for two hours a day, and spend the rest of your time dealing with matters of state!"

"In order to improve the lives of the people, they even implemented a tax rate of one-thirtieth of the harvest, but the people of the world were not grateful at all!"

"But throughout history, which prosperous era has truly achieved a state where no one picks up lost items on the road and doors are left unlocked at night?"

"The hardships of farming are not just a matter of words. I believe that the people will live a better life in the future. At least when Xiong Ying ascends the throne, the people's lives will not be so bitter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder.

"The best thing you did was give us such a successful grandson!"

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've seen our sister and our grandson. We really miss them!"

Zhu Biao was furious when he heard this.

Originally, I planned to let Zhu Xiong Ying oversee the country, so that he could experience what it was like and start training him from now on.

Who would have thought that Zhu Xiong Ying would do such a good job?

Not only did he quickly seize control of the court, but he also uncovered the treacherous yet seemingly loyal Yang Xian and the case of the Empty Seal.

The methods used also amazed him.

Because of Zhu Xiong Ying's matter, he had been beaten by Zhu Yuan Zhang quite a bit recently, and he harbored a lot of resentment towards his eldest son.

When we get back, I'll definitely hang it on a tree and whip it to vent my anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave half of the black flour cake in his hand to Zhu Biao.

The two of them struggled to eat, and their expressions showed that the food was really hard to swallow.

At this moment, Mao Xiang, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, walked over with a letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is an urgent dispatch from Yingtian Prefecture, a letter from Her Majesty the Empress!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth stretched into a wide grin, like a lotus flower.

"Otherwise I would know that my sister still cares about me. We've only been gone for a short time, and she's already missing me!"

"See that? They wrote to us just a few days later!"

After saying that, he glanced at Zhu Biao as if showing off.

Zhu Biao was extremely depressed. Since Chang's death, he had not felt this kind of care from his partner for a long time.

Chang was the eldest daughter of Chang Yuchun.

They grew up together and could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Therefore, after the two parties were formed, their relationship was extremely good.

It was not until Chang passed away from illness that Zhu Biao was heartbroken for a long time.

Thinking of this, he thought of his eldest son, Zhu Xiong Ying.

That brat.

Even Mother knows to write a letter to Father, so why doesn't this brat know to write one to me? "Father, why don't you read what Mother said in her letter? Does she miss me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently upon hearing this.

"Go away, go away! Why do you always have to be involved in everything? This is a letter from our sister, what does it have to do with you!"

"Don't peek! I want to see this by myself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter with a smile, but after reading its contents, his face instantly turned ugly, and he slammed the letter down on the table.
