The news Zhang Yu could bring back was very limited.
But even so, Chu Ze stayed in the palace until nightfall, and then left the palace.
And Lan Yu was directly arranged to go to the camp.
And when Chu Ze left the palace, his carriage was stopped on the way home.
"Uncle Hu. Why do you come to me so late?"
"My dear nephew, you are a very busy man right now. Even my uncle would find it difficult to see you!"
When Chu Ze led people to Lingtian Pavilion, Hu Weiyong was already waiting for him here.
When Hu Weiyong saw Chu Ze dressed in Feiyu suit.
He also felt a little emotional for a while.
Although he knew that sooner or later, Chu Ze would soar into the sky and start to rise steadily, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
Especially, he would actually become the commander of the Imperial Guard.
This can be said to have caught Hu Weiyong off guard.
You must know that among the people in the court who have jointly boycotted the existence of the Jinyiwei institution, Hu Weiyong is equivalent to the leader.
However, Chu Ze suddenly took the position of commander of Jin Yiwei.
This made Hu Weiyong not know what to say for a while.
After all, in Hu Weiyong's view, Chu Ze's final destination should be one of the prime ministers.
But what Hu Weiyong never dreamed of was that His Majesty would actually place Chu Ze in the position of commander of the Jin Yiwei.
In Hu Weiyong's view, Chu Ze and him were grasshoppers on the same rope.
And they opposed Jin Yiwei, and now Jin Yiwei's ultimate spokesperson has become Hu Weiyong's 'one of his own'.
Such a change can be said to have caught Hu Weiyong off guard.
It also made the ruling and opposition parties gradually calm down about the Jin Yiwei matter.
After all, no one expected that His Majesty would suddenly change the person in charge of Jinyiwei at such a time.
"Hey, uncle, that's what you said. What can a junior like me do to do? I'm just here to show off."
"Hey, it sounds like a big deal. Although I am the commander of the Jinyi Guards, I can't command anyone."
After Chu Ze looked at Hu Weiyong's complex expression, he also silently took off the knife from his waist.
Then he sat opposite Hu Weiyong with the same sad face.
After Hu Weiyong heard Chu Ze's almost complaining words, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"My dear nephew, what do you mean by this is that you only have a false name now and do not have any real rights?"
"Isn't that true? Look at me as a commander, when will I show up at the palace on time? Although I have the title of a commander, in fact I just wander around every day."
"But according to my nephew's wishes, you are just here to make a name for yourself!"
Hu Weiyong looked at Chu Ze who looked frustrated, and for a moment he couldn't figure out Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.
He was a little confused. Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously not happy to disband Jin Yiwei.
But at the same time, he changed coaches before the battle
And this person is still Chu Ze.
After Chu Ze came to power, he did not have any real power.
Could it be that he wanted Chu Ze to be a scapegoat?
Then he took the opportunity to make peace with the ministers' idea of resisting Jin Yiwei?
"My dear nephew! I'm afraid you are in some danger. Do you know what this Jin Yiwei is doing?"
Hu Weiyong, who had some suspicions in his mind, looked at Chu Ze sitting opposite him, and he couldn't help but say such a sentence with some seriousness.
When Chu Ze heard Hu Weiyong's words, his hand that was about to drink tea couldn't help but pause slightly.
"Danger? Uncle Hu, what do you mean by this? We don't want to make this joke!"
Looking at Chu Ze who seemed completely unaware of the danger, Hu Weiyong also frowned slightly.
"My dear nephew, do you know that during this period of time, the grain reserves in major granaries across the country have been mobilized?"
"Not only that, there are also varying degrees of redeployment of sergeants in military camps in various places."
"The prices of grain, grass, war horses, sergeants, warships, gunpowder and other items, as well as folk healing herbal equipment are all increasing."
"Do you know what these changes mean?"
After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Chu Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.
He was naturally very clear about what these changes meant.
Because the source of all this is himself.
However, when faced with Hu Weiyong's inquiry, Chu Ze still looked like he was thinking seriously.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass have to go first. Is this going to start a war?"
At this time, Chu Ze pretended to be extremely shocked, and looked at Hu Weiyong sitting opposite him with a somewhat questioning look in his eyes.
After Hu Weiyong saw Chu Ze's performance, he directly raised another question.
"Logically speaking, the Jin Yiwei monitors the world, and these news should not escape their ears. Is it possible that my nephew has not heard anything about these things?"
"Haha, Uncle Hu is joking. I have already said that although I am in charge of Jinyiwei now, in fact, the information conveyed by Jinyiwei does not pass through my hands at all."
"In addition, I am quite lazy by nature. How can I have the time to observe these things on weekdays? If I have that time, I might as well stay with Hongyan at home. If that doesn't work, I can quietly go to my golden house to relax. Fan."
"That's not right! There seems to be something wrong with what you said, Uncle Hu. Now, Uncle Hu, you are the only prime minister in the court! If there is going to be a war, then you shouldn't be unaware of this matter! How can I hear this? You seem to have guessed what you mean?"
"."
Under Chu Ze's change of topic, Hu Weiyong also temporarily let go of Chu Ze's scrutiny of the status of the Jin Yiwei.
Instead, he followed Chu Ze's words and turned the topic to his matters.
Food, grass, soldiers and horses were arranged in various places. He, Hu Weiyong, was the prime minister. Logically speaking, he should command the six ministries.
Any disturbance should not miss his ears and eyes.
But now, for such a big thing, he didn't hear any orders or news.
This also made Hu Weiyong a little alert.
After all, this matter is too abnormal.
As the saying goes: When things go wrong, there must be monsters!
Hu Weiyong is now gradually discovering that everything seems to contain an invisible danger in recent times.
He seems to have fallen into an extremely dangerous situation now.
Although Hu Weiyong does not have any evidence now, his intuition tells him that he is in danger now!
"Good nephew. I'm afraid lately."
Hu Weiyong looked at Chu Ze who was sitting opposite. Although he wanted to say something, when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them for a while.
After all, he, the prime minister, had not heard anything about such a big matter before, and the path of the matter had become obvious to this point.
His Majesty still had no intention of telling him.
Then I'm afraid this matter has already...
"Uncle, let's just fight. After all, it's the generals who go to the battlefield, not us."
"Right now, what I care about most is our own affairs, rather than those who can't afford the war. I heard that there has been a boycott of the Jin Yiwei in the imperial court recently, and I am now the commander of the Jin Yiwei."
"Uncle Hu, please give me some advice. Should I do something to show that I am more suitable, or should I just be a facade?"
"I've been thinking about it for a long time recently, whether I should make any move."
"What I'm most worried about right now is that by putting me in this position, is it a test for me or does it have other purposes?"
"If this is a test for me, will my future be ruined if I remain inactive like this?"
"If it's not a test, but His Majesty has another purpose, then what if I do something? Will it actually ruin His Majesty's important event?"
"Hey, even though I look at ease every day, it's actually no different than being roasted on a fire."
Looking at Hu Weiyong who fell silent for a while with a very solemn expression on his face, Chu Ze changed the topic again at this time.
But this time, Hu Weiyong did not follow his words and change his attention.
Instead, he was still meditating on his current situation.
He is now more and more sure that his current situation should be very dangerous.
But no matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't figure out where the danger came from.
As for the question Chu Ze asked him, where does he have time to give Chu Ze advice now?
He can't even handle his own affairs.
"It's up to you. You are the prince's confidant. His Majesty now intends to let the prince take over the government. At this time, he placed you in the position of commander of the Royal Guards, probably because he wants you to assist the prince."
"At this time, you can still behave appropriately. After all, if you are wrong, I think the prince will remind you as soon as possible."
While contemplating his own affairs, Hu Weiyong also smoothed over Chu Ze's questions.
After Chu Ze heard Hu Weiyong's words, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Uncle Hu is right! Sure enough, it is the right way to listen to what you seniors say!"
"Well, Uncle Hu. If there is nothing else, how about I go back and think about where to start?"
"Yes! Listen more to the words of the old-timers? Yes, yes, yes, listen more to the opinions of the old-timers! The wise nephew really wakes up the dreamer with his words!"
"ah?"
"Hahaha, nephew, feel free to do it boldly. After all, you are the prince's man, and His Majesty will not embarrass you. Young people, don't be afraid of making mistakes, be brave and try!"
"Okay! Thank you Uncle Hu for your advice!"
When Chu Ze left Lingtian Pavilion, he looked at Lingtian Pavilion behind him, and the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up with a slight evil smile.
"Uncle Hu, if Zhu Liangzu knew that it was you who asked me to kill him, I wonder if he would directly scold me."
