As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone around Hu Weiyong suddenly changed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare the Jinyi guards surround my prime minister's house?"
But Hu Weiyong still didn't believe it. He rebuked the domestic slaves.
"Jin Yiwei followed Zhu Shi's footsteps, what's so strange about finding him here?"
"As a member of my prime minister's family, how can you be so frightened when something happens? I always teach you to wait for the mountain to collapse without changing. Now, just a few imperial guards have scared you into talking nonsense like this. ?”
The slave was stunned for a moment after being scolded, thinking to himself that I usually just pour night fragrance for the house, so how come I have such a big responsibility?
He wanted to make the outside situation clear, but Hu Weiyong was usually very strict with his subordinates. If a slave dared to talk back when he was scolding him, he would kill him with a stick. Although the slave still wanted to warn him under the influence, he instinctively shut up now. He didn't say anything, but he couldn't say the words "Master, run quickly".
"You are so kind and calm, you are worthy of the magistrate and assistant!" Tu Cheng said flatteringly beside him.
"Those who achieve great things should be calm." Hu Weiyong showed a bit of complacency on his face. He turned to the trembling Zhu Yu and said, "Don't worry, my dear nephew. Even though the guards in royal robes come to our door, I'm afraid he won't dare to step into the gate of my house."
"You are as stable as a rock here."
"Thank you, Mr. Hu!" Zhu Yu reluctantly bowed his hands and saluted as his two sides fought.
"Yes." Hu Weiyong nodded, looked around and said with a smile: "The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mao Xiang, is no better than a junior. He is so rude and dares to come to my house without handing over a greeting card."
"I don't need to pay attention to him. I'll just let him wait at the concierge."
"Let him dry, and then he will go naturally."
As he said this, he wanted to go back to the study room with Chen Ning, Tu Cheng, and Zhu Yu to discuss the next move. But just as he turned around, he heard a commotion outside. There were also faint sounds of screams and curses.
"Huh? How dare these slaves for generations dare to make such a noise!" Hu Weiyong thought that the slaves in the mansion were frightened, and felt that he had lost the face of the prime minister's palace in front of Zhu Yu and others, so he frowned and said dissatisfied.
But he saw one of his close stewards running in and kneeling in front of him with a plop:
"Master! Run! Run!" the steward cried. "Why are you still lingering here? Madam and Young Master have been captured!"
"Looking at their posture, I'm afraid they're going to ransack the house!"
"What?" Hu Weiyong was really frightened this time. "Soldiers have entered the house? How is this possible!"
"I am the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty! Who dares to break through the door of my Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"I dare!"
With a strong shout, a young man was seen, wearing a red gauze robe with flying feather patterns on the ground, an embroidered spring knife on his waist, a gold three-mountain cap on his head, and a pair of foundation soap boots on his feet, leading a group of people. The guards, who were like wolves and tigers with swords, rushed in through the hanging flower gate.
"Mao Xiang!" How could Hu Weiyong not recognize him? In the past, as long as His Majesty drove him everywhere, went out to police and walked in and out, it was this person. Unlike Er Hu, who was serious about his words, Mao Xiang had always been cautious in his actions, and he had always been respectful and humble in front of them, the high officials of the court. How had Hu Weiyong ever seen him act so domineering?
"Hu Xiang, something happened to you." Mao Xiang smiled coldly. "Zhu Xian, the crown prince of Yongjia, conspired with Wang Zaixian, a native of Korea, to assassinate His Highness King Wu in order to seize the cement industry in His Highness's hands. According to the confession of the Marquis's wife, Xing, your left prime minister, Hu Weiyong, is also a complicit partner!"
"In compliance with His Majesty's order, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been sealed off, and Hu Weiyong and other interfering individuals have been arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Prison for severe interrogation!"
Every time Mao Xiang said something, Hu Weiyong's face became more horrified. When Mao Xiang finished speaking, Hu Weiyong calmed down and said angrily: "That's a bunch of nonsense!"
"I have always respected the Fifth Highness, and everyone in the government and the public knows about this!"
"How could you possibly murder His Highness?"
"Besides, what authority do you have to arrest the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province without the approval of the Three Laws Division!"
"Hey, His Majesty's decree, 'The Jin Yiwei is specially ordered to be in charge of the prison, and is given the power to patrol and arrest. The Jin Yiwei has the right to detect all unforgivable crimes such as conspiracy and rebellion, deceiving the public with lies, spying on the court, and transportation of barbarians outside the prince's palace." '"
"What!" Hu Weiyong took a few steps back in shock.
"Nonsense!" Chen Ning, a close confidant beside Hu Weiyong, stood up. "It's just the benefit of cement, why would he want to assassinate the prince and the vassal king? Zhu Xian is not a fool. How can he not know which is more important?"
"You are making this up!"
"There must be a hidden secret in this matter! How can you be so arbitrary when you hold such great power! I am Chen Ning, the imperial censor! Aren't you afraid that I will impeach you?" Chen Ning pointed his halberd at Mao Xiang in an upright manner.
"Shut up!" Mao Xiang opened his mouth and shouted.
"His Fifth Highness was killed by Zhu Siam's thieves. He was seriously injured and was in critical condition. The car was filled with blood. When he was sent to Chaoyang Gate, the people along the way saw it with his own eyes."
"Are you going to confuse right and wrong as soon as your lips touch? Could it be that His Highness the Fifth Prince is so full that he kills himself for fun?"
"What? His Highness the Fifth was seriously injured?" Chen Ning was stunned by Mao Xiang's confession. what's the situation?
Could it be that Zhu Xian was really angry and stabbed the king to death?
But why?
"Hmph, are you Chen Ning, the imperial censor? You can't find anything after wearing iron shoes." Mao Xiang looked at Chen Ning and snorted twice, and then waved his hand. "Come on, take down Dr. Chen together!"
"This person's name is also included in the list provided by the Yongjia Marquis Mansion. It saves us another trip!"
"This..." Seeing the two wolf-like guards rushing towards him, Chen Ning finally started to panic and wanted to hide behind Hu Weiyong.
"Don't panic!" But Hu Weiyong collected his thoughts. "Those who are clean will be cleansed by themselves! What will happen if we are taken away from you? We will have a clear day one day!"
He had finally thought it through, and he hadn't done anything yet. Although there are fights with the cabinet on weekdays, they are just normal means of fighting in the court. No matter how you calculate it, it will not lead to death.
Although there are plans or two on weekdays, they are still in a dark room, and no one can hear them except the two close confidants beside them. As long as he refuses to die and refuses to collude with Yongjia Hou, nothing will happen in the future. What's remarkable is that all those noble factions that were finally won over were all in vain.
Compared with his wealth and life, it’s just nothing!
"The so-called thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in the west of Hexi. If Commander Mao can't produce evidence, in the future, be careful of you, the great leader of the Six Yangs!"
After saying harsh words to Mao Xiang, Hu Weiyong was about to turn around and hint to the two cronies to be tighter after entering. However, before he could speak, Tu Cheng, who had been silent beside him, suddenly ran away. go out.
"Commander Mao! I am sent by His Majesty to lie down beside Hu Weiyong in the secret room!"
"You can't be indistinguishable between the enemy and me!"
"That's natural, Tu Yushi." Mao Xiang laughed and glanced at Hu Weiyong.
"Tu Yushi is well aware of the righteousness. His Majesty has already told me. This incident happened suddenly, but there was no time to inform Tu Yushi to take shelter in advance."
"Have you remembered all the evidence of Hu Weiyong's crimes during his daily conversations?"
"I remember! I remember everything!" Tu Cheng nodded his head, turned his head and cupped his hands to the stunned Hu Weiyong, with a slightly ashamed look on his face.
"Eun-sang, I'm sorry!"
"His Majesty gave me instructions early on, saying that if you win over me as your confidant, you will ask me to be conceited and tell the truth about the inappropriate things you say and do in your daily life."
"It's not that I'm unkind to my kindness, but it's His Majesty who is strategizing and has the ability to predict the unknown. How dare we commoners deceive him!"
Hu Weiyong was struck by five thunders. Before he could win over Tu Cheng, Your Majesty had already guessed that I, Hu Weiyong, had evil intentions? Will he definitely win over Tu Cheng as his confidant?
How can it be!
How could His Majesty accurately calculate who he wanted to win over?
not to mention,
At that time, I didn’t have any treacherous thoughts!
