Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Hu Fei and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Wei Chen dare not."

"It's just that I feel that I am ashamed of Your Majesty to become the number one scholar in such an inexplicable way."

Hu Fei shook his head, pretending to blame himself, and sighed.

"That poem of yours is enough to surpass anyone else's performance! So this position of No. 1 Scholar must be yours, and no one is more qualified than you!"

"I said you are, you are, who dares to object?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Whatever your Majesty says is whatever it is!"

Hu Fei bowed and said with a grimace.

He knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion and the one hundred thousand taels could only be given away.

Although he is not short of money, no one wants to see so much money flowing into other people's pockets.

"It's good to know!"

"I admit that I did wrongly accuse you before. The prince has told me everything. It was Xue Ru, the chief seal of the Imperial Academy, who took the opportunity to frame you. I have dismissed him from his official position and sent him to the border."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for Wei Chen. Wei Chen is so touched."

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said gratefully, his eyes seemed to be a little moist.

"Well, as long as you are truly loyal to the court, I will never let you be wronged."

"You can rest assured that although you have been appointed as the number one scholar, since you have been promoted to the governor's office, I will not force you to be on duty in the six departments. Now your wish has been granted, right?

"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei and asked slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will feel relieved now."

Hu Fei squeezed out a smile on his face, hurriedly held his hands, and pretended to be happy.

"Well, I still don't know what you are thinking about?"

"But you have to understand that my expectations of you go beyond that."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Fei, thought for a moment, and said seriously.

"Wei Chen understands."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if Wei Chen is not in the Sixth Department, as long as there is a place where he can serve the imperial court in the future, Wei Chen will do his best."

Hu Fei raised his hands and said equally seriously.

"That's pretty much it."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, just step back. I still have something to do."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, waved his hands and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wei Chen resigns."

As Hu Fei spoke, he bowed and left slowly.

At this point, he could only follow Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes and treat it as spending one hundred thousand taels to buy the top pick.

However, Xue Ru's fate finally put an end to his worries, and Zhu Biao's attention to this matter also made him feel gratified.

...

Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Hu Fei returned to the mansion in a not-so-happy mood, he saw the excited butler Qin Hai waiting in front of the mansion as soon as he got off the carriage. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Master! The young master is back!"

I saw Qin Hai shouting and running into the mansion in a hurry.

Hu Fei shook his head and walked slowly towards the mansion. He could already imagine how ecstatic Hu Weiyong would be at this moment...
