Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

"You all go down, I and the young master have something to say."

After Hu Weiyong boasted to himself for a moment, he glanced at Pei Jie and others and said slowly.

Pei Jie and others bowed to Hu Weiyong and Hu Fei respectively and slowly exited the main hall.

After everyone left, Hu Weiyong sat on a chair, turned to look at Hu Fei, and his expression became serious.

"Now that you have established yourself in the Imperial Academy and have become a martial artist with unparalleled archery skills, it is time to take this opportunity to enter the imperial bureau and seek an official position."

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and said thoughtfully.

"Um."

Hu Fei nodded and for the first time did not object to Hu Weiyong's decision.

This is because he also feels that it is time. If he wants to save Hu Weiyong, he must gain a foothold in the court situation. This is also the first step that must be taken to fulfill the ambition in Hu Weiyong's heart.

"With your name and His Highness the Crown Prince's favor for you, it should not be difficult to find a high-level official position. I have been thinking deeply about it recently and hope to arrange a suitable position for you."

Seeing that his son did not refuse, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then continued.

"The official position cannot be too high. If it is too high, Your Majesty may not agree to it, and it will also be easy for people with ulterior motives to sow discord."

But this time Hu Fei shook his head and said.

"Then tell me, which yamen do you want to enter? As long as you are willing, I will try my best to help you."

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

"The Governor's Mansion."

Hu Fei curled his lips and said slowly.

"What?!"

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Hu Fei looked at Hu Weiyong's shocked expression and smiled without saying a word. He had already guessed that Hu Weiyong would react this way.

"You should know the status of the Governor's Office in the court. This is also the reason why His Majesty appointed his adopted son Li Wenzhong to be in charge. Since you said that Your Majesty is worried that I have second thoughts and wants to weaken my power as prime minister, how can you let him

You enter the Governor's Mansion!"

Hu Weiyong frowned and said in confusion.

The Metropolitan Governor's Office was the most important department of the Ming Dynasty and the highest military organization. It controlled the national army and had the power to command and mobilize troops.

"Because of this, Your Majesty can rest assured that you have to bring this matter to His Majesty personally. If you really have second thoughts, how dare you propose to His Majesty that I enter the Governor's Mansion in person?"

"When the suspicion is over, your Majesty will feel more at ease with you. Even if someone interferes with it, Your Majesty will no longer believe it."

Hu Fei smiled and said confidently.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong nodded hesitantly, but then he couldn't help but frown, with worry on his face.

"Even if what you say is reasonable, don't you even know that one learns from one's mistakes? Have you forgotten that you just escaped the difficulties of Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong in the Imperial College!?"

"You should also know that the reason why Li Wenzhong deliberately made things difficult for you is because you beat Cai Yuanji. Cai Yuanji is one of his people. This matter will not be resolved easily."

"If you choose to enter the Governor's Mansion, Li Wenzhong will definitely find opportunities to continue to make things difficult for you. Once you violate military law, even if I come forward, I may not be able to save you!"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.

He couldn't understand why his always smart son became confused now.

"So this is the second reason why His Majesty will definitely agree. Although His Majesty is not aware of the conflict between Li Wenzhong and I yet, I believe it will not be long before it reaches his ears, and he will feel more at ease by then.

"

"Once His Majesty knows that Li Wenzhong has a prejudice against me, he will naturally feel more at ease. As long as Li Wenzhong is here, Your Majesty will surely believe that I cannot make such a big mistake, and will no longer have any scruples."

Hu Fei explained with a smile.

"But don't forget, Li Wenzhong must have learned about your false transmission of the imperial edict from Cai Yuanji. Although the matter has not been exposed yet, it is only because His Highness the Crown Prince mediates it. Once Li Wenzhong uses this matter to deal with you in the future, His Majesty will definitely

You will be held accountable. It is a serious crime. If you do not handle it properly, not only you, but I will also be implicated."

Hu Weiyong frowned and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Li Wenzhong will not tell His Majesty this matter for the sake of quarrel, unless he intends to offend the Crown Prince. If that day comes, I will have a way to deal with it, and everything will be fine."

Hu Fei smiled and said affirmatively.

"What can you do?"

Hu Weiyong asked with a frown.

"We'll know when the time comes."

Hu Fei showed a meaningful smile and said lightly.

"Well, if you are confident, then I will go to the palace tomorrow to propose to Your Majesty that you be allowed to serve in the Governor's Mansion."

After thinking for a long time, Hu Weiyong said slowly.

After passing one incident after another, he now has great trust in his son.

"But in order to facilitate this, there needs to be a third reason for His Majesty to nod."

Hu Fei smiled and said.

"What reason?"

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"You will know then. You can go to the palace tomorrow to raise this matter with His Majesty. If nothing goes as expected, His Majesty will definitely not agree, but he will not refuse sternly. He will definitely find a compromise way to deal with you."

Hu Fei said with a smile.

Seeing that Hu Fei was unwilling to say anything, Hu Weiyong stopped asking further questions and was doubtful about Hu Fei's analysis.

After a few more pleasantries, Hu Weiyong stood up and left, returning to the front yard.

Hu Fei leaned on the chair, shaking his folding fan, with a thoughtful smile on his lips.

He was sure that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely agree to Hu Weiyong's request, but he would definitely not let him hold an important position. Since ancient times, there has been no emperor who has not been suspicious, and the best way to avoid the suspicion in his heart is to avoid it from the very beginning.

Avoid everything possible.

Hu Fei didn't care about this. He entered the Governor's Mansion not because he wanted to deal with Li Wenzhong, nor to control the Governor's Mansion, but because he had another purpose that was not explained to Hu Weiyong.

But if you want to enter the Governor's Mansion, you still need the help of one person, and this person has long been in Hu Fei's plan.

"It seems like it's time to go to the East Palace in person to pay his respects."

Hu Fei looked at the sparsely fallen leaves in the courtyard and said lightly, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

...

The next day.

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you."

Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the main hall, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang who was leaning on the bench and reading the latest issue of Hanlin Daily, and said slowly.

"Oh? Let him come in."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, and as he spoke, he quickly glanced at the new Liaozhai manuscript he was reading, and then hid the Hanlin Daily in a collapsed corner.

Pang Yuhai agreed, turned around and left the hall, and soon followed Hu Weiyong into the hall again.

"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong, is here to see you."

After Hu Weiyong entered the palace, he respectfully saluted and said hello.

"Hu Xiangping, please make a living."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said with a smile.

After Hu Weiyong thanked him, he slowly stood up.

"I suddenly entered the palace. Didn't you disturb His Majesty's rest?"

Hu Weiyong asked slowly with a smile on his face.

"No, what's wrong with Hu Xiang?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked slowly.

However, he was wondering about the purpose of Hu Weiyong's visit, because Hu Weiyong did not report anything during the morning meeting.

"Your Majesty, I came to the palace today because of the dog's affairs."

Hu Weiyong smiled, raised his hands and said with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Oh? What's the matter? But it doesn't matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"Quinzi has always been naughty and has been in trouble since he was a child. However, since the last car accident, his whole person seems to have changed. Not only has he shown his talent in literature, but now he has also shown his talent in martial arts. I am very pleased."

"The Chinese New Year is approaching. After this year, the dog has grown a year older and is already quite old, so I thought about finding a position for him in the court. After much deliberation, I felt that this son should go to the Governor's Mansion for training.

Military discipline has always been strict in the army, and I hope I can temper his temper in the Governor's Mansion and take the opportunity to let military discipline discipline him."

Hu Weiyong bowed and spoke eloquently.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but change his expression, and there was a trace of solemnity between his eyebrows...
