Chapter 193 I really don't want to enter this officialdom!
"Weiyong, see the young master... This is a little bit of gadget that Weiyong sent to the young master."
In the Narcissus Village, Hu Weiyong stood in Zhu Lang's study and handed over a jade pendant from the side. The jade pendant could tell at a glance that it was a good jade, with cold tentacles, just like ice cubes. Zhu Lang was afraid of heat. He could give such a small thing, and it could also tell that Hu Weiyong was interested.
"Mr. Hu, you are a political affairs officer in the Secretariat. You give me this little thing. Are you asking me to play with it or not?" Zhu Lang smiled slightly.
"Oh... Compared with the young master, what kind of adult is Weiyong... You are the one who serves the country and the people, Weiyong has always seen it in his eyes and respects it very much. The cement offered by the young master this time is also extremely important to the Ming Dynasty, but the young master is still selfless. The young master is Weiyong's role model. Weiyong hopes to learn from the young master and seek welfare for the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Weiyong's flattery made Zhu Lang laugh, and then Zhu Lang directly took Hu Weiyong's jade pendant in his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Hu, I have taken it away... As for studying, I dare not take it as well, let's make progress with each other in the future.
By the way... Lord Hu, what's wrong with you coming to me this time? Wouldn't you just give me a jade pendant, right?"
"That's of course... I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble." Hu Weiyong nodded with a smile: "This time I came to find the young master for cement. Your Majesty issued an order to build a road with cement. This matter will be done by the subordinates. However, the subordinates have no experience in building roads. So I want to ask the young master to be in charge of the Ministry of Works, so I can help me check and build this cement road together."
"Oh..." Hu Weiyong's words made Zhu Lang nod slightly. It seemed that his cement was made. If this cement road could be built, the value of cement would be more obvious. As long as it could be recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang, then cement could benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, cement must be done well in the construction of cement. After thinking about it, Zhu Lang nodded and said, "Yes..."
"Oh, I really thank you very much for your son... By the way..." Hu Weiyong was very happy, but soon Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Lang again and asked softly: "By the son, you'd better not do something bad recently."
"Oh... Lord Hu, what does this mean?" Zhu Lang looked at Hu Weiyong with some surprise and asked.
"Young Master offended people... Although the tea business has helped the Ming Dynasty, the tea business has also made the young master a thorn in the eyes of some people. Weiyong has received some news. The Shanxi merchants have already set their sights on the young master and are trying to find Wang Xiang for help. However, if it is a frame-up by the righteous and open, we are not afraid of these Shanxi merchants, but Weiyong is just worried that these Shanxi merchants will not do human affairs. If they assassinate the young master, it will be troublesome."
Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Lang with worried eyes and said.
"Haha..." Zhu Lang laughed: "Master Hu, look, sometimes, before I knew it, I offended His Highness the King of Qin last time. Because of five ice cubes, His Highness the King of Qin burned my five kang rooms. One of his housekeepers fell to the ground, and twenty guards were sent to work. Even His Highness the King of Qin was also punished by His Highness fifty.
Although His Highness of the King of Qin didn't say anything, I knew that the other party hated me to death. It was already difficult for me. Now another Shanxi merchant has come and found Xiang Wang and Lord Hu. You want to help Zhu Lang..."
"Young Master, please rest assured. Li Xiang and I have always been on the side of the young master. Whenever the young master encounters anything, Li Xiang and I will not stand by. As long as the young master gives the order, Li Xiang and I will definitely listen to the young master's order." Hu Weiyong hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
Zhu Lang said with a sneer: "Mr. Hu, what am I? I can get the protection of you and Li Xiang. However, Zhu Lang heard what Mr. Hu said today, and Li Xiang was about to give up. I think Mr. Hu is very capable. When I enter the palace next time my grandmother and I will definitely thank Mr. Hu for taking care of our grandfather."
After saying that, Zhu Lang smiled slightly. At this time, Hu Weiyong immediately bowed and showed a happy expression and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shanxi merchants are hateful. Master must be careful. Weiyong will send a team of guards here. There is a personal military commander's mansion inside and Weiyong's guards outside. He will definitely protect Master Wuyou."
"Thank you..." Zhu Lang also stood up and bowed to Hu Weiyong and thanked him.
....................................................
Hu Weiyong left with a smile because Zhu Lang accepted his gift and accepted his guard. This means that Zhu Lang regarded him as his own person. You must know that Hu Weiyong might not know the importance of Zhu Lang in the past, but during this period, Hu Weiyong had known that Zhu Lang is the holy favor. No matter how much the price he paid, he must bring Zhu Lang behind him.
Today is a good opportunity and a good result.
Why did Zhu Lang get involved with Hu Weiyong? You should know that the Hu Weiyong case is one of the four major cases in the Ming Dynasty. More than 30,000 people died for him. But you should know that the Hu Weiyong case was still a long time before the six years of Hongwu. Now, Hu Weiyong has not yet become the right prime minister.
Li Shanchang was still there, but Li Shanchang was about to step down soon. At that time, Hu Weiyong would become the right prime minister. Hu Weiyong did not act rashly at the meeting. If Hu Weiyong had acted rashly at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang would be in a bad mind and would use him as the right prime minister. On the contrary, Hu Weiyong, who had just become the right prime minister, was very down-to-earth. He worked diligently and worked hard in the position of the right prime minister, so that Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already become the emperor at this time, saw the shining points on him. Four years later, he went further and became the left prime minister.
In other words, in the tenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong officially became the second-in-commander of the Ming Empire.
Moreover, Hu Weiyong was quite convinced by the Left Prime Minister. First, because Hu Weiyong's resume was really early, and in terms of qualifications, he was a hero in the world. In terms of work experience, decades of ups and downs in the officialdom have given Hu Weiyong very excellent government work handling capabilities.
He has the qualifications and the ability, so he has been in the position of the Left Prime Minister for many years.
More importantly, Hu Weiyong felt that Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him very much, and all officials also felt that the emperor favored the left prime minister very much.
But please remember that it is Hu Weiyong himself.
After staying honestly at the No. 2 position in the world for many years, Hu Weiyong began to reveal his nature... dictatorship.
This is his fatal mistake and his fatal weakness.
Although you are the prime minister and have great power, there is only one person in the world who can be dictatorial, that is, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
There are still many years left to Hu Weiyong's dictatorship. At least now, Hu Weiyong is down-to-earth and worthy of relying on. Zhu Lang does not want to be involved in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Lang is now unable to help.
The tea incident offended the Shanxi merchants, and the ice incident offended the Qin King. Zhu Lang was helpless now. He also needed to meet some people who could help him. Hu Weiyong was one of them. Some people said, why not meet Liu Bowen and ask Liu Bowen to help Zhu Lang?
But you have to know that Zhu Lang met people in the officialdom to protect himself and what he did to meet Liu Bowen. You want to leverage the Ming Dynasty, which belongs to Zhu Biao.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not trust Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen's biggest use now is to attack the nobles of Huaixi. Liu Bowen was too smart. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he could not hold him. Zhu Yuanzhang did not like things that he could not control.
Why did Zhu Yuanzhang be willing to use Hu Weiyong? Because Hu Weiyong can control it. When he feels hot, he will kill it directly. It is simple, convenient and clean...!
"Zhao Ling..."
Zhu Lang shouted to the outside world. After a while, Zhao Ling appeared at Zhu Lang's door. Zhu Lang put the jade pendant in his hand into Zhao Ling's hand and said, "Transfer all the conversation between me and Hu Weiyong today and give it to my third uncle. Let my third uncle submit it to His Majesty, and ask me to ask, can I make friends with Hu Weiyong?"
"Yes..." Zhao Ling bowed and left.
When Zhao Ling left, Shen Qingyi walked out and said, "Is it necessary to do this? What you said should be copied to Your Majesty?"
Zhu Lang nodded and smiled, "We need to be an open-minded person, so that we can be worthy of our hearts..." Zhu Lang actually wanted to tell Shen Qingyi that the current emperor is the most suspicious emperor in the entire history.
Did Yang Xian make great contributions? He was directly cracked by the car. Do you want to crack by the car? I don’t want to keep everything in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and show it to him directly. As long as he doesn’t do anything to rebel, Zhu Lang believes that with his own grandmother and father, he will definitely not have anything to do, but Zhu Lang now feels like a crisis.
Although he did not want to get involved in the Ming Dynasty court, the Ming Dynasty court had already come to him. Just like Hu Weiyong wanted to go to the Ministry of Works to help him this time, Hu Weiyong must have asked Zhu Yuanzhang about his opinion. It should be Zhu Yuanzhang's approval. Hu Weiyong came to find him. The things he made during this matter have become more and more popular with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang also trusted himself, and Zhu Lang was just worried. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to let him enter the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Oh... When he thought of this, Zhu Lang sighed because Zhu Lang really didn't want to enter the Ming Dynasty officialdom.
....................................
"Not bad...not bad..." In the Jinshen Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at all the conversations between himself and Hu Weiyong handed over to Zhu Lang. With a smile, he handed the conversation in his hand to Queen Ma and said: "Heaven and earth are upright and upright... We were originally going to leave Lang'er to Biao'er, but now we have some desires."
"Your Majesty wants it?" Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang nervously and said, "But Lang'er is too young. Nothing in the court is easy to deal with. And I know that Lang'er himself doesn't want to enter the court."
"Girl, we know, but we really need a person as upright as our son. We only have the people in our hearts and have no hiding from us. Go and see who is not ulterior motives. Even if Liu Bowen doesn't have a truth from us, but we are different. We are upright and have righteousness in our hearts. If he can become our arm, then we will be like a tiger with wings."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a slightly excited look, but Empress Ma frowned.
