Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 188
In Zuo Xiangfu, in Hu Weiyong's study room, several figures were discussing matters in the room.

"Enxiang, my disciples believe that most of the affairs of the court, big or small, are under our control."

"The young people in the cabinet have little talent and learning, and now His Majesty is holding a wait-and-see attitude. Without His Majesty's support, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot support himself."

"Why don't we retreat and hand over these key points in the north to the cabinet?"

"Firstly, we can transfer the few cadres and officials in the cabinet away from the center. Secondly, hehe."

"How do those children know how to govern? As long as they make some troubles, His Majesty will be furious."

"At that time, I, the Ministry of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, will ban the cabinet, and it will be smooth sailing."

An official cupped his fists at Hu Weiyong.This person has a Chinese character face, is eight feet tall, and has a neat face.Anyone who reads it will have to praise him as a good official, and no one will think that this person is a treacherous villain.

But at this time, his back was slightly bent, and he was extremely humble in front of the short Hu Weiyong, even Nuyan claimed to be his disciple, but the others didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Guo Shilang, what do you mean, you want us to let go of a few positions as chief envoys in northern Xinjiang?" Hu Weiyong sat on the head and twirled his beard lightly.

"Well, it's a good way. If you want to take it, you must first give it."

"Use a few of their northern Xinjiang chief envoys, and then block their money and food later..."

Hu Weiyong smiled sinisterly.The gathering of these people here is to distribute the eight newly released positions of chief envoys in the DPRK.

Since Zhu Su's showdown with Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu has either changed or banned many ills and old laws.Such as tax package system, road introduction system and so on.The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, so it is natural to send several new envoys to spread good governance.

Hu Weiyong's party is now overwhelming the cabinet party in the court, and it is natural to win the eight chief minister positions.

"It's just that Beiyuan is still ready to move. If we do this, will it cause the corruption of my Great Ming's northern border..." someone raised an objection.

"It is precisely because of Bei Yuan's stupid move that we can do this." Before Hu Weiyong could speak, the servant surnamed Guo stood up and explained.

"It's already difficult to be a chief minister in the north, and with the occasional invasion of the south by a small group of Northern Yuan troops, isn't it even more difficult to do the job of a chief minister?"

"Such difficult things should be handed over to the people in the cabinet. Could it be that we are still taught to do it ourselves?"

"If the north is corrupt, it's the cabinet and the crown prince's fault. For us, it's just the right thing to do to make things right out of the fire."

"It should be noted that our plan is not in the north, but in the court!"

"Guo Shilang's words are very kind." Hu Weiyong applauded. "Bei Yuan is nothing to worry about. If we can expel the cabinet, we have Marquis of Ji'an, Marquis of Yan'an and other strong generals around. Are we afraid that we won't be able to defeat Bei Yuan?"

"Hmph, it would be better if Bei Yuan called!" Marquis of Ji'an Lu Zhongheng stood up.

"Bei Yuan should be allowed to wreak havoc, so if we can pacify Bei Yuan, why don't we worry about getting a duke?"

In the study, some people frowned secretly, but more people looked indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

"The Marquis of Ji'an is brave and invincible, isn't the Duke just looking for something?" Hu Weiyong said with a smile. "Your Majesty has such good generals but doesn't use them. No wonder the Northern Expedition failed and returned."

"Since this is the case, let's follow Guo Shilang's plan. After the list of chief envoys is drafted, you will follow the list, and the official department can also write according to it."

He waved his hand lightly, and with a single word, he confirmed his position in the court, and all the officials under him didn't think there was anything wrong, so they all bowed their heads and agreed.

"Guo Shilang is also a good planner! Judging from the facts, a minister of the household department will not be able to escape in the future." Hu Weiyong promised casually.

The servant surnamed Guo was overjoyed and knelt down on the spot to bow down to Hu Weiyong: "Huan, thank you for your kindness!"

"Enxiang is really Huanzhi's reborn parents!"

Speaking of which, Guo Shilang is not a few years younger than Hu Weiyong, and as soon as he uttered such disgusting and nasty words, some of the other officials showed contempt.

However, Hu Weiyong felt that it was extremely useful, and the feeling of power in his hands made him extremely intoxicated.The wrinkles on Guo Shilang's face when he helped him up, he laughed so hard that a fly could be killed.

……

"Hu Xiang, after this success, you will be in control of the government and the public. Congratulations to Hu Xiang." After everyone left the study, Hu Weiyong's confidant Tu Cheng poured a bowl of tea for Hu Weiyong.

"It's just that there is still a hidden danger. The Fifth Highness... doesn't seem to like me very much."

"Earlier, I even used the pretext of performing martial arts to drive away all the disciples I sent over there."

"In my opinion, this son is still a hidden danger after all."

Hu Weiyong took a sip of tea pretendingly. "That Highness doesn't want to see me, how can I not know?"

"It's just to use each other. He wants to use us to seize power in the hands of the prince, and we want to use his name to protect those officials who cannot be accommodated by the cabinet."

"It's ridiculous that the crown prince and the cabinet don't know anything about it after all. They don't know the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish. What kind of 'Jingcha' is created, so that those officials who have ghosts in their hearts can only seek shelter from me..."

After belittling his old opponent the cabinet for a while, he turned the topic to Zhu Su again.

"However, that His Highness's name is still useful. In my opinion, His Majesty will definitely issue an order to marry the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei soon."

"Wei Guogong Xu Da is highly respected in the army. This person is arrogant, but he is also from Huaixi but he is unwilling to help us."

"It will be of great benefit to us if we can win him over because of the relationship with the Fifth Highness."

"But..." The painted face was worried. "In my opinion, although Xu Da is a martial artist, he is very upright."

"That's okay." Hu Weiyong said.

"I've bought the concierge of Xu's family, if he still doesn't know how to flatter him, then..." He made a downward chop gesture with his vertical palm.

Paint it white on your face.This Hu Weiyong is too courageous, he actually wants to assassinate the Duke?
"If Xu Da dies, there will be no hindrance for me to take over the power in the army. The Fifth Highness will be useless." Hu Weiyong did not notice the astonishment on Tu Cheng's face, and said with his usual expression.

"At that time, when I have full wings, I don't need to look at his face anymore. With some small tricks, I can take care of that scorpion."

"His golden methods can be taken away to make a fortune..."

The corners of his mouth turned up, and the previous experience of advancing to the left but being emptied made him understand that power cannot be given by others, but must be firmly in his own hands.

Now that he is trying his best to gain power again, he can no longer tolerate the possibility of being seized power in the future.

Only by standing at the pinnacle of power can one obtain power that will never be taken away.

"Before the Zhu family made a fortune, they were not just ordinary people. He can do it, why can't I, Hu Weiyong." Hu Weiyong thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking about the sweetness of power, he suddenly heard a panicked voice from outside:

"Master, master, it's not good!"

"The Marquis of Yongjia sent people to ask for help, saying that their Marquis of Yongjia was surrounded by a group of soldiers for some reason!"
