Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 659: There is knowledge underground
Hu Weiyong never expected that Boss Zhu would imprison them for ten days.

They were not left idle for ten days. They were asked to write a check every day, and each of them was given a clay pot.Order them to separate the red beans and mung beans mixed together...

There cannot be a mung bean within a red bean, and there cannot be a red bean within a mung bean.

According to Boss Zhu, this is to punish them for being careless and teach them to be careful and patient.

Definitely not teasing them...

~~
"I'm so annoyed!" On the third day after dividing the beans, everyone in Peng Geng was numb.Finally, he couldn't help but shouted angrily: "How can he be so careful and patient?!"

"So you don't practice enough." Shang Hao pursed his lips towards the couch beside him. "See what it means to be content."

Wang Guangyang is playing Go with Zhu Mengyan using beans.The former goes green first, the latter goes red last...

"It can't be compared, it can't be compared." Peng Geng smiled and lost his temper.

After a while, he whispered to Hu Weiyong who was picking up beans at the side: "En Xiang, how long does the emperor plan to imprison us?"

"Leave the prince and Prince Chu outside to finish checking our accounts." Hu Weiyong seemed to enjoy this simple and repetitive work, and he divided the grains one by one carefully.

"Scared." Peng Geng said with a shocked look on his face: "Check the accounts? Is this what the emperor means?"

"Probably not. The emperor wants to touch us, why bother with all this." Shang Hao said angrily: "This incident is enough for us to split up."

"That's true." Peng Geng said with a sigh of relief: "Then the prince persuaded the emperor to help."

"Eighty percent yes." Shang Hao said calmly: "Let them check. How will they know if we are good without checking..."

~~
Hu Weiyong and his second general, Heng Ha, were always very careful when talking and tried to speak in the center of the room.When it comes to important things, he deliberately coughs, sprinkles water and pulls up a chair to make noise to prevent people from eavesdropping next door.

But as the saying goes, the devil is as high as the Tao, and they only guard against walls that have ears.But I didn’t expect that there were ears under the floor...

This is the 'Underground Youzhi' all-weather monitoring system that Lao Si learned from Jinlianyuan's advanced technology and built it for his father.

The eavesdropper entered the underground room of the value room through a secret passage, and could clearly hear all the conversations in the house through a number of listening tubes placed under the floor tiles of the value room.I can even hear burping and farting clearly...

Then, the contents of the private conversation between the ministers waiting to meet the Holy Spirit reached Boss Zhu's ears.

Eavesdropping on information is the next step. The key is to create a sense of omnipotent oppression by the emperor and control his ministers to death.

By locking people up for so long this time, the eavesdropping effect must be much better than usual.

Eavesdropping records are continuously sent to Wuying Palace.Zhu Yuanzhang kept reading while he was busy with state affairs. He never tired of it and regarded it as a pastime.

"Oh, they are worried that we will attack them, but they are not worried that the prince will check their accounts." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the recent updates with interest and said to Eunuch Wu on the side:

"It seems that the boss will fail this time."

"Haha..." Eunuch Wu Xiaoyi said with a smile: "We don't understand it, and we don't dare to say it."

"Haha, you old guy." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Boss's side is almost done. You go and let him go."

"Here." Eunuch Wu quickly responded softly. Just as he was about to retreat, he heard the emperor say quietly again: "

"Also, give us a hint to Hu Weiyong and let him fight with the boys. We will not interfere anymore."

"Ah, how do you say this?" Eunuch Wu looked confused. "I want to go." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded: "There should be a limit to pretending to be stupid."

"This old slave is really not good at it." Eunuch Wu bowed and retreated in fear.

~~
The value of the room is reversed.

The door opened with a creak, and Eunuch Wu appeared with a smile: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Hu, Prime Minister Wang, and all your lords, you can go back."

"Oh..." In the room on duty, the senior officials couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"The emperor said there is no need to thank you. My lords, please go home quickly, take a shower and change your clothes." Eunuch Wu smiled again and said, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk to you tomorrow morning."

"I obey the order." Upon hearing this, Hu Weiyong led the crowd to kowtow to the emperor outside Wuying Gate to thank him. Then he stood up and thanked Eunuch Wu again.

Hu Xiang is full of emotional intelligence and impeccable in appearance, so it is difficult not to please his superiors.

"We will send Mr. Hu out of the palace." Eunuch Wu smiled and raised his hand, asking him to go first.

"Brother Wu, please." Hu Weiyong gave in, and the two finally walked side by side, with Eunuch Wu slightly behind.

The others knew that the two of them had something to say, so they all slowed down and distanced themselves.

"Isn't it difficult to endure these ten days?" Eunuch Wu asked softly with concern.

"That's right, everyone is rotten." Hu Weiyong said with a wry smile: "It's a profound lesson. But for setting such a big trap and only allowing us to reflect for ten days, it is already a great kindness from the emperor."

"Hahaha, the emperor likes Hu Xiang the most - he knows better than the emperor." Eunuch Wu said with a faint smile.

"I, Hu Weiyong, have little talent and little moral character. I have been the prime minister for so many years only because of the emperor's trust. How can I not do this?" Hu Weiyong's brows jumped slightly, and he understood that Eunuch Wu came with a mission.

"That's right. Don't think too much about it. The emperor still trusts you as always." Eunuch Wu lowered his voice and said: "Don't be burdened. This prime minister should do whatever he wants. Show the magnanimity of a prime minister in charge of the world. , never shrink back."

"Yes, yes." Hu Weiyong nodded repeatedly, his voice choked with emotion. "The emperor's kindness is as great as heaven's. It is impossible to repay the old minister even if he is shattered to pieces."

"Hey, how can you serve as the emperor's prime minister when your body is broken into pieces?" Eunuch Wu laughed and said: "The emperor has recognized your nonsense, what do you think we should do about this?"

"What else can I do? I'm so devastated." Hu Weiyong was shocked when he heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He turned around "uncontrollably" and kowtowed in the direction of Wuying Palace, crying uncontrollably:
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I no longer worry about slander, fear of ridicule, or shrink back. Just look at my performance!"

"I will never let you down!" Finally, he raised his voice and vowed loudly.

~~
Eunuch Wu watched Hu Weiyong and his entourage leave the palace before turning back.

Seeing that there was no one around him, the eunuch Yun Qicai beside him couldn't help but whispered: "Godfather, which song did the emperor sing this time?"

"We don't know." Eunuch Wu glared at him fiercely and scolded: "How many times have I told you, no matter how much I mutter in my heart, I have to treat myself as a mute!"

"Yes, yes." Yun Qi nodded quickly and said, "My son is acting stupid again."

"One more time, we will let you go to the ancestral mausoleum to accompany Emperor Xizu. Even if you guess every day, Emperor Xizu will not be angry." Eunuch Wu snorted coldly, which made Yun Qi tremble in fear.

After a while, he slowed down his tone and said calmly: "Don't you love raising cats? If you have time, go see how the mother cat trains the kittens to catch mice. It's better than just wondering here."

"Hey, my son has remembered it." Yun Qi understood instantly.
