A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 53 Auspicious?Lao Li, let me give you a hand

Finally, when that incident happened, Hu Weiyong's disobedience was completely aroused.

"What did you say? Say it again?" A low shout suddenly came from a secret room in the Prime Minister's residence.

There were only three people in the room at this time, one was Hu Weiyong, one was his son, and there was a middle-aged man dressed as a rich country man. He was a distant relative of Hu Weiyong in his hometown in Dingyuan.

"Prime Minister, everything this little man said is true." Seeing that Hu Weiyong didn't believe it, the middle-aged man immediately knelt down on the ground, pointed his finger to the sky, and swore: "How dare you talk nonsense about such a big matter? The one in front of your door In the well, stalagmites suddenly appeared overnight, several feet high."

"Not only that, every night, a blazing flame will light up on your ancestral grave, lighting up most of the night sky. This is an auspicious sign!"

"I and other villagers said that this is because the Prime Minister is extremely rich and noble, and that's why he has such a look. I think good things will happen to the Prime Minister in the near future."

The statement was conclusive and did not look like a lie. Hu Weiyong had already believed it, not to mention his son Hu Yunliang, who had long been convinced of the matter.

"Father!" Before Hu Weiyong could speak, Hu Yunliang had already shouted, his eyes full of fanaticism.

Hu Weiyong gestured to him, and then waved his hand: "Step back, and go to the housekeeper to receive the reward yourself."

After the middle-aged man left happily, Hu Yunliang immediately said with surprise:
"Father, this is a good omen! Legend has it that on the day your majesty was born, the whole room was filled with red light, and purple energy came from the sky into the belly of Empress Chun (Chen's mother, Zhu Yuanzhang's mother), and your majesty ruled the world. Today we have the tomb of our ancestors There is also a strange sign. Could it be that I, the Hu family, have to inherit the fate of heaven..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Hu Weiyong interrupted him and glared at him.But the tone was soft and not intimidating at all. It was obvious that this was not what he had in mind.

Hu Yunliang knew his father well. He continued:

"Father, now that you are the head of hundreds of officials and in charge of Zhongshu, His Majesty is very afraid of you. Who in the world is your opponent? Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Yan Ling is already a withered bone in the grave, and the imperial censor is yours Confidants, Prime Minister You and Prime Minister Zhongshu are leading troops outside again, who..."

"Stop talking!" Hu Weiyong suddenly raised his voice, scaring Hu Yunliang to stop talking.

But when he saw the naked ambition in his father's eyes, he smiled, knowing that his father was tempted.

Hu Weiyong tapped the armrest with his fingers, and thousands of thoughts passed through his mind.

It's not that he is so superstitious, a so-called auspicious sign can make him instantly confused.

It is true that Zhu Yuanzhang has been too indulgent to him over the years. In the years since he became prime minister, there is nothing he has not done!The assassination of Xu Da, the poisoning of Liu Ji, the interception of memorials, the self-determination of life and death, and the acceptance of countless bribes would have made any official dead.

But he survived, but he lived well.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be unaware of all this.

He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of his power, so he could only tolerate him temporarily.

The appearance of auspiciousness is the last straw.

I am the son of destiny!All these things came together in his mind, and this idea came into being, and it became increasingly uncontrollable.

"Yunliang." He suddenly said, "Send someone to notify the Japanese country and ask them to mobilize hundreds of elite warriors to sneak in during the next tribute."

"In addition, isn't that guy Feng Ji an old official of the Yuan Dynasty? Let him contact Can Yuan's heir and ask the Yuan army for foreign aid. Tell them that after the matter is completed, I will share the world equally with them."

Hu Yunliang's face instantly flashed with joy. He was already imagining his life after becoming a prince or even an emperor.

"Okay!" He promised loudly.

This was the beginning of the biggest rebellion case in the early Ming Dynasty.

If the middle-aged man and the other people who made this up knew what the father and son were thinking, I don't know what they would think.How pitiful, they just wanted to flatter me! ——
Mingzhou Prefecture was the place with the most frequent exchanges with the Japanese state. At the same time, the commander Lin Xian was also a member of Hu Weiyong's party.

Tongwa naturally wants to find him.

However, what the Hus and his son did not know was that Lin Xian, the commander of the Mingzhou Guard, was Hu Weiyong's subordinate. This was true.

But he also has an extremely close relationship with the Yan family in Mingzhou. After all, the other party is the largest wealthy family here. Furthermore, he has become involved with Yan Ling.

It turns out that at this time in history, he was already Hu Weiyong's best friend, so he naturally followed orders wholeheartedly.

But now...

Let's put it this way, in the case of rebellion, winning is a matter of following the dragon, but if I report you, it will be the same great achievement, and there is no risk at all.

So not only did he not send someone to contact Japan as ordered, but after pretending to be obedient and sending the messenger away, he immediately reported the matter to Yan Ling.

When Yan Ling heard about this, he smiled.

Hu Weiyong, can you finally bear it?

However, in political struggles, one kills with one strike. Hu Weiyong's crime has not yet reached His Majesty's expectations, and his involvement in the Japanese invasion is not enough to kill him.

Only by treason.

Have to wait for another opportunity.

In fact, this matter has little to do with Yan Ling, after all, Hu Weiyong doesn't bother him much now.

However, the Hu Weiyong case implicated a very important figure to Yan Ling-Li Shanchang.

Li Shan looks gentle and generous, but he is actually narrow-minded, retaliating and harsh towards others.This was also an important reason why he was later overthrown by everyone, and even his servants were insulted. This also led to the emperor's disgust.

But he was very kind to Yan Ling.When he first joined the Red Scarf Army, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have many followers. The two taught and studied government affairs, and later worked together. Li Shanchang admired Yan Ling's vision and management ability, and Yan Ling was comparable to this person. Xiao He's important ministers in the early Ming Dynasty had a very good impression, and the two developed a very deep relationship.If Yan Ling's son hadn't been born late, the two parties wouldn't have been able to be a son-and-daughter family.

Yan Ling couldn't help but watch him being implicated.

Li Shanchang's matter is actually very simple. As long as he doesn't conceal the fact of Hu Weiyong's rebellion like in the original history, he will not be implicated at all, and he may even have merit.

Although when it comes to Sapphire, as long as you have the iron ticket of the Alchemy Book in your hand, you can't even think about living, but how long will the Sapphire case last? 13 years. With Li Shan's body, if he can still live for 13 years, go ahead and have fun.

And all of this is just a piece of cake for Yan Ling.

He decided to give Li Shan a helping hand.

More importantly, bringing back an important part of the noble group will also be beneficial to the future confrontation between civil servants and military generals.

After all, it was the imbalance of power between nobles and nobles that led to the rise of civil servants, and even the situation in the pre-Song Dynasty that favored civility and suppressed military power.Although there is a reason why a certain emperor lost all his honors in one battle, among the six Dukes, 28 Hous and Erbos of the Taizu Dynasty, only one Duke, two Hous and one Bo made it out of the finals. This may not be an important reason...

That night, a figure quietly left the back door of the Yue Kingdom Mansion.

Going all the way west to Dingyuan, Li Shanchang's hometown of Haozhou, he brought a message from the Duke of Yue to the Duke of South Korea.

　I asked why I couldn't find the biography of Hu Weiyong after searching for a long time. It was co-authored in "The Traitor's Biography"...
