Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 44 Main Hall!

Chapter 44 Main Hall!
The next day!

Before dawn.

"Su Guiyuan! Get up, get up quickly!"

"Su, please come out quickly..."

Early in the morning.

Su Xian, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up.

He was most annoyed when others disturbed him when they were sleeping. He was about to curse when he felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

At this time, Su Guiyuan, who had already gotten up in the morning, rushed towards the door.

Su Xian was about to remind.

But I saw that my father had already opened the door.

In an instant, a group of people rushed in...

"Su Guiyuan, I called you so many times, but you finally opened the door!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Are the gifts I gave you a few days ago still there? Get them here quickly! Don't tell me they're gone. It's better to be really gone. Don't let anyone know I've been here!"

"My dear brother, my dear brother, I didn't expect that you would always be like this. I thought that you escaped death in the Kongyin case and you should have attained enlightenment alone. But now it seems... In this officialdom, the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people are indispensable. ! If you’re not good enough, you can’t do anything!”

"I heard that you have been meeting with Prime Minister Hu in succession in the past few days, but in the end, you didn't even meet him...Brother Su, Brother Su, you are such a lump..."

A group of people came in and accused Su Guiyuan.

At first, Su Guiyuan didn't understand what was going on, but after hearing these words, even a fool would understand.

He came to his senses and pointed directly at a place and said, "They are all there, take them all away from me!"

After hearing this, several people quickly followed their gaze.

Su Xian had to get up from the bed... He had just walked out of the room.

But those people complained again: "Brother Su, considering that we were sworn brothers many years ago, you really shouldn't have done it this time. Even the Holy Spirit said that our nephew is a Qilin son, but you insist on finding it yourself." trouble!"

"Originally, I wanted to wait for you to host a banquet so that we could rekindle our old friendship, but now you don't want to show off anymore... Listen to what I said to my brother, if you really can't be an official, you should resign as soon as possible. If you offend Hu Xiang this time, in the future Are you living a good life in Zhongshu Province?"

Su Xian remembered that person.

Not long after the news of that day came from the court, he called out that he was his father's sworn brother, and a group of people came over to give him gifts.

Now it seems that the news that his father was in the Baochao Prosecution Department has been spread. These people may be frightened and have come to clear up the relationship.

Su Guiyuan obviously didn't want to pay attention to them.

"Take your things and leave them all!"

"Sigh... don't be angry. There's nothing we can do. We all have families and a future. If anyone wants to follow you, wouldn't that offend Hu Xiang?"

While talking, these people quickly took the gifts and gathered together again, seeming to be scolding...

Su Xian was also amused when seeing these people.

Wu Xiu stood in front of the main house, looked at the door, sighed quietly, but said nothing.

But Su Guiyuan obviously couldn't accept it and still stood there in a daze.

"I think this promotion banquet should be held or should it be held?"

Sudden.

Su Xian's voice sounded leisurely, and Su Guiyuan looked over in shock.

And many of these people who broke in had obviously heard it and were about to make some more sarcastic remarks.

Su Xian continued:

"The banquet that should be held... must be held, otherwise others will not know that we have been promoted!"

……

At the same time, Zhongshu Province.

Zhang Guance, a member of the Zhongshu family, had everything ready early in the morning.

He waited until Hu Xiangshang came back in the morning, then hurriedly entered the room.

But found out.

This time Hu Xiang was looking at the monkey with its feet tied, and he was in a daze.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates deserve to die. I never thought that Su Guiyuan really didn't know how to praise!"

Zhang Guance quickly lowered his head.

however.

The former was not angry.

"Of course there are stupid ways to treat stupid people. You have to suffer a little bit to know what he rejected. Just wait...and you have to make him regret it."

"After all, they are sent by the Holy Spirit. They must be given a chance to repent."

"However, if he comes to Zhongshu Province again today, you don't want to see him anymore. Wait for a while, and he will beg for mercy."

Zhang Guance took a breath.

After all, Prime Minister Hu was Prime Minister Hu. He was busy with everything, and he didn't take the eighth-rank official at all.

As long as you don't blame him.

"Also, has the approval letter been sent?"

Zhang Guance said quickly: "Return to the Prime Minister. He went up a few days ago. According to the Holy Master's usual speed, it should be issued today."

"Well, that's fine. In this way, we can also let him know what he missed. From now on, let the other deputy to take charge of the Baochao promotion department."

"Yes..." Zhang Guance quickly agreed and was about to continue saying something.

Sudden.

There were hurried footsteps behind him.

"Hu Xiang?"

Zhang Guance seemed very surprised when he saw the other party and couldn't help frowning.

When Hu Weiyong heard the sound, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty wants you to go to Wenhua Hall quickly?"

Ok?
Suddenly.

Hu Weiyong turned around suddenly.

He now looks to be in his fifties, with a short beard and some wrinkles on his face. The prime minister's appearance is also very peaceful, his eyes are calm, and he does not have the strong and domineering feeling as rumored in the officialdom. Instead, he was confident and calm. When he heard the report, he was just a little dumbfounded.

after all……

Since Liu Bowen's death, the Holy Father rarely summoned him alone unless it was an important matter of the state.

"Who else?"

"Just... you are the only one..." "Ha!" Hu Weiyong rubbed his palms gently, rubbed them carefully, and then looked behind him at the macaque with his feet tied.

"It's quite interesting..."

"undress!"

……

Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned ministers to discuss state affairs.

In contrast, the court meeting at Fengtian Palace is sometimes more like a visit between the monarch and his ministers, full of ritual.

Really important events usually take place here, where the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty convenes his ministers for discussion.

Today, only one person was summoned.

When Hu Weiyong arrived, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang was already waiting for him.

He quickly lifted up his clothes and was about to pay his respects.

"Okay, you don't have to do this to us. In the past few years, we have left most of the state affairs to you. I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become thin again..."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said so.

But Hu Weiyong immediately knelt down. His movements were so standard that even if an official from the Ministry of Rites came here, he probably wouldn't be able to make any mistakes.

"I am terrified, and I work hard every day, fearing that I will betray the grace of the Holy One!"

"Haha...what you said is getting more and more outrageous."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed twice and seemed very kind.

"I called you here today because of this year's printing and issuance of banknotes. We have seen the thing you handed over. It's a coincidence. Logically speaking, it should have arrived a few days ago. Why did we only see it last night? "

Hu Weiyong did not stand up, but replied quickly: "Reporting to the Holy Sage, you have been busy printing cases in the past few days, so maybe you didn't pay attention."

"Oh, is this our negligence?"

"It's my fault. I should remind the Holy One appropriately."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Forget it, we won't bend the rules with you. These five million treasure banknotes need to be printed quickly. In addition, the aftermath of this empty seal case has been resolved. The Ministry of Revenue said the accounting losses..."

Hu Weiyong quickly said: "Your Majesty, the calculated loss is 1.2 million yuan?"

"So much? Let's go back and do some calculations ourselves. Shouldn't seven or eight hundred thousand be enough? Then let each locality take responsibility. We think half a million will be enough." Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

Hu Weiyong lowered his head and said, "Replying to Your Majesty, I still have the officials' salary last year, and the salary of some soldiers in the local guards should also be supplemented... Cao Guogong wrote again, saying that Yuan soldiers invaded the border again... and there is an urgent need to provide compensation to the soldiers."

These military and national events made Zhu Yuanzhang frown.

"It seems like it was the same time in Hongwu's fifth year. The beating was so frustrating."

"Who is the most victorious general in this world? Wei Guogong has fought well enough, but unfortunately the grassland is vast, and Yuan soldiers retreating into it will be like fishes entering the sea. It is really troublesome to only attack without facing a head-on battle..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "We will talk about these things later... But the money must be printed and distributed, so we will add two million yuan to try to give the soldiers better food and better clothes. We will make another Northern Expedition in the future." Be successful!”

Hu Weiyong nodded quickly, "With the Holy Master's plan, we will definitely be able to defeat Bei Yuan in one fell swoop. What's more, it has been five years since the last Northern Expedition, and the officers and soldiers in the army are also waiting impatiently."

"Haha... they are all our good boys!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and then thought of something and said: "Then we will issue 5 million guan officially, and another 2 million guan privately, for a total of 7 million guan! That's more! It’s always good to print points.”

"According to the order!" Hu Weiyong nodded immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang casually added two million yuan. Having a treasure banker to raise the official certificate was a grand gesture, and both of them took it for granted.

"Okay, we've finished discussing the official business, let's get up!"

Hu Weiyong then stood up.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he said: "A few days ago, we sent someone to the treasure bank transfer department. How did you use it? Isn't it very honest?"

Hu Weiyong smiled and nodded, "That's honest enough."

"Well, we need people like this in our Baochao Office. They won't mess around. It's great to be obedient..." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.

"But Your Majesty... I'm afraid he's too well-behaved." Hu Weiyong hesitated before finally speaking.

"Oh? Tell me..." Zhu Yuanzhang seemed completely unaware of what happened in Zhongshu Province during these days.

Hu Weiyong told everything immediately without any concealment.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "We have to make him suffer, but we have also come into contact with Su Guiyuan on the Kongyin case, so it is really his obsession to let his kid go to Guozixue. .”

"Then tell me, will he go to Zhongshu Province to find you?"

"I don't know..." Hu Weiyong answered truthfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, was stroking his chin, as if he were an acquaintance chatting.

"Alas! Speaking of this kid, we have another headache. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have caused all these troubles. We have incurred so much loss for no reason."

"We don't know how to make up for it now!"

"And our eldest grandson..." Speaking of Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Yuanzhang was all smiles again.

"This child has never been out to see the world. He stays in the palace all day long. It's so cold. When he meets a child of the same age as him who doesn't have the scruples of the palace, he really talks about it all day long. He talks about it all day long...it makes us talk about it. Headache."

"He didn't even go to the main hall where the prince and grandson go. Alas, he insists on going to the Imperial College with him. How old is he? Isn't this nonsense?"

"We have not dared to go back to Kunning Palace these days, just for fear of encountering him talking about it again. We are really scared."

Hu Weiyong also smiled, while his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there is probably only one person who can make this domineering and iron-blooded Majesty show such helplessness while enjoying it at the same time.

"The emperor's grandson is very talented and can understand the truth." Hu Weiyong also chatted casually.

"That's right, that's what we mean too."

Zhu Yuanzhang simply walked down from the throne as he spoke.

There is absolutely no majesty of the Ming Dynasty monarch.

Finally, he simply came to Hu Weiyong.

"I heard that boy can't go to the Imperial College?"

Hu Weiyong lowered his head, "He is too young, so we should wait and practice."

"Yes, yes, you are right, you need to practice and practice..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, and then looked at Hu Weiyong like this.

Condescending.

Suddenly, abruptly.

A voice blurted out.
