Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 429 Falling into the River is Common

The brothers had dinner and chatted for a long time before returning to the palace. Father is kind and son is filial.Even Zhu Biao was very happy in his heart.

In the evening of July, the coolness was blowing, the window of the bedroom was opened, Xu Miaowei brushed her wind-torn hair, and listened to Zhu Biao talking about how their brothers had dinner with Lao Zhu today.

"Miaowei, you don't know, this time I want to hand over the matter of Huguang to Han Yike, who knows that they want to train, and they all say let me go, so the father agreed to the three of us to go together... "

"Why...why are you so enthusiastic this time?"

"Who knows, maybe they also want to go out and have a look, the palace is boring..."

"But Chen Qie feels a little bit wrong in her heart."

This feeling of inappropriateness is very strange, obviously everything is normal, but after hearing what Zhu Biao said, she felt that something was wrong.

Normally, if this kind of thing is done well, it can show off, how could it become a...

She shook her head, maybe she was thinking too much, she continued to place her hands near Zhu Biao's temples, rubbing them gently.

"Your technique is getting better and better, even better than that of a court lady." Zhu Biao thought in his heart, and admired on his lips.

"Did you study it on purpose?"

"No."

Xu Miaowei denied it bluntly, so she would not say that she used Jin'er as an experiment every day and learned all kinds of massage techniques.

"Go to sleep, we will leave for the Huguang area in the future." Zhu Biao got up, and went to Huguang if he went to Huguang. There were fewer things this month, and it was basically Lao Zhu's choice.

The Wenhua Hall is brightly lit tonight, this is the place Zhu Biao specially reserved for them, and Han Yike singled out the land books of Jingzhou Mansion.

Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting checked the records from the second year of Hongwu to the third year of Hongwu.Dao Tong and Han Yike checked the records from the fourth year of Hongwu to the fifth year of Hongwu.He Qing copied out every reason in detail.

In a theater building by the Qinhuai River, the sound of singing could be heard. Hu Weiyong sat disheveled on the steps opposite, and waited until there was no one on the street before entering an inconspicuous alley in the theater building.

In the basement, the candles were dimly lit, the hands were beating rhythmically on the table, and there was half a cat beside it.
Hu Wei stared at the man in the black cloak, trying to see who it was, but was so frightened by the voice that he immediately lowered his head.

"Hu Shenzhi." The man's voice was hoarse, and his face was like bark.

"The prince will go to Huguang in the future. If he comes back, your people's food tax exemption rights will be withdrawn..."

Hu Weiyong frowned: "His Royal Highness really wants to do this?"

The bark face nodded: "Yes, our Highness wants to know what Hu Shenzhi thinks, don't you want this preferential exemption from grain tax?"

What do I think, I want the privilege of exemption, I want to get promoted and get rich and kill my wife, but this can't be realized.

Hu Weiyong naturally wouldn't say that. Under the black cloak was the prince of Daming, but he didn't know which one.

Now that he is in the dark, he will never ask for trouble to reveal his heart.

Hu Weiyong did not speak.

"The prince will go by land, but when he comes back, we will find a way to let him take the Yangtze River waterway, and let him sink directly to the bottom of the river."

"Falling into the water!" Hu Weiyong pondered, "This is a capital crime."

"Hehe, it's no wonder the crown prince doesn't recommend you to be the prime minister. With such courage, how can you make such a big deal!"

Not becoming a prime minister has always been a thorn in Hu Weiyong's heart, and even Prime Minister Li alienated himself inexplicably.

All this must have been caused by the prince.

"There are guards around the prince. Those are not ordinary people. How can we let him fall into the water. If His Majesty finds out, it will be a capital offense."

When Hu Weiyong thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt very apprehensive.

"Hu Weiyong? Are you hesitating? Now you are in the same boat as us. If you don't do well, you will lose your life."

Seeing these two people, each time they were mysterious to him, Hu Weiyong said: "Both of them refuse to see me with their true colors, how can Hu believe it?"

"Oh, if you don't do it, then I will send your son to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Bark-face said: "Huguang has friends you know, you provoke the hatred of Huguang officials and borrow their hands.

When the crown prince had an accident, His Majesty was the first to vent his anger on the Huguang area.When it is done, our Highness will tell you. "

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong became even more confused: "At that time, the privilege of immunity was for His Majesty to appease the officials. If His Majesty disagreed, the privilege of immunity would still exist."

The bark face smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already supported the prince."

Hu Weiyong said irritably: "Then what if it doesn't work if you fall into the water?"

"If you fall into the water, the Huguang officials are afraid of being investigated and retaliated. What does it have to do with us? You, Hu Weiyong, don't have the most evil ideas. If you can't die, you will take slow medicine. No one knows it, just let nature take its course."

"But there is still a little grandson." Hu Weiyong questioned.

"It's just a child, died of illness early, you don't need to do this."

The bark face was silent for a while, then walked up to Hu Weiyong, lowered his voice and said, "Whether this matter in Huguang will succeed or not depends on whether you have the guts to know Hu Canzhi."

It's hard to attack on land, and the prince can easily escape, so it's hard to say on the river, so choose a better place.

"Choose it on the way back to Beijing. In this way, the prince died due to the revenge of Huguang officials. I firmly believe it."

Their plan is really bold, they dare to attack the prince, but this proposal is really exciting and interesting.

"The large ship base of Longjiang Shipyard is very strong."

The bark face made a gesture: "Is there gunpowder strong? For example..."

Hu Weiyong's eyes widened: "Use gunpowder to explode?"

Bark-face nodded: "Exactly, you and the prefect of Jingzhou Prefecture are like brothers. You were most familiar with the area along the river back then. The Ming Dynasty couldn't find another person."

Looking at Hu Weiyong, the bark-faced eyes flashed with insidiousness, the hatred of the prime minister, the murder case in his son's hands, the connections in Huguang...

"The opportunity is once in a thousand years. I didn't find the opportunity a few times ago, so I can't miss it this time. My Highness will definitely use you again after the work is done." After the bark face finished speaking, he signaled Hu Weiyong to leave.

Hu Weiyong nodded, the prince died on the waterway in Huguang, which had nothing to do with him.In this way, no one will claim the preferential rights, and the son's secret operation of those properties will not be affected.

His dream of becoming a prime minister can also become a reality.A few lives in the well can help his son cover it up.

When Hu Weiyong left, Barkface walked up to the black cloak and said, "Your Majesty, this will happen."

"You old Taoist priest, you are really full of bad water. This king saw you right."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment." The tree bark smiled.

"When the matter of Huguang is completed, this king will go to meet Hu Weiyong, otherwise this fox will be unsteady."

"What the lord said is."

Barkface cut the duck again and handed it to the person next to him.

"I am no less capable than my elder brother. They are willing, but this king is not."

The bark face next to him looked at the person beating on the table, and nodded: "I swear to follow the prince."

"There are still some days when we have time to arrange. The gunpowder is buried in the outskirts of the city. You go and take it out."

When Bark Face heard it, he nodded secretly in his heart.

It is not unreasonable for the prince to choose Hu Weiyong.

Not long after, Barkface also left.

　Ask for a monthly pass.
