Chapter 137: Even If He Is The Emperor, He Cannot Catch Me By Surprise [Please Subscribe, Please Sub
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, after Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes left Yan Changqing, the people sent by Hu Weiyong to inquire finally received news.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were in charge of Jin Yiwei's trip and kept it completely confidential along the way, normally it would be impossible for ordinary people to know the whereabouts of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.
But it happened that Hu Weiyong was not an ordinary person. He was the prime minister of the current dynasty, the head of hundreds of civil and military officials, and his own power and status could be said to be lower than that of one person and higher than that of ten thousand people.
In addition, during the years when he became prime minister, Hu Weiyong has been placing his cronies in various departments of the imperial court and excluding dissidents.
Nowadays, it can be said that most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are related to him, and there are people from him in various imperial departments.
Whatever news he wanted to know, no one from the six ministries of the imperial court to the Yingtian government office would hide it from him.
Therefore, although he could not directly know the whereabouts of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, he could determine the whereabouts of Zhu Yuanzhang and the others by making insinuations and investigating one by one.
For example, he only needs to investigate and determine whether there are any places in the west of the city today where a majestic old man in his fifties appeared with a group of dignified young people in their teens and twenties.
After all, Yingtianfu Yamen is so big and there are so many people. If you walk on the street, it is impossible to completely hide your traces.
In addition, the characteristics of Zhu Yuanzhang and others are so obvious, as long as a caring person asks and investigates, it is easy to know whether Zhu Yuanzhang and others have ever appeared on the streets in the west of the city.
Similarly, if Zhu Yuanzhang and the others do not appear on 17th Street in the west of the city, then they only need to investigate and determine whether there are any places in the west of the city that have suddenly become extremely guarded today, and no one is even allowed to pass or pass by, etc.
After all, as the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to ensure Zhu Yuanzhang's safety, the Jin Yiwei will definitely do their best in vigilance.
Not to mention letting passers-by pass by or disturbing Zhu Yuanzhang, Jin Yiwei would not let even the news of a mosquito inside spread out.
For Hu Weiyong, sometimes there is no news, which is also a kind of news.
A place where he could not even investigate any information, then that place must be where Zhu Yuanzhang is!!!
In this way, the whereabouts of Zhu Yuanzhang can be determined in this way?!
So through this method, Hu Weiyong quickly locked the residence of Yan Changqing.
Because today, in the west of Yingtianfu City, only the area where Yan Changqing is located is the area where his School Disciple cannot find any information.
The one who could do such a thing was obviously Jin Yiwei's handiwork.
And where the Jin Yiwei is, it is obviously where Zhu Yuanzhang went today.
So the final report presented to Hu Weiyong was:
[Today, in Changle Square in the west of Yingtianfu City, some people saw a fleet of noble and luxurious carriages entering and leaving at the same time. The specific events that happened in the middle are unknown, and merchants and people passing by were not allowed to enter.[
"West of the city, Changlefang..."
Hu Weiyong narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his index finger on the table, and murmured to himself.
If his guess is correct, I am afraid that half a month ago the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang announced that King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan, and King Zhu Ji of Zhou would all supervise the country and assist the government. This is the reason for the power of the false prince. .
After all, half a month ago, it was the same as usual inside the palace and above the court, and nothing special happened.
And if nothing special happened, then it would be impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to announce for no reason that other princes would supervise the country and assist the government and pretend to be the prince.
Therefore, if the special thing did not happen inside the palace or the court, then there was something special that he didn't know about and related to Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes happened outside the palace and the court.
In Hu Weiyong's view, the place outside the palace and court was probably Changlefang in the west of the city.
Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong immediately looked at the housekeeper in front of him and said:
"Go to Yingtianfu Yajiang City West Changlefang again and find out all the news and information for the last month, no, the last six months!!!"
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper immediately responded respectfully, then turned around and went to Yingtianfu Yamen to collect information about Changlefang in the past six months.
Faced with the order from Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the dynasty, Ying Tianfu Yamen did not dare to shirk the order in the slightest after receiving it.
When he prepared and sorted out the information and materials of Changlefang in the past six months, he also went back with the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion along with a chief clerk in charge of these affairs in preparation for Hu Weiyong's inquiry.
Looking at the Changlefang information placed in front of him, Hu Weiyong frowned and looked at the chief secretary of Yingtian Mansion and asked:
"More than half a month ago, all the residents of Changlefang were moved out?!"
"Who asked for the move?!!"
The chief secretary of Yingtian Mansion respectfully replied:
"Back to Prime Minister, it was Jin Yiwei who asked me to move."
“At that time, people from Jinyiwei came to the government office and said that they wanted to change Changlefang into ten commercial houses of Jinyiwei.
"The other party held the imperial edict from the commander of the Imperial Guards, and also provided compensation in goods three times the market price. The residents of the original Changlefang did not complain, so Mr. Fuyi agreed to the relocation of the residents of Changlefang. thing.
Having said this, the chief clerk seemed to have remembered something and added:
"However, among the residents of the original Changlefang, there is one person who has not been moved out. He is a ninth-grade Hanlin bachelor, and his name seems to be Yan Changqing. 11
"Perhaps because of his status as a ninth-grade Hanlin scholar, the Jinyiwei people did not force him to move out together, and they still let him live in Changlefang to this day." 1
When Hu Weiyong heard what his residence record said, he almost immediately determined that this was called "Yan Changqing", and it was probably the key to everything!
Jin Yiwei was so arrogant and domineering that few of the civil and military officials in the court would give him face.
It is even more impossible for a mere ninth-grade Hanlin bachelor to let them give face!!!
Especially the matters that Jin Yiwei is responsible for are used to keep an eye on them, civil and military officials, and they are naturally at odds with them.
Even if the other party is only a ninth-grade Hanlin bachelor, he is still a member of the civil and military officials.
Whether it is for confidentiality or other considerations.
Within the scope of the Jinyiwei Baihu Institute, it is impossible to allow the existence of a ninth-grade Hanlin bachelor!!!
"Go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs and bring me all the information about Yan Changqing!!!"
Hu Weiyong immediately asked people to follow his Prime Minister's order and go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect information about Yan Changqing.
After all, since Yan Changqing can have the status of a ninth-grade Hanlin bachelor, he will definitely have a registration record with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Soon, the information about the time when Yan Changqing obtained the official position and the period of his tenure from the Ministry of Personnel, as well as the information about his past life experience from the Ministry of Husbandry, etc. were brought back to Hu Weiyong.
However, Yan Changqing's previous life experience was unremarkable when he became a Hanlin bachelor. After he later served as a doctor of arithmetic in the Imperial College, some of the deviant knowledge taught in the Imperial College did have a little bit of 403 meaning.
But later, he was expelled from the Imperial Academy by Jiu Jiu Kong Kebiao for teaching such deviant knowledge.
The last news record that can be traced back to Yan Changqing is that an attendant of the Imperial College saw from a distance that Yan Changqing happened to meet King Zhu Fang of Qin, King Zhu Gang of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan on the day he was expelled from the Imperial College. All the princes.
Later events such as Yan Changqing's squandering of 300,000 taels at a Great Shang trade fair were not recorded in the official channels, so the news that Hu Weiyong saw at this moment was not recorded.
"Yan Changqing?!!"
Hu Weiyong's fingertips slowly rubbed across the paper recording Yan Changqing's information, and a deep thought flashed in his eyes.
Although from the available information, Hu Weiyong could not see anything about Yan Changqing that could attract Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
But just the inconsistencies shown in the relevant information about Yan Changqing that he saw at this moment were enough for Hu Weiyong to test and confirm one or two things.
"Send someone who knows Yan Changqing to keep an eye on Changlefang twelve hours a day, trying to find a way to get in touch with him."
"Just tell him, talk to him about the truth, I want to give him a big fortune, see if he wants it!!!"
After thinking for a moment, Hu Weiyong looked at the housekeeper below and ordered calmly.
"Yes, sir!"
The butler immediately responded and went down to make arrangements again.
It wasn't until there was no one around him that Hu Weiyong looked down at Yan Changqing's information file and muttered to himself:
"Even if he is the emperor, he cannot be unexpected by me!!!"
