Chapter 386 Hu Weiyong is finished
After a moment of relief, Zhu Yuanzhang finally regained his composure.
He rubbed his painful temples and suddenly thought of a question.
So, he immediately drafted a new edict, listing how Wang Guangyang protected Zhu Wenzheng in the past, and then allowed Yang Xian to do evil in Zhongshu Province.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, he gave Wang Guangyang death because he held a high position but did not know how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Instead, he secretly colluded with his cronies and valued personal gain over justice.
This explanation can be regarded as convincing to the public, and it is also equivalent to knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, reminding other courtiers who is the master of the Ming Dynasty.
The effect of this move was indeed outstanding. As soon as the news spread, everyone inside and outside the court was immediately shocked.
Some people originally relied on their high status and felt that even if they committed something, as long as it was not rebellion, the court was thinking of old friendships, and the emperor was thinking of reputation, nothing would be done to them.
But after Wang Guangyang's incident, everyone was clearly aware of a problem, that is, no matter how prominent their status was, the emperor could take their lives at any time as long as he was willing.
Prime Minister's Mansion, Flower Hall.
Tu Jie just got the news and hurried over to report the news to Hu Weiyong.
After listening to Tu Jie's words, Hu Weiyong's face turned extremely ugly.
17 He had always hoped that his status would be transcendent and that he would be on good terms with all the courtiers.
But now Wang Guangyang's death made him suddenly feel that all his previous preparations seemed not enough.
But at this moment, he couldn't think of any other means of protecting himself.
Sitting on the chair, Hu Weiyong looked like a wood carving and stone sculpture. He couldn't say a word for a long time.
Tu Jie saw this and asked tentatively: "Xiangguo?"
Hearing the call, Hu Weiyong came back to his senses and looked at Tu Jie with some dissatisfaction.
"What are you yelling about! I'm still alive! It's not like I'm dead!"
Tu Jie looked strange, but still responded softly, and then stepped aside.
Tu Jie is a villain at first, so he naturally knows how to assess the situation and figure out people's reactions.
This kind of person can serve you well on weekdays, but at critical moments, he can also use you as a stepping stone under his feet.
He came now, firstly to report the news, and secondly to test.
Hu Weiyong's performance obviously made him a little dissatisfied, and he secretly had other ideas in mind.
But at this moment, Hu Weiyong couldn't care less about this. All he was thinking about was how to consolidate his position or eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion.
Although Wang Guangyang's actual status is not as good as him, he is also a person with long sleeves and quick reactions.
Although Wang Guangyang has been claiming to be ill during this period, he has secretly made friends with many officials.
Moreover, no matter what the other party said, he was still Prime Minister Zuo, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even conduct an investigation and was killed directly.
Such behavior undoubtedly dispelled Hu Weiyong's luck.
At the same time, it also made Hu Weiyong understand that things like party members and friends may only help you when you are strong and successful. When your life is really at stake, no one will speak for you.
For a time, frustration and fear quickly filled Hu Weiyong's heart, making him unable to care about anyone else around him. "Soon he returned to a seemingly stagnant state.
Seeing Hu Weiyong like this, Tu Jie looked a little embarrassed, but in his heart he had already begun to figure out how to protect himself at the critical moment.
After a long silence, Hu Weiyong sighed and stood up from his seat.
"That's all, everyone will die eventually, and Prime Minister Wang has served his country loyally and died a worthy death!"
After saying this, whether to comfort himself or to comment on Wang Guangyang's words, Hu Weiyong rolled his sleeves, turned and walked out of the hall.
Before leaving the house, Hu Weiyong stopped and gave Tu Jie a meaningful look.
The look in his eyes made Tu Jie a little panicked, and he quickly lowered his head.
"You should go back for now. Don't walk around randomly these days, and don't cause any trouble!"
A reminder made Tu Jie confused, but he could only agree.
When he left Hu Weiyong's prime minister's house, Tu Jie's expression was full of disdain.
Obviously Hu Weiyong's reaction had disappointed him.
Korean government mansion, study room.
Li Shanchang was originally holding a book and reading it with great concentration.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and then his son Li Qi hurriedly broke into the house.
"Dad, Wang Guangyang was sentenced to death by His Majesty!"
With just this sentence, Li Shanchang shivered and the book fell directly to the ground.
He was stunned for a while, then came to his senses and quickly asked his son.
"Do you know what the crime is?"
Li Qi hurriedly read Zhu Yuanzhang's edict to Li Shanchang word for word.
After listening to Li Qi's narration, Li Shanchang looked solemn. After a while, he sighed quietly and sat back down, his expression already a little more lonely.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Li Qi's expression was full of worry, but he still didn't understand why Li Shanchang had such a big reaction.
The reason why he rushed to report the news was simply because of Wang Guangyang's respected status, and this was also the first time in recent years that the emperor had killed a courtier in such a weird way.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would charge the crime with murder, and then hand it over to the Three Justices Division for investigation, and then convict him.
At the worst possible outcome, Jin Yiwei will be ordered to make the evidence available to the public.
But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear that he didn't care what others thought, which made young Li Qi realize something was unusual.
But he still couldn't understand why his father had such a big reaction.
After a brief silence, Li Shan sighed and said: "You brothers, go and resign tomorrow morning, and then follow me back to my hometown on the grounds that I am old and frail and need care!"
Li Qi was startled and didn't understand why Li Shanchang made this decision.
But before he had time to speak, Li Shanchang had already given the answer.
"Liu Bowen died of illness in front of him. Less than a day later, His Majesty killed Wang Guangyang. I am afraid that a storm will inevitably happen in the court. I have a bright future, wealth and so on, and I can fight again in the future, but if my life is gone, there is nothing. !"
When Li Qi heard this, he immediately reacted and his face instantly became a little flustered.
For a time, all the officials with some status in the entire court were secretly worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's will.
Some people want to resign to avoid disaster, while others secretly recall whether they have made any mistakes in recent years.
However, some people are speculating whether Zhu Yuanzhang has other actions. After all, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's character, killing only one Wang Guangyang is really anticlimactic.
But no matter what everyone thinks, there is a consensus, that is, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad and worried.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
At least at this moment, Ye Xuan was very relaxed and did not even show any surprise because of Wang Guangyang's death.
When someone told him the news, he just replied lightly, "The wind is finally blowing." .
