In the eyes of all officials, Hu Weiyong's fall happened suddenly without any warning.

It was obvious that when His Majesty the Emperor left Yingtian Mansion, he still entrusted important tasks to Hu Weiyong, but he did not expect that the half month had just passed.

Hu Weiyong, who was in charge of the State Administration, had not even heated up his bench yet.

The person had already entered the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei.

As the saying goes, a centipede worm dies without being stiff. Hu Weiyong has many followers, and hundreds of officials follow his leader.

Of course, I don’t want to believe it easily that Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, a famous prime minister who has been through the ages, has fallen so easily.

After all, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him very much. Didn’t that Liu Bowen be dragged down by Prime Minister Hu Weiyong and still dare not become an official?

Not to mention Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, he handed over all matters, big and small, to Hu Weiyong for handling.

Including the allocation of materials on the front line,

Official appointments, etc.

As long as the memorials and suggestions were sent by Hu Weiyong, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang would pass it directly with a big stroke.

Even in the court, Hu Weiyong was praised many times.

How could it be so easy to fall?

Some people who were self-righteous and smart began to analyze it and said that it was Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who deliberately wanted to hone Prime Minister Hu Weiyong and attack his spirit by the way.

After all, those who achieve great things must first work hard and make their minds and minds hard!

There are many different opinions outside, and everyone is still loyal to Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, at least now.

Many people think about this time, if they write a letter to plead for the prime minister.

Maybe after Prime Minister Hu Weiyong comes out safely, he will still have better benefits.

Therefore, many opportunistic people began to write letters to Zhu Yuanzhang and plead for Hu Weiyong.

Good guy, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would not arrest all Hu Weiyong's followers, so these guys came to his door by themselves.

Needless to say,

Let’s write down all the lists one by one. As for these memorials, there is no need to reply. They are all seized, and they will be evidence when they look back.

On Hu Weiyong's side, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even go to see him, so he locked him in the imperial prison, and the Jinyiwei interrogated him day and night.

And as these days went by, other officials discovered something was wrong.

Why hasn’t Prime Minister Hu Weiyong been released yet?

Not only that, the officials who were quite close to Prime Minister Hu Weiyong were also arrested one by one.

Although there was no one arrested in one breath like the previous empty seal case, there were not a few officials arrested this time!

The seats in the official office were almost one-third empty, and several people were arrested every day.

If this trend continues, I am afraid that the government office will be arrested.

In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, he wanted to arrest all the officials in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

Then change the batch again.

Who knows if they have a broken relationship with Hu Weiyong?

However, with the urge of Prince Zhu Biao,

And Queen Ma's persuasion,

Zhu Yuanzhang did not really implement such a thing.

It just put the officials closest to Hu Weiyong into jail.

The other officials were released after a brief interrogation.

However, officials from the three provinces and six ministries will definitely not be able to do it.

After all, these officials have written to write a letter to Hu Weiyong, and they are all people who are tempted by the storm. Zhu Yuanzhang certainly doesn't want to use them.

Although all this was done by Zhu Yuanzhang, many people in the court began to speculate again that it was probably not the ones who were led by Liao King Zhu Qi.

After careful analysis, there is really a possibility.

Previously, Hu Weiyong took the initiative to provoke His Highness the King of Liao, so Zhu Qi first arrested the Minister of Personnel under Hu Weiyong, which was equivalent to cutting off Hu Weiyong's left arm with one knife.

After that, His Highness of the King of Liao did not have any remaining actions. He thought he wanted to use the Minister of Personnel to do something, such as frame Hu Weiyong.

However, he did not expect that there was no news, and Hu Weiyong also attracted a group of people to write a letter, asking Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to order King Zhu Qi of Liao to go to Liaodong to take advantage of the vassal state. This was obviously intended to drive His Highness the King of Liao out of the center of power.

As long as the Liao King is not in Yingtian Prefecture, His Highness of the Liao King will naturally have no threat to Hu Weiyong.

Everyone thought that the battle between Hu Weiyong and His Highness of the Liao King was already a victory for Hu Weiyong.

However, he did not expect that His Highness of the King of Liao did not go to Liaodong to become a vassal, but stayed in Fengyang with Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

I came back in less than half a month, and the rest happened immediately.

Hu Weiyong was arrested, and some officials who had close relationships with him were in trouble.

Everyone was unwilling to believe that this was what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. It must be that His Highness the King of Liao seized some of the handles of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

Then this strategy was set up to make Prime Minister Hu Weiyong relax his vigilance, and then he was directly arrested.

But thinking about it, Prime Minister Hu Weiyong has been extremely arrogant in Yingtian Mansion since the emperor left. It seems that the Jinyiwei took all this in his eyes, so Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry!

Your Highness, the King of Liao, is it true that Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, he has made a clear plan!

This boy is so terrifying!

When some officials who were lucky enough to hear this, they immediately shook their heads regretfully.

Who is not good to provoke this? What should I provoke His Highness the King of Liao?

Who is His Highness the King of Liao?

His cousin and cousin were both killed, not to mention that so many officials were defeated by His Highness the King of Liao in the empty seal case.

Thousands of people were beheaded, and countless people were exiled to the frontier to work hard labor.

His Highness, a man in his seventies or eighties, was spared by His Highness the King of Liao.

There are countless people who were killed by His Highness the King of Liao on the battlefield.

It can be said that since His Highness of the Liao King recovered from his illness, he has transformed into a god of killing.

Either killing people or on the way to kill people.

The people His Highness of the Liao King wanted to deal with hadn't seen many people who could escape.

When Zhu Qi first heard this speech, he was confused and he really did nothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not clarify when he heard this statement, but instead made a default attitude!

One time I even said in the court:

"Hu Weiyong, a treacherous person, deceived his subordinates and concealed his superiors, if it weren't for my son's witty third.

I had known that Hu Weiyong's words were blinded by him.

But now that the conclusive evidence has been captured, I will definitely not spare this treacherous minister.”

Poor Hu Weiyong, the former "virtuous minister", has now become a traitor among everyone.

Who dares not to scold Hu Weiyong?

That is seeking death, but there are also people with far-reaching knowledge that can see Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang deal with Hu Weiyong? He clearly used Hu Weiyong as a guise, and he wanted to take action against the prime minister!

Liu Bowen naturally realized that it was, but Liu Bowen had long been no longer concerned about the government affairs.

Gu Lin

So I didn't say anything more. In Liu Bowen's view, he naturally maintained the prime minister's system.

In fact, as long as you are a minister and defend the prime minister, it does not mean that all these ministers want to monopolize the power and underestimate the emperor.

But there have been too many vivid evidence in history that if an emperor is stupid, the prime minister can also take on the heavy responsibility.

Only if the emperor is stupid and the prime minister is incompetent, the country will quickly decline.

Liu Bowen didn't ask, but it was impossible for an official like Lu Chang to ignore it.

Zhu Yuanzhang denounced Hu Weiyong several charges during the court.

He simply described Hu Weiyong as a treacherous minister who was unforgivable.

It was almost impossible to write a biography of the treacherous ministers for Hu Weiyong.

However, after the scolding, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly began to the main topic, which was to abolish the prime minister system.

If the king who has been around for thousands of years will no longer encounter such a treacherous minister and a traitor.

Those officials who had already thought of it were naturally aware of it.

Most of the officials were confused. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's brain circuit was so leaping. There were so many treacherous ministers in history, but they never saw that they wanted to abolish the prime minister system.
