But when everyone thought about it, they all understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had been pointing at the prime minister from the beginning.

But no matter how clear you understand, you really don’t dare to stand up and speak.

Who dares to speak at this critical moment?

Hu Weiyong was already scolded and might die soon. If this person comes out to speak for the prime minister, it is equivalent to speaking for Hu Weiyong.

Those Hu Weiyong's gangsters are now either exiled or dismissed from office, and some of them are still in prison. Life and death are uncertain, who dares to speak?

Of course, someone dares to do so, it is Lu Chang.

Lu Chang had already said this before, and he was a very old but very loyal official.

He had also suggested that His Highness the King of Liao should go to Liaodong to become a vassal, of course he did not have any grudges with Zhu Qi or any grudges.

He is not Hu Weiyong's gangster. In fact, Lu Chang and Hu Weiyong were still very inconsistent with each other before. The suggestions he said and recommended were all based on the perspective of national interests.

So in Lu Shang's opinion, this prime minister system was set up to prevent the emperor from being stupid. How could it be easily abandoned?

What's more, the prime minister system that has been implemented a long time ago has become accustomed to the emperor as the prime minister to govern the country.

If an unwise emperor comes and there is no prime minister to help him, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

What Lu Chang said was nothing wrong, but he said it directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and the officials.

I have to say that Lu Chang is too brave, and he also wants to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang in private.

But Lu Chang really understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts very much, and also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's character.

If you say it privately, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not punish him severely, and might even be kind.

But it is not that easy to change this decision.

Whether it is to safeguard the emperor's face or not to change orders every day, such a detrimental matter is detrimental.

It is unlikely that Zhu Yuanzhang would take back his life and restore the prime minister's system.

Instead of waiting until the prime minister is truly abolished, it is better to stand up bravely and express your own objections now.

I believe that court officials will also oppose it with them. After all, the prime minister system is a necessary system that must exist.

But Lu Chang obviously overestimated the backbone of those officials in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

Apart from himself, no other official came forward to say this, mainly because he did not want to touch Zhu Yuanzhang's bad intentions at this critical moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Lu Chang would be so bold.

He has made so many preparations himself, and Hu Weiyong is already a half-dead person and has arrested so many officials.

Logically speaking, no minister dared to object, but Lu Chang seemed to have never seen this at all. He dared to come out and oppose his abolition of the prime minister system?

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, patted the chair and shouted to Lu Chang:

"Have you not seen a treacherous figure like Hu Weiyong almost ruined my Ming Dynasty?

Do you hope that the kings of future generations will meet a treacherous person like Hu Weiyong again?”

Lu Chang also said in a humble and arrogant manner:

"This Hu Weiyong is indeed a villain with a treacherous and virtuous person.

But in history, it is not entirely true that he is a treacherous figure like him. For example, Xiao He and Wang Anshi are all Ming prime ministers.

You also ask His Majesty the Emperor to think twice about taking back his life and not to abolish the prime minister system.”

Lu Chang said beautifully, but it was useless to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry at him again, but Lu Chang was as determined as he knelt down and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to take back his fate.

The other officials saw it, and although they did not agree, they were all observing the emperor's wink.

If the emperor is weak or hesitant, they will definitely hope to retain the prime minister system. Who doesn’t want to become one of the prime ministers or one of ten thousand people one day?

Zhu Yuanzhang had a high political awareness and high sensitivity, so he naturally knew that as an emperor, he would never give in.

If you give in, you will give in every step in the future. If you have any personal objections to you, you will kneel down and tell you a big truth. Will you, the emperor, still do it?

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly ordered the Jinyiwei to drag Lu Chang down and hit 30 big boards.

This Lu Chang is so old that 30 boards are not a small number.

When the Jinyiwei pulled Lu Chang down, Zhu Qi knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry.

But at this time, if Lu Chang was really beaten to death, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely regret it.

So Zhu Qi gave a wink at the Jinyiwei. After seeing the wink of His Highness the Liao King, they knew it.

His Highness of the Liao King clearly does not want to hurt Lu Chang's life!

But it is unlikely that this is too relaxed. Now His Majesty the Emperor is angry.

If you fight casually, Lu Chang will immediately stand up and continue to talk back to His Majesty the Emperor, then the lives of these Jinyiwei will be lost.

Fortunately, this incident could not help them, the Jinyiwei, who had been through many battles.

As long as you beat Lu Chang unconscious without hurting your life, you will be able to make a difference with the emperor.

It is naturally very particular about betting a board, and then Lu Chang thought he was dead.

When I was beaten, it was so painful that I felt deeply engraved, but the Jinyiwei beat me all the flesh and blood, and it didn't touch the root of it.

You see, the butt was bleeding, but it was all venting strength, and the strength was used on the flesh.

Not long after, Lu Chang fainted from pain. Fortunately, he had no heart disease, otherwise he would have died on the spot if his heart disease had occurred.

However, if you go back to rest for a few days and keep your skin well, you will be fine.

When Zhu Qi saw the Jinyiwei look back at him, he was relieved. Fortunately, he saved Lu Chang, a loyal minister!
