As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang threw a thick stack of documents on the table.
"What?"
Hu Weiyong was stunned.
However, when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang blurt out a series of crimes, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He hurriedly wanted to explain himself, but at this moment, he saw the stack of documents that had fallen on his body and felt a chill run down his spine.
That was because the documents that had been scattered all contained evidence of him forming a clique for personal gain.
And all the evidence was true.
In it, even when he met with someone, what they talked about, and even what expression he had at that time were written down in detail!
Hu Weiyong's hands and feet turned cold.
All of this…was real…
As the Prime Minister, he did have some selfish motives, which was to place his students and old officials as far as possible and let them spread out across the world.
This was also a backup plan.
After all, he did not know when he would have to step down from the position of Prime Minister. At that time, his influence in the imperial court would definitely weaken.
At that time, his disciples would be able to help him a lot and allow him to continue maintaining his power.
It was really difficult for people who had tasted power to completely let go…
As for the corruption and bribery among them, they were actually just small amounts. Some of the bribes were not even worth his attention. It was just that the other party rushed to send them over, and he could not be bothered by it, so he casually accepted them.
He had even forgotten about it.
But now, everything was laid out in great detail.
There was irrefutable evidence!
Hu Weiyong was trembling all over. His face was pale as he looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was high up in the air and had an ice-cold expression.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was like a demon god in his eyes.
Now, Hu Weiyong knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had wanted to get rid of him completely.
He had been collecting these crimes for a long time so that he could publish them at the right time...
Today, it was not a small punishment but a fatal blow!
In a trance, he remembered someone's evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Either he didn't do it, or he did it ruthlessly!
" Your Majesty…spare my life…"
Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in despair. Now, he no longer wanted to defend himself. He only wanted to spare his life.
Because he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would either not make a move, or once he did, he would not show any mercy!
But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only stared at him coldly and said,""Hu Weiyong, the court has been in chaos. The evidence is certain.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Instantly, all the ministers 'expressions changed drastically.
This was great news.
Someone related to Hu Weiyong?
Hu Weiyong was the Prime Minister. Over the years, Hu Weiyong had planted his trusted aides wantonly, and many people had fawned over him…Who knew how many people were related to him?
If this were to go on, it would probably have to clear out more than half of the Imperial Court!
Everyone realized one thing.
The imperial court…was about to undergo a great change!
However, some people were happy while others were sad.
Among these ministers, some of them did not have a good relationship with Hu Weiyong.
And now, there was an empty Prime Minister position.
Therefore, many people rubbed their fists and had their eyes on the position of Prime Minister.
Thunder, rain, dew, all thanks to the king's grace.
Now that the lightning had been struck, the next thing should be rain and dew, right?
However…
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the crowd and said calmly,""From now on, Great Ming will abolish the position of Prime Minister and take back the power of Prime Minister!”
"What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire imperial court was on the verge of exploding.
Dismiss the Prime Minister?
What a joke!
One had to know that the position of prime minister was a position that the entire court was eyeing. Countless scholars studied hard, but didn't they still regard the prime minister as their highest goal?
But now, the position of Prime Minister was actually going to be completely abolished?
What kind of joke was this?
Then what hope did they have in the future?
Even Liu Bowen, who had been silent, raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock.
The position of Prime Minister must not be abolished!
That was his first reaction.
One had to know that the position of Prime Minister had been around for a long time, so there was naturally a reason for his existence. Once it was abolished, there would definitely be a big mess.
Although he did not care about the court, he did not want to see the entire court fall into chaos.
So…this was Zhu Yuanzhang's true goal!
He had indeed set his eyes on Hu Weiyong for a long time.
However, he had been holding it in for a reason.
That was to completely end the Prime Minister system!
For a moment, Liu Bowen hesitated whether he should speak or not…
After all, this matter was of great importance. Even he could no longer pretend to be deaf and mute.
Fortunately, at this time, there were people who could not stand it anymore.
"Your Majesty, this cannot be done. The position of Prime Minister has existed since ancient times. It is responsible for helping Your Majesty resolve his worries and regulate Yin and Yang. If this is abolished, the world will definitely be in chaos!”
" Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong is indeed guilty, but I thought that we could just replace him with a Prime Minister. Now, he wants to completely terminate his position as Prime Minister…I'm afraid this is…"
The court was in chaos.
Many of the ministers began to persuade him earnestly.
They all hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would retract his order.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed,""So, what you are worried about is the instability of the government after the Prime Minister is abolished?”
