Er Hu returned to the palace.
He came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and said carefully,""Upper position, this general has returned."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and took a deep breath."You're back?"
" Someone wants to assassinate Lu Chang," said Er Hu carefully." I've captured him and interrogated him. There's already a result."”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression instantly turned ugly.
He looked at Xiao Hu and asked,"Who ordered it?"”
Erhu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's calm face and swallowed his saliva.""It's…it's Yang Xian."
"What is it? Yang Xian?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he could not help but be furious.
Did Yang Xian eat the heart of a bear or the heart of a leopard?
He actually dared to play tricks on this kind of thing?
"It's Yang Xian, the Left Deputy of the Ministry of Central Affairs."”
"This…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly surprised.
In his eyes, Yang Xian should not be such an existence.
Moreover, Yang Xian was a hero, a hero that he trusted.
But now, it seemed that Yang Xian was courting death!
However, Xiao Hu was loyal to him and would never betray his existence.
At this moment, a guard walked in.
"Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong requests an audience."”
Hu Weiyong?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression could not help but freeze.
What was Hu Weiyong doing here?
"Let him in," Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Erhu hurried to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and stood there quietly.
After a while, Hu Weiyong walked over.
After bowing respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang, he said very seriously,"Superior, I have something to report."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but frown.
"If it's the matter of the morning court, then we'll skip it."”
"Your Majesty, the matter I want to report is about Yangzhou." Hu Weiyong shook his head.”
Yangzhou?
Hearing the word Yangzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly thought of Yang Xian.
"What is it?" he asked.”
"Go back to your seat," Hu Weiyong hurriedly said,"Just look at this evidence."”
As he spoke, he took out a pile of evidence from his pocket.
He raised his hands respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and Er Hu walked over.
He placed the evidence on Zhu Yuanzhang's table respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pile of evidence and his expression changed slightly.
Why are there so many of these things?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Hu Weiyong and said,"You're well prepared."
Hu Weiyong chuckled and said," This is evidence of Yangzhou's false report of a bumper harvest and evidence of some officials abusing the people for show."”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned ugly.
Hu Weiyong's words made him feel embarrassed.
Who reported Yangzhou's bumper harvest?
It was Yang Xian!
If the officials of Yangzhou abused the people, who should be responsible?
It was still Yang Xian!
Earlier, Xiao Hu had told him that Yang Xian wanted to assassinate Lu Chang!
Now, Hu Weiyong had brought a large amount of evidence. It was too coincidental!
Looking at Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"Hu Weiyong, I know that you and Yang Xian have been fighting.”
"Your evidence has to be accurate.”
Hu Weiyong smiled and said," Back to your seat. We have to give you all the witnesses and evidence. You'll know when you see it."”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned.
He had planned to take a symbolic look, but who would have thought?
When Zhu Yuanzhang first saw it, the first thing he saw was Yang Xian buying Nanyang's grain for the national treasury!
Most of the food that was handed in was bought!
He continued reading.
Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists tightly.
He did not expect things to develop to this extent.
In order to increase production, Yang Xian actually chose to abuse the people!
He didn't treat the commoners as humans and made them work day and night!
This made him very angry.
Looking down, he discovered something that made him even angrier!
The ears of rice that had become auspicious in the palace were actually bought from Nanyang!
"Bang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and looked at Hu Weiyong angrily."Is it true?"
"Upstanding, this is all true. Originally, I only received an anonymous report. This matter should have been reported by the Minister of Revenue, Lu Chang.”
Hu Weiyong said very seriously.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer suppress his anger.
He kicked the table open and said angrily,"You're rebelling! He actually dared to fool us like this!"
After cursing, he looked at Hu Weiyong and said,"Arrest Yang Xian immediately! Hu Weiyong, you'll be in charge of investigating this case!”
Hu Weiyong respectfully cupped his hands and said very seriously,"This subject obeys the decree!"
……
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his bedroom with a gloomy expression.
He became silent.
He looked at the evidence and could not help but burn with anger.
He had actually been deceived!
The person who lied to him was actually Yang Xian, whom he had praised and even promoted!
Every time she thought about how this bastard had lied to her, she felt even worse.
He had never expected Yang Xian to do such a thing.
Empress Ma had also arrived at Zhu Yuanzhang's palace.
After hearing about this, Empress Ma knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely suffer for a period of time.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma and said sadly,""It's my fault for not knowing people well."
Empress Ma hurried over to comfort him." Chongba, the matter has already happened. You should think about how to deal with the problem. Don't be sad for nothing."”
"If you don't know who you are, you have to make up for it quickly. The people trust us. We can't let them down again, right?”
Hearing Empress Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he said,""Yes, the matter hasn't been settled yet.”
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly frowned.
He suddenly felt that he had placed too much trust in those civil officials.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart rang with alarm bells.
The next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang quietly looked at the officials below.
The ministers were also very silent.
Because they all knew that the most important thing today was to deal with Yang Xian!
This malignant tumor was finally going to fall!
Everyone loved to see such a scene!
Yang Xian was the same.
Everyone in the imperial court hated him.
Hu Weiyong was very efficient. Not only did he hand over all the evidence, but he also placed all the witnesses in front of him.
Yang Xian's actions were one after another.
There was no way to hide.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he could not help but feel extremely furious.
What he did not expect was that his trust would result in such an outcome.
If he could rush over, he would definitely send someone to Yangzhou to check his home!
He had to do it so that Yang Xian wouldn't have any chance to fool him!
Hu Weiyong loudly recited every piece of evidence against Yang Xian.
The other officials were all shocked.
There was actually someone who dared to lie about the harvest in front of the higher-ups?
Everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy and angry face. They were all quietly waiting for the punishment.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, Yang Xian was the one to die for such a serious crime.
Let's see how Zhu Yuanzhang plans to kill him!
He ordered loudly,"Cut Yang Xian into pieces!"”
Five Horses Dismember!
From this, it could be seen how angry Zhu Yuanzhang was!
When the officials present heard this, they almost celebrated.
They looked at Yang Xian as if he would die a horrible death!
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he stood up and said,""It's impossible for Yang Xian's teacher, Liu Bowen, to not know about this. I'm afraid that the two of them have long been colluding.”
When Liu Bowen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had indeed known about this long ago and had also advised her.
But now, it could be seen that Yang Xian had already done something irreparable.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen with anger written all over his face.
"Liu Bowen's official position will be demoted by two levels, and his salary will be fined for three years!" he said coldly.”
Hearing this, Liu Bowen could not help but laugh and cry.
He also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely deal with him, but he did not expect him to deal with him in such a way.
Three years of salary!
His entire family depended on this salary to survive.
But now, he was being punished for three years.
This was too fatal.
However, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, how could he express his emotions?
He could only smile bitterly at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,""I accept your orders."
