That night, a memorial explaining the conflict between Yan Changqing and Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's son, Hu Wen 'an, was presented to Zhu Yuanzhang's table.
At the same time, Yan Changqing had used them as money at the small trade fair. The water dragon, phoenix, qilin, longevity deer, heavenly horse, and crane glass goblets worth 300,000 taels, as well as nine nine-colored glass beads, were also placed on Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial table.
After the Embroidered Uniform Guards Commander Mao Xiang learned of the incident, he sent the Embroidered Uniform Guards to retrieve these precious treasures from the big merchant behind the small trading center in the afternoon.
Yes, the literal meaning was that he didn't need to spend money and directly took it back.
After all, 300,000 taels of silver was something that even the Embroidered Uniform Guards could not afford on the surface.
If the Jinyiwei could easily take out 300,000 taels, then Zhu Yuanzhang would suspect that the Jinyiwei was secretly abusing their power and accepting bribes behind his back.
However, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, power was much more useful than money!
He had merely sent a Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards over to represent him, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, to say that these glazed treasures were related to the princes.
The big merchant behind the small-scale trade fair was very respectful. He handed over all the glass bottles and glass beads that Yan Changqing had used as silver.
Then, the commander of the Brocade Guard, Mao Xiang, together with the memorial explaining the conflict today, handed it over to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial table.
"Dragons, phoenixes, qilins, cranes, longevity deers, pegasi, these glass cups, and these nine nine-colored glass beads, even the imperial family doesn't have them!”
Zhu Yuanzhang weighed the glass treasures on the imperial table, his tone seemed to be full of praise and mockery.
"Have you found out where the glass treasures in his hands came from?!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the glass cup in his hand and his gaze fell on Mao Xiang, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Your Majesty, I've checked the records of the transaction of glass treasures in the past three years, but I haven't found any records that correspond to these glass treasures.”
"At the same time, we also found out that eight months ago, Yan Changqing had already started to pawn the glass as gold and silver, or directly use it as gold and silver.”
"As for the glass treasures that he pawned and used as gold and silver, I also did not find any relevant historical records.”
"In addition, his parents died early and did not leave him any wealth.”
"At the same time, he has always lived near the Ying Tian Prefecture and has never interacted with other officials or merchants.”
"Therefore, I suspect that he might have grasped the method to refine the Glazed Treasure eight or nine months ago!”
? Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment, but he still voiced out his guess.
After all, if he hadn't mastered the method to refine the Glazed Treasure, how could he have so many Glazed Treasures?!!
It was so much that even the guards who were ordered to protect him this afternoon were given a pile of glass beads!
Tycoonish wasn't like this!
If he didn't know how to refine the glass, with his flower technique, no matter how many glass treasures he had, they wouldn't be able to withstand his reckless spending.
Therefore, the only inconceivable but reasonable answer was that Yan Changqing had mastered the method to refine the Glaze Treasure!
"The method to refine the Glazed Treasure?!”
Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in a low voice. He thought of Yan Changqing's calm expression again.
He knew the Dragon Slaying Skill!
He had also seen through the serious drawbacks of the imperial family's salary after two to three hundred years!
And now, it was very likely that he knew how to refine precious glass treasures!
At this moment, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Yan Changqing, who looked clear at first, was gradually covered by layers of secrets. His entire person became more and more hazy and mysterious.
"He spent 300,000 taels to buy the best ambergris and just gave it to Second Brother and the others without any request. He only said that it was a thank you gift?!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the records on the memorial and asked Mao Xiang for confirmation.
"Yes, and he also gave 34 multicolored glass beads to the guards who were in charge of protecting him at that time. He also asked the guards to pass on the message that it was a thank you gift for those guards.”
Mao Xiang nodded in confirmation.
"Strange, strange."
"If I didn't really need and like that piece of top-grade ambergris, why would I spend 300,000 taels to buy it?!!”
"He even went so far as to have a conflict with the son of the current Prime Minister?!!”
"In the end, after buying it, I gave it to someone else.”
" What's the purpose?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that once Yan Changqing was involved, there were many things that he could not understand.
If someone else had done this, he would have thought that someone else was taking the opportunity to curry favor with the prince.
However, if Yan Changqing did this, then there might be other reasons, but these reasons definitely did not include pleasing the prince.
When he was secretly listening to the conversation, Yan Changqing had not even tried to please the Crown Prince, Zhu Biao, and the other princes.
Yan Changqing didn't even show much respect to the emperor.
Mao Xiang lowered his head and remained silent. He truly did not know the answer to this question, nor could he give a guess.
After thinking for a while, he realized that he couldn't come up with an answer that he believed in. Zhu Yuanzhang could only temporarily put this question aside.
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze landed on the last part of the memorial that Mao Xiang had submitted.
After the incident, Arrester Chen took the initiative to report to the Jinyiwei. At that time, he heard the son of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, Hu Wenan, say angrily," Damn it! If Father could take a step further, why would I have to suffer such humiliation?"
If the Left Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, who was already the head of all officials, took another step forward, what would it be?!!
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and looked at Mao Xiang."
"Keep an eye on that constable. Don't let him die.”
"In addition, keep an eye on Hu Weiyong and report to me immediately if he makes any moves!”
As for Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang's patience was almost reaching its limit.
However, now was not the time. He still needed to continue enduring.
The words that Hu Wen 'an had said to himself could only implicate Hu Weiyong's entire family.
However, what he wanted to get rid of was not only Hu Weiyong and the people related to Hu Weiyong, but also the position of Prime Minister that Hu Weiyong himself held!!!
There had to be a more convincing crime and more concrete evidence.
Only then could he eliminate Hu Weiyong and the related people with the smallest impact and consequences. At the same time, he could also abolish the position of Prime Minister, which threatened the imperial power!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
" Understood!" Mao Xiang immediately agreed, his expression unable to conceal his excitement.
Prime Minister!
If they could bring down the Left Prime Minister, who was the leader of all officials, then who would dare to look down on the Brocade Guard in the future?
"You may leave."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and dismissed Mao Xiang.
