"Where's Wu Wang?"
"Zhu Rong, don't cause trouble for me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile of defeat had already disappeared when he didn't see Zhu Rong.
What replaced it was a hint of panic.
"Your son already informed Fifth Brother yesterday. He should be outside!”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao's face was also pale.
This devil king wouldn't cause trouble again, right?
"Imperial Father, don't panic. It might be because Fifth Brother was at Imperial Consort Sun's place all night to fulfill his filial piety and overslept!”
Zhu Biao tried to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the verge of going berserk.
"Get someone to look for him immediately!"
"Your Majesty, we have already sent someone to invite His Highness Wu Wang!”
"Find Fifth Brother's residence!”
Emperor Zhu's voice began to carry a hint of killing intent.
The eunuchs searched the entire palace as fast as they could to find Zhu Xi.
The officials were also stunned by this sudden incident.
They thought that they were going to be defeated in front of the emperor.
However, the person involved in Emperor Hongwu's plan to become a Saint had run away.
All the civil officials heaved a sigh of relief. The Demon King was still the same Demon King.
He had never disappointed anyone before.
This sudden victory made the civil officials feel much better. They even had the mood to watch Emperor Hongwu's show.
The eunuchs ran to the Imperial Concubine's palace, but there was no one.
The place where Zhu Wei lived was deserted.
When this news was reported back to the Heaven Tribute Hall, Old Zhu's anger finally erupted.
He had single-handedly fought against the entire civil servant group here and had done his best for this unfilial son.
He was cutting through the thorns in front, and this unfilial son was dropping the ball behind him?
Emperor Zhu cursed on the spot and then roared,"
"Hurry up and find her!"
"If you find it, kill it on the spot!"
"No, come back. I want to kill this bastard myself!”
Old Zhu even pulled out his sword beside him, full of killing intent.
"Imperial Father, you can't!"
"Emperor, calm down!"
Zhu Biao and the officials began to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang,
At this time, Hu Weiyong suddenly stood up and said,"
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Your Majesty wanting the King of Wu to be conferred the title of Saint Farmer, this subject agrees!“
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was furious, gradually calmed down because of Hu Weiyong's words.
He looked at Hu Weiyong in disbelief.
Hu Weiyong, the governor of the Ministry of Central Affairs, was not as good as Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea, and Liu Ji, the censor.
However, he was definitely an important figure in the civil service.
This guy actually defected at this time?
Old Zhu did not expect Hu Weiyong to say this. He looked at Hu Weiyong in confusion.
Hu Weiyong continued,
"I think that if I only rely on the 'Agricultural Classics,' I'll barely be able to become a Saint!“
"However, if sweet potatoes are planted all over the world and the people benefit from it, with the prestige of the King of Wu, some things will naturally happen!”：
"However, the production of sweet potatoes is only what His Majesty said!”
"Although this lowly official absolutely believes in the emperor, but to shut up the mouths of the people, in the end, we still have to wait until the benefits fall on the ground!”
"I agree with Your Majesty's decision to become a Saint, but please slow down for a few years!”
After Hu Weiyong's words, the officials understood.
Hu Weiyong was clearly using a delaying tactic.
Some people disagreed with this decision. They felt that the principles of scholars could not be traded.
Some people also agreed with Hu Weiyong. The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu, was not a soft-hearted person.
Even if the officials objected, they were not confident that they could stop Old Zhu's determination.
The key was that this emperor really dared to kill people.
Hu Weiyong pushed the matter of becoming a Saint to two years later.
It was just enough to give all the scholars in the world a buffer time to plan this matter.
However, a true expert could see more things from Hu Weiyong.
"This Hu Weiyong is really smart!" Liu Ji sighed.”
Xu Da stepped down from the position above the Senior Prime Minister of the Ministry of Education, and the vacant position of the Senior Prime Minister of the Ministry of Education definitely had to be filled by someone.
He and Hu Weiyong were the most promising candidates.
Liu Ji was the leader of the strongest civil servant group in the Ming Dynasty, the Zhedong Group, other than the Huaixi Group.
Logically speaking, he was the most suitable to be the Right Prime Minister.
However, no one knew what the emperor above was thinking.
But no matter what, this time, Hu Weiyong took the initiative.
All the officials opposed Zhu Wei's canonization, and he, Hu Weiyong, supported the Emperor. Emperor Zhu will definitely return the favor.
However, if Hu Weiyong supported Emperor Zhu, in the eyes of the officials, this was Hu Weiyong's delaying tactic.
He would please both sides and not offend either side.
The only people present who could see Hu Weiyong's intentions were probably himself and the Emperor above.
Even Li Shan Chang, who was in the middle of it, might not be able to see through it.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong silently for a long time after he finished speaking.
Finally, he nodded and said,"
"Alright!"
The matter of Feng Sheng was ruined because Zhu Rong did not appear.
Hu Weiyong gave him a way out.
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of that unfilial son, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Retreat!"
Old Zhu was in a hurry to go back and beat up his son. He left behind two words and went back to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute!
The confrontation between the Emperor and the court officials due to the King of Wu had finally come to an end.
"Hu Weiyong, what do you mean?”
The moment Lee Shan Chang left the court, he went to find trouble with Hu Weiyong.
As the leader of the Huaixi Group, his subordinates actually went against him?
Li Shan Chang thought that Hu Weiyong was his fellow countryman, and he had brought him up.
If this fellow dared to betray him…
He was going to expel Hu Weiyong from Huaixi Group.
"Duke of Korea, please calm down. I will never forget your kindness!”
"This time, I, Hu Weiyong, took action to leave a path of retreat for my Huaixi Group!”
"I'm also a scholar. How can I be willing to let King Wu become a Saint?”
"All of this is just a delaying tactic!”
"A delaying tactic, hmph, you are clearly trying to please His Majesty and pave the way for you to become the Right Prime Minister!”
Hu Weiyong's expression did not change when Li Shan Chang pointed out the most important purpose in his heart.
Lee Shan Chang was too involved to see clearly. Perhaps he didn't see it immediately in the court, but in hindsight, he still didn't know what Old Hu was thinking.
Then he wouldn't be the number one civil official of the Ming Dynasty.
He wasn't afraid that Lee Shan Chang would see through him.
Hu Weiyong only said,
"Duke, how dare His Majesty kill someone!"
"You really dare to sacrifice yourself to protect the Dao?"
