When Lu Zhongheng arrived, he was surprised to find that there were several Huaixi dignitaries waiting at the Prime Minister's residence. It seemed that something big had happened.
When Hou Fei of Pingliang saw Lu Zhongheng, he immediately called him to sit with him.
"Marquis Ji An, you heard the news too?”
Lu Zhongheng was confused. He was here to ask Hu Weiyong about the King of Qin, Zhu Xi.
Outsiders didn't know that Zhu Rong had ordered Lu Zhongheng to deal with Su Yang.
But the current situation made Lu Zhongheng keenly aware that the Crown Prince might have gotten involved.
This made him very vigilant. In addition, Hu Weiyong had been trying to rope him in, so he wanted to go to Hu Weiyong's house to ask for his opinion.
After all, Hu Weiyong's brain was better than theirs.
Otherwise, before Li Shan Chang retired, he wouldn't have recommended Hu Weiyong.
Who knew that he would hear other news before he could settle his own matters?
"What news? Brother Fei, you can't play riddles with me!”
Fei Ju glanced at Lu Zhongheng and saw that he was really at a loss. Only then did he confirm that Lu Zhongheng really didn't know.
"My old brother, what have you been doing every day? You didn't hear anything about such a big thing?”
As Fei Ju spoke, he moved closer to Lu Zhongheng's ear and whispered,"Rumor has it that His Highness the Crown Prince has been ordered to inspect Fengyang City!”
The Crown Prince went to Fengyang?
When Lu Zhongheng heard this, his entire body trembled!
It was common for the Crown Prince to patrol the area on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Fengyang was too sensitive. This was a place where dragons thrived!
Of course, the most important thing was that Fengyang was also a place where Huaixi's nobles had wantonly occupied!
The local people had many complaints about this, but the grievances didn't spread to Fengyang, so Jin Ling City was in peace.
Now that Zhu Biao was going to Fengyang, it was very likely that their plot of land would be exposed.
The nobles of Huaixi who were close to Hu Weiyong had all gathered at Hu Weiyong's residence. Their purpose was to let Hu Weiyong analyze the Crown Prince's purpose of patrolling Fengyang.
When Lu Zhongheng heard this, his heart jumped to his throat!
He had quite a bit of land in Fengyang Circle. If Zhu Biao really went to investigate the matter of land enclosure, then this matter could not be hidden.
Compared to this matter, even Su Yang had to take a step back.
"Brother Fei, is the information accurate? How can the Crown Prince's whereabouts be easily revealed? Why haven't I heard of it?”Lu Zhongheng still didn't believe it.
Fei Ju said directly," Brother, don't worry about the accuracy of the news. If nothing goes wrong, the Crown Prince will leave the capital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."”
"When the time comes, you can see if the carriage is heading towards Fengyang! However, if we prepare by then, I'm afraid it will be too late!”
Seeing that Fei Ju was so certain, Lu Zhongheng did not dare to be careless anymore. He began to silently calculate his land in Fengyang.
Seeing this, Fei Ju sighed and said,"Brother, don't be nervous. In my opinion, even if the Crown Prince goes, it's useless.”
"As the saying goes, the law doesn't punish the masses. The Huaixi dignitaries in Fengyang's territory are probably not left behind.”
"Even if we find out something, would the Crown Prince dare to touch us? Even the Emperor might not touch us!"
Fei Ju was a person who was extravagant, indulgent, and indulged in wine and women. His body was not as good as it was when he conquered the world.
Such a person also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not let him go to the battlefield again. Then what else could he do if he did not earn money?
In the past two years, the land they occupied in Fengyang City had only increased!
Lu Zhongheng was still thinking when Hu Weiyong finally walked out of the inner hall.
The current Hu Weiyong was very proud of himself. After he was promoted to the Left Prime Minister, he was the head of all officials.
Huaixi's nobility also followed his lead, and it could be said that he could cover the sky with one hand in the imperial court!
If things were to develop normally, and the matter of Huaixi's territory was exposed, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely use Hu Weiyong's hands to deal with it.
The best way was to let Hu Weiyong take the initiative to report these Huaixi dignitaries.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang would punish a batch, pardon a batch, and intimidate a batch. This matter would be perfectly resolved.
Huaixi dignitaries did not dare to hate Hu Weiyong. After all, they still needed to report to the court for warmth.
And Hu Weiyong himself had also received tangible benefits.
Not only did he help Zhu Yuanzhang, but he also made Huaixi's nobles feel insecure and rely on him even more.
Unfortunately, now that Su Yang was here, Hu Weiyong's little plan would probably fail!
This morning, he had received news that Zhu Biao was going to patrol Fengyang. His heart tightened as he sensed something different.
……
When the dignitaries saw Hu Weiyong come out, they immediately began to greet him politely.
After some small talk, Lu Zhongheng couldn't hold it in anymore and directly asked Hu Weiyong if he knew that the Crown Prince was going to Fengyang.
"Prime Minister, I don't know where the Crown Prince got the news that he was patrolling Fengyang. Why didn't any news leak out before?”
When everyone heard this, they all agreed.
Some of the dignitaries still had to attend court, so Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mention this matter at today's court meeting.
However, the news of the Crown Prince's inspection spread like wildfire.
Hu Weiyong was still calm. He picked up his tea and took a sip.
"Everyone, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's inspection tour of Fengyang is true!"”
This sentence caused an uproar at the scene!
Everyone's expressions were very interesting. Some were worried, some were afraid, and some even had fierce looks in their eyes!
Hu Weiyong glanced at everyone and took in their reactions.
Then, he raised his hand and gestured for everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, calm down!"
Seeing this, everyone quieted down.
"Everyone, I've only just heard about the Crown Prince's inspection." Hu Weiyong continued.”
"However, I immediately noticed the problem. Don't you think that this news has spread too quickly and is too inexplicable?”
These words made the dignitaries nod their heads and start talking at once.
"That's right. I didn't believe it when I heard it today!”
"Speaking of which, this news seems to have no source. Everyone has heard it, but they can't say where it came from.”
"Could it be fake news? I'm afraid the Crown Prince himself doesn't even know that he's going to patrol Fengyang?”
"Unfortunately, the news spread too fast. It's too late to trace it back now.”
The living room of the Hu Residence instantly became chaotic again.
Hu Weiyong coughed to silence everyone.
"So, since there are so many problems, we shouldn't panic first!”
" The most important thing now is to find out the source of the news and the purpose of the Crown Prince's trip…"
However, before Hu Weiyong could finish speaking, Lan Yu suddenly came knocking on his door.
"There is no need to investigate. The news came from the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince is indeed going to patrol Fengyang.”
