After the court session, the civil and military officials paid their respects to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Standing at the front was Huaixi's noble officials, with Li Shan Chang as their representative.
However, ever since he pushed Hu Weiyong out a few years ago.
Hu Weiyong was the most powerful person in Huaixi Group now.
Hu Weiyong, as prime minister, had many followers in the court.
Originally, Lee Shan Chang thought that he was too arrogant and would get into trouble sooner or later, so he wanted to clear the line.
However, he did not expect Hu Weiyong to secretly form an alliance with his two younger brothers.
In the end, Lee Shan Chang was dragged into the water.
At the same time.
Since then.
More and more people in the court became Hu Weiyong's henchmen.
The reason why Hu Weiyong dragged so many people into the water…
It was because through the previous incident, he realized that Zhu Yuanzhang knew all the things he had done, but he turned a blind eye and ignored them.
It was because of this that Hu Weiyong was very afraid!
Therefore, he pulled so many people off their horses. He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang must have wanted to kill him. He couldn't have killed all of them, right?
Other than Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, Huaixi Group was the only company in the company.
There were also a few people who had once fought with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Feng Sheng, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He.
These people had been conferred the title of Duke ever since the founding of the country.
However, Liu Bowen, who was the head of Zhedong Group, was only an uncle.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also from Huaixi.
There was another reason.
It was because of some things that happened back then that he was extremely afraid of Liu Bowen. He was afraid that if he was given too much power, it would cause danger.
Now, Liu Bowen, this scourge, had been eliminated.
Now, there was only one Huaixi noble family left.
There was also the military faction in the royal court, such as Lan Yu and the others.
Now that the court had not suffered Zhu Yuanzhang's wanton massacre of meritorious officials, the number of people was still relatively prosperous.
After the court session.
Some of the officials told him what they wanted to report.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that Hu Weiyong's face was dark during this period.
He seemed to have something to say.
As expected.
When there were no other ministers to talk about, Hu Weiyong suddenly stood up and shouted.
"I have something to report!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said," What's the matter, Prime Minister?”
"I, Hu Weiyong, impeach Meng Yin, the prefect of Fuzhou, for taking bribes and seizing the land of the people.”
Hearing this.
All the ministers were stunned.
No one expected such a scene to happen.
Not to mention the other ministers who did not know,
Even the few dukes from Huaixi Group like Hu Weiyong looked at each other.
He didn't understand what Hu Weiyong was doing.
Hu Weiyong was the current Prime Minister.
His power was so high that it was beyond anyone's reach.
Meng Yin was only a magistrate of Fuzhou Prefecture.
Furthermore,
A magistrate from such a poor place was not even qualified to meet Hu Weiyong.
There was actually enmity between these two people?？
It was Hu Weiyong who took the initiative to target him.
This was interesting!
Many officials in the court were waiting to watch a good show.
Zhu Yuanzhang was curious.
This was the first time he had heard of an official impeaching Meng Yin in the Imperial Court.
He also wanted to watch a good show.
But on the surface, he did not show any expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled, as if he did not know Meng Yin.
"Why did the Prime Minister impeach Meng Yin?" he asked.”
"He's just a magistrate of Fuzhou Prefecture. When did he become your enemy?”
Hearing this.
Hu Weiyong said righteously,"Your Majesty, this subject did not become enemies with Meng Yin. This subject is thinking for the sake of Great Ming's country!”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
Speaking of Meng Yin, why did it get further and further away?
And even dragged the entire Big Ming into it?
"Prime Minister, do you know what you're talking about?" he asked coldly.”
Hu Weiyong's expression remained unchanged as he said," I naturally understand!”
"Your Majesty, this subject has long noticed that something is wrong with Meng Yin.”
"Previously, when he was in Xu Prefecture, he secretly hoarded grain. Although he finally told the world that he did this for Great Ming, no one knows if he had any selfish motives.”
At this point.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly.
He seemed to understand why Hu Weiyong did this.
It must be because of the grain hoarding case in Xuzhou.
With Hu Weiyong's power, it was not difficult to investigate this matter carefully.
He must have noticed Meng Yin.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself was shocked by this kid's matter back then.
Hu Weiyong would definitely be more and more shocked after this investigation.
The most important thing was that such a big piece of news, as the Prime Minister of Great Ming, he actually didn't know?
Otherwise…
If he had snatched this political achievement back then, wouldn't he be even more glorious now?
Therefore…
With so many thoughts added together, Hu Weiyong had indeed set his eyes on Meng Yin.
Just before the morning court session, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the wealth that Meng Yin had accumulated and felt quite unbalanced.
This time, it was rare to see someone targeting Meng Yin. His interest was also piqued in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang said,"Alright, I want to hear what Meng Yin has done to actually mobilize so many people to impeach him in this hall."”
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Hu Weiyong a chance.
As long as what the other party said was really reasonable, then he would definitely take this opportunity to punish Meng Yin severely.
Below.
A cold smile appeared on Hu Weiyong's face.
Then, he said,"Your Majesty, the reason for this report is that I have investigated. Meng Yin, as the governor of Fuzhou Prefecture, deliberately seized the houses of the common people!" It caused a scene of corruption!
"He even forced many commoners to sell their land deeds. When I received the news of such an infuriating matter, I simply felt endless hatred in my heart!”
"I only wish that I could immediately tie Meng Yin up and bring him in front of His Majesty!”
Hu Weiyong spoke with righteous indignation, as if he really hated Meng Yin's actions.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled when he heard this.
Because previously.
He had already heard the Jinyiwei report to him that Meng Yin was indeed holding a large number of demolition activities in Fuzhou Prefecture.
However, the Jinyiwei told him that the people were very willing to demolish the old houses and get compensation or replace them with new ones.
Why did Hu Weiyong report a different situation?
"Prime Minister, do you know the consequences of lying to me?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dignified face.”
Hu Weiyong pretended to be extremely afraid and shouted that he was wronged.
"Your Majesty! Every word I say is true."
"In such a court, how would this subject dare to do something to deceive the emperor?”
Hu Weiyong's eyes turned cold.
He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly questioned him because he admired Meng Yin's talent.
"Your Majesty, I have already sent people to investigate the situation. I have also sent people to bring the local people of Fuzhou Prefecture outside the palace.”
"They can meet the Saint at any time! Report the local situation in Fuzhou Prefecture!"
Seeing this.
Many of the officials were even more curious.
Hu Weiyong was well prepared.
That was why he impeached Meng Yin early in the morning.
He had brought the witness.
Could it be that Meng Yin, who had created terrifying political achievements back then, really committed a crime so quickly?
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was a little uncertain.
Could it be that the Jinyiwei really didn't investigate thoroughly?
"Bring the witness here," he said.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Weiyong was overjoyed.”
"Successor certificate!"
Then…
The five commoners who were waiting outside the hall walked in.
