In the Jinling Royal Palace.
"Hu Weiyong, the reason I made you Prime Minister is because you are loyal to me!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily. What you did in Fengyang County really disappointed me!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's last sentence was filled with regret.
"Your Majesty, he was the one who schemed against me last time!" Hu Weiyong quickly said. Ming is the Emperor's land, and only the Emperor can appoint the officials in the court. The officials were provoked by him and said something they shouldn't have said. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me!”
After saying this, he directly knelt on the ground.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice,""Hu Weiyong, on account of you fighting side by side with me, let's forget about the previous matter for now! You can continue to be the prime minister!"
When Hu Weiyong heard that his position as prime minister was saved, he immediately felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly,"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Hu Weiyong returned to his residence, he called his servant over.
"How's Chen Jingge's investigation going?"
The attendant hurriedly said," Sir, this person was the county magistrate in the first year of Hongwu. Ever since he took office, the entire Fengyang County has changed."“
The attendant immediately reported to Hu Weiyong what Chen Jingge had done in Fengyang County. As Hu Weiyong listened, he felt that this person was not an ordinary person.
...
On this day, Hu Weiyong came to Zhu Yuanzhang's main hall and handed him a memorial.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it once, then raised his head and looked at Hu Weiyong in disbelief. He asked,"Are you saying that Chen Jingge of Fengyang County is corrupt and accepts bribes?”
Hu Weiyong bowed and replied," Yes, Your Majesty. These are all irrefutable evidence. They can prove that Fengyang County Magistrate Chen Jingge is corrupt and accepts bribes."”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the file in his hand and frowned."I understand. I'll send someone to investigate now!”
Hu Weiyong immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly knelt on the ground and said,"Your Majesty, this Chen Jingge dares to be so unscrupulous in his corruption. Your Majesty, please send someone to arrest him immediately! Let the people of Ming Dynasty live peaceful days.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him deeply and said,""I know you're still brooding over Chen Jingge's imprisonment, but I've investigated in secret. Not only is he not corrupt, but he's also impartial and unafraid of power!”
"I did it for the people of Ming Dynasty. I have no grudges with Chen Jingge…" Hu Weiyong quickly explained.
"Don't you hold grudges?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly. I don't believe that you won't hate him for this!”
Hu Weiyong immediately shut up.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,"I already know about this matter. I will deal with it when the time comes."”
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he could only give up.
Time passed by. On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Fengyang County again, bringing Zhu Di, Zhu Nan, and Liu Bowen with him.
Zhu Di looked at the buildings and the grand road and could not help but praise.
"Imperial Father, the Fengyang you mentioned is really different! This house is different from any house I've ever seen!”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said proudly,""Of course, I told you before that Fengyang County is no small matter! Now that he saw it with his own eyes, did he feel different?”
"Father, I would like to ask the county lord how this house was built." Zhu Nan said happily.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked,"Fifth Brother, why do you want to know all this? I just want you to practice the way of governing the country well.”
Zhu Nan did not dare to say anything more and said in a low voice,"Yes, Father, I understand.“
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze fell on a small stall. He pointed at a pile of black things on the stall and said to the peddler,"Boss, get me a pot!“
Zhu Di, who was at the side, saw the black potion and asked in surprise,"Father, is this medicine? What's wrong with you?“
The surrounding people burst into laughter.
"Haha! Look! Another country bumpkin! You think Coke is medicine?"
"This is the biggest selling point of Fengyang County! What kind of medicine is this! What a joke!"
This sentence made Zhu Di's face darken. He had never been ridiculed like this before.
"What are you laughing at?"
Seeing how furious he was, everyone stopped looking at him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to persuade Zhu Di to calm down, but Zhu Di suddenly said,"This is a group of lawless fellows! What kind of person was this county magistrate? I think he's only so-so!"
As soon as he said this, many people heard it clearly. Zhu Yuanzhang also shouted,"Fourth Bro! What did you say?“
Who would have thought that not a single one of those commoners would be willing to give up.
"I think you're talking nonsense! How dare you point fingers at our county magistrate! Boss, stop selling him Coke!”
"That's right! Don't sell it!"
The owner of the Coca-Cola store said in exasperation,""Do I even need you to say that? Such a person dared to insult our county magistrate. I definitely won't sell him!”
"Good!" everyone shouted in unison.
Zhu Di and Zhu Nan were dumbfounded when they saw these people's reactions. When had they ever seen someone treat them as enemies because of a sentence from them?
Moreover, the other party looked aggressive! Especially Zhu Di, he saw hatred in everyone's eyes! Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen both knew that things were not good. They did not forget that Hu Weiyong was besieged by the entire Fengyang County because he opposed Chen Jingge. He had to drink water in the latrine for an entire month.
Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage and glared at Zhu Di."Fourth Bro! Quickly apologize to me!"
