Chapter 385 The Ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang! The Storm Is Coming!
Chapter 385 The ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang! The storm is about to rise!
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was full of anger and Mao Xiang was worried, the eunuch hurried back.
Outside the main hall, Left Prime Minister Wang Guangyang stood at the door with a nervous look on his face.
After the eunuch entered the palace, he bravely said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has gone to inspect the defense and is not in the city. The left minister is waiting outside right now.
It's a coincidence that if Zhu Yuanzhang loses his temper when something happens, he can calm down with Empress Ma's comfort or Zhu Biao's advice.
But this time, it was not convenient for Queen Ma to interfere in the government affairs, so she couldn't interfere at all.
Zhu Biao, however, was away because he was inspecting defense. For a time, no one who could dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang was around.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath, suppressed his anger, and shouted outside.
"Now that you're here, get in!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's unkind tone of voice, Wang Guangyang became even more flustered and hurriedly entered the palace.
But as soon as he came in, before he even bothered to salute, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question.
"Tell us, how is Hu Weiyong managing the center recently?"
In fact, Wang Guangyang should be the main errand of the central committee, with Hu Weiyong as the assistant.
It was just that Wang Guangyang was older and understood that Zhu Yuanzhang intended to support Hu Weiyong, so he voluntarily gave up his power.
As time went by, he, the left prime minister who was supposed to be a real power, became a spectator in name only.
When Zhu Yuanzhang asked this today, he knew that it was Hu Weiyong who caused some trouble.
But he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, and besides, Hu Weiyong had too many cronies, so he should never offend him.
So after some weighing, Wang Guangyang explained to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I am old and cannot be reused. I have been taking care of my health recently and have not paid much attention to the court affairs. However, I think Hu Xiang is a close minister of His Majesty, so he should not betray His Majesty."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this sentence, he felt as if he had eaten a fly.
He stared at Wang Guangyang, who was so frightened that he lowered his head and his legs were shaking under his robe.
He hesitated, not knowing whether he should say anything more, but he already spoke.
"Are you sick? Did Hu Weiyong go to School Disciple to diagnose your illness?"
There was no reason for his words, which made Wang Guangyang even more confused about Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning.
He looked timidly at Mao Xiang, hoping to get some hints from him, but the latter lowered his head and remained silent at the moment, ignoring his request for help.
In desperation, Wang Guangyang gritted his teeth and could only speak directly.
"I don't have any friendship with Prime Minister Hu, so naturally he won't come to School Disciple to diagnose my illness.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, becoming more convinced that Liu Bowen's death was inextricably linked to Hu Weiyong.
He said sadly: "If he doesn't have any friendship with you, then he has one with Mr. Qingtian?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Wang Guangyang even more confused.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's naked question.
"Do you know that he poisoned Liu Bowen?"
These words were like thunder, making Wang Guangyang stunned instantly.
He opened and closed his mouth several times, but could not speak. In the end, he could only kowtow to express his cowardice and innocence.
Seeing his appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more angry.
He believed that Wang Guangyang was not Hu Weiyong's party member, but he definitely had something to do with Hu Weiyong.
Moreover, without Wang Guangyang's indulgence, how could the current situation be like this?
Thinking of Liu Bowen's death and the current situation in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to chop Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong alive.
He clenched his fists and stared at Wang Guangyang for a long time before speaking.
"We don't care if you really don't know anything. You should be pretending to be stupid. We gave you the opportunity! It's your fault that you don't know how to cherish the relationship between the king and his ministers. You can't blame us!"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and a guard immediately stepped forward to restrain Wang Guangyang.
Wang Guangyang was a little confused at first, and when he was pulled like this, his legs were immediately weak from fright.
He asked loudly: "Your Majesty, what crime have you committed?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hear this, which was fine, but when he heard that Wang Guangyang actually asked him this, he immediately became even more angry.
He pointed at Wang Guangyang and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to ask us!"
Just as Wang Guangyang was about to argue, he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an order.
"Publish the decree, Wang Guangyang is deeply indebted to me, made friends with his friends, deceived the emperor, and ignored his superiors. In memory of his past achievements, he was deprived of his official position, title, and exiled to the border!"
After the edict was finished, someone had already finished copying it.
Mao Xiang was worried, fearing that he would also be implicated. After all, if he were to be held accountable, he would not be able to escape the guilt of his own negligence.
Just as he was complaining in his heart, Wang Guangyang had been dragged out.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the dragon chair, his expression became a little lonely.
"Why is this so? We originally wanted to learn from Emperor Taizong of Tang and Song Taizu, so that they would not lose their wealth. Why can't we be satisfied with them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's murmur aroused the alarm of hair follicles......
He knew that not only Hu Weiyong, but also many heroes and relatives would be unlucky this time.
He rose up the ranks little by little in the army, and later stayed with Zhu Yuanzhang as a pro-soldier, and that was how he got his later opportunities.
Therefore, he was familiar with the generals in the army and many courtiers. At this moment, thinking about what might happen in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but he didn't dare to reveal it at all.
Just as he was thinking in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang had already spoken again.
"No, just letting him go into exile will still give him an advantage!"
"Besides, he's still alive, so I don't know what trouble he's going to cause in the future!"
After muttering two words in succession, Wang Guangyang's life and death had been decided.
Mao Xiang's heart sank, and he only waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke quickly and gave his instructions.
"Mao Xiang, go catch up with Wang Guangyang in person. Let's settle it with a glass of wine!"
The meaning of these words was clearly to poison Wang Guangyang.
But Zhu Yuanzhang had already said it, so Mao Xiang naturally did not dare to refuse, so he quickly agreed and left quickly.
In the main hall, the eunuchs knelt on the floor, not even daring to breathe.
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes tightly, his expression full of loneliness. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had become a loner.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch: "How long has the prince been away? When will he be back?"
The eunuch quickly told the truth what he knew.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "It's okay if he's not here, lest he feel unbearable!"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang told the eunuch: "Go and summon the prince and tell him that he has been working hard recently and there is no need to rush. It is also good to let him rest outside for a few days!"
The eunuch agreed and hurried out to summon him.
With the issuance of the oral edict, the first political storm of the Ming Dynasty was already brewing.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked frightening at this moment, and his heart was like a thunderstorm.
In the huge palace, no one dared to speak or make any move, for fear of stimulating Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally let out a sigh, seemingly pouring out all his unwillingness.
