Chapter 5 Elk (3)
Hearing the sound of the prison door opening, Hu Weiyong laughed softly. Since the North Army landed onshore, he has been waiting for this day. Every day, he has watched his old subordinates come in or be raised, listen to his family's complaints and the cry of the timids, so annoyed that he wished he could leave this world the next day. If you lose, you will lose? If you have anything to say, will others believe it if you shirke him? So when he was interrogated, he admitted all the charges of crimes. He neither randomly nor defended those who were implicated.
He was waiting to see Zhu Yuanzhang destroy his own country, so that he would have the pleasure of revenge. Are you loyal ministers? Differently, you were executed? Unexpectedly, Wu Anguo, who had been suppressed by him, actually pleaded with his gangsters. Xu Da, who had always disliked civil servants, would actually write a letter to excuse the wronged. The news came one by one, making Hu Weiyong wonder whether he was dreaming several times. The "dream" became more and more bizarre. Next, he had always had a good relationship with him, but there was no evidence to prove that his Marquis of Ji'an, Marquis of Nanxiong, Marquis of Nanxiong, and Marquis of Nanxiong, and Marquis of Nandong, were released from prison one after another and sent to the Liaodong Army to listen. Marquis of Yichun, Marquis of Lu Bin, Marquis of Henan, and Marquis of Henan, were restored to his post. When the prince was doubled, he personally took pictures of the last group of Hu Weiyong and tied the last group with Hu Weiyong.
When the officials who were not deep in depth were "rehabilitated", Hu Weiyong knew that he had not had much time left. What made him hate was that some officials who flattered him all day long for fear of falling behind him never came back to visit him after being released between the crowd. However, some people who were not very close would send some wine and food from time to time. Yesterday, someone had already notified him of the results of the court meeting. To his expectations, he did not treat the Hu family as sternly as he did in previous dynasties, but gave poisoned wine for his years of responsibility. In addition to marrying into Li Shanchang's younger daughter, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been cruel, actually left a little more blood for the Hu family and pardoned his underage young son. Has the emperor changed his sex? Everything is incredible!
The incredible thing must be a conceivable reason. Hu Weiyong was not stupid. He asked directly at the man in gray who was sending the message, "What are the emperor's instructions?"
The visitor smiled, turned his face and praised, "No wonder the emperor always called Hu Xiang smart, and dealing with smart people is really effortless. The emperor asked you to do something for him in the end. Whether or not you do it depends on Hu Xiang's meaning."
He ignored the cry of his family's separation in the nearby prison cell, Hu Weiyong agreed. The condition proposed was to change to a clean cell, stay away from his family, buy a table of wine and food for his family, and change each person to clean clothes.
The man in gray met his requirements. "Hu Xiang once made contributions to the country, and a certain family could still make the decision on this small matter. The wine can only take half a stick of incense when you put it in a glass of wine, so Hu Xiang doesn't have to worry."
This person is an expert in poison. Hu Weiyong's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to the man in gray, turned around and dragged his hand to the side to rest. It would be better for me to see this person again. In this life, I have seen countless people. The only time I was in a chess game. I lost all the game. God would not bless me, so what if I did.
"General Wu, can I open the shackles for me and make it more comfortable to go on the road?" In this temporarily vacated room, Hu Weiyong heard Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict and thanked him for his kindness, and calmly asked Wu Anguo, who was ordered to come to punish him.
Wu Anguo looked at the officials on both sides of the entourage and waved his hand to call the prison guards to remove the constraints on Hu Weiyong. Although he had seen blood from both sides on the battlefield, he had never killed his own tribe members. Although the person in front of him was said to have killed his enemy who had never met his father-in-law, and although many people in the court and the public believed that Hu Weiyong's death in his hands was a retribution for the cycle of laws of nature, he was still unwilling to do this.
"Sit", Hu Weiyong stretched out his limbs that had been imprisoned for several months, and found the most comfortable position to sit down. Then he began to greet everyone, not like a prisoner about to die, but like a host of a hospitality at a banquet.
Everyone looked at the table in front of Hu Weiyong that Song Liannian had delivered the food on the road in the old days and refused awkwardly.
"Wuhou refused to reward me for being a dying man. Is this a dying man? I am basically a colleague of mine. I poisoned him and forced his son to death. Half of his son came to send me on the way. It's fair, so why should I be humble?" Hu Weiyong looked at Wu Anguo's confused look and said happily. After seeing this, the uninformed person really couldn't guess who was in charge of the punishment.
Wu Anguo breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground at Hu Weiyong. A cup of poisonous wine and a jar of aged daughter Hong were placed in front of the two.
Hu Weiyong picked up his daughter Hong, poured a bowl for himself and Wu Anguo. He raised the wine bowl in front of him and said to Wu Anguo: "For this first bowl of wine, Mr. Xie Wu said that he would save my relatives and friends. Others blame you for harming me, but I am not a person who is unreasonable." As he said that, he drank it all in one gulp and lit the bottom of the bowl at Wu Anguo.
Wu Anguo smiled bitterly and accompanied him to a bowl. The two of them gave in a few bites of the dishes. It was still early and there was still time to evaluate the chef's skills. The officials behind him shook their heads. Hu Weiyong was venting his dying days. Why did you, Marquis Wu, go crazy? That's your enemy.
After eating for a while, Hu Weiyong filled two more bowls, raised his glass and said, "I and the people in the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat have prevented your fame and fortune. Not only do you ignore your past grudges, but you have made grievances for everyone. I admire this kind of mind. Unfortunately, I am poor and I can't let you use it for me. Come on, let's have another cup of wine."
"Bold", Song Shen, who had just been released from prison, shouted loudly and scolded: "You old man, the crime of rebellion, should be the nine tribes. The emperor remembers that you have some small achievements. If you do not destroy your clan, you are the benevolent kings of ancient times. You do not want to repent, and you will still have a dream of spring and autumn until you die. Wuhou, don't pay attention to this mess, just send him on the way." Speaking of the excitement, he accidentally stepped on the court ward of Wu'anguo and almost tripped himself. He is Song Lian's grandson. Song Lian has a rippling leg and foot. Usually he and his father Song Sui support him to court. The family of grandchildren and grandchildren are in charge of the same palace. This time, Hu Weiyong usually envies Song Lian's knowledge, and the two families have many contacts. This time, their grandchildren were implicated. If it weren't for Wu'anguo's righteousness, they would have been killed several times.
Wu Anguo supported Song Shen, and suddenly saw Song Shen winking himself. He heard someone behind him coughing and saying, "You are so careless, why are you so careless?"
With a gentle smile, Wu Anguo helped Song Shen firmly, but said to Hu Weiyong: "I dare not, Wu is not open-minded, but is to keep the wise for the country. You are the prime minister of the dynasty. These people usually support you for the country, not your followers. The ancients said: You cannot be self-relative and harm state affairs. Wu pleads for them for the country, and it has nothing to do with your heart and demeanor."
"In this way, I admire you three points more. It's a pity for me to be honest with my husband." Hu Weiyong glanced at the person behind Wu'anguo and said angrily: "I am just a little bit less lucky than the current emperor. Now I am willing to lose. Any of you who are usually respectful when you see me? Now I will teach you a lesson. If I rebel successfully, you should come over and bow three times and bow nine times. Humph! Come on, Wuhou, I will respect you no longer have the body that is neither humble nor arrogant. If I become the emperor, I will rely on a hero like you." He was originally the leader of civil servants, and his beard has his own temperament. Now that he has let go of life and death, he has more majesty and his eyes are bright, which makes the officials speechless.
"Wu can't accompany you in this bowl of wine, so the Prime Minister will do whatever he wants." Wu Anguo heard that the people behind him were scolded by Hu Weiyong and he pushed the wine bowl away as if he was deliberately venting his anger to everyone. "Even if the Prime Minister succeeds in the chaos, we will not follow you. Wu saves your child servant, which is the law of the Ming Dynasty. As for the Prime Minister, Wu not only does not save him, but also advises long live to kill you as soon as possible."
"You have helped the emperor kill me. I dare not blame you, but I want to ask you why I don't follow me? Is the current official who is better than my official official? I have done a great debauchery, so I don't care about these great debauchery words. People are about to die, and their words are good, but please give a comment. For example, the emperor today should not blame you."
Wu Anguo shook his head and sighed: "Until now you don't understand that the emperor is a hero who is a righteous man, expels the Tartars, and saves the Chinese people from the fire and water. He is a great hero. Wu is willing to be driven by him. However, for his own selfish interests, you collude with the Tartars and affair with Japanese pirates. You are a shameless person and will not follow you. Wu is a good man with little ink in his belly, but he also knows the word "shame". You must know that the world is not your Hu family. You use the blessing of the people in the world to bet on your yellow robe. Doesn't the Prime Minister think this is despicable? Wu understands today and can tell you, don't say that you will not succeed by luck. Even if you are lucky, Wu will definitely promote the righteous army to restore the country's hatred and meet you in person."
Hu Weiyong's hand trembled twice, and half a bowl of wine poured on the ground. Wu Anguo's words were righteous and stern, which made his face's newly established self-esteem was broken again. With three points of anger and three points of quibbling, Hu Weiyong said again: "The Emperor Gaozu of Tang also surrendered to the Turks back then, which was just a temporary solution! Hu had a great success and would naturally draw a clear line with the Mongols."
"The final perfect ending does not come from the right method. This harm is greater. Moreover, if Emperor Gaozu of Tang could do it, not everyone would be able to do it. If it weren't for Shi Jingtang, the shameless person who cut off the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for his own selfish interests, the people of the Central Plains would not have ended up being destroyed in the country and the family was destroyed. You know how many innocent people died under the iron hoof of the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia. I tell you, it is 60 million! So far, there have been many places in Henan and Hebei. Have you seen those broken walls and silences? Have you seen those broken walls and silences? Just be a bullshit emperor for you, and be worshipped for your children and grandchildren as soon as they were born, so that so many wives and children were separated and their families were destroyed. Ask yourself, is it worth it! Also standing under the sky, why is the happiness of your family so noble on the whole earth? Others' happiness can be sacrificed and trampled on at will?"
"This", Hu Weiyong was speechless for a moment and forgot his original purpose. He murmured: "I am the emperor and dare not say that he is a hero of a generation. At least he will not scold the ministers in court and humiliate his gentleness."
"Will you be an emperor be good? Who can guarantee that? If you are not good, you will turn against each other and refuse to admit your conspiracy? Who can supervise? If you are an emperor, you will try hard to be a good emperor. Can you guarantee that your son is still a good emperor? Can you guarantee that your grandson is still a good emperor? Can you guarantee that your descendants are all good emperors? No! Since you cannot, you are not qualified to instigate others to commit this rebellion with you. Since it is for your own wealth, don't make any excuses to put gold on your face." Wu Anguo's voice became more and more angry, and his voice almost shocked the roof of the house.
Porn. At first, everyone wanted to persuade him to speak carefully, but later they heard the debate between him and Hu Weiyong. When it comes to imperial power, they usually mention destiny, but Wu'anguo did not. In that loud angrily shout, there was only care for people, no heaven, and no destiny. This view was really new in the eyes of everyone, but they did not know that in the century of Wu'anguo, all emperors, whether virtuous or foolish, had long been moved from the altar. In the eyes of Wu'anguo, there was only a difference between competent and incompetent. In the final analysis, they were just dictators and nothing to be praised.
Hu Weiyong poured himself a few bowls of wine, and his pale face slowly recovered from his anger. He let out a long sigh and asked unwillingly, "It's easy to talk to others. Is it easy to talk to the White Tiger when you hit the white tiger and face the picturesque country, you are not moved at all?"
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone woke up from Wu Anguo's previous words. A chair squeaked in the room next door, and then a few cats cried. I don't know why the prison chief was so idle, but he actually kept a cat in the prison.
"It's getting late, so the Prime Minister should go on the road quickly. Don't let your family wait too quickly," Song Shen coughed heavily and said, clearing his throat.
"No hurry, I just want to hear the truth from the Marquis of Wu, who is both civil and military."
"I don't believe in destiny. The white tiger is very common overseas and will be kept in captivity. It is just a kind of tiger. There is nothing to be surprised about. As for the picturesque country, I do love it very much. It is because of love that I don't want to see the blood of our killing each other dye it red; so I can't tolerate someone betray him for his own selfish interests; so I can't help defending him at all costs; so I can't forget him anywhere I go; so even if I'm thousands of miles away, I can't be happy to hear his misfortune. Prime Minister, I'm moved not to have it, but to defend, build, and make him better year by year. This country is not from any family or family, but from all descendants of China. If you destroy this country, no matter where you go, how much money you have, or how high the official you are, your descendants will be looked down upon and will also bear the name of a prodigal son."
The entire cell was silent and silent, and the cat next door was moved and stopped making noise. After a while, Hu Weiyong picked up the wine cup, smiled bitterly, and said, "The ancients said that it is okay to die in the morning. Hu finally heard this, and he would die without any shock. This wine should not be persuaded." He raised his glass and drank it all.
In the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the table in the imperial study and kept looking through the memorials on the table. One was praised by the ministers for their immortality, the Hu Weiyong clan, which was a rare benevolent king in ancient and modern times, and the other was not very regular. At first glance, it was a secret note. The note clearly recorded every conversation between Wu Anguo and Hu Weiyong. The copper tube installed on the wall of the cell clearly passed the conversation between the two to the next door, and several high-level Jinyiwei recorded the entire process truthfully.
