Chapter 147
Hu Weiyong, are you also doing this with women?
Chapter 147 Hu Weiyong, are you also giving women away as gifts?
"But you all are so weird. Why do you just watch me eat and not eat yourselves?" Chu Nan was speechless. Don't these people like to eat?
"Then you guys take your time eating. I'm full and going back home to sleep."
we eat?
But Hu Weiyong was confused when he heard this. We are still eating? Just watching you guys eat makes me feel full!
When Hu Weiyong heard Chu Nan say he was leaving, he was even more shocked. Are you really stupid or just pretending? You want to leave right away. Do you really think we are here to treat you to a meal?
"Lord Chu, wait a minute." At this time, Hu Weiyong really couldn't help it, and looked at Chu Nan and asked.
"Don't leave in a hurry. I want to ask you what order His Majesty has ordered you to come back as an imperial envoy."
"His Majesty said that he wanted you to come back and thoroughly investigate the officials who were not doing their job in Beijing, but do you have any other instructions?"
It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang announced to the public that he wanted Chu Nan to return to Beijing to investigate a group of inactive officials, but Hu Weiyong had already known the news and was not investigating this, so he asked Chu Nan directly.
"Of course there are other intentions." Chu Nan laughed when he heard Hu Weiyong's words.
"Your Majesty's order is for me to thoroughly investigate the recent incident of someone in Jinling with ill intentions. Jinling has been very unstable recently. It is said that there are undercurrents. Even the Queen has left Jinling and gone to the grassland to seek protection from Your Majesty."
"So how can Your Majesty not order a thorough investigation? Don't you think so, Lord Hu..."
As he spoke, Chu Nan suddenly stared at Hu Weiyong, as if he could see through everything: "Sir Hu, the Queen can feel it. As the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, don't tell me that you know nothing, okay?"
"This..." Upon hearing this, Tu Jie and Chen Ning frowned. It was difficult to answer Chu Nan's question.
If he said he didn't know, he would definitely be lying, because Empress Ma had run away. Even if he refused to admit that he didn't know, Zhu Yuanzhang would still be suspicious of him.
In other words, the Queen said this, and you, as the Prime Minister, don't know? So you mean the Queen is lying?
So answering “I don’t know” is absolutely not acceptable.
But answering that he knew was not okay either. Hu Weiyong answered that he knew but did not report it to Zhu Yuanzhang. That meant he was concealing the facts, which was also a serious crime.
So it’s hard to answer now.
"Haha." Seeing Chu Nan ask this, Hu Weiyong didn't think it was a dilemma. He just laughed.
"Master Chu, as the Prime Minister, how could I not know about this? Of course I know."
"Do you know why you didn't report it to His Majesty?" Chu Nan didn't give Hu Weiyong any room and asked directly.
"Could it be that Lord Hu wants to hide it from His Majesty? This would be disloyal to His Majesty." At the same time, he put a big hat on him.
really!
When Tu Jie and Chen Ning frowned, they knew they knew that this situation would occur.
The other officials also frowned when they saw it. Chu Nan's questions were clear and logical. He didn't look like the good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat.
Now it depends on how Hu Weiyong answers. If he is not careful, it will arouse His Majesty's fear.
"Hahahaha!" But facing Chu Nan's question, Hu Weiyong's face remained calm.
"Lord Chu, you misunderstood. As the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, how could Hu be disloyal to His Majesty?"
"In fact, Hu has known about this matter for a long time and has been investigating it for a long time, but the investigation is not yet complete, so I have not reported it to Your Majesty yet."
"As a minister, you must share the worries of your majesty. If you tell your majesty that something is not done well, wouldn't that only add to your majesty's worries? Hu believes that this is truly disloyal to your majesty!"
Good answer!
When everyone present heard Hu Weiyong's words, they praised him. He was worthy of being Prime Minister Hu, as his answer was flawless.
"Oh?" But after hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Chu Nan laughed?
"So what Prime Minister Hu means is that there is someone else plotting in Nanjing?" "Of course!" Hu Weiyong answered firmly.
"Oh, who is that? Please tell me, Minister Hu." Chu Nan looked curious.
"This person?" Hu Weiyong didn't speak loudly when he saw Chu Nan asking this. Instead, he went to Chu Nan's side and whispered.
"Lord Chu, this person is Yang Xian." Because the voice was spoken softly, no one around heard it.
"Oh, it's him?" Chu Nan heard it carefully, but there was not much surprise on his face. Instead, he looked at Hu Weiyong and sneered.
"Master Hu, do you think Chu is young and want to deceive me? He has already lost his power, how can he still do these things?"
"Master Hu, the person who did these things in Jinling must be a powerful person!"
There was disbelief in Chu Nan's eyes. He was not a fool and he knew history. Hu Weiyong wanted to rebel, so the incident in Nanjing must be related to him.
And Yang Xian must have been pushed forward by him as a shield, so Chu Nan just didn't believe it at all.
However, Chu Nan also had to learn to protect himself, so while he showed his ability through disbelief, he only questioned Hu Weiyong without naming anyone, so as not to completely offend Hu Weiyong.
"Hahahaha!" Seeing Chu Nan ask this, Hu Weiyong also laughed.
"It's normal for Lord Chu not to believe it. After all, I didn't believe it when I first learned about this. How can a person who has lost his power still have such great power?"
"But don't worry, I will report this to His Majesty sooner or later!"
"But..." As he said this, Hu Weiyong looked at Chu Nan again, with a smile in his eyes.
"Lord Chu, since you have come to my Hu Weiyong's residence, we are friends now. I should take care of you in the court in the future."
"And today, I have nothing to give you. I heard that Lord Chu has not married yet, and I do not expect my daughter to become Lord Chu's wife. After all, I heard that Princess Lin'an favors Lord Chu, so how can the children of the Hu family dare to compete with him?"
"But Hu has a niece who is eighteen years old and very beautiful. When she heard that Lord Chu was young and promising, she fell in love with him at first sight and was willing to be his servant. I wonder if Lord Chu would like to..."
Then, Hu Weiyong clapped his hands: "Hu Meng, come out!"
"Uncle, here I am!" A silver bell-like voice rang out, and then a woman who was seven feet tall, with very long legs, a bulging chest, fair skin and a beautiful face appeared in front of Chu Nan.
"Wow!" Many officials present were amazed when they saw this woman.
"It's really top-notch!"
They have seen many beauties, but such a beauty is rare.
"She is indeed a beauty." Chu Nan also frowned when he saw Hu Meng.
Hu Mengsheng is indeed prettier than Zhu Jingjing, especially since she is already eighteen years old. She has almost everything that one should have. Any man would be moved when seeing her, especially a virgin like Chu Nan.
But could someone like Hu Weiyong have such a beautiful niece? Chu Nan felt that the matter was not that simple.
