Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

"Bullshit! You're talking nonsense!"

"You bitch! You damned bitch!"

"You're talking nonsense! I'm going to kill you!"

"I am going to kill you!!"

"Tianci is my child, he is my child!"

"He's my own son!"

Hu Weiyong shouted and yelled, appearing extremely frantic.

Like crazy.

The chains binding him rattled as he struggled.

His eyes were bloodshot at this moment, and he no longer had the slightest trace of his former composure.

There was no more of that gleeful feeling of wanting to disgust Zhu Yuanzhang and to destroy his spirit.

"Hahaha, Hu Weiyong! Stop deceiving yourself here!"
I gave birth to this child, and I, as his mother, know best how he came to be.

He's a bastard!

He's a complete bastard!

I borrowed it from someone!

Give me back your biological son? What biological son do you even have?

If you had that ability, would you only have one child by now?
Hu Weiyong!
Hahaha, you're a complete and utter piece of trash!

A piece of trash who deserves to be treated like this!
You've treated a bastard child like a treasure! You've raised him like your own son!
They even threatened to die for him!
Haha, it really is!

You call yourself a prime minister?
I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others if I tell anyone!

Madam Hu also laughed heartily, launching a merciless attack on Hu Weiyong.

They confronted each other head-on, refusing to give an inch.

She had been holding this grudge for many years.

He had always been careful to hide his true intentions, and acted according to Hu Weiyong's wishes.

Hu Weiyong, that guy, still has the nerve to complain about Tianci's death, to resent heaven and earth, to hate the emperor, and to hate those people in Jiangxi.

Do they resent the emperor's land survey?
In her opinion, the person she should hate the most is Hu Weiyong himself!

He insisted on sending his son to Jiangxi!

I have told him more than once to bring my son back.

Don't let your son stay in Jiangxi.

But he just wouldn't listen!

That's what ultimately led to the accident.
His own son is dead!

How could she feel good about her son's death?
Tianci is not Hu Weiyong's son, but he is her biological son!
She only had one child in her entire life!

How could she not be in pain?

As a result, her son died!
Her son could have easily survived.

It was because of Zhu Yuanzhang, that he acted recklessly and caused the death of his own son!
Every time he thinks about it, his heart aches uncontrollably.

I just feel extremely uncomfortable!

In the past, she could have tolerated such things.

You can suppress all these emotions in your heart and not show them.

But now, she really can't tolerate even the slightest bit more!

Things have come to this point; he's about to die, killed by Hu Weiyong.

Then why should she have to suffer such grievances anymore?
What is there that we dare not say out loud?
Since we're all going to die anyway, what's there to worry about?
Of course, we should say what we should say and do what we should do.

Even at this point, Hu Weiyong still wants to act arrogantly and maintain his dignity.

She wanted to continue doing what she had done before, always going along with him.

How can it be?

He, Hu Weiyong, is not the same prime minister he was before!

"You deserve to die! You filthy slut, you deserve to be torn to pieces!"

"You beast! You shameless woman!"

"It's all fake! It's all fake!"

Hu Weiyong seemed to have gone mad, shouting and cursing loudly.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at Liu Ying.

Liu Ying then had someone take Hu Weiyong's wife away.

"Hu Weiyong! You rebelled for the sake of his bastard child!"
Hahaha, that's really laughable!

Hu Weiyong, you deserve this!
Hu Weiyong, you cuckold!

Hu Weiyong, stop complaining and blaming everyone!

You're the one who killed Tianci!

As Liu Ying and the others led her away, Hu Weiyong's wife continued to hurl insults.

Each word was as cold as a knife.

It pierced Hu Weiyong's heart again and again.

The cursing didn't stop until they were completely gone.

Hu Weiyong became unusually quiet.

He stared blankly at the ground, without saying a word.

After a few moments, he collapsed to the ground.

He lay there, motionless.

It looks like it's dead.

"Xiao Hu, aren't you very grateful to us?"
I have keen insight and have told you the truth of the matter.

If it weren't for us, you, Xiao Hu, would have been kept in the dark all along.

Even on his deathbed, he still believed that Hu Tianci was his son.

This is bad. Our Ming Dynasty's prime minister cannot be so foolish.

They were manipulated at will.

We're not happy about these things.

You know, we didn't actually intend to tell you these things.

It's alright if you, Xiao Hu, are a bit of a fool.

But you, Xiao Hu, are not honest.

You insist on trying to test your skills against us, wanting to show off your abilities, Little Hu.

They want to pee on our face, they want to kill us and break our spirit, they want to make us feel terrible.

Since that's the case, then we won't stand on ceremony.

How's it going, Xiao Hu?

They can't beat us in this area, can they?
You're no good at verbal battles, and you're no good at physical battles.

You can't do anything right.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong and spoke.

Hu Weiyong lay on the ground, without saying a word.

He just stared blankly at the roof.

He seemed deaf or stupid.

The joy I felt when facing Zhu Yuanzhang was gone.

They no longer have the same arrogance as before.

Seeing Hu Weiyong's reaction, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a sense of satisfaction.

This time, he made Hu Weiyong feel comfortable.

In his past life, Hu Weiyong rebelled against himself and, through his own actions, unwittingly killed Liu Bowen.

Later, during the land survey in Jiangxi, he caused himself a lot of trouble.

Now that he's come back again, if we don't find a good way to give him a comfortable experience, it would be a disservice to all that Hu Weiyong has done!

Zhu Yuanzhang left, and the prison door was closed and locked.

Hu Weiyong lay there staring blankly at the ceiling, looking completely dazed.

After a long while, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes.

The tears flowed more and more.

Finally, his temples were completely soaked...

……

The capital city was bustling with activity for the next few days.

A large number of people were arrested.

In particular, the Central Secretariat was emptied out by more than half.

The court sessions were rather quiet.

However, no one had any objection to these points.

After all, Hu Weiyong, the prime minister who had controlled the Secretariat for many years, had actually committed treason.

It's perfectly normal for the emperor to take drastic measures and carry out rectification at this time.

Even Hu Weiyong, the Chancellor of the Secretariat, was able to rebel.

It's no surprise that so many people in the Secretariat were implicated.

However, there were also people who surprised them.

That was Imperial Censor Chen Ning.

Normally speaking, the position of Imperial Censor was specifically created to monitor the Prime Minister.

It was used to restrain the prime minister.

As a result, Chen Ning, the Imperial Censor who should have been checking the Prime Minister, has instead become Hu Weiyong's lackey.

This is really going too far.

How could the emperor possibly tolerate this?

Many people were surprised by this.

Chen Ning and Hu Weiyong usually put on a very convincing act, leaving no trace of their true intentions.

Who would have thought they would secretly do such a dirty trick!

While some were surprised, others were waiting for the emperor's thunderous wrath to follow.

Thinking about this incident, how to end it, and how many people will die because of it.

They were worried that the matter would implicate them.

In other cases, the emperor's involvement was never small.

They could often kill a person in droves, with blood flowing like a river.

This was a major case of rebellion, and it was even the prime minister who rebelled.

With so many high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty involved, wouldn't the whole country be in turmoil?
In contrast to the surprise and worry of these people, Zhu Liangzu felt none of these feelings.

At this time, Zhu Liangzu was still very confident and dreaming.

Waiting for Hu Weiyong's rebellion to succeed.

They were able to obtain news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death from here.

He then raised an army and helped Hu Weiyong seize Zhu Yuanzhang's throne.

And hold onto it, so you can vent your anger.

No more feeling so stifled!
He remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's grudge very clearly.

Blood feuds can only be avenged with blood!

That bastard Zhu Yuanzhang, he really let himself down.

The only recourse is blood for blood.

He was very confident about Hu Weiyong's rebellion and killing of the emperor.

Because he knew that Hu Weiyong had always been a cautious person.

Unless one is very confident about something, they generally won't take action.

Many of the things Hu Weiyong said earlier were indeed reasonable.

There are countless people in the world who hate Zhu Yuanzhang.

If he can kill Zhu Yuanzhang this time, then everything else will be trivial.

The Zhu family was only kept afloat by that beast Zhu Yuanzhang.

Without Zhu Yuanzhang, the Zhu family's empire would be easily seized by them, and no one could hold onto it.

Even if Hu Weiyong fails, so what?

Even if Hu Weiyong fails, he will not expose himself and others.

After all, Hu Weiyong had made things very clear to them and made corresponding promises beforehand.

If things don't go well, Hu Weiyong will have to shoulder all the blame alone.

They did not reveal themselves or others.

He could continue to be a marquis.

He was still in a great mood.

I've been closely monitoring the situation in the capital recently.

We can only hope that Hu Weiyong will take action soon and that news of his success will arrive.

When that time comes, it will be his moment to finally stand tall and triumph!
In fact, Zhu Liangzu was not the only one with these thoughts.

Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju, Lu Zhongheng, and many others shared the same thoughts.

In their eyes, this time, even Heaven itself wanted to destroy that bastard Zhu Yuanzhang!
The previous incident kept them confined in the capital for so long, and they were never allowed to lead troops.

Now that I think of it, I've sent them to lead troops in the local areas.

That's way too late!
These people had long been fed up with Zhu Yuanzhang!

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang granting military power to his associates was tantamount to courting death.

It's a weapon meant to kill him!

It seems even Heaven couldn't stand the mess Zhu Yuanzhang had made.

Therefore, they needed to use their own hands to kill Zhu Yuanzhang.

They seized Zhu Yuanzhang's empire!

The more I think about it, the more I realize that it's the right thing to do.

As I was thinking this, someone reported that an angel had arrived.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Liangzu was taken aback.

He seemed surprised.

He truly hadn't expected that an angel would appear at this moment!
He did not immediately go out to greet the angel, but sat there without saying a word.

Clearly, he was already deep in thought.

At this time, I wondered why Zhu Yuanzhang sent an angel.

"Has any other news come from the capital?"

Zhu Liangzu looked at his trusted confidants and asked a question.

This trusted confidant was mainly responsible for gathering information about the situation in the capital.

We are closely monitoring the situation in the capital.

To prevent him from being unaware of any disturbances in the capital and thus missing out on important matters.

"Reporting to the Marquis, no."

In the capital, things remain the same; there's been no movement.

After hearing what the man said, Zhu Liangzu nodded and no longer hesitated.

The slight worry in my heart also disappeared.

I think I overthought this matter.

It's impossible for Hu Weiyong to make a move, let alone so quickly.

The opportunity to kill Zhu Yuanzhang should not have appeared so quickly.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy, which suggests that Hu Weiyong's actions were not the cause of the incident and that the attempt had failed.

Meanwhile, the emperor learned of the relationship between himself and Hu Weiyong.

They want to come and kill me.

After all, he had never had any correspondence with Hu Weiyong.

Besides, Hu Weiyong is a pretty decent person, quite righteous.

Since they said that before, it's unlikely they would break their promise and betray us.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Hu Weiyong had already made a move at this point...

Instead of killing Zhu Yuanzhang, they were killed by him.

Moreover, Hu Weiyong betrayed his promise and implicated him.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's men couldn't have arrived so quickly!

I can keep a close eye on what's happening in the capital.

Even if they could arrive that quickly, I still wouldn't have any evidence to offer Zhu Yuanzhang to investigate!

So, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible that they're here to arrest me!

Zhu Yuanzhang must have had some other reason for sending an envoy at this time.

I must not overthink things, and I absolutely must not lose my composure!
Before things fall apart, many things are easy to talk about.

If you lose control of your own side, you'll fall into disarray.

That would make things difficult.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Not only would they risk death if they were exposed, but they would also be exposed as a potential victim of crime.

Most importantly, the opportunity to kill Zhu Yuanzhang would be wasted as a result.

If that were the case, the sin would be enormous!

This was the only chance to kill Zhu Yuanzhang.

Having made up his mind, he quickly led his men out of the camp to meet the envoy sent by Zhu Yuanzhang… (End of Chapter)
