I think I am in charge, but I am just a clown.

Hu was very happy recently because he finally became prime minister.

In this life, if you can't be a founding emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, it's really a good thing to be a powerful prime minister.

Hu is still a little proud. You Zhu Yuanzhang worked so hard to lick the blood into the farmland, not just to make him prime minister.

So what if you are the emperor?

I have the right!

In fact, I have a pair of eyes staring at Hu for a long time.

A disgraceful past

It is not easy for Hu to climb the position of prime minister. When he took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was still working under Guo Zixing, so he should be an early civil servant under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang never took him seriously, only asked him to deliver letters and organize documents.

Ten years later, I was just a middle-level official.

Hu, of course, is unwilling. I risked decapitation to accompany you to revolt. Isn't it just to be a middle-level official?

If you Zhu Yuanzhang is still a general, that's it. You're already king, okay?

Am I not one of you? I didn't do it. Why? Am I not your "baby"?

Li Shanchang, another "baby" of Zhu Yuanzhang, is already the right prime minister.

Hu thought: Yes, I am a "related household" and I took the back door.

Hu and Li Shanchang are fellow villagers, and Hu walked into Li Shanchang's home with the specialties and money from his hometown.

When the villagers saw the villagers, their eyes were full of tears.

Hu took Li Shanchang's hand and cried that he had been treated unfairly in recent years.

After working for the king of Wu (Zhu Yuanzhang) for so many years, the king of Wu doesn't like himself at all, and he doesn't have the consciousness to comfort his employees.

Li Shanchang thought his fellow villagers were miserable, too. He's been around for more than ten years, and he hasn't even met his boss several times.

On second thought, Liu Bowen's East Zhejiang School has attracted more and more attention.

And his own Huaixi faction doesn't seem to have a particularly effective assistant. Who is more reassuring than his hometown?

Besides, this Hu is definitely not an idiot.

At this moment, Li Shanchang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, it's my treat."

Li Shanchang didn't speak casually. With the help of Li Shanchang, Hu quickly entered Zhongshu Province as a political participant (deputy prime minister).

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the contradiction between the two sides became more acute.

Li Shanchang is the head of Huaixi School and Liu Bowen is the head of Dong Zhe School.

As the backbone of Huaixi School, Hu certainly wants to keep his "big tree" to enjoy the cool.

He married his niece to Li Shanchang's son and his daughter to Li Shanchang's brother.

A pair of eyes have been quietly looking at these two people, just looking at all this.

Hidden ambition

When Hu participates in politics, of course, he should actively contribute to Huaixi and speak ill of Zhedong School.

You can read a book about Liu Bowen if you have something to do. Today, you said he was ambitious. Tomorrow, you say he despises the boss. There's really nothing to say. Just say that Liu Bowen has occupied a piece of kingly land.

Anyway, it is to kill Liu Bowen and attack the eastern Zhejiang faction.

Although Liu Bowen didn't speak well of him, he told Zhu Yuanzhang that he was ambitious, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen to Liu Bowen.

Soon, Hu finally got the long-awaited post of prime minister.

He was cautious at first, because none of his predecessors had a good end.

Some were ordered to go home for retirement, some were exiled, and some were killed.

Six years after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Zhu Yuanzhang became the fifth prime minister of Hu Zai.

Hu thought: does my boss have a hidden disease that trapped the prime minister?

It's better to be good, after all, it's already Zhu Yuanzhang's first "baby".

Everything he did should be reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Boss, do you think this is ok?"

"Boss, do you think I will do it?"

"Boss, I'll do it if you agree."

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually quite satisfied, but it took a long time.

Hu is the prime minister, actually a senior official. ...

It's swollen

Anyone with so much power will be very proud at first, and then a group of people will please him because of his power.

Because of these flatteries, he is eager for more power, so that more people will please him.

At this time, Hu is more powerful than his predecessors, naturally more proud and more prone to inflation.

He thinks he is good at it, but in fact he has a pair of eyes watching it silently.

An irresistible desire

Since Hu was promoted by his boss, he always felt that his life was as smooth as hanging up the phone.

The boss is not only satisfied with him, but also often praises him. His colleagues hold him like a bouquet every day, and there are a large number of followers who can come and go at any time.

He thought that he had worked hard for so many years and should enjoy the pleasure of enjoying power.

First, he began to be greedy for some money, and then he became more and more greedy.

His boss didn't notice.

Then he began to cultivate his cronies. Why did the leader of Huaixi School want Li Shanchang?

Can't I be myself?

Hu began to form gangs, and everyone ate and drank, called each other brothers and swore allegiance to Hu.

As soon as Hu is happy, this promotion will become a pie.

Everyone rushed to join Hu's club.

His boss didn't notice.

Finally, Hu began to interfere with his boss's rights, and the boss read the paper first.

Hu automatically filters and blocks a series of keywords such as "impeaching Hu", "Hu guilty" and "Hu breaking the law".

His boss hasn't found out yet.

Hu was ambitious, tried his best to blindfold his boss and became prime minister for seven years.

Hu simply felt that he was worse than a fairy.

He is too clever and his predecessor is too stupid to think of a more reasonable explanation.

Those eyes showed some smiles and still looked at him quietly.

This is just a performance.

That day, Hu came home from work happily and heard the servant report to him: "Young Master has left."

"What?"

"Master didn't ..." The servant repeated.

"What's the matter?" Hu Weiyong grabbed the servant by the collar and stared at him.

"Young master fell from the carriage and died."

I'm kidding, carriage. Not Bugatti Veyron. Can my son still sit on the roof?

Drivers must be driving dangerously!

Hu, who entered the old age, was really in his prime. The sudden death of his son made him lose his mind.

He rushed into the street and killed the driver with a sword.

He was so happy after the murder that his boss spoke at once.

"Kill for life!"

Nonsense: Boss, don't tease me. How can the Prime Minister pay the driver? Do you want to compile a collection of jokes from the Ming Dynasty?

But after all, the boss talked and always wanted to take money to the coachman's house to apologize.

Although it is sad that the pillar of the family died, how can a civilian fight with the prime minister?

I can only submit to humiliation.

Hu thinks that's enough, right?

The boss still said: kill for life.

Hu thought: What happened to my boss? Usually he likes me, and suddenly he wants me to pay. Is this eating something bad or working abnormally?

I am the Prime Minister!

He felt keenly that the boss didn't seem to be joking.

His immediate boss, but the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, is no joke.

Where is Hu? Kneeling for mercy is repentance. Now that you have confessed, you should kill people according to law.

Not guilty? So many people saw him kill the driver in the street and refused to plead guilty. What's more, they had to pay the price of their lives.

In a dilemma

He began to think about ways to get out of trouble.

After thinking for a long time, he finally had an idea.

Who am I? I am Hu! I am the only boss under Zhu Yuanzhang who has been prime minister for seven years.

My cronies are all over the world, whether civil or military, there are my people.

You Zhu Yuan Zhang can win the world, why can't I?

Yue hu thought more and more excited, as if he could really be an emperor.

Now, I immediately found a few closest people to discuss how to drag Zhu Yuanzhang down to the throne.

I'm a little excited to think about it

It has been agreed who will be sent to run the army, who will be sent to stabilize Zhu Yuanzhang, and when the uprising will take place.

When I went to court the next day, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu and his cronies all turned into paper tigers.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What are you doing? A guilty look? "

One of them plopped down on his knees.

While kowtowing, he talked about Hu's plot yesterday.

Hu was startled. He is really my close friend, and his teammates are not soft at all.

He quickly quibbled, but when he knelt down and looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Before he knew it, these eyes were always behind him, watching him quietly.

Its owner is Zhu Yuanzhang.

I didn't hang up at all, I'm not smart, and my predecessors are not idiots.

On the contrary, I am the real clown.

He can achieve everything today, not because he was blinded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the contrary, it was all inspired and connived by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But the only thing is that he didn't understand until he died. Since it is so fragile, is it necessary for Zhu Yuanzhang to waste so much effort to deal with himself?

Zhu Yuanzhang was not dealing with Hu at all, but with his official position, a prime minister system that lasted for thousands of years.

Ironically, however, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he cancelled the prime minister system because he was excellent and his predecessors were too stupid.

And the eyes of history are also looking at Zhu Yuanzhang.

After his death, the cabinet of the Ming dynasty used another name to exercise greater power as prime minister.
