Clone of the heavens: I activated spiritual energy recovery

Thirteen new scholars introduced themselves one by one.

Wang Yunfei was mixed in among them. When introducing himself, he completely implemented the principle of keeping a low profile and tried not to attract Zhu Yuanzhang's special attention.

Among this batch of new scholars, Wang Yunfei is at the upper-middle level, neither top nor bad. As long as he doesn't stand out and just hangs around, he can survive until the end.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained unchanged and he treated everyone equally. He was a little afraid that Wang Yunfei would be scared away by him, but he had many questions to ask and some ideas to verify.

As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang had a firm mind and had to solve problems when he found them.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea.

From Wang Yunfei's inner voice, he knew that Wang Yunfei was unwilling to become an official in the dynasty, and was even very afraid of him. He even said that no one in the Hongwu Dynasty would be an official.

Since Wang Yunfei is not willing to be an official, Zhu Yuanzhang still has to ask Wang Yunfei to be an official, or even a close official of the emperor, the kind that can be seen every day, focusing on rebellion.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang violated the system and directly appointed thirteen new scholars as officials. Except for Wang Yunfei and No. 1 Liu Yingjie of the new science, the other new scholars were not appointed through the Ministry of Personnel and were appointed as county magistrates.

As for Wang Yunfei and Liu Yingjie, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed them to the Li Kezuo and Shizhong, from the seventh rank, to the sixth branch, directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and capable of discussing affairs before the emperor.

To put it bluntly, Wang Yunfei and Liu Yingjie were qualified to go to court, could see the emperor from time to time, and had the right to reject edicts issued by the emperor. They were considered officials to supervise the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Wang Yunfei the position of Zuozhong in order to be able to summon Wang Yunfei from time to time, and such summons were reasonable and would not arouse suspicion.

He was given the right to discuss court affairs, so Zhu Yuanzhang could ask Wang Yunfei some questions and get the answers that Wang Yunfei wanted.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang directly appointed Xinke Jinshi as officials, which violated the system, the officials and court officials did not say anything.

Especially knowing that Wang Yunfei, a relative of Hu Weiyong, started from the seventh rank Zuo Gong Shi, it can be seen that Hu Weiyong was deeply favored by the emperor, otherwise it would not be possible to give such a high official position to Wang Yunfei, who was of mediocre ability.

【Ruined! 】

[I started as a seventh-rank official. It seemed that I had taken advantage of Uncle Hu. Otherwise, how could Lao Zhu not let me go and directly appoint me as a central official]

[Now Lao Zhu is still indulging in Hu Weiyong. In order to show his respect for Hu Weiyong, he is very tolerant to Hu Weiyong's officials. This is a sign of my love for the house and the bird, and it is also for the courtiers to see.]

When Wang Yunfei heard that he had been conferred the title of Zuo Geizhong by Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt heavy, but on the surface he still had to thank the Lord for his kindness.

As expected, Hu Weiyong was in a good mood when he heard that Wang Yunfei had been appointed as a proper central official in Zuojiashi.

Whether an official's promotion is smooth or not can be seen from the beginning. Starting from the seventh rank, as long as he does not make mistakes and has his operation, it is still possible to reach the fifth rank official within a few years.

After that, he was trained and trained outside, and he might not be able to join the six ministries as chief, and then the road to promotion became smoother. He became chief, minister, minister, and finally became the prime minister.

If the Hu Weiyong case had not existed, Wang Yunfei would have had a smooth future as long as he was smarter. Unfortunately, this was the Hongwu Dynasty, and with Zhu Yuanzhang around, the Hu Weiyong faction would soon be gone.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the reactions of the ministers, and then heard Wang Yunfei's inner voice, and his murderous intention towards Hu Weiyong became even more serious.

He would not allow the court to escape his control. Hu Weiyong, the prime minister, had too much power and had a faint tendency to exclude him. This was something he could not tolerate.

What happened next was nothing more than a group of newly appointed officials, so they were taken out of the hall. Zhu Yuanzhang could not overhear Wang Yunfei's thoughts because Wang Yunfei was 20 meters away.

At present, Wang Yunfei has not seen anything wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang, nor does he know that his inner thoughts have been known to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is still thinking about how to escape his inevitable fate.

Yingtian City, Hu Mansion.

After going to court, Wang Yunfei and Hu Weiyong took the same car back to their hometown. Wang Yunfei had no place to live, so he naturally stayed at Hu Weiyong's house.

In the hall of the mansion, Hu Weiyong looked at Wang Yunfei with a smile, and he valued his nephew very much.

Hu Weiyong valued Wang Yunfei's nephew very much. The reason was that Wang Yunfei was the son of Hu Weiyong's eldest brother. His eldest brother was very kind to him, so he loved him as much as he loved him. Hu Weiyong also valued Wang Yunfei very much.

Although Wang Yunfei claims to be a distant relative of Hu Weiyong, in fact the two are very close and are uncle and nephew.

"Xiao Fei, you have to be a good official in the future. I will fully assist you. When I retire, the position of prime minister may not be yours, but you have to learn from your uncle how to be an official."

Hu Weiyong does have the idea of ​​​​training Wang Yunfei. He will eventually withdraw from the court, so before withdrawing, he must train a pillar for the Hu family.

Wang Yunfei was very confused, but finally made up his mind.

Hu Weiyong was very kind to his predecessor, and Wang Yunfei traveled through time and inherited his predecessor's memories and emotions.

Although he had already thought about asking the prince to protect him, he still had to make many preparations. If he could make Hu Weiyong take the initiative to give in, he might not be able to keep Hu Weiyong.

"Uncle Hu, do you think it's possible that His Majesty the Emperor has murderous intentions towards you?"

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Yunfei's words.

He was not in a hurry to reply, but thought carefully about Wang Yunfei's words. After all, his nephew would not make random mistakes, so he must know something.

"Xiao Fei, what do you think?"

Hu Weiyong recalled that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be too tolerant of him and the officials of his faction, so there was a big problem here, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

So Hu Weiyong wanted to hear what his nephew had to say, and whether he could see something different.

"Uncle, since ancient times, the imperial power and the prime minister's power have not been dealt with. Now, uncle, your power is too great. Our Emperor is not a person who can tolerate others."

"Today, His Majesty the Emperor granted me the title of Zuo Qi Shizhong. This position is very good, but in the future I will have to pay for it with our family's lives."

"Uncle, the emperor has five cities of soldiers and horses in his hands, and your every move is under surveillance. You have been deliberately making friends with officials from all walks of life over the years. I am afraid that you have aroused the emperor's fear and even had murderous intentions towards you. .”

After Wang Yunfei finished speaking, Hu Weiyong's face was calm, and he did not show an expression of shock or fear because of his words.

"Xiao Fei, you are fine."

"I didn't expect you to think of so much."

Obviously Hu Weiyong knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had murderous intentions towards him. After all, compared to later generations of time travellers, Hu Weiyong, who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, would understand Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts better.

"Uncle, do you want to do something?"

Hu Weiyong did not choose to answer Wang Yunfei's question, but everything was left unspoken.

"Uncle, we are destined to fail. When the time comes, you, me and the people in our faction will all die."

Wang Yunfei persuaded again.

Hu Weiyong was silent. He somewhat understood why Wang Yunfei said this to him.

People are cherishing their lives.

"Okay, you go down and rest first, and I will confirm your official position as soon as possible."

Hu Weiyong didn't say any more, and Wang Yunfei didn't pester him. He excused himself and returned to his room.

After Wang Yunfei left, Hu Weiyong sat quietly for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

In the bedroom, Wang Yunfei was lying on the bed. It was not night yet, but he was very tired and wanted to rest. However, when he thought of his identity from time travel and his fate of death in the future, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

"I know a lot about the history of the Hongwu Dynasty. I also understand some technologies and policies that are not available in this era. But my identity and showing these abilities will only make me die faster."

"To save yourself, unless you can get the protection of the prince, or let Uncle Hu take the initiative to abdicate, or even depose himself and retire directly, otherwise the Hu Weiyong case will inevitably arise."

"Lao Zhu was determined to abolish the prime minister system, strengthen the imperial power, and control everything."

"In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power and the prime minister's power collided, and the prime minister's power was destined to be defeated. Lao Zhu was too powerful and energetic enough to suppress the Ming Dynasty for many years."

Yingtian Palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came to court, he did not rush to deal with government affairs. He just locked himself in the imperial study room and recalled today's experience.

"Are there really gods in the world?"

"I can hear Wang Yunfei's voice. If this isn't a magical method, what is it?"

He originally didn't believe in gods, but today's experience made him disbelieve.

"Is what Wang Yunfei said in his heart true? Can the other party still predict the future?"

"In three years, will my queen and the emperor's eldest grandson really die? In 12 years, will Biao'er die too?"

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep self-doubt.

At this moment, he wished he could directly arrest Wang Yunfei and torture him out everything he wanted to know. However, this was the critical moment and he could not touch Wang Yunfei or even show that he cared about Wang Yunfei.

That night, many people couldn't sleep.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not sleep for a long time because of his strange experience during the day.

Wang Yunfei was very sad about his bleak future and was afraid that his life was not in his hands. He tossed and turned in bed, thinking about ways to survive.

After listening to Wang Yunfei's words, Hu Weiyong recalled that the other party had firmly said that their uprising would fail. He could not sleep for a long time. He was also afraid of death and that everything he had managed would disappear.

On this day, the gears of fate turned, and the future of Ming Dynasty had deviated from the established trajectory and headed in an unknown direction.

Seven days passed.

Wang Yunfei's official uniform and official seal have been issued, and he is already a formal official. He has not reported to the etiquette department yet, but today is the court meeting twice a month, and Wang Yunfei must follow him to the court.

Because he did not have a house for the time being, he lived with Hu Weiyong, and he would naturally follow Hu Weiyong when he went to court. Hu Weiyong could also teach Wang Yunfei how to go to court and what to do when he went to court.

Today is the first time Wang Yunfei goes to court. He is going to pretend to be transparent. Anyway, his official position is low and he ranks at the bottom of the official list. As long as the emperor does not name him, he can blend in with the court and then plan to contact Prince Zhu Biao.

During these seven days, he stayed in the Hu Mansion, sorting out the information he knew about Ming history, and determining his rules for the future. If he could meet Empress Ma and the emperor's grandson, he might be able to discern something and prepare early.

Hu Weiyong also went out frequently in the past seven days. As for what he was doing, he did not tell Wang Yunfei, and Wang Yunfei did not talk about what happened that day.

Just go with the flow.

Do your best, listen to destiny.
