Chapter 1: Hu Weiyong
In the 12th year of Hongwu, September autumn.
Yingtian Mansion, in the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial City.
"Report to the Emperor! Hu Weiyong, I impeached Duke Zhao, Chen Wen, who lives in a luxurious life and embezzled military expenses!"
In the middle of Fengtian Palace, a white-haired old man in a breeze robe pointed at a young man in front of the officials.
When he heard this news, a burst of uproar came from Fengtian Hall.
The one who stood up to impeach was the one who was below that person, Hu Weiyong, the left prime minister of the Secretariat!
The young man who was impeached was Chen Wen, one of the founding dukes of the Ming Dynasty!
When Zhu Yuanzhang was the King of Wu, he launched the first Northern Expedition against the Mongol Yuan, he was the main general, with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun as deputy generals.
It was also because of this war that the Yuan Dynasty was captured and the rule of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty laid the foundation for the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
His ability to promote the country by literature and martial arts can stabilize the country was once praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already proclaimed himself emperor, in public; I was lying on the dragon!
Chen Wen’s contribution to the Ming Dynasty was great to be able to get Zhu Yuanzhang’s evaluation!
"Well? I impeached me to live a luxurious life?"
After hearing Hu Weiyong's impeachment, Chen Wen was speechless.
He is not a person from this world, but a time traveler!
From more than ten years ago to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he became a brother who fought with Zhu Yuanzhang!
As a time traveler, other people have systems, and he is no exception.
However, the system he bound is called the charity dedication system. As long as you donate a sum of money, you can get the corresponding reward from the system!
He has basically donated the salary and rewards he has received in recent years, except for some daily expenses.
Therefore, Hu Weiyong impeached him to live a luxurious life, which is simply pure nonsense!
As for the fact that greed for military expenditure is even more impossible. This behavior is contrary to the original intention of systematic charity. Moreover, Chen Wen is not willing to do this kind of thing about killing chickens and getting eggs!
Before Chen Wen could stand up and refute, the court officials immediately stood up and spoke for Chen Wen.
"Old Dog Hu! Your damn fart!"
"Everyone can greed for military expenses, but Brother Chen Wen will never do such a thing!"
As soon as Hu Weiyong's impeachment was finished, Xu Da, Duke of Wei in the military team, immediately stood up and cursed.
"That's it! Brother Chen Wen's character, all the generals present can guarantee him!"
As soon as Xu Da finished speaking, Duke E of Chang Yuchun also came out to speak.
He should have died of illness during the first Northern Expedition, but he relied on Chen Wen's amazing medical skills to pull him back from the King of Hell!
The two nobles stood up and spoke, like a drop of water falling into hot oil, boiling instantly!
The Hu Party members led by Hu Weiyong directly quarreled with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others.
"Silence us!"
The ministers in the court were making noises. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong with some displeasure, and then said with a gloomy face.
Seeing Lao Zhu's ugly face on the dragon throne, everyone tactfully closed their mouths.
"Chen Wen! Tell us! Are you really greedy for military expenses?"
You should know that what Lao Zhu hated the most was corrupt officials, but he did not immediately believe Hu Weiyong's words, but turned to Chen Wen and asked.
"Return to the emperor!"
"I don't know where the rumor Hu Xiang heard, but I have never greedy for military expenses of a copper coin!"
"If you don't believe it, the emperor may send the Jinyiwei to search my home."
"I'll ask the emperor to give me a clean innocence!"
Seeing Lao Zhu on the dragon throne asking questions, Chen Wen answered frankly.
"Okay, Mao Xiang obeys the order! Take the Jinyiwei to the Chen family for search!"
"If this matter is really unfair, we will definitely give you justice!"
Zhu Yuanzhang still believed Chen Wen's character, but this matter involved corruption, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to thoroughly investigate!
"Yes! Emperor!"
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was standing beside the court, immediately heard the order loudly.
...
In a short while, Mao Xiang brought a group of Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords to Chen Wen's mansion.
This mansion was a reward given to Chen Wen when he returned from the Northern Expedition of the Mongol Yuan!
However, this mansion does not belong to Chen Wen now. After obtaining this mansion, he secretly sold the mansion and used the money to do charity.
"Control Mao from the Jinyiwei, what's the point of doing in the lower mansion?"
When he heard that the Jinyiwei came to the house, Chen Rong, the eldest son of the current owner of the house, Chen Wansan, the richest man of the Ming Dynasty, rushed to ask with peace and angrily.
"Your residence? Isn't this the residence of Duke Zhao?"
Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is not unfamiliar with Chen Rong, the heir to the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing Chen Rong's words, Mao Xiang said in a daze for a moment.
"Commander Mao didn't know that this mansion had been sold to me a few years ago!"
"Duke Zhao's residence is not here! It is in another place!"
"If Commander Mao wants to go, I can take you there!"
Seeing Mao Xiang's puzzled look, Chen Rong knew that the other party had made a mistake and quickly explained to him.
"One other place? Then I'll bother Mr. Shen!"
Mao Xiang heard this and said thoughtfully.
"I dare not take it if I have to worry! The commander and commander will share the worries of the emperor, and it is a duty to cooperate with the Jinyiwei to do things!"
Chen Rong replied politely, and led Mao Xiang and a group of Jinyiwei toward Chen Wen’s real residence.
A group of people came from the richest area in Yingtian to the areas where civilians lived.
Looking at the common people around him, Mao Xiang was confused and said, "Mr. Shen! Didn't you say you should take us to the residence of Duke Zhao? Why did you come to the place where the common people live?"
"I'm not wrong! Duke Zhao really lives here!"
"According to Duke Zhao, the people cannot afford to eat or spend money, so how can he enjoy his term as a courtier?"
"It is also for this reason that Duke Zhao sold his mansion to the house and donated all the money he earned!"
"I can't wait for such noble character!"
Chen Rong also heard the doubts in Mao Xiang's words and smiled and introduced Chen Wen's deeds to him.
Of course, there is no lack of admiration for Chen Wen’s character in his words!
Everyone was chatting while walking and soon came to a dilapidated yard.
"Commander Mao! We're here!"
Chen Rong stopped in front of this broken yard and said to Mao Xiang behind him.
"Well? This is really the mansion of Duke Zhao? Mr. Shen, don't cheat me of the commander!"
Looking at the dilapidated thatched house in the yard, Mao Xiang said with some displeasure.
Looking at the so-called living environment in front of him, Mao Xiang stood there and was stunned.
Chapter completed!
