Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

What happened in the court soon reached Li Wei's ears. Not only Wu Chen and others would inform him in time, but also Wang Jinghong in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang strictly prohibited eunuchs from intervening in politics. Wang Jinghong had not left the palace since returning from the Japanese expedition. It was not until Li Wei asked Chen Su to form a night guard that he contacted him again and secretly exchanged information.

In the Ordnance Bureau, Chen Su reported to him one by one the news he got from all aspects. Li Wei listened quietly and couldn't help but frown slightly.

No matter how powerful the minister is, he is still a minister. If the emperor really wants to rectify it, there are still many ways to deal with it, especially when the founding emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang has military power. If he does not care about the consequences and goes on a killing spree, no one can stop him. He can be so majestic now. , it’s just that it hasn’t reached the point of making Zhu Yuanzhang fall out.

Now with the newly promoted civil servants Zhan Hui and Tang Yougong in check, a stable situation has formed in the DPRK, which is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang wants.

However, he has also made sufficient preparations. These newly ascended northern scholars and his students will definitely become a new force in the court in the future.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After Chen Su finished speaking, Li Wei chuckled.

Chen Su smiled respectfully and said, "It is my honor to share my worries with the Duke!"

Li Wei nodded lightly. He didn't care in the past, but after experiencing so many things, he also understood that these polite words were sometimes necessary.

"By the way, how is the matter about Abu that I asked you to check?" Li Wei gave a simple encouragement, then changed the subject and asked about the previous arrangements.

Chen Su's face suddenly became serious, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "Back to the Lord, according to my investigation, in recent times, in addition to practicing guarding in the military camp, Abu also often took time to return to his hometown, and even met with the second lady in private. several times."

When Li Wei heard this, he felt confused and half of his body froze.

Abu meets Xiaoqing in private?
why?
Some bad images flashed through Li Wei's mind, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Speak clearly!" Li Wei said in a deep voice.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Chen Su did not dare to hesitate and directly told him the information he knew in detail.

"Yes! According to my investigation, Abu seems to have always been in contact with the second lady, and it seems that they have a special relationship. In addition, I accidentally discovered that Abu has purchased cold medicine from the drug store many times before."

Chen Su said carefully while paying attention to Li Wei's expression secretly.

After hearing this, Li Wei felt a chill in his heart.

Abu and Xiaoqing have always been in contact. Why do they have a relationship? And he also bought her herbal medicine, which is an ancient contraceptive. This kind of thing is usually poisonous and very harmful to women!
Could it be that Abu is also a spy of Zhu Yuanzhang's faction, so he has contact with Xiaoqing? Or, there is another reason that he cannot accept even more!

After Chen Su finished speaking, he looked at Li Wei with some anxiety.

He was also very shocked when he found out these things. As one of Li Wei's most trusted people, Abu actually acted like this in private, which was obviously unusual.

Li Wei's face was distorted, and there was an uncontrollable anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said to Chen Su: "Call him right away!"

"Yes!"

Chen Su didn't dare to say anything more, so he stood up and went to do it.

"Wait a minute!" Li Wei stopped him again and ordered: "Bring some people!"

Chen Su's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists again in response. Li Wei waved his hand, and then he turned and left.

In a military camp on the outskirts of the capital, Abu, Tuo Huochi, Lu Hong, Zhang Tie and other students of Li Wei who had just joined the camp were strolling together to inspect the training of Li Wei's three thousand guards. Tuo Huochi was like a dog He followed Abu like a leg to show hospitality, and he was also very polite to Lu Hong and others.

Abu was the general who led the army in place of Wu Yong under the orders of Li Wei. Although Lu Hong and others were all young men who had just joined the army, as Li Wei's direct students, their status was naturally unusual, so he showed off his attitude in front of them. Very low.

"Sir, look, are these recruits doing well in training?" Tuo Huochi pointed at the recruits in the training queue on the school field.

Abu glanced at the words and nodded slightly.

Li Wei transferred his previous three thousand guards and placed them in the navy. Now these are all newly recruited and retrained.

Although the guards who entered the Navy received official meals, their background determined that they would still be loyal to Li Wei, his old master. This was also the reason why Li Wei was confident in taking control of the Navy.

While Abu and Tuo Huochi were communicating, Lu Hong suddenly interrupted: "Sir, can you arrange for us to practice as well?"

After he and these classmates entered the military camp, Tuo Huochi arranged for them to be fed and served, without any intention of letting them participate in training.

Tuo Huochi treated them as young masters, but Lu Hong and others were not willing to do so. After all, they were young men with great ambitions, and Li Wei also had high expectations for them. Of course they didn't want to just hang out like this. day.

Hearing Lu Hong speak, Zhang Tie and Wang Dazhi beside them also looked at Abu with hope.

Abu also understood that Li Wei valued these students, and after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will have someone arrange it for you later. From basic training to combat command, there will be no shortage of anything."

Naturally, Lu Hong and others will not just train formations like ordinary soldiers. They will definitely be commanders in the future.

"Great!"

Lu Hong and others looked at each other and were immediately surprised.

"Thank you, Commander."

Everyone bowed their hands in thanks, and Abu nodded slightly.

While several people were talking, they suddenly saw Chen Su coming over with someone.

The people led by Chen Su were obviously very different from the people in the military camp. In addition to their different clothes, they also had a cold temperament, which was completely opposite to the masculine soldiers in the army.

Seeing Chen Su and others coming, Abu, Tuo Huochi and others stopped talking, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

"Haha, Commander, are you busy?"

Chen Su walked up to everyone and greeted Abu with a smile and a friendly attitude.

Abu glanced at him and raised his hand casually.

To be honest, they didn't like this cold and cruel guy very much.

After Chen Su said hello to him, he nodded to Tuo Yanchi and others, and then said to him: "Abu, I have something to ask you."

"What does the master want from me?" Abu asked, slightly stunned.

"I don't know either. My father-in-law didn't tell me. You'll know when you go there." Chen Su said with a smile.

Abu glanced at the people around him, with a strange look in his eyes. Chen Su was not in a hurry and waited for his reply with a smile.

After pondering for a moment, Abu said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, he turned to Tuohuo Equator: "I'll leave the training to you first."

"Okay, sir, don't worry, I will definitely practice well." Tuo Huochi promised, patting his chest.

Abu nodded and left alone with Chen Su and others.

At the Ordnance Bureau, Li Wei waited for a long time before Chen Su came back with Abu.

"master."

When Abu entered the room, he bowed his hands respectfully, while Chen Su and others surrounded him in a semi-surrounding manner.

Abu looked at them. At this time, he also saw that something was wrong, but he did not say much. After saluting, he looked at Li Wei calmly.

Li Wei stared at him with cold eyes, and after a long time he asked: "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"

Abu's face changed slightly, he looked directly at Li Wei and asked, "What are you referring to?"

Li Wei's eyes became even colder and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked directly: "What is your relationship with Xiao Qing?"

Abu let out a breath and slowly straightened up. His attitude was no longer as respectful as before, and he said with a relieved tone: "I am her brother."

"What?" Li Wei's expression froze and he was stunned. What the hell is this?

Abu is Xiaoqing's brother?

"Qing'er is my little sister, and I am her brother from the same mother." Abu said again.

Li Wei looked confused, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.

Chen Su on the side was also stunned, obviously he did not expect this situation.

After a long time, Li Wei came back to his senses and asked suspiciously: "Is this... true?"

Abu glanced at him: "Otherwise, why do you think I would be loyal to you?"

"Isn't it because of my domineering spirit?" Li Wei said wildly.

"You bastard?" Abu looked at him doubtfully, not understanding why he made such self-deprecating remarks.

"Uh..." Li Wei was a little embarrassed, secretly despising the other party for not knowing what he was talking about.

Then he waved to Chen Su and others and said, "You guys go out first."

"Yes!"

Chen Su also knew that it was inappropriate for him to stay here any longer, so he quickly handed over and led his subordinates out of the house to guard outside.

After they left, Li Weicai turned his eyes to Abu again and asked, still somewhat suspiciously: "If this is really the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He didn't realize that Xiao Qing was a spy, and it could be said that he was carried away by his emotions. However, the brother and sister had been under his nose for so long, and he didn't notice at all, which was a bit unreasonable.

"Just like you did before, what's the use of telling you? Rather than causing trouble, it's better not to say anything." Abu said with a hint of sarcasm.

In the past, when Li Weigang arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he had always looked carefree and had no ambitions. He had been living a mediocre life. Later, he married a princess. Although he made some progress, Abu was still worried about him until he returned from the Japanese expedition. Only when Li Wei became completely popular could he be officially recognized.

Li Wei curled his lips in displeasure and asked, "So you know that Xiaoqing was ordered to spy on me?"

"I know." Abu replied happily.

"You too?" Li Wei stared at him and asked.

"Humph, if I were the same, could you still sit here safe and sound?" Abu said coldly.

Li Wei was speechless.

Indeed, Abu knew too many secrets. If he had also informed Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have been imprisoned long ago even if he had not died.

After Abu finished speaking, he then added: "Qing'er can't help herself. Don't blame her. In fact, she has done a lot for you."

Although Xiao Qing was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to monitor Li Wei, Li Wei had done many taboo things over the years, but Xiao Qing did not report them, but silently helped him hide them.

Li Wei was silent, and after a moment he took a breath and asked, "Is she also following orders when taking medicine?"

Abu was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No."

Hearing Abu's denial, Li Wei was a little surprised and asked, "Why is that?"

Abu sighed: "Do you want to hear about our life experience?"

"Speak!" Li Wei said immediately.

Of course he wanted to know Xiao Qing's life experience. Although he had already guessed some things after Chen Su's investigation, he didn't know much about it.

"Actually, we are also members of the royal family of the former Yuan Dynasty, but we are just concubines..."

Abu spoke for a moment and then began to speak slowly.

His and Xiaoqing's father was Timur Buhua, the king of Huai who stayed in Dadu in the former Yuan Dynasty. However, their mother was a lowly Han woman. Not only did she not have the status of wives and concubines, even the slaves in the family had a higher status than her. With their mother like this, the two of them were naturally not much better off. They had been bullied since childhood.

Therefore, Abu worked hard to practice martial arts since he was a child, and resolutely joined the army when he grew up, hoping to stand out through his own efforts. However, the Yuan Dynasty was exhausted. Before he could climb to a high position, the Yuan Dynasty fell apart. Huizong fled north, and Timur Not only was Hua Chengpo killed, but he was also captured without any surprise and eventually became a slave.

And Xiaoqing was not much better. Although Zhu Yuanzhang treated the Beiyuan royal family well and did not abuse them, the bullying from his family did not disappear.

When Zhu Yuanzhang sent the former Yuan royal family back to the Bei Yuan Dynasty, Xiaoqing did not follow him, but chose to stay in the Ming Dynasty.

After that, he was singled out by Zhu Yuanzhang and sent to Li Wei, where he remains until now.

"Due to our birth, we were bullied a lot when we were children. Qing'er didn't want to have another child born as a commoner and repeat our fate. So when she knew you would marry the princess, she started taking medicine."

Abu whispered the reason why Xiaoqing took the cold medicine, and Li Wei felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

"There are no direct descendants in my place, including Xiaoqing's Anqing, and I treat them the same!" Li Wei emphasized.

Abu glanced at him: "Really?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment and then said firmly: "Yes, I will definitely do it!"

Abu stared at him for a moment before nodding.

If he had said this in the past, he would not have believed it, but now he really does.

Xiaoqing is now a well-established concubine. Although she is far from equal to Anqing, she has not suffered much grievances under Li Wei's love and care.

But recently, after Li Wei discovered her identity, he began to neglect her and even hid in the Ordnance Bureau without even returning home.

Abu also showed his flaws in a moment of impatience.

He was very satisfied that Li Wei was able to discover this flaw in him, secretly thinking that this guy who was just messing around had finally grown up!
No matter how clear it is now, there will be no need to pretend in the future. With Li Wei's current power, this trouble is not a big problem.

"Go back home more often when you have time, and be kind to Qing'er." Abu said.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

But when he saw Abu's preaching look, he rolled his eyes in displeasure.

"We have agreed. Although you are Xiaoqing's brother, I will still call you Abu from now on. You...well, you can do whatever you want."

It's a bit awkward to mention his uncle Li Wei. Because his wife is young, both Zhu Biao and Abu are younger than him, but he can't help but call them brothers.

"Whatever." Abu didn't care about this.

Seeing that he recognized the situation, Li Wei quietly breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of ​​letting him go aside to cool off.

"How's it going in the military camp?" Li Wei changed the subject.

After hearing this, Abu briefly told him about the training situation of the new recruits, including the request of his students to participate in the training.

Li Wei nodded lightly: "Well, you can just train them normally. You're welcome. I have high hopes for these students, and they can't be wasted on me!"

"Okay, I will arrange it!"

Abu nodded in agreement and said, "Actually, there is a question I have been wanting to ask you."

"You ask." Li Wei said casually.

Abu hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "When you train these guards and Chen Su, do you really want to fight to seize the throne?"

After finishing speaking, Abu stared at Li Wei closely, waiting for his answer. (End of chapter)
