Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 391 Impossible!
"Do you really think we don't dare to kill you?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened with anger and murderous intent.

Li Wei looked directly at him without fear: "Of course you dare. How can you care about the lives of ordinary people when you become the emperor? Craftsmen can kill, musicians can kill, of course there is nothing I can't do!" "

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned livid and he said angrily: "You bastard, aren't we doing this just for you? If you hadn't pushed back, how could we have used these methods? It's because we used these methods to force you that you have achieved so many achievements. The Ming Dynasty will prosper rapidly in less than ten years, and we are doing this for the sake of the world!"

"Oh, you are so selfless for the sake of the world, then why don't you kill your sons too if they are doing lawless things and causing trouble to the place!" Li Wei mocked.

"you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at him with trembling fingers. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people, but it has never been implemented.

The so-called Confucian etiquette system "If the common people are not treated with courtesy and the punishment is not high," it means that people are divided into three, six or nine classes, and the superior people have legal privileges. Since the founding of the country, although it has imposed harsh punishments on civil officials, it has not punished nobles and royal relatives. But they are always forgiving, which is to put it bluntly, a double standard.

Of course he has his political considerations, but this cannot cover up the unfairness of his law enforcement.

Li Wei glanced at him and sneered: "But it doesn't matter. Soon your sons will suffer retribution and die in front of you one by one, hahaha..."

"What did you say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically as he looked at Li Wei who was laughing.

Li Wei laughed for a moment before snorting coldly: "Huh, your second son who has done many evil things will die soon, and your third son will not live long. After your death, your fourth son will rebel and seize the throne. The other vassal kings will either be eliminated or killed." Damn it, not many of them have a good ending!”

"Impossible!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands fiercely, "Biao'er can't do this, and Lao Si can't rebel either!"

Li Wei glanced at him and showed a sarcastic smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly sank, his face twitched, and he asked in disbelief: "Could it be that Biao'er also..."

Li Wei didn't speak, but his expression said everything.

"It's impossible, it's impossible! Biao'er is in his prime, there's no way he could leave before me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands repeatedly, still unwilling to believe it, and then said loudly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "You heard all this in the play, it's all fake, yes, it's all made up!"

"Humph, believe it or not!" Li Wei sneered.

In the past, when he told Zhu Yuanzhang about future generations, he always said selectively. On the one hand, he really didn't know much, and on the other hand, he hid some things because he thought it would be harmful rather than beneficial to say them.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's wisdom, he had naturally seen it a long time ago, but he did not delve into it. Just as Li Wei said, his arrival has changed history, and what he said was only seen on TV and the like. It's not reliable at all. Listening too much can sometimes affect your judgment. It's better not to listen.

But now Li Wei suddenly revealed all these things that he could not say before, which caused a huge impact on him!

The prince will die, the second and third sons all die in front of him, the fourth son rebels and kills each other. Even he, the iron-blooded emperor, cannot bear such a tragedy.

Li Wei glanced at him twice and then turned his attention back to Xiao Qing.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared with an ugly face, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. If what Li Wei said is true, then the only person who can change history and save Zhu Biao in the future may be him, the person who traveled through time and space to the Ming Dynasty, but now this situation , Li Wei naturally cannot help him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, but finally did not speak, waved his sleeves and turned around to leave.

Li Wei took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

At the Prince Consort's Mansion, An Qing, Xiaohong Xiaoyue and others were waiting anxiously. Li Wei's behavior before leaving made her very uneasy. This reminded him of what Li Wei said not long ago. What if his father wanted to kill him? manage?
An Qing didn't dare to think about it, and shook his head vigorously to get rid of these messy thoughts.

Not long after Li Wei was taken away by Jin Yiwei, Duan Yu finally took a detour back to the house.

An Qing saw her and immediately stepped forward and asked eagerly: "What happened? Where are Li Wei and Xiao Qing? Where are the others?"

Duan Yu was also a little embarrassed at the moment. Although she did not participate in the subsequent battle, she had fought with Zhang Zheng and others for a long time. Although she was not injured, she did not take advantage.

"Your Highness, the master was taken away by the Jin Yiwei. Mrs. Xiaoqing, she...hey!"

Duan Yu shook her head.

When An Qing heard this, his face suddenly turned pale: "How could it be? Why did Jinyiwei want to arrest him? And Xiaoqing, what on earth is going on?"

Duan Yu took a breath and then briefly told how Xiao Qing was killed and Li Wei went on a killing spree in anger.

Xie Feihu and the guards who participated in the battle had all broken into pieces and hid, and did not follow him back home. As for her, although she did not participate in the battle, it is still uncertain whether she will also be convicted. After all, she was the one who took action. She almost hurt Lan Yu. If Lan Yu insists on saying that she committed an assassination, then she will not have a good result.

But she couldn't run, because there was Dali Duan behind her. If she ran away, Duan would probably suffer.

After hearing what she said, An Qing became anxious: "No, I will go to the palace to find my father! Li Wei is the consort, and my father will definitely be lenient."

An Qing said and left in a hurry with Xiao Hong and several maids.

Duan Yu didn't stop her, just looked at her figure and sighed softly.

Although she was not involved in what Li Wei secretly did, she was not an innocent child. Something was obviously wrong this time, and it would be useless for Anqing to go to the palace to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked ahead blankly, Li Wei's resentful words still echoing in his mind.

Are these words meant to curse him, or are they true?

He wasn't sure, but what if these were true?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but panic.

He is already over sixty and may not live for many years. If Zhu Biao, the prince he trained with so much painstaking efforts, dies young at this time, all his arrangements will be disrupted.

There are also the second and third sons. Although the second son is not a thing, he is also his biological son, and both of them are quite talented in the military. They are the main vassals who defend the Zhu family's imperial power. They also died young. What will Ming Dynasty do in the future? Who will suppress these nobles?

There is also the fourth child. He had thought that this fourth child had become a little different after the sect, but he didn't expect that he was really ambitious!

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused for a moment.

At this moment, the little eunuch outside suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Anqing is outside asking for an audience."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "No!"

When An Qing came over, he knew without thinking that he was here to plead for Li Wei, but he hadn't made up his mind yet and didn't want to hear anything.

"Yes." The young eunuch responded respectfully and exited the hall.

An Qing outside the palace became even more anxious after receiving the reply. Since he was blocked from entering, he could only shout loudly outside the palace: "Father, please spare Li Wei, he is the consort! Father... "

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted irritably outside: "Send her back to the house, don't scream here!" Upon hearing this, the little eunuch outside the door quickly came to An Qing to persuade him.

At this time, Zhu Biao came over in a hurry. The little eunuch saluted quickly when he saw him, while An Qing's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he hurried to him.

"Brother Imperial, Jin Yiwei has captured Li Wei, please go and persuade your father to let him go!" An Qing said anxiously.

Zhu Biao comforted him softly: "I know about this. Don't worry, I'm here to plead with Father."

"Okay, then go quickly!" An Qing said quickly.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, then glanced at the little eunuch. The little eunuch understood, bowed slightly and quickly went in to report again.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

Hearing Zhu Biao's arrival, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be startled, then sighed slightly and said: "Let him come in."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch left and came out to announce Zhu Biao's entry. An Qing wanted to follow, but was still stopped.

Zhu Biao returned his comforting eyes and walked in alone.

"Father, I heard that Jin Yiwei arrested Li Wei and put him in prison. I wonder why?" Zhu Biao came in, bowed briefly and asked directly.

Although he also got the news, he didn't know the specific situation yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with worried eyes. He did not answer his question, but asked softly: "Biao'er, have you been in good health recently? Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"

Zhu Biao was a little surprised. He didn't know why he asked so suddenly. He cupped his hands and replied: "Thank you for your concern, my son and I. Everything is well."

"That's good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, but the worry in his heart did not diminish.

Zhu Biao paused and then asked: "Father, what happened to Li Wei? If it is not a serious crime, please show mercy. After all, he is Anqing's husband-in-law!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath and said in a deep voice: "There is something we didn't tell you. We found out that this bitch secretly raised private soldiers and cultivated power. We originally just wanted to slightly reduce his power, but we didn't expect that he did it without telling us. So many things!”

"This...is this true?" Zhu Biao couldn't believe it.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. We have our own arrangements. Just handle the government affairs we entrust you with."

Zhu Biao frowned for a moment, but insisted on speaking: "Your Majesty, even so, can you give him another chance? After all, he has made so many achievements for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Let's think about it again. Please step back first."

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his brows and then said: "By the way, you should pay more attention to your health from now on. If you feel uncomfortable, call the imperial doctor to treat you as soon as possible."

When Zhu Biao heard what he said, he couldn't help but wonder, why did his father suddenly care so much about his body today?
"Yes, Father, don't worry." Zhu Biao said, "However, regarding Li Wei's matter, please ask Father to deal with it leniently."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded perfunctorily and waved him away.

Zhu Biao could only turn around and leave, taking An Qing with him outside the palace.

In the empty palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was lying on the dragon chair tiredly, thinking constantly in his heart.

Regardless of whether what Li Wei said was true or false, he had to make arrangements early. After all, he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

……

In the Arms Bureau, the craftsmen who were busy working suddenly discovered that many troops were coming from outside, and quickly surrounded the Arms Bureau. Seeing this, some of the craftsmen immediately turned around and reported to Lu Xiu and Tao Sheng.

Lu Xiu was fine here, as he was in charge of most of the production affairs, but it was different with Tao Sheng. As soon as he got the news, he immediately asked people to hide the key components and materials.

The gun barrel is just a leftover water pipe from the college. Since the other precision parts have not been formally assembled, the craftsmen still don't know what they are used for.

All of these are fine, but you have to be careful with the new gunpowder!
Fortunately, these gunpowders are all white and fine powder. They look very different from the black gunpowder in the past. Most people can't tell that this is gunpowder just by looking at it.

But this thing is very explosive, so it needs to be stored carefully. If it accidentally explodes, there is no need to say more.

There were already heavy troops stationed near the Ordnance Bureau, and the Yulin Guards surrounded the place even more tightly after they arrived. However, they did not go in rashly. Zhu Yuanzhang's order was just for them to block it, which gave Tao Sheng and the others ample time. Packing up, tidy up.

In addition to the Ordnance Bureau, the military guards on the other side also gathered troops and went out of the city to control the three thousand guards Li Wei stationed outside the city.

For convenience, Li Wei's guards directly took over the camps where the navy was trained, right next to the Longjiang Estuary, and owned some ships.

"My father-in-law has an order, ordering you to leave the country by boat immediately. Be quick!" Chen Su said anxiously when he led people to the camp.

Although not many of the night guards under his leadership stayed in Beijing, they were still very well informed. They knew about the conflict between Li Wei and Lan Yu as soon as possible. Later, after Xie Feihu led his men to retreat, he passed the news to Xie Feihu as soon as possible. He hurriedly led people out of the city before the Jin Yiwei closed the city.

Upon hearing this, Abu's face changed slightly and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Zhang Tie and Wang Dazhi who stayed in the camp watched him nervously when they saw him like this.

Chen Su opened his mouth and was about to tell what happened, but suddenly paused.

Not much is known about the fact that Abu is Xiaoqing's brother, but he happened to be present at the time, so he naturally knew it.

If he told Abu about Xiao Qing's death at this time, I am afraid that Abu would not agree to withdraw his troops, and might even attack the city without authorization.

They only have three thousand soldiers and horses, but there are more than 100,000 troops in the city alone, and they are also equipped with firearms. They are definitely no match for them in a fight. The right choice is to retreat quickly according to Li Wei's instructions.

"My father-in-law and Lan Yu had a conflict and were fighting on the street. Unexpectedly, the Jin Yiwei suddenly appeared. Our people impulsively beat many Jin Yiwei to death. My father-in-law has been imprisoned. Just in case, let us evacuate first. Daming, wait for the opportunity!"

Chen Su said briefly, half truthfully and half falsely.

Abu frowned and asked doubtfully, "How could he be so impulsive?"

Chen Su said anxiously: "It's too late to explain. This is all true. If you don't believe it...if you don't believe it, just ask him!"

Chen Su pointed at a young man next to him. This man was also a student of Li Wei, named Guan Long.

Guan Long glanced at Chen Su. He was also a smart person. He easily understood the reason why Chen Su concealed some things. He immediately said cooperatively: "It's true. Please give the order quickly!"

Abu also knew Li Wei's trust in these students. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he hesitated and nodded in agreement.
