Chapter 332: It Doesn't Taste Good (Revised)
"Actually, you don't need to worry about it, although this Jiangdu Marquis is arrogant, he doesn't dare to put you to death for no reason, you just need to be respectful to him, get through this time, and wait for the army to go out to fight against the Japanese."
Li Shanchang comforted loudly.
"Going on a campaign to fight against the Japanese?"
Lin Xian was slightly stunned, and didn't react for a while.
Li Shanchang smiled silently.
After a while, Lin Xiancai suddenly suddenly said: "That's right! When I get to the Wa Kingdom, I will ......."
"Lord Lin, if there is nothing else to do, please go back!" Li Shanchang suddenly interrupted.
Lin Xian also realized something, and hurriedly stopped, but his expression had changed from sadness to joy, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Guogong for your advice!" ”
Li Shanchang's face immediately turned cold: "What is Lord Lin talking about?" The old man didn't understand. ”
"Uh," Lin Xian was stunned again, and changed his words: "It's the lower officials talking nonsense, and the prince doesn't have to care." ”
Li Shanchang nodded slightly.
Lin Xian got a solution, so he retired and left.
The next day, when Li Wei learned that he had left the camp, he immediately found an excuse and ordered someone to reward him with a whip.
Lin Xian got Li Shanchang's guidance, and he stopped shouting, endured his resentment, and accepted the punishment honestly.
Since then, Li Wei has been fighting every three days and five days, and he has added new injuries to his old injuries before they have healed, and he has been working hard for many years.
However, Li Wei did not put him to death as Li Shanchang said, after all, he was not a small soldier, and it was difficult to explain that he was killed for no reason.
Since Li Wei took over the training, this new sailor has changed, the training of bows and arrows and cold weapons has almost disappeared, and all of them have been replaced with muskets, especially after those modified steam ships have left the shipyard, it has opened the eyes of these soldiers, what is the ship's strong artillery, what is the king of firepower!
Although Li Wei's flintlock pistol has been manufactured for a long time, it is given priority to equipping the Shenji Battalion and Zhu Yuanzhang's own Shangzhi Twelve Guards, and their foreign garrisons do not have this blessing, and now under the leadership of Li Wei, all the equipment has been upgraded to firearms.
In addition to muskets, the training of naval artillery is the most important thing, and Li Wei trained a group of artillery crews who are specially used in water warfare on the basis of the Shenji battalion and his own gunners in the escort.
Shooting on the water is more difficult than on land, after all, the boat is rocking, and it is more troublesome to observe, which requires special learning, otherwise it is very difficult to hit a ship on the vast sea.
The training of the sailor was carried out in an orderly manner, and the little keqin of Li Wei's family grew up slowly.
The child has just been born, almost every day, and now Li Wei's biggest pleasure when he goes home every day is to see what this kid has become.
At this time, Xiao Keqin is no longer the wrinkled and ugly appearance when he was born, his delicate skin is white and red, and he can be broken by blowing, and he babbles when he sees him, and he is cute.
In order to coax his son, Li Wei even snubbed Xiaoqing and An Qing, the two civil and military forces.
Time has passed in a hurry, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are busy preparing for the year-end celebration, but now no one in the court cares about their celebration, because they have one more important thing, that is, to drink the full moon wine of the eldest son of the prince, Jiangduhou, and the prince Li Wei's family.
In the middle of the month, although the weather is cold, the sun is shining, bringing a little warmth to pedestrians.
And the traffic and crowds in front of the Horse Mansion dispersed most of the cold.
Li Wei This is the first son, and it is the eldest son born to the princess, although he himself does not care about the difference between the young and the old, but others attach great importance to it, and he prepared a generous gift early in the morning to congratulate him.
Yu Xi and Wu Bozong of the Ministry of Officials, Wu Shen of the Ministry of Rites, Ru Taisu of the Ministry of Households, Yang Jing of the Criminal Department, He Li of the Ministry of War, Jiang Shouqing and Jiang Quan of the Ministry of Industry.
There are also Han Yike and Daotong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Jie, Shen Jue and others in charge of the department, and almost all the yamen in the DPRK and China gathered together.
Compared with Wenchen, Wucheng has relatively few achievements, but there are also Dongchuan Marquis Hu Hai, and Song Zhong Zuowei, who are old subordinates who have been promoted to the governor's affairs.
There are many people who did not arrive, but they also sent congratulatory gifts, after all, they are the concubines of the court, and they have to give face to the emperor and princess if they don't give Li Wei face.
In the wing room in the front yard, Wu Bozong and Ru Taisu, who are relatively high status or close to Li Wei, will be invited in and sit around a few tables, while others can only deal with it in the courtyard.
No way, there are too many people.
"Congratulations to Master Hou for having a noble son!"
"Congratulations, congratulations, ......"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Wu Bozong and others said hello one after another, and Li Wei also thanked him with a smile on his face.
"Hmph, I didn't expect your kid to be a parent, and you will be more stable in the future!" Ru Taisu said earnestly.
Fang Xiaoru nodded in agreement.
Li Wei strongly objected: "Where am I unstable? I've always been very steady, okay! ”
Ru Taisu sneered, and Fang Xiaoru turned his head.
Li Wei glanced at them in vain, and secretly said Forget it, today's happy day, I won't be angry with this pair of complainants.
Everyone sat down, the wine and food came up one after another, Li Wei raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together, and then moved the chopsticks together.
Since it is the child's full moon ceremony, it is natural to talk about the child's affairs first.
Ru Taisu opened his mouth and said, "I heard that the child's name was given by His Majesty, what is the name?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Hey, it's called Li Keqin, what do you say to remind me not to be lazy in the future." ”
"Hahahaha, that's a good name, Your Majesty Shengming!"
Ru Taisu immediately laughed when she heard this, and everyone else couldn't help laughing, but Fang Xiaoru's expression froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Which Keqin?" ”
Li Wei felt very strange: "It's the diligence that is diligent and thrifty." ”
After hearing this, Fang Xiaoru's face suddenly turned dark, he put down the wine glass with a bang, stood up and arched his hand: "It's not delicious, let's go!" ”
After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.
Li Wei was stunned, and the others also looked at each other, full of doubts, only Ru Taisu, an elder of the older generation, sighed, as if he understood something.
"What's going on with him?" Li Wei pointed to Fang Xiaoru's back and asked.
Ru Taisu explained: "Fang Xiaoru's father's name is also called Keqin. ”
"Uh......" Li Wei was speechless for a while, and everyone understood that it was no wonder that Fang Xiaoru suddenly got angry when he heard that Li Wei and his son's name was Li Keqin.
"Look at how many people have been hurt by one name!" Li Wei pointed his fingers on the table and complained.
Everyone was silent, the name was given by His Majesty, which was equivalent to accusing His Majesty, they were not as bold as Li Wei.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, Li Wei could only sigh.
"Master Hou, if you really introduce it, it is better to replace it with an ancient form, the same sound and synonym are not the same as the form, which is a little different." Wu Bozong said softly.
Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Oh? Is there such a word? How is it written? ”
Wu Bozong smiled: "It's very simple, it's to add a heart word under the word diligence!" ”
The word 懃 is the ancient style of writing the word diligent, and it can also be written as diligent and thrifty, and changing it to this word is not against the meaning of His Majesty.
After hearing this, Li Wei immediately felt that he had learned, and happily agreed.
Although it is a little troublesome to change to the word, it is better than having the same name with others, and he is a son, so the son can't get used to it, and if he makes a mistake in the future, he will be punished for copying his name!
If poor little Ke Yan had known his father's thoughts, he probably would never have reached out to hug him again.
Solving the trouble caused by his son's name, Li Wei's heart was a lot happier, and the banquet continued to be lively.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Wei went to the opposite wing room to salute Hu Hai and Song Zhong, these generals, Wenwu has never been able to urinate in a pot, and he also specially separated people when he arranged, fortunately, because of his relationship, although these people looked down on each other, they did not have any conflicts.
After the important people in the two wings are saluted, the courtyard also has to deal with it, after all, they are all here to congratulate, and they don't stretch out their hands to hit the smiling person.
At the end of the banquet, the heavyweight Zhu Biao brought people in.
When the ministers saw the prince coming, they immediately stood up and saluted, and they were even more surprised by the importance of Li Wei's status.
Li Wei got the news and hurriedly walked out of the wing room and bowed with everyone.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No courtesy, no courtesy."
Zhu Biao smiled warmly, and as he spoke, he personally stretched out his hand to help.
Li Wei straightened up and glanced at the eldest brother, who was a few years younger than himself: "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come here in person?" ”
"Of course I have to come here myself, I'm the child's uncle!" Zhu Biao said as a matter of course.
“……”
Li Wei was silent for a moment, thinking that if he went to the identity of the prince, the child's full moon wine uncle should come over.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please come inside." Li Wei raised his hand to lead the way and led Zhu Biao into the wing.
Taking advantage of the time they had delayed, the subordinates quickly cleaned up and made room for Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao pulled Li Wei to sit on the main seat together, and his intimacy was undoubtedly revealed.
"My father was busy with government affairs, so he didn't come in person, but he also gave a reward, and the envoy will send it later." Zhu Biao first explained.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Wei thanked him.
"By the way, did the child take it out and see it?" Zhu Biao asked again.
The child is too weak at birth, and there are many taboos to pay attention to, and after the full moon, these taboos can be lifted, and they can be carried out to meet people.
Li Wei said: "Not yet." ”
"Then hurry up and take it out for everyone to see."
Zhu Biao said with a smile.
The others also showed anticipation, Li Wei nodded, and ordered his subordinates to make arrangements.
After a while, the pink carved little Keyan was carried out by the nurse, and everyone gathered around and praised him again and again.
At this time, he stared at the beautiful big eyes like An Qing, his eyes were dripping and rolling, and he was a little timid towards others, and only showed a smile when he saw the familiar Li Wei.
Seeing this, Li Wei suddenly had a full sense of superiority in his heart, see it, this is the treatment of his father!
Zhu Biao looked at this cute child, and also felt pity: "It's so cute!" I haven't shaved my hair yet, so I'll do it! ”
Li Wei's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, forget it, it's a cold day, and the child's skin is too tender, and it's easy to get hurt!" ”
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, thought about it and felt that it was the same, so he gave up this idea: "Okay, it's up to you." ”
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, there are a lot of ancient rules, some are okay, some are not good, and he can't accept them all.
After the people in the wing room finished reading, he took the child to the opposite wing room for a turn, and finally sent it to the backyard.
Zhu Biao greeted him for a while after seeing the child, and then did not stay for long.
Although he came late and left early, Li Wei also expressed his understanding, after all, he was the crown prince of the dynasty, and under Lao Zhu's flat management, his government affairs were not lighter than Lao Zhu.
Everyone drank until it was getting late, and then they dispersed in twos and threes, and some of the more drunk Li Wei ordered the guards to send them off in person, so as not to have any accidents.
The banquet was over, and the huge Pony Mansion finally quieted down.
Li Wei also drank a lot, and was about to walk to the backyard leisurely, but Chen Su, who deliberately stayed until the end, quickly chased after him.
"I've seen Master Hou!"
Li Wei was blocked from the way, and when he saw that it was him, he immediately smiled: "Huh? Haven't left yet? ”
Chen Su also laughed, and replied respectfully: "My subordinates have something to report!" ”
"What's the matter?"
Li Wei asked directly, but Chen Su didn't answer immediately, but looked around.
Li Wei suddenly understood and said, "Come with me." ”
So saying, he led him to the side room, and called Abu to guard the door.
After entering the side room, Li Wei found a chair and sat down by himself, Chen Su first carefully closed the door of the room, and then followed.
"Master Hou, Lin Xian, who you asked me to check, is a little eyebrows."
"Oh? Tell me about it! ”
Li Wei immediately sat up straight.
Chen Su straightened out his thoughts and said softly: "When Lin Xian was in command of Zhenhaiwei, he often asked for bribes from merchant ships, and merchants in the past had to pay benefits to him in advance in order to pass safely, otherwise they would be regarded as smuggling, and at least they would confiscate money and goods, and they would be imprisoned for heavy responsibility, and even lose their lives......
Although the Ming Dynasty did not allow people to trade with overseas, but the internal merchants also had to take the water transport, as a patrol of the coastal rivers and rivers, in addition to guarding against the Japanese invaders, but also to check the quotations of these merchants, if not, it is a felony.
However, according to Chen Su, these businessmen who were asked for bribes by Lin Xian were obviously quoted in the text, but they were still forcibly detained by him, no wonder he was so active in detaining Wang Jinghong and others, it turned out to be a habitual offender!
In addition to these, there are also forcibly occupying people's land, oppressing the people, etc., as if he is another big corrupt official.
"Is there any evidence for this?" Li Wei asked solemnly.
Chen Su nodded without hesitation: "Yes!" ”
In his opinion, since Li Wei asked him to check this person, he naturally hoped that he would have it, and as for whether it was true or false, only he knew it.
Li Weihu glanced at him suspiciously: "Is it true or false?" ”
Chen Su was silent for a moment, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "It can really be, Master Hou!" ”
Li Wei frowned, a little displeased: "Yes is whether there is or not, you don't have this with me!" ”
"I haven't found out yet."
"Then keep looking!"
"Yes!"
Chen Sugong claimed that it was, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.
He not only admires Li Wei's bottom-line principle, but also disagrees with this indecisive approach, according to his meaning, since he is an enemy, he must do whatever it takes!
Although Li Wei tortured Lin Xian, he did not directly use his power to suppress him to death, just like Fan Min and Xu Hui in the past, Fan Min was corrupt and perverted the law, so he naturally died innocently, and although Xu Hui also fought against him everywhere, he saved his life, just resigned and got out.
"There is another thing, Lin Xian went to the Korean government some time ago, I don't know what he said to the Korean government, I just know that he was sad when he went in, and his expression was relaxed when he came out." Chen Su said again. (End of chapter)
