Chapter 364: Changing Lives Against the Heavens
Li Wei regained a smile on his face, put Xiaoqing's matter aside for the time being, and came to Anqing's side.
"In the future, you have to pay attention, like the last time I arranged the activity, the diet should also be nutritious and balanced......"
Li Wei took her hand and chattered.
"Oops, got it!"
Anqing interrupted a little impatiently, but also felt very warm.
It is rare for an ancient couple to be as loving as they are after a few years.
Li Wei smiled, and didn't say anything more, anyway, he would still arrange Xiaoyue and Xiaohong again, and Anqing didn't care if he listened or not.
"By the way, the child's name has to be given quickly!" Li Wei suddenly slapped his thigh and said.
An Qing was slightly stunned: "This is just pregnant, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Li Wei pursed his lips, of course, he was in such a hurry to prevent someone from giving his second child a name on a whim.
"Anyway, I have to get it quickly, I think about it, well, if it's a boy, it's called Kejian by the boss, if it's a girl, um...... Let's call it Xiaolan. ”
Li Wei thought about it for a while and said directly.
An Qing frowned immediately when he heard this, if this were a boy, it would sound good, but if it was a girl, it would be too earthy to call Xiaolan!
"No way!" An Qing categorically denied it, thought for a while and said: "It's called Jiaxin, kind, beautiful, and happy." ”
"Ah, this ......" Li Wei was stunned for a moment.
Do the people of the old Zhu family like to copy other people's names, it's not enough for the father to copy one, and the daughter also has to copy it.
"It's not right, it's not right!" Li Wei hurriedly shook his head, "Why don't you call Xiaoxin, you see that the girls in our family are all small characters, Xiaoqing Xiaohong, Xiaoyue, and you Xiaoyu, and our daughter has to inherit this style of painting!" ”
An Qing pursed his lips and said unhappily: "My name is Yu'er, not Xiaoyu!" ”
Li Wei hurriedly laughed: "It's all the same, Xiaoyu can also be called Yu'er, and Xiaoqing can also be called Qing'er...... Qing'er? ”
Speaking of this, Li Wei suddenly paused, muttered and repeated, and looked up at Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing didn't think much about it, smiled, and had no objection to this title.
However, the smile on Li Wei's face gradually disappeared.
"Then our daughter's name is Xin'er?" Seeing that he was halfway through his words, An Qing couldn't help but ask.
Li Wei shook his head secretly, threw aside the thoughts that suddenly popped up in his heart, turned around and smiled again: "Of course, Xin'er is so good!" ”
An Qing chattered for a while, and felt that it was okay, so he reluctantly agreed.
Li Wei patted his hands, and finally decided on the child's name, and then gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
But remembering the thought that just came to his heart, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiaoqing again.
……
In the evening, Li Wei dined with An Qing and Xiaoqing, and glanced at Xiaoqing from time to time, and the chewing action in his mouth stopped.
An Qing noticed his appearance, unhappily took a chopstick dish, stuffed it into his bowl, and said with some displeasure: "Eat quickly, go back to the house and look at it after eating, anyway, it is inconvenient for me during this time, let Xiaoqing serve you!" ”
"Well, that's not what I meant." Li Wei said helplessly.
Xiaoqing also noticed his strange appearance today, but he didn't understand why he was like this, and when he heard An Qing's words at this time, he couldn't help but blush slightly.
Anqing didn't listen to his defense, and after eating by himself, he got up and left.
Li Wei took a deep breath and simply took two bites to deal with the matter, but he was not in the mood to continue eating.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Li Wei glanced at her in surprise: "Finished eating?" ”
"Hmm."
Xiaoqing nodded slightly.
Of course, Li Wei could see that she was doing this to cater to herself, after all, he and An Qing had run out, and it was not appropriate for her to continue eating by herself.
Li Wei didn't break it, he was in a hurry to ask some things, and he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't ask the questions in his heart clearly.
"Okay, then come back to my room with me."
With that, Li Wei got up and took the lead in walking out, Xiaoqing simply cleaned up and followed him away.
After entering the door, Li Wei did not pull her to bed as anxiously as before, but sat at the table and waited for her to close the door, and pointed to the chair next to him: "Come and sit." ”
Xiaoqing was a little surprised, but still obediently came to sit down beside him.
The two sat opposite each other, Li Wei smiled, and suddenly asked, "Xiaoqing, did you know that Xu Yao before?" ”
When Xiaoqing heard this, his face changed instantly: "Old ...... Master, why do you suddenly ask this? ”
When Li Wei saw her reaction, his heart sank suddenly!
Although Xiaoqing didn't answer directly, her appearance already said it all.
Why did she meet Xu Yao from the Teaching Workshop Division? Could it be that she also came from the Faculty Division? At the beginning, Xu Yao seemed to be the word "green" in the end, why did she tell him this before she died? Why did Zhu Yuanzhang interrupt and insist on killing her?
A series of questions surfaced in his mind, faintly pointing to a truth that he could not accept.
"Xiaoqing, are you hiding something from me?" Li Wei stared at her with burning eyes.
Xiao Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, and then she suddenly got up and bowed down in front of him: "Master forgive me, Xiao Qing...... Xiaoqing ......"
Xiaoqing lowered her head and only said the old man's forgiveness, and then hesitated, but bit her lip and didn't say anything else.
Li Wei's eyes welled up with sadness, even if she didn't say it, he could guess something.
When he first crossed over, he was locked up for a few months, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wanted to take him out to let off steam, and now in retrospect, there are many flaws.
Ying Tianfu is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, even if he has already left the city, he should not encounter any bandits, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang cut off people's heads with a knife, such a real killing, no matter how he would not have thought that this would be acting.
But now that I think about it, with Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness, if there is a need, he will not hesitate even if he has tens of millions of lives, not to mention just a subordinate, maybe not even a subordinate, just get a death row prisoner.
Since the bandits are fake, Xiaoqing is naturally also fake.
What family members were killed by bandits, and only one of them was left, all fake!
It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang took him out that time, which was carefully arranged, on the one hand, he planted spies beside him, and by the way, he also took him to see the difficulties of the people, hoping that he could have the heart of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, and take the initiative to bow down at his feet.
It's a pity that he doesn't know each other, although he has sympathy, but he has no heart to help the people, so Zhu Yuanzhang used a knife to force him to comply.
In fact, these practices are not unacceptable to him, anyway, the emperor, basically like this, this is a routine operation.
But now what makes him unacceptable is that this Xiaoqing, who he gave everything and really loves, turned out to be just a spy.
Is she with herself because of love, or is it just because the mission needs it?
The room fell silent, and Li Wei looked at Xiaoqing sadly for a long time.
Loved?
He opened his mouth to ask the question, but he was afraid of hearing an answer that he didn't want to hear, so he could only turn into a long sigh: "Hey, you get up, I don't blame you." ”
"I have something to do, let's go to sleep first."
Then Li Wei said again, and got up to leave.
"Old man......"
Xiaoqing looked up at his departing figure and called softly, but Li Wei didn't stop and opened the door directly and left the room.
The moment the door closed, Xiaoqing seemed to suddenly lose her strength and collapsed, tears welling up in her eyes.
She could feel that this door was like a moat, locking her and her master in two worlds, and from now on, the two of them would never be like before.
She is just a weak woman, many things are involuntary, she used to act according to orders and didn't dare to say much, but then she really put her body and mind on the master, and she was afraid that she would lose him if she said it.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has not given her a decree for a long time, after all, there are many female officials and slaves in the Horse Mansion now, and even more so, there is also her own daughter Anqing, and she is not needed as a maid concubine to find out the news.
Originally, she thought that if she went on like this, she could treat it as if nothing had happened, she was sincere to the master, and the master would always love her, whether it was a maidservant or a concubine, the master was everything to her.
However, the time to come still came, and with the closing of this door, she lost her master, and lost everything.
Grief swept over, Xiaoqing couldn't hold back anymore, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her tears fell down with a low sob......
In the study, Li Wei sat alone at the desk, staring blankly ahead, and the pictures of the past echoed in his mind.
The little girl in blue clothes, the shy and timid beautiful girl, and the female servant who ventilated the news in the dark, these images are very different, but they all have the same face.
When Xiaoqing sent a message to Zhu Yuanzhang, did he hesitate?
If she was really from the Faculty Division, had she ever been bullied before?
Even if he hasn't lost his virginity, have you ever been taken advantage of by those dog officials?
Li Wei hugged his head in pain, trying to drive these pictures out of his mind, but he couldn't.
The chaotic thoughts in his mind tormented him, and after a long time, he froze into a majestic face.
"Ahh
Li Wei got up violently, frantically swept the things on the table, grabbed the books and tore them up, and finally got up and kicked the desk to the ground.
"Do you think I'm a toy at your mercy? Do you think I really can't change my life? You'll regret it! Will regret it! ”
Li Wei's eyes roared fiercely.
It's all Zhu Yuanzhang's fault, all of this is his manipulation!
He had never wanted to rebel, but now he hated to destroy it all!
At this time, the door opened, and Abu, who was on duty outside the door, heard the movement and broke in, and when he saw everything in the house, he was stunned for a moment before giving a salute: "Master, are you okay?" ”
Li Wei glanced at him and said coldly: "Go, call Chen Su!" ”
Abu glanced at him, and he didn't know why he was like this suddenly, but he didn't say much, just said yes, and turned to go out.
"Wait a minute!" Li Wei suddenly stopped him again, and said in a cold voice: "In the future, when I am in the study, no one is allowed to approach, violators, die!" ”
Abu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, Li Wei was very kind to his subordinates in the past, and he had never given such a cruel order.
"Yes!"
Abu said yes, Li Wei waved his hand, and then he bowed and retreated.
Although it was already dark now, Li Wei summoned him, Chen Su did not dare to slack off, and after getting the news, he hurriedly got up and followed the people of the Abu faction to the Horse Mansion.
After a period of adjustment, Li Wei finally calmed down and sat in the room expressionlessly.
"I've seen my grandfather." Chen Su bowed.
Li Wei bowed his head slightly, and then looked at Abu behind him, Abu understood, immediately turned away, and closed the door.
At this time, Li Weicai said lightly: "You help me check someone, be secretive, don't be discovered." ”
Chen Su's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Grandpa, please give orders, and your subordinates will definitely handle it." ”
Li Wei bowed his head and said softly: "This person's name is Xu Yao, who used to be the Shao Dance of the Teaching Workshop Division, and was convicted and given death at the Zhengdan Banquet a few years ago, you go to check her past, and you have to be as detailed as possible!" ”
Li Wei simply told him Xu Yao's identity, Xu Yao is a key person, as long as she is found out, Xiaoqing's affairs will be clear.
When Xu Yao died, Chen Su was just an ordinary craftsman, and he was very unfamiliar with this name. But it doesn't matter, after some training in Jinyiwei, it is not difficult for him to check someone, and he is even more relaxed when he hears that this person is the Teaching Division.
The Teaching Workshop Division is where Li Wei once stayed, and the current ambassador is still the Feng Jingchun who was promoted by him, and it is easy to find out the people in the Teaching Workshop Division.
"Yes, I'll find out as soon as possible!" Chen Su said.
Li Wei stared at him, his eyes narrowed, and said, "This person may have something to do with Jinyiwei, remember to be careful when you check!" ”
Chen Su was stunned when he heard this, he was from Jinyiwei, he naturally knew how powerful Jinyiwei was, and when he heard that the person Li Wei wanted to investigate had something to do with Jinyiwei, he immediately became vigilant.
"The subordinates understand, the prince can rest assured!"
Chen Su said solemnly.
Li Wei nodded slightly, and then ordered: "In this way, you can directly form an organization similar to Jinyiwei by the way, personnel can be recruited from craftsmen and merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, there are not many people, loyalty is the most important, remember to be careful and secretive, especially in the Chamber of Commerce, it is estimated that there are already a lot of Jinyiwei's eyeliner, be sure to avoid them!" ”
Chen Su glanced up at him, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard his instructions.
He has long had this intention, but without Li Wei's support, he has no money, no one can do anything, and now since he has Li Wei's orders, then he can let it go!
"Yes! Subordinates obey! Chen Su respectfully accepted the order.
Li Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to let him retreat.
Chen Su suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned around and left, and began to carry out Li Wei's confessions.
Li Wei, on the other hand, sat alone in the study, almost sleepless all night, and when he arrived, he directly changed into court clothes and left the mansion.
Outside the noon gate, the ministers arrived early as before, waiting for the morning court.
Zhu Yuanzhang easily didn't dare to be late at this time, and if he was late, he would not only have to deduct the money, but also receive the court staff, which was not a joke.
When Li Wei arrived, the ministers were basically all there, and everyone was surprised when they saw him.
Wang Jie and other Li Party members were naturally pleasantly surprised, their simple Guogong was finally willing to come out to participate in the early dynasty, which was a great thing for them, as long as Li Wei went to that station in the court, even if he didn't speak, it would add a lot of confidence to their Li Party.
