After Chen Su left, Li Wei sat for a while, and only sighed after a long time.

Although Chen Su only found out this scattered news, it is not difficult to guess Xiaoqing's origin by linking Xu Yao's past.

As for the exact identity, it doesn't matter now, and he doesn't want to delve into it anymore.

At this time, it was getting late, but Li Wei had no intention of leaving, but ordered someone to tidy up a room for him in the Ordnance Bureau and live for the time being.

Lately he doesn't want to go home.

……

Chen Su secretly organized another "Jinyi Guard", and the genuine Jinyi Guard, under the instruction of Mao Xiang, quickly found out the abnormalities of Li Wei in the past two days and reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, in addition to being more active in the government and getting closer to the old ones in the past few days, Li Wei has not done anything to violate the law and discipline, as for the plans in his heart, they are just plans. If there is suspicion, there is only one way to let Chen Su secretly form a secret organization.

But Chen Su was already cautious, and he was even more cautious under his repeated instructions, and Jin Yiwei had not noticed his actions for the time being.

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang did not find out what Chen Su was secretly doing, it did not affect his suspicion of Li Wei.

On this morning, Li Wei was still the protagonist in the hall, participating everywhere, caring about everything, although not everything was to the point, but it was also necessary from reality, and everything he said was justified.

At the end of the early dynasty, as soon as he walked out of the main hall, a little eunuch stopped him.

"Han Guogong, Your Majesty summons."

The little eunuch bowed his head and was respectful.

When the people who followed Li Wei saw this, they immediately made a statement.

"Guogong is really in the heart of the emperor, it seems that His Majesty has something important to discuss with you."

"The prince of the country is really the pillar of the country!"

"yes, yes......"

Before the little eunuch could say anything, this group of people praised Li Wei to the sky, as if His Majesty would not be able to do anything without him.

Li Wei has been doing things for many years, of course he won't believe these nonsense, so he waved his hand at will to stop everyone, and then said to the little eunuch: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes!"

The little eunuch didn't dare to say much, so he promised to lead the way ahead.

Li Wei followed him to the Jinshen Palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang was already sitting on the top waiting for him.

"See Your Majesty."

Li Wei bowed his hand, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he examined him for a moment before saying, "Excuse me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei straightened up, his eyes lowered, and waited quietly for him to ask.

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally broke the silence.

"I heard that you yelled at home at night a few days ago, what did you say, change your life against the sky, who regretted it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked careless, but what he said made Li Wei's heart sink!

It is certain that there are spies in the Horse Mansion, and he himself knows that he couldn't suppress his anger for a while that day, and he shouted so loudly that it was not surprising that his subordinates heard it and reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said this, showing that he was warning him.

But this warning, instead of making him afraid, only did not make him afraid, but the anger in his heart increased!

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, it seemed that he should be the emperor to spy on his courtiers, but Li Wei would not think so.

"It's just some housework, the strange minister didn't control it for a while, and he shouted too loudly to disturb His Majesty, and asked Your Majesty for forgiveness!"

Li Wei said without being salty, with a hint of sarcasm between his words, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the palace, no matter how loud he roared, it was impossible to hear it, and it was impossible to talk about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face instantly turned cold: "What if we don't forgive our sins?" ”

"The minister is naturally at the mercy of the fate." Li Wei said calmly.

Hearing his words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was even more ugly, although Li Wei said that he was at his disposal, but if he really didn't punish him, an important minister of the court, there would definitely be a bunch of ministers in the court tomorrow to intercede for him, and it would inevitably be another trouble.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly, and suddenly said: "I heard that Anqing is happy again, you can accompany him at home for a while now, and you don't have to come to the court every day!" ”

Li Wei's face changed slightly, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to drive him out of the court directly!

Li Wei was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, and said, "What, our will doesn't work?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister obeys!"

Li Wei gave up his hand.

If you don't come, you won't come, and you can't only participate in court politics if you enter the court, you can do many things in private!

"That's good, stand down!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted coldly.

Li Wei didn't stay, and bowed and left.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his back and couldn't help but twitch his cheeks.

Li Wei is his son-in-law, and after all, he is still a family, in fact, he didn't think about what to do with Li Wei, and his power was also cut just in case.

When he mentioned An Qing and the child just now, he was thinking about family affection and hoping that this kid could be more stable, but looking at this situation, he obviously said it in vain, and this kid didn't listen to it at all!

"Spy, spy, spy, you think you're going to use spies!"

Li Wei walked out of the palace angrily, scolding in his heart. Li Wei really didn't listen, but was even more annoyed.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mention that he wasn't so angry, but now Zhu Yuanzhang made it so clear that he had planted spies around him, which made him even more angry!

Isn't it just a human flesh camera, Zhu Yuanzhang can use it, he can use it, and when Chen Su collected manpower, he decided to train this organization himself, he has watched so many spy war dramas before, haven't you eaten pork and never seen a pig run? What kind of password code, all that can be used can be used, he still doesn't believe that he can't make a secret intelligence organization that far surpasses Jinyiwei!

When the time comes, he will spy on this dead old man in turn, and find out to him how long he has been playing with which concubine he has been playing with at night!

and those spies in his own house, all of them were cleared out for him!

Li Wei secretly hated and thought fiercely.

The holy decree could not be ignored, and since this day, Li Wei has never been to the early court.

However, his influence has already been unfolded, even if he doesn't go to the early dynasty now, many things have to be consulted by others, such as what crime rate he suggested to the criminal department, if the criminal department wants to handle it well, it still has to find him.

In addition, the ministers who have been attached will not treat him as if he does not exist because he does not go to court, after all, it is common for him not to go to court before, and this is normal in the eyes of everyone, and he does not feel any surprise at all.

And Li Wei, although he can't participate in everything, his private actions have not stopped.

A few days after Zhu Yuanzhang's warning, he began to clean up the domestic servants and slaves in the house, and his attitude towards his subordinates was very different from the day before, often reprimanding, beating and scolding, and driving people out of the house as soon as he found an excuse.

When the subordinates of the horse mansion saw that the old man who used to be kind to people suddenly became fierce, they were surprised and frightened at the same time, and they began to be cautious in doing things, for fear of being caught and punished for negligence.

Even so, Li Wei didn't let them go, except for someone like Laifu Abu who could really be trusted, the other subordinates were all driven out of the house by him one after another with excuses, and even Xiaohong, a female official, couldn't stay if An Qing didn't try her best to protect her.

In a few days, the subordinates of the Horse Mansion were changed, and the newly recruited were either the family members of the craftsmen or the innocent people found from other places.

Not only that, but he also set strict rules for these newcomers, where they can go and where they can't go, they are determined to die, even if there is Jinyiwei's eyeliner among them, it is not so easy to find out the news.

After rectifying the mansion, Li Wei began to attack the guards again.

Wu Yong was assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the guards who originally came to the Horse Mansion, were all transferred to inconsequential positions by him, and Wu Yong was even removed from the position of guard commander and temporarily handed over to Abu to take care of.

It just so happened that many of his students also wanted to join the army, so he directly installed people in the army.

These guards of his are all arranged to hold important positions in the sailors, as long as they can control these guards, but they can indirectly control the army, just like the three thousand Zhuang slaves of Lanyu in history, with these loyal subordinates, they can command the army like an arm.

After arranging the guards, he personally took Lu Xiu Ye Qing and other students who wanted to become officials to the academy and handed them over to Fang Xiaoru.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, the poem copied by Li Wei is not known to be passed on by whom, and these prisoners who ran to the Minghuang Academy also know Li Wei's credit, although the quota is given by the prince, but Li Wei and Fang Xiaoru's role in it is the most important, and these students are also grateful to them.

Now that Li Wei has personally brought people, it is very simple to want a few places, Fang Xiaoru did not stop him, Lu Xiu and others were all taught by him, and he agreed after a simple assessment.

and the Chamber of Commerce, which also arranged for Jia Jinming and other students to go in.

Li Wei's actions quickly attracted the attention of Jin Yiwei and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Bastard! This dog really wants to rebel and can't do it! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after reading the information presented by Mao Xiang.

Mao Xiang lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded a few words, his eyes fell on him, and said coldly: "Go, send us more people, closely monitor every move of this dog thing, and report it to us immediately if there is any difference!" ”

"Yes!"

Mao Xiaogong claimed that it was, got up and hurried away.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were sharp, looking at Li Wei's actions recorded in the booklet in his hand, and his anger was hard to dissipate.

He didn't expect that the reckless but straightforward dog thing who used to be unwilling to give officials has now become like Li Shanchang and others, with heretics!

This powerful minister he single-handedly cultivated to restrain the nobles of Huaixi has now become a new confidant!

"Hmph, we can lift you up, we can also press you down, bastard, even you want to turn the sky upside down?"

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself gloomily. Although Li Wei is powerful now, as long as he is there, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down!

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Mao Xiang quickly increased the monitoring of Li Wei, but now Li Wei is not as monitored as before, in addition to the strengthening of management in the house, there are also guards around to patrol, and it is very difficult for Jinyiwei to listen to the news of his house without revealing himself.

In addition to surveillance, Zhu Yuanzhang also had other arrangements, first of all, many imperial histories in the court suddenly played to impeach him for abusing his subordinates, which violated benevolence.

Originally, this kind of trivial matter, not to mention that he was a dignified and dignified man, even those low-grade civil servants and even under the wealth, it was a common thing.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang heard the impeachment of these imperial histories, he was immediately furious, and the court issued a severe reprimand, and also fined him, if it weren't for Hu Hai, Wang Jie and other civil and military personnel who pleaded one after another, they would have been punished even more heavily.

Li Wei knew this, but he didn't care at all, and the reprimand was just a deaf ear, the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and it didn't matter if he was lucky, whether he loved it or not, he didn't miss that bit of money and food.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang found out some of his previous mistakes, and he scolded him at every turn.

The courtiers also gradually sensed that something was wrong, and the people who belonged to the Li Party were even more uneasy.

But many of their subordinates and family members were arranged by Li Wei to enter the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, and they could get a lot of income every month, even higher than their own salary, and they were not willing to give up easily.

After tossing for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have a headache.

Although Li Wei has made small mistakes, he has never made real big mistakes, and things like corruption and bending the law have never been touched.

After tossing for a while, for the sake of the stability of the court, Zhu Yuanzhang also temporarily put down his affairs and put the government first.

Time was in a hurry, and as soon as the New Year passed, the imperial court began to prepare for the examination.

The examination is commonly known as the spring examination, which is naturally held in the spring, usually in February, mainly by the Ministry of Rites, and the reopening of the imperial examination is extraordinary, in order to show the importance of it, the prince Zhu Biao also personally participated.

Before the exam, Li Wei called Lu Xiu, Ye Qingyun and others over and gave them instructions in person.

In fact, he has nothing to point out about, he doesn't know anything about those sage classics, and he has taught everything else that should be taught.

This time he called a few people over to guess the question.

He didn't know the topic of the exam, but he could still guess the strategy of the palace exam.

The palace examination in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was nominally the emperor's questions, but in fact, Hanlin did the work, after all, some emperors didn't even go to the court, let alone expect him to be able to take the exam in person.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is different, he, the founding emperor, has always been diligent in government, and he can't wait to do everything himself, so the topic of this palace exam must be from him.

And with his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, it is not difficult to guess what he cares about.

If these questions are answered according to those Confucian knowledge, they are nothing more than quoting scriptures and following the ancient system, and these will definitely not satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang.

And he can designate from this aspect, so that Lu Xiu and others can make different answers, at least differently.

And he also believes that his answer sheet based on reality can make Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shine even more.

These students of the Ming Emperor Academy have accepted his new education, and they have not fallen behind the Confucian classics, if they are purely Confucian, I am afraid they will not be the opponents of those nerds, but with these practical learning, they will definitely be much stronger than those moral gentlemen in politics.
