The matter in the court soon reached Li Wei's ears, not only Wu Shen and others would inform him in time, but also Wang Jinghong in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang strictly forbade eunuchs to interfere in politics, and Wang Jinghong never left the palace again since he returned from the conquest, until Li Wei asked Chen Su to form a night guard, and then contacted him again and secretly exchanged news.

In the Ordnance Bureau, Chen Su reported to him the news he got from all sides, and Li Wei listened quietly, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

No matter how beneficial the ministers are, they are also ministers, if the emperor really wants to rectify it, there are still many ways, especially the founding monarch like Zhu Yuanzhang, who is in power, if he is reckless, no one can stop him from killing directly, he can be so majestic now, it is nothing more than not to the point where Zhu Yuanzhang turns his face.

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

However, he has also made full preparations, and these new northern scholars and those students will definitely become a new force in the court in the future.

"Good work."

After Chen Su finished speaking, Li Wei chuckled.

Chen Su smiled respectfully: "It is an honor for subordinates to share the worries of the country!" ”

Li Wei bowed his head slightly, he didn't care about it before, but after going through so many things, he also understood that these politeness was sometimes necessary.

"By the way, how is the matter with Abu that I asked you to investigate?" Li Wei gave a simple word of encouragement, then changed his words and asked about the previous arrangement.

Chen Su's face suddenly became serious, and he muttered for a while before saying: "Grandpa Hui, according to my investigation, in recent times, in addition to practicing guards in the military camp, Abu has often taken time to go back to his home, and he has also met with the second lady in private a few times. ”

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

Abu saw Xiaoqing in private?

Why?

Some bad pictures flashed in Li Wei's mind, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Make it clear!" Li Wei said in a deep voice.

Seeing that his face was not good, Chen Su didn't dare to hesitate, and directly said the news he knew carefully.

"Yes! According to my investigation, Abu seems to have been in contact with the second lady all the time, and it seems that the relationship is not ordinary, and I also accidentally found out that Abu had bought cold medicine at the pharmacy many times before. ”

Chen Su secretly paid attention to Li Wei's expression and said cautiously.

After Li Wei heard this, his heart was cold.

Abu and Xiaoqing have always been in contact, why do they have a relationship? And I also bought her cold medicine, which is the ancient contraceptive pill, which is usually poisonous, which is very harmful to women!

Could it be that Abu is also a spy of Zhu Yuanzhang's faction, so he has a connection with Xiaoqing? Or, for another, even more unacceptable reason!

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

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

Li Wei's face was distorted, and a burst of uncontrollable anger surged in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said to Chen Su: "Call him to me immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Su didn't dare to say more, so he got up and did it.

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

Chen Su's heart sank, and he hugged his fists again, Li Wei waved his hand, and then he turned around and left.

In a military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Abu and Dehuochi, as well as several Li Wei students such as Lu Hong and Zhang Tie, who had newly entered the barracks, were strolling together to inspect the drills of Li Wei's 3,000 guards.

Abu was the chief general of Wu Yong's army under Li Wei's order, and although Lu Hong and the others were all young men who had just come in, as Li Wei's personal students, their status was naturally unusual, so they put their posture very low in front of them.

"Look, my lord, these recruits are doing well, right?" Dehuo Chi pointed to the recruits in the drill queue on the school field.

Abu glanced at the words and nodded slightly.

Li Wei transferred his previous 3,000 guards out and placed them in the water division, and now these are all newly recruited and retrained.

Those guards who entered the water division, although they ate the official meal, but their background determined that they would still be loyal to Li Wei, the old master, which was also where Li Wei's confidence in mastering the water division was the confidence.

In the gap between the exchange between Abu and Dehuochi, Lu Hong suddenly interjected: "My lord, can you arrange for us to practice as well?" ”

After he and these classmates entered the barracks, they were arranged to eat and drink by Dehuochi, and they had no intention of letting them participate in the training.

They were offered as little masters, but Lu Hong and the others were not willing to do so, after all, they were all ambitious teenagers, and Li Wei also had high expectations for them, of course they didn't want to just mess around.

Hearing Lu Hong speak, Zhang Tie and Wang Dazhi next to him also looked at Abu with hope on their faces.

Abu also understood Li Wei's importance to these students, and after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll let someone arrange it for you later, from basic drills to operational command, there will be no less." ”

Lu Hong and the others naturally won't just train queues or something like those ordinary soldiers, they will definitely be commanders in the future.

"Great!"

Lu Hong and the others glanced at each other and were immediately pleasantly surprised.

"Thank you, Commander."

Everyone thanked them, and Abu nodded slightly.

While a few people were talking, they suddenly saw Chen Su walking over with someone.

These people led by Chen Su are obviously very different from the people in the barracks, in addition to the different clothes, they also have a cold temperament, which is diametrically opposed to these masculine soldiers in the army.

Seeing Chen Su coming with someone, Abu and Dehuochi and the others stopped talking, and the smiles on their faces were put away.

"Hehe, Lord Commander, are you busy?"

Chen Su walked in front of everyone and greeted Abu with a smile and a cordial attitude.

Abu glanced at him and arched his hand casually.

To be honest, they don't like this cold and cruel guy very well.

After Chen Su greeted him, he nodded to Tuo Yanchi and the others, and then said to him, "Abu, grandpa has something to look for you." ”

"What is the master looking for me?" Abu was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, grandpa didn't say it, you will know when you go." Chen Su said with a smile.

Abu glanced at these people around him, a different color flashed in his eyes, and Chen Su was not in a hurry, so he waited for him to reply with a smile on his face.

After a moment of silence, Abu said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to the defire equator and said, "The matter of training will be handed over to you first." ”

"Okay, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely practice well." Dehuo patted his chest and reassured.

Abu nodded, and left alone with Chen Su and the others.

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

"Sir."

Abu first bowed respectfully when he entered the house, while Chen Su and the others surrounded Abu in the middle in a semi-encircled situation.

Abu looked at them, and at this time he also saw that something was wrong, but he didn't say much, and after saluting, he looked at Li Wei calmly.

Li Wei stared at him coldly, and after a long time, he asked, "Do you have anything to hide from me?" ”

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

Li Wei's eyes were even colder, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly, "What is your relationship with Xiaoqing?" ”

Abu let out a light breath, slowly straightened his waist, his attitude was no longer as respectful as before, and said with a relieved tone: "I am her brother. ”

"What?" Li Wei's expression froze, and he was directly stunned.

What the hell is this?

Abu is Xiaoqing's older brother?

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

Li Wei looked confused, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Chen Su on the side was also stunned, obviously not expecting this to be the case.

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

Abu glanced at him, "Why do you think I would be faithful to you?" ”

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

"Wang Ba?" Abu looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why he had spoken to himself.

"Uh......" Li Wei was a little embarrassed, and secretly despised the other party for not understanding the stalk.

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

"Yes!"

Chen Su also knew that it was a little inappropriate for him to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and left the house with his subordinates to guard outside.

After they left, Li Weicai turned his gaze to Abu again, and still asked with some suspicion: "If this is the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Xiaoqing is a spy, he didn't find out, and it can be said that he was carried away by feelings, but this brother and sister have been under his nose for so long, and he didn't notice it at all, which is a bit too much to say.

"Just like you used to be, tell you what's the use, it's better not to say it than to cause trouble." Abu said with a slight sarcasm.

In the past, when Li Wei first arrived in Daming, he had been looking like a hanger, with no ambitions, and had been lying flat all the time, and later married the princess, although there was some progress, but Abu was still not at ease with him, until he returned from the conquest, Li Wei completely became a trend, and he was officially recognized.

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

"Yes." Abu replied happily.

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

"Hmph, if I were too, would you still be able to sit here unharmed?" Abu said coldly.

Li Wei was speechless.

Indeed, Abu knows too many secrets, and if he also reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have been imprisoned long ago even if he didn't die.

After Abu finished speaking, he followed and said: "Qing'er is also involuntarily, don't blame her." Actually, she did a lot for you. ”

Although Xiaoqing was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to spy on Li Wei, Li Wei has done more taboo things over the years, but Xiaoqing did not report them, but silently helped him hide them.

Li Wei was silent, and after a while, he let out a sigh and asked, "Is she also acting on orders when she takes medicine?" ”

Abu was slightly stunned 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 background?" ”

"Speak!" Li Wei said immediately.

Of course, he wanted to know Xiaoqing's background, although he had already guessed some after Chen Su's investigation, but he didn't know anything about it.

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

Abu spoke for a moment and spoke slowly.

He and Xiaoqing's father is Timur, the king of Huai who stayed in the capital of the former Yuan Dynasty, but the mother of the two is a lowly Han woman, not only does she not have the status of wife and concubine, but even the slaves and maids in the family have a higher status than her, and their mother is like this, so the two of them are naturally no better, and they have been bullied since childhood.

Therefore, Abu worked hard to practice martial arts since he was a child, and when he grew up, he resolutely joined the army, wanting to get ahead by his own efforts, but the Yuan Dynasty was exhausted, and before he had time to climb to a high position, the Yuan Dynasty fell apart, Huizong fled north, Timur was killed without Huachengpo, and he was captured without accident, and finally became a slave.

And Xiaoqing is not much better, although Zhu Yuanzhang treated the Northern Yuan royal family well and did not abuse them, but the bullying from his family has not disappeared.

When Zhu Yuanzhang sent the former Yuan royal family back to the Northern Yuan, Xiaoqing did not follow, but chose to stay in Daming.

After that, he was singled out by Zhu Yuanzhang and sent to Li Wei's side until now.

"Because we were bullied as children, Qing'er doesn't want to have another child and repeat our fate. So when she knew that you were going to 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 it.

"I don't have any concubines here, including Xiaoqing's Anqing, I treat them the same!" Li Wei emphasized.

Abu glanced at him, "Really? ”

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

Abu stared at him for a moment before nodding.

He would have not believed it before, but now he really believes it.

Xiaoqing is now a famous concubine, although she is far from being equal to An Qing, but she has not suffered too much grievances under Li Wei's love.

It's just that recently, after Li Wei discovered her identity, he began to snub her, and even hid in the Ordnance Bureau and didn't even return home.

Abu was also in a hurry, and only then did he reveal his flaws.

He is still very satisfied that Li Wei can find this flaw in him, and secretly says that this guy who is a fool has finally grown up!

It's good to find out now, and there is no need to disguise it in the future. With Li Wei's current power, this trouble is not a big problem.

"If you have time, I'll go back to my house more often, and be kind to Qing'er." Abu said.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

However, when he saw Abu's preachy appearance, he immediately rolled his eyes in displeasure.

"Let's talk about it, although you are Xiaoqing's brother, but one horse is one horse, I will still call you Abu in the future, you ...... Well, you just do it. ”

It is a little awkward to mention his eldest brother Li Wei, because his daughter-in-law is young, whether it is Zhu Biao or Abu, they are younger than him, but he can't pull off his old face and call them brothers.

"Whatever." Abu didn't care.

Li Wei saw that he knew each other, and he also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling the idea of letting him go to the side to cool off.

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

When Abu heard this, he briefly told him about the training of the recruits, including the request of his students to participate in the training.

Li Wei bowed his head lightly: "Well, you just practice them normally, you're welcome, I have high hopes for these students, but I can't waste them on me!" ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

Abu nodded in agreement, and said, "Actually, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you. ”

"You ask." Li Wei said casually.

Abu hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You cultivated these guards and Chen Su's people, do you really want to take the throne?" ”

After Abu finished speaking, his eyes stared at Li Wei tightly, waiting for his answer. (End of chapter)
