Chapter 100 Gradually close the net

Chapter 100 Gradually closing the Internet

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled casually and nodded, "If you have any requests, the emperor will just say it."

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that Li Wei was not in the position of Jinyiwei, and some people made things difficult for him. A few days ago, he unfortunately broke his arm and was at home. So I asked my father to transfer him to the Eastern Palace. I wanted to use him as the commander of the Eastern Palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He had no idea about this. Li Weizheng actually broke his arm and was still embarrassed. What's going on? He was surprised, but he smiled at Zhu Biao on his face and said, "I understand the love of talent in the emperor, but I will be of other use to Li Weizheng. I will not give it to you in the first or two years. I promise you that I will return him to you in one or two years. As for the vacancy of your guard guard in the East Palace, I will allow you to appoint a deputy thousand households to temporarily manage it."

Seeing that Zhu Biao was about to say something else, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't argue with your father about this."

Zhu Biao then understood that his father also liked Li Weizheng and wanted to use him to do things. It was hard to say if he was willing to return it to him a year or two. Seeing that he could not get back to Li Weizheng, he had to give up this matter temporarily and make Li Weizheng the representative of his Jinyiwei. As for the commander of the Eastern Palace Guard, since his father allowed him to appoint him himself, he decided to use Yang Ning as a deputy.

Helplessly, Zhu Biao bowed to his father and said goodbye. When the prince left, the guard Miao, who had been waiting outside the door, walked into the imperial study and placed the wooden box taken from the Jinyiwei on Zhu Yuanzhang's jade case. He pointed to the top red report and said: "Your Majesty, this is my encounter with Deputy Qianhu Fei of the Third Office of the Jinyiwei on the way. He said that there is a major matter to report urgently and it is not too late to give it to Commander Jiang for approval."

"What a major thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang tore open the envelope and shook the report. He saw Li Weizheng's approval at the bottom of the report at a glance. Didn't he break his arm? How could he still sign it?

After reading the content, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became angry. The content of Li Weizheng's red report angered his reverse scale. This was a great humiliation that no emperor could tolerate, let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, who was famous for his dictatorship and killing. A small guard Zhou Ji dared to commit suicide in his inner palace. Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was not yelling or slashing people with a knife, but a silence, a deep hatred. This hatred could be seen from his slightly trembling hand. He put down the report with his trembling hand, staring at the red pen on the table for a long time. The murderous intent burst out in his heart again. He had wanted to kill Zhou Dexing, but this time he ran into the door.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was the king of a country after all, and he quickly calmed down after being furious. Zhou Dexing was no more than an ordinary minister. As the report said very clearly, this was just a rumor and could not be confirmed. Therefore, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Zhou Dexing, he needed a conclusive evidence. After calming down for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's attention was attracted by another abnormality. He had actually discovered the subtlety of this report, which was the direct report of Qianhu, the Jinyiwei Qianhu. This situation was rare, and there was usually a hidden story. He remembered what the prince said to him just now. Li Wei was excluded by the Jinyiwei and fell off his arm to rest at home. Since he could still report it to him at home, and using this special method of direct report, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but realize something.

He pondered for a moment, and then ordered the guards to say, "Go and call Jiang Yan."

The guards went, and Zhu Yuanzhang read the report carefully again, and before he knew it, he fell into deep thought. He remembered his hint to Li Weizheng when he summoned Li Weizheng in the imperial study room to rectify the military discipline of the Jinyiwei. Li Weizheng was boycotted as soon as he took office. What would he use? He broke his arm and waited for the opportunity. What was that opportunity? It was nothing more than a handle to catch people. For this matter, he reminded himself in a direct way, was he begging him to give him this opportunity?

Frankly speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not like others to suggest himself in this way. He felt that he had lost his superiority and became a participant in a case. However, if Li Weizheng really planned to use this matter to clear the military discipline of the Jinyiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang could tolerate it. Of course, he had a deeper intention to appoint Li Weizheng as the Jinyiwei Qianhu. Is Li Weizheng capable of completing his tasks? It just happened to use this matter to examine this person and see how he solved the problem of taking over the power of the three institutes.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes began to turn to Li Weizheng again.

After a moment, Jiang Yan hurried over, and he knelt down and saluted respectfully, "My minister Jiang Yan, please see Your Majesty!"

"Jiang Aiqing, the prince just asked me to transfer Li Weizheng to the Eastern Palace. What do you think about this?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not go straight to the point, but instead used a Tai Chi punch and made a fake move.

Jiang Yan didn't understand what the emperor said for a long time. He said carefully: "I also heard that Li Weizheng encountered some minor problems when he first arrived at the Third Office. I asked specifically that this was actually a time difference in connection. He happened to meet the Three Training Institute. He wanted to review the following report and could not lead the team in person, which gave people the illusion that someone was making things difficult for him. I originally wanted to coordinate the matter for them, but he fell and injured in the afternoon. So I planned to summon more than 100 households to give a speech after his injury was healed and recovered, and completely eliminated the misunderstanding. Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also heard about this matter and thought of transferring him away."

"So that's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "This is a small problem. He is a newcomer without any qualifications. Of course, the old man will have some thoughts in his heart. This is human nature, and it is the same everywhere. You don't need to take special care of it. Just let it go. If he can't handle this little thing well, what qualifications are there to be in a thousand households, I will be very disappointed with him."

"I will not interfere in this matter in particular."

"It's not that you don't want you to interfere. The key is to see what matters. When you should be in charge, you still have to take action." Seeing that he seemed to not understand what he meant, Zhu Yuanzhang clicked him again.

"I must do it according to the emperor's wishes." Although Jiang Yan still did not understand the emperor's profound meaning, he knew one thing. The emperor was actually paying attention to this matter, and there must be some articles in this matter.

Jiang Yan was the commander and in charge of the Jinyiwei. According to the theory, he should be very clear about all aspects of the Jinyiwei. For example, the princes reached in, but precisely because he sat high, he did not understand many of the following things. He only heard about the princes reaching into the Jinyiwei, but he knew nothing about the specific situation. In fact, he didn't want to know. If he knew too much, he would be difficult to deal with.

He didn't know that Zhao Yue had defected to the King of Qin, so he did not see the deeper side behind the dispute between Zhao Yue and Li Weizheng. He just thought that it was Zhao Yue's character. These Jinyi Guards have always been arrogant. It would take some effort to make them convinced. How could Li Weizheng settle them so easily? But now that the emperor is also paying attention to this matter, he has to do his best.

Seeing that he seemed to understand what he meant, Zhu Yuanzhang put his thoughts back to Zhou Ji's affairs. He said coldly: "I heard a rumor that the guard Zhou Ji seemed to have done something shameless in the palace. I will limit you to investigate this matter within two days."

Jiang Qi quickly agreed, "I obey the order, let's make arrangements now, please give up!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then casually ordered: "Leave this matter to the three institutes, I can trust them."

The next thing went smoothly. After Jiang Yan returned to the Jinyiwei General Office, he immediately called Zhao Yue and Fei Ting'an to find out the situation of Zhou Ji's crime in the palace within one day. Fei Ting'an was secretly happy. There was a chance for this matter. They went back to discuss and decided to divide the work and cooperate. Zhao Yuezhu investigated Zhou Ji himself, and Fei Ting'an was responsible for collecting circumstantial evidence. The two arranged their subordinates to investigate each other.

After Jiang Yin explained the matter, he considered how to resolve the conflict between Li Weizheng and Zhao Yue in the room. The plan he thought of was to transfer Zhao Yue to Fengyang Second Office and transfer Wu Chengsi from Fengyang to the three offices. This person is low-key and easy to get along with others, but his ability is also slightly poor, but he is a little undecided. The prince wanted to bring Li Weizheng back, but the emperor did not make a clear statement. If Zhao Yue was just transferred and Li Weizheng returned to the East Palace, there would be no one in the three offices.

At this time, Lu Siyuan's thin figure appeared at the door, and he chuckled softly: "Why are you worried about something?"

Jiang Yan sighed and said, "This Wang Yue is really unreasonable. The prince has already complained to the emperor."

Lu Siyuan already knew that the prince sent someone to visit Li Weizheng. He had been waiting for the prince's actions. Unexpectedly, it took five days to get news. Although he was anxious now and was eager to know what the prince said to the emperor, he also knew that he could not express his urgent situation. Jiang Yan was on the verge of awakening in this matter, and if he was too anxious, he would reveal his flaws.

"Justice Fei Qianhu said just now that it seems that Zhou Dexing's son had committed something?" Lu Siyuan changed the subject.

"That's right. The emperor called me and said he had heard some rumors. I think the emperor was in a bad mood. I guess something was going to happen to Lao Zhou."

Jiang Yan gently rubbed his temples, and his headache was so bad that Li Weizheng's affairs were like a huge rock, pressing heavily into his heart. He hoped to get good advice.

He raised his head and frowned and said, "The prince said he wanted to transfer Li Weizheng back to the Eastern Palace. I guess Li Weizheng must have asked the prince for help, so the prince used this method to put pressure on the emperor. It is really difficult for me to do the trick of trying to get!"

"What is the emperor's attitude towards this matter?" Lu Siyuan finally couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"The emperor's attitude is very vague. He said that he told me not to interfere in this matter and let Li Weizheng solve it himself. But I also knew that if this matter ended up being a big deal, it would affect the case handling. No matter how bad it is, I plan to transfer Wang Yue to Fengyang to exchange with Wu Chengsi."

"My sir!" Lu Siyuan was shocked. He originally wanted Zhao Yue to squeeze Li Weizheng away, or to reach a compromise with Li Weizheng to retain an independent power. Everyone should not violate the rivers, but Jiang Yan wanted to transfer Zhao Yue to Fengyang. Then wouldn't he lose a handful of rice without stealing the chicken? He waved his hands repeatedly to object.

"Why not?" Jiang Yan looked at him in surprise, and Lu Siyuan's sudden increase in voice surprised him.

Lu Siyuan's thought flashed quickly, and he hurriedly said, "I was shocked by the idea of ​​the adults. I also knew that Wu Chengsi was not capable. At the beginning of the year, Dingyuan's assassination was actually his dereliction of duty. Fortunately, the emperor did not hold him accountable. If he came to the Three Institutes, plus one of Fitingan, who had just been promoted, and one of Li Weizheng, who had no experience, the Three Institutes would really collapse. Zhao Yue really had a bad temper, but he was the pillar of the Three Institutes. Even the emperor praised him for his ability. It would be impossible to lack him. I suggest that the adults should mediate the conflict between them. One of them would give in. Adults, enemies should be resolved rather than acquainted!"

Jiang Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Actually, I'm also worried that Li Wei would be transferred to the East Palace. It would be a bit unreasonable to transfer Zhao Yue back then. Your suggestion is very good. When his injury is slightly healed, I will be the mediator and let them give in to each other, at least not to stab me in this matter."

Jiang Yan was obviously a little dissatisfied with Li Weizheng, so he actually used the prince to put pressure on himself.

Lu Siyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this result was not the most ideal, he could at least give the King of Qin an explanation. Next, he had to consider how to obtain the greatest benefits in the negotiations.

As Lu Siyuan commented, Zhao Yue was indeed very capable. In less than two hours, he asked Zhou Ji to explain it in his original form. Zhou Ji was tall and handsome, born in a noble family, and was very good at sweet talk. Under his seduction, several palace maids had an affair with him for two years. Two of them had been pregnant and miscarriages many times. In order to cover up the matter, he spent a lot of money to block the mouths of other guards in the matter. The Jinyiwei immediately arrested the relevant palace maids, and several palace maids confessed.

Fitingan also obtained circumstantial evidence. Several doctors confirmed that they had given Zhou Ji abortion medicine. Some guards also admitted that they knew about this. They had complete evidence and evidence. That night, a detailed report was sorted out. Jiang Qi reported the matter secretly to Zhu Yuanzhang overnight.

The night seemed to be nervous. Fitingan also returned home after completing a day's investigation, but after he circled around the capital, he came to the mansion of Li Weizheng, the teacher bridge of Liu Jun.

In the room, Li Wei was quietly listening to him about the whole case. Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang accepting his direct report and concealing the matter from Jiang Yan, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously accepted his plan, so he could do it with his arms.

The entry point is the Zhou Ji case. With Zhou Ji's sins being serious, killing him is no longer enough to relieve his hatred. This case will inevitably involve Zhou Dexing. Li Wei was thinking for a moment and asked, "Do you know where Zhou Dexing's mansion is?"

"It's behind Yingtian Prefecture." Fei Tingan hesitated and asked, "Does sir want to use the Zhou Dexing case to defeat Zhao Yue?"

Li Wei nodded, as if he was talking to him, as if he was talking to himself: "I will never be tired of deceitful soldiers. In order to ensure that this matter is safe, it seems that I have to make another gesture."

Fitingan didn't understand what Li Weizheng meant, so he asked again: "What do you need me to do?"

Li Weizheng glanced at him and smiled, "You only have one task, that is, when you were raiding Zhou Dexing's house with Zhao Yue, you should find an opportunity to leave."

Fitingan seemed to be thinking, and he nodded slowly. This was a wonderful way.

After Fetingan left, Li Wei was leaving. He was riding a carriage with more than a dozen Jinyi Guards guarding him. The carriage was galloping all the way to Zhao Yue's house in Jiangning County.

A follower went up to knock on the door. After a moment, the door opened. He said a few words to the doorkeeper and came back and said, "Sir, Zhao Qianhu has not come home yet. He has sent someone to bring a letter to the house. He will go home for dinner."

"Okay! We'll wait for him here."

More than a dozen people were guarding the carriage and waiting quietly in the night. About a quarter of an hour later, a sound of horse hooves approached from afar. More than a dozen horses galloped. The person in charge of the leader was Zhao Yue, the third deputy Qianhu. He saw the carriage waiting at the door and a dozen Jinyiwei, and he was stunned and slowed down his horse speed. Li Wei was pushing the carriage and smiling on his face. A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Yue's eyes, and then he returned to his coldness. He bowed and said, "Is there anything wrong with Lord Qianhu so late?"

Li Wei was hanging his hand on his chest. He couldn't salute, so he nodded and said sincerely: "I think there seem to be a lot of misunderstandings between me and Lord Zhao. I will go to court in two days. I want to have a good talk with Lord Zhao before going to court, and be open and honest with each other, and find a solution that everyone can accept."

Zhao Yue stared at him for a while, suddenly jumped off his horse, waved his hand and said, "Master Qianhu, please!"

Li Wei was following him into the study. Zhao Yue ordered people to arrange wine and food. He personally poured Li Wei Zheng a glass of wine, picked up the glass and said, "Just because you said that just now, 'Look for a plan that everyone can accept', I'll have a glass with you for this sentence."

He drank it all, and Li Weizheng also drank the wine. He pondered for a moment and smiled bitterly, "I'm not hiding it from Zhao Qianhu. My original intention was to enter the Eastern Palace to replace Yu Ping. It was also a thousand households. I actually didn't want to be the Jinyiwei Qianhu. I knew I didn't have the qualifications. For this reason, I begged the prince to plead for the emperor several times, but by accident, I still stayed in the Jinyiwei. There was no way, so Lord Zhao had some prejudice against me, and I could understand it and did not resent Lord Zhao."

Li Weizheng spoke extremely sincerely, and Zhao Yue felt a little embarrassed. He also sighed and said, "Actually, there is nothing to prejudice. Everything comes first and then comes. I have been a deputy Qianhu family for eight years, but the superiors ignore it. I am so embarrassed in front of my hands."

Li Wei poured him a glass of wine with one hand and smiled, "Where is me, I am determined to go back to the East Palace. The prince sent someone to see me two days ago, and I begged the prince again to transfer me back. The prince agreed, so it is only a matter of time before I go back to the East Palace, but it will take one or two months at the earliest. During this period, I hope I can get along with Lord Zhao, so that I will not let me be held accountable by the superiors. To show my sincerity, I can ask Lord Zhao to come up with a plan to get along."

Zhao Yue suddenly laughed, and he knew that Li Weizheng would surrender. There were seven of the ten hundred households who listened to him. Even if he had the prince's backing, he thought that if Jiang Yan said a few words for him, would the hundred households below change their minds and obedient? It was not so easy. It seems that this kid is not stupid. He saw this, so he came to find a compromise solution.

Zhao Yue picked up the wine and drank it and said, "Then I will just say that out of ten hundred households, I want five hundred households, and the other five hundred households. If the adults can control Fitingan, then we are actually half the share, and Lord Li will not suffer any loss. What about this?"
