Chapter 99: Waiting for the opportunity

After a storm caused a storm on the first day, it quickly subsided. Fewer people talked about this matter every day. Five days later, this matter was almost forgotten. The situation of the three institutes is no different from before Li Weizheng took office. Two deputy thousand households took turns to deal with the affairs of the three institutes, as if there was no matter of the three new thousand households at all.

But opportunities always give those who are prepared. On the sixth night, a report from a whistleblower ignited the long-standing powder barrel. As it turns out, this report finally changed the pattern of the entire Jinyiwei.

That evening, he closed his room for five days and drank the medicine for five days. Li Wei finally couldn't stand it anymore. He got up and put on a coat. He took advantage of Qianqian's uneasy pencil shop and went to the store to take a look. He slipped out of the house. Of course, he was not alone. Five people followed him closely. The surveillance man in front of the mansion was still there, but he was not as arrogant as he had squatted at the door a few days ago. Since Fitingan sent more than 40 brothers to protect him nearby, the surveillance man stayed away from the gate and squatted out more than a hundred steps away.

More than forty brothers were divided into two shifts, one during the day and the other at night, and saw Lord Qianhu coming out, and the brothers hiding everywhere appeared and greeted him with fists. Li Weizheng was both moved and ashamed. He waved his hands to thank the brothers. At this time, Baihu Luo Guang came out of the alley opposite and knelt down on one knee and said, "Sir, please see Lord Qianhu."

Li Weizheng once suspected Luo Guangcai's sincerity, but Fitingan told him that this was a rare person with a poor family and no backstage. He never wanted to bribe the property of the house. He was an alternative to the Jinyiwei. He was very excluded in the Jinyiwei and never used it. The battle of Fishing Sea two years ago was when he investigated the camp of the Northern Yuan Emperor and promptly informed Lan Yu's army. In the end, the Ming Dynasty achieved a decisive victory over the Northern Yuan Dynasty and made such a great achievement. However, he was only raised from a small flag to a general flag, and Zhao Yue, the deputy family, was suppressed by him. The reason why he was promoted from a general flag to a hundred households last year was because he was the martial arts master, and he was the only one of the Jinyiwei. Jiang Yan had face and promoted him particularly.

This time, Li Weizheng was promoted to Qianhu because of the Longmen battle, which made Luo Guang feel a sense of mutual appreciation, which made him see a glimmer of hope and determined to follow Li Weizheng. He refused to train with Zhao Yue, but was beaten by Li Weizheng. Afterwards, Li Weizheng sent someone to appease him, and he realized that Lord Qianhu was actually protecting him. This moved him very much and made him decide to be loyal to Li Weizheng and find his future. This time, Feitingan told him that Li Qianhu Mansion was monitored and needed brothers to protect him. He immediately sent more than forty brothers to protect him. Almost every day after he went to court, he would patrol around Li Weizheng Mansion.

Li Wei was feeling his sincerity, and he immediately stepped forward and helped Luo Guangcai up with one arm. He looked at the burly man and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you these days, thank you!"

"You must be polite, Lord Qianhu, this is my subordinate's responsibility. I also hope Lord Qianhu can return to the three offices as soon as possible."

"It's almost done. I've got a lot of arms. When I get a little better, I'll go to the General Office to work first."

Li Weizheng talked to him and walked, and before he knew it, he came to the Taoist temple a hundred steps away. Li Weizheng had never been here since he moved. Seeing that the Taoist temple was very dilapidated and there seemed to be no one, he smiled at Luo Guangcai and said, "Let's go in and take a look. I've been in the room for a long time, and I'm really suffocating."

He walked into the Taoist temple and saw five or six Jinyiwei lieutenants squatting on the big tree against the wall with bows and arrows. On the east side of the wall was his mansion. Li Wei was smiling and waved to them. At this time, two old Taoist priests walked out of the Taoist temple. The Taoist priests were also ragged and pale and thin. A Taoist priest stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Amitabha Buddha! Welcome the donor to my temple."

The Taoist priests were not blind, and there were so many Jinyiwei lieutenants following Li Weizheng, so he was the head. They didn't understand why so many Jinyiwei suddenly came and refused to leave at night, so they squeezed together to sleep with them.

Li Weizheng nodded slightly and smiled, "Master, I have been disturbed for more than two days. I am your neighbor. Let's see you."

The two Taoist priests were stunned and couldn't help but complain in their hearts. If they were neighbors of the Jinyiwei, would there be any incense in this Taoist temple in the future? They complained in their hearts, but they pretended to be happy on their faces: "It turns out that the donor is our neighbor, it's honor!"

Li Weizheng originally wanted to go to see the authentic exit, but the crowds of people around him were not good enough to go, so he nodded, turned around and came out of the Taoist temple again. As soon as he debuted, he saw a soldier in the Jinyi Guard galloping on a horse. He stopped in front of Li Weizheng, turned over and dismounted, and whispered in Li Weizheng's ear: "Fei Qianhu has an urgent matter, so he is waiting outside and ask Luo Baihu to drive away the surveillance first."

Li Wei was nodding, and he immediately said to Luo Guangcai: "Go and drive away the monitors. From now on, they will no longer be needed."

Luo Guangcai smiled proudly. He immediately took off the longbow on his back, turned over the horse, rushed to the front of the gate, pointed a surveillance officer with a bow and said, "My thousand-household master has an order. You are not welcome here anymore. Let me leave quickly."

After saying that, he drew an arrow, put the bowstring on it, pulled the bow like a full moon, aimed at the man eighty steps away and said, "This arrow is a warning. If you don't leave, you will die!"

After the words came, the wolf tooth arrow broke out, the arrow was like a meteor rushing to the moon, and like a lightning bolt shot towards the monitor's face. The monitor squatting under a tree had just stood up and was panicked. The arrow had already reached his forehead. He was so scared that he was so scared that he was too late to hide. He had to close his eyes and wait for death. The arrow rubbed his scalp and nailed his hat to the tree with a 'dot!'. The rope that tied his hair was also shot, and his hair was dispersed. He was so scared that he screamed, and he ran away. The other two monitors also ran away when they saw that the situation was not good.

Luo Guangcai's magic arrow attracted a lot of applause, and Li Weizheng praised repeatedly, "It turns out that he is extremely clever and deserves to be the first arrow of the Jinyiwei."

Luo Guangcai smiled embarrassedly, but said nothing more. Not long after the three monitors escaped, Fitingan arrived. He looked nervous and excited. He immediately said to Li Wei: "Master Qianhu, the time for you to wait is here."

Li Wei was stopping him, "Let's go to the house to talk."

The two walked into the mansion one after another and came to Li Weizheng's room. Fitingan took out a piece of information wrapped in a red envelope. The red envelope represents the highest level of information, which is very important.

"It's inconvenient for adults, just let me say!"

Fitingan opened the information and said to Li Weizheng: "The incident happened at the Mochou Restaurant one hour ago. Three palace guards were drinking in an elegant room. They were a little drunk. One of them said a huge scandal, saying that the palace guard Zhou Ji seduced the palace maids in the palace, causing many palace maids to have miscarriage. The incident was heard by the shopkeeper and reported to one of our brothers and wrote this report. The names of three guards in the report were."

Li Weizheng was also shocked. The guard was so brave that he dared to play with Zhu Yuanzhang's woman. He asked anxiously: "Who is this Zhou Ji?"

Fitingan sighed and said, "He is the son of Jiangxiahou Zhou Dexing."

‘Zhou Dexing?’ Li Weizheng frowned. He had a little impression of this person, as if he had calculated his fortune for Zhu Yuanzhang. In many folk stories about Zhu Yuanzhang, there was the character of Zhou Dexing. His mind quickly estimated the value of this matter. If this matter was confirmed, it would be difficult for Zhou Dexing to escape the disaster. Of course, Li Weizheng was not a good man and a woman. He would be so stupid that he covered up this matter for Zhou Dexing, whom he had never known each other. He was concerned about whether this matter could become his tool for seizing power. After pondering for a long time, this matter could be feasible.

The key now is how to bypass Lu Siyuan. Such important reports generally have to go through Lu Siyuan, and he summarized them to Jiang Yan, and finally to Zhu Yuanzhang. This matter was his bet, and no matter what, Lu Siyuan could not be known.

Seeing that Li Wei was thinking and silent, Fitingan thought he wanted to help Zhou Dexing, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, since the red report has been issued, this matter cannot be concealed, otherwise we will all be beheaded."

Li Weizheng shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this. I'm thinking of any way to prevent Lu Siyuan from knowing."

Fitingan thought for a while and smiled: "If Lu Siyuan didn't know, then Commander Jiang would definitely not know. I know there is a small opportunity here. Leave this matter to me, and I will let the emperor see this report tomorrow morning."

Li Weizheng was overjoyed, "Then I'll be in trouble!"

He immediately picked up his pen and signed his name in the report. This was the only report he had approved in the past six days. He believed that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely understand his good intentions in not reporting according to normal channels.

At noon the next morning, Fetingan came to the gate of the Jinyiwei General Office with this report. He did not go in, but stood at the door waiting for something. At this time of day, the guards sent by Zhu Yuanzhang would come to the Jinyiwei to get the important report of the previous day. This was the opportunity that Fetingan was waiting for. Several guards who received the report had already entered. Soon, they hurried out from the Jinyiwei Oriental Office with a sealed wooden box and walked past Fetingan. Everyone knew him and nodded and smiled.

Fitingan followed, after about a hundred steps, he caught up with the guard and whispered: "Old Miao, please stay!"

The guard stopped and looked at him in surprise. Fitingan took out the red envelope and said, "This is an urgent matter sent by the Jinyiwei just now. It is of great importance. If it is delayed until tomorrow, the matter will be serious. Our three thousand households have already reviewed it. Please transfer it to the emperor. I will give the copy to Commander Jiang."

The Miao guards were a little hesitant, which was equivalent to bypassing Jiang Yan. There was a little inconsistent with the rules. However, there were special cases. When the commander was not in the capital, the emergency information could be submitted by the commander Tongzhi, or the Jinyiwei reported directly to the thousand households.

Feitingan was also a palace guard, and everyone was familiar with him. Feitingan's father Fei Tian was very prestigious among the palace guards. He had to give him this face. After thinking about it, the guard Miao shook his eyes and said, "Let it come on!"

Fitingan was overjoyed and quickly placed the report on the wooden box, and repeatedly reminded him: "This matter is of great importance and must be handed over to the emperor, otherwise none of us will be able to take care of it."

"Can't you trust me with the tip?" Guard Miao smiled and left.

Fetingan looked at them uneasy as they disappeared into Chengtian Gate, and all hope was pressed on this...

Zhu Yuanzhang had already finished his morning court and was meeting the prince Zhu Biao in the imperial study. Zhu Biao's health has improved slightly in the past few days. Zhu Yuanzhang took some government affairs to deal with him. Today, Zhu Biao was summoned to the typhoon in Guangdong. Luo Ziqi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Zhu Quan, the Seventeenth Prince, served as the chief and deputy envoy of Guangdong Xuanwei. He has set off. However, judging from the latest disaster situation reported in Guangdong in the past two days, it seems to be even more serious than expected. Early rice in dozens of counties has been hit with devastating blows. Several counties have flooded, and early rice has no harvest. Hungry people are everywhere. Many people took risks and become pirates. The official warehouse has tight grain. The Guangdong governor requested the emperor to allow the secondment of military rations to provide disaster relief.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little hesitant about this matter. He had just read the military ration storage records in Guangdong, and there were 1.5 million stones of grain stored, which should be enough. However, he was worried that the military fields would also be affected. If they were seconded to civilians, once the military ration was tight and the adjustment was not enough, it would be a big deal for nearly 100,000 troops in Guangdong.

"Father, the son-in-law means to move two moves at the same time. On the one hand, first transfer 500,000 shi of military rations to local governments to provide disaster relief. At the same time, transfer 500,000 shi of civilian rations from Zhejiang and Fujian to return military rations. After the food arrives, the second batch of military rations will be borrowed. Otherwise, the time will be more sufficient. Otherwise, all of them will be relied on to transfer in other provinces. Not to mention the problem of transportation capacity, the son-in-law is afraid that the time will be too late, causing a large number of people to die due to hunger. In addition, the son-in-law is also worried that the plague will be spread in the disaster-stricken areas, which is also a big event. Therefore, the son-in-law suggests that it is best to let the army participate in the prevention of plague in the affected counties, cooperate with local officials to bury the bodies in time to prevent the epidemic."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled, "My son is indeed kind to the people and thinks about the people in everything. Seconding military rations is feasible. However, the army cannot contact too much of the plague death. At most, military doctors can participate. In fact, my idea is to change the assessment method of officials in Guangdong Province this year, with the two main indicators of disaster relief and plague prevention. If you do well, you will be promoted and promoted, and if you don't do well, you will be dismissed on the spot."

Zhu Biao quickly bowed and said, "It's still the father who thinks carefully, my son agrees."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the cabinet scholar to draft an order and issue it to Guangdong. After handling the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his son looked good and did not look tired. He was relieved and smiled at Zhu Biao and said, "Does the emperor have any difficulties recently? Let me tell my father, and the father will solve it for you."
