Chapter 193: Two wives are happy

As a winner, Li Weizheng did not stop at the border because of the retreat of the Kingdom of Korea. In fact, after Li Chenggui retreated, Li Weizheng led the Ming army deep into North Korea. They destroyed all North Korean ships and docks and strictly prohibited Li Chenggui's Korean military and civilians from going to sea. This was actually Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, suppressing North Korea on land, with Tieling Guard defense in the north, and surrounding the vast sea, making North Korea feel like squatting in a cage, not allowing them to have any insignificance.

However, the Liaodong Navy established a hundred-household office in Haizhou, west of the Korean Peninsula, with a military dock and more than a dozen military ships, responsible for monitoring the every move of the North Korean capital Kaijing. As long as North Korea makes any rash moves, the Liaodong army will rush over the sea.

In this way, the Ming army actually had two sea outlets on the Korean Peninsula, one was Anbian Port in the east and the other was Haizhou Port in the west. Echoing from east to west, Li Weizheng handed over the task of establishing an arsenal to his confidant in Tielingwei, and then directly crossed the Korean Peninsula and returned to Jinzhou by boat from Haizhou Port.

When his ship arrived at Lushun Port, it was already the fifth day of the first lunar month of the 26th year of Hongwu. The whole Ming Dynasty was immersed in the joy of the New Year, and the Liaodong Peninsula was no exception. In particular, tens of thousands of newly immigrated to Liaodong commemorated the beginning of their new life with an unusual solemnity. There were the sound of firecrackers everywhere, and every household had door talismans and lanterns, and the children were wearing new clothes and smiling.

As the immigration gradually settled, the social structure of Liaodong began to undergo great changes. Han villages rose from the ground, and small cities quietly appeared with the Han people's settlement. The Liaodong Han people, who were originally mainly military households, underwent structural changes. In order to adapt to this change, county-level officials appeared. A large number of magistrates, county magistrates, and chief clerks were sent to Liaodong from all over the country. These officials were mainly selected from the juren by the Ministry of Personnel of the court and were temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Dusi. The main task of these civil servants was to assist the army in controlling Liaodong, which belongs to a special military-political integration system that was half-army and half-people.

Similarly, since Li Weizheng became the general of Liaodong, the military power of Liaodong has been completely controlled in the General Office of Jinshan Guard. The role of Liaodong Dushi as the highest command organization of the army has gradually faded. It began to tend to government affairs, such as jurisdiction over military households, business travel, public security, schools, etc. Especially after 100,000 households moved to Liaodong, this tendency for government affairs became more obvious. The power of Liaodong Dushi in the army has actually been in name only, and it is actually the governor's envoy with the name of Dushi.

This is why Li Weizheng served as the general of Liaodong and commander of Liaodong. He gathered military and political power in one piece. In fact, this is why Yao Guangxiao pointed it out. If it weren't for Li Wei's name, Zhu Yuanzhang would never have given him such great power.

Li Wei returned to his home at noon. Half a month ago, he received news that his two wives had signs of pregnancy at the same time. Zitong and Su Tong both came to Liaodong in early October. It happened that that time was also the time when he had sex the most. Basically, he had sex every night. The two wives should have been pregnant at that time.

There are various reasons why Li Weizheng could not go home in time, such as successfully developing a flintlock rifle, such as he wanted to make a new type of artillery, and for example, men should be more important than career, etc., but in any case, as a husband, he returned home half a month after getting the news that his wife was pregnant, and he failed to spend New Year's Eve with his family. Such a husband and father were unqualified, and Li Weizheng felt guilty about this.

As soon as he walked into the door, his wives who had already received the news in advance all came out together. The two precious daughters ran in front of him. They are already three years old this year, and they all look pretty much the same.

"Dad is back!" The two daughters spread their wings like birds. Li Wei was so happy that he picked them up with one hand and kissed them in their faces with heartache, and said with a smile: "Do you miss your dad?"

"I want it!" The sister nodded heavily and pointed at her sister and said, "Sister said she wanted her father's gift."

"You little villain, you want a gift yourself!" Li Wei was smiling and putting them down, taking out two jade locks from his arms, hanging them around his neck and saying, "This is a birthday gift from Daddy."

"Thank you, Dad!" The two little guys kissed their father, happily ran to their mother with their jade pendants to show off.

Zi Tong, Su Tong, Yao Ji and Qianqian all came out together. Although Li Wei was unable to come back to spend the New Year with them, they did not complain at all. They knew that Li Wei had something more important. He was no longer the Li Dalang who was demoted to a commoner and did nothing. He was already a prince of the Ming Dynasty. As a wife, they could not hold back their husbands.

"Dalang, do you have any gifts for us?" Zitong stepped forward and smiled.

"Everyone has it, everyone has it."

Li Wei was turning around and waved his hand. Two personal soldiers carried into a box. He pointed at the box and smiled: "The things I bought for everyone are in the box. There are many things, and everyone has a share at home. You can choose what you like."

Qianqian hurriedly stepped forward and opened the box, and saw a dazzling array of food, use, wear, and even bought five or six Korean ginseng. She couldn't help laughing, "Brother, you are moving the market to our house!"

Li Weizheng's old face was a little hot, and Qianqian was not wrong. When he was about to leave Haizhou, he remembered to bring some gifts to his family. But without time, he ran to a nearby market and bought almost every small thing on the market. Anyway, they would like it.

"This..." Li Weizheng said embarrassedly: "I don't know what you like, so I bought a few items each, so I asked you to choose."

Su Tong also came over. She looked at the gift and smiled, "Actually, I don't care what Dalang buys. The key is that Dalang just needs to have this kind of heart. Sister, Sister Yao Ji, are you talking about what I said right?"

Yao Ji nodded with a smile and expressed her agreement, but Zi Tong did not agree. She shook her head and said, "You can talk. If you want me to say that you are willing, you won't be able to do it. If you don't feel satisfied with the gift you bought, I won't forgive him. No matter who told him to come back for the New Year."

"Sister!" Su Tong looked at his sister with some complaints. They agreed in the morning that her husband would come back and everyone would be happy together. How long has it been since then, why did the elder sister forget?

"I'm just kidding." Zi Tong blinked at her sister, smiled and walked up to her husband's arm and said, "Go into the house quickly! Let's stand at the door and chat about what to do."

Seeing that everyone was not angry with him, Li Wei put his heart down and squatted down to hold one of his two daughters in one hand, then went into the house with his wife and daughters.

When he walked into the lobby, Li Wei was putting everything on a large table, and a full table was filled with the two little guys. Everyone was excited to choose what they like. This was a pleasant moment. The things he bought were all very much loved by his family.

At this time, Zi Tong slowly walked to her husband and said to him quietly: "Tonight you must accompany Yao Ji. Su Tong and I are pregnant, and I can see that she feels very sad."

Li Wei looked at Yao Ji, who was helping Qianqian try on a crystal necklace in front of the bronze mirror. He nodded. He knew that Yao Ji always had a little inferiority in this family and always cautiously pleased others, not only because she had married, but also because she was a Japanese woman, but more importantly, she had no children. As she told herself before, she could not have children. If she had no children, this woman would have almost no status. Although she didn't care, she cared very much. This is a very realistic problem.

A hint of pity rose in his heart. Tonight he would comfort Yao Ji well. Whether she had children or not, he would treat her the same way. Thinking of the child, Li Wei suddenly remembered the most important thing. He quickly turned around and looked at Zi Tong and Su Tong's belly. Zi Tong was very tall and her belly was not very obvious, but Su Tong was petite and had a little bulge. It seemed that Su Tong had been pregnant earlier.

"What are the signs of you? I mean you know you are pregnant." Li Weizheng asked quietly.

"Actually, it's very simple. I didn't come last month's news, so did my sister. And she has reacted very badly these days and always retching. I guess she will give birth to a boy."

"What about you, do you want a boy or a girl?" Li Weizheng asked him with a smile.

Zi Tong blushed and said in a low voice: "I already have these two precious daughters, and I want to have a son, too."

At this time, Su Tong also picked up a string of pearl necklaces and put them on them. She came over and smiled at Li Weizheng and said, "Dalang, please help me see if this necklace is suitable for me?"

Li Wei was looking at it, and suddenly he thought of something, and hurriedly searched for something at the bottom, while searching, saying to himself: "I remember what I bought, where did you go?"

"Dalang, are you looking for that?" Zi Tong pointed to another string of black pearl necklace next to him and said.

"It's it." Li Wei was picking up the necklace and changing it for Su Tong. He looked up and down and smiled: "Your skin is white, and wearing this necklace makes you look even more dazzling."

When Su Tong heard her husband's praise, she lowered her head and stroked the necklace with a little embarrassed. Zi Tong also found a pair of agate bracelets she liked and put them on her wrist. When Li Wei saw that everyone had found what he liked, he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone listens to me."

Several women stopped to look at her, but only two little guys were looking for something. Li Wei was holding Su Tong's shoulder with one hand and Zi Tong's waist with the other, and smiled at everyone: "I'm a little late to come back, but the New Year is about festiveness and don't care about the specific day, so tonight is the first day of our family. The whole family is decorated with lights and decorate. I want to send red envelopes to everyone. Let's drink together, and we will not stop drunk."

At the same time when Li Weizheng and his family celebrated the New Year again, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed not to be affected by the New Year in the Ming Dynasty. For him, every day was the same, and every day he was almost thinking about the same thing: if the Zhu family was passed down for generations, although the wise man said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't be a horse and cow for their children and grandchildren", this sentence was obviously inappropriate to Zhu Yuanzhang. Since the day he ascended the throne, he has devoted all his efforts to consider the children and grandchildren. He must set a complete system. As long as the children and grandchildren follow the rules he set, the Ming Dynasty can be as solid as a soup and last for thousands of years.

In order to allow his descendants and emperors to hold great power forever, he launched the "Hu Weiyong case" in the 12th year of Hongwu, abolishing the prime minister at the cost of killing tens of thousands of people, and pushing the imperial power to the supreme position; in order to prevent lower-level officials from corruption and abuse of power, he caused the emergence of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of the Ming Dynasty, thus shaking the Ming Dynasty from the foundation, he implemented the most harsh laws on officials, and in Hongwu, he borrowed the Guo Heng case and the Kong Seal case to warn officials of the world with bloody killings. Now his third step of protecting the Ming Dynasty can be made, and his sons can all stand alone, and the world has been firmly in his hands. The time to kill Lan Yu and others is ripe. To complete this matter, his layout of the world that lasted more than 20 years will end.

Zhu Yuanzhang was carefully considering how to create this major case before the case was decreed. He decided that the time for this major case was just after the kings were performing the show in April. It was a major event for the kings to perform military exercises. Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Fu Youren, Wang Bi, Zhu Shou, He Bo and other generals who were leading the army outside could take this opportunity to recall them, and in name only observe the training of the kings and guide their shortcomings as elders and veterans. At present, Lan Yu is in the military farming in Guizhou, and Feng Sheng and Fu Youren are both in Shaanxi, so they can use Mingsheng's method to order them to enter the palace.

In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's original plan, it is best to eradicate these important officials in the army one by one to avoid criticism from the world. However, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his mind. He vomited blood and fainted continuously in the past or two months, and his chest pain was unbearable. He began to suspect that his deadline was approaching and there was not much time left. The emperor's grandson was weak and kind. If he went, he would never continue to kill these important officials. Instead, he would have a great appointment. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the opportunity and decided not to kill them one by one, but to catch them all in one place.

For this reason, he had already made two moves. The first move was to give Lan Yu the crown prince's tutor, Feng Sheng and Fu Youren the crown prince's tutor, and then sent them out to entrust important tasks, with the purpose of being arrogant; the second move was to order the commander of the Jinyiwei Jiang Yan to draw the Jinyiwei's capable elites and go to secretly investigate the evidence and excuses of these people's rebellion according to his list.

Now he has received a secret report. When Lan Yu learned that he was only a Taifu but was not a Taishi, he complained and told his staff, "He already doubted me." If he had no intention of a traitor, how could he say this? Fu Youren asked for a thousand acres of fertile land, and wanted to learn from Qin Wang Jian and his son to drive profits and avoid disasters, but he did not become a dog like a tiger. His two sons privately advised his father to take the army to protect himself, and his intentions were clear; the other one was Feng Sheng, someone reported that he built a secret room under the rice field and privately hiding weapons. Although there was no direct evidence, the three words "Moxuyou" could be placed on him. The rest of Wang Bi, Zhu Shou, He Bo, Ye Sheng and others had close contact with Lan Yu, which could be regarded as a party dealt with.

Zhu Yuanzhang calculated step by step that he had already made a complete list, and as he continued to increase, he sorted out the fish that had missed the net, finally picked up the pen, dipped it in a little ink and added two more names to the list: Chang Sheng and Li Weizheng.

Chang Sheng has prestige in the army, but more importantly, he will become a relative of the foreign country, thus leaving behind the hidden danger of the autocracy of the foreign country. Li Weizheng has become a prince, and he will have the possibility of losing control in the future.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something. He put down his pen and walked to the door. He looked at Zhu Yunwen who was reading the memorial in the library next door. Zhu Yunwen was studying hard at the desk. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his thin shoulders and sighed secretly.
