The transfer procedures were very quick and were completed on the spot. The deed had been changed to Li Weizheng's name, and he paid the house price, tax and intermediary fees one by one. The house officially became Li Weizheng's private house in Beijing. However, it would take three days for the original owner to move away. Li Weizheng was not in a hurry, so he made an appointment with the owner for three days to collect the house.

It was already dusk after the house chores. Li Weizheng took the carriage with Butler Huang. On the way, he took out twenty coins and said to Butler Huang: "The weather is hot today. Thank you very much for your hard work. I have been able to solve my house purchase problem smoothly. This is my wish. Please accept it with Butler Huang."

Butler Huang quickly refused, "You are a guest of honor in Chang'an Mansion, how can I accept your money? Besides, today is just a small task, and it's really not a big help."

Li Wei was not willing to give up and forced the money to him. Butler Huang had no choice but to accept the money.

"Butler Huang, I'm quite curious about that Lu Guan'er. He is a clerk, but he is not at all prepared. If the house I like doesn't agree on the surface, I will talk to the owner privately in the evening. Wouldn't I get rid of the clerk? I don't have to pay any commission."

Li Weizheng also had a real estate agent in his previous life. Because the house sales system is sound, it is difficult to get rid of the agent. However, it was different in the Ming Dynasty. Although it was necessary to get a family member, it was enough to find an old man with a normal household registration. He could get rid of the agent. The loopholes in the middle made him really curious.

Butler Huang smiled and said, "It is of course easy to get rid of the middleman, but everyone always has to say credit. You can't repent easily if you agree. Of course, some people will save money by throwing away the middleman, but after all, it is a minority. Hu Guaner has a good reputation. Everyone can trust him and don't care about this intermediary fee."

"So that's it!" Li Weizheng nodded with some emotion. Although the improvement of the legal system in later generations was shocking, the root cause of honesty and simplicity of people is the solution.

The carriage was about a quarter of an hour and gradually approached the Chang Mansion. However, the road was suddenly on both sides of the road, with soldiers standing guard everywhere, and ordinary pedestrians had to take a detour. When Housekeeper Huang was stunned, he suddenly remembered something big and complained: "It's bad! It's bad! Why did I forget that the princess is coming to visit her parents' home today."

Seeing that Butler Huang was full of panic, Li Wei was apologized and quickly comforted him: "Butler Huang, don't worry, didn't you say that Chang Mansion treats me as a guest of honor? What's wrong with accompanying the guest of honor? Your master will not blame you."

After hearing what Li Weizheng said, Housekeeper Huang slowly calmed down. At this time, the carriage could no longer enter. The two got out of the car and walked. After walking a few steps, the housekeeper of Chang's mansion came over in a panic, "Mr. Li, you are finally back. We are looking for you everywhere and you will not see me. Come with me. The master has something urgent to ask you."

Li Wei quickly followed the housekeeper into Chang's mansion, walked through the front hall, and came to the courtyard of the central hall. It was already under high alert. At this moment, Chang Sheng had already received a letter waiting at the door. When he saw Li Wei coming, he hurried forward and whispered: "Hurry up! The Empress wants to see you, and she has been waiting for a long time."

‘Crown Princess?’ Li Wei was stunned, but he immediately realized that the prince asked his wife to speak to him, which was actually a disguised apology. He was a little moved in his heart. The dignified Prince of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to condescend to apologize to a small person, which shows that he really valued himself.

Several guards who were guarding the Empress were all the prince’s confidants. They knew Li Weizheng and nodded to him with a smile, "Li Baihu, I'm sorry, we must search according to the rules."

Just as Li Wei knew the rules, he raised his hand and asked the guards to search up and down. The guards searched it, took out a few personal belongings, and temporarily placed them in the tray. "Okay, please follow me."

A guard brought Li Wei into the room. The light was dim. Several palace maids and eunuchs stood, saying that they were meeting each other, but they were actually unable to meet. Concubine Chang was sitting in the inner room, separated by a curtain, and a faint figure could be seen. On both sides of the curtain was a concubine Chang's personal maid, with expressionless expression, just like two clay sculptures.

Li Wei was kneeling down, "Li Wei, a concubine of the Jinyiwei, met His Highness, the Crown Princess."

After a while, I heard the gentle voice of Concubine Chang, "Li Baihu is not given a favor."

"Thank you!" Li Wei was standing up and stood with his hands down.

"When will Li Baihu come back?"

"Report to the Empress, I am returning yesterday and have not yet visited His Highness the Crown Prince. Instead, I was summoned by the Empress. I am extremely frightened."

"You don't have to blame yourself. The prince has been very busy these two days and has no time to see you. His Highness wanted to summon you tomorrow, but the emperor sent another decree to him to come to the palace to meet you tomorrow, so he asked me to tell you something."

"I dare not, please give me advice!"

The room was silent again. After a while, Concubine Chang said, "I will only repeat the original words of Your Highness. He said, "He will definitely give you an explanation for your father's affairs."

Li Weizheng knelt down slowly again. He bowed respectfully and saluted, "Please tell Your Highness that you know the kindness of your encounter, and I will engrave it in my heart!"

Concubine Chang behind the curtain nodded with satisfaction, and she smiled and asked, "Is your mute girl with you?"

"Report to the Empress, the mute girl is still in the uncle's house of Gusu, who is the empress. I have asked someone to pick her up yesterday."

"What's her name? Do you really can't speak in the future?" Concubine Chang had a deep impression of the mute girl.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Weizheng said again: "The mute girl is just her nickname. She can already speak. Her surname is Guo and her name is Qianqian."

Concubine Chang was shocked. She knew the name. At this time, she suddenly realized that no wonder she saw the mute girl in Jiming Temple. It turned out to be her!

"How did you know her?" Concubine Chang asked hurriedly again.

Li Weizheng did not hide it and said frankly: "She was sold as a slave in Linhuai County. Seeing that she was pitiful, the minister redeemed her and regarded her as her sister."

"It's her luck after all the hardships. Alas..." Concubine Chang sighed softly in the room.

"Li Baihu, I'm a little tired, you go back!"

"I'm going to leave."

Li Wei was slowly retreating. When he got outside the house, Chang Sheng walked up and patted his shoulder, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect the prince to value you so much. He actually asked the princess to bring you a message. But you know this matter yourself. Never go out to publicize it. If the emperor knows about this and knows that you are proud of it, your life will be difficult to save."

"Thank you, Lord Chang, for reminding me, I won't promote it."

Li Wei was just giving a tribute and turned around to leave, but Chang Sheng stopped him, "I heard you went out to buy a house, but my servants couldn't serve you well?"

"No! No!" Li Weizheng waved his hand and explained: "I first arrived in the capital and had no relatives, so I could only live in your home temporarily. In the future, I will start a family and start a business. How can I stay at someone else's house? Please forgive me."

"That's right! Then I won't force you to keep."

At this time, the Crown Princess was about to return to the palace. Chang Sheng didn't care about Li Weizheng and hurriedly went to arrange the imperial carriage. In the vast escort, Concubine Chang finished visiting her relatives and returned to the East Palace.

The night fell quietly, covering the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Lights lit up, like the summer night sky, but the palace was dark, and towering palaces added a bit of mystery to the darkness. Occasionally, a palace man walked by with lanterns and heard a cold cough. Zhu Yuanzhang did not like luxury. He had nothing to do at night, so he strictly forbidden to waste lights. Only his imperial study room was brightly lit, and Zhu Yuanzhang was having dinner in the study room.

His supper was very frugal, a bowl of rice, two or three side dishes, and a little oil star could be seen in the side dishes. These vegetables were planted by himself and tasted particularly sweet. Throughout the dynasties, there were imperial gardens in the palace, but there was not one here at Zhu Yuanzhang, but only the imperial garden. He ordered the guards and eunuchs to grow vegetables and grains, and ordered the palace maids and concubines to spin and weave cloth to reduce the cost of the palace as much as possible. He set an example and called on the dynasty to build a country with thrift, so that the Ming Dynasty could be revived as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood today. The emperor Zhu Di had just sent a detailed battle report. Although he had received a 800-mile emergency report ten days ago, he learned about the victory of the Northern Expedition and wiped out the 40,000 elite troops of the Northern Yuan Taiwei Naibuerhua. The Northern Yuan army had already escaped into the depths of the grassland. He was not only happy because of the victory of the Ming army, but also proud of his son's achievements. With Hu'er, who said that he could not live without Lan Yu?

He was also very happy to receive the detailed battle report today. He finished the meal quickly and prepared to read the battle report written by his son. Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly finished the meal and sat down after the imperial case. He opened Zhu Di's memorial a little anxiously.

The memorial was written with more than 3,000 words, from his dispatch of food and grass, his military arrangement, to his bold tricks to lure the enemy into the deep, including annihilation of the specific number of people and official positions of the Yuan army. In the book, he praised Fu Youde for his good military use, which was no less than Lan Yu. In the end, it was Fu Youde who killed the Taiwei Naibuerhua.

At the end of the war report was Zhu Di's self-blame. He did not hide his willingness to sacrifice the frontier military and civilians in order to lure the Yuan army south: "The act of my son was helpless, not the original intention. Although my son was lucky enough to annihilate the main force of the Northern Yuan Taiwei, it also caused heavy casualties in the Longmen Sect. Fortunately, Li Weizheng, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, led 500 weak soldiers to fight against the 30,000 cavalry of the 30,000 cavalry for a day and a night, and bought time for our army to avoid the ravages of the Tartars south of Xuanhua and make Peking not lose.

"Li Weizheng, a hundred households of Jinyiwei," Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He felt that the name seemed familiar. He seemed to have read it somewhere. He looked up and thought for a while. Suddenly, he remembered it. He immediately took out a file from the secret cabinet. This was the detailed report on the assassination of the prince of Dingyuan County reported by Jinyiwei at the beginning of the year. Zhu Yuanzhang flipped a few pages and his eyes were fixed. In the column of the yamen runners in Linhuai County, the words "Li Weizheng" were written.
