Chapter 92 Two deputy

In the Qin Palace, King Zhu Chuang of Qin had a gloomy face, paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He lowered his head, standing with his two aides Zhao Wuji and Shao Wenda. The Qin King was in a bad mood today. Originally, at the court meeting, the father would officially announce him as the clan order and give him a chance to increase his reputation, but it was not announced in the end. He stood for two hours, but became the background of the King of Yan. However, the King of Yan was very popular, which really made him jealous. Li Weizheng even stepped on his shoulder and became the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Chuang was depressed. He suddenly turned around and asked the two aides coldly, saying, "Wang Han has always expressed his loyalty to me. Seeing that he was about to be promoted to a thousand households this time, Li Weizheng appeared with his sword and took his chance. I couldn't bear it anymore. How do you think I should deal with him?"

These days, Zhao Wuji was very silent. He locked himself in the room and thought about his mistakes all day long. He recalled his failure little by little. Finally, he concluded that the two failures in Dingyuan County and Wuchang were the culprits of Li Weizheng. For this reason, he gritted his teeth and wanted to crush Li Weizheng's bones and ashes. However, he had no manpower and power in his hands and could no longer avenge his personal revenge. Today, news came again that Li Weizheng had become a thousand households in the Jinyiwei, and Zhao Wuji was almost angry.

Seeing that the King of Qin seemed to touch Li Weizheng, Zhao Wuji immediately seized the opportunity and bowed and said, "Your Highness, the enemy of the Jinyiwei is everywhere, and people who want to eat his flesh are everywhere. Today, Li Weizheng suddenly became the limelight figure of the Jinyiwei. I think there will be more people who are willing to kill him. If Li Weizheng suddenly dies, who would think about his highness?"

"No!" As soon as Zhao Wuji finished speaking, Shao Wenda immediately stood up and opposed: "I told Your Highness a few days ago that the emperor punishing King Jin is actually warning the kings not to tempt their minds anymore. I think the meaning of the emperor warning Your Highness is stronger. At this time, Your Highness should keep a low profile and focus on his energy elsewhere. Don't cause any trouble in the court anymore. Li Weizheng is already a thousand households in the Jinyiwei. You should be more cautious when moving people of this level. If something happens to him, how can the emperor give up? Once he closely investigates and finds out Zhao Yue's background, Your Highness will be in danger!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Wuji again and said sarcastically: "Some people are instigating and provoking them for their own selfishness. Your Highness must be careful!"

Zhao Wuji's face turned red and he glared at Shao Wenda and said, "It's obviously Your Highness asking how to deal with Li Weizheng. I'm just sharing your worries for Your Highness. Why is it your own selfishness? You have to make it clear."

"Okay, don't argue."

Zhu Ren stopped the quarrel between them unhappily. They regarded it as incompatible with each other these days, and attacked each other whenever they had the chance. This was not good for him. However, Shao Wenda's words just now did remind him that Li Wei was appointed by his father himself, so he really couldn't act rashly. He should turn his energy to the ships of silver in Japan. This is the urgent problem at present. As for Li Wei, thousands of households, he has already made a fortune. Even if he can't kill him, he can't be comfortable with his thousand households...

Thinking of this, he said to Shao Wenda: "Please ask Mr. Shao to find Lu Siyuan and pass on my meaning to him. In short, I don't want Li Weizheng's thousand-household family to be too comfortable, so he can do it by himself! Also, Zhao Yue is my person, so he can't know about this."

As night fell gradually, pedestrians on the street began to be scarce. The moon climbed to the west and spread a silver light to the world. On Changle Street, Jiangning County, a carriage rushed over and slowly stopped in front of a house. In the carriage, Lu Siyuan whispered to Wang Han, the southern fury of Jinyiwei, "Did you remember what I told you?"

Wang Han nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will say as Mr. Lu wants to."

The carriage stopped, Wang Han got out of the car, walked up the steps of Zhao Yue's house, knocked on the door knocker, and the door opened, and he walked in and the door closed heavily. Lu Siyuan on the carriage kept staring at him into the house, and then he hid in the darkness inside the carriage.

Zhao Yue, the deputy thousand-household, is a medium-sized house covering two acres of land. He has a wife and two concubines, and several maids who sleep with him. He has four or five children. His eldest son is twenty years old and he is doing nothing at home. He is preparing to inherit his father's business. His youngest son is ten years old and is studying in school. Although Zhao Yue's official career is not good, he is the oldest among the Jinyiwei, so he can always be seen in many big cases with abundant resources, and he has really made a fortune. However, like all Jinyiwei officials, he always keeps a low profile and dare not show off his wealth. He doesn't even know how much money he has, even his wife.

At this time, Zhao Yue was drinking alone in the study with a blue face. The study was an inherent territory of men. It was not about age or how much to study. People with better conditions would arrange it. Although Zhao Yue couldn't read a lot, he also had his own study. There were not many books in the study, nor did he have paper or pen, and only one wine jar after another. Wine was Zhao Yue's favorite, especially when he encountered troubles, he would indulge in wine.

Today can be said to be the darkest day in Zhao Yue's life. He waited for eight years, and the position of Thousand Houses that he was bound to be won was lost at the last moment. When he heard the news, he even wanted to die. He was already forty-three years old. He followed the emperor to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but was defeated by a young man who had just debuted and was nearly twenty years younger than him. How could he be convinced? Not only that, he also became the biggest laughing stock of the entire Jinyiwei. Just three days ago, he specially invited hundreds of households to drink and talked with everyone about what he would bring to everyone after becoming a thousand households. But now, his face was really lost. Not only that, the King of Qin has always had great expectations for him. If he couldn't even make a thousand households, how could he become the representative of the King of Qin in the Jinyiwei? Although he is a rough man, he still understands this principle.

Zhao Yue sighed and drank the wine in his glass. At this time, the butler's report came from outside the study, "Master, Lord Wang, the governor of the poliest, is here."

Zhao Yue was stunned, and he immediately stood up and said, "Hurry up and invite him!" He simply put down his wine glass and went to greet him in person.

Zhao Yue and Wang Han were from professional backgrounds, while the other was a rude soldier. They should have no common language. In fact, their relationship was particularly good. This was both a fate and a complementary advantage. Lu Siyuan knew the relationship between the two very well, so he pulled Wang Han as his own fake hands. In addition, because Lu Siyuan had a very high hidden position in the Jinyiwei, the senior officials of the Jinyiwei were very pleased with him, especially Wang Han not only flattered him, but also became his confidant. He would instruct Wang Han to do many things that he did not want to come forward. It is most appropriate that Wang Han did this today.

"Zhao Qianhu looks bad! But for the sake of daytime?" Wang Han said straight to the point as soon as he met.

"Don't mention it!" Zhao Yue sighed and said, "Don't call me a thousand households, I'm just a deputy thousand households, far from a thousand households." He seemed very depressed.

Wang Han put his shoulder and patted him, and smiled and said, "Don't be so discouraged, I'm here to enlighten you, go! Go and have a drink first."

The two of them came to Zhao Yue's study and sat down opposite him. Wang Han took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Zhao Yue, and then poured himself a glass. He picked up the glass and smiled, "What do you mean, let's drink a glass of wine first."

Zhao Yue drank the wine in depressedly. Thinking of what happened during the day, he finally couldn't help but sigh: "I, Zhao Yue, followed the emperor to conquer the world at the age of fifteen. He came over in the bloody storm and dealt with so many major cases. Even if there is no contribution, he will work hard. In the end, he can't even be a thousand households. Can the world be the deputy thousand households who have been in eight years?"

Wang Han took a sip of wine and smiled slowly, "If I tell you, Li Weizheng's final position has not yet been settled, do you believe it?"

"How is this possible! I have seen his appointment letter with my own eyes, and it was the emperor's personal seal. How could there be no dust settled?" Zhao Yue was so excited that his neck turned red, but when he saw Wang Han drinking calmly, it was not like a joke, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose from his heart. He quickly asked, "Do you take this seriously? What is the basis?"

Wang Han smiled and said, "I have no basis, but the facts are there, haven't you seen it?"

"What's the fact?" Zhao Yue's voice was a little trembling. He quickly filled Wang Han with wine and begged: "Old Wang, don't hang me anymore. My heart is so itchy. Just tell me!"

"Okay, I'll tell you." Wang Han said calmly: "You should know who Li Weizheng is!"

"I heard that he is the prince."

"The problem is here. Our Jinyiwei is the emperor's direct subordinate, and the emperor is loyal to him. Li Weizheng has a little difficulty in both ways. He can only choose to be loyal to the emperor, but how can the prince explain? Is the prince willing? So I said that his position is not decided, that's what it means. As far as I know, the prince's original intention is to let him be the chief guard of the Eastern Palace. I think the prince will definitely work hard to transfer him back to the Eastern Palace from the Emperor. Whether he can return to the Eastern Palace is the key..."

Speaking of this, Wang Han stopped dramatically and looked at Zhao Yue with a smile, meaning, 'Do I still need to say what happened next?'

Zhao Yue stood up in a hurry and saluted him repeatedly, "Brother Wang, no! Mr. Wang, please tell me, I am a rough man, how can I pay attention to the mystery here? Just tell me!"

Wang Han smiled sinisterly, and he lowered his voice and said word by word in his ear: "The key is his performance in the Jinyiwei. If he can't make a living or even commit a crime, the emperor will of course agree to the prince and transfer him away."

Zhao Yue stood there in a daze, gradually his eyes lit up, and he understood what Wang Han meant.

"Okay! I'll contact my brothers tonight."

At the same time when Wang Han was tempted by Zhao Yue, another deputy of the Jinyiwei of the three institutes, Fei Ting'an, also came to his father's study. Fei Ting'an's father was named Fei Tian. As early as when the Jinyiwei was still Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial guards, he had a hundred households. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the Jinyiwei was established, Fei Tian was the first thousand households. This was done for eight years. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to promote him to commander, and Jiang Yan was just the second candidate, but unfortunately, Fei Tian suddenly fell ill in those days, and the opportunity was taken away by Jiang Yan. Since then, his health has been in poor health.

Yu, by the age of fifty this year, he officially proposed to retire due to physical reasons. Generally speaking, the army implemented a hereditary system. After his father retired, the eldest son would inherit his official position. However, the Jinyiwei was different. Although it implemented semi-military management, senior officials of more than a hundred households were appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. For core figures like Qianjia, Zhu Yuanzhang had to be strictly selected. Therefore, after Fei Tian retired from the official position, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly gave his son part of the inheritance rights, and promoted from a hundred households to a deputy Qianjia. This is how the Fei family has been grateful.

Fei Tian’s biggest hobby in his life was to collect jade. Due to professional factors, over the past ten years, he has collected a large number of precious jade artifacts in his hands. For this reason, he specially designed a secret room in his study to display it. After retiring from the officialdom, he spent at least seven hours a day to taste his various jade artifacts.

At this moment, Fei Tian was tasting a white Han Dynasty Ruyi under the lamp. Through the light, he was carefully looking at the impurities or broken marks in it, which made him very satisfied. He looked at it for half an hour and found only a trace of subtle impurities. It is impossible for jade to have no impurities. The key is the amount of impurities. Like this impurities that are only one inch long and hair-like, this is the best jade.

Just as he recorded the tasting results and picked up another jade pendant, his son Fitingan quietly walked into the study and whispered: "Father, are you free now?"

"Is there anything you have to do?" Fei Tian put down the jade pendant. Fei Tingan was his eldest son and his only son. Compared with jade, it is more important for his son.

"Father, the thousand households of the three institutes have finally been appointed today, but it is not Zhao Yue."

Fei Tian was stunned, ‘It’s not Zhao Yue?’

Like everyone else, he also believed that the three thousand households were Zhao Yue. In terms of qualifications, credit, and ability to do things, none of the other nine deputy thousand households of the Jinyiwei could catch up with Zhao Yue. Although he had the biggest weakness of not much literacy, the qualifications of the other thousand households were too different from him. The most important thing in the Jinyiwei was qualifications. When Zhao Yue was a hundred households, the other thousand households were at most a small banner. If Zhao Yue had not suffered the loss of studying much, he would have been promoted to a thousand households long ago.

"Report to my father, today's court meeting, the emperor officially appointed a young man to three thousand households. This person is also a hundred households of the Jinyiwei. However, it has only been half a year since he joined the Jinyiwei. I heard that he was the prince before."

'Crown Prince's man!' Fei Tianran said that he was referring to Li Weizheng. He knew that, no wonder he was so successful. He nodded and smiled: "This person has been a thousand households, and Zhao Yue may have the desire to die."

"It's so. After Zhao Yue received the news, he didn't say a word. The commander asked him to see Xinqianhu. He actually crushed the teacup in his hand. Later, Xinqianhu was going to the military camp, but he ignored him and left."

"Hmph! Zhao Laosan's stupid temper remains unchanged. He will never want to be in the position of Qianhu in his life. It is a mistake for the King of Qin to be interested in people like him." Fei Tian was obviously very disdainful of Zhao Yue. He pondered for a moment, and then asked his son: "What is your attitude?"

"Reporting to my father, the child has always been respectful and treated him according to the normal courtesy of his subordinates, but the child is still a little confused, so I would like to ask my father to give me some advice."
