Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 124 Still have to find a wife
Queen Ma gave him a white look with her phoenix eyes. Lao Zhu's anger immediately disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

The ancients were right, if you want to relieve your anger, you have to find a wife!

Seeing that his wife's complexion improved, Zhu Yuanzhang put away his smile and got down to business:

"You don't know, this bitch only wants to be lazy and doesn't want to do anything for us. It's the same this time. We just finished beating him and he came to us like this. He clearly wants to force us to fire him! "

"Did you hit him again?" Queen Ma immediately grasped the point.

"Uh, haha, we didn't want to either, but this bitch is so irritating. We got angry when he did that, so we couldn't hold it back and gave him a few blows!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled awkwardly, and after speaking, he bit his back teeth and waved twice.

Queen Ma sighed and said, "You can't keep fighting. Who would dare to do anything for you if this goes on? You see, there are so many vacancies in the various ministries of the DPRK and central government and they can't find anyone. It's just that you are afraid of being killed!"

"No, this kid is different! Don't look at those scholars who say they don't want to be officials. In fact, they are not crowding into our court. There are only a few who claim to be noble. They don't come to us. It’s not unusual either!”

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he sat down next to Queen Ma. Queen Ma moved a little to the side. Seeing that she was not angry, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled twice and continued:
"But this bitch is different. He just doesn't want to be an official for us. Even if we give him a promotion or a knighthood, he is never happy. His only shortcoming is that he is a bit greedy for money, but he is also quite principled and never That's the corruption thing."

"Isn't this good? I don't covet power. I love money but I get it in a wise way. The key is not as lustful as someone else."

Speaking of the lustful Queen Ma, she glanced at Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu immediately understood what he meant and said with a displeased grin: "This is serious business, why did it get involved in this? You are really. Besides, what's wrong with men being lustful?" ?What man is not lustful? Really!"

Queen Ma snorted coldly.

After a pause, she frowned again and said worriedly: "You said that this Li Wei doesn't marry a wife at such an old age. Is there something wrong with that?"

This is a serious issue. It involves the life of your daughter and cannot be taken lightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned, but then he shook his head and said: "No, no, you don't know, that bitch has been clamoring for us to be the Jiaofang Secretary all day long, let's see he is also... well, he is a lecher!"

After hearing this, Queen Ma nodded and stopped asking further questions.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he felt a little unsure again.

Think about it carefully, this piece of shit wants money and status now. It has been more than half a year. Why doesn't he marry a wife and have a concubine? According to the surveillance records, he is the only one who doesn't even have the few wives in his own family. The girl has never touched it, so something is wrong.

Thinking of this, he started to mutter a little.

"Then what are you going to do this time? Are you really going to kill him?" Queen Ma got back to business.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed when he heard this and said: "You also know that our purpose of killing Hu Weiyong is to depose the prime minister. We have spent so much effort and finally completed it. Now there is a cabinet. If we let him really carry out our will If it is rejected, then the power of the cabinet in the future will be too great, and it may develop into a situation where everything is different from the other!"

He narrowed his eyes, flashed a sharp look, and continued:
"We must punish him severely this time, and at the same time, cut down the cabinet!"

When Empress Ma heard this, she didn't give much persuasion. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang made a rational judgment, she usually supported it. She would only come out to give advice when the old man acted foolishly.

"But what if this Taoist fellow is really unjust?"

Queen Ma said worriedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately waved his hand and said confidently: "Impossible. Although Zhu Liangzu is a bastard, I understand that he would not dare to lie to us about this!"

In fact, Zhu Liangzu had committed many crimes before, and Zhu Yuanzhang had also punished him. As long as such generals were not rebelling, he was not prepared to touch them for the time being.

Empress Ma nodded slightly. Seeing that he had calmed down completely, she no longer worried and said directly: "Since you have thought about it, that's fine. If you have nothing else to do, just get out of here. I want to rest."

"Uh, haha, okay, let's go first. Sister, you should rest early."

Zhu Yuanzhang put on a smile, stood up and slowly retreated, and then went to find other wives to vent his anger.

The next day, because Li Wei was injured in the buttocks, Mu Ying temporarily let him go. Li Wei stayed at home to recover from his injuries and did not go on duty.

Generally speaking, after an official is beaten, he still has to go on duty. Li Wei's case was considered as skipping work.

But no one is taking care of him for the time being, and the court is currently quarreling about him.

"Your Majesty, Minister Li is upright and speaks out, which is truly an act of loyalty to the emperor. Although he has gone too far, there are extenuating circumstances. I sincerely ask your majesty to treat him leniently!"

Han Yike stood up and remonstrated loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although Mr. Li's actions are a bit reckless, his starting point is good and he should still be forgiven!"

Xue Xiang followed.

"Your Majesty, I believe that what Lord Han and Shangshu Xue said is very true. Although Shi Lang acted beyond his authority, what he said was reasonable. It is really inappropriate for Tao Tong to send him to death based on the words of Marquis Yongjia alone! "

The newly appointed Minister of Civil Affairs, Ruan Quan, spoke out.Many censors followed, and even Zhao Ben, Zhang Zongyi and others also spoke for Li Wei.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply at the people below, clearly seeing their expressions, words, and inner thoughts.

Some people here really want to speak for Li Wei, like Han Yike, Xue Xiang, and several censors.

But most of them have other thoughts.

This time, Li Wei's reckless behavior gave them hope of once again getting involved in the power of the prime minister. Although it was Li Wei, the "treacherous man" who refuted the imperial edict this time, it didn't matter. After all, Li Wei also belonged to the civil service, as long as he succeeded. , then others can follow suit.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen this clearly, so he was going to fire Li Wei from his position today, and he also had to change the people in the cabinet. Wu Bozong was also demoted to Hanlin review.

However, when the officials learned what Li Wei had done, they all unanimously raised objections, and the purpose was obvious.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had to remove Li Wei no matter what he said this time. Otherwise, he would be in trouble in the future, and the cabinet would definitely be too weak!

"Li Wei is arbitrary in power, but he dares to resist the decree. If we don't kill him, we are already treating him leniently!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was cold and his eyes were cold as he scanned the crowd.

"Your Majesty has done something wrong, and ministers should advise and stop it. Mr. Li did nothing wrong!"

The others all flinched when facing Zhu Yuanzhang, but Han Yike was the only one who spoke uprightly and never gave in!
"You say we have done something wrong? A son never talks about his father's fault. As a minister, how dare you say such things about our king and father?"

"It is foolish and loyal for you not to speak up when you have a fault. I have no choice but to speak up!"

"You are so impudent. We see that you are just like that bitch. He needs to be dealt with! Someone, please pull him out and give him twenty canes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily. In fact, he also knew that what Han Yike said was reasonable, but now it was a battle for power, not a battle between right and wrong. It was only because Han Yike was too stubborn to be flexible that he could only force it!

After Han Yike was pulled out, Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered Li Wei to be removed from all official positions and reduced his title without giving the ministers a chance to object!

After the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the apse, frowning.

Li Wei made such a move this time, and his reputation among the officials suddenly improved a lot. From a treacherous villain, he suddenly turned into an upright and loyal minister who offended Yan Yan.

Thinking about how hard I tried to pull this guy out of the pit, I didn't expect that he accidentally climbed out by himself. But in this way, he and the civil servants stood on the opposite side of the imperial power. This is Zhu Yuanzhang unacceptable!

After pacing back and forth for a while, careful plans gradually took shape in his mind.

In fact, it is easy to get Li Wei to side with him. As long as the little princess comes out of the cabinet next year and turns this boy into a prince-in-law, status determines position, and he can only side with the imperial power.

But before that, he still needs to make some arrangements to train this kid!
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, frowned, slowly sat down on the dragon chair, and began to think deeply.

This time he removed Li Wei from all his official positions, and even took the earl away from him. Although he was not actually beheaded, the punishment was extremely severe, enough to frighten the minds of those civil servants.

But now this kid is free, how can this be done?

Thinking of this boy's leisurely appearance, he became angry. No, he still had to arrange something for him.

Well, doesn’t he want to go to Jiaofangsi? How about letting him go to Jiaofangsi?

Thinking of yesterday's conversation with Queen Ma, Lao Zhu couldn't help but flash this unreasonable thought!
But it seems possible to think about it. For civil servants, Jiaofangsi is a place that no one wants to go, and demoting Li Wei to Jiaofangsi can be regarded as a punishment!
Just in time to give this guy a try.As the saying goes, a gentleman should be lustful but not lewd. It's not okay to be bad, and it's not okay to be messy. If this kid can do this, we will consider him to have passed the test!
But in the trial, we can't let this kid really mess around. We have to send someone to keep a close eye on him. If he dares to mess around, we'll castrate him!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought viciously.

Having made up his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Xu Shou who was waiting next to him and said: "It is our will to demote this bitch Li Wei to the rank of Secretary of the Jiaofang and recruit Mao Xiang."

"According to the order, I will take care of it now."

Xu Shou bowed in agreement and left in a hurry.

After a long time, Mao Xiang walked in quickly.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly: "Well, we have some things for you to handle. Please listen carefully..."

He told his follow-up plans one by one. In addition to letting him monitor Li Wei, he also had some other arrangements.

Mao Xiang was secretly shocked when he heard this. His Majesty had worked so hard for this Li Wei!

Li Wei was still recovering from his injuries at home, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already paved an unexpected path for him.

　Kavin, I’m checking the information and will update it later this afternoon.
