Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 143

After Li Wei withdrew, he stood in the corner and waited for a long time. After the powerful men had finished eating and drinking, he and the people from the Jiaofang Division called it a day and left the palace together.

After finishing his Zhengdan performance, Li Wei took an annual leave for himself as usual.

Although the Jiaofang Division is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, it is also an independent yamen. As the boss here, if Li Wei doesn't go there, no one will usually care about him.

As for Li sending people down to trouble him, hey, ever since he led the Jiaofangsi people all over the street and shouted to open the door, civil servants are now afraid to avoid him. No one wants to get into trouble just to deal with him, a sesame little official. .

In fact, the so-called killing of people at the highest official level also depends on the situation. For example, if you really encounter a tough person like Dao Tong, they will act according to the rules, and the superiors above will be helpless for a while.

If you have to deal with him, officials like Xu Ben and Zhu Liangzu, the political historians of Guangdong, who were several levels higher than him, ended up with Zhu Liangzu being whipped to death and Xu Ben being dismissed.

Even though they have a great advantage in bullying the subordinates, they are not necessarily able to control them, especially a rogue like Li Wei who is protected by the emperor. There is no point in impeaching him. If you insist on punishing him, you will only get a lot of trouble. Sao.

Now Wen Chen's attitude towards him is to treat him coldly, hoping that he can stay in Jiaofang Division peacefully and not cause trouble.

This is also the result Li Wei wants most.

After the holiday, Li Wei stayed at home and enjoyed life leisurely, just like last year.

But it's not like he didn't do anything. For example, he asked Laifu to write some greeting notes and sent them to various families.

Especially Xue Xiang, this old man had a dispute with him about this matter last year.

But today is different from the past. He doesn't go out, but there is an endless stream of people coming to his house.

First of all, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Bozong came hand in hand with his fellow Taoists.

Li Wei had no choice but to get up from Xiaoqing's gentle village to pick up the guests.

Laifu led the people in, and Li Wei greeted them with arms raised:
"Master Wu, please...sir!"

The surname Daotong is a bit awkward, but it is indeed his surname. He is of Mongolian descent, which is a Chinese surname.

"Master Li!"

Wu Bozong raised his hands in greeting, but Dao Tong bowed deeply and solemnly: "Master Li, I dare not or forget the grace of saving my life. Please accept Dao Tong's bow!"

Li Wei was slightly startled, and quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Master Dao, you don't have to be like this, please get up quickly!"

Li Wei helped him up and welcomed the two of them into the main hall to sit down.

Zuo Wu Bozong sighed and said: "Master Li, it's my fault for causing you to be so implicated this time. Wu is really sorry. Hey, I could have just refuted it at the beginning. I dare not implicate you in being demoted to this teaching workshop." manage."

Li Wei secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Forget it, if you dare to do this, your head will definitely be chopped off."

He knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him because he had irreplaceable value, but Wu Bozong did not. If he dared to act recklessly, his head would definitely be moved.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In fact, it's good to be here in the Jiaofang Division. Speaking of which, I also want to thank Mr. Wu!"

Li Wei said sincerely, this was really what he said from the bottom of his heart.

But Wu Bozong and Daotong didn't think so. They only thought that he said this to comfort them.

"Don't worry, Lord Li. I will definitely advise His Majesty again and let Lord Li be reinstated as soon as possible!"

Daotong said solemnly.

"Don't you!"

When Li Wei heard this, he felt flustered. Good guy, I have saved your life. How could you harm me like this?
However, Daotong's attitude was firm and he only treated him as a kind word because he didn't want to embarrass himself.

"No need to say more, Mr. Li, I will definitely fight for Mr. Li with all my strength!"

Li Wei was previously a third-rank official, and he had just been granted the title of uncle. Because of his affairs, he was not only demoted, but also deprived of his title. While he was grateful, he was also very guilty. After Zhu Yuanzhang brought him back, he wanted to You Qiandu was promoted to the fourth rank as a censor, but he refused and repeatedly asked Zhu Yuanzhang to reinstate Li Weiguan.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang thought so too, but he knew better that with Li Wei's attitude, it would be useless to reinstate the official. He would have to make other arrangements, so he never agreed.

Then Daotong persisted in admonishing, and it was only now that Li Wei was promoted to the sixth rank that he reluctantly accepted the post of supervisory censor of the seventh rank.

Seeing him like this, Li Wei had no choice but to repeat the same story he used to deceive Han Yike. Dao Tong and Wu Bozong were immediately in awe after hearing this!He stood up and bowed his hands to him again:
"Master Li is so noble and upright, I can't wait for you!"

Wu Bozong, in particular, felt extremely ashamed. When Li Wei was demoted to the Jiaofang Division, he was also demoted to the Imperial Academy for review.

Although he didn't have a strong sense of utilitarianism, he was suddenly demoted four levels in a row (from fifth to seventh with Congpin in between), which inevitably made him a little depressed. But when he heard Li Wei's words, he was immediately enlightened.

Yes, the court needs important ministers as well as minor officials. We cannot feel sorry for ourselves just because our official positions are low!
Seeing them like this, Li Wei quickly stood up and held his hands in his hands and said humbly:

"It's a reward, it's a reward. This is the consciousness we, as ministers, should have!"

"What Mr. Li said is absolutely true!" Wu Bozong was deeply impressed and felt that his ideological consciousness had been raised to a higher level after listening to your words.

However, Daotong disagreed and insisted: "That being said, Mr. Li's talent is really a bit underwhelming in the Jiaofang. I still have to advise His Majesty!"

Li Wei was shocked, I have said so much, but co-authoring it was all in vain?
"Please don't, I'm fine here, really!"

Li Wei's voice trembled slightly and he emphasized again sincerely.

"No, I can't let Mr. Li suffer such grievance!"

"No wronged, no wronged..."

"I must advise Your Majesty to reinstate Mr. Li to his post!"

"..." No matter how hard Li Wei begged, Daotong insisted on his own opinion.

Li Wei was so angry that he was speechless. What a hatred! You have to hurt me like this!

There was really no other way, so he had no choice but to let him go. This Taoist fellow was really stupider than Han Yike!

Li Wei sighed repeatedly, his heart full of worries. Dao Tong refused to listen to his advice. He could only hope that Zhu Yuanzhang would hold on and not listen to this guy's nonsense.

After sending the two people away, Xue Xiang came again.

"Xue Shangshu, why are you here?"

When Laifu brought the people in, Li Weiwei was surprised!

After all, Xue Xiang is one of the six bosses, and he is too old. Why should he not come to wish a junior like him a happy new year?

Xue Xiang rolled his eyes at him angrily: "If I don't come, you won't know how to go to my place!"

Li Wei has made progress this year and knows how to send greetings to people, but that's all.

Even his old boss didn't know how to come and pay him a visit.

Xue Xiang thought that it was just the beginning of the new year and he was not busy with official duties, so he came over to see this brat and give him a good education.

Li Wei smiled awkwardly and said that Xue Xiang also took good care of him, and he was looking for someone to help with the Ordnance Bureau some time ago.

"Old Minister, please come in quickly!"

Li Wei welcomed him into the door and poured him a cup of tea himself.

Seeing that he was still sensible, Xue Xiang finally looked better and asked softly: "This is the Chinese New Year, why don't you go out and walk around?"

Li Wei returned to his seat, sat down, and said with a smile: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. I think there is no need to care about these false courtesy if there is true friendship."

"Tsk, that's what I said, but you can't really do that. Favors still need to be exchanged to maintain relationships!"

Xue Xiang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and taught earnestly.

Li Wei smiled disapprovingly. He didn't have many friends in later generations, but the few remaining ones were friends he hadn't contacted for several years. If anything happened, he would go to friends who would do their best to help.

He felt that instead of struggling to maintain so many hypocritical fair-weather friends, he thought it would be better to save his energy to do good things and just have a few real friends.

Seeing him like this, Xue Xiang couldn't help but shook his head slightly. Your Majesty asked him to mention this kid more, but he didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He was quite capable in doing things, but he didn't know anything about human affairs.

"Sometimes false feelings are also very useful. For example, you are hiding in the Jiaofang Department now and don't know many things in the court. If you have some fair-weather friends, you can always have better information, so that things will not end. Still don’t know anything.”

Li Wei was slightly startled when he heard this. It seemed that this was indeed the case. It was the same in his previous company in Later Generations. He was the last one to know about everything and was sometimes quite passive.

However, he is still reluctant to spend energy on being insincere and perfunctory with others, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"Okay, I understand, thank you Mr. Xue for your advice!"

Li Wei cupped his hands and thanked him. Although he was reluctant in his heart, Xue Xiang always had good intentions.

Xue Xiang nodded slightly and asked again: "Do you plan to stay in the Jiaofang Division like this?"

"Ah, Jiaofangsi is pretty good. What do you think of the program I directed this time? Is it good?"

When talking about Jiaofangsi, Li Wei suddenly became interested and asked with concern about the audience's feelings.

Xue Xiang glanced at him. The program compiled by this boy was indeed good, except of course the first program that was immoral.

Due to Jiaofangsi's amazing performance at the Zhengdan banquet, those officials couldn't help but secretly visit Jiaofangsi today.

Although Li Wei does not go to work, Feng Jingchun and all the staff of the Jiaofang Division still have to work normally.

"That's true, but don't you want to go back to the Ministry of Works to do some serious work?"

Li Wei immediately put away his smile and decisively refused: "I don't want to!"

After hearing this, Xue Xiang shook his head secretly. He could see that His Majesty would not let this kid hang around in the Jiaofang Department forever. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he would eventually return to the Ministry of Works to work.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Xue Xiang said calmly, His Majesty probably has his own arrangements for Li Wei's affairs, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

The two chatted for a long time before Xue Xiang said goodbye and left.

After sending Xue Xiang away, Li Wei thought he would be able to calm down, but it turned out not to be the case.

The next day, Mu Ying also came and gave him two big stone locks.

Looking at these two big guys weighing about [-] pounds, what else can Li Wei say, other than thanking him, he can only thank him!

Fortunately, this talented guy is about to go on an expedition, and I probably won't have time to force him to practice in the future.

After entertaining Mu Ying, Han Yike came next. After that, there were Shen Jing, Fang Jianbao from the Bingzhan Bureau, and thousands of households in the Shenji Camp.

Even Sun Jian, who had been beaten several times by him from the Ministry of Works, came to join in the fun. Li Wei was so annoyed that he eventually imitated others and put a blessing bag at the door to hold invitations and other gifts.
